Before you know it, a month has passed.

This month is the coldest season.

This month, the people of Xianyang are also the busiest.

Ying Zheng held a full moon ceremony for the second prince Hu Hai, and spent the rest of his time supervising the progress in various aspects.

Li Si stayed in Jingyao all day long, helping Jingjiaban make "my device" and flying crossbows.

Jing Fan was also afraid of missing a big event, so he worked overtime to take people to be busy day and night.

Meng Wu and Wei Yu were busy training the newly expanded "our army", and because of the weather, the soldiers were wearing thick winter coats and conducting "snow exercises" outside.

Meng Tian and Meng Yi also participated, conducting arduous and meticulous training with the sergeants.

Wang Jian also discussed with Yingzheng the plan to defend the city, and then received an army of 100,000 and stationed them in the four directions of Xianyang City.

Lü Buwei was busy moving the families of the Western Chu army to Xianyang. Under the temptation of giving land and livestock, almost all the families of the Western Chu army were very active in cooperating with the migration.

The soldiers of the Western Chu Army, in surprise and expectation, welcomed their loved ones.

The mountain bandits who lived in the mountains and forests now finally have their own land and property, so their gratitude to King Qin is even more sincere.

On this day, Jing Fan delivered 2,000 flying crossbows to Ying Zheng's hands.

"Your Majesty, there are still a thousand flying crossbows, which can be made in about half a month." Jing Fan said.

"Not bad." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I heard from Mr. that you have made several more sets of instruments, so the speed of manufacturing has been accelerated several times. ”

"Actually, those instruments were made before, but they weren't put together." Jing Fan said, "Mr. likes to make a measure in advance of everything he does, so he always asks us to prepare more things in his spare time." ”

"Sir's habit is good, it seems that the widow also needs to learn more." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Jing Fan said with an embarrassed face: "Your Majesty, this flying crossbow, Weichen can make a difference, but that 'my weapon' can't make three thousand in a short time." ”

Ying Zheng said with some surprise: "The widow has never said that he is in a hurry to get these three thousand 'my weapons', you can forge it slowly." ”

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"But ......," Jing Fan paused and said, "Didn't the king order the captain to take the 'our army' and capture Chang Yu when the time comes?" ”

"Huh." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "Who said that to capture Chang Yu, you must hold 'my weapon' and hold a sword, isn't it the same?" ”

"Oh." Jing Fan scratched his head and said, "I thought that the king was in a hurry to get this 'my weapon', and then after equipping the 'my army', he could go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

"Actually, the widow thinks that although the way he trains his soldiers is strange, it can indeed greatly improve the combat ability of the soldiers, and combined with the flexible formation, it must be a surprising winning force." Ying Zheng said, "But if you don't go to the battlefield all the time, but just practice blindly, you must not be able to reflect the strength of 'our army', so the widow wants them to show their skills, but they are afraid of some damage, so they let them stay in the end and attack Chang Yu directly." ”

"So that's the case, then Weichen is much less stressed." Jing Fan smiled innocently.

"By the way, why didn't Mr. come back with you?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Mr. took the 'my device' that he just made to Mengfu, and he must be back soon." Jing Fan said.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Li Si enter the door.

Ying Zheng handed a cup of hot tea to Li Si and said with a smile: "As soon as the widow mentioned Mr., Mr. came back, take a sip of hot tea." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Si took the tea, blew it, and took a sip.

"It's been a really hard time for you two during this time." Ying Zheng said gratefully, "However, now we can't relax, and strive to prepare everything in one go." ”

"Not bad." Li Si nodded and said, "There is still more than a month, and he is the king."

The day of the crown ceremony is also the most critical moment, and it is necessary to seize the time in front of it, so as to take the initiative. ”

"Then may I ask sir, when should we go to Yongcheng to be regarded as the best time and take the initiative." Ying Zheng was anxious to see Li Si, the purpose was to ask this question.

"Your Majesty, that ......" Unexpectedly, Li Sigang opened his mouth, but was stopped by Yingzheng raising his hand.

"Sir, let's not use the old rules this time, let's just say it." Ying Zheng stopped Li Si's words and said.

"Huh." Li Si shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Okay, then we won't ask or answer this time." ”

"Sir, please." Ying Zheng said.

"This matter, it should not be too hasty, otherwise it will startle the snake, if it holds the heart of the fish to die and the net is broken, then it will carry the queen mother in advance to restrain us. Then all our plans will come to naught. Lees said.

Ying Zheng nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Similarly, this matter can't be delayed, if you go later, I'm afraid it will be the same result, don't forget, the king, the main purpose of our trip to Yongcheng is to protect the queen mother." Lees said.

"Then how about we leave all the three thousand flying crossbows in the hands of the Western Chu Army?" Ying Zheng asked.

"After that, the king will personally come forward to appease the families of the soldiers of the Western Chu army." Li Si said, "And during this time, we'd better find out whether there are other forces behind Chang Yu, and what kind of deployment of its military strength is." ”

"According to the information sent back by Chen Li, Chang Yu does have other forces as support, otherwise where would he have bought so many ordnance." Ying Zheng analyzed.

"Then can the king find out which country is behind Chang Yu?" Lees asked.

Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "This matter can no longer be entrusted to Chen Li, there are many old families in Yongcheng, and if you think about it, you should send a royal child to go to Yongcheng first, and ask the old people about the details." ”

"Yes, that's exactly what Weichen meant." Li Si said, "According to Weichen, Yingcheng is a good candidate. ”

"Hahaha, Mr. and the widow thought of it again." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

So, after agreeing, Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gao to summon Ying Cheng into the palace.

