Qin Shi: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Chapter 357 The Xianyang Palace in the First Year of Qin Wangzheng

At the beginning of the 11th year of Qin Wangzheng, Yang Ming officially returned to Xianyang, but before Yang Ming returned home, he was intercepted by the envoy from Xianyang Palace. When Yang Ming came to Xianyang Palace, he found that the people here not only had Before I came here, Xiong Qi, Wang Jian, and Li Xin were already here, and of course there was also General Huanjuan who didn't know how long he would be in office.

What is rare is that there is no Lu Buwei who is the Prime Minister here. During the few months when Yang Ming fought against the Chu State, a lot of things happened in Xianyang City. A king who monopolizes power can accommodate the Prime Minister. , but can't tolerate powerful officials.

However, these have nothing to do with Yang Ming. Although he has some friendship with Lu Buwei, that's all. Besides, in Yang Ming's view, it's almost time for Lu Buwei to retire bravely after Qin Wangzheng took charge. If you don't go, you have committed a big taboo. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, even if there is no such thing as Lao Ai's rebellion, it may be difficult to protect yourself.

"The captain of the guarding army will go home late for a while, I still have some matters here that need to be discussed by the captain of the guarding army." Seeing that Yang Ming had arrived, Qin Wangzheng took the initiative to speak.

At this time, Yang Ming's sight has also fallen on the giant map hanging behind Qin Wangzheng. The curves are connected, it is difficult to understand clearly, and the graphics everywhere are extremely complicated. , It is also difficult to see why.

However, Yang Ming could see clearly that the land of Han Zhao Wei Three Kingdoms, to be more precise, was the area of ​​Zhao State north of Dahe.

In the next few years, the only goal of Qin State is Zhao State. Cutting off Zhao State, the biggest obstacle in Qin State's road to unify the world, is the most important thing for Qin State in the next few years.

Of course, Yang Ming would not believe the kindness from Qin Wangzheng, so he sat down honestly. Regarding Zhao Guo, he had expected it a long time ago. Except for the final battle to destroy Zhao, he might not have a chance to make a move himself. .

In the original historical trajectory, Wang Jian had accumulated military merits at this time and gradually rose to a high position, but now because of Yang Ming's existence, Wang Jian's chances, which should have been Wang Jian's, all fell to Yang Ming. In the original time and space, the current military qualifications are still a little lower. If you want to reuse Wang Jian's Qin Wangzheng, you still need to provide Wang Jian with enough opportunities so that Wang Jian can replace Huan Juan as the current general.

And the city of Zhao State on the south bank of Zhangshui River is the place where Wang Jian can make military achievements.

"Last year's joint Wei-Chu attack on Chu almost solved the troubles of attacking Zhao. It would not be like the same thing that the Wei-Chu coalition forces aided Zhao during the Zhao Capital War. It's just that although the Chu-Wei two countries have broken up, the number of After two years, there may not be no possibility of abandoning the past and reuniting, so how long the favorable situation can last at this time is a question, maybe only three to five years." Qin Wangzheng said slowly.

"How to defeat Zhao State in three to five years, you still need your advice and suggestions to help me complete this matter." Qin Wangzheng continued.

In the entire hall, only Qin Wangzheng's voice echoed, and when Qin Wangzheng's voice fell, his eyes circled around everyone, and finally fell on Yang Ming. Chen, together with Qin Wangzheng, waited for Yang Ming, not because of Yang Ming's face, but because this matter required Yang Ming to actively recommend Wang Jian.

After all, in the current sequence of the Qin army, apart from the precarious status of Huan Juan, who already knew about it, Yang Ming has the highest status. If he directly bypasses Yang Ming for things like attacking Zhao, After all, something is wrong. When an army goes abroad, it is not only the king who chooses generals, but also the soldiers. An excellent general is to make the king feel at ease and the soldiers trust.

Although Wang Jian can convince Qin Wangzheng now, but for soldiers, Wang Jian is obviously not as good as Yang Ming.

Therefore, even if Qin Wangzheng and Yang Ming had reached a tacit understanding before, but Qin Wangzheng wanted to push Wang Jian to the throne, he still needed Yang Ming's help, at least in the current situation.

"Your Majesty, it takes two years to capture Zhao's city on the south bank of the Zhangshui River, push the battle line to the bank of the Zhang River, and then use the previous strategy of dividing the north and south to conquer Zhao's country in two years." See King Qin Zheng turned his attention to himself, and Yang Ming, who knew Qin Wangzheng's intentions, took the initiative to say that this was a kind of tacit understanding between him and Qin Wangzheng at the beginning.

"Who do you think the captain of the guarding army can take the lead in this matter?" Seeing that Yang Ming was very cooperative with him, Qin Wangzheng was very satisfied. With him and Yang Ming pushing Wang Jian to the throne, there should be no suspense at this time. As for Huan He, he was originally pushed up by Qin Wangzheng, and it is precisely because of this that Qin Wangzheng realized that while exercising the royal power, he also needs to obtain support from all parties as much as possible, so that it can be more stable. It is the supreme right in the world, but it is not yet omnipotent.

