Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 334 Take action quickly
  Ying Zheng's eyes closed slightly, and after thinking about it for a moment, he nodded and said:

"Okay, just follow General Wang's arrangements."

Wang Ye smiled slightly when he heard this, "Master Li Si is an envoy. His identity does not need to be concealed, and he is obviously related to Lu Buwei. With his existence as a cover, it is relatively easy for Mr. Shang to hide himself. "

"The general will arrange your camp, Mr. Shang, near the commander's tent. My most trusted soldiers will be responsible for guarding it. If there is a change, we can respond in the shortest possible time."

"Ha, the general is worthy of being our veteran general of the Qin Kingdom. He is indeed impeccable in his work." Ying Zheng's voice contained a hint of invisible smile as he complimented Wang Ye.

"Young Master Shang is so complimentary." Wang Ye stroked his messy beard and used his movements to hide his uncertain eyes.

Ying Zheng then ordered: "Those scouts should be guarded outside my camp first. They will not be allowed to leave and contact others. After all, they are also soldiers of my Great Qin. It would be unfair to die in the hands of one of my own people."

"...I understand, general." Wang Ye paused for a moment, but did not disobey Ying Zheng's decision.

...Half an hour later, the sky was completely dark. Under Wang Ye's arrangement, Gu Xun and others successfully moved into the tent.

However, everyone's tents are separated. Ying Zheng and Gai Nie live next to the commander's tent, and Li Si lives near Ying Zheng. They are not far away, but they are not right next to each other.

As for Gu Xun and a group of female relatives, they live in a more remote place, close to the rear wall of the village, and about a mile away from Ying Zheng and the others.

The excuse given by Wang Ye was that he did not expect so many people to come and did not make preparations in advance. It would be a bit eye-catching to temporarily add tents now, so he could only arrange it this way.

At this time, Ying Zheng, Gu Xun, Gai Nie, and Li Si gathered in Ying Zheng's camp.

They actually wanted to discuss matters in Gu Xun's camp, which was far away from the commander's tent, but Ying Zheng was really not suitable for showing up, so it was better to go out less often.

Those girls couldn't even come out. The sudden appearance of women in the military camp was too eye-catching, so Feiyan, who wanted to come and participate in the discussion, didn't come.

Fortunately, the few scouts outside are now more loyal to Ying Zheng and can keep an eye on Wang Ye's personal soldiers.

Ying Zheng sat behind the table at the top, with his hands on the table, and his deep gaze glanced below - Li Si, who was also kneeling upright, Gai Nie who was still alert, and who was leaning on the table, following him. Gu Xun is as broken as a bone.

"Do you think Wang Ye is trustworthy?"

Gu Xun lazily asked him again, "What do you think?"

Ying Zheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

In fact, before he actually met the person, he didn't particularly suspect that there was something wrong with Wang Ye, because it really didn't make sense.

Lu Buwei's influence in the army was average. Although he controlled some military power, most of the Qin State's important generals, especially some of the veteran generals who had experienced many dynasties, did not look down upon this rare commodity, Lu Xiangguo. Wang Ye is no exception.

Wang Ye, who used to be Bai Qi's deputy general, can be said that although his title is only the tenth level of Zuo Shu Zhang, in terms of ability, military exploits, and prestige, he is definitely at the forefront of the army, and there are no more than three people who can suppress him.

How could he join Lu Buwei? What reason does he have to join Lu Buwei?

But reality always slaps you in the face.

After the meeting, Wang Ye's performance can be said to be okay, but it can also be said that there are some minor problems everywhere.

As for the small problem, for Ying Zheng at this time, it was enough for him to distrust the other party.

Gai Nie looked at the speechless Ying Zheng and said loudly:

"Although the arrangement of the military camps is in line with the art of war, it does not take into account the situation faced by the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army at this time. It is not like what a veteran like Wang Yan would do." Li Si also followed up and said:

"Although the strategy proposed by Wang Ye is feasible and effective, it puts us in a passive situation and allows him to take the initiative. If he has no evil intentions, then Mr. Shang has no worries, but if there is..."

The words of both of them expressed their respective opinions from the side - there is a high probability that there is something wrong with Wang Ye.

"There's a problem... why?" Ying Zheng still couldn't figure it out. He really didn't know what reason Wang Ye had for helping Lu Buwei murder him.

"Ignoring his motives for doing this, we should think about what he would do." Gu Xun reminded.

He had no interest in wasting time on questions that Ying Zheng couldn't guess the answer to.

He didn't even know how to guide Wang Ye's nonsense reason for killing Ying Zheng in words.

To avenge Bai Qi, if you don’t kill King Zhaoxiang, why are you killing Ying Zheng? He was only one or two years old at that time!

Persimmons are soft when pinched, right?

Just outrageous!
  Li Si analyzed:
  "The Pingyang Heavy Armor Army as a whole will definitely not participate in the rebellion. The most likely person Wang Yan relies on is his three thousand personal soldiers."

"Right now, we are completely separated from the Chinese army camp, and we are isolated and helpless. As long as we are surrounded by his people,...well, theoretically, we cannot escape."

The reason why I use theory is because there is an unreasonable master like Gu Xun.

"Three thousand soldiers? So many?" Gu Xun said in surprise.

Having watched too much TV, he thought there wouldn't be too many private soldiers, only five or six hundred at most, but he didn't expect there to be thousands.

Li Si was kind enough to popularize science: "According to the military system of our Qin State, generals of five hundred or above can have one-tenth of their own personal bodyguards. The Pingyang Heavy Armor Army led by Wang Jue has a full strength of 30,000 people. Naturally, he has Three thousand soldiers."

Gai Nie calmly interjected:

"Even if they are personal soldiers, not all of them will be willing to follow Wang Ye in rebellion. There will only be a few hundred close followers at most."

"A few hundred people? Wang Ye should be able to see that a few hundred people can't defeat us, right?" Gu Xun asked again.

Li Si then gave an answer, "So he will find a way to prevent Wang...Shang Gongzi from revealing his identity."

"The only person who can truly prove Mr. Shang's identity right now is Sir Li Si, or rather the envoy's staff in your hand, Sir." Gai Nie turned his gaze to Li Si and added.

As for the King of Qin's seal, that thing can only be effective if it is in Li Si's hands and he can prove it himself. Ordinary big-headed soldiers don't know that kind of high-end stuff.

"So you can obviously live with Mr. Shang and Gai Nie, but you still have a separate tent." Gu Xun said the last thing.

Ying Zheng silently listened to the analysis of several people's words without making a sound. It was not until Gu Xun finished the above sentence that he asked with a smile:
  "Mr. Gu just forced Wang Ye repeatedly, for what reason? Even if he has a problem, simple words may not be able to expose his flaws."

Ying Zheng still had half a sentence to ask - especially why did you ask in such an offensive tone?

"I just want to stimulate him to take action as soon as possible so that I can deal with him, leave the military camp, and continue towards Xianyang."
