Daqin Ghost Valley, makes you vertical and horizontal but not unified

"The best policy is marriage!

"As the so-called brothers end up with younger brothers, this is a tradition in Nanzhong. You can marry Mrs. Shi and treat your elder brother's children as if they were your own.

"This will not only solve the problem of status, but also win a good reputation."

Feng Quji said confidently.

There was silence again.

After a long time,

"Hahaha!"

Cao Chao suddenly laughed: "Today I know that Quji treats me with sincerity.

"Yes, I appreciate you very much!"

After laughing, his face suddenly became serious, and he said solemnly:

"From today onwards, Feng Quji will be granted the title of Army Advisor to the Right, and Zhu Ying will be promoted to be the Army Advisor to the Left at the same time!"

Zhu Ying and Feng Quji both froze, and then they were overjoyed and quickly bowed to salute.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Both of them knew in their hearts that although Cao Chao didn't say anything, his attitude was already obvious.

He will adopt Feng Quji's suggestion and will soon have to clear his name.

However, these words can only mean and cannot be conveyed in words. Both of them are good hands in politics, so it is naturally tacit understanding.

So the three of them chatted a lot, and Cao Chao simply told Feng Quji about his other identity.

Only now did Feng Quji know why Cao Chao hadn't rectified his name, and he was a little embarrassed.

However, the embarrassment came and went quickly. As the topic deepened, many views of Feng Quji and Zhu Ying coincided.

Looking at the two people talking with Pepe, Cao Chao suddenly thought of a question.

With the continuous expansion of power, the demand for talents will increase.

Still have to think about how to recruit talents.

Several thoughts flashed through Cao Chao's mind, but he rejected them one by one.

In Cao Chao's opinion, methods such as the imperial examination system, finding talents, and finding talents in person are not available.

Even if he marries his sister-in-law in the future, it's useless to become a serious Nanzhong overlord.

After all, Nanzhong is too remote, in the eyes of Central Plains people, they are just a bunch of barbarians, and Cao Chao's reputation is not obvious, how can anyone be willing to come and join him?

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and Cao Chao's eyes lit up.

"By the way, there is also Confucianism!"

That's a gathering place for talents. Wouldn't it be fine if a few talents were kidnapped from there?

Thinking of this, a bold plan gradually took shape in Cao Chao's mind.

"Why are you laughing, Your Majesty?"

Just when Cao Chao was dreaming, Feng Quji's voice came from beside his ear.

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. Seeing that both of them were looking at him, he laughed.

"I'm thinking, tomorrow is the time to send troops to destroy Zhuang Kui."

Zhu Ying: "!!!"

Feng Quji: "!!!"

……

Qin State, Xianyang

Today's Zhangtai Palace is very quiet, the atmosphere is oppressive, as if there is a thick layer of dark clouds pressing on everyone's heads, everyone's face is covered with uneasy expressions, except for one person.

Ying Zheng was dignified on the throne, with a calm demeanor, and said lightly:

"The news came from the front that Huazhou and Jiazhou fell one after another, Taiyuan County and Sanchuan County were all gone, and Wang Yan and Meng Ao had retreated to Hangu Pass to hold on.

"What is your plan to retreat from the enemy?"

quiet,

Deathly silence.

In the court hall of two to three hundred people, no one spoke, and all the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

The impact of this defeat was too great. The entire 20 army lost 12 people, and only [-] escaped back.

Had it not been for the natural moat of Hangu Pass, the Allied Forces of the Six Nations would have marched straight to Xianyang long ago.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ying Zheng first looked at Yangquan Jun Mi Chen

"Mr. Yangquan, the confrontation between Daqin, Zhao and Han came from your proposal to send troops to Shangdang County. I don't know how you can retreat from the enemy now?"

"This……"

Mr. Yangquan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he couldn't tell why for a while.

In fact, he also suffered a heavy loss this time. Wang Lu's retreat meant that Taiyuan County fell completely. The confidants sent out before were either killed or captured, and only a few escaped back.

The Chu family suffered heavy losses in this battle.

But what can he say?

He couldn't say anything, and he had to be questioned by Ying Zheng. He was really aggrieved.

The next moment, Ying Zheng set his sights on Lu Buwei again.

"Father Zhong, the confrontation between Daqin and the Kingdom of Wei originated from your suggestion. Now that Daqin is in a crisis of survival, I will leave everything to Father Zhong."

"This……"

Lu Buwei was also very depressed.

Although he didn't arrange his subordinates to Wei State, his fief Sanchuan County is east of Hangu Pass!

Now that Wang and Meng are defeated, and the entire line east of Hangu Pass has fallen, Lu Buwei has become a marquis without a fief, which is really aggrieved.

Now Ying Zheng put all the pressure on Lu Buwei, causing him to suffer a lot.

"Old minister, follow orders."

Seeing Lu Buwei bowing his head to accept orders, Ying Zheng's mouth curled into a subtle sneer.

After retreating from the imperial court, Yingzheng walked to the imperial study, and Ge Nie beside him couldn't help reminding:

"Your Majesty, Lu Buwei is a civil servant. Would it be risky to let him go to confront the six kingdoms?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and chuckled: "It's okay, my Great Qin has the Hangu natural moat, and the six kingdoms can't get in.

"This time, let the widow take a good look at how much strength Zhongfu has under his hands."

Chapter 130

The next day

"Let's talk about it, everyone."

In the main hall, Cao Chao asked with a serious expression.

Still silent as always, everyone was lost in thought.

The strategy Cao Chao formulated this time is to destroy the strongest Zhuang Kui first, and then go back and wipe out the armies of other countries.

It's just that Zhuang Kui has [-] troops in his hands, so how can it be so easy to destroy?

"Your Majesty, this subordinate believes that this battle must be won quickly, and it is not appropriate to delay it for too long.

"Otherwise, after a long time, when the troops from various countries arrive, our army will be surrounded."

Zhu Gongdao first expressed his views.

Cao Chao nodded slightly.

These words are indeed reasonable. It seems that among the eighteen cavalry generals, a general with a passable strategy has finally been found.

A few days ago, Cao Chao continued to teach some formations and strategies to the 36 people, and now it seems that he has taught one at least.

However, Cao Chao still turned his attention to Zhu Ying.

In terms of strategy, it depends on the military adviser.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Zhuang Kui's urgency to regain the capital of the Dian Kingdom has another reason besides political factors."

"Oh?"

Cao Chao frowned: "Speak!"

"According to what I know, and the population of Lan is less than [-], and Li Ling and Li Yuan have sent troops twice in a row before, how can they support the [-] soldiers and horses in Zhuang Kui's hands?

"The subordinates dare to say that Zhuang Kui must be short of food now, so he had to recover the capital of the Dian king as soon as possible."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present suddenly realized.

"What the military adviser said is very true, so what is the specific strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Cao Chao continued to question.

If Cao Chao thinks carefully, he can come up with a solution, but since he has a ready-made idea master, why not do it?

"The subordinates think that our army can make full use of Zhuang Kui's mentality.

"To be more specific, Your Majesty can pretend to dispatch a large army to deal with the troops of Kunming or Moxi, making Zhuang Kui mistakenly think that the capital is empty.

"In this way, in order to seize the opportunity, Zhuang Kui will definitely order a quick march to recapture the capital as soon as possible. I can set up an ambush on the way and catch him by surprise!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Zhu Ying revealed all his plans.

What he said was clear and logical.

After Zhu Ying said this, everyone finally figured it out and applauded.

"Great plan, I will be able to wipe out that Zhuang Kui in one fell swoop.
