Xianyang, Qin Palace.

Xianyang City was built under the auspices of Shang Ying, who was the Great Liang of the Qin State at that time, and the whole royal city adopted the architectural style of high platform base in order to highlight the momentum, and the multi-storey high platform was stacked on top of each other, and the momentum was magnificent. As the tallest building in the entire Guanzhong, you can even see the entire Xianyang Plain from the Xianyang Palace.

Qin Wangsi stood on the covered bridge of the palace, still looking at his favorite east. You don't need a reason to like a place, but there are a million reasons to conquer a place. Just like after the death of his own monarch, even if he knew that getting rid of Shang Ying would make those conservative ministers proud, he would raise the butcher's knife without hesitation, because Shang Ying was the first person he needed to conquer when he ascended to the highest power, and beyond Shang Ying, his target was those conservative officials. After he was at their mercy, he finally set his sights on the east, and he wanted to tell the six eastern countries that the Qin State, the country they despised, would eventually stand at a height that they could not look up to.

The Five-Nation Coalition attacked Hangu Pass, and he couldn't sleep at night, waiting for the latest battle report every day. Zhu Li Ji and Gongzi Hua are his most reassuring generals, and he is very relieved to entrust Hangu Pass to two people. He also let Sima Cuo take the order to go, and successfully contained the army of Chu at the border of Chu, so that only Han Wei was holding on to the border of the Five Kingdoms Alliance, and the strength of Yan and Zhao was not good, so it was only regarded as an addition. He told Qin Wangsi that he needed a chance, one that could kill him with one blow. Qin Wangsi thought about it again and again, and decided not to use the suspect, and agreed to his request, so that he could arrange his troops with peace of mind.

However, the biggest threat to Qin was from the north. There, Zhao took possession of vast areas of land on the north bank of the Great River as pastures and arable land, and its national power increased dramatically, and it relied on Lin Hu to roam near the Great Wall of Qin, which could invade the south at any time. And after crossing the Great Wall and breaking through Shangjun, the Zhao army can reach Xianyang directly! King Zhao found another plan to attack Qin. How can the people of the Qin State, who have always been proud of the solidity of Cuihan, be able to sleep peacefully?

Wei Zhang was captured, and he has not had a good candidate for who will defend the Great Wall defense line. Sima is the most suitable candidate, but he has always been his military commander, and he hopes to discuss many things with this veteran, if he leaves Xianyang, he has some difficulties in military decision-making and does not know who to consult; He recommended Gan Mao, this person has seen it himself, and he likes it very much, although he is also a person who leads soldiers, but he is not qualified enough, I am afraid that he will not be able to convince the public; Others, such as Xiang Shou, Gongsun Zheng and others, are either incapable or unqualified, and are not the best candidates.

Looking at the generals of the DPRK and China, none of them are suitable.

"Wang, Mr. Zhang Yi greets."

"Please come in, sir." Qin Wangsi said, and after a while, he saw Zhang Yi kneeling in front of him.

"Sir, when you come back from Yiqu, have you been safe on the way?"

"Returning to the king, the minister set out from Xianyang to Qingyang, persuaded Yiqu and me to ease the matter, this matter has been completed, fortunately not disgraced, I am here to pay tribute."

Qin Wangsi's face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but help him up, looked at him and said, "This matter depends on Mr. to be so effective, and this is the first great achievement." From now on, the northern border can not be so nervous. ”

"Even so, the minister still has to remind the king." Zhang Yi said: "After all, Yiqu is a Rong clan, and I have been at war with the Qin State for a hundred years, and it is not an overnight achievement to completely resolve this matter. ”

"I don't need to be reminded by Mr. Cun, the widow is also planning this. This is the same thing as the choice of the generals in the north. The problem of appointing generals in the north was solved, and the matter of Yiqu was solved. "Qin Wangsi saw this matter very seriously. Relying on Yiqu is not the final solution after all, not to mention the ambition of this wolf, it is not easy to feed this wolf, only when you become strong can you not be controlled by others. At this point, Qin Wangsi has always been very persistent.

Zhang Yi hesitated for a while, knelt down and replied: "King, Wei Zhang's life and death are still uncertain, and it is said that he was captured and plundered by Zhao State. The minister asked the king to let Wei Zhang live and treat his family well, and the minister promised that Wei Zhang would live up to the king's trust. ”

Qin Wangsi squinted, didn't say anything about helping Zhang Yi, and said leisurely: "The matter of Wei Zhang, the widow has already said it. Wei Zhang's life and death are unknown now, and Zhao Guo did not send an envoy to inquire, so let's assume that he is still alive for the time being. As long as he lives up to the widow, the widow will also treat his people well. If Wei Zhang has any news that is unfavorable to the widow and the Qin State......" Qin Wangsi's eyes suddenly sharpened, "Then don't blame the widow for being ruthless." ”

"Ministers Wei Zhang, thank the king."

"Get up, sir." Qin Wangsi said, "Now there is another matter, and the widow still needs Mr. to help him think about it." ”

"Please make it clear to the king."

"The Great Wall hangs in the county, it is actually the gate of my Qin country, and the safety of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan is tied to the front line. Now Zhao Guobei has invaded the big river, driven away Lou Fu, and controlled Lin Hu, but the deterrence of our border is like a tired egg. ”

"The widow asked Mr. before, after Wei Zhang, who can take on this important responsibility, and Mr. has not replied. I wonder if there is a suitable candidate for Mr. at this time? ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, his eyes were slightly sharp, and then he said lightly: "At this time, it is not a matter that can be decided by the minister, so the minister should not say it." ”

"Sir's words are wrong, the widow just hopes that Mr. will give the widow a suggestion, and finally decides to be in the widow, Mr. can boldly recommend it."

