Chapter 29 Strategic Decisions (Part 1)
Xiang Zhuang ordered Jing Qian to release Wei Liao and drove everyone away a hundred steps away.
Wei Liao rubbed his wrists and said with a wry smile: "Since the general understands everything, there is no need to make me embarrassed anymore, right? Besides, I am nearly 70 years old and I am about to be silenced. I really can't help the general."
Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wei Liao, now there are only you and me, and there is no one else. You can make it clear if you have anything to say. I can tell you clearly. I am very yearning for the magnificence of the Great Qin Empire and do not hate the remains of the Great Qin. I never think that the First Emperor is a tyrant, nor do I think that the laws of the Great Qin are tyranny!"
Wei Liao was shocked when he heard this. Xiang Zhuang's words were really beyond his expectations.
The Kanto Rebel Army has always been the banner of killing tyrants and eliminating tyranny. The Chu and Han armies are the two most influential armies in the rebel army, and are also the two major forces that are now competing for the world. Now Xiang Zhuang actually says that Emperor Shin-Emperor is not a tyrant, and he never thinks that Qin is a tyrannical Qin. This is denying the entire rebel army!
"I know what the sir is thinking." Xiang Zhuang smiled faintly and continued, "To be honest, I never think that the Kanto Rebel Army is a benevolent and righteous army that follows the will of heaven and conforms to the hearts of the people. In fact, the so-called Rebel Army is a group of mobs. The reason why the Qin Dynasty perished was entirely because of the second generation Hu Hai and the treacherous minister Zhao Gao!"
"Oh." Wei Liao couldn't help but sigh, but Xiang Zhuang's words reached his heart.
After Qin Shihuang's army swallowed up the six countries, he not only unified the text and weights and measures, but also promoted the strict laws of Qin to the whole world. As a result, he was naturally strongly resisted by the remnants of the six countries. However, the six Kanto countries even destroyed the state machinery by Qin Shihuang's army, and the resistance of the remnants of the remnants was naturally impossible to become a climate.
Just as the old Qin clans could not stop the implementation of the new law during Wei Yang's reforms, the remnants of the six Kanto countries also could not stop the implementation of the Qin rule across the country.
However, just as the people of Guandong gradually adapted to the Qin law and the remnants of the six countries gradually lost their influence, Qin Shihuang suddenly died. Moreover, because Qin Shihuang did not enthrone the crown prince, Zhao Gao, a treacherous minister, had an opportunity to take advantage of it. With the opportunity to support the second generation Hu Hai, Zhao Gao quickly grasped the authority of the Qin Empire.
Then, with the repeated actions of Zhao Gao and the second generation Hu Hai, the people of Kanto were in trouble, and the Daze Township riots finally broke out inevitably, and the surviving tribes of the six countries who had almost lost their influence took the opportunity to join them. As a result, this originally insignificant riot became a prairie fire and soon affected all areas of the six countries in the former Kanto.
But even so, the Kanto army could not shake the foundation of the Qin Empire at all.
As long as the imperial emperor has a little ability or the powerful ministers who have the power of the imperial authority have some political talents, the Qin Empire can still destroy the chaos of Guandong in a flash. But unfortunately, the second generation Hu Hai is a stupid pig, and the powerful minister Zhao Gao is a eunuch without a descendant. He never thought about what happened after him. The only thing he cares about is the luxury and honor of this life!
The result was that the second generation Hu Hai and the treacherous minister Zhao Gao joined forces to demolish Meng Tian, Meng Yi and Li Si, the pillars of the Qin Empire, one by one, and finally knocked down the last cornerstone of the Qin Empire - Zhang Han!
Zhang Han was unwilling to be killed, so he led 200,000 Qin troops to rebel into the camp of the rebellious army.
At this time, even if the First Emperor is reborn, he cannot save the fate of the empire. This supreme and gorgeous building of the Great Qin Empire collapsed in a blast!
