When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 77
Back then when Yingzheng was still in the capital of Zhao State, he met a friend named Ji Dan. Because he was the crown prince of Yan State, most people called him Yan Dan.

Yingzheng's life in Zhao State was very embarrassing, and Yandan was one of the few people who had helped him. Since Yingzheng returned to Qin State, he had not seen his childhood friend for seven years.

And just today, Ying Zheng heard about his 'friend' again.

"Yan Guo wants to form an alliance with my Qin State?" Ying Zheng said with clarity after hearing Lu Buwei's report in the front hall of Xianyang Palace.

Yingzheng had never thought that he would see Yandan in Xianyang this year, but when Lu Buwei told Yingzheng the news of Yandan's coming to Qin, Yingzheng realized that this year in the north of the river, it really happened. a big deal.

In the original historical track, this year, Yan Wangxi first sent Yan Wangdan to Qin as a hostage. At the same time, he hoped that Qin would send someone to Yan as a chancellor, so as to establish an alliance between Qin and Yan.

It's a pity that although King Yan's plan was good, it was cheated by Qin Guo's backhand.

Flipping through the memories in the depths of his mind, several names quickly appeared in Ying Zheng's mind: Yan Dan, Lu Buwei, Guo Kai, Zhao Wangyan, Pang Nuan, Zhang Tang, and Gan who single-handedly deceived the Yan Kingdom. Ro.

It turns out that there are still such interesting things this year.

"Yan Wangxi should feel the pressure from Zhao Guo." Lu Buwei said.

"That's true. I, Qin State, haven't used troops against Zhao State for several years." Ying Zheng said.

"Then what does Your Majesty think about this matter? Can you agree to Yan Wangxi's alliance proposal?" Lu Buwei asked.

If it was Lu Buwei a year ago, he would not have asked such an inquiry at all. When it came to government affairs and diplomatic relations, he could have resolved it with one word, but now, he has lost a lot of confidence in his heart.

"Covenant? The current covenant is just a scrap bamboo slip." Ying Zheng sneered.

"However, after all, Yan Dan can be regarded as a good friend of Gu in the past. When he was in Zhaodu, Gu did not receive less help from him. Leaving aside the matter of Qin Yan's alliance, Gu was favored after all. So, it can't be done. I don't see you," Ying Zheng said.

Of course, what Ying Zheng said was just an excuse, what Ying Zheng was really interested in was the Mo family behind Yan Dan.

As for the country of Yan?Ah!

Thinking of Yandan and Michan, Yingzheng also thought of a young girl named Concubine Yan.

"It's a good thing to form an alliance with Yan, at least Zhao will have trouble sleeping and eating," Lu Buwei said.

"It's hard to sleep and eat? Then Father Zhong thinks highly of the Yan Kingdom. After the Changping War, when the entire Zhao Kingdom couldn't muster [-] remnants, the Yan Kingdom took the opportunity to attack Zhao, and they could be pushed back. Such a situation Can the State of Yan really become a threat to the State of Zhao?" Ying Zheng said.

"Then?" Lu Buwei hesitated.

"Didn't Father Zhong already have an idea?" Ying Zheng said.

"It's up to the king to decide everything, and I dare not be arbitrarily appointed." Lu Buwei was shocked in his heart, but said calmly on his face.

"Father Zhong doesn't have to be like this. He is lonely and young, and he needs to rely on Father Zhong for many things." Ying Zheng said sincerely.

"Your Majesty is being modest." Lu Buwei replied.

Of course, Lu Buwei hoped to promote the alliance between Qin and Yan, because it was Lu Buwei who pushed Yan Dan to come to Qin. Lu Buwei thought that everything he did was very secretive, and of course, what he did was indeed secretive.

However, he didn't know that Ying Zheng had another memory, and in Ying Zheng's other memory, everything Lu Buwei did could be described as invisible.

Interestingly, in this big drama involving Qin, Zhao, Yan, and Wei, should I wait and see what happens?Thinking of the interesting things in it, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing a smile.

Yingzheng's smile fell into Lu Buwei's eyes, which made him instinctively feel a little uneasy, just like the uneasy feeling when he first walked out of the house, made a deal, and waited for the final profit and loss.

Maybe I was worrying too much?Is it really old?Lu Buwei said to himself in his heart.

After Lu Buwei left, Meng Ao, who was in charge of teaching Yingzheng's art of war, came to Xianyang Palace, and Yingzheng told him about the alliance between Qin and Yan.

