Zhang Chang sighed deeply: "Young master, you don't know. In the past 100 years, we have rarely had less than 100,000 troops stationed inside and outside Xianyang City. This is the basic base for guarding the capital and the royal family, and has been rarely used in the past dynasties."
"But this time Zhao Gao and Hu Hai don't understand state affairs and military affairs, so they transferred all our garrison troops from all over Guanzhong to the front line of Guandong... I'm afraid that hundreds of thousands of Da Qin men will never be able to return to their homeland."
Ying Jingyu nodded and said angrily: "It is not a pity for a dog thief to die! Do General Zhang and father know how many men Liu Bang will lead this time?"
Ziying put his hands on his back and took a step forward: "Although Liu Bang is not as good as Xiang Yu, he has many capable people. He has won the support of some people among the people. This attack on Huanglong must be the plan of his advisers."
"According to Gu's observation, the number of troops Liu Bang led was no less than 80,000 or 90,000..."
Jingyu gasped after hearing this. The opponent came with victory and hatred... Xianyang's troops seemed to be very stretched.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Chang spoke: "Master, if our Qin army has the same strength as before, even if it comes with 150,000 troops, it may not be able to defeat Xianyang."
"It's just...now that our Qin Dynasty has lost its troops and generals, its temples are about to fall, the soldiers don't know the country, and the people don't miss Qin. The people of the old Qin are full of resentment and helpless. The soldiers know that there are monsters in the court, and go to the front line to die without saying anything..."
"It is not that there is no one in Guanzhong, but we have completely lost the vigor of the old Qin people in the past. The soldiers are fighting for no reason and have lost their vigor. How can we compare with the victory of the six countries in Guandong? This is a big difficulty."
After speaking, they fell into silence again. Ziying and Jingyu sighed deeply. Although the words were unpleasant, they were straight to the point. It seemed that Zhang Chang also had some vision and ability.
The root cause of this problem is that power is too concentrated, and the power hollow created is too large, which gives opportunities for traitors to take advantage of...
Ying Jingyu slightly cupped his hands and said, "General Zhang's words from the bottom of his heart, I am inspired by."
"But the problem still needs to be solved. The current situation is to control Xianyang city affairs. According to General Zhang's investigation, is there a chance to remove the lieutenant and lead Dongjian?"
After Zhang Chang thought for a while, he nodded lightly: "If Dongjian is really capable of being a famous general, then we will have no chance."
"However, this person has many bad habits and is greedy for money and lust. Because he has some knowledge of military art and his age, he is supported by Dong Lege and keeps this important position!"
Ying Jingyu nodded and said: "I see, my father, General Zhang. Yu has a plan to get rid of Dongjian, but can our Great Qin soldiers still obey my Ying clan's orders?"
Zhang Chang's eyes shone when he heard about the plan. He cupped his hands with excitement and said, "Don't worry, sir, our Qin soldiers are only loyal to the Ying family. However, with the traitors and sycophants in power, the soldiers can only obey the temple decrees without questioning them."
"If we can eradicate evil spirits and cleanse the court, the soldiers will definitely obey the orders of King Qin. Knowing why they fight, their morale will be different from what it is today!"
Jingyu raised his head and closed his eyes in thought for a minute, then suddenly opened his eyes and said: "In that case, father, General Zhang, I need eight hundred loyalists who can fight the dead!"
"First, General Zhang secretly sent people to investigate Dongjian's daily activities, and no information about Dongjian's daily activities should be leaked."
"Secondly, these 800 die-hard loyalists must be loyal to the royal family and must not allow the enemy to infiltrate. They should be dispersed and trained secretly, and 500 sets of night-walking black clothes should be raised for backup."
"Third, if there is a good opportunity to kill Dong Jian, I will personally lead 500 dead soldiers in action, and send another 200 dead soldiers in batches to keep an eye on Xianyang Palace and Dongxiang's Mansion. If there is any abnormal movement, I will fight to the death to prevent it from disturbing the situation."
"Fourth, I will leave the last hundred or so dead soldiers to guard my father. If I succeed in assassinating Dongjian, I will send out a message to bring people to join the king. My father put on his royal robe and quickly went to the city defense military office, drafted a summons letter, and sent the king to the city."
I summoned you personally, took back the city defense military power, and appointed Young Master Ying Jingyu as the lieutenant commander!"
"Fifth, after success, my father and I will lead a large army to surround Xianyang Palace, execute Meng Cheng and Yan Shiping, and return the palace to the royal family."
"Sixth, to remove obstacles and unify power, it is urgent for my father to ascend the throne to the throne of Qin! Call the world and enter Xianyang Palace, so that the people of Qin can regain their sense of identity as old Qin people."
"Give it a try, success or failure depends on this! Do you, my father, and General Zhang have any doubts? Can General Zhang summon all 800 loyalists?"