Therefore, Wei Liao deeply agrees with Xiang Zhuang’s words!
Wei Liao just didn't expect that Xiang Zhuang would say such a thing!
If these words were heard by Huan Chu, Ji Bu and other Chu generals, they would be afraid that a storm would immediately lead to. Not to mention that Xiang Zhuang lost his prestige from then on, it would be inevitable that the morale of the Chu army would fluctuate!
Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "Are you not afraid that I will tell others these words?"
"Sir is a national sir, how could he do such a villain?" Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said lightly, "And I am not afraid to tell sir that if we can win the battle between Chu and Han in the future and conquer the world, my Great Chu will not be able to follow the name of the Great Qin, but other aspects will copy the laws of Qin as much as possible, especially the farming and war system!"
"General, take this seriously?" Wei Liao couldn't help but feel slightly moved when he heard this.
If Xiang Zhuang was really willing to implement the laws of the Great Qin after the world was decided, then the hatred between Qin and Chu would not be worth laughing at, because the Great Qin Empire governed the country with law and strictly prohibited private fights and revenge. The grudges between Qin and Chu were originally national hatred, but after the Great Chu replaced Qin, it would become private hatred again.
Xiang Zhuang said lightly: "I, Xiang Zhuang, have said this, and believe it or not lie with you!"
At this point, Xiang Zhuang has already shown his trump card. It depends on Wei Liao's choice now.
Wei Liao fell into a long period of contemplation. There was no doubt that Xiang Zhuang's remarks just now had a great impact. Wei Liao did not think that Xiang Zhuang was cheating his trust by using sweet words, because Xiang Zhuang was able to say what he said just now, which shows that he had a deep understanding of the laws and farming and war system of the Qin Empire.
Wei Liao was quite superstitious about the laws and farming and war system of Qin.
No matter who he is, as long as he has a deep understanding of the laws and farming and war system of Qin, he will definitely be deeply attracted by the huge energy contained in it and the huge power it can burst out. Although Xiang Zhuang is a survivor of Chu, he is obviously impressed by the charm of the laws and war system of Qin!
Wei Liao suddenly realized that his long-lost struggle seemed to have revived again!
In fact, Wei Liao's determination to fight has never been truly destroyed. He lived in seclusion in the valley before, which was forced by the situation. The glory of the Great Qin Empire has become yesterday. No matter which family wins the dispute between Chu and Han, it is impossible for him to inherit the legacy of the Great Qin Empire. Therefore, even if Wei Liao has a determination to fight, he will not have the opportunity to show his ambitions.
However, Xiang Zhuang clearly told him that once Xiang Chu wins the Chu-Han dispute, Xiang Zhuang will follow the laws of Qin as much as possible and restore the legacy of the Qin Dynasty! There is no doubt that this is an opportunity, both for Wei Liao, and for the laws of Qin and the farming and war system, and even for "Yue Liaozi 32"!
Wei Liao's face changed again and again, and after a while, he finally said, "General, I believe in you!"
"Okay!" Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this. He clenched his fists and said, "I have the help of a gentleman, and I will still win a million troops. The revival of the Great Chu is just around the corner!"
Wei Liao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I can't afford to be the general so absurd."
"Sir, sir!" Xiang Zhuang said this and said sincerely, "Sir, I don't know if the three-step strategy I mentioned before is feasible?"
Wei Liao nodded and said, "From the overall situation, the three-step strategy proposed by the General is undoubtedly extremely wise. However, I think that before the General returns to Jiangdong, the coalition forces gathered in Huai and Si must be dismantled. Only in this way can the State of Chu have the opportunity to provoke disputes between various princes and Liu Bang, and the great cause of revival will have hope!"
"First dismantle the coalition forces gathered in Huai and Si?" Xiang Zhuang frowned and asked back, "Is this possible?"
Obviously, Wei Liao actually completely denied Xiang Zhuang's strategy, although the previous sentence "Wangming" was added.
