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

Chapter 469: If the widow dies, the Lord of Chang'an will inherit the throne of Qin!

Wang Ben's eyes were astonished.

The king recognized his judgment and ordered all officials to move to Yongcheng. This showed that the king was mentally prepared for the fall of Xianyang City.

But why is the king still stationed in Xianyang City!

Wang Ben immediately handed over his hand and said: "I would like to ask you to move to Yongcheng together with your colleagues!"

"In the end, the general will definitely try his best to defend Xianyang City."

"But if we, the Qin Dynasty, are indeed unable to protect Xianyang, we must preserve the foundation of the country and protect the king from danger!"

Wang Ben said sincerely: "If the territory falls, it can still be taken back."

"But the king's safety must not be compromised!"

"Please, Your Majesty, go west to Yongcheng!"

Feng Quji, Wei Liao and other Qin court officials also solemnly handed over their hands: "I would like to order you to guard Xianyang City with your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng shook his head: "I am not the foundation of my country, Great Qin."

"My dear friends, you will continue to face the enemy's front while fleeing with me, and you are in danger of death at any time!"

Except for the foreigners, all the courtiers of the Qin Dynasty fought on the battlefield and beheaded the enemy with their own hands!

They are not powerless civil servants, they are also generals who can kill the enemy on horseback and protect the king!

"We, the people of Qin, are not afraid of death!"

It was precisely because Bai Qi repeatedly trapped soldiers and massacred Guizhou leaders that Han, Wei and other countries that had been relatively strong in the past plummeted in number, their national power collapsed, and they lost the ability to fight fiercely with Qin.

"It only takes a few years of rest and recuperation for the children to grow up and take over the responsibilities of their fathers, so that I, Da Qin, can continue to be the overlord of the world!"

"Zhao Jun will definitely return to help Handan City immediately and will have no time to massacre me in Guanzhong!"

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Ying Zheng said calmly: "Therefore, I would like to send all my dear friends to lead the surrounding Guizhou heads to Yongcheng."

Massacring a city is a very common method used to weaken enemies after breaking a city, and the best one among them is Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an!

"If the great king survives, then the great Qin will survive."

Ying Zheng admitted that Wang Ben's family-changing tactic was the best policy.

"If the Zhao army breaks through Xianyang City and beheads the few men, then Zhao will have accomplished this battle, while the main force of our army is still attacking Handan City."

The courtiers and generals of the Warring States Period were well aware of the importance of reducing the enemy's effective forces.

No one denies what Ying Zheng said.

"Even if we, the Qin Dynasty, take back Guanzhong in the future, there may not be even one out of ten heads of Guanzhong left in Guanzhong!"

Ying Zheng did not appoint a prince or even a queen.

Important matters of life and death were spoken calmly by Ying Zheng.

But if Ying Zheng dies in battle, the situation in Daqin will be chaotic, and all their investments in Ying Zheng will be in vain. It will be difficult for them and the families behind them to maintain their current status and interests!

Ying Zheng refuted firmly: "If I and all my dear friends retreat to Yongcheng, we may even abandon Yongcheng and move to Bashu."

The ministers were stunned.

The hearts of the ministers trembled, and they looked at Ying Zheng with complicated eyes.

But this is the best policy based on the premise of ensuring the safety of Ying Zheng.

Wei Liao refuted without hesitation: "Your Majesty is the king of our Great Qin! He is also the foundation of our Great Qin!"

"Wei soldiers, we will win!"

"My presence in Xianyang will definitely boost the morale of our Da Qin soldiers."

"In this way, we, the Qin Dynasty, can regain the lost territory, and we can also save the lives of all your dear friends and the head of Guanzhong."

"Then Zhao Jun is very likely to slaughter the city to get food!"

"Even if there are a lot of losses in this battle, I will still use my life to revive the Qin Dynasty!"

But if it was necessary to pay such a heavy price to save Ying Zheng's life, why should Ying Zheng die?

