"Haha, I probably understand a little bit of what Mr. Li means." Gu Xun nodded slowly and replied, "However, I don't understand that it is important whether South Korea is destroyed or not?"
"The location of South Korea..." Li Si heard this and was about to repeat the reasons he just mentioned for destroying South Korea.
"Stop, stop, stop..." Gu Xun quickly raised his hand to signal him not to say this in a hurry, "There's no need for Mr. Li to say it again."
"I mean, compared to Zhao Guo, how strong is South Korea?"
Li Si remained silent for the time being, and Gu Xun turned his attention to the many military attachés in another row. Finally, Meng Wu took up the conversation and said plainly, "South Korea is only one county, with a military strength of less than 100,000, and lax armaments.
The mighty Zhao is vulnerable to a single blow."
Han Fei could only smile bitterly as he listened to other people's wanton belittling... It wasn't really belittling. It should be said that they were looking down on his own country.
After Meng Wu finished speaking, Li Si asked Gu Xundao, "What does the Imperial Master mean by asking this?"
Gu Xunyi shrugged, "Since South Korea is so weak, destruction and immortality are just a matter of a thought. I think it is better to pay more attention to the war on the Zhao side at the moment."
Wei Liao interjected with great interest at this time, "I never thought that the Imperial Master would be so concerned about the war?"
Gu Xun replied disapprovingly, "I don't care, isn't this... you asked me to express my opinion?"
Ying Zheng:......
"...Haha..." Wei Liao was also choked by his answer. After being stunned, he laughed and continued to ask, "As far as I know, the Imperial Preceptor seems to have some friendship with the general of Zhao State. Is it right?
What unique insights do you have about this war?"
"Opinion? That's not true." Gu Xun shook his head, but his tone suddenly changed, "But I do have some suggestions."
"Oh, please speak clearly." Wei Liao asked with a smile.
"My suggestion is to give the order quickly and let Huan Jue run, run faster." Gu Xun said his suggestion seriously.
……
……
There was silence in the court, but the first thought that flashed through everyone's mind was absurd. After that, they all looked at Gu Xun, their eyes not very kind.
The Qin State was founded on the military merit system, so how could there be any reason to flee without fighting?
If there is a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides and it is a losing battle, then so be it. Avoiding the enemy's sharp edge is also the philosophy of military strategists, but with the 100,000 elite soldiers under Huanjue's command, there is no reason to escape directly.
In their opinion, Gu Xun was obviously making a fool of himself and humiliating the face of Qin.
Ying Zheng still sat on the throne without saying a word, but Wei Liao's mentality was relatively balanced, and he argued with Gu Xun with a normal expression:
"The words of the Imperial Master are too depressing."
"Huan Jue is a veteran general of our Qin Kingdom. He is proficient in the art of war, and his generals are also brave. Li Mu...I know he can do something extraordinary, but he led his army to run thousands of miles, and his men and horses were exhausted. However, Huan Jue's army could wait for work.
Even if we can't win this battle, we won't have to run away like the National Master said."
Xiong Qi also came to join in the fun at this time, and added with a smile, "Haha, I know that the Imperial Advisor may have seen Li Mu use troops in the north, but the Imperial Advisor is not familiar with the art of war, Li Muqiang, and Huan Jue are not bad either." "It's not like this, it's not like this."
Gu Xun glanced at Wei Liao, then at Xiong Qi, and replied expressionlessly, "Anyway...according to what I want, that is to ask Huan Jue to withdraw his troops quickly. If he really wants to fight this battle, he has to replace Wang Jian."
Go ahead, maybe you can get a fight."
"It is even more undesirable to change generals on the spot for no reason..." Wei Liao shook his head, not knowing what to say.
He knew in his heart that Huan Jue was by no means Li Mu's opponent, but he did not think that Huan Jue would be defeated. What was remarkable was that the momentum of the attack was temporarily blocked by Li Mu. He waited until Wang Jian had temporarily stabilized the occupied city and joined Huan Jue.
After that, we will be able to suppress Li Mu.
At this point, he has seen it quite clearly. Other people in the court, including Ying Zheng, at most think this way. Quite a few people still hope that Huanjuan can defeat Li Mu and destroy the Zhao Kingdom in one fell swoop.<
/p>
Wei Liao had nothing to say, and Gu Xun had nothing to say. He didn't understand military affairs, didn't understand the art of war, and couldn't analyze Chou Yin Mao. He could only talk in vain, and he didn't expect anyone to believe him.
Only Han Fei's eyes flashed with a glint.
He is different from others in that he is willing to believe in Gu Xun, and if Huan Yan is really defeated by Li Mu, then he will have something to say about Korea...
At this time, Ying Zheng spoke, "What the Imperial Master said is reasonable. The Korean matter... there is no need to rush it for now, let's discuss it later."
"If there are no other important matters, let's disperse the court today. Well... the Imperial Master will stay."
The etiquette and laws of the pre-Qin Dynasty were strict and strict, loose and loose, mainly for non-important occasions. However, this court meeting was not yet considered an important occasion.
Following Ying Zheng's order, the Korean matter was put down for the time being, and the civil and military ministers dispersed. Only Gu Xun was led by Zhao Gao to the study.
Zhao Gao deliberately controlled his speed on the road, and Gu Xun had nothing urgent to do, so he walked slowly along with him. When they arrived at the place, Ying Zheng had already changed out of his royal Mianqi uniform and put on his plain robe.
The monarch and his ministers each sat down, and Zhao Gao was waiting beside Ying Zheng with his hands behind his hands. Gu Xun first asked, "What does your Majesty want to do with me?"
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, "King Qi will not be in peace during his return trip. The Imperial Master should also understand, right?"
"Understood." Gu Xun nodded, "So your Majesty hopes..."
"I hope you can personally send King Qi to leave the country safely." Ying Zheng stated his request.
As Han Fei analyzed before, at present, the simplest and most direct way for Ying Zheng to ensure that Qi Wangjian returns home safely is to send Gu Xun there.
However, he waited for Qi Wangjian and others to leave Xianyang before looking for Gu Xun. He must have planned to let him protect him secretly, so there was no need to find any suitable excuse.
"Your Majesty should know that since those people are ready to attack King Qi in the Qin Kingdom, I, the unstable factor, will definitely be included in their calculations." Gu Xun half-closed his eyes and replied calmly, "In order to ensure safety
, I’m afraid I can’t leave Xianyang at will.”
Being rejected so directly by Gu Xun, Ying Zheng did not show any annoyance and responded as usual:
"This is Xianyang, the capital of our great Qin Kingdom. What should the Imperial Master have to worry about?"
"I know..." Gu Xun nodded, seeming to agree with Ying Zheng's statement, but his tone suddenly changed, "But, just because nothing can happen here, I can't leave."
"I'm afraid of taking everything for granted."
After being rejected again, Ying Zheng's expression remained as usual, "But no one can imagine what will happen to Xianyang?"
"I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I've probably thought of something." Faced with Ying Zheng's question, Gu Xun squinted his eyes and murmured.
"Huh?" Ying Zheng lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Xun, seeming to have thought of something, "So... what does the Imperial Master mean?"
"I don't ask for anything, but this is what Your Majesty should do. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me." Gu Xun stated the conditions.
Ying Zheng asked and didn't ask anything. He nodded directly and said, "That's the case, then I won't make it difficult for the national master to do his job."
