Chapter 281 Even an omnipotent person can be trapped by life and death!
As the spy chief under Ying Zheng, and having driven for Ying Zheng many times at critical moments, Pi Guan knew very well how deep the relationship between Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyuan was.
No matter how heavy the reward Ying Zheng gives to Ying Chengyu, Pi Guan will not be surprised by it.
But this time, the reward given by Ying Zheng was both heavy and urgent. For Ying Chengyu, it was not just a reward, but a burden!
Pi Guan didn't want Ying Zheng to do it out of favor, but instead make Ying Chengyu unhappy, thereby affecting the relationship between the two brothers.
Because in today's world, only Ying Zheng would treat Ying Chengyu as a child!
Once there is a gap between Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu, even if Ying Chengyu's power is not enough to reverse the situation, it can still shake the court and destroy the hard-won stability!
Ying Zheng smiled: "Ai Qing also thinks that the reward given to Lord Chang'an by me is too heavy?"
Pi Guan cupped his hands and said: "That's true!"
" I think all the ministers thought the same way, but they may have not said it out of various considerations.”
"But I really don't want to see the rift between the king and Lord Chang'an, so I directly remonstrate with him!"
Ying Zheng said quietly: "Jun Chang'an also told me that the rewards are too heavy and the pressure is too great."
“But, he is the prince’s younger brother and the Lord of Chang’an of Great Qin!”
“No matter how much pressure the prince’s reward puts on him, he must endure it. "
"He is still a child now, but he cannot remain a child for the rest of his life."
"This is his mission and his innate responsibility!"
Ying Chengyu returned from attacking Yan. Feeling the decline of the Yan country, he felt heavy and worried about the future.
No matter how worried he was, Ying Chengyu's subconscious was always attracted by the history books, believing that Ying Zheng could live to at least forty-nine years old.
Ying Chengxuan has also been arranging the overall plan according to this time limit.
However, Ying Zheng didn’t know that he could live to be forty-nine in the original history!
Since Yao Jia brought the news to Ying Zheng that King Zhao Yan was in poor health and might be in critical condition, until Ying Chengxuan returned to the court, Ying Zheng did not show a smile once.
Because Zhao Wangyan is only ten years older than Ying Zheng!
When Ying Zheng was not King Zheng of Qin, and Zhao Yan was not King Yan of Zhao, Ying Zheng and Zhao Yan were already familiar with each other, and even had some old grudges. They were peers and old friends.
Now that the old friend who was like an enemy, like a friend, and also a king, was about to die soon, it was difficult not to make Ying Zheng feel sad about the death of a rabbit or a fox.
Thinking again about King Zhuang Xiang who died at the age of thirty-five, Ying Zheng could not help but worry about how long he could live.
More than ten years later, will we be dying like Zhao Yan, or will our souls return to the ancestral temple like our father? !
Only more than ten years were not enough for Ying Zheng to realize his wish, not even enough for Fusu and other young masters to grow up.
Ying Zheng knows very well what kind of tigers and wolves he will face when he ascends the throne at a young age!
Even if I can live a few more years and let my descendants ascend the throne in their twenties and thirties, can my descendants do better than King Hui of Yan?
Will Great Qin collapse like the Yan State after the collapse of King Yan Zhao? !
Even though he seemed to be omnipotent, he was helpless when faced with life and death.
Fortunately, Da Qin still has Ying Chenglong!
A series of rewards such as fiefdoms and military academies and the pressure placed on Ying Chengxuan were all things Ying Zheng prepared for himself.
Ying Zheng doesn’t want Ying Chengyu to bear all this.
But if Ying Zheng suddenly dies one day, Ying Zheng needs Ying Chengyu to step forward and fight for him!
Pi Guan whispered: "Of course, such a generous reward from your Majesty may make Lord Chang'an's subordinates ambitious and make more noise against Lord Chang'an."
" Lord Chang'an will not listen. I will definitely not do anything wrong to the king, but I am afraid that my subordinates will coerce me!"
Ying Zheng's voice was very calm: "As long as I am still alive, no one will dare to have second thoughts!"
"The king's brother is only three years younger than me. If I am old, my king's brother is also old."
"If my son cannot even compete with the old king's brother, then the king of Qin will be the king of Qin." He doesn’t deserve to do it either!”
The leather tube is quite recognized for this.
If both Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu can die of old age naturally, then when Ying Zheng dies, Fusu will be forty or fifty years old.
If Fusu, who was at the peak of his life, could not defeat Ying Chenglong, who was seventy and eighty years old, then he really was not worthy of being the King of Qin.
But what if, my king, you die young?
If you die young and look around the Qin Dynasty, who can control the Lord of Chang'an?
At that time, the Lord of Chang'an was able to usurp the throne and become the king!
Pi Guan was waiting for Ying Zheng’s next words and countermeasures, but found that Ying Zheng had already raised the spoon and continued to drink soup!
In an instant, the pupils of the leather tube were shaken.
He finally understood why he felt something was wrong with the way Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu got along.
How does Ying Zheng treat Ying Chengyu the same way he takes care of his younger brother?
Ying Zheng is clearly training the crown prince!
......
On the other side, Ying Chengyu still didn’t know how many tasks Ying Zheng had arranged for him.
Drapped in starlight, Ying Chengyu galloped all the way out of Xinzheng City and entered the military camp outside the city.
I saw dozens of bonfires still burning brightly at the center of the army. Thousands of soldiers gathered around the bonfires. Even though they were quite sleepy, they still managed not to go to sleep.
"Brother, let's go to bed first." Peng Yue yawned and whispered: "We just called the update, and it's already past midnight now."
"The coach is probably fast asleep, so how can he Return to the army?"
Peng Cheng shook his head: "The coach said, he will come back."
