Chapter 560 General Trend

Xianyang.

Qin Palace.

"Hanyang Jun!"

"Hanyang Jun!"

…

In the Qin court, before the King of Qin arrived, hundreds of officials walked into the palace.

Mr. Changping came early. Standing in his seat, listening to the voices saying hello from behind, he felt a little inexplicable.

After Lord Changping was dismissed as prime minister, he was just an ordinary feudal lord of the Qin State. Even though he had a title, his position in the court was still moved back a little.

But Zhao Shuang, young and gentle, wearing a marquis uniform, quietly passed him and walked forward amidst the greetings of everyone.

He is honored as the Marquis of Guannei, ranking only behind the left and right prime ministers.

Lord Changping sighed in his heart and felt a sense of depression.

Looking around the court class, Chu Xi could hardly be seen in the front position.

As for officials at the level of two thousand stones, the Chu family only accounts for a small part.

After the death of Queen Mother Huayang, the ties that maintained the Chu family and the family disappeared. In the past few years, the position occupied by the Chu family has been replaced by the forces of the aristocratic family.

What's more, some of the Chu people who originally gathered in Huayang Palace also switched to Zhao Shuang's command, drawing a clear line with Lord Changping and joining the clan forces.

But Zhao Shuang is moving forward step by step. His followers also filled the court, whether they were civil servants or military generals.

If the situation is like this, Lord Changping can only take risks.

"Your Majesty!"

The chamberlain shouted loudly, and all the ministers bowed their heads in salute. Lord Changping was awakened by this sound and lowered his head.

"The king will live forever!"

King Qin glanced at Zhao Shuang among the courtiers. In the past ten years, he had gone from an ordinary prince to his current position.

Rapid progress!

After a set of etiquette was completed, Qin Ting began today's discussion process.

Destroy Wei and attack Chu!

Now the Qin army has defeated Yan and Zhao, and while acquiring a large amount of land, it has also gained astonishing financial and military power.

Zhao "had hundreds of thousands of armor, thousands of chariots, and ten thousand horses."

Yan "had hundreds of thousands of armor, six hundred chariots, and six thousand horses."

Zhao was defeated and Yan was defeated, and now the north of the river has been included in Qin's territory. Even if there is still some remaining resistance, it is no longer a force.

Both Qin and Chu were large countries with "millions of armors, thousands of chariots, and ten thousand horses". But now, the two are no longer on the same level.

What's more, Chu State had just experienced civil strife. Chu Gongzi killed King Ai of Chu and proclaimed himself King of Chu. Undercurrents surged within the Chu Kingdom.

In fact, since the death of King Chu Kaolie, the Chu State has fallen into a long period of weakness, and this incident has completely exposed this weakness.

"Kings!"

When everyone was surprised, Lord Changping stood up.

"I think that destroying Wei and attacking Chu should not be regarded as two battles, but one battle!"

"A game?"

"South of the river, the water system is criss-crossed and connected. Now that Yan and Zhao are both destroyed, Wei and Chu are afraid. If our army attacks one country, the other country will definitely help! Therefore, we should attack Wei and Chu in one fell swoop!"

After Lord Changping said this, many Qin generals on the side nodded. What Chang Pingjun said actually makes sense.

From a country perspective, the Qin army now has two opponents south of the river. But in fact, these two enemies are actually the same force.

Today, Wei and Chu actually have no choice. The Qin army destroyed Han and Zhao and seized the territory of Yan. The past alliances of vertical and horizontal alliances had lost their use. The only thing left before Wei and Chu was to unite.

Moreover, from the perspective of military strategy, Wei and Chu are similar and can be regarded as two goals under one grand strategy. It's just that one is bigger and the other is smaller.

"What do you think, sir?"

King Qin asked.

Lord Changping bowed his hands and continued.

"Since General Meng Ao captured Dongjun, Wei has become a small country five hundred miles away. Wei is weak, so Wei should be the first to take Daliang. At the same time, Xinzheng, Yangzhai, Luyang, and Wan In the city and other places, we hoarded grain, grass, soldiers and horses, and built up a great momentum to frighten the Chu people and not dare to fully aid Wei. After taking Daliang, we combined our forces to destroy Chu."

After the Yan Dynasty was destroyed, Wang Ben led his army to cross the river south. At this time, he had already fought against the Wei and Chu coalition forces. Although the Qin army won the victory, the resistance of the Wei and Chu coalition forces was also fierce.

Lord Changping is very talented. Even though he has now resigned as prime minister, his strategies are still very sophisticated and accurate.

The Wei State was located in the Central Plains and was surrounded by enemies on all sides, but it still defended it heavily. It deployed many barriers, pavilions and fires on its borders, especially on the border with the Qin State.

When Lord Xinling was still there, the Qin army marched eastward from Sanchuan and faced a stalemate with the Wei army. The battle was very difficult. Every city and place is made of blood.

Even now, Daliang, the capital of Wei, is still a fortified city that is difficult to conquer.

Wei's soldiers were strong but weak, while Chu's soldiers were numerous but scattered. The combination of the two can temporarily compete with the Qin army. However, it is only temporary. With the current national and military power of Qin, once the integration and deployment is completed, Wei and Chu will be difficult to resist.

This is an upright trend!

Many of the ministers in the court nodded slightly, feeling that what Lord Changping said made sense.

At this moment, there was an emergency call outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Yingchuan County has come to report that there are bandits in the area under his jurisdiction, most of whom are refugees from the Chu region. They are so powerful that the county soldiers cannot control them."

Bandit?

The ministers were surprised, how could there be bandits, especially at this time? Could it be that Chu State deliberately rushed over to cause trouble?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Yingchuan to quell this commotion."

Lord Changping immediately handed over his hand and prepared to take over this errand. Lord Changping is indeed the most suitable candidate. With his status as the Prince of Chu, he has great influence among the people of Chu.

King Qin looked at Lord Changping and finally said something.

"In this case, there is Lord Lao Changping."

After the court meeting dispersed, Wang Jian and Zhao Shuang walked side by side in the aisle, preparing to leave the palace.

"Why didn't Mr. Han Yang say a word during the meeting today?"

After the Yan Dynasty moved to Liaodong, the elite Qin army and most of the Qin generals in the land of Yan and Zhao returned to Guanzhong. Zhao Shuang still stayed to deal with matters and did not return until recently.

"Mr. Changping has already said it, what else can I say?"

Zhao Shuang smiled slightly and said.

"Yes!" Wang Jian nodded, "Although Lord Changping is from Chu, he is loyal to Qin, which is really admirable."

"After all, Mr. Fusu has grown up, and it's time for Mr. Changping to think about the eldest son."

"This is truly a blessing to our great Qin!"

The two of them walked along the palace road and came to the place where the carriage was parked.

The emperor has six, the princes have five, the ministers have four, the officials have three, the scholars have two, and the common people have one.

The positions of Chehou and Guanneihou are comparable to those of other princes. From the eldest concubine to the eldest concubine, the positions are higher than those of the ministers.

The two parted, Zhao Shuang stepped onto the carriage with five horses abreast, and Wang Jian stepped onto the carriage with four horses at the side. The moment they boarded the shaft, they both cursed secretly.

Old fox!
