My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 172: Brother, you actually treat me as an abandoned son? !

But Ying Zheng also knew very well that it was not that easy to twist the court into a rope.

Li Si, Xiong Qi, Wei Liao, Wei Xiang and Ying Chengyu will be like five cotton threads inserted into the sugar solution. As the sugar solution cools and stands, the scattered and free sugar in the sugar solution will spontaneously move towards these five threads. The cotton threads come together.

It only takes about a week to prepare five polycrystalline yellow rock candies made with traditional techniques!

The gathering of forces in the court is like Huang Bingtang, an objective law that does not change due to the will of the monarch.

But Ying Zheng didn’t want five yellow crystal candies that were sweet but choked his throat, and had many irregular protrusions that could scratch his throat.

What Ying Zheng needs is liquid sugar that is fluid and viscous and can be shaped into any shape he wants!
So Ying Zheng needs a fire.

It will make the court lively again, and let the sugar liquid still be the fire of sugar liquid!
Wei Liao suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Ying Zheng asked in a gentle voice: "Ai Qing, what is your message?"

Wei Liao bowed his hands and his voice became more serious: "While I was staying in Wei, I saw that Pang Nuan's motorcade had entered the territory of Wei."

"Pang Nuan is a very good person!"

"I think that Pang Nuan went to Wei in person to unite the five kingdoms and reenact the war of the five kingdoms against Qin!"

After saying these words, all the courtiers looked solemn.

It is true that Da Qin is the only powerful country in the world today, but Da Qin's power has its limits.

During the Fifth Battle of the Five Kingdoms against Qin, the Allied Forces of the Five Kingdoms directly hit the base sixty miles east of Xianyang City. If Lu Buwei had not jumped out of the battle and divided his position in the enemy court, the Allied Forces of the Five Kingdoms would have collapsed.

Qin has long been dead!

Now Pang Nuan comes out to join forces again, but Lu Buwei is in prison.

Can the new generation of Qin courtiers really be able to stop the invasion of the Five Kingdoms?
Ying Zheng asked in a solemn voice: "Can King Zeng of Wei take any action?"

Wei Liao shook his head: "Wei Wangzeng never agreed."

The courtiers raised their voices with their hearts in their stomachs again.

But before his heart could relax, he heard Wei Liao speak again: "However, Pang Nuan has grown old, and now he comes out again, which shows that all the countries in the world are worried and wary of our Great Qin."

"After the destruction of Han Dynasty, the Qin army became more powerful."

"The Jingshui Canal (Zheng Guo Canal) is open, and the Qin Dynasty's national power becomes stronger."

"More and more courtiers from various countries support the alliance. Sooner or later, all the countries in the world will unite and attack Qin again."

"This is the dilemma of the Qin Dynasty!"

Ying Zheng said sincerely: "The words of Guowei also make me worried."

"Why does Wei Liao teach me?"

Wei Liao said solemnly: "If you don't want to be controlled by others, you should control others first!"

"I advise you to attack Wei to break the alliance!"

Ying Zheng thought thoughtfully: "Conquer Wei?"

Wei Liao nodded: "It's to defeat Wei!"

"The state of Qi and our country Qin are close to each other. As long as we destroy Wei and seize the territory, our country Qin will be able to border Qi and help each other."

"And as long as Wei is destroyed, Da Qin and Qi will form a blockade, separating Chu from Zhao and Yan."

"The three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, and Yan can no longer use the road to mobilize their troops and join forces in one place."

"Even communications and alliances will be difficult. How can we unite?"

"If we, Great Qin, attack these three countries again, the three countries will not be able to reinforce each other."

Wei Liao said seriously: "I advise you to take Chang'an Lord as your commander-in-chief and lead 20 troops to attack Wei!"

"As long as we seize Wei territory, the art of alliance will be defeated!"

Ying Zheng ordered in a deep voice: "Go and send a message to Lord Chang'an to come to court!"

