When King Chu of Qin came to the throne, many people from other countries who migrated to Qin due to wars could not get used to the rule of law in Qin, so they resorted to robbery to make a living.

Although the party struggles within the imperial court were not as serious as those in other vassal states, there were still considerable problems.

If these are not resolved, it will be difficult for him to completely control the government.

The fastest and most effective way for the kings of the Qin Dynasty to establish their prestige was to launch wars and stabilize their positions with absolute military exploits, thereby accumulating prestige and intimidating the officials.

Thinking of this, King Chu of Qin couldn't wait to ask Lu Buwei where he should send troops to attack immediately, so that he could accumulate prestige as quickly as possible and intimidate the courtiers.

The two thought about it and decided to attack South Korea, which was the weakest.

In 249 BC, the first year of King Chu of Qin, on March [-], General Meng Ao of Qin led [-] troops to attack South Korea.

South Korea was already in decline. Coupled with Meng Ao's bravery and proficiency in fighting, he almost effortlessly captured Chenggao and Xingyang in South Korea, and set them as Sanchuan County under the Qin State, which served as the basis for the Qin State's eastward development. Forward position.

In addition, Sanchuan County was garrisoned by soldiers, which prevented the armies of the Six Nations from using the water of the Yellow River to reach Xianyang.

Without any worries, Meng Ao was ready to go all out and continue to expand his territory to the east.

But at this moment, something happened that no one expected except Yun Jiao and someone who could hear her voice.

The king of Eastern Zhou launched a war against Qin.

In 256 BC, after the King of Western Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the surviving King of Eastern Zhou Dynasty had been living in a corner of Luoyang, trembling as he watched the countries fighting each other.

Now seeing the Qin regime changing one after another and the domestic political instability, the king of Eastern Zhou began to think about regaining the lost territory and restoring the glory of the Zhou royal family. He used the order of the Emperor of Zhou to call on the alliance of the six countries to jointly attack Qin.

The six countries all wanted to take advantage of the situation, so they obeyed the order of Lord Dongzhou and sent troops to help. Even the King of Han, who was defeated by Meng Ao, also joined the anti-Qin alliance.

This incident soon spread to Qin State and also reached the ears of King Chu of Qin.

King Chu of Qin suddenly panicked and went to find Lu Buwei to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, Ying Zhengzheng and Yun Jiao were listening to Lu Buwei's lectures in his mansion. When they saw King Chu of Qin coming, they hid behind the scenes to avoid suspicion.

Yun Jiao poured a cup of tea for Ying Zheng and started eating melon.

Hearing what Qin Wangchu said, Yun Jiao's heart moved.

[Hey, if I remember correctly, this battle seems to be Lu Buwei’s battle to become a god. 】

In history, Lu Buwei fought a beautiful battle. Not only did he defeat the Lord of Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but he also relied on this battle to establish enough majesty for himself, allowing him to control the government for many years and remain standing. It is not a miracle.

Next to him, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced sideways at Yun Jiao, tugged on her sleeves, and lowered his voice: "Sister, who do you think can solve the problem of the Six Kingdoms' attack on Qin this time?"

"If we look at it from a normal perspective, the two generals Meng Ao and Wang Jian are more than enough. Now that the king has just succeeded to the throne, he urgently needs to establish his prestige. The best way is to let his confidants do this for him, and as we all know, The prime minister has supported the king with one hand, from Zhao State to Qin State, life and death, never leave." Yun Jiao collected her thoughts and lowered her voice to reply to him,

"It can be said that the king is the king of Qin who was taught by the prime minister."

Therefore, if Ying Zichu wants to establish his prestige, the best way is to let Lu Buwei fight as in history.If Lu Buwei wins, then Ying Zichu, whom he represents, will be able to successfully establish prestige and completely control the government.

But the problem now is that Ying Zichu is still a little concerned about Lu Buwei's background as a businessman. (End of chapter)
