Prime Minister of Great Qin

Zhang Liang lowered his eyebrows.

He thought about it carefully.

Still don't understand the key.

However, from Ji Heng's determined look, he could almost conclude that the Xiongnu's march south had probably been decided for a long time. As long as Qin Ting handled it properly, it would definitely defeat the Xiongnu who went south, and might even repeat Meng Tian's pioneering feat.

Plow the courtyard and sweep the holes.

If this is true, what impact will it have on the world situation?

Zhang Liang pondered secretly.

Just one thought.

He thought of the current commander-in-chief of the Beiyuan Army, and then shook his head. The past commander-in-chief of the Beiyuan Army was Meng Tian. However, as Meng Tian became the Prime Minister of Great Qin, the commander-in-chief of the Beiyuan Army was actually vacant. Su Jiao , Shejian and other generals managed it.

However, half a month ago, Han Xin was appointed deputy general of the Beiyuan Army.

Think of this.

A strange color flashed between Zhang Liang's brows.

He looked at Ji Heng in surprise, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

I'm afraid that at that time, Ji Heng and Fu Su had already secretly finalized the matters involved, but they just kept silent. In the end, the Great Qin Court was focused on the reform of the government led by Ji Heng, but they neglected to appoint Han Xin. .

There is nothing wrong with this appointment at first glance.

Because Han Xin came from the Beiyuan Army in the past, it is natural for him to return now.

But he was the biggest contributor to quelling the rebellion in Guandong. His military exploits were already shining, and now he was faced with the Xiongnu marching south. Perhaps at the beginning, the Qin army would have been caught off guard. However, if Han Xin had known earlier that the Xiongnu would move south, he would have made preparations in advance. If you are prepared, what will be the result?

Han Xin will make meritorious deeds again.

At that time, the imperial court may issue an edict and directly promote him to the chief general of the Northern Plains army, commanding the 300,000-strong Northern Plains army. After the Qin army takes a short rest, they can launch a counterattack against the Xiongnu. With Han Xin's military capabilities, it is impossible for the Xiongnu to be opponent's.

Zhang Liang deeply agrees with this.

Others may not have a deep understanding of Han Xin's military talents, but he has faced Han Xin's military prowess directly. The army he commanded is completely different from an ordinary army. For many generals, he can lead tens of thousands of troops. , or even 100,000, is already very difficult, especially when planning the battle, but Han Xin is not, he seems to have a very clear and clear judgment on the battle situation in his mind.

Even if he is not in the middle of various armies, he still has a detailed understanding of the actual situation of the army, and can make the most beneficial decisions for the battle. This is how he strategizes. The progress, current position, etc. are all very clear, and the Qin army is already strong and well-equipped. In this case, even if it is as strong as Xiang Ji, it is still no match for Han Xin.

Xiang Ji can't do it.

Mao Dun is even more impossible.

Perhaps in the early stage, when the Qin army was unprepared, they could take advantage of it, but as the Qin army reacted, Maodun could not resist at all and would only retreat. In this case, with his attack on Qin Ting, Style and judgment of the current situation, Han Xin will continue to pursue death and north.

At that time, it may even be possible to level Langjuxu Mountain.

If so.

Han Xin's prestige in the army will skyrocket, completely catching up with the former Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Tian is now ranked as the left prime minister of the Qin Dynasty. He can be said to be lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people. Who can stop Han Xin's promotion in the court? ?

Who dares to stop it?

Again.

The current Beiyuan army is no longer the past.

There are many generals from Guandong. In this case, these generals will also be promoted. In this case, the situation in the Great Qin Army will change significantly.

The rapid rise of the military power group headed by Han Xin is not what the old military power groups in Guanzhong want to see.

Therefore, we must take measures and suppress them.

in this way

Zhang Liang looked at Ji Heng.

There was a hint of horror and shock on his face.

The military group in Guanzhong may get close to them in exchange for suppressing the Guandong group and thereby maintaining their own interests. In this case, if Ji Heng wants to promote restructuring, it will undoubtedly be much easier and easier to be accepted.

Because the old system was undoubtedly a thoroughfare for Han Xin and others.

Only by restructuring, changing the old system, and adopting a new system can it be possible to block Kanto's further momentum.

True.

The restructuring also had a significant impact on them.

But now there are Meng Yi and Zhang Cang in the restructured government, and the officials in Guandong are obviously not as good as the two. In addition, with the end of the court meeting more than half a month ago, most of the officials in Guandong have returned to Guandong, and the officials in Guanzhong The right to speak is obviously greater.

In this case, they can obviously win over changes that are more beneficial to them.

finally.

Ji Heng relied on the Xiongnu to squeeze the economy of the Qin Dynasty, so he had to go south, and then formed a trend of rising power in Guandong. He then took the opportunity to coerce the officials in Guanzhong and had to stand with them, and then promoted the restructuring of the Qin Dynasty.

And all this.

It seems to have nothing to do with Ji Heng.

He was not involved in anything, but he became the biggest beneficiary.

It all seems natural.

