Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the autumn harvest.
Even though the Qin Country had suffered a great drought, the tube-shaped carts that Ying Ziqiu had made used the water from the great rivers to irrigate the farmland. There were also high-yield crops like potatoes and sweet potatoes.
He did not suffer much disaster.
The various granaries were filled to the brim, enough to support Great Qin's operations.
Since the Great Qin Empire was not affected by the drought, Ying Zheng naturally had the intention to raise an army.
Now.
Only Qi and Wei are left in the world. Ying Zhen can't wait anymore!
Zhangtai Palace.
"Everyone, the autumn harvest has ended.”
"Even though Great Qin is suffering from a drought, with the divine artifact that Ziqiu created, it still has sufficient food.”
"I'm prepared to send troops to attack Wei and complete the great cause of unifying the world as soon as possible!”
"What do you think?"
Ying Zheng looked at the ministers below and asked.
Although it was a question, his tone contained a dignity that could not be rejected.
"Your Majesty, I agree!"
"Now that Great Qin has sufficient soldiers and rations, it's time to completely unify the world!”
Li Si immediately went forward to express his agreement.
He knew very well what Ying Zheng was thinking at the moment. No matter what the minister thought, he was going to send out this soldier!
The other ministers also understood this logic and voiced their support.
Ying Zheng saw that all the civil and military officials had agreed to the proposal, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Good!"
"Since everyone agrees, then tell me who is suitable to lead the expedition against Wei?”
As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, Chunyu Yue jumped out.
"Your Majesty."
"These days, Young Master Fusu has been studying the art of war day and night, and he has quite an achievement.”
"We can definitely destroy the Wei Kingdom and bring it into the territory of our Great Qin!”
Wei and Qi were the last opportunities to establish military achievements. Chunyu Yue naturally wanted Fu Su to obtain this merit to increase his chips in the competition for the throne.
Ying Ziqiu had already destroyed the three empires and resolved countless problems for Great Qin, so he had a very high prestige in the hearts of the people.
If Fu Su did not have any battle achievements and was not supported by the people, just the title of Eldest Young Master was not enough to compete with Ying Ziqiu for the position of Crown Prince.
"Your Majesty!"
"I think Young Master Gao is more suitable!”
"Your Majesty!"
"I think Young Master Jiang Lu is more suitable!”
......
Feng Quji, Wei Liao, Duke Zhuang, and the other ministers also recommended the young masters they supported to Ying Zheng.
He hoped that they would be able to obtain this opportunity to lead the army and make contributions.
At the side.
Ying Ziqiu looked at the group of officials who were arguing endlessly and closed his eyes to rest. He had an appearance as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
He had already made enough contributions.
Destroying the Wei Kingdom was just icing on the cake, and it did not have much meaning.
If Ying Zheng asked him to lead the army, he would go and fight. If he was not allowed to lead the army, he would be happy to be idle.
"Your Majesty!"
"I think that the Second Prince is the most suitable to lead the army!”
"The Yan, Zhao, and Chu Kingdoms were all destroyed by the Second Prince in a very short period of time.”
"This humble subject believes that letting the Second Prince lead the expedition will be able to take down Wei with the smallest price!”
Li Si stood out and recommended Ying Ziqiu to Ying Zheng.
This action surprised Ying Ziqiu. He did not expect Li Si to recommend him.
However, he was only slightly surprised and did not pay much attention to it. His attitude was very Buddhist.
"Your Majesty!"
"The Second Prince might be powerful, but he has already destroyed the Yan, Zhao, and Chu Tribes, making an outstanding contribution to Great Qin.”
"However, Young Master Fusu is the eldest son of the Great King, and he hasn't made any contributions yet. I feel that we should give Young Master Fusu a chance to make contributions to Great Qin.”
When Chunyu Yue heard Li Si recommend Ying Ziqiu, he was so shocked that he quickly came out to speak.
He was afraid that if he said it a little too late, Ying Zheng would make the decision!
After all!
Ying Ziqiu's reputation was simply too great!
It had to be said.
Chunyu Yue's words were very timely, and Ying Zheng had originally wanted to make the decision to let Ying Ziqiu lead the army into battle after hearing Li Si's words.
