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

Take (Zhuangzi. Tianyun)

The white clouds gather on the top of Taiqing Peak, like a waterfall cascading thousands of miles.

Among the sea of ​​clouds, there seemed to be 'exotic beasts' of different shapes that were writhing and using them.

Blossoming white clouds are like peaks and ridges, reflecting Taiqing Peak, which is strong and touching.

Roads of golden light pierced through the clouds and fog, swaying in the world to outline a colorful picture.

At the end of this fairyland on earth, there is a humble dwelling.

There is a chic courtyard in front of the door, leaning against the bamboo forest.

In the courtyard, Ying Yuan lay on the rocking chair and concentrated his energy.

On the other side of the bamboo forest, there are many palace buildings.

Many Taoist disciples are practicing swords and meditating at this time.

In the buildings of the palace complex closest to the bamboo forest, an old man was smiling and watching the playful scene of two skinny little road boys chasing after each other.

"The wind is like a knife, the snowflakes are drifting"

"Laughing Longevity in the Hall of Eternal Life"

"The world is chaotic, the world suffers"

"Looking at Longevity in the Hall of Eternal Life"

"Chunqiu mourns, time changes"

"Looking for Longevity Outside the Palace of Longevity"

"..."

The two small road boys kept whispering the nursery rhymes taught to them by the old man, and their immature voices added a bit of fun to the silent mountain forest.

The old man was dressed plainly in a blue-gray linen shirt, and his eyes were deep and energetic, which added a bit of majesty and dignity to him.

His white hair was scattered freely, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked unusually kind and kind.

Without exception, Ying Yuan, who was calmly concentrating, was disturbed by Xiao Daotong's voice.

He sat upright and stretched his waist towards the vastness of the sky.

At this time, Suzaku came to his side, overjoyed and said: "Master Hou, your complexion is getting better and better."

Since Ying Yuan came to Taoist Tianzong, he was personally healed by Chisongzi.

After two months of recuperation, there is basically no serious illness.

This time I came to Taoist Tianzong, not only the injury on the arm was healed, but even the hidden injury left by the battle in the Quartet was completely healed.

In time, he will be able to return to his peak state.

"Seeing you are so happy, but is there any good news from the teacher?"

The corners of Ying Yuan's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled.

He has not formally contacted Tianzong of Taoism, but judging from the meaning of Chisongzi, it seems that the cooperation between Tianzong and Qin State has come to fruition.

"I still can't hide it from Lord Hou."

Suzaku squatted in front of him, pinched his legs seriously, and said slowly: "I just received the news that Li Tong led an army of [-], and has captured Xingyang City, and is preparing to gather troops again to take advantage of the victory and attack." Gao."

Hearing this, even Ying Yuan was shocked.

He did not expect that Li Tong's marching speed was so fast.

As long as we make persistent efforts to take Cheng Gao, then South Korea's defense in the northwest will completely collapse.

The front of the Qin army will be directed at Xinzheng.

"What action can South Korea take?"

However, if Li Tong captured Xingyang, I am afraid that South Korea will fall into a sense of crisis.

Suzaku told Ying Yuan everything he had learned so far: "Back to Lord Marquis, South Korea has assembled an army of 15 troops and is moving towards Chenggao. This time the leader is Wei Zhuang, and Han Yu, the fourth son of South Korea, is in charge The post of supervisor.

Han Fei has already sent people to surround our Daqin Mission. Right now, Nei Shiteng cannot contact outsiders, and it is difficult to understand the current war situation.

In order to prevent South Korea from counterattacking, General Wang Jian planned to let Wang Ben garrison Kuicheng to stop Bai Yifei and Wei Yan's coalition forces. "

Ying Yuan fell into deep thought.

If as expected, the main battlefield will be transferred from the three cities of Gaojun, Kuicheng, and Shanyang to Chenggao and Xingyang.

only....

"At present, all the troops on the teacher's side add up to only more than [-]. Not only must the South Korean army be prevented from overwhelming the border, but also the Wei and Yan armies must be strictly guarded. Follow the teacher's orders and help some.

According to the teacher's ability, there is no fear that the army will be defeated, but just in case, does the king have any idea of ​​sending more reinforcements? "

Ying Yuan could predict that if the development of the war in South Korea is not controlled, there is a high possibility that a national war will break out. The national war here refers to a battle no less than the scale of the five kingdoms' conquest of Qin.

Before, he was still guessing that as long as South Korea was hurt, they would definitely restrain themselves, but now it seems that this is not always the case.

The war situation is changing rapidly, and no one can really predict the final result.

"A few days ago, the king had the idea of ​​adding [-] troops to the front line, but he was stopped by Li Si. He said that the war against South Korea should not be expanded. As far as the current situation is concerned, there are only disadvantages and no advantages at all."

Suzaku opened his mouth lightly.

Ying Yuan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "This Li Si is really getting more and more arrogant!"

"There is one more thing about him. The right protector of the Yinyang family, Moon God, and Yunzhong Lord Xu Fu are in Xianyang City at this moment. After being recommended by Li Si, the latter became the king's alchemist as he wished.

This person has always been famous for his alchemy skills, this time approaching the king, alchemy is probably secondary, the Yin Yang family wants to take this opportunity to have the right to speak in the court, which is the main purpose. "

Suzaku's analysis can be described as watertight.

Ying Yuan frowned deeply.

He got up suddenly, stood with his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and decided to look for the red pine nuts.

The latter is burning tea himself in the bamboo forest.

Seeing Ying Yuan walking slowly, he smiled slightly and said, "Master Hou is recovering from his injuries very well, given time, he can leave here."
