Chapter 45: Prepare for War!

Hearing the news of King Yiqu's death, the entire Qin Palace's palace became quiet again.

Qin Wang Tieqing's face represented that a storm was coming. Maybe it's because the passing years are unfavorable, the recent bad news is one after another, and everyone can't remember how many times King Qin has been angry.

King Qin looked at the trembling ministers in the audience, tried to calm the anger in his heart, and asked surprisingly calmly: "Once King Yiqu dies, it will be difficult for us in Great Qin to shirk responsibility. When the news reaches Yiqu, it will definitely cause a riot. All of you Aiqing are the pillars of my Great Qin, I don't know if the plan will be released? ā€

Ministers, look at me, and I look at you, but they dare not speak.

"Back to the king, as the minister has seen, I have been in Daqin Huairou Yiqu for many years, and Yiqu has long been worn out by my Daqin. Now that the king of Yiqu is dead, it is better to immediately send troops to destroy Yiqu and solve the trouble of my Great Qin's henchmen. Huayangjun was unusual, and took the lead in making suggestions.

"It's not appropriate", Jing Yangjun immediately put forward a different opinion, "From what my brother can see, it is too hasty to send troops at this time. It is better to close Xianyang immediately and block the news of the death of King Yiqu. In the name of the king of Yiqu, gather the magnates of Yiqu to gather in Xianyang, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop! At that time, the Yiqu country can be passed on. ā€

"But now that the whole city of Xianyang has spread the king's false order, I am afraid that this news cannot be hidden. Although all the ministers knew that this was not the king's will, now the entire Xianyang City thought that the king was going to crusade against Yiqu. If we don't take action, we are afraid that the king's prestige will be damaged! A loyal minister immediately retorted.

"Then while gathering a large army, blockade Xianyang. That's okay, right? Jing Yangjun said sullenly.

"The impact of the blockade of Xianyang is too great, and the minister thinks it is not advisable." Gao Lingjun spoke, "Once Xianyang is blocked, the inconvenience of the people's lives is secondary, and the ministers are worried that the people will be suspicious of the king. Since the founding of the Great Qin, there have been few moves to close the four gates of Xianyang, if the city gate is closed, doesn't it mean that our Great Qin is afraid of a small righteous canal, and it is not worth it for the minister to be the king. ā€

"But if you don't close the city gate, it will be difficult to keep the Yiqu spies absconding, and I am afraid that the news of the death of the Yiqu King will not be hidden for long." One minister voiced his concerns.

"The minister has an idea, I don't know if it's feasible."

"Gao Lingjun, please say, the widow also wants to know what Gao Lingjun has planned." King Qin spoke.

"I don't dare to use the clever plan, just for the king's reference. I think that what I lack now is time. The king of Yiqu was suddenly assassinated, and my Great Qin had to send troops in advance to destroy the Yiqu Kingdom. But now there are only about 50,000 soldiers in the vicinity of Xianyang, and there is more than enough self-preservation, and the attack is insufficient. ā€

"Closing the city gate is a sign of weakness, which damages the prestige of the king and the prestige of Great Qin. If you don't close the city gate, you can't hide the news of the death of King Yiqu, and Yiqu will come when you hear the wind. But the minister thought that we could be completely loose inside and tight outside, and the gate of Xianyang City was opened, but fifty miles away from Xianyang City, we were only allowed to enter and not go out. Especially those with Yiqu accents and costumes, they will be hunted and killed. In this way, it will not affect the prestige of the king, nor will it affect the assembly of the army. ā€

"Wonderful! Wonderful! When the ministers heard this, their mouths were suddenly opened.

Although the 50-mile blockade line requires relatively large manpower and material resources, it is a rare strategy for both worlds at the moment.

"Gao Lingjun's plan is good, and the minister also has a plan to share the king's worries." Prime Minister Wei Ran, who has not been speaking, spoke up.

"Prime Minister, please speak." King Qin of Longyan Dayue said.

"According to the scout's report, the Yiqu Kingdom's mission to worship the King of Yiqu has already set out. As in previous years, the mission was still the younger brother of the king of Yiqu, led by Yiqu Hong. The king of Chenjian yƬ sent a thousand elite horsemen to kill the Yiqu mission, if the Yiqu flood died, the Yiqu must be in civil strife. After the army is assembled, the king can go down to the righteous canal without much effort. ā€

Yes, yes, the ministers thought of Yiqu Hong, another important figure in the Yiqu Country. Why didn't I think of this layer earlier, so that the prime minister could take the lead. The ministers secretly regretted in their hearts, but they praised the clever plan one after another.

