The start time of Daqin is reversed by 30 seconds

In addition, the most important thing appeared, how to destroy Yan, whether to destroy its foundation, or just destroy the ancestral temple, it sounds like nothing, but the difference is very big.

Afterwards, the envoy of Yanmen Pass shuttled back to Xianyang on a fast horse, and explained in detail Yan's murder of Qin, as well as witness and material evidence.

The main hall of Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng frowned. A few days ago, Yanmen won a big victory. Su Jie and Li Mu defeated one hundred thousand tribal troops one after another, and the government and the people were excited.

No one dared to say that Li Mu didn't say anything.

But no one expected that the news that came back after a few days would be so chilling.

Zhang Han and others pleaded for orders to destroy Yan for revenge.

Today's Qin State has no shortage of food, and there is no need to worry. Chu State and Qi State sent troops to attack, but Yan State dared to take Qin State's tiger's beard against the displeasure of the world.

Of course, Ying Zheng was angry on the surface.

In fact, he was secretly overjoyed. Previously, he had no choice but to form an alliance with Yan, and the two countries both smiled and stabbed in the back. I mean, Su Jie had told him long ago that the barbarians in the north attacked Qin and Yan.

Unexpectedly, Qin Guo directly took advantage of him. If he didn't kill him, then he wouldn't be Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng's eyes were tightly locked on the bamboo slips in his hand, thinking deeply about the benefits and harms stated in the silk scroll.

The officials did not dare to make a sound.

Ying Zheng said in a cold voice: "Yan State is an old prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty with a foundation of 800 years. Yan State used Zhao State's strength to fight against Qin State, and Zhao State used Zhao State as a barrier to Shandong. The barbarian Qin State in the eyes of the princes? Where is Wang Jian?"

Wang Jian walked out from the ranks of generals.

Now, in the entire state of Qin, except for the general Su Jie, only Wang Jian is the general, and the rest of the generals are all inferior.

"Minister, here!!"

Wang Jian's majestic voice filled the hall with a murderous aura.

Ying Zheng said, "From the general's point of view, how should the national policy be determined for the battle to destroy Yan?"

Ying Zheng's words have undoubtedly set the tone, that is to fight, that is to destroy them.

Without hesitation, Wang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Yan State has always been poor and reserved, faint and crazy. Saying this, I deeply agree with it, from what I have seen, at this moment, the Qin State is more powerful than the world, let alone relax the fighting spirit of the people of the country, I am willing to lead the army to destroy the Yan State!"

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

He murmured: "What the general said is very suitable for the widow! However, the choice of the general is not for the widow to decide, but for the Tai Tuo!"

a time.

Zhang Han, Zhao Ping, Zhao Tuo, Wang Ben and others asked for their orders one after another.

Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Before the selection of this general, the Taifu has a question, and I asked the widow to convey it on my behalf. Whoever is right will be the general of this war of destroying the country."

All the generals said one after another: "Your Majesty, please ask."

Ying Zheng stood up and walked slowly to the table.

Spreading out the slip of paper, he asked: "For the attack on the Yan Kingdom this time, do you think it is enough to attack the city without destroying the enemy's country, or to defeat the Yan army without completely annihilating the Yan army?"

At first glance.

For them, this question is actually easy to answer.

Zhang Han thought for a while, and said first: "Your Majesty, I believe that the general's question must have a deep meaning, and his meaning must be about the interests of the Qin State's follow-up state policy. Only by calling it the interests can we warn you."

Zhang Han's words.

Undoubtedly let everyone understand.

It is impossible for Tai Tu to ask such a question for no reason, it must be to let everyone know something.

Ying Zheng said with interest: "General Zhang, but it's okay to say."

Zhang Han said: "Previously, all wars between countries, including Qin, had the mission of destroying the foundation of the enemy's country. It is said that General Sima Cuo broke the six kingdoms, burned the world's largest granary, Ao Cang, and attacked Chu in vain. Volcanic Liling, Le Yi broke Qi, plundered its property, etc., all of which were the focus of the Warring States War. From the point of view of warfare, doing so was beneficial. , just like the Battle of Handan, you should be familiar with it."

All the ministers nodded.

It is a fact that Bai Qi and Wang He did not take down Handan.

why.

The people in Handan have contributed a lot. The Qin State destroyed the foundation of Zhao, pitted people, killed the people, and destroyed the fields. In the eyes of the Zhao people, they did all kinds of evil. Cutting off their food and destroying their temples did deal an irreparable blow to the Zhao State. But the same anger and grievances made Zhao Minyi refuse to surrender.

Zhang Han continued: "The general's first question must be to say that today's Qin State will definitely be able to rule the world, and the people who are attacking the land occupied by the mere Yan State will actually be in the same country as me in the future. Such people, so naturally cannot burn, kill and loot without any scruples, destroying its foundation, otherwise, it will plant disasters for the great Qin in the future. However, the harm is that once this is done, Qin must change this method of warfare , means to re-establish the military law to realize this transformation from plundering to destroying the country, which is difficult, of course!"

