My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 466: I’m a stupid brother who doesn’t understand government affairs! The death of Huanjue!

Through these small expressions, Ying Zheng can feel how aggrieved, helpless and pitiful Ying Chengyu was when he wrote this letter.

Ying Zheng unconsciously felt a little distressed and blamed himself.

Why do you need to ask me if I will be angry?

Don't say that what Wang brother did was what everyone wanted.

In the past, the king's brother destroyed Han and Wei on his own and ruined my plan. How could I ever blame you?

Even if I am angry with you, it will only be because you risked your life and rushed into battle!

Brother Wang has obviously achieved great success in conquering Helu City, but he is so frightened. After all, it is because he cares less and lacks a sense of security in his heart!

With a soft sigh, Ying Zheng poured out the second volume of bamboo slips in the tube with full of compassion.

[Although the eldest brother is not angry with the younger brother, the younger brother is angry with himself! 】

[Now our country, the Qin Dynasty, has a serious shortage of officials. Not only to govern the entire territory of Chu, but also to govern the lands of the old Han and the old Wei. 】

[If all the territory to the west and north of Helu City is merged into our Great Qin, our Great Qin may lose control of the grassroots. This is an important basis for our Great Qin to be able to defeat the heroes with a weak country and few people! 】

Although Ying Zheng didn't understand why Ying Chengyu didn't even have the confidence to solve such a simple matter, since Ying Chengyu had made it clear, Ying Zheng didn't mind taking a break.

[If the counties and villages are in chaos, how can I, the Qin Dynasty, mobilize all the young men to conquer all countries and unify them? At that time, the internal chaos alone was enough to give Da Qin a headache. 】

"Fighters can also be found again."

Wei Liao was stunned.

Anyway, when it comes to war, Ying Chengyu is a professional!

"This battle was originally just to repel the invading enemies of Zhao and Chu and seize enough food and grass to last our Qin Dynasty until the autumn harvest. It was not to destroy Chu."

Ying Zheng is already twenty-five years old this year, and there are only ten years left before the death of King Zhuang Xiang, and death has already followed him.

After thinking about it for a long time, even though Ying Zheng was unwilling to accept it, he finally gave in because of Ying Chengyu's IQ and ability.

In Ying Zheng's view, each stage has its main contradiction to be resolved.

"In recent years, our country, Qin, has been engaged in endless foreign wars, its national strength is exhausted, its population is thin, and its food and grass are not abundant."

There is no way, who makes the widow's stupid brother ignorant of government affairs!

Ying Zheng really did not dare and was unwilling to put pressure on Ying Chengyu that was beyond his ability.

All kinds of internal problems are only secondary conflicts. Ying Zheng will not be free to solve them until he resolves the main conflicts.

This is a basic operation that all Qin kings can do!

But Ying Chengyu's handwriting slapped Ying Zheng's self-confidence like a slap in the face.

No matter how incompetent his successor is, trivial matters such as stabilizing internal chaos and resolving conflicts at the grassroots level should not be difficult for him.

The main contradiction that Ying Zheng needs to resolve in his life is to seize all the territory of China, achieve unification, end the war that has lasted for hundreds of years, and formulate a set of rules for the world that is more suitable for today's world.

If Ying Zheng suddenly collapses like King Zhuang Xiang, will the mess he left behind be an unbearable burden for Ying Chengyu?

Seeing Ying Zheng frowning and saying nothing, the noise in the imperial study gradually dissipated.

What happened on the front lines? !

After a long time, Ying Zhengcai finally put Ying Chengyu's bamboo slip into his sleeve, raised his eyes and looked at the ministers: "Difficulties can be overcome."

[The war is raging on the front line. What if the people of Chu land force me to seize their food and property again? 】

All the courtiers stood respectfully, glancing at Ying Zheng from the corner of their eyes, filled with worry.

No way?

He can't do it, can he? !

[It’s all because they don’t have enough to eat, they feel wronged, and they can’t survive! 】

"Then Lord Chang'an's troops will be ordered to move the capital of Guizhou east of the line of Xiacai, Shouchun and Zhaoguan back to Guanzhong as much as possible to enrich the population of Guanzhong."

