My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

That afternoon.

The small court discussion in the imperial study room is still going on.

"I don't agree!" Han Cang raised his hands to Ying Zheng and admonished with a red face and a thick neck: "I will remonstrate to the king again, don't cede territory to seek peace!"

"That is the city that our warriors of the Qin Dynasty fought to the death to capture. Why should we give it to other countries for peace of mind!"

"How can such a cowardly act be worthy of the soldiers who fought hard for the Qin Dynasty!"

While speaking, Han Cang looked at the generals.

However, all he saw was a group of generals who looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, pretending to be wooden people.

Don't look at us! Ignore us! Don't ask us!

The only thing we have to do is fight. After the fight, what you like is none of our business!

Han Cang's momentum was stagnant, and he forced himself to hold back his emotions, and suddenly handed over his hands: "If you remonstrate again, your Majesty, please think again!"

Xiong Qi, the left prime minister, asked in a deep voice: "If we want to defend the territory when both Zhao and Wei send troops, we will need at least 250,000 troops."

"Han Shangqing, how many troops and horses do we still have enough food in the treasury to go to war?"

The excessive expenditures of Ying Chengyu's troops have already reduced the size of Da Qin's granary by a large margin.

Lao Ai's 200,000-strong army devoured the grain stored in the Bashu granary like gluttons.

If another 250,000 troops were sent, then Da Qin would put 500,000 troops on the battlefield in just one year!

The construction of Zheng Guo Canal has not yet been completed, and a new granary has not been formed in Guanzhong. How can it support such consumption?

Even if there is enough food, where will the soldiers come from?

Today, Da Qin simply does not have that many soldiers to fight with!

Han Cang did not jump into the hole dug by Xiong Qi, but instead replied: "I firmly believe that Lord Chang'an has never betrayed the Qin Dynasty."

"After my advice, the king issued an order to merge Laohuancheng's department into Chang'an Jun's department, with Chang'an Jun as the commander-in-chief and Laohuancheng as the deputy general."

"Three hundred thousand troops are stationed at the border. We can definitely defend the Qin territory without sending out any more troops!"

Han Cang's little idea was so obvious that Xiong Qi laughed mercilessly: "Let Lai Huancheng serve as the deputy general of Chang'an Lord?"

"Han Shangqing is afraid that Lao Huancheng will return to Xianyang City alive."

Han Cang's face turned even redder: "Mr. Changping, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"

On the high platform, Lu Buwei shouted in a deep voice: "Quiet!"

"There is no need to discuss the matter of ceding territory and seeking peace, it is settled as such."

"What you ministers need to consider is which cities to cede and in what way to which country will be most beneficial to our great Qin!"

"Han Shangqing, don't mess around anymore!"

Han Cang not only blushed, but also had red eyes.

Am I messing around?

If you, Lu Buwei, hadn't dismissed all the officials who were qualified to speak out and remonstrate with me among my Korean relatives, leaving only me as a single person, how could I personally come forward to bite him endlessly?

But the situation is stronger than the people.

When Lu Buwei expressed his attitude, Han Cang could only hand it over helplessly: "Wei!"

Han Cang was convinced, but Ying Zheng asked doubtfully: "Father Zhong, why do we, the Qin Dynasty, have to cede territory?"

Facing Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei patiently explained: "Your Majesty, the world has been afraid of our great Qin for a long time."

"Three years ago (Qin Li), the five kingdoms united to attack Qin, and that was already the fifth time the five kingdoms attacked Qin!"

"After many wars, Qin is exhausted, and the Zhengguo Canal is about to be built, so it needs young people in Dingkou."

"Your Majesty, what Great Qin needs most right now is not a county, but time!"

"Only by cutting off some territory to compensate South Korea and revising the alliance with South Korea can we buy more time for our Great Qin."

What Lu Buwei said was sincere.

Hancang accused Lu Buwei of ceding territory to seek peace for the sake of peace.

But in Lu Buwei's view, what Da Qin lacked was that breath of time.

As long as the construction of the Zheng Guo Canal is completed, it will give the Qin Dynasty more than ten years to accumulate food and grass so that the soldiers can go home and make dolls.

When the children grow up to be excellent soldiers, the national power of Da Qin will reach a new level, and the fist it wields against the Six Kingdoms will become even harder!

Ying Zheng asked back: "Father Zhong, the ceding of land is for peace, but is the covenant between countries really trustworthy?"

"If South Korea accepts the territory of our Great Qin, it thinks that our Great Qin is begging for mercy because its national power is empty."