There are smart people in the court.

Yan Guo is too old.

No princely country is as old as him.

In history, where the most fierce rebellion against Qin was, it was the border of Yan.

This is the hidden danger.

Otherwise, how can it be destroyed in the second generation.

Wang Jian suddenly said: "The general has the heart of the world, which has surpassed Sima Cuo and Bai Qi of the previous generation, and the last general already understands the heart of the grand master."

Wang Jian's words, all courts agree.

Now the state of Qin is no longer a siege of Bai Qi and Sima Cuo's morale, but a battle of annihilation to unify the world!In simple words, this is the long-term strategy that Qin is about to face.

Chapter 715 The State of Qin and the State of Yan Conspire and Then Move (Two in One)

Yingzheng admired it in his heart, looked at Zhang Han and other young generals who spoke enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "You don't stick to your long-term strategy, I am sincerely happy for you!"

Yingzheng paused for a while, and then asked: "Then if I conquer the Yan Kingdom this time, that is what the Grand Tutor asked, should we, Daqin, defeat the enemy army, or do we not need to completely wipe out the enemy army? You just say it's okay, Wang Wan, you You can also talk about it."

On the generals' side, Ying Zheng was relieved by their ideological consciousness.

If according to the past, the state of Qi stood side by side, the strong and the weak looked around, but the current situation is very different from the past.

There are only four countries left in the world.

Qin Guo also didn't want to see an enemy country with incomparable cohesion like Zhao Guo.

Wang Wan thought for a while, and then said: "My lord, Qin is a country of farming and warfare, and it has been based on beheading and recording merits for more than a hundred years. It strongly emphasizes that the Qin State's tactics are a complete and thorough battle of beheading and annihilation. In the Changping War, Bai Qi's army destroyed more than [-] Zhao troops in one fell swoop, and captured more than [-] people. Hidden in this brutal method of annihilating the enemy army, I believe that today's Qin army can no longer be like this, and there is only one reason."

Ying Zheng said, "What reason?"

Wang Wan continued: "All the soldiers and soldiers of the warring countries will be the subjects of Qin, and they will be valuable manpower for the future unification of the great country. Killing willlessly will only be counterproductive. Not only will it leave endless troubles for the future unification of the great country, even if After the reunification, what kind of harm this kind of scourge will bring to the unified state of Qin is beyond our expectation today. The army, if it is to change, it is extremely difficult, and this balance cannot be decided in a day, and the general's two questions, the deep meaning must be to be alert to the court, and to plan for a rainy day."

Wang Wan's words.

Undoubtedly, it has won the approval of most people at the same time.

Wang Jian's expression brightened suddenly, and he took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I know what to do, and I know the general's intentions. If this can be done, our Daqin will be able to expand the territory again without spending a single soldier." pawn."

Ying Zheng's expression brightened immediately, and the court was in an uproar, saying: "General, tell me quickly."

Wang Jian said: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there have been frequent wars among various countries. Before the war, 800% of them will consider various factors of this war to decide whether to go to war. If it is not good for our side, we should seek to avoid the war. However, it is very different from destroying a country. No matter whether the enemy country is easy to fight or not, no matter whether it can resist, this battle must be fought. The same is true for Qin. If the resistance of the enemy country cannot be destroyed, otherwise, the enemy country will not surrender by itself. It has never happened in ancient times to destroy a country without a war. In the [-] years of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, there have been more than a hundred kingdoms, and it is even more impossible for them to destroy a country without a war."

Zhang Han, Zhao Tuo and others also nodded.

This is true.

Even if Chen Guo, which was the size of a bullet in the past, faced such a huge Chu country, he would always fight.

But if you change the method, Chu State may not attack Chen State because it wants to destroy you, and Chen Guowei will resist it to the death?

This is the trade-off before the war.

Wang Jian went on to say: "The art of war says, 'Soldiers that subdue the enemy without fighting will be superior'. However, this method of war can only be realized in local wars where warring states confront each other. Suppressing the border with strong troops, forcing the other party to dare not fight a war and cede territory to seek peace, etc. However, it is actually not feasible to put it in a war of annihilation, that is to say, to destroy a country and try to give up the last resistance Since ancient times, there has been no precedent. Since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, there is no one who can rule the world without fighting. Then, if the king wants to use troops against the Yan Kingdom, is it a war to destroy the country or a war to crusade against injustice? If it is the former, there is no way You can choose the road, if it is the latter, you can force the Yan Kingdom to cede land and ask for surrender, Your Majesty thinks."

The court hall of Qin Kingdom was suddenly quiet.

Silent.

It was only at this time that everyone realized the long-term strategy of Su Jie.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng opened the letter in his hand again, clapped his hands repeatedly, and said hello three times.

Let the officials bewildered.

