Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng and a group of trusted ministers gathered in front of the sand table to discuss Qin's next target of attack.

"Do you think it is better to attack Chu first or Zhao?" Ying Zheng asked casually, looking at the incomplete map outside the seven countries.

"Your Majesty, Zhao's 100,000 elite soldiers have all been captured. They are no longer able to launch large-scale campaigns and can only sit and wait for death. When our Great Qin marches eastward, it will be the day of their demise!" Li Si was the first to express his opinion, "The real threat to our Great Qin is Chu!"

"Chu has a territory of 5,000 li and a million armored soldiers. It is the only opponent that has a chance to compete with Qin!"

"This old minister agrees with the Chief Justice's proposal. Although the State of Chu is large, the government is controlled by the three major families of Qu, Jing and Zhao. King You of Chu also does not have the support of the scholars. As long as the king implements the feudal system and sends Prime Minister Mi to the State of Chu to win the hearts of the scholars, the State of Chu can be easily destroyed." Wang Wan expressed his opinion.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"I do not agree with the feudal system proposed by the Grand Commandant." Li Si retorted, "Brother Wan, aren't the lessons of the Zhou Dynasty enough for us to reflect? The feudal system is a close relationship established by blood relations, but as time goes by, it will only become more and more distant, leading to war. The reason why Your Majesty wants to unify the world is to end the wars that have lasted for hundreds of years and make the world free of disputes. If the feudal system continues to be implemented, history will only repeat itself. Then what is the meaning of everything Your Majesty has done?"

"The feudal system may achieve temporary success, but the county system is the eternal foundation of our Great Qin!" Li Si responded sharply and did not give in, causing those who originally wanted to agree with Wang Wan to hesitate.

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, looked at the bored Han Fei, and asked, "Mr. Han Fei, do you think the county system is better or the feudal system is better?"

Han Fei attended this discussion as a guest official. He felt a little puzzled about his appearance here. He had just surrendered to Qin, and was asked to participate in such an important military and political event. Wasn't he afraid that the information would be leaked?

What he didn't know was that all this was arranged by Su Xuan, so that Li Si would work hard with him while he would sit back and enjoy himself, which was why he didn't show up here today.

Han Fei scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and showed just the right amount of confusion. "With the national strength of Qin, it doesn't seem to be difficult to destroy Chu."

"Hasn't Qin and the other six states already reached a conclusion on which is better, the feudal system or the county system?"

Ying Zheng smiled when he heard this and looked at Wang Jian and other generals, "Generals, do you have any good plans to destroy Chu?"

"I have something to advise you." Wang Jian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Chu has a vast territory and many soldiers. It is easy to defeat it but difficult to destroy it. I would like to lead 500,000 soldiers. Facing the overwhelming force, Chu will surely fight back with all its might. It will only take one or two years to completely conquer Chu!"

"Isn't General Wang Jian too conservative? It took our Great Qin only 200,000 troops and one month to destroy the states of Han and Wei. Even if the Chu State is powerful, it will not be much stronger than the states of Han and Wei." Mi Qi's eyes flashed and he questioned.

Before Wang Jian could reply, Li Xin stood up. He looked confident and made a bold statement, "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you as a warrior and ask for your permission to destroy Chu!"

Ying Zheng looked at Li Xin with interest and asked, "Do you have a detailed plan?"

"Chengfu is where the Chu army stores grain. I would like to lead 200,000 troops. As long as we capture Chengfu, the Chu army will be in chaos. By then, the Chu capital Ying will be within our grasp!" Li Xin spoke with confidence, his main point being that "I can do it, too."

“Hahaha…” Ying Zheng laughed out loud, “General Li Xin is really courageous! The soldiers of the Great Qin should have such lofty ambitions!”

"General Wang Jian, do you have as much confidence as General Li Xin?" Ying Zheng looked at Wang Jian and asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we must be cautious about military affairs. The Chu general Xiang Yan is by no means an easy person to deal with!" Wang Jian frowned and reminded.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to sign a military order. If the army of 200,000 cannot capture Yingdu within half a year, I will be willing to be punished by military law!" Li Xin spoke immediately. He would not give up the credit that he had obtained!

In his opinion, although Wang Jian was mature and steady, he had also lost his sharpness. After all, this world still belonged to them, the young people.

This time, it is a good opportunity for him to show his skills.

"General Li Xin, you must know that there is no joking in the military." Ying Zheng's expression became serious and he asked again.

Li Xin replied with full vigor, "I am confident that I can destroy Chu. Your Majesty can rest assured!"

"Then you will be the main general and Meng Tian will be the deputy general in this expedition against Jingchu." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, then looked at Changping Jun, "I want to send Prime Minister Mi to Chenying to contact the nobles of Chu to coordinate. Is Prime Minister Mi willing to go?"

Changping Jun was overjoyed and said, "I will serve the king even if it means death!"

A strange look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes and he shook his head secretly.

As for the matter of destroying Chu, he and Su Xuan had already worked out a general strategic plan long before discussing it with his ministers.

Changping Jun thought that he had done everything secretly, but he didn't know that all his plans fell into the eyes of Ying Zheng and Su Xuan.

They did not alert the enemy, but instead took advantage of the situation. Changping Jun wanted to annihilate the Qin army, and why didn't the Qin army want to annihilate the Chu army?

What if the Chu army came out in full force to fight them!

Only in this way can we destroy the State of Chu in the shortest possible time.

Chu State thought Changping Jun was a spy? He would tell Chu State that Changping Jun was a double agent!

The State of Chu loves to gamble, so let them lose completely!

There was a hint of amusement in Ying Zheng's eyes. When the Chu State knew that Changping Jun was a traitor and their entire army was wiped out, their expressions must have been very interesting.

After deciding on the leading general to destroy Chu, the meeting came to an end.

Looking at the empty hall, Ying Zheng couldn't help but think of Su Xuan.

The only one who openly asked him for a month's leave was Su Xuan! But he couldn't refuse because this guy asked for wedding leave!

Thinking of Su Xuan's absurd behavior, Ying Zheng felt it was outrageous. How could he marry wives one after another like this? Being a bridegroom every night, could he bear it?

But it must be said that Su Xuan knew how to enjoy himself. Even Ying Zheng felt that he was not as free and happy as Su Xuan.

As for Su Xuan, mentioned by Ying Zheng, he was organizing the next wedding in an orderly manner, which was the wedding with Jing Wei.

Looking at Jingwei with her big belly, Su Xuan decided to simplify the process.

In the next half month, Su Xuan held several weddings in succession, first Jingwei, then Yan Lingji, Zi Nu, and Nong Yu.

As for why Madam Mingzhu was ranked last, it was because she had a wish that had not yet been fulfilled, which was to let Honglian share a husband with her.

Su Xuan had no choice but to complete the achievement of "One Dragon Playing with Two Phoenixes" when Madam Mingzhu called Honglian.

The price she paid was that her entire body was covered with Honglian's teeth marks. Her look of shame and anger was still fresh in Su Xuan's mind even after several days.
