After talking about Chu and Wei, his eyes returned to Qin.
The Qin State naturally received such a big news about the Chu State sending troops. However, this time the response speed of the Qin State Court was a bit slow, because there were different voices in the court regarding whether to rescue the Wei State.
"Your Majesty, the King of Wei sent Dun Rui to ask for help. This is a God-given opportunity. At this moment, it is just right for us to send troops to rescue the Wei State. It is also just in time to clean up the Chu State, lest the Chu King Xiong Han get some advantage by luck, and really think that he can
Confront me, Great Qin."
Li Xin, who had just been promoted to general, was naturally overjoyed about this kind of thing. He was the first to shout out in the court and was gearing up to fight with Chu.
Ying Zheng is very fond of young and brilliant generals like Li Xin. Among the younger generation of generals, Meng Tian and Li Xin are the ones who get the most attention. As for Wang Jian's grandson Wang Li, he currently thinks of him as
Still far behind the top two.
Ying Zheng smiled at the active young general and said half-jokingly: "Haha, Li Xin, if Xiong Han really dares to claim that his country of Chu is stronger than our country of Qin, I will send you to kill him immediately. Let's do that.
He knows that some things should not be said carelessly.
However, in war, we must first consider the current situation of the world and cannot rely solely on blood and courage. Please step aside for the time being and listen to what the ministers have to say before we discuss sending troops."
"Uh~"
Li Xin secretly took a look at the current situation. The bearded men in the court frowned. It seemed that this matter was not simply about sending troops to fight against Chu...
"promise."
He decisively lowered his head and retreated to the queue of his generals. The equally young general standing in front of him was none other than Meng Tian.
Lu Yan, as a national counselor and a national captain, stood at the front of the hall. The rest of Changping Lord Xiong Qi, left and right prime ministers Wei Zhuang Wang Wan, Xianyang Neishi Mengwu and other central officials were all listed in sequence.
Liao had boasted in front of his teammates before, swearing that it was easy for him to be reused by the King of Qin, and that he could easily get the position of Qin Guo Wei. Then the same day he was told that Lu Yan was appointed as the Guo Wei by Ying Zheng, and he seemed to have turned into a clown.
, I have been holding back my anger for so many days.
Now that someone from the Wei State came to ask for help, it was time for him to show off his talent and let the Qin court see his resourcefulness.
Therefore, Liao, who was in the queue of guest guests, was the first to squeeze out and handed over to Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, what General Li Xin said is exactly what our Qin army wants. The Chu State was greedy and destroyed the country of Zuo without permission.
The State of Wei took the initiative to ask for help from me. This is a great opportunity to weaken the State of Chu and establish the prestige of the State of Qin in the world. I will immediately send troops to rescue the State of Wei and cripple the elite troops of the State of Chu in one battle, leaving them unable to do anything for ten years.
If we regain our strength, our Great Qin will have no rivals among all the countries in the world."
There were many guests in the Qin court, and Liao, who had just entered the ranks of guest guests, was no different from other guests. The King of Qin welcomed him into the palace, and called him the pillar of the Qin Kingdom alongside Lu Yan. This fact was not noticed.
The news spread. Therefore, Liao is now inconspicuous among the guests.
When he squeezed out his words, most people in the court reacted subconsciously.
Who is this person?
Oh, a new guest, Liao.
What should I pay attention to?
have no idea……
Liao gave everyone in Qin's court time to react, and was about to state his plan when he was suddenly overtaken by someone.
"What your lord guest said is reasonable."
Hearing only a steady compliment, Li Si took two steps, walked out to be parallel to Liao, looked at him politely, and then raised his hand, "Since the time of King Zhao, the Changping War has severely defeated Zhao.
Go on, the fire of Zhao's growth has been extinguished by our great Qin. It can be seen that now Zhao Wangyan has conquered a large area of Yan's land, but there are ten houses and nine empty houses. Zhao still cannot get rid of the situation of vast land, sparse people and insufficient grain production. Zhao
Although the country has a strong military, it has actually been eliminated from the chessboard for world hegemony. The only opponent of our Qin Dynasty to dominate the world is the Chu State.
Xiong Han, the King of Chu, has been arrogant and arrogant since he destroyed Korea. What did he believe in the rise of Chu? The overlord made ridiculous rumors and actually generously rewarded Korean lands to clans. Now he wants to destroy Wei again, which has aroused resistance from other countries.
He rewarded the benefits to the clan, and the clan grew stronger but the king did not rise much. This was his own destruction. The destruction of the Wei Kingdom must have been because he could no longer suppress the clan power in the country, so he made this stupid move.
