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

Chapter 145 Emperor's Fate
Chen Bing's frontier fortress in Yan State, this move has attracted much attention.

The country that got the news first was Qin, followed by Zhao.

This is entirely due to Qin's means of inquiring about intelligence capabilities.

The espionage organizations of various countries basically cannot be compared with Qin's watchdogs.

Champion House.

After Ying Yuan heard the news, he sent someone to inform the king of Yan Guo's movements overnight, and then told Suzaku: "In the next few days, martial law will be imposed in Xianyang City, and I will order the guards in the city to closely guard Zhao Guo. Let the mission watch over, and don’t let Guo Kai know about Yan’s affairs.”

Yan Guo sent troops to gather at the border with Zhao Guo. This matter, the direction of Handan, will definitely notify Guo Kai.

And once Guo Kai was notified, he would definitely take some action, and even take the lead in deciding to delay the peace talks. After all, the peace talks under the circumstances of Yan State's attack on Zhao State would definitely not benefit Zhao State.

That being the case, Ying Yuan had no choice but to strike first.

He entered the palace late at night.

At the same time, Li Si, Wang Wan, and Wei Liao entered Zhangtai Palace together.

When Ying Yuan arrived, all three of them, without exception, bowed to him respectfully, "I have seen the champion."

He personally helped the three of them up, then looked at Ying Zheng, clasped his fists and said, "Your brother pays homage to the king."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Let's talk about it, this time Yan Guo attacked Zhao, should we join in the fun?"

This is also the reason why Ying Yuan put the whole city under martial law, wanted to keep Zhao Guo's messengers out of the city, and sent people to closely monitor Guo Kai.

It will be a wonderful opportunity for Yan Guo to attack Qin.

If it is used properly, I am afraid that this time it can directly attack Handan of Zhao State.

After all, now that Li Mu is dead, Lian Po also left Zhao State after having conflicts with Le Cheng, who had disappeared, and came to Daliang City of Wei State.

In other words, the current state of Zhao has no generals available.

Coupled with the loss of soldiers and generals during the attack on Hangu Pass, if this opportunity can be seized, Zhao Guo may suffer from the disaster of annihilation.

Since it is necessary to discuss whether to attack Zhao, it is better to shelve the peace talks for the time being.

Once Guo Kai is informed of Yan State's movements, he will either return to Handan to defend against the enemy, and may be informed of Qin State's actions in advance; prediction.

Since this kind of thing might happen, it's better not to let him know in advance.

On the way back, Ying Yuan had already figured out a strategy to deal with it, "Back to the king, my brother thinks that there are only two ways to go at this moment. One is to hoard troops on the border. After the country of Yan launches a war against the country of Zhao, we You can take advantage of the situation. Second, only hoard troops, while preparing to fight, while maximizing the benefits of the peace talks. Also take advantage of this opportunity to recover more than ten surrounding city gates such as Shouling. This move will start the national war possibility is minimized.”

According to his thinking, at that moment, the initiative will basically be in Qin's hands.

However, in this way, there will be another war.

And it is still united with Yan.

Ever since Yan Dan returned to Qin, declared a break with Ying Zheng, and assassinated Ying Yuan in Jicheng of Yan State, basically, Qin State and Yan State had no contact with each other.

Although it was due to the situation that they joined forces to attack Zhao this time, no matter what, it made the brothers of the Ying family feel a little uncomfortable.

Now I'm afraid that Yandan will make something wrong because of the hatred between each other after Qin's army is mobilized.

Ying Zheng is also thinking about this matter.

Yan Dan has a capricious personality and is a hypocrite.

It's okay to attack Zhao together with him, as long as we have a tacit understanding with each other. If we once unite with Zhao to attack Qin, I'm afraid...
Thinking of this, Yingzheng said: "From the point of view of a few people, it is not suitable to attack Zhao now. It is the second method you mentioned, which can make me, Daqin, a windfall in this matter. As for a full-scale war, launch In the national war, we must be cautious."

