Late at night, in the Qin Palace.
The damaged piece of amber was now placed on the King of Qin's imperial table.
Ying Zheng's hand gently caressed it, feeling it. At this moment, a few dozen steps away from the Minister's seat, a secret guard was reporting Ying Ziyi's latest intelligence.
"When the Fourteenth Young Master sunrise the palace that day, he sold the five carriages of goods to the merchants in the city. During these few days, Young Master ordered his personal guards to gather armor, tents, seeds, and horses in the market. Also, the Fourteenth Young Master bought 500 slaves from the market and selected 300 captives from various countries from the military camp.”
Ying Zheng waved his hand, gesturing for his shadow guards to leave. It was not that Ying Zheng did not know that there was something fishy about the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but he chose to let it go and exiled Ying Ziyi to Longxi. One reason was that the mastermind of this conspiracy was obviously trying to drive Ying Ziyi out of Xianyang City. He wanted to see how the situation would develop, so Ying Zheng went with the flow to find the mastermind. The second reason was because of Zi Yi's attitude in the hall. Ying Zige's recent actions showed that he was doing something with a purpose. As for what he was doing? Ying Zheng couldn't see it clearly at the moment, which made him even more curious.
After all, Ying Ziyi was just a small matter. It was impossible for Ying Zheng to put all his attention on this, because there was an even more pressing matter before him.
Attack Wei!
Wei was the first country to become strong among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. At its peak, it had established itself in the Three Jin Dynasties and attacked the Central Plains, suppressing the Qin Country until it was almost out of breath. Later on, Qin and Qi started to reform one after another, while Wei started to decline. Under the pincer attacks of the two countries, Wei State was repeatedly defeated. In the Battle of Hexi and the Battle of Maling, Wei State suffered heavy losses one after another, and its national strength plummeted. The capital moved from An Yi to Daliang, unable to stop the Qin State from going east. Its position as the leader of the Three Jin Dynasties was also replaced by the stronger Zhao State.
Wei Liaozi walked in from the side of the hall. As usual, he cupped his hands and bowed to Ying Zheng.
In the process of Ying Zheng's unification, many capable people had helped him. However, the one that Ying Zheng trusted the most was none other than Wei Liaozi.
"Mr. Wei Liao, the land of Yan has stabilized. It was time to attack Wei. I wonder what plan you have?"
"Wei, the land of war. Daliang is the strongest city in the world. Do not attack forcefully."
Due to a fatal mistake in the strategic deployment of the Wei Kingdom at that time, it had transformed from a first-rate powerful country into a small country today. It was huddled in a corner, but that corner was the richest area in the world. The capital of Wei, Daliang, was also one of the largest and strongest cities in the world.
"Yes!" Ying Zheng nodded, agreeing with Wei Liaozi's suggestion.
Wei Liaozi continued," The capital of Wei has ten years 'worth of rations, sufficient weapons, and the people are willing to sacrifice their lives. If they wanted to attack Wei, they could not take it down by force. It is better to let the army surround the city and then attack it with water.”
"Water attack?" Ying Zheng asked.
"This old man has been observing the water flow recently and has calculated that in two years, the Yellow River's water volume will soar. When the flood season comes, we will divert the water back to Daliang. In this way, our army can win without fighting. It's just that "
"What?"
"Daliang is located in the Central Plains. It is surrounded by a wide expanse of flat land. The rivers and lakes are like a dense net, and the land is abnormally fertile. At that time, Wei was very powerful and moved its capital here. It relied on Wei Wudi's strong army in the world to attack and attack. However, if our army wants to surround the city and dig the river, it will take a long time. Attacking the advantage also meant that he could go and the enemy could go. At that time, Qi and Chu might send troops to aid Wei.”
"This is indeed very possible. On the battlefield, the situation changed rapidly. Even a good general could not fully grasp it. However, Qi and Chu were in great danger, and Great Qin could use them. As long as they could hold on for a while and destroy Wei, the other two countries would be nothing to worry about.”
"Your Majesty is wise."
......
