I, the sheriff of Daqin, caught the sword master at the beginning

Xianyang Palace, Imperial Study.

Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian's battle report with a frown on his face.

Meng Tian's troops had been surrounded for a whole night. If they still couldn't get support, the morale of the army would surely quickly fall apart.

By then, the possibility of breaking out would be greatly reduced, and the losses would be heavy.

The most important thing was that Wang Jian's support was still being held tightly by Li Mu.

If support didn't arrive within three days, Meng Tian's troops would run out of ammunition and food, and would surely be annihilated.

If that were the case, Qin's pace of conquering the six kingdoms would be greatly slowed down.

"Xiongnu, when I conquer the six kingdoms, I will definitely drive you out of my nine provinces."

Ying Zheng's right hand slowly tightened, and the parchment scroll in his palm gradually shrank and finally turned into powder.

It can be seen how angry Ying Zheng was in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Huo Qubing requests to see you."

At this time, Zhao Gao suddenly walked in and said,

"What's the matter with him?" Ying Zheng asked, his frown finally relaxing a little.

""Your Majesty, he wants to see you alone, saying he has something important to tell you."

Zhao Gao's expression did not change, but he was very confused.

Ying Zheng had asked Huo Qubing to escort Yan Dan to Xianyang before.

But Huo Qubing came alone this time, and Yan Dan was not seen.

In other words, he came for other matters.

"Let him in!"

Ying Zheng didn't think much about it. Since Huo Qubing said he had something important to tell him, he would definitely not lie to him.

There would be no harm in meeting him.

""Yes!" Zhao Gao bowed his head and turned to bring Huo Qubing in.

He took the initiative to put the plum blossom spear outside.

He also knew the rules.

"I heard that you have something important to discuss with me?"

"I wonder what's going on?"

Ying Zheng looked up at Huo Qubing and asked in confusion.

""Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and I want to discuss it with you in secret."

Huo Qubing bowed, his meaning was very clear.

"Zhao Gao, you go down!"

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao and drove him out.

""I will take my leave!"

Zhao Gao glanced at Huo Qubing, and a hint of viciousness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Huo Qubing actually dared to use Ying Zheng's hand to drive him out, how could he not be angry?

"Can you tell me now?"

Zhao Gao closed the door and asked.

""Your Majesty, I am here on the orders of the county magistrate to ask Your Majesty to grant me the sword of heaven."

Huo Qubing said calmly, his expression unchanged.

"Tianwen Sword?"Ying Zheng frowned again.

"What do you want the Tianwen Sword for?"

""Report to the king!" Huo Qubing said:"I can save Meng Tian and drive back the Xiongnu."

"What?"Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"How do you save Meng Tian?"

"How many troops are needed to repel the Xiongnu?"

Huo Qubing said nothing, but slowly stretched out a finger.

"One hundred thousand?" Ying Zheng said subconsciously:"Meng Tian's army of 200,000 was defeated by the Xiongnu, what's the use of having one hundred thousand soldiers?"

"Your Majesty is wrong!" Huo Qubing shook his head:"We don't need so many people!"

"......"Ying Zheng was stunned.

He thought Huo Qubing asked for too little, but it turned out that he asked for too much.

This guy is too boastful.

"If it’s not one hundred thousand, could it be ten thousand?"

"Don't you want to make me happy?"

""I can't stand such a joke now."

Ying Zheng said, sighing slightly in his heart.

Huo Qubing's strength is indeed very strong, but he is still too arrogant.

Therefore, Ying Zheng is no longer interested in listening.

He will not use arrogant and complacent people.

Zhao Kuo's defeat, which led to the killing of 400,000 Zhao troops, is still vivid in his mind. How could Ying Zheng use such a person?

"Your Majesty, I did not lie."

Huo Qubing guessed what Ying Zheng was thinking and said,"Moreover, the army I want is not 10,000, but 1,000!"

"To defeat the Xiongnu's 100,000 cavalry, a thousand elite soldiers are enough"

"Snap~！"Ying Zheng slapped the table and suddenly became angry.

"Huo Qubing, you are indeed very powerful"

"Your county magistrate has indeed done many unexpected things."

"However, war is no joke and there is no room for error."

"Did you know?"

"I know!" Huo Qubing's expression remained calm.

"Now that you know this, don't make such jokes."

"I am not in the mood for this now."

Ying Zheng said angrily, swinging his right hand slightly.

"Go back!"

"I dare not employ people who talk too much."

"Yes!" Huo Qubing bowed, turned around and left without any hesitation.

"Wait a minute!" Before he even walked out of the room, Ying Zheng suddenly spoke and called out to Huo Qubing.

"What else did you adults say?"

"No!" Huo Qubing shook his head and said:

"My Lord only asked me to ask for the Heavenly Sword, to take over the Golden Fire Cavalry, and to drive out the Huns."

"this..."Ying Zheng frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Ying Zian had given him too many surprises in the past few days, and he wanted to trust Ying Zian a little.

However, this matter was too complicated, and he couldn't let it go.

"Forget it, I will trust you once and give you a thousand soldiers and the Heavenly Question Sword."

"I hope you won't let me down."

In the end, Ying Zheng decided to trust Ying Zi'an. He would just treat it as a last resort.