He said so, instead of immediately making a decision and implementing the second method, in fact, he also wanted to launch a full-scale invasion of Zhao Guo in his heart.

I'm just afraid that Yandan will develop something strange from it, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

The current state of Qin still needs to develop its internal affairs for a year or two, or calm down the aftermath of the Battle of Hangu Pass before it can launch a major battle. Even if it is defeated, it will not fall into the same embarrassing situation as Zhao State .

Knowing his concerns, Li Si said, "Why don't I send someone to get in touch with this Yan Dan? See if he can join us, Great Qin, in attacking Zhao?"

"Your Majesty, based on what you have seen, you should immediately send troops to guard the Hangu Pass area, and wait for the time to move. In addition, send someone to contact Yan Dan to see what he is thinking. Cooperation, according to the intention of Champion Hou, take the opportunity to seize Shouling."

Wei Liao also gave his own suggestion.

According to the historical records, Wei Liao did not contribute much to Qin.

Probably just provided Yingzheng with a piece of strategic thinking and the development of the war situation. Besides, as a national lieutenant, he did not personally lead the army to fight against other countries.

There is also a saying that he personally formulated the macro-strategic thinking for Yingzheng to unify the world, and first proposed to destroy Korea with Li Si.

In addition, he also made outstanding contributions to the reform of Qin's military system. Unfortunately, the shortcomings of Qin's military system have not been completely eliminated. In addition, he also proposed the theory of military management, which once improved the combat effectiveness of the Great Qin soldiers.

But this matter has yet to be verified.

In any case, the only thing that cannot be questioned is his outstanding ability.

Otherwise, from Ying Zheng's vicious eyes, it would be impossible for him to be appointed as a national captain.

According to legend, Wei Liao knew how to divination by face. When he first met Ying Zheng, he saw that Ying Zheng had the appearance of an emperor, but he was a temperamental person. He was afraid of being harmed in the future, so he wanted to leave Xianyang several times.

But Li Si stopped him every time.

It wasn't until he was made a national captain that he decided to stay in Qin and do things for Yingzheng.

"Well, what do you think, who will lead the troops in Hangu this time?" Ying Zheng asked.

Ying Yuan didn't say anything.

In the previous battle at Hangu Pass, he gained all his fame and fortune.

This time, it is not appropriate to volunteer or recommend others.

After having this idea, even he himself didn't realize that whenever he talked to Ying Zheng, he would start to squeak, and there would be nothing to say.

In the end, Wang Wan recommended a person who won the approval of Ying Yuan and Ying Zheng. This person was Meng Tian.

After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Li Si and Wang Wan still had some government affairs to deal with, so they did not go back home with Wei Liao and Ying Yuan.

The latter two are actually not familiar with each other.

"I was rescued by General Huanju that day, and I have been hiding in the secret room. It is a pity that I could not see the demeanor of the champion Hou bloody battle at the city gate."

Perhaps they were walking together but the two were speechless, which seemed awkward, or maybe Wei Liao intended to get close to Ying Yuan, in short, the former started to flatter the latter.

"It's just a man's courage, why should the captain care about it?" Ying Yuan smiled faintly.

Wei Liao thought over and over again, a look of hesitation and hesitation caught his eyes, so he simply asked, "I don't know if Mr. Guowei has anything to say?"

Hearing the sound, Wei Liao was startled, bowed deeply and said, "This word 'adult', I would never dare to take it as a lowly job, but a lowly job knows some skills of physiognomy, looking at your face, it looks like a crape myrtle, it's really weird "

He said these words on a whim, and when he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, he quickly shut his mouth.

Ying Yuan frowned, "Is there any enmity between this Marquis and Lord Wei?"

"It's low-level nonsense, low-level nonsense."

Wei Liao apologized and said with a smile: "Master Hou, don't worry too much, I just said it casually, I apologize to Lord Hou."

