Xiao Chuan looked at Yingji for a long time, as if he was considering the sincerity of his words, and as if he was considering the feasibility of this suggestion, he suddenly asked, "Why do you think I will help you?" ”

Yingji said: "Because the lonely king has always been very accurate in looking at people, whether you really help Yingxuan, how can you hide it from me?" ”

Xiao Chuan smiled, "What King Qin said is right, but I think King Qin seems to have forgotten one thing, what a smart person the Ying clan patriarch is, how could she listen to me as a wandering person?" ”

Yingji smiled and said, "Yingxuan is a smart person, you just need to bring the words, she will definitely figure out the cause and effect here, and for her, cooperating with the Lone King is only beneficial to her, the Lone King believes that she will make a wise choice, as for trust, if you don't sacrifice your life to save Yingxuan, how can she help you save the fool of King Chu Huai?" ”

Xiao Chuan smiled bitterly: "It seems that King Qin is not an idle person." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yingji said, "Then a month later, I will be waiting for the two of you here." ”

After Yingji finished speaking, she got up, and after seeing Xiaochuan nodding, Yingji and the guards beside her left the wine shop in the heavy rain.

…

Qin Palace Empress Dowager Xuan in the palace.

Empress Dowager Xuan was having fun at the moment, and suddenly the maid hurriedly walked in and said, "Empress Dowager Qi, the Prime Minister asks to see you." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan pulled down her face, waved her hand and said, "Xuan"

The maid hurriedly went out to summon Wei Ran, and the Empress Dowager Xuan smiled at the man on the bed and said, "You go down first, and I'll have fun with you later." ”

The young man hurriedly even claimed "No"

Prime Minister Wei Ran passed by the man when he came in, and Wei Ran twitched the corner of his mouth.

Empress Dowager Xuan hadn't seen Wei Ran for a long time, and said with a smile, "Why is the prime minister so free today and coming here late at night?" ”

Wei Ran said, "Empress Dowager Qi, something is wrong, Weichen has been secretly protected, and he does not dare to delay if there is an emergency military situation, so he entered the palace at night, and I hope that the Queen Mother will forgive her sins?" ”

Empress Dowager Xuan leaned forward slightly, stared at Wei Ran and said, "Oh, what made the prime minister like a great enemy, talk to the mourning family?" ”

Wei Ran arched his hand and replied, "No, Weichen obeys." Before entering the palace, the minister of Qi was secretly protected, and Meng Weijun, the prime minister of Qi State, had already said that the king of Qi would be unfavorable in Qin State? ”

Empress Dowager Xuan raised her eyebrows disapprovingly and said, "Oh, Tian Wen, a person who sells fame and fame." ”

Wei Ran said, "What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, but it is precisely this kind of villain, you must not take it lightly, such people are not enough to succeed and more than to lose, if you ignore it, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan sneered charmingly, "Hehe, then I want to see how many heads this Tian Wen has, dare to go against the mourning family?" ”

Wei Ran said, "Weichen has sent a secret envoy to the State of Qi, and the relationship between the King of Qi and Meng Weijun will only be difficult to form for a while, and the State of Qi and the State of Qin are unfavorable, but it is imminent." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan asked Wei Ran: "But this Qi State and Qin State are not connected?" ”

She paused for a moment and said clearly, "Oh, it could be that the Qi Kingdom is going to rely on the power of Han, Wei and other countries. ”

Wei Ran said, "Yes, the State of Qi has now instigated the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan to form a five-nation alliance, and will soon form a coalition to attack Qin." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan smiled contemptuously: "It seems that King Qi is preparing to dominate the world?" ”

Wei Ran also said disdainfully: "Then it depends on whether he has the strength or not." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan said, "Hehe, the King of Qi actually stretched out his hand to the Qin State, oh, yes, who is the opponent of the Qi State besides the Qin State." ”

Wei Ran said, "As far as Wei Chen knows, King Qi doesn't have any great ambitions, but is only instigated by Meng Weijun. ”

Empress Dowager Xuan waved her hand and said, "Isn't that better, just send some assassins to get rid of Tian Wen." ”

Wei Ran said: "He must have prepared for this." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan said, "Oh, since that's the case, let's clean him up later, the prime minister is here tonight, presumably for who to send to meet the enemy in the court tomorrow, isn't it?" ”

Wei Ran said, "No, Weichen thought that this time the Five Nations Alliance attacked Qin, I should send a capable general to resist the enemy." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan said: "Tell me about the pros and cons of these people in our court."

Wei Ran said, "At present, the most capable of resisting the alliance of the five countries above the court is naturally Sima Cuo and Yingjun, this Yingjun is absolutely useless, we transferred him to the Qin-Zhao border, which is to prevent him from becoming big, although it is also beneficial to send him to fight, if he is defeated, we can use this as an excuse to bloodied the Ying clan again, and completely trample the Ying clan under our feet." Wei Ran pursed his lips fiercely and continued, "But Weichen thinks that if he sends Yingjun to fight this time, he has a good chance of winning." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan also closed her eyes and said heavily, "That's true." ”

Wei Ran said, "Except for Yingjun, the most important thing is Sima Cuo, but he has no choice but to report his illness early, even if there is a king's order at this moment, he can't go to the sick, we can't help it."

