"After 20 August, there will be no more business travelers coming from the direction of Wuguan, and none of those who will go to the direction of Wuguan will return." Recently, there has been a lot of rain in the mountains, and the ministers are afraid of accidents, so they sent detectives to investigate. The scout cavalry reported that a new pass west of Wuguan was called 'Muhu', and there were people wearing our army's armor to detain passing merchants. Night exploration, the other army is actually the Korean army, so the martial arts are more auspicious, please Wang Ming. ”

The battle report of Yancheng reads, "The ministers repeatedly kowtowed, and on August 15, some people said that there was a sound of killing in Deng County. The minister immediately ordered people to go to investigate, and found that the gate of Deng County was closed, and the defenders at the head of the city refused to allow anyone to approach. This matter is strange, the scout is a sneak into the realm of Caiyang and Shandu, and finds that the county is owned by South Korea. When the minister learned of the panic, he sent scouts north to Nanyang counties to investigate, and the same was true. Nanyang County has now been broken by the Han army, and Lu Hong does not know life and death. Although the ministers are few and far between, they also have the ambition to serve the country, and ask the king to send troops to help, and the ministers are willing to be the forerunner to recover the realm of Nanyang. ”

When the eunuch ordered the recitation of these two battle reports, the entire hall exploded. All the ministers talked about it, and King Qin hurriedly gathered the ministers together, it turned out that such a big thing had happened. Nanyang County is lost, Wuguan is also lost, the sky of this Qin State is about to fall!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the battle reports of Yancheng and Yaoguan can corroborate each other, and South Korea should first defeat Huang Can's army, and then attack Nanyang and Wuguan." Childe Kui was the first to export.

"Hmmm! The widow thinks the same way, but the most important thing at the moment is how to deal with it. Deng Hou, do you have a good plan? King Qin asked.

Gongzi Kui's fief is in Deng County, but now it has been taken away by South Korea all at once. The same thing that happened to him was Gongzi City, and Wanxian County was also lost in this battle. As a party concerned, Gongzi Kui stood up and spoke at the first time, and King Qin was not surprised.

"The minister thinks that although South Korea has taken the whole county of Nanyang, it is bound to be greatly damaged, and it cannot continue to invade our Guanzhong in the west. However, in order to prevent accidents, a large army should be mobilized to hold the pass. At present, the reinforcements of Han and Wei are rushing to Hangu Pass, and the back road on the prime minister's side is really dangerous. It is not too late to take the two battlefields of Hedong and Taiyuan, and then attack Nanyang. Childe said cautiously.

King Qin nodded secretly in his heart, although Gongzi Kui lost his fiefdom, he did not rush to build yì and send a large army to recover it, which shows that he still has a good grasp of it. At that time, I was also very angry when I first heard the news, but when I calmed down, I had to admit that Hedong was currently more important than Nanyang, and if Hedong was defeated, it would inevitably affect the situation in Taiyuan County.

But at this time, a minister jumped out and objected: "The minister thinks it's inappropriate, Nanyang is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack." Now South Korea has more military customs in hand and occupies the absolute initiative. The current plan is to take advantage of South Korea's unstable foothold and quickly send a large army to encircle and suppress it. As for the Hedong battlefield, it is enough to send a lieutenant to block the reinforcements of Han and Wei. ”

King Qin looked up and found that Wang Huan, a straightforward counselor.

Before the words fell, someone retorted: "From Guanzhong to Nanyang, the mountain is high and the road is long, and there is only a shortcut in Wuguan. Doctor Wang, is this trying to harm my Great Qin soldiers? ”

When everyone looked at it, it was Dr. Gao Yu, who had always been at odds with Wang Huan, who spoke out......

"It is the glory of a soldier to die for the king and to die for the Great Qin. What's more, my Great Qin has the ally of Chu, and when the time comes, I will ask the Chu army and the Yancheng defenders to go north to attack Deng and divert the attention of Korea. South Korea can't take care of the beginning and the end, how long can Nanyang hold it? Wang Huan said.

"It won't last long, but at the moment, the prime minister's army is in danger and urgently needs reinforcements. Doctor Wang said that only 10,000 soldiers and horses could turn the situation around, do you really think that 50,000 Han and Wei armies are so easy to knead? ”

Without waiting for Wang Huan to refute, Gao Yu said to himself, "Now that the war in Taiyuan and Hedong is undecided, if my Great Qin reinvigorates the army and mobilizes the people, and lightly starts the Nanyang front, I will be trapped by grain and grass." Doctor Wang knows what the consequences will be if the grain and grass supply in Hedong and Taiyuan on the Nanyang battlefield is not available? ”

"How can there not be enough food and grass?!" Wang Huan finally seized the opportunity to say something.

