In the Qin Dynasty, people changed the world by brushing entries

"It's better to gather them all together, so I don't have to look for them one by one."

Bai Yuan and Xuan Jian planned to take this opportunity to destroy Luowang. Lao Ai gathered all the Luowang killers together, which saved him a lot of effort.

Yan Fei and Yue Shen were not aware of Bai Yuan's thoughts. When they learned that Lao Ai intended to rebel, they just wanted to tell Ying Zheng the news as soon as possible.

Everyone hurried out and ran to Zhangtai Palace to find Ying Zheng to explain the matter.

After being informed by the imperial guards at the gate, they soon met Ying Zheng in the back garden led by a team of imperial guards.

As soon as they came in, they discovered that there were several hidden auras in the back garden. They thought they were the Shadow Secret Guards created by Ying Zheng.

At this moment, Gai Nie was standing behind Ying Zheng, looking like a bodyguard, while Xuan Jian was sitting on a big tree nearby. When he saw Bai Yuan coming, he gave him an inquiring look.

Bai Yuan understood that Xuan Jian was worried about Wei Xianxian, so he gave him a reassuring look.

Ying Zheng had tea served to Bai Yuan and the others. After they sat down, he asked them what the important matter was that they had discussed with the guards before.

"We met a group of fools on the way to Xianyang, and learned from them that Lao Ai intended to rebel."

"Lao Ai?"

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard the name.

He knew who this man was, a man who had obtained the title of Marquis of Changxin by pleasing his mother, Queen Zhao Ji.

He knew very well that this man was a lover kept by Zhao Ji.

Keeping male lovers was not uncommon in the circle of the Queen Mother of Qin. Mi Yue and Mi Bazi also kept quite a few male lovers back then.

Moreover, when he thought about how he was a hostage in Zhao State, and how he and Zhao Ji depended on each other for survival and suffered a lot, he finally returned to Qin State, but he didn't expect that his father would pass away within a few years. Zhao Ji was in her prime, so it was normal for her to feel lonely.

Moreover, by doing this, Zhao Ji helped him to restrain Lu Buwei, which in a way helped him, plus he felt indebted to Zhao Ji.

So due to various reasons, Ying Zheng always turned a blind eye to the affairs of Lao Ai.

Hearing that Zhao Ji's lover was planning to rebel, Ying Zheng was naturally very surprised.

"Sir, do you have any other evidence?"

"Lao Ai has mobilized a large number of Luowang assassins to Yongdi, and has also secretly prepared an army of 30,000. No matter how well they hide, 30,000 people will be exposed. If the king wants to investigate this matter, he will surely find out soon."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng could no longer conceal the anger on his face.

"Thirty thousand people! Great! Very good!"

He waved his hand, and in an instant, Bai Yuan and others felt that one of the auras hidden in the dark was quickly moving away from here.

There was no need to guess, they all knew that they had been sent to investigate the matter.

This place is very close to Yongdi. If they want to investigate, one day is enough for them to go back and forth.

Ying Zheng finally calmed down, but the coldness in his eyes was still oppressive. At this moment, he just hoped that his mother was not involved in this matter.

"Now the six kingdoms are united and are about to attack Qin. Now there are thieves who are planning to rebel. Our Great Qin is in trouble both internally and externally!"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"The coalition forces of the six nations are nothing but a mob, and Lao Ai is even more of a fool. I have reminded the king before that he should be well prepared in advance. I think the king should have gained something from it, right?"

Chapter 282: Destroying the Army and Killing the General, One of the Four Great Generals

After hearing Bai Yuan's words, Ying Zheng felt much better when he thought about what he had gained during this period.

"The Meng family are all loyal and capable generals. General Meng Ao has promised to fully support me. After learning about the movements of the six nations, General Meng Ao has been training new soldiers in Lantian to prepare for war. At this moment, there are 200,000 black iron armored soldiers in the Lantian camp ready to take orders."

Bai Yuan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Ying Zheng's words.

With an army of 200,000 strong, all of them well-equipped and well-trained elite soldiers, it is no wonder that Ying Zheng was smiling so happily.

But it's not over yet.

