Chapter 465 Zu doesn’t care! Brother, you are an unjust brother!
In the evening of that day, the fool personally led a group of messengers and rushed out of Helu City with their horses and whips raised.
During the march, two Qin army messengers passed by each other.
However, carrying urgent military orders, the two messengers did not chat. They just bowed their hands and rushed to their destinations.
February 21, the twelfth year of King Qin’s reign.
Xianyang City, Imperial Study Room.
Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "I'll remonstrate again, only take down the west of the line of Cai, Shouchun, and Zhaoguan."
"Incorporate Guangling, Huaiyin and other cities into the Han ditch All the other lands are left to the Chu State. "
"In this way, the Chu State can enter the Huaihe River from the Yangtze River, and then go north from Huaiyin to threaten the Qi State and force the Qi State to continue to serve Qin!"
“Otherwise, Qi State will definitely regard us as Da Qin’s enemy!”
Feng Quji immediately refuted: "Qi is weak!"
"Chu is strong!"
"How could we, Great Qin, give up destroying Chu just because we are afraid of being enemies with Qi? A great opportunity!”
“Once we, the Qin Dynasty, withdraw our troops and leave the land of Wu to the Chu State, the people of Chu will surely regain their strength. Twenty years later, the Chu State will once again become the stubborn enemy of our Great Qin State!”
Kui Zhuang bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, if we really capture all of Chu, our Qin Dynasty will face a serious shortage of officials."
"Not to mention great unification, we can't even maintain the most basic rule of law!"
"This will inevitably cause chaos in the Chu land, and will even make the people of Chu become alienated from us, the Qin Dynasty."
"King Wanwang, think twice!"
Li Si came out and shook his head: "You are contradicting me!"
"The training of officials requires time, population, and even more talent. ”
"By seizing more territories and more people as soon as possible, our country, Qin, will be able to train more officials faster." The country has also trained soldiers to fight again!"
"After a big war, the officials we have carefully trained in Da Qin will definitely suffer a lot of casualties, and we will be back to the dilemma of a shortage of officials!"
A number of courtiers were arguing and spitting in the imperial study.
Wang Ben sat crookedly on the soft couch, indifferent to what was happening in front of him.
Since the military reports of the great victories in Echeng and Shouchun City, such scenes have become a daily repertoire.
As military reports came back one after another from Ying Chengyu's headquarters, the debate between the DPRK and the Central Committee on whether to take the opportunity to destroy Chu became louder and louder.
Yesterday’s military report in which Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian jointly asked for orders to attack Helu City made the dispute between the DPRK and China reach a fever pitch!
But in Wang Ben’s view, the outcome was already determined.
Looking at Ying Zheng's solemn gaze, Wang Ben adjusted his figure to a comfortable position and muttered in a low voice: "When Aweng returns home in triumph, we will discuss it with Aweng."
< br>
"Be sure to make it the ancestral motto of the Wang family not to go on an expedition with Lord Chang'an!"
"Aweng was just going to Chencheng to intercept the Chu army, but this time he is going to be responsible for the destruction of the country!"
“How terrifying!”
“I, the Wang family, must act more steadily in the future!”
On the high platform, Ying Zheng finally spoke: “ Everyone understands what you love.”
As Ying Zheng opened his mouth, all the courtiers in the hall shut up and stood respectfully facing Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng continued: "Today the Qin Dynasty is short of food and grass, there is a shortage of officials, and the population is not abundant."
"Of course, Chu is a powerful country!"
"Destroy Chu Don’t miss this opportunity!”
“I know that if we destroy Chu now, the situation in Da Qin will become even more difficult.”
"But difficulties can be overcome!"
Ying Zheng knew all the difficulties mentioned by Wei Zhuang, Wei Liao, Han Cang and others.
But a quick look at Ying Zheng’s governing policy shows that Ying Zheng has the ruthlessness and courage to move forward in an unstoppable manner!
