"We understand."
Meng Wu and his sons nodded in unison.
"Today, the ancestor summoned me for one thing.”
"I believe you all know that our ancestor personally handed it over to Crown Prince Ying Zheng, right?”Meng Ao looked at the three of them and asked.
"I know. Two months ago, His Majesty appointed Young Master Zheng as the Crown Prince, but he was opposed by the officials. It was the ancestor who appeared and directly set Young Master Zheng as the Crown Prince.”Meng Wu replied.
"Then do you know that the ancestor personally taught the Crown Prince?”Meng Ao asked.
"I think you know about that as well. Your Highness is really lucky this time to have received the guidance of an ancestor. The next King of Great Qin is really amazing.”Meng Wu sighed.
"My ancestors of Great Qin have high expectations for the Crown Prince, so they called me over today to give the Crown Prince a chance to train. Tomorrow, we will attack Dongzhou and let the Crown Prince join the army.”Meng Ao said with a grave expression.
"Father, this is nothing."
"The Crown Prince's position is more important than anything else. Just arrange a position for the Crown Prince in the central army.”Meng Wu said with a smile.
"I originally thought so too, but the ancestor didn't allow it.”
Meng Ao sighed helplessly.
"Why?" Meng Wu widened his eyes in confusion.
"What the ancestor needs is blood and war to train His Highness the Crown Prince, not empty talk. That's why he wants the Crown Prince to be a soldier under our army and not treat him differently. If he treats him differently, the ancestor will punish me.”Meng Ao felt helpless.
Ying Qi did not allow Ying Zheng to be placed in the middle of the army, but if he were to be placed among the ordinary soldiers, it would be his fault if he was injured.
The Crown Prince was the foundation of the country, and if anything went wrong, Great Qin would be unstable.
"Then what does Father plan to do?" Meng Wu didn't know what to suggest.
" I plan to have Tian 'er and Yi' er accompany the Crown Prince as soldiers. If anything goes wrong during the siege, you must protect the Crown Prince with your lives. Of course, although there will be danger this time, there will also be opportunities. You will be with the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince succeeds the throne, you will be officials of the highest rank and will continue to carry forward the prestige of our Meng family.”Meng Ao looked at his two grandsons with anticipation in his eyes.
"As you wish, Grandfather."
Meng Tian and Meng Yi looked at each other and replied at the same time.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”
Seeing his two grandsons agree, Meng Ao finally revealed a smile.
After completing Ying Qi's task, perhaps he would be able to receive Ying Qi's reward after this expedition against the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
"Father, do you need me to go with the army?”Meng Wu asked.
"There's no need for that. This time, we need to fight quickly. We need to do our best to pacify the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the soldiers that the King has given me the Tiger Tally are also at Mount Li's camp at the border of Great Qin.”Meng Ao said in a deep voice.
"I understand." Meng Wu nodded.
......
Dongzhou.
A thousand years ago.
The Zhou Kingdom did not have the so-called Western Zhou. The Eastern Zhou Kingdom only had the Zhou Kingdom that unified the Central Plains. Most of the vassals in the world were enfeoffed by the Zhou Kingdom. Even the Great Qin Kingdom, Ying Qi's younger brother, Qin Ying, was also conferred by the former King of Zhou. However, he was only given an empty title and no fief.
But a thousand years later.
The Great Zhou that once dominated the Central Plains no longer existed. All that was left was a small country with no more than 20 to 30 cities and a population of less than a million. The power of the Great Zhou in the past had completely disappeared.
Gongyi City.
The capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
In the court.
"Your Majesty, the Qin country knows that our Great Zhou has contacted the other countries to form an alliance. They have already mobilized their troops and will enter our Great Zhou territory in a day at most.”
A Zhou official reported to Dong Zhoujun in fear.
"How can the Qin country's army be so fast? How did the news leak out? This time, I was clearly secretly planning to form an alliance and did not publicize it at all.”
On the throne, Dongzhou Jun's old face was tightly knitted together, filled with fear.
It was just a small Kingdom with only a few dozen Cities, so it was naturally incredibly terrified when facing a massive entity like Great Qin.
"Your Majesty, you think too highly of the countries.”
"In the past, this old minister advised you not to collude, but now it's too late to regret.”
"My Great Zhou secretly colluded with the various countries. The news must have been leaked from the various countries. The Qin country has spies all over the world.”An official of the Zhou Country said helplessly.
"Then what should I do now?”
Dong Zhoujun was also a little flustered.
"The Qin army is attacking, so they shouldn't have many soldiers. Now, we can only place our hopes on the other countries. If they come, we might have a chance to resist the Qin army and even attack the Qin country.”A Zhou Chen said bitterly and helplessly.
In this chaotic era.
The so-called orthodox bloodline of the Great Zhou and the so-called aristocrats were just a joke.
In this world, only national strength and strength were respected.
"My dear ministers."
"Has the envoy sent by the alliance returned? Have the other countries mobilized their troops?"
Dong Zhoujun asked anxiously.