"Do all the countries in the world want to take this opportunity to attack our country, Great Qin?"

Lu Buwei smiled warmly: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured."

"I will do what Lian Heng has to do, and I will definitely protect the peace of the Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Zheng sighed regretfully: "If we, the Qin Dynasty, had 300,000 soldiers and horses stationed at the border, why would we have to suffer the humiliation of ceding territory?"

Lu Buwei understood that Ying Zheng was actually supporting Han Cang's suggestion.

Lu Buwei's face turned serious, and he spoke in a deep voice: "The land of one city and one county is only temporarily handed over to South Korea, and it can be taken away overnight."

"Jun Chang'an enforced the laws of the country, but he respected the laws of Qin and protected the ancestral temple. This matter is related to the foundation of the Qin Dynasty for all generations!"

"Your Majesty, King Wanwang, please tell us which one is light and which is serious!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of shouting sounded from outside the imperial study.

"Chang'an Lord, urgent military report!"

Ying Zheng suddenly looked towards the door and shouted: "Pass!"

The door of the imperial study room opened, and with the support of two eunuchs, Dan Fu stepped into the imperial study room again.

Skillfully breaking away from the eunuch and kneeling on the ground, Dan Fu held up a military report with both hands and shouted loudly:

"The military report is here. Please read it, your Majesty!"

Seeing Mr. Dan's happy expression, Ying Zheng smiled unconsciously: "Mr. Chang'an, is this another happy event?"

Dan Fu shouted excitedly: "This is the joy of our general, and also the joy of Great Qin."

The army to attack Lord Chang'an has already set off, but Dan Fu is so happy as Lord Chang'an's messenger?

All the courtiers were curious about the military report in Dan Fu's hand, and Li Si walked up to Dan Fu in three steps at a time.

After taking away the bamboo tube and verifying the clay seal letter, Li Si hurriedly handed the bamboo tube to Ying Zheng.

Taking out the bamboo slips from the bamboo tube, Ying Zheng was stunned as soon as his eyes fell on Jun Bao.

Ying Zheng brought the military report to his eyes in disbelief. Ying Zheng read the military report word by word. He looked at Dan Fu in shock and asked, "South Korea surrendered?"

Dan Fu shouted solemnly: "Korea has been destroyed! King Han please surrender! All the territory of Korea has been transformed into the territory of Great Qin!"

"Great Qin, ten thousand victories!"

Ying Zheng was stunned.

The widow’s initial hope for Wang Di was to escape to South Korea alive, right?

The results of it.

Brother Wang first captured Xicheng and then Nanyang County. Now he went even more outrageous and directly destroyed South Korea.

I asked you to defect to South Korea, not you to destroy South Korea!

Even though Ying Zheng was like this, all the ministers were even more shocked, confused and felt that it was outrageous.

"Chang'an Lord, destroyed South Korea? How is this possible!"

"South Korea is different from small countries like Weiguo. This country is full of heroes. How can Lord Chang'an lead an army of 100,000 to destroy it?"

"Sending one hundred thousand troops to destroy Korea would be a huge scandal to the world. I have to suspect again that Lord Chang'an is falsely reporting on the army when he seizes Nanyang County!"

Faced with doubts from courtiers for the second time, Dan Fu seemed very calm this time.

Without any rebuttal, Dan Fu took out a cowhide bag from his arms, held it up with both hands, and spoke loudly:

"The Lord of Chang'an hereby orders me to hand this thing over to your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please watch it!"

Li Si made another trip and carefully placed the cowhide bag on the Ying Zheng desk.

After taking apart the cowhide, two jade square seals appeared in front of everyone.

Without waiting for Ying Zheng to make a move, Lu Buwei directly picked up one of them, dipped it in ink mud, and covered the back of a bamboo slip with force.

Looking carefully at the bright red words 'Yushi Dafu', Lu Buwei nodded nervously: "This is indeed the seal of South Korea's left prime minister."

All the officials in the hall were silent, and all looked at the two square seals with blank eyes.

The seals of the left and right prime ministers of Korea are all located here.

How could South Korea not be destroyed?

Ying Zheng laughed loudly: "It seems that the King of Han has indeed surrendered."

"My father-in-law and your beloved ministers have been discussing for a long time how many cities should be compensated. I also know how difficult it is for you."

"Now that King Han has surrendered, why don't you all go and discuss it with King Han?"

"Discuss how many cities our Great Qin must cede before we can gain the King of Han's understanding and renew our alliance with our Great Qin!"
