In the suspicion of the King of Wei, all the 200,000 troops accumulated in Xianyang of Qin had already traveled to Hangu Pass. The Empress Dowager Huayang was very satisfied with this because Cheng Qi successfully took the position of military supervisor, and Lu Buwei was also very satisfied, because the people who were approaching him had a good position among the 200,000 troops.

What made the two even happier was that Xinling Jun moved, and King Wei could not resist suspicion after all. Xinling Jun was recalled to Daliang. However, in order to stabilize Xinling Jun, King Wei asked Xinling Jun's most relied general Zhu Hai to replace him.

But with the departure of Xinlingjun, the morale of the five-nation coalition forces was completely in chaos. The troops of the five countries also had five generals. Without Xinlingjun, it became a problem for who should listen to whom among these five generals.

However, the lucky thing about the coalition was that the Qin army came was too coincidental. Xinlingjun just returned to Daliang and the Qin army arrived. This external crisis made the conflicts within the coalition temporarily put aside.

For a time, around Hangu Pass, starting from Hedong in the north and ending in the hundreds of miles between Luoyi, the 800,000 troops on both sides intertwined, as if the war of the largest after the Battle of Changping was about to break out.

Ying Zheng, who was far away in Xianyang, was much more relaxed at this time, because the time he had planned for a long time finally came. In order to establish his position in the military, Lu Buwei and Cheng Qi almost inserted all the middle and senior generals who were willing to lean towards him into the army of 200,000. In this way, a huge power vacuum was left in Xianyang, and this vacuum would facilitate Ying Zheng to do many things.

For example, two veteran Qin generals who were summoned to Xianyang Palace by him at this time: Meng Ao and Huan Qiong.

When Meng Ao saw Huan Qie in front of Xianyang Palace, he was very surprised.

"When will General Huan return to Xianyang?" Meng Ao asked. In his perception, Huan Qi should be in Jinyang at this time, and the general could not leave the garrison without military orders. However, Huan Qi appeared here at this time. Whose military order was he under?

Huan Qi looked at Meng Ao's hair that was even grayer than himself, grinned and said, "Of course, I have followed the king's military order. Can anyone else in Qin State be mobilized to us now? Or is it that in General Meng's understanding that there are such people in Qin State?"

"You, it's been so many years, and you're still so unforgivable." Meng Ao smiled helplessly. Huan Qi was once Bai Qi's deputy general, so he naturally had no lack of courage, but when it comes to being sharp, he was accustomed to this.

"Hey, now that your physical strength is getting worse, your mouth is getting sharper." Huan Qi said mockingly.

"We are talking as we walk, we can't let the king wait for a long time."

“That’s right.”

So soon this happened. In front of a table, two old men and a boy were sitting opposite each other, which was a bit strange, but also inexplicably harmonious.

"Now, 800,000 people have gathered on both sides of Hangu Pass, and Xinling Jun has also been recalled to Daliang by the King of Wei. The two old generals think that we can leave the pass and fight to the decisive battle at this time?" Ying Zheng asked.

"King, the best way now is to stay in seclusion and wait for the coalition forces to collapse on their own. If they are too anxious, the coalition forces will be united. If they want to defeat the coalition forces, they may have to be a lot of trouble." Meng Ao hurriedly advised.

Although he had thought of fighting to the death with the coalition forces half a month ago, after being rejected in front of Ying Zheng, he quickly understood the key point afterwards. At this time, he was shocked to hear that Ying Zheng wanted to leave the seclusion and fight.

After saying this, Meng Ao quickly winked at Huan Qi beside him. Unfortunately, joy was destined to disappoint him. Huan Qi just knelt there, motionless, like a stone statue.

"What General Meng said is reasonable."

Ying Zheng's words made Meng Ao feel much more relieved. Although Ying Zheng had just succeeded to the throne at this time and had no real power, he was famous and had a natural influence on the military and political affairs of Qin.

