Chapter 221: King Qin Wulie
"Rectify the old Qin, go to the national disaster together, the blood will not be drained, and the death will not be truce......" The high war songs in the city sounded from time to time, King Qin Wulie propped his hands on the windowsill, listening to the impassioned singing, in his heart, the fierce war songs sung by countless rough voices were better than those songs sung by the kataka raised in the palace under the accompaniment of pleasant musical instruments, and they could make him feel more relaxed.
The Black Ice Platform is the tallest building in Xianyang City, and the place where King Qin Wulie is standing now is the highest place in the Black Ice Platform, from the outside, this highest palace in Xianyang is magnificent and magnificent, beautiful, but if you walk in, you will be surprised, compared with the magnificence outside, the wide hall inside is empty and nothing, no decoration, no furniture, except for the big pillars that hug each other, this hall, can not find anything else.
Of course, what makes him special is on the floor of this hall. The pure black stone was polished to a remarkable finish, and the white lines came and went, but in the hall was a map that included the entire Central Plains, and whenever King Qin Wulie walked in this hall, the entire Central Plains was trampled under his feet.
The singing in the city seemed to be endless, a wave just left, a wave rose again, King Qin Wulie's face was full of excitement, turned around, sonorous, in his own palace, the supreme ruler of the Qin State actually wore a full set of armor, every step of the way, the pages of the armor hit each other, making a dull sound.
"Rectify Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together, blood will not be shed, and death will not be truce!" King Qin Wulie hummed softly, and his burly figure walked quickly in the hall, muttering, "Two Aiqing, every time I hear this song, I feel my blood boiling, and my whole body is full of fighting spirit, and I want to get on the horse and charge into battle!"
In front of King Qin Wulie, two generals who were also wearing armor and stomach sat cross-legged on the cold ground, their helmets were placed in front of them, and the two of them put their hands on their knees, sitting upright and straight. One has a white beard, although his face is full of wrinkles, but it is like engraved on his face, which looks extremely hard, and the other is about forty years old, at first glance, it seems to be a white-faced scholar, but if you take a closer look, you can see the difference of this person, that is, his eyes are extremely sharp, in front of King Qin Wulie, he looks down most of the time, but occasionally lifts up, but it is difficult to hide that murderous aura.
These are the two most famous generals of the Qin State now, Ying Teng and Li Xin.
Ying Teng is a royal family and the uncle of King Qin Wulie, and Li Xin is King Qin Wulie's childhood partner, and the two are also the most trusted people of King Qin Wulie.
Hearing King Qin Wulie's emotion, Ying Teng frowned slightly and pouted, but Li Xin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your duty is to strategize on the temple, rejuvenate the country and strengthen the people, and leave the matter of winning a thousand miles to me and the old general Ying Teng. You don't have to count on such a sword-wielding thing."
King Qin Wulie walked up to the two of them and sat down cross-legged, "You two are really boring, can't you hold me and make me happy?"
"Coaxing the king, there are courtiers in the palace." Ying Teng said stiffly: "The king, the minister and Li Xin are all important ministers of the country, generals, they will only tell the truth to the king, and there may be frequent outspoken offenses, but there will never be anything to make the king happy."
Hearing these unceremonious words, King Qin Wulie couldn't help but have a sinking face.
"The old general's words are biased!" Li Xin started the round with a smile, "You and I are on the battlefield, annihilating the enemy and destroying the country, naturally it will make the king happy."
Ying Teng turned to look at Li Xin, his face was quite dissatisfied, and he was about to say something more, but King Qin Wulie waved his hand, "That's it, looking for the two of you, it wasn't originally to make you happy, you are all my generals, if you really understand how to make me happy, then Great Qin will be in danger."
Ying Teng nodded slightly, as if this was the right thing. Li Xin on the side smiled slightly, but his eyelids drooped again.
"Tell me, what do you think? Is it feasible, and if it does, what are the odds of winning? How much damage will our army suffer, and how many years will it take to recover?" King Qin Wulie stared at the two of them and asked.
Ying Teng looked at Li Xin, but Li Xin raised his hand and said, "Please say it first, the old general."
Ying Teng nodded, "Your Majesty, if you want to take the Central Plains, you must first level the border troubles, the strategy set by the king is no problem, our country has a very long border area with the Xiongnu, and we will inevitably knock on the gate every year, in order to deal with them, we have spent a lot of military and material resources, which makes us not have enough strength to sweep the Central Plains, so it is correct to solve them first on top of the theory, the minister is just worried, this time the Xiongnu King has gathered such a huge army, can we win the battle?"
"Li Xin, what do you say?"
"Your Majesty, the Hun cavalry is the mainstay, coming and going like the wind, in the past it was difficult for us to seize his main force for a decisive battle, which is also the reason why we have been able to solve them although our national strength is far superior to the Huns, but we have never been able to solve them, this time with Ye Tiannan's help, the Hun King actually gathered the main force to take Zhao Guodai County, for us, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the opportunity cannot be lost, and it will not come again. If we give up this opportunity, I am afraid that we will never have the opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the Xiongnu in the future and solve the border troubles in one fell swoop." Li Xin's tone was affirmative, "So, I agree with the king's idea."
