To be honest, Shen Bing also hesitated.

Because he thought of a possibility: What if Chu State defeated Qin State with his own help?

Wasn't it the Western Chu Overlord Xiang Yu who overthrew the Qin Empire?

The Qin State in history has only a dozen years of life. Can I skip the Qin State and go straight to Chu and Han to fight... If this is the case, then it is time to occupy Chu State and then go to Liu Bang.

But after thinking about it, Shen Bing gave up the idea.

The reason why Chu was defeated by Qin was not that it was inferior to Qin in strength.

In fact, even if the Qin State destroyed Han, Zhao, and Wei successively and possessed larger land and more population, it was still slightly inferior to Chu State.

There were only 600,000 troops when Wang Jian used the whole country to destroy Chu.

And if Chu State added 60,000 to 700,000 soldiers in the hands of the nobles, that would be nothing, and if there were some more urgently recruited, it would cost 800,000.

The reason why the Kingdom of Chu was destroyed by the Qin army, in the final analysis, was that its internal power was like a disc of sand.

Will he be able to solve these problems when he is the minister of Chu?

How to deal with it?

Do you need to settle the inside first?

It may be right to confuse the foreigners first, but when there is a strong enemy on the outside, it is too late to "announce".

Because Annai must go through a battle of blood and fire, and internal friction will inevitably reduce her strength.

If there is no foreign enemy, it's okay. You can let go and "settle inside" first, and then the country can unite as one.

But when the foreign enemies are already watching and wanting to destroy the Chu State at any time, thinking that "the foreigner must be settled first" is the brain water.

If you can't "Anni", how can you fight against the Qin State, which is already highly centralized. Simply put, the morale of the whole country is soaring to unite the tiger and wolf division of the Central Plains?

Therefore, the cake drawn by Mr. Changping is unrealistic.

Don't think Shen Bing was a traverser, but if he really fell to Chu, he would be powerless to face the situation of Chu.

Thinking of this, Shen Bing sighed:

"Subordinates can understand Mr. Changping, but if Mr. Changping still has this idea, I'm afraid..."

Jun Changping smiled and said:

"I'm afraid what? The lieutenant will cut off the head of the monarch and offer it to the king?"

"If the lieutenant wants this result, just do it!"

"My Lord will die sooner or later, and it is a wish to die in the hands of the lieutenant!"

Shen Bing shook his head and said:

"If your subordinates want to do this, you don't need to wait until this time."

"Since the last time I had a detailed discussion with Changping Jun, his subordinates can lead soldiers to surround the palace and take down Changping Jun and others."

Jun Changping nodded slightly, thought about it and asked:

"Then why..."

Shen Bing interrupted Mr. Changping:

"Mr. Changping thinks there is hope for Chu State?"

"Jun Changping was born in the state of Qin, so he naturally knows where Qin Jun wins."

"If there is no Qin Fa and no promotion system, Monarch Chang Ping thinks his subordinates can restrain these Wei army soldiers?"

"So, let alone Shen Bing governing Chu, there are a hundred Shen Bing, I'm afraid it will not be able to save Chu from danger..."

Mr. Changping disagreed:

"The lieutenant is too modest."

"When Qin and Zhao faced each other, if there was no deputy, how could the Qin Army plan to kill Li Mu and destroy Zhao?"

"Also, the lieutenant has invincible wheeled warships and black armored naval forces. These are very promising in the densely covered land of Chu State..."

Shen Bing shook his head and interrupted Jun Changping:

"Subordinates just want to ask Lord Changping, these black-clad naval forces can be promoted to be rewarded when they serve the Qin army. What about the Chu army?"

Mr. Changping answered without thinking:

"You can also be promoted to be rewarded, just like Qin Jun."

"If I were the king of Chu, I would fully support the lieutenant's reform!"

Shen Bing asked:

"How can those nobles agree?"

"Mr. Changping knows how many troops can the nobles of Chu have?"

After asking Mr. Changping, his voice disappeared.

The reason why the Shangshang Reform could be implemented in the past was that on the one hand, Shangshang had a reform, and on the other hand, Qin Xiaogong had military power.

So Qin Xiaogong said what he said, even if the aristocrat had hatred in his heart and disapproved of the reform, he could do nothing.

But the situation in Chu State was completely different. The nobles of Chu State held military power that could rival the great king. Dare the great king change the law regardless of the interests of the nobles?

These "laws" that made the Qin country stronger actually deprived the nobles of their interests and power and delegated them to the common people.

For example, Shiyi, or for promotion with military exploits.

May I ask which nobleman willingly agree to these "laws"?

At that time, the nobles joined forces to fight against Lord Changping and demanded that Lord Qing is also Shen Bing...Can Lord Changping agree?

If the law cannot be reformed, then even if Chu State can hold it for a while, can it hold it for the rest of its life?

It is only a matter of time before being destroyed.

Thinking of this, Lord Changping knelt down beside the pavilion like a puddle of mud, and said after a while:

"Is there really no choice?"

Shen Bing replied:

"Too late."

"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Shen Bing is also willing to help Jun Changping."

"But now...Chu is already powerless, Lord Changping must not have any more delusions."

"otherwise……"

Otherwise, Shen Bing doesn't need to say more.

Jun Changping nodded and said:

"This gentleman knows what to do, please come back, the vice general!"

Shen Bing only paid a salute to Lord Changping, and then retreated.

Shen Bing believes that with Lord Changping's ability, as long as he breaks his mind to be the king of Chu, he can do the next thing well, without him worrying.

Has Mr. Changping made up his mind?

Shen Bing is not sure.

What Shen Bing can be sure of is that one day in the future, when Lord Changping takes the position of King of Chu and imagines uniting the various forces of Chu Kingdom against Qin, he will remember what Shen Bing said today.

Shen Bing hoped that Changping Jun would think carefully and then make the right choice.

this point is very important.

It's not that Shen Bing wants to save Lord Changping.

In fact, whether Lord Changping was dead or alive had little effect on Shen Bing.

The problem is... if Lord Changping knew that Chu had no future and that surrender was the only way to survive, then Qin would not need Qin to send an army south to the Yangtze River and even attack Baiyue.

As mentioned before, many troops in Chu State are in the hands of nobles.

For Qin State, destroying Chu may just occupy Chu's capital Shouchun and drive out the Chu royal family.

But the real eradication of Chu is a long way to go, even after claiming to unify the Central Plains, it is still fighting against Baiyue... Baiyue is not Vietnam, but Zhejiang and Fujian.

The Qin Dynasty was from 221 BC to 207 BC, a total of 14 years.

However, the battle between Qin and Baiyue lasted from 219 to 214, which lasted five years, and it was fought extremely horribly.

If the conquest of Baiyue is really considered to be the unification of the whole country, then the actual time for Qin to be unified is only 7 years.

At the same time, the war to conquer Baiyue was also one of the reasons for the collapse of the Qin State. If this war can be bypassed and continue to be controlled by the Xiang clan... Isn't it a good thing?