Daliang, the capital of Wei.
Inside the glorious Wei Palace, it was still the same scene. The old king died, and the new king succeeded to the throne. After the death of King Jing of Wei, his son, King Wei, took the throne. However, after this King of Wei ascended the throne, he did not care about the country's politics. Instead, he sang and danced every day, indulging in wine and women.
In a side hall of the Wei Palace, it did not look conspicuous. The surrounding vegetation was sparse, and it seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time. An old woman in a black robe walked into the hall with three young girls.
The hall was dark, without a single candle. The old woman walked to the center of the hall and chanted something. Suddenly, the surroundings lit up. The three young girls could not stand the strong light in front of them and closed their eyes one after another, covering them with their sleeves.
When they opened their eyes again, they had already arrived in a strange space. They were surrounded by specks of starlight. Behind the endless darkness, there seemed to be endless secrets.
"I called you here for one thing.”The old woman sighed." The Wei Kingdom is going to fall!”
The three girls looked at each other. Although their eyes were filled with worry, they believed the old woman's words without a doubt.
The old woman was the most adept at divination in the country. Even she herself could not remember how old she was. She only remembered that she was a native of King Huiwen of Wei and had been there for a hundred years. The old woman's divination was very effective and was respected by the former kings of the past dynasties.
"What should we do?"
"Little Crane, Little Fox, Little Butterfly, the three of you are the last inheritors of our lineage and also my most outstanding disciples. The Wei Kingdom is about to be destroyed. The Yinyang School will definitely not let us off. Go west to the end of what we know, and that will be the last sign.”
"West? Is that the Qin country?"
"The revelation of divination is definitely not wrong. There is a person there who can change your fate.”The old woman's voice was hoarse, but it was not to be doubted.
"Who is it?" Little crane asked.
"That's an anomaly! An anomaly that could change the world.”
Dozens of green flames suddenly appeared around the four of them. Dozens of people wearing red robes and strange masks appeared in the fire.
"These spiritual knights are the last force of our sect. I will now hand them over to the three of you.”
The old woman's body began to rise slowly, and wisps of flames appeared around her. "The characteristics on your bodies are too obvious. If you go west to the Qin country like this, you will definitely be discovered by the Yin Yang School. I will now release all the power in my body to hide your characteristics.”
After saying that, raging flames enveloped the old woman. Soon, the old woman's figure became indistinct, and only bits of ashes scattered in the air.
.........
Qin Country, Yuyang County.
The former capital of Yan Country, Ji City, had now become the capital of Qin Country.
At night, a group of people took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the prison of Yuyang County. Not long after, this group of people left again. At this time, there was already an additional person beside them.
Soon, the alarm went off in the prison, and the Qin soldiers began to patrol the streets.
This group of people was very familiar with the terrain. After a few turns, they arrived at a remote alley. After passing by the corner of the alley, the group of people stopped.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Sheng Qi." Liu Bang leaned against the wall, tossing the dice in his hand, looking like he was playing with the world.
"It's you?" Sheng Qi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Don't be surprised that I'm here to save you. This is Xia Kui's order.”Liu Bang smiled and put away the dice." You asked me to save you so that you could complete a mission.”
"What?"
"Ying Ziyi!"
"Him? In the past, even the six clans of the peasant family could not do anything to him, let alone now that I'm alone.”
"Things are different now. In the past, Ying Ziyi had 100,000 soldiers at his command. Now, he only had a hundred Qin soldiers by his side.”
"What happened?"
"Ying Ziyi was exiled to Longxi by the King of Qin because of his crimes.”Liu Bang stroked his beard and smiled.
Sheng Qi glanced at Liu Bang, who was about to turn around and leave. He asked,""You don't seem to think so?"
"It doesn't matter what I think. Oh right, the Great Ravager has been sent outside the city. Don't forget to take it.”
"Where are you going?" Sheng Qi asked.
"I heard that there are a few gambling dens in Ji City that are quite good. It's rare for me to come here, and it's at the expense of the government.”Liu Bang waved his hand and disappeared into the darkness.
