General Qin

At the celebration banquet.

Silk and bamboo orchestra, the music is leisurely.

Beautiful women, dancing and dancing.

The generals who participated in the banquet in the hall, from General Pi Qiang Li to the most ordinary school lieutenants and military marquises, were all fascinated by the sight, plus the delicious food and wine placed on the wooden table were free to enjoy. Everyone was so happy that they couldn't find the north.

The second and third sons have fought for two years, so they should enjoy it.

Compared with the bloody battles on the battlefield and the long-distance pursuit of thousands of miles, the singing and dancing in the Qin Palace is really like a fantasy in a dream, which makes people unable to extricate themselves.

Qin Wangzheng was even more delighted, and at this banquet, he announced the three-day feast for the world to celebrate Qin's victory in destroying Chu.

The so-called world big drink means that the whole world is celebrating together, and the world is drinking with joy.

There are regulations in the Qin law that it is forbidden for common people to drink in groups without reason. If more than three people gather to drink together, they will be fined.

Only when the king of Qin issued the order of Dajiu, the common people in Guizhou at the bottom of the state of Qin could get together with their relatives and friends legally, drink and talk together.

"King benevolent, benevolent to all people!"

All the generals thanked and praised Qin Wangzheng's kindness on the spot.

After that, the banquet was over, and the lieutenants, military officers and others in the lower ranks retreated one after another, and went back to their homes to enjoy the happy time after the war.

But Zhao Tuo, Wang Ben, Meng Wu, and even Li Xin and other high-ranking Qin generals, as well as Wei Liao, Yao Jia, Li Si and other military officials did not leave.

Because they received the order of Qin Wangzheng, after the banquet, there were other military affairs to discuss.

"Your Majesty really acted vigorously and resolutely. After the celebration banquet, there was no delay in discussing state affairs. From the looks of it, it seems that the next military plan is to be decided."

Zhao Tuo whispered in his heart.

The scene in front of him reminded him of the time when he returned from defeating Yan. It was also a military meeting held after the celebration banquet, and that time decided the next Qin State's plan to conquer Chu.

At that time, Lord Changping resigned and went east, while Li Xin patted his chest and uttered the heroic words of "If you believe in Chu, you only need 200,000 people".

It is the practice of a country to make a general policy at the meeting, and then carry out detailed planning and preparations based on this policy in the future. After all, it takes time to prepare for the transfer of food, grass and weapons, and the recruitment of soldiers.

According to Zhao Tuo's conjecture, after the Qin State destroyed Chu this time, it would launch another war of annihilation, at the soonest after the spring plowing, and they still had several months.

It stands to reason that Qin has destroyed the five kingdoms, leaving only Qi and Dai still unreconciled. There is no need for such a hasty military discussion, and it doesn't matter if it is a few days late.

"It should be to ask Wang Jian and Wei Liao for their opinions before they leave."

Zhao Tuo's eyes fell on Wucheng Hou Wangjian and Bang Weiweiliao on the opposite side.

Not surprisingly, after this banquet, Wang Jian will return to his hometown to retire and will no longer participate in military affairs.

As for Bang Wei Wei Liao, rumors had already spread that the king had allowed him to resign and go back to seclusion after the Qin Kingdom destroyed Chu.

Therefore, Qin Wangzheng probably wanted to take advantage of these two old ministers before they left, solicit their advice on the next war, so as not to repeat Li Xin's mistakes.

as expected.

After those school lieutenants and military marquises left, Qin Wangzheng immediately sat upright, his smile restrained, and his face turned solemn.

He sat on the main seat, and his majestic eyes scanned the people in the hall.

"The Marquis of Wucheng and the generals have brought Jingchu to an end for me, and I am very happy."

"However, the world has not yet been settled into one. Apart from my state of Qin, the Qi Dynasty still exists among the four seas. My wish to unify the world has not been realized, so Qin's great cause of conquest cannot be stopped for a moment!"

"Now that the generals and ministers are here, they should be able to plan for the widow after the destruction of Chu. Where will the widow's sword point?"

"Qi Dai He Xian?"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals looked at each other.

