Seeing the hesitation on King Qin's face, Mrs. Huayang was even more "heartbroken", and cried on King Qin: "Your Majesty, among all the countries in the world, only Qin sent the crown prince hostage to Han. Last year, after the Qi State exchanged fifty miles of land for Gongzi leave, only our Qin State was left with a proton in Luoyang. ”

"The five kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Chu, Yan, and Qi, in terms of national strength, only Chu is slightly stronger than us. Chu has repeatedly opposed South Korea, but South Korea does not dare to embarrass Chu. In the final analysis, South Korea wants to recuperate and does not want to start a war. At this time, we will take the crown prince back to Jinyang, how can Korea be difficult with us! Even if in order to win the trust of South Korea, if you want to continue to send protons to Luoyang, you can choose an ordinary son, and you don't have to commit the prince to Han! ”

"Doesn't the king miss the prince, don't you want the prince to come back to serve the king?"

The husband is safe and assured, the widow will definitely find a way to welcome the prince back. ”

However, this day was not calm for the king of Qin after all, and after coming out of the queen's bedroom with a heavy heart, the king of Qin received an astonishing news - the general of Zhao State, Lian Po, had 100,000 troops and arrived at the junction of Yanmen County and Taiyuan County, which is also the border between the two countries.

The king of Qin immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter, and although the army of Zhao had not crossed the border to attack Qin, no one would be bored and march to an armed parade! Zhao must have a plan against Qin. Among them, the most likely reason is to recover the land on the east bank of Fenshui.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that he should quickly transfer troops to the north to prevent the Zhao army from making chaos! Prime Minister Ying immediately expressed his stance after hearing that Zhao Jun was about to move on the border.

"What the Prime Minister said is very true! The widow also thinks so! King Qin set the tone for the meeting.

The ministers naturally knew. The morale of the Qin army was booming, and in the face of the aggressive Zhao army, the Qin state could not tolerate it. But who should be selected as a general and how many troops should be sent, King Qin should be hesitant and want his ministers to discuss.

"Your Majesty! The minister thought that Yangquan Jun knew the art of war. can be a general, lead the army to resist the Zhao army! "No one expected that the first person to come out and express his stance was actually Lang Zhongling Lu Buwei.

Although Lü Buwei was trusted by the King of Qin, he had always been low-key and steady. Whenever there is a major event in the court, it is often after many courtiers have expressed their opinions, Lü Buwei knows the likes and dislikes of King Qin by observing the look of King Qin, and then he makes a final "summary". Everyone didn't expect that Lu Buwei would be so proactive this time.

Everyone knows. Yangquan Jun is the elder brother of Mrs. Huayang, and Lü Buwei and Yangquan Jun have a close relationship. But because of this, the ministers were quite puzzled by Lü Buwei's recommendation of Yangquanjun as a general and led the army north to resist Lian. If Lian Po was easy to deal with, Yang Duan and the army would not have been driven out of Yanmen and Yunzhong by the Zhao army and defeated for hundreds of miles. Although Yang Quanjun has experience in leading troops, he has to say that he has a duel with Lian Po's 100,000 army. It's not enough. Lu Buwei has no reason to harm Yang Quanjun!

"Your Majesty! The Zhao army is menacing, but it is a tired army. The minister was willing to lead his army north. Clear the inner space for the king, and strengthen my great Qin's prestige! Yang Quanjun actually gladly accepted Lu Buwei's proposal and took the initiative to ask for help. This surprised the ministers. Could it be that Yang Quanjun is so confident and not afraid of defeat?!

"Although the minister is not talented, he is willing to mention a brigade of divisions and refuse the Zhao army to be outside the border." At critical moments. The newly promoted guard captain Yang Duanhe did not give in, and also spoke up.

The defeat to Lian Po is the only stain on Yang Duanhe since he joined the army, although victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but Yang Duanhe felt that he was too careless last time. So he lost to the old and spicy Lian Po. If you give yourself another chance, you will never make the same mistake. This time, Lian Po led the elite of the 100,000 Zhao army, which gave him a chance to take revenge! Although Yang Quanjun's status is higher than his own, his ability to command troops is far inferior to his own. Therefore, Yang Duanhe didn't think that Yangquanjun could fight for himself.