Ying Zheng showed a smile: "The news of my death will also boost the morale of our Great Qin soldiers."

"Please, Your Majesty, go to Yongcheng for temporary refuge!"

The official system of the Qin Dynasty was different from that of later imperial courts.

The ministers could only bow their hands solemnly: "I, ministers, are willing to die for the king!"

Now that the country is facing a national crisis, they can accept their own death on the battlefield, and they also believe that Ying Zheng will treat their families kindly.

"The foundation of our country, Great Qin, is safe!"

Even the news of his death was used by Ying Zheng.

Li Mu and Bai Qi share the title of Lord Wu'an, and there is a blood feud between Qin and Zhao. What Bai Qi did, how could Li Mu not repeat it in Qin?

"In this way, I, Da Qin, can be more sure of guarding Xianyang City."

"And I will lead my elite troops to station in Xianyang City, waiting for General Wang to return to the city to join forces and fight Zhao for a decisive battle!"

All the ministers raised their hands and shouted: "Please, Your Majesty, please go to Yongcheng for temporary refuge!"

"King Hu is marching westward with General Wang to await reinforcements!"

"If Xianyang City is in danger of falling, I will lead my servants to fight to the death and continue to defend the city to cut off the king's queen."

Ying Zheng said angrily: "But I can't just watch all my dear friends and all the people of the Qin Dynasty die!"

Before the succession rights to the throne are clear, the king is not the foundation of the country. Who is the foundation of the country?

Before the officials could ask questions, Ying Zheng looked at them firmly: "The people of Great Qin and all your beloved ministers are the foundation of our country!"

“The foundation of our country cannot be compromised!”

A sentence that was completely different from the mainstream views in the world came from Ying Zheng's mouth, which made all the courtiers feel warm in their hearts.

But Wei Liao still never gave up admonishing: "I know that the king's heart is full of the Qin Dynasty."

"But if it is really for the future of Great Qin, your Majesty should cherish your own body even more!"

"Only when the king is healthy can we, the Qin Dynasty, prosper."

"When the world is in turmoil and the young master is young, if the king makes a mistake, the Qin Dynasty may be destroyed!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng was not shy about talking about life and death, Wei Liao did not hide it and directly told the consequences of Ying Zheng's death in Xianyang.

In Wei Liao's view, only Ying Zheng has the ability to deal with the complex and chaotic situation in today's world. If Young Master Fusu and others were to be promoted to the throne now, it would be a real disaster for Great Qin!

After Ying Zheng was silent for a few moments, he said in a deep voice: "Draw up the decree!"

"If I die in Xianyang..."

"Then I, Lord Chang'an of Great Qin, will inherit the throne of King Qin!"

One sentence, like thunder, exploded in the imperial study room.

Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang and other court officials all looked at Ying Zheng in astonishment.

Even Li Si and others, who had long known that Ying Zheng was extremely gracious to Ying Chengyuan and responded to every request, were dumbfounded.

In their view, pampering must have a limit.

That's the throne!

The throne, my lord!

How many people kill their brothers for the sake of the throne!

Let’s not talk about it from afar, let’s just say that the newly captured King of Chu killed his two brothers just for the sake of the throne!

Aren't you worried that Lord Chang'an will send someone to assassinate you after hearing this order?

Even if Lord Chang'an can endure it, can Lord Chang'an's subordinates endure it?

Wei Liao opened his mouth: "Your Majesty! This, this, this..."

Wei Liao wanted to persuade Ying Zheng again.

But Wei Liao didn't know what to say.

If Ying Zheng died in Xianyang City, then the throne of Qin would be seamlessly transferred to Ying Chengyu, who was leading the troops outside, and Li Mu's strategy of killing the king and destroying the country failed.

Ying Chengyu, who personally led the army outside, was fully capable of ensuring his own safety under the threat of Zhao Jun, and was also capable of suppressing all dissatisfaction in the country.

His influence in the military, clan and court, as well as his own military exploits, can also help him ascend the throne smoothly.

