Chapter 951: Fighting Qin or Destroying Chu

Winter gradually passed, and spring in 250 BC has arrived.

Zhao Dan sat on his throne and looked at the eight important officials of Longtai in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Before I knew it, I had been traveling to this world for ten years.

During these ten years, I worked hard to govern and used the advantages brought by the time travelers to do my best to help Zhao State. Finally, Zhao State reversed the fate of Changping's defeat, and gradually refreshed and climbed the peak of Zhao State with victory.

Looking at the current Zhao State, it can be said that it is full of famous generals and ministers.

Regarding military generals, after Bai Qi's death, Lian Po and Li Mu took it out to fight any country and it was adults who bullied children. I'm afraid only Wang Jian, the newly rising Qin State, could withstand it.

In addition, Zhao State also has two older and stronger generals, Pang Nuan and Ju Xin, as well as Mesozoic generals like Xu Li, and a new generation of generals like Zhao Kuo are also growing.

The essay official said that Zhao State had the Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, one of the "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period". Although Zhao Sheng's ability was not top-notch, as an old minister of the third generation, the Zhao State prime minister could be said to have a role like a stabilizing needle. As long as he was there, the large ship of Zhao State would keep moving forward safely.

It is not only Zhao Sheng who can support the scene. There are also famous counselors like Zhao State, such as Yu Xin, such as Li Si, who would become a major legal official in Qin Shihuang's previous history, and such a theorist like Han Fei who has been famous throughout the ages and is known as the master of the Legalists.

As the saying goes, heroes come from troubled times. So many heroes are now gathered under Zhao Dan's command. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to describe it as a saying that it is full of talents.

All these heroes and talents, under Zhao Dan's command, must respect Zhao Dan and show their loyalty with fear and fear.

How can Zhao Dan not be proud of this situation?

"Although Wang Po is a bit suspicious of selling melons and boasting,... I am indeed very outstanding!" Zhao Dan narrowed his eyes intoxicatedly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

...

Zhao Dan was still intoxicated here, but the ministers of Zhao below were a little confused.

You should know that at the beginning, Zhao Dan had already sent someone to tell these ministers that there were important things to discuss today.

As a result, everyone has gathered now. If you don’t speak, just forget it. What is the operation of sitting alone on it and smirking?

The next moment, everyone's eyes gathered on Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng.

After all, under such circumstances, only Zhao Sheng, who is a veteran, dares to speak.

Zhao Sheng touched his gray temples, coughed heavily, and said, "Master, everyone is here."

Zhao Dan woke up from his own intoxication, smiled awkwardly, and then said, "You are the ones who have summoned you to come today, mainly to discuss which country you should attack next. Okay, let me express my opinions freely. I will choose the best from it and adopt it."

When several ministers of Zhao heard that this was finally in the main business, they began to get into the state one after another.

According to convention, the first person to speak is Xiangbang Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng said in a deep voice: "King, from the perspective of the minister, Qin will send troops to harass almost every battle when the king attacks other countries. It is really a great enemy of Zhao. Moreover, Guanzhong is the birthplace of Zhou. If the king can take this place, it will be even more obvious that Zhao unified the world as the Zhou Dynasty, which belongs to the destiny of heaven."

Whenever the dynasty changes, you will always have to beautify yourself.

For example, when Shang Tang rebelled, he was talking about the injustice of Xia Jie.

By the Zhou Dynasty, the use of this technique was even more exaggerated.

If we observe the historical books, the fact should be that the Zhou Kingdom, who surrendered to the Shang Dynasty, took advantage of the opportunity when Emperor Xin had no time to use troops to the East Yi for many years and took the opportunity to expand and seize the entire Guanzhong. After the expansion was completed, it observed the fact that the Shang Dynasty was in strife and finally rebelled successfully.

But in the writings of the Zhou Dynasty historians, it became the injustice of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou of Shang favored women and harmed loyal and kind, etc.

This routine is used by the monarch of the new dynasty almost every time the dynasty changes.

Anyway, the old dynasty has been destroyed, and pouring dirty water on the old dynasty can stabilize the rule and stabilize the people's hearts. Anyone can do this kind of thing.

In fact, the reason why the old dynasty perished was that the king of the country was definitely responsible. This responsibility may be because of his lack of ability, or because he did not know the people, but it must be said that all the kings of the country were lustful and cruel, and killed people like a numbness, which is biased.

For example, Emperor Chongzhen, the king of the fallen country, was a good emperor who worked diligently every day. The result was that he gave up the hundreds of years of the Ming Dynasty because of internal and external troubles? Zhao Dan did not remember any record of Chongzhen's lust, cruel, stupid and cold-blooded.

