Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 169 The State of Wei Suspended by Water and Fire

Lu Buwei hesitated for a while, and said to Zhang Yi and Zhao Ji as usual: "What if the king is really caught by Wei Guo?"

"Then we must rescue the king!" Zhang Yi said with a blush on his face.

Lu Buwei lowered his voice and continued to say: "Then if we can't be rescued, we can return."

Zhang Yi stared blankly at Lu Buwei, of course he knew what Lu Buwei meant, if Ying Zheng couldn't come back, he would have to establish a new king.

Zhao Ji listened to the conversation between the two, and said anxiously from the left: "No, the king will definitely return."

The envoys of the State of Wei looked at these big figures of the State of Qin with a look of complacency, and from time to time they said a few words to intimidate Lu Buwei and Zhang Yi, which really made the officials of the State of Qin want to rush forward and simply kill him.

report!The military situation is urgent!

Just when everyone in the palace was still enduring this envoy of the State of Wei who bared his teeth and claws.

A hurried sound came from the palace.

Lu Buwei and Zhang Yi were immediately shocked. There was no war in Qin State now. If we were talking about the front line of fire, it would only be Ying Zheng's side.

Lu Buwei said anxiously: "Quick, tell me something about spying."

The messenger gasped for a few breaths, and quickly said: "Your Majesty won a great victory in the border town of Wei State, and wiped out 30 troops of Wei State!"

After hearing this, Lu Buwei and Zhang Yi asked in disbelief: "Is what you said true?"

"It's true, all the allied forces of Wei and Chu were wiped out by our Qin State, and none of them escaped."

When the envoy of the State of Wei heard what the messenger of the Qin State said, he pointed at the messenger and said angrily: "You are lying, you only have 3000 people, how can you probably beat 30 people?"

The messenger stared at the envoy of Wei State, and said with disdain: "Why is it impossible? We not only defeated your Wei-Chu coalition army, but also slaughtered 10,000+ people."

Just when the envoy of Wei State was about to argue against the messenger, an eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty has returned to Xianyang, everyone, go and pick him up."

Lu Buwei and Zhang Yi glanced at each other, their faces were filled with unconcealable joy.

Now that Yingzheng has returned safely, it means that what the messengers said is true, and their king really defeated Wei Guo's 3000 people with 30 people.

The envoys of the State of Wei were shocked when they heard the news that Ying Zheng had returned, but they continued to read, gritted their teeth and said, "This matter is not over yet. Our State of Wei has more than 30 people. If you Qin State wants to fight, We're here to accompany you."

The eunuch gave the envoy of Wei State a blank look. He is Yingzheng's personal eunuch. He has been supporting Yingzheng one after another during this expedition to Wei State, so he naturally knows the tragedy of Wei State.

Coughing, the eunuch said slowly: "This time, your lord and General Lu Bu went to 50 cities in Wei State, defeated Wei State's nearly 15 troops, and recruited [-] Wei State troops for our use."

When the Wei envoy heard the news, he was stunned as if struck by lightning. He really didn't believe that 3000 people could do it.

The eunuch probably felt that the envoys of the State of Wei had not been hit hard enough, and continued to say: "Oh, by the way, the king also captured King Wei Anli alive."

This time, the envoy of Wei State was completely suppressed, and the envoy of Wei State who had been extremely domineering now stood there with a pale face.

……

Not only were the envoys of the Wei State frightened, but also the people of the Qin State were frightened. Lu Buwei and Zhang Yi opened their mouths, and the other ministers also looked at the eunuch who was delivering the message in shock.

Wang Jian, Meng Ao and other Qin generals were even more dumbfounded. They had been on the battlefield for so many years, so they naturally knew more about leading troops and fighting than those civilian officials.

3000 people can penetrate the entire Wei State. In the eyes of these veterans, this can only be done by immortals, but Ying Zheng happened to do it.

Lu Buwei looked at the envoy of Wei State viciously, and said to the guards of Qin State nearby: "This one-sided insult to our Qin State and the king, take him down!"

The envoy of the Wei State came back at this time, quickly changed his domineering attitude just now, and simply knelt on the ground to beg for mercy from Lu Buwei and Zhang Yi.