Although everyone had guesses in their hearts, when they really heard that the king said that there would be another war, the generals couldn't help being excited.

War means military exploits.

With military merit, you can get titles, land, and wealth.

Now the general trend of Qin's annexation of the world is irreversible. If you don't seize the last time to earn some military merits, you may have no chance in the future.

Qin Wangzheng's gaze swept over the excited faces of the generals, Wang Jian who was drinking, and Wei Liao who was silent, and finally fell on a particularly young face in the hall.

The corners of Qin Wangzheng's mouth turned up slightly, and he said, "Zhao Tuo, you are my good general of Qin, what do you think about this?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Because everyone guessed that Qin Wangzheng held a military meeting immediately after the celebration banquet, and he definitely wanted to ask Wang Jian and Wei Liao for their opinions while they were still alive.

Why did you ask Zhao Tuo first instead of asking the old minister at the beginning.

Are you not afraid of repeating what happened to Li Xin?

Wei Liao stroked his beard thoughtfully.

Wang Jian silently held up the wine cup to drink, his white beard was soaked by the wine, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As for the other generals, they were even more surprised.

Qiang Li and others looked over.

The king actually called Zhao Tuo "the good general of Qin", and even skipped the old minister, and was the first to ask him, such treatment makes people very jealous.

Li Xin's eyes were full of complexity.

Two years ago, after asking Wang Jian and other important officials, the king directly asked Li Xin for his opinion.

Now he, Li Xin, has been reduced to listening at the end of the hall, and no one cares about him.

Zhao Tuo, who used to follow Li Xin by his side, replaced him and even surpassed him.

When the king asked, he even asked Zhao Tuo first, who can compare with this kind of favor?

Zhao Tuo was also surprised that Qin Wangzheng was the first to ask him. Shouldn't the normal procedure be to ask Wang Jian and Wei Liao first, and then ask others?

But since the king asked, he naturally had to answer immediately.

In the eyes of everyone full of various emotions, Zhao Tuo stood up, cupped his hands and said: "In my opinion, among the Qi Dynasties, the Qi Dynasty should be destroyed first."

Qin Wangzheng asked lightly: "Why?"

Zhao Tuo raised his head and said: "Qi is a big country. If you want to destroy Qi, you must dispatch at least 100,000 soldiers. Moreover, Qi is a vast country, and there is a possibility of long-term consumption. However, our Qin State has just destroyed Chu with an army of 600,000, and the national power has been greatly depleted. , the soldiers are exhausted, and the treasury is empty, if a battle to destroy Qi is launched at this time, it will be quite strong."

"On the contrary, it is not the case for destroying the dynasty. The country of Dai is small and has few people, and tens of thousands of soldiers can easily destroy it. The number of soldiers recruited is small, and it will not cause much consumption to the national strength of our Qin State."

"After the eradication of the dynasty, it must have been the autumn harvest. At that time, our treasury will be full, food and grass will be accumulated, and the soldiers will also have the ambition to fight after a rest. At that time, we will be able to bring the power of the eradication of the era, recruit a large army, and attack all in one fell swoop!"

Zhao Tuo's voice was sonorous and powerful.

Because he knew very well that in history, the Qin State sent Wang Ben to lead his troops northward to attack Yan and Dai in the same year when Jing Chu was destroyed, and finally sent his troops to destroy Qi in one fell swoop.

Although this era has changed a lot because of Zhao Tuo's participation, it has little impact on the general trend of destroying the country, and he only needs to follow the scriptures.

Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly, looked away, and fell on Wang Jian who was still drinking.

"Marquis of Wucheng, you are the number one general in our country of Qin, please advise me."

Wang Jian put down the wine cup and laughed: "Zhao Tuo's words are the opinions of the ministers. During the Qi Dynasty, the first generation should come first and then the Qi. Your Majesty has a good general like Zhao Tuo, so I can retire with peace of mind."

Compared to two years ago, when Qin Wangzheng used Li Xin, Wang Jian secretly regretted retiring from his old age and returning home. Now he is really willing to go home.