But Zhang Liang understood very well.

This is momentum.

This is also Ji Heng’s way.

Ever since he was planning for the Qin court, he had been taking advantage of the situation to suppress others and break the situation. This time, he just followed the same pattern. In the past, Ji Heng planned for the world, but now Ji Heng's eyes are looking beyond the Qin Dynasty.

Zhang Liang showed a hint of bitterness.

It is really a great misfortune to be an enemy of someone as evil as Ji Heng.

Frustrated and helpless.

And this is indeed what makes Ji Heng extraordinary.

What Ji Heng did seemed easy and casual, but in fact it was extremely dangerous. It required a well-prepared judgment of the current situation in the world and a bold prediction. Only in this case can we make preparations in advance. Be prepared, take advantage of the situation, and rise with the wind. This is a very harsh judgment on the current situation.

Once the calculation is wrong, the whole game may be lost, but Ji Heng always wins.

Zhang Liang sighed with emotion: "Zhang Liang admires Brother Ji for his talent and foresight. He used the power of the Xiongnu to promote the restructuring. Zhang Liang is really sorry for his uncanny workmanship. His defeat at your hands in the past was really not unjust, and even deserved." .”

Ji Heng smiled.

He said calmly: "Brother Zifang is too modest."

"The era of great strife actually left a lot of precious wealth for the world. However, with the frequent wars, many things were ignored or even lost. The war between Da Qin and the Xiongnu was actually destined to happen."

"It's just ahead of schedule."

"Under normal circumstances, Mao Dun will rest for a few years and wait until his troops are strong before heading south again."

"But with the exchange of trade, Da Qin's plunder of grassland resources has intensified, and many of the grassland resources take many years to generate. Unlike Da Qin, tea and salt are almost endless. In this kind of economy, Under the devastation, the Xiongnu will only become more and more overwhelmed, and the occurrence of grassland disasters in the past two years has further forced the Xiongnu to take risks."

"War is a great science."

"In addition to the common swords, axes, hooks and halberds, there are also invisible weapons."

"This is money!"

“Finance is the lifeblood of a regime.”

"The best way to destroy a regime is to cut off its finances."

"This kind of war that kills people invisible has happened several times in the era of great strife, but many people have ignored it and thought it was a boring move by a big country. Little do they know that this kind of economic war has achieved great results , often more immediate and more terrifying than an attack or war."

Zhang Liang nodded.

This method is indeed amazing.

It’s also easy to not take precautions, and by the time you realize it, it’s already too late.

However, just as the Huns might do, if the other side is stronger, it may not be unable to use force to break the situation.

This is only suitable for big countries to deal with small countries.

Think of this.

Zhang Liang was thoughtful.

Now that the world has returned to Qin, there are no princes around, only some nomadic tribes. The strength of these nomadic tribes is far inferior to that of Great Qin. Does this mean that Great Qin can follow the same method and take the initiative to bring out some goods and compete with nearby people? The tribes trade, and then continue to tire them out. When the opponent is extremely weak or wants to fight to the death, they will directly send troops to destroy them.

even

You can use force to force the other party to trade.

This is not impossible.

If this is the case, there may no longer be any existence around Da Qin that can threaten Da Qin, and it will continue to be affected by Da Qin and eventually be cannibalized step by step.

And the reason why Great Qin was able to do this.

Mainly a little bit.

Great Wall.

The Great Wall cut off most routes between the Qin and the Xiongnu, forcing trade to go through legal channels. This ensured that trade was always within the control of the court and would not eventually turn into an enemy.

Another point is to suppress business.

Daqin is very strict in cracking down on smuggling and selling.

It was precisely the many external conditions that ultimately contributed to such a situation.

aside.

Hu Hai looked confused.

He had no idea what the two were talking about.

Zhang Liang looked confused before, but after a while, Zhang Liang seemed to understand everything. Now he was the only one left in the dark. Hu Hai coughed lightly and said displeasedly: "Ji Heng, this is wrong of you, just explain it if you want to."

"Why did the Huns go south?"

"Why is this beneficial to restructuring?"

"Even if the Xiongnu really goes south, it will be the Qin Dynasty that will deal with it, not you. Why will this affect the restructuring?"

"."

Hu Hai asked a lot of questions.

Ji Heng and Zhang Liang looked at each other and were speechless. They just patted Hu Hai on the shoulder and said calmly: "Just wait. It won't be long before you hear the news about the Xiongnu army going south. Also use Before long, you will hear that the Xiongnu were defeated and the Qin army, led by Han Xin, was chasing them north."

"Restructuring is urgent but not urgent."

"Urgentness is the attitude shown to the outside world."

"There is no rush. The restructuring cannot be accomplished overnight and must be based on the situation."

"True and false, false and true."

"in this way."

“Only can people be hard to guard against, and only then can people’s plans fail.”

"You'd better improve these papers."

"Maybe it won't take long."

"You will serve as an official."

Ji Heng took a deep look at Hu Hai, turned around and returned to the room.

Hu Hai was left looking at a loss. (End of chapter)