In the original history, in the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, Qianling County had a designated number of 101 officials. In fact, there were only 50 people on the staff, leaving a vacancy of 51 people.
Most of these fifty official officials are disabled people from the old Qin area, as well as old Qin civil servants, dignitaries and the children of powerful people who were exiled here for crimes.
Forgetting the small number and poor quality, thirty-five of these fifty people were not in the county because they needed to perform corvee atonement and were unable to go to work.
In Qianling County in the 26th year of the Qin Dynasty, there were actually only 25 officials performing official duties, which was only a quarter of the rated number of officials!
This is only the shortage of officials. The shortage of soldiers, soldiers and thieves, etc. is even more serious.
In this year, a group of thirty thieves appeared in Qianling County.
A gang with the size of community security was so arrogant that it directly attacked the Qianling County Government Office, but Qianling County could only defend the County Government Office.
When the thieves gang was unable to attack for a long time and retreated from Qianling County, Qianling County did not even dare to pursue them!
You know, Qianling County is a relatively prosperous county in the Jianghan area.
You can only imagine how bad the situation in other counties can be!
But Zu doesn’t care!
When Da Qin's grassroots officials and grassroots troops were scarce to the point of almost anarchy, Ying Zheng, who had become Zulong, still did not stop the pace of expansion.
Two years later and six years later, Da Qin launched the Qin Attack on Baiyue and the Qin Attack on the Xiongnu respectively, continuing to expand its territory!
Now, the shortage of grassroots officials in Da Qin is far less severe than it was in the 26th year of the Qin Dynasty. How could Ying Zheng stop his conquests because of the shortage of officials? impossible!
Looking up at Ying Zheng’s firm gaze, Wei Liao sighed in his heart.
If the king always behaves like this, what will happen to Great Qin in the future!
Wei Liao suddenly had a desire to leave.
He can grow up with this country, but he really doesn’t want to be buried with this country!
Just when Ying Zheng finished laying the groundwork and was about to tell his decision, a burst of shouting came from outside the imperial study.
"Your Majesty! An urgent report of the military situation of Lord Chang'an!"
Ying Zheng forgot to say the words before he spoke, and immediately ordered: "Pass!"
The palace door opened, and the fool floated into the imperial study with the support of two eunuchs.
Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly trembled: "Is Mr. Chang'an okay?!"
For this family soldier who has followed Ying Chengyu for many years and repeatedly used his body to block Ying Chengyu's arrows. General, Ying Zheng has a deep memory.
Ying Chengyu actually sent hundreds of generals to be responsible for the summons. No wonder Ying Zheng didn’t think too much!
The fool broke away from the eunuch and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty! Chang'an Jun is fine."
"The army report from the two armies of Lord Chang'an and General Jian is here."
"The handwriting of Lord Chang'an is here."
"Please have your Majesty read it!"
Han Fugang As soon as he entered the door, Meng Yi walked down the platform consciously.
After the fool took out the two bamboo tubes from his arms, Meng Yi took the bamboo tubes directly, verified the clay seal letter and forwarded them to Ying Zheng.
After pouring out the bamboo slips in the bucket, Ying Zheng couldn't wait to read it.
