Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 303 The World Returns to Zhang Liang ([-])

Zhou Chong also understood the situation in front of him. No one except him knew how harmful the Huns were. What's more, now that Qin had the upper hand and had just regained the land of Hetao, it was not so difficult to persuade King Qin to march into the heart of the Huns. We can only talk about it in the future, and then said: "The king is sage, Zhou Chong is ashamed for not thinking about it."

The King of Qin shook his hand and said: "Mr. Zhou's concern is that the foundation of the eternal life is not a temporary benefit. If the Huns continue to harass him repeatedly, I will have to do it as a last resort to completely solve the Xiongnu problem."

Hearing this, Zhou Chong was even more depressed, because throughout Qin Shihuang's life, the Xiongnu did not dare to violate the border. I am afraid that there is really no hope for a complete solution to the Xiongnu's problem. The reason is that the navy did not get the chance to actually fight, and the navy should be given more opportunities in future wars.”

Everyone knows that Zheng Guo went to the Western Seas and established a powerful navy, which was later abandoned, which became a great pity in China's military history.In fact, this also has its inevitability, because China is a traditional continental country, and the role and necessity of the navy are naturally inferior to that of the army.In addition, in ancient times, China did not have too many rights and interests in the ocean. More importantly, the biggest threat in the past dynasties came from the northern prairie instead of the ocean. Under such circumstances, the Ming Dynasty finally chose to abandon the navy. It is reasonable to strengthen the army and strengthen the northern armaments.

Zhou Chong, a modern person, naturally understands the importance of the navy, so he seized the opportunity of the Baiyue Battle where the navy was necessary to participate in the battle, and made this statement in order to develop a powerful navy.

Sure enough, the King of Qin agreed very much when he heard this, and said: "Mr. Zhou's words are very reasonable. Although I have built a navy, the navy has never had a chance to actually fight. Originally, I wanted to join the navy in the first battle against Chu, so that the navy can get real combat opportunities." Opportunity, I didn’t expect that the Chu State would be taken without bloodshed by Ovary’s trick. It seems that only by calming down Baiyue can the navy get its first chance in actual combat.”

Wei Liao nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, the navy is not built to watch, but to have the opportunity to actually fight. It is an inevitable choice to put down Baiyue and join the navy."

Han Fei stammered, "Han Fei also sees it the same way."

"You all look at it this way, it seems that Mr. Zhou's discussion is right." Qin Wang changed the subject and said: "I invite you here to discuss the pacification of Baiyue. I believe that Qin will win the battle of Baiyue. The main reason is that firstly, there are two routes of Wuling passage and waterway to enter Lingnan, and this logistical supply is not a problem; secondly, the equipment of the Daqin army is not comparable to that of the Lingnan natives. , Daqin is sure to win.

"However, don't take it lightly. Don't think that Lingnan is vulnerable. The main difficulty we face is that Lingnan's climate and geographical environment are completely different from those of the Central Plains, and the way of fighting is also different. This is the first time in Chinese history that Lingnan is used. , can be said to be hollowed out, and the difficulty is naturally greater.

"But it doesn't mean it's invincible. From my point of view, as long as you choose a good general and play the right way, Lingnan can be pacified within a year or two. Who do you think is the right one to be in command?"

Han Fei stammered, "Your Majesty, in Han Fei's opinion, the pacification of Baiyue is not only about winning military victories, but also about appeasing the natives and appeasing the hearts of the people. Mr. Zhou is proficient in strategy and good at governing the people. Mr. Zhou is the most suitable."

Zhou Chong's ability in military and political affairs has been recognized by everyone, he is the best candidate, and everyone agrees, even Li Si, who has always been jealous of Zhou Chong, agrees.

Qin Shihuang's march into Lingnan was a historic march. He opened up the land of Lingnan and made important contributions to Chinese history. It would be an exciting thing to be the supreme commander of this march. Zhou Chong took a look. Zhang Liang, who was nodding his head, a thought flashed through his mind, and said: "My lord, Zhou Chong is not talented, and Zhou Chong is very grateful to be appreciated by the king. Marching into Lingnan, Zhou Chong wished, but Zhou Chong I think that the most suitable candidate is not Zhou Chong, but someone else."

"Which capable person?" King Qin was very interested.

Zhou Chong said: "Zhou Chong thinks the ovary is the most suitable."

"Me?" Zhang Liang never thought that Zhou Chong would recommend him, he was very surprised and said, "No, no, absolutely not."

Zhou Chong continued: "Your Majesty, Zifang has traveled to Lingnan, and he is more familiar with the situation in Lingnan than Zhou Chong. "Sun Tzu" says, "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles". Yes, once the ovary came out and the state of Chu was destroyed, and the ovary was located in Shouchun, Jianghuai'an, it would be better to use the ovary instead of using Zhou Chong."

Zhang Liangzhi's talent has been recognized, King Qin nodded and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense. According to my opinion, the two of you will lead the army into Lingnan together."

Zhou Chong declined and said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong is not talented, and it is a blessing to be appreciated by the King. The pommel horse has been working hard for several years, and it is very difficult. Zhou Chong first wanted to take a rest, and second, he thought that the prosperity of the Great Qin Dynasty was not due to several Talents, but a group of talents, the pacification of Baiyue will be the last battle, and a group of talents should be tempered, this is the way to long-term stability."

If you do not march to the heartland of the Huns, this battle is indeed the last one. Zhou Chong did not give up his plan to persuade King Qin to march to the prairie. If he really wants to march to the prairie, what he needs most is talents. It is much easier for a general who has been tested in actual combat to enter the prairie.In addition, Zhang Liang lived in the same age as Maodun. If Zhang Liang became the pillar, even if Maodun unified the prairie, there is no need to be afraid. Really mean.

These words made sense, King Qin didn't answer right away, and said: "What Mr. Zhou said, I haven't thought about it yet. Mr. Zhou's words are very reasonable. It's a good idea to calm down Baiyue this time and recruit a group of newcomers. My widow Look, this time to pacify Baiyue, Wang Jianmeng, Wu Nei and Shi Teng will not participate in the battle, let Zhang Han, Tu Sui, and Suo Fang go. The commander, as Mr. Zhou said, will be Zifang."

Zhang Liang hastily declined and said: "Your Majesty, no, no, absolutely no! Zhang Liang is young and inexperienced, he may not be able to convince the crowd, he has no experience in commanding an army, and he may humiliate the king's teacher."

Qin Jun shook his hand and said: "Don't talk too much about the ovary. The ovary is known to everyone, and you haven't done Jianchu, right? You haven't done it beautifully, so that's the way it is. The task given to you by the widow is Two, one is to pacify Baiyue, and the other is to bring out a group of young generals who can recruit and fight well, and Zifang has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders."

Zhang Liang thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Zhang Liang will never disgrace the king's order!"

"Okay! In the matter of Lingnan, I don't want to interfere too much. You can go ahead and fight." King Qin said boldly.
