Chapter 170: Attack (2)
Zhao Guodai County
In order to defend against the Xiongnu in the north, the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Yan built lengthy city walls. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and Zhao State, as one of the main attack directions of the Xiongnu, is naturally high and thick.
Behind the high Great Wall, there are more than 100,000 generations of soldiers led by Li Mu, the pillar stone of Zhao State.
"General, Handan has sent a messenger...... "Behind Li Mu, a personal soldier bowed his hand and said.
Li Mu waved his hand, put a piece of freshly cooked beef in his mouth, and said, "Bring it here." β
"Yui!"
After a while, the pro-soldier led a man in military uniform to Li Mu.
"The last general, meet the general!" Le Ren saluted to Li Mu.
Li Mu frowned slightly, nodded and said, "The envoy is polite." β
Le Ren didn't care about Li Mu's seemingly casual move, but said to Li Mu more and more respectfully: "General, it's summer now, the water and grass are abundant, and the Xiongnu in the north are busy grazing. The king ordered you to immediately send troops to supervise you! β
"Soldiers?" Li Mu chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Du Kang, it is an important town in Yan Country, and it is impossible to do it with my little soldiers." β
"This is the king's order, and the rest will not be known ......" Le Ren still did not look angry, and replied calmly.
Li Mu couldn't help but look at Le Ren twice, and continued to ask: "The king is not afraid, send troops to the Yan State, but the west is threatened by the Qin State?" β
"General Hui, before the end of the future, the King of Qin sent a messenger. The king Xu Qin made the five cities between the rivers to promote the alliance! β
"Five Cities Between the Rivers!" Li Mu suddenly stood up in shock.
"That's the rich land of my Zhao country, how could the king promise all the five cities in the river to the Qin country!" There was a hint of anger in Li Mu's tone.
"The Last Will Not Know ......"
"Not long after the Qin State stopped fighting, the domestic army mobilized more than 300,000 troops, at this time, there must be no food and grass, and before the autumn harvest in October, it is impossible to go out of the customs to fight! The king gave away the entire river of the Qin Kingdom for nothing! β
Li Mu went back and forth on his seat, constantly moving around, and his tone was full of anger towards King Zhao. There is some anger in it.
"That's it! Since this is the case, I can only take the loss of my Zhao State from the Yan Kingdom......" Li Mu sat down again, and a burst of battle intent gradually appeared in the tiger's eyes.

Qin Palace
Above the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials are listed on the left and right.
"Biography, Ganro!"
As Zhao Gao's slender voice fell, a small figure slowly appeared at the door of the main hall.
"Minister, Ganluo, fortunately, I will not be dishonored, and I will return from the five cities between the rivers of Zhao State!" Gan Luo said to the Ying Zheng in the palace.
Above the main hall, there was silence, and the civil and military officials were just staring at this twelve-year-old child carefully, which showed that they had already learned the news.
Ying Zheng's face was expressionless, but he smiled slightly in his heart.
"It seems that this kid's skills have not changed. But a piece of paper was exchanged for the five cities between the rivers, which was really a good deal! β
"Aiqing has worked hard this time, whatever reward you want, you can mention it to the widow!" Ying Zheng, who was sitting high on the top of the main hall, spoke.
"The minister is still young, and he doesn't dare to think about it, but whatever the king gives, the minister doesn't dare to resign!" A smile appeared at the corner of Ganluo's mouth, and he said obediently.
"Oh? Aiqing, do you really mean this? Ying Zheng's words were majestic, but there was a little more ridicule in his tone.
Gan Luo's heart chuckled, "The king shouldn't go back on his word, he promised me the position of Shangqing!" β
"Uh...... Of course, the more the king rewards, the better, preferably Shangqing or something......" Gan Luo secretly reminded Ying Zhengdao, he was really afraid that Ying Zheng would forget about Shangqing.
"Hahaha......"
Ganluo's words caused the ministers to laugh. Most of these smiles are friendly.
However, just after these laughter, suddenly there was a discordant voice.
"Huangkou Xiao'er, what kind of status do I have as a Great Qin Shangqing, and I can ask for it if you say it?" Sima Jun on the right opened his mouth and scolded.
