Yao Jia was extremely angry. He thought it was too much for Li Si to keep him, but who would have thought that after Li Si left, he actually took the entire envoy with him, including all the staff who were stationed in the diplomatic post station in Qi.
gone.
There was really no one left for him, which made him an empty envoy to Qi, but he didn't even have a single person under his command.
"Did Yao Jia provoke Lord Tingwei?" The rest of the delegation looked at Li Si in confusion.
Li Si simply sold out Yao Jia. They were not stupid and they all saw something was wrong.
"It's okay to offend me. The key is that he wanted to use my name to provoke a heavenly being, and he also liked to make his own decisions, which directly offended the two prime ministers!" Li Si said calmly.
"Hiss~" Everyone in the envoy took a breath of cold air.
All I can say is, Yao Jia, you are really strong, and you have offended the most powerful individuals and people all at once.
No wonder Li Si did this.
This is tantamount to making friends with a heavenly being and giving face to both sides. You are guaranteed to make a profit without losing anything.
"Aren't you afraid that he will cause trouble in Qi State?" Others were still a little worried.
If Yao Jia had a grudge, he might cause trouble in Qi State.
"I admit that he can flatter himself and rise to the top easily, but...if he has no vision, he will be killed sooner or later!" Li Si shook his head.
In the officialdom, flattery is only a basic and necessary accomplishment. The most important thing is to learn how to stand and be discerning.
Do you really think that you can stand out from the crowd of officials just by nominating yourself? Jane is in the heart of the emperor?
Little did he know that this was tantamount to offending all his superiors.
If you are really capable, doesn't it mean that your superior officer did not recommend you and is ignorant of people?
Just like Li Si, he first became a disciple of Lu Buwei, and then became a disciple of the King of Qin who was still dormant at that time. However, his promotion was never something he took the initiative to ask for, but was recommended by Lu Buwei.
Even later, when his identity was exposed, Lu Buwei knew that he was a member of the King of Qin, so he still recommended him to become a court captain of the Qin State.
This is the management of connections!
No one in the entire Qin State would say that he got the position of Jiuqing through flattery, but got it justly.
Even Lu Buwei had to admit that he was a talent who would not be buried or covered by gold.
Therefore, you still need to be strong when making iron!
When Li Si returned to Xianyang, Ying Zheng and others were surprised when they saw that Yao Jia did not follow him, but they did not say anything more.
Li Si also did not go to Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang to claim credit.
However, Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang also asked their elders to send invitations to Li Siduo.
This is how connections were formed.
"We are all old, and Da Qin will belong to you in the future!" Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang did not promise anything, but they seemed to promise something.
"The King of Qi doesn't seem to be planning to improve his military equipment!" Li Si did not claim credit, but explained everything he saw in Qi to Ying Zheng in detail.
As for how to analyze it, it's Ying Zheng's business.
"Have you seen Cheng Yu?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with some surprise.
Li Si nodded.
"Then Cheng Yu must have met King Qi!" Ying Zheng thought about it for a while and then came up with the idea.
Li Si nodded again. This was also his guess. It was impossible for Cheng Xi to appear in Linzi for no reason and then leave quietly.
"Do you think that today's Qin Dynasty might be free to declare war on Chu?" Ying Zheng looked at the other ministers and generals.
"Qi's worries have been solved, Han, Wei, Yan and Zhao that were conquered by Great Qin have been united as one, and the food and grass for Hetao, Guanzhong, and Chengdu have been put in place. Wan thought we could fight!" Wang Wan thought for a moment, then nodded.
"The departments of Jiuqing have been stabilized, and the local area is also stable. We can fight!" Wei Zhuang also nodded.
Ying Zheng nodded when he saw the two ministers, and then looked at Wei Liaozi, Feng Jie and others who were left behind in the Guowei Mansion.
"Wu'an Lord is stationed at Wuguan, the armored soldiers are training, and the war horse supplies are in place, ready for a battle!" Feng Jie also nodded.
"How many troops do you think the Qin will need to destroy the Chu?" Ying Zheng also nodded. The food, grass, and baggage supplies are in place, and the country is safe. It's time to go to war.
Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and other civil officials all looked at their noses and their minds without saying anything. It was better for the generals to deal with the war, so as not to appear that they had overstepped or deliberately made enemies of the generals.
Of course, if the generals propose a large army that exceeds the baggage and supplies they can provide, they are qualified to speak to stop it.
Just like if the Qin Dynasty could only meet the cost of a war of 500,000 troops for one year, but the generals wanted a million troops for three years, then they would have to speak.
"The Chu army currently has a standing force of 200,000. If our army goes south, Shouchun will definitely recruit a large army. The number is expected to be between 300,000 and 400,000."
"Given the strategic depth of the Chu State, if our army wants to completely annihilate the opponent, the number of soldiers will be at least 300,000, and it will last one to two years!"
Wei Liaozi expressed his analysis.
Ying Zheng nodded after listening to Wei Liaozi's words, and then looked at the memorial in his hand. Before that, he had already summoned Wuguan and asked Li Mu, Wang Jian, Meng Wu and others on the front line.
The answer was that if Dragon City sent troops, it would only require 200,000. If Dragon City did not send troops, it would require 300,000, but the time would only be half a year.
It can also be seen from this that in terms of commanding troops and actual combat, Wei Liaozi and others are inferior to generals such as Li Mu and Wang Jian.
"I have passed down an imperial edict, ordering Lord Wu An, General Li Mu to be the chief general, General Wang Jian to be the deputy general, General Meng Wu to be the assistant general, and General Meng Tian to be the vanguard general to command an army of three hundred thousand to destroy Chu!" Ying Zheng said solemnly.
Zhao Gao immediately drafted the edict, stamped it with the national seal and sent it to Wuguan.
"In addition, the Prime Minister's Office drafted a proclamation to destroy Chu and announced it to the world!" Ying Zheng continued.
To destroy the Chu State, one must have a name and occupy the great righteousness.
Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang stepped forward to accept the order, but the slogan and name were not so easy to find.
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, both Wang Wan and Wei Zhuang were thinking about what name they should give to Chu State so that Qin State could stand on the right side.
"It seems that Chu was the leader in the Fangcheng War, right?" Wang Wan said lightly.
"Ah?" Wei Zhuang was stunned for a moment. The cause of the Fangcheng War was not just the Chu family, but the whole world, including their Qin State, was also involved!
"Xiang Wei has forgotten who came to Handan Palace to attack Emperor Yao!" Wang Wan continued.
"That's just Tianzi Yao's wooden body!" Wei Zhuang said seriously.
"Yes, we know that it is Mu Yanshen, but the people of Zhao State don't know it, and the people of the world don't know it either." Wang Wan said calmly.
"Understood!" Wei Zhuang nodded.
What could be greater than the crime of killing the emperor by those under the Chu State? What's more, the current king inherits the legacy of the emperor Yao and has legitimately obtained Yanzhao. Therefore, in the name of revenge for the emperor, he destroyed the Chu State.
