Chapter 2 The strategy of conquering alien races
In the study room, Qin Yiren was discussing major events with important civil and military officials such as Fan Sui, Huang Shigong, Wang Jian, Wei Liao, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Meng Wu, Li Si, Wang Wan, Han Fei, and Fan Zeng.
Fan Sui was no longer the prime minister and retired. However, the matter of discussion this time was too important, and Qin Yiren still wanted him to come and participate. Fan Sui was wise and had great talent, and had been in power for decades and had extremely rich experience. It is necessary to listen to his opinions.
"I have spent a year traveling across the country and seeing it with my own eyes, there are still many problems that need to be solved. However, in short, the Qin Dynasty is thriving." Qin Yiren said with a smile on his face.
"Haha." The efforts over the years have finally paid off. China is thriving and will get better and better. Is there anything more encouraging than this? Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"All kinds of accumulated problems have been eliminated, the foundation has been solidified, and it is inevitable that they will become stronger and stronger. Just by time, China will definitely be far better than the past." Qin Yiren said this, and said, "However, the Baiyue has not been collected and the Huns have not been destroyed, it is still a heartbreaking thing, and we have to launch wars again. Today, I have summoned you to discuss how to defeat the Baiyue and defeat the Huns. You must speak freely, and I will choose the good to accept it."
If the land of Baiyue is not collected, China is not complete, so Baiyue must be taken down.
If the Huns were not destroyed, there would be no peace in the northern border of China. Therefore, the Huns must be defeated.
This is a consensus between the government and the public. In the past, it was because the world was settled and no longer could be launched. It took time to eliminate the accumulated problems, recuperate and consolidate the foundation. This was why there was no use of troops.
Now, it is finally time to launch a large-scale military service, and everyone is extremely excited.
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that although the Qin Dynasty has a solid foundation and a strong national strength, it is not yet strong enough to use troops to the Baiyue and the Huns at the same time. Therefore, the old minister asks Your Majesty to choose one direction to use troops first." Fan Sui, who was respected, spoke first.
"I agree." Huang Shigong, Wei Liao, Li Mu and others agreed in unison.
Fan Sui's vision is always so far-reaching and thorough in his view of the problems. Today's Qin Dynasty's national strength is several times stronger than before, or even ten times stronger. However, it is still not as strong as two wars at the same time, let alone, it is not easy to pacify Baiyue and defeat the Huns. It is necessary to concentrate all your efforts to do it. Therefore, choosing a direction and focusing all your efforts to launch a war is the most correct decision.
"Fan Sui's wisdom and strategy are great for generations. It's true." Qin Yiren pointed to the point and said, "This is really true. I decided that the Qin Dynasty will not fight two wars at the same time, but it will only come one by one. Do you think, who will fight first and who will fight later?"
"Your Majesty, let's talk about this matter." Huang Shi Gong said to Qin Yiren.
Huang Shigong and Wei Liao were not only proficient in military affairs, but also very politically wise. They had their own unique insights. However, as a general, Wang Jian was the most suitable for him.
"Okay, Wang Jian, say it." Qin Yiren said to Wang Jian.
"Your Majesty, I think the Qin Dynasty should first attack the alien race in this time, and then pacify the Baiyue in the south first, and then concentrate its troops to defeat the Huns in the north." Wang Jian did not refuse.
"Good!" A voice of approval sounded, and Huangshi Gong and the others nodded together.
Wang Jian has a very good plan, so why should he first come south and then north instead of north and then south?
This has to be seen from the geographical environment. The south of the Baiyue land is the sea. Just pacify the Baiyue and divide the troops to garrison. There will be no major changes. The Qin Dynasty will not have too many troops stationed here.
The desert is different, vast and vast, with a vast area north of the north of the desert. Even if the Qin Dynasty defeated the Huns, it still needed to send heavy troops to the north. If it was first north and then south, it would be equivalent to the Qin State that it could only use one hand to deal with Baiyue, rather than one hand, and the other hand was restrained by the desert.
Furthermore, because Baiyue's land is limited and has no strategic depth, it is difficult to deal with the Qin army, so it is not too difficult for the Qin army to pacify Baiyue. However, the strategic depth of the desert is that if the Huns see the disadvantages and retreat to the north, it will be much more difficult for the Qin army to pursue it, and it will be difficult to solve the problem in a short time.
Of course, it would be best for the Qin Dynasty to quell the Huns in one battle and not fight a protracted war with the Huns. However, when planning, all possibilities must be taken into account.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Jian proposed that the south and then the north is the best solution.
"Wang Jian, how much time does it take to calm Baiyue?" Qin Yiren asked.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, if the Qin Dynasty launches a large number of troops, it will be pacified in one year at most." Wang Jian pondered slightly.
"How many soldiers are needed?" Qin Yiren asked.
"Five hundred thousand." Wang Jian stretched out five fingers with his right hand.
"You really dare to ask for it." Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows.
The 500,000 army is not a small number. Not to mention anything else, this logistics supply is a huge problem.
"Your Majesty, although Baiyue does not have excellent equipment, strict orders, and advanced tactics, the Baiyue land is too humid and hot, and has many miasma. Furthermore, the Baiyue land has many mountains, rivers and wetlands, which is not conducive to the Qin Dynasty. If there are too few soldiers, I may be afraid that the war will be delayed." Wang Jian was in Changsha for several years and had been studying the situation of Baiyue for a long time, and he knew the best of Baiyue.