Empress Dowager Xuan said, "This old puppet is really a stone in the grass, smelly and hard. ”

Wei Ran said, "Sima mistakenly followed King Hui to fight in the south and the north, and did not put the king and the queen mother in his eyes, but the queen mother and the king did not care about him, and appointed him as a guest secretary, but this old guy has become more and more ignorant of restraint over the years, not only does he make a lot of nonsense on weekdays, but also complains about illness for three days, so it is better to let him go home and rest completely." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan said, "I don't want to, but now we have to deal with the Ying Princess, if even the strong generals under Fujun are also dealt with, I am afraid that it will lose the hearts of the people, it is better to give him an idle position, and keep it for the time being." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Wei Ran sighed.

Empress Dowager Xuan asked, "In addition to these two, is there any suitable person for the prime minister, tell the mourning family to listen." ”

Wei Ran hesitated and said, "There are two other people, both of whom are highly appreciated by Weichen, but Weichen also knows these two very well." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan said, "If the two people you said go to war, there is a possibility of losing?" ”

Wei Ran hurriedly got up and said, "Weichen is not talented, his subordinates have no great talent, and he failed to share the worries of the queen mother and the king, and it is Weichen's fault." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan waved her hand and said, "The prime minister has done his best for the mourning family and Ji'er, the mourning family knows, and the prime minister should not feel guilty anymore." ”

Wei Ran continued, "Weichen has been thinking about it for a long time, and he can only recommend these two, after all, the two of them still have some talents. ”

Wei Ran was very determined, and then said, "These two people are Wang Yu and Shu Changhuan"

Empress Dowager Xuan said, "When Shu Changhuan was the commander last time, he defeated the Chu army in Chuisha, I think he has some talents, what about this Wang Di?" ”

Wei Ran said: "Wang Yi is good at tactics. ”

After thinking about it, Empress Dowager Xuan said fiercely, "The Five Nations Alliance, Zhao will hand over all the way to Yingjun, I will order Ji'er to give him an order, if the Zhao people invade an inch of land on my Qin-Zhao border, I will ask him to come to see him." ”

Empress Dowager Xuan cleared her throat, and then said, "As for the remaining four countries, they will be handed over to Shu Changhuan and Wang Di, and Shu Changhuan will be appointed as the commander-in-chief, and Wang Yi will be the former army commander-in-chief. ”

Wei Ran nodded and praised, "The Queen Mother is wise." ”

The news that Empress Dowager Xuan received Wei Ran in the dormitory seemed to have grown wings at this moment, and it quickly reached the ears of King Yingji of Qin.

King Qin sent away the secret agent and sat on the couch, he put one hand on his knee, the other hand held his chin, and said with a sharp smile, "The queen mother and uncle are really good calculations." ”

…

After Ying Xuan came to Xianyang to see Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan told Ying Xuan about the previous meeting between King Yingji of Qin, and Ying Xuan nodded and said, "I know, he is forcing me to join forces with him." ”

Ogawa said, "How about that?" ”

Ying Xuan asked Xiao Chuan, "Is that day?" ”

Ogawa calculated, "The day after tomorrow." ”

Ying Xuan said, "Let's go and meet him." ”

The day of the meeting came, but King Qin did not appear, and Ying Xuan and Xiao Chuan stayed there and waited all day until the store closed, and the two did not leave.

Xiao Chuan said suspiciously, "What's going on?" ”

Ying Xuan said, "I'll let people inquire." ”

Ogawa nodded, "That's it." ”

The news that came back from the inquiry made both of them surprised, it turned out that Qin Wang Yingji had not arrived today, because Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan formed a coalition army to attack Qin, and Wei Ran and others suggested appointing Shu Changhuan as the commander-in-chief, and Wang Yi as the former army commander-in-chief, but their proposal that was originally 100% sure was unusually not agreed by the ministers, because of the entanglement for a long time, whether to send Sima Co as the commander-in-chief or send Shu Changhuan as the commander-in-chief to argue for a long time, and the remaining half a day began to argue about whether to send Wang Yi or Yingjun, and debated for a long time.

After hearing this, Ying Xuan angrily reprimanded, "Mi Bazi and Wei Ran and others, they really deserve to be the little ones, the Qin State is strong to resist the Five Nations Alliance, when it is so dangerous, they do not think of countermeasures, relieve the country's worries, and still live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, do not appoint Ying Jun as the commander-in-chief, nor do they appoint him as the former army commander, do not need to be a veteran Sima Cuo, but nepotism, send that bullshit Shu Changhuan as the commander, ignoring the country, they are still in the mood to frame the Ying clan, and even ordered Ying Jun to lose an inch of land, and meet each other. ”

Ying Xuan said and cried, "Heavens, my ancestors and ancestors of the Ying family, my Qin country has this generation in power, the country is in danger, the Qin country is in danger, is it true that the hundreds of years of my Qin country should be cut off in the hands of these people, if this is the case, what face will Ying Xuan have to face the ancestors and ancestors in the future." ”

