Chapter 523

Although with the strength of the Qin Guo, the destruction of hundreds of thousands of troops would not make the Qin Guo completely hurt its vitality, but within a few years, it would be impossible to recover, and there would be no heart to attack the State of Chu again.

It must be said that Lord Changping planned very well.

In original history, his plan did indeed succeed.

Unfortunately, plans cannot keep up with changes. First, the second step of his plan, because of Ying Zheng's "not allowed," died directly. Someone else went to Nanyang to suppress the rebellion. The third step of the plan, after seeing Hearing Xiang Yan captured by Su Xuan, also had no follow-up.

This plan required the Great General of the State of Chu, Hearing Xiang Yan, to cooperate. Hearing Xiang Yan and his son directly became Su Xuan's prisoners, so it was obviously impossible to cooperate with him again.

The failure of the last two steps, the last possible thing, is probably the first step of the plan.

Ying Zheng appointed young people as generals and selected Li Xin as the main general attacking Chu.

It was fortunate that Lord Changping was in a state of imprisonment at this moment and knew nothing about the outside news. Otherwise, after knowing that Ying Zheng did not select young people as generals but continued to reuse Wang Jian, he would definitely doubt life.

The fact is also true.

After Mi Lian saw her father again and told her father about the Qin Guo attacking Chu, learning that the Qin Guo had mobilized 600,000 troops and the main general was Wang Jian, Lord Changping was stunned for the first time.

"Ying Zheng, what exactly are you thinking?"

According to his understanding of Ying Zheng, with Wang Jian and his son having such great merits, for the sake of balance, Ying Zheng should have let other generals have the credit for destroying Chu.

As a result, Ying Zheng did not play cards according to the routine at all.

He appointed Wang Jian as a general, and it was 600,000 troops.

This seemed to be telling Lord Changping directly that he, Ying Zheng, did not worry at all that Wang and his son's merits would overshadow the master.

Thinking of this, Lord Changping couldn't help but think of another person.

Su Xuan's appearance flashed in his mind.

"Does this matter also have something to do with you? Did you persuade Ying Zheng?"

On this point, Lord Changping actually wronged Su Xuan a bit.

Su Xuan did not suggest to Ying Zheng that Wang Jian should be the general for destroying Chu.

But Ying Zheng changing his mind was indeed a little bit related to Su Xuan.

The cause was the earliest time when Su Xuan discussed the world in front of Ying Zheng and told Ying Zheng that there were Nine Provinces outside the Nine Provinces. This stimulated Ying Zheng's ambition. Coupled with the process of the Qin Guo destroying the six countries of Shandong and unifying the world, it was too smooth.

In just a few years, he had successively destroyed several countries. According to this trend, unifying the world would not take too long. After the world was unified and a few years were spent stabilizing the situation, he could set his sights outside the Nine Provinces.

The Xiongnu, Baiyue, and even further places, such as the Peacock Dynasty and the Roman Empire that Su Xuan mentioned, could all be used as objects for the Qin Guo to conquer.

Since there is such a large world outside the Nine Provinces, the soldiers don't have to worry about not having a chance to expand their territory.

Then for the sake of safety, and to destroy the six countries of Shandong and unify the world faster, Ying Zheng didn't mind continuing to appoint Wang Jian as a general.

This point is actually the gap brought about by vision.

Lord Changping formulated the plan according to Ying Zheng's previous vision. It cannot be said that he was wrong. In original history, his plan did succeed. But after meeting Su Xuan, Ying Zheng's vision changed. His plan, under the condition that the prerequisites changed, wanted to succeed again, which was basically impossible.

Wang Jian led 600,000 troops to attack Chu, starting from Nanyang and attacking the State of Chu.

With the experience of destroying the State of Han, the State of Zhao, and the State of Yan, he had extremely rich experience in attacking cities and seizing land.

The territory of the State of Chu was extremely vast, with many cities.

He was not in a hurry to capture several cities in one day, but chose to fight steadily. After all, the Qin army had 600,000 people, and there was no need for any other strategy. He just chose to push horizontally all the way. The key was that the State of Chu was unable to stop this method.

It was not only because the noble forces of the State of Chu were powerful, and the major nobles raised large-scale private armies, and the hearts of the people were not united.

It was also because the Great General of the State of Chu, Hearing Xiang Yan, had been missing for a long time.

In the court of the State of Chu, the Lingyin Li Yuan accused the Xiang clan, saying that Hearing Xiang Yan fled in advance because he knew that the Qin Guo was attacking Chu.

This made Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo extremely angry, but they really couldn't tell the truth.
