Wei Liao hurried to Zhangtai Palace.
After the chamberlain reported, he was finally able to enter the hall.
At this moment.
Ying Zheng was discussing the construction of a new city for Empress Dowager Zhao Ji with Marquis Wenxin Lu Buwei, Right Prime Minister Wang Wan, Marquis Changxin Lao Ai, and General Meng Ao.
Originally, Meng Ao did not need to ask about this matter, but Ying Zheng wanted to ask for Meng Ao's opinion, so this old general stayed behind.
Meng Ao said in a deep voice," Your Majesty, we should consider the matter of attacking Zhao for the time being. The civil strife has just been pacified. Now is the best time to recuperate. We really shouldn't build Yong City to waste money and manpower!”
"Humph! Old General, you're wrong!"
" It's precisely because Cheng Jiao rebelled against the emperor and caused trouble that the world saw us as a joke," Lao Ai said with a sinister face. At this time, it was even more important to build Yong City for the Empress Dowager. Firstly, it would show the King's filial piety. Secondly, it would show the six countries the foundation of Great Qin. Thirdly, the Empress Dowager's health was not good and she had been living in the palace for a long time. She should have moved to a new city to relax!”
"We old ministers have all seen Your Majesty's filial piety." Meng Ao frowned. As for Great Qin's foundation, we don't need to use Yong City to show it. As for the Empress Dowager, if she wanted to change to a new city to relax, there were many palaces around Xianyang. She could just pick one!”
Lao Ai raised an eyebrow and said coldly," Old General, can you still call those words words of a minister?!"？Moreover, if the Empress Dowager's body is not hindered at all, Old General, you probably can't bear the responsibility!”
Lao Ai always addressed her as Empress Dowager, and whenever he moved, he would stand on the moral high ground of filial piety.
That was why the old general Meng Ao was a little anxious.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing."
Ying Zheng was having a headache right now. It was indeed not easy to become the throne, and the national treasury was not endless.
There were too many places where money could be used. At this time, the Empress Dowager wanted to build Yong City…
Ying Zheng felt that he was really short of money right now!
"The Grand Commandant is here.”
Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao and changed the topic,""What's the matter, Grand Commandant?"
Ying Zheng actually knew that Wei Liao was here to report Ye Yu's identity.
When Wei Liao entered the palace, he had already slightly shook his head at Ying Zheng, implying that Ye Yu was not Guigu 'zi.
Wei Liao thought for a moment, then cooperated with Ying Zheng and reported,""Your Majesty, I just thought of a new tactic and a way to defeat Zhao!”
Before he finished speaking.
Meng Ao's eyes lit up. Tell me quickly, Grand Commandant!”
Meng Ao was dreaming of defeating Zhao, but Li Mu didn't give him any chance at all!
This made Meng Ao feel uncomfortable.
When everyone's eyes were focused on Wei Liao.
" We are all internal officials here," Ying Zheng said." You may speak frankly, Grand Marshal."”
"Then I will start from a new strategy.”
Wei Liao paused," I've recently re-studied many books on the art of war and suddenly had an epiphany. Today, I've finally turned this epiphany into 16 words." That was, if the enemy was stationed, I would harass him; if the enemy was tired, I would attack; if the enemy advanced, I would retreat; if the enemy retreated, I would pursue! As the saying goes, there is no constant momentum in a war. Divide and combine, gather and attack. This is the essence of the art of war!”
"Good, good, good! Well said!"
General Meng Ao clapped his hands. As a veteran of the battlefield, he naturally understood Wei Liao's 16-word strategy. It was truly brilliant!!
Lu Buwei and Right Prime Minister Wang Wan nodded their heads in agreement. They were well aware of Wei Liao's capabilities. The people of the Heng Heng Clan were indeed extraordinary!
Lao Ai was startled by Meng Ao's excitement. He pursed his lips and said,""Yo! Old General, isn't your reaction a little too exaggerated? I didn't expect you to say such flattering words…"
"What flattery? You know nothing!"
Meng Ao cursed,"The art of war is unpredictable and profound!" The Grand Commandant was able to use sixteen words to summarize the essence of the art of war. How could this old man not say good things about his knowledge and understanding?？You brat, you're really narrow-minded. This old man disdains to talk to you!”
“……”
The expression on Lao Ai's face kept changing, but even though he was being confronted by Meng Ao head-on, he did not dare to turn hostile.
After all, the Meng family of the Great Qin Dynasty was very close to the Qin Chen of the Chu faction. Behind the Qin Chen of the Chu faction was Empress Dowager Hua Yang.
Compared to Empress Dowager Hua Yang, Concubine Zhao was nothing.
"Grand Commandant, allow me to say something from the bottom of my heart…"
Meng Ao continued to sigh in admiration." You're lucky that you're a Grand Commandant. If you were to go to the battlefield, I reckon that Wang Jian and I wouldn't have anything to do with you."”
Wei Liao was speechless.
Meng Ao's words were sincere and not flattery. At the same time, he was sighing that it was a pity that Wei Liao didn't go to the battlefield.
" Hahaha!" Ying Zheng laughed and said," No matter what, it's the great fortune of Great Qin that you have such an epiphany!”
Although Ying Zheng said that, he subconsciously thought to himself,'Could it be that Wei Liao has copied Old Mister Ye's understanding of military strategy?'？
