Chapter 226: Digging a Pit
In all fairness, King Qin admired Meng Tian very much.
At the beginning, rumors spread in the Qin State, and Qin Wangzheng did not doubt his origin, nor did he suspect Lu Buwei.
It's just that Qin Wangzheng is very smart and knows that if he wants to sit on the throne, then he must make the previous rumors rumors rumors and execute all those who spread rumors, only in this way can he maintain the pure bloodline of Qin Wangzheng.
In that coup d'état, many of the clans of the Qin State died, and if it weren't for the strong support of Lü Buwei and Meng Fu, the position of King of Qin would have changed hands long ago.
In both public and private, Qin Wangzheng did not want the complete fall of Montessori.
It's just that the king of Qin is still young now, although he will also be in power, but he has no right to make decisions, and the courtiers let the king of Qin speak, more just to show off and show respect for this king of Qin.
In the end, those who can make decisions will also rely on Qin Prime Minister Lu Buwei and the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Qin Wangzheng knew that Lü Buwei would never look at Meng Tian being attacked, so he set his eyes on the other party.
Seeing this, the Qin Guoshi doctor also set his eyes on Lu Buwei, and there was a faint look of provocation on his face.
Although Lü Buwei is powerful, it is difficult to cover the sky with one hand after all.
After all, this is the Qin State, if Lü Buwei's actions can make the Qin State strong, even if the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, some people can still endure it and let Lü Buwei take power.
It is a pity that during Lü Buwei's tenure as Qin minister, the Qin army was defeated several times, and the soldiers were seriously damaged, which has damaged the interests of the Qin state.
Under this power struggle, Lü Buwei fell into disadvantage.
If Fan Yuzhi and others were able to block the coalition forces and even achieve partial victories on the battlefield, then the fall of Lü Buwei could be announced.
Even, Lü Buwei's rights to the state today have been slightly weakened compared to before.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lu Buwei was calm and relaxed, and chuckled: "Even if Meng Tian's words are a little inappropriate, they are just admonishing the king, since the Shang monarch changed the law, which decree in my Qin State stipulates that he can be convicted for the advice of his courtiers!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all silent.
Shang Jun was a crucial figure in the Qin State's transformation from weak to strong, and even if Shang Ying did not escape the fate of being torn apart by the car in the end, the Qin people were still grateful to Shang Ying.
If Qin didn't have Shang Ying, there would be no strong Qin today.
Feeling the changes brought by Shang Ying's reform to the Qin State, from the monarch to the bureaucrats to the common people, they all felt respect for Shang Ying from the bottom of their hearts.
Qin Law was also promoted from generation to generation in this environment, and finally took root in the hearts of the people.
In the Qin State, no one dared to blatantly violate the laws of Qin.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Lü Buwei said again: "Naturally, I don't know much about military affairs, but Meng Tian has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and in the past, he relied on more than 1,000 people to conquer the Turkish army fortress, and his military talent is beyond doubt. ”
"Since Meng Tian suggested this, I think there is an inevitable reason."
When everyone heard this, someone immediately sneered: "Meng Tian's eldest father Meng Wei has been defeated repeatedly, destroying more than 200,000 good sons and daughters of my Qin State, Meng Tian, a yellow-mouthed child, Xiangguo actually dares to say that this person knows about military affairs!" ”
"If Meng Tian is familiar with military affairs, he will not know how much the transfer of troops from Hangu Pass to help him at this time will be a big blow to the morale of the front line."
"If Meng Tian is familiar with military affairs, he will not know how much loss he has to the Qin State from Qiyuan to Xianyang, and how much damage he will do to the soldiers who have fiefdoms here!"
"In my opinion, even if Meng Tian can't defeat the 30,000 cavalry of the Zhao State, he can still defend the city and prevent the paint wall from falling."
"Dare to ask Xiangguo, if you are the commander of the Zhao army, when there are tens of thousands of enemy troops in Qiyuan in the rear, will you risk bypassing Qiyuan and come to Xianyang?"
Facing this Qin general's questioning, Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lü Buwei is not completely ignorant of military affairs, and even knows military books well and has a good ability to lead soldiers.
According to common sense, Commander Zhao would definitely not do that kind of thing.
Just because it is too risky to do so, if you take a detour to Qiyuan to attack Xianyang, not to mention that the probability of capturing Xianyang is very small, the back road will be completely cut off.
