Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 264 Take the Hedong First, Borrowing the Power of Weidi! (first update)
This court meeting must be a protracted torment.

After all, everyone knows that this court meeting will determine the future fate of the Great Qin Empire.No one dared to underestimate it, and no one dared to speak easily.

Each of them returned to the mansion to rest with their own thoughts and ideas.Everyone is physically and mentally exhausted after intense discussion and analysis.

Hu Hai knew that none of the ministers of the Great Qin Empire could fall down easily, because if they fell down, someone might not be able to rise up in time.

Among the eight counties in Guanzhong, there may be hidden wizards of the world.But Qin Emperor Hu Hai didn't dare to gamble. He believed that in troubled times, it would be safer to be an experienced minister.

……

Above the main hall of Xianyang Palace, there were fierce debates during the discussion of politics, and in order to be correct and incisive, everyone's brains were running at high speed.

From early in the morning, no matter whether it was Qin Emperor Ying Fei or Wei Yu from the General Administration of the City Guards, everyone's spirits were tense.

At this time, it must not continue.Otherwise, it would be bad news waiting for the Great Qin Empire. It was precisely because of this concern that Hu Hai had to suspend the court meeting.

People are not machines. Once they are in a state of tension for a long time, or when they are excited, mistakes will easily occur.

As for the current situation of the Great Qin Empire, just one crusade against the Wei State requires the power of the whole country.Therefore, the Great Qin Empire has no right to make mistakes at all.

Everything must be done with caution!
……

Early the next morning, Qin Emperor Hu Hai came to the main hall early, and the officials of the Great Qin Empire also came very early.

After the monarchs and ministers saw the ceremony, the atmosphere above the hall became tense again.They all know that the next decision is the top priority.

There was silence in the hall, and all the civil and military officials were silent without opening their mouths. They focused their eyes on Hu Hai, and the hall was a little oppressive.

This state is equivalent to the fact that the civil and military officials recognized Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin Dynasty.Now all civil and military officials are waiting for Hu Hai to speak to set the most basic tone.

After a pause in his eyes, Hu Hai waved his hand: "Today we discuss the strategy of sending troops to Wei, and you can speak freely without any consideration!"

"The strategy for attacking Wei is to take Hedong first." As a captain, Wei Liao has been standing on the lower left of the emperor's case, above the officials.Due to his experience and ups and downs, he could clearly see the thoughts of everyone in the hall: "The difficulty of attacking Wei is not only the resistance of the whole country of Wei, but also the establishment of the confidence of Qin's army going east."

"The Great Qin Empire forcibly unified the world by force, aiming to make China uniform. But China is vast and difficult to rule, and the hatred between Wei and Great Qin has been around for a long time."

"Striving for that battle song is like a hundred years of national hatred, and the sea is hard to level. Later, the Great Qin Empire swept the world and annexed the Wei State, which means that the enmity between Qin and Wei has not diminished but increased."

"When the Great Qin Empire went east to Wei State, the first place was Hedong County. This is the only thought of the Wei State's subjects. Moreover, the mountains and rivers are steep, and there are many barriers. It is difficult to march, and it is even more difficult to rule uniformly."

"Therefore, the advantage of going down to Hedong County first is not only to attack the fortresses first and force the weak to self-destruct with strong strength, but also to gain the first opportunity for effective governance of the people."

"Hedong County is located in the Central Plains, and it is extremely prosperous, not only Anyi, Daliang, etc. If our army breaks through Hedong County in the first place, we can gain the population and resources of Hedong County."

"In this way, the crisis of military sources, food and grass will be greatly reduced. Therefore, there is great potential for a unified world!"

……

All of a sudden, the main hall became quieter. This was a kind of silence that contained surprise and astonishment.Everyone knows that Wei Liao is a master of the art of war, a great strategist who designed a unified strategy for the first emperor.

However, today's Wei Liao's theory does not discuss the destruction of Wei from the military point of view, but raises a big topic that the officials have never thought about, at least not consciously.

The capture of Hedong County has unique significance to the Great Qin Empire, and this unique significance must be achieved through military struggles.

For most of the civil servants, Chen Ping and others are very busy, and most of the thinking about the war starts from the battlefield itself. This is undoubtedly a perspective that is easily overlooked.

As Tai Wei Wei Liao's voice fell, Hu Hai, who was above the emperor's case, was already nodding his head slightly when he raised the palace civil and military thoughtful.

Because what Wei Liao said is true, in Hedong County, whether it is Anyi or Daliang, they are the core of Weidi, not only in terms of politics and economy, but also in terms of military culture.

Daliang is the largest city in Weidi, and it is far away from Anyi on the north bank of the Dahe River.As the former capital of the Wei State, the scale of the city and the momentum of the market in Daliang are much larger than that of Anyi.

Moreover, in terms of convenient location, Daliang is located in a fertile plain, bordering the Yellow River in the north, Fengze Lake in the south, and extending in all directions by water and land, and it has become the largest distribution center for materials in the Central Plains.

Especially since Marquis Wen of Wei used Li Kui's reform method, tried his best to teach and develop farming on the south bank of the Yellow River.

With the prosperity of farming, craftsmen and merchants also came here, and Daliang has flourished into a water and land metropolis in more than 100 years. It has rebuilt a big city, gathered businesses and shops.

Daliang's literary style flourished, private schools sprang up, and it became the center of civilization in the Central Plains.And Anyi is located at the confluence of the Yellow River and the Fen River, with developed farming and a solid city.

In addition, at the beginning of the Wei State, Anyi and Daliang were successively capitals, so naturally the influence on Hedong County was enormous and far-reaching.

"The Taiwei's words hit the core!" Amidst the silence, General Wang Ben stood up and said loudly, "The soul of Wei has always been in Hedong County. Only by breaking through Hedong County can our Great Qin Empire win the support of the people of Wei." As a source of troops, we can get Wei's grain as our luggage."

"The people, wealth, and military power of the Wei State are all in the Hedong County. The so-called Shangdang County and the so-called Taiyuan County are all from the land of Zhao. Although Zhao Wei is one of the three Jins, they have long been strangers, and there is no gathered army. Power."

"Now, as long as our army goes down to Hedong County. According to the order at that time, there is no rule, and our army is enough to sweep Taiyuan County and Shangdang County in a short time."

"As the order dictates, we must rule!" Hu Hai laughed loudly: "What the general said is good——"

……

Who will be the general of the Qin army going east?
Can the Great Qin Empire support a protracted war?

Are the old Qin people still fearless of death, willing to die for the Ying family and kill the enemy for the Great Qin?
When the Qin army left Hangu Pass in the east, should they take Hedong County first or attack Sanchuan County first?

……

Hu Hai's eyes were deep, he knew the questions on the bamboo slips, and he had answered the most important ones one by one.

Now that the Great Qin Empire is going east, it is enough to decide whether the generals leading the army and the old Qin people are still brave enough to die for the Ying family and kill the enemy for the Great Qin.
