Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 174 Attack ([-])

Zhao Guodai County
In order to defend against the Huns in the north, Qin, Zhao, Yan and the Three Kingdoms built a lengthy city wall.And Zhao Guo, as one of the main attack directions of the Xiongnu, naturally has a tall and thick city.

And behind the tall Great Wall, there are more than [-] generations of soldiers led by Li Mu, the pillar of Zhao Guo.

"General, Handan sent an envoy..." Behind Li Mu, a soldier bowed his hands and said.

Li Mu waved his hand, put a piece of freshly cooked beef into his mouth, and said, "Bring it here."

"only!"

After a while, the soldier led a man in military uniform to Li Mu.

"The last general, Le Ren, pay homage to the general!" Le Ren saluted Li Mu.

Li Mu frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Your envoy is very polite."

Le Ren didn't care about Li Mu's seemingly random behavior. Instead, he said to Li Mu more respectfully: "General, it's summer now, the water and grass are lush, and the Huns in the north are busy grazing. Your Majesty ordered you to send troops immediately!" "

"Soldiers sent to Dukang?" Li Mu chuckled lightly, shook his head, and said, "Dukang is an important town in the Yan Kingdom. With my few soldiers, it is impossible to do it."

"This is the king's order, the rest, the general will not know..." Le Ren replied calmly, still looking lifeless.

Li Mu couldn't help but look at Le Ren twice more, and continued to ask: "Your Majesty, you are not afraid. If you send troops to Yan, you will be threatened by Qin in the west?"

"Back to the general, before the end of the future, the king of Qin sent envoys. The king Xu Qin sent five cities in Hejian to promote the alliance!"

"Hejian Five Cities!" Li Mu suddenly stood up in shock.

"That's the rich land of our country Zhao, how could your majesty grant all the five cities of Hejian to Qin country!" Li Mu's tone was tinged with anger.

"I don't know the end..."

"The Qin State has just stopped fighting, and the country has used more than 30 troops. At this time, there must be a shortage of food and grass. It is impossible to go out to fight before the autumn harvest in October! Your Majesty, you have given Qin the entire Hejian for nothing!"

Li Mu walked back and forth on the seat, walking non-stop, his tone full of anger towards King Zhao.There is quite a bit of anger and indisputable meaning.

"That's all! If that's the case, we can only take the loss of my Zhao country from Yan country..." Li Mu sat down again, and a battle intent gradually appeared in his tiger eyes.

……

Qin Palace

Above the main hall, civil and military officials are listed on the left and right.

"Pass, Gan Luo!"

As Zhao Gao's slender voice fell, a small figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the main hall.

"Chen, Gan Luo, fortunately, he did not disgrace his life, and returned with the five cities of Hejian in Zhao State!" Gan Luo said to Ying Zheng in the hall, cupping his hands.

Above the main hall, there was silence, and all the civil and military officials just stared at this 12-year-old child carefully. It can be seen that they had already heard the news.

Ying Zheng was expressionless, but he smiled inwardly.

"It seems that this kid's ability has not changed. However, he can get five Hejian cities in exchange for a piece of paper. It's really a good deal!"

"Aiqing has done a lot of hard work this time, and you can ask me for any reward you want!" Ying Zheng, who was sitting high in the hall, said.

"I'm still young, so I don't dare to have unreasonable thoughts, but I don't dare to resign from the king's gift!" Gan Luo showed a smile on his mouth, and said obediently.

"Oh? Aiqing, do you really mean that?" Ying Zheng's words were majestic, but there was a hint of teasing in his tone.

Gan Luo's heart skipped a beat, "Your Majesty won't go back on what you say, right? He promised me the position of Shangqing!"

"Uh...Of course, the more rewards the king can give, the better, preferably Shangqing or something..." Gan Luo secretly reminded Ying Zhengdao that he was really afraid that Ying Zheng would forget about Shangqing.

"Hahaha……"

Gan Luo's philistine words made all the officials laugh.Most of these smiles are friendly.

However, just after these laughters, a discordant voice suddenly came.

