Ying Zheng sat on the throne.
He took the report from Zhao Gao and read it.
"This Han Fei is really good at scheming.”
The more Ying Zheng read, the angrier he became. After reading it, he threw the secret report on the ground.
Prime Minister Wang Wan, Imperial Censor Li Si, and Chief Justice Feng Quji looked at each other.
He did not know why Ying Zheng was so angry.
"The three of you should take a look too."
After that, Ying Zheng said to Wang Wan and the other two.
Wang Wan and the other two looked at each other and picked up the secret report from the network on the ground. Then, they gathered together to read it.
The three of them looked at each other, and their faces were filled with anger.
" Your Majesty, I didn't expect the Han Kingdom to be so treacherous. Other than Yan and Zhao, who sincerely begged for peace, the Han Kingdom sent Han Fei, the ninth son of King Han, to escape Xinzheng City and go to the Qi and Chu countries. They persuaded the Qi and Chu countries to send 500,000 troops from Danyang to attack the Qin country and approach Xianyang. They wanted to besiege the Wei and save the Zhao.”
After reading it, Feng Quji the dean of the supreme court became extremely furious.
"Tingwei Feng, you overestimated Han. If I'm not wrong, this plan should have been thought of by my junior brother, Han Fei, the ninth son of King Han.”
However, Li Si smiled bitterly.
Han Fei?"
Prime Minister Wang Wan did not understand.
Not bad, Han Fei."
"Han Fei and I were once apprenticed to Xunzi, a Confucian grandmaster. He was favored by Xunzi and received his true teachings. In addition, he was smart, so it was reasonable for him to think of such an extraordinary plan.”
Li Si explained.
"Then it seems that we have no other choice but to retreat!”
At this moment, Prime Minister Wang Wan said.
The 500,000 strong Qi and Chu allied forces were approaching Xianyang!
Other than the 45 troops sent by the Qin State to conquer the three kingdoms of Yan, Han, and Zhao, as well as the 50,000 troops guarding the land of Wei, the entire Qin State only had 100,000 troops.
Moreover, these 100,000 troops were scattered all over the Qin Country. They needed to guard the Rong people in Guanzhong, Ba Shu, and the Wei Country soldiers who were building the roads.
The number of soldiers that could be gathered in a short period of time, including the soldiers guarding Xianyang, was only 50 to 60 thousand.
It was impossible to rely on 50,000 to 60,000 Qin soldiers to repel 500,000 of them, a force that was tens of times their number.
No matter how many cavalrymen the Qin army had and how well equipped they were, it was impossible.
If they wanted to protect themselves, they could only order Wang He, Meng Ao, and Wang Jian to retreat from the capital cities of Yan, Han, and Zhao to defend Xianyang.
"We won't retreat."
After his anger subsided, Ying Zheng's expression gradually calmed down, and a hint of a smile even appeared in the corner of his eyes. He immediately rejected Prime Minister Wang Wan's suggestion.
"Send my orders to Wang He, Meng Ao, and Wang Jian. Tell them to break through the capital of Yan, Han, and Zhao as quickly as possible and then return to Xianyang.”
Then, Ying Zheng gave the order.
"Your Majesty, isn't this too risky?”
Hearing Ying Zheng's decree that he was determined to destroy the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Han, Feng Quji, the chief justice of the Supreme Court, looked a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, since I know that the five countries are united to resist my powerful Qin, how could I not have thought of the Qi and Chu countries before sending troops to attack the Yan, Han, and Zhao countries?”
"It's just that I didn't expect that all of this was actually caused by the actions of a youth.”
Ying Zheng said calmly.
"Your Majesty has long predicted that the Qi and Chu countries would have such a move?”
Wang Wan, Li Si, and Feng Quji's eyes were filled with shock.
"That's right. My goal this time is not as simple as destroying the Yan, Han, and Zhao Kingdoms. I want to wipe out all the other countries once and for all.”
Ying Zheng muttered to himself. As he spoke, he suddenly stood up and waved his sleeve, his eyes full of dominance.
As for Wang Wan, Li Si, and Feng Quji, their hearts were filled with admiration, and they could not help but be subdued by Ying Zheng's domineering will.
"So, Your Majesty, the reason why you let General Wang He, Meng Ao, and General Wang Jian surround the three countries of Yan, Han, and Zhao without attacking is because you want to lure the Qi and Chu to attack?”
Li Si had a flash of realization and his voice was filled with admiration.
It didn't make sense. Last time, the Qin army broke through the Wei Kingdom's capital, Daliang, so quickly. This time, it was so slow.
Even though the three countries of Yan, Han, and Zhao were on guard against the spies of the Qin country, the Qin country was equipped with the weapons designed by the Gongshu family, and their strength had doubled.
This was an open scheme.
The strength of the Yan, Han, and Zhao armies was originally inferior to the Qin country. This way, the gap was even greater.
Therefore, the reason why the Qin army surrounded the three countries without attacking was to lure the snake out of its hole.
"Not bad, Li Si, you are indeed Han Fei's classmate. You are as smart as Han Fei.”
Ying Zheng could not help but nod.
Li Si had guessed most of his thoughts.
If he remembered correctly, although Han Fei seemed powerful, he died in the hands of his courtier, Li Si.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me."
"How can I be compared to Your Majesty with my little cleverness? With a snap of my hand, I managed to scheme against the five countries. Your Majesty, this is great wisdom.”
Li Si smiled bitterly.
Although he did not know if Li Si was speaking the truth, Ying Zheng felt extremely comfortable listening to him.
"Your Majesty is truly a genius."
"Your Majesty's wisdom is beyond our reach.”
After hearing the reason from Li Si, Prime Minister Wang Wan and Court Chief Feng Quji were also stunned by Ying Zheng's plan, and they started to compliment him.
"Alright, you guys go down and make your preparations. Keep an eye on the movements of the Qi and Chu alliance army. Don't let them reach Xianyang in advance or run away when the situation doesn't look good.”
"This time, we will leave this 500,000 strong Qi Chu army in the Qin country forever.”
Ying Zheng's gaze turned cold.
"Yes, sir."
Wang Wan, Li Si, and Feng Quji went to prepare.
"Zhao Gao is giving Wang He, Meng Ao, and Wang Jian a secret order. I only give them three days. Within three days, we must break through the three capitals of Yan, Han, and Zhao.”
After that, Ying Zheng issued an edict to Zhao Gao.
"Yes, sir."
After Zhao Gao received the decree, he also took his leave and went to do his work.
