Chapter 469: If the widow dies, the Lord of Chang'an will inherit the throne of Qin!
Wang Ben looked stunned.
The king recognized his judgment and ordered all officials to move to Yongcheng. This showed that the king was mentally prepared for the fall of Xianyang City.
But why does the king still garrison Xianyang City!
Wang Ben immediately handed over his hand and said: "I would like to ask your Majesty to move to Yongcheng with all his colleagues!"
"The general will definitely try his best to defend the city of Xianyang."
"But if we, the Qin Dynasty, are really unable to protect Xianyang, we must still preserve the foundation of the country and protect the king!"
>Wang Ben said sincerely: "If the territory falls, it can be taken back again."
"But the safety of the king must not be lost!"
"Please, king. Go west to Yongcheng! ”
Feng Quji, Wei Liao and other Qin court officials also solemnly handed over their hands: "I ask for your order to accompany the king to garrison Xianyang City!"
"If Xianyang City is in danger of falling, I will lead my servants to fight to the death and continue. Hold on to the city to cut off the king's queen."
"Guard the king and follow the king's generals to the west to wait for reinforcements!"
The official system of the Qin Dynasty is different from that of later generations.
Except for foreigners, all the courtiers of the Qin Dynasty fought on the battlefield and beheaded enemy soldiers with their own hands!
They are not powerless civil servants, they are also generals who can kill the enemy on horseback and protect the king!
Now that the country is facing a crisis, they can accept their death on the battlefield, and they also believe that Ying Zheng will treat their family members favorably.
But if Ying Zheng dies in battle, the situation in Daqin will be chaotic. All their investments in Ying Zheng will be in vain. It will be difficult for them and the families behind them to maintain their current status and interests!
Ying Zheng rebutted with a firm voice: "If I and all my dear friends retreat to Yongcheng, or even abandon Yongcheng and move to Bashu."
"Then the Zhao army is likely to massacre the city to collect grain. ! ”
"Even if our Great Qin recaptures Guanzhong in the future, there may not be even one out of ten heads in Guanzhong and Guizhou left!"
"My dear friends, you will continue to face enemy troops on the way to escape with me, and there will be dangers at any time. Risk of death!”
No one denies Ying Zheng’s remarks.
The courtiers and generals of the Warring States Period were well aware of the importance of reducing the enemy's effective strength.
City massacre is a very common method used by weak enemies after breaking the city, and the leader among them is - Wu'an Jun Bai Qi!
It was precisely because Bai Qi repeatedly trapped soldiers and massacred Guizhou leaders that Han, Wei and other countries that had been relatively strong in the past plummeted in number, their national power collapsed, and they lost the ability to fight fiercely with Qin.
Li Mu and Bai Qi have the same title as Lord Wu'an, and there is a blood feud between Qin and Zhao. What Bai Qi did, how could Li Mu not repeat it in Qin?
The ministers could only bow their hands solemnly: "I, my ministers, are willing to die for the king!"
"All the people of the Qin Dynasty are not afraid of death!"
Ying Zheng said angrily : "But I can't just watch all my dear friends and all the people of the Qin Dynasty die!"
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Therefore, I want to send all my dear friends to lead the surrounding Guizhou heads to Yongcheng."
"And I will lead the elite troops to station in Xianyang City, waiting for General Wang to return to the city to join forces. , a decisive battle with Zhao!"
"The fact that I am in Xianyang will definitely boost the morale of our Da Qin soldiers."
"In this way, our Da Qin's confidence in defending Xianyang City will become greater. . ”
“If the Zhao army breaks through Xianyang City and beheads the enemy, then Zhao will have succeeded in this battle, but the main force of our army is still attacking Handan City.”
"Zhao Jun will definitely return to the aid of Handan City immediately, and there is no time to massacre our Guanzhong land!"
"Our great Qin country is safe!"
Ying Zheng admitted Wang Ben's family-changing tactics It's the best policy.
But this best policy is based on the premise of ensuring the safety of Ying Zheng.
