Qin Xiangfu, in an elegant room.

"Sir's three strategies are all wonderful, and the old man admires them." Qin Xiang Lu Buwei toasted the genius strategist Wei Yu.

"Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a time; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. "As a master of the art of war, Wei Yi naturally knows that no strategy can escape the situation, so he kindly reminded Lu Buwei." Retiring early is the way to save your life. ”

"Sir, sit down, the old man has already arranged a way out." Qin Xiang Lu Buwei looked confident and said confidently.

But what kind of character Wei Yu is, he can see Lü Buwei's ambition at a glance, and he can't help sighing: "It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to go down." Where blessings and misfortunes lurk, and where misfortunes and blessings depend. ”

Lü Buwei, who had gained temporary stability, wanted to gain military power even more, so he hurriedly recruited Li Xin, Zhang Han, Huan Qi, Yang Duanhe, Fan Yuzhi and other generals;

It's just that because most of these generals are descendants of the meritorious warrior family, they often don't take Lü Buwei, a foreign minister, seriously.

Lü Buwei only has a few children of the Lü family in the army, such as Lü Ying, Lü Xiong and others, and his position is no more than a thousand-commander.

"The three generations of the Meng family are glorious, and the young general is a young hero, and the old man is extremely envious!" Lu Buwei looks like an elder, and it is easy for people to feel cordial.

"Thank you Xiangguo for your praise, the kid is ashamed. What does Xiangguo command, just show it. "Meng Yi didn't dare to take it seriously, after all, Lu Buwei was good at dancing with long sleeves and hiding a knife in his smile, and he was very famous in history.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the children of the Lu family have been too lazy recently, and I hope you two brothers will come and move around often." Lu Buwei found that Meng Yi was still as humble as ever, and said very happily.

"Everything is as Xiangguo wishes." Meng Yi understood that he couldn't go toe-to-toe with Lu Buwei at this moment, so he had to lower his posture.

In the secret room of the Mongolian Mansion, a secret meeting is being held.

"Since the death of General Wang Ji, Lü Buwei has been moving more and more. The king was too young to handle government affairs. It's a pity that the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji trusts Lu Buwei too much and obeys his arrangements for everything. Now Lü Buwei is pretending to be in the name of the king and the queen mother, and he is trying his best to suppress the strength of the Ying family. The old general looked hateful.

"I never thought that there were many contradictions within the Ying family, some people were optimistic about Ying Zheng, some people were optimistic about Cheng Jiao, and there were even those who supported other bloodlines. No wonder he has been robbed of the limelight by his relatives surnamed Mi, and it is difficult to do things if people are not in harmony! Meng Yi echoed.

"The Qin people are aggressive, and everyone wants to take the lead! To put it bluntly, there are too many people vying for power. The old general sighed helplessly.

In fact, the Meng family, one of the three giants of the military, never chose to unite with Lü Buwei, but just waited for the time to come.

Although the Wang family, one of the three giants of the military, has lost the banner of Wang Di, it also disdains to be close to Lü Buwei.

One of the three giants of the military, Gong Yingwei, is very old, and he is afraid that his life will not be long. The clan surnamed Ying is looking forward to the head of Gong Ying, but unfortunately the people's hearts are fluctuating, and there are many relatives with the surname Mi who collude to try to support Chang'an Jun Chengjiao to ascend to the throne.

Such a result gave Qin Xiang Lu Buwei a headache. But what kind of character is Lu Buwei, he doesn't do anything, and simply makes a move to "pick up the grass and beat the rabbit" - to deal with Chang'an Jun Chengjiao.

Cheng Jiao is the son of the first king, the younger brother of Ying Zheng, who was once conspired by his relatives surnamed Mi to be the crown prince, and at the same time, there are many clans surnamed Ying who support him to replace Ying Zheng!

After Cheng Cheng succeeded to the throne of King Qin in Yingzheng, he was named Chang'an Jun.

