Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Panicked Liyang Family
The development of things is always relative, and when it is beneficial for one party, it will also be bad for the other, after all, something that can meet everyone's requirements at the same time sounds like a fantasy and cannot exist in reality.
When Wei was humiliated by the breaking of the treaty between the countries, and the king of Wei was uneasy for several days, the ministers of the clan in Liyang who heard that the alliance of the Central Plains countries were attacking Qin, seeing that the days of the countries to conquer Qin were coming day by day, they also tossed and turned, waiting with bated breath.
However, five days later, the expected combined army of the Central Plains countries did not appear on the border line of Qin, which made the Yingqian on the front line of Chongquan and the guard of Wuguan Che Xing couldn't help but worry in his heart, so the battle reports on the front line were sent one after another to Yingquliang, the king of Qin, who was anxiously waiting in Liyang City.
As the saying goes, guns are easy to grab, but hidden arrows are hard to find. If the combined forces of the Central Plains countries are just the local soldiers pressing the border, and they are fighting with the Qin people freely, and the Qin people are defeated, then they can't complain about others;
But the fear that has been lingering in my heart like this, dispensable, and looming from time to time, is the most frightening and the most cowardly. After all, if you are a good man, you should put on a posture in a bright and bright manner, and fight it out, instead of hiding in the dark and releasing cold arrows.
Originally, the national strength of the Qin State was far weaker than that of the Central Plains countries, not to mention that this time the Central Plains countries still jointly attacked Qin, but I didn't expect the countries to still have such thoughts, and suddenly the Ying Qian on the front line wanted to scold his mother, but he had no choice but to strengthen the defense line, boost the morale of the army, and send more secret agents in the army to investigate suspicious news.
The state of Qin.
"Report, front-line emergency..."
For several days, in the Qin State Mansion, there were always more than a dozen ministers of the clan who sat around from morning to night, just to quickly learn about the military situation on the front line.
Now looking at one after another soldiers holding urgent military orders, after handing over the military information on the front line to Youji, he suddenly stretched his neck, wanting to find out the content of the military text in the bamboo tube that was wrapped in sheepskin.
Hearing the official of the department say in a loud voice: "The general returns: the army of the Central Plains countries has not been seen on the front line", the minister of the Qin State who was watching sighed heavily, and returned to his position at a loss, with a dejected posture, after all, it was indeed extremely uncomfortable to be unable to sleep for several days and nights.
Alas, the key is that there have been three such military reports in one day, all of which are the clans who have not seen any trace of the enemy, and who have been waiting for news all day and night, do not know whether to laugh or cry at this time.
These dog things, using knives does not give people a pleasure, I am afraid that if I can sleep peacefully tonight, the minister of Qin, who is still asleep tomorrow morning, will be cut off by the sudden enemy to receive the reward.
"Let's go, even if you die, you Grandpa Qin, you will also hack one to death to make a coffin book", only to hear a family with a resolute face, walk out of the room that filled the room with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, and then take a big breath, look to the east and shout loudly.
With the calm departure of a clan, the ministers of the Qin clan who were sitting in the corner of the national capital suddenly had a few eager to try, and they looked like they were about to leave, but after all, they were still a minority.
After all, if you can know the news from the front line at a moment's notice, each family can make some preparations in advance, even if you die, you can know why you died, and you can die clearly.
"Those ministers are still in the palace?" , In the Qin Palace, looking at the Yingqu beam of the wooden map of the countries hanging on the wall, he whispered to the black man next to him.
"Back to the king, in the palace, there are indeed more than a dozen clans waiting for news every day. However, this is only a minority, and they are all unofficial and unemployed people...".
Ying Quliang heard what the black man next to him said, but he didn't answer, and fell into deep thought, making people wonder whether he agreed with the trip of the minister of the world or was full of disgust.
"Your Majesty, at this time, you still have to work together....", Hei Bo, who was full of worries about Yingqu Liang, saw that he had watched the second son who had grown up since he was a child, and the current Qin King Yingqu Liang had not spoken for a long time, so he immediately said softly.
After all, now that the Qin State looks like a catastrophe, there can be no more accidents, so at this time, it is even more necessary to avoid the cracks between the monarchs and ministers above the court of the Qin State.