In line with the principle that it is right to make the enemy uncomfortable, Du Chan immediately spoke out in solidarity with the guard captain Yang Duanhe, and said: "Your Majesty! The minister thought that Wei Wei had the experience of breaking the Zhao army, and it was the most suitable to lead the troops to face off against the Zhao army! Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, coupled with the menacing Zhao army, this battle is only allowed to win and not defeat for my Great Qin, Yangquanjun lacks experience, and may not be able to repel the Zhao army! ”

Yang Quanjun suddenly looked at each other angrily, in terms of experience, of course he was not as good as Yang Duanhe. But Yang Duan didn't have the same experience as when he first took office?! Some are just the trust of King Qin! Moreover, Du Chan unabashedly questioned his ability, and did not save a little face for himself at all, so there was no need for him to be polite.

However, it was Lang Zhongling Lü Buwei who spoke first, only to hear Lü Buwei smile and say to King Qin: "Your Majesty! I think this is a fallacy! General Du has no experience, doesn't he master one-third of Jinyang's soldiers and horses?! It can be seen that the command of troops in battle depends on the general's single-mindedness, which has something to do with experience, but it is not decisive. Talent and the trust of the king are indispensable. Even Wei Wei, before he was in charge of the 100,000-strong army to defeat the Zhao army, he was relatively inexperienced! But because of the king's support, coupled with the ability of the guard to use soldiers, the three armies are killed, so they can break the Zhao army! ”

This sentence directly made Du Chan's face red, and he couldn't refute it. If you refute it yourself, doesn't it mean that you don't have enough experience and are not qualified to be a general and command one-third of Jinyang's soldiers and horses?! Therefore, Du Chan can only suffer a dark loss, and there are still "geniuses" by default, such as himself, such as Yang Quanjun, such as Yang Duanhe.

King Qin nodded, looked at Yang Quanjun, and asked, "Yangquan Jun, are you sure to defeat Zhao Jun?" And how many soldiers and horses are needed? ”

The implication of King Qin's words was that as long as Yangquanjun was willing to make a military order to ensure victory, the opportunity to send troops would be given to Yangquanjun. This is also the conclusion that King Qin came to after careful consideration. During this period of time, he doted on Du Ji too much, and he also indulged Du Ji too much, which made the courtiers have too many associations, thinking that he might set up another son born to Du Ji as the crown prince. The courtiers gradually divided into three factions, one faction was only loyal to themselves and was not biased towards anyone. One faction is based on the general Du Chan as the core, hoping to change him as the crown prince when the son born to Du Ji grows up. One faction is headed by Yang Quanjun, hoping that the position of Prince Chu will be as stable as Mount Tai. You can inherit the throne after a hundred years.

For a king, it is necessary to maintain the balance of the court. The key to balance lies in which faction has the highest momentum, and which faction must be suppressed. His own good Du Chan has already caused a bad impact, and it has provoked Mrs. Huayang to miss the prince's tea and dinner, and she is bedridden. Since there is a tendency for the court to lose its balance, it needs to be remedied. Therefore, King Qin decided to give Yangquanjun a chance, provided that Yangquanjun had this self-confidence.

"Your Majesty! The minister is sure that as long as the king gives the minister 30,000 troops, the minister will definitely be able to defeat the Zhao army! Yang Quanjun said confidently.

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar. It's cheap on the other side! On the other side is 100,000 Zhao troops! No matter which one it is, it is enough to give Qin Guo a headache! What's more, it is now an army of 100,000 under the command of Lian Po! Where did Yangquanjun get the confidence and self-confidence?!

King Qin was also full of surprise, originally, in King Qin's opinion. Yangquanjun also needs at least 100,000 troops to be sure to resist the Zhao army. But now, Yang Quanjun only needs to say that he only needs 30,000 troops. Could it be that Yangquanjun is an immortal famous general, a famous general who has been buried by himself for a long time? ! King Qin was very skeptical!

"Thirty thousand troops?! Do you know that the consequences of deceitful kings can be very serious! King Qin pretended to be stern and said.

"The ministers dare not deceive the king! Thirty thousand! As long as the minister has an army of 30,000, there is naturally a way to let the Zhao army return in vain! If the minister can't do this, please cut off the title of the minister and put him in prison for punishment! Yang Quanjun replied.

"Good! The widow will allow you an army of 30,000, and there is no time limit, as long as you can make the Zhao army unable to break through Wuzhai. That's a great achievement! King Qin said with great joy.

Wuzhai is a city on the border of Qin and Zhao, if the Zhao army cannot break through Wuzhai. It was impossible to go south and go deep into Taiyuan. If the Zhao army detours, it is very likely that the Qin army will cut off the grain route, which can be described as a battleground for soldiers.