Two years ago, King Yingzheng of Qin had just succeeded to the throne, and Zheng Guo was ordered by King Huan Hui to go west to Qin and persuade King Qin to build water conservancy projects. Halfway through the project, the Qin State discovered the conspiracy. King Yingzheng of Qin was furious and arrested Zheng Guo to be killed. Zheng Guo defended: "I only came here to prolong the life of Korea for a few years, but if the canal is successfully built, the Qin State will enjoy eternal blessings." King Yingzheng of Qin thought it was reasonable, and immediately thought that this conspiracy was really wonderful, so he ordered Zheng Guo to go back and continue the construction.

Zheng Guo asked the workers to fill in the low-lying land with the dug taxis, and cover all the alkaline land with new soil, and the saline-alkali land that had no grass became fertile and fertile land, amounting to more than 4 million mu, and each mu could produce six and four liters of grain. The excavation of the Zhengguo Canal is of great significance to the Loess Plateau, which makes the 800-mile Qinchuan River a huge granary. It has benefited the people for more than 1,000 years, and it was not destroyed in the war until the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Because of the completion of the Zheng State Canal, the Qin State became richer and stronger, laying a solid foundation for the annexation of the princes and the realization of unification, such a significant benefit made the Qin State feel that the conspiracy of Han Ran, the king of Han, to send experts to lure the Qin State to repair the canal was too cute!

King Qin's study in Xianyang Palace, King Qin is in a surprisingly good mood today!

"Haha...... Meng Yi, the widow can already predict how ugly the faces of Koreans will be when Zheng Guoqu is completed? Besides, the outgarch did not intend to stop the war against the Six Nations. The strength of the Qin State is far beyond the imagination of the Six Kingdoms. Even if a lot of manpower and material resources are spent on one side to build the Zhengguo Canal, the other side can continue to attack the Sanjin without any difficulty. The more Qin Wang Yingzheng thought about it, the happier he became, and he almost danced with his hands.

"The king's foresight is really a blessing for Great Qin." Meng Yi naturally echoed and praised King Qin for his wisdom and martial arts.

"The widow is so fond of the ridiculous and cute conspiracy of Korea. Such a wonderful thing can actually happen to South Korea, it can be seen that South Korea is about to die, and it is not unjust! ”

"South Korea is shooting itself in the foot, this is irrefutable!" Meng Yi saw that King Yingzheng of Qin was a little unfinished, and inquired curiously, "But the king is ready to let South Korea go like this?" ”

"How is that possible? The widow just took the opportunity to blackmail South Korea, how could he let him go so easily! In addition, Lü Buwei recommended sending Chang'an Jun Chengjiao to Korea to force Han Ran, the king of Han, to cede 100 miles of land to Qin. Qin Wang Yingzheng said with a slight smile.

"I'm afraid Lu Xiangguo has a deep meaning! Beware, King! Meng Yi kindly reminded.

"Hmph, his tricks can be hidden from others, but not from widows. Lü Buwei offended his relatives surnamed Mi and hurt Cheng Jiao. How could he be kind enough to let him make a contribution? is nothing more than trying to provoke Cheng Jiao to plot a rebellion, and take the opportunity to attack the relatives surnamed Mi and the clan surnamed Ying who support Cheng Jiao, so as to make a profit from it! "Qin Wang Yingzheng is sober-minded and clear-minded at the moment, which is completely in line with the image of a mature politician.

"The king might as well use his strength to completely cut off the forces behind Cheng Jiao!" Meng Yi made a suggestion.

"Of course, and the widow wants to let Lü Buwei steal chickens and rice, and want to fight the idea of military power. He's wishful thinking! King Yingzheng of Qin sneered, completely ignoring Lu Buwei's intrigues and tricks.

Who knows, Chang'an Jun Chengjiao excused himself and couldn't resign. This made Lu Buwei anxious, and immediately found Meng Yi and told him to persuade him.

Xianyang, Chang'an Jun's mansion. Chang'anjun's mansion resembles the style of the Chu Kingdom, covering a vast area, and is extremely luxurious, just like the mansions of other relatives surnamed Mi. It seems that the first Wang Yingyi didn't like this son, largely because of the influence of his relatives surnamed Mi.