Zhang Yi immediately responded: "The minister recommends General Sima Cuo." ”

Qin Wangsi thought for a while and said: "General Sima is old, and the land of the Great Wall is bitterly cold, not like Xianyang. After all, he is very helpful to the outnumbered, and he is really not the right person. ”

"Gan Mao is young and handsome, knows the military, and is quite talented, so he will definitely be able to take on this role."

"Gan Mao is young and handsome, but he lacks qualifications in the army, so he may not be able to convince the public, and it is not a good thing to be easily entrusted with important tasks." Qin Wangsi continued to deny it.

"Wang Ji is a general in the army, nearly middle-aged, with many qualifications, and also has years of military strategy, training in military defense, and general affairs, so he should be the most suitable candidate." Zhang Yi continued.

Qin Wangsi's heart sank slightly, and then he shook his head and said: "Although Wang Ji is a general, he is short-tempered, and he is brave and brave, but he can't reach his wisdom, I'm afraid he is easy to fall for tricks, and he is not a suitable candidate." ”

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, and finally said: "In this way, this heavy responsibility is not something that Lizi can bear!" ”

Qin Wangsi frowned, and finally understood that this was a plan that Zhang Yi wanted to expel from Xianyang and make himself more handy! He first tested his bottom line with Sima Mistake, and then recommended Gan Mao and Wang Yi to confuse himself, and when he vetoed all the candidates, he launched the final killing move: If you meet your requirements, I'm afraid there is only one person.

Qin Wangsi was indeed very angry, he didn't like Zhang Yi's style, this kind of aggressive momentum made him very uncomfortable, even disgusted. Even so, he didn't seem to have the means to punish Zhang Yi, as he just said, Zhang Yi was just a suggestion, and it was Qin Wangsi himself who made the final decision. If you have said it first, how can you regret it?

But as Zhang Yi said, there really seems to be no suitable candidate except for the disease. Qin Wangsi was a little distressed, Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong, you really gave me a problem.

Zhao Yong grabbed the bronze jue on the several cases in front of him and threw them in front of Lian Wu, and said angrily: "Gu thinks that he has a lot of support for your father and son, and regards it as a treasure, but do you wait for your father and son to repay Gu?" ”

Lian Wu and Lian Po hurriedly knelt there without saying a word. But Lian Po's expression was quite stubborn.

"Lian Po, are you not convinced?" Zhao Yong looked at him in a low voice, revealing a fierce look.

Lian Wu glanced at Lian Po and knew that this kid was high-spirited, and he felt that he had been wronged, so he was quite unconvinced. So he pulled Lian Po's sleeve and wanted him to confess his guilt quickly. "Lian Po, don't mess around, hurry up and admit your mistakes to the king."

Lian Po was silent, still stubborn, and let Lian Wu persuade him, but he didn't listen to a word. Seeing his appearance, Lian Wu hurriedly said to Zhao Yong: "The dog is rude, please atone for your sins." When the last general returns home, he will be strictly controlled. The last general is also willing to resign from all positions and let the king do his bidding. ”

Zhao Yong didn't seem to hear Lian Wu's plea, and walked straight to Lian Po, looking at the future famous general he was most familiar with, with mixed feelings in his heart. Zhao Yong has a lot of support for Lian's father and son, but outsiders can't see it. It is hoped that they can avoid Zhao Guo's party struggle and grow up with peace of mind. When they can really be used by Zhao Yong, they will not be swayed by party disputes. is because of Lian Wu, he has always been promoted step by step, and he has never been biased.

However, Lian Wu took the initiative to lead his troops to prepare to besiege Jinyang without the instructions of the White Tiger Hall and himself, so that Zhao Ran and Zhao Yan, who had just thought that Zhao Yong would not settle accounts after the autumn, had a heart of self-defense again, and almost rebelled. Fortunately, Lian Po and Zhao Shan were present at that time, and Lian Wuyou acted quickly and occupied the city gate, so that this farce ended hastily. Otherwise, what Jinyang City would greet Zhao Yong at this moment would be the rebels who were waiting for it. His side had just driven away the Hu people, and it was when he needed to stabilize the defense line and prevent the Qin State from retaliating, Lian Wu's father and son almost caused him a catastrophe, and it was no wonder that Zhao Yong was so angry.

"Well, you're not very old, but your temper is not small. Lone is standing in front of you now, if you have any grievances or complaints, you can say it all at once. If there is a half-point loss, Lone will apologize to you personally! ”

"Good!" Lian Po heard Zhao Yong speak like this, and his heart suddenly improved a lot, so he didn't care about Lian Wu's dissuasion, and said stiffly: "The last general just doesn't understand, my father and son received the Jinyang police, so they came up with a plan to cooperate with the inside and the outside, and capture the first evil, although Zhao Ran and Zhao Yan The two thieves returned to Shun first, but if it is according to our strategy, Jinyang will be safe." ”

"But the king only saw my father leading troops into the city, which caused a commotion in Jinyang, and he didn't realize that I had done the same before, how could I convince the last general? How can I make you understand your intentions? I'm afraid you're already interested in ......"

"Smack!" A crisp slap sounded, Lian Wu trembled, looked at Lian Po in a daze, Lian Po also looked at Lian Wu, and then looked at Zhao Yong, thinking what happened to him just now, and actually spoke to Zhao Yong in such a tone. Hurriedly leaned down, and didn't speak, only to see two drops of blood dripping on the main hall, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart. I don't know what Zhao Yong will do with himself, how he will deal with his father, and how he will deal with his people. For a while, even my legs began to tremble.

The whole hall was extremely quiet.
