Great Qin, Xianyang Palace.
The court was silent.
King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Ying Ji, was sitting on the highest throne, his face dark and scary.
"With so many people, we can't even solve the problem of transporting rations.”
"What a bunch of trash!"
"Do you want to watch Great Qin's hundreds of thousands of soldiers starve to death in Changping?”
Ying Ji stood up abruptly.
The bamboo slips in his hands were thrown down angrily.
All the food that Great Qin could collect had been sent to the front lines.
As a king, he only ate a bowl of porridge every day.
The people below were even worse off.
He could only eat half a bowl of porridge a day.
Some could only eat grass and tree bark to satisfy their hunger.
The situation in the State of Zhao was naturally not much better.
He thought that the two sides would continue to be in a stalemate and see who could last until the end.
However, not long ago, the Governor of Shu Prefecture, Li Bing, sent good news.
Ba and Shu had a bumper harvest this year.
It was enough to support Changping's consumption.
Ying Ji was overjoyed.
He thought to himself that the heavens were blessing Great Qin.
However, the mountain road was rugged and the grain could not be transported out smoothly.
In order to solve this problem.
He had discussed countermeasures with the ministers several times, but they had not found a suitable solution.
In his anger, this scene in the imperial court happened.
"Your Majesty, it is really difficult to get in and out of Ba Shu. It is as difficult as ascending to the heavens to transport food out smoothly.”
"I feel that we might as well withdraw our troops and continue wasting time like this.”
"Let's not talk about the outcome of the Battle of Changping for now.”
"I'm afraid there's going to be chaos in the country!”
Zong Zheng stood up and reported with a bitter face.
The imperial court was filled with sighs.
They were all famished and their faces were yellow.
Even when he came to court today, he was still holding on.
"Anyone who dares to retreat will end up like this.”
Ying Ji pulled out the Sword of the King of Qin and hacked the table in front of him, then swept his cold eyes across the ministers below.
"Is there any news from Shu Prefecture?”
Ying Ji looked at Fan Sui with a sharp gaze and asked.
"Reporting to my king."
"The Governor of Shu Prefecture, Li Bing, is leading the people of Shu Prefecture to open the plank road.”
"However, the mountain is hard and the terrain is unpredictable. The progress is very slow. Even if it is successfully opened, the boardwalk is too narrow.”
Fan Sui reported truthfully.
His heart trembled as he was stared at. He knew that Ying Ji was truly enraged!
The imperial court fell silent once again.
The ministers were all thinking about how to solve this problem.
They all knew how important Shu County's rations were to Great Qin.
Moreover, anyone could tell.
As long as this problem was solved, he would definitely be rewarded by the king.
This was a decision that would determine the fate of the country.
Just as the officials were scratching their ears and cheeks.
The guard's voice came from outside the door.
"General Ying An has returned!"
"Send it in quickly!" Ying Ji said hurriedly.”
Ying An quickly walked into the royal court. The bloodstains on his armor were clearly visible.
"Join my king!"
Ying An cupped his hands.
"An 'er, you've had a tough journey!"
"Seeing you like this, this one's heart truly aches.”
"Someone, bring me some water so that my An 'er can wash his face.”
Ying Ji's eyes were filled with concern.
When he looked at Ying An, he didn't look like a king at all.
Even the elders in the family were very gratified to see a promising junior.
"Thank you, Great King!"
Ying An didn't try to be pretentious. He started to wash the dirt off his face very slowly.
None of the civil and military officials said a word.
This was the treatment Ying An deserved.
They were convinced!
Great Qin had established a country with military merits!
"General Ying An has worked hard this time. After the king rewards you, you can return to the residence to rest for a few more days.”
Fan Sui said with a smile after Ying An finished washing his face.
"Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister."
"However, I received an urgent order from the king to return to Xianyang to discuss how to deal with the problem of grain transportation.”
"It's not too late to talk about rest after we solve the problem.”
Ying An's face was as cold as ice, and he looked as if he was a thousand miles away from others.
Even though Fan Ju had contributed greatly to Great Qin's development, he was the one who had accused Lord Wu 'an of rebelling.
As a result, Great Qin's God of War was sentenced to death!
As Baiqi's disciple, Ying An naturally couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Fan Sui.
Fan Sui's eyes flashed with surprise.
Why didn't he know that the King of Qin had sent an urgent order to Ying An?
He began to wonder.
However, he still maintained a smile on his face." General Ying'an is concerned about the country. It's really a blessing for Great Qin.”
"General, you will be like Lord Wu 'an in the future and become Great Qin's barrier!”
"It is only a matter of time before we conquer the six countries and unify the world.”
Ying Ji frowned and said coldly,""Prime Minister, you're talking too much. An 'er is my grandson and a member of the Great Qin Clan.”
"You must always remember this!”
He was reminding Fan Sui not to play any tricks.
"We understand!"
The ministers said in unison.
"An 'er, you've had a tough journey. Do you want to rest for a while?”
Ying Ji said with a smile.
His smile came from the bottom of his heart, completely different from Fan Sui's fake smile.
Because his heart truly ached for Ying An. He couldn't bear to see him suffer so much at such a young age.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"I'm not tired!"
"Moreover, I already have a countermeasure to solve the problem of Shu Prefecture's grain transportation.”
Ying An said resolutely.
