"Big brother and fifth brother, you have already been to Longchuan and talked to the people there, which can't help but make me have a few suspicions. Since the official army of the scattered state retreated from Longchuan because of Rong Di's invasion, how could there still be people living in Longchuan? Yingzhao said after thinking about it.

"Yes, third brother, you are right, we thought so at the time. But when we talked to the local people, we realized that the situation was still very complicated. Then Ying Qi told Ying Zhao and others about the conversation with He Chenggui that day.

After hearing this, Yingzhao and the others said: "Big brother, although the local people hope that our Qin people will send troops to protect them, according to what you said, they are still willing to take the initiative to pay taxes to us, but did the eldest brother not think that once we send troops to Longchuan, it will actually be equivalent to occupying the land of the scattered country." Will this cause us to have a war with the scattered country, this matter should be carefully considered! ”

Actually, that's the crux of the matter.

Along the way, Yingqi Yingkang has also been thinking about this problem.

Because everyone knows that although those in power have repeatedly stressed the need to respect the opinions and suggestions of the common people, they have also said that they should "love the people as children" and also mentioned the saying that "the people are noble and the king is light." But in real life, who will take the common people seriously?

In the end, it is not up to those in power to have the final say.

Just like now, although the people of Longchuan hope that the Qin army will protect them, when the Qin army is really stationed, what will the rulers of the scattered country think?

They would not have thought that the Qin people had sent troops to protect the local people, and they would definitely treat the Qin army as invaders.

At least they were driven out of the house, and at worst, they played the Son of Heaven, and then united several countries to beat the Qin people together.

So when the brothers Yingqi and Yingkang proposed to send troops to Longchuan, Yingzhao and others certainly had to be careful.

Otherwise, I don't know why I was beaten?

When his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he realized that his enthusiasm at the beginning had not been exchanged for the understanding and support of Sanguo, and it was too late to cry.

"The third brother is right, we are on the way back to Inuqiu, and the eldest brother has been thinking about this problem. Not only will we have to send troops to Longchuan, but we will also have to take every step to ensure that we can steadily advance eastward without being harmed. Ying Kang said.

After listening to Yingkang's words, Dr. Xitui Yingqi said: "Actually, what everyone can think of, I have already thought of it, as for whether to send troops to Longchuan, I don't think everyone needs to discuss it anymore." For hundreds of years, the Qin people have always had the idea of going eastward, and now they finally have such a good opportunity, if we don't seize it, it will be really difficult to find such an opportunity in the future. ”

When the people heard this, they said no more. Everyone also knows that although there are many difficulties and dangers in going east, if they don't go east, the Qin people really won't have a chance.

Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Yingqi continued: "Everyone, we are here today to discuss together, just to ask everyone to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. Yingqi continued: "One is in what name we want to send troops to Longchuan; The other is who will lead the troops to garrison Longchuan. In the end, the goal of sending troops to Longchuan and occupying Longchuan was achieved. ”

Yingqi's statement is actually the idea and steps of the Qin people to send troops to Longchuan, that is, to send troops first, and then occupy, step by step to occupy Longchuan, which originally belonged to the scattered country, and become the stronghold of the Qin people to advance eastward.

Eastward expansion has become inevitable, and the next step to discuss is how to move eastward.

"Big brother, I've been thinking about what kind of reason to send troops to Longchuan all the way, and now I have an idea." Ying Kang said.

"Oh---, you've already thought about it, so let's hear it."

"It's not that hard to come up with a reason to send troops eastward." Ying Kang said confidently: "As long as we find a suitable time, in the name of pursuing Fengrong, we will lead the army to pursue the enemy all the way to Longchuan and even under the capital of Sanguo; Then he informed the monarchs and ministers of the scattered kingdom that we had pursued the enemy all the way to here, and it was difficult to rush back to Inuqiu for a while, and asked to be stationed in Longchuan for a while. I think this request, the monarch of the scattered country should agree. After all, Longchuan at this time is a borderless land, if we can garrison it, and we can also help the scattered countries to resist the Rongdi from the north, why don't they do it? Ying Kang said.

After listening to Ying Kang's suggestion, Ying Bushou thought for a while and said: "It's good to be so good, but the world is afraid of a contingency, in case the country does not agree to us to garrison the army, our calculation will not be in vain." ”

"This is not impossible, it depends on the level of words of our envoys to disperse the country. Second brother, rest assured, when our army arrives in Sanguo, my brother and I can serve as envoys and send envoys to Sanguo, and I promise to be able to persuade the monarchs and ministers of Sanguo to agree to our conditions. Yingkang said confidently.

"That's fine. When that day comes, there will be a time for you to show your talents. "But those are all afterthoughts, and we should think about how to pursue Feng Rong in the current situation!" No matter how well we plan, if Fengrong does not send troops to Longchuan, everything is for nothing. ”

That's it! Originally, all of Ying Kang's plans were to be realized by pursuing Rong Di, but if there was no enemy attacking Longchuan or Sanguo, all your plans would be in vain.

After thinking about it, Ying Kang smiled strangely: "If you want to find Rong Di's army, why is it difficult?" ”

"Oh? So you are sure that you can find Rong Di's army, and you will be able to guarantee that they will flee in the direction of the scattered country? ”

"There is ---"

"Tell me about it."

Ying Kang smiled and said: "Although there is a way, it can't be said at the moment, this will have to wait until the day when we really send troops, and we can't leak the secret at the moment." ”

Since Yingkang is so mysterious, it is better not to know about such a strict matter in advance. So he said to Yingkang: "Fifth brother, since you have thought about everything, in this way, then we will be considered famous for sending troops." Next, let's talk about the selection of people to lead troops to attack Longchuan. ”

Ying Kang nodded.

Then Yingqi turned to everyone and said, "Let's talk about it now, who will lead our army east into Guanzhong?" How many soldiers and horses should I bring? ”

When Ying Qi raised this question, everyone's eyes were focused on Ying Kang. After all, among all of them, only Yingkang is the person who is most familiar with the situation in Longchuan, and only Yingkang has really been to Longchuan. Is there a suitable candidate besides him?

So Ying Bushou said: "Big brother, ladies and gentlemen, I think that this dispatch to Longchuan is an important step for the Qin people to advance eastward, and people who are not resourceful and improvisable cannot do it. Among us, only the fifth brother Yingkang has been to Longchuan, and he is the only one who can adapt to emergencies. I suggested that the fifth brother Yingkang lead the troops eastward and enter Longchuan. ”

"I also agree with the fifth brother Yingkang to lead the troops to attack Longchuan, as for the soldiers and horses? I think it should lead at least a thousand or more. Yingzhao followed.

Ying Qi nodded, looked at Ying Kang and said, "Judging from the strength of the Qin people at the moment, I can only give you so many soldiers and horses." After all, Inuqiu is located in a situation where enemies are flanked, and it also needs soldiers and horses to protect its own safety. Brother, you won't be too little, will you? ”

Ying Kang knew that with the strength of the current Qin people, it was already very good to be able to give him a thousand soldiers and horses, so he said: "A thousand soldiers and horses are enough." ”

"Okay, that's it." Ying Qi patted Ying Kang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, the road ahead is very long and difficult, it's up to you." ”
