The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 733 Li Xin's eyelids are twitching [Subscribe*Monthly ticket requested]

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Wei Liaozi and others hurriedly spoke up to dissuade him.

Leading an army of 200,000 is no joke.

Although Li Xin did a good job in the Northern Army, the Northern Army only had tens of thousands of people. How could it be compared with the reorganized army of 200,000?

In other words, even with such a large-scale army, Li Xin might not have been exposed to some types of troops and positions of soldiers. Not to mention fighting, just marching might cause big problems.

Wei Liaozi and others spoke up to explain the facts one by one.

Ying Zheng was also somewhat shaken. The Qin State was full of talented generals, and there had never been a gap in their ranks. The fundamental reason for this was that the old could lead the new.

Bai Qi led Ying Biao, Wang Xi, Meng Ao and others, then Meng Ao led Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe and others, and now it is Wang Jian and Meng Wu leading Wang Ben, Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin, Qiang Wei and others.

Well, Bingzhou showed up as a troublemaker and abducted Meng Tian and Meng Yi. Then, when Wei was destroyed this time, Li Xin conducted military exercises with Bingzhou troops in Beidi County, and thus lost the opportunity to learn how to command a large army from Wang Jian.

If it were according to normal history, when Qin conquered the six kingdoms, Li Xin, like Wang Ben, would have served as Wang Jian's deputy general and assistant general to conquer Zhao and Wei. Only then would Ying Zheng dare to safely entrust the task of conquering Chu to Li Xin.

Now Li Xin had only briefly followed Wang Jian to destroy Zhao, so his experience might not be sufficient.

Then a figure suddenly flashed through Ying Zheng's mind. It seemed that he could provide logistical support to Li Xin and help Li Xin command and dispatch the army. All Li Xin needed to do was to use his keen sense of the battle situation.

"What is Lord Changping doing?" Ying Zheng asked slowly.

When the Queen Mother Huayang was still alive, Changping Jun was the second most powerful person in Qin after Lu Buwei, and was even the only candidate to succeed Lu Buwei. He also had a complete team and retainers who were enough to form a large military headquarter.

It seems that it is not impossible to let Changping Jun assist Li Xin.

The most important thing is that Ying Zheng respected the Queen Mother Huayang very much, so out of love for her, he wanted to give Changping Jun another chance!
Wei Liaozi, Wei Zhuang and Wang Wan all had a bad premonition. If Changping Jun was reinstated, the people who would pose the greatest threat would undoubtedly be Wei Zhuang and Wang Wan, the left and right prime ministers.

The most important thing is that Changping Jun is Ying Zheng’s cousin and the uncle of the eldest prince Fusu!
In the Qin State, one of the two prime ministers and the state commander must be a relative of the royal family. Under normal circumstances, Changping Jun would have succeeded Lu Buwei, and it would not have been Wei Zhuang's turn to be the right prime minister. However, because of the case of the Queen Mother Huayang, Changping Jun was implicated and was neglected and put aside.

Now Ying Zheng finally remembered his unfortunate cousin Changping Jun.

And Wei Zhuang was indeed old, and was supposed to retire from his position as the head of the Nine Ministers of Fengchang Order. However, because of the case of Empress Dowager Huayang, he was forced to take the position as the tallest among the short men.

Once Changping Jun was reinstated, as long as the war to destroy Chu was over, Wei Zhuang would naturally retire and make way for Changping Jun.

When Li Xin heard the name Changping Jun, his eyelids twitched.

Others are not clear about the details of the Empress Dowager Huayang case, or they pretend not to know. But he was the fuse.

In particular, he secretly ordered his deputy general Qiang Wei to report the Chu faction's secret plan to seize the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry.

Once something like this is done, it is impossible to completely erase the traces. With Changping Jun's power at the time, he might not have known at first that it was him who stabbed him in the back, but after so many years, if Changping Jun was not stupid, he should have been able to guess that it was him who did it.

"Damn it, it's over!" Li Xin didn't believe that Changping Jun would truly assist him and would definitely stab him in the back at the critical moment.

Li Yao also knew his son's worries, but he knew even more clearly that because of his guilt towards Queen Mother Huayang, Ying Zheng would definitely make up for his debt to Changping Jun. The most important thing was that Li Yao knew very well that in the current situation of Qin, the power of the royal family had been divided too much, and Ying Zheng would definitely find a way to take back the power to the royal family.

What's more, they really couldn't find anyone more suitable than Changping Jun to assist Li Xin.

"Who else?" Li Yao and Li Xin, father and son, looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty, do you think it is easier to defeat and annihilate 200,000 troops with 30,000 troops, or to command 200,000 troops?" However, just when Li Xin and Li Yao, father and son, were still worried, a heavenly voice came.

Li Xin and Li Yao instantly turned their heads to look at the young man who was sitting behind Ying Zheng and serving as a secretary.

"Yes, it's not like there's no one who can replace Changping Jun!" Li Yao and Li Xin finally reacted. How could they have forgotten about this person!

Ying Zheng was also stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at Meng Yi behind him.

He transferred Meng Yi back from Bingzhou to serve as his secretary and the Great Qin Archives Envoy, so that he could better learn the various methods of change and military reforms in Bingzhou and become his staff advisor.

Wei Liaozi, Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang and others also understood that no one wanted to give up the power in their hands. Under normal circumstances, they naturally belonged to different political groups and would restrain and attack each other, but now Ying Zheng wanted to take power back into the hands of the royal family, so their political enemies were the same.

"Of course it is more difficult for 30,000 to completely annihilate 200,000!" Wei Zhuang answered immediately.

Ying Zheng also nodded slightly. He wanted to re-employ Changping Jun on a whim. In fact, he was a little worried in his heart. What if Changping Jun really leaned towards the State of Chu and hindered Li Xin? That would be the life and death of the 200,000-strong army.

What's more, Li Xin and Changping Jun had a grudge against each other.

Originally, he thought of Changping Jun because he couldn't find anyone, but now seeing Meng Yi, he suddenly thought that Meng Yi seemed to be more suitable than Changping Jun.

After all, although Changping Jun had many followers, he had never really been on the battlefield. Meng Yi was different. He had always served as Meng Tian's deputy general in Bingzhou. During Bingzhou's Western Expedition, Meng Tian briefly commanded an army of hundreds of thousands.

What's more, Meng Yi also graduated from Bingzhou Gaoquesai Military Academy, and is even now serving as an honorary lecturer at Gaoquesai Military Academy.

Although he is young, he has a lot of experience in major battles.

"My dear, do you have any intention?" Ying Zheng asked Meng Yi with a smile, his attitude was self-evident.

"Although Qin has always wanted to learn Bingzhou's tactics, no matter how much training is done, it still needs to be tested in actual combat. This is why Bingzhou soldiers are so brave and powerful."

"The Bingzhou Blood Knights never proactively assign followers to knights. All followers are captured by the knights themselves during the graduation assessment!"

Meng Yi said this and then looked at Li Xin with a smile. Li Xin should be very clear about this.

After all, most of the followers of Bingzhou Blood Cavalry were picked up from the Qiang territory of Qiang Wei under Li Xin.

Although Li Xin felt ashamed, he had to admit that this was the fact. Jincheng and Wuwei were almost becoming the supply bases for the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry's followers.

"That's right!" Li Xin answered with a stiff face and explained the origin of the Bingzhou Blood Cavalry's entourage.
