Raw materials, craftsmen, standards, weapons, economy, laws..., the four countries are running wildly on the road to control. Xiong Jing's initial idea was to lead the Chu State to introduce the countries in the world into the sea and start the era of great navigation. China of 30 million people was enough to occupy the entire world. At that time, it could be divided into vassals like the Western Zhou Dynasty and take the whole world into its pocket.

The Chu State doesn’t have anything else, just North America is enough. Agriculture, animal husbandry and industry are all excellent places, and the most important thing is that their strategic location is extremely superior. Xiong Jing is a geographical determinist. Geography determines military affairs in the short term, and long term determines customs and people’s character.

McKinder's "Whoever ruled Eastern Europe will control the heartland; whoever ruled the heartland will control the world island; whoever ruled the world island will control the whole world" is in theory, but it is completely failed. Russia and the Soviet Union once controlled Eastern Europe and the heartland, but he failed; Hitler also wanted to dominate the heartland and then control the world island, but he also failed.

On the contrary, Britain and the United States, who believed in the supremacy of maritime power, provoked internal strife from the two teeth to the 21st century, by controlling the border areas of the world island, and finally controlled the whole world. Some people once said that this was actually a crab strategy. The big crab of the United States used two clips to clamp the Eurasian continent tightly, and then enjoyed delicious food - a shit stick Britain maintained a balance of power in Europe and did not allow any country to dominate. Japan previously borrowed arms to Cai E during World War I, and "strike a blow" in the early stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan and attacked the Guo army in the late stage of the War of Resistance Against Japan, with the purpose of preventing Yuan Shikai and Chang Kaishen from unifying the East Asian continent.

Past history has clearly proved that it is not feasible to try to control the world with land power. Even if it works, the time of rule is very short; only by taking America outside the world island as the basis and relying on sea power can we control the world for a long time and effortlessly.

However, this is just a beautiful fantasy of a otakus who loves to sail. The gear of history has advanced to this moment, or destiny has decided that the East Asian continent will inevitably be unified. If you want to, you will be unified; if you don’t want to, you will be unified.

The alliance of the four countries is the best example - before the reunification of Qin, the four countries were about to achieve or have achieved the unification of currency, the unification of transportation (tracks), the unification of weights and measures, the unification of text (Feixunwen), and the unification of economy, finance, trade, laws, and even military systems.

A person who hopes to maintain a multi-national system, preserve the nobles of the six countries, and then starts a great voyage and enfeoff the whole world, the first major thing he does after ascending the throne was to lead to the demise of Yan State, and the second major thing he did was to establish a governing economy in the four countries and carry out a small "unification" within the scope of the four countries. This has to be said to be a bitter irony, and it seems to prove again that as long as the destiny is determined, all the things they do to oppose it are exactly what they do to the destiny itself.

Xiong Jing wandered around the shipyard for a morning, and he was very satisfied with the results of the discussions between Linzi of the four countries. Because this would make the four countries truly connected. This is the unity he wanted, and only this form of unity can ensure that the four countries are intimate and united. He was complacent and did not know that he had become an "unconscious tool of history."

When he thought about continuing to have lunch at the shipyard, his former guard Zhao Yu bowed in embarrassment: "Tell the king that when he came, the empress dowager had said that the king must return to Ying and return to the palace before lunch."

The confinement order proposed by Kong Qian really exists. Now Xiong Jing always asks Zhao Fei for instructions every time he leaves the palace. The executors are Zhao Yu and Zhao Qin. Xiong Jing restrained his smile and replied, "I know." He then looked at Gong Shujian and others who were trying to keep food, and said, "I will act as if they are not honest."

Gongshujian and others wrote down what Xiong Jing said. He knew why the king was confined and only replied: "I respectfully accept the king's order."

"Remember! The boat is the lifeblood of my Great Chu." Xiong Jing solemnly told everyone, and then he left the Zijin Mountain Shipyard on the wing warship. When the warship left the port, he suddenly remembered that he had not gone to worship the General Jingyang buried in the north of Zijin Mountain.

"I think it's impossible to get Yuyan into Qin." In the Grand Sima Mansion, Li Mu's credulous fox Ying confessed his opinion, "The Yuyan into Qin is far away. There are many military people in Henan, and tens of thousands of cavalry crossing here, and the Qin people will be alert.

During the reign of Duke Mu of Qin, Yu was granted the eight Western Rong countries to Qin. From the west of Long, there were Mianzhu, Fu Rong, Zhai, Qi, Liangshan, Jing, Qi and Yiqu, Dali, Wu family, and Quyan. Yiqu, Dali, Wu family, and Quyan were destroyed early in Qin. Even though Qi was not destroyed, he was a subordinate minister of Qin. In the past, King Hui of Qin patroled the Beihe territory, and Rong Yan was defeated by Rong Xian, and Qiang, Hequ, Qiang, Rong Xian, and Qiang, and Qiang, were defeated by our army."

Fox Infant is Li Mu's heart. "They will have 72 wings and wings." Among the 72 people, the most important one is the heart. According to Xiong Jing's understanding, this heart should be the chief of staff or chief of staff of the later generations. He is responsible for formulating all combat plans, and generals only need to choose and implement combat plans. The military tradition of the Zhao army has a long history, but the Chu army, especially the current Chu army, is a bit like a grass-roots team. The military academy focuses on cultivating front-line officers, but ignores cultivating staff.