At this time, the state of Chu seems to be powerful, but it is riddled with holes internally. We, the Qin Dynasty, sent out troops to attack it, and won without defeat. We obeyed the will of heaven and the hearts of the people. How could we, the Qin Dynasty, miss such a battle?"
Li Si's mouth was like a Gatling machine. He spit out almost everything he wanted to say in his heart.
In desperation, Liao could only echo next to Li Si, "What Mr. Tingwei said is exactly what Liao wants. This time the Wei State asks for help, giving me the opportunity to send troops to Qin in an honest way. I really can't miss this good opportunity to weaken Chu."
"Well, Sir Keqing and Lord Tingwei are right. It just so happens that the King of Chu is a little too arrogant. The Tenglong Army, the Shadow Tiger Army, and the Thunder Leopard Army are all famous. I want to see how they can be seen in front of my great Qin warriors.
, how long can he resist!"
"Yes, the general is right. The names of the Chu army's teams are very beautiful. I don't know what their combat effectiveness is."
"Your Majesty, let me, the elite warriors of the Great Qin State, go into battle and let those flashy legions of the Chu Army know what it means to be truly elite."
When the generals of the Qin State knew that a war was about to be fought, most of them were very excited because they had another opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
They all stepped forward and agreed to send troops to attack the Chu State. They all patted their chests and promised that they would make the Chu army look good to them.
Li Xin stood in the queue and felt aggrieved. The king told him that he wanted to fight, saying that he would wait until the ministers finished speaking before discussing the dispatch of troops.
But in the current situation, isn’t it just a matter of seizing the opportunity to lead the troops?! What’s the difference when talking to yourself? How angry~
Meng Tian, who was standing in front of him, had his chest rising and falling a bit, and his frown showed that he was very uneasy inside.
Because his golden fire cavalry was used as bait by his father Meng Wu, the relationship between Meng Tian and his father fell to the freezing point. The two have not communicated for a long time, and they have not even looked at each other.
Meng Tian also judged that this was a good opportunity to attack Chu, but he was very puzzled as to why his father did not speak. Also, General Wang Jian and General Duan He have not expressed their stance for the time being.
"Your Majesty, I think that attacking Chu at this time is not a good opportunity for war."
Meng Tian was filled with doubts, when someone happened to interrupt the lively atmosphere in the hall.
Lu Yan knew from the beginning that it would be difficult to persuade these courtiers in the Qin court to give up this great opportunity to attack Chu.
He simply poured cold water on this heated atmosphere.
"Master National Preceptor?"
"Master Imperial Master?!"
The generals were in disbelief. Everyone knew about Lu Yan's resourcefulness and foresight. The military strategist's work "Thirty-Six Strategies" has also been read by many people.
But how is it possible to oppose the attack on Chu at this time? It seems that attacking Chu at this time is greatly beneficial to Qin.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Advisor is right. At present, our Qin State's 200,000 civilians are investing in the canal, and all material supplies are given priority to construction. Moreover, our Qin State has not yet recovered from the loss of 150,000 elite troops.
Starting a war at this time will do more harm than good."
Um?
Before Lu Yan could start to reason properly, Wang Wan, one of the two prime ministers, stood up and gave a reason why he could not use troops for the time being.
Liao first stood behind and glanced at Wang Wan, then walked out to Wang Wan and saluted, "Your Majesty Prime Minister, our Qin country suffered a lot of losses, and so did his Chu country. The Shadow Tiger Army was directly defeated by 70,000 people in Xinzheng.
The Tenglong Army was even more ridiculous. Xiang Yan's mighty Zhuguo was killed by a gang of peasants and wasted half, and had to retreat.
It was under such circumstances that the King of Chu sent troops to destroy Wei, which shows how corrupt the situation in his country was. He, the State of Chu, was able to mobilize so many troops, and our state of Qin was even more powerful than the State of Chu. Even with the Great Canal Project
The Chu army should not be afraid of the encumbrances of the Chu army."
"That's right, Jiujiu Lao Qin, are you still afraid of him, the fisherman of Jingchu?!"
"That's right."
…
Wang Wan originally didn't take the issue of sending troops too seriously. In his eyes, this matter of pros and cons was ultimately left to the king to decide. Now that he stands up to speak, he is just talking about the problems faced by the Qin State.
.By the way, I also spoke for Lu Yan.
Originally, Wang Wan's mentality was quite Buddhist, but Liao finally said with a gun and a stick that Wang Wan was afraid of the Chu State, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? When did I become afraid of the Chu army?"
Wang Wan threw off her long sleeves, squinted her eyes, and then said to the King of Qin, "Your Majesty, my Qin is superior to Chu in terms of national strength and the fighting spirit of its soldiers.
But for the long-term plan of our country, Qin, it is better to try our best to repair the canal as soon as possible without any further delay. The work has been stopped once, and if there is another delay this time, what will happen to our Qin's orders? Orders are changed day and night, and we are dragging our feet.
