Queen Xuan wanted to wait for the progress of the allied forces to attack Qin before sending troops, and if there was no progress, she would not send troops.

Not only did the spirit envoy think so, but even almost all the ministers of Xuanguo thought so.

After the envoy left, Yao Tingyu was also the first to stand up and said tentatively: "King, do you want to wait for the allies to defeat the main force of the Qin army before participating in the destruction of Qin?" ”

As soon as his voice fell, before King Xuan could speak, another minister said: "With the wisdom of my king, this is really the best policy, wait for the opportunity to send troops, so that my Xuan army will not only not have much loss, but also be able to profit from the destruction of Qin." ”

This was everyone's idea, and all the ministers said in unison: "The king is wise—"

King Xuan smiled slightly, and did not give any explanation for this, but changed his words: "By the way, Qin General Wei Qing, how is the situation about the attack on Wu?" ”

"The Wu army has returned to the defense and temporarily stopped the Qin army." Yao Tingyu said.

"Huh." King Xuan smiled again, "King Qin's actions have always been strange, and the courage of the countries to act like this dared to advance the war." ”

"The king is ...... saying"

Yao Tingyu just wanted to ask, but King Xuan had already interrupted him: "Okay, there is nothing to discuss in this matter, it is a problem of the Qin State, today's court discussion, let's stop here, this king is a little tired." ”

As she spoke, she also stepped down from the throne, and when the ministers saw this, they hurriedly saluted: "Congratulations to the king——"

State of Qin.

The suspicion of the war was shrouded, and the court had naturally exploded, and the controversy had been for many days, and many people sued for peace, ceding land and losing money, in order to tide over the crisis.

As a result, Xiao Yuanli rejected public opinion, insisted on adopting the opinions of the main battle faction, and appointed Su Yi as the general of Zhengdong, and led the troops to Shanyuguan to garrison.

Under the condition that the conscription has never been interrupted, the total strength of the Qin State is now about the same as that of the Spirit Kingdom, at more than 600,000.

Among them, 100,000 are still on the border of Wu.

There are 100,000 in Zhao Mu's place, and it is very likely that he will fight against the Huan army, and he will not be able to return to the division for the time being.

There are 50,000 in Qinguan, which cannot be mobilized.

In other words, the number of domestic adjustable troops is about 400,000.

wants to defeat the coalition army with 400,000 troops, many ministers are not optimistic, but the generals dare to fight, and Xiao Yuan also dares to take this battle.

With the issuance of the military order, the Qinzhou battalion was directly emptied.

For a time, countless troops, fully armed, began to run through the streets, through the city, and marched towards the mountain pass.

Such a large army mobilization naturally cannot hide from the eyes of the nations, and similarly, both sides of the street are also surrounded by people, and almost all of them have worries on their faces.

Qin's policy has always insisted on benefiting the people and benefiting the people, and the people in the country can be said to have a stable life, with acres of land to cultivate and houses to live in.

No one wanted to see the defeat of the Qin army.

Someone said with a worried face: "Have you heard, these five countries are all targeting our Qin State, how is this good......?"

"Humph! The countries of the Central Plains have always looked down on us Qin people! They just can't get used to seeing us getting richer and stronger! Others were indignant.

"That's right! The nations have conspired several times to ruin our lives now! How ambitious is the king to go to war with the nations! ”

"What is so great about the nations! It's a big deal, it's the same as fighting Xijon, we're carrying a hoe! ”

During the discussion, some people raised their arms and shouted: "The Qin army will win!" ”

"The Qin army will win—"

On both sides of the street, earth-shattering shouts rang out.

The Qin State, the bitter cold land in the northwest, is still martial, and in difficult times, it is a place where all the people can definitely be soldiers.

In this war, there is no problem with the people's will, let alone the army's will.

Qin Palace, the palace of the concubine.

This news came from the old eunuch and was reporting to Shang Rui: "Your Majesty, the old slave heard that the countries have made an alliance and are about to send troops to destroy Qin. ”

"What!?" Hearing this, Shang Rui's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Is this serious!?" ”

"Your Majesty, the news is true." The old eunuch bowed and said.

"Good! All right! To be sure, Shang Rui's face was immediately full of excitement, his hands were clasped together, and he said excitedly: "The nations should have made this move a long time ago, and I can finally return to the imperial capital!" ”

Being able to return to the imperial capital is his biggest dream now, and he has never thought about it, even if the Qin State is really defeated, how much better can he be, and how can the Spirit King take him seriously.

In the excitement, he couldn't help but hold the little hand of the concubine: "Concubine Ai, you heard, the countries are unanimously attacking Qin, and they want to welcome me back to the imperial capital, and the king of Qin is about to finish!" ”

The beautiful eyes of the concubine moved slightly, and her mind was full of turns.

This is a big deal, in her heart, she can't tell whether she is happy or worried, but in her mind, Xiao Yuan's figure appeared for no reason.

In the end, she could only smile slightly and said, "If Your Majesty can really return to the imperial capital, it will be the best." ”

"yes, yes, it won't be long." Shang Rui was excited.

Seeing this, the old eunuch said tentatively: "But Your Majesty, the old slave has also heard that now the King of Qin is already mobilizing a large army, and it seems that he is going to compete with the allies of other countries." ”

"Oh?" Shang Rui smiled and said with a smile: "That can only be said that the king of Qin is beyond his strength, the six countries in the world, and the five countries attack Qin, how can he resist?" ”

"Yes, what Your Majesty said is extremely ......"

Qin Wangfu.

Xiao Yuan was looking at the military map on the wall with his hands behind his back.

After a while, he turned around and said, "The countries are about to send troops, Wei Qing's side, let him not fight anymore, and give the order to withdraw to Ningyang." ”

Liu Yuzhi said: "Now in the battle of Wu, General Wei Qing has no defeat, if he continues to use troops to Wu, can he effectively contain the Wu army?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Yuan said directly: "Defending is different from attacking, the Wu army only needs tens of thousands of troops, hold the city, Weiqing will face a bloody battle, instead of this, it is better to retreat to Ningyang and block the key points of the landing of the Wu army's naval division, and at the same time, we can also put the main battlefield in Shanyu Pass." ”

"The king is very worried." Jia You continued: "It is the safest to retreat to Ningyang, but we hope that the Wu army can attack from Ningyang and give it a head-on blow." ”

"This time, I'm afraid that the Wu army will not attack Ningyang again, but the troops are stationed, and they still can't move." Xiao Yuan said a word, and then said: "Next, if the spirit army takes the lead in attacking Puyang and Yiyang, this king decides to adopt your opinion, give up these two places first, and immediately send an order to Zhang Gongyou to prepare for retreat." ”

"The king is wise." Jia You bowed and saluted.

Xiao Yuan looked at Liu Yuzhi again: "Grain, grass, ordnance, logistics and supplies, and all other military dispatches, there will be Prime Minister Lao." ”

"Yes, Weichen takes the order."

"This battle is related to the danger of the Qin State, and it is also related to the danger of the nations, whether it is victory or defeat, and it is a battle here......"