But if Ying Zheng had to pay such a heavy price to save his life, why should Ying Zheng die?
Ying Zheng showed a smile: "The news of my death will also boost the morale of our Great Qin officers and soldiers."
"We mourn the soldiers, we will win!"
"In this way, our Great Qin can regain the lost ground. It can also save the lives of all your dear friends and the chief of Guanzhong. "
"It only takes a few years for the children to grow up and take over the responsibilities of their fathers, so that I, the Qin Dynasty, can continue to be the overlord of the world!"< br>
The important matter of life and death was spoken calmly by Ying Zheng.
Even the news of his death was used by Ying Zheng.
The hearts of the ministers trembled, and they looked at Ying Zheng with complicated eyes.
Wei Liao refuted it without hesitation: "Your Majesty is the king of our Great Qin! He is also the foundation of our Great Qin!"
"If the Great King survives, then the Great Qin will survive."
"Even if there are a lot of losses in this battle, I must use my life to revive the Qin Dynasty!"
"Please, Your Majesty, please go to Yongcheng for temporary refuge!"
All the ministers raised their hands and shouted: "Please, Your Majesty, please go to Yongcheng for temporary refuge!"
Ying Zheng shook his head: "I am a humble man. It is not the foundation of our country, Qin.”
The officials were stunned.
Ying Zheng did not appoint a prince, or even a queen.
Before the succession rights to the throne are clear, the king is not the foundation of the country. Who is the foundation of the country?
Before the ministers could ask questions, Ying Zheng looked at them firmly: "The people of Great Qin and all your beloved ministers are the foundation of our great Qin!"
"Not allowed. The foundation of the country has been lost!”
A sentence that was completely different from the mainstream view in the world came from Ying Zheng’s mouth, which made all the courtiers feel warm in their hearts.
But Wei Liao still never gave up admonishing: "I know that the king has great Qin in his heart."
"But if it is really for the future of Great Qin, Your Majesty should cherish your own body even more!"
"Only when Your Majesty is healthy can our Great Qin prosper."
"In this world of turmoil, in the age of the Young Master, If the king fails when he is young, the Qin Dynasty may be destroyed!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng was not shy about speaking about life and death, Wei Liao did not hide it and directly said that Ying Zheng died in Xianyang in the battle! consequences.
In Wei Liao's view, only Ying Zheng has the ability to deal with the complex and chaotic situation in today's world. If Young Master Fusu and others were to be promoted to the throne now, it would be a real disaster for Great Qin!
After Ying Zheng was silent for a few moments, he said in a deep voice: "Draw up the decree!"
"If I die in Xianyang..."
"Then I, Lord Chang'an of Great Qin, will Inherit the throne of King Qin!"
One sentence sounded like thunder in the imperial study.
Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang and other court officials all looked at Ying Zheng in astonishment.
Even Li Si and others, who had long known that Ying Zheng was extremely gracious to Ying Chengyu and responded to his requests, were dumbfounded.
In their view, there must be a limit to pampering.
That’s the throne!
The throne, my king!
How many people kill their brothers for the sake of the throne!
Let’s not talk about it from afar, let’s just say that King Chu of Chu, who had just been captured, killed his two brothers for the throne!
Aren't you worried that Lord Chang'an will send someone to assassinate you after hearing this order?
Even if Lord Chang'an can endure it, can Lord Chang'an's subordinates endure it?
Wei Liao opened his mouth: "Your Majesty! This, this, this..."
Wei Liao wanted to persuade Ying Zheng again.
But Wei Liao didn't know what to say.
If Ying Zheng dies in Xianyang City, then the throne of Qin will be seamlessly transferred to Ying Chengyu, who is leading the troops outside, and Li Mu's strategy of killing the king and destroying the country will fail.
Ying Chengyu, who personally leads the army outside, is fully capable of ensuring his own safety under the threat of Zhao Jun, and is also capable of suppressing all dissatisfaction in the country.
His power in the military, clan and court, as well as his own military exploits, can also help him ascend the throne smoothly.
