Chapter 60
"Look, this Li Mu has asked me again." The King of Qin handed the secret report in his hand to Wei Liao and asked, "What do you think Mr. Liaozi?"
After Wei Liao took it and read it, the King of Qin said, "You all look." He handed it to Wang Jian, and said, "The capture of King Zhao's military morale and people's sentiment is the heaviest blow to the Zhao State's military morale and people's sentiment. It is not surprising that Li Mu helped Prince Jia as the king."
The King of Qin nodded and agreed: "Mr. Liaozi said it, I think so too. General Wang, General Meng, how do you think it is appropriate to deal with it?"
Wang Jian said calmly: "After King Zhao was captured, I have been thinking about this. I think Li Mu's move was nothing more than to restore the morale and morale of Zhao and make the people's hearts and morale support.
Li Mu's move will have some effect, but its effect may be very limited. Is there any more severe blow than the attack that King Zhao was captured by Mr. Zhou to Zhao State? I think there is no."
Meng Wu had not spoken white and moved first, saying, "Master, what General Wang said is exactly what I think. I think the most important thing for our army at present should be concentrated on eating Sima Shang before talking about it.
Sima Shang has a strong sense of offense and defense transformation. Although his army surrounded me with hundreds of thousands of armies, it cannot be taken lightly. It is better to eat it first."
The inner master stood up in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, General Meng's words make sense.
I am frank, and I think Sima Shang is a rare general. Under the pressure of dozens of our army, he resisted it and set up camps. We still have no choice but to do anything to him.
I think we should take the last blow when King Zhao was captured and Zhao's morale was low, and we will never let him recover."
This is indeed a wonderful idea. As long as the news of King Zhao's capture is revealed, the Zhao army in the encirclement will be unwilling to fight again. How great is this benefit? The smart Qin King will not have imagined.
The King of Qin nodded and praised: "What the Insider General said makes sense. But let this go in advance and discuss it later. Let's discuss how to deal with Li Mu's move."
Nei Shiteng was a simple general, and did not understand the meaning of the King of Qin, and said, "Your Majesty, what else is there to discuss? Water comes to the trench, soldiers come to the generals to block it, and Sima Shang is destroyed."
The King of Qin smiled and said, "Okay! General Inner Historian has such a sense of seeking war. I am very comforted.
General of the Inner History, I am the king of the Qin Dynasty. I cannot just focus on the Western Front, but also see other places. As the saying goes, those who want to plan for one region must first plan the overall situation. According to my opinion, Li Mu will inevitably take action in other aspects. If I don’t plan these aspects first, I will first plan for these aspects.
Just caring about the Western Front, I will be too disrespectful to the king.”
After saying something, Wei Liao, Wang Jian, Meng Wu nodded. The Nei Shiteng was embarrassed and said, "Your Majesty, I am a rough man, but I didn't expect the king to think so far. I apologize."
The King of Qin smiled and said: "You don't have to blame yourself, you are a general, and you are not wrong to stare at the Western Front. There is a general like you who never forgets to fight at all times. I am happy. Mr. Liaozi, tell me how to deal with Li Mu's move."
Wei Liao touched his beard and said, "The king asked, but Liaozi dared not speak. Liaozi thought that Li Mu's move certainly had the effect of stabilizing the hearts of the army and the people, and gave the remnants of Zhao's country a refuge. This is a matter of nothing, and we can't change it even if we want to.
However, Liaozi thought that a little trick in the defeat would be difficult to revive. The morale of Zhao State's military is difficult to restore to the past. Zhao State has always been scared of hearing the name of the Great Qin. If this happens, Li Mu will not have no way to turn things around.
The King of Qin nodded and said, "Speak."
Wei Liao continued: "Liuzi is not worried about Zhao State, but Qi State."
Nei Shiteng couldn't quite understand it again, and asked strangely: "Mr. Liaozi, what you said is a bit mysterious. Why do I, Nei Shiteng, listen so confused?"
The King of Qin waved his hand and said, "Don't interrupt. Let Mr. Liaozi finish his words."
Wei Liao walked to the map and said, "Please look, king. This is Zhao State, this is Qi State. Qi and Zhao State are adjacent to Qi State. For Qi State, Zhao State is a barrier to Qi State.
The State of Qi has not fought with our Great Qin for so many years. Although it is related to our Great Qin's strategy of engaging in distant and attacking near and near, another important reason is that the State of Qi has Zhao as a shield for him, and has not yet tried the power of our Great Qin for the time being.
"If Zhao State is destroyed, Qin Qi will border and Qi State will lose its barrier. King Qi is incompetent, but with such a big change, as long as it is not a blind man, he will definitely not be at peace in his heart.
If Prince Jia sent someone to Qi State and said that he would use the method of losing his lips and cold teeth to ask Qi State to send troops to fight against Qin, then the problem would be great."
Wang Jian agreed and said: "What Mr. Liaozi said is very reasonable. Although the country of Taigong of Qi was transformed by the Tian family in the reign of Qi, Qi was still a big country.
For decades, Qi State has had a good relationship with our Great Qin, but in the face of a drastic change in the situation, it is difficult to ensure that Qi State will not change its national policy, form an alliance with Zhao, and jointly fight against our strong Qin. This matter is not to be considered."
Meng Wu continued: "When our Qin Dynasty destroyed Zhao State, the army was approaching the border of Qi State, the pressure on Qi State would increase. The King of Qi would definitely find a way to prevent it from happening.
If he wants to turn his ideas into reality, forming an alliance with Zhao is the best way. If you want to defeat Gongzi Jia, you must first defeat the Qi and Zhao alliance."
Nei Shiteng thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, but Qi and Daqin have a good relationship, so how can they change at any time?"
The King of Qin enlightened him: "General of the Inner History, have you forgotten how the Zhi family was destroyed back then? The Zhi family was powerful and joined forces with Han and Wei to destroy the Zhao family. When they succeeded, they told Zhao family that they could lose their lips and teeth. Han and Wei in turn formed an alliance with Zhao family, and destroyed the Zhi family in one step. Only then did the three families divide Jin, and the later Han, Zhao and Wei Kingdoms.
"It is right that Qi State has a good relationship with our Great Qin. The King of Qi also sent an army to help me destroy Zhao. If the King of Qi feels the pressure of our Great Qin army, he will definitely abandon our Great Qin and form an alliance with Zhao State and send troops to fight against Qin.
General Meng said it well, if you want to defeat Prince Jia, you must first defeat the Qi and Zhao alliance. Mr. Liaozi, what can you do to defeat?"
Wei Liao smiled slightly and said, "Liuzi thought that this matter could be on one person. As long as the king gave more gold and silk, this matter would be nine points."
The King of Qin smiled and said, "You are talking about Housheng? In my opinion, it will take hard work for Mr. Ao to go to the treasury to withdraw the gold and silk, and there is no need to report it to me."
"The king is the wise man!" Wei Liao had to accept the great ambition of the King of Qin.
The King of Qin walked to the map and pointed to the map and said, "In my opinion, after Li Mu stabilized his morale, the next step would be to lead his army westward and attempt to attack our army with Sima Shang. How could I let him succeed?