Xiao Chuan saw that Yingxuan was so sad, so he had to keep comforting her, "Don't be too sad, Qin Wang Yingji understands the power here, even Empress Dowager Xuan and Wei Ran don't want Qin to be defeated, fortunately, the focus of their argument is mainly on the commander and the former army general, if the patriarch doesn't want the Qin army to be defeated and the Qin people are slaughtered, they can still fight before everything is a foregone conclusion." ”

Ying Xuan wiped her tears and asked suspiciously, "You mean?" ”

Xiao Chuan said, "King Qin seems to want to appoint Sima Cuo as the commander, but Wei Ran and others said that Sima Cuo is old and unusable for a long time, if Sima Cuo takes the initiative to ask Ying, I don't know if there is room for this matter to be returned." ”

Ying Xuan thought about it for a while and said to Xiao Chuan, "While it's getting late, let's go to visit the old general overnight." ”

Xiao Chuan was startled at first, then thought about it, and said with a smile, "The patriarch is really a means to the sky." ”

Ying Xuan said: "I am not completely sure that I can say that the old general can be moved." ”

Ying Xuan and Xiao Chuan came to Sima Cuo's mansion and were soon taken to a study in the inner house, where the world-famous Sima Cuo was sitting in the study at the moment.

Ying Xuan saw Sima Cuo and bowed first, the old general quickly got up, stared at Ying Xuan for a long time before saying, "If it is really the patriarch of the carriage, the old man has not seen the patriarch of the Ying clan for many years, and when he heard that the patriarch is coming, Sima Cuo really didn't dare to believe it." ”

Ying Xuan said, "Xuan has no great talent, the clansmen were slaughtered, since taking over five years, he has barely led the clansmen to live a difficult life, he should have come to visit the old general early, but now the Ying clan is in danger, Xuan does not dare to cause trouble for the old general, so he is far away, and please don't blame the old general." ”

Sima Cuo nodded heavily and said, "The old man knows that the patriarch is difficult, and the Ying clan is difficult, but I don't know that the patriarch is here late at night, but what's the big deal?" ”

Ying Xuan nodded and said, "Old general, Xuan is indeed the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, now the Five Nations Alliance has begun to assemble, and the people who can fight against the army of the Five Kingdoms in my Qin State are not generals and do not choose the second choice, but in the court today, Wei Ran and others have appointed their Chu clan relatives and relatives as the commander of our Qin army. ”

Saying that, under Ying Xuan, Sima Coo knelt down, and Sima Coo hurriedly went to help Ying Xuan, "You are the patriarch of the Ying clan, how can you easily kneel with someone, you are too old to kneel down with the patriarch." ”

When Xiao Chuan knelt down in Ying Xuan, he had to kneel down for Sima Cuo, seeing Sima Cuo step forward to support Ying Xuan, but Ying Xuan was reluctant to get up, Sima Cuo scolded Xiao Chuan, "You hurry up and help the patriarch up." Xiao Chuan hurriedly got up and worked with Sima Cuo to help Yingxuan.

Ying Xuan said, "Ying Xuan, as the patriarch of the Ying clan, is not only for the Ying clan, but also for my Qin people to bow to the old general, please be sure to agree." ”

Sima Cuo saw that Ying Xuan was so firm, so he had to agree, "Okay, although the old man is old, but he is also a bloody man, how can you let a weak woman bow to the old man for the Qin State, today the old man will promise you, enter the palace tomorrow, the old man will give up this body, and also protect the peace of my Great Qin State." ”

Ying Xuan deducted three poems to Sima wrongly, "The old general is worthy of being the humerus of my Qin State, please accept Yingxuan's three bows, Xuan will kowtow to the old general today on behalf of the people of Qin, kowtow to the old general on behalf of the society of Qin, and kowtow to the old general on behalf of the sages who have worked hard for Qin. ”

After Ying Xuan finished speaking, he kowtowed respectfully three times, and then got up.

Sima mistakenly looked at Ying Xuan and said, "Hey, although the Ying clan was slaughtered, but the blood of the Ying clan has not been broken, although the patriarch is a woman, but he is extremely resolute, before the catastrophe, regardless of personal danger, regardless of gains and losses, for the benefit of the country, the successors of the Ying clan, think of the charm of the ghostly people, want to wantonly enslave and slaughter the Ying clan, but it is difficult to achieve it." ”

Ying Xuan said modestly, "Xuan is not talented, and he is not worthy of the old general's appreciation." ”

Xiao Chuan looked at Sima Cuo at this moment, and couldn't help but think of Liu Yuxi's poem "Ascending Sima Co Ancient City": The general is the Qin division, and the southwest is in service. Therefore, on the Qingjiang River, the smoke is obscure. Ascend to Zhixiaochen, and look around. The trench is full of leaves, and the high ball is green. The waste well pumped cold vegetables, and destroyed the Taisheng Lu Valley. The cultivator has ancient weapons, and there are many relics in the rain. Chu Han Yu overlapped, and the barbarian streams were twisted and turned. Leaving this number of bases, a few people were injured from afar.
