Chapter 401: Situation

However, all officials above the fourth rank and military generals above the fifth rank participated in the meeting.

The situation in Taiyuan County became uncontrollable, Zhang Zong did not go through the canonization of the Son of Heaven, and privately inherited Zhang Yu's position as the county guard, and they rose up to oppose Daqin, and took the lead in killing more than 100 envoys led by Zhang Qian sent by Zhao Hai in the past.

The carcasses were discarded haphazardly in the wilderness, to be eaten by wild dogs.

At the same time, at the junction of Hedong County and Taiyuan County, a total of 400,000 men and horses from both sides were gathered to confront each other and a war was about to start.

During this period, the king of Zhennan successively sent twelve secret notes to Zhao Hai's table, asking Zhao Hai for instructions.

After listening to Zhao Hai talk about the current situation, the civil and military ministers of the entire Chengming Hall were extremely solemn at this time.

I don't know how many years it has been since the First Emperor was eloquent and dominated the world, and he has never used large-scale swords.

Now that the flames of war are rekindled, a big battle of hundreds of thousands of troops will be fought in one fight, which immediately makes many courtiers feel a haze descending in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, such a thief, you can't get rid of it!"

"Blatantly murdering my Great Qin envoys, this is something that hasn't happened for many years, Your Majesty, you must fight, play a bright and clear way, and beat out the majesty of Great Qin!"

"Poor Lord Zhang was brave and loyal, but he died at the hands of a villain and a traitor."

"Lord Zhang's death was miserable, and his head was made into a wine bottle, which was used by the two brothers of Zhang Zong and Zhang Chang to drink day and night."

"Crazy, appalling!"

"Taiyuan County has completely become a place occupied by anti-thieves, they must not be regarded as the territory of Great Qin, and they must be annihilated with all their might!"

"Your Majesty, you only need to give 100,000 people to the old ministers, plus dogs, to be able to sweep away the rebels in Taiyuan County and capture all the thieves!" Wang Zhan stood up and roared angrily, like a lion in his twilight years, majestic and mature.

"Yes, Your Majesty, let me wait, I will definitely be able to take down the heads of the two brothers Zhang Zong and Zhang Chang of Taiyuan County!" Another military general also said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also willing to go with you!" Even Jiang Xuanlang, Wang Zhishen and others also stood up at the same time, saying that they would fight with Wang Zhan.

At this moment, the crowd was excited, and it was impossible to suppress it for a while.

Zhao Hai looked at so many generals, one by one full of murderous energy, and felt very relieved in his heart.

After such a long time of dedication and such a large investment, it was not in vain after all.

These people are all elite soldiers of the country, and they can reach ten at a critical moment, and their role and significance are extraordinary.

Zhao Hai sighed deeply, he had the determination to win and the confidence to win, but he understood that this battle was destined to be tragic.

Once the war starts, Great Qin's national strength will be reduced, the development progress of Great Qin will also be slowed down, and at the same time, countless Great Qin's people will be involved in the war and lose their lives.

All of this was originally something that Zhao Hai didn't want to see, and all of this could have been avoided.

Just when Zhao Hai was about to issue an order, he ordered Wang Zhan to be the general of the anti-thieves, lead 150,000 troops and horses, and go to join the king of Zhennan in Hedong County to jointly attack the anti-thieves in Taiyuan County.

Wei Qian, the prime minister of Yipin, suddenly stood up, he clasped his hands and fists and said, "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to act like this!" ”

He immediately expressed the worries in his heart, "Your Majesty, Taiyuan County has always been a place for raising horses, so there are many cavalry and fat horses. ”

"So they are extremely combative, and they are very restrained against the infantry, and once they fight, even if they can win, they need to pay a huge price."

"Coupled with these troops, they were originally my sons of Great Qin, how could they let them kill each other and lose each other, in this case, if the Xiongnu invaded on a large scale, Your Majesty fought on two fronts, I am afraid it would be difficult to win the victory."

"In addition, the current Great Qin is still recuperating and recovering the vitality that he has fought for many years, if a big war breaks out again, I don't know how many years later, Great Qin will be able to recover."

"Moreover, even the king of Zhennan said that the current Taiyuan County is a mess inside, it looks like a group of people on the surface, but in fact it is divided, and there are all kinds of factions inside, all kinds of people with ghosts."

"Although they put on the appearance of wanting to attack Daqin, they actually don't have the real courage to go head-to-head with the Daqin Central Army."

At this time, Jiang Xiaoyue, the commander of the army, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen also feels that what Prime Minister Wei said is reasonable, and he can't go to war easily. ”

Up and down the court, as the biggest boss in the military department came out to speak, it was divided into two factions for a while.

One is the hawkish main battle faction headed by Wang Zhan, and the other is the Huairou faction led by Wei Qian.

Wang Zhan was immediately unhappy, and stood up and said: "Taiyuan County has already killed Zhang Qian, proving their determination to rebel, if they don't fight at this moment, is it possible to wait for them to attack the foot of Xianyang City and then fight them?" ”

"If the court blindly compromises, then in the future, which county guard is not satisfied, he will make a noise against the court, dare to support the army and respect himself, and despise the Son of Heaven, anyway, there is no need to bear the consequences, no one is afraid, wouldn't it be a mess of porridge?"

At this moment, the imperial history of the Imperial Historical Observatory said: "But the consequences of the war, at least do you bear it?" ”

"Do you know how much pressure the Great Master of Zhisu Neishi is? Do you know how tight the fiscal revenue of the entire Daqin is? Do you know that thinking about your military exploits, you don't want people to fight? You don't need money to fight a war? ”

"Do you pay?"

"In addition, once Daqin loses the battle, the majesty will immediately drop a lot, and the Xiongnu side will also be ready to move, thinking that Daqin's internal decay and combat effectiveness are not good, and they may send troops to Xianyang City at any time."

Just after the imperial history was finished, the main battle faction on Wang Zhan's side was not happy, and immediately reprimanded angrily.

The scene was uncontrollable for a while, the main battle was Huairou and the two factions, the quarrel was inextricable, and even Zhao Hai had no way to stop it.

Zhao Hai only waited for them to be arguing, their faces were red, their mouths were dry, and they couldn't speak, then he said, "Everyone, Aiqing, be quiet for a while." ”

"Quarrel can't lead to a result."

"Zhang Qian is dead, more than a hundred Great Qin envoys have been beheaded, this Zhang Zong and Zhang Chang brothers must be a capital crime, there is nothing to discuss about this."

Zhao Hai's voice fell, and there was no objection.

Even Wei Qian understood that Zhang Qian, like him, belonged to the same Wenchen, but he was treated like this, and he was also upset with Zhang Qian in his heart, and it was impossible to bypass the two brothers Zhang Zong and Zhang Chang.

And if these two brothers don't die, they can't make the entire court feel good.

Zhao Hai changed his words at this time, and continued: "But letting the central army in the imperial court and the local army kill each other, this is not a situation I want to see. ”