"What does General Meng think about the alliance between Qin and Yan?" asked Ying Zheng, who told Meng Ao about the people from Yan.

"Yan country?" Meng Ao asked in surprise, regarding Yan country, he has never regarded it as an opponent, so he pays very little attention to matters with Yan country.

"Nowadays, among the six kingdoms in Shandong, only Zhao and Chu are the only ones that can really compete with Qin. Yan Guo can only contain [-] Zhao troops, and it can also reduce a lot of casualties for our Qin army." Ying Zheng continued.

"Yan Guo, it's too weak." Meng Ao thought about Ying Zheng's words.

"It's still useful after all," Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty approves of forming an alliance with the Yan Kingdom?" Meng Ao's voice could not help but become more dignified.

"My lord, the goal of my Qin army this year is the state of Wei. As long as we take down the state of Wei, the connection between the state of Zhao and the state of Wei can be completely severed. In this way, in the future, whether it is to attack Zhao or destroy Wei, our army can occupy it." Besides, isn't this the strategy that your Majesty has set up?" Meng Ao said.

"There will be a plague of locusts in Wei State next year. It will be difficult to recover within a year or two. It will not be too late to attack its puppet Wei State." Ying Zheng said.

"Yechang has many dreams, Weiguo's position is too important, and we can rest assured that we can get it as soon as possible." Meng Ao insisted.

"That's it." Ying Zheng said.

"Your Majesty?" Meng Ao asked with a hint of anger.

"That's it. It's settled. The general doesn't need to say much. Father Zhong supports Qin Yan's alliance, so it can only be done for now." Ying Zheng said helplessly.

"Yes." Meng Ao struggled for a while, and finally gave up, but Lu Buwei's name was remembered in his heart.

The preoccupied Meng Ao reluctantly concentrated on teaching Ying Zheng the art of war. .

"Gu still disappointed the general after all." Ying Zheng looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and said unintentionally.

"Your Majesty?" Meng Ao asked Ying Zheng restlessly.

Meng Ao didn't believe it, and Ying Zheng couldn't see the vital interests in it. The reason for all this could only be the pressure from Prime Minister Lu Buwei.

"Gu can't change anything." Ying Zheng said helplessly.

"Xiangguo, he is too much." Meng Ao said.

As a general, Meng Ao didn't want to get involved in politics, because he knew that as a general, the number one person in the army, once he got involved in the political situation, the impact on the court would be too great. It is impossible.

However, at this moment, he had the urge to intervene in politics, because Lu Buwei's actions just now exceeded the boundaries that a prime minister should have, even if he is the father of the king of Qin, he can't do that.

"Above the court, after all, you still have to rely on Father Zhong." Ying Zheng said.

Now, Meng Ao had nothing to say, but the impulse in his heart became more and more firm.

Above the court, Lu Buwei's family can no longer be dominated, even if his next actions may cause disasters for the Meng family in the future, he will not hesitate.

Having made up his mind, Meng Ao stopped talking and concentrated on explaining the art of war to Ying Zheng.

Meng Ao's reaction fell into Ying Zheng's eyes, which made him very satisfied.

The helplessness he showed in front of Meng Ao was to lure Meng Ao into the game and make Lu Buwei arouse Meng Ao's dissatisfaction.

With Meng Ao's experience in four dynasties and illustrious military exploits, as long as Meng Ao speaks out in the court, he will have his own supporters. In this way, Lu Buwei's power can be broken.

Only in this way, there will be fewer obstacles on the road of self-government.

Zhao Ji has already won, and the Chu family can also use it. If Meng Ao enters the game, Lu Buwei can no longer become an obstacle.

It's just that the position I left for Lu Buwei in the court before may need to be adjusted.

However, don't be too hasty, everything has to be done slowly.

As for Lu Buwei's plan this time, it is nothing.

Although Lu Buwei's plan is good, although there are smart people in Yan State, there are not only fools in Zhao State's court.

Even Guo Kai, who is known as the fifth among the four famous generals, is a rare smart person, and Zhao Guo also has the talent to break the game.

In the next time, it will be Zhang Tang and Gan Luo's home game, and he can also use that opportunity to weaken Lu Buwei's prestige.

Yan Guo, Zhao Guo, Lu Buwei, you all can't make money, and the one who really makes money is Gu.Ying Zheng put away his troubled thoughts, and once again devoted his mind fully to the art of war in the Taoist slips.
