Chapter 216 Brother Wang, don’t be afraid, the eldest brother is here!
Zongyue has attacked Qin five times.
Every battle against Qin will cause great pain to Qin.
If defeated, the entire territory outside Hangu Pass will be lost, and there will even be worries about the destruction of the country!
A mountain of pressure lingered in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin.
The blood vessels at Ying Zheng's temples were throbbing.
If I remember correctly, the main purpose of sending troops this time is just to divert domestic conflicts with the help of war, right?
I have never even thought about destroying Zhao through this battle. I only want a small victory in this battle to achieve all the strategic demands!
How did it develop into the sixth battle of Zongyue against Qin!
No wonder the words in Ying Chengyu's military newspaper were so frightening. The mess Ying Chengyu caused this time was really too big.
It's so big that even Ying Zheng may not be able to handle it!
When the atmosphere was tense and the ministers were silent, Wei Zhuang suddenly spoke: "I would like to ask Marquis Wenxin to come back!"
With these words, the air pressure in the Imperial Study Room dropped even lower. point.
All the courtiers looked at Wei Xiang in shock, and Xiong Qi even stared at Wei Xiang angrily.
Kui Zhuang ignored those glances and just said in a deep voice: "Marquis Wenxin once assisted the king and the late king to withstand the fourth and fifth battles of the Five Kingdoms attacking Qin."
< br>
"When it comes to resisting the Zongyue Kingdom, except for Yang Wengzi, Marquis Wenxin has the most experience in our Qin Dynasty."
"Therefore, I advise you, and the king personally invites Marquis Wenxin to come back."
>"I am willing to give up the position of left prime minister!"
Xiong Qi felt cold in his heart.
Advice?
You are indeed quite mean!
Although Wei Zhuang was willing to give up his position as left prime minister and let Lu Buwei serve as left prime minister after returning to the court.
From a nominal point of view, Xiong Qi stabilizes Lu Buwei by one level.
But that was Lu Buwei!
Not to mention just serving as the left prime minister, as long as he enters the court, he can quickly gather a power group mainly composed of retainers and foreigners.
As long as Lu Buwei can reduce Ying Zheng's wariness against him, or stimulate Ying Zheng's desire to check and balance, Lu Buwei's return to the position of Prime Minister will be just around the corner!
Xiong Qi immediately refuted: "The words of Prime Minister Wei are too ridiculous."
"Marquis Wenxin was able to assist the king in resisting the attack of the five countries on Qin in the past. One of the reasons was that the king commanded him properly. The second reason is that our Qin Dynasty is united and our soldiers are brave!”
“Now that Marquis Wenxin has been demoted due to his crime, why did he let a guilty minister return to the position of the Three Dukes because of the invasion of the country?”
>
“Could it be that without the help of Marquis Wenxin, our country, the Qin Dynasty, would be unable to fight against other countries!”
Xiong Qi's last words penetrated Ying Zheng's heart.
Ying Zheng recognized that Lu Buwei was an outstanding talent.
But can’t Da Qin survive without Lu Buwei?
Is this person weaker than Lu Buwei?
Ying Zheng worked hard and planned for several years before finally kicking Lu Buwei into prison. How could he respectfully invite Lu Buwei back to the court when he encountered a problem and continue to let Lu Buwei suppress him? !
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "What the Prime Minister said is true."
"Please reply to what the Marquis Xin said. There is no need to mention it again."
Kui Zhuang immediately handed over his hand: "I obey!"< br>
Xiong Qi does not want Lu Buwei to return to the court.
Kai Zhuang does not want Lu Buwei to return to the court!
If Lu Buwei returns to the court, Wei Liao can continue to serve as the national captain, and Xiong Qi may return to the position of left prime minister, but where can he be?
The Wei-shaped general has no place to stand!
The reason why the suggestion to invite Lu Buwei to return to the court was made was to provoke General Ying Zheng and seduce Xiong Qi and others to speak out against it, which blocked the way to invite Lu Buwei to return to the court from the beginning.
Now that the goal has been achieved, Wei Zhuang immediately showed his value: "I advise you again, please send envoys to Chu openly to negotiate peace with Qu, and win over Qu with wealth, weapons, war horses, etc. Shi!"