"After the Meng family took sides, other military leaders also expressed their opinions. It can be said that the military power of the Qin Dynasty is now in my hands."

In less than three months, Ying Zheng had gained control of the military power, so no one could stop him from taking the throne.

"Emergency battle report from the front line!"

Just as Ying Zheng was smiling and talking about his gains during this period, a notification suddenly came from outside.

The smile on Ying Zheng's face suddenly disappeared and his expression became serious.

Gai Nie walked out and took a scroll from a black iron armored soldier, then handed it to Ying Zheng.

After reading it, Ying Zheng's face suddenly turned ugly.

"The six kingdoms of Wei, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei gathered an army of more than 300,000 soldiers to attack Hangu Pass."

"Three hundred thousand? That number isn't right, is it?"

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows.

You have to know that this is a coalition of six nations, and on average each nation only sends 50,000 people. How is this possible?

Wei is a small country and can probably muster only 50,000 people, but the other countries are all big countries and they can at least come up with 100,000 people, if not more.

Three hundred thousand is obviously not right.

"According to intelligence, this time the alliance was led by Zhao, with 150,000 troops, Yan, Han, and Wei sent 100,000 troops, Chu sent 150,000 troops, and Wei sent 20,000 troops, a total of 620,000 troops. Now the remaining 320,000 troops are missing."

After seeing this information, Ying Zheng felt a little uneasy.

"Send someone to notify General Meng Ao, General Wang Jian and others to come to Zhangtai Palace for a discussion!"

Ying Zheng acted promptly and sent people to call these military generals.

Afterwards, he deliberately kept Bai Yuan and others, and let him participate in the meeting with Yan Fei and Yue Shen.

Soon, in the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng sat on the throne, and more than a dozen military generals rushed over.

In addition to them, there are some civil servants, but most of them are from the Chu forces, such as Changping Jun and Changwen Jun, the two mainstays of the Chu forces.

Ying Zheng also asked someone to invite Lu Buwei, but Lu Buwei had been claiming to be sick recently and did not come, so Ying Zheng did not care.

Lu Buwei's absence made it easier for him to take back power.

Ying Zheng did not say anything to these generals and directly gave them the intelligence from the front line for circulation.

After reading the intelligence, some generals were very disdainful.

"It's just 300,000 people. Just give me 50,000 troops and I can stop the enemy outside the pass with the help of the natural barrier of Hangu Pass!"

"That's it!"

These young generals all looked at Ying Zheng eagerly, as if they were waiting for him to give the order to go to war so that they could gain some military merit and upgrade their titles.

However, the faces of some experienced veterans became very solemn.

Meng Ao looked back, and his pair of tiger eyes, which were intimidating without even being angry, immediately calmed down these active generals and made them keep silent.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the 300,000 troops outside Hangu Pass are just bait to attract our attention. If we really put most of our troops in Hangu Pass, we will probably fall into their trap!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, as what Meng Ao said touched his heart deeply.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Hangu Pass is the most important pass of our Great Qin. A single pass can defeat a hundred thousand strong soldiers. It will be the gateway for our Great Qin to go east in the future and cannot be lost. So even if we know this is an enemy strategy, we should send some troops to support it."

"If I were to lead the troops, 100,000 men would be enough!"

"One hundred thousand people... I'll have to trouble you to make the trip."

Ying Zheng and Meng Ao quickly decided to go on the expedition, but Bai Yuan was not interested.

What he was curious about now was which one of the many generals standing on the stage was Wang Jian?

As one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period who can be compared with Bai Qi, Li Mu and Lian Po, Wang Jian had an extremely brilliant military record.

Of the six kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Wei, Wang Jian's family destroyed five.

Wang Jian fought in countless battles in his life. He was wise but not violent, brave and resourceful. Unlike Bai Qi, he was too murderous. He was an extremely rare general!

Bai Yuan was naturally very curious about such a legendary figure.

He scanned the entire place using his [Recognize People] skill and quickly found Wang Jian.

At this time, Wang Jian still looked very young, only about thirty years old at most, but the aura revealed between his brows was already very terrifying.