Meng Yi asked to see him many times in a row before he was received by Chang'an Jun Chengjiao. It can be seen that this royal son is too arrogant, and he doesn't know that he has come to a catastrophe.

"Your Majesty, how can you refuse to send an envoy to South Korea?" Meng Yi asked straight to the point.

"The Qin State attacked Korea several times and formed a mortal enemy. In addition, Duke Qi just slaughtered the city and rolled up the city, and Benjun went to South Korea, wasn't he sent to death? Chang'an Juncheng Jiao was pampered and said arrogantly.

"The king looks up to Han Ran, the king of Han, and South Korea is afraid that the Qin State will continue to attack at this moment, where does he have the courage to murder the king." Meng Yi had no choice but to persuade patiently first.

"But Benjun has not recovered from his serious illness, and it is difficult to set off!" Chang'an Junchengjiao's lips were red and his teeth were white, and he shirked with a red face, and he didn't bother to do it even if he pretended to be sick.

"Have you heard the story of Touching the Dragon and persuading Zhao Wei?" Meng Yi's face fluctuated, then calmed down and asked slowly.

"Are you saying that if Benjun wants to gain a foothold in the Qin State for a long time, he must establish meritorious deeds?" Although Chang'an Jun Chengjiao is arrogant, after all, after the education of the orthodox royal family, he has read a lot of historical records and works, and naturally knows the allusion of "Touching the Dragon to persuade Zhao Weihou".

"Yes, the king is high and useless, and there are many people who are jealous! Besides, the current situation of the relatives surnamed Mi is not as good as day by day, what will the king rely on to protect himself in the future? Meng Yi reminded him, and then his eyes were fixed on Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, and a murderous aura invisibly enveloped Chang'an Jun Chengjiao.

"In this way, Benjun had no choice but to go into battle with illness." Chang'an Jun Chengjiao was finally scared, and nodded in agreement after thinking about it.

Chang'an Jun Chengjiao packed up his bags and went to Korea leisurely, trying to force Han Ran, the king of Han, to cede a hundred miles of land to Qin.

At this time, Han Ran, the king of Han, was already like an ant on a hot pot because of Qin's capture of Juancheng, and when he heard that ceding a hundred miles of land could be exchanged for peace between the two countries, he immediately sent someone to send Han Xiang, the Korean princess, and a hundred miles of Korean land.

This move not only made the government and the opposition of Qin boil, but also made the whole country of South Korea boo.

Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, is the residence of Zhang Ping, the prime minister of South Korea.

Han Prime Minister Zhang Ping and his father Zhang Kaidi successively served as the five prime ministers of South Korea, so the Zhang family is known as the fifth prime minister.

At this time, a fierce quarrel came from the study.

"Father, Han Chuang, Marquis of Pingshan, actually instigated King Han to agree to Qin's blackmail, this person really deserves to be killed!" Zhang Liang, a fifteen-year-old boy, was very angry.

"Don't be so loud, be careful that the wall has ears!" Han Xiang Zhang Ping hurriedly covered his son Zhang Liang's mouth.

"Father, our Zhang family has been in the country for five generations, and we have received the grace of heaven, how can we watch the country fall?" The young Zhang Liang is young and vigorous, and the newborn calf is naturally not afraid of tigers.

"My child, King Han trusts Pingshan Marquis Han Chuang the most, plus General Han Teng returned from defeat, who can persuade King Han?" Han Xiang Zhang Ping sighed helplessly.

"Father, Zhang Zhong fled back. How should he be placed? The young man Zhang Liang suddenly thought of another thing, and asked very distressedly.

"Zhang Zhong? Hey, the old man had to ask General Han Teng for help. Han Xiang Zhang Ping sighed again and said, "Our Zhang family looks extremely glorious, but isn't the Fifth Xiangguo a constraint?" Now the military power of South Korea is in the hands of Han Chuang, Marquis of Pingshan, and General Han Teng, and even King Han has to look at the faces of the two. ”

Who would have thought that "the wall really has ears", all of this was recorded by the black-clothed guards lurking in the mansion.