Although Ying Chengyuan has a lazy temperament and knows nothing about government affairs and court disputes, his abilities are stronger than those of Fusu and other young masters.
Ying Chengyu’s military abilities can help Da Qin survive the most dangerous period of weakness.
Sacrifice one Ying Zheng to preserve the Qin's national power to the maximum extent, leaving it to be regrouped after Ying Chengxu succeeds to the throne.
For Da Qin, this is indeed the best way to break the situation under the current situation!
Seeing that the ministers were speechless, Ying Zheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said firmly: "I am just considering the worst."
"My officers and soldiers of Great Qin are brave!"
"Even if the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, as long as we lead our officers and soldiers to defend Xianyang City, we will have a chance to delay the war until the reinforcements return and the victory arrives."
< br>"My dear friends, you don't have to worry about me."
"Immediately arrange for officials at all levels to head to Yongcheng in Guizhou!"
No one answered the order.
Emotion and reason collide in their minds.
No one dared to be the first to stand up and support Ying Zheng’s strategic plan, which can be called suicidal.
When Ying Zheng saw this, he stood up and said: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss it further."
"The doctor immediately prepared a decree and issued an order."
"Retreat from the court!"< br>
...
The monarchs and ministers of Great Qin felt heavy.
At the same time, the bloody atmosphere in Helu City persists for a long time.
Ying Chengyu stepped on a lake of blood and felt very heavy.
“The common people in sixteen cities including Chencheng, Xiangcheng, Shouchun City, etc. rebelled, eight cities have been suppressed, five cities asked for help, and three cities fell.”
"Thirty-seven clans, including the Zhao family, the Qu family, and the Dou family, sent their own soldiers to harass our army's rear, cut off supplies and burn the countryside."
"There are also at least a hundred thousand scattered bandits wandering around. Take advantage of the chaos to burn and kill. "
"Xiang Yan retreated to Kuaiji County. In the name of revenge for the king of Chu, he has recruited 40,000 troops, intending to go north to fight again. "
Listen to Yang! As Hu recited the military report, Ying Chengyu said in a cold voice:
“This is because I think the general’s sword is in trouble!”
Ying Chengyu is so angry!
In only five days since the capture of Helu City, two small-scale rebellions have broken out in Helu City.
Although the scale is not large and the number of people is not large, the sense of danger brought about by being stabbed at any time makes Ying Chengyu quite irritated.
Just now, Ying Chengyu had just finished suppressing the second rebellion. Before he even had time to clean up the battlefield, he heard bad news pouring in from all over the place.
Ying Chengyu’s patience has been worn out!
I really want to be an honest general and not cause trouble to Da Qin and Brother Wang.
But you are so shameless!
Wang Jian comforted in a gentle voice: "Calm down! Lord Chang'an, calm down!"
"Our army is only preparing to take the territory north of the Yangtze River and has no intention of destroying the country."
"The chaos in cities south of the Yangtze River has nothing to do with our army."
"Besides, we are generals. We only need to ensure that there are no conflicts in various places and hand them over to the officials of the imperial court safely."
"The rest is all the officials' business!"
Wang Jian also felt uncomfortable in his heart. happy.
But Wang Jian understands the "Qin Code" better than the legal officials!
Wang Jian is very clear about his rights and responsibilities as a general.
It is his responsibility to safely hand over the city to the officials who will take over later, and the rest is not under his control!
Ying Chengyu slowly grasped the hilt of the sword: "If you don't govern the people, there will be frequent wars in various places, and we will still need to govern."
"Rather than wait until chaos breaks out in the future. It’s better to control it as soon as possible!”
“The rebellious people in various places are provoking the majesty of our Great Qin. I, General An Neng, just sit back and ignore it!”
“Pass this order!”
"Captain Xifeng, Commandant Mengnan, and Commandant Zhuangqiu marched to the east, west, and north respectively."
"Any citizen of the common people who is suspected of causing rebellion does not need to report it, and his clan will be killed immediately!"
