Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 314: Please ask Lord Guowei to lead the troops to destroy Zhao!
Half a year!

After hearing the time limit given by King Qin, many generals in the court felt worried.

The State of Zhao has experienced successive defeats. Although its national strength is far less than before, there are still more than a hundred cities in the State of Zhao. The combined population of each city is nearly 70. It is difficult to destroy the State of Zhao within half a year. Little difficulty.

What's more, the six countries can survive for hundreds of years in this troubled world because they already have a delicate relationship of mutual assistance.

At present, the Qin State is the only strong one. If it sends troops to destroy Zhao, other countries will definitely not sit idly by and do nothing, and will definitely send troops to interfere.

By then, not to mention half a year, I’m afraid it might even last a year!
Just when everyone was worried, Ying Jun looked up at King Qin sitting above the hall with a calm face, and said solemnly: "Two months!"

"Destroy the State of Zhao within two months!"

After the words fell, everyone looked horrified and stood dumbfounded.

Because of Yingjun's words, the entire hall suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Countless ministers were filled with surprise and looked in disbelief at Ying Jun, who was standing in the hall with a nonchalant look on his face.

Destroyed Zhao in two months?
This...how is this possible?

It would take at least two months to capture the more than [-] cities. Even if the Zhao State has become decadent, if it faces annihilation, the people and soldiers of the Zhao State will definitely fight to the death. In just two How can it be done in a month?
Although it took Wang Zijun two months to eradicate the alien races in the western grasslands, how could those alien races in the west be comparable to the combat power of the domestic soldiers.

The Central Plains countries have been fighting for years, and they are well aware of the strength of the soldiers in each country. Even though the soldiers under Prince Jun are fierce and brave, and have extremely high combat power, it is impossible to destroy the Zhao country in two months. Impossible!
Even the veteran general Hegong, Meng Ao, Wang Jian and others who had been fighting for many years standing next to him had expressions of surprise on their faces and looked at Yingjun with complicated expressions.

They all saw Yingjun's strength, but even so, it was too reluctant to destroy Zhao in two months.

Now the soldiers of the Qin army have won battles one after another, and their morale is extremely high. If they suffer a defeat in the battle to destroy Zhao, it will definitely affect the morale of the army and even attract ridicule from other countries.

Just as Duke He was about to walk out of the crowd and ask why, he was interrupted by King Qin sitting in the main hall.

"Guowei, do you know that when you are in court, you are not allowed to deceive, exaggerate, or deceive the emperor!"

"Since you have repeatedly made military exploits for the Qin Dynasty and rarely come to court to discuss matters, I just said that I will not pursue it, but you must not do it again!"

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in King Qin's eyes, but his hands were clenched into fists tightly, and his heart was full of unwillingness.

Destroy Zhao!

This is not only his long-cherished wish as a King of Qin.

It is the wish of countless old Qin people for generations!
He knew in his heart that his health was getting worse day by day, especially during the Battle of Hangu Pass. He was focused on the war ahead all day long, and looked in a daze, making it difficult to sleep and eat well every day.

Now that other countries did not dare to invade Qin, this relieved him, but it also aggravated his condition.

You can even vaguely feel that you have less than two months left!
But if I could watch the warriors of Great Qin marching into the Zhao Kingdom and the black flag of Great Qin planting all over the Zhao Kingdom on my deathbed...

Even if he heard the news of the destruction of Zhao State, he would be satisfied even if he died.

Although we cannot see the Qin Dynasty unifying the six kingdoms, we can see the beginning of the Qin Dynasty's unification.

But he also knew that two months was far from enough to destroy Zhao!
However, Yingjun still stood expressionless, staring at the King of Qin who was sitting above him. Then he glanced at the ministers behind him and said with extremely firm eyes: "It will take half a year to destroy a struggling Zhao State. , then wouldn’t it take several years for our long-cherished wish of all the kings of the Qin Dynasty to unify the six kingdoms?”

"If everyone is like you, fearful and indecisive, how can we, the Qin Dynasty, be able to unify the world?"

The sound resounded throughout the entire court and echoed for a long time!
quiet!
silence!

The entire hall fell into deathly silence again.

Yingjun's words were like a sharp blade, piercing deeply into the hearts of countless ministers.

At this moment, all the ministers in the hall fell into silence, and all of them lowered their heads with extremely heavy expressions.

The kings of the past dynasties spent decades working hard and going through countless hardships to gradually grow the entire Qin Kingdom from the original land of Longxi, in order to one day allow the Qin warriors to go eastward and fulfill their long-cherished wish to unify the six countries.But now, the countries are already weak, and the Qin State is getting stronger and stronger. The unification of the Qin Dynasty is close at hand, but they are timid and dare not take a step.

How can this be worthy of those dead soldiers and the decades of hard work of the old Qin people?
Thinking of this, the veteran general Hegong standing next to him took a deep breath, slowly raised his head to look at Ying Jun, and immediately leaned down and knelt on the ground: "Please lead the army to destroy Zhao!"

The other generals standing behind Duke Lu immediately knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Please lead the army to destroy Zhao!"

Even the civil servants turned around and faced Yingjun. They all knelt down and shouted: "Please lead the army to destroy Zhao!"

At this moment, when countless Qin people heard Ying Jun's words, they all woke up like a wake-up call.

For a time, everyone in the entire hall except King Qin bowed their heads to Yingjun and asked him to lead the army.

There were tears in the eyes of King Qin who was sitting on the throne, and he was extremely excited.

He didn't expect that just a few words would make the hearts of countless ministers gather together.

Even as the King of Qin, he couldn't do it!

This is enough to prove that Yingjun already has the potential to be the future King of Qin!

King Qin's eyes were full of joy, and then he looked at Ying Jun who was standing under the palace, and said loudly: "Captain, listen to the order! I order you to be the commander-in-chief, and I will send troops to destroy Zhao someday! I will agree to whatever you need in this battle!"

"Meng Ao, Wang Jian, you two are deputy generals, and you are fully at the command of the captain!"

Meng Ao and Wang Jian immediately said in unison: "The last general takes orders!"

Ying Jun nodded slightly, then stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have a need at this time!"

King Qin's face was full of smiles, and he raised his hand and said: "If you have any needs, just ask me, I will grant it to you!"

Ying Jun smiled slightly, with a smile on his lips, and said calmly: "I want a batch of pig iron!"

"Hahaha!"

King Qin laughed loudly and thought he wanted something. It turned out to be a batch of pig iron.

Although he didn't know what he wanted iron for, but what could be compared with the destruction of Zhao State? As long as Zhao State could be destroyed within two months, it was nothing.

King Qin immediately turned to the minister in charge of the treasury and asked: "Secretary of the Interior, how much pig iron is left in the treasury?"

A minister quickly reported back: "Your Majesty, there are still [-] kilograms of pig iron left in the treasury!"

King Qin nodded, raised his hand and said, "Then give all the pig iron to the captain!"

"not enough!"

Before he finished speaking, Ying Jun said directly: "Twenty thousand pig iron is not enough at all, at least one hundred thousand kilograms, and the more the better!"

hiss!
Everyone gasped involuntarily.

One hundred thousand pounds!
Looking at the entire Qin State, there are not even [-] kilograms of pig iron.

And Wang Zijun asked for [-] catties as soon as he asked for it. Who could give it?

Moreover, this pig iron is already scarce, and is generally only used to make swords for those generals who have made great contributions.

King Qin couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes were full of surprise, and he asked doubtfully: "What is the use of so much pig iron?"
