Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 281 The World is One and the Hero Returns ([-])

"You have come back from Shandong, and you are very tired. It is reasonable that I should let you rest for a while before I talk to you about business. However, I am anxious, so I will work hard on you again. Let me talk about the business first. After finishing the business, I will talk to you again. Let's have fun together with you." King Qin chuckled and said, "Is the widow in a hurry?"

Gan Luo took over the conversation and said, "Your Majesty, are you impatient? We are in a hurry. We are on the way. Do you know what Mr. Zhou and the others said?"

"Oh, tell me quickly, what did Mr. Zhou say?" Qin Wang's interest increased greatly.

Gan Luo continued: "What Mr. Zhou said is that you must ask the king to make an action plan early, otherwise you will not even eat."

"Mr. Zhou, is that true?" King Qin asked with a smile.

Zhou Chong admitted: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong has said this. Five of the six kingdoms in Shandong have been destroyed, and only the Chu Kingdom remains. If it is not necessary for time to appease the land of Shandong, Chu Kingdom should be destroyed within a year. Now that Shandong has been stabilized, it is a good opportunity to destroy Chu. When will Chu not be destroyed at this time? Once Chu is destroyed, the world will be unified, and the king will make achievements that the three kings and five emperors have never done. It is really a major event since the beginning of the world , Zhou Chong had the honor to participate in the grand event, and I am really excited."

The unification war launched by Qin Shihuang was a turning point in Chinese history. Since then, China has entered the era of centralized power from the enfeoffment system with limited central power, creating a unified pattern in China. Even today, we still live in the unified pattern created by Qin Shihuang.Zhou Chong knew the great significance of this war, so he naturally tried his best to promote it.As long as the state of Chu is destroyed, the great cause of reunification will be realized, and anyone will be excited.

Although Han Fei, Wei Liao, and the others did not have a deep understanding of the great significance of this war, they knew the importance of the unification of the world, and the unification of the world was only a step away from the state of Chu. They were as excited as Zhou Chong, and they all agreed , said: "Mr. Zhou's words are reasonable, and what Mr. Zhou said is exactly what we think. Your Majesty, let's make a big plan early."

The King of Qin glanced at everyone, stood up suddenly, took a few steps happily, and said: "Well said, well said! You think so, why don't you think so? Mr. Zhou said that he even eats rice." Not sweet, in fact, when I think that the five kingdoms will be destroyed, and the only Chu country is floating outside, I can’t even sleep. I often wake up in the middle of the night and think whether the Chu country should be destroyed? If the Chu country is destroyed, the world will be unified. That would be great. We thought of going together, and I will stop talking about those beautiful nonsense, and just listen to your ingenious schemes. If you want to fix the south, you must stabilize the north. General Li Mu will talk about it first."

To determine the south, the north must be stabilized. It is precisely because of the importance of the north that the King of Qin called back Li Mu and Wang Ben this time, but he did not call Meng Tian back to Xianyang. Instead, he asked him to sit in the north and wait. About Li Mu.

Li Mu knew that today's business plan would be famous forever, so he was not polite, and said directly: "If the north is not stable, it will be difficult to achieve success in the south. Li Mu knows that the responsibility is heavy, and he dare not slack off in the slightest. It is a blessing to God , the king is mighty, and the north can still be safe."

The King of Qin agreed: "General Li Mu has made great contributions to the stability of the north. Under the general's command, the three armies have used their lives. The barbarians dare not invade the border. I am very comforted."

Wang Ben revealed an astonishing news, saying: "Your Majesty does not know that General Li is planning an attack. It is estimated that when your Majesty settles down the south, we will march to the land of Hetao and go down to Hetao with a drum. Come and sing the North and the South."

"That's good!" King Qin clapped his hands together, and said, "The land of Hetao is China's confidant's trouble. Starting from here, within a few days, the Huns cavalry can drink the Mawei River. It's just that the south is still uncertain, and the widow will bear it again and again." The widow has been thinking that as long as the south is a little more stable, the widow will be free to regain the land of Hetao and completely solve this confidant's trouble. If General Li can take the land of Hetao when the widow pacifies the south, it will be a great contribution. Not only for the Great Qin Kingdom, but also for the Huaxia Kingdom."

After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms back then, he did not hesitate to send troops to the land of Hetao to regain the land of Hetao, which was actually considered strategically.There is a saying that "the Yellow River has nine bends, and there is only one set", which means that the land of Hetao is the most fertile place in the Yellow River Basin. The Huns occupy here, and they can go straight to the Guanzhong to the west, and go straight to the Central Plains to the east. Said to be in a strategically disadvantaged position.

It was from this point of view that Qin Shihuang decisively sent troops to capture the land of Hetao, fundamentally eliminating this threat and revitalizing the entire strategy.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and spent a lot of energy in order to regain this place. Finally, he used Wei Qing's cavalry corps to attack thousands of miles and succeeded. This changed the entire strategic situation in one fell swoop, from passive to active, and laid a solid foundation for the decisive battle in Mobei. Foundation.

Qin Shihuang's recovery of the land of Hetao was a great good deed for China, which put China in a very favorable strategic position. However, his move was ridiculed by later generations, especially those scholars who scolded him for nothing. is ridiculous.These scholars have a way of cursing people, but they didn't think of a problem: the northern problem that has plagued China for thousands of years, those nomadic peoples on the grasslands often use Hetao as a base to invade the Central Plains.

Knowing the significance of recovering Hetao, Zhou Chong further guided: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thought that if Hetao was recovered, he should build a city here and establish a permanent strategic base. The land of Hetao is fertile and beautiful, and it is the place where the Huns raised horses. Daqin can also set up a horse farm here, raise horses, and lay the foundation for the formation of a large-scale cavalry."

King Qin's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands heavily, and said: "Well said! Let's do it this way. I will build a huge city here as a strategic barrier to the north."

In history, Li Si was opposed to sending troops to the north. When history repeats, he still opposes it. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the land of Hetao is important, if you build a city and station a large number of troops in the bitter cold land in the north, I am afraid Soldiers are impatient with the cold in the north and are afraid of accidents. Besides, building a city in a barren land will take a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, please think twice, Your Majesty."

Zhou Chong chuckled and asked: "Zhou Chong has something unclear, please ask Mr. Li. What Mr. Li said is an inevitable difficulty, but has Mr. Li ever thought that without this strategic barrier, what would Daqin do to resist the barbarians?" ? This is a strategic base, and it must be done no matter how difficult it is. Your Majesty, according to Zhou Chongzhi, after the world is unified, the Qin army should send the northerners to the south, and the southerners to the north. They will also get used to the climate in various places, which will be of great benefit to Daqin."

The King of Qin agreed: "That's a good idea, let's do it this way. Li Si, although your worries are justified, but strategic things have to be repaired. No matter how hard and tiring, and the difficulties are ten times greater, this city must be repaired. If the widow cannot establish a stable northern base for future generations, the widow will be a sinner through the ages!"
