Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 74 Wei Liao Wants to Dismember the Six Kingdoms

That night, Hu Hai, Wei Liao, Zhang Cang, and later Ziying talked and drank freely until the frosty and misty morning.

They all have complexes about Daqin.Regarding the empire, they all have the idea and courage to recast.The four talked freely, forgetting the passage of time.

……

The sun was setting on the mountain top in the east early, and the haze of the heavy snow disaster was washed away a lot at once.It seemed to indicate that the Great Qin Empire ushered in a new life.

On a new day, the four of them were in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, as if they didn't feel tired, they still talked freely.

……

Putting down the wine bowl in his hand, at this moment, Hu Hai was a little drunk, but his eyes were clear and even sharp: "Guo Wei, the current situation is like the Warring States Period, even far more turbulent than the Warring States Period."

"I don't know if Guowei has a good plan to solve the danger of Daqin?"

……

At this moment, all eyes were on Wei Liao.

After drinking the wine in the bowl, Wei Liao blurted out: "After the Battle of Hangu Pass, the restoration forces in Shandong fell into a dilemma."

"Looking at the restoration forces in the Kanto region, there are obvious differences among them. Chen She rose up and called Zhang Chu under the guise of his son Fusu and Chu general Xiang Yan."

"Now Liu Ji's army and Xiang Yu's army all come from Chu. It can be inferred from this that the chaos in Chu is the root of the chaos in the world."

"If Zhang Han has the insight of a first-class famous general, pursues and kills Xiang Yu and Liu Jiyu's troops in one go, and captures King Huai of Chu to restore the royal family, and completely eradicates the root of the chaos in Chu, then Qin Zheng still has the possibility of revival again."

"It's just that Zhang Han missed the opportunity by adhering to the training of poor soldiers not to chase soldiers. He gave up chasing and killing the Chu army, and immediately went north to fight against Zhao. As a result, the situation in the world has deteriorated to this point."

"Fortunately, His Majesty executed Zhao Gao when Zhao Gao's perversion was the most chaotic and the Great Qin Empire was in the most critical situation, and wiped out the remnants of the chaos in one fell swoop."

"Especially at the three major passes of Gaoguan, Wuguan, and Hangu, the performance was astonishing, and the overall situation in Guanzhong was stabilized. In this way, given time, the imperial temple will definitely recover from the shock."

Wei Liao took a sip of the rice wine and refreshed himself: "Today, the war is raging everywhere. If Zhang Han's 20 prisoner army has not been killed, Wang Li's [-] original army is still there."

"I will definitely suggest to Your Majesty to defeat Chu and Zhao to relieve the current crisis, and the rest will be settled one by one."

"However, the entire army of Wang Li was wiped out in Julu, and all Zhang Han was killed in Xin'an. The Qin Empire was short of troops, and the state treasury was short of grain, grass, and goods."

"In the entire Guanzhong, there are only Baxia Cang, Shu Cang, and Xianyang government treasury to support it. The minister's suggestion is to negotiate peace with the restoration forces in the Guandong to relieve the danger of destroying the country."

Hu Hai felt the same way, the Great Qin Empire did have several opportunities to rejuvenate, but missed them one by one.

For a while, after pondering for a moment, Hu Hai said decisively: "What good strategy does the Guowei have, I would like to hear the details!"

"Your Majesty, Chu is now the main force for the restoration of the Kwantung region, and the flags of the old six national flags are displayed in a big way, with thousands of soldiers and horses ranging from tens of thousands!"

"The old minister thought that the great feudal kingdom was in the Kanto, as long as there are soldiers in his hands, he can be feudal. With all the kingdoms, the six kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei will be completely dismembered."

"At that time, all nations will coexist. It will be like the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, with constant disputes. In this way, my Great Qin will have a breathing space."

……

"Use the crowd to transform the six countries, create conflicts, and take advantage of the momentum to recuperate. When the general trend has been achieved, send troops to Hangu Pass!"

For Wei Liao's words, Hu Hai had a deeper understanding, which was simply another version of the decree to cut the vassals.

