Last time, Daqin narrowly escaped disaster.
It’s also because the State of Chu only sent the Xiang family’s army.
And what about this time?
The two countries of Jin and Chu have a total army of 2.5 million. How can they fight against them?
Even if he did nothing, the Qin Dynasty would probably be destroyed.
But if it really is, do nothing.
Firstly, I don’t feel any sense of participation, and secondly, I am worried that some accidents will happen again.
Thinking of this, Ying Yuan walked out of the room and planned to listen to the opinions of Huo Guang and others.
It mainly depends on what choices they will make when faced with such a serious situation.
When everyone saw the emperor coming, they all bowed to him.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan waved his hand and said, "In extraordinary times, conventional etiquette will be dispensed with."
After a pause, he got straight to the point. "I'm sure you all know what happened between Jin and Chu. Tell me what you think."
Huo Guang was the first to respond, saying, "Your Majesty, I believe that at this critical moment, we should mobilize the people of Great Qin to actively join the army.
Only in this way can we ensure the supply of troops and fight the enemy to the death!"
Dong Zhuo said, "Your Majesty, the enemy forces we are facing this time are simply too large.
If war breaks out, we must be fully prepared, even prepared for the enemy to capture Xianyang!"
Zhao Kuangyin echoed, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Liang is right. Facing an army of over two million, a quick victory is obviously impossible.
We can only rely on the advantages of our homeland, fight the enemy step by step, and prepare for a protracted war."
"Your Majesty, I believe..."
“…”
Ying Yuan listened to their opinions very carefully.
In a nutshell, there seems to be only one way to go in this war, and that is to fight.
And even if you fight, you may not win.
At this moment, Jia Xu stepped out from the crowd and bowed, saying, "I have an idea. Your Majesty, would you approve it?"
"Tell me about it." Ying Yuan said lightly.
Jia Xu nodded and began to speak at length:
"Your Majesty, Generals, the main reason why Jin agreed to an alliance with Chu and suddenly sent reinforcements to Qin was to resolve domestic conflicts.
The State of Jin needs interests, needs the territory of the Great Qin, and even more needs the people of the Great Qin. Only in this way can the royal family of the State of Jin gain more powerful strength.
However, when the State of Jin sent out a million troops, it would certainly mobilize the power of the aristocratic families. It was a well-known fact that the royal family of Jin was not in harmony with the aristocratic families.
Perhaps, we can make some use of the aristocratic families of Jin State. If Chu State forms an alliance with the royal family of Jin State, we can use land as an inducement to form an alliance with the aristocratic families of Jin State.
In this way, Jin State will no longer be a concern, and it may even be torn apart by this incident."
Hear this.
Huo Guang frowned and asked, "You mean to ask the Qin State to cede land to help those ambitious people in the Jin State?"
Jia Xu noticed his tone was a little hurried, so he quickly explained: "General Huo, what I mean is to cede the land temporarily.
When the aristocratic families and the Jin royal family have completely turned against each other, we will mobilize the entire country to quickly defeat the Chu State.
Then, we can take advantage of the situation to recover the land that has been ceded. In this way, won’t our Great Qin be able to survive this difficult time?
Even if the ceded territory could not be recovered in the end, it would have planted the seeds of division for the State of Jin. Why not do it?
As long as this seed can take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree, then Jin will become a small country, and we will have the opportunity to reap the benefits."
Hearing this, all the soldiers gasped.
They finally understood why Dong Zhuo called him "poisonous scholar".
This strategy requires a lot of details to make up for its numerous loopholes.
But I have to say, this is a clever and vicious plan.
As long as this plan succeeds, Jin will no longer be Jin.
There will definitely be endless wars and chaos within their ranks for years.
By that time, many people in Jin State would surely die.
It is not impossible for Qin to recover its old territory.
But this plan has an inevitable fatal point.
If Qin State gains the support of Jin State's aristocratic families by ceding land.
Then, if they recovered their homeland afterwards, wouldn't that be going back on their word?
In this way, all countries will have a reason to mobilize troops against Qin.
In other words, if this plan fails, Qin will be faced with another catastrophic disaster.
If this succeeds, Qin will lose all its credibility among other countries.
No other country would be willing to be friendly with Qin.
However, if it can really plunge the State of Jin into continuous war, all this will be worth it.
Ying Yuan figured out the key and frowned secretly.
Wow, he is worthy of being Jia Xu.
He really dares to think of any strategy.
If you are not careful, you may end up getting yourself into trouble.
Is there a more vicious strategy than causing the state of Jin to split, to fight against each other, and to cause endless war?
At this moment, all the soldiers were looking forward to it.
They believed that Jia Xu's plan was feasible.
However, all this still requires the consent of Your Majesty.
So, they were all waiting for Ying Yuan's opinion.
Of course Ying Yuan couldn't agree.
He had waited so long for this opportunity, how could he just sit back and reap the benefits as Jia Xu said?
So, after a while, he slowly said: "What Jia Xu said is not without reason, but...I will not do it this way.
If a country wants to be strong, it does not rely on conspiracies and intrigues, but on magnanimity and justice.
