Chapter one hundred and ninety-six constraints
"What else?!" Ziying raised his forehead and sighed. He had never heard of anything happening to Lingfen in the past.
Lu Jia heard Mo Hui say more, but couldn't mention it to Ziying.
"The world is in chaos. Mr. Lingfen cares about the common people, so he will inevitably be harmed by other countries." Lu Jia explained.
"If he stays in Qin, he won't be embarrassed by Tian Rong." Ziying smiled bitterly.
Mo Zhen hesitated for a long time before speaking to Zi Ying.
"Your Majesty, your top priority should be to invade Bashu." Lu Jia changed the subject.
Ziying nodded slowly, Mo Chu's whereabouts were still uncertain, and now he could only hope that Mo Ling's arrangements were in place.
"Find Dr. Chen and Commander Li Xin."
An hour later, Xianyang Palace, study room.
Ziying knelt down facing the four people, each of them looking nervous.
Li Xin looked at Mo Hui, who was wearing Taoist robes, from time to time, and couldn't imagine that a little girl could participate in such a decision.
"The food in Guan and Hanzhong is enough to last until next year's farming. When does Commander Li Xin think it is appropriate to send troops?" Ziying asked.
"Conquests are the most taboo when farming." Li Xin turned around, cupped his hands and replied, "It should be over before May."
Ziying nodded slowly, "We have plenty of time, but I'm afraid there will be changes on Lu Pheasant's side, and it would be bad if we let them get out of seclusion first."
"It's too late." Lu Jia shook his head and said, "If Lu Zhi really wants to send troops out of the Yangtze River, he only needs to build ships and secretly communicate with other countries to disrupt Linjiang Kingdom. I think it can't be later than this month at the latest."
"The soldiers are still training, and it will take a month at the earliest to practice the formations." Li Xin retorted, "Even so, they are still far from being a match for Liu Bang's elite soldiers."
"The so-called elite soldiers are the result of three years of rebellion. If Commander Li Xin only wants to train and strengthen his army, he will never be an opponent of the Bashu Army." Lu Jia said bluntly.
The corner of Li Xin's mouth twitched as if he was dissatisfied, "With all due respect, I failed in the battle of Zhai State due to lack of preparation. We must not make the same mistake again."
Ziying was a little nervous. Saiguo was taking advantage of the enemy, and Zhaiguo was deliberately letting off the enemy. This was the first time they were fighting, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
"How many more months does Commander Li Xin need to practice?" Ziying asked.
"March." Li Xin replied, "After March, the Qin army will be able to fight, but they still need to fight quickly. The plank road between Bashu and Sichuan is difficult to travel, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass, so there is no way to maintain a stalemate."
"The Western Wei Dynasty has just destroyed Hancheng. If it does not want to send troops to the Henan Kingdom, it will definitely keep an eye on the Qin Dynasty during the repair period." Lu Jia retorted, "The Qin Dynasty has been training its troops for too long, which will not only give Bashu time."
Li Xin and Lu Jia each held their own opinions, and the two people who "forced the palace" together were unwilling to give in to each other at this moment.
In Wei Liao's absence, Ziying should have listened to Li Xin regarding the battle, but Li Xin had some doubts about hastily going into battle and was inevitably too conservative.
"What do you think, Doctor Chen?" Ziying looked at Chen Ping who was silent.
Chen Ping raised his hands and said, "Prime Minister Lu is right. There is King Bao of Wei in the east of Great Qin, and King Dong Yi of Zhai in the north. Each has ulterior motives. If the grain harvest in Guanzhong is not balanced next year, the two countries will definitely send troops to invade the border, and Great Qin cannot delay."
Ziying clenched his teeth and kept thinking, "There should be a gap between the Western Wei Dynasty and the Dai Kingdom, but it is not to the point of fighting each other. Dong Yi, with the Huns behind him, is even more unable to move. I'm afraid there is no way.
Whenever you send out troops, beware of them."
"This is indeed the case in the State of Zhai." Mo Yan nodded and said, "But I am watching the sky at night. There will be turmoil in the Western Wei Dynasty this month. The stars will turn red. I am afraid that there will be a great commander who will turn his back on the master and stand on his own. The Western Wei Dynasty will have no intention of violating the border."
"The commander-in-chief? Han Xin? Can he betray King Bao of Wei?"
Ziying was pleasantly surprised, but also felt a little regretful.
The only person in the Western Wei Dynasty who had this ability was Han Xin. With Han Xin's temper, if he could stand on his own and taste the pleasure of being the leader of ten thousand people, he would never surrender again.
Back then, Liu Bang was kind to him in order to curb his desire for independence. Now the only person who is kind to him is the old woman from Huaiyin.
Zi Ying did not show up to stay with Han Xin that night in the Chu camp, and he was afraid that they would meet each other in war in the future.
"Han Xin is much more difficult to deal with than King Wei." Ziying sighed, secretly complaining that Wei Liao failed to persuade him.
"For this reason, it is even more important to send troops as early as possible." Lu Jia said anxiously, "When Han Xin has established a firm foothold, Da Qin will not be able to act rashly."
Chen Ping nodded thoughtfully, "Han Xin will destroy Hancheng and occupy the Henan Kingdom on his way back. The Henan Kingdom borders Da Qin, so we must guard against it in the future."
"But... there is also Dong Yi. After Da Qin withdrew his troops, he sent heavy troops to garrison Qiyuan." Ziying said worriedly.
"Your Majesty only needs to send troops. If I have a clever plan, I will ask Dong Yi to send troops north." Chen Ping said with an evil smile.
"The alienation plan will not work." Ziying dissuaded him, "He is willing to be a dog for the Huns and will not bite his master. Doctor Chen does not need to take risks."
"It is precisely because he is willing to be a dog that this plan works."
Seeing that Chen Ping looked confident, Ziying didn't bother to ask more questions.
Li Xin sighed secretly. Although he was dissatisfied, he could only accept the decision to send troops within the month.
Everyone reached an agreement, Mo Zhen narrowed his eyes and chuckled, but saw that Zi Ying was still frowning.
"Your Majesty, what else can I do?" Mo Fu asked.
"I am afraid of Lu Pheasant, so I should hurry up and leave Bashu. If King Linjiang is careless, he will send Linjiang Kingdom away in vain." Ziying explained.
Xiang Yu sent Yingbu to kill King Huai of Chu. The Communists who cared about King Huai were resentful towards Chu, and Jiujiang was resentful. If he sent a large army to the east of Linjiang, the important land of Jiangling in the west would be empty.
Lu Pheasant could have taken advantage of the situation, but Bashu might have welcomed them out in the name of revenge for King Huai.
Lu Jia ran out of ideas. Chen Ping frowned and spoke slowly,
