Chapter 75 Chain Reaction
After finishing speaking, the old army leader Lian slowly opened his eyes. There was hope and worry in those old eyes.

He hoped that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Tiger and Leopard Division could complete the task of burning the Qin army's rations.

At the same time, he was worried that their mission would fail.

After all, the number of enemies they ambushed this time is dozens of times more than theirs, and they are still in the territory of Qin State.

In this somewhat complicated and contradictory mood, Old Master Lian removed the sealing wax from the pitch-black cylinder, and poured out a roll of paper from it.

Opening the scroll, I saw five words written on it: The mission has been completed!

After seeing the content on the scroll, the old army leader Lian couldn't help trembling with his body as majestic as a giant bear. With a "plop", he knelt down and bowed down.

His old face was full of excitement and excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "God bless my Lian's army, God bless my Wu'an City, and God bless my Zhao country!"

Then, the old army leader Lian bent down again, and solemnly kowtowed.

"Come here, gather all the generals above the battalion level of the Lian family army, there are important military matters to discuss!" The old army leader Lian stood up and said in a deep voice.

In that steady and deep voice, there was unconscious excitement.

……

Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin Kingdom, is the majestic Xianyang Palace.

In Xianyang Palace, in the main palace "Four Seas Returning to One Palace", which is twenty feet high and thousands of feet in size, a middle-aged man wearing a purple gold dragon robe and a purple gold crown is sitting on a large and luxurious table. On the purple gold dragon chair, a majestic look appeared on his face.

He is the Great King of the Great Qin Kingdom, the largest princely king in the Nine Kingdoms, Ying Zheng!

His eyes were shining brightly, looking at the civil and military ministers in the hall under the dragon chair.

In the main hall below, there are two rows of civil and military ministers, and there are hundreds of them.

Ying Zheng said in a thick and majestic voice: "Everyone, news just came back from the border of Chu State two days ago. General Wu Xu of Chu State led an army of 200 million and set up camp fifty miles away from Dongyue City in Qin State. The appearance of being ready to attack Dongyue City at any time.

During this month, the remnants of the royal family of the Wei State continued to attack the officials and wealthy households of our Qin State in Changyu County and Da'an County, the two newly established counties of Daqin, killing more than [-] officials and plundering rich people. There are more than a hundred households, so that people in the two counties are panicked.

At the same time, the 400 million troops of our Great Qin State have attacked Wu'an City for more than a year. They lost troops and generals, and consumed a lot of food and grass, but they were unable to take Wu'an.

You said, how should I, Daqin, deal with the situation in front of me? "

As soon as King Qin's words fell, an old man with a wrinkled face came out of the queue and said, "My lord, regarding Chu's intention to invade our great Qin Dongyue City, I think it is only necessary for me, the Qin army, to stand firm. After tidying up the state of Zhao, I will come back to clean up the state of Chu.

The remnants of the Wei royal family who created chaos in the newly established Changyu County and Da'an County in the original Wei land, I thought it would be good for the local garrisons to clean up.

The most important thing is to conquer Wu'an City and enter the Zhao Kingdom, and capture the capital HD of the Zhao Kingdom in a short period of time, and capture the King of Zhao.

As long as this problem is solved, other problems can be easily solved! "

After the old man finished speaking, he returned to the queue.

At this time, Li Si, the head of the civil servants, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think what your lord Wang said is reasonable. I agree with you!

When soldiers from the state of Chu came to our Dongyue city, I thought it was just a show.

According to the report of the spies, King Zhao sent someone to send a heavy gift to King Chu, hoping that Chu would send troops to attack Daqin to relieve the danger of Zhao.The king of Chu received a big gift from Zhao Guo, and more or less pretended to attack my Daqin.

If Chu State hadn't pretended to attack Daqin, it wouldn't have been half a month's journey, but it would have been more than a month!

As for the remnants of the Wei State in Changyu County and Da'an County, they are just clowns and can't cause any trouble.

Among the top priorities of my Great Qin Kingdom, I still want to capture Wu'an City as soon as possible.

Our Great Qin's food and grass army will reach General Mengtian in Wu'an within 20 days at the latest, and 500 million reinforcements have already set off, and they will reach Wu'an City in a month at the latest.

I think that we can take Wu'an City within two months at the most, and the capital of Zhao Kingdom in one year at the latest, and capture the King of Zhao!
Therefore, I beg your Majesty not to worry, just wait for the good news from General Meng Tian! "

"What the prime minister said is very true, and the minister seconded it, please don't worry about it, Your Majesty!"

"What the prime minister said is very true, and the minister seconded it, please don't worry about it, Your Majesty!"

"What the prime minister said is very true, and the minister seconded it, please don't worry about it, Your Majesty!"

……

The other ministers present heard the words and seconded their proposals one after another.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Ying Zheng also had a rare smile on his face.

At this moment, a little eunuch with a floating dust in his hand and a black tall hat on his head trotted into the main hall. While running, he whispered in a sharp voice: "Zhao Guo's front-line secret letter!"

The little eunuch ran to a place not far from the dragon chair and stood still, bent over and cupped his hands, waiting quietly for the king to speak.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "Submit it!"