"General Wang Jian." Yang Ming, who knew what answer Qin Wangzheng wanted to hear, said the answer.

In fact, Qin Wangzheng was thinking too much. Qin Wang was able to accommodate Yang Ming and Wang Jian at the same time, and the military exploits of conquering the six countries cannot be enjoyed by one person alone. Moreover, in the eyes of others, it may be an army of destroying the country with infinite value. Gong is just common to Yang Ming. Although Yang Ming has enough respect for this world, deep down in his heart, he has a sense of superiority that only he can have, and even he himself has never realized it.

That sense of superiority is not due to Yang Ming's arrogance, but because when a person's vision can span the distance of time and space, the vision brought by him will unconsciously affect his mind.

It is precisely because of this that in some people's eyes, Yang Ming, who should have been born in a military family, has a deep Taoist aura in him, and his Taoist elements come from this. Ren Erzong is still an independent Yin-Yang family. What they pursue is something that others and even themselves seem to be illusory, but here Yang Ming can already see a part of the truth.

"The widow also thinks so. In the next two years, the matter of pulling out Zhao's cities on the south bank of the Zhanghe River will be handed over to you, General Wang." Qin Wangzheng, who was recognized by Yang Ming, looked at Wang Jian and said.

"I will live up to the king's expectations." Wang Jian stood up and bowed heavily.

"Li Xin, you are the deputy general." Qin Wangzheng looked at Li Xin again. Li Xin, the most trusted official by his side when he was not in charge, except for Yang Ming, who did not belong to this era, He is already the best existence among the younger generation, and more importantly, Li Xin is a person recognized by Qin Wangzheng.

"promise."

When Yang Ming walked out of Xianyang Palace, it was already dusk, after parting from Wang Jian and Li Xin in front of the palace gate, Xiong Qi followed.

"Brother Yang Xian is looking for leisure. Does this mean that he feels comfortable at home and doesn't want to go out to fight?" Xiong Qi, who was walking side by side with Yang Ming, said with a smile.

The relationship between Yang Ming and Xiong Qi was not bad because of the rescue of Xiong Qi's wife at the beginning. Later, because Mi Lian recognized Yang Ming as his adoptive father, the relationship between the two families was naturally one step closer. However, knowing that Xiong Qi This guy doesn't know when he will give birth to Yang Ming who is anti-Qin Xinsi, and he only maintains the relationship between the two families to this point. As for the deeper ones, forget it.

"It's Mr. Changping who understands me. The newlyweds are so willing to sleep in the open and live in the open." Yang Ming said bluntly.

"Sure enough, sure enough, this is your real idea. The world only knows that you are not easy to fight, but they don't know that what they think is of infinite value and worth fighting for, is actually just ordinary with you." Xiong Qi said with a smile, there is a lot of envy in his eyes, not everyone can be as casual as Yang Ming.

How many people in the world can do whatever they want?
"It's not that simple. If I don't seek fame and wealth, and don't seek the presence of dignitaries, why should I come to Qin? It's just that my ideal is just like this, so it's easy to be satisfied. But Mr. Changping, what are you pursuing?" Yang Ming asked back and looked at Xiong Qi, when did this man decide to oppose Qin, Yang Ming was very curious.

As members of the royal family, Xiong Qi and Yan Dan are similar people. Moreover, when it comes to the strangeness of life experience, Xiong Qi is even higher than Yan Dan. Both of them have to face the almost invincible situation of Qin The pressure is to struggle in the face of the danger of national subjugation, but, in the struggle, one has become a joke, and the other has really made Qin feel the pain of the skin. peaceful.

Compared with Yan Dan's high ambition, Xiong Qi is much, much stronger.

"Me? Just hope the lintel doesn't fall down." Xiong Qi pondered, but it's really hard to say whether the lintel he mentioned is the Changping Lord's mansion in Xianyang, or the Chu Palace in Shouchun.

"It seems that Mr. Changping also has his own troubles."

"Life is alive, how can there be no worries, but as long as there are more happy things than worrying things, life will not be lost." Xiong Qi sighed, people who think too much are always accompanied by troubles, and he His identity made it impossible for him not to think too much.

The only response to Xiong Qi was Yang Ming's noncommittal.

"Speaking of which, an interesting incident happened before." Xiong Qi changed the subject.

"Let's listen to it." Yang Ming took over the words.

"This matter really can only be told to you." Xiong Qi recalled, and said: "Your dear brother, who is the first person Lian'er called out?"

"It's either the father or the mother, so there shouldn't be any surprises, right?"

"It's foster father." Xiong Qi said with a strange expression on his face.

"This?" Yang Ming was also speechless for a moment, but what was misunderstood by others.

"Speaking of which, Lian'er is really close to my virtuous brother." Xiong Qidao, of course he didn't misunderstand anything, he just found it interesting.
