In the capital of the great State of Qin,
Xianyang Palace.
On the left and right sides of the hall stood thirty-two heavenly pillars, each with dragon kings coiling around them.
The two rows were lined with officials, including Li Si, Lord Changping, Wang Wan, and Neishi Teng. The military included Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Wang Ben, Li Xin, and Xin Sheng!
At the highest point of the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a black royal robe and a twelve-tasseled crown sat on a black dragon throne.
The man's expression was dignified and his eyes were cold. His gaze was incomparably sharp as if it could penetrate people. The might of an emperor arose spontaneously.
It was none other than the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, who had swept across the two countries of Korea and Zhao consecutively and created an unprecedented foundation!
"Dear ministers, where should our Great Qin Iron Army lead our army next?”
Ying Zheng swept a cold glance across the entire imperial court and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, there are four other countries outside of Great Qin. Among them, Qi has always been on good terms with Great Qin and is the furthest away.”
"Of the other three countries, the Chu Country is the strongest and has the most soldiers. It also has famous generals like Xiang Yan, so it poses the greatest threat to Great Qin!”
"As long as the Chu Country is destroyed, Wei Yanqi won't be a threat even if they join forces.”
"Thus, I believe that we should first attack the Chu Country!”
Li Xin was the first to step out and cupped his hands.
"No, everyone, please look at this map. If we attack Chu first, we will face the threat of Wei's army on the flanks. Therefore, if we want to destroy Chu, we have to destroy Wei first!”
Wang Jian spoke.
"That's right. As long as we destroy Wei, not only can we remove the threat of the Chu army's flank, but we can also directly supply the army from Wei.”
Xin Sheng and the rest also voiced out their agreement.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, apparently agreeing with Wang Jian's mature opinion.
The Great Qin Empire's path to unifying the Central Plains began with the destruction of Wei.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my incompetence.
This year's summer and autumn seasons were either floods or droughts. The harvest was 30% less than before. The food in the government's inventory could only support the 100,000-strong army for three months at most!”
Looking at the high-spirited generals, Lord Chang Ping, who was in charge of farming, hesitated for a moment before he braced himself and spoke.
"Ah!"
"What happened?"
"It can only support 100,000 soldiers and only three months of rations!”
"Although the Wei Kingdom is not as strong as it used to be, it still has an army of 300,000. Among them, there are tens of thousands of Wei soldiers personally trained by Wuqi.”
"With this little military rations, why don't we attack the Yan Country!”
"Just the territory of the Yan Country is located in the northern region. Even if we can take it down, there probably won't be much surplus. Instead, it will delay the great cause of conquering Wei!”
"In my opinion, we can only wait for two more years. When the treasury is sufficient, we can attack Wei!”
"Sigh, I thought I could destroy another country this year!”
"There's no other way. With insufficient rations, no matter how elite the army is, it's useless!”
"It would be great if anyone could conjure up a massive amount of rations for Great Qin!”
"You must be dreaming!"
When the generals heard about the situation in the treasury, they immediately shook their heads and sighed.
Great Qin's military merits and titles meant that they had military titles and status, which was the greatest glory for all martial artists!
But now, because of the lack of rations, they were forcefully delayed. How could these veterans not sigh with regret?
Only Ying Zheng had a thought.
"My third son, Ying Che, should have arrived in Yan Country by now, right?”
Ying Zheng asked.
"Third Young Master?"
The ministers looked at each other.
This Third Young Master, who had always been idle and indulged in women, suddenly asked to be sent to the Yan Country last month. He said that he wanted to use his tongue and Great Qin's power to make the Yan Country cede territory and pay tribute to Great Qin.
However, no one in the court took it seriously. They all thought that this young master wanted to harm more places after harming Xianyang.
It was only because His Majesty loved his son that he agreed to Third Young Master's request and allowed him to go to Yan Country.
Now, this profligate young master was probably enjoying himself somewhere and had completely forgotten about this matter!
Everyone shook their heads.
Ying Zheng's gaze immediately fell on Zhao Gao, the commander of the Central Carriage Prefecture, who was in charge of the net.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm deliberately hiding it, it's just that"
Zhao Gao pretended to be in a difficult position and stammered,"
"According to the report of the secret agents in Ji City, Young Master Che had indeed arrived in the Yan Country a few days ago. However, the first thing he did was to forcefully obtain the famous dancer and snow maiden from Yan Chunjun and Yan Crown Prince Dan. After that, he chased everyone away and lived in Fei Xue Pavilion!”
The officials were all in an uproar, and then they all revealed an expression of 'as expected.'
As expected of the number one silkpants in Xianyang City. Even in the Yan Country, he still did not forget to cause trouble.
Such an envoy was a disgrace to Great Qin!
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Young Master Che for his misdeeds and tarnishing the image of Great Qin!”
"Your Majesty, please quickly recall Young Master Che and choose another capable person to send to the Yan Country!”
"If Young Master Che is allowed to continue acting recklessly, I'm afraid that not only will he not be able to obtain benefits from the Yan Country, but he will also force the Yan Country to rebel!”
"Your Majesty, please punish Young Master Che severely!"
A group of censors who had always been at odds with Ying Che jumped out one after another and rushed to impeach him.
With such a good opportunity, if he didn't take this opportunity to punish the number one scourge of Xianyang City, when would he do it?
Even if he didn't have any personal grudges with Ying Che, as long as he could defeat the Third Young Master who was favored by the King, it would be a great achievement for the Young Master he supported.
There were also people who were also addicted to wine and women. They were envious and jealous of Ying Che, who had taken the number one dancer of the seven countries, and they took the opportunity to hit him when he was down.
She was the most famous dancer and beauty in the entire Central Plains. How could she let this rich playboy get away with it?
A trace of anger rose in Ying Zheng's heart, as well as disappointment.
He thought that his third son was going to turn over a new leaf, but in the end, he was still like this. In fact, he had even become worse.
It seemed that he really could not continue to indulge him.
Just as Ying Zheng was about to agree to the impeachment request of the censors, the Commander of the Imperial Army, Zhang Han, suddenly stumbled into the room.
"Your Majesty, General Meng Tian has urgent news for Ji City!”
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
To be able to make Meng Tian, who was experienced in the battlefield and had never changed her expression even in the face of a collapsing mountain, so anxious and not hesitate to use 800 miles of land, could it be that Che 'er had really caused a huge disaster in Ji City?
Ying Zheng could not help but feel furious.
This son of his was really too disappointing.
But then, as a father, Ying Zheng felt a little worried,"
Would something happen to Che 'er?
"Hurry up and read it out!"
Ying Zheng urged anxiously.
All the officials looked over, and many of them had solemn expressions.
They could not let this silkpants ruin Great Qin's good fortune.
However,
"Your Majesty, Young Master Che first used greed and lust to paralyze the Yan Country's monarch and minister in Ji City. Then, he sent out his cavalry to attack at night, killing Yan Crown Prince Dan and capturing Yan King Xi alive.”
After Zhang Han finished his sentence, the entire court exploded!