When the eunuch rushed to the prison, Xiong Qi refuted it mercilessly: "The officer's policy is too natural."

"Qi is our Great Qin's ally now, but when our Great Qin borders Qi, will Qi still be our Great Qin's ally?"

"You Wei Ke Zhi!"

"Once Qi betrays its alliance, the strategy of attacking Wei to cut off the exchanges between the three countries will be self-defeating."

"And Wei State penetrated deep into the hinterland of Zhao and Chu."

"Once we, the Qin Dynasty, capture Wei, Wei will become a land of four battles, making it difficult to defend."

"Therefore, I believe that this advice is not good advice."

Xiong Qi's refutation was not only to criticize Wei Liao, but also because Xiong Qi truly believed that Wei Liao's policy was too outrageous!
Wei Liao smiled and said: "The alliance between Qin and Qi has been around for a long time!"

"As long as we, Da Qin, continue to maintain good relations with Qi and bribe Qi's courtiers with large sums of money, how can Qi betray Da Qin?"

"The prime minister is too worried!"

Wang Jian, who had not spoken to the court for a year, suddenly said: "Once we, the Qin Dynasty, send troops to Wei, Zhao will definitely send troops to rescue us."

"Capture the land of several cities in Wei, Yi."

"It's difficult to take all the territory of Wei!"

As a leading figure in the Qin army, Wang Jian's first words after a long absence were to refute Wei Liao, which made people think too much.

Wei Liao responded in a deep voice: "You can also spend a lot of money to lobby Guo Kai to break this situation!"

Yang Duanhe couldn't help but said: "Guo Kai may be persuaded, but even if Guo Kai advises, Zhao will still rescue Wei."

Wei Liao said flatly: "That must be because the money spent on lobbying is not enough!"

Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe looked at each other and said nothing.

They were able to remonstrate with the court because they really felt that this plan was unreliable, and they thought they should remind Ying Zheng not to be deceived.

However, Wei Liao's response left them speechless.

They don't want to continue arguing with a fool!
Anyway, they were not the ones leading the expedition.

But Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe stopped talking, and other courtiers were also unwilling to Ying Zheng carry out such an outrageous strategy.

When Ying Chengyu entered the Qilin Hall, what he saw was that the admonishing doctor and various generals were conducting a 360-degree bombardment on Wei Liao without any blind spots!
Ying Chengyu had to shout at the top of his lungs: "My lord, Master Chenggan of Chang'an, please pay homage to the king!"

A loud shout suppressed all disputes.

Ying Zheng asked directly: "Guowei Liao gave advice and ordered Chang'an Lord to take command as a general and send 20 troops to attack Wei."

"Mr. Chang'an, are you willing?"

Ying Chengyu was a little confused.

Are you asking me to go on an expedition again?
You never told me about this!
Should I be willing or should I not?
While he was confused, Ying Chengyu saw a thumb quietly emerging from Ying Zheng's sleeve.

All right!
Ying Chengyu suddenly handed over his hand: "I am willing to fight for Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng nodded happily: "Very good!"

"General Meng Wu, would you like to assist me?"

Meng Wu was a little confused.

He also didn't think Wei Liao's strategy could succeed.

Moreover, Ying Chengyu’s reputation is not good!

Although the general has the right to kill his deputy generals, in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States centuries, which general have you seen actually killed his deputy generals?
Countless!

However, Ying Chengyu beheaded his deputy general Fan Yuqi.

When you serve as a lieutenant for someone else, you only need to consider external enemies, but when you serve as a lieutenant for Ying Chengyu, you also have to guard against the swordsman of your own leader.

too difficult!
However, the Meng family has just taken root in the Qin Dynasty for two generations. Although they are not foreigners, they are not old Qin people either. They also have foreign faces that are rare among the Qin army.

The Meng family needs Ying Zheng's trust and support more urgently than generals such as Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe.

