People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Ying Zheng glanced at Lü Buwei, Lord Changping, and the civil and military officials in the hall.

His instincts told him that there was definitely something wrong.

Forced to this point, Ying Zheng's rage and resentment suddenly vanished completely.

"Wang Jian, Wang Ben".

"Chen is here!"

"You shall lead an army of 60,000 to Tunliu to quell the rebellion and capture Cheng Jiao, bringing him back to Xianyang!"

"Yes!"

At that moment, Lü Buwei asked, "Your Majesty, who will be sent to provide support from Yaoshan?"

Ying Zheng frowned. "Does Uncle Zhong have anyone in mind?"

Lu Buwei casually said, "The Left Chancellor Wang Yi is currently stationed in Taiyuan County, not far from Yaoshan. Although he only has 30,000 men, they are all elites of the Qin army, each one brave and skilled in battle, enough to help General Meng Ao win the Battle of Yaoshan."

Ying Zheng thought for a moment and, finding no problem, said, "I will do as you say, Uncle."

"Court adjourned!"

After saying that, Ying Zheng left immediately.

Cheng Jiao's betrayal left him feeling suffocated.

Lord Changping and Lü Buwei exchanged a glance and left, each with their own thoughts.

Lü Buwei smiled faintly, "This time it was very good."

Cheng Jiao is doomed.

If Wang Yi can achieve this military merit, he will surely gain more influence in the army.

He won twice.

When Gai Nie saw Ying Zheng return to his study, he carried over ten kilograms of official documents and placed them on Ying Zheng's desk, as he always did.

But Ying Zheng had no interest in looking at it at the moment.

Zhongfu's side was doing something like "a word worth a thousand pieces of gold," directly bypassing him to promote "Lüshi Chunqiu."

He could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything. Even if he could, he had no reason to stop his father from promoting the book in such a 'great, glorious, and righteous' manner.

Unexpectedly, before he could even catch his breath, he heard the news of Cheng Jiao's rebellion and treason. It was truly...

He suddenly said to Gai Nie, "I would like to go out for a walk to clear my head."

Gai Nie looked at Ying Zheng and asked expressionlessly, "Where does Your Majesty wish to go?"

"Anywhere is fine."

Ying Zheng looked out the window. He was now looking for someone who could advise him and help him see the future changes clearly.

"Han Fei...Cao Ze..."

He silently recited two names, knowing that both of them could help him.

But there was no one around.

……

Chengjiao has rebelled.

Cao Ze was both amused and exasperated upon receiving this news.

He instantly understood what had been going on with Guo Kai all this time.

He truly deserves to be called the foremost general of the Warring States period and the renowned prime minister of the Great Zhao, Guo Xiangguo.

That was a really impressive move.

As for how Guo Kai knew Cheng Jiao was going to rebel, it goes without saying that it was Yan Ri who leaked the information.

"Cheng Jiao is doomed..."

He was, after all, a loyal reader of his own "Journey to the West," and he never forgot to read it even while on military duty.

Cao Ze sighed softly, "It's a pity."

Being caught in the web of Lü Buwei and Lord Changping, and also being schemed against by Guo Kai, it would be strange if he didn't die.

But that has nothing to do with him.

The next day.

Guo Kai ordered the army to march at full speed.

Cao Ze, riding on the snow, knew that Guo Kai wanted to steal the credit.

Seeing that Cao Ze remained silent, Guo Kai smiled and casually recounted Cheng Jiao's rebellion.

"Mr. Cao Ze, what do you think of my move?"

After he learned about this from Yan Ri, he began to make plans.

He secretly informed Zhao Yan, who then received the secret letter. He sent it to Yan Ri, who then handed it to Cheng Jiao, thus solidifying the evidence against him for plotting a rebellion.

Tsk tsk, I must say Zhao Yan is very generous with his promises. He directly promised Cheng Jiao that even if the rebellion fails, as long as he comes to Zhao, he will be given the fief of Raoyang.

Old Guo hasn't been granted land yet.

Cao Ze smiled and said, "Your Excellency is truly a man of exceptional wisdom and resourcefulness, a worthy minister of the Great Zhao."

Guo Kai was pleased with Cao Ze's compliments.

Guo Kai is a capable man!

"Hey, Mr. Cao Ze is not bad either."

Guo Kai feigned modesty.

"Oh, by the way, I must also trouble Mr. Cao Ze to send a military report to General Pang Nuan by fast horse tomorrow, informing him of my plans."

Cao Ze took the military report from Guo Kai and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Are they preparing to take action against him?

"it is good."

Guo Kai laughed even more heartily.

What could be more pleasurable than watching your opponent die?

Chapter 224 Tide Demoness, Widow

News of Cheng Jiao's rebellion swept across the six kingdoms like a hurricane.

Xinzheng, South Korea.

The heavily pregnant King An of Han secretly summoned the Marquis in Blood Robe, who commanded 100,000 border troops.

"General Bai, have you heard of Cheng Jiao, the Lord of Chang'an, who is currently stationed at Tunliu, the younger brother of King Ying Zheng of Qin?"

When Cheng Jiao was mentioned, King An of Han's voice changed.

He didn't know what happened.

But Cheng Jiao's rebellion caught him completely off guard.

Originally, after Empress Dowager Xia Ji passed away, he planned to send someone with generous gifts to contact Cheng Jiao.

Given the favor shown to him in the past when he was granted a hundred miles of land and helped him become a lord, he could at least say a few good words for the state of Han in the Qin court.

who knows……

King Han sighed, realizing he wouldn't know who to ask for gifts in the future.

Bai Yifei has long white hair and lips as red as blood.

The crown is simple yet alluring.

Coupled with a blood-stained outfit and high boots, his wicked and arrogant demeanor was on full display.

"Your Majesty, I am aware of the situation."

Bai Yifei's eyes were deep; he certainly knew the significance of Cheng Jiao to the King of Han.

Han An paced back and forth a few times, somewhat anxiously.

"From this moment forward, you shall immediately go to the border garrison to guard against any unforeseen events."

He worried that the Qin state would take action against the Han state because of Cheng Jiao's rebellion.

Furthermore, he still harbored some hope.

If Cheng Jiao really succeeds, he might have to send troops to support him.

A good Qin king is one who is close to the state of Han.

"I will obey the king's command."

Bai Yifei walked out of the main hall step by step, but instead of leaving, he went to Lady Mingzhu's palace.

"Cousin, did something happen?"

Lady Mingzhu walked slowly out of the back hall with a smile on her lips.

Bai Yifei asked calmly, "Has anything happened to Han An lately?"

"No, as always."

Lady Mingzhu's slender, jade-like fingers gently held a lit incense stick. Amidst the swirling fragrance, she half-closed her eyes, her gaze alluring and utterly enjoying herself.

If you look closely, you can see two teardrop-shaped diamonds stuck under her eyes, making her already alluring gaze even more captivating.

"Really not?"

Bai Yifei asked again.

"No means no. If you're worried, I'll use incense and illusion magic to hypnotize him tonight and ask him for you."

Lady Mingzhu, dressed in a purple strapless lace-trimmed palace dress, put down the incense. The tight fishtail skirt stretched all the way to the ground, making her even more alluring.

It fully displays the charm of the sea goddess.