When the guards on both sides heard Lu Buwei's words, they immediately stepped forward to hold up the envoy of Wei State, and even secretly punched him twice.

After punishing the envoy of the Wei State, all the officials of the Qin State rushed out of the city to welcome Ying Zheng. Now their respect for Ying Zheng is continuous like a surging river.

As soon as I left the city, I saw Ying Zheng right in front of the army. Beside him was Lu Bu, who was full of blood and anger, and behind Ying Zheng and Lu Bu, he was shivering in the prison car. Chestnut Wei Anli King.

Lu Buwei and Zhang Yi looked at Ying Zheng with admiration, and they were able to capture King Wei Anli from Daliang to Xianyang alive with only about 3000 people. What a skill it must be.

"Congratulations to the king for capturing King Wei Anli alive." Restraining the horror in their hearts, the two hurriedly saluted Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng jumped off his horse, walked up to Lu Buwei and the officials of the Qin State, and said, "It's just a trivial matter, but I want to let the other six countries know that invading the Qin Dynasty is like an uprising, and I will punish it."

Yingzheng's arrogance soon infected the Wei officials and Daqin soldiers present.

"Long live my king!"

"Long live my king!"

……

Hearing the shouts of these Qin people, King Wei Anli in the prison car couldn't help shrinking his body again. Now that he has arrived in Xianyang, he already knows that he is not far from death.

And the envoy of the Wei State has already been escorted here by the guards, and the punishment of the envoy of the Wei State must naturally be decided by Ying Zheng himself.

Lu Buwei pointed to the envoy of Wei State who was already limp on the ground: "Your Majesty, when you didn't return, this envoy of Wei State was very domineering and threatened us to hand over the sweet potato seeds. How do you see this guy dealt with?"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said to Lu Buwei: "This kind of little character, just kill him."

Lu Buwei has long had this meaning, and now that he has Ying Zheng's consent, he naturally has no scruples.

With a finger of his right hand, the Qin soldiers waiting around the Wei envoy simply chopped off the Wei envoy's head with a sword.

Ying Zheng's arbitrariness in the killing instantly stunned everyone present. What is domineering, this is domineering.

After clearing away the bodies of Wei's envoys, the officials of Qin immediately welcomed Ying Zheng back to the palace.

These officials of the Qin State have long been eager to know what Ying Zheng has done in the Wei State. It is indeed possible to beat the entire Wei State to this point, and even capture their king.

In the court hall, under the pleading of the officials, Ying Zheng also reported to them what he had done in the capital of Wei.

The ministers of the state of Qin were addicted to listening more and more, but what made it difficult for them to accept was that this general named Lu Bu blatantly slaughtered fifteen cities in the state of Wei, and tens of thousands of people died in his hands.

This kind of practice was really hurtful to these conservative ministers of the Qin State, and even in their eyes, this Lu Bu was completely a lunatic who killed people without blood.

But this Lu Bu was brought back by Yingzheng, so the officials of Qin State immediately turned their attention to Yingzheng again.

Ying Zheng glanced at Lu Bu thoughtfully. He had long known that Lu Bu's actions would arouse the dissatisfaction of these people, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Lu Buwei looked at Lu Chuanjiao with a displeased face: "Since the city of Wei has been conquered, why do you still massacre the city!"

Of course Lu Buwei knew that Ying Zheng might be involved in the massacre of the city. He didn't dare to say anything about Ying Zheng, so he could only use Lu Bu to guide him.

Lu Bu replied with a flat face: "I am not a commoner of Daqin, and I will rebel at any time if I stay with them. In the final analysis, they are still people of Wei State. If you kill them, you don't have to worry about rebellion."

As soon as these words came out, the entire court hall of the Qin Kingdom fell into chaos like a hornet's nest that had been overturned by a barrel.

Lu Bu's words really shocked the ministers of the Qin State, and now all the ministers of the Qin State are thinking of the same sentence, that is: "This Lu Bu is indeed whiter than Bai Qi."

Even Li Si couldn't help frowning nearby. Although he agreed with Lu Bu's statement, the slaughter of fifteen cities in a row still made him feel that Lu Bu was a bit crazy.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him again, Ying Zheng could only say helplessly: "There is no justice in war. Lu Bu is also using his own facilities to massacre the people of other countries."