Faced with Ying Zheng's order, even though Meng Wu was unwilling in every possible way, he could only surrender: "I am willing to go, general!"

Ying Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "In that case, here's my order!" "Promote Lord Chang'an Ying Chengyu to be the chief general, promote General Meng Wu to be the deputy general, recruit 20 troops, and march eastward to attack Wei!"

Wei Zhuang, Wei Liao and Ying Cheng's subordinates immediately surrendered:
"only!"

Many courtiers still wanted to give advice.

But in the face of Ying Zheng's firm and unquestionable order, Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang and others had already obeyed the order, so they had no choice but to hand it over:
"only!"

Ying Zheng turned to ask: "How long can Da Qin's grain and grass support it?"

Han Cang immediately came out and said: "If we send 20 troops to fight in Wei State, our Da Qin's food and grass can last for six to seven months."

Before setting off for the expedition, no one could tell how long the food and grass would last for the army.

Because transportation on the road is the largest consumer of grain and grass.

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "Not enough!"

"Wei also strengthens the country."

"In order to manage grain, the internal officials need to prepare at least enough food and grass for the army to go out to fight for a year."

Han Cang replied helplessly: "Your Majesty, there is only so much grain and grass in the treasury granary."

"No matter how hard I try, I can't produce grain and fill it into the granary!"

"I advise you to pay food to the people!"

Wei Liao and Wei Zhuang immediately handed over their hands: "I second the proposal!"

Ying Zheng nodded slightly: "In that case, I will send an order to the people to recruit grain and grass."

"If you donate a lot of food, I won't hesitate to give you a title!"

"The officials in charge of grain management will seal the matter of raising grain and submit it to me within three days."

Han Cang looked bitter.

three days?

For such an important and involved matter, you will give me three days?
Otherwise, you should kill me!
But in the end, Han Cang could only give up: "Wei!"

Orders came out from Ying Zheng's mouth one after another, and courtiers stepped forward to answer.

With each order and response, the entire Qin Dynasty was mobilized by Ying Zheng.

After the big court meeting, all the courtiers rushed towards the government office quickly.

As they enter the government office, all parts of Daqin will be affected by them.

Food, grass and soldiers will be transported on muscles and claws like blood, awakening the great war beast of Da Qin!
Only Wei Zhuang, Wei Liao, Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian remained in the Qilin Hall.

Looking at the courtiers leaving in a hurry, Ying Zheng smiled and asked: "Brother Wang, do you know why your brother wants to start a war against Wei?"

Ying Chengxuan said casually: "Transfer internal conflicts into external conflicts."

"Is what my brother said correct?"

Ying Zheng nodded happily: "My brother has made great progress!"

Ying Zheng started the foreign war in order to burn the court with the flames of war, so that the Great Qin court could maintain the shape of the sugar liquid as Ying Zheng wished, so that Ying Zheng could have time and opportunity to use various means to turn the sugar liquid into Shape it into something more in line with his heart!
Ying Chengyu raised his neck proudly and said, "How about I know this question before I'm born?"

To be precise, Ying Chengyu would have answered it in his last life!
All those history and politics lessons are not for nothing!
Ying Zheng obviously thought that Ying Chengyu was bragging, so he asked with a teasing smile: "Why do you think I want to send an army to attack Wei?"

Ying Chengyu couldn't help frowning and thinking.

After a long while, Ying Chengyu shook his head: "I don't know."

"I can't think of any benefit in destroying Wei first."

"I don't even think that the brotherhood really agrees to conquer Wei. There must be a hidden secret!"

Ying Zheng smiled happily: "It seems that Guo Wei's explanation did not convince the king brother."

Ying Chengyu hummed proudly: "Is this the kind of person who would be deceived by such a simple cover-up?"

"The State of Qi is certainly an ally of our Great Qin, but are there still many cases of betrayal of alliances by other countries?"

"Although Prime Minister Zhao can be bribed, Prime Minister Zhao is only Prime Minister Zhao after all, not King Zhao."