"Thank you, the king!"

Yangquanjun received the tiger talisman and went to the school to select the generals and did not mention it for the time being, but said that after the court meeting, King Qin left Prime Minister Ying alone. Ying was an old minister during the Zhao Dynasty. He is an iconic figure in the court who maintains a neutral attitude towards the crown prince. Therefore, regarding whether to bring the crown prince Chu back from Luoyang, King Qin wanted to hear Ying Ze's opinion.

"The minister dares to ask, does the king have the idea of changing the crown prince?" Ying Ze did not answer directly, but asked such a question.

King Qin immediately realized the other party's intentions. If he wants to change the crown prince, it doesn't matter if the son Chu stays in Luoyang or not. If he doesn't want to change the crown prince yet, then his next rhetoric will be meaningful.

"The prince is respectful and virtuous, how can the widow change the prince?!" King Qin said with a determined face.

Ying Ze nodded and said: "The position of the crown prince is related to the fortunes of the country, and the minister really does not want to see the heirs of the king fall apart in order to compete for the position of the crown prince. Since the king didn't have this thought, the minister thought that he should quickly pick up the prince and return to Jinyang. ”

"Why?"

"At the beginning, the reason why our Daqin let the prince pledge in Luoyang was because we did not have a firm foothold in Taiyuan and Hedong. Now the king is wise, and the Qin state is united, so he can defeat Zhao and collect the land of Fendong. Looking at all the countries in the world, only Qin is committed to the proton to Han and the prince to Han. The crown prince is old, and he is the age when he needs to deal with state affairs. If the king does not welcome the prince back to Qin, the rest of the princes will covet the position of the prince, and the country will be unstable! Ying Ze explained.

"No one worries, South Korea too! Picking up the prince back to Qin Yi makes it difficult for South Korea not to be suspicious! King Qin sighed.

"The king is too worried!" Ying Ze was relieved: "South Korea's concern is just that the Qin State is strong!" In particular, he was afraid of the alliance between Qin and Zhao. Qin and Zhao are not in harmony, swords and soldiers are facing each other, and South Korea also wishes! The king can know that the state of Chu does not claim to be a vassal to Korea, and Korea does not tolerate it; Yan, Zhao, and Qi do not appoint protons to South Korea, and South Korea does not blame them, what is the reason for this? South Korea wants to recuperate! ”

"What does the prime minister mean is that as long as we are not in harmony with the Zhao State, it doesn't matter if we send the crown prince to Luoyang or not?" King Qin said uncertainly.

"If South Korea thought that Proton was useful, why did they let Chang'an Jun return to Handan in the first place! South Korea is re-profitable! Now that we and the Zhao State are about to fight, it is the time to rely on our Qin State. At this time, how could South Korea not let the crown prince return to China? The king only needs to say that the queen is seriously ill and lobbied the king of Han with filial piety, and the king of Han will definitely agree! Ying Ze said confidently.

"The widow understands!" King Qin smiled knowingly. It's just the right time for Zhao Guo to attack! If there is no such thing, it is really difficult to do what I promised Mrs. Huayang. Now that there is such a thing, in order to prevent itself from being embarrassed and angry, South Korea will most likely agree to return the crown prince. After all. Compared to the national interest, everything can be sacrificed. Could it be that if the king of Han trapped the crown prince Chu in Luoyang, the Qin State would obey the Korean language?!

Twenty days later, Luoyang, South Korea.

Not long after the news of Zhao's army attacking Qin reached Korea, Qin's envoy, Lang Zhongling, Lü Buwei, arrived in Luoyang. Many people think. Lü Buwei most likely came to Korea for help on behalf of the King of Qin. After all, although the national strength of Qin and Zhao is comparable, if South Korea is willing to send troops to attack Daijun, Zhao will inevitably worry about the safety of the capital and then withdraw its troops. Even if possible, Qin and Han could take advantage of the dispersion of Zhao's main army and carve up Zhao together.

But when Lü Buwei expressed his intention in the court, he told the king of Han that the reason why King Qin sent himself to Korea was because Mrs. Huayang was seriously ill. Thinking of the crown prince Zichu, hoping that Zichu can return to Jinyang, after fulfilling the relationship between mother and son, the Korean monarchs and ministers were a little surprised. This statement also basically shows that the Qin state was not afraid of the attack of the Zhao state. It's just that as a vague condition, Qin hopes that Korea can be released to the crown prince Chu.

