Chapter 67 In Action
Zhao Ji finally failed to wait for Ying Zheng. A military situation from the Xianyang Prime Minister's Mansion forced Ying Zheng to return to Xianyang temporarily.
In Xianyang Hall, Lu Buwei Meng Ao, the leader of the civil and military affairs of Qin, gathered here.
"The news from Handan was reported that Xinlingjun secretly sneaked into Handan for more than a month ago and visited King Yan of Zhao. It seemed that some agreement had been reached. Then Xinlingjun went north and eventually disappeared on the border of Yan and Zhao." Lu Buwei introduced.
"Gu helped Xinlingjun. If it weren't for Gu, how could the King of Wei trust Xinlingjun so much now?" Ying Zheng smiled faintly.
Xinlingjun visited Zhao Wangyan so sneakily, and then went to Yan State. What he planned was nothing more than Qin State. The reason why Xinlingjun can be valued by the King of Wei is that Ying Zheng played an important role.
If Ying Zheng had not deposed Xinlingjun's five limbs in Xinzheng three years ago, making Xinlingjun a completely deposed man, how could the King of Wei be so relieved about Xinlingjun?
Although the recovery was good later, it did not affect the action except that aspect.
However, Ying Zheng didn't care about this. He let Xinlingjun go for this purpose. He was to attack one country and one country, and to mobilize the enemy's troops from his territory and fight with him. It would be much more labor-saving than to capture one city and one city. If there were no people like Xinlingjun in it, it would be much more tortuous to the Shandong countries to initiate the alliance here.
The last alliance between the countries in Shandong should be several years later.
Although Ying Zheng's original intention of leaving Xinlingjun was to let the Shandong countries take the initiative to fight, it was not at this time. Now most of the civilian forces of Qin are building the Zheng State Canal and the Chidao connecting Jinyang and Xinzheng with Xianyang as the center. This is not a good time to start a war.
Lu Buwei and Meng Ao naturally would not respond at this time, because there are only two kinds of words that can be said at this time, one would slap in the face, and the other would be suspected of flattery.
"Do you have any good suggestions for the general?" Ying Zheng asked Meng Ao.
"King, we should take the initiative at this time and not allow the four Shandong countries to truly form a coalition force." Meng Ao bowed.
"The General thinks it is the most suitable country to use troops?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Wei State." Meng Ao replied.
"Wei State?" Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Which direction is the attack from Wei State?"
"Send troops from the direction of Dingtao to attack the guards. In this way, a nail can be laid between the three kingdoms of Qi, Zhao and Wei. If they want to attack our Qin again in the future, they will definitely not be able to do their best. They also need to be wary of our army breaking their retreat." Meng Ao replied.
"Okay, as the general said, I sent troops to guard the land. A few years ago, the King of Wei killed Wei Jun and made his son-in-law Wei Jun. Although Wei still has a national name now, he is just a vassal of Wei. If the people of Wei are dissatisfied with this, they will definitely not fight to the death." Ying Zheng agreed with Meng Ao's suggestions very much.
Because Ying Zheng knew that in the original trajectory, two years later, Meng Ao led his troops to capture Wei State and established it as the Dongjun of Qin State, which led to another story.
It can be said that the story of Mingyue in the Qin Dynasty began to a large extent with Wei State. Because the Qin army conquered and destroyed Wei State, a man and a woman fell into Qi State, and these two people were Jing Ke and the other was Li Ji.
Lu Buwei was confused throughout the whole process, so he decided to do so. He was not good at military strategy at this time and was still thinking about how to start from the court of Wei. For example, Wei Yong, the Situ of Wei who was related to Ying Zheng.
"After capturing the Wei territory, the general can merge the Wei territory with the Dingtao territory to establish it as the Dongjun. Zhongfu also needs to select a suitable Dongjun county magistrate in advance and let him go to the expedition with the General." Ying Zheng said with the final say.
Meng Ao only realized at this time that the king was not asking for his own opinions, but was just taking the exam for himself. If it weren't for this, how could he have even thought about the county name?
"There is one more thing..." Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, it's nothing."
Because he thought of two people, Jing Ke and Li Ji, because of that place, these two people obviously have a different meaning to Ying Zheng. It can be said that in Ying Zheng's original life, he had never lost to anyone, but only Jing Ke and Li Ji made him taste the bitter taste.
But it is obviously not appropriate to make Meng Ao pay special attention to these two people. Even if Ying Zheng wants to do anything to these two people, he should send a net to the point. The army can only be used for war. He is the King of Qin and should maintain this principle. If he takes the lead in destroying it, how can he maintain the majesty of military law?
Lu Buwei, who walked out of Xianyang Palace, was still a little dazed. Even though he claimed to be one of the few smart people in the world, he couldn't help but start to doubt himself at this time.
A crisis that he thought was extremely serious was decided in a few words between the king and Meng Ao.
What made him even more suspicious was that Ying Zheng had already come up with a solution to the situation during the period when he received the news and returned to Xianyang Palace.
Even Meng Ao took much more time than the king, not to mention that Meng Ao had been in the army for 40 or 50 years. It is understandable to have such insights, after all, he has specialized in his profession.
But King? What has he done in the past three years?
Jicheng, the capital of Yan State.
Yan Dan, who rushed back from Liaodong, didn't bother to clean up his appearance, and did not even go to the palace, but went straight to the seclusion place of Xinling Jun Wei Wuji.
After three years, Yan Dan, who saw Xinlingjun here, couldn't help but feel a little dazed. The changes in Xinlingjun in front of him were too big. His two sword eyebrows were still sharp, but they were much thinner and his skin became whiter.
Yan Dan also felt that there should be more changes in Xinlingjun, but he couldn't say it for a while. He always felt that there were some strange things that he failed to catch.
When Yan Dan was observing Xinlingjun, Xinlingjun was also observing Yan Dan.
Compared to three years ago, Yan Dan's changes at this time are also very big.
In Xinlingjun's eyes, although Yan Dan three years ago was also an outstanding figure among the younger generation, it finally gave people a feeling of being ambitious and out of talent, but Yan Dan is different now.
The wind and snow in Liaodong are far more cold than Jicheng. In the past three years when Yan Dan led his troops to station in Liaodong, his skin became much darker and rougher, but his demeanor became more calm.
"The prince must have gained a lot in Liaodong in the past three years." Xinling Jun and Yan Dan said after seeing the etiquette.
"It's okay. Xinling Jun came from afar and did not go to pay homage to my father. He was waiting for me here, but for the sake of Qin?" Yan Dan asked.
"Yes, it's for Qin State that I came to form an alliance this time." Xinling Jun replied.
"Xinling Jun may be disappointed. I, Yan State, don't want to participate in this matter." Yan Dan refused.
At this time, he had already repented. Instead of being unable to extricate himself from the Qin State, it would be better to think about how to enhance his strength. This was what his opponent told him, but he had already regarded this as the truth.
For three years, he went to Liaodong according to the advice of his lifelong enemy, fought with the Donghu people for three years, expanded the territory of Yan for thousands of miles, and trained a strong army that was only loyal to him in the war.
With this strong army in hand, even if he has not been in Jicheng for three years, who can underestimate him? On the contrary, in the past, it was a huge difference.
However, the man had already done the first step in his planning, how should he implement the second step? And the arrival of Xinlingjun undoubtedly gave him hope. He could use Xinlingjun's hands to complete his plan.
The reason why he refused Xinling Jun was simply to raise the price and pay it back on the spot.
