At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 21, deceiving Zhou Zhang

Xu Fan was very strong and ate a lot. It was difficult for him to eat enough just by hunting and the little food given by Chen Xiu, so he focused on the wine and meat provided by Zhou Zhang every day.

One evening, Xu Fan told Deng Zong and others about the deeds of the four great princes of the Warring States Period. Among them, he particularly praised Lord Xinling and said that he was the leader of the four great princes of the Warring States Period.

Zhou Zhang was a little surprised to hear about the four great princes of the Warring States Period. After all, it was only a few decades before they passed away. There is no such thing in this era. It is not bad to rank these four people together. Their status and achievements are, Their influence in all countries in the world, and even their behavior of hosting retainers are similar.

But when Zhou Zhang heard that Xu Fan ranked Lord Xinling first, over his former master Chunshen Lord, he was not convinced.

"What do you know, kid? Chun Shenjun formed alliances many times to prevent Qin from invading the six kingdoms, and destroyed Lu to expand the territory of Chu. His martial arts skills were outstanding, and his governance of the country was comparable to that of Guan Zhong Leyi. He governed Jiangdong for more than ten years. Let Jiangdong become a prosperous place in the world, and become the magistrate of the Chu State. The Chu State will be rich and powerful, the people will be strong, and the national treasury will be abundant. If such civilized, political, and martial arts cannot take the first place."

When Xu Fan saw that Zhou Zhang was on the hook, he came to him without any courtesy, took a chicken leg and started to eat it. After eating, he smiled and said: "Chun Shenjun's martial arts is pretty good, but to say that he has great martial arts is a bit too much." The destruction of Lu indeed expanded the territory of the Chu State, but the Lu State had already declined as a dynasty. Any of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period could destroy Lu. Based on the situation of the Chu State at that time, whether or not the Lu State was captured had nothing to do with the overall situation.

Even because Chu State attacked Lu State, Qi State and Chu State no longer had a small buffer country, which made Qi State even more afraid of Chu State. Therefore, when Qin destroyed Chu, Qi didn't even have the slightest support. "

"Judging from the current situation, the monarchs and ministers of Qi State are indeed brainless and watched Chu State be destroyed. But judging from the situation at that time, Chu State poses a greater threat to Qi State than Qin State. Because this move caused Chu State to lose Losing the trust of Qi, our ally, is a small loss."

As for the formation of a unified army, this can be regarded as the greatest achievement of Lord Chun Shen. At that time, the Qin Dynasty had already overwhelmed other vassal states, and the strength of Chu State was far inferior to Qin State. If you want to resist Qin, you can only rely on external forces.

Chun Shenjun was able to make the six countries make an alliance with each other, unite to attack Qin, and let King Chu Kaolie serve as the head of the six-nation alliance. It is indeed Chunshen Jun's powerful way of cooperating. If he really succeeded in defeating Qin, he would not only defeat the four The head of the eldest son can even wear the seal of the Six Kingdoms.

It's a pity that his military ability was too poor. At that time, the kings of the Six Kingdoms asked Chun Shen to serve. The six nations once again formed a coalition, but Chun Shenjun appointed Pang Nuan as the commander-in-chief of the coalition. Although the coalition of six nations once attacked Hangu Pass, the Qin State sent all its troops out to fight, and the coalition of six nations was defeated and fled.

After the defeat, King Chu Kaolie blamed Chunshenjun for the defeat, and he began to neglect Chunshenjun from then on. Chun Shen Jun's military ability is half that of Xin Ling Jun. I'm afraid Chu State still exists.

"Although Lord Xinling has not shown the ability to govern the world, Lord Xinling has the strongest military ability. He can even be said to be the most powerful general in the world after Bai Qi.

Back then, he stole talismans to save Zhao, and defeated 20 Qin troops in one battle. Then he led the coalition of princes to defeat the Qin army twice, and even blocked the Han Valley, so that the Qin army did not dare to go eastward. Since the six countries united, no one has ever been able to lead the coalition of princes to achieve such a result. "

In the troubled times of the Warring States period, the military talents were greater than any other. It can even be said that if the six Shandong countries did not have Lord Xinling, the one who unified the world would not be the First Emperor, but King Qin Zhao decades ago. "

Zhou Zhang was left speechless by Xu Fan. Chun Shenjun was really lacking in military ability. It could even be said that it was not a weakness, but that he didn’t understand it at all. Otherwise, when the Six Nations Allied Forces were formed, the commander of the army would not have been able to do so. It can't be Pang Nuan from Zhao. From a good point of view, Lord Chun Shen had the self-knowledge and gave way to Xian. If he defeated Qin, it would be a story for the ages. It's a pity that the coalition forces were defeated and all the responsibilities fell. On Chun Shenjun's body.

In the following time, Xu Fan continued to use Zhou Zhang's old master to fool him. Xu Fan even boasted that Xiang Yan only knew how to fight and was only a general, not a handsome man at all. This angered Zhou Zhang. Xu Fan compared Lord Xinling with Lord Chunshen. His military ability was indeed superior to Lord Chunshen. Zhou Zhang was speechless, but Xiang Yan was a famous general of the Chu State. After fighting with Qin, In the war between the two countries, they even won a great victory, but the veteran general Wang Jian defeated him with absolute strength. However, the people of Chu regarded the country as inferior to the people, not Xiang Yan as inferior to Wang Jian.

Xu Fan smiled and said: "Although Chu State was not as powerful as Qin State at the time, as long as it formulated a correct strategy, it would not be easy for Qin State to destroy Chu State. If I were the commander-in-chief of Chu State, I would not dare to say that Chu State The country will definitely survive, but it will definitely take Qin several decades more.”

Zhou Zhang looked at Xu Fan mockingly and said: "Everyone can talk nonsense, why do you think your talent is better than the famous generals of the six countries?"

Xu Fan smiled and said: "Otherwise, you are the King of Qin and I am the King of Chu. Let's start from the year when King Qin came to power. Let's see how I, the King of Chu, can survive Qin's attack. If Chu can resist you, If King Qin attacks, how about you provide me with food for a month?"

Zhou Zhang sneered and said: "If you fail, you will kowtow nine times to Nai Gong, Chun Shen Jun, and General Xiang Yan."

"can!"

After speaking, Xu Fan drew a simple map of China with a wooden stick on the ground, with the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers and the mountains of the Central Plains drawn on it.

Zhou Zhang looked at Xu Fan in surprise. Maps in this era were the most important military supplies. There was a step to present maps during the surrender ceremony. It was impossible for ordinary people to see the map. Most people didn't even understand their hometown of Baili. outside terrain.

Xu Fan's hand seemed ordinary, but most generals would have difficulty drawing a map of the entire China, so Xu Fan's hand really shocked Zhou Zhang. He no longer dared to regard Xu Fan as a white-faced scholar. , instead thinking that Xu Fan was a nobleman from a family of military generals.

"You draw the capitals of the seven kingdoms and important cities on this map." Xu Fan lacked this point. He didn't know the approximate location of Daqin's counties at all, so he could only leave it to Zhou Zhang to draw.

Zhou Zhang had no objection. He put dots on the map, and each dot was an important city.

"In the ninth year of the First Emperor's reign, Ying Zheng officially took charge. Now that you are the First Emperor, what are you going to do next?" Xu Fan looked at Zhou Zhang and said.

Zhou Zhang thought for a while and said: "Hoard food, recruit talents, and prepare to dominate the world."

Xu Fan smiled and said: "I, the King of Chu, don't have as big ambitions as you, King Qin. I plan to pool Chu's materials to build warships, build docks, and open up connections between all the water systems of Chu."
