Chapter 15
Although Hangu Pass is known as the most magnificent pass in the world, it is doomed to miss words such as tall, grand and majestic. It is only better than a dangerous word.

In the Hangu Pass guarded among the high mountains, every inch of land has been utilized to the extreme, used to garrison and stockpile military equipment, food and grass, so that even the general's mansion in the pass is nothing more than a small courtyard with two entrances, the area is so small that even It is not as good as a well-to-do farmer.

But even in such an environment, Lu Buwei still feels very comfortable. This current Daqin Xiangguo, who became rich in business in his early years, is far more impulsive about physical enjoyment than he was when he was young.

As he got older, the decline of strength in his body further stimulated his desire for power, and not long ago, with the death of King Qin Yiren, his power reached the pinnacle of his life, even the successor King Qin I also want to call him a respectful father.

And as the offensive of the Allied Forces of the Five Nations became more and more fierce, the Great Qin Xiangguo saw the hope of taking his power to the next level: military power.

After some operations, along with calculations and compromises, he successfully obtained the military power of 30 troops to fight against the Allied Forces of the Five Nations. He mobilized all the confidantes of the forces he had managed in Qin over the years and inserted them into this army. Although he could not completely control this army, he was more than enough to control one hundred thousand soldiers.

The smooth implementation of the plan has made Lu Buwei in a good mood recently, but the good time lasted a little short. With the arrival of Meng Ao, Lu Buwei suddenly found that everything seemed to be developing in a direction he didn't want.

With the arrival of Meng Ao, although Lu Buwei is still the supreme commander of this army, the military command has been controlled by Meng Ao.

Who is Meng Ao?He was a general who had fought for the Qin State for more than [-] years and had outstanding military exploits. Even in the era of Bai Qi in the Qin State's military circle, he still had his own place.

While losing command, what made Lu Buwei even more aware of the chill was that after this incident, half of the forces he had operated in Qin for many years were exposed, and it was himself who promoted this incident.

Is it all a calculation?In the not-so-spacious hall, Lu Buwei slowly put down the letter, a smile suddenly appeared on his cloudy face, which looked extremely strange.

Majesty, I was careless this time, and I didn't have time to get past your calculations, but now that you have leaked it, it may not be the case next time.The Prime Minister, who is known for his calculations, ignited a stronger fighting spirit after being put together and briefly disappointed.

Only in this way is more interesting.

At the same time that Lu Buwei regained his fighting spirit, a voice quietly appeared in the hall.

The silver mask covered her face, but the figure wrapped under the fish-scale leather armor told others a message: this is a woman.

"Smite, ghost, heaven and earth, you should be the youngest killer killer in Luowang in the past 20 years, and you are even more likely to become the youngest killer in the past 50 years. Is the old man right? Shocking salamander." Lu Buwei was not at all surprised by the sudden appearance of the woman, because he was the one who summoned her.

"Before I get the Sword of Shocking Salamander, I still can't be called Shocking Salamander." The voice from under the silver mask seemed to have no emotion.

"You are too obsessed with the sword. If it weren't for this, you would have been at the Tianzi level a year ago." Lu Buwei was not in a hurry to give orders, but started chatting.

It's a pity that there is no sound from under the silver mask at this time.

"The sword is now in the hands of the king. If you want to get the startling salamander, go to the king's side. Only in this way can you get the startling salamander. Otherwise, no matter how many tasks you complete, it will be in vain."

"How can I get close to the king?" A voice came from under the mask again.

"The old man will take care of everything for you, and then you just need to remember your mission." Lu Buwei laughed.

"What mission?" came the voice again from under the mask.

"Stay by the king's side without being noticed by the king."

"As ordered."

······
After arranging everything, Lu Buwei hurried to Hangu Pass before the gate was closed, and greeted the upcoming Yingzheng with Cheng Yu Mengao.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng seemed to know that Lu Buwei and others were waiting for him before closing the door, so he was very considerate and didn't make them wait any longer. In less than half an hour, the team of fire cavalry appeared in everyone's sight.

After fulfilling the established rites, Lu Buwei and others welcomed Ying Zheng to the General's Mansion.

It is still the same hall as before, but the owner has changed at this time.

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng who was sitting on the main seat and was talking with Meng Ao, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed, is this really Ying Zheng?He seemed to be still in front of him when he was brought back to Qin from HD, but everything seemed to be different.

"Father Zhong won't be disappointed because of Gu's arrival, right?" Ying Zheng, who was talking with Meng Ao, suddenly changed the subject and asked Lu Buwei suddenly.

"Where did your Majesty come from? His Majesty can come here, everyone in Hangu Pass is excited, there is no such thing as disappointment." Lu Buwei was surprised.

"It's just a joke." Ying Zheng smiled, and then said: "I know that because of the incident in Xianyang, there may have been some misunderstandings in Zhongfu's heart before, and I came here this time to eliminate this problem with Zhongfu." Misunderstand."

"Your Majesty, I know about the adjustment of the Xianyang garrison, but if you talk about misunderstandings, it is completely nonsense. How can a subject misunderstand what the King said. If there are such rumors, I will ask the King to kill those who spread the rumors." Lu Buwei seemed to have been frightened by something, his face turned pale.

"Well, it seems that you are short-sighted, and you actually believe such nonsense." Ying Zheng blamed himself, looking at his demeanor, he was even more ashamed.

"In the future, there will be those who spread similar rumors, just kill them. The heavens can learn from the king's heart. How can you allow people with ulterior motives to slander you." Lu Buwei said bitterly.

"Then I will leave this matter to Xiangfu." Ying Zheng replied.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely find out this scum of Qin."

"One thing, I just want to ask Father Zhong and General Meng, why are the soldiers and horses in and around the pass divided into two groups at this time, and they are clearly separated from each other?"

Ying Zheng's question obviously stuck with Lu Buwei and Meng Ao, not because the answer to the question was too difficult, but because the answer was too difficult to say.

As for why the soldiers and horses camped separately, it was naturally because there were two people in charge in the pass at this time. As soon as Meng Ao arrived at Hangu Pass, he quickly controlled the troops around Hangu Pass with the help of the king's order and his own influence. Not indifferent, so he took the opportunity to separate the 20 soldiers and horses scattered all over his cronies into two battalions from the remaining [-] soldiers and horses, so as not to be controlled by Meng Ao.

It's just that these things can be done, but they can't be said. Even if both parties know it well, they can only pretend not to know it tacitly.

"Is this question difficult to answer?" Ying Zheng's face turned cold.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is a reason for the separation of the two battalions. Although the enemy army has retreated, it is necessary to prevent the enemy from going back and returning. For the sake of your majesty's plan to destroy Han, I deliberately divided the troops into two battalions. One battalion stayed at Hangu Pass, and the other battalion Followers attack South Korea." Meng Ao quickly explained.

Destroy Korea?Lu Buwei was shocked by these two words, and even suspected that he heard it wrong, how could it be possible?No matter how weak South Korea is, it is one of the seven heroes of the world after all. How can it be destroyed lightly? You must know that the Song State sent Qi State to a place of eternal doom, so once South Korea is destroyed, it is hard to imagine what kind of consequences it will cause , not to mention that the other five countries will sit and watch South Korea be destroyed?
At that time, it may be another situation where the five countries join forces to attack Qin.