After they finished speaking, both Ying Ziying and Zhang Chang were shocked and their mouths opened wide.
This...is this still the usual Ying Jingyu? With such a scheming mind, even a well-established and well-known minister would find it difficult to think like this.
And this is still a weak boy under 17 years old, and he is not usually seen to be interested in learning and gaining knowledge.
Why did he grow so much all at once? Could it be that he was injured in the head and immediately started stealing after waking up?
For a while, the two of them were puzzled...
Jing Yu saw the other party pondering for a long time without answering, and his heart skipped a beat!
Could it be that... this matter cannot be accomplished? If so, then even the gods cannot save Da Qin...
"Father? General Zhang?"
A soft call brought Ziying and Ziying back to reality.
Zhang Chang raised his head and knelt down with a bang to express his feelings again: "Shi Chang underestimated the young master. The young master is so talented and broad-minded. With such ambition and talent, why should he be afraid of the Six Kingdoms of Guandong? Chang is willing to follow the king to the death, young master!"
Then he pressed his hands on the ground with a gesture of great reverence
Ying Jingyu hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to help him up: "General Zhang, please get up quickly. In troubled times, there are still generals who are loyal to the fallen royal family. Great Qin is lucky."
"In the opinion of my father and the general, is Yu's plan feasible?"
Zhang Chang calmed down his excited mood: "Don't worry, young master, it is only the Qin thieves and nobles who are causing trouble to the temple. The common people or soldiers below are still willing to follow the Ying family in their hearts."
"If they are die-hard loyalists, King Chang Yi will be able to secretly summon them all within one day, and other matters can be carried out according to the steps."
Ying Jingyu's eyes lit up, he clenched his fist and said: "Okay! In this case, the chance is still very good. But if we gather 800 dead soldiers, we must not concentrate on them and spread them out for training. After I recover from my injury, I will go there in person.
"
After hearing this, Ziying was very worried. Although his son performed very well, he was too courageous to go into such a dangerous situation himself.
What if... one of them was killed because of something bad? Wouldn't Qin Sanshi's family be devastated?
He frowned and said: "Yu'er, as a father, I support you unconditionally. However, the assassination of Dongjian is extremely dangerous. It is better to command from behind and not delay the progress of the matter."
Jingyu glanced at Ziying's expression and knew that he must have said this because he was worried about his own safety.
When a parent's first consideration is always the safety of their children and grandchildren...
Ying Jingyu said firmly: "Father, you must not do it. With the participation of your sons and ministers, the success rate will be greatly increased. Although they are the dead soldiers of our Qin Dynasty, in the precarious situation, the generals are not willing to take the lead, so how can the soldiers do their best?"
And for?"
"Father, just prepare according to my plan. There is no room for worry about this matter."
Zhang Chang cupped his hands again and said: "Young Master has great righteousness! What Chang has seen, and Young Master's personal participation in, is a great benefit. Chang's confidence has greatly increased!"
Ying Ziying sighed inwardly and shook his head. It seemed that he could not stop his crazy behavior.
"Yu'er, you are still young. As a father, I cannot bear to bear such a heavy responsibility..."
"But you are right, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country! No more words, let us clean up the court together and recreate the grandeur of the empire!"
At this point, Ziying could only stand on the bow of the ship, boosting morale and risking his life and death...
Jing Yu and his wife changed their expressions after hearing this, and they knelt down on one knee in excitement: "Defend the Qin Dynasty to the death!"
...
The 12th day of Qin III’s reign
In the early morning, after Ying Jingyu got up, he took off the white bandage wrapped around his head.
We have traveled to the third day of the late Qin Dynasty. With good food and medicinal supplements every day, every meal is nourishing.
Although the seasonings in this era were monotonous, vegetables and food types were scarce, and the taste was not as refined and diverse as in later generations.
But as a member of the royal family, the ingredients are of the highest quality. If there is a chance to develop some crops or spices in the future, then...hehe
After several days of conditioning and activities, Ying Jingyu increasingly felt his energy restored, and his body became stronger and stronger.
But in the long-term special forces life in the previous life, together with his comrades for many years, I have long been accustomed to this, and can easily hold that line of defense.
Well... strong willed
"Sir, you're awake. Why did you take off the bandage? The doctor said it will take two days to remove it."
As soon as Ying Jingyu got dressed, he saw Yue Ximeng, who was dressed in plain clothes and a light green skirt, holding a bronze basin in both hands. She opened the door and came in to put the basin on a toilet rack.
With a slender figure and a peach-like face, the 17-year-old is slim and graceful, with a light body and a gentle and pleasant figure. Ying Jingyu’s Adam’s apple rolled and he swallowed.
She is really a 'fair lady, a gentleman is so generous.' No wonder that Dong Shen was salivating yesterday...
"Sir, it's time to take medicine. Let me wash you."