But having said that, since my predecessors have proved that this routine is very useful, Zhao Dan naturally couldn't say he didn't use it anymore.

As early as a few years ago, Zhao Dan had secretly ordered the supervisory guard to carry out public opinion propaganda in this regard.

In addition to promoting Zhao Dan as a saint in Zhao State (in fact, Zhao Dan thinks this is not a false propaganda, it is completely true), Hu Yiwei also carried out extensive publicity in conquered places such as Wei State, South Korea, and Yan State, with the purpose of the residents to know that Zhao State replaced the Zhou Dynasty was the destiny of heaven, and the demise of those vassal states was precisely because of the destiny of heaven.

The goal of such propaganda is to achieve a result, which is to let the residents of the conquered countries know that the destiny is in Zhao or Zhou, nor in other Zhou vassal states. Therefore, the conquered people of other countries just need to be honest and be a Zhao person, and don’t think about hopeless things like rebelling against Zhao Fuyan or rebelling against Zhao Fuqi all day long.

As a prime minister, Zhao Sheng is of course aware of these things, because not only Hu Yiwei, but also Zhao's government agencies are also vigorously promoting this matter. After all, this is a major event to consolidate Zhao's rule.

Only when the residents of the conquered areas accepted Zhao State and became obedient people of Zhao State, can the rule of Zhao State take root and sprout in these places in an orderly manner, and eventually assimilate these places into the real territory of Zhao State.

So at this time, Zhao Sheng first threw out the theory of destiny, in order to connect the attack on Qin with the destiny, so as to impress Zhao Dan and achieve the ultimate goal that influenced Zhao Dan's decision. It can be said that it took great pains to do so.

As soon as Zhao Sheng said it, he immediately received the approval of his ally Ju Xin.

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng and naturally saw through his own Uncle Wang and Xiangbang's plan.

After all, this is not a very profound plan.

But to be honest, Zhao Sheng's words did not actually touch Zhao Dan.

Although Zhao Dan had doubts about whether there were ghosts and gods in the world due to the time travel incident, in general, the idea that my destiny is based on me and my god is the main theme in Zhao Dan's mind.

No matter whether there are ghosts or gods in this world, as long as I am still alive for one day, I must control my destiny in my own hands!

So Zhao Dan turned his attention to Zhao Sheng's good opponent in Zhao State, Yu Xin.

Although Lian Po seems to be the leader, everyone knows that in the political confrontation, Yu Xin has always been the military advisor.

After all, as a soldier, Lian Po must be the ten Yu Xins who combined, but if they talk about war, then this description would be reversed.

Even Zhao Sheng himself looked at Yu Xin, obviously waiting for Yu Xin to attack.

Seeing this, Yu Xin smiled slightly and said without rushing, "Pingyuan Jun's words are not the same. Although Qin seems to be powerful, its roots are just a descendant of the Barbarian Rong in the Western Frontier. What qualifications are these barbarian Rong Di to say to inherit the destiny of the Zhou Dynasty? On the contrary, our Zhao Kingdom inherited the Nine Cauldrons of the Zhou Dynasty and obtained the orthodox Jin State of Ji's surname, which is the true Central Plains. How can Qin State be compared? Pingyuan Jun attaches great importance to Qin State so much, which is really funny."

Yu Xin is Zhao Sheng’s old opponent for many years, so naturally he is very clear about Zhao Sheng’s abacus.

What theory of destiny do you want to impress the king? That's great, I will refute your words now and let the king know that destiny has nothing to do with Qin.

In this way, the king will naturally not be fooled by you, Zhao Sheng!

Yu Xin's words were quite unpleasant in Zhao Sheng's ears. Zhao Sheng's face became unsightly and he sneered: "So what Yu Qing meant is to continue to attack your Chu State?"

Everyone knows that in the Chu State Rebellion last year, Yu Xin was the most determined advocate of destroying Chu in the chaos.

At the same time, everyone present also knew that Zhao Sheng had never had any good feelings for Qin.

Before this debate, Zhao Sheng had asked several times to attack Qin, but they were all rejected by Zhao Dan. Will this time the same result?

At least Yu Xin thinks it should be like this.

Yu Xin smiled and said, "That's true. Now that the two kings in Chu are united, Li Yuan and the three major families are conquering each other. Today's Chu State is actually the weakest Chu State in history! Moreover, the war in Chu State is so serious that the people of Chu State must be quite resentful to Li Yuan and the three major families. As long as the king's army arrives, the people of Chu State will definitely take a pot of rice and drink to welcome the king's army. This way, the land of Jingchu is free to get it, which is the best plan!"
