Chapter 109 The King of Qin asked right (2)

"The best strategy is to cultivate politics internally, improve the system, and take steady steps to erode the world."

"How long does it take to make steady progress?"

"Sixty years are the best, and on average, one country will be destroyed every ten years."

After hearing Wei Liao's best plan, Meng Tian noticed that a trace of disappointment flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Haha, are you going to destroy the six countries or to preserve the six countries?" Li Si disagreed and refuted. He always advocated urgently to merge the six countries. Wei Liao proposed a strategy of eroding the world, and he advocated it to two extremes.

As the saying goes, time is too late, you have to seize opportunities and make achievements. Wei Liao’s best strategy is inconsistent with common sense.

"Don't sir have three strategies, both the top, middle and the bottom, what about sir's strategy?" When Meng Tian was wondering, Ying Zheng's words came over.

Meng Tian had a lot of contact with Ying Zheng, and he could hear that the enthusiasm in Ying Zheng's heart seemed to be less vigorous.

"Swallow the northern countries and slow down the south."

In the so-called south, Wei Liao refers to the State of Chu. With the map on the table, Wei Liao drew a line along the border of Chu.

"Why is this?" Ying Zheng was puzzled, "Sir, are you worried that Qin will not destroy Chu?"

After saying that, Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with a meaningful look. Li Si was from Shangcai, Chu, and knew the national conditions of Chu. When he persuaded Ying Zheng, Li Si said that Chu had many vassal kings as many as dogs, and the country was scattered. Although there were many people, his strength could not be used in the same place.

As a Chu man, he strongly advocated the destruction of the six kingdoms, including his own motherland. Because of this, Li Si gradually won the trust of Ying Zheng.

"Northern countries inherited the culture of the Central Plains and came out of the same lineage. But the Chu people are different. Although the Chu people learn the culture of the Central Plains, they are alienated from the Central Plains in their bones. The Chu people are scattered and violent. Now the Chu temple has no enterprising spirit, just like a sleeping tiger. They destroy the Chu people, and they are afraid that they will awaken the power of the Chu people......"

"Haha, still a sleeping tiger?" Li Si interrupted Wei Liao without hesitation and retorted, "Chu State advocates feudalism, nobles' autocracy, and the king is stupid. He should take this opportunity to quickly defeat him. Otherwise, when Chu State has a powerful lord, integrates the power of Chu State, occupies the south, stabilizes Jiangnan, and Fuchai and Zhibo are in trouble!"

A quick attack, or a slow attack?

This is a difficult problem.

Li Si's proposition has his own reason. Wei Liao's proposition seems to be very conservative, but Meng Tian admires Wei Liao's foresight very much. According to the original history, the gravediggers who destroyed the Qin Dynasty were the Chu people who rose to revenge.

If Wei Liao's strategy is followed, first, and after integrating the north, erode the Chu State, conquer a place, and digest it. When the Chu State is destroyed, even if it is willing to take revenge, it cannot mobilize the power of the entire six countries.

"Sir, will you continue to speak out the worst?"

Wei Liao's best and middle strategies were not in line with Ying Zheng's appetite. Life was too short, so you had to seize the day. Ying Zheng had already made up his mind to unify the six kingdoms in his lifetime.

"The worst thing for me is to urgently merge the six countries."

Wei Liao sighed and slowly spoke out the worst in his heart.

"It is the worst way to merge the six countries?"

Li Si was unhappy. The strategy of urgent and urgent asserting the world that he had always advocated became the worst policy when Wei Liao said.

Ying Zheng did not stop Li Si from attacking Wei Liao, and received Ying Zheng's tacit approval. Li Si bowed and looked cold and said, "I hope you can tell me what's wrong?"

"Wuhou Wei once asked Li Ke for the reason for the demise of the Wu Kingdom. Li Ke replied that it was because of the sudden battle. Wu Hou said that the sudden battle was a blessing for the country. Li Ke said that the sudden battle would lead to the people to be exhausted, and the sudden victory would lead to arrogance. The king was proud and the head of Guizhou was exhausted, and the country was in danger."

Wei Liao's tone was plain, but it revealed the short-lived glory of Wu. It was like a comet, crossing the sky, very beautiful, but very regrettable.

In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Wu State had talents such as Wu Zixu, Sun Wu, etc., and suddenly rose up and once fought for hegemony of the Central Plains, but suddenly lost the country, which shocked the countries.

The Marquis of Wei State was also considered a wise ruler, while Li Ke was a famous prime minister of the generation and studied under Zixia. After his teachings, he tactfully advised the Marquis of Wei not to be strong in military affairs, nor to use excessive use of civil power.

During the reign of Wei Wuhou, after the reform of Wei Wenhou, Wei became the overlord of the seven heroes and its national strength was strong. Nearly two hundred years have passed, Wei fell from the position of hegemony, and Qin gained an advantage over the six kingdoms.

Qin can mobilize the national forces in a short period of time, conquer and destroy the six countries, and win suddenly in a sudden battle, but it will inevitably greatly deplete the local power of Qin.

Wei Wuhou had Li Ke advised him. In history, has anyone advised Ying Zheng like this?

Wei Liao only proposed three strategies, namely the upper, middle and lower, and did not intend to persuade Ying Zheng. It depends on how Ying Zheng would choose.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ying Zheng will still choose the strategy of urgent and conquer the world.

The talented and wise Ying Zheng can't wait for fifty or sixty years. His father and eldest father were unable to live beyond fifty years old, so Ying Zheng could not guarantee that he could live long. At this time, Ying Zheng was not addicted to the fantasy of immortality.