In the secret room, Ying Zheng and Li Si laid out the plan to Ying Cheng in detail.

Ying Cheng comprehended and made preparations, and drove the horse away from Xianyang.

On the other side, Yongcheng, Changxin Houfu.

Tuoba Hai returned to the mansion in the dust and had just sat down.

"How? Has the information been delivered? Chang Yu asked eagerly.

Tuoba Hai nodded vigorously and said, "Well, it's delivered." ”

"Father, what did he say?" Although Chang Yu tried to keep her voice as low as possible, she still seemed quite anxious.

Tuoba Hai seemed to be a little thirsty, swallowed his saliva, and then said: "Back to the Hou Ye, the lord read the letter you wrote to him, and asked the last general to speak in detail, and then gathered the patriarchs and discussed it for three days. ”

"The result?" Chang Yu asked.

At this time, Liu Yuan handed a cup of hot tea to Tuoba Hai.

Tuoba Hai didn't have a good time, and after drinking it cleanly, he said: "What the Lord means is that the remnants of Yiqu have been away from their homeland for many years, and now, it is time to recover the blood debt. ”

"Hahaha...... Chang Yu laughed, "It's not in vain that Benhou has endured for many years, and now, it's finally time to be ashamed." ”

It turned out that after Yiqu was annexed by the Qin State, most of the Yiqu people did not want to be the people who died in the country, so they followed the descendants of the King of Yiqu to migrate to the west, but the land of green mountains and rivers had already been occupied, and finally, as a last resort, the remains of Yiqu chose a piece of Gobi and stayed.

In a flash, decades have passed, and the remnants of Yiqu, whose living environment is becoming increasingly difficult, are always thinking about the great cause of restoring the country and the revenge plan to take revenge on the Qin State.

The current King of Yiqu, named Yu Tu, grew up in that Gobi since he was a child, and while he is full of infinite yearning for his homeland, the seeds of hatred are also buried deep in his heart.

After Yu Tu ascended the throne, he led his clansmen to use the only resources they had to restore their combat strength as much as possible, and at the same time, they also continued to show favor to the surrounding tribes in order to win more space for development.

Later, according to the strategy of one of the clansmen, Yu Tu sent one of his sons, Chang Yu, into the territory of Great Qin, and ordered him to do everything possible to enrich his strength, disrupt the internal affairs of Qin, and instigate the internal strife of Great Qin.

After that, the remnants of Yiqu will have an opportunity, the light ones will return to the country, and the heavy ones will steal the country.

Yu Tu took out the family funds he had accumulated over the years, handed over half of them to Chang Yu, and told Chang Yu not to reveal his identity, let alone tell where the remains of Yiqu were.

Chang Yu came to Xianyang with the money, and after a round, he entered Lü Buwei's mansion, and later, he was sent to the palace by mistake and accompanied by the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji.

Chang Yu himself didn't expect that his luck was so good, and in just over ten years, he had reached the status of being equal to Lu Buwei.

But Chang Yu doesn't read much after all, which is probably why he is always quite public.

The previous letter, Chang Yu wrote to his father, who is also the current King of Yiqu, Yu Tu.

In the letter, Chang Yu analyzed the current situation, believing that the most favorable opportunity for the relics of Yiqu had come, and if he missed this opportunity, he was afraid that he would regret it.

After Yu Tu received Chang Yu's message, he also thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after all, his grade had passed the sixtieth birthday, and there was less and less time left.

Therefore, Yu Tu gathered the leaders of all the tribes together to discuss the restoration plan of Yiqu.

Chang Yu stopped laughing, looked at Tuoba Hai, and asked, "Tell me quickly, what is the result of their final discussion?" ”

"After discussion, the patriarchs unanimously decided to immediately rectify the men and horses, and cooperate with the Hou Ye to raid the northwest border of Great Qin on the day of King Qin's blessing of the crown ceremony, and they are currently actively contacting the nearby Di clan to fight together in order to settle the battle." Tuoba Hai's speech sped up a lot.

"Although there are occasional frictions between the Di tribe and Yiqu, the attitude towards Daqin has always been consistent, especially in recent years, I heard that there is a young master called a fistula on the side of Qiang Di, who is brave and resourceful." mentioned that the Yiqu relics department found a lot of helpers, and Chang Yu was even more confident.

"Yes, I heard that this time the Qiang will also bring his people to battle." Tuoba Hai said, "After all, the Di people in the north have also been subject to Great Qin for a long time, and after the fall of Yiqu, they are also silent. ”

"Hmph, their lips are cold, they won't fail to understand this truth." Chang Yu said coldly.

"Master Hou, since there is no problem over there, shouldn't we also formulate the following strategies?" Liu Yuan, who had not answered, asked.

"Ben Hou has been thinking about this question for a long time." Chang Yu said in a deep voice, "Since Yingzheng is going to come to Yongcheng to perform the crown ceremony, I'm afraid that the queen mother's hole card will not be able to be kept, if the queen mother is taken away in advance, we must not be able to delay the moment when the father arrives." ”

Liu Yuan's eyes rolled a few times, and he said sharply: "If the queen mother's hole card can't be kept, then doesn't King Qin have other close relatives, I heard that Ying Zheng just got a second prince, and now, his five wives and two princes are all in Xianyang Palace." ”

"Yes." Tuoba Hai added, "I heard that there are two grandmothers. ”

"Hehe, then since this is the case, don't blame Benhou for being ruthless." Chang Yu said coldly, "Is there anyone in the world who knows Xianyang Palace better than Ben Hou." ”

yes, don't forget, what he used to do.