Wei Liao explained: "General, King Liu Bang of Han has become a force to sweep the world. If he is the old man, as soon as the battle to attack General ends, no matter what the result is, he will immediately remove the military power of all the princes and kings, and then divide the three Han Xin, Peng Yue and Ying Bu into the nine counties of the old Chu. In this way, what can the general be defeated back to Jiangdong?"
Xiang Zhuang was frightened and sweated coldly when he heard this. No wonder he always felt something was wrong. He really forgot about this?
In history, did Liu Bang just enfeoff Han Xin, Ying Bu and Peng Yue to the vicinity of Jiangdong? Han Xin was the King of Chu, and Jiangdong was directly his border. King Ying Bu of Huainan was only separated from Jiangdong by Wujiang, and King Peng Yue of Liang was only a few hundred miles apart. If this happens, what else would the Chu State talk about revival?
Even though Han Xin, Qi Bu and Peng Yue's old subordinates were all incorporated by Liu Bang, even if they had only tens of thousands of county and state soldiers under their command, Xiang Zhuang could not beat them either. The three famous generals in the early Han Dynasty were not made, they were all famous on the battlefield. With the more than 5,000 remaining troops of Xiang Zhuang, how could they be their opponents?
"So..." Wei Liao paused and said solemnly, "The General must first dismantle the coalition forces of various countries gathered in Huai and Si before Liu Bang took action to cut off the military powers from the hands of various princes!"
Xiang Zhuang was shocked when he heard this, and asked humbly: "So, how can we disintegrate the coalition?" Then Xiang Zhuang turned back to Jing Qian, waved to Gao Chu, "Take the map over quickly."
Jing Qian, Gao Chu ran up and spread the map on the grass.
Wei Liao found Ao Cang's location on the map, and pointed at Ao Cang and said, "If you want to disintegrate the coalition forces, you can only risk going north to Dabie Mountains and attack Ao Cang for a long distance, cutting off the supply of food and fodder from the coalition forces in one fell swoop. In this way, the coalition forces gathered in Huai and Si will inevitably have shortage of military food. Once the military food is short, the coalition forces of various countries will inevitably return!"
"Yes!" Xiang Zhuang pointed his head and said deeply, "Seal the food route!"
Ao Cang was built by Qin Shihuang and was specially used to hoard public grains brought to the treasury of the six Kanto countries.
Because Qin Law treats the Kanto clans and common people equally, and the Empire rewards farming wars, in addition to earning military achievements, paying more public grains can also get titles. As a result, the enthusiasm of the Kanto people has increased unprecedentedly, and every household is rushing to collect grains and donate. Because the Kanto people paid too much public grain, Qin Shihuang ordered the construction of Ao Cang specifically for stockpiling Guandong public grains!
There is no clear record of how much grain is in Ao Cang's stockpiling, but there is such an amazing fact!
The Qin army fought with the Kwantung riots for three years. After the fall of the Qin Empire, the Chu and Han Dynasty fought for another five years. After eight years of melee, Ao Cang continued to export military rations, and many cellars still had surplus grain!
The big reason why Xiang Yu was defeated in the decisive battle at Gaixia was because he lost Ao Cang!
Until now, the grain stored in Ao Cang has not been eaten up. The 700,000 coalition forces gathered in Huai Si, most of the daily military rations were transported from Ao Cang.########################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################## ,Dragons and Phoenix Abc, Flying Rat in Jiangnan, Showing Heavenly Statue, Standing on the Top of a Mountain, No Limit 1,1314 Intimate and Intimate, Destiny April, Smile handsome ※The world, the smoke is gone and people disperse, maomaomao365, Pure Love Pig,┃ㄨing, Ye Luo Wurui, Green Blood Sword 1, Ye Chengtian, Thirteen Little Demons, ╆Naran Buyi╅╅, Sword of the Sword, Sword of the Sea, bothers- and other book friends are very grateful for the generous rewards.
