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

Chapter 953 Chapter 953 The one who understands me the most hurts me the most! Unify first, then govern?

February 2, the sixteenth year of Qin Shi Huangdi’s reign.

Da Qin, Xianyang City.

A wisp of outrageously strong smell of class and resentment emanated from the head of every Qin official, taking away a few precious hairs along with them.

There were several more assistant ministers in the imperial study, who would walk around the room carefully and low from time to time, trying their best not to alarm the emperor and his ministers of the Qin Dynasty while brushing away the long hair and fine pearl powder on the floor.

But not long after each twist, new hair and pearl powder would be scattered from the heads and eyes by the ministers who were arguing fiercely and making loud remonstrations, forcing the ministers to once again avoid it like cats and clean up quickly.

Finally, a loud shout shattered the suffocating low pressure in the imperial study.

"Report! The Prime Minister of Dai is waiting outside the palace gate and presenting the handwritten letter of the King of Dai to the King for his personal reading!"

He threw Wei Liao's advice behind his head, turned around and looked outside the palace, his eyes shining as he said, "Prime Minister Dai has come here to request a truce!"

"I ask the king to order the minister to quickly deliver the king's handwritten letter!"

Lu Buwei immediately cupped his hands and said, "I second the motion!"

Before Ying Zheng could answer, several shouts came from outside the hall.

"Report! Yan Xiangke has entered the city, and his entourage of envoys has gone to the Yan State's residence. Yan Xiangke is personally leading the envoys to the palace!"

"Report! Urgent report on the military situation of General Wu's troops!"

"Report! Urgent report on the military situation of Lord Chang'an!"

"Report! Handan County Magistrate Wan has an urgent report on the military situation!"

"Report..."

The Minister outside the Palace kept spewing out good news that was exciting to everyone like a Gatling gun.

Many important ministers, including Lu Buwei and Wei Zhuang, stood up unconsciously and looked at Ying Zheng with expectation.

Ying Zheng couldn't wait to shout, "Send it quickly!"

The door of the imperial study opened, Meng Yi strode down the stage and rushed directly towards Dan Fu, who was in the lead.

After snatching the bamboo tube from Dan Fu's hand, Meng Yi checked the seal while running. When he ran back to Ying Zheng's side, he had already cut the bamboo tube open and presented it with both hands.

Ying Zheng quickly took the bamboo tube, took out the thicker bamboo slip from the tube and unfolded it. After quickly scanning it with his eyes, he laughed heartily: "Love! Love! Big win!"

"You are worthy of being my younger brother!"

"You are worthy of being the Lord of Chang'an of the Great Qin!"

"I am very relieved!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's hearty laughter, Wei Liao and other ministers felt much more at ease.

What Chang'an Jun brought back should be good news.

But the strong urgency and worry made their hearts feel like being scratched by a kitten, making them feel very itchy.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng smiled even more brightly, handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Meng Yi, and said with a little arrogance: "Meng, my dear minister, report the Chang'an army to the other dear ministers!"

Meng Yi hurriedly took the bamboo slips with both hands and read aloud: "On September 15, the 15th year of King Qin's reign, the three kingdoms of Dai, Yan, and Qi ignored the people's hope for peace and brazenly sent troops to invade the territory of our Great Qin. I obey the king's order and lead the army to resist the foreign enemies and protect the people of our Great Qin!"

"On the twentieth day of the tenth month in the sixteenth year of the reign of Qin, I fought with the enemy at Du Kang and won."

"On the tenth day of the twelfth month, I followed the king's order to 'attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi', and on that day I moved my camp south to Qi territory."

"I thought a great battle was about to begin, but I never imagined that the people of Qi had long admired your kindness and welcomed you with food and drink! The Qi army was grateful for your righteousness and put away their weapons and armor and followed you! The King of Qi was in awe of your majesty and surrendered with his bare chest and a jade tablet in his mouth!"

"On the twentieth day of the twelfth month, I arrived in Linzi. Without sending a single soldier or firing a single arrow, the entire territory of Qi was returned to Qin!"