【Character】: Wang Jian

[Age]: 36 years old

[Faction]: Daqin (loyalty)

[Entry]: Break the army and kill the general (purple), Soldiers are treacherous (purple)

[Defeat the Army and Kill the General]: When serving as the commander of an army, the cohesion and combat effectiveness of your own army will increase by 10%. When beheading the enemy general, the combat effectiveness will increase by an additional 20%, and the probability of the enemy's defeat will double.

[The Art of War]: Extremely skilled in the art of war, shrewd and calculating, he can always see through the enemy's plots and schemes and make corresponding counterattacks. He can also see through the enemy's weaknesses and deal unexpected blows to the enemy.

Looking at the two purple entries on Wang Jian, Bai Yuan couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

This guy is worthy of being the strongest general of Qin State since Bai Qi!

However, Bai Yuan was only surprised for a moment and quickly looked away.

At this time, he heard Ying Zheng announce:

"General Meng Ao, mobilize 100,000 troops to immediately support Hangu Pass. In addition, Tianzong Master Bai Yuan has learned that Changxin Marquis Lao Ai is planning a rebellion and has gathered 30,000 troops in Yongdi. General Wang Jian, I order you to mobilize 100,000 troops and be ready to serve at any time."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's order, everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then their faces turned angry, like powder kegs that had exploded.

Naturally, they all knew who Lao Ai was, a scoundrel who had no military achievements but was granted the title of marquis because of his relationship with Zhao Ji.

Which of these military generals did not rise slowly through hardships in life and death battles, relying on killing enemies to gain military merit? Naturally, they would not like a guy like Lao Ai who took the back door.

Now that he has come to them on his own initiative, isn't that giving them military merit?

Meng Ao felt a little regretful at this moment and wanted to switch places with Wang Jian.

It would definitely be more interesting to stay in Xianyang, kill the rebels, and protect the king than to run to support Hangu Pass.

As for Hangu Pass, as long as a steady general goes to support it, there won't be any problem.

If the 300,000 men of the coalition army dared to attack Hangu Pass, the 100,000 troops they sent to support them would be enough to bury them all here.

Therefore, in comparison, staying in Xianyang and listening to Ying Zheng's orders is, in a sense, the merit of following the dragon!

Chapter 283 Luowang Changes Master

The king's orders cannot be disobeyed. This can be said to be a concept engraved in the minds of these loyal Qin generals.

Therefore, although Meng Ao envied Wang Jian, he still obeyed Ying Zheng's order and led an army of 100,000 to Hangu Pass the next day.

After all, speed is of the essence in war. Although Hangu Pass is a natural barrier, no one can guarantee that it will be foolproof.

Not long after Meng Ao went on the expedition, Ying Zheng's investigation into Lao Ai had already yielded results.

In the back garden of Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng looked at the intelligence in his hands, his knuckles turned white from pinching it.

It seemed that Yongdi had been controlled by Lao Ai, and everything was just as Bai Yuan said.

Thirty thousand people, plus a large number of Luowang assassins, all reveal Lao Ai's wolfish ambitions.

Considering that his coming-of-age ceremony would be only a few days away, Ying Zheng wanted to resolve the matter before the ceremony, and the smaller the noise, the better.

Xianyang is the capital of Qin. If a large-scale war breaks out here, it will definitely cause internal turmoil, which is something Ying Zheng does not want to see.

After all, the coalition forces of the six countries are now eyeing them covetously. In addition to the 300,000 troops outside Hangu Pass, there are still 320,000 troops who are missing. Ying Zheng has to be on guard.

But just when Ying Zheng was thinking about how to resolve the matter smoothly, a member of the Shadow Secret Guard hurried over.

"Your Majesty! Urgent news from Yongdi!"

"Read!"

"Marquis of Changxin Lao Ai has gathered 30,000 troops and is heading towards the Zhangtai Palace. The garrison troops in Xianyang City and some local troops have been mobilized. The other side is flying the banner of the Queen Mother..."

Having said this, the member of the Shadow Secret Guard didn't dare to look Ying Zheng in the eye.

"I haven't even gone to look for him yet, but he has already given up hiding! Does he think my Lantian camp is just a decoration?"

Ying Zheng was so angry that he kicked over the table in front of him.

This was the first time he had lost his composure like this in a long time.