Now seeing that Yingqu Liang has not spoken for a long time, Hei Bo is very worried, because he understands that the King of Qin in front of him has a deep mind, and if he doesn't speak, he already represents his attitude.
"Can all the soldiers from all over the country be arranged? Will the government still be able to squeeze out some food? After a long time, Ying Quliang suddenly said.
For the Qin family, Yingquliang has indeed not had a good impression in his heart, not to mention that when he first succeeded to the throne, he was afraid because of the power of the family above the court, and this time when the Qin State Mansion was about to fall, the performance of the old family also made Yingquliang very dissatisfied, and even disgusted.
As the minister of Qin, even if he does not have any real position above the court of Qin, he is in charge of a certain department, but he is also a person who bears the glory of Qin.
Now that the Qin State is in trouble, he doesn't want to try his best to share the worries of the country, so he actually makes trouble in the official palace of the Qin State and disrupts the order of the Qin State official government, which makes those officials of the Qin State who come in and out, how will they treat the ministers of the world in the future? It's a shame.
What made Yingquliang even more angry was that there was still a minister of the Qin State who played it, saying that Liyang was too close to Hexi and was vulnerable to the attack of the Wei army occupying Hexi, hoping that he Yingquliang could move the capital back to Yongcheng, set things right, and correct the dynasty.
Thinking of this, Ying Quliang still feels laughing now, setting things right? Those ministers who played didn't want to think about who moved the capital to Liyang City, it was their father-in-law.
What's more, if you feel that Liyang is vulnerable to the attack of the Wei army in Hexi, then you should recapture the Hexi land of Qin and snow the shame of Qin for a hundred years. It would be even more ridiculous to say anything about the right dynasty, it is nothing more than to fight for power and profit, and I really don't know whether to live or die.
"Your Majesty, soldiers from all over the country are already converging on Liyang City. But if this is the case, the rumors that the government stopped before? After hearing this, Hei Bo hurriedly said.
"No, now that the Five Kingdoms are attacking, it is not only a disaster for my Qin country, but also a disaster for my Qin people. If the people of the Qin State are unwilling to follow the government to resist, then even if our Qin State is lucky enough to avoid this time, it will exist in name only."
When Hei Bo heard this, he suddenly felt a whole body, looked at Yingquliang and said loudly: "The old Qin people are all good men, and they will not give the land that their ancestors exchanged for flesh and blood to the people of the six countries of Shandong for nothing."
At that time, the old slave will follow this lord and go together to kill those who intend to infect my Great Qin. Bow to Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together".
When Ying Quliang heard this, he was immediately enthusiastic, looking at the old man who had followed Qin Ting since his father-in-law, and now he was assisting him, and said loudly: "Old Qin, go to the national disaster together."
Qin State, Taishi Mansion.
After receiving the report on the frontline battle in the national government, Du Zhi, who was panicked in his heart, hurriedly came to the Ganlong Mansion of the Taishi of Qin.
But after Nazhi entered the Taishi Mansion, he saw Lao Ganlong, half-lying in the pavilion with a comfortable face, leisurely looking at the bamboo slips on the table in front of him, without the slightest panic, so he asked with a strange face: "Master Taishi, have you not received any news from the front?" ”
Lao Ganlong, who was concentrating on looking through the official documents of the Qin State over the years, heard the voice around him at this time, and raised his head slightly, and saw Du Zhi with an anxious face, Yang Mao, the minister of the Qin State, and Tu Chi.
"Du Zhi, raise the doctor, General Tu came to the old man's mansion, why didn't he tell him in advance?" Old Ganlong looked at Du Zhi and said in a deep voice.
Before Du Zhi could explain, Yang Mao on the side looked at the calm look of Master Gan in front of him, and suddenly said urgently: "My old lady, when is this coming?" Tu Chi on the side also echoed.
"Oh, what's wrong?".
"Teacher, five days have passed now, but in the military reports on the front line, they all say that they have not seen the armies of the Shandong countries, and now there are secret rumors in the national capital that the Great Liang Alliance is just a pretense.