"As long as King Zhao decides to rescue Wei, it will be meaningless even if Guo Kai kneels on the ground and holds King Zhao's thigh and cries for help."

"But Guowei was able to convince Brother Wang with such reasons. Obviously Guowei has already communicated with Brother Wang."

Wei Liao hurriedly handed over his hand: "Thank you, Lord Chang'an, for thinking that I have already told Wang Xingfa the reason for this, instead of thinking that I am someone who deceives your heart."

Ying Chengyu returned the gift with his hands raised: "I have long heard of Wei Liao's talent."

"With Wei Liao's talent, how could he take an unwise strategy?"

Wei Liao did not leave many records in the history books. The history books did not even record Wei Liao's surname and place of origin, and left many records with logical conflicts.

But the fact that Wei Liao was valued by Ying Zheng, and even became one of the few imperial officers in the Qin Dynasty, proved that he was extremely talented.

Ying Chengyu didn't think that such a person could not see the problems in his plan.

But he still remonstrated.

That only shows that this plan is not his real plan!

Wei Liao smiled and said, "Chang'an Jun is so complimentary."

"I advise you to fight, but this battle is aimed at the Kingdom of Zhao!"

Ying Chengyu and Wang Jian were both stunned.

Attack Zhao?
It’s right to fight against the State of Zhao!
Wei Liao solemnly explained: "Zhao and our country Qin have been fighting for many years, and their hatred is deep, and they understand Qin's strength better."

"It also has the most powerful soldiers in the world, with extraordinary combat power, and it is close to our territory of Great Qin."

"Once our Great Qin is weak, the Zhao State may take advantage of our Great Qin's unprepared troops to leave Taihang at any time and go to Jingxing to sneak attack our Great Qin's capital!"

"So when I join the Qin Dynasty to admonish, I must first destroy Zhao!"

Ying Chengyu rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "If I, the Qin Dynasty, attack Zhao, Wei will not send troops to rescue."

"But if we, the Qin Dynasty, attack Wei, Zhao will definitely save us!"

"Guo Wei obviously ordered me to lead the army to attack Wei, but in fact it was to attract Zhao's attention and main troops and create opportunities for the main force of our Great Qin?"

Wei could not directly feel the threat of Qin, and the recent generations of Wei kings were generally timid, so they repeatedly did not send troops to rescue Zhao.

The famous "stealing amulet to save Zhao" originated from a rescue that was rejected by the King of Wei.

But the State of Zhao is really interesting, or in other words, King Zhao understands how great the threat to the State of Zhao will be if the State of Wei falls into the hands of Qin.

Therefore, once the Qin Dynasty sends troops to attack Wei, Zhao will definitely lose some of its strength.

Wei Liao cupped his hands and apologized: "I did not discuss this with you and led you to make a plan. I hope that you, Chang'an, will not be guilty!"

Ying Chengyu's strategic goals determined that the sergeants under Ying Chengyu would not be the most elite regiment in the Qin Dynasty.

Under such circumstances, Ying Chengyu had to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the main enemy armies of the two countries, and even actively delayed the return of the enemy's main force.

This tactic was common in other countries and dynasties in later generations.

But this is Da Qin!

The comparison of the forces between Ying Chengxuan and the enemy determines that Ying Chengxuan will most likely suffer more losses and gain less in this battle.

According to the current "Military Rules", if a general's battle losses exceed [-]% of his gains, the general of this army will be punished!

Fighting the hardest battle, resisting the ultimate pressure, there is no benefit if you win, and if you can't bear it, you will be punished.

Wei Liao's plan is simply to offend people to death, and it is even treating Ying Chengyu as an abandoned son!

Ying Chengyu didn't think Wei Liao dared to offend him like this when he first came to Da Qin.

Youyou's eyes immediately focused on Ying Zheng: "Brother, you cheated me!"

"How can you bear it!!"

“Won’t your conscience hurt!!!”