"I just now understand why those who are righteous have many supporters! And why those who are benevolent are invincible!"

"I, your humble servant, congratulate the king! Congratulations to the Great Qin!"

Hearing this, Lu Buwei and other court officials all twitched their eyes.

Yes, the court did issue a royal order to "attack Dai, weaken Yan, and destroy Qi."

But what exactly was the reason for this royal order, and whether the court hoped that Ying Chengjiao could really fulfill the royal order, all had been told to Ying Chengjiao in detail by Zhao Gao. Ying Chengjiao should be very clear that the Qin Dynasty was only threatening the three countries of Dai, Yan and Qi to prevent them from asking to become Qin's vassal!

The court just wants to make some harsh remarks!
Why do you carry out the harsh words spoken by the court so thoroughly!

As for the so-called long-admired benevolence of Qin Shi Huang and gratitude for Qin Shi Huang's righteousness, it is pure nonsense. Who doesn't know that the powerful and noble class of Qi State despises and discriminates against Qin? Who doesn't know that the literati of Qi State all think that the king is a tyrant?
Only the power of Ying Zheng is somewhat reliable.

But what the State of Qi was impressed by was not the power of Ying Zheng, but the notorious reputation of Ying Chengjiao, who was at the gates of the city and about to storm into it!

Only Wei Liao blushed and couldn't help but exclaimed in excitement: "Jackpot! Big win!"

Wei Zhuang couldn't help but glance sideways, with a bit of sympathy in his eyes.

It’s over.

The great Qin general was eventually driven crazy by Lord Chang'an!
Wei Liao clapped his hands and praised: "Those who are righteous have many supporters! The benevolent are invincible! Chang'an Jun's words are very good!"

"I advise you! The Great Qin should make Chang'an Jun's words known to everyone in the world. In this battle, the Great Qin did not destroy Qi, but won Qi with benevolence and righteousness without sacrificing a single soldier!"

"In the name of justice, our Great Qin must shoulder the responsibility!"

As he praised loudly, Wei Liao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Before the expedition, he wrote a military report to make Daqin firmly stand on the commanding heights of justice.

Now that the war is over, he did not forget to use another military report to let Daqin continue to stand on the commanding heights of justice.

This is truly fighting for justice!
You are worthy of being Chang'an Jun, the one who hurt me the most but also the one who understands me the best!
Ying Zheng didn't hide his smile at all and nodded, "Okay!"

"Yes, this matter should be discussed after you, my dear minister, have read the military report."

Wei Liao then realized that he was too excited. He quickly bowed to apologize and turned back to sit down.

Meng Yi hurriedly quickened his speech and continued to recite: "On January 6, the King of Dai once again tore up his alliance with Yan and Qi, and took advantage of Qi's surrender to force the young and strong who could not bear the war to join the Dai army."

"After forcibly recruiting young and strong men, the King of Dai became even more tyrannical and violent. He even divided his troops into two groups and wanted to attack Qin and Yan at the same time, causing the flames of war to spread across the world!"

"I order General Wu, General Duanhe, Deputy General Ben, the governor of Handan County Wang Wan, the governor of Hengshan County... to lead an army of 500,000 to Hongshang Pass to besiege King Jia of Dai. I will personally lead an army of 180,000 to the north to Jicheng to prepare for a major battle."

"Yes! There are many people in the world who are in favor of peace. More than 200,000 former Qi soldiers risked their lives to fight rather than help Zhou to commit atrocities. Many former Qi soldiers have taken the initiative to return to our Great Qin."

"I deeply feel that the people of the world are tired of war, so I have privately discussed with Dai and Yan about stopping the fighting."

"Fortunately, the ambitious people of Dai and Yan also assisted me in lobbying the kings of Dai and Yan, and finally they agreed."

"Soon, the envoys from Dai and Yan will arrive in Xianyang."

"I advise Qin, Dai, and Yan to stop fighting and give the people a chance to rest and recuperate!"

