"Your Majesty, the State of Chu is urgently reporting!"

Wuqing said while presenting the bamboo slips in his hand to Yingzheng.

"Wow!"

The crisp sound of bamboo slips resounded in the hall.

Under Wang Mian's bead curtain, Ying Zheng's originally calm face suddenly became ugly.

"Order! Order Wang Ben to give up pursuing Yan Wangxi, leave enough manpower to guard Yan, and the rest of the people, all go south! In addition, summon old general Meng, Li Taifu, Guo Wei, and Feng Ci to come to the palace quickly Discussion!"

"Here!" Ruthless glanced at Ying Zheng in surprise, but dared not say anything more.

"Zhao Gao!"

"Your maidservant is here!" Zhao Gao shook his head lightly, bowing his head in response.

"The widow wants you to go outside Xianyang City, please someone..."

2 Chapter Ninety

"Teacher Li?" A steady voice sounded behind Li Si.

"Old General Meng..." Li Si patted his sleeves with his hands, and saluted Meng Ao respectfully.

"Taifu Li is now a close minister of the king. I don't know what the king is calling for this time. Before, the old man saw the frame of the Guowei's carriage." Meng Ao asked Li Si, stroking his beard and smiling.

Li Si looked at Meng Ao who was smiling, but said in a flat tone: "Presumably, except for Lord Lieutenant, Lord Wang Wan, and General Feng, they are all here too."

"Teacher's words are correct."

"Li Si remembers that the last time the king paid so much attention was when Chu State violated its territory..."

"Teacher means that the state of Chu has changed?" The smile on Meng Ao's face restrained a bit, and the right hand stroking his beard also slowed down involuntarily.

"It's been so long, and the Chu soldiers have already retreated from the border. Old General Meng thinks, why hasn't Lord Changping returned yet?"

A smile appeared on Meng Ao's wrinkled old face again.

"I would like to congratulate old General Meng. The Meng family is one of the three outstanding. I heard that even General Meng Tian was promoted by the king to be a young master because of Xinzheng's suppression of the rebellion a few days ago."

"Hehe!" Meng Ao chuckled twice, and the smile in his eyes became stronger.

Now that Meng Wu and Meng Tianju are both on the border of Chu State, if Ying Zheng really wants to send troops to attack Chu State, then they will definitely be able to win military exploits.

Military merit is the foundation of their Meng clan.It's no wonder that Meng Ao, who has always been as plain as water, cares so much this time.

Li Si smiled lightly. As a civil servant, he naturally needed a partner who was a general.And Meng Ao, who is seasoned in seeking the country, has become his best partner.

In this life, I did not expect that the two parties that were supposed to be in opposition to each other are now faintly on the road to unity by accident.

The heart-to-heart conversation between Li Si and Meng Ao was just a short episode, and when everyone was present, they heard Ying Zheng's oral order from a young eunuch.

The hall was quiet, and everyone was smart, waiting quietly for Ying Zheng to issue orders.

"My dear friends, how long has it been since Lord Changping went to Chu?" On the throne, Yingzheng sat upright, his face covered by a bead curtain, and it was impossible to see whether he was happy or sad.

After a moment of silence, Meng Ao, the oldest, stood up, cupped his hands, and replied, "It's been almost three months since I returned to the king..."

"Does everyone know how long the Chu army has been retreating?" There seemed to be a hint of a smile in Ying Zheng's voice.

"More than a month..."

"Do you know that this month, my Changping Lord of Great Qin, what is he doing in Chu State? My widow tells you that in one month, in a mere month, my Great Qin Lord Changping has become the current King of Chu! You, my lords! Do you think that the widow should be happy or angry?"

"The minister is guilty!" All the ministers knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"The widow asks himself that he treats Lord Changping well, but he betrays the widow. How should such a person be treated?"

"Dang cut!"

"Second minister! Second minister!"

The people who were quiet before, now they all spoke in unison.

"Your Majesty, is it too impulsive to attack Chu at this moment?" However, after everyone agrees, Wei Liao, who is a national lieutenant, frowned and said.

As soon as Wei Liao said this, the other four people present all frowned slightly.

Although the people standing in the hall at this moment are all Yingzheng's confidantes, but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.They also have their own circles of interest.

Leaving aside Li Si and Meng Ao, who were also from Yaodong, Meng Ao still had a little favor for Li Si's promotion.As for Wang Wan and Feng Quji, they both came from the old Qin family, so they naturally stood aside.

In this way, Wei Liao seemed a little isolated.

Now, Wang Jian is the commander of the Wei army, and Meng Wu and Meng Tian are also in the Wei army, and their status is not low.

Therefore, if the Chu State can be destroyed and the last obstacle to the unification of the world can be cleared for Yingzheng, it will undoubtedly be the common interests of both parties.

But Wei Liao objected, which naturally aroused the faint resentment among the four of them.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Land has not yet been pacified, and the army hastily dropped into Chu. If the Hu people from the Northern Land invade the territory, the Northern Land will have no defense, and rebellion will easily occur..."

"Liaozi thinks, how many people are needed to pacify Chu? How many people will I transfer from the North to Wei?" Ying Zheng asked, interrupting Wei Liao.

Wei Liao was slightly taken aback, but he reacted immediately and said: "Chu country is vast and rich in resources, although it is in chaos now, but the family of Chu country has a long history, and they will never be captured easily."

Wei Liao paused for a moment, then said in a low voice again: "Besides, Chu has 30 soldiers ready to fight. If we want to attack Chu, even with General Wang Jian, we need at least 30 soldiers!"

"Guowei's words are wrong!" However, as soon as Wei Liao finished speaking, the first person to object was the veteran Meng Ao.

"In my opinion, 20 is enough!"

"Old General Meng!"

Wei Liao exclaimed, somewhat puzzled why Meng Ao, who had experienced many battles, would be so short-sighted.

"Guo Wei, please listen to the old man." Meng Ao chuckled, signaling Wei Liao not to worry.

"What Guowei said, 30 soldiers is to destroy the country and destroy Chu. However, what the old man said is not to destroy Chu in one battle."

"Just like what Guo Wei said, the Chu family stands tall and complicated, and the power is intricate. But, similarly, many of these families are people who have already been seized by the Qin State. If the king can secretly allow them to seek the country Afterwards, you will get some fiefdoms. Then, Chu will be in chaos without a fight!"

"Besides, General Wang Jian's virtuous name has long been an indisputable fact. Even if there is a so-called Wu'an Lord Xiang Yan in Chu State, General Wang Jian's strength is enough to fight against!"

"If General Wang Jian can win every battle against the Chu army, then the country of Chu must be even more miserable. Then Chu will be wiped out in one battle!"