"Wei Gong, you are a master of the art of war, dare to ask for advice."

Qin Wangzheng nodded, then turned his head to look at Wei Liao, his words were modest, which gave Wei Liao enough face.

Knowing that this was his last offer in Qin State, Wei Liao said in a deep voice, "I have the same views as Marquis Wucheng and General Zhao. The Dai State is weak, but it is only a county, and the country is poor and few people. In the battle, a part of the army was destroyed by the Marquis of Wucheng. If our country of Qin wants to destroy the dynasty, it only needs tens of thousands of troops, and it can be taken in a few months."

"On the other hand, Qi State, although General Zhao defeated 100,000 soldiers in Zhencheng. But Qi is a big country, with more than 70 cities in Qi, rich and numerous people. If the country is in danger of subjugation, it can have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in armor. It should not be underestimated. also."

"Therefore, if Qin State wants to unify the world, it should be easy before it is difficult. After Dai State is destroyed, Qi State will have no help and will fall into panic. At that time, whether it is to surrender or send troops to conquer, it will be easier."

"As for the loss of our national strength in Qin, General Zhao has already considered it. Although General Zhao is young, he is very experienced in seeking the country."

At this point, Wei Liao couldn't help sighing again: "It's a pity that Prime Minister Qi was assassinated after the victory. Otherwise, if there is such a person, it would be much easier for us Qin to take over Qi."

Seeing Zhao Tuo open his mouth, Wang Jian and Wei Liao agreed, saying that the first generation came later, and the rest of the generals also nodded in agreement.

As Zhao Tuo and the two old ministers said, it is very easy for Qin to destroy the dynasty.

However, there are risks in destroying Qi. After all, Qi is a big country in ancient times, not only with great national strength. And if at this moment of national subjugation, another character like Tian Dan suddenly appeared, it would be troublesome.

Therefore, it is easy first and then difficult. Stabilize Qi first, and then slowly turn around and tidy up after taking down the land.

This strategic plan is very clear.

Qin Wangzheng smiled and said: "All the generals say that the first generation will come later, and the widow also thinks the same. If so, after the spring plowing this year, the widow will send tens of thousands of troops to the north to wipe out the remnants of the generation."

"After the eradication of the dynasty, free up your hands and clean up Qi!"

"King Shengming!"

All the generals applauded.

Zhao Tuo also followed suit.

As he expected, it would take several months for the Qin Dynasty to destroy the dynasty and send troops after the spring plowing.

At this moment, Zhao Tuo raised his head and saw the king on the main seat, looking at him too.

"Dai Guo, the remnants of Zhao."

Qin Wangzheng was satisfied in his heart, looking at the young man in the palace, he was quite pleased.

If Zhao Tuo had hesitated in his answer just now, his mood would be very different.

"This son has the surname of Zhao, and he is of the same ancestor as Zhao Jia's Daiguo."

"When the widow asked him when the Qi Dynasty started, he wanted to see if he had the intention of destroying the ancestral temple and the country for the sake of the widow and the Qin state. Looking at it now, this son's will is quite determined."

"Only if the body and mind belong to my country of Qin, can I be the son-in-law of the widow."

Things are almost busy, tomorrow will be three shifts, and the frequency of the next three shifts will be the same as before.

In history, when Qin State destroyed Chu, it sent troops to attack Yan and Dai, and the offensive was swift and fierce. Therefore, it is more appropriate to discuss strategies at this time, and after several months of preparation, it is more appropriate to go out after spring plowing.

"Historical Records The Benji of Qin Shihuang": In the twenty-fifth year, the army was greatly promoted, and Wang Ben general was sent to attack Yan and Liaodong, and the king of Yan was pleased. Also attack Dai, captive Dai Wang Jia. Wang Jian then ordered the south of Jing; he descended to the king of Yue and set up Kuaiji County. In May, the world is full of alcohol.

"Historical Records: The Benji of Qin Shihuang": "The World's Great Drunk" in twenty-five years. Zhang Shoujie is righteous: "The world is full of joy and drinking. Qin has equalized the five countries of Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu, so the world is full of alcohol."
