Prime Minister's Mansion.
Lu Buwei stopped drinking and went back to his study to read the bamboo slips.
After suffering such humiliation today, Madam Hua Yang would definitely try her best to deal with Lady Zhao and Ying Zheng in secret.
"It seems that the hidden forces in Xianyang need to be mobilized!”
"When necessary, even if we have to die together, it's not impossible!!!”
As Lu Buwei said this, his eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
As a businessman, he had been the prime minister until today, and there were thousands of guests under his door.
Apart from his wealth, Lu Buwei's intelligence was far beyond that of ordinary people.
He wasn't afraid of gambling, because he had been gambling from the moment he chose to support Ying Yiren to the moment he became the king of Qin!
He wasn't afraid of losing either. After all, the money was just a worldly possession.
Even if he died, so what!
What he wanted was to leave his name for eternity and change his identity as a merchant!
It's almost midnight.
The candlelight flickered.
Lu Buwei put away the bamboo slip filled with small seal characters and prepared to give it away.
All of a sudden, an afterimage flashed past and appeared in front of Lu Buwei.
"Prime Minister, a spy hiding in Zhao has sent a letter.”
Hearing this, Lu Buwei quickly opened the bamboo slip and scanned the contents.
"The Great Yue Clan is attacking! The State of Zhao intends to send troops to the State of Qin!"
Lu Buwei said in a deep voice, his expression grave.
"Men!"
From time to time, a servant hurried over and bowed.""Prime Minister."
"Quickly invite General Wang Jian to come to my residence immediately and say that I have something important to discuss.”
"Here!"
……
At the same time.
Marquis Che Manor.
Ying Yong sat upright on his chair, looking dignified without being angry.
The three bamboo slips recorded in detail the movements of the Dayue Clan and Xiongnu, as well as the routes of transporting grain and fodder.
Apart from that, Zhao, which was close to Qin, was also prepared to secretly mobilize troops.
"Haha!"
Ying Yong couldn't help but sneer, his eyes showing disdain.
Lianpo personally led 200,000 troops to defend against Meng Ao's attack, which was already very taxing for Zhao.
Under such circumstances, they actually dared to send out thirty thousand light cavalry to prepare a surprise attack on Qin Country, wanting to force Meng Ao to retreat and take the opportunity to take down the cities at the border of Qin Country.
"It's a good idea!"
"But this old man has been plotting for decades. How can a junior like you casually figure it out?”
Then, Ying Yong picked up the three bamboo slips and threw them to the three people kneeling on the ground.
"Since the Great Yue Clan, Xiongnu, and Zhao are here to seek death, there's no need to let them go back.”
"Here!"
The three of them picked up the bamboo slips on the ground and quickly disappeared into the night.
……
The next day.
The sky was slightly bright.
A horse was approaching from outside Xianyang.
"Move aside! Move aside!"
"800 miles, urgent!"
The black-armored soldier rode his horse and headed straight for the Qin royal palace.
When the soldiers around him saw this, they all gave way.
In front of Zhangtai Palace.
The black-armored soldier raised his hand and quickly ascended the stone steps.
"Report!"
"Eight hundred li is urgent. The Great Yue Clan, the Xiongnu, and the Zhao Country will send troops to the Qin Country!!!”
Within the palace.
Qin Yiren's expression changed slightly when he heard this voice.
At this moment, the black-armored warrior rushed into the hall and raised the bamboo scroll high."Your Majesty, urgent report from the army!"
"Quick, present it!"
"Here!"
The bamboo slips were presented.
Qin Yiren quickly scanned the contents of the bamboo slips.
However, as Qin Yiren looked down, the expression on his face became uglier.
"Pass on my decree. Order the Prime Minister and all the officials to quickly go to the court for a meeting!”
"Here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-armored soldier hurriedly left Zhangtai Palace.
It was about the time for an incense stick to burn.
All the officials who heard that the King of Qin had summoned them rushed to the palace.
In the huge palace.
Baiguan Lin stood on both sides and discussed animatedly.
Only a few people seemed to have guessed the intention of the King of Qin's edict.
"The King of Qin has arrived!"
The sound of a bugle was heard, and the king of Qin, Yiren, stepped onto the high platform with a solemn expression.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"No need for formalities."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Yiren looked around at the officials and said in a deep voice,""I just received military reports that the Great Yue Clan and the Xiongnu have secretly mobilized 100,000 troops to invade the Qin border.”
"Zhao also took this opportunity to send 30,000 light cavalry to invade my Great Qin, intending to force the Qin to retreat!”
As soon as these words were said, the officials in the court discussed endlessly.
Only Lu Buwei, Wang Jian, and the others seemed to have known about this and didn't say anything.
"Prime Minister, General Wang?"
Qin Yiren noticed their expressions and couldn't help but ask,""Have the Prime Minister and General Wang thought of any countermeasures?”
Lu Buwei exchanged glances with Wang Jian and took the lead to walk out of the court. He cupped his hands and bowed,""Your Majesty."
"General Meng Ao is currently leading his army to Zhao. Within the pass, we can gather 100,000 soldiers to defend against the foreign tribes.”
"It's just…it's just that we don't know where the 30,000 light cavalry of Zhao will attack our Qin country from.”
Qin Yiren was deep in thought when he heard that. He nodded slightly and said,""Then according to the Prime Minister, how should we deal with this matter?”
Lu Buwei cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, I believe that General Wang can lead an army of 100,000 to the north to defend against the chaos of the foreign tribes and protect the foundation of Great Qin."”
"As for the 30,000 light cavalry of Zhao, I think it is most appropriate for General Wang Jian to speak.”
As he finished speaking, Qin Yiren's gaze instinctively turned towards Wang Jian, who had just walked out of the imperial court.
"General Wang, do you have any good ideas?"
Wang Jian pondered for a while before saying," Reporting to Your Majesty, although the State of Zhao is adjacent to the State of Qin, since they are preparing for a surprise attack, they will definitely not easily attack from the direction of the State of Qin's main army.”
"And the possibility of the Xiongnu and the Great Yue Clan invading is not very high.”
"Therefore, the most likely place is Shangjun!”
"This subject believes that the son of Meng Ao, General Meng Wu, can lead the troops stationed at Mount Li to prepare for reinforcements at any time.”
"Other than that, I, Wang Ben, can also lead the army to fight the enemy!”
"Cai!"
Qin Yiren heard this and shouted loudly. His face also revealed a happy expression as he nodded and said,"Qing is indeed worthy of being a general of my Qin country. Just this analysis and the intelligence of leading the army are not comparable to ordinary people.”
"Pass down my decree, order General Wang to immediately gather his army to attack the Great Yue Clan and the Xiongnu!”
"Wang Ben and Meng Wu, each lead thirty thousand troops to Shangjun and guard against the Zhao Country's surprise attack!”
"Here!"