After Hu Ying arrived in Yingdu, the Grand Sima Mansion asked the most about the Battle of Yi'an. The Battle of Yi'an was 150,000 Zhao army defeated the 250,000 Qin army, killed the Qin general Meng Wu, and the subsequent war, killing a total of 180,000 Qin army. Li Qi and others were most curious about how the battle was planned and how it was implemented.

However, Hu Ying came to Yingdu for more than two thousand miles not to show off his military achievements. He only came for the four countries to go out to attack Qin. After reading the plan to attack Qin based on the information obtained by Lu Gao and Lu Chuang, he completely opposed it. The matter was as he imagined. The people of Chu did not understand the Hu people at all. If they acted according to their plan, the entire army would be wiped out.

"What do you think?" Li Qi looked back at Xiong Jing, Xiang Yan and others, then turned their heads and asked Fox Ying.

"It should be entered into Qin in Shangjun." Hu Ying said without hesitation. He was a round fat man with small and black eyes. He looked around and saw the reactions of everyone present.

"However, the Qin army has occupied Yunzhong County." The person who spoke was Tianzong, the Grand Sima of Qi. Qi was an important country in the alliance of the four countries, so he naturally needed to participate in the discussion of the plan to go out to the frontier to attack Qin.

"The Qin army has indeed occupied Yunzhong, but can you know the city of Yunzhong County? How to install it?" Qiang Xu led 100,000 Qin troops to attack Zhao from the northern route, and soon pulled Yunzhong County. Hu Ying did not deny this.

"I don't know." Not to mention Tian Zong, even Lu Gao who had been to the border, Lu Chuang didn't know the geography and situation of Yunzhong County.

"Wu'anbo defeated Meng Wu. In order to implement this strategy, he has led his troops north to capture the clouds again." The decisive words came out of the mouth of the fox infancy, without any momentum. Everyone was still stunned when they heard this.

"If Qin State is defeated again, what?" Xiang Yan asked immediately.

"Then the Zhao army will take it again." Hu Ying was a little excited, and the flesh on her face shook again and again. "And Yunzhong County is in the hands of the Zhao army, but it is not important whether there is food, fodder and straw robbery here. The army went to the frontier to attack Qin, and it was necessary to fight against the enemy. The battles in the clouds would not last too much, and Xianyang would not be too worried and afraid of the clouds, which was more than a thousand miles away from Xianyang.

Shangjun is the territory of Qin. The army entered Qin when it was cutting millet, and there was no need to worry about food and fodder. The Qin road was wide, and if there were enough chariots and horses, the army could travel more than a hundred miles a day. Within fifteen days, it could reach Xianyang..."

Everyone heard it seriously before, and they said suspiciously that "the army can travel more than a hundred miles a day." Whether it is Xiong Jing, Xiang Yan, or Tian Zong, they all couldn't help but shake their heads. Going out to attack Qin can only be a cavalry, with the purpose of large-scale harassment. It is best to be able to kill Zhao Zheng, but if you can't kill Zhao Zheng, then you won't force it. But the meaning of Hu Ying sounds like the cavalry and infantry attacking together.

From the perspective of Zhao, this is naturally reasonable. If you go to Sedge to attack Qin, the more troops you send, the more violent the attacks you will be. The more likely you are to withdraw your troops, and you will use cavalry to attack it symbolically, which will not have any impact on the battle situation.

"The State of Chu only sent cavalry." Xiang Yan emphasized. "The cavalry in each county voluntarily attacked Qin and had nothing to do with the State of Chu."

"Qi State also only launched cavalry." Tian Zong then said: "Five thousand cavalry generals raised the Zhao army flag and fought."

"The Wei State has two thousand cavalry." Li Qi was very clear about the situation in Wei State and said to Cai Wen. "He also raised the Zhao army flag and fought."

"Thirty thousand cavalry will be useless." Hu Ying smiled bitterly. He knew that the Three Kingdoms had no intention of attacking Qin. Because of this, he tried his best to persuade the countries to dispatch infantry. "It is better not to attack Qin than this. It is only possible to attack Qin once, and then attack the Qin people. "

"This matter was not decided by Zhao State." Xiong Jing spoke, "This matter was decided by Chu and Qi State. If the Zhao army does not want to, they will not attack Qin."

Xiong Jing's words made Tian Zong nod frequently. Although the four countries are alliances, there are still differences between superiors and inferiors. Chu and Qi are the decisive players, and Wei and Zhao can only passively accept it. Hu Ying's smile was even more awkward, "I don't know how to attack Qin with 10,000 four-wheeled heavy chariots, 60,000 horses, and 30,000 cavalry attacked Qin? The cavalry is the best at harassing and not good at field battles. If the Qin people guard the city and do not go out, what can they attack Qin? Only infantry can attack the city. How can they attack people without attacking the city? How can they attack people without attacking people? How can they weaken Qin?"

"What you call attacking people..." Xiong Jing smiled. "Want to slaughter all the Qin people?"

"How can the Qin people be weakened if they don't kill Qin?" Hu Ying's wry smile turned into surprise. "Mengwu invaded several years ago, and he has never killed Chu people?"

Xiong Jing's eyes darkened when Hu Ying said, and he said again: "I heard from Zhao State that the king once said that those who benevolent and righteous will destroy the country. Today, the king seems to disagree with the words of his ministers to attack others. Why? Today, the Qin State does not attack Chu State, and the king has forgotten the evil of the Qin people in the past?"

"The cavalry went out of the frontier to attack Qin and had no connection with the attackers." Xiong Jing did not agree with the massacre, nor did he oppose the massacre. "The three kingdoms can only use cavalry to attack Qin. If Wu Anbo doesn't want to, he will not implement this strategy."