Nowadays, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi are hot, miasma-prone, and very complex terrain. If the local Baiyue resistance is stubborn, if the Qin army is too much, it is inevitable that the Qin army will fight and delay.
It is precisely because of this point that in history, Qin Shihuang dispatched 500,000 troops to conquer Lingnan in the south.
After conquering Lingnan, the 500,000 troops were stationed in Lingnan. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo, the leader of this Qin army, ordered the blockade of the Five Ridges, and no horse could be returned.
These 500,000 troops were elite soldiers in a hundred battles. They personally created the Great Qin Empire, but abandoned the Empire at the critical moment of life and death. This is an important reason for the rapid destruction of the Qin Dynasty. If these 500,000 troops returned to the battlefield in the Central Plains in time, Liu Bang and the King of Chu would not be their opponents and would be crushed to pieces soon.
"Okay. 500,000 is 500,000. Just quickly pacify Lingnan." Qin Yiren also knew that it was not easy to pacify Lingnan. It was a complex jungle war, which was completely different from the war in the Central Plains. The Qin army could not be too few.
"The food and grass of the 500,000 army is a big problem. Fortunately, in recent years, the food and grass in Shu have not been used, so Li Erlang can be ordered to transport it to Guilin." Qin Yiren smiled.
Qin State acquired Bashu, which was a very visionary move. Qin Yi was also very visionary in managing Bashu. Over the years, Bashu had stored a large amount of food and grass, which finally came in handy.
"After pacifying Baiyue, we must use troops to the Huns. This matter requires extremely early planning." Huang Shi said openly, "The planning is for General Li Mu. However, I think that if you want to defeat the Huns, you must advance in two directions to give the Huns the greatest blow. General Li Mu has been in the north for a long time and is most familiar with the Huns. He can lead an army. There is another army. Who will lead it? Please make a decision as soon as possible."
Huang Shigong said this very reasonably. If you want to use troops, you must first choose a general. Only by choosing a leader and defeating all the affairs of the Huns can you truly start it.
Li Muji was in the north for a long time. He was familiar with the desert and the Huns, and he also had extraordinary military talents. He led an army to fight, and no one would object.
The question is, who will command the other army, it will become a problem.
Everyone's eyes fell on Wang Jian and Wei Liao. Wang Jian and Wei Liao both had outstanding military talents and were convinced that any of them could lead another army.
"After the General pacified Baiyue, let's take charge of Lingnan. The matter of defeating the Huns will be left to Li Mu and Wei Liao." Qin Yiren made the decision.
"Thank you Your Majesty." Wei Liao was overjoyed and greeted Qin Yiren.
Wei Liao is a military genius who is rare. He is good at military tactics and is better at strategy. He is Qin Yiren's left arm and right arm. He has given advice for Qin Yiren, but he has never led his troops to the battlefield. Now, he can finally lead his troops to kill the enemy. Is there anything that makes him more happy than this?
"Oh." Wang Jian didn't say anything and sighed softly.
Defeating the Huns is the voice of every Chinese man. Wang Jian cannot participate in this battle, so how can he not regret it?
"The world is lively and white clouds are cold, Wang Jian, you can't participate in all the fun, you still have to adapt to the desertedness." Qin Yiren smiled.
"Thank you for your teachings." Wang Jian said hurriedly.
Wang Jian has extraordinary political wisdom and his political vision is very impressive. It is better to let him stay in Lingnan and it is reassuring.
Next, everyone discussed some details of sending troops, and there was no problem anymore. After all, in order to merge with Baiyue and defeat the Huns, Qin Yiren had issued an order long ago. The Qin Dynasty had planned for several years and was quite well prepared.
"Since there is no problem, the general will rush back to Changsha and prepare to march into Lingnan." Qin Yiren said to Wang Jian.
"No." Wang Jian took the order.
At this moment, the footsteps sounded, and Ying Zheng, Ying, Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Wang Ben came in.
"I've met my father." Ying Zheng greeted Qin Yiren.
"Who is he?" Qin Yiren waved his hand and his eyes fell on Wang Ben.
Wang Ben's eyes shone, his eyes fell on Qin Yiren, and he could no longer move away, with an excited look on his face.
Qin Yiren was very wise. He wiped out all countries and unified China, which was a legendary existence for Wang Ben. He was able to see Qin Yiren, so he was so excited.
"Sir, don't be rude." Wang Jian saw Wang Ben's excitement and shouted, "This is too rude."
"Father, he is Wang Ben, the son of the general." Ying Zheng introduced it to Qin Yiren.
"Wang Ben?" Qin Yiren was very surprised, his eyes flashed with a gleam, he looked at Wang Ben and praised: "It's worthy of being a general! Great! Great!"
Although Wang Ben has not yet grown up, he is still very arrogant and makes people like him.
"General, I have borrowed your son. Let him follow the prince." Qin Yiren said to Wang Jian.
Wang Ben is a good general, so he was asked to follow Ying Zheng. Qin Yiren is building a team for Ying Zheng. Once Ying Zheng ascends the throne in the future, he will have a group of his own personnel and will be much smoother.
Although Qin Yiren can leave a group of people for Ying Zheng, who would think there are many talents?