"I will also prepare my horses and soldiers, and I am ready to fight for you at any time, even if I die!"

"On the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the sixteenth year of the reign of Qin, Prince Chengjiao of Chang'an came to pay homage to the king from afar in the south of Jicheng!"

The more he thought about it, the harder Meng Yi's scalp became.

Were those people with lofty ideals from Dai and Yan helping Chang'an Jun lobby the King of Dai and the King of Yan?

It was obvious that the King of Yan sent envoys to ask for peace from Chang'an Jun, and Chang'an Jun then led his troops north to force the King of Dai to ask for peace!

And let's hear where you, Chang'an Jun, sent this military report.

South of Jicheng!
Even if our Great Qin really spreads this military report throughout the world as the national captain advised, how many people will believe what it says?
Han Cang exclaimed with deep emotion: "Chang'an Jun, you are truly kind and righteous!"

Most of the court officials looked at Han Cang.

It turns out that there are people who actually believe it!!!

Han Cang asked in confusion, "My colleagues, don't you think so?"

Chang'an Jun grew up under my watch, and he truly longs for peace!
The corners of Wei Zhuang's mouth twitched and he forced a smile: "This lord, I think so too!"

Not daring to talk about this topic any more, Wei Zhuang immediately changed the subject and said, "Chang'an Jun advised to stop the war, but I think now is not the time to stop the war!"

"This war was originally planned to last at least half a year. This war would severely damage the troops of Dai, Yan, and Qi, so that the three countries would not dare to raise troops to harass our Great Qin again, and give our Great Qin an opportunity to develop."

"Yes! This battle happened only four months ago. Although Qi is now dead, Dai has gained hundreds of thousands of young men from Qi, and also got Yuyang of Yan."

"I think we should take this opportunity to form an alliance with Yan and further weaken Dai's combat-capable forces, so that Dai will not dare to look west for at least ten years!"

The so-called attack on Dai, weakening Yan, and destroying Qi were just harsh words.

The real strategic purpose of the Qin Dynasty in this war is to weaken the vitality of the three countries of Dai, Yan and Qi!
As a result, the harsh words have come true, but the real strategy of the Qin Dynasty in this war has not yet been realized!

Then this battle would be a failure for the Qin Dynasty!

However, Lu Buwei, who had been the most supportive of Ying Chengjiao's expedition, said without hesitation: "I agree with Lord Chang'an's proposal!"

"This battle happened only four months ago, and Lord Chang'an has already destroyed Qi."

"If this war continues, I do not doubt that Chang'an Jun can complete the King's Order, but I think that Chang'an Jun will complete the King's Order so well that my Great Qin will have to take over the lands of Dai and Yan!"

Lu Buwei once thought that the most terrifying Ying Chengjiao was the Ying Chengjiao who lived in Neishi County.

God knows when Ying Chengjiao will come up with some black technology to put Daqin on the fast track of development. As long as the monarch and his ministers make an unstable operation, this huge chariot of Daqin will derail and overturn!

But now, Lu Buwei understood it completely.

The most terrifying Ying Chengjiao is the one who left Neishi County and had fun everywhere.

If there is an enemy country, he can really destroy it!

Wei Zhuang asked back: "So what?"

Lu Buwei:? ? ?

Touch your head first and see how many lost hairs you can touch out before you talk to me about this!
Wei Zhuang sighed softly and said in a deep voice: "I think that based on the character of the King of Dai, if the Dai Kingdom still has the strength to fight again, the King of Dai will definitely not be willing to live in disgrace."

"Instead, once Dai's national strength recovers a little, they will immediately send troops to attack Qin and cut off the opportunity for our Great Qin to develop."

"Even if Chang'an Jun didn't destroy the dynasty in this battle, he might destroy the dynasty in the next battle."

"I think that instead of looking back and forth, it is better to destroy Dai as soon as possible, or even destroy Yan in this battle!"

"Unify first, then govern!"

"It's a good idea!"
