The world started by Daqin Mingyue

Chapter 3 Difficulties
Duanmurong's luck seemed to be limited to this point. After finding several more volumes of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic, she still couldn't find what was in the catalogue, but she was not disappointed, because she had already seen hope.

When Duan Murong happily went back to find his master with the few scrolls of bamboo slips he had found, Ying Zheng also came here, the Great Qin Xiangguo Lu Buwei.

The deceased Xiang Wang Yiren was worried that Lu Buwei, who had a shallow foundation in Qin, would be difficult to compete with the Queen Mother of Huayang. In order to increase Lu Buwei's reputation, he even asked Ying Zheng to worship him as his second father. father.

Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that his complexion was very good, but he always felt something changed in Ying Zheng's eyes, but he couldn't tell for a while.

"My lord, has your body ever recovered?" Lu Buwei asked.

"No problem. Father Zhong came here in such a hurry. Is there something urgent?" Ying Zheng asked.

"The strategy laid down by the former king has failed." Lu Buwei said in a deep voice.

The strategy set by the previous king?Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, he knew the meaning behind this sentence very well.

King Xiang Yiren died in May, and in April, the Allied Forces of the Five Nations under the leadership of Lord Xinling defeated Meng Ao, a general of the Qin State, on the south bank of the Yellow River, and then directly attacked Hangu Pass.

Faced with such a situation, King Xiang alienated the relationship between King Wei and Lord Xinling with countermeasures, in order to defeat others without fighting. Now it is already August, but he did not expect that King Wei still trusted Lord Xinling.

"It's not a failure. After all, the offensive of the five-nation coalition forces has indeed slowed down a lot in the past two months or so. It shows that the father's strategy still worked, but it failed to achieve the expected effect." Ying Zheng replied.

"It's meaningless to say these things now, and now we can think about fighting with all our strength." Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with some surprise, and the other party seemed to have grown a lot.

"Fight, if you fight Zhongfu, how many troops do you think you need to repel the enemy?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It must be 50."

"50? Since Wu'an Lord Baiqi, there is no one in our country of Qin who can manage such a huge army. Who does Father Zhong think can be the commander?"

It's not because the generals of the Qin State are not capable, but because the army is also divided into factions. With the current situation of the generals of the Qin State, no one can command such a huge Qin army. The combat power of Wan Dajun was even greatly reduced.

After all, the larger the army, the stronger it is, and a general with sufficient ability is needed, but Qin has not had a general who can command an army of 50 since its inception.

Wang Jian is half of them. His ability may be enough at this time, but his qualifications and reputation are still lacking. Meng Ao's qualifications and reputation are enough, but his ability is not competent.

If it is necessary to find such a person in Qin State, maybe Lu Buwei can barely be counted as one, not because he has the talent to lead the army, but because he can coordinate the various factions in the army well with his status.

If Lu Buwei is allowed to lead the army, it will undoubtedly give the opponent a chance to intervene in the military, but once the powerful ministers take control of the military, it is obviously not the result Ying Zheng wants to see.

What's more, in Ying Zheng's view, there is absolutely no need for Qin to fight this battle. The five-nation coalition has as many as 60 to [-] troops. That's right, the loss is equally divided among the five countries, and for any one of them, the loss is within an acceptable range.

In Yingzheng's opinion, the previous divorce plan should be the best solution, because the commander of the coalition forces, Mr. Xinling, has a fatal weakness, that is, King Wei. Without the support of King Wei, even if his reputation is well-known in the six kingdoms of Shandong , He has unparalleled influence in Zhao State, but without the Wei army of King Wei, the armies of the other four countries will undoubtedly be tied up for him to command.

But the estrangement seems to be ineffective, can King Wei really untangle the knot in his heart?

It is absolutely impossible, if the king of Wei is really so wise, the state of Wei cannot be what it is now.

When Yingzheng's eyes were on Lu Buwei, even the city of Lu Buwei couldn't help being a little excited. Now that he has a name and status, he only lacks a piece of military power. Once he has military power, he can become a well-deserved Qin State. Under the King No.1.

Unfortunately, Ying Zheng is destined to disappoint Lu Buwei.

"The strategy of alienation is still useful. It's just that the fire has not yet come. Besides, the recruitment of 50 soldiers is too much pressure on our Qin State. It is better not to go to war until the end."

"Your Majesty, the current situation is that the Allied Forces of the Five Nations have stepped up their offensive against Hangu Pass." Lu Buwei persuaded.

At this time, Yingzheng really has no power in his hands, but he is the King of Qin after all, and his status is there. Without him, Lu Buwei can indeed do some things relying on his own power and the support of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, but there is no doubt that The trouble is several times, and Lu Buwei prefers to save trouble.

But what he didn't expect was that the problem appeared in a link that shouldn't have occurred. The current Yingzheng seems to be a little different from the Yingzheng he remembered. He doesn't look like a 13-year-old boy, but like Lu Buwei. Politicians with vicious eyes.

While Ying Zheng was thinking about how to persuade Lu Buwei, the voice of the guards outside the hall broke the silence between the two.

Meng Ao, who is now the No.1 in the military circle of the Qin State, has had a hard time recently, to be precise, he has had a hard time in the past four months.

In March of this year, he was ordered to attack the State of Wei. At the beginning, the situation was shattering, and he took down seven cities in the State of Wei, but in April the situation took a sharp turn.

The King of Wei recalled Lord Xinling, who had lived in Zhao State for ten years, and Lord Xinling even brought back tens of thousands of elites from Zhao State. Seeing that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, the country once again launched the joint vertical.