Regarding whether to release the crown prince Chu, the opinions of the ministers in the Korean court are not very unanimous. Some people believe that the Qin state served Korea very respectfully. Since the Qin State moved its capital to Jinyang, he has never been disrespectful to South Korea. Now Mrs. Huayang is seriously ill. Thinking of the prince, South Korea is regarded as this kind of filial piety, so that the prince Chu clothes Mrs. Huayang. Some people are worried that this is a trick of the Qin State, which is respectful and respectful to South Korea, but if the crown prince Chu is released to the Qin State, this bargaining chip will be missing. Will Qin's attitude towards South Korea still be the same as before?! At best, Zichu can only return to China just in case, but Zichu's family, including the royal grandson who was born for a few months, Yingzheng must stay in Luoyang as a hostage. After Mrs. Huayang recovered, Zichu still had to return to Luoyang and continue to work as a proton.

Of course, King Han knew all the reasons behind this. King Qin had more than 20 sons (sons), and Zichu was originally the most inconspicuous, and the reason why he became the crown prince was also due to luck. It is wishful thinking to use Zichu's safety to blackmail the Qin State and force the Qin State to submit. Since Qin Guo is willing to use the confrontation with Zhao State as a bargaining chip to win his trust, then he has the right to agree!

As soon as King Han spoke, none of the ministers objected to this matter, which was the prestige of a king with great military achievements. King Han used countless facts to tell his ministers that there was nothing wrong with the decision he made. If you feel that something is wrong, it is a problem with your eyes.

Zi Chu originally thought that he would stay in Luoyang under the title of a crown prince until King Qin died of illness, and then he could return to Jinyang to succeed to the throne, just as King Qin Zhao had experienced. But I didn't expect that after only six years, I was able to set off and return to Jinyang. Zichu attributed it to the good luck brought to him by his eldest son, Yingzheng, and secretly made up his mind that when he succeeded to the throne, he would definitely cultivate Yingzheng well. Of course, Zichu will not forget the efforts made by Mrs. Huayang, Yangquanjun, Lü Buwei and others for his return to China, even if he succeeds to the throne as King of Qin, at least for a long time, he still needs to rely on their support. It is not that you can command your ministers when you sit on the throne, but you must have people who can use them for your own use.

Just when Zichu was looking forward to returning to Jinyang, in a courtyard deep in the Luoyang Palace, King Han was chatting happily with Lü Buwei.

Lü Buwei didn't think about turning his back on Korea, completely surrendering to the Qin State, and becoming a powerful minister in the Qin State who decided the life and death of countless people. But South Korea's development is too fast, from the victory of Huayang to the present, it took less than 15 years for King Han to change South Korea from the bottom of the existence to the largest country in the world. King Han called the emperor and exterminated the Zhou Dynasty, but no country in the world dared to send troops to resist, and his prestige was so prestigious. According to this posture, it will not take ten years for South Korea to unify the world. Even if he becomes the minister of Qin, or even the king of Qin, so what?! In the end, it's not that the country is ruined, kneeling in front of the palace in Luoyang, bowing his head and pleading guilty?!

What's more, there is still a weakness in Lü Buwei. After all, he has the mark of South Korea on his body, and he has also written a lot of twists and turns to King Han, but if he dares to turn his back on Korea, King Han only needs to transfer these twists and turns to King Qin, even if he doesn't die, he has to take off a layer of skin! Rather than taking such a risk, it is better to honestly act as the internal response of Korea, and when the Qin State is annexed by Korea, no matter how bad it is, he will be a marquis.

Moreover, Lü Buwei has already seen through it, King Han is the kind of person who has clear grievances, and he will be rewarded for his merits and punished for his mistakes. He was alienated from South Korea for a while a few years ago, but King Han still remembered his past achievements and gave himself a chance to change. This made Lü Buwei very grateful. King Han even hinted to Lü Buwei that if the Qin State was destroyed, his own merits would be enough to seal the throne! Crown! This is a title that has never been awarded since the implementation of the new title in South Korea!

The twelfth-class title, as long as the county marquis and below work hard, it can always be achieved. Starting with the barons, viscounts, and counts, it is difficult to achieve without independently leading troops to achieve great victories or offering strategies or inventions that are enough to rejuvenate Korea. As for the marquis, it is enough for the winner not to salute in front of the three dukes and nine kings, and in terms of military merits alone, at least he has captured a state. The feudal monarch is even more rare, and there is no merit to destroy the country! (To be continued......)
