Chapter 49 Save? Not Save? (Part 2)
Guanzhong was the place where China was at that time, and it was the capital of Qin. The Hetao land could threaten Guanzhong and Xianyang. This alone could not fall into the hands of the Huns.
It was precisely because the Hetao land posed such a huge threat to Guanzhong that in the Han Dynasty, the Huns occupied the Hetao land and almost attacked the Guanzhong land. The famous "Hate of **" and "Sweet Springs of Beacons" were created.
When it arrived in the Tang Dynasty, it was even more amazing. The Turks rushed straight into the Wei River in Guanzhong, and their troops were approaching Chang'an. The Tang Dynasty was shocked, and many people wanted to move the capital to avoid disaster. Fortunately, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was the famous Emperor Taizong of Tang at that time. He responded calmly, did not panic, and mobilized the Tang army to prepare for a decisive battle. This move scared Jie Li Khan, the leader of the Turks at that time. In the end, he had to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty and signed the famous "Bianqiao Alliance".
The history of the Han and Tang dynasties has clearly told us that the importance of the Hetao land can threaten Guanzhong and the place where China is beautiful.
Bai Qi has a unique vision and is worthy of being a famous military strategist in Chinese history!
"This..." King Zhao of Qin, Fan Sui, Sima Geng opened his eyes wide and was shocked.
They dared not doubt Bai Qi's words at all and could not help but be surprised.
"Impossible? The Hetao land is still far from Guanzhong. No matter how powerful the Huns are, they don't want to fight to Xianyang." Ying Ying disagreed and shouted.
He was just a person with developed limbs and simple minds, and he could not understand such strategic matters. Qin Yiren smiled coldly and lost his interest in paying attention to him.
"Shut up!" King Zhao of Qin shouted in a deep voice: "Third brother, if you dare to talk nonsense again, get out."
Yanlai was extremely unkind, Ying Ying shrank his neck and did not dare to speak anymore, so he had to stand honestly.
"This is not the biggest harm of the Huns, the biggest harm of the Huns. Here, Yan State!" Bai Qi's wooden stick started from the Hetao land and flew eastward until the capital of Yan State Jicheng stopped. His eyes were shining, saying: "Once the Huns obtain the Hetao land and stand firm, they will definitely advance eastward to attack Yan State."
"Attack the State of Yan?" King Zhao of Qin, Fan Sui, Sima Geng and others were extremely shocked, their eyes widened.
"That's right." Qin Yiren emphasized the key points and agreed with him: "Do you know why the Xiongnu attacked Yan State? Because the territory of Yan State suppressed the Central Plains and was the northern barrier of the Central Plains. If the Xiongnu destroyed Yan State, the general trend would be achieved. If the old land of Yan State was occupied, how could he resist the Central Plains?
Bai Qizhong focused his head and praised him. He looked at Qin Yiren and smiled slightly. When Bai Qi was rarely smiling, he actually smiled at Qin Yiren. How rare is this.
"No way?" King Zhao of Qin disbelief, shook his head and said, "The place in Yan State is bitter, cold and barren, and there are few people. Even if the Huns get it, it will not be of much use."
The place where Yan State is located is the North China Plain centered on Beijing. This was originally a rich land, but in the Warring States Period, the population here was too small and was extremely underdeveloped. It was regarded as a bitter, cold and barren land by the Central Plains.
"Big Father, this is a bad word." Qin Yiren shook his head and said, "The south of Yan State is the Central Plains. The barrier of the Central Plains is the mountains in the south of Yan State. If you start from the land of Yan State, you will be condescending and overlooking the Central Plains. Even if the Central Plains are strong, it will be difficult to resist."
Qin Yiren's words were not aimless, but were verified by history.
As we all know, the Song Dynasty was weak, and first suppressed the Khitan, then occupied the Central Plains by the Jurchens, seized half of the mountain, and finally destroyed by the Mongols. Why was the Song Dynasty suppressed and beaten by these alien races and finally destroyed?
There are many reasons. The weak and incompetent Song Dynasty was an important reason, but there were also objective factors.
This objective factor is "Shi Jingtang stolen the country" and ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to him. At that time, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were equivalent to the land of Yan State in the Warring States Period. After the Khitan, Jurchens and Mongols obtained this, they used this as a strategic base to fight against the Central Plains, which made the Song Dynasty unable to fight back.
Many people are thinking of a question: If the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were not in the hands of foreign races, even if the Song Dynasty was weak, would it become the first dynasty in Chinese history to perish from foreign races?
This shows the importance of Yanyun Land.
The reason why Yanyun Land is so important is that in addition to the fertile land and suitable for farming, the Taihang Mountains are the northern barrier of the Central Plains. Once they fall into the hands of foreign races, the portal of the Central Plains will be opened and the consequences are unimaginable.
"Yiren, you are right, but even if the Huns occupy Yan land, as long as the Central Plains are unified and the Central Plains are strong, they will not be afraid." King Zhao of Qin said, shaking his snow-white head.
"That may not be." Qin Yiren retorted, "If the Huns colluded with the Donghu again, Dafu, do you still dare to think so?"
"This..." King Zhao of Qin was speechless and answered speechlessly.
"The Huns have a feud with the Donghu, so they may not collude with each other." Ying Ying mocked him.
King Zhao of Qin agreed with this and did not scold him for winning the fire.
