Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 5 Wings Flap
Chapter 5 Wings Flap
Inside the Xianyang Palace.

Although it was late at night after returning from Zhao Gao's residence, Ying Zheng didn't care about rest, so he quickly summoned Wang Jian, Li Si and other ministers into the palace.

The red candle flickered, and everyone looked at Ying Zheng on the throne full of doubts.

Now that the world is peaceful, the emperor summoned him urgently. Could it be that another major event happened in the empire?

Among all the people, only Wang Ben knew what the emperor was thinking.

But he dared not say it.

After a long silence, Yingzheng asked straight to the point: "Someone told me that the conquest of Baiyue would be defeated. What do you think?"

"I still mean the same thing. Daqin really can't bear to make a fuss. If there is a mistake in the conquest of Baiyue, the world will be in chaos. Therefore, I oppose the expedition to Baiyue." The right minister Feng Quji stood up and objected.

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal. There is news from the Black Ice Terrace that the remnants of the six kingdoms are brewing to harm the empire. The Huns in the north seem to have the intention of going south. It is indeed inappropriate to use an overwhelming army to deal with Baiyue at this moment. I hope Your Majesty will think twice." It is also trying to prevent it.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is alarmist. When those barbarians see my army arrives, they will bow their heads and become ministers. I am willing to issue a military order and promise not to return it until it breaks the Baiyue." Tu Ju said dissatisfiedly looking at the surrounding anti-war ministers.

In the Qin Dynasty, people were granted titles based on their military merits.Now that the world is settled, it is not easy to find fighter opportunities.

Tu Ju also expected to be promoted by relying on this battle. If the Southern Expedition was cancelled, then he must be the biggest loser.

Ying Zheng didn't make a sound, but his eyes fell on Wang Jian who was standing at the head of the general.

"What does the old general think?"

Wang Jian bowed and replied: "The old minister obeys His Majesty's orders."

Ying Zheng's heart was full of disappointment.

The hero is late.

Thinking back to the old general who was famous in the past, now he lives in the court, just to protect himself.

His gaze shifted and landed on the relatively young Meng Tian.

"What do you think Meng Qing?"

"I have always guarded the northern border, and I don't know much about the situation in the south. Therefore, it is difficult to make a judgment."

The two leaders of the generals in the court and the central government all remained neutral, which made Ying Zheng a little irritable.

Although the expedition to Baiyue is the unification of China, this matter should not be rushed, and now Zhao Gang and he coincidentally agree.

Ying Zheng convened a civil and military discussion just because he wanted someone to stand by his side.

But the performance of the crowd disappointed him.

"I asked you to come here to come up with ideas, not to stand here as wooden stakes."

When everyone heard the words, they were all silent.

Ying Zheng looked one by one, and finally landed on Fusu.

As his eldest son, the future heir of the empire, Ying Zheng has high hopes for him.

"Fusu, what do you think?"

Fusu looked at Ying Zheng and replied calmly: "It's hard to judge the outcome, but I remembered something."

"What's the matter?"

"The Battle of Chu."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

The only major defeat in Qin's battle against the Six Kingdoms was Li Xin's first attack on Chu. The 20 army lost nearly half of it. If it weren't for the strong foundation of Qin, the unification war would have stalled.

At that time, all generals were optimistic about Li Xin and were somewhat disapproving of Wang Jian's conservative tactics.

But the final result proves that ginger is old and spicy.

Now most of the generals agree that the Southern Expedition will be overwhelming, only Meng Tian and Wang Jian make conservative estimates. Could it be that victory or defeat is not as simple as Tu Ju said?
"The Xiongnu's cavalry is on the side, and the remnants of the six kingdoms are fleeing. At this time, the Great Qin can neither defend nor attack. Even if the father insists on fighting, he still needs to think carefully. .”

"Young Master, this is to destroy his prestige by making others ambitious. The Shanyue tribe has less than [-] soldiers in total. How can we be invincible with ten times as many soldiers as Daqin. Even if the last general is not as good as the old general, it will definitely not take much effort to deal with Xiaoshanyue With the power of blowing dust, how can we shake the theory of the foundation of the country?"

Tu Ju swears, and many generals also agree with his point of view.

The defeat of the Chu army was due to the fact that the Chu army lured the enemy to go deep, which caused the Qin army's battle line to be too long, and the enemy suffered from the front and back and was finally defeated.

Today's Baiyue is no match for the invincible Chu State back then.

"Then I ask you, do you have a way to deal with the miasma in the south, mosquitoes?"

"What if the enemy army cuts off your return route and the army hangs in the south?"

Ying Zheng asked two questions in a row.

Tu Ju was stunned for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he replied: "I will definitely not let this happen."

"What if it happens?"

Yingzheng was forced by bitterness and bitterness, and Tu Ju was in a hurry, a few drops of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

Standing in front of him, Wang Ben looked at Tu Ju, feeling helpless in his heart.Not long ago, I was also in such an embarrassment.

"The art of war is dead, but people are alive. Who can guarantee that the people of Baiyue will not think of such tactics? If it is true as guessed, wouldn't our hundreds of thousands of troops really be trapped in southern Xinjiang and wiped out by the entire army. "

The generals who advocated the attack were all dumbfounded for a while.

"The minister waits for capital punishment."

"Xuan Zhao, from now on, Tu Ju will be the general of the Northland, and go to the Northland to guard against the Xiongnu."

"Sinner, thank Your Majesty for not killing me."

Ying Zheng looked at the others and said: "Cancel the southern expedition plan, and all armies will immediately return to their camps to rest and follow orders."

"Hi."

A plan suddenly flashed through Ying Zheng's mind.

"Right side."

Feng Quji bowed and saluted Yingzheng.

"From now on, we will reopen the Lixian Hall and call all officials from all over the world to Xianyang."

Feng Quji was slightly stunned when he heard this.

It has been more than [-] years since the Lixian Pavilion was started by Qin Xiaogong.During this period, countless officials from Shandong came to Qin to flex their muscles.

After the unification of the six kingdoms, the Lixian Hall gradually fell into disrepair.

Now Yingzheng suddenly reopens the Lixian Hall.

Could it be that he thought that all the officials in the court were unavailable, so he planned to use another newcomer?

"Prime Minister?"

Only then did Feng Quji react, and quickly took orders.

Looking at the ministers in front of him, Ying Zheng unconsciously thought of Zhao Gang again.

Young, energetic and full of vigor, even though he knew he was facing Wang Ben, he didn't have the slightest intention.From him, Ying Zheng saw his past self.

It's a pity that I am old, and the courtiers who fought with me are also old, but Qin still has a long way to go.

"Forget it, it's getting late, you guys leave first, and Fusu stays."

Everyone retreated one by one.

When only Fusu was left in the hall, Ying Zheng asked, "Do you know about Zhao Fuling's nephew?"

"This……"

"It's okay to make friends with him, this person is very interesting."

After Ying Zheng finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Although Fusu didn't know the reason, he could only nod his head in agreement.