If because of this delay, Ying Zheng would not be able to fulfill his wish to unify the world in his lifetime.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but draw a smile on his lips, looked around the ministers and asked: "What do you think, dear friends?"

[Why did Zhuang Chou, Chen Li and others rise up and turn against each other? 】

[The Chu people who are against Chu today will become the Qin people who are against Qin tomorrow! 】

More importantly, Ying Zheng does not find it difficult to resolve internal conflicts.

[But if the Qin Dynasty is unable to control Chu due to lack of officials, causing chaos in Chu, rampant bandits, lax law enforcement, and difficult people's livelihood, the people of Chu will definitely feel resentful. 】

Because even if there is chaos at the grassroots level, Ying Zheng is confident that he can control the overall direction and general stability of the country and let the country fight for his goals - facts have proven that Ying Zheng has actually achieved this!

Even if Qianling County is almost in a state of anarchy, Qianling County still has to pay the taxes, perform the corvee military service, and pay the armor and weapons, and it has always contributed its due strength to the Qin Dynasty's foreign wars.

"Therefore, I think that this battle should only take down the west of the Cai, Shouchun, and Zhaoguan lines."

The first-in-line heir in Ying Zheng's mind and the prince's brother, whom Ying Zheng was proud of, actually expressed his serious worries and troublesome fears about the internal chaos caused by the shortage of grassroots officials!

This forced Ying Zheng to consider a problem.

The unfinished business will all fall on Ying Chengyu's shoulders!

[Is my decision right? What should I do next? Brother, think about it quickly and tell me immediately! 】

[So I think it’s not worth spending such a heavy price to conquer Helu City, and it’s even more unworthy to spend an even greater price to conquer the people’s food towns. I feel so guilty! 】

Wei looks dumbfounded.

Even when Chu and Zhao came to attack, Ying Zheng never looked so embarrassed!

[The military nobility law can give the Chu people a chance to stand up. This is what all the common people and servants of Chu State long for. The common people and servants of Chu State will naturally have a good impression of our great Qin. 】

Ying Zheng's originally happy and proud eyes gradually turned solemn, and he looked at Ying Chengyu's handwriting over and over again in silence.

[The Brotherhood will first gather all the territory north of the Yangtze River, and then use Helu City and the King of Chu as bait to lure the Chu army to come to help, in order to weaken the youth of Chu State, and at the same time move the heads of Wu and Guizhou back to our Daqin as much as possible, and Do not take the cities south of the Yangtze River. 】

"Then wait for the people of Chu to elect the new King of Chu, and then we, Da Qin, can stop fighting and negotiate with Chu."

[My little brother is afraid! 】

The ministers: "Ah???"

Your Majesty, your transition is too fast!

Looking at Ying Zheng's bulging sleeves again, the same thought arose in the hearts of all the courtiers.

Sure enough, no one can stop what the king is determined to do - except Lord Chang'an!

The ministers were afraid that Ying Zheng would regret it, so they hurriedly raised their hands and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Feng Quji quickly rolled up his sleeves and prepared an edict.

But just as the silk was being laid, another shout came from outside the imperial study. "Your Majesty! An urgent report on the military situation of General Yan!"

Ying Zheng shouted in anticipation: "Pass!"

The imperial study door opened again.

An orderly soldier covered in blood entered the imperial study with the support of two eunuchs.

"Your Majesty!" The first time he saw Ying Zheng, the messenger broke away from the eunuch, fell to his knees, and cried out sadly: "Our troops are defeated!"

"General Jie died in battle, and deputy general Xin Wu is leading the remaining troops to stop the Zhao army."

"Please ask your Majesty to increase your troops for support!"

Ying Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

All the anticipation turned into shock.

Wei Liao suddenly shouted: "What's the situation on the front line like?"

The ordering soldier took out a bamboo tube from his arms and offered it with both hands.

Wei Liao couldn't wait for Meng Yi to come over, so he grabbed the bamboo tube from the messenger's hand, checked the clay seal letter and looked at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng said solemnly: "Read it!"

Wei Liao immediately opened the bamboo tube, poured out the bamboo slips, and recited in a deep voice:

"Vice-General Xin Sheng reports to the King!"