At this moment, cold sweat was streaming down his forehead.

Obviously, he was frightened by Ying Yuan's murderous tone.

Whether this matter is big or small, fortunately, there are only the two of them here.

Wei Liao didn't know what happened today, anyway, after observing Ying Yuan's face carefully, he became more surprised.

The king already has the fate of an emperor, and this champion, unexpectedly also has the fate of an emperor.

One country, but also brothers, how is it possible?

This phenomenon only appeared in ancient times.

However, the ancient times were the age of myths!

According to legend, the two brothers Taikang and Zhongkang both had the fate of emperors.

It's just that Champion Hou's imperial destiny still lacks some things to assist him, so that he can absorb the spirit of Ziwei and possess the luck of an emperor. Unlike Yingzheng, whose fate is natural and impeccable, he is destined to crush everything.

Seeing that he was going to make a grand ceremony, Ying Yuan immediately helped him up, and said solemnly: "Master Wei Liao, if you want me to die, why should you do so?"

This time Wei Liao was completely frightened, regardless of his support, he immediately wanted to kneel down.

But how could Ying Yuan let him do what he wished?

He tightly held Wei Liao's wrist, and said in a low voice but full of threats: "If Master Wei Liao can't control this mouth, then this Marquis will tear it to pieces himself."

"Yes, yes, the humble official must pay attention, must pay attention."

Wei Liao bowed again and again.

He was originally a person who was neither humble nor overbearing.

But for some reason, in front of Ying Yuan, he didn't have any confidence at all, and his heart kept beating out of fear.

Ying Yuan ignored him, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Wei Liao followed closely.

After walking halfway, Ying Yuan couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily, "Guowei's Mansion seems to be on a different path from Hou's Mansion, right?"

Wei Liao hesitated, didn't dare to look at him, and didn't even say a complete sentence for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Ying Yuan felt angry, "What do you want to say?"

Wei Liao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying his best to calm down his emotions. After thinking about it, he felt that if he didn't ask this question, he would definitely feel regretful in his heart, so regardless of the danger, he blurted out and asked: "Dare to ask Lord Hou, would you Are there any strange people or things around you?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

The carriage stopped right in front, Ying Yuan was really impatient.

Wei Liao came to him and looked around carefully like a thief. After finding that there was no one there, he whispered: "For example, is there a person who makes people feel very arrogant, since compared to ancient sages, In fact, it is not arrogance, but it is true that there is something hidden in the heart, and it is the talent of Wang Zuo, or that there are great wise men and great saints who secretly accompany Lord Hou?"

He looked at Ying Yuan's calm expression, without fluctuation at all, and he didn't feel like there was such a person by his side. After all, if there was, at least, his expression would not be as calm as it is now, there should be some Subtle changes, like surprise?

Thinking of this, he frowned and continued to ask: "What kind of strange species is there? Like a unicorn? A peerless horse? Or a rare treasure of heaven and earth? A treasure like He's Bi?

Or step on seven stars?Even if you have seven scars on your body?It happens to be similar to the arrangement patterns of stars such as Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Tianyang and Yaoguang."

When he said "stepping on the seven stars", he was bowing his head and counting his fingers, as if he was recalling the name of the seven stars, for fear that he would say less or repeat, so he didn't notice that Ying Yuan had gone far.

And the latter didn't hear him talk about Qixing at all.

Gradually, Wei Liao stared at Ying Yuan's back in despair, and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard two words from the other party,
"ill."

Hearing the sound, he frowned, frowned, and murmured: "There is nothing? Isn't that right? There is nothing, his face, logically speaking, it is impossible to have the luck of the emperor! Could it be my physiognomy Haven’t learned yet? Did you miss it this time?”

He fell into deep self-doubt.

Gradually lost self-confidence.

From then on, I no longer show people.

Until one day, he was talking loudly to others like a madman.
Others only thought that he was really stupid.