"So what about the feud?" Qin Yiren grinned and sneered: "During King Wuling of Zhao, the Huns marched south in a large scale. The eldest father abandoned the feud with Zhao and ordered the stop to attack Zhao. Not only did he stop attacking Zhao, but he also wanted to provide help to Zhao and prepare to join forces with Zhao to defeat the Xiongnu. Have you forgotten this?"
"Yes." This is one of the most proud things that King Zhao of Qin has always been. He enjoyed the benefits of his white eyebrows and straightened his chest.
"Can you guarantee that the Huns and Donghu will not collude?" Qin Yiren raised his chin and asked provocatively.
"..." Ying Ying Qing was speechless and speechless, only sulking.
"Young Master's words are reasonable. Those who plan to plan for the country should make a plan and should not be lucky." Fan Sui agreed loudly: "The Huns and Donghu may not collude, or they may collude. For the sake of perfection, they must be treated as if they will collude."
Fan Sui is worthy of being a wise man, and he hits the point. Those who plan to the country cannot miss any of them, even one in ten thousand.
For the safety of China, we must not bet that the Huns and Donghu will not collude.
"It's reasonable." King Zhao of Qin bit his snow-white head and said, "If I send troops immediately, wipe out the nations and unify China. By then, China will be unprecedented in strength. Even if the Huns collude with the Donghu, why should the Qin Dynasty be afraid?"
"Yes." Sima Geng, Meng Ao, Huan Qi and others agreed loudly, thinking that what King Zhao of Qin said was reasonable.
Of course, King Zhao of Qin's words made sense. As long as the Central Plains are unified, their strength will increase drastically. Why should we be afraid of a Hun at that time? Even the Huns, Donghu, Baiyue, all the surrounding alien races are enemies of the Central Plains, and they are not afraid.
"Your Majesty, this is a mistake!" Qin Yiren shook his head and was about to refute. He only heard Fan Sui say, "After the Huns occupy Yan territory, it is impossible for Qin to unify China."
"Oh." King Zhao of Qin was a little confused, frowned and said, "Why did the Prime Minister say this? I sent troops immediately. How difficult is it to destroy Shandong? As long as the Qin army arrives, they can stave off Shandong. By then, maybe the Huns have not yet attacked Yan territory."
"No! Your Majesty is wrong!" Bai Qi said loudly: "Your Majesty knows how much time it takes for the Qin Dynasty to destroy the Shandong countries?"
"How much time is spent?" King Zhao of Qin was determined to unify China. Of course, he thought about this and said, "It will take only three to five years."
"No!" Bai Qi shook his head heavily and said, "In the past three to five years, the Qin Dynasty could not destroy the Shandong countries."
"You're talking nonsense." King Zhao of Qin was a little displeased and said, "Shandong is unable to resist Qin, and it can't be destroyed in three or five years? I don't believe it."
He was eager to wipe out the Shandong countries immediately, but he couldn't wait because he didn't have much future.
"Your Majesty, please let me calculate the account carefully." Bai Qi seemed to have not heard King Zhao of Qin's scolding, and calculated with his fingers: "The first battle between the Great Qin and the East will inevitably be to destroy Han, which will take at least half a year."
Although South Korea is small, it still has such a big place after all. It would be great if Qin State could be destroyed in half a year.
You should know that this was an era of extremely underdeveloped transportation in the Warring States Period. Not to mention conquering cities and territories, even if South Korea does not resist and allows Qin to occupy it, it will take a lot of time at the speed of the Qin army's advance. Not to mention, South Korea will resist. Moreover, the capital of South Korea, Xinzheng, is the old nest that South Korea has been operating for a hundred years. It has a high city and thick walls, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
"Half a year?" King Zhao of Qin pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking. With his wisdom, he certainly knew that Bai Qi had already forgotten the best result.
"Although Wei State was repeatedly defeated by the Qin Dynasty and lost its land and land, the capital of Wei State Daliang took a hundred years to operate and was once the largest city in the world. The wind and beauty of Daliang were once valued by the world. This city is extremely solid and difficult to conquer. It is a blessing to be able to destroy Wei within one year." Bai Qi turned his finger and continued to settle the accounts.
"One and a half." King Zhao of Qin whispered, his brows frowned.
"Qi was once a first-class Warring States Period, and it was even more of the old land of Taigong. It was very impressive to obtain the benefits of fishing and salt, and Qi was rich in the world, even the Qin Dynasty was difficult to reach. Although Le Yi attacked Qi and Qi was greatly damaged, it was not underestimated. It was difficult to conquer it in less than two years." Bai Qi said in a deep voice.
At that time, Qi was not so decayed, and the queen was still alive, so it should not be underestimated. Being able to destroy Qi within two years was already a very impressive record.
In history, Qi was quickly destroyed by Qin because of the successful diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic diplomatic
In this way, if Qin State wanted to destroy Qi, there would be a battle, and it would not be almost bloodless like in history.
"Three and a half years." King Zhao of Qin frowned.
"Although Chu State has been defeated by Daqin many times, it has a vast territory and can retreat again and again. It is not easy for Daqin to destroy Chu. It must be a fierce battle. It is a blessing to be able to destroy Chu within three years." Bai Qi's words were a big blow to people.
In history, the Qin State destroyed Chu the most time-consuming, and it took about three years to destroy it, and there was a big defeat, which was even more deteriorating than the current situation.
Although the Chu State is weak and is not a rival to Qin State, its strength cannot be underestimated. The main reason is that Chu State has not yet been concealed by Chunshenjun.
In this way, it is the most difficult for Qin to destroy Chu. It is already very, very great to be able to complete it within three years.
