Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 274
Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng sat on the throne with a dignified expression and deep eyes, without saying a word.

In the hall, Li Si, Wei Liao, Mi Qi and others gathered together.

The depressive and tense atmosphere tensed everyone's heartstrings.

Just now, Li Si proposed to send 20 additional reinforcements to Huanjuan.

As for Meng Tian, ​​an additional [-] will be sent.

Others don't know, but Mi Qi, the prime minister of Daqin, has the same heart as Ming Jing.

If reinforcements are to be sent, food, grass, supplies, etc. must be collected in a very short period of time, which is definitely a huge project.

Ying Zheng also knew that sending additional reinforcements was not a trivial matter and needed careful discussion.

"Wei Liao, what do you think about the defeat of Huan Juan and Li Xin?"

His extremely indifferent voice made the listeners tremble with fear.

Since Great Qindong left Hangu Pass, when did he encounter such a disastrous defeat?
20 troops, a sharp drop of more than [-], that is a living life!
At the beginning, Wei Liao tried his best to guarantee Huan Jue and the others, so if he went to Chu State, he would definitely gain something.

However, a big defeat made everyone's mind clear.

Great Qin is not without enemies on the way to unify the world, and Chu State is just such a powerful opponent.

"Returning to the king, since ancient times, when using troops abroad, victory or defeat is a common occurrence.

Weichen suggested that the original Mengtian tribe withdraw from the Wei State and go south to aid the Huanju tribe. As long as they can hold on for a while, they can gather the supplies needed for the reinforcements. At that time, the Chu State will definitely be wiped out! "

Wei Liao made a deep bow.

Over the years, the only major change in foreign strategy is to postpone the idea of ​​destroying Wei State first, and instead focus on Chu State.

In fact, such a change has a lot to do with the annihilation of Han and Zhao.

After all, when they saw that Zhao and South Korea were destroyed so easily, they naturally underestimated Chu.

So, he fell into such a big somersault.

"Hasn't Champion Hou come yet?"

Ying Zheng asked everyone.

Standing beside him, Zhao Gao bowed his head and said: "My lord, I have already sent out several groups of people to invite Lord Hou. At first, he claimed that he was sick at home, but now, he simply said that he was asleep and didn't want to come." up.

Still talking and talking"

Seeing his stammering appearance, Ying Yuan felt exasperated, and said sharply, "What else?"

"It also said that from the moment he left Zhangtai Palace, the rise and fall of his family and country has nothing to do with him.

From now on, he only wants to be an idle marquis, and he also said that the battle against Chu has already hurt Da Qin's vitality, and from now on, there is no hope of unifying the world."

Zhao Gao said cautiously.

These were indeed Ying Yuan's original words, and he didn't add any embellishments.

However, what he didn't know at all was that Ying Yuan took the initiative to say these words, and his purpose was to let Ying Zheng know that he didn't have any extra thoughts. As for whether he participated in political affairs or not, he didn't care at all. .

Ying Zheng listened to every word, his fists clenched tightly.

He is gnashing his teeth, now he loves and hates Ying Yuan.

"Your Majesty, the words of Champion Hou are really contemptuous. I simply don't take you seriously. I beg you to punish Champion Hou severely!"

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. The reason why the Champion Hou is unwilling to participate in political affairs is because he had some conflicts with you before. Now, the border is in an emergency. Perhaps only Old General Wang Jian and Lord Hou can resolve this matter!"

Li Si and Wei Liao spoke back and forth, their faces were red from arguing.

The former is determined not to want Ying Yuan to participate in political affairs.

It's best not to have it all your life.

As long as I catch an opportunity, I will bite him hard!

He paranoidly believes that it is only a matter of time before Daqin can rule the world without a champion.

However, in Wei Liao's eyes, it was not that simple.

Wang Jian is Ying Yuan's mentor, the latter does not participate in political affairs, even if the former is ordered to lead the army, he probably will not do his best to do things with all his heart.

How vast is the battle for world domination?Relying on Huanjuan alone is not enough.

He is not a commander who can control the overall battle, he can only be a general, at least it seems so now.

"Master Guowei, this Ying Yuan is not rude to the king, and you still want to speak for him? Is it true that Qin Guo will die if he leaves his champion?"

Li Si said coldly.

Before that, his relationship with Wei Liao had been very good.

But in recent days, the two of them have diverged in some points of view, and they are drifting away.

