Chapter 159
Wei Liao responded with a sound and said, "The King, in the opinion of Liaozi, the King was able to destroy the six kingdoms in a few years. First, the King was wise and able to manage the law; second, the King appointed talented people and appointed good generals such as Zhou, Wang Jian, Meng Tian, Wang Ben, Nei Shiteng, and Zhang Han; third, internal stability, Han Fei, Li Si, Ganluo and others were responsible for internal affairs and raising food and grass; fourth, they adopted flexibly based on the situation of the six kingdoms. Some won by fighting with force, while others defeated the troops without fighting. The tactics were changing, and the enemy was elusive.
The king, Liaozi thought this was the reason why the king was able to succeed.
The King of Qin nodded and said, "It's the truth. The biggest reason why I can succeed is that I have a group of good generals and wise men around me. Mr. Liaozi, Mr. Zhou, Han Fei, Zhang Liang, Li Si, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, Wang Ben, Wang Ao, Zhang Han, Li Mu, Nei Shiteng, Gan Luo. It is because of you good generals and wise men that I can destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world!"
A historical law: A country's prosperity must have many talents for it, and a country's decline must have talents not in its position! It is reasonable that the King of Qin was able to gather so many wise men and accomplish the great cause of unification.
"The king is the wise! " Everyone said together.
The King of Qin continued: "Mr. Liaozi is telling the truth, and it is also a good thing. It sounds nice. However, I still want to hear something harsh. Mr. Liaozi gives me some advice on the mistakes."
The biggest mistake made by the Qin king in history in the war of unification was to believe Li Xin's words and send 200,000 troops to attack Chu, but the result was that the entire army was wiped out. History began again, and with the assistance of Zhou Chong, this mistake was not made again. The entire unification process was not perfect, but also close to perfection. It was difficult to find a big mistake.
It’s not that there are no mistakes, but that trivial matters are not worth mentioning. They are not allowed to be on the table.
His problem really stumped Wei Liao. Wei Liao pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Liaozi thinks that the king is wise and the soldiers are not in any major mistakes to use their lives. Liaozi really doesn't know."
The King of Qin pointed at Wei Liao and said, "Mr. Liaozi. You are just concerned about saying good things, not bad things. This is not good."
Wei Liao distinguished: "Your Majesty, it's not that Wei Liao is just calculating about good things, but there is no major mistake. You can't even say bad things, so please let the king investigate clearly."
"Okay, okay." King Qin smiled and said, "I am very happy to get your Mr. Liaozi's evaluation. But, no matter how happy you are, you still have to find the problem, Han Fei, you said."
Han Fei stuttered, "King, Han Fei thought there was no major mistake in the process of eliminating the six kingdoms, and it was impossible to say anything about Han Fei."
"Yes. King!" Li Si and the others agreed.
The King of Qin glanced at everyone and said, "You all think so, I am happy. However, I believe that Mr. Zhou will always have different opinions. Mr. Zhou, please say."
To be honest, Zhou Chong was really hard to find a problem, but when he changed his mind, he immediately had an idea and wanted to speak. Ren Chong stepped in, his face full of joy and said, "Come on the King, Hetao Victory!"
These words shocked everyone. Everyone's attention suddenly turned from picking up the problem. King Qin's eyebrows were thrust into his tiger's eyes and said, "Is Hetao a great victory?"
"Yes, Master!" Ren Chong said excitedly: "Master, this is General Li Mu's good news!"
The King of Qin said excitedly: "Hurry, let me show you." He almost snatched the battle report from Ren Chong and read it. He laughed and said, "Get good at fighting."
The fight was good! General Li Mu showed the might of China! King Wuling of Zhao attacked Hu and spread the land for thousands of miles.
It can be called a grand event for China to counterattack against foreign races, but it cannot be compared with the Hetao victory. This battle is the biggest victory for China to counterattack against foreign races. It is amazing, amazing!"
Everyone knows that the Great Wall was built to prevent the Huns, but this is not completely true.
Because the Great Wall built by Qin Shihuang was transformed on the basis of the Great Wall built by Qin, Zhao and Yan, before Qin Shihuang unified China, the Great Wall built by Qin, Zhao and Yan not only prevented the Huns, but also the nomadic peoples in the Donghu and northwest areas.
In order to counter the invasion of these alien races, a group of famous generals attacking Hu, such as Qin Kai, Li Mu, and Meng Tian, emerged.
The first emperor who achieved great success in the process of counterattacking the alien race was undoubtedly King Wuling of Zhao, followed by Qin Shihuang. The most successful one was Emperor Wu of Han, who defeated the Xiongnu who was in his heyday.
The Hetao victory was indeed the most important victory for China to fight against foreign races in history, and it was very energetic. As soon as the King of Qin finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but cheer: "Hetao victory!" The King of Qin was cheering in front of him, which was very rude, but this fact was so wonderful that it would not be possible to not say a few words.
Everyone was happy for a while before they settled down. The King of Qin looked at everyone and said, "From then on, Xianyang in Guanzhong will no longer be threatened by the Huns. I have gained strategic initiative in dealing with the Huns! I am happy, happy, and I am very happy.
However, as the king, I cannot do nothing just by being happy. I will build a city immediately as agreed in advance. I must build the Hetao land into a strategic barrier. Han Fei and Li Si, please arrange this matter and must be as fast as possible!"
Han Feili Si received the order and said, "Abide by the king's order!"
Zhou Chong was about to guide the King of Qin, and the Hetao victory made Zhou Chong's guidance more convincing. Zhou Chong seized the opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thought that building a city in the Hetao area was not enough, and military farming should be implemented."
"Oh, Mr. Zhou, let's talk about it more specifically." The King of Qin was very interested and said: "Just building a city, food and clothing must be recruited from the mainland, which is not a long-term solution. If you can achieve self-sufficiency, it would be even better."
Zhou Chong responded and said, "Your Majesty, the land in Hetao is fertile and the water and grass are lush. It is not only a good place to raise horses, but also a good place to farm. Zhou Chong thought that if military farming was implemented here, the food on the border could be solved. If the food on the border was solved, it would be of great benefit to the Qin Dynasty.
”
The Hetao land is a major land in the north and a small number of places where the grasslands can be farmed. After Emperor Wu of Han captured this place, the military farming system was implemented here, which not only solved the problem of military food in the frontier, but also laid a solid foundation for the decisive battle in the north of the desert.
If there was no Hetao land as a support, if there were no horses raised here, if there were no grain produced here, it would be hard to say whether the decisive battle in the northern part of the land in the spring of the fourth year of Yuanshou would be successful.
It is really hard to say whether epic songs such as "Chhanyu Escape at Night" and Fenglangjuxu can emerge and be passed down through the ages. Zhou Chong was familiar with the strategic measures taken here by the Western Han Dynasty, so he suggested to the King of Qin to farm.