Hu Hai was overjoyed, Jiang was really old and spicy.Glancing at Ziying and Zhang Cang: "Master Zuo, what does Ting Wei think of Guo Wei's words?"

"Good!" The two agreed in their hearts, and they clapped their hands together in praise.

……

Hu Hai fell into deep thought, got up abruptly after a long time, and said, "Zhang Cang, according to Guowei's policy, you will immediately go out of Hangu Pass to meet Xiang Yu."

"Yes."

The Great Qin Empire was at stake. As the second emperor, Hu Hai had too many things to do.It's just that if the dangers of Hangu Pass and Wuguan pass are unclear, the hearts of the people in Guanzhong will not be stable.

As a last resort, he could only lower his noble head.

……

In the middle of the night, Zhang Cang and Wei Liao came to Xianyang Palace to chat.When I left, it was already a red sun, a new day.

Zhang Cang didn't care about bathing and eating, so he first called Chang Shi to give him secret orders.A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Cang and Chang Shi took the two knights out of Xianyang and went to the Middle East in the faint morning mist.

The peace talks at this moment are highly valued by the ruling and opposition parties of the Great Qin Empire.Zhang Cang has a huge responsibility on his shoulders, so he dare not slack off in the slightest.

Zhang Cang left, but the main hall of Xianyang Palace was still brightly lit.A light flashed across Hu Hai's eyes: "Mr. Zuo, how is the snow disaster affecting the various places in Guanzhong?"

Ziying stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's wishes, I ordered to reduce the expenses of the royal family and the expenses of civil and military officials."

"At the same time, envoys will be sent to various places to supervise the disaster management and rescue of the people. In a few days, there will be information back."

"Ah."

Slightly nodding his head, Hu Hai pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "Uncle Wang has full power to handle the state affairs. As for military matters, I will entrust Guowei."

"Jijiu Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together!"

……

Hangu Pass.

Within ten days, Zhang Cang and his party arrived outside Hangu Pass.At this time, the Hangu Pass is more strictly checked than before.The investigation of "inspection" is more delicate.

The test and transmission were initiated by Shang Yang. Once implemented in Qin Dynasty, they immediately achieved great results in the investigation of traitors and robbers.

……

"Hanguguan is under martial law. If you show your inspection and biography, you are not allowed to enter unless you are an official of the imperial court!"

Not surprisingly, Zhang Cang was stopped.Zhang Cang took out the test pass from his sleeve and handed it to the soldiers of the Qin army in front.

……

"Inspection" is a photo of the body, which not only depicts a series of information such as the head and name, but also has the seal of the government.

However, Zhang Cang is different from the common people, but an official of the Great Qin Dynasty.The Qin law stipulates that as long as the common people's "inspection" is clear and identifiable, they will be released as usual.

If I am an official, there are various special marks on the "test", indicating the rank of the title.

"Master Zuo Shu, please!" The soldier turned around and shouted, "Let go—!"

"Farewell!"

With a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, Zhang Cang led people into the pass without hesitation, and went straight into the inner city of Hangu Pass.

……

"Master Zuo Shu!"

As soon as Zhang Cang walked away, some soldiers reported to Wang Ben on the back.When Zhang Cang arrived at the official office, Wang Ben had already greeted him at the door.

"Marquis Tongwu!"

Zhang Cang stopped, and bowed his hands towards Wang Ben: "Marquis Tongwu, how is the situation at Hangu Pass?"

"Ha ha……"

Wang Ben laughed loudly: "This heavy snowfall came at the right time. The bandit army outside the pass has retreated to Shan County, and the danger of Hangu Pass has been temporarily relieved."

"This is not a place to talk about. Inside the Chief Zuo Shu—please!" Wang Ben turned sideways and walked into the hall of the Qin Army Shogunate.

He knew that Zhang Cang came in a hurry, and he must have brought Hu Hai's order.Even with the next step of strategic deployment, Wang Ben dared not neglect.

The safety and danger of the Great Qin depended on him. At this time, Wang Ben was under a lot of pressure, and he was quite uneasy.
