Chapter 424: Your Majesty, don’t you have any idea? Embarrassed big brother!
October 9th, the twelfth year of the Qin Dynasty.
It is getting late and the golden crow hangs high.
The candles in the imperial study room of Xianyang Palace are still burning themselves, illuminating the words on the memorial.
“The King of Yan is still unwilling to form an alliance with us, Great Qin?”
After pondering for a moment, Ying Zheng picked up his pen and gave instructions, then threw the memorial into the basket and waited for the ministers to sort it out.
Moving his shoulders, Ying Zheng noticed a bowl of fish soup on the table.
Taking a sip of the fish soup, Ying Zheng couldn't help but smile: "This tastes very fresh."
"Brother Wang will definitely like it."
If so. Ying Chengyu is still in Chang'an Township, and Ying Zheng will definitely ask Shang Shiling to make another bowl of fish soup and send it to Ying Chengyu immediately.
It's a pity that Ying Chengyu has already left Neishi County.
Putting down the soup bowl with some longing, Ying Zheng was about to pick up the next memorial when Wang Bo's voice came from outside the imperial study room:
"Your Majesty, Urgent report on the situation of Chang'an Junjun!"
Ying Zheng smiled in surprise.
Could this be the understanding between brothers?
Ying Zheng said loudly: "Pass!"
The door opened, Wang Bo held the bamboo slip in his hand and hurried to Ying Zheng.
After verifying the clay-seal letter, Ying Zheng took out the bamboo slips from the tube and unfolded them, scanning the words on the slips.
[On October 2, the twelfth year, the state of Chu Shangzhu took advantage of the night fire to attack the water village of Dengcheng, but failed. They also instigated Huangping, the prime minister of Dengcheng County, to rebel, and ordered the Chu army to fake the Qin army's defeat and boarded Dengcheng. He kidnapped and forced to surrender Dengcheng County Magistrate Wu Cun, Dengcheng County Lieutenant Eji refused to retreat and died with the city. 】
【Dengcheng fell, our navy also retreated and retreated to Danyang. 】
[On October 5, 12th year, the main force of our army went south from Dahong Mountain, quickly conquered all the cities on both sides of the Jianshui River, recaptured E City, and controlled the mouth of the Han River into the hands of our army. 】
【Now our army and the Chu army are relying on the Han River to outflank each other, threaten each other, and cut off each other's supplies. 】
【Our army has more troops, but it also consumes more food and grass. 】
【Our army has more infantry, but the Chu army’s navy is stronger. 】
【Therefore, I believe that our army may be in a stalemate with the Chu army for a long time. 】
[I request my order. I hope that the king will grant me the right to make decisions before the battle, the right to pardon guilt, and the right to recruit troops before the battle. I will also send your superior Yao Jia to help me, and then implement a major rotation of all officials in Nanyang County in order to win! 】
[On October 5, the twelfth year of the twelfth year, the prince of Qin Chang'an came to the city of E to pay homage to the king! 】
Looking at these words, Ying Zheng's eyes, which were originally smiling, became colder and colder.
Ying Zheng can accept Wu Cun’s surrender.
In order to survive, don’t be mean.
But Ying Zheng couldn't accept Huang Ping's betrayal and backstabbing!
Ying Zheng could not accept Huang Ping stabbing Ying Cheng in the back!
A cold voice came from Ying Zheng's mouth: "It is said that ministers with a rank of more than two thousand stones should go to the imperial study immediately to discuss matters!"
Even if he did not see the words on the bamboo slips, Wang Bo He could also feel Ying Zheng's anger. With a heart full of anxiety, Wang Bo solemnly handed over his hands:
"Wei!"
After Wang Bo closed the door to the imperial study, Ying Zheng continued to unfold the bamboo slips.
[Brother Wang, they bullied me (_)]
[I once thought that the nobles and people would betray me, Da Qin, but I never thought that they would not even give up any face. They are so shameless! 】
【I need to have basic control over the cities in Nanyang County that are still in the hands of Da Qin, and at least ensure their safety, otherwise I will not be able to sleep at night! 】
Ying Zheng’s already rising anger became even more intense.
What a brave traitor!
This group of traitors not only betrayed our great Qin, but also made the king’s brother tremble with fear!
The prince's younger brother is still a child. He is such a sleepy kid, but he was so frightened by these traitors that he couldn't sleep!
How can I be so gentle with you!
[However, the situation in Nanyang County also made me discover more deeply the depth of the contradiction between the people of Nanyang County, or the Chu region, the nobles, the barbarians, and the child servants. 】
[As much as the Nanyang people and Nanyang nobles hate our Great Qin, the Nanyang barbarians and Nanyang servants will love our Great Qin. 】
【Since the Chu State has chosen to borrow the power of the countrymen and nobles, I intend to borrow the power of the savages and child servants. 】
【Today's war situation is urgent, and I cannot leave the military camp. I can only ask your superior Yao Jia to go on my behalf. I don't know whether it will be useful. 】
Ying Zheng nodded involuntarily.
Although Ying Chengxuan was not sure about this strategy, Da Qin was not the Chu State and did not have such a serious internal problem of slave owners and old nobles. Even if Ying Chengxuan failed, it would not have much negative impact.
What Qin paid was nothing but Yao Jia.
Worth a try!
【In the end, I just encountered some small, solvable difficulties! 】
【Brother Wang, please do not station yourself in another capital because of this, and do not go on a military expedition yourself! 】
【(╬◣д◢)】
[Otherwise, after my victory in this battle, I will definitely go fishing in Xianyang Palace every day until I can’t find a single fish in Xianyang Palace]
[o(^｀)o]
[王Brother, you are already a mature king. Guard Xianyang City, pay attention to safety, and don't worry me! 】Ying Zheng almost laughed out loud when he saw the thick strokes and the two glaring triangular eyes in the kaomoji.
