Saint Qin Batu

But when Ying Zichu decided to conquer the six eastern countries for the first time, the Qin and Chu factions were arguing endlessly over who should be in command, and even when Sima Jun, the head of the old Qin faction, was about to overwhelm Xiong Quan, Lu Buwei recommended Meng Ao.

There was never a famous general in the Chu family, and Lu Buwei's action undoubtedly helped the Chu family a great favor.If I can't get it, you can't get it either.Therefore, Meng Ao, who was famous in the court but not very powerful, took command and set off.

With Meng Ao's victories again and again, his prestige in the court rose like a rocket.And because of Meng Ao's prosperity, those who recommended Meng Ao naturally became the Bole in the hearts of Yaodong people.

Lu Buwei quickly integrated the extremely scattered Yaodong faction, and even promoted the people of the Yaodong faction with the help of the power in his hands.Over the past few years, in the court hall of Qin State, there has been a faint three-legged confrontation.

But now, Meng Ao has lost, and it can even be said that he lost miserably.Of the [-] troops, [-] were killed, more than [-] were captured, and more than [-] were scattered.Less than [-] returned intact, and the deputy commander Wang Lu even died in battle.This battle can be said to be Qin's first defeat in more than [-] years.

Everyone knew that when Meng Ao came back, people from the Qin and Chu factions would tacitly work together to suppress him, so as to lower Xiangguo Lu Buwei's momentum.Faintly, the hall began to smell bloody.

Ying Zichu, who was sitting at the top of the main hall, glanced at Lu Buwei, Sima Jun, and Xiong Quan, and finally said, "Chuan Meng Ao."

"Bring it on to General Meng Ao!"

After a while, Meng Ao in military uniform walked into the court hall.

"Meng Ao, the general of the defeated army, pay homage to the king!" Meng Ao knelt down on one knee and said with shame on his face.

"General Meng." Ying Zichu sighed slightly in his heart, and said calmly.

Ying Zichu really likes Meng Ao, a fierce general who is loyal and good at fighting.It is not that Yingzi Chu has not considered using the Yaodong line to counter the Qin and Chu lines.

It's just that the people in the Yaodong Department are complex and extremely scattered, and it will take a lot of energy to integrate them. Ying Zichu has been hesitating in his heart.

Just when Ying Zichu made up his mind to reuse the Yaodong Department, Lu Buwei took the lead.It can be said that almost all the people of the Yaodong lineage in the court have received the favor of Lu Buwei to some extent.Obviously, it is almost impossible for the Yaodong faction that has already damaged Lu Buwei's brand to become the previous "Royal Party".

In the court hall, Meng Ao didn't get up, but still knelt, "The defeated general is ashamed of his majesty!"

"General, please get up, this battle is not the general's fault." Ying Zichu comforted him with a warm expression.

"Your Majesty!" Under the main hall, Gan Xing, the head of the old Qin family and the Gan family, came out and said with a little anger: "Meng Ao's loss of troops and generals should not be forgiven lightly. Your Majesty's words are not to offend those great Qin warriors who died in battle. So, who would dare to work for Daqin again in the future?"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

As soon as Gan Xing said this, he immediately attracted the support of many people, including many people from the Chu family.

As the current head of the Yaodong faction, Prime Minister Lu Buwei frowned slightly.The people and forces of the Qin and Chu families launched an attack with great momentum.However, as Xiangguo, one of the three giants in the court, he couldn't say anything before Sima Jun and Xiong Quan spoke, otherwise he would lose his status.

Under Lu Buwei's signal, an old official from the Yaodong faction stood up, "Your Majesty! In my opinion, General Meng has made great contributions to our Great Qin. It would be really unfair to punish General Meng heavily for just one battle."

"That's right! According to military strategists, water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. On the battlefield, how can there be a general who is victorious? If you lose because of this, and bury a general, this is the real loss of my Great Qin." Another The ministers of the Yaodong Department immediately went out to join the class.

Immediately, many people from Yaodong Department also stood up to support Meng Ao.It's just that the background of the Yaodong family is still a little bit worse after all.Under the cooperation of the two factions of Qin and Chu, there are obviously some deficiencies.

While the ministers were chattering, a tall figure stood up, "Father, my son thinks that General Meng should not be severely punished."

"Huh?" The hall was silent, and everyone looked at Ying Zheng.The Crown Prince Yingzheng, who rarely expressed his opinion, took the risk to protect Meng Ao today, what is his intention?

"Prince!" Sima Jun couldn't bear it first, and scolded in a low voice: "The one hundred thousand army has lost almost half of it, and they are still extremely elite pawns, how can they be lightly spared?"

"The enemy that General Meng fought was Lord Xinling of Wei State, and his soldiers were the elite of the five kingdoms, three times more than General Meng. This battle is not a crime of war. If General Meng is severely punished, I am afraid that in the future, the Great Qin Will the general run away without a fight, or surrender without a fight when he encounters such a dangerous situation?" Ying Zheng continued without changing his face.

"I, old Qin, don't say that I'm afraid of death!" Sima Jun's voice couldn't help but grow louder.

