Chapter 47 Zulong is furious! Qin Feng, why are you so sharp today?
The two prime ministers couldn't help but look at each other. They had strong objections to the king calling Qin Feng over.
How could a young boy with the title of doctor participate in such a major military event?
If word spreads, it will only make other countries laugh!
The two of them are officials who work both ways and do not get involved in either side.
He is neither a nobleman of the old Qin Dynasty nor a guest of the Six Nations.
The reason why he can hold the position of prime minister depends on his ability and integrity.
The Right Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Wan, a well-known good old man, could not help but say:
"There is no need to be so cruel. I, the Qin Dynasty, will carry out the conquest according to the fate of heaven. I should protect the safety of the people and cannot do violent things!"
Qin Feng said bitterly:
"The King of Chu has such a slim waist that all the people in the palace starve to death!"
Is it okay for such an unscrupulous person not to be a little more violent towards him?"
Meng Wu coughed and kindly reminded:
"That's King Chu Ling, he's been dead for many years."
Qin Feng scratched his head awkwardly:
"I misremembered, sorry."
[It’s over! I suffered the loss of being uneducated!]
[No, it seems that pretending to be violent won’t work anymore, I have to think of another excuse!]
Originally, he thought it was quite good. As long as he pretended that he had a deep hatred for Chu State, Ying Zheng would not dare to send him!
Otherwise, big trouble will be caused and it will be detrimental to stability!
Ying Zheng was somewhat immune to Qin Feng's performance, and he said calmly:
"A few days ago, General Wang Ben attacked Chu and captured more than ten cities.
The soldiers and people of the Chu State have put up little resistance, and I think that the Chu State has lost its power. Now we want to attack Chu in a big way. How many troops do you think we should use?"
For a moment, everyone became serious.
In the main hall, there was silence for a long time. Wang Wan, as the leader of the officials, was the first to speak:
"Wei Chen thinks that an army of 200,000 is enough."
"How do you say this, Ai Qing?"
"First, the state of Chu was in decline. The King of Chu borrowed the power of the Xiang family to kill King Ai of Chu. The name was unfair and the words were unjust! He was alienated internally and externally!
Secondly, the Chu State has suffered many defeats in recent years. The army has no fighting spirit, its combat power is getting worse and worse, and it is vulnerable to a single blow!
Thirdly, the Qin Dynasty has been conquering for many years. It would be best if they could recuperate. If they are eager to unify, an army of 200,000 is the limit!"
Wang Wan's analysis made everyone couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Even Li Si and Meng Wu couldn't find anything wrong with them.
Ying Zheng was also very satisfied with Wang Wan's answer.
He looked at the others and asked calmly:
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
"I second the proposal!"
Li Si stood up and said:
"What Prime Minister You said is absolutely true. Firstly, the state of Chu is too weak to be vulnerable to a single blow. Secondly, we, the Qin Dynasty, cannot support more military expenditures.
Two hundred thousand troops are enough!"
Ying Zheng nodded slowly, but among the crowd, there was one person who did not move or speak, which made him stand out so much.
He couldn't help but ask:
"Qin Feng, why are you silent?"
Qin Feng said reluctantly:
"My lords have said very well, but I have nothing to say."
"I want you to express your opinion."
"Wei Chen has no objection."
Ying Zheng's stubborn temper also rose, and he continued to ask:
"I ask you how many troops you will send!"
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said:
"It must be six hundred thousand!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
An army of 600,000? Are you crazy!? In the Battle of Changping, we only had these troops!
And this battle wiped out the savings of three generations and greatly damaged the vitality of the Qin Dynasty! It has not recovered for decades!
Qin Feng sighed secretly, if it was when he first came, Ying Zheng would send as many people as he wanted.
What does it matter if you lose? You just have to start over from the beginning.
Does it have something to do with you? Does it affect your eating? Does it affect your dating of girls?
No! He, Qin Feng, will still become a nobleman of the empire! He will still live a prosperous life!
The Qin Dynasty will not decline because of this, but Ying Zheng will learn from the pain and ask Wang Jian to come out of the mountain, and the 600,000 troops will continue to attack Chu!
The Qin Dynasty will eventually unify the world! Ying Zheng will also become the emperor of the ages! Become the Qin Shihuang who has no one before or since!
Everything seems to be beautiful, except for those soldiers who died in battle...
"The Chu people followed suit and stayed there for three days and three nights. They defeated Li Xin. They entered the two walls and killed seven captains. Li Xin rushed back!"
Seventh Captain! Seventy thousand Guanzhong disciples were buried in Chu Di like this!
Qin Feng has been in Da Qin for more than a year, and he found that Qin people are so simple and contented.
A hundred years ago, when the Qin State was attacked by the powerful Wei State and almost destroyed the country, the old Qin people shouted, "Join the old Qin, and we will fight against the national calamity together!"
Success after succession, father's death and son's succession, saved this suffering country!
When the Qin Dynasty was strong and prosperous, and the great cause of unification began, the people of the old Qin Dynasty shouted, "How can I say that I have no clothes and the same robe as my son? The king raised an army to repair my spear," and embarked on a long journey.
They endure hardships and stand hard work, and have almost all the beautiful qualities of the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties!
They don't deserve to die in this meaningless defeat!
Meng Wu saw that something was wrong with Ying Zheng's face and whispered:
"Qin Feng, don't talk nonsense!
If you feel unwell, just tell the king to go down and rest!"
Ying Zheng's voice became colder and colder:
"Qin Feng, what did you say?"
Qin Feng thought of those hardworking Guanzhong people in Shanglin Garden.
I thought about those old men talking proudly about their sons who joined the army, and how they could work hard all day without complaining for a palm-sized millet.
Should their children die?
No!
Qin Feng's face became firmer. He suddenly raised his head, looked at Ying Zheng, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty! The battle against Chu requires 600,000 troops!"
Ying Zheng exhaled a long breath and said in a deep voice:
"Why? Give me a reason!"
"Because the people of Chu have a profound heritage! Although Chu was in civil strife, and the Chu army usurped the throne, and the Chu army had no fighting spirit, in ordinary times at that time!
Once faced with the danger of national subjugation, we must unite as one and unite!"
Li Si couldn't help but stand up and scolded:
"Bold Qin Feng! What do you mean, the two hundred thousand Qin tiger warriors can't defeat the rabble of the Chu army?"
Qin Feng looked back unceremoniously:
"Can't beat it!"
Prime Minister Zuo Huaixiang couldn't help but said:
"Qin Feng, if you go by what you said and 600,000 troops attack Chu, where will the food and grass come from?
Is it possible that there will be another Changping War? Will the savings of generations of people in Qin be wiped out?"
Qin Feng gritted his teeth and insisted:
"That's better than ignoring the two hundred thousand troops! These are the two hundred thousand Guanzhong disciples!"
Meng Wu frowned. He never thought that Qin Feng, who usually kept a low profile and kept hiding his weakness, now showed his sharpness.
Like a sharp sword, it stabs people until it hurts!
"Qin Feng, please stop saying a few words and don't be rude to your Lordships."
Qin Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying:
"Qin Feng has no intention of offending you, but the attack on Chuzi is a big deal. How can you say it is so easy?"
"Qin Feng! You've had enough!"
Ying Zheng couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly.
When Zulong was angry, everyone immediately trembled in fear, bowing and not daring to speak.
Only Qin Feng did not shy away, standing there and accepting the baptism of anger!
