When people were in Qin, the advantage was mine

Chapter 2 Fencing with Guiguzi
……

247 BC.

This is a very special year for the entire Warring States Period.

At the beginning of the year, General Meng Ao of Qin was ordered by the King of Qin to go east to attack Wei. At first, the Qin army was fierce and unstoppable, and defeated seven cities in Wei. However, in less than a month, the war situation took a turn for the worse!

Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, who had been living in Zhao after stealing the talisman to save Zhao, brought more than [-] reinforcements from Zhao at the request of King Wei, and blocked the Qin army that was advancing all the way.

In addition, the Qin army was too eager to send troops this time. The battle line of more than a thousand miles bypassed Zhao and Han. Under the call of Lord Xinling, South Korea, Chu and Yan successively sent troops. The Qin army was attacked from both sides. In the end, A disastrous defeat outside the river.

At this point, the five-nation allied forces of Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Korea were united and approaching Hangu Pass!

……

Xianyang, the capital of Qin.

After the news of the defeat on the front line came back, the entire royal city fell into an inexplicable silence. Without him, this feeling is too familiar!

the fourth time!This is already the fourth time the coalition forces have attacked Qin!

Can you come up with something new?If you have the ability, challenge me alone!Every time I can't beat you, I beat you up. Can you have some backbone? !

Xianyang Palace.

Different from the bustle in the past, today's Xianyang Palace is hung with white cloth, and the entire palace is solemn.

Without him, the King of Qin is a stranger.

In the past three years since Ying Yiren came to the throne, the Qin army has been aggressively attacking without a single defeat!
This time when troops were sent to attack Wei, everyone in the court thought that victory was certain. No one thought that it would end like this!

After Zi Lingjun brought reinforcements from Zhao, the Qin army was defeated again and again!After the five-nation allied forces encircled the Qin army, they were unable to resist and were driven directly back to Hangu Pass. Most of what they had gained in Changping in the past had been lost.

After getting the news, King Qin Yiren fell ill and died soon after.

Subsequently, Prince Ying Zheng, who was only 13 years old, succeeded to the throne and became the new King of Qin.

……

Luoyang Junfu.

In the backyard, an old man and a young man were fencing.

The young man has a stern face and a tall figure. He is wearing a black brocade garment outlined with gold threads. He looks to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old. He is holding a wooden sword and stands in the courtyard.

His name is Ying Chen, the Lord of Luoyang of Qin, the grandson of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and the son of King Xiaowen. His biological mother is Bai Shi, the daughter of Bai Qi.

The old man's beard and hair are all white, and his figure is slightly smaller than that of the young man. He also holds a long wooden sword. His peaceful eyes hide a charm that is difficult for ordinary people to discover. His name is unknown, and he is known as Guiguzi. He is the master of this generation of Guigu sect. doorman.

After a fight, Gui Guzi felt helpless as his arms were slightly numb. He was really a monster. In terms of swordsmanship, he could no longer defeat this young man.

At this point, a huge inner aura spread out with Guiguzi as the center. At the same time, Ying Chen was not to be outdone. A pure white inner force spread out from the whole body, instantly encompassing the entire backyard!
Feeling the tremendous pressure coming from all directions, Guiguzi was a little distracted.

The heaven and earth activated by the master-level internal power are eclipsed?
How did this kid practice?This is too much!
Seeing that Ying Chen was about to take action again, Gui Guzi quickly stopped him and said: "Stop!"

When Ying Chen heard this, he stopped moving and looked puzzled.

"Hey." Guiguzi sighed deeply, "There is no need to compete anymore. Your swordsmanship skills are on par with mine, and there is not much difference in internal strength. If we continue to fight, we will be fighting for life or death."

He can still understand the skills of swordsmanship. After all, nearly ten years ago, after Changping, Yingchen's swordsmanship has reached the first-class level. Now ten years have passed and he has reached the level of a master. Although it is still too exaggerated, it is still true. Barely acceptable.

However, this internal strength cultivation... I think he has been cultivating for decades, but he is still in the late stage of the Grandmaster. This kid is only 20 years old and has already entered the Grandmaster for the first time?
No wonder Bei Mingzi rushed to Xianyang to find this boy. His talent was still higher than that of his apprentice Gai Nie.

After resting, the two sat in the pavilion and drank together.

After some business exchanges, Gui Guzi, as the current head of the strategist family, finally made it clear his purpose - how does Ying Chen plan to deal with the Hangu Pass war?
Is it war or peace?

However, he now had another question.

"You don't seem to be surprised by this result." Guiguzi said inexplicably.

"What's so surprising about this?" Ying Chen's eyes were flat.

"Don't I still know what my cheap brother is capable of? Even though I tried to persuade him before going to the Northland, I didn't think he would listen to me from the beginning."

"Just like back then, my grandfather refused to listen to my grandfather's words." Guiguzi was stunned when he heard this, "Yes, good advice is hard to persuade, only personal experience."

After Changping, during the Battle of Handan, Lord Wu'an at that time was very kind and persuasive, but King Zhao simply refused to listen.

"So you expected to be in the current situation, so you deliberately set out to conquer the Northland a year ago?" Guiguzi asked.

Ying Chen shook his head: "No, my grandfather and I were in different situations back then. Even if I didn't leave, he would find a way to get rid of me. He always wanted to prove to me that my choice of supporting him to become the prince was not wrong. He can also become a hero like Grandpa Zhaowang."