This is a great disservice to the state. I hope your Majesty will understand clearly."
Liao quickly raised his hands upwards, "Your Majesty, for the long-term plan of our Great Qin, we should take this opportunity to fight against the weak Chu. At this time, the Chu State must also think that we are fully investing in the canal and have no intention of fighting. Our Great Qin
With mental arithmetic but no intention, you can directly lay the foundation for the future emperor of Qin!"
Ying Zheng listened calmly and turned his head to Lu Yan, "Master, you don't agree with the attack on Chu. I want to hear your reasons."
As he said that, he looked at the old generals who had been silent and asked half-jokingly: "Are the old generals unable to shame themselves and try to take credit from their juniors? Should we attack Chu or not? It's time to speak freely. Dear gentlemen,
If you have a strategy in your heart, don't hide it."
Lu Yan quickly organized the thoughts in his mind, stood up and began to state his reasons for opposing the war.
"Everyone, the Wei State at this time is like a person who is about to drown. No matter where a life-saving straw is stretched out, no matter where there is a glimmer of life, he will be crazy to seize it. In addition to asking our Qin State, the Wei State
Asking for help, envoys from various countries must also go there, but the news is transmitted much slower than our Qin country.
Once the war against Chu begins, it will no longer be a war between Qin and Chu, but a large-scale war sweeping all the vassal states. Just like the Puyang War not long ago, all the forces in the world are either passive or active
, will all be mixed in."
"Master, what you said makes me a little confused. The Chu State is cruel and unethical, and its perverse actions have caused complaints from all countries in the world. The Wei State has also sent envoys to ask for help from all countries. Isn't this the fate of the Chu State? He said that
How can the power of one country stand up to the whole world? We, the Qin Dynasty, seize the opportunity to defeat it in one fell swoop and completely establish our empire as the Qin Dynasty. It is a matter of course and logical, so why not?"
Since Liao decided to arm-wrestle with Lu Yan in the court, he naturally wouldn't give in.
From his perspective, sending troops to the Chu State at this moment was basically beneficial and harmless. Ying Zheng, the young hero of the Qin State, had no reason to refuse.
What's more, there are still a lot of people in the Qin army waiting for meritorious service and promotion. Lu Yan is simply digging his own grave by preventing a must-win war at this time.
Therefore, although Liao is not yet qualified enough to compete with Lu Yan, he now has the confidence to confront Lu Yan tit for tat.
Lu Yan still maintained his demeanor and spoke to Liao in a nice voice: "The key to what Yan said is that the Wei State asked other countries for help. Naturally, the kings of the other countries would not like a King of Chu who went everywhere to directly destroy people.
, this request for help was sent everywhere, and all countries must have the intention to send troops to attack Chu. However, since Chu is indeed very powerful, Yan and Qi should not dare to directly oppose Chu.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Yan, the leader of Zhao State at this time, has a keen sense of smell. When our army attacked Yuan Pu Yan earlier, he deliberately sent generals to stop it. Unfortunately, he was supported by Yan State in the end.
. He will definitely not let the Chu State destroy the Wei State, causing him to be directly bordered by my country, the Qin State, and the Chu State. And Zhao State alone cannot guarantee that it can defeat the Chu State. So once these letters asking for help came out, you think Zhao Yan
What will be done?”
Someone followed Lu Yan's words and continued, "Zhao Yanhui will immediately seize the opportunity and call on all countries to unite. King Yan of Yan State has no ability, and the country is in dire straits, so he should not be qualified to participate in the war against Chu.
With the Zhao army as the main force and Qi providing military supplies, the Zhao army defeated the Chu army in nine out of ten cases.
Sir, if the Qin State did not intervene, the Zhao army would have defeated the Chu army, and the Wei State would have been able to guarantee that it would not be destroyed by the Chu State."
Lu Yan nodded and responded with a smile, "Yes, the Zhao army and the Chu army are fighting in Wei. Such a war consumes Zhao and Chu, the two countries that are the most threatening to our Qin State. We, the Qin State, do not have to exert any effort.
Why not do it?"
"Master Imperial Advisor, I disagree with this statement. If our army takes the initiative to attack, it will completely destroy the hope of Chu State and our Great Qin to compete for world hegemony. How to choose between sitting back and watching Chu State consume, or destroying Chu State's hope?
, self-explanatory.”
Liao's counterattack was equally sharp, and he followed closely with his reply, without any gaps between their words.
Everyone in the Qin court was a little confused. Who was this Ke Qingliao? He just appeared and was able to talk to Lu Yan directly. The king watched with great interest.
Everyone is eagerly waiting to see who of the two can convince whom.
