Chapter 160

Regarding this question, the experience of later generations can be answered. Zhou Chong said: "When I returned to the king, Zhou Chong thought that there were tributaries of the Yellow River in the Hetao area, and some water conservancy projects could be built to introduce these tributaries into farmland."

The King of Qin's eyes shone and said, "Yes, this is a good idea, a good idea! By the way, I have to thank Mr. Zheng for his hard work."

Zhou Chong also had this intention and said, "The king is wise! The king is wise. Zhou Chong thought that it would take a long time to turn the Hetao land into a strategic barrier. It may take only to immigrate to the real border. In addition to promoting civilian garrisons, military garrisons can also be implemented.

"The implementation of military and civilian towns in Hetao was a strategy implemented since the Western Han Dynasty and has long been verified by history.

"Miaomiaomiao!" Before the King of Qin could answer, Wei Liao and Han Fei and others cheered loudly.

The King of Qin smiled and said, "There is no objection, so let's do it like this. Mr. Zhou, what other good solutions are there? You ask."

Zhou Chong replied: "Your Majesty, Zhou Chong thought that the defense of Liaodong should be strengthened and the Donghu should be prevented from disturbing the border."

At that time, the Huns were not the most powerful ethnic minority, and the most powerful was the Donghu. It was not until Maodun destroyed the Donghu that the Huns became the most powerful political group on the grassland.

In history, during the Qin Shihuang War, the Huns had no plan to attack south. However, the Huns were so ambitious that they took advantage of the opportunity of Qin to quell civil strife and launched a large-scale attack. There must be problems in it, and Zhou Chong has always been unable to understand the truth.

However, one thing is obvious, that is, if the Donghu defeats the Huns again, he can adopt a diplomatic offensive against the Donghu, win over the Donghu, and strategically restrain the Huns.

Of course, before Donghu was severely injured, Donghu was very arrogant. If he wanted to form an alliance with Donghu, it was not realistic, so he had to be careful first. This is Zhou Chong's real intention.

"That's true." King Qin agreed: "We have always focused on dealing with the Huns, but ignored the Donghu.

Donghu is very strong, but it has not yet posed a major threat to China. Those who plan to the country must make every effort. They have to guard against this matter, so they will do as Mr. Zhou said."

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Your Majesty. Zhou Chong has some opinions on eliminating the six kingdoms, and he doesn't know whether to talk about it or not."

The King of Qin whispered and said, "You Mr. Zhou, are you still keeping me? What I have to listen to is faults, not good things. Just say it if you have any opinions. Mr. Liaozi, Han Fei and others say it all nicely, it's boring.

It was Mr. Zhou who said something bad. "Sit back on the throne and said, "Mr. Zhou, please speak."

There were so many people who did not raise any objections, but Zhou Chong actually had them. Everyone was very interested. He looked at Zhou Chong with wide eyes and waited for his outstanding opinions.

Zhou Chong responded and said, "Your Majesty, overall, there is no major mistake in destroying the six kingdoms. But Zhou Chong thought there were two small regrets." The fault of the King of Qin had been corrected by Zhou Chong, who knew history, and he could not find it even if he wanted to.

"Repent? What regret?" The King of Qin was very interested.

Zhou Chong explained: "King, Zhou Chong thought that in the process of eliminating the six countries, the cavalry did not use large-scale cavalry, and the cavalry was not used as the main force, but was in an auxiliary position and coordinated infantry combat. This is the first regret."

The King of Qin nodded and said, "The role of cavalry is obvious and has strong maneuverability. The range of strikes is wider and the intensity of strikes is greater. We have always used cavalry as auxiliary forces to cooperate with infantry combat, which is indeed a problem.

Mr. Zhou attacked Handan and Meng Tian used cavalry to destroy the camp of the Youxian King. The role of cavalry has been well verified. This is not a pity. It is a big problem. You all talk about it. How to solve this problem."

Zhou Chong knew very clearly that to solve the Huns problem, he would kill Maodun. Otherwise, China would be poisoned in the next hundred years and many people would die of death.

It was precisely based on this consideration that Zhou Chong seized the opportunity to guide the King of Qin to another direction.

Wei Liao was a great military strategist. When Zhou Chong reminded him, he suddenly woke up and patted his forehead and said, "Yes, yes! The cavalry is not used as an independent military service. This place is indeed the biggest problem in the entire war. If it weren't for Mr. Zhou's mention, it would have been ignored.

The king, in the opinion of Liaozi, should increase investment in cavalry and form more cavalry."

If you want to kill Maodun and to completely solve the problem of the Huns, you must have a large number of cavalry. Zhou Chong immediately responded: "King, if Zhou Chong saw that the Huns were defeated in Hetao, they might not be willing to do so. They are likely to make a comeback. If this is true, the war with the Huns will last for a long time, and the Qin Dynasty should prepare early.

Besides, there is also the powerful Donghu, which also requires cavalry. Therefore, Zhou Chong thought that what Mr. Liaozi said was very reasonable, so he asked the king to investigate clearly.

The biggest regret of Qin Shihuang's attack on the Huns in the north was that he stopped in the Hetao area and did not go deep into the Huns' hearts. It was not until Emperor Wu of Han that he completed this feat.

However, at that time, the Huns were not the most powerful nomadic people, and although the threat was not as great as the level of life and death, Zhou Chong's words were a bit alarmist.

If it were someone else, Zhou Chong's words might not be effective. The King of Qin is the kind of person who never admits defeat and becomes strong when encountering a strong person. He raised his head and sneered: "If the Huns dare to attack the border, I want him to have a chance to come and go."

The ambition of the King of Qin had been aroused, and Zhou Chong took the opportunity to guide him: "Master, Zhou Chong thought it would be better to take the initiative than to wait.

Instead of waiting for the Huns to come and harass and kill, and blood flows into a river, it is better to go deep into the hearts of the Huns and give a fatal blow so that the Huns will never dare to offend the border."

The divine light flashed in the eyes of the King of Qin. Before he could speak, Li Si hurriedly said, "Mr., this matter is very important. If the Qin Dynasty goes deep into the hearts of the Huns, it will definitely exert its strength. This battle will be protracted.

Besides, the Huns have no city guards, and they have a bitter and cold land. They cannot cultivate their land and their people cannot fight. I would like to think about this matter twice."

In history, Li Si had opposed sending troops to the Huns. History has returned, but he still insisted on this.

His words could not be said to be unreasonable, but very reasonable. The King of Qin was walking around without rushing to speak. After a while, he asked, "What do you think Mr. Liaozi?"

Among the people here, Zhou Chong truly understood how harmful the Huns were. How could Wei Liao know the harm caused to China after Maodun unified the grassland, and said: "The king, Liaozi thought that although the Huns were harmful to China, they had been expelled from the Hetao area. The Central Plains had a strategic barrier. If they continued to fight with the Huns, it would be a waste of money and should be stopped in time.



"What do Han Fei think?" asked the King of Qin.

Han Fei thought for a moment and said, "The King, the Battle of Hetao is a desperate battle for China. Now that Hetao is victorious, the Central Plains has a strategic barrier. It is best to stop at the right time. Han Fei thinks what Mr. Liaozi said is right."

The King of Qin glanced at everyone and said, "You all think so? If the Huns did not come to attack the border, it would be fine. If they wanted to attack the border, I would never let them succeed. As for going deep into the hearts of the Huns, the matter is very important, and I still need to make a long-term plan."
