The King of Qin sighed: "Mr. Zhou always looks at the plans for thousands of years and considers them fundamentally. It's rare! Mr. Zhou continued."

Zhou Chong, a modern person, naturally knew the reasons for the fascinating Qin Dynasty, and also knew the pros and cons of Chinese history. He made every effort to guide the Qin King, who had a sense of transcendence to the times, to create a new future for Chinese history. The King of Qin's words are a pertinent comment from the perspective of thousands of generations.

"The State of Chu was first established in Jingxiang, gradually developing south, west and east, and finally devoted its main energy to the development north and competing for hegemony with the Central Plains.

"Zhou Chong began to express his opinion, saying: "Chu State concentrated on developing northward and competing for hegemony with other countries. Although this restricted Chu State's development to the south, especially Chu State's march into Lingnan, if Chu State first developed Lingnan and then went north to compete for hegemony, the situation might be different.

”

The King of Qin interrupted Zhou Chong's words and praised: "The State of Chu is a bit short-sighted, which is far inferior to my Great Qin.

Our Great Qin concentrated on annexing the Western Rong for hundreds of years, until all the Western Rong became the people of our Great Qin, and we concentrated on developing eastward and fighting for the dominance of the world with the nations.

However, the Chu State was different. The land of Lingnan was rich and the people of Lingnan were available. However, the monarchs of Chu State did not take the defensive north and focused on developing the south. Instead, they did not care about the affairs of the Lingnan and concentrated on going north, compete for hegemony with the nations, and showed off their temporary aura, and made a mistake.

King Wen of Chu, King Cheng of Chu, and King Zhuang of Chu, these wise monarchs of Chu state strongly advocated going north. Although they achieved certain success, the people of the country celebrated, which was really unwise in the long run. Mr. Zhou's words are witty words, and I agree very much."

Looking at the long term, it has always been the excellent quality of the King of Qin, and this excellent quality was once again well reflected. If the State of Chu concentrates on developing in the east, and like the State of Qin, it will be even stronger, then the State of Chu will become stronger.

Even a hero like Qin Shihuang will be scared when facing such an opponent.

"The king is the wise! " Everyone has to admire the strategic vision of the King of Qin.

Zhou Chong continued: "What the king said is very reasonable, and Zhou Chong also believed that the Chu State went north to fight for hegemony was a failed strategic decision.

However, this also has a positive result, that is, Chu's sense of identity with the Central Plains civilization has greatly improved, and the difficulties of the king in destroying Chu have been greatly reduced.

"Chu State is known as a country of five thousand miles and has always been strong. The Central Plains countries were trembling with the Chu State. Although Duke Huan of Qi was the leader of the five princes. Although Guan Zhong was called a sage, Zhaoling's army returned ineffectively, which made Chu State even more arrogant.

It was not until the Battle of Chengpu of Duke Wen of Jin that the Chu State had slightly suppressed its momentum to go north. Later, the Chu State successfully avenged its shame and retreated to the various countries.

"Until the Qin Dynasty advanced eastward, Bai Qi attacked Yingdu in one fell swoop, burning down the tombs of the monarchs of Chu, and the Chu State declined from then on. He was in a slump.

In the face of the military power of the Qin Dynasty, the arrogant country of Chu also lowered its arrogant head and had to move eastward many times until it established its capital to Shouchun.

"In the view of Zhou Chong, the Jingxiang land was an important place where the Chu State had been operating for more than a thousand years. The land was fertile and the population was large, and it was one of the two fundamental important places of the Chu State.

Another fundamental important place is the Huaihe River Basin, which was established here after the Chu State lost its capital. Therefore, Zhou Chong believed that the destruction of Chu should be divided into two groups, one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one, taking Shouchun to the other.

Without these two strategic centers, the State of Chu will be powerless."

Wang Jian took the lead in expressing his agreement and said, "The king, what Mr. Zhou said is very reasonable. I think it is a careful strategy. I also think that if the Chu State loses the land of Jingxiang and Jianghuai, the Chu State will no longer be Chu State. Now Western Chu is in Jingchu.

The east and west are located in the Jianghuai area, and the two factions are invincible. This is the reason why the Qin army divided into two groups and directly attacked the important areas, as long as they captured these two places, things in other places would be easier to deal with. Maybe they could defeat Chu without fighting."

"Yes, yes! Mr. Zhou said so well, we have no objection." Meng Wu and the others agreed.

The King of Qin smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou can always speak out the voices of the people. I guess Mr. Liaozi and Han Fei have no objections, right? Are you right?"

Wei Liao and Han Feiqi said: "The king is Shengming, and we think so too."

Zhou Chong continued: "There are many canals and rivers in the Jianghuai area. It is convenient for boating. In Zhou Chong's opinion, the navy should be invested. On the one hand, it can support the army through water, and on the other hand, it can train the navy."

The King of Qin slammed his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou's words are exactly what I think, and it is imperative to join the navy. Since the establishment of the navy, it has not experienced actual combat, and it is not clear whether there is any problem. It is good to test it in a war.

Suo Fang, you have two tasks, one is to go to war with the Chu navy and defeat them. The other is to support the army. Can you do it?"

Suo Fangteng stood up and said, "Go back to the king, no problem, I guarantee to complete the task."

"Sit down!" The King of Qin waved to Suo Fang to sit down and said, "With your words, I will feel relieved. This time, I will destroy Chu and go through water and land. Do you have any suggestions? Let me tell you.

Why, there are no more? You are gone, I still have a few questions. Mr. Zhou proposed that the navy participate in the war, with the purpose of testing the navy and preparing for the future march of Lingnan. Destroying Chu and marching into Lingnan are one. Once the Chu State destroys the army immediately enters Lingnan, so I ask you to prepare to march into Lingnan in addition to completing the destruction of Chu.

Is there any problem?"

It is a foregone conclusion to march into Lingnan, and everyone has no objection.

The King of Qin paced back and forth and said, "The last question I have to choose a commander for the army. Who do you think is suitable to take responsibility? I decided to let Wang Jian, the Western Army be the main force, Meng Wu, and go straight to Jingxiang.

The Eastern Army was dominated by Mr. Zhou, and the Inner Shiteng was the deputy, and he went straight to Shouchun. The actions of the two armies in Chu were all dispatched by Mr. Zhou, and you must all listen to Mr. Zhou's order. Mr. Zhou's order is my will."

Wang Jian Mengwu Nei Shiteng took the order and said, "I obey the king's order."

The entire Chu destruction operation was commanded by Zhou Chong, who had hundreds of thousands of people. Zhou Chong never dreamed of it. He was shocked and hurriedly said, "King, Zhou Chong is not good at fighting, so he really dare not be aware of it. Please ask the King to choose another talent."

The King of Qin vetoed: "Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be too humble. You are the one who commands the army carefully. First of all, you have a good reputation in Chu State. If you lead the army, you can get the support of the military and civilian areas of Chu State.
