Chapter 145 Dig a hole and bury yourself

"Your Majesty, what do you mean!"

People arrive before they arrive, Zhao Gang is probably the only one in the world who has the guts to talk to Ying Zheng.

Although it was the first time for Meng Tian to meet Zhao Gang, the name had already sounded in his ears.

Turning his head to look at Zhao Gang in front of him, he seemed to confirm a point of view in his mind.

The relationship between Zhao Gang and His Majesty is by no means an ordinary monarch and minister. After all, even the young master Fusu and the eighteenth prince Hu Hai cannot achieve this kind of relationship.

It takes a lot of courage to stroke His Majesty's tiger whiskers in public.

Unless they are extremely close people, who would have the courage to do so.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gang in front of him with a smile, not affected by his attitude at all.

"Stinky boy, what are you yelling about? It seems that I need someone to teach you a good lesson, so that you know what is called etiquette and music, and what is called respect and order."

Zhao Gang said impatiently: "Don't talk to me about this. Don't you know the importance of Guanzhong? Now that the Huns suddenly rushed to Longxi, it means that our plan for the Northern Expedition has completely failed. It is already impossible to defeat the Xiongnu in one go. Under such circumstances, why are you still persisting here?"

Ying Zheng nodded: "Of course I know, but I can't retreat. Didn't you say the importance of the Hetao to us? If the Hetao is in our hands, it is equivalent to cutting out the heart of the Huns. Although Longxi is lost, But there are still 20 troops in Guanzhong, and although Fusu is young, with the assistance of Li Si and others, there will definitely be no problems."

Zhao Gang looked at the two people on the left and right and said, "You think so too?"

Meng Tian said: "I advise your Majesty not to withdraw the troops. The opportunity is indeed rare now."

"I suggest withdrawing the army and returning to guard Guanzhong."

"Wrong, Your Majesty is very wrong!"

When Meng Tian and Feng Quji heard the words, they were sweating for Zhao Gang again.

Ordinary people who dared to talk to Ying Zheng like this would have died a thousand or ten thousand times.Zhao Gang not only yelled at His Majesty, but even dared to say that he was wrong in public.

With such courage, he is probably the only one in the world.

"I was wrong?" Ying Zheng didn't seem to expect that anyone would dare to talk to him like this, and he was a little dazed.

"Yes, Your Majesty is very wrong! On the way here just now, I heard Wang Li talk about the overall situation of the defeat. Although the situation is not complete, I have some doubts and want to ask Your Majesty. "

"Oh?"

"Did the Huns have the habit of attacking at night?"

Ying Zheng was not sure, and his eyes fixed on Meng Tian.

"I have fought against the Huns for many years. Although the Huns are good at sneak attacks, they are well aware of the strength of our Qin army. In addition, they lack equipment, so it is difficult for them to complete the task of night raids. Therefore, I have never seen them attack at night. "

Zhao Gang asked again: "Then why did something that would never be done before, be done by such a coincidence this time, and it was just right, directly hitting our weakness?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and the aura on his body was released at once. Zhao Gang felt a little relaxed when he saw his expression. It seemed that Ying Zheng had guessed a little.

"You mean, someone is secretly colluding with the Huns?"

"I can't guarantee whether someone colluded, but I am certain that someone must have leaked the specific situation in the city to the Huns. Otherwise, why would it happen so coincidentally on a night when everyone was drunk? If it wasn't a coincidence, It’s really hard to explain.”

Ying Zheng's expression suddenly darkened.

He already understood what Zhao Gang meant.

If it is simply lost, relying on the ability of Fusu Lisi and others is enough to resist the invasion of the Huns.

But if the inside and outside cooperate with each other, no one can guarantee whether the city will be lost.Will this group of people who secretly colluded take action again at the right time?

"It seems that I lacked consideration."

Meng Tian and Feng Quji were stunned.

Ying Zheng admitted his mistake in public.

After dominating the world, Ying Zheng's aura of emperor became more and more serious. Even Meng Tian, ​​his playmate who grew up with him, and the commander of a party with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, felt that Ying Zheng was in a bad mood. to great pressure.

But now, Zhao Gang contradicted him in public without saying anything, and even made Ying Zheng take the initiative to admit his mistake.

It seems that I have to get to know this young man again.

"It's not too late to make amends at this moment. Mobilize the Henan defenders to defend Guanzhong. If there is a loss in Henan, they will be attacked by the enemy. What I mean is that the main force will not move, and [-] elites will be sent into Guanzhong quickly to cooperate with the [-] veterans of the Lantian camp in Guanzhong. , Even if you are not capable of fighting the enemy, you can still deal with the enemy, as a key surprise soldier. If someone is really in collusion with the enemy, the [-] troops can catch the Huns by surprise and kill them quickly, and catch the Huns by surprise."

"The Huns came here just for money. As long as they are frustrated, they will not dare to continue the attack. By then, if our army launches a strong attack, the Huns will be defeated."

The worry on Ying Zheng's face suddenly cleared up with Zhao Gang's explanation, and the smile condensed there again.

"Okay, okay, well said! The transfer of [-] elites is not a big problem for Daying. Zhao Gang, you are indeed my lucky star!"

"I dare not take your Majesty's compliments seriously!"

Ying Zheng looked at Meng Tian and Feng Quji with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, do you trust my decision now?"

After listening to Zhao Gang's analysis, the two of them were also filled with admiration. Seeing Ying Zheng's question, they cupped their hands and said, "I admire you."

Seeing them deflated, Ying Zheng laughed and said, "Okay, since everyone has no opinion, then I'm going to make a decision. Canonize Zhao Gang as the general seeking peace, and Wang Li as the deputy general. Command an army of [-] and return to Guanzhong to help Su with your son. Let's deal with the invading Xiongnu army together."

"what?"

Zhao Gang was dumbfounded when he heard this.

When did I become me?
I am a person who eats soy sauce for nothing!Famous Qin generals are like clouds, when will it be my turn to lead the army?
"Your Majesty, this food can be eaten indiscriminately, and the words can't be spoken! I have never fought a war. You asked me to lead the army. Isn't it a joke! Even if you really let me lead the army, you can't make Wang Li lose his mind. Make me a lieutenant!"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Gang with a smile: "Then who do you want?"

"At any rate, it must be the two generals Meng Tian and Wang Ben! The next best thing must be Li Xin and Xin Sheng."

Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "This expedition is about fighting fast. Meng Tian and Wang Ben are indeed suitable candidates, but they can't leave. Although Wang Li is young, he still has some of his father's ability. I believe you !"

Zhao Gang turned his head to look at Wang Li, and said word by word, "This can't be true, can it?"