King Qin glanced at Zhisu Neishi and motioned for him to speak.

Zhisu Neishi was heartbroken, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, at present, the granary near Xianyang has a total of less than 500,000 stones of grain and grass, which is only enough for the needs of the front-line army in March. Therefore, the minister opposed sending troops to Nanyang. ”

"Why is there so little grain in the country?" Wang Huan immediately asked suspiciously, although Yiqu caused chaos in Guanzhong and burned a large amount of grain and grass, how could there be six or seven hundred thousand stone grain and grass around Xianyang. The ministers who did not know the situation were also full of discussions.

Zhisu Neishi raised his voice at this time and said loudly: "The king is merciful, because of the rebellion in Guanzhong, the people have lost a lot of grain and grass, and the king has specially ordered the ministers to compensate the suffering people for grain and grass, which is so little. ”

The ministers suddenly realized that since the history of Zhisu said so, it would be ill-intentioned to support the dispatch of troops to Nanyang.

"The king is merciful!" The ministers knelt and kowtowed. At the same time, he also turned his attention to who to send to support the prime minister and defend against the Han and Wei coalition forces.

King Qin opened his mouth first and asked, "Wei Wei, how many troops can be dispatched around Xianyang now?" ”

The guard replied respectfully: "Not counting the palace gate guards and Xianyang city guards, there are 50,000 soldiers to adjust." ”

"Well, then announce the order of the widows, send 10,000 troops to guard the pass, and the other 40,000 troops go to Hedong to support the prime minister."

Wei Wei nodded, and Lang Zhongling on the side quickly wrote down King Qin's order, and then asked cautiously, "I don't know who the king is the general?" ”

King Qin looked up at his ministers, suddenly smiled, and said, "Who do you think Aiqing will send to support Hedong?"

The implication of King Qin's words is that the generals sent to the Guanguan side do not need to worry, just a school captain. However, the commander of the 40,000-strong army to the east of the letter to Guguan needs to be carefully considered.

The ministers did not take the lead in speaking, you must know that rescuing the prime minister is a major matter that cannot be sloppy, if the general recommended by himself is defeated and the Qin army is defeated, then he will be jointly and severally responsible. Moreover, these 40,000 troops are the last mobile forces in Xianyang, and in addition, there are only 5,000 city guards and 1,000 palace guards left, and the king of Qin is bound to choose a trustworthy minister. If you misunderstand the holy will, then the gain outweighs the loss.

King Qin kept the reactions of the ministers in mind one by one, and said, "Since they all refuse to say it, the widow will be named." ”

"Wanhou, you haven't said a word today, but what's on your mind?"

Gongzishi was shocked, but on the surface he replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the minister has been a little uncomfortable and groggy recently, what Deng Hou said, the minister agreed, so he did not speak, please atone for your sins." ”

"Wanhou should take care of his body! Do you want to send a doctor to show you? King Qin said with concern on his face.

The ministers looked at this abnormal scene and wondered in their hearts. Recently, the monarch and the minister seem to be too harmonious, when did the brothers and sisters start to be brothers, friends and brothers? However, there is no danger of splitting such a Qin state, which is gratifying. Only the people of Gongzi City have a sad feeling of being dead and sad, and Gongzi City has made it clear that he doesn't want to fight for the position of King Qin, so he can only live in peace.

At this time, Gongzishi opened his mouth and said, "Xie Wang cares. The minister was already much better, and the doctor said that he would be cured in a day or two. ”

"That's good! That's good! Wanhou is the pillar of the country, I don't know who do you think it is better to send to support the prime minister this time? King Qin asked expectantly.

"Hmm......" Gongzi City hesitated, at the moment, the famous generals of the Qin State are dead and old, except for Bai Qi is Wang Ling's junior general, it is really a bit of a feeling of lack of success. What's more important is that he wants to avoid suspicion, and now the prime minister who was good friends with him is leading the army, so his own faction can't be recommended no matter what, so there is only one possibility left, that is......

Thinking of this, Gongzishi opened his mouth and said, "The minister thinks that Weiwei Wang Liao can take on this great responsibility. ”
