Chapter 511 It seems that there is no challenge in destroying Qin

The storm comes and goes quickly.

When Zhao He wanted to do something, no one in Zhao State could stop him from doing it.

When Zhao He, the master father and Fei Yi join forces to suppress a storm, even a huge storm will definitely be suppressed.

If at the beginning, some people were a little confused and worried about the king's sudden action, everyone gradually understood as some insiders in the palace revealed their vaguely.

These people were not dismissed because of the king's whim, but because they dared to collude and wanted to oppose the king's reforms in Zhao State!

After knowing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone will not have any sympathy for those who are dismissed and died.

If you dare to oppose the king, who will die if you don’t die?

As long as the king does not kill or deal with people at will, as long as the king is reasonable, everything is easy to say.

The ministers are never afraid of the king who is reasonable. What the ministers are most afraid of is the king who is unreasonable. The saying that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger appears because most of the kings in history do not like to reason.

So, the storm passed completely.

Before we knew it, spring is coming soon.

Another court convening was held.

Unlike the court discussions that often quarrels broke out before, the overall atmosphere of the court discussions this time was quite relaxing.

Everyone knows that the theme this time is to destroy Qin!

Zhao He's tone was also very relaxed: "I am going to add another 50,000 General Le Yi, and the troops under his command are now 150,000 to pacify Bashu. Do you have any opinions?"

Everyone naturally nodded.

In the past year, the State of Zhao destroyed the two countries of Han and Chu, and captured the four counties of Hanzhong, Nanyang, Nanjun and Qianzhong County of Qin, and the territory and population increased significantly.

Today, Zhao State can easily use more than 400,000 troops, and 150,000 troops are not a big burden for Zhao State now.

Zhao He said again: "Liang Po submitted a memorial and hoped that I could continue to increase my troops. He wanted to pacify the southwestern barbarian countries. What do you think?"

There was a lot of disputes around this issue.

Qiu Ye frowned and said, "King, the southwest Yi is located in the mountains. Even if it is conquered, it will be difficult to effectively rule. I think it is not advisable to work hard to mobilize all the troops."

Qiu Ye's opinion was approved by several ministers.

As a minister, what you want is of course based on the interests of the country.

The southwest is full of poor mountains and rivers, and it is not as good as the Central Plains. It is difficult to develop and govern. It is a kind of project that requires long-term investment in national resources but will not be rewarded in a short period of time. No matter how you look at it, you will lose money.

Zhao He's face remained unchanged and said lightly: "Do you have any other opinions?"

Fei Yi's somewhat turbid eyes circled around the crowd, but he couldn't find Lin Xiangru's figure. So he sighed and said slowly: "Qiu Qing's words are of course reasonable, but I don't agree so much. The king once said, that is, the territory of the Great Zhao cannot be limited to the land of China. If Great Zhao wants to continue to expand, the Southwest is the place that must be taken. How can we ignore the overall situation because of these small gains?"

As soon as Fei Yi spoke, the others stopped talking.

As the saying goes, if there is an old family, there is a treasure. Feiyi, the veteran of the three dynasties, is a treasure-like existence to Zhao State. Even Zhao He must consider what Lao Xiangbang said carefully, let alone others.

Zhao He nodded with satisfaction and said, "What Gao Tang Jun said is very true. Qiu Qing, I know your concerns, but there will never be too many things like territory. We should look at it for a long time. Now the population in the Central Plains is indeed small, but there will be no major war in the future. The population will soon usher in a peak of growth. At that time, there will be more people and no fields. What should the people do if they do?"

"I have said that what can be solved in this generation will be solved in this generation. Don't leave everything for future generations to do. Now there are hundreds of thousands of invincible heroes who have swept the world. Can future generations have such an army in the future? I would rather defeat them and put them there and do nothing for future generations to develop, than doing nothing for future generations to touch these hard bones!"

Zhao He said this, so everyone naturally had no comments.

Zhao He coughed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll add another 100,000 troops to Lian Po and tell him that if I can't pacify the southwest this time, I will really hold him accountable!"

All the ministers bowed their heads and said yes.

The court reached this point, and everyone thought it was over, but unexpectedly, Zhao He suddenly asked another question: "Jun Gao Tang, how many cavalry are available in my border cavalry army in Da Zhao?"

Fei Yi thought for a while and said, "When you go back to the king, if you can launch the border cavalry army with all your strength and add the number of Longxiang Army, then there should be about 65,000 to 70,000 cavalry."

Zhao He frowned and said, "Why do you feel a little less?"

In response to this, Fei Yi could only reply with a laughing and crying expression: "There are many kings. Our cavalry of Da Zhao is not like the nomadic peoples of the Donghu and the Xiongnu, which usually counts all adult men. If we use the calculation method of the Donghu and the Xiongnu, the cavalry of Da Zhao will have at least 600,000 to 700,000 people."

Zhao He shrugged and said, "It seems that this is the case. You guys, in fact, I think it doesn't seem to be challenging if I just destroy one Qin State. Other Southwest Barbarians are all a bunch of scum, right?"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other.

A bad premonition suddenly surged in Fei Yi's heart: "The king means—"

Zhao He laughed and said, "That's right. Anyway, the border cavalry legion is not used in the battle between Bashu and the southwest. Isn't the border cavalry legion going for a walk? Western Liao and Liaodong are still in the hands of the Donghu and the Koreans? You have to take this back. The Donghu and the Xiongnu on the prairie in the south of the Mori were uneasy recently, so this has to be pacified. By the way, the Yuezhi in the Hexi Corridor also jumped happily in the past two years? We have to clean up this."

Zhao He smiled and said, "If the situation is ideal enough, at most one year, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Korean Peninsula, the southern desert grassland and the Hexi Corridor are all our Dazhao!"

Fei Yi: "..."

Zhao He coughed heavily and looked around his ministers: "I am preparing to personally conquer the north and ask my father to take charge of the country in Handan. All the ministers are assisting in the government under the leadership of Gao Tangjun. Do you have any opinions?"

All ministers: "..."