Ying Zheng thought thoughtfully: "Why did Prime Minister Wei come up with this strategy?"
Wei Zhuang explained: "As far as I know, the newly established King of Chu is not convinced by the people, and intends to weaken the various tribes."
"The state of Chu is currently full of internal contradictions, and there are many barriers between the King of Chu and the nobles of Chu."
"My intention is to divide the Chu army!"
"After Wu Qi's reform, the King of Chu repeatedly suppressed the Qu family and allowed the Jing and Zhao clans to embezzle the Qu family."
“After Qu Yuan’s reform, the Qu family was opposed by the nobles of Chu State.”
"Now that the Qu family is in a very difficult situation in the Chu State, they are truly an excellent target for us, Great Qin, to win over."
Ying Zheng thought thoughtfully: "Winning over the Qu family?"
" What does Xiangbang think of Prime Minister Wei's plan?"
Xiong Qi immediately replied: "Qu's current situation is the same as what Prime Minister Wei said."
"But the overall situation of Qu's current situation is the same. The tendency is to ease the relationship with the royal family and be quite cautious.”
"I think that the Qu family will definitely be tempted by our Great Qin family, but they may not agree."
Xiong Qi changed the subject: "I think the purpose of coming to Prime Minister Wei is not to win over the Qu family, but to win over the Qu family. Let the King of Chu and the nobles of the Chu State see that our Great Qin is wooing the Qu family, so as to create a gap with the Qu family!"
Kui Xiang smiled and handed over his hands: "What Xiong Xiang said is absolutely true."
< br>“In the past, the Qu family was one of the four major clans along with Dou, Cheng, and Wei (wěi), and it has been the sole dominant family for decades.” , the two Zhao clans dominated Chu State together.”
"Is the King of Chu not afraid? Are the nobles not afraid? Is the Qu family not afraid?"
"No matter whether the Qu family agrees with my Da Qin's wooing, my Da Qin's hand extended to the Qu family will intensify the gap. "
"As long as there is chaos within the Chu army, maybe the Chu army will collapse without a fight!"
Ying Zheng nodded happily: "This is a very good strategy."
" The matter of wooing the Qu family was left to the Prime Minister's arrangement."
"In addition to wealth, weapons, and war horses, I can also give Qu the status of a beauty and the status of a beloved man."
"This matter needs to be done in a showy way!"
< br>Xiong Qi tentatively asked: "Is this beauty selected by the Qu family or..."
Ying Zheng said casually: "I have no intention of managing the affairs of the harem. The prime minister and the queen mother will discuss it. "In the current harem system of the Qin Dynasty, only concubines who have given birth to children are eligible to be named wives.
And the first echelon below the madam is the beauty!
The beauty not only has more power and better treatment, but also enjoys more favors and more time to cultivate feelings with the King of Qin. Most importantly, she has more opportunities for the King of Qin. A chance to give birth to an heir!
Why can a relative of the Chu family have tremendous power in the Qin Dynasty, and even influence the structure of the Qin State?
The root of this lies in the two empresses, Empress Dowager Xuan and Empress Dowager Huayang, as well as several ladies surnamed Mi and more than ten beauties surnamed Mi in the Palace of Qin!
Since Ying Zheng took office, Queen Mother Huayang has repeatedly proposed to enrich Ying Zheng's harem, but Ying Zheng declined. Now, Ying Zheng finally spoke up.
Although it was Qu's daughter who was brought in this time.
Ke Qu’s daughter, her surname is also Mi!
Coupled with Ying Zheng's delegation of power, the Chu family relatives can choose a beautiful woman who loves the Queen Mother Huayang to enter the palace!
The promise made by Ying Zheng lightly made Xiong Qi excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He suddenly handed over his hand: "Wei!"
"I will do my best to promote this win-over!"
Wei Zhuang added: "If you want this strategy to succeed, you still need the cooperation of Chang'an Jun and his troops."
"Only Chang'an Jun and his troops resolutely resisted on the front line, allowing the Chu State to see that our Qin army is still at the forefront." Only if you are sharp will the Chu State pay attention to our Da Qin's win over."
"If Chang'an Jun's troops are defeated at the first touch, or even defeated without a fight, the continuous expansion of the territory will bridge the internal conflicts of the Chu State to the greatest extent!"