Seeing the ministers calm down, Yingzheng continued to say flatly: "My Great Qin just needs to let the whole world know that my Qin State is only benevolent and righteous to its own people. Anyone who dares to disobey Great Qin is the Great Qin's enemy!"

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, the officials of Qin State took a breath, but they also had to admit that what Ying Zheng said was indeed reasonable.

Now that the whole country is in dispute, if Qin State is not so strong, it will inevitably become like Wei State. At that time, it will be massacred, but it will be the common people of Qin State.

Seeing that Yingzheng supported Lu Bu's actions, Lu Buwei naturally didn't dare to say anything against Lu Bu, so he could only quickly change the subject and said, "Your Majesty, how do you think this Wei Anli King should be punished..."

"Kill, and tell the six kingdoms of Shandong that anyone who dares to disobey Qin will end up with Wei."

In a burst of uncomfortable begging for mercy, King Anli of Wei was simply pushed to the open ground on the outside, and the jerk raised his knife and fell, and the dignified Lord of the Wei Kingdom died on the territory of the Qin Kingdom.

Without waiting for the executioner to collect the body, an eunuch from the palace rushed up and said: "The king has an order to expose the body of King Wei Anli outside the city to warn all countries in the world!"

The death of King Wei Anli immediately caused a huge sensation among the six kingdoms of Shandong.

King Chu Kaolie of Chu State is still frightened to this day. At first, in the border city of Wei State, among the 30 people, there were only [-] Chu troops.

If the Qin State really takes this into account, the degree of collision between the Chu State and the Qin State is no less than that of the Wei State.

Now the state of Wei was pierced by the state of Qin, and even King Anli of Wei was executed. If Yingzheng deliberately turned his anger on the state of Chu, then for the state of Chu now, it would be a disaster of drowning.

Zhao Mu and King Zhao Mourning of Zhao State were also discussing this matter in the palace at this time. Now Zhao State’s national strength can only be regarded as middle-low. Also continued to be weak.

"Zhao Mu, this Qin country, we can't afford to mess with it."

Zhao Mu lowered his head. At first, Ying Zheng was just a small proton, but he had already shown his difference.

Now that Yingzheng has turned into a giant dragon flying in the air, all the six kingdoms in Shandong can only tremble under his feet.

King Han Henghui and Ji Wuye of South Korea were even more worried. If among the six countries, which country is likely to be destroyed by Qin first, it is undoubtedly South Korea.

Among the six countries, South Korea has a very small area, very weak national strength, and is also very close to Qin. If Qin really wants to unify the country, it will undoubtedly be their South Korea that will bear the brunt.

In addition, several other countries were also shocked by Qin's actions this time.

But after this war between Qin State and Wei State, it can be regarded as letting the whole world know Lu Bu's name, and even in the eyes of these countries, this Lu Bu is a sharper existence than Bai Qi.

Inside the Palace of King Qin.

Ying Zheng let go of the bamboo slips in his hand, and continued to rub his tired eyes with his hands.

It has been a while since Yingzheng returned to Qin State. During this period of time, the disputes over Qin State in various countries have never stopped.

But most of these debates were about how to please the Qin State. The strength shown by the Qin State this time really surprised them.

Otherwise, Ying Zheng would not have paid much attention to this kind of work, which was in his expectation.

What bothers him most now is not the six kingdoms in Shandong, but the criticism of Lu Bu from various schools of thought.

Under their own control, Tian She and the Legalists naturally would not criticize Lu Bu too much, but these other factions had a lot of criticisms against Lu Bu.

For these people, Lu Bu's practice of massacre at every turn is really hurtful, especially those Confucian scholars who openly sent a so-called joint letter to Ying Zheng, asking Ying Zheng to punish Lu Bu.

How could Yingzheng agree to this kind of request? Lu Bu was only a hero who made great contributions this time, and asking him to punish a hero for a reason would make other meritorious generals feel disheartened.

Besides, Ying Zheng didn't think there was any problem with Lu Bu's doing so. If he wanted to be an overlord, he couldn't have the benevolence of those women in his heart.

While Ying Zheng was still thinking about these things, a pair of soft and boneless hands gently stroked Ying Zheng's head.

