Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Ying Chen gave an explanation.
"Your Majesty, with the Wei Kingdom's current strength, it is indeed unable to resist Great Qin's army, so the Wei Kingdom won't fight our army head-on. They will definitely rely on their tall Cities to defend.”
"You have to know that the many cities of the Wei Kingdom are the largest among the six countries, so it's very difficult to take them down quickly. If this drags on for a long time, it will be a huge burden on our logistics.”
"However, the Wei Kingdom is located in the Central Plains and does not have many cavalry like the Zhao Kingdom. Their mobility and combat ability are not strong, and they cannot threaten the rear of Great Qin at all.”
Wang Wan immediately retorted after hearing that.
"I'm not worried about the Wei Kingdom. I'm worried about the Zhao Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom in the south.”Ying Chen shook his head and said indifferently.
"Chu Country?" Wang Wan was stunned. Chu was far in the south, what was there to worry about?
When Jun Chang Ping heard Ying Chen's words, a bad premonition flashed in his heart.
Could it be that Marquis Wu An had sensed something?
"According to the information I obtained, the Xiang Clan of Chu is secretly mobilizing troops and moving towards Yingchuan County.”Ying Chen said slowly.
"Xiang Clan?"
Ying Chen's words were like a clap of thunder, causing Wang Wan to be stunned.
The rest of the people's expressions also changed drastically as they reacted one after another.
If they were really trapped on the battlefield of the Wei Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom would take the opportunity to send troops to attack Yingchuan County. At that time, they would be in big trouble.
Yingchuan County was located in the Central Plains and was a densely populated area. If Chu took the opportunity to occupy it, it would obtain a large number of soldiers.
At that time, if he wanted to take it back, he would definitely have to pay an even greater price.
The most terrifying thing was that if the State of Zhao also took the opportunity to send out troops, Great Qin would be attacked from three sides.
The best outcome would be to retreat back into the pass.
Lord Chang Ping's expression turned ugly.
It seemed that his secret arrangement this time could be considered a failure. Lord Changping was filled with hatred.
On the throne, a thoughtful look appeared on Ying Zheng's cold face.
"Uncle Wang, if you attack Zhao first, what are your chances of winning?”
After pondering for a long time, Ying Zheng asked.
"100%!" Ying Chen's tone was filled with determination.
"Good! Then let's attack Zhao first!"
Ying Zheng agreed to the plan of attacking Zhao State first.
"Order Meng Wu to lead the army to defend Yingchuan County. Uncle Wang, you will be the commander, Wang Jian will be the deputy general, and Meng Tian will be the vanguard.”
Speaking up to this point, Ying Zheng slowly stood up and looked down at the group of ministers.
"This time, we will send 300,000 troops. I hope to completely wipe out the State of Zhao within a year.”
"Uncle Wang, can you do it?"
Ying Zheng's majestic voice echoed in the hall.
Many of the officials were shocked. It was easy to destroy Zhao, but it was still difficult to do so within a year.
After all, the current strength of the State of Zhao was not weak.
In the crowd, Lord Chang Ping couldn't help but reveal a trace of joy.
If Marquis Wu 'an could not do it, he would definitely disappoint Ying Zheng.
At that time, he would be able to secretly make an issue out of it.
"Why a year?"
Ying Chen said slowly with a calm expression.
"In just half a year, I can completely wipe out the State of Zhao!”
Boom!
As soon as Ying Chen finished speaking, all the ministers were stunned.
Even Ying Zheng was surprised.
However, Ying Zheng still decided to trust his uncle.
Uncle Wang had never disappointed him.
"Alright, I wish Uncle Wang victory in advance!”
...........
Marquis of Wuan Manor.
"Did you really make a military pledge to destroy Zhao within half a year?”
In the warm room, there was a hotpot on the table.
All kinds of thinly sliced beef and mutton, as well as green vegetables, were placed on the table.
Ying Chen was leaning on a bamboo chair, and beside him sat Violet Girl, who was pouring wine for him.
"That's right. Half a year is more than enough.”Ying Chen took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
Violet Maiden looked worried." Aren't you afraid that something might happen? The Country of Zhao is not that weak."
"Don't worry, I have my own considerations.”
After Ying Chen finished speaking, he picked up a piece of meat, rinsed it a few times, and put it into his mouth.
"Mmm, it tastes really good. Violet Girl, try it too.”
As he spoke, Ying Chen also picked up a piece of meat for Zi Nu and brought it to her lips.
Smelling the alluring fragrance, Violet Girl's red lips parted slightly as she ate it.
"It's really delicious." Violet Maiden couldn't help but praise," Lord Marquis, how did you think of this method?”
"Hmph, you only know how to eat.”
At this moment, Yan Lingji's dissatisfied voice came from the side.
Violet Maiden's face immediately darkened, and she looked at Yan Lingji in displeasure.
The good atmosphere was ruined by you.
"The temperature isn't high enough. My little flame girl, quickly add more fire.”
Ying Chen glanced at Yan Lingji, who was still burning the fire.
" You!" Yan Lingji was about to flare up when she met Ying Chen's eyes.
Therefore, she did not dare to say anything more and could only continue to use the fire to heat the bottom of the pot.
After this period of "education", Yan Lingji had completely understood how terrifying Ying Chen was.
As long as she was by Ying Chen's side, she could only be a docile kitten.
"Haha."
Ying Chen laughed lightly, then continued to enjoy the delicacies with Violet Maiden.
This woman lacked education.
........
On the other side, Handan, Zhao Palace.
At this moment, Zhao Yan's face was pale as he sat on the throne in a somewhat dispirited manner. Recently, his health had been getting worse and worse.
He looked at the bamboo scroll in his hand, and his expression became uglier and paler.
A few years ago, they had once fought against the State of Qin. Marquis Wu An had defeated their army and occupied more than ten important cities of the State of Zhao, causing the State of Zhao's strength to greatly decrease.
Now, the Yan Country was actually causing friction at the border, which made the King of Zhao even more annoyed.
"Damn it, the Qin country actually wants to attack us again?”
Zhao Yan cursed when he saw a memorial.
"Do you think our Zhao Country can be bullied? I will definitely pfft!"
However, before Zhao Yan could finish his sentence, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty!"
Instantly, everyone in the hall turned pale with fright.
"Men, quickly call the imperial physician!"
Prime Minister Guo Kai hurriedly rushed forward and shouted as he supported Zhao Yan.
Two days later, King Zhao woke up from his coma.
"Prime, Prime Minister…"
Guo Kai, who had been waiting in the hall, immediately ran up and knelt in front of the bed.
"Prime Minister, I know I can't do it. From now on, Zhao will be handed over to you…"
Zhao Yan said as his face flushed.。
"Your Majesty, you will definitely be fine!”Guo Kai immediately cried.
"The Crown Prince is still young. I hope that the Prime Minister will do his best!”
Zhao Yan used the last of his strength to hold Guo Kai's hand and said with a trembling voice.
"Wei!"
Finally, Guo Kai nodded solemnly and replied.
"In that case, I can rest assured…"
Zhao Yan glanced at Crown Prince Zhao Qian beside him and revealed a gratified smile.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
On this day, King Zhao passed away.
