In the 7th year of Qi Yuan, half a year after Qi Ran took Zhou Yu, Liu Jin, and Liu Qingyuan away, the border army of Qin caused a conflict due to the cross-border hunting of Chen's army, and the armies of the two countries fought without declaring war, and both sides suffered casualties.

The unsuccessful negotiations between the envoys of Chen and Qin on the border led to more intense conflicts.

The general of the Qin State, Ming Spiegel, reported to the imperial court, believing that Chen Guo was deliberately provoking, and the wolf's ambition was clearly exposed. The Qin State treats each other with etiquette, which is to encourage the arrogance of the other party. should face the blow head-on, so that the other party does not dare to repeat the incident.

When the envoy presented the joint letter of the soldiers in front, he attached the whereabouts of Yue Yang.

Yueyang left Qinjing for a year, traveled around the world, and had a lot of money in various countries.

Spiegel believes that the constant disputes on the Chen-Qin border have a certain relationship with Yueyang.

"For the sake of a desire for power, he did not hesitate to put the country in danger. Such a person is also a great enemy of the country. "Emperor Qin was greatly annoyed by Yue Yang's actions.

"Father, Yue Yang has a heart, if Chen Huang has no intention, she can't set off a big storm. It seems that war between the two countries is inevitable. Zhao Zheng said.

His identity was restored after the case was investigated clearly, and he is now the crown prince of Qin - Zhao Zheng.

"With the current strength of the Qin State, it is not a good opportunity to go to war." Emperor Qin knew that the Qin State was now weak in national strength, and the highest victory rate against the Chen State was only 40%, so he did not want the two countries to go to war.

"Father, if Chen Huang didn't have a chance of winning, he wouldn't have started this war. The decision in this battle is not in our hands. Zhao Zhengdan said.

Chen Huang was not a good person, and the current situation of the Qin State was an opportunity for him. Yue Yang disregarded his shame and threw himself into his arms, with the aim of starting a war as soon as possible.

"I know. If Chen dares to go to war, Qin will not be afraid to fight. It's just that the autumn harvest is imminent, even if the war starts, it should also be over until the autumn harvest. ”

Emperor Qin knew that the crops of the Qin State were growing well this year, and this was a bumper harvest year, and he did not want to go to war at this time.

Chen Guo's choice of this time to go to war is naked plunder.

"Father, your will should be clearly communicated to General Spiegel. Chen Huang is not yet able to start a full-scale war for the time being.

As far as Erchen knows, Chen Huang does not trust You Ran and You Hou, the army generals are frequently transferred, and Chen Huang's cronies have been placed in important positions, which is to set up the two of them. It saves us a lot of trouble. ”

When Zhao Zheng said this, there was a smile on his face, Chen Huang was originally 70% sure, but now he was only 55% sure, which was definitely good news for Qin State.

"Chen Huang has been laid out for many years, You Ran and You Hou are Qi Ran's cronies, Qi Ran and Chen Yu are good friends, and Chen Huang has always distrusted the two. The two have long been marginalized, but Chen Huang will not do anything to the two of them, and will give Chen Yu two generals. ”

Qin Huang said lightly that he still knew about the situation in Chen State.

In his opinion, the probability of You Ran and You Hou leading the army to fight is not high, but at the same time, he also knows that You Ran and You Hou are the same as Qi Ran, and they have family and country feelings. In the matter of defending the homeland and the country, they will certainly put the interests of the country first.

If Chen Huang can let go of his prejudices, use their feelings for his family and country, and reuse the two, Chen Guo may be able to make a quick decision.

But if they can make the thorn in Chen Huang's heart deeper, Chen Huang will use his cronies, and there are only two people who can lead troops to fight, Chen Meng and Qian Jin.

Chen Guo lost many famous generals in the Wu Guifei incident that year, and there were many good generals who followed Zhenyuanhou, but they were all cleaned up.

Although there is no shortage of good generals in You Ran and You Hou, Chen Huang does not trust the two, so it is even more impossible to reuse their cronies, and the commander of the three armies must be one of Chen Meng and Qian Jin. The end of the world

Although Chen Meng and Qian Jin are also the best among the generals of Chen Guo, they have no actual combat experience, and more importantly, they do not agree with the purpose of You Ran and You Hou to lead troops, and think that there should be no atmosphere in the army.

The military soul created by You Ran and You Hou is the feelings of family and country, and they will "sacrifice themselves and forget their deaths to serve the country and the people", but at the same time, their view of right and wrong is very clear, and they are soldiers with ideas and ideals.

If the war drags on for a long time and the people are in dire straits, they will be dissatisfied with the court and disrespectful to the commander.

With the personalities of Chen Meng and Qian Jin, at that time, it will not be able to stabilize the morale of the army, and then the Qin army will have a chance.

"Emperor, General Mingjing has come to see me." After thinking for a moment, Emperor Qin ordered Zhao Zheng.

"Yes." Zhao Zheng hurriedly went to deliver the will. If his guess is correct, Emperor Qin wants to fight a protracted war.

As long as the Chen army penetrates deep into the Qin realm, as long as the Qin state drags the three armies in the territory, it will not be able to support the Chen treasury in less than a year. And after the Qin State let Chen Jun go deep alone, he couldn't get a grain of grain from the Qin State. At that time, it will be too late for Chen Huang to regret it.

......

You Ran went down and went home sullenly. Seeing him like this, Mingxin handed the child over to the nurse and asked her to take it away.

"The court has decided?" Mingxin asked with concern. After she gave birth, her figure recovered well, and now she has more mature charm.

"War with Qin is inevitable." You Ran said.

He was not optimistic about the war. This is an invasion of other countries, not a defense of the country, this is Chen Huang's expansionist policy.

"You Shangshu, since it is inevitable, let it be." Mingxin comforted.

You Ran is now the secretary of the military department, and he will not go to the front to lead troops to fight.

"Madam, what do you think about the war between the two countries?" You Ran heard Mingxin say this, raised his eyebrows and asked.

Qi Ran suspected Mingxin's identity, and he also secretly investigated, and the result was that she was an orphan of the country, and it was Wei Ning's family who adopted her.

The Wei Ning family is inclined to the Qin State, there is no doubt about this. You Ran wanted to know Mingxin's attitude.

"In my opinion, no war is best. But if there is a war, many things cannot be decided by oneself. But I'm sure it's not easy to survive. ”

Mingxin didn't care about You Ran's inquiry, since war between the two countries was inevitable, then most people would experience the pain of war. Since You Ran can't do anything about this, she can't do anything about it.

"I don't want to see Chen Guo's military and civilians plunged into war." You Ran sighed deeply and said.

"Do you have any good ideas?" Mingxin has a pair of beautiful eyes to see Youran. She didn't know what a good way You Ran had.

"In the court today, I had an argument with Chen Meng and his party. It's a pity that the lords of the court are one-sided. Your husband is now alone. You Ran's eyes were full of worry.

Mingxin heard You Ran doing this in the court, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. This matter is obviously handled by Chen Huang, and Chen Meng and those people are just spokespersons! Those adults in the court knew that of course they would fall on one side.

"Husband, you have done your part. It's not something you can do. It is better for us not to see and not to hear. Mingxin personally made hot tea for You Ran, brought it to him and said.

"As the Minister of Military Affairs of the DPRK and China, how can I be in the clouds? This is a militaristic affair. You Ran listened to Mingxin's words lightly and sighed deeply. He looked helpless!