Why is Brother Wang so naive!
But seeing Ying Chengyu's threat, Ying Zheng couldn't laugh anymore.
Although Ying Chengyu's threat seems childish in Ying Zheng's eyes, it is precisely because of his naivety that Ying Zheng believes that Ying Chengyu will definitely keep his word.
If Ying Zheng still runs over immediately after seeing Ying Chengxuan’s letter asking for help, then Ying Chengxuan will definitely treat Xianyang Palace as his pond after his triumph!
Ying Zheng is not short of those two fish - Ying Chengyu can't catch many anyway.
But once Ying Chengyu often goes to Xianyang Palace, then Ying Zheng will no longer think about the memorial that he has been greedy for!
Ying Zheng smiled helplessly, warmly and dotingly: "This is Brother Wang."
"In order to no longer be urged by Brother Wang, we should really push forward the reform as soon as possible!"
Carefully opened the bamboo slips, took down the small note that Ying Chengyu left for him, and put it away. Wei Liao and other important officials of the Qin Dynasty also hurried over, panting and handing over their hands:
"Your Majesty ! ”
Although there are still several courtiers who have not arrived, Ying Zheng is unwilling to wait any longer.
Handing Ying Chengyu's military report to Xiong Qi, Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Dengcheng County Magistrate rebelled, Dengcheng County Magistrate was kidnapped, Dengcheng County Lieutenant died defending the city, Dengcheng has fallen."
"Now Chang'an Jun's troops seem to have a great chance of winning, but there are many dangers."
"How do you, dear friends, think you can help Chang An Jun?"
Ying Chengyu's military report is here Passed back and forth among the generals.
Wei Liao, Li Si and others looked at it and were speechless.
If they remembered correctly, this was the first time Ying Chengyu had suffered a defeat on a local battlefield.
No wonder Ying Chengyu refused in every possible way before setting off for the expedition.
Now it seems that this battle is indeed difficult to fight!
After reading the military report, Yao Jia said in a deep voice: "If this move is beneficial to the Qin Dynasty, I am willing to go!"
Wei Liao continued: "The state of Chu Shangzhu is based on this A section of the Han River and the Yangtze River was used as an urn to be named Chang'an Lord."
"The Lord of Chang'an is using the Han River as an urn to seal the Chu State of Shangzhu."
"I believe that Lord Chang'an's judgment is good, and this war may fall into a stalemate and a protracted war."
< br>"As for Lord Chang'an's request..."
Wei Liao was a little embarrassed.
It doesn’t matter whether the right to make decisions on the spot is given or not. Anyway, Ying Chengyu has always made decisions on the spot.
The power of amnesty gives Ying Chengyu the right to pardon anyone for any crime at will. This sounds outrageous, but it is actually a tacit understanding between many generals and kings.
After all, Qin's laws serve war, and not war serves Qin's laws.
In the face of war and victory, the law must give way!
What really gives Wei Liao a headache is the right to recruit troops before war!
Once he has this right, Ying Chengxuan can legally and reasonably expand his team in an disorderly manner.
This will not only put greater pressure on the rear supplies, but also give Ying Chengyu the possibility of threatening the royal power!
After all, if Ying Chengyu led two million soldiers recruited from the old lands of Chu, Han, and Wei to fight back to Xianyang City, why couldn't Ying Chengyu sit on the highest position? !
Wei Liao was very embarrassed, but Ying Zheng was not embarrassed at all: "The request made by Lord Chang'an does not need to be discussed."
"Since Lord Chang'an made such a request, Lord Chang'an naturally has his reasons. "
"What I want to discuss is how to further support Anjun!"
In the imperial study room, the officials were silent.
My heart calls me a good guy.
Even if you don't help Chang'an Jun, Chang'an Jun can bring down Great Qin's logistics many times.
Are you going to take the initiative to contribute to Changan Jun?
Your Majesty, do you have no idea how much wealth our Great Qin has, or do you have no idea how much Chang'an Lord can do?
Wei Liao said tactfully: "Your Majesty, I believe that based on the friendship between Lord Chang'an and Your Majesty, if Lord Chang'an really has needs, he will naturally not hold it in his heart."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "If If Chang'an Jun is like this, I will feel relieved."
"Although I am young and not very capable, I always want to share my worries."
"Don't worry. He said that his own difficulties were the difficulties encountered by others. Chang'an Jundu often dealt with them silently, preferring to bear more pressure on himself rather than make things difficult for others. "
"Now the people in the rear of Daqin are in trouble. Mr. Changan is fully aware of the predicament.”
"I am worried that Lord Chang'an is concerned about the rear, so he dare not make requests!"
All the courtiers couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng, their small eyes filled with big doubts.
Your Majesty, is the Chang'an Lord you mentioned the same person as the Chang'an Lord we thought?
Are you talking about the Chang'an Lord of Zhao who is over seventy years old?
Listening to your description, it doesn’t sound like our Great Qin Lord Chang’an!
Li Siwen said in a loud voice: "Since Lord Chang'an is worried about the rear, in my opinion, what we have to do is to consolidate a stable rear for Lord Chang'an, accumulate national strength, and provide immediate assistance when Lord Chang'an needs it."
"In this way, all the generals who are on the battlefield can feel at ease."
Ying Zheng is now like an old father who knows that his children have been wronged in other places.
He wanted to do his best to help his children, but when he checked his pockets, he found that except for the money to maintain the family's basic expenses, there was no money left!
Facing the troubled looks of all the courtiers, Ying Zheng suppressed the guilt and helplessness in his heart and nodded gently: "What Li Aiqing said is absolutely true."
"My dear friends, what do you think, if the court no longer helps, how should Chang'an Lord break the situation?"
