Chapter 195 Wang Jian takes command

Qin State, in Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng slammed the memorial in his hand to the ground and roared: "Where is Li Xin now?"

The secret guard who came to report the news tremblingly replied: "Your Majesty, General Li Xin and General Meng Tian have retreated to Nanyang and are temporarily recuperating there."

After a period of calming down, Ying Zheng has gradually calmed down a bit, and he also knows that Li Xin is not to blame for this failure, and he can only blame Changping Jun.

Thinking of Lord Changping, Ying Zheng's suppressed anger showed signs of rekindling.

Since taking office, Lord Changping and other members of the Chu family have helped him a lot, and Ying Zheng has always trusted him.

Originally, when he decided to attack Chu, Ying Zheng wanted to remove him due to the advice of Lord Changping. However, thinking of his achievements, he temporarily transferred him out, thinking that he would be transferred back after everything was calmed down.

Let him enter Chu this time in the hope that he can make another new contribution to the Qin State, and then he can be recalled to the court in a legitimate manner.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he got the news of Lord Changping's betrayal. As a king whose life-long goal was to unify all the Xia, he was betrayed by Lord Changping. Ying Zheng's anger could no longer be suppressed.

Since taking office, Ying Zheng has successively eliminated Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, and has taken sole control of the military and political power of the Qin State.

After that, Han and Wei were destroyed successively, and Zhao and Yan were also crippled.

It can be said that along the way, there have been almost no setbacks and we have been invincible.

In this attack on Chu, Ying Zheng also asked veteran generals Wang Jian and Meng Zhi for their opinions in advance, but they both said that if he wanted to conquer Chu, he would need an army of 600,000.

But after these years of war, Ying Zheng felt that Qin's army was invincible and there was no need to spend so many troops on Chu.

Therefore, when Li Xin proposed that Chu could be captured with only 200,000 troops, Ying Zheng believed it and assigned Meng Tian, ​​another up-and-coming famous general from the Young Heroes faction, to him.

But now, everything is over. Li Xin's failure in attacking Chu Land, doesn't it mean that his decision-making was wrong?

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng once again overturned the desk in front of him angrily, looked at the secret guard in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Where are the families of Lord Changping and Lord Changwen? Catch them all."

The Shadow Secret Guard lowered his head and whispered back: "Not long after the army set off for the expedition, Lord Changping sent a letter to take all his family members to Chen Ying. Now there is no one from Lord Changping's lineage in Xianyang."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he looked at Zhao Gao who was standing aside angrily, and asked in a deep voice: "Why was it that the family of Lord Changping left Xianyang and the net was not reported?"

Zhao Gao lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Changping at that time had not shown any signs of rebellion, and it was not easy to get rid of the trap."

Ying Zheng suppressed his anger. I am afraid Changping Lord had premeditated what he did. The problem now is that the Chu army cannot be allowed to invade Qin, otherwise, so many years of efforts will be in vain.

After thinking for a while, Ying Zheng said: "Send an order to Li Xin and Meng Tian to guard Nanyang and prevent the Chu army from marching north to invade Nanyang."

The Shadow Guard bowed and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Watching the Shadow Guard leave, Ying Zheng turned to look at Zhao Gao aside, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is General Wang Jian now?"

Zhao Gao bowed and replied: "The general has resigned and returned to his hometown and returned to his fiefdom in Pinyang County."

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said firmly to Zhao Gao: "Prepare your horses. I will go to Pinyang in person and ask the general to come out again and lead the troops to attack Chu."

Zhao Gao cupped his hands and said: "No."

Early the next morning, Ying Zheng rushed to Pinyang with his bodyguards. I don't know what the two talked about. Finally, he invited Wang Jian, who had retired and returned to his hometown, to lead troops to conquer Chu.

After the news came out, the world was shocked again. Qin had just suffered a defeat, but unexpectedly, it sent troops again without stopping.

The reputation of the veteran general Wang Jian is familiar to everyone in the world. Except for South Korea, the defeat and destruction of the other three countries are basically related to him.

Such a master of military strategists leads troops on an expedition, and no one dares not to take him seriously.

The Chu State had just won a victory and was celebrating when they got the news. Not only did the newly returned Lord Changping be confused, but even Chu King Fu Chu and General Xiang Yan had a basin of cold water poured on their heads.

Above the court, the King of Chu looked at the ministers who were talking about each other below, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about it, how can we resist Wang Jian's army?"

When the ministers below heard this, they all bowed their heads in silence.

Seeing this, Zhe Chu yelled angrily: "Aren't you all full of ideas on weekdays? Why do you become mute at the critical moment?"

Lord Changping, who was standing in front, looked left and right, took two steps forward, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin army is coming fiercely. If we want to stop the Qin army, we need help."

Nian Chu said with a cold face, "I don't know if I need help? But now, where can we find help?"

When Lord Changping saw this, he did not dare to be angry. After all, he had just returned to Chu State and had no foundation in the court. Now he had to show his talents first and help Chu State resist the Qin army.

Otherwise, once the Chu State is destroyed by the Qin army, given the temperament of Qin King Ying Zheng, the fate of a rebellious person like him can be predicted.

Thinking of this, Lord Changping lowered his head again and reported: "We can send envoys to ask Qi for help. After all, once Chu falls, Qin's next target will be Qi."

"At the same time, send another important person to Xiaoyao City to form an alliance with Xiaoyao City."

Hearing this, Fu Chu became angry again: "Qi State? They have always been one with Qin State. Do you think they will take action?"

"As for Xiaoyao City, don't mention it to me again. If Qin hadn't called, sooner or later I would have laid waste to Xiaoyao City."

Seeing this, Song Yu on the side took a few steps forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Changping said is reasonable. Now we have to repel the Qin army first. We will discuss other matters later."

Xiang Yan also walked up the first few steps: "I also agree. Even if they don't lend a helping hand, they must drag Xiaoyao City into trouble. Once the Qin army sets its sights on Xiaoyao City, our opportunity will come."

After hearing this, the ministers behind also spoke one after another and encouraged the King of Chu to bear the cud.

Seeing this, Xiang Chu patted the armrest of the seat angrily, looked at the ministers and said coldly: "In that case, the matter of going to Xiaoyao City to see Li Chen will be left to Lord Changping and Ling Yin Songyu. Qi

The candidates for the Chinese side will be decided by General Xiang."

After saying that, he stood up, tossed his robe, and walked towards the back.

Seeing this, the ministers could only kneel down one after another and shouted: "Congratulations to your Majesty!"

Until the figure of the King of Chu disappeared from the main hall, Xiang Yan, Lord Changping, and Song Yu raised their heads and looked at each other, and then sighed one after another.
