Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 414 The only loophole

The confrontation between Prince Wu Chen and Prime Minister Li Wei directly quieted the entire court.

Especially the ministers were full of thoughts and didn't know what to do for a while.After all, before Hengshan King Wu Rui spoke up, Prince Wu Chen and Prime Minister Li Wei were the most powerful people in the court.

Their words can affect the judgment of Hengshan King Wu Rui to a certain extent.

None of the ministers answered, and Hengshan King Wu Rui, who was also at the top, was also deep in thought, and did not express his position immediately.

Hengshan King Wu Rui was very clear about the thoughts and goals of Prince Wu Chen and Prime Minister Li Wei. He knew in his heart that all this was for the throne of Hengshan.

The supporter of Prime Minister Li Wei was not Prince Wu Chen, but Wu Yuan, the fifth prince.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Wu Rui took a deep look at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Huainan Wang Meizhen left and took away thirty thousand troops, so that there are only five thousand troops in Hengshan Kingdom."

"Even if Qin Emperor Hu Hai's army suffered heavy losses in the battle with Jiujiang Wang Yingbu in Liuxian County, their number must be far more than five thousand."

"Without an army of tens of thousands, Hu Hai would never dare to be so unscrupulous and give his credentials to Gu!"

Speaking of this, Wu Rui changed the subject: "So, I think the most important thing at the moment is to mobilize the army from Nanyang County to prevent accidents."

"As for Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, he is far away in Sanchuan County at the moment, and he is in the quagmire of war. At this moment, what our country needs to consider is how to survive, not how to hold Western Chu accountable in the future!"

Hengshan King Wu Rui is not an ordinary person. As a vassal king who rises with the wind, he has a very clear understanding of the current situation.

He knows better than the average person that only when he is in the present can he be qualified to talk about other things.

If the Hengshan Kingdom perishes, and he fails, he will completely lose all his capital.King Hengshan was well aware of this.

Because of this, Wu Rui attached great importance to Prince Wu Chen's opinion.In his opinion, Li Wei, Prime Minister of the State, is too selfish, and he only wants to push Wu Yuan to the position of prince.

But his understanding of the general trend of the world is far inferior to that of Prince Wu Chen.

Thinking of this, Wu Rui didn't care about Prime Minister Li Wei's increasingly ugly expression, and ordered decisively, "Prince, immediately send an order to General Jingshan to retreat from Nanyang County."

"At the same time, the prime minister will act as the envoy to negotiate with Huainan Wang Meijuan. As for the meeting with Qin Emperor Huhai, the crown prince will be in charge."

"No." With a nod of promise, Prince Wu Chen was overjoyed.For so many years, this is the first time that he has overwhelmed Li Wei, the Prime Minister of the country.

For him, this is a great victory.Not entering can make the crown prince's position more stable, and can also enhance the cohesion of the faction.

Because of this, Prince Wu Chen was full of joy at this moment.

Wu Chen knew that Wu Yuan, the fifth younger brother, was his greatest enemy, and Wu Yuan's mother country minister would be his greatest enemy in the Hengshan court.

Only by overthrowing Prime Minister Li Wei can he securely serve as the Crown Prince of Hengshan, and then inherit the throne.As long as Prime Minister Li Wei lives for a day, this matter will be full of danger.

……

"Your Majesty, there is news from the General from the Black Ice Terrace that Xiang Yu, Overlord of Western Chu, wants to meet His Majesty. At the same time, Wu Chen, Crown Prince of Hengshan Kingdom, also wants to meet His Majesty..."

Glancing at Hou San, Hu Hai's expression changed slightly.He knew that Wu Chen wanted to see him because of the crown prince's position, but it was a bit complicated for Xiang Yu to meet him.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, and he pondered for a moment. Hu Hai took a deep look at Hou San and said, "Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, wants to see me. I wonder if Heibingtai has any reason to say so?"

Hearing this, Hou San looked respectful, and said: "The general guessed that it was because the Overlord of Western Chu couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to make peace with Great Qin!"

"call……"

Letting out a long breath, Hu Hai rolled his eyes: "Through the black ice platform, the general sent an order: I promised to form an alliance with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, but the time and place need to be decided by me, Daqin."

After finishing speaking, Hu Hai pondered for a moment, before he said, "As for the crown prince of Hengshan Kingdom, Wu Chen, send our soldiers to bring him here."

"Yes!"

Watching Hou San leave, Hu Hai's eyes flickered.He knew in his heart that Wu Chen, the Prince of Hengshan, might be a breaking point for him.

As long as the Hengshan Kingdom withdraws its troops, Hu Hai will have absolute confidence in breaking through Linjiang and allowing the Great Qin Empire to gain another county.

……

It's just that Hu Hai also knows how difficult this is.This time the Great Qin came out, and the land that had been conquered was already large enough.

Whether it is Western Chu or any country, the strength of the Great Qin Empire will not increase rapidly in an instant, because this is a great threat to them.

And Hu Hai knew better that Xichu wanted to make peace at this time because they didn't want the Great Qin Empire to take advantage of it.

Similarly, this also means that Xichu has drawn the bottom line, that is, the Linjiang Kingdom cannot be destroyed.It's just that for the overall situation of the world, the Western Chu court obviously has extremely important things.

That is to divide Sanchuan County and Yingchuan County!

Hu Hai's eyes flickered, and he thought of a lot.When he set his eyes on Sanchuan County, Hu Hai immediately understood the plan of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

This is simply reaping the benefits of the fisherman!
Hu Hai knew that this must be the plan of his father, Fan Zeng. It wasn't that he underestimated Xiang Yu. With Xiang Yu's plan, it was impossible to formulate such an exquisite situation.

"Fan Zeng, do you think that I have no choice but to promise you?"

With a faint sigh, murderous intent flashed across Hu Hai's eyes.He knew that Fan Zeng was worthy of being one of the best strategists in this era, and that the Great Qin Empire couldn't escape such a plan and had to form an alliance.

From the news from the Black Ice Terrace, Hu Hai is naturally aware that the current Great Qin Empire is already a castle in the air.If the war does not end, I am afraid that the Qin Dynasty will be the first to collapse.

The situation in Xianyang forced Hu Hai to follow the route designed by Fan Zeng.Thinking of this, Hu Hai was secretly speechless.Such a means, such a layout, is indeed a scheming.

At this moment, while Hu Hai lamented Fan Zeng's sophistication, he was urgently thinking about a solution.After a long time, when Hu Hai's eyes fell on Linjiang Country, an idea quickly took shape.

He knew that Fan Zeng's strategy was not perfect.Even the most perfect plan in the world will have loopholes, and Fan Zeng's design this time is no exception.

The Linjiang Kingdom will be the only loophole in Fan Zeng's plan. As long as the Great Qin Empire wins the Linjiang Kingdom and negotiates with Western Chu at that time, the Great Qin will have more capital.

Thinking of this, Hu Hai had already made a decision in his heart.That was to give Fan Zeng a surprise.