"The mayfly will be in a lifetime, and the more people in the world fight, the longer the time is, the more people die. Sima Fa has been saying that destroying the country, loving the people, and destroying it." Ying Zheng's fingers crossed the six countries on the map, starting from Handan to Shouchun of Chu. "I attacked and destroyed the six countries in order to eliminate the situation where the countries continue to fight. After the world is unified, everyone will be the heads of Qin, and all the ministers of Qin, and I will definitely treat everyone equally."

Suddenly, Ying Zheng stood up, walked to the main entrance of the hall, looked at the vast earth under the twilight, pointed to the direction of the six countries, and his eyes were firm.

"In twenty years, I will wipe out the six kingdoms within twenty years!"

*******

Perhaps because the two have different ideas, Ying Zheng and Wei Liao did not continue to have a deep conversation.

When the imperial chef started to place the imperial chef, Meng Tian and Li Si wisely bid farewell to Ying Zheng.

Wei Liao had no house in Xianyang and had no relatives. Meng Tian took Wei Liao to the Xianyang Recruitment Hall to rest.

Qin Xiaogong issued an order to seek talents. After Shang Yang's reform, more people from the six countries went to Qin to seek officials. The Qin people specially built an inn for the six countries to show their support for the people from the six countries to temporarily settle down.

It is said that Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo also settled in the Recruitment Hall back then.

"Although the king is young, he has a broad mind and can do whatever he wants. The sir just rest with peace of mind and wait for a day to show his ambitions!"

Meng Tian came forward, and the inn's servant arranged a presidential suite for Wei Liao, the room where Zhang Yi had lived. Seeing that Wei Liao was still frowning, Meng Tian comforted him.

"I have a short contact with the king, but according to my observation, the king is......" Speaking of this, Wei Liao suddenly kept silent.

Meng Tian couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Speaking of which, in Wei Liao's eyes, Meng Tian was Ying Zheng's confidant.

"Mr.'s words, it's Meng Tian's ears. Meng Tian swears to the sky. If he reveals it to them, the sky will be struck by lightning and die!"

In ancient times, people were very awe of heaven and earth, and it was difficult for people who had been educated by atheism to understand this.

Meng Tian made a heavy oath, and Wei Liao couldn't help but open his mouth wide. The sky was struck by thunder, and Meng Tian was really sincere.

"I have learned about facial features." Wei Liao opened the door, put down the bag on his shoulder, lowered his voice, and whispered, "The king's nose is very high, his eyes are big, his eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and his voice is low. Such a person has a heart like a tiger or wolf but has no kindness. If the king really wants to unify the world eagerly, next, I am afraid that everyone in the world will shed blood for it."

Meng Tian was a little unconfident about Wei Liao's statement. In the eyes of Meng Tian, ​​who had undergone atheistic education, China's physiognomy has removed that mysterious color, and Meng Tian would not believe it in his heart.

Besides, being a little kind and a tiger and a wolf-hearted heart, compared with the kings of all dynasties, Ying Zheng did not kill any meritorious officials after unifying the world. The father and son of the Wang family who conquered the five countries not only lived their lives, but Wang Li, the descendant of the Wang family, was still trusted by Ying Zheng.

When Meng Tian said that Ying Zheng was mean and young, he felt that Wei Liao exaggerated and even felt horrified.

Perhaps because he felt Meng Tian’s disregard, Wei Liao was a little embarrassed. Why didn’t his arguments scare Meng Tian?

"The king is unwilling to eat the world. After a sudden battle and victory in the attack and destruction of the six kingdoms, the people of the six kingdoms, as Qin people, have the six kingdoms in their hearts. If the people of the six kingdoms rise up and restore their country, they will probably experience a situation where the world will shed blood for it. The pain of the country's destruction, the people of the six kingdoms carry hatred in their hearts, and the blood of the people of the world will only be left. In this way, will the world suffer a lot?"

Wei Liao's ancestors participated in the war between Wei State to defeat Zhongshan. Leyang, Wu Qi, and Wei Wenhou's two famous generals worked together in earnest and finally destroyed Zhongshan State for several years, and consumed countless manpower and financial resources. As a result, the people of Zhongshan later restored Zhongshan State.

This is still the case when destroying a country. If Qin State conquers and destroys six countries, and waits for the six countries to fight back, it is likely that Qin State will be seriously damaged and even lose more than it will be.

Meng Tian stared at Wei Liao and looked up and down. In later generations, people like Wei Liao could become top prophets and first-class future scholars.

Wei Liao's worries indeed became a reality after Ying Zheng's death. Qin State conquered the six countries, but the people of the six countries did not forget their own countries. The hatred of the country was deeply hidden in their hearts. The nostalgia for their homeland allowed them to forgive the foolish monarch of their homeland and selectively forget the monopoly of the homeland's aristocrats over the state's power.

Ying Zheng's dream of establishing a unified country was finally just a wedding dress for others.

Throughout history, the first person to eat crabs often has a bad ending. People who get affordable often put their bets when the time is right.

When a woman gives birth to a new life, it is often very painful, and it is the greatest pain that humans can feel. But in order to avoid this pain, shouldn't give birth?

The birth of a unified country is accompanied by pain, but the nations coexist, wars continue, and ordinary people are suffering. If the situation of coexistence of all countries continues over time, China becomes Europe, and the scattered countries will only continue the pain for a longer time.

The demise of the Qin Dynasty was not inevitable, but there were many accidents.

Walking on the way back to the Mongolian Mansion, the faint moonlight shone on Meng Tian's body, pulling his shadow, the elder elder...