What made Qin Guo even worse was that in May, King Qin died suddenly, and after that, the coalition forces attacked Hangu Pass.

And all of this stemmed from his defeat, which was a shame to him, not to mention that this defeat caused a series of chain reactions.

Meng Ao suffered so much for two months, but he couldn't deny it until yesterday when he heard a rumor about the new king circulating in Xianyang, he couldn't sit still.

In this veteran's mind, the previous king's great importance to him, the tolerance for him after his defeat, and the kind treatment of his Meng family all made him unable to sit back and watch the spread of those rumors. Therefore, he wanted to ask for a fight, and ask for a fight with the new king. , Facing the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, even if it is death, it will not let the new king get the notoriety of fearing the enemy like a tiger.

So here he is.

The arrival of Meng Ao made Yingzheng even more headache, because he also asked for a fight. Yingzheng knew that if he couldn't come up with a better way to deal with the Allied Forces of the Five Nations but still wanted to prevent the Qin Army from fighting the enemy, he would undoubtedly die in the battle. He bore the mark of a coward.

Among the seven countries in the world, the kings of the other six countries can be cowards, but Qin is the only one that can't, because the warlike blood of the Qin people cannot tolerate cowards, let alone this coward is their king.

At this time, Ying Zheng has nothing but his status, so he absolutely cannot be called a coward, it will break his foundation.

"Your Majesty, do you know that there are already many bad things circulating in Xianyang City, if we continue to retreat and not fight, we will undoubtedly confirm those rumors, what about you, Your Majesty?" Meng Ao's old face became even more gloomy.

"Rumor? Are you saying that you are lonely and cowardly, afraid of Lord Xinling under Hangu Pass?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Yes." Meng Ao nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the best way to deal with such messages is to go to war. This old minister is willing to use this life to defend the dignity of your majesty and our country of Qin."

"Even if we want to fight, we have to think long-term. What I want to know more now is, where did these rumors come from?" Ying Zheng said calmly.

"According to Luo Wang's report, they are from Chu." Lu Buwei replied.

"Chu people? There should be Wei people, right?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Wei people, I haven't discovered that yet. All the people caught spreading rumors so far are Chu people." Lu Buwei shook his head, wondering why Ying Zheng would mention Wei people.

"Whether it's Chu people or Wei people, who will benefit the most from spreading these rumors, who is the mastermind behind the scenes, Xiangfu, old general Meng, who do you think this person will be?"

Meng Ao looked at Yingzheng suspiciously, and Lu Buwei immediately thought of someone, because this person was also the object of his suspicion, the Empress Dowager Huayang, the reputation of corrupting Yingzheng was undoubtedly what the Empress Dowager Huayang wanted to see the most, because that would be the most important thing for the Empress Dowager Huayang to see. It is more beneficial to adult weeds.

"Father guessed it?" Ying Zheng asked Lu Buwei.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Lu Buwei thought for a while, and felt that it would not be good to directly mention the Empress Dowager Huayang.

"Of course Lord Xinling."

Ying Zheng's answer was obviously beyond Lu Buwei's expectations, how could it be Lord Xinling?It is obvious that the Empress Dowager Huayang is the promised one.

"Of course it is Lord Xinling. Now that the Allied Forces of the Five Nations have been defeated at the Hangu Pass, they are naturally the ones who most hope that we will go out to fight. The purpose of spreading these rumors is to force us to fight."

"Your Majesty is right." Lu Buwei replied, but he had more doubts in his heart. What is Ying Zheng's real thinking?Doesn't he know that that person is the Empress Dowager Huayang?Or did he deliberately blame Lord Xinling for these things, if the latter, he might really have to get to know the king again.

"On the battlefield, if our actions are controlled by others, we will undoubtedly lose half of the war, so we must not act according to the opponent's thinking, at least not now."

"Does Your Majesty still think that avoiding the battle is the best policy?" Meng Ao said shyly, because he found that what the other party said was very reasonable, but he didn't want to accept it.

"No, the old general misunderstood Gu's meaning. Since the enemy wants to fight, how can we not accompany him? However, it is not indecent to come and go. Before the battle begins, Gu has to send something to Lord Xinling." Ying Ying Zheng smiled, because he thought of some good things, and these things are undoubtedly a very disgusting existence. If they can be realized, they will undoubtedly greatly weaken the strength of the coalition forces. At that time, it is the perfect time for Qin to attack the enemy.

"My lord, if this is the case, we must raise food and recruit soldiers as soon as possible." Lu Buwei was relieved, his goal had been achieved.

"Don't worry, maybe 50 people won't be needed by then, 20 will be enough." Ying Zheng laughed.

·····
When Lu Buwei and Meng Ao left Xianyang Palace as part of their parting plan, Meng Ao bowed solemnly to Lu Buwei and said: "I admire the Lord Xiangguo even more after seeing the King today. I didn't expect that the Lord Xiangguo taught the King so well. I, Qin, will have no worries for decades to come."

Although Lu Buwei has been thinking about how to get closer to the Qin military circle, but at this time, he is not happy because of the compliment of Meng Ao, the No. 1 Qin military circle, but smiles very reluctantly.

"Your Majesty is a heavenly figure, how dare I take credit for it."

Lu Buwei was sitting in the car returning home, with a strange expression on his face, thinking about the strategy Ying Zheng said before, and countless questions swirled in his heart: Who taught him these things?Do you need to reposition your position in the future?
