Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 284 The World is One and the Hero Returns ([-])

The King of Qin sighed: "Mr. Zhou always plans things from the perspective of the future, and considers fundamentally. It is rare and rare! Mr. Zhou continued."

Zhou Chong, a modern person, naturally knows the reasons for the fall of the fascinating Qin Dynasty, and also knows the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese history. In the future, Qin Wang's sentence can be regarded as a pertinent comment from the perspective of thousands of generations.

"The Kingdom of Chu was first established in the land of Jingxiang, and gradually developed from south to west to east, and finally devoted its main energy to developing north and competing with the countries in the Central Plains." Zhou Chong began to express his views, saying: "The Kingdom of Chu Concentrating on developing to the north and competing for hegemony with other countries, although this restricts Chu’s development to the south, especially Chu’s advance to the south of the Lingnan, if Chu first develops the south of the Lingnan and then goes north to fight for hegemony, the situation may be different.”

The King of Qin interrupted Zhou Chong, clapped his hands and praised: "Chu State is a bit short-sighted, and it is far behind my Great Qin. Our Great Qin has spent hundreds of years annexing Xirong, until Xirong has become my Great Qin's people. Only then did they concentrate on developing eastward and competing with other countries for hegemony. However, Chu State is different. The land in the south of the Lingnan is rich and the people in the south of the Lingnan are available. In the matter of asking about the mountains, I concentrated my energy on going north and competing for hegemony with other countries. I made a mistake for a while. King Wen of Chu, King Cheng of Chu, King Zhuang of Chu, these wise kings of Chu State, strongly advocated going north. Although they achieved some success, the people of the country congratulated them , it is really unwise in the long run. What Mr. Zhou said is a witty remark, and everyone agrees with it."

Taking a long-term view has always been the excellent quality of King Qin, and this excellent quality has been well reflected again.If the state of Chu concentrates on developing to the ground, like Qin State did in the past, annexing the land of Lingnan, then the state of Chu will be stronger, and even a hero like Qin Shihuang will be afraid to face such an opponent.

"The king is a sage!" Everyone had to admire King Qin's strategic vision.

Zhou Chong continued: "What the king said is very reasonable. Zhou Chong also believes that Chu's northward struggle for hegemony is a failed strategic decision. However, this also has a positive result, that is, Chu's sense of identity with the civilization of the Central Plains is greatly improved. Ascension, the difficulty for the king to destroy Chu will be much less.

"The state of Chu is known as a country of five thousand miles, and it has always been strong. All the countries in the Central Plains are terrified when facing Chu. Even more arrogant. It was not until the battle of Jin Wengong's city of Pu that the momentum of Chu's northward advance was slightly restrained.

"Until the Great Qin entered the east, Bai Qi attacked Yingdu in one fell swoop, and burned down the tombs of the monarchs of the Chu Kingdom. Since then, the Chu Kingdom has declined and never recovered. In the face of the Great Qin's military might, the arrogant Chu Kingdom also humbled its proud The head had to be moved eastward many times until Shouchun, the capital of Dingdu.

"From Zhou Chongzhi's point of view, the land of Jingxiang is an important place that Chu State has managed for more than a thousand years. It has fertile land and a large population. It is one of the two fundamental important places of Chu State. After losing the capital of Ying, the capital was established here. Therefore, Zhou Chong thought that this time to destroy Chu, the army should be divided into two groups, all the way to Jingxiang, and all the way to take Shouchun. Losing these two strategic centers, Chu is powerless. "

Wang Jian was the first to express his agreement, saying: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zhou said is very reasonable, and I think it is a well-thought-out strategy. I also think that if Chu State loses the land of Jingxiang and Jianghuai, Chu State will no longer be Chu State. Yes. Now the West Chu is based on Jingchu, and the East and West are based on the Jianghuai area. The two factions are invincible. It’s easy to handle, maybe we can break through without a fight.”

"Yes, yes! What Mr. Zhou said is very true, and we have no objection." Meng Wu and the others agreed.

King Qin chuckled, and said, "Mr. Zhou can always speak the minds of everyone. I guess Mr. Liaozi and Han Fei have no objections, right? Are you right?"

Wei Liao and Han Fei said together: "My lord, I think so too."

Zhou Chong continued: "There are many canals and rivers in the Jianghuai area, which is convenient for sailing. In Zhou Chong's opinion, the navy should also be invested. One can support the army from the waterway, and the other can experience the navy."

The king of Qin slammed his hands together, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou's words are exactly what I think. It is imperative to join the navy. Since the establishment of the navy, it has not experienced actual combat, and it is not clear what problems there are. Let's test it in a battle. It’s also good. Suo Fang, you have two tasks, one is to fight against Chu’s navy and defeat them. The other is to support the army, can you do it?”

Suo Fangteng stood up and said: "Go back to the king, no problem, I promise to complete the task."

"Sit down, sit down!" Qin Wang beckoned Suo Fang to sit down, and said: "With your words, I can rest assured that this time, Chu will be destroyed by land and water. If you have any suggestions, please tell me. What, Are you gone? You are gone. I still have a few questions. Mr. Zhou proposed that the navy join the war. The purpose is to test the navy and prepare for the future march into Lingnan. The destruction of Chu and the march into Lingnan are one and the same. Once Chu’s army is destroyed, it will immediately enter Lingnan , so the widow asks you to make preparations to enter Lingnan in addition to completing the extermination of Chu. Is there a problem?"

Marching into Lingnan is already a certainty, and everyone has no objection.

The King of Qin paced back and forth, saying: "The last question I have is to choose a commander for the army. Who do you think is suitable to be the commander? I decided that Wang Jian of the West Route Army will be the leader, Meng Wu will be the deputy, and go straight to Jingxiang. The Eastern Route Army is dominated by Mr. Zhou, with Nei Shiteng as the deputy, and goes straight to Shouchun. The actions of the two armies in Chu State are all dispatched by Mr. Zhou. You must obey Mr. Zhou's orders. Mr. Zhou's orders, It is the widow's will."

Wang Jian Meng Wu Nei Shi Teng took the order and said: "I obey the king's order."

Zhou Chong commanded the entire operation to destroy Chu, and there were several 10 horses. Zhou Chong never thought of it in his dreams. Your Majesty, please choose another worthy person."

King Qin vetoed: "Mr. Zhou, you don't have to be too modest. It is well thought out for you to command the army. First, you have a good reputation in Chu State. If you lead the army, you can get the support of the army and people of Chu State. Second, you are in charge of Shandong. Benevolent government, praised by the people, Mr. Zhou led the army into Chu, not only can destroy the state of Chu, but also calm down the hearts of the people. In my opinion, who can clean up the hearts of the people of Chu in a short period of time, but Mr. Zhou?"
