Qin Official

"Today, one-third of the world has already taken shape."

Because it had been abandoned for too long, the wormwood had not yet been cleared from the stone crevices in the Congtai Hall, but Kuai Che did not dislike it and walked around chatting.

He doesn't need a map, the situation in the world seems to be hidden in his chest!

"The first was divided into the Qin Dynasty, and was called the Northern Qin. Although many counties and counties were lost in the past six months, the foundation of Guanzhong is still there. There are Shuofang, Yunzhong, Yanmen, and Dai counties in the north of Guanzhong, and Huma's Rao. There are Taiyuan, Hedong, Shangdang, Hanoi, Sanchuan, and Nanyang in the east as barriers, and Nanyang in the south. The fifteen counties are intact."

"In Yingchuan, Dongjun, Linzi, Changshan, Guangyang, Yuyang, Shanggu, Youbeiping, Liaodong, Liaoxi and other places, although there are many heroes doing things, there are still officials who honor the orders of the second generation and protect them in the county government. , to fight against it.”

"So half of the world is still in the hands of Northern Qin. It covers an area of ​​thousands of miles, has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, five thousand chariots, and tens of thousands of horses. It is only somewhat scattered, but it is enough to maintain the empire."

After talking about the so-called "Northern Qin", Kuai Che talked about another major force.

"The second group is Heifu's Northern Expeditionary Army. Although he rebelled against Qin and claimed that he wanted to conquer Jingnan in the north, he still regarded himself as a Qin official. Since he was based in Nanjun, we call it... Southern Qin!"

"There are four Lingnan counties in the south of the Southern Qin Dynasty, where Yue soldiers were recruited as soldiers; there are two counties in Jiangdong in the east, and thousands of ships and ships cross the river; in the west, Bashu is taken, and millions of grains and grains are obtained; in the center, there are five counties in Jingzhou, and Heifu has quite a lot of local people. Support; thousands of miles away, Chen Ping and Cao Shen of Jiaodong also responded."

"So far, Southern Qin has captured fourteen counties, with an area of ​​more than 5,000 miles, a million households, 200,000 soldiers, thousands of chariots, and ten thousand horses. These are the qualifications of an overlord. Coupled with the reputation of Heifu, Among them, Han Xin and others are good at conquering and fighting, and no one in the world can match them!"

Not everyone has the ability to see the overall situation. Listening to Kuai Che's praise of Hei Fu's power, Chen Sheng regretted parting ways with Wu Guang for a moment.

"The third is divided into the six kingdoms of restoration."

At this time, Kuai Che walked up to Chen Yu, cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Chu Shangzhu's national title started from Huainan, and fought to drive north. As for Pengcheng, he took advantage of the situation, took Huaiyang, attacked Dangjun, and shocked the Central Plains. However, looking at its affiliation, it was only Jiujiang, Donghai, Sishui, Chenjun, and Dangjun. Although half of the county and Langya were served by the Chu people, the number of dead was only one hundred thousand, Mr. Chen, am I right?"

This was a fact, but Kuai Che was so well-informed that Chen Yu was horrified. There was a possibility that this person might be secretly providing information to Chu State.

"No one in Shandong was stronger than Chu in founding the country. Except for Chu, Zhao was second in strength. Zhao had already captured Julu and Handan. Qi's strength was equal to that of Zhao. Peng Yue occupied Xuejun and Jibei and wanted to attack Linzi; Han and Wei were even more powerful. Next, Han Fu was established in Xu County (Xuchang, Henan Province). Zhang Liang and Han Cheng led more than a thousand people to the west of Han and captured several cities. The Northern Qin Dynasty repeatedly captured them and sent troops to and from Yingchuan. Wei established its kingdom in Linji. I guess Zhang Er wants to go north to take Dongjun, right?"

"As for the Yan Kingdom, the sons, princes and grandsons of Yan were all executed by Qin. Although Han Guang raised troops to the valley and Zang Tu rose from Yuyang, Guangyang County resisted stubbornly and was not able to recover Yan..."

This was the first time Chen Yu heard about Yandi.

"In short, the six countries added together can be counted as one point."

Kuai Che gave an overview and made the complicated world situation very clear!

He handed over to Chen Yu again: "Mr. Chen, who do you think is the strongest among these three?"