"The minister thinks that checkpoints should be set up hundreds of miles away. Anyone who acted in a hurry and said little was imprisoned. In this way, there is no fish that slips through the net. Not to be outdone, the ministers added their words one after another.

King Qin looked at the ministers who were talking in the audience, and his heart was relieved.

The monarchs and ministers are united, and Daqin can't calm the world.

The king of Qin liked his courtiers to be loyal to him, but he didn't want them to hug each other. Just like today, the construction of the "four nobles" has its own merits, and even if each has its own flaws, King Qin will be happy. But if they speak in unison, thinking that they can only do what they can do, King Qin will feel that he has been kidnapped, and no matter how good the method is, he will not adopt it.

"Just follow Zhong Aiqing's method! The order of the widow: to recruit the county soldiers of Hexi, Beidi, and Hanzhong counties, and each county will send 50,000 county soldiers, bring their own grain and grass, and arrive in Xianyang within ten days. Ten days later, the widow will personally raise an army of 200,000 and destroy the righteous canal. ā€

"Where is Wang Ling?"

"The last general!"

"You quickly take the widow's tiger talisman to the Praetorian Guard camp, and bring a thousand pro-troops to kill Yiquhong. Do you understand? ā€

"Whoa!"

"Huan Qi?"

"The last general!"

"The widow ordered you to lead an army of 30,000 and set off immediately to block the range within fifty miles of Xianyang. If there is anything suspicious, you can cut it first and then play it. The widow only gives you one request, and it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go! Got it? ā€

"Whoa!"

After sending off the two warriors, King Qin did not announce his retirement from the dynasty, but asked with a smile: "King Yiqu was killed inexplicably, and the widow is very uneasy in his heart!" When did such a powerful assassin emerge in the world? Maybe one day the widow will be in a different place when he is asleep! ā€

"Wait for a capital offense!" The ministers all fell to their knees at once. How could King Qin, who was still happy just now, say that if he changes his face, he will change his face!

King Qin didn't stop it, but just smiled colderly.

Although King Yiqu is the most hated person in his life, he died inexplicably in the heavily guarded Ganquan Palace, and the suspicion is too great, and it is difficult to say that there is no internal response. Could it be that some people in the audience bought the army for their own selfish interests? Army! This is the reverse scale of the King of Qin. The King of Qin would never allow anyone to get involved in this area, especially the forbidden army guarding the palace.

At this moment, a person walked in in a hurry. Looking at the minister who was lying on the ground beside him, the CRRC Mansion made Zhao He more and more respectful.

"How's it going?"

"Returning to the king, the commander of the forbidden military academy, the chief eunuch of Ganquan Palace, and all the sergeants, slaves, and eunuchs on duty last night, a total of 732 people, have all been ambushed. After careful reconnaissance by his subordinates, the assassin infiltrated the palace from a well in the apse. There is a secret passage in the well that leads to the foot of Mt. Li. The secret passage shall be reserved for the craftsman. ā€

"Huh? Secret passages? King Qin asked suspiciously.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Since ancient times, craftsmen who built dormitories and mausoleums often dug secret passages to survive in order to protect their lives. The Assassin must have known the craftsmen who built the Ganquan Palace in the first place, so that he could find this secret passage and assassinate the King of Yiqu. After learning of this situation, the minister immediately sent someone to contact the craftsmen who participated in the construction of Ganquan Palace, and found a very strange thing. ā€

"Say!" King Qin's words were concise and to the point.

"The senior engineer who designed and supervised the construction of Ganquan Palace died mysteriously the night before, and a family of seven and two neighbors all died in a fire. And the next night there was a case of the murder of King Yiqu, and according to the minister's view, the two things must be linked. ā€

"Humph! The widow knows. Xianyang ordered Xianyang to investigate the case thoroughly, and a month later, the widow wanted to know the cause and effect of this incident. ā€

"Whoa!" Zhao He retreated.

"Order the forbidden army to thoroughly inspect all corners of the palace and strictly guard against secret passages and the like. The widow doesn't want to become the next king of righteousness. Retreat! ā€

(Sudden work assignments, a series of things happening, and I didn't get home until nine o'clock in the evening.) I'm sorry for a business trip tomorrow and code words on the road. )