Ying Zheng took a first look and saw who it was if it wasn't Fei Yan. In fact, Ying Zheng also knew that Fei Yan was here naturally for the sake of the various schools of thought.

"Your Majesty, the various schools of thought are powerful, so it's not easy to deal with them. It's too reckless for Lu Bu to understand these things, and it will damage your prestige."

Ying Zheng was careless, and simply put Fei Yan in his arms and said: "War is really about "preserving oneself and destroying the enemy". This is the essence of war and the basis of all military principles."

Seeing Fei Yan looking at him seriously, Ying Zheng chuckled and continued: "In war, destroying the enemy's vitality is the most important, and preserving yourself is the second. In war, don't count every city. Don’t worry about the gains and losses of land, and don’t worry about personal reputation. Only by destroying the enemy’s vitality can you gain the entire world.”

Fei Yan nodded and said: "These concubines are also clear, but..."

"Relax, this trivial matter is still under my control, don't you even trust my talent?"

Seeing what Ying Zheng said, Feiyan quickly said: "How could I not trust you? In my heart, you are the one who can win this world."

Ying Zheng smiled, then took a deep breath and said sternly: "If they submit to my Great Qin, then I will treat them like the common people of my Great Qin, but if they don't submit, then they choose their own path. They’re going to keep going like this.”

Feiyan looked at Ying Zheng with a generous expression, because she saw in Ying Zheng the appearance of a hero.

Yu Feiyan stayed warm in this hall for a while, and Yingzheng started to live in the harem, because there is another part of the harem waiting for him one after another.

"Queen, the king is here."

Hearing what the maid said, Zhao Ji immediately stood up generously. These days, Yingzheng has to deal with a lot of government affairs, so she didn't bother Yingzheng too much, but it doesn't mean she doesn't worry about him.

"Greetings, Queen Mother."

Accepting Ying Zheng's obeisance flatly, Zhao Ji dismissed the surrounding maids and guards immediately with a wave.

With no one else around, Zhao Ji changed her demeanor in an instant, and first checked Yingzheng up and down, for fear that Yingzheng would be injured in the war with Wei.

Feeling Zhao Ji's concerned eyes, Ying Zheng laughed and said, "No need to look, I'm not injured."

Seeing that her plan was seen through, Zhao Ji's face suddenly turned red, and Ying Zheng felt hot.

After some tenderness, the entire bedroom is full of the breath of spring.

……

Outside Xianyang City.

After several days of drying, the body of King Wei Anli was already beyond recognition, and Ying Zheng finally agreed to the request of the Wei envoy to come here to collect the body.

King Anli of Wei's body was hastily put into a nanmu coffin, and the envoys of Wei immediately took them away in despair.

The envoys from other countries looked at King Wei Anli who had been dried out, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

The envoy of Qi State looked at this scene and couldn't help saying: "This King Qin is too ruthless."

The envoy of Yan State did not agree with his point of view: "In today's chaos, if King Qin is captured by King Wei, I'm afraid the end will be worse than this."

The envoys of the other countries also expressed their approval after listening to the words of the envoys of the Yan State. Although their countries have had festivals with the capital of Qin, they also have to admit that the current King of Qin Yingzheng is indeed stronger than other countries. the king.

……

"Hurry up and report, I have work to see the king."

"It's pointless, come in."

When the guards at the door heard Ying Zheng's words, they naturally let Lu Buwei in.

After bowing to Yingzheng, Lu Buwei said bluntly: "Your Majesty, since you returned from Wei State, envoys from the six countries in Shandong have asked us one after another, hoping to have a better relationship with our Qin State."

Ying Zheng laughed and nodded when he heard the words, thinking in his heart: "This is the benefit of strength. If it weren't for the fact that he broke through Wei Guo in the front, how could these countries flatter Qin State so much? To put it bluntly, Aren't you still afraid of becoming the next Wei State?"

"Is there any other important work?"

Lu Buwei pondered for a while and said: "There is another thing, that is, the South Korean envoy brought someone to see me two days ago, and let me recommend it to you."

"Oh? Who?"

"I heard from the South Korean envoy that the person here is called Zheng Guo, and he is here to help Qin build water conservancy projects. But I think [-]% of it is because South Korea wants to use him to consume Qin's national power."