But when he heard Chunyu Yue's words, he hesitated.
Even though he doted on Ying Ziqiu, Fu Su was still his eldest son and he had high hopes for him since he was young.
Ying Zheng felt that he should be given a chance.
As for Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu, and the others, they were relatively mediocre, and Ying Zheng had never considered them.
"Yes…"
"If that's the case, then Fusu will be the commander this time!”
"Order Great General Wang Jian to be Fusu's deputy general and lead an army of 100,000 to attack Wei!”
Pondering for a while, Ying Zheng made a decision.
"Uh..."
"That... Your Majesty, isn't 100,000 troops a little too little?”
Lord Chang Ping stood out with an awkward expression.
He knew how capable Fu Su was.
It was simply impossible to lead a hundred thousand troops to attack and destroy the Wei Country!
After all.
He was Ying Fusu, not Ying Ziqiu!
Even though they were from different camps, Lord Chang Ping had to admit that in terms of military and battle capabilities, even a hundred Fusu couldn't compare to Ying Ziqiu.
A hundred thousand men attacking and destroying a vassal state, other than Ying Ziqiu, there was probably no one else in the Imperial Court who could do it.
"Oh! I forgot that it isn't Ziqiu who is in command!”
"Then add another 100,000 troops, a total of 200,000 troops!”
"The Wei Kingdom is weak and has few soldiers. 200,000 troops are enough to destroy it!”
Hearing Lord Chang Ping's reminder, Ying Zheng immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly added a hundred thousand men to Fusu's army.
This...
Am I really that trash?
Fu Su's defense was directly broken by Ying Zheng's words, and his face was full of pride!!
He really wanted to stand out and say to Ying Zheng loudly," Father, I only need 10,000 men to destroy Wei!
but...
"Father, can you add another 100,000?"”
Puff--
Ying Zheng vomited, black lines appearing on his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched!
To destroy a small Wei Kingdom, 200,000 troops were not enough, and he actually wanted to add another 100,000!？
Truly useless!
At this moment.
Ying Zheng was starting to regret letting Fu Su be the commander!
"Your Majesty!"
"Young Master Fusu is being cautious. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I hope Your Majesty will agree!”
"That makes sense!"
"Sending an additional 100,000 troops is beneficial and harmless!”
Chunyu Yue, Lord Chang Ping, and the other ministers stepped forward to smooth things over for Fusu.
Although this request might make Ying Zheng look down on it, it could guarantee that he would be able to destroy the Wei Kingdom.
"Alright then! Fine!"
"Then I'll give you another 100,000 men!”
Ying Zheng's tone was rather helpless, but he still agreed. His good mood was completely ruined by Fu Su.
"Thank you, Father!"
"Your son will not fail his mission!"
Fu Su was overjoyed and immediately bowed to thank him.
......
Wei Country, Daliang City.
When the King of Wei heard the news of Qin sending troops, he was instantly flustered.
"Dear ministers, the Qin country is leading an army of 300,000 to attack the Wei country.？”
The officials looked at each other in silence.
What should he do?
They were also in despair!
Why don't we just vote!
Many of the ministers did not have the courage to fight the Qin Country in front of them and were prepared to surrender.
"Your Majesty, this subject is willing to lead the army to resist Qin!"
When the Wei officials were all silent, Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, stood up.
Even though he had been neglected all these years, he was still a member of the Wei Kingdom's royal family. He could not bear to watch the Wei Kingdom perish.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"I will immediately give you 300,000 troops to stop the Qin army!”
Seeing Lord Xinling step forward, the King of Wei acted as if he had grabbed onto his last life-saving straw and immediately agreed.
If there was anyone in Wei who could possibly block the attack of the Qin army, it would definitely be one of the four young masters of the Warring States Period, Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji!
"Yes!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"The person leading the army this time is the First Prince of the State of Qin, Fu Su.”
"Compared to Second Prince Ying Ziqiu, he's just a good-for-nothing. He's not worth worrying about at all!”
Wei Wuji's words were filled with disdain for Fu Su.
If it was Ying Ziqiu leading the army to attack Wei, then he would definitely be extremely fearful.
But Fu Su…
That would be ridiculous!
