"Taifu, the king summoned you to return to Xianyang quickly."

"Back to Xianyang? What's going on? ”

"It seems that Wen Xinhou said that there is a large-scale military dispatch in Zhao State, which may lead to war."

"What!"

Qin and Han truce, since the peace talks, Li Si and others have returned to Xianyang first, but Li Ling is not in a hurry to go back.

First, he had to deal with the demarcation of the border between the two countries and supervise the clean-up of the demilitarized zone, and secondly, he was also worried that South Korea would ask Chu for help, and when the time came, leaving Meng Tian here alone, Li Ling was still a little relieved.

But where would Li Ling have thought that Zhao Guo would suddenly make a move at this time?

You must know that according to the intelligence, Li Mu was kicked back to Yanmen after the battle of Qin and Zhao, and although Han and Qin started the war, the main force of the Qin army was still deployed on the border of Zhao and did not leave!

"Order the 38th Army to quickly adjust the defense of Hangu Pass, and the 54th Army to move to Gaocheng! At the same time, he told Meng Tian that he must be cautious, and he must not be careless because the Korean mission is about to enter Qin, it is difficult to ensure that the military changes of Zhao State at this time have nothing to do with South Korea, and now he needs to pay attention to not only South Korea, but also Chu State! ”

After briefly arranging the situation here, Li Ling didn't dare to delay for a moment, and rushed back to Xianyang directly.

By the time Li Ling returned to Xianyang, the court had become a mess.

The latest news is that the main force of the Zhao army has been fully assembled, with a total of more than 200,000 people, and at the same time, the state of Chu is also conducting troop deployment, but the specific number is unknown.

Is it difficult that now these countries are going to engage in a joint expedition against Qin?

If it is really necessary to join forces to attack Qin again, then now whether it is the main force of the Qin army deployed on the border of Qin and Zhao, or the 54th Army deployed in Gaocheng, or the southwest direction of Qin, it will face an unprecedented crisis.

"Meng Yi, tell me what's going on inside."

Listening to the noise in the hall like a vegetable market, Li Ling had a headache before he entered, and could only stop Meng Yi, who was staying outside the door.

Although Meng Yi has entered the palace, he has no actual official position, he can only stay outside the door on this occasion, and cannot enter to discuss, but the noise inside is too loud, and he can hear it clearly when he stands outside.

"Now it is mainly divided into three factions, one faction is headed by Wang Xiang, they think that this Zhao Chu movement shows that there is a suspicion of confluence again, and advocate shrinking the defense, transferring all the main forces to the vicinity of Hangu Pass, and being ready to respond at any time. One faction, led by Lord Tingwei and Imperial Doctor, believed that the first battle of Wei had proved that the Chu army was not to be worried, and the main force only needed to divide a small part to deal with the Chu army, and the main force could defend the Zhao army with all its might. ”

"And what about the other faction?"

"There is also a faction headed by General Wang Qian, most of whom are military generals, who advocate taking the initiative to attack, strike first, take advantage of Li Mu's absence, and attack in an all-round way to consume the enemy to the greatest extent. When the time comes, small victories will be exchanged for big victories, and the Chu army will naturally not dare to act rashly. ”

"Ha, it's really in line with their character."

Listening to Meng Yi finish talking about the situation, Li Ling couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, what kind of character determines how they look at the problem, Wang Qi has always been conservative, so he chose the most conservative plan, his plan can indeed ensure that the hinterland of Qin will not encounter another crisis, but it also means that the land that has been recaptured in recent years will be handed over again.

Li Si and the others were relatively bold, and determined that the strength of the Chu army was not strong, as long as they held the Zhao army, they could sit back and relax, even if the Chu army really took a few cities, it didn't matter, the loss was not big.

As for Wang Jian and others... But it really convinced Li Ling, the Zhao State and the Chu State had not moved yet, but they had to fight first.

"And what do you think about this?"

Li Ling directly asked Meng Yi's opinion this time.

Meng Yi looked at Li Ling, his eyes were full of surprise, obviously he didn't expect Li Ling to ask himself such a young and unaccomplished person, but in the end, he carefully organized the language and then said his thoughts.

"My nephew carefully looked at the battle against Chu and aided Wei, and found that there were a lot of strange things, and it was too strange for the Chu army to suddenly rout when it had the advantage, so my nephew thought that the Chu army was not defeated, but deliberately showed Qin to be weak."

Meng Yi did not directly explain the current situation, but mentioned the battle to aid Wei.

"So you think the threat of the Chu army is greater?"

"No, on the contrary, my nephew thinks that there is no threat to the Chu army at the moment!"

"Aha?"

What does this mean?

Li Ling was directly stunned by Meng Yi's point of view.

"It is very likely that the Chu army has a big plan, so they will not easily expose their true strength! So the nephew thought they would definitely wait! Not only do you have to wait for Zhao Guo to take action first, but you also have to wait for the results of the battle between Qin and Zhao to come out! At that time, if our army wins a big victory, they will naturally not participate in the war, and if the Zhao army wins, it will be difficult to say. ”

Meng Yi saw that Li Ling's face was indeed listening carefully to his own analysis, and his confidence increased in an instant, and he directly said his opinion, and his opinion was obviously different from everyone's.

"I think we should indeed strike first, but by no means exchange small victories for big victories, but to concentrate absolutely superior forces, with the most resolute posture and the most rapid attack, to completely annihilate part of the main force of the Zhao army that has not yet been fully assembled, at least to ensure that the beheading of no less than 50,000 in the first battle, and then quickly switch to a defensive posture, which can not only deter the Zhao army, but also make the Chu army completely confused about our situation, and dare not act rashly."

"Forehead ......"

After Li Ling listened to what Meng Yi said, except for the tone of his voice unconsciously emitting his forehead, he couldn't see any expression on his face at all, and Meng Yi didn't even dare to gasp, and wondered if his thoughts were too whimsical, after all, his views were different from everyone's.

"Go and tell the king, and say I've arrived!"

After a long time, Li Ling suddenly opened his mouth and asked Meng Yi to enter the hall to report.

Knowing that after Li Ling arrived, there was no sound in the hall in an instant, everyone knew that the real person in charge of the military in this Qin State was Li Ling, and now that Li Ling is here, any arguments between them can be put aside for the time being, just wait for Li Ling to judge.

"His name is Meng Yi, he is my nephew, the king's attendant, the grandson of the old general Meng Wei, the youngest son of General Meng Wu, and the younger brother of General Meng Tian, I believe you all know each other, right?"

After reporting the situation, Meng Yi was about to withdraw from the hall, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by Li Ling's collar and couldn't walk.

Could it be that what he just said was too ridiculous and angered Li Ling?

The hatred in Meng Yi's heart, he is a master, he asked himself, did he really think he was capable?
