My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 174: Then I’ll give you [-] (please give me a monthly ticket!)

Li Xin couldn't stand it anymore.

The prince was able to say so much when he opened his mouth, and because he said a lot, it seemed that he was right.

Li Xin had no choice but to turn his attention to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng chose Li Xin because now he could only mobilize 20 troops to quickly attack Chu.Only Li Xin was confident of leading 20 troops to attack Chu.

But compared to Li Xin's bravery and proficiency in fighting, Fusu is obviously an all-rounder, but Ying Zheng still doesn't want to give it to a brat like him if he wants Ying Zheng to spend 40 troops.

Because I dare not.

This is a war, and tens of thousands of lives can easily be lost.

As the leader of a country, he wants to win and also be responsible for the people of the country.

"The prince's words are sharp and his reasoning is thorough. Before going to war, we must prepare for future management. When fighting, we must also consider the issue of appeasing the people behind the army's rear positions."

"But with Qin's current military strength, we can only provide 20 troops. And Chu is ready to attack Qin at any time."

"Whoever can attack Chu with 20 troops and horses will be sent to lead the attack."

Li Xin was naturally overjoyed when he heard this.

"I go!"

Li Xin agreed to the matter without hesitation.

Li Xin dared to propose using 20 yuan to attack Chu State, firstly because he already had certain strength, and secondly because Li Xin had already made a plan to use 20 yuan to attack Chu State.

He still has to use the long-distance attack strategy, and the key to the strategy still lies in the word 'quick'.

Li Xin has benefited a lot from this tactic, and it has proven successful every time, so he is naturally confident.

"Father, I can use one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to strengthen the border defense in Chu to resist Chu's attack and prepare enough time for Qin. I only need to wait for the expiration of one year. By then, the Chu people will have lost their will to fight. But our country, Qin, has enough troops, horses, food and grass."

"Once the 40 troops and horses are fully prepared, our Qin State will attack Chu State, and we will be fully confident at that time.

"At least in my opinion, if we can buy Qin one year of war preparation time without losing a single soldier, it will make the attack on Chu more likely to win."

Li Xinxin looked at Fusu with horrified eyes.

Ying Zheng was also surprised.

After the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard the prince's proposition, they had to be convinced even if they were not convinced.

Many veterans looked at each other face to face at first, and then they all nodded.

As the head of the hundred officials, Prime Minister Wang Wan did not want to miss this opportunity again.

"Your Majesty, I think that the plan proposed by the prince is indeed more beneficial than using 20 to directly attack the Chu State. First, our Qin State has been fighting for years, and the soldiers also need to rest. Secondly, our Qin State has attacked the cities in these years. It is increasing day by day, and it needs to be managed and appeased. Especially since last year and this year combined, our Qin State acquired more cities than in the past combined."

"This is the third one. Wei Chen thinks that our Qin State is already a weak army. Although it has morale, facing Chu State's 30 soldiers and horses, it does not have a numerical advantage."

"Furthermore, the State of Chu has been preparing soldiers, horses and food for many years while our State of Qin is attacking other countries. Its strength cannot be underestimated."

After Wang Wan finished speaking, other ministers also followed suit. "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. You should follow the prince's advice."

After Ying Zheng heard this, he felt as if a duck he had obtained was suddenly let go by Fusu.

I could have obtained the Chu State right away, but the Qi State was not worth mentioning.Calculating the time, I can dominate the world if I don't get out of 36.

But Fusu suggested that we wait for a year.

So what if all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty had one voice? The current Qin State had long been built into a highly centralized monarchy by Ying Zheng.

If Ying Zheng doesn't agree with his words, even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will be of no use.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the throne, was uncharacteristically silent. When so many ministers saw this, the voices of agreement that were originally unanimous gradually weakened, until there was complete silence in the palace.

When Li Xin saw such a scene, he naturally admired Ying Zheng even more.

The king is the most supreme person in the Qin State, and the king has the final say.

Li Xin originally felt pressured by the fact that all the ministers unanimously supported Fusu, but when he saw the king's courage, he stood up straighter.

Fusu didn't want to waste such an opportunity. Even if Lord Changping was not treasonous, he had no military power and strength. How could he compete with Ying Zheng, who was dim in his later years? How could he suppress the ministers when he succeeded to the throne without military exploits?

Even though all the ministers in the court were obedient in the face of King Qin's administration, these ministers were all the most famous people in the world.

It is only because the person they are facing is Ying Zheng that they are so well-behaved, but once they are placed in other vassal states, other lords will definitely not be able to parry them.

If he was always suppressed by Ying Zheng behind the scenes, living in the palace, and in everyone's mouth, even if there was no Dune Coup, there was no guarantee that he would not encounter the situation of the violent prince Liu Ju.

Fusu had no choice but to do the opposite, "Father, if you use 20 to attack Chu, there is a risk of defeat. Once Chu is defeated, the attack on Qi will inevitably be postponed."

"If Qin is given one year to prepare for war, then it will only take half a year to attack Chu, and the certainty of defeating Chu can be increased to [-]%. After attacking Chu, Qi will definitely be captured. "

"When the time comes to destroy Chu and Qi, it will take up to one year in total."

Fusu could tell that Ying Zheng was very impatient and anxious to complete the war to pacify the world in the next two years.

Then why don't you draw a bigger cake for him?

Originally, Ying Zheng understood Fusu's correct suggestion but deliberately ignored it. However, when he heard this solution, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly brightened.

"It takes one year to capture the Chu State and destroy the Qi State at the same time. Isn't this too fast?" Ying Zheng did not ask whether it was possible or not, he only cared about how well things were done.

"Father, I believe that the more troops the better. If enough time is bought, Qin can prepare an army of 40 or even 60. By then, it will not only absorb the soldiers of the old Zhao, Yan, Han, Wei, and Chu, In terms of numbers, they will crush Chu State."

"I heard from an expert that to accomplish something, the preparation time is always very long, but in fact the time to complete it is very short."

"The same principle applies to war. If we want to quickly occupy the Chu State, we must first make adequate preparations. Even if we have to send 20 troops to attack the Chu State, we still need to spend time arranging the troops and selecting the best troops. Elite soldiers, the most sophisticated and sturdy carriages, the sharpest arrows?”

"It's better to do nothing and spend a year building an army that no one in the world can match."

"Just in terms of numbers, they will overwhelm the opponent with an overwhelming advantage."
