Chapter 997 Destroy Han, go down in a battle, and increase the power of Qin!
An outstanding person, especially an outstanding person, has a great influence on a country, and can even extend the life of a country for countless years.
Just like Zhang Juzheng, just like Yu Qian.
For a ruler, meeting a peerless person is a kind of luck. This is why rulers in the past dynasties have killed outstanding people, but rarely killed outstanding people.
Regarding this point, Ying Gao actually knew it from the beginning. Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the meritorious generals and civil servants, so King Zhu Di of Yan came straight in.
Wei Liao and Fan Zeng are getting older, and Ying Gao understands that Da Qin needs younger forces, and the cultivation of talents should be long-term, continuous, and even lasting.
Since it was already clear that Zhang Liang was a great talent and could not be used by him unless absolutely necessary, just like Han Fei, he could not be used by himself until he had to get rid of him. Ying Gao was still very tolerant of Zhang Liang.
If a king cannot tolerate great talents, the country is destined to fail to prosper. After all, the most talented people are all proud.
With his thoughts turning, Ying Gao turned towards Fan Zeng and said: "Zhang Liang, it is better to send him to the academy first so that he can see the elegance of the scholars at all levels of the academy in Great Qin. As for the apprenticeship, we can only figure it out slowly."
"Now that the Great Qin Dynasty is out, the Guowei has a very heavy task. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time to teach Zhang Liang."
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Fan Zeng took a sip of tea and said to Ying Gao: "General Ying, South Korea is too weak. Even if the news is passed, they have no ability to resist."
"Once Daqin takes over the Nanyang area, there will be almost no land of any size above Han. Even if they want to gather forces to resist, they will not be able to do so in a short time."
Hearing this, Ying Gao sighed and said: "Based on the strength comparison between Great Qin and South Korea, if you want to destroy South Korea, you don't need the imperial court to bother at all. This is just the first example of South Korea going out to destroy the six countries for Great Qin."
"How to deal with South Korea involves the future destruction of the other five countries. This requires the formulation of an overall strategy. However, the imperial court decided to destroy South Korea after several meetings."
"The overall strategy has never been determined."
Hearing this, Fan Zeng smiled bitterly. He had naturally participated in the court meeting and was clearly aware of the current difficulties of the court. Either he had not formulated an overall strategy, or else Ying Gao's envoy to South Korea did not go alone the previous time.
"It's not that the king doesn't want to decide, but that there is no precedent to be found. It involves a great cause in the world, and both the king and the courtiers are exploring it carefully."
"Um."
Ying Gao nodded, agreeing with Fan Zeng's point of view, but he could not be arbitrary in this matter, and he only had the right to make suggestions, not decisions.
With his thoughts turning, Ying Gao turned towards Fan Zeng and said, "Sir, how should we coordinate the plan to attack Han from the east? How should we use troops?"
While talking, Ying Gao stood up and walked to the map wall in the study. He stared at the map of Qin and South Korea and said, "South Korea has long existed in name only."
"To destroy Korea, we should fight in one battle and raise the power of Qin!" The zhang pole in Fan Zeng's hand fell on Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea: "I thought that when strange troops descended from the sky, I defeated Xinzheng with a large army."
"Given the current situation in South Korea, once our army breaks through Xinzheng and captures the King of Han, South Korea will be destroyed."
"Only by fighting in one battle and destroying Korea with lightning speed can the Shandong countries be frightened and the Shandong countries have no extra reaction time to intervene in this matter."
"Defeat Xinzheng with a surprise force and directly eliminate the royal family?" Ying Gao's eyes were filled with brilliance. He knew in his heart that Fan Zeng's strategy was to capture the thieves first and capture the king first, defeat Xinzheng with a surprise force and catch the Shandong countries by surprise.
"It's not impossible to do this!"
Ying Gao stared at the map of South Korea and said in a faint tone: "Today's South Korea is riddled with holes, its people are in pieces, there are intrigues in the temples, and the army is only about 100,000 old and tired. If Korea is destroyed,
, you can go straight to Xinzheng.”
"It's just that the Korean royal family in Xinzheng has treasury hoards and stores of grain and grass moved from the Nanyang area. The Koreans were once fierce and good at fighting, and their weapons were well-made, and they once had a reputation as a powerful nation."
"If the Koreans unite the people's morale and fight, and have sufficient treasury support, even if a surprise attack is made, it will be difficult to break through in a short time."
At this time, Ying Gao frowned and looked in the direction of Xinzheng, and said in a solemn tone: "And once our army is unable to break through in a short time, Shandong countries will definitely intervene."
"Sir, do you have a solution?"
Faced with Ying Gao's inquiry, Fan Zeng shook his head. Unless a large army invaded the territory and gathered a 600,000-strong army under the Ying Ziwang Banner, it would be difficult to defeat him in one battle.
"It's difficult. This time we go east to destroy South Korea, we won't have too many troops. If we want to defeat Korea in one battle, we need assistance from other aspects."
Ying Gao knew that Fan Zeng was right. In a war to destroy the country, war was only the last resort. Before that, all kinds of means would be deployed to prepare for the final war.
It even paves the way for the final war.
The conversation between Ying Gao and Fan Zeng came to nothing in the end, because they both knew that everything had not yet been finalized. Only when the court made the final decision could the strategy of his conquest here be decided.
After all, war serves politics.
Xianyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, news just came from Heibingtai. Ying General's Jing Yesi contacted the human spies of the Korean Prime Minister Zhang Ping's family, and in the name of Zhang Liang, the news spread to Great Qin Dong to destroy Korea."
Dun Rui looked calm, as if this was just a piece of news about an ordinary person. If this person hadn't been Ying Gao, Heibingtai would have already come to the door at this moment. This is already a crime of treason.
"What does this kid want to do?"
At this moment, even Ying Zheng couldn't figure it out. He didn't think that Ying Gao was a benevolent and righteous master like Fusu. He was a master who grew up in the army.
His desire to destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world is no less than his own.
After a long silence, Ying Gao gave a decisive order to Dun Rui, saying: "Let that boy come to the study room of Xianyang Palace. It seems that he did not tell the truth to Gu!"
"promise."
He nodded in agreement, then turned around and left. It concerned Ying Gao and Ying Zheng, and he would not say much on this matter, because offending either one would lead to death.
After Dun Rui left, Ying Zheng turned his attention to Zhao Gao who was standing aside: "Go and invite Wang Wan, Li Si, Wei Liao, Wang Jian and others over."
"promise."
Watching Zhao Gao leave, Ying Zheng frowned slightly. He knew in his heart that using Ying Gao's ability to destroy South Korea was no longer an issue, and Ying Gao still had plans for South Korea.
However, spreading such important news is inconsistent with common sense and does not conform to his understanding of Ying Gao.
