"Map!"

Lu Buwei shouted repeatedly, and a tall eunuch and Gai Nie took up a huge map made of sheepskin and spread it flat in the hall, marking every city, every pass, and even every river and every mountain on the Qin land.

Lu Buwei looked at the map west of Hangu Pass and fell into deep thought.

The reason why the Weihe Plain, the core territory of Qin, is called the Guanzhong land because the land has natural terrain barriers on all sides, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Relying on these unique natural barriers, four unbreakable passes have been established.

In Guanzhong, there is Xiaoguan in the north, which can control the Hu people; there is Wuguan in the south, which can control Jingchu; there is Sanguan in the west, which can resist Bashu; there is Hangu in the east, which can prevent thousands of men from opening.

The famous generals of the Qin Dynasty were full of warriors, and with the natural danger of Hangu, he was not afraid of joining the country again and again. The Qin people and Qin kings of all dynasties also firmly believed that Hangu Pass would block all foreign enemies outside the pass, but this trust seemed to be a bit too much, which made them ignore many things.

For example, Puyangjin mentioned by Zhang Ji.

Lu Buwei was born in a merchant family and had no serious school heritage. He learned a lot. Whether it was Taoism, Mohism, Confucianism, Legalism, Yin-Yang, farming, or even elementary school schools like Fangji, he had some knowledge, so he naturally would not miss the knowledge of military strategists.

In the six countries, they are good at diplomacy, famous, or good at governing the country. As long as they have this characteristic and the appreciation of the king, they can serve as ministers.

But it is different in Qin!

The Qin people were martial, and the military merit system under Shang Yang's legal reform made anyone who needed to rely on military merit to gain status and rewards in Qin.

Shang Yang himself also set up a chariot to seize the land of Hexi, and Zhang Yi even joined Bashu in the west, and drove beyond the Xihe in the north and Shangyong in the south, so that he could be granted the title of king for his military achievements. He was also Wu Xinjun with the word "wu". Later, the prime ministers of Qin such as Gan Mao, Wei Ran, Fan Ju, Cai Ze also had military achievements.

Therefore, Lu Buwei naturally studied the theory of military dynasties deeply.

He stood in front of the map and walked slowly, holding a thin bamboo stick in his hand, thinking about the feasibility of the strategy in Zhang Ji's letter.

His eyes fell on the mother river that gave birth to the entire China. The surging Yellow River was also a barrier to Guanzhong, but the Yellow River was turbulent and had a strong ferry for Puyangjin.

According to the marks on the map, this place is flat and the water flows long and calm, making it an excellent place to cross the river.

If, as Zhang Ji said in his letter, the main army of the Union Army was really attacked at Hangu Pass and dragged the main force of the Qin army, and then sent a large army to detour Puyangjin, smuggle across the Yellow River, and directly attack the Qin capital Xianyang... Then Qin would really be in danger of destroying the country!

A layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared behind Lu Buwei!

Unlike the capitals of the six Shandong countries, their capital city is Gaochishen, which is the most solid city in the country, but Xianyang is only magnificent and has no walls!

The early Xianyang City was based on the "Yique Palace" of the Qin Xiaogong as the basis. There was only the palace city, and there was no real outer city. At best, there was only the outer city that expanded westward.

During the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, the outer city was built, but at that time, the population of Qin State increased dramatically, and Xianyang, as the capital of Qin State, grew more rapidly. The city scope expanded significantly with the surge in population. The speed of building the outer city wall was far from keeping up with the expansion speed, so it was ordered to stop.

In addition to the pruning of large palaces such as Xianyang Palace and Ganquan Palace, the tall inner city walls pruned from the palace also played a role in defending them. Therefore, Qin kings of all dynasties simply "the palace is the city of their own and the long-term stability may not be built even with Xianyang City."

But if there is really an enemy's breakthrough, although the inner walls of these palaces can play a much better role than those of the outer city, and may not be able to capture the inner city with high walls and deep pools, the people and the soldiers at the bottom of the country do not know that they will only think that Xianyang was captured and Qin State was defeated. At that time, the morale of the army will be in chaos and the Qin army will be truly defeated and destroyed by a battle.

Lu Buwei took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in his heart.

As the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, he must calmly think about countermeasures, rather than panic because of what has not happened yet.

Moreover, the worst is not yet reached.

In this way, Qin still has time to prepare in advance, and have more time to gather out military rations that can support a war, recruit more soldiers and carry out training, and also arrange defense lines in advance.

As for the young man named Zhang Ji, Lu Buwei snorted lightly.

At least the young man named Zhang Ji was quite conscientious and knew how to stand. He passed this important information back to Jingyu, which was worthy of Luowang's protection and the legacy of his ancestor Zhang Zi.

Many senior executives in Luowang have raised doubts, why did Luowang spend so much effort to protect a young man who has not shown any talent? Is it because he was recognized by Zhan Lu, the sword of Benevolence?

At first, Lu Buwei himself didn't understand.

But even though he ordered the withdrawal of Jingluo and those Luowang killers, no one obeyed this order. Several old guys at the top of Luowang personally went to Xianyang and Lu Buwei to clarify the reason why they spent so much effort to protect Zhang Ji.

Because the founder of Luowang was Zhang Ji's ancestor, the Wu Xinjun of the Great Qin Dynasty, Zhang Yi.

No matter who the successor of Luowang is, he must not disclose the fact that Luowang's founder is Zhang Yi, and he must protect Zhang Yi's descendants in return.

This is a secret order given by King Huiwen of Qin to the leader of Luowang to repay this prime minister who has worked hard for Qin. It is also the highest secret in the circle. It was originally a secret that only Kings of Qin who ruled over the past dynasties and the leaders of Luowang of the past dynasties were qualified to know.

Concealing such a thing is not to forget Zhang Yi's merits, but King Huiwen of Qin believed that Luowang had too many murders. If people knew that Zhang Yi was the founder of Luowang, they would probably bring endless killings and disasters to Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi's descendants.

Now it seems that Zhang Yi's descendants are at least worthy of the protection of King Huiwen of Qin back then. The manpower and material resources consumed by the net are worth it after all.

Just as Lu Buwei was feeling, Ying Zheng, who was listening to Lu Buwei's analysis of the situation this time, had a gleam that ordinary people could not perceive.

This Zhang Ji... seems to be in Xinzheng too?

ps: I just wrote these two plots of Qin State. After all, there is still a long time before the fifth rendezvous. This is just to explain the location and actions of Jingyu, and to explain why Luowang pays attention to Zhang Ji and protects Zhang Ji.

Then, last time Yan Lingji had a bit of astringency... she was lost by 404, so she probably couldn't let it go. So she restrained her for a few days, and then tomorrow she was about to start the plot of the Tide Banshee.