"but···"

Meng Ao's heart rose again.

"If we just let the coalition forces collapse on their own, it would be too cheap for them, but the pressure was too tight and there was a danger of breaking the dead. After thinking about it, I came up with a pretty good solution." Ying Zheng said.

"I would like to ask the king to show me." Huan Qi said respectfully.

Meng Ao was stunned for a moment. When did Huan Qi speak so well? But he didn't care about it at this time and quickly followed Huan Qi and said.

"The three kingdoms of Yan, Wei and Chu can let them leave on their own and eat the troops of Han and Zhao. Do the two generals think they can do it?" Ying Zheng asked.

As the saying goes, apart travel is like a mountain. War is not something that can be competent by reading a few books. The general direction can be seen in Ying Zheng, but when it comes to specific operations, it can only be seen by professionals.

"King, my 100,000 heavily armored soldiers in Pingyang only need to go east to Shangdang to cut off the Zhao army's return. It is not difficult to annihilate the Zhao army on the south bank of the Yellow River." Huan Qi replied very happily, because he had known about these things for a long time.

If Meng Ao was summoned only out of respect for the Qin King Ying Zheng, then Huan Qiong would completely turn to the new Qin King Ying Zheng.

You should know that according to legal principles, Ying Zheng could not contact these things before he took power.

The military and political ministers of Qin would be very rational and not move closer to the King of Qin at this time, because they would be attacked by the two major factions now in the regent. Before the King of Qin himself showed enough ability, they would choose to wait and see.

But he didn't care at all, because what Ying Zheng gave was enough to make Huan Qi sacrifice his life, and Ying Zheng was able to tell his thoughts hidden deep in his heart in one word, which was enough to prove his ability. These two points combined, let Huan Qi make a judgment: the King of Qin can fulfill his promise.

"General Meng, what do you think?" Ying Zheng said.

"The war changes rapidly, and before the battle comes, I dare not say that I have any foolproof plans." Meng Ao thought for a moment.

"General Meng, as far as I know, you are already sixty-six years old today, right?" Ying Zheng did not agree to Meng Ao's answer, but asked about Meng Ao's age.

"Report to the king, I am indeed sixty-six years old." Meng Ao answered honestly although he was puzzled.

"What a pity." Ying Zheng said regretfully.

What a pity? Meng Ao wanted to ask this question, but he still held it back.

"It's a pity that the veteran general has been fighting for nearly fifty years, and has made countless contributions to the city, but in the end he lacks the power of destroying the country, it is inevitable that he will feel a little regretful." Ying Zheng continued.

Destroy the country? When Meng Ao heard this word, his gray beard couldn't help but tremble. There are only six countries in Shandong, which means that there are only six such military achievements. Who doesn't want such military achievements? It is an opportunity to leave a name in history. Generals risk their lives and death to fight, and they pursue not only glory, wealth, but also reputations in their lifetime. If the two are compared, the latter will have a heavier weight.

A gentleman was killed for five generations, but his reputation in history has lasted forever.

"The king is saying..." Meng Ao said solemnly, something he thought of was vaguely.

"I wanted to use this battle to annihilate the Korean army east of Luoyi and defeat South Korea. I wonder if this military merits are dared to take over?" At this point, Ying Zheng was the real dagger to see the truth.

Although he had already guessed in his heart, when he actually heard this from Ying Zheng, Meng Ao couldn't help but take a breath of air.

It's true.

The significance of destroying Han is too important. If Meng Ao could really dominate this war, he knew that his military career would be completely perfect, and even if Bai Qi was alive, he might have to envy him.

"I will never refuse to die." Meng Ao leaned over and bowed.

From then on, he will completely turn to the King of Qin and become his true confidant.

"Okay." Ying Zheng helped Meng Ao up, his always cold face was a smile that was unconcealed. The first step had already been taken, and it seemed to be quite smooth.
