In the next nearly a month, Zhu Li Ji and Gao Sheng often met in the court, but because of the unpleasant conversation last time, Gao Sheng did not dare to ask Lu Li Ji in private. And Zhu Liji did not take the initiative to talk to Gao Sheng about recommending Zhang Yi again.

During this period, a major decision was made in the Qin court: Qin decided to take advantage of the winter to launch a war against Korea, the weaker of the Six Kingdoms. The cause of the war was Korea's entry into the alliance advocated by Su Qin, and Qin Jun Yingsi was full of anger and anger at Korea, a small country that had bowed down to Qin in the past, and openly joined the camp against Qin.

Later, he received top-secret information. The information was sent back to Xianyang by the wire newspaper that Qin State had placed in Luoyang City, and the information said: After Su Qin absorbed South Korea to join the Alliance, he returned to Luoyang, stayed there, and was greedy for joy with his two newly married ladies in Luoyang City every day, and he had no intention of caring about the matter of the alliance in a short period of time.

Moreover, among the six countries, Chu, Wei and other countries were increasingly suspicious of the alliance, and even Zhao was dissatisfied with Su Qin.

After Qin Jun Yingsi got the news, he was overjoyed in his heart, and felt that the opportunity of the Qin State had come, and it happened to coincide with the coming of winter, which was the time for military conquest. He thought, "If you don't fight now, when will you wait?" ”

He then secretly summoned several important ministers of the court and China to negotiate military aircraft in front of the emperor, including seven battle-hardened ministers such as Zhu Liji, Gongsun Yan, and Sima Cuo.

At the Imperial Council, two factions of opinion were formed, with Zhu Liji and another Wenchen advocating that the Qin army recuperate for another year, observe the development of the situation in the East, and not rush to start a war against the Six Kingdoms.

The reason for the disease was that the six countries had just formed a joint alliance and had not yet been consolidated, and if they fought at this time, once the six countries reunited to deal with the Qin state, it would give them a real reason and excuse, which was equivalent to helping the six countries strengthen their determination to join forces.

The terrible thing is that if the six countries unite against Qin, it will be difficult for Qin to have a chance to win, so Qin's hegemony will inevitably suffer major setbacks, and even cause irreparable losses!

However, the main battle faction led by Gongsun Yan and Sima Cuo tried their best to persuade Qin Jun to make up his mind to punish Korea and immediately start a new war. Gongsun Yan and Sima Cuo both suffered defeat because of Anyi, and for almost a year, people were gray and slippery, and they always felt that their faces were gloomy, and this time the monarch intended to use force against South Korea, which was naturally a good opportunity for them to wash away their shame.

What's more, Su Qin's alliance is facing the danger of collapse, and if he takes the opportunity to defeat South Korea, he will undoubtedly set an example and give a warning to the other five countries, so that even if Su Qin is clever and clever, I am afraid it will be difficult to get a response from all countries.

Gongsun Yan fanned the flames to encourage the monarch to use force, and it was not surprising that he was an opportunist, and he escaped the culpability of the defeat of Anyi by relying on the support of his eight sons in the palace. This time to launch a new war against Korea, he is naturally unscrupulous, and if he loses, he will be defeated, what is his Gongsun Yan afraid of?

However, even Sima Cuo was determined to fight the main battle, and Zhu Liji felt a little puzzled: "Could it be that Sima Cuo forgot his feud with Gongsun Yan on the front line of Anyi in the Wei State?" He is now bent on fighting, could it be that he is willing to be Gongsun Yan's lieutenant general? ”

After the controversy was at its worst, the faction of Zhu Liji, who advocated recuperation, gradually fell into a disadvantage, because Qin Jun Yingsi already had a deep hatred for Su Qin and the Six Kingdoms in his heart, coupled with the bright prospects depicted by Gongsun Yan and Sima Cuo, he was unconsciously inclined to start a new war.

Sima Cuo swore and promised: "Your Excellency, rest assured, our Qin State mobilized a large army, took advantage of its surprise, and quickly sent troops to Hangu Pass to capture South Korea's Michi, and when Korea felt helpless, it would naturally bow down to Qin State, and then it would be too late for the Six Kingdoms to react!" ”

Gongsun Yan also patted his chest and said to Qin Junying: "South Korea is the most hateful, the first rat at both ends, it should be taught a hard lesson." As soon as our Qin army came out of Guguan, it would only be three or five days to open the door to Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea. ”

Qin Jun Yingsi listened to Sima Cuo and Gongsun Yan's bold words, and he was even more relieved. He squinted his eyes, a trace of hatred appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: "God has given me the opportunity of the Qin State, if we don't seize it, it will be a tyrannical thing." The widow was determined to mobilize a large army to attack Korea within half a month, and Sima Cuo was the main general. ”

Zhu Liji still shook his head and said, "Do you want to think about it again, Xu Ertu?" ”

Ying Si waved his hand and said resolutely: "The widow has made up his mind, the sick brother doesn't need to say much, the widow has his own measure." ”

Gongsun Yan didn't expect that he would try his best to lead the battle, but the post of chief general was snatched away without Sima Mistake, he was not convinced, and said to Qin Jun Yingsi: "Weichen is not talented, he is willing to be the main general of the attack on Han Michi, General Sima may wish to rest at home for some more time, waiting for the good news of my victory." ”

Sima mistakenly saw Gongsun Yan snatching the position of chief general with him, and he was very dissatisfied, he stared at Gongsun Yan angrily, and said: "The king has already made a decision, and Doctor Gongsun will come to snatch the position of the chief general again, do you still take the king in your eyes?" ”

Gongsun Yan smiled gloomily and replied: "The king's order must be firmly remembered in his heart, what do you do in your eyes?" After all, you are young, and you still need time to practice, and if you want to say that for the terrain of Michi, South Korea, in the end, my Gongsun Yan is more familiar. ”

Sima Cuo is more than 20 years younger than Gongsun Yan, and he is particularly taboo for Gongsun Yan and other older ministers to talk about his age and belittle his ability, so after Sima Cuo listened to Gongsun Yan's words, he "vacated" and stood up from his seat.

Sima Cuo pointed at Gongsun Yan and sneered mercilessly: "What's the use of your old age, in the battle of Anyi back then, you were not a light enemy, but you were taken advantage of by Su Qin, encountered an ambush, lost your armor, lost your troops, and returned in embarrassment." ”

Gongsun Yan listened to Sima Wrong which pot was not opened, and blamed himself on the grounds of the mistakes he made back then, and he was embarrassed, he became angry, and he also stood up suddenly, and said: "I am alone, and you Sima Wrong sits back and does not save you, are you not guilty?" ”

Qin Jun Yingsi heard his two ministers fighting in front of everyone, and his face was red, and he felt that his face was gloomy, and he saw that Gongsun Yan and Sima Cuo were arguing and left the table, and hurriedly shouted: "You all sit down for me, if you have something to say, tear each other down in front of the widow, and put the widow anywhere!" ”

Gongsun Yan and Sima Cuo were angry when they saw Qin Junyingsi, so they sat down in a daze, but the injustice in their hearts was still difficult to dissipate, and they were all panting angrily.