Needless to say, the Six Kingdoms had just been restored, so they were definitely at the bottom. Chen Yu mused: "Northern Qin should be the strongest. Mr. Kuai just said that there are more than 20 counties in Northern Qin, with a large population and soldiers, and they are related to China." , according to the country with four fortresses, and is surrounded by mountains, there is a danger of one hundred and two..."

It is precisely because of the fear of Qin's power that anti-Qin heroes from all over the country clamored to "kill Qin", otherwise they would not be able to sleep well all day.

But Kuai Che had a different view.

"Just looking at the counties, household registrations, and soldiers, it is true that the north outnumbers the south. But let me say that after the Battle of Xiangyang, the Northern Expedition was in decline, and the south had all the advantages!"

"The Northern Qin Dynasty suffered from internal strife, and its generals withered away. Only one king, Ben, had an army of two to three hundred thousand, struggling to support himself in Guandong."

"In order to concentrate his troops against the Southern Qin Dynasty, Wang Ben sat back and watched the eastern counties rebel against the Qin Dynasty and refused to save the Qin Dynasty. He stormed the Han River in Xiangyang for several months, but with no success. Instead, the Nan Qin's surprise soldiers burned the grain roads and severely damaged his vitality. I heard that, Shu County has also rebelled against Qin, and Feng Jie is trapped in Ba County, and his entire army may have been annihilated."

"My spirit was defeated by the dangerous fortress, and the food was exhausted in the inner palace. The people were extremely resentful and had nothing to rely on. The morale of the Northern Qin Dynasty was lost, so they could only retreat to Nanyang and Hanzhong. However, Wang Ben not only had to resist the Southern Qin offensive, but also It is really difficult to prevent Chu, Wei, and Han from attacking cities and territories in the Central Plains."

"Even though Wang Ben is the most famous general in the world, he has no way to make a comeback. What's more, the world has been suffering from the Qin Dynasty for a long time. If the second generation changes his ways, there is still a possibility of revival. But I heard that he broke his promise one after another, and the land rent was reduced a bit, but The burden of corvee duties has increased several times, and the people are full of resentment and hope that the second generation will fall."

To put it bluntly, Northern Qin is like a giant that is huge but full of injuries. It has too many enemies to face and too much accumulated resentment. It is faltering, and Kuai Che is not optimistic about it.

"The Southern Qin Dynasty was not the case. It was booming. Hei Fu loved the people and cherished the troops, and fought steadily. While holding on to Jianghan, he sent people to the east of the Yangtze River to enter Bashu. He had defeated Wang Ben's spirit and captured the corner. Next, we only need to Detain Wang Ben's main force in Nanyang, and send partial divisions and Bashu troops to fight for Hanzhong. After taking Hanzhong, the Northern Expeditionary Army will go out from Ziwu, Baoxie and other roads, cross the mountains and cross the Wei River, and within a few months, the troops will fight under Xianyang! This is a serious problem for the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Qin Dynasty."

Zhao Xie looked at Li Zuoche, who was the most proficient in military strategy in the hall. Li Zuoche nodded and agreed with Kuai Che's view.

Speaking of Hei Fu, Kuai Che was surprised. He once used a vicious trick to lure Lu Ao into Xianyang, and deceived Qin Shihuang by saying "Hei Fu is the one who destroyed Qin", which caused the monarch and his ministers to turn against each other.

I thought that Heifu was going to die, but unexpectedly, this man was not a loyal minister. He had no intention of suffering death, so he faked his death and hid, brazenly raised his troops and took over the whole south. In just half a year, he had become the king. This is Kuai Che Unexpected.

He continued: "In short, the Northern Qin did more harm than the Southern Qin. If the South is strong, the North will be weak, and if the North is strong, the South will be weak. The situation is not mutually exclusive, just like two tigers fighting against each other."

"At this time, the six countries have two choices. For the slogan of 'Kill the violent Qin', help the south to attack the north, or they can each occupy their own territory and watch the north and the south fight."

