In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 571 Fiefdom
Xianyang, Qin Palace.

The state of Wei was destroyed, and the state of Chu was next.

A group of Qin officials gathered in the palace to discuss the matter of defeating Chu.

At this time, Wang Ben's army was resting in Weidi to quell the disputes in Weidi.

Since Yingdu was attacked by Baiqi, the national power of Chu State suffered a great loss.Over the years, although the national strength has recovered, it is not the same as when it was at its peak.But even after the Chu State lost the Jianghan Plain where it started, it still occupies a vast area, and there are many armored people, which is not comparable to the Wei State.

For the Qin army, the bigger problem is that in order to stay away from the threat of Qin, the state of Chu moved its capital to Shouchun, south of the Huai River.

The depth and vastness of the Chu State is a great test for the Qin army.

King Qin looked at Wang Jian.

As a general in the army, Wang Jian is the most meritorious among the Qin generals.

"The general thinks how many troops are needed to destroy Chu?"

Wang Jian cupped his hands and said.

"It must be 60!"

Wang Jian's words shocked the whole hall.This is not a small number, you know, even in the battle of Changping, Qin State did not dispatch so many troops.

Of course, compared to back then, Qin is stronger now, and it is not impossible to dispatch 60.

But the problem is, although the state of Chu is big, it is not the state of Zhao in the past. What does Wang Jian want so many people to do?
Mr. Changping was behind, looking at the back in front of him, his heart was full of fear.If Wang Jian really brought 60 people to Chu State, then his arrangement would be useless.

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are useless.

Lord Changping looked up at King Qin, and saw that he was also hesitating.Mr. Changping knew very well that letting so many people follow Wang Jian to conquer Chu was not only a matter of trust or not, but also a matter of economic cost.

60 people, that is, after the war, everyone was promoted to the first rank, and based on the lowest standard of duke, 60 hectares of land is needed.

The Qin State spent more than ten years building the Zhengguo Canal, a national project. After its completion, the irrigated area was only [-] hectares.

Of course, not all land is like the land irrigated by the Zhengguo Canal, yielding one bell per mu.But the 60 hectares of land is also a big problem.

Shangjun moved wood, based on faith.

Once it cannot be resolved safely, the military merit title system will go bankrupt, and the pillar of the Qin State will also collapse.

This is a big issue with national roots.

What's more, if it loses, Qin will also face huge risks, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

Lord Changping thought of this, laughed loudly, and walked out of the court.

"A mere state of Chu, why do we need 60 troops!"

Mr. Changping handled the refugees very well in Korea, and because of this, when everyone saw him coming out, they subconsciously thought that he was going to show off again.

"Although the state of Chu has a vast territory, there are many monarchs. The farther the order of the king of Chu is spread, the less effective it will be. Facing a strong enemy, they will certainly unite. However, since the fall of Yingdu, the elite of the Chu royal family have been wiped out. Now on the land of Chu, the Chu army is composed of the private soldiers of the major lords. Facing our great Qin elite, they may not be willing to fight recklessly. In my opinion, I only need to appease the people of Chu later, and then choose a brave one. General, you can conquer Chu."

After Mr. Changping finished speaking, Li Xin came out.

"Your Majesty, I only need 20 troops to conquer Chu."

Li Xin was a general in the Qin army, ranking after Wang Jian.Both Wang Jian and Wang Ben got the credit for destroying the country.At this time, Li Xin was also a little eager to try.

King Qin thought about it for a while, and finally decided.

"In this way, we will take Li Xin as the general and Meng Tian as the deputy general, and lead the 20 elite camps in Guanzhong to choose a day to destroy Chu."

"promise!"

After the court meeting ended, King Qin called Li Xin and Meng Tian to the imperial garden.

When Li Xin and Meng Tian arrived, King Qin was playing chess with Li Si on the tower.

"Kings!"

Whether it is Li Xin or Meng Tian, ​​they are all generals of the young and strong faction that King Qin valued.Unlike Wang Jian, who is already old, Li Xin and Meng Tian will still play an important role in the future Qin State even if Qin State ruled the world.

So this time, King Qin asked these two young generals to go together, intending to train them so that they could make military achievements.

"Li Xin, you are courageous and courageous, so you can be a general, but this time you will destroy Chu, and you will be a general. With a 20 army at your fingertips, you must put stability first, and you must pay attention to the stability of the rear. Don't underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. You have to learn more from Wang Jian on this point."

"I understand."

The king of Qin gave some instructions, and the chess piece in his hand dropped.

"Meng Tian!"

"Chen is here!"

"Your Meng family's iron cavalry is one of the best in our Great Qin Army. The Chu land is vast, but the Chu people's horses are not as good as our Qin horses. This time you assist Li Xin, you must pay attention to the safety of the army's flanks."

The state of Chu claimed to ride ten thousand horses, but most of the horses used were produced in the Huaihe River area, or they were Yunnan horses, and only a small amount was purchased from the north.Compared with Qin, Zhao, Yan and other countries, Chu's cavalry is much inferior, and the navy is stronger.

The core area of ​​Chu State is south of the Yellow River, along the Jianghuai area.Although the water system in this area is densely covered, the Qin army did not need to dispatch a large number of warships to attack Chu, but the navy was to assist.

Compared with the Chu army, the Qin army is stronger in having several elite cavalry troops.After Qin destroyed Zhao Pingyan, it almost monopolized the northern horse source.The Qin State domesticated a large number of horses and established a cavalry army.

The hinterland of Chu State is mostly flat plains.The mobility advantage of the Qin cavalry army can be maximized.

"I understand."

Qin Wang raised his head, looked at Li Si, and asked.

"Where is Zhao Shuang at this time?"

"Mr. Hanyang has dealt with the matter of fiefdom, and will return to Xianyang soon to marry Lian, the daughter of Lord Changping."

"Is that so?"

With a smile on the corner of Qin Wang's mouth, he continued to play.

When Wang Jian returned to his mansion, he paced around in his study.

At this time, Wang Ben was away, and only his grandson Wang Li was left in the mansion.Seeing his grandfather like this, Wang Li was a little puzzled.

"Is grandfather worried that the king will not use you?"

Wang Jian smiled and didn't take it seriously.

"There's nothing to worry about. Both Zhao and Wei were destroyed by my Wang family. This huge contribution is enough to shade the descendants."

The merits of Wang Jian and Wang Ben at this time are enough to be named Marquis. Since they are extremely human ministers, they naturally don't have to compete with others for the achievement of destroying the country.

"Then what is grandfather worrying about?"

"I was just thinking, at this critical time, why is Lord Hanyang not in Guanzhong?"

Wang Li looked at his grandfather a little strangely.Isn't it normal for Lord Hanyang to deal with his fief affairs?Besides, Feng Jun doesn't have to stay in Xianyang all the time.

Of course, there are also many lords who are greedy for the prosperity of the royal capital, unwilling to return to their fiefs, and desperately want to buy houses and land in Xianyang.

Faced with Wang Li's doubts, Wang Jian obviously had no intention of explaining.After Wang Li saw the ceremony, he withdrew.

"What is Zhao Shuang's idea?"