"At that time, we will have no choice but to adopt other strategies."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "However, there are only more than 130,000 troops left in Chang'an Jun's army."
"The two kingdoms of Yan and Chu have 450,000 troops!"
"If Chang'an Jun's troops fight fiercely with these two countries, they may be in danger of total annihilation!"
Kui Zhuang was solemn. He handed over his hand and said: "Therefore, I ask the king to send an order to Lord Chang'an to defend Wei at all costs and at least buy two months for our great Qin!"
"With Lord Chang'an's ability, I have every chance to do it!" ”
Ying Zheng frowned.
If other generals were on the front line, Ying Zheng would definitely issue such an order.
As a general, he is protected by his own soldiers. Even if the army is defeated, he will have a chance to escape back to Daqin. The resistance of the general will not be very strong.
If a general dies in battle, Ying Zheng will definitely reward his family generously.
If this will fulfill Ying Zheng’s orders, promotion to the rank of nobility will be a piece of cake.
But, that is Ying Chengyu!
What if Ying Chengyu didn't escape?
What if Ying Chengyu disobeys and goes to charge into the enemy formation himself, and then falls into the enemy formation?
What if Ying Cheng is so stubborn that he has to hold on for two months, even if the soldiers around him are empty, he will not escape?
What if...
Ying Zheng's heart aches when he thinks of the dangers Ying Chengyu may face!
If faced with a choice between Da Qin's certainty of retreating to Hangu Pass and the possibility of Ying Chengyu dying in battle, Ying Zheng would choose the former without hesitation.
The territory can be fought again, the fighter plane can be waited for, and the national strength can be slowly built up.
But brother, that’s all!
After making the decision, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "It is too risky to hold back more than 400,000 troops with more than 100,000 troops!"
"I want to conquer all the ten thousand troops in Da Qin. Those who are over four years old and under sixty years old join the army and join the army of Chang'an Jun."
"I personally led the Xianyang camp and the palace guards to Xinzheng City!"
Wei Liao and other courtiers looked at Ying Zheng in disbelief.
What did they hear?
Ying Zheng was stationed in Xinzheng City?
Wei Liao stepped forward without hesitation to admonish: "Your Majesty, no!"
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "I have no intention of personally conquering, but I am just stationed in Xinzheng City."
"Even if Chang'an Jun's troops are defeated, Wei is still far away from Xinzheng City, which is enough for me to return to Hangu. "
"My dear friends, there is no need to worry."
Kai Zhuangye said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Xinzheng City is a new place, and the people's hearts are not stable." >
“As a king, how can you be in danger so easily?”
"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng raised the military report sent back by Ying Chengyu: "The Lord of Chang'an destroyed Wei eight days ago, and I just received the military report today."
"But six days ago, the King of Chu had already received the news of Lord Chang'an's destruction of Wei."
"I was six days later than the King of Chu!"
"How ridiculous ! ”
"Now the war is imminent, and the fighter planes are fleeting."
"Only by stationing a few people in Xinzheng, can we learn about the battlefield situation at a speed not inferior to that of Chu, Yan, and Zhao, and issue orders immediately!"
>
Wei Liao said sincerely: "It is indeed much slower for Da Qin to learn about the war situation than other countries."
"But as long as the Chang'an monarch is given the right to make decisions when the opportunity arises, this difficulty can be solved. There is no need for the king to step forward. Stationed in Xinzheng!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand subconsciously: "Chang'an Jun is just a child."
"He knows so much!"
Official ministers:? ? ?
Chang'an Jun, is he still a child?
The child you are talking about has already killed two of the seven heroes, carried hundreds of thousands of dead souls on his back, stirred up the world, and contributed to the sixth attack of the Zongyue Kingdom.
Your Majesty, I am afraid you are the only one in the world who thinks that Lord Changan is still a child!
Ying Zheng gave the order that he could not refuse: "There is no need to discuss this matter any further. Please prepare for the expedition as soon as possible!"
The ministers had no choice but to give up: "Wei!"
Ying Zheng He raised his eyes and looked to the east, looking in the direction of Ying Chengyu as if he could penetrate thousands of rivers and mountains.
Don’t be afraid, brother Wang.
Big brother is here!