The entire court was also stunned, and looked at Sima Jun in a daze, not knowing what he meant.
Although Gan Luo is only twelve years old now, he is indeed only a yellow-mouthed child in front of their group of old antiques, but his talent has also been fully displayed.
Everyone really couldn't understand why Sima Jun would risk completely offending a future rising star to say such a thing.
In fact, this is also Sima Jun's consideration.
Ganluo's envoy Zhao was directly given by Yingzheng, and he had never even been in the court.
Sima Jun knew in his heart that with the character of Yingzheng, if he did not trust a person, he would never allow power. In this way, it can be seen that this genius boy has already won the trust of Yingzheng.
And now above the court, only the Qin family is dominant, and sooner or later there will be friction with the King of Qin.
Instead of watching King Qin's wings become fuller, it is better to cut out the wings that have not yet sprouted as soon as possible.
"Oh? It seems that Lord Sima is a little unconvinced by you......" Ying Zheng's words also sounded at the right time, but such words sounded like this, but it felt that Sima Jun was a little jealous.
"Your Majesty, Ganluo envoy Zhao, although he has merit, he must not be allowed to be the secretary! If you really let such a yellow-mouthed kid become the secretary of my Great Qin, wouldn't it make the countries laugh at me that there is no one in Great Qin? β
Ying Zheng thought for a while, nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is very true, since this is the case, the widow Xu ......"
Just when Ying Zheng seemed to be planning to decide on Gan Luo's reward, Gan Luo suddenly spoke up and interrupted Ying Zheng's words, "Your Majesty! Please say a word to Rong Ganluo! β
"What else does Gan Aiqing have to say?" There seemed to be a hint of anger in Yingzheng's words, and it seemed that he was a little dissatisfied with Gan Luo for interrupting him.
"Your Majesty, the minister has lost his words...... Gan Luo first bowed his hand to Yingzheng, and then to the ministers of civil and military affairs on both sides to show his apology.
"What does Aiqing mean?" A smile appeared in Yingzheng's eyes, and he looked at Ganluo and asked.
"The previous words are just the words of the minister's will, and the king must not take them seriously!"
"Oh? In this way, what kind of reward does Gan Aiqing think is suitable for you? Ying Zheng asked rhetorically.
"Back to the king, my Great Qin Dynasty has been knighted for military merits. Now, the minister sent an envoy to Zhao State, and without spending a single soldier, he sought to come to the five cities between the rivers for Daqin. The minister thinks that this skill is enough to reach the position of the right chief......"
Ying Zheng nodded and replied: "Yes, it doesn't cost a single soldier to obtain the five cities in Hejian, and his military merits are enough to get the position of the right chief......"
"Then the king will be the right minister!" Gan Luo said indifferently.
Sima Jun frowned slightly, a little unsure of Gan Luo's intentions.
Judging from Ganluo's previous words, this young man obviously wanted to get the position of Shangqing. In other words, Ying Zheng had already promised him the position of secretary.
However, why doesn't Yingzheng help him now? Even, he just got a position as the right chief.
The position of the right chief, ranked tenth among the twenty lords of Great Qin, is not high or not, and low is not low. In this way, at best, it can be regarded as a second secretary.
And in the eyes of others, such a position is simply a step to the sky, but in the eyes of a court elder like Sima Jun, it has no weight at all.
"Could it be that the king wants to use this to think that I am weak?" As soon as this thought appeared in Sima Jun's mind, he was dispelled by Sima Jun.
If Yingzheng would really be weak, then LΓΌ Buwei would not have died so early.
After thinking about it, Sima Jun still didn't understand Yingzheng's intentions.
"What does Sima Aiqing think?" At this time, Ying Zheng looked at Sima Jun again and asked.
"I think it...... Feasible! Sima Jun finally nodded and agreed.
"Boy, thank you, Lord Sima!" Ganro grinned, revealing an innocent childish smile.
Next to Ying Zheng, the corners of Zhao Gao's mouth twitched slightly. Only Zhao Gao understood what Gan Luo meant by showing such a smile. Well, that's half his life savings......
