After South Korea ceded land and sued for peace, from Gaocheng to Gongcheng has been fully opened, although Li Ling's fief is far away, it is not an isolated city, and it can be regarded as a good place.

However, Li Ling did not plan to run this place, he had to stay in Xianyang, so he simply made a favor, and at the same time, in order to appease Lü Buwei, all the official appointments and affairs of Gongcheng were handed over to Lü Buwei.

Staying in Xianyang, he devoted himself to instilling the thinking mode and governing concept of the new era into Ying Zheng and Cheng Chan, and it seemed to outsiders that he was just an extremely qualified prince, but in fact, Li Ling was using Li Si to secretly develop his own power.

Nesteng has now become another companion of Li Ling in the court, in addition, Nesteng's relationship with Feng Zai, who he brought back to arrest people by leaps and bounds, not only helped Feng Zao take advantage of the opportunity of Yingyiren's amnesty to avoid prison, but even got Feng Zai's father Feng Qujian to Qin State as an official.

As for Wang Qian, he was staying on the border of Qin and Wei at the moment, following Wang Su to the border, but he had not forgotten the task assigned to him by Li Ling before, to develop a guard that was absolutely loyal to Li Ling.

Everything seems to be on track, but it's just what it seems!

Because in just one year in the following year, a series of changes caught Li Ling completely off guard.

At the beginning of spring, when the border between Qin and Wei was still full of suspicions, Wei suddenly used troops against Yan, and then there was a feud with Yan, and the two sides had only reconciled for half a year.

Zhao Guo took the initiative to help Wei State use troops against Yan State, obviously breaking the initial division of power, Zhao State had already put his hand into the Wei State plate that was originally scheduled to be in Qin's sphere of influence, how could Ying Yiren sit idly by?

This time, Ying Zheng and Cheng Chan gave two completely different solutions, Cheng Chan thought that he should seize the opportunity to adopt a strategy of alliance with Zhao, and go through Zhao to conquer Yan, if Zhao promised, then the Yan town that was defeated could become a sharp sword for Qin in Zhao's back, and once Qin Zhao started a war, he could directly send troops from there to attack Zhao's back.

If Zhao does not allow it, then adopt a strategy of cooperation and unity, unite the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan and Han against the Zhao and Wei coalition forces, and take the opportunity to seize Wei.

Ying Zheng and Cheng Chan have completely different ideas, he believes that at this moment, he should go all out to attack South Korea, solve all obstacles to the east in one fell swoop, whether it is to continue to the east or the south and north in the future, and at the same time to make the Sancheon County hanging outside no longer be threatened.

Obviously, compared to Cheng Yiren's opinion, Ying Yiren is more pleasing to Ying Yiren, not to mention that since Lu Buwei became the prime minister, Ying Yiren must also give Mrs. Huayang some benefits in order to make her satisfied.

So, just half a month after Zhao Yan started the war again, Mi Chen reached an agreement with King Zhao, and his confidant Jing Ji was the main general to lead 50,000 Qin troops to attack Yan through Zhao.

In the face of the menacing army of Zhao, Wei and Qin, the Yan State was almost powerless, especially the Zhao army, under the leadership of the general Li Mu, was even more like no one in the territory of the Yan State.

Jing Ji did not let the Empress Dowager Huayang lose face, and after passing through the Zhao State and entering the Yan Kingdom, she captured a city in less than three days, and then another city not long after.

"Master, don't be impulsive! This time, the master must not go to the king! ”

After hearing the battle report from the front, Li Ling immediately couldn't sit still, and went directly to find Ying Yiren to understand.

The army of Zhao State is commanded by Li Mu, and the speed of advancement is too fast, if it goes on like this, Yan State will not last long at all, and when the time comes, Jing Ji's army seems to be a sharp sword in the belly of Zhao State, but in fact, where is this sword, this is the fat meat sent to Zhao Guo's mouth!

Hanging behind the enemy, the danger is overwhelming, if they can't be withdrawn in time, these 50,000 Qin troops will be buried in the land of Yan Zhao.

"It's a little inappropriate for me to go, then you can see if you can find a few people to go to the court tomorrow, go to the king, withdraw the army in time, and don't want the two cities that have been defeated."

"Master, doesn't Master think that now is the best time?"

"Timing?"

"If it is defeated, the 50,000 Qin army, the confidant and favorite general of the prime minister, will become the idea of the prince of the dragon."

"LeSi, are you crazy? That's the lives of 50,000 soldiers! ”

"Please forgive the master, Li Sinai is a villain, I believe that the master can let Li Si stay with the political son, and he must value Li Si as a villain, right? The villain can do anything, as long as he can help the master and the son. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"I've seen the king, I've seen Xiangbang."

Just when Li Ling didn't know what to say, he didn't expect Ying Yi and Lu Buwei to come together, and the topic of the two had to stop.

"Master, don't you know, Xiangbang just brought me good news, Yan Kingdom, Yan Kingdom plans to exchange ten cities for my Great Qin retreat."

"Ten cities? Just retreating? ”

Ying Yiren was overjoyed, Lu Buwei nodded frequently, and Li Ling couldn't dare to see what Yanguo was doing.

"That's right, this is all the work of Xiangbang, if it weren't for Xiangbang, I'm afraid we might not be able to grab ten cities from the hands of King Zhao."

"Oh, it's good, it's good."

It sounds like a sure-fire deal, you can get ten cities without continuing to fight, plus the two that have already been defeated, so that you have a full twelve cities, so that Jing Ji's troops have really become a threat to Zhao State.

But Li Ling always felt that something was not right, and things shouldn't be so simple.

Yan Guo has reached the point of dying of the country, Li Mu's army is so fierce, Yan Guo can't stop it at all, if he really wants to cut the land and seek peace, it should be for Zhao Guo, no matter what, it will not be Qin's turn.

"Father, middle father, Zheng'er thinks that we shouldn't agree, or we should prepare for war in time."

Just when Li Ling was meditating hard and couldn't find anything wrong, Ying Zheng suddenly stood up.

"Zheng'er is still resentful of the widow for not adopting your plan? The widow knows that you think long-term, but your brother's plan is more realistic, you know? ”

"No, Zheng'er thinks that Yan Guo's request for peace must be deceitful, and Zheng'er thinks that we should prepare for war in time to prevent Yan and Zhao from reaching an agreement in private, so as to suddenly use troops against our Great Qin."

"Zheng'er, you can read military books, but you can't die reading, you must learn to live and learn. Your worries are indeed reasonable, but the main force of the Zhao army is now all in the territory of Yan State, even if there is a peace between Yan and Zhao State, it will take a lot of time for Zhao Army to move, not to mention that now we have twelve cities in Yan State, even if Zhao State really makes a move, it will not be able to escape the eyes of the widow. ”

Ying Yiren looked like he was in his chest, and Ying Zheng had no choice but to give up.