"Soldiers have to worry about life and death when they are fighting outside. If General Meng is severely punished now, wouldn't it add a lot of worries to him? How many people can win under the worries of the past and the future?"

"Prince!" Seeing that Ying Zheng still did not let go, Sima Jun suddenly became anxious.

"Father! My son thinks that the light punishment is immediate!" Ying Zheng bowed to Ying Zichu and said firmly.

Sima Jun was about to refute, but was stopped by Bai Lijun behind him.

Bai Lijun pointed his mouth lightly to the left, Sima Jun turned his head and saw Xiong Quan looking at him cheerfully.

"Huh!" Sima Jun waved his sleeves, but he didn't say much.

Seeing that Sima Jun and Xiong Quan didn't respond, Yingzi Chu, who had been thinking about how to save Meng Ao, was happy but also a little uneasy.

Sima Jun's behavior seemed normal to him.The fact that the old Qin clan supported the crown prince was already known by almost everyone in the court.However, why didn't Xiong Quan stand up, was it just to fight against Sima Jun?Also, in order to help Meng Ao, Ying Zheng did not hesitate to quarrel with Sima Jun, what was his intention?

PS: Thank you for your hard work, you have entered one thousand and two! O(∩_∩)O, but the author Jun still wants to ask for a recommendation ticket with the cheek.It is estimated that I will write a few chapters of foreshadowing for the next chapter, and then I will start writing the first battle of Ying Zheng's life.It is estimated that this volume will be written for a long time. After all, there are six countries to be destroyed, and Lu Buwei and other forces must be eradicated.Finally, I have to buy a little foreshadowing for the next volume of King's Landing.A rough estimate may take more than 100 chapters.Tomorrow the author will sort out his ideas and write a more detailed outline, so it may be late, I hope everyone will forgive me.

1 Chapter Twenty

Sima Jun compromised, and Xiong Quan didn't seem to want to continue to embarrass Meng Ao.Ever since, Ying Zichu followed suit, and only removed Meng Ao from his military post.However, now that the Overlord's army is completely lost, and the organizational system is incomplete, there is no big difference between having or not.

"Nephew, why do you think the crown prince is so strange today?" Inside the carriage, Bai Lijun sat opposite Sima Jun, and the elder Sima Jun frowned and asked.

Bai Lijun shook his head, and said with a relaxed expression: "Uncle Sima, I don't know if I've heard such a saying before, adding icing on the cake is worse than giving charcoal in the snow."

"Nephew means that the crown prince wants to win over Meng Ao?" Sima Jun quickly understood what Bai Lijun meant, but he still asked with some doubts: "The crown prince is very intelligent, so he shouldn't be ignorant of doing this, no doubt It will offend us old Qin people."

"Although Meng Ao is from Qi, after so many decades, he has indeed made great contributions to our Great Qin. More importantly, Meng Ao has an old-fashioned personality and is only loyal to the monarch. Since the death of King Zhao, Ba Shang Da The Tiger Talisman of the battalion has always been in Meng Ao's hands, even if the Bashang battalion is disabled now, it still cannot be shushed." Baili Jun analyzed.

"That being said, Meng Ao is a member of the Yaodong clan, and now the Yaodong clan is vaguely headed by Lu Buwei. Nephew, I'm afraid that Lu Buwei, a mercenary businessman, will rely on the crown prince!" Sima Jun's eyes Still full of worries.

Only the big bosses of the Qin family like Sima Jun and Bai Lijun knew how much their old Qin family had paid to help the crown prince secure his position.

If the old Qin family paid such a price, not only did they not have a firm grip on the crown prince, but were also taken advantage of by Lu Buwei, a businessman whom the old Qin people looked down upon, God knows what kind of crazy actions the old Qin people would make.

After hearing Sima Jun's words, Bai Lijun's originally confident expression became a little nervous, "Uncle Sima's words are right, Lu Buwei must be cured..."

However, Sima Jun shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "It's not easy? Now that Lu Buwei has almost gathered the power of the Yaodong faction, to punish him now, unless the Chu faction and the king also use their strength. But, you Do you think His Majesty will help us?"

"That's right, the current three-legged rivalry is undoubtedly what the king wants to see most. Originally, Meng Ao was an opportunity, but it's a pity for the crown prince..." Baili Jun also sighed.

"In that case, let's be optimistic about the prince." Sima Jun's eyes flashed a ruthless look, "I'm afraid that the prince will be really dishonest this time..."

"Don't worry, Uncle Sima, you can't get out of the fork!"

"Um……"

The two stopped talking, and followed the carriage slowly towards the settlement of the old Qin family.

……

"squeak!"

In the afternoon, just after noon, a plainly dressed carriage stopped in front of the Meng Mansion.

Although the carriage is ordinary in attire, it is not even comparable to the ordinary Qin State No. 17 Juesi carriage, but the bright black dragon and black swallow logos on the carriage made the two guards of the Meng Mansion dare not have it at all. The slack.

In the state of Qin, the black swallow represents the identity of the royal family, while the black dragon can only be used by the monarch or the prince.Ordinary nobles, who can guard the gate, how can they not have such sharp eyesight?