"I'm not disagreeing!" Ying Teng looked at King Qin Wulie, "The opportunity is indeed rare, but we must also assess the losses we may suffer first."
"Uncle, did the prime minister look for you yesterday?" King Qin Wulie said suddenly.
"Not bad!" Ying Teng didn't care about the attitude of King Qin Wulie, "But he can't influence my thoughts, I just want to ask the king to be more cautious, the plan proposed by the minister is not unfeasible, in the border reins, the city wall will be extensive, and it will be connected as one, once it is successful, it will only need a small number of troops to stop the invasion of the Huns."
King Qin Wulie smiled, "Has the Prime Minister ever told you how much manpower, how much material resources, and how much silver money is needed to build a city wall of this scale?"
Ying Teng shook his head, "I don't know if he said it, he didn't say it, but there must be a lot. But I think that if you can spend money to solve the problem, you can shed less blood of old Qin Erlang, and it can also be done."
"Uncle, you're wrong!" King Qin Wulie shook his head and said: "To build a city wall of this scale, it will take decades to succeed, and even if it is completed, it may not be able to stop the Huns."
King Qin Wulie lay on the ground, his hand slashing over the lines on the ground, "Uncle, please look, such a vast frontier line, can we judge where the Huns are attacking?" Repair the city wall, is the offensive and defensive situation, from then on, is the enemy attack and I defend, with the city wall, my old Qin people will have a slack heart, you must know that the frontier, not in the city wall, but in the hearts of the people. As soon as people's hearts are slack, there will be thousands of miles of city walls, which is also in vain. Moreover, the construction of such a Great Wall will inevitably exhaust the national strength of our Great Qin, and for decades, we will not want to go further east. It's simply not going to work."
Listening to King Qin Wulie's words, Ying Teng's face changed color slightly.
King Qin Wulie smiled and said: "The prime minister has other plans, he and the people behind him don't want us to go east, and it is their purpose to hold on to the defects."
Ying Teng was silent for a long time, "If the king is determined, the old minister must go all out."
"Good!" King Wulie of Qin high-fived and smiled, "If you want to map the Central Plains, first solve the border troubles of the Huns, this is my great Qin national policy, it is imperative, but if there is an opponent, I can only take him down first, the prime minister is old, and his body is sick, when he recuperates, I can't bear him to work for the country anymore, and he will go home tomorrow to care for the elderly. What does Uncle think?"
"Since the king has made up his mind, the prime minister should abdicate and make way for the virtuous, once the war starts, the army must have a stable rear and an endless supply of materials. If the prime minister does not approve of this move, it is not appropriate to stay in the position of coordinating the overall situation." Win Teng nodded.
"Uncle agrees, and this matter will be easy to handle!" King Qin Wulie stroked his palms and smiled. How to fight this battle? Do you have any ideas?"
"In this battle, the first thing is to take a surprise, and in this regard, we have taken the lead." This time, Li Xin did not give in and spoke directly, "Ye Tiannan's painstakingly planned move to attack Zhao from all sides has provided us with an excellent opportunity, and the King of the Huns thinks that we will not let go of this great opportunity to attack Zhao, but unexpectedly, our target is him, this battle has not yet begun, we have already taken the lead."
"Go on."
"In order to guard against us, Zhao transferred Zhao Mu's tens of thousands of standing troops in Daijun to the opposite side of us, which gave the Huns the opportunity to drive straight into Daijun, Daijun will definitely suffer, but the deeper the Huns enter Daijun, the greater our victory. So the king said that this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is true. It's easy to get in, but it's hard to come back." Li Xin Da laughed.
"If you are in command, how are you going to deal with the Huns, they must have more than 100,000 cavalry!" King Qin Wulie asked.
"The king has already made up his mind in his heart, so he doesn't need to go down to the courtiers, right?" Li Xin said with a smile. Then I ask the king to make it clear."
Ying Teng also nodded, "Since the king has an idea in his heart, he will tell the old minister and Li Xin, if it is feasible, it will be done, if it is not feasible, we will discuss it again."
King Qin Wulie smiled bitterly, this uncle, whose temper is as hard as a stone, has not given himself face since he was a child, and it has never changed for decades. But it's also very strange, the more he doesn't pretend to himself, the more he believes in him, and the facts also tell him that this approach is right, because he ascended the throne at the age of twenty to his early forties now, and in his twenty years on the throne, from the sword and sword shadow at the beginning, to the various open and secret battles later, this stone-like uncle has always stood on his side.
"The Huns have more than 100,000 cavalry, and I, I will give you 200,000 horses, two to one troops, including 20,000 cavalry, can you do it?" King Qin Wulie said. (To be continued.)
