At the same time, the vice commander of the Black Ice Platform, Ru Zicheng, led the people of the Black Ice Platform to the Guard Commandery. All seventy people in the Guard Commandery had been captured.
Within a day, the entire Black Ice Platform had been mobilized. Thirty-eight officials of Xianyang City had been captured. Including their relatives, there were more than a thousand people.
With so many people captured, it was like an earthquake that shocked all the people in Xianyang City. Some people who had ulterior motives were even more terrified, afraid that the people of the Black Ice Platform would appear in front of them in the next moment.
At the same time, intelligence reports were also appearing in front of Ying Zheng's case one by one.
At this moment, he wasn't looking at the information, but at Wei Liaozi, Meng Ao, Wang Jian, and Li Xin. He asked his own question,"If I want to lead Great Qin to unify the six countries, what do I need to do? What do I need to consider?"
Wei Liaozi was a great strategist, and his book, Wei Liaozi, was also a powerful book on military strategy. According to the historical process, he had made great contributions in the process of unifying the six countries in Qin, but he had just entered Xianyang and had not yet become an official.
As soon as Ying Zheng found out that Wei Liaozi had arrived, he immediately summoned him into the palace, and even called Meng Ao, Wang Jian, and Li Xin in together.
The four of them did not expect to be asked such a question the moment they met Ying Zheng, and all of them fell into deep thought. Wei Liaozi was the first to wake up from his thoughts and said,""With the strength of the Qin State, the vassals are like the rulers of the prefectures and counties. What I'm worried about is the vassals joining forces. They'll work together to catch us off guard. This is why Uncle Zhi, Fu Chai, and King Min perished.”
Uncle Zhi was a powerful official of the State of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was later attacked and destroyed by the doctors of Han, Zhao and Wei.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Fu Chai was the king of Wu and later killed by Gou Jian, the king of Yue.
King Min was the king of Qi during the Warring States Period. Later, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Qin joined forces to defeat Qi and died.
"If Your Majesty wants to unify the world, you have to disrupt the strategies of at least one or two countries. You can't let the six countries completely unite.”
"It's best to make friends far away and attack near. Your Majesty can order people to send envoys to Qi and Yan. These two countries do not have borders with Qin. If Qin attacks other countries, their sense of urgency is far less intense than the countries being attacked.”
"I hope that Your Majesty will not cherish your wealth and use it to bribe the powerful officials of Qi and Yan to disrupt their plans. This way, you will lose at most a million gold, but you can exchange it for ten times the victory.”
Ying Zheng stood up and bowed." Sir, you are a great talent. You can be the Prime Minister. I hope that you can help me build the prosperous era of the Great Qin Dynasty."”
Overjoyed, Wei Liaozi rose to his feet and raised Ying Zheng's arms with both hands,""Your Majesty, believe me; I'm willing to die for Great Qin!”
During the Warring States Period, if the king was willing to bow to his subjects, it was the greatest respect.
He traveled to the Qin country and originally wanted to practice his own theories and ideas, so that his talent could be displayed on a platform.
Ying Zheng and Wei Liaozi smiled at each other before kneeling down again.
Meng Ao said loudly," Great Qin's strength is far superior to other countries, but the war is not only about the victory and defeat of the soldiers on the battlefield, but also the logistics. If the war breaks out, I estimate that Great Qin's food reserves will only last for three months.”
"If Your Majesty wants to start a war, you have to start stockpiling food from now on. At the very least, you have to stock up enough food to last you for eight to ten months.”
At this time, there were very few regular armies. Once there was a war, they would recruit an army. The vast majority of the people who formed the army usually had to farm.
With the start of the war, hundreds of thousands of farmers were gone, and the imperial court had to be responsible for the food consumption of these people.
In addition to the logistics and transportation work, they also needed to consume food.
There was also the saying of " eat dry when busy, eat thin when free ". When there was no war, the soldiers would eat less. Once there was a war, they would definitely eat until they were full.
It was inevitable that there would be losses in the process of grain transportation. Finally, the process of transporting food itself had costs.
There were many cases of food loss.
Therefore, once a war broke out, the amount of food consumed would be ten times more than usual.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used up all the resources that the previous emperors had accumulated. From then on, the Han Dynasty went downhill.
" Store food."
" Yes." Ying Zheng nodded and asked again," If you were given a choice, which country do you think would be better to destroy first?”
"Destroy Han first!" Wei Liaozi said without hesitation. It was obvious that he already knew the answer.
"Destroy Han first!" Meng Ao immediately replied.
"I agree too. We should destroy Han first.”Wang Jian said.
"Me too!" Li Xin patted his chest and said loudly.
Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, then asked,""Why?"
Wang Jian immediately said," The Han Country is close to us, and our national strength is also very weak. If there are no other countries to stop us, I am confident that we can take down the Han Country within a year!"”
Wei Liaozi nodded." Destroying the Han Country first can still achieve the effect of intimidating other countries. However, I suggest that if we want to destroy the Han Country, we should not reveal our intentions at the beginning. Otherwise, the Han Country will be on guard."”
" What you mean is that you are pretending to attack other countries," Ying Zheng said with a smile." You are taking them by surprise?"”
Before destroying Qin Country, Qin Country and Zhao Country also had a war. This war could be said to be a diversion, making Han Country mistakenly think that Qin Country wanted to fight to the death with Zhao Country. In the end, Qin Country attacked Han Country instead, causing them to panic. In less than a year, they were conquered by Qin Country.
"Great King's heroic name." Wei Liaozi complimented.
Ying Zheng was in a very good mood. No one in the world knew that the five of them had decided their fates with just a few words, and no one knew how talented these four people were.
Wei Liaozi had decided on Qin's plan to unify the world.
Wang Jian and his son, Wang Ben, were the greatest heroes of Qin's unification of the world. They led the army to break through Handan, the capital of Zhao, and wiped out the three Jin regions. They also broke through Ji, the capital of Yan, and destroyed Chu.
Although Wang Jian had outstanding achievements and was conferred the title of Marquis Wucheng, he knew how to retreat bravely.