"Little Huangkou, what status is my Daqin Shangqing, and you can ask for it if you want it?" Sima Jun on the right opened his mouth and scolded.

The whole court was also stunned, and looked at Sima Jun in a daze, not knowing what he meant.

Although Gan Luo is only 12 years old now, he is indeed just a yellow-mouthed child in front of them, but his talent has also been fully displayed.

Everyone really couldn't understand why Sima Jun would take the risk of completely offending a future star by saying such words.

In fact, this was also Sima Jun's consideration.

Gan Luo's envoy to Zhao was a power directly conferred by Ying Zheng, and he had not even been discussed in the court.

Sima Jun knew in his heart that with Ying Zheng's character, if he didn't trust a person, he would never grant him great power.In this way, it can be seen that this talented young man has already won the trust of Ying Zheng.

But now above the court, only the Qin clan dominates, and sooner or later there will be friction with King Qin.

Instead of watching King Qin's wings become fuller, it is better to cut out the wings that have not yet sprouted as soon as possible.

"Oh? It seems that Master Sima is a little bit dissatisfied with you..." Ying Zheng's words sounded at the right time, but it sounded like Sima Jun was a little jealous.

"Your Majesty, although Gan Luo's envoy to Zhao has meritorious service, he must not be granted the position of Shangqing! If such a yellow-mouthed boy is really allowed to become my Daqin's Shangqing, wouldn't it make all the countries laugh at my Daqin having no one? "

Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "What Ai Qing said is true, since that's the case, I promise..."

Just when Ying Zheng seemed to be planning to decide on Gan Luo's reward, Gan Luo suddenly spoke up and interrupted Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty! Please let Gan Luo say something!"

"What else can Aiqing Gan say?" There seemed to be a hint of anger in Ying Zheng's words, as if he was dissatisfied with Gan Luo interrupting him.

"Your Majesty, I made a slip of the tongue..." Gan Luo bowed his hands to Ying Zheng first, and then bowed his hands to the civil and military ministers on both sides to express his apology.

"What do you mean by Aiqing?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile in his eyes, looking at Gan Luo.

"The previous words are just the words of the minister's spirit, the king must not take them seriously!"

"Oh? So, what kind of reward does Gan Aiqing think is suitable for you?" Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Back to the king, I, the Great Qin, have conferred titles with military merits for generations. Now, I am an envoy to the State of Zhao, and without spending a single soldier, I plan to come to the five cities of Hejian for the Great Qin. I think that this merit is enough to reach the position of the right minister. Alright..."

Ying Zheng nodded, and replied, "That's right, without spending a single soldier, he won the five cities of Hejian, and his military exploits are enough to win the position of You Shuzhang..."

"Then the king will take the position of the minister and the elder!" Gan Luo said indifferently.

Sima Jun frowned slightly, not quite understanding Gan Luo's intentions.

Judging from Gan Luo's previous words, this young man obviously wanted to get the position of Shangqing.In other words, Ying Zheng had already promised him the position of Shangqing.

But why won't Ying Zheng help him now?Even, he just got the position of a right minister.

The position of the right concubine ranks tenth among the twenty lords of the Great Qin Dynasty, whether it is high or low.In this way, at most, he can be regarded as a deputy minister.

In the eyes of others, such a position is like reaching the sky in one step, but in the eyes of a court veteran like Sima Jun, it has no weight at all.

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to use this to think that I'm weak?" This idea just appeared in Sima Jun's mind, but was dismissed by Sima Jun.

If Yingzheng was really weak, then Lu Buwei would not have died so early.

After thinking about it, Sima Jun still didn't understand Ying Zheng's intention.

"What does Sima Aiqing think?" At this moment, Ying Zheng looked at Sima Jun again and asked.

"I think...it's feasible!" Sima Jun finally nodded and agreed.

"Man, thank you, Master Sima!" Gan Luo grinned, revealing an innocent childish smile.

Beside Ying Zheng, the corner of Zhao Gao's mouth twitched slightly.Only Zhao Gao understood what Gan Luo's smile meant.Well, that's half of his life's savings...
