The Son of Heaven is very difficult, and things are very difficult to do.

The ministers in the palace of the Zhou royal family have time to wait, anyway, they can't settle it today, and there will be tomorrow; Tomorrow is not fixed, and there is next year; I can't set it next year, and I have the next life.

Anyway, our job is to face up and down, eat and sleep, talk about things when we encounter them, and exercise when we have nothing to do.

But the Qin people had no way to wait. Because if you wait for one day, the danger of the Qin people will increase, and if you wait for a month, the Qin people may be destroyed, and if you wait for a year, there may be no Qin people.

In the face of the embarrassment of the Son of Heaven and Yin Jifu's non-expression, the ministers stopped talking.

I won't say much if the Son of Heaven is embarrassed, and no one wants to make trouble for himself.

At this time, Yingkai took a step forward and spoke: "Your Majesty, the villain is Yingkai, the youngest grandson of Qin Zhong, the doctor of Inuqiu. I have a few words I would like to say here. ”

Haha, finally someone spoke, suffocating me.

When the ministers saw someone talking, they immediately pricked up their ears as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Oh---, you have something to say." Finally someone is willing to relieve himself, Zhou Tianzi looked at this unremarkable young man with a little surprise and said.

"Xiaomin thinks that although it is very difficult to send troops to Rong Di at this time, the royal family should still send troops to rescue the Qin people."

At this time, Yingkai was not an official of the royal family, of course, he was not a slave, but an ordinary person, of course, he had to call himself a "small people".

Yes? At a young age, the tone is not small! dared to make a direct request to the royal family.

"Tell me your reasoning." Zhou Tianzi didn't speak, Yin Jifu said directly.

"There are three reasons, one is that the Qin people of Inuqiu are vassals of the royal family, since the time of my ancestor Qin Feizi, the Qin people began to raise horses for the Son of Heaven in the west, and they were deeply trusted by several Sons of Heaven, not to mention that today's royal war horses are mostly raised by the Qin people. Once the dog hill is occupied by Rong Di, not to mention the loss of the Qin people, the most important thing is that the royal family will be unscrupulous from now on! ”

Speaking is very important, and when you speak, you must get to the point, especially to the point of the listener.

As soon as Yingkai said this, it immediately attracted the attention of Zhou Tianzi and the ministers, because the destruction of the Qin people also affected the interests of the royal family, and affected the interests of the royal ministers.

Since the Son of Heaven did not have a horse to ride a bull, the ministers could only ride sheep or pigs.

Of course, this is only a hypothesis, but it is very likely to come true.

"Hmm---" Zhou Tianzi and the ministers nodded slightly.

You must know that in the era of cold weapons in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the war horse is not just a mount, it is also an important symbol of a country's military strength, and it is also a very important war equipment.

The reason why Ying Kai said this actually has the flavor of blackmailing the royal family.

"Second, after hundreds of years, the Qin people have long integrated themselves into the subjects of the royal family. Paying tribute to the Son of Heaven, protected by the Son of Heaven, has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Qin people. Once the royal family sits back and watches the Qin people perish because of the difficulty of marching in winter, it will not only chill the hearts of the Qin people, but also the hearts of other people who are willing to integrate into the royal family, which will seriously affect the noble image of the royal family's forgiveness and benevolence. ”

is another very satisfying sentence, which suddenly reached Zhou Tianzi's heart.

For a long time, the Zhou royal family has followed the idea of loyalty and benevolence formulated by Zhou Gong Ji Dan, and regarded itself as benevolent. Yingkai's words suddenly touched the heart of the Son of Heaven, who prides itself on benevolence, and also made the Son of Heaven a little unhappy, "Yu Yiren understands, you continue." ”

Ying Kai continued: "The third point is the most important, that is, once the Qin people are destroyed, the western defense line of the Zhou royal family will disappear from now on. Both the western and northern sides of Guanzhong will be threatened by Rong Di. At that time, the royal family will be attacked by Fengrong and Borong in the north, and will also be threatened by the Rongdi tribes such as Mianzhu and Dangshe in the west. Once the flames of war broke out, Rong Di broke through Qinling and Longshan, attacking from both sides, which was very unfavorable to the royal family. ”

After the praise, it's time to talk about the stakes.

"This?" When Tianzi Ji heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, knowing that this was the most dangerous threat, and immediately turned to look at Yin Jifu beside him.

While the Son of Heaven was surprised, the ministers present couldn't help but be secretly surprised, "Don't look at this child's age, he doesn't look good, what he said is really satisfying, now Rong Di is rampant, once the two sides are attacked, the royal family is in danger." ”

"That's it! Don't look at these Qin people, but they are the indispensable western barrier of the royal family, once lost, it will be very unfavorable to the royal family and Hojing! A minister whispered.

"It's not good for the royal family, and it's actually bad for us!" Another minister said.

Man does not perish for his own sake.

At present, these ministers of the royal family will not care about the life or death of the Qin people at all, they are only most concerned about their own safety, and when their safety is threatened, they will definitely come to the aid of the Qin people.

Listening to the ministers' whispered words, Ying Kai knew that his words had already had an effect.

Yin Jifu raised his head and looked at Yingkai coldly.

"What you said is not unreasonable, but have you ever thought that if the royal family sends troops to rescue Qin at this time, it will definitely lose its troops and generals, and it may not be able to achieve victory?" Yin Jifu asked.

Ying Kai knew that the key person had finally made a move, and in the face of Yin Jifu's cold gaze, Ying Kai said: "If the adults really have the intention of sending troops, the small people have a note, which can completely reduce the losses of the royal army." ”

Able to reduce losses?

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted Yin Jifu's attention, "Tell me what you mean." ”

"The royal family can send troops from the western section of the Qinling Mountains, and they can't avoid Fengrong's army, and the possibility of victory will be greater." Ying Kai said.

"Why?"

"Longshan is located in the north, and it must have been covered with ice and snow at this time, but on the other hand, the western section of the Qinling Mountains in the south is almost the same as the climate in Guanzhong. Besides, Feng Rong is mostly cavalry and is not good at attacking cities, if the royal family can send tens of thousands of troops, it will not be a problem to hold the dog hill at all. As long as the dog mound is in the hands of the Qin people, the royal family's western defense line can be stabilized! ”

For a long time, there are two ways to go from Guanzhong to Inuqiu, one is to go from Longshan to Guanzhong, and the other is to cross the Qinling Mountains in the west from Guanzhong to Inuqiu directly, but this is not easy to march because of the high and steep mountain, so the Qin people did not choose this road.

The Qinling Mountains are towering, the roads are rugged, and in ancient times when transportation was not developed, the degree of difficulty can be imagined.

But in order to rescue the Qin people in Xitui, Yingkai can only do this at the moment.

After listening to Yingkai's words, Yin Jifu was silent, he knew very well that Yingkai was right, if he sent troops from Qinling, he could completely avoid Fengrong's cavalry, which was a good way. Besides, the Qin people stayed west of Guanzhong, which was a wedge inserted into Xirong by the Zhou royal family, as long as this wedge was in Xirong, it would play an immeasurable role in stabilizing the Guanzhong royal family. Therefore, the Qin people of Inuqiu must not be lost, at least not at this time.