The five states of Shandong were not at all after the Great Liang Alliance, and then formed a joint army to attack our Qin State from Hexi, but each country sent its own troops to crusade against our Qin State in multiple ways. Du Zhi waited for Gan Long to ask a question at this time, and hurriedly replied to make up for his rude behavior just now.
"That's right, I also said that now more than 100,000 people in the Chu State have taken a boat against the river to cross the land of Bashu, bypassing Wuguan to attack our Qin State; And Zhao Hou of Zhao also led 100,000 people to attack the hinterland of our Qin State from the Diaoyin area.
As for the general's face in the Chongquan area, the allied forces of Wei, Han, and Qi totaled 200,000 people."
"I'm afraid that the teacher's previous plan to watch the fire from across the strait is going to fail, and now the five kingdoms of Shandong are determined to destroy my Qin country", Du Zhi then glanced at it apprehensively, and continued hesitantly.
Looking at the three people in front of him who were talking about what they had heard with panicked faces, Lao Ganlong was not only not frightened by what he said, but laughed out loud.
Looking at the laughing old lady, even Du Zhi, who was a disciple, had a very bad look on his face at this time.
After all, others are seriously thinking about you, digging out their hearts and lungs for your good, and you don't appreciate it, and you still laugh and ridicule, doesn't that seem to be other people's dogs and nosy with mice?
"Master Taishi, if that's the case, then forgive Yang Mao for being amorous today", Yang Mao said with a red face on the spot.
When Lao Ganlong saw Yang Mao and Tu Chi, who were full of shame and were about to leave, he immediately explained: "The old man is not laughing at the two, it's just that countries attack Qin in many ways, it's really ridiculous."
As soon as Lao Ganlong's voice fell, the faces of Yang Mao and Tu Chi, who were about to leave, looked a little better, and they said in a deep voice: "Where did Master Taishi say this? ”
"The five countries of Shandong have been filthy with each other for hundreds of years. Although the Qin State is weak, it will take some effort to annex the Qin State.
If it is a joint army to attack Qin, the old man will still believe it; However, if one country does not keep its promise to send troops, then take advantage of the fact that other countries are losing their vitality in the crusade against Qin, and raise troops to attack other countries.
Wouldn't that not only be able to gain the interests of other countries in Qin, but also weaken or even annex other countries and increase their own power? Don't the kings of the nations have such worries? ”
After hearing Gan Long's words, the three people who were originally worried slowly calmed down in their hearts. After all, it is an indisputable fact that the kings of various countries attack each other, and even the alliance of the Three Jin Dynasty, which is known as a strip of water, is now falling apart.
At this time, Du Zhi on the side said: "Teacher, even if the division of troops among the five countries is fake. However, the king issued an official document through the government and wantonly dispatched soldiers from all over the country to resist the attacking enemy, but it is true, and now it has made the people of Liyang City panic.
If it is not stopped, and the official document is distributed to various places, I am afraid that the entire Qin State will know about the Five Kingdoms' invasion of Qin. Teacher, as the prince of the Qin State, but you have to take care of it, the king is really too wanton."
"Du Zhi, bold. Under the nest, how many eggs are gone? ”
Lao Ganlong shouted angrily, and the three people present were immediately silent, and then they heard Lao Ganlong say: "The old man not only does not object, but is ready to write a book to praise what the king has done."
"Teacher, why is that?"
"Yes, Master Taishi."
Looking at the three people who hurriedly dissuaded them, Gan Long smiled and said, "Now that the Qin State is so critical, the Qin people should have the determination to die for the country." And I am also going to suggest that the orphans of the soldiers who died in battle should be used as the commanders of these conscripted militias.
After all, this will not comfort those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, but also inspire the Qin people to dare to fight, so that our Qin country will unite as one and go to the national disaster together."
When the three people present heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. If this is the case, then the ministers of the clan will be able to take advantage of the situation to control the military power of the place, after all, most of the orphans who can be activated are people of the clan.
So, the three people present instantly threw themselves to the ground with the five bodies that the old Ganlong admired in front of them. After all, in this case, the old lady can still turn things around, not only win fame, but also be practical, unlike them who can only be secretly anxious, so they say in unison: "High, high, high."