[Report to your Majesty, on February 6, the twelfth year, our two armies joined forces and went east to pursue the defeated Chu army. 】
[On February 13, the twelfth year, our two troops arrived at Helu City, the capital of Chu. The Lord of Chang'an went to Helu City to discuss a peace treaty with the King of Chu, but was rejected by the King of Chu. Later, Chang'an Jun's troops set up camp around Helu City, and General Jian's troops set up camp twenty miles west of Helu City. They reported the battle situation to the court and waited for the king's order. 】
【Before Wang Ling arrived, our troops had not made the slightest move, and had always maintained a siege but not an attack! 】
【Yes! On the evening of February 15th in the twelfth year of the twelfth year, Zhuang Qiu, the commander-in-chief of Chu's Zhao'an army, sent envoys to our army's camp to discuss the defection. He also tried to deceive Chu by attacking our army's camp at night and help our army enter the city. 】
[Because the night attack arrived first and the envoys arrived later, the Lord of Chang'an did not know that Zhuang Qiu wanted to surrender, so he pursued and killed them in order to weaken the Chu army's power. 】
【But I never thought about it! Due to the civil strife in Chu, our army was forced into Helu City by the Chu army. 】
【In order to prevent our soldiers from dying in battle, Chang'an Jun was forced to continue attacking Helu City. 】
[On February 16, the twelfth year, the Lord of Chang'an was forced to defeat the Chu army and capture Helu City. 】
[In this battle, 32,620 soldiers of Chang'an Jun's army died in the battle, 48,191 of the Chu army were killed in the formation, and Qu He, the prime minister of Chu, and other officers were killed in the formation. Eighteen people held Gui and above, and captured six people including Huan Yin, Xiong Chang and others who held Gui and above. 】
[King of Chu, please surrender! 】
[On February 16, the twelfth year of the twelfth year, Prince Cheng of Chang'an of Qin and General Jian of Qin went to Helu City to pay homage to the king! Please forgive me! 】
The bulging bamboo slips carry Wang Jian’s fear and Ying Chengyu’s grievance.
But Ying Zheng’s eyes widened after seeing it.
You have already captured the city before the order to attack the city has been given?
Ying Zheng suppressed his lips and handed the bamboo slip to Meng Yi: "My thoughts are with you all!"
Meng Yi quickly took the bamboo slip and recited the words on the bamboo slip in the loudest voice.
Following Meng Yi's words, all the officials in the palace were speechless.
By observing Ying Zheng's expression, they knew that Ying Chengxuan's battle would go smoothly.
But they never expected that it would go so smoothly!
It only took most of a day to capture Helu City?
That is the capital of Chu State!
They thought that Ying Chengyu had conquered Xicheng fast enough.
Co-author Ying Chengyu can be even faster!
After Meng Yi finished reciting, the imperial study room was silent for several breaths before an uproar broke out:
"Fighted it down? Now Helu City was defeated? That was the capital of the Chu Kingdom! It could be conquered in half a day!"
"Chang'an Lord deserves to be a famous general in the world! I really can't defeat him. I am ashamed of myself for fighting like this!”
“While we were debating with the king whether to attack Helu City, Lord Chang’an had already captured Helu City. So what are we waiting for these days? What are you arguing about!"
"Chang'an Jun is certainly brave, but his words... he is worthy of being a lobbyist!"
The corners of all the generals' mouths were twitching.
They have become accustomed to Ying Chengyu's quick fighting style.
But they cannot accept that Ying Chengyu is apologizing while destroying the country!
Forced to have no choice but to destroy the country and capture the king?
Can this be done by force?
How come no one forces this general to destroy the country!
I’m so worried, Mr. Chang’an!
Wei Liao and other courtiers lamented in their hearts.
They were just trying to persuade Ying Zheng, but they ignored that the one leading the troops on the front line was Ying Chengyu!
Once Changan Jun comes out of the cage, can he hold him back?
Even if they persuaded Ying Zheng, they couldn't hold Ying Chenglong back!
The ministers had different thoughts, but Ying Zheng had already opened the second bamboo tube and took out Ying Chengyu's handwriting with great expectation.
【Brother! I confessed that I had thought of conquering Helv City, but I had no intention of conquering Helv Palace. 】
【I just wanted to force the King of Chu to surrender like during the Battle of Shouchun City. I really never thought about capturing the King of Chu! 】
【This battle has developed to this point, and everyone is forced to have no choice. 】
【My brother is really wronged! I died unjustly! ┭┮﹏┭┮】
[Brother will definitely not be angry, right?ヾ(▽)】
【Brother will definitely not be angry! ()】