"Chang Shi, if you think fighting is easy, you might as well go to the front line to see for yourself, see those bloody warriors, and see how they shed their blood for their country!
More than [-] soldiers have been sleeping forever in Chudi. Isn't this incident enough to wake us up? "

Wei Liao spoke earnestly.

Li Si said disdainfully: "That's because Huan Jue's army fought alone and it was difficult to defeat the Chu army. In my opinion, Huan Jue can't be blamed for this matter, but that Li Xin is to be blamed.

As the deputy general of the first army, he was ambushed when he led the troops to charge, and he didn't know how to retreat in time, causing heavy losses to the army.The defeat had little to do with General Huanju. "

He knew very well in his heart that Ying Zheng wanted to support Huan Ju, so as long as he followed Huan Ju's words, there would definitely be no problem.

"Since Chang Shi claims to know everything about the front-line war, why don't you take Huanju's place and fight the battle against Chu? What do you think?"

Wei Liao said with a strange air of yin and yang.

Li Si blew his beard and stared: "I will naturally do my part in governing the country. It's just that I understand the matter of marching and fighting, but after all, I haven't participated in wars much, so it's not easy to get involved."

Ying Zheng frowned tightly, watching the two keep arguing in front of his eyes indifferently.

He suddenly realized that if Ying Yuan had been sent to crusade against Chu early in the morning, there might not have been such a problem.

Champion House.

Ying Yuan was sitting in the gazebo, listening to his subordinates constantly reporting on the battle ahead.

When he heard the real reason for Huanju's defeat, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, "You are self-willed, too greedy! This Xiang Yan is a famous general of Chu, how could he be easily defeated by him?"

He was blaming Huanju as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but he didn't know the reason why the poor should not chase after him. He actually played a chasing battle with the enemy in the vast southern mountains and forests. So, it is depressing.

"Master Hou, isn't it time for you to return to politics?"

Suzaku stood aside and asked with concern.

Ying Yuan suddenly got up, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "Returning to the political arena? Not yet! After this defeat, the country will have to recuperate within a few years. Moreover, the king's intention now is to attack Chu. Tell me, it's an impossible thing!"

Within a month after Huanju's defeat, he encountered the frenzied pursuit of the Chu army, resulting in repeated defeats.

Of the 20 troops, only [-] were left in the end, and they were defeated and returned home.

They didn't even have the strength to persist.

In Ying Yuan's eyes, the biggest loss is not those soldiers who will stay in Chu forever, but this defeat, let the world see that Qin is not invincible.

If because of this matter, the subjects of all countries in the world regain self-confidence, then it will definitely block the pace of Qin's unification of the world.

This is something that Ying Yuan and even Qin State, and everyone, do not want to see.

When Huan Yu was defeated and returned home, Li Xin was seriously injured and fell into a long-term coma.

Ying Zhengge took away all the meritorious titles of the two of them, but even if they did, it was still not enough for the people to be angry.

Due to Huanju's defeat, Meng Tian's attack on Wei also returned in vain.

The successive defeats seemed to cast a haze over the sky of Xianyang City.

The sacrifice of 10,000+ people made every family in the city disappear.

Overnight, the entire city of Xianyang turned white.

If Yingzheng had adopted Wei Liao's suggestion when he learned of Huanju's defeat, he might have been able to persist in the battle of Chu for a while, relying on this period of time, he would be able to gather reinforcements.

Chu border.

Xiang Yan stayed here after repelling Huan Yu, always preventing the Qin army from gathering troops to attack again.

Xiang Yu is already two years old this year, and he is playing in his arms.

Xiang Yan likes this child very much, and inexplicably feels that he will do something earth-shattering in the future, so she loves him very much.

The third son, Uncle Xiang, was standing beside him at this moment, and asked in a low voice: "Father, the Qin army has already retreated, why do you insist on staying in the frontier?"

Hearing the sound, Xiang Yan sneered and said, "Li Xin, Huanju and others are nothing to be afraid of. It is Wang Jian and Ying Yuan who really make my father's heart palpitate. As long as these two people don't die, our country of Chu will be in danger of subjugation at any time. .”

As a hostile force, he was very afraid of those two in his heart.

But what's interesting is that in the territory of Qin, many people think that even without Ying Yuan and Wang Jian, the feat of unifying the world can be accomplished.

I have to say, this is really a bit ignorant.