Looked at Peng Gu, who was lying on Peng Yue, sleeping soundly. , Peng Cheng's voice turned gentle: "If you two feel sleepy, go to rest first. The eldest brother will wait here."
Peng Yue immediately refused: "I'm not greedy for a warm tent, it's actually cold tonight. Feng Sheng, I don’t want my brother to waste his body like this, waiting for an opportunity that is so slim that it almost doesn’t exist!”
Peng Cheng looked to his side: "No matter how slim the hope is, it is hope after all." "It is the possibility of one in ten thousand, which is a huge opportunity for people like you and me."
“Brother, I would rather wait all night than miss it!”
Thousands of people were sitting around Peng Cheng.
Some of them are old Koreans. Although they have paid their bills, they are not in a hurry to go home.
Some of them were from the Wei Dynasty. Because they had accomplished some meritorious deeds and could go home without disbanding in advance, they followed Ying Chengyu all the way here.
Thousands of people of different ages, origins and languages.
The only thing that is the same is the strong and blazing enterprising spirit!
Peng Yue said helplessly: "But I think it is more likely that the coach will return to camp tomorrow."
"If the eldest brother waits hard tonight, and the coach comes tomorrow morning, wouldn't it be the case? Missed a great opportunity?”
Peng Cheng said firmly: "The coach said that he will return to the camp today!"
Suddenly, a low voice of surprise sounded: "The coach is back!"
Peng Yue had a look on his face question mark.
He couldn't figure out why Ying Chengyu ran back to the military camp at three o'clock in the morning?
Is the bed no longer warm or is the concubine no longer fragrant?
Is there really a noble man as high as Ying Chengyu who would value the agreement with ordinary soldiers so much?
Peng Cheng stood up suddenly and whispered excitedly: "The coach is indeed back!"
"Second brother, wake up third brother quickly and straighten your clothes!"
Yuan The row of torches stopped for a long time, until the soldiers beside the campfire adjusted their clothes, then the row of torches continued to move forward, and finally stopped in front of the soldiers.
Ying Chengyu got off his horse and walked towards the soldiers with a smile on his face. He bowed his hands and saluted: "Everyone, I have been waiting for a long time."
Peng Cheng and other soldiers all raised their hands: "Greetings to the commander!"
Ying Chengyu pressed his hands down: "Youpaoze is resting, don't disturb them."
"Sit down and talk. , Bafu, Guafu, distribute the wine I brought to you all.”
All the soldiers quickly shut up, for fear of waking up more Paoze to compete with them.
Ying Chengyu blinked at the soldiers: "Don't tell your Majesty that this is the finest wine I stole from the wine storehouse of Xinzheng Palace!"
"It smells good!"
While speaking, Ying Chengyu picked up a jar of wine and handed it to Peng Gu: "Come! Try it all!"
Peng Gu, who had just woken up not long ago Seriously suspecting that I was still dreaming, I stepped hard on my left foot with my right foot.
“His~~~”
Feeling a sharp pain, Peng Gu realized that he was not dreaming. He grinned and hurriedly thanked: “Thank you, coach!”
Ying Chengyu chuckled and shook his head: "Now that the army has dispersed, all of you can disarm and return to the fields, and I am no longer your commander-in-chief."
"You don't need to address yourself as commander-in-chief, just call me Lord Chang'an." "Yes."
"However, although the army dispersed, I will remember the bravery of all of you in this battle."
Taking open the mud, Ying Chengyu held up his wine. The altar loudly shouted: "Drink to win!"
Thousands of soldiers also raised the wine jar and said: "Drink to win!"
After pouring two large gulps of wine into his mouth, Ying Cheng sat down on the ground, leaning on the mouth of the wine jar with his elbows. He looked at Peng Cheng and others with a smile: "I originally wanted to go back to the army this afternoon. Gentlemen, let’s see if there are any problems that need to be solved by me.”
“But I never thought that some trivial matters in the court would prevent me from returning in time.”
"However, you all have been waiting in the cold wind for me until now."
"But what are your demands?"
As soon as Ying Chengyu finished speaking, Peng Cheng He stood out without hesitation, raised his hands and shouted: "Commander, humble general Peng Cheng, is willing to follow the commander and serve as a soldier under the commander's command!"
Seeing that Peng Cheng was the first to come out, many soldiers secretly hated him.
Many of them had already spoken, but their voices were suppressed by Peng Cheng, who actually took the lead!
Ying Chengxuan quickly remembered this person's information: "Pengcheng of Changyi, who entered the city first when he attacked Xiangcheng, was awarded the title of Grand Duke and the title of Hundred General for his achievements in attacking Xiangcheng first."
“It is the brave and brave warrior who is carrying it!”
Being first has always been a great achievement.
Ying Chengyu’s memory is also particularly profound.
Peng Cheng nodded excitedly: "Coach, I am the one who conquered the city first!"
Ying Chengyu looked behind Peng Cheng: "These two are the ones who conquered the city first!" Your brothers, Peng Yue and Peng Gu."
"I still remember that you and the other three blocked my halberd in the past."
Peng Yue and Peng Gu quickly handed over their hands: "Wu. Chang Peng Yue/Little Husband Peng Gu were reckless and abrupt in the past, please forgive me, coach!”
Ying Chengyu couldn't help but take another look at Peng Yue.
During the first expedition, there were forty-two Liu Ji under Ying Chengyu. This time when he went eastward, there were more than a hundred Liu Ji under Yingcheng Yu, and a soldier named Peng Yue There are six people too!
So Ying Chengyu just glanced at Peng Yue one more time, then looked at Peng Cheng and asked: "Do you and the other three brothers intend to serve as my soldiers?"
Peng Cheng suddenly handed over his hand. : "I am willing to die for the commander!"
