"Now that my Qin Country has gone through two wars of destruction, the country is empty. Although it has eased slightly after the autumn harvest, after the army went out, there is still a lack of food.”
Before the battle, the atmosphere in the Qin royal palace was tense.
Everything was making way for the battle to destroy Yan.
Li Si stood at the forefront. As the leader of the first two wars, he had won Ying Zheng's favor.
Currently, he was a popular person in front of Ying Zheng, and was only one step away from becoming the Prime Minister and becoming the head of all officials.
Actually, with Li Si's ability and contributions, he could have become the Prime Minister long ago.
A few years ago, Han Fei, the young master of Han Country, came to the State of Qin and proposed the strategy of attacking Zhao Wei first and then Han. He was slandered by Li Si and the others, and finally died in prison. By the time Ying Zheng came to his senses, Han Feizi was already dead.
Because of this, Li Si was suppressed for several years.
Li Si had gradually aroused Ying Zheng's suspicion.
Ying Zheng's eyes were focused. This was also the reason why Li Si did not agree to send troops earlier.
The two nation-destroying battles had almost exhausted the assets that they had accumulated previously.
Now, he indeed needed to rest and recuperate. On the other hand, he needed to digest the fruits of victory.
After digesting Han and Zhao, Qin's power would reach an unprecedented peak. This was Li Si's strategy of nurturing war with war.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. He originally wanted to rest for a few years, but he could not stand the Yan Country's iron head.
He actually made a big case that shocked the entire Warring States Period. Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin.
He was simply courting death!
He had to hit it head-on.
Ying Zheng rubbed his chin and said," After we deployed our troops in Zhongshan, the Yan Kingdom has become a frightened bird. I'm afraid that the other few countries will not give us the chance to develop and grow!”
Ying Zheng's idea was very simple: take advantage of your weakness to kill you.
Before the few countries could react, they should quickly destroy them.
If they joined forces, it would be no less than a disaster for the Qin country.
Of course, each country was cleaning up the snow in front of their own door. This also gave the Qin country the opportunity to unify the six directions.
" Report, 800 li is urgent!!!"
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the door.
"Hurry up and present it!"
Ying Zheng's expression changed drastically. The rush of 800 li meant that something big had happened.
Outside the door, a Qin Jun covered in blood rushed in and said anxiously,"Zhongshan is in a hurry. The Yan Country has sent 300,000 troops to besiege Zhongshan.”
Boom!
All the civil and military officials in the court changed their expressions.
Their first thought was disbelief.
The second thought was that the Yan Country was crazy.
You didn't wait for my Qin country to go to you, and you actually took the initiative to attack?
Was he courting death?
"Where is Young Master Lu?" Ying Zheng asked hurriedly.
As an emperor with great talent and strategy, Ying Zheng felt that this was the perfect opportunity.
The siege of 300,000 troops proved that the Yan Country was desperate.
They knew that the Qin army had deployed 150,000 troops in Zhongshan. They were all the troops that had participated in the destruction of Zhao. Once the follow-up troops rushed over to attack, the Yan Country would have no chance to resist.
And this 300,000 yuan should be the Yan Country's last resort.
He was going all out.
If they won, even if they defeated the Qin country, they would still be able to win a long time to breathe.
This time, King Xi of Yan also gave it his all.
However, according to Ying Zheng's understanding, King Xi of Yan was not a man who would put all his eggs in one basket!
Was there someone behind this?
Ying Zheng frowned.
"Your Majesty, according to the scouts yesterday, we have arrived at Lishi.”Zhao Gao replied softly.
"Hurry up and have Gongzi Lu and Meng Wu reinforce Zhongshan. As for Zhongshan, I only have one request, and that is to hold fast and wait for reinforcements to attack from three sides.”
After saying that, Ying Zheng stood up and slowly exhaled.
This war would have a terrifying effect on him unifying the Six Directions.
In other words, whether or not he could unify the Six Directions, this battle was crucial.
Everyone else was a veteran general, only Young Master Lu, who led the army alone, took on such an important position.
Ying Zheng was caught off guard.
Ying Zheng's original intention was to let Young Master Lu lead thirty thousand men to the battlefield to gain experience, and it would not affect him much whether he won or lost.
Moreover, there was the old general Wang Jian backing him up.
However, he did not expect that the plan could not keep up with the changes.
In this way, Young Master Lu's role would be magnified infinitely, and this battle could even determine the fate of the world.
"Based on the distance between Lishi and Zhongshan, it would take at least fifteen days to advance at full speed.”" And King Xi of Yan will definitely retreat within twelve days," Li Si said slowly.”
Ying Zheng frowned.
"In other words, we must arrive within twelve days.”Ying Zheng slammed the table.
In other words, they had to arrive within twelve days. If the thirty thousand strong army wanted to arrive within twelve days, they would need to not rest or sleep.
However, that was impossible.
"Report, Young Master Lu urgently reports that he was ambushed by the Mo clan at Lishi yesterday.”
It was raining that night, and Ying Zheng slammed the table in anger and stood up.
"What does the Mo Family want to do?"
The Hundred Schools of Philosophy had always maintained a neutral position in the wars between countries. They might be biased, but there had never been a Hundred Schools of Philosophy that openly supported a country.
Actually, this was also the reason why Bai clan was in full bloom.
Because they were neutral, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy were the targets that the various countries tried their best to win over.
Ying Zheng's first reaction was that the Mo Family had gone mad.
The second reaction.
"How are the casualties?" Ying Zheng asked.
" We lost more than 120 people."
Ying Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.
"The Mo Family lost four machine-operated beasts." The scout reported.
"Pfft!"
Ying Zheng, who had just taken a sip of water to moisten his throat, instantly spat it out.
Four machine-operated beasts and 120 casualties?
In the entire Warring States, who didn't know how terrifying the Mohist mechanical beasts were?
"Alright!" Ying Zheng slapped his thigh.
This battle situation was very good. It was equivalent to a good start!
The only thing was that it had delayed time.
The opportunity was fleeting.
With his hands behind his back, Ying Zheng walked to the gate of the Qin royal palace and looked down at the scene in Xianyang City.
An indescribable sense of pride and ambition surged into his heart.
"General Lu, don't disappoint me!”Ying Zheng mumbled to himself.
Fu Su was a useless person who couldn't be helped up. The remaining young masters were all trash.
And the appearance of Jiang Lu gave Ying Zheng hope for the future.
Or even the Crown Prince
A bold idea emerged in Ying Zheng's mind.
It was not that Ying Zheng did not want to decide on a new crown prince, but that he had not found anyone who could catch his eye.
However, the appearance of Jiang Lu gave Ying Zheng hope.
"If you can satisfy me, I won't mind making you the Crown Prince!”Ying Zheng mumbled to himself.
His voice was not loud, but Zhao Gao, who was standing in front of the hall and not far away from Ying Zheng, heard it.
It was precisely because he heard it that his entire body trembled.
His face was filled with shock.
The King of Qin actually wanted to make Young Master Lu the Crown Prince?
He had risen.
Zhao Gao knew that Young Master Lu was about to rise.
However, Zhao Gao was thinking in his mind, could Young Master Lu be of use to him?
Yes, he was not mistaken. Zhao Gao was not thinking about leaning on Young Master Lu, but whether he could control him.
After all, Zhao Gao already knew that Qin Wangzheng looked down on Fu Su, and Fu Su looked down on Zhao Gao, who was a eunuch.
Zhao Gao had always had a huge ambition in his heart.
So what if he was a eunuch? Even if he was a eunuch, he still wanted to stand at the top of the world.