At that time, 30,000 cavalry of the Zhao State were trapped in the hinterland of the Qin State, and it was obvious that they would become a turtle in the urn, and if they did not capture Xianyang, they could only be annihilated.
Unless the commander of the Zhao State has a problem with his brain, he will definitely not be able to do such a thing as making a detour to Qiyuan and leaving tens of thousands of Qin troops to cut off his own back road.
Looking at the aggressive general opposite, the corners of Lu Buwei's mouth outlined an invisible shallow arc.
According to common sense, Commander Zhao would not do that, and he would not dare to do that.
It's a pity that the commander of the cavalry of Zhao State this time is Zhao Jia, the king of Pingqi, since he was deflated by Zhao Jia for the first time, Lü Buwei began to understand and figure out Zhao Jia's character and way of doing things, and gradually listed this person as a great enemy in his life.
What others dare not do and can't do, Zhao Jia may not be able to do it, and it may not be impossible to succeed.
Looking at Zhao Jia's life and deeds, which thing is not earth-shattering and unbelievable?
It is always the enemy who knows you best.
There is no doubt that Lü Buwei has regarded Zhao Jia as his primary enemy, and his understanding of Zhao Jia is unparalleled.
He firmly believed that if Zhao Jia was blocked by Qiyuan, he would definitely not give up, and it was very likely that he would take the risk of going south.
"I was worried about how to get back into the game, but I didn't expect Zhao Jia to appear by chance, it seems that he wants to help me eliminate my political enemies."
Restraining the curvature outlined at the corners of his mouth, Lü Buwei asked the officer to question his general: "The Zhao army will not bypass the Qiyuan and go straight to Xianyang, it's just your guess." ”
"You have ever thought that at this time, Guanzhong is empty, Xianyang has no city wall to defend, if Zhao Jun really bypassed the lacquer wall and went straight to Xianyang, wouldn't he put Xianyang in danger?"
Unexpectedly, when the general heard this, he laughed and said: "Although Xianyang does not have a city wall, there are palaces with high walls, and there are countless old Qin people living here. ”
"Don't say that the commander of the Zhao army can't be so reckless, even if he is really bold and reckless, besieging Xianyang at any cost, as long as the king raises his arms and shouts, hundreds of thousands of people will become battleable soldiers, how can a mere 30,000 Zhao troops be enough!"
"Therefore, in my opinion, 30,000 Zhao troops are not enough, there is no need to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Hangu Pass to shake the morale of the army, and there is no need to fortify the wall and clear the wilderness without fighting!"
Lü Buwei's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a sentence lingering in his heart: "Even if the Zhao army fails to conquer Xianyang, just the soldiers are coming to the city, which will also shake the entire Qin State, and it will affect the morale of the Qin army fighting with the coalition forces on the front line, and it will be more harmful to the Qin State at that time." ”
It's just that Lu Buwei didn't say this, but pretended to be angry and asked: "Xianyang's safety, how can you hope for luck and the people, you can afford the consequences of Zhao Jun's attack on Xianyang!" ”
When the general heard this, he laughed and said: "If Zhao Jun dares to bypass the lacquer wall and go straight to Xianyang, the last general is willing to apologize with death!" ”
"The fish is hooked, but unfortunately it is not enough!"
Lu Buwei secretly sneered in his heart, and still said forcefully on the surface: "How can you alone be compared with the safety of the entire Xianyang!" ”
"What about me?"
"And me!"
"And me!"
As soon as Lü Buwei's words fell, three more local generals of the Qin State stood up and strongly supported the person who had just spoken.
"A few more popped up, but unfortunately it wasn't enough!"
An undetectable cold light flashed in Lu Buwei's eyes.
Now that the opportunity has come, even if he does something that endangers the interests of the Qin State, Lü Buwei will severely suppress his political enemies and regain his rights.
Right now, the pit is big enough to bury more people!
"With just a few of you, you still can't afford this responsibility, and this minister thinks that it is best for the king to adopt Meng Tian's suggestion!"
Lü Buwei looked at the generals, his face full of disdain.
"What if you add the old man!"
Lu Buwei followed the sound and saw the person who had stood in the court for many years without falling, and a smile finally bloomed on his face.
Big fish, finally hooked!
