The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1723 Guan Zhong's Scheme
Guan Zhong has always been in charge of things like tax collection, especially the newly reclaimed land in the Qin State. Although Guan Zhong has not seen it with his own eyes, the news of his meticulous work and rewards all show that this year will definitely be a bumper harvest.

A good harvest means a very large tax. Chu State is under great pressure now. In any case, he is considered a banker if he besieged and killed Li Shimin. Qin State can withdraw its troops and leave 10 people, but he dare not. After the 40 troops of the Chinese army came out, it would definitely be a great loss to Chu State.

It doesn't matter to Qin State, this is the land of Chu State, and now I say it's a temporary takeover, but it's a dove occupying the magpie's nest. Anyway, as long as Chengdu is well guarded, Li Shimin will come out of Jiangyang City at that time , The sky is dim and the earth is dark, and it has nothing to do with Qin.

"Okay, okay!" Guan Zhong was very angry, "Ying Fusu gave birth to a good son, and he can even say such things. You wait here, and I will go to meet His Majesty the Emperor now. Report this matter to His Majesty!"

The Chu official wiped the sweat off his face, stood on one side with folded hands, and watched Guan Zhong leave the army tent and head towards the big tent of the emperor of Chu.

Xiang Yu is indecisive now, and he regrets that he was entangled with Qin to attack Shu together.Thinking back now, what I was most afraid of at the beginning was that the whole country of Chu would attack Li Shimin, which would definitely cause a lot of damage. At that time, Qin would be a fisherman.

Therefore, the state of Chu thought very simply, if the state of Qin did not send troops, it would release water again to allow Li Shimin to live and continue to make trouble for the state of Qin.

Under such pressure, Qin had no choice but to send troops. It was thought that it would only take a moment for the armies of the two countries to crush Jiangyang City. However, almost half a year has passed since the siege of Qin's army began.

There is still no progress in attacking Jiangyang City, except that Qin Guo is outside the north gate of Jiangyang City, picking up soil and forming a mountain to observe the movement in Jiangyang City from a condescending position, which can be regarded as holding all the changes in Jiangyang City in his hands.

But... still attacking with a trebuchet without any pain, from throwing rolling stones at the beginning to throwing dirt directly behind.

After the latest officer of Chu State came back to report, Xiang Yu was very angry. The thing he wants to do most now is to directly send troops to attack Qin State!
Suppressing a sense of uselessness, he really turned this overlord into a bastard.

"Your Majesty, the officials I went to collect taxes received obstacles, and the state of Qin won't allow us to go there!" Guan Zhong just walked in, and said loudly, he was so angry that he had already forgotten to pay respects to the emperor and ministers.

Xiang Yu was furious when he heard the words, and slapped the imperial case in front of him with a slap, and the exquisite imperial case carved in pear blossom wood suddenly turned into pieces and exploded in the air.

"It's so rampant that you can't see anyone!" Xiang Yu was angry: "The three armies will be ordered to rise up, and I will personally command the army to attack the Qin army! I must kill Ying Fusu!"

But for some unknown reason, seeing Xiang Yu's fury, Guan Zhong suddenly had a flash of light in his mind, and an exquisite and flawless plan suddenly appeared in his mind, and subconsciously laughed wildly.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing Guan Zhong laughing wildly, Xiang Yu squinted his eyes and asked, "Why is Xiangguo laughing so wildly?"

Guan Zhong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I just heard what your Majesty said, and I have already thought of a plan to break the city. It is absolutely perfect!"

Xiang Yu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "I don't know what kind of strategy Xiangguo is talking about?"

The general on one side cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to order the whole army to dispatch troops?"

"Wait a minute!" Guan Zhong waved his hand, then knelt down to Xiang Yu and said, "Your Majesty, please take back your orders. Now is not the time for Qin to completely break up!"

Xiang Yu also realized that he was a little impulsive before, so he nodded and said: "According to Xiangguo's opinion, we will not send troops for the time being."

The general couldn't come to his senses, how could the emperor's edict be changed at will like this?But as a military commander himself, he was also humble and soft-spoken, he didn't dare to say much, so he bowed his hands and retreated.

Guan Zhong glanced at the broken imperial case and the memorials scattered on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the weather is fine today, how about I walk along the Yangtze River with Your Majesty?"

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "That's the best, Xiangguo please!"

"Don't dare, please, Your Majesty!" Guan Zhong pushed back to the side, insisting that Xiang Yu go first.

The emperor and his ministers rode their horses to the bank of the Yangtze River, accompanied by many guards.

Guan Zhong just said: "Fang Caichen was also very angry. He suddenly heard His Majesty say that he would send troops to attack Qin, and subconsciously thought of a problem. A few months ago, Li Shimin in the city had already thought of alienating the relationship between our country and Qin, so the humble minister I think, why don't we take the initiative and pretend that we have already started a war with Qin, then Li Shimin in the city will definitely not be able to sit still."

Xiang Yu gasped when he heard the words, and said in astonishment: "These schemes are truly ingenious, but such schemes... Qin's side is a little unsafe."

"That's true, because if this trick is not careful, it will turn into a real national war, and the person who will benefit at that time will be Li Shimin. In this way, our two countries will suffer the most, so this matter must be resolved. We've negotiated."

"I don't know what Xiangguo can do?" Xiang Yu felt that if Qin and Chu could really pretend to be fighting, then Li Shimin in the city would definitely rush out of the city gate.

The north gate of Jiangyang City was indeed built, but the south gate was not. The south gate was still a water village, and there was a huge gate that could be opened directly with a huge winch.

Here are the last warships prepared by the Kingdom of Shu. Once the south gate is opened, these warships can instantly become a terrifying force to annex the world.

In ancient times, Qi State was once destroyed and only one city was left, but it relied on one city as the last strength to restore the country.

Such things are not uncommon in history, and both Xiang Yu and Fusu are very clear about Li Shimin's abilities, so they will not withdraw easily if this tiger is trapped, even if it is an army of hundreds of thousands Long besieged Jiangyang City, the consumption of grain and grass in the middle school is an astronomical figure every day... However, the opportunity to kill Li Shimin does not come every day!
"This matter needs a long-term plan. No matter whether it is our country or the Qin country, those who participate in this fire merger must not be the elite of the country, otherwise, we will fight the right fire." Guan Zhong thought: "Li Shimin is not an ordinary person. If we don't lose some manpower, we absolutely can't trick him out of the city!"

Xiang Yu reined in the black horse and came to the edge of the Yangtze River. He stretched out his hand to hold a handful of river water, and then sprinkled it out. He nodded and said, "It is acceptable to lose some manpower. Xiangguo predicts at least how many manpower will be lost." ?”