Originally, Yingzheng had no interest in this matter, but when he heard the name Zheng Guo, Yingzheng immediately grabbed Lu Buwei.

"You just said that the man sent from South Korea is called Zheng Guo. Do you dare to confirm that?"

Seeing that Yingzheng had changed so much, Lu Buwei naturally expected that Zheng Guo must be a very important person to Yingzheng, so he said quickly: "Your Majesty, can I not remember this kind of thing? It's really Zheng Guo, now People are still in the noble apartment."

Now Yingzheng can feel relieved, Zheng Guo is a very useful existence in the face of Qin, and the famous Zheng Guoqu of later generations comes from the hands of this person.

In the history of Yingzheng's previous life, Zheng Guoqu was a very important presence on the road of Qin's unification of the six kingdoms.

The Qin State in the previous life was able to roughly unify the world, precisely because of the Zhengguo Canal built by Zheng State and the Dujiangyan built in Shu State.

These two water conservancy projects are like the two wings of the great Qin eagle, allowing Daqin to have a continuous supply of food and grass that can be used in front-line operations.

Thinking of the benefits of Zheng Guo, Ying Zheng quickly said to Lu Buwei: "Repair, let him repair, our Daqin can probably repair it."

Touching his chin with his right hand, what Yingzheng is thinking now is, since the national power of the Qin State is now several times stronger than that of the previous life, can the Zhengguo Canal also be built in a larger area.

You must know that the Zhengguo Canal in the past life could cover [-] hectares of land, turning the entire Guanzhong land into a granary. If the Qin State fully supports it this time, it may create some miracles.

But these naturally need to be discussed with Zheng Guo later. If there is a shortage of taxes, then he is not afraid of Qin at all now, anyway, the current Qin State treasury has plenty of money.

The tax robbed from the State of Wei last time, the treasury of the State of Qin can no longer be piled up, and there is no place to spend it.

Lu Buwei saw that Yingzheng was so concerned about building the canal, so naturally he didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly asked Yingzheng to resign: "The minister will go to ask that Zheng Guo to start construction now, what does your majesty think?"

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "That's very good, let's go."

Seeing Lu Buwei walking out of the hall in a hurry, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This Lu Buwei's work is blatantly useless for me to worry about."

Just now that Lu Buwei was sent away, Ying Zheng immediately welcomed another important minister of his.

"I heard that just now, did you agree with Zheng Guo to build water conservancy in our Qin country?" Zhang Yi asked Ying Zheng with a happy face as soon as he entered the hall.

"Yeah, what? Do you think there's anything inappropriate?"

"No, no, I also feel that the construction of water conservancy is a great merit to our Daqin, but when we are repairing, we must not let the other six countries idle."

When Ying Zheng heard that Zhang Yi's words were related to the six kingdoms of Shandong, he immediately became interested. He had no choice but to have the blood of the old Qin people in his bones.

"Then what do you think we should do, just send troops inappropriately."

Zhang Yi stroked his beard and said calmly: "Look, Your Majesty, the State of Wei will definitely be in ruins after your troubles like this. Not only that, they haven't chosen a new one yet." King Wei, do you think other countries will covet their territory in Wei?"

These words touched Ying Zheng's heart, and Ying Zheng continued Zhang Yi's words and said, "Then what you mean is that we can use the feelings of other countries to covet Wei State, and use it to manipulate their relationship?"

Zhang Yi nodded complacently, and at the same time admired Ying Zheng very much. He had only proposed it for a few years, and Ying Zheng could really figure out the framework of the entire decision-making so quickly.

"Your Majesty, the relationship between Qi State and Wei State has not been good. We might as well send people to contact South Korea and let South Korea and Qi State encircle Wei State from both sides. We are secretly supporting Wei State. Then you can reap the benefits of being a fisherman."

After thinking about it for a while, Ying Zheng felt that this decision was indeed supposed to be perfect. Anyway, there is nothing serious about Qin now.

Besides, this decision has no loss for Qin, so why not do it.

"Then I will leave this matter to you, and we must promote this matter!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will not pay your respects to your Majesty's trust."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yi bowed to Ying Zheng and walked out of the palace gate. Since he wanted to win the interests of Qin, the place Zhang Yi should go to as an envoy first should naturally be Wei Wei, who is currently in dire straits. country.
