Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

All in all, after Le Yi, every generation of famous generals in Yan State will be suppressed to death by Zhao State.

The fate of the country is like this, alas, everything is fate.

[Chapter 145.142: Emperor's Fate]

Chen Bing's frontier fortress in Yan State, this move has attracted much attention.

The country that got the news first was Qin, followed by Zhao.

This is entirely due to Qin's means of inquiring about intelligence capabilities.

The espionage organizations of various countries basically cannot be compared with Qin's watchdogs.

Champion House.

After Ying Yuan heard the news, he sent someone to inform the king of Yan Guo's movements overnight, and then told Suzaku: "In the next few days, martial law will be imposed in Xianyang City, and I will order the guards in the city to closely guard Zhao Guo. Let the mission watch over, and don’t let Guo Kai know about Yan’s affairs.”

Yan Guo sent troops to gather at the border with Zhao Guo. This matter, the direction of Handan, will definitely notify Guo Kai.

And once Guo Kai was notified, he would definitely take some action, and even take the lead in deciding to delay the peace talks. After all, the peace talks under the circumstances of Yan State's attack on Zhao State would definitely not benefit Zhao State.

That being the case, Ying Yuan had no choice but to strike first.

He entered the palace late at night.

At the same time, Li Si, Wang Wan, and Wei Liao entered Zhangtai Palace together.

When Ying Yuan arrived, all three of them, without exception, bowed to him respectfully, "I have seen the champion."

He personally helped the three of them up, then looked at Ying Zheng, clasped his fists and said, "Your brother pays homage to the king."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Let's talk about it, this time Yan Guo attacked Zhao, should we join in the fun?"

This is also the reason why Ying Yuan put the whole city under martial law, wanted to keep Zhao Guo's messengers out of the city, and sent people to closely monitor Guo Kai.

It will be a wonderful opportunity for Yan Guo to attack Qin.

If it is used properly, I am afraid that this time it can directly attack Handan of Zhao State.

After all, now that Li Mu is dead, Lian Po also left Zhao State after having conflicts with Le Cheng, who had disappeared, and came to Daliang City of Wei State.

In other words, the current state of Zhao has no generals available.

Coupled with the loss of soldiers and generals during the attack on Hangu Pass, if this opportunity can be seized, Zhao Guo may suffer from the disaster of annihilation.

Since it is necessary to discuss whether to attack Zhao, it is better to shelve the peace talks for the time being.

Once Guo Kai is informed of Yan State's movements, he will either return to Handan to defend against the enemy, and may be informed of Qin State's actions in advance; prediction.

Since this kind of thing might happen, it's better not to let him know in advance.

On the way back, Ying Yuan had already figured out a strategy to deal with it, "Back to the king, my brother thinks that there are only two ways to go at this moment. One is to hoard troops on the border. After the country of Yan launches a war against the country of Zhao, we You can take advantage of the situation. Second, only hoard troops, while preparing to fight, while maximizing the benefits of the peace talks. Also take advantage of this opportunity to recover more than ten surrounding city gates such as Shouling. This move will start the national war possibility is minimized.”

According to his thinking, at that moment, the initiative will basically be in Qin's hands.

However, in this way, there will be another war.

And it is still united with Yan.

Ever since Yan Dan returned to Qin, declared a break with Ying Zheng, and assassinated Ying Yuan in Jicheng of Yan State, basically, Qin State and Yan State had no contact with each other.

Although it was due to the situation that they joined forces to attack Zhao this time, no matter what, it made the brothers of the Ying family feel a little uncomfortable.

Now I'm afraid that Yandan will make something wrong because of the hatred between each other after Qin's army is mobilized.

Ying Zheng is also thinking about this matter.

Yan Dan has a capricious personality and is a hypocrite.

It's okay to attack Zhao together with him, as long as we have a tacit understanding with each other. If we once unite with Zhao to attack Qin, I'm afraid...

Thinking of this, Yingzheng said: "From the point of view of a few people, it is not suitable to attack Zhao now. It is the second method you mentioned, which can make me, Daqin, a windfall in this matter. As for a full-scale war, launch In the national war, we must be cautious."

He said so, instead of immediately making a decision and implementing the second method, in fact, he also wanted to launch a full-scale invasion of Zhao Guo in his heart.

I'm just afraid that Yandan will develop something strange from it, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

The current state of Qin still needs to develop its internal affairs for a year or two, or calm down the aftermath of the Battle of Hangu Pass before it can launch a major battle. Even if it is defeated, it will not fall into the same embarrassing situation as Zhao State .

Li Si knew his concerns, and said: "Or...the minister will send someone to contact this Yandan? See if he can join us, Great Qin, in attacking Zhao?"

"Your Majesty, based on what you have seen, you should immediately send troops to guard the Hangu Pass area, and wait for the time to move. In addition, send someone to contact Yan Dan to see what he is thinking. Cooperation, according to the intention of Champion Hou, take the opportunity to seize Shouling."

Wei Liao also gave his own suggestion.

According to the historical records, Wei Liao did not contribute much to Qin.

Probably just provided Yingzheng with a piece of strategic thinking and the development of the war situation. Besides, as a national lieutenant, he did not personally lead the army to fight against other countries.

There is also a saying that he personally formulated the macro-strategic thinking for Yingzheng to unify the world, and first proposed to destroy Korea with Li Si.

In addition, he also made outstanding contributions to the reform of Qin's military system. Unfortunately, the shortcomings of Qin's military system have not been completely eliminated. In addition, he also proposed the theory of military management, which once improved the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin soldiers.

But this matter has yet to be verified.

In any case, the only thing that cannot be questioned is his outstanding ability.

Otherwise, from Ying Zheng's vicious eyes, it would be impossible for him to be appointed as a national captain.

According to legend, Wei Liao knew how to divination by face. When he first met Ying Zheng, he saw that Ying Zheng had the appearance of an emperor, but he was a temperamental person. He was afraid of being harmed in the future, so he wanted to leave Xianyang several times.

But Li Si stopped him every time.

It wasn't until he was made a national captain that he decided to stay in Qin and do things for Yingzheng.

"Well, what do you think, who will lead the troops in Hangu this time?" Ying Zheng asked.

Ying Yuan didn't say anything.

In the previous battle at Hangu Pass, he gained all his fame and fortune.

This time, it is not appropriate to volunteer or recommend others.

After having this idea, even he himself didn't realize that whenever he talked to Ying Zheng, he would start to squeak, and there would be nothing to say.

In the end, Wang Wan recommended a person who won the approval of Ying Yuan and Ying Zheng. This person was Meng Tian.

After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Li Si and Wang Wan still had some government affairs to deal with, so they did not go back home with Wei Liao and Ying Yuan.