The old eunuch beside him hurriedly shook the floating dust, went down to take the cylindrical object in the young eunuch's hand, and quickly came to King Qin.

Ying Zheng took the cylinder, removed the sealing wax from it, poured out a rolled paper from it, and looked at it.

Looking at it, the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared without a trace, his brows were furrowed, a dazzling blue light erupted from his body, and an extremely rich murderous aura erupted from his body.

"Old man Lianpo, I will tear your corpse into thousands of pieces and wash Wu'an City with blood!" Ying Zheng roared angrily.

At this moment, he no longer has the calmness and composure of being the lord of a country!

The officials below have never seen the king get so angry. They all understand the truth of "When the emperor is angry, he lays down millions of corpses and bleeds for thousands of miles"!
At this moment, everyone was as quiet as a cicada, not daring to speak out, for fear of offending King Qin and bringing about a disaster of killing lives!
For a moment, there was no sound from the sparrows in the huge Hall of Return of the Four Seas, and a needle could be heard, only the oppressive atmosphere pervaded...

After a long time, Qin Wang Yingzheng suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "All the food, grass and luggage transported to the front line of Wu'an were burned by the old man Lian Po's Shenji Battalion. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died in battle, and those who fled were routed. Even the eldest prince is missing! Tell me, what should I do?"

As soon as King Qin's words came out, the officials below fell into a brief silence, and their faces showed shock. Such news was no less than a bolt from the blue, and they started discussing it.

"The rations of the 700 million troops for half a year were all burned!"

"The eldest prince is missing!"

"..."

"..."

"This king didn't ask you to discuss it. Now think about how to solve this problem!" King Qin frowned and said in a deep voice.

Everyone fell silent again.

Li Sidang stood up first, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think the most important thing right now is to raise some food and grass and send it to Wu'an City first. After all, the food and grass in Wu'an City can only support an army of 200 million for less than a month." !
Also, let the 500 million troops who went to Wu'an to support them first withdraw to their original station. Without food and grass, the 500 million troops going to Wu'an will not only be unable to help General Meng Tian, ​​but may cause chaos due to the severe shortage of food and grass! "

As soon as Li Si finished speaking, a second official stood up and said, "..."

……

On this day, the court meeting in the Hall of Return of the Four Seas began in the early morning, and the discussion did not end until the early morning of the second day.

Qin Wang also left Li Si alone and recruited him to the imperial study.

Ying Zheng looked at Prime Minister Li Si with serious eyes, and said: "Li Si, you said there is still a way to break through Wu'an City, you can say it now, as long as the method is feasible, I will fully support you!"

There was a fierce look in Li Si's eyes, and he said: "My lord, it is impossible to directly attack Wu'an City with a large army in a short period of time, and it will take a long time to raise food and grass.

However, in addition to the direct attack of the army, there is another way to break through Wu'an City.

The key to Wu'an City lies in the old man Lianpo, so as long as we get rid of the old man Lianpo, Wu'an City can definitely be broken! "

"How can we get rid of Lian Po? He is now the number one celebrity in Zhao Wang's eyes. No one can help Zhao Wang defend Zhao's country except him?" Ying Zheng's eyes were full of doubts.

Hearing this, Li Si's eyes flashed brightly, and he uttered three words: "Divorce!"

……

At this time, in the Changchun Hall of Xianyang Palace.

There was a slightly plump middle-aged woman, wearing a golden phoenix robe, leaning lazily on a low couch, her jade-like hands covered with precious rings were gently caressing Looking at the pot of precious flowers in front of her.

Although this woman is middle-aged, but there is no trace of wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, her charm is still there, and her noble air is overwhelming. She has a pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes, focusing on the flowers in front of her, without even looking at them. The little eunuch.

"What letter did the prince ask you to deliver?" the noble woman asked.

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "I would like to report to the Queen, Eunuch Wang said that he got the latest news at the court meeting yesterday, saying that the grain and grass that the eldest prince was responsible for escorting to Wu'an City were burned by the Lian's army, and that the eldest prince was seriously injured and did not know what to do." trace!"

"It's really good news, Xiao Guizi, go and receive the reward!" A smile appeared on the noble woman's face.

"Thank you, Queen!" The little eunuch bowed and left after speaking with a flattering look on his face.

Seeing the little eunuch retreating, the noble woman laughed loudly and said, "Haha, haha, God really opened his eyes and helped my queen clean up this arrogant prince!"

This woman is Queen Xue of Great Qin State, the biological mother of the third prince of Qin State.

She smiled and said, "Come here!"

Immediately, a beautiful and well-behaved maid entered the hall, bowed and said, "What orders does the Queen have?"

"Go, invite Master Zhang Mo to my empress, and say that I have something important to discuss!" Queen Xue said.

The maid bowed and left. Queen Xue looked at the flowers in front of her, and the smile on her face became stronger, even brighter than those flowers.

"My Lei'er, as long as the eldest prince dies, you can ascend to the throne of Qin. I hope you can break through the bottleneck of the Blue Star Realm this time, and you can successfully destroy the Huzhai and bring the 36 villages of the Damian Mountains into the Damen Qin's sphere of influence has made a great contribution!" She thought to herself.