Kuai Che said: "If the policy of the Chu State is followed, the princes gather their troops in the Central Plains, attack Sanchuan in the west, and enter the Han Valley. Wang Ben will definitely send troops north to stop it. The six countries may be defeated. Even if they are not defeated, they may even successfully enter the pass and seize it. In Xianyang, the temples of the Qin State were burned down, and it was difficult for us to gain a foothold in the long term. The Northern Expeditionary Army would take the opportunity to enter Guanzhong from Wuguan and Hanzhong, and the Qin people would definitely bring pots of pulp to welcome them to help them expel the six countries, and the black man would finally get the advantage of the fishermen. "

"In this way, Qin unified the south, and Southern Qin has captured Guanzhong. It will use the favorable situation to add troops to the six countries."

"At that time, Heifu personally led the people from Guanzhong out of Hangu, and ordered a general to lead the Jingzhou army to Wan, Luo, and Jiangdong. He crossed the river and attacked Jiujiang. The coming force will be more powerful than Wang Jian and Wang Ben's father and son who destroyed the six kingdoms. Violently, the restored Six Kingdoms may not survive ten years this time, and they will be wiped out by the Black Man within a year and a half!"

After finishing speaking, Kuai Che spread his hands and asked everyone: "Sudden rise and sudden death, and the destruction of the country. Is this what the king and the generals want to see?"

Zhao Xie shook his head: "Of course not."

Li Zuoche also said: "Mr. Kuai's words are reasonable. For the current plan, the six countries should each seize neighboring lands to consolidate themselves. When all the prefectures and counties in Guandong belong to the six countries, then Chu will be the leader of the alliance and allied forces will be with the six countries. Southern Qin resists and allows Northern Qin to protect the center. Only in this way can we achieve a three-pointed tripartite balance of power!"

Lu Goujian finally answered: "Of course, therefore, Zhao State may not be able to send troops south to attack Hangu with Chu State to the west!"

Zhao Xie said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, this is the attitude of the State of Zhao. I hope that the above will be replied to Major General Xiang of the State of Chu to remind him not to rush westward and end up taking advantage of Southern Qin!"

How could Chen Yu not understand? Today's meeting in Congtai, Kuai Che's eloquent talk was a trap set up for him. It was to make Zhao State reject Chu State. Zhao people were busy expanding their territory, so they didn't have time to go to Hangu Pass with Chu State. Go play!

He was a little confused. Things were completely different from what he expected. Just when he didn't know what to do, there was a voice from the end of the palace.

"I deeply agree with what Mr. Kuai said. To resist the violent Qin, we can only fight within a hundred miles, so why go thousands of miles away?"

Chen Yu turned around and saw that it was Chen Sheng who had escorted him to Zhao Di. This kid had been listening silently for a long time, and then suddenly appeared, which was shocking.

Chen Sheng stepped forward and saluted Zhao Xie and others: "Foreign minister Chen Sheng is from Yangcheng and is the leader of the Chu army."

Li Zuoche nodded: "What do you think Commander Chen has to say?"

Chen Sheng said: "When I went north from Baimajin, I only heard that Zhao State only had two counties, Handan and Julu. Hengshan and Guangyang in the north, Hanoi in the south, and Shangdang in the west were still the counties of Qin. Why should Zhao State Why don't you seek the distance instead of the near, and leave the nearby enemies alone without attacking them, and then go to Hangu Pass?"

"Chen Sheng has always believed that General Xiang's strategy is undesirable. He has repeatedly warned him, but he has not listened. I have heard that good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to serve. Chen Sheng is willing to submit thousands of people under his command to the State of Zhao and help the king. Skip the surrounding counties!”

The generals of other countries suddenly offered to surrender, and everyone in Zhao was a little surprised. Chen Sheng looked at Chen Yu and nodded to him.

"What Chen Sheng said is absolutely true!"

Chen Yu also realized that the two of them went north to realize their ambitions. Now that their mission has failed, Zhao State is unwilling to work with Chu State. If the two of them go back in despair, given Xiang Ji's temper, even if he doesn't kill them, I'm afraid it will also be completely left out.

Rather than go back and suffer, it's better to stay in the north and maybe even get a title of lord!

Chen Yu gritted his teeth and said: "Chen Yu is not from Chu, but he regards Zhao as his home. He would rather be a minister of Zhao and serve the king."

"Chen Yu tried to visit the land of Zhao, and his wife's family belongs to the Gongcheng family of the Kuxing family. I am willing to go north to recruit heroes from Hengshan County for Zhao!"