Suddenly, Xiong Qi said: "General Wang, as you said, Qin State can indeed force Yan State to cede land in the name of crusade against injustice. The general must be trying to seize the Yishui Fortress and Dukang Granary of Yan State. But whether Yan State will agree or not, let’s not talk about it. I, Qin State, attacked Yan State, this time in the name of crusade against the unrighteous behavior behind it. Even if Yan State agreed, Qin State won these two important places without a single soldier. However, isn’t Qin State going to destroy Yan State in the future? If at that time, what name does Qin State have to declare to the world to attack Yan State? Losing one of Yan State with two places, which is more important? "

Wang Jian frowned immediately.

Now that the state of Qin is already stronger than the rest of the world, it is impossible to attack other countries at will regardless of reputation.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Xia, Shang and Zhou Yiran, even though tricks were flying around, Su Jie would not dare to send troops to attack you suddenly.

Although the Three Jins and the Qin State were always at war, it was because the four countries had too many grievances, and they could be famous if they withdraw any one, but the Yan State was different.

Apart from frequent fights with Qi, Yan has no feud with Qin.

It can be said that Yan Guo was still fishing in the East China Sea when Duke Xiao was here!

Ying Zheng interjected: "Who says Qin has no reason? I, Qin, won Dukang Yishui, and you think it's over? There is still a big drama waiting for Yan to come to your door. Taifu thinks about it, it's really incredible! It turns out that Taifu What I want is Jicheng."

"what???"

More than a hundred courtiers stared at Ying Zheng with wide eyes.

and also?

How can it be?

Wang Jian also found it incredible.

Ying Zheng solemnly kept another secret letter.

Immediately said: "The widow has decided to launch an unjust war crusade against the country of Yan, pass on the letter of the widow's state, and order the kingdom of Yan to separatist Yishui and Dukang, otherwise, the widow will destroy his ancestral temple to correct the world's audience. Commander Yan, the widow will be entrusted to Wang Jian, and you will transfer Yingchuan, Shangdang, Guanzhong, and an army of 20 to Yanmen Pass."

Seeing that Ying Zheng was already determined, the ministers naturally stopped talking.

In other words, the king still decided to force Yan to cede the territory.

"The king is wise!!!"

Wang Jian suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand? Why did the General want to take Jicheng? How did I get this name?"

In fact, the territory of Yan State still includes Liaoxi and Liaodong. Taking Jicheng, although not all the land of Yan State, is equivalent to destroying the country.

Unless the capital is moved.

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Forgive me for not being able to elaborate, but I ask General Wang, if General Wang wants to attack Jicheng, how many troops will he need?"

Wang Jian thought for a while, and said conservatively: "Yan State has the natural danger of Yishui, and the upper valley is an important place. If Chen Bing is here, it is impossible for our army of Qin State to take advantage of Qi State. We can only fight hard. It is difficult to reach Jicheng with 40 troops. "

Ying Zheng continued: "Then if the natural barriers Du Kang and Yi Shui belong to Qin, will it be easy to attack Jicheng?"

Wang Jian immediately said: "You can go straight to Huanglong! There is no other way."

Ying Zheng said: "How can a saint live under the roof for a long time? What will the National Assembly of Yan do?"

a time.

Man Chao suddenly thought soared.

In any case, it means that there is no barrier in Jicheng of Yan Kingdom.

If the Qin State does not take it, how can the Yan State dare to stay for a long time?

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the court.

Zhao Tuo, Zhang Han, and the others glanced at each other, unable to hide their astonishment: "The general's plan is unbelievable, really unbelievable!!!"

ten days later.

Yanmen Pass, the shogunate gathered generals, Su Jiechui sat at the head, holding the handwritten letter of King Qin Yingzheng in his hand, Li Mu, Meng Tian, ​​Zhao Changge, Wang Jian stood on the left and right, watching quietly.

Su Jie put the letter aside.

Wang Jian cupped his hands and said: "General, the government and the people have understood the intention of the General, and the King has already given the order. This time, the crusade against unrighteousness, how to deal with the Yan Kingdom, the King only said that there is a degree of control in the war, and the rest will be done by the General himself." The last general will wait for your order to act."

Su Jie smiled and said: "General Wang is the main general of this battle, and this Marquis will do some trivial things for you!"

Wang Jian was humble.

Su Jie then ordered: "Tomorrow morning, Wang Jian will be the general and Meng Tian will be the deputy general. You two will assemble Yanmen and Guanzhong to mobilize an army. The meritorious service is 40. Chen Bing will go up to thirty miles west of the valley."

The two stood up immediately, "The last general has orders!"

Su Jie went on to say: "Once my army moves, the people of Yan Kingdom will be panic-stricken, and they will send envoys to inherit and hand over my kingdom's book and the proclamation of the Marquis to the King of Yan. Forced to give up the land of Yannan and Yishui, such a great contribution belongs to you two."

Wang Jian and Meng Tian were overjoyed immediately.