Although Ying Chengyuan has a lazy temperament and knows nothing about government affairs and court disputes, his abilities are stronger than those of Fusu and other young masters.

Ying Chengyu's military abilities can even help Da Qin survive its most dangerous period of weakness.

Sacrifice one Ying Zheng to preserve the Qin's national power to the maximum extent, and leave it to Ying Chengxuan to regroup after he succeeds to the throne.

For Da Qin, this is indeed the best way to break the situation under the current situation!

Seeing that the ministers were speechless, Ying Zheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in a firm voice: "I am just considering the worst."

"My Great Qin soldiers are brave and brave!"

"Even if the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, as long as we lead the soldiers to defend Xianyang City, we will have the opportunity to delay the war until the reinforcements return and the victory arrives."

"My dear friends, you don't have to worry about me."

"We should immediately arrange for officials at all levels to head to Yongcheng in Guizhou!"

No one answered the order.

Emotion and reason collide in their minds.

No one dared to be the first to stand up and support Ying Zheng's suicidal strategic plan.

Upon seeing this, Ying Zheng stood up and said, "I have made up my mind, there is no need for further discussion."

"The doctor ordered me to prepare a decree and deliver it immediately."

"Retreat!"

……

The monarchs and ministers of Great Qin felt heavy.

At the same time, the bloody atmosphere in Helu City persisted for a long time.

Ying Chengyu stepped on a lake of blood under his feet, and his heart was very heavy.

"The people in sixteen cities including Chencheng, Xiangcheng, Shouchun, etc. rebelled, eight cities have been suppressed, five cities asked for help, and three cities fell."

"Thirty-seven clans, including the Zhao family, the Qu family, and the Dou family, sent soldiers from their own families to harass our army's rear, cut off the supplies and burn the countryside."

"There are also at least 100,000 scattered bandits roaming around, taking advantage of the chaos to burn and kill."

"Xiang Yan retreated to Kuaiji County. In the name of revenge for the King of Chu, he has recruited 40,000 troops and intends to go north to fight again!"

Listening to the military report recited by Yang Hu, Ying Chengyu said coldly:

"This is because I think the sword is no longer good for me!"

Ying Chengyu is so angry!

In just five days since the capture of Helu City, two small-scale rebellions have broken out in Helu City.

Although the scale is not large and the number of people is not large, the sense of danger caused by being stabbed at any time makes Ying Chengyu quite irritated.

Just now, Ying Chengyu had just suppressed the second rebellion, and before he even had time to clean up the battlefield, he heard bad news pouring in from all over the place.

Ying Chengyu's patience has been worn out!

I really want to be an honest general and not cause trouble to Da Qin and Brother Wang.

As a result, you are so shameless!

Wang Jian comforted him with a gentle voice: "Calm down! Chang'an Lord, calm down!"

"Our army is currently only preparing to take the territory north of the Yangtze River and has no intention of destroying the country."

"The chaos in cities south of the Yangtze River has nothing to do with our army."

"Besides, we are generals. We only need to ensure that there is no fighting in various places and that the situation can be handed over to the court officials safely."

"The rest is all official affairs!"

Wang Jian was not happy either.

But Wang Jian understands the "Qin Code" better than the legal officials!

Wang Jian knew very well his rights and responsibilities as a general.

It is his responsibility to safely hand over the city to the officials who will take over later, and the rest is not under his control!

Ying Chengyu slowly grasped the hilt of the sword: "If you don't govern the people, there will be frequent wars in various places, and we will still need to govern them."

"Instead of waiting until chaos breaks out in the future to deal with it, it's better to deal with it as soon as possible!"

"The rebellious common people everywhere are provoking the majesty of our Great Qin. I, General An Neng, just sit back and ignore them!"

"Pass this general's order!"

"The three divisions of Commander Xifeng, Commander Mengnan, and Commander Zhuangqiu marched to the east, west, and north respectively."

"Any citizen of our country who is suspected of causing rebellion will be killed immediately without any need to report!"
