Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 129 Peace Talk
In the middle of the night, there was heavy rain outside the hall.

The hall is brightly lit.

Ying Zheng sat in front of the crowd.

Ge Nie stands on the side.

Li Si, Mi Qi, Meng Yi and the others came to the hall in a hurry after receiving the imperial edict, they all stood there with solemn expressions.

Only Ying Yuan sat on the futon, and his face was also extremely solemn.

If it was just about Ji Wuye, in fact, there was no need for so many people to come here.

However, just now, there was a sound of urgent battle coming from Hangu Pass.

Due to Huanju's improper command, Li Mu's army crossed the mountain road and detoured to Hangu Pass.

After everyone heard the news, their hearts were extremely heavy.

The importance of Hangu Pass to Qin is self-evident.

For about half a moment, no one came out to express their opinions on this matter. In the end, Ying Yuan was the first to say: "Early before this, my younger brother had sent someone to warn Huan Juan that Li Mu marched into Tongshui because of suspicion. Army, but he still did not follow his brother's suggestion, and still insisted on sending a large army to consolidate Tongshui.

As a result, the Hangu Pass mountain range was unguarded, and the enemy took advantage of it to enter. Now, the only way is to send more reinforcements, and it must be done quickly, without any delay. "

As soon as the words fell, Li Si said: "Master Hou, when the invincible invaded before, the mountains near Hangu Pass had never had any defenders. This sudden arrival of the Zhao army is really unexpected. Moreover, Hangu Pass once In a battle, no enemy army has ever made such a risky move, so I don't think I can blame General Huanju for this battle."

Huan Yu is a general that Ying Zheng is optimistic about, so he naturally wants to excuse him.

However, Ying Yuan was not very optimistic about Huan Jue from the very beginning, "Chang Shi! You are indeed good at governing the country, but you still don't know anything about this war. This Huan Jue is self-willed. From the beginning, he thought he relied on letters. Guguan was dangerous, so he underestimated his opponent, but he didn't know that it was Li Mu!
According to the law of Qin, no matter what the reason is, the defeat before the war will be punished, and the current top priority is to solve the crisis at Hangu Pass. The younger brother thinks that this matter must be done quickly. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, other countries will also have changes. "

"But General Huanju." Li Si still wanted to argue.

However, before he could finish speaking, Ying Zheng interrupted, "Okay, Champion Hou is right, now we are not discussing who is at fault, but how to make up for this mistake."

Taking advantage of the situation, Ying Yuan stood up and said, "My younger brother suggests that my younger brother or General Wang Jian send troops to assist Hangu Pass!"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, thinking about it.

In the entire state of Qin, in terms of leading troops in battle, in his impression, no one is better than his own younger brother and Wang Jian. However, if they are allowed to gain military merit, I am afraid that the situation set by the military will change. .

General Mengwu's health is not as good as before, and it is getting worse.

In the final analysis, Meng Tian is also close to Ying Yuan, so it is inappropriate to send him there.

What's more, if he is sent there, it is still unknown whether he can defeat Li Mu.

It's really a dilemma.

"Let's discuss this matter with the ministers tomorrow at the court meeting."

After a pause, Ying Zheng looked at Ying Yuan's disappointed expression, and said, "About Ji Wuye, let him disappear completely."

He had already made a decision, and he still planned to help Han Fei.

In fact, in Ying Yuan's heart, he is more willing to see Ji Wuye alive.

Only if he is alive can he check and balance Han Fei's hidden dragon.

Of course, Ying Zheng has always been very confident in Qin's strength. Even if Han Fei is in South Korea, it is insignificant.

After returning home, Ying Yuan sent someone to Xinzheng to deliver a letter, telling the Chaos court what it was thinking.

Although this matter was resolved, for him, there was another matter that caused him a headache.

In the palace tonight, he clearly felt that Ying Zheng didn't want him to lead the army.

I don't know where the problem is.

Perhaps, as the king, he has his concerns.

That night, Ying Yuan had no sleep.

Not only him, but even Ying Zheng couldn't sleep peacefully.

He was worried about the battle at Hangu Pass, as for who should be sent to the battle, he never had a definite idea in his mind.

Tonight is Li Qiu's bedtime.

For some reason, Ying Zheng, who used to be strictly forbidden to prevent the harem from interfering in politics, suddenly asked her, "The battle at Hangu Pass is urgent, and Champion Hou volunteered to invite Ying. Do you think I should let him go?"

Recently, Li Qiu knew that the king intended to alienate the champion, and even reduce his power, but since the king asked, she had no scruples, and said bluntly: "If the champion wants to go, let him go."

"Oh?"

Ying Zheng shook his head and said with a smile, "Why do you think so?"

He regretted it a little now, why did he ask her such a question.

Li Qiu continued: "Although these days, my concubine has heard that you and the champion are not in harmony, but in the end, he is your younger brother, and the battle at Hangu Pass is no small matter, rather than letting outsiders lead the army , it is better to let Champion Hou go."

Ying Zheng didn't reply, just nodded lightly.

He was thinking about what Li Qiu said just now, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he found it.

"Champion Hou wanted to go, so let him go. '

That's right, his own brother, if he wants to go, he can just go.

Why do you have to try every means to weaken the strength of your own brother?

It is better to let him come than to let those outsiders take power.

If you can't trust your own brothers, what else can you trust in the whole world?
The next day, the meeting.

Outside the Zhangtai Palace, everyone was talking about it.

Yingzheng closed his eyes and meditated on the throne.

Today, I want them to quarrel and make trouble.

He wants to see if those outsiders who are reused can figure out a good way.

The sun was rising three poles, but Ying Zheng remained unmoved.

Ying Yuan was very anxious.

It's such a time, and every time there is a delay, the border customs will have to take an extra moment of risk.

Ying Zheng naturally noticed his anxious expression, but he still didn't say anything.

"Report! Urgent report! Urgent report!"

At this moment, the sound of scouts sounded outside the palace.

Ying Zheng let him into the palace directly.

When the scouts entered the palace, he felt rather uneasy, fearing that there was another problem at Hangu Pass.

He entered the palace, knelt down on one knee directly to Yingzheng, and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the border is in danger, and the Zhao army will not attack. The enemy general Li Mu has sent an envoy to contact General Huanju, and they plan to discuss with our army. Regarding the peace talks, General Huanju sent a humble official to Xianyang to deliver a letter."

As soon as the words were closed, the whole hall was once again in an uproar.

peace talks?

The enemy's victory is in sight, and peace talks at this time?
Hearing this news, everyone was not very calm.

On the contrary, Ying Yuan looked normal.

In fact, he had already received news that Guo Kai was putting pressure on King Zhao.

It is said that once the Qin State is completely angered, there may be a national war.

As a result, Zhao Wangyan temporarily changed his mind and did not intend to fight Qin.

That's why he ordered Li Mu, who was in sight of victory, to surround and not fight, forcing Qin to surrender.

However, this also gave Ying Yuan enough buffer time.

However, when Hangu Pass was besieged, he didn't know whether Guo Kai's pressure on Zhao Wang would be effective.

Now it seems that Zhao Wang is really worried about the expansion of the impact of the result of this battle.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Ying Yuan spoke up,

"Back to the king, since the enemy army wants to talk, let's talk, talk and fight at the same time! While talking about peace, delay Li Mu's attack speed, and at the same time gather a large army, and send a letter to Guguan with lightning speed surrounded!
At that time, whether to talk or fight, everything will be decided by Qin Guo! "