"It's a pity that he was not capable enough and was too anxious. As a result, he exhausted himself to death before he accomplished anything."

Others said that King Qin Yiren was beaten to the door of his house by Lord Xinling. He was afraid of being the king who would subjugate his country, so he was so angry that he died suddenly. But in fact, Ying Chen knew very well that there was something wrong with Ying Yiren's body a long time ago!
Ever since King Xiaowen died suddenly and King Zhuang Yiren succeeded to the throne with his support, for the past three years, not even half a day has been wasted, day or night!
However, as he grew older and had no achievements, King Zhuang, like King Zhao in the past, became eager for quick success!

King Zhao was so impatient that most of the good situation after Changping was ruined by the Battle of Handan!
King Zhuang was impatient, and the little confidence that Qin had gained in the past ten years of recuperation had been worn away a lot.

"But if you hadn't left, this attack on Wei might not have been impossible." Guiguzi said.

The defeat outside Hewai and the current siege of Hangu Pass by the five-nation coalition forces, if not handled properly, Qin will have to huddle in the pass for at least the next ten years, unable to escape eastward.

"But he won't let me go." Ying Chen sighed.

"Even if I don't leave voluntarily, he will force me away. He always wants to prove that he can win even without me. He is not just pushed by me, but he himself also has this ability. "

He, Ying Chen, is a time traveler, the kind of person who traveled through his mother's womb, a person who should not have existed. He was born to Ying Zhu, the son of King Zhao Yingji, and the daughter of Bai Qi. Therefore, King Zhuang is a different person and his same father. Mother's brother.

And this world is not real history, but a world view that is very similar to an anime called Qin Shi Mingyue in his previous life.

According to the original trajectory, Ying Yiren should have been helped by Lu Buwei, who recognized the Queen Mother Huayang as his mother, and then obtained the position of prince. However, he, a person who should not exist, disrupted everything.

He was born when King Zhao and Bai Qi had the best relationship, Bai Qi's reputation was at its peak, and Qin's national power was at its peak. From the moment he was born, everyone acquiesced in this combination of military and royal favor. People will become the new King of Qin in the future.

Before Changping, all this was indeed developing smoothly. With the support of his grandfather, King Zhao, he had always been favored in the royal family. In the military, with his grandfather's fame and military exploits, to be honest, he was the son of destiny!

Even his more than 20 brothers all agreed that after his father Ying Zhu succeeded to the throne, Ying Chen must be the prince, so everyone has always been brothers and sisters, and there is no point in fighting after all.

But all this changed after Changping.

After Bai Qi defeated Changping, he stopped fighting. The chance of fighting was gone. Continuing to attack Zhao would only increase the disaster. However, King Zhao, who had just recalled Bai Qi to Xianyang not long ago, insisted on attacking. He wanted to destroy Zhao, so what happened next Lord Xinling stole the talisman to save Zhao, and Handan was defeated.

Then his presence suddenly became extremely awkward.

Love Wujiwu, but also hate Wujiwu. Yingchen, the young master of the Qin Kingdom, who was in the prime of his life, saw his status plummet after Bai Qi was demoted to a soldier. He was not favored by King Zhao, and his position as the heir apparent who was so close to him also disappeared.

Of course, this is what everyone sees, but this is not the case.

At that time, Bai Qi's demotion did not involve him. In fact, he was still the young master of Qin who was valued by King Zhao and King Xiaowen.

Huayang had a very good relationship with him. At that time, his cheap father, King Xiaowen, and now the Queen Mother of Huayang, clearly told him that although he was no longer the King of Qin, who among his brothers could be the King of Qin? , it still depends on how he chooses.

And coincidentally, because Bai Qi was demoted at that time, and everyone thought that King Zhao and King Xiaowen, who was still the prince at the time, did not want to see him, all the good brothers who were brothers and brothers in the past all avoided him like snakes and scorpions, for fear of being implicated accidentally. , only Ying Yiren, who had just slipped back from Zhao Kingdom with Lu Buwei a few years ago, did not alienate him.

Perhaps it was because his situation at that time was very similar to that of Ying Yiren who had been thrown to Zhao State as a hostage early and was not welcomed by his father. Or maybe Ying Yiren and Lu Buwei saw something and took a gamble.

But whether it was true or false, that was the "dilemma" that King Zhao and King Xiaowen jointly created for him. It took a lot of courage to be willing to deal with him under that situation...

After getting the answer he wanted, Guiguzi left in a hurry, not daring to stay any longer.

Seeing this old man being so cowardly, Ying Chen was a little puzzled. Is he so scary?Didn't he just extort some of Guigu's martial arts from this old man back then?As for avoiding him like a ghost?

He also wanted to talk to the old man about the future arrangements for his two apprentices, but now it seems that the old man only accepted Gai Nie, and the white-headed young man from Wei Zhuang still doesn't know where he is hanging around...

"Your Majesty, are you not planning to leave for today's court meeting?" A girl nearly 1.6 meters tall and holding a black cat in her arms wandered into the backyard. Looking at Ying Chen who was still in a daze in the pavilion, she couldn't help but asked aloud.

His name was Li Wu. When Ying Chen opened his mansion a few years ago, he brought a child from Luowang to keep him by his side. This was to add a little more life to the mansion. After all, he had no interest in raising a man.

"The meeting?" Ying Chen was stunned.

"You won't forget, right?" Li Wu asked doubtfully.