"On February 9, the twelfth year, our troops defeated the Zhao army in Changzhi."

"On February 10, our troops marched eastward to Fukouxing to pursue and kill the remaining soldiers of the Zhao army."

"Of course, the Zhao army has already laid a heavy ambush in Fukouxing."

"On February 12, the Zhao army blocked the front and back roads of Fukouxing and attacked our troops with falling rocks, rain of crossbows, and fire."

"General Jun commanded our army to withdraw to the west, but he died in the chaos. After that, our army collapsed and everyone fled."

"On February 16, the general finally led 8,521 remaining soldiers to escape from Fukouxing, but the Zhao army continued to pursue them."

"In the end, we will collect the defeated troops along the way, intending to use Tunliu County to resist the enemy."

"However, Zhao's army is powerful, and our army has only the remnant, and the general will not be able to find a chance to win."

"On February 16, the twelfth year, Lieutenant General Xin Wu asked the king to reinforce our army!"

After reciting, the officials in the royal study were stunned and silent.

In the years when generals such as Meng Ao, Wang Lu, and Hegong passed away one after another, and Ying Chengyu had not yet set out to fight, Huanjuan was the leading general of the Qin Dynasty. He fought in consecutive battles, defeated the Zhao army repeatedly, and made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty!

What about Li Mu?

Although he defeated Wang Jian in Wu'an City, it was a victory caused by many external factors. In addition, Li Mu only had achievements in the wars against Yan and the Huns.

In terms of national strength, military strength, baggage, and the quality of soldiers, Qin was also better than Zhao.

No one in the Qin Dynasty thought that Huan Jue would be defeated by Li Mu.

No one could have imagined that Huan Jue would suffer such a disastrous defeat.

He even lost his life!

Li Mu's encirclement and killing of Huan Jue brought a shock to the officials of Qin Dynasty, which was even worse than that of Ying Chengyu's army to destroy Han alone!

After a few breaths, Wei Liao shouted in disbelief: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Er'an dares to lie about military information!"

The messenger said bitterly: "We never thought we would suffer such a defeat."

"How dare you say such nonsense about such a big matter!"

"My humble position is that I am the chief of the family of Lieutenant General Xin Wu, and I am also the nephew of Lieutenant General Xin Wu, Xin Yi."

"This is the test and certificate of humble duty, and this is the seal of my family master!"

"This military report can be proved to be correct!"

The clay-seal letter on Xin Wu's military newspaper is enough to prove that the military newspaper is true.

But Wei Liao still verified Xin Yi's identity again, and just now he held his hands with an ugly face and said: "Your Majesty, the military report is correct!"

There was a burst of anxious shouting in the royal study room:

"How could Lord Zhao Wu'an defeat my Great Qin General Jiu!"

"General Yan will be defeated if he is defeated. How could he be defeated so miserably and even lose his own life!"

"Our Qin Dynasty's more than 200,000 soldiers were buried in Taihang! What a pity! What a tragedy!"

Every general is precious to a country.

Huan Jue's death in battle was definitely a heavy blow to Da Qin.

The death of more than 200,000 young men in battle was a heavy blow to Qin's national strength!

And the subsequent chain reaction caused by this battle makes people's scalp numb even more thinking about it!

Ying Zheng closed his eyes in regret, blamed himself and sighed: "I regret not listening to my brother's advice!"

When everyone thought that Huan Jue could achieve a great victory in the war against Li Mu, only Ying Chengyu gave the opposite judgment and advised Ying Zheng to transfer Wang Jian to replace Huan Jue.

But the situation of the war made Ying Zheng dare not move lightly.

The past achievements of Wang Jian and Huan Jue also made Ying Zheng trust Huan Jue even more.

But in exchange for this trust, Huan Jue died in battle!

With a long sigh, Ying Zheng suppressed the sadness in his heart and spoke solemnly: "General Yan died in battle, and there were only a few thousand soldiers under the command of Lieutenant General Wu."

"However, Zhao Jun has more than 200,000 troops!"

"There are no more heavy troops between Zhao Jun and Xianyang City!"

"Dear ladies!"

"Is there any strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
