In the midst of the hustle and bustle, another month has passed.

The weather is getting warmer, and there are already signs of spring.

Jing Jiaban finally completed the task ahead of schedule and delivered the remaining 1,000 flying crossbows to the Western Chu army.

And for the "our army" in Mongolia, a total of 1,200 crossbows and 700 "my weapons" were given.

In the big tent of the Chinese army of the Western Chu Army, Changping Jun counted the number of flying crossbows, and his grinning mouth never closed.

Ying Zheng looked at Changpingjun's unproductive appearance, and smiled secretly in his heart, but his mouth was quite mean: "Now, the promise of the widow has been fulfilled, I don't know if Changpingjun can also fulfill something." ”

Changping-kun's face stiffened.

"The king's kindness, presumably only on the battlefield can the Western Chu army repay it." Chang Pingjun said.

"Really?" Ying Zhenghu asked suspiciously.

"Honestly, of course." Changping Jun said with a little trepidation, "It is the duty of the soldiers to go into battle to kill the enemy for the king, even if there is no reward from the king, the soldiers will fight bloodily." ”

"For you, of course the widow can be trusted, otherwise he would not have asked you to establish this Western Chu army." Ying Zheng paused and said, "But I don't know if this soldier of the Western Chu Army thinks the same as you." ”

Changping Jun exhaled lightly, calmed his mind for a while, and said: "At the beginning, Weichen was ordered by the king to go to Yingcheng to recruit mountain bandits, and he was extremely worried at first, and he always felt that these people in the mountains and forests would not be well controlled, even if they joined the army, they would definitely cause trouble often. But unexpectedly, these people are very disciplined, perhaps because their parents were sergeants. ”

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

"Actually, the widows don't care about where they come from, but what they think now." Ying Zheng looked directly at Changping Jun, and his firm eyes made people unable to do so even if they wanted to lie.

"Your Majesty." Changping Jun arched his hand and said, "Let's put it this way, if the two countries of Qin and Chu go to war, the sergeants of the Western Chu army, facing the sergeants of the Chu State, can not make a move, no one can say, but if other countries attack, the Western Chu army will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy, there is no doubt about it." ”

"Hahaha......" Ying Zheng laughed, "the widow is waiting, it is your truth, since this is the case, then the task of defending the palace is left to you." ”

"Defend the palace?" Changping-kun thought he had misheard.

Defending the palace is the business of the Praetorian Guard, and other armies can't get involved if they want to.

Besides, who has the audacity to attack the palace!?

Ying Zheng knew that the time had come, so he picked out the important things about Chang Yu and told Changping Jun to listen.

"What a guts!" Changping Jun said angrily, "I don't dare to touch it in the open, but I am secretly recruiting troops and conspiring to make trouble." ”

"Therefore, there is no way for the widow to take people to protect the Queen Mother." Ying Zheng sighed lightly and said, "Although the queen mother was blinded, after all, she is the queen mother of the widow and the dear relatives of the widow. ”

"In that case, your majesty, you can rest assured that you can go to Yongcheng." Changping Jun said righteously, "Xianyang handed it over to Weichen, and told him that he would never come back." ”

"Good!" Ying Zheng said freely, "For the sake of safety, the widow plans to transfer everyone in the palace to Jingyao, where a part of the Mengjia army will be left, and the surrounding areas outside the city will also be ambushed by Wang Qian, Yingcheng and others, the only vacancy is in this city, even if you want to catch turtles in the urn, you must have people to catch turtles." ”

"Hahaha......" Changping Jun laughed, "The king entrusts such an important matter to Wechen, which is a great trust in Wechen, and in the face of such a feat, Wechen can only take it seriously." ”

"Okay, then we'll settle our minds." Ying Zheng said.

"It's a deal!" Changpingjun said with great confidence.

"That high-five is an oath." Ying Zheng stretched out a palm.

Changping-jun also stretched out a palm without hesitation.

Syllable......

The two palms struck together, but the thoughts of both sides were different.

Leaving the garrison of the Western Chu army, Ying Zheng rode back to Gucheng Palace.

When he arrived at the city gate, he saw Zhao Gaohuo walking towards the city gate in a hurry.

There is no need to ask, Zhao Gao must have come to find him, and it must be something important.

After the two met at the city gate, Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yingcheng is back and is waiting in the study, saying that he has something important to tell the king." ”

"Haha, it's good to come back!" Ying Zheng was overjoyed, "Go, go back to the palace." ”

When I returned to the study, I saw Yingcheng chatting with Li Si in a low voice.

Yingcheng's face was grim, and Li Si frowned thickly.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel nervous: "Something's wrong." ”

"Your Majesty." The two men stood up and saluted.

"Seeing that you are all sad, did you bring back some bad news?" Ying Zheng asked.

"The news that Yingcheng brought back is indeed good and bad, so let him pick the important ones first." Li Si poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Yingcheng, and at the same time gave him a look, "Don't worry, I'm tired of bumpy and tired all the way, take a sip of tea." ”

Ying Cheng comprehended, took advantage of the effort to drink this cup of tea, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "When Weichen arrived in Yongcheng, he secretly inquired about a few things explained by the king to the old clans, although the old clans also provided some information, but it was all hearsay. ”

"So, the old clan came up with an idea to let Wei Chen find a way to get close and control the master beside Chang Yu."

Then, Wei Chen used some special means, and finally found out everything he knew from the mouth of the master Liu Yuan.

Ying Zheng didn't care what kind of means Ying Cheng used, but asked directly: "What did you hear?" ”

Ying Cheng cleared his throat and said: "Speaking of which, the king may not have thought that it is true that Chang Yu is a native of Yiqu, but his real identity is actually the young master of the Yiqu remnant clan, and the son of Yu Tu, who now calls himself the king of Yiqu. ”

"The Yiqu Remnant?" Ying Zheng asked suspiciously.

"yes, yes." Ying Cheng nodded and said, "After Yiqu was merged into Daqin, some Yiqu people were unwilling to submit to Daqin, so they left their hometowns and migrated to the northwest, settling down on a deserted Gobi, still living a life of hunting and herding. However, because of the environment, the scope of activities is quite large. ”

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "In this way, this part of the Yiqu remnants will inevitably be in an extremely harsh living environment, and they will always be thinking about their original land?" ”

"That's right, the longing for the homeland and the hatred for Daqin are the pain that has been engraved in the bones of the remnants of the Yiqu for generations." Yingcheng said.

Ying Zheng seemed to think of something, took a breath of cool air, and then said: "You said that Chang Yu is the son of their old patriarch, is this the layout carefully planned by their old patriarch?" ”

"Exactly." Yingcheng nodded and said, "According to Liu Yuan, back then, the old patriarch Yu Tu almost did everything he had to send Chang Yu to Xianyang, in order to let Chang Yu attach himself to the powerful, so that one day, he would have his own forces. ”

"What a calculation." Ying Zheng sighed lightly, "After that, that Chang Yu not only caught up with Lu Buwei, but also entered the palace through Lu Buwei, and then confused the Queen Mother." ”

Ying Zheng generally knows the things that follow, and even if he doesn't know, he has guessed everything.

Li Si said on the side: "So, let's take advantage of Chang Yu's unstable foundation to force him to make trouble, this decision is right." Just imagine that Yu Tu, the patriarch of the bereaved tribe, has been planning for this matter for half his life, how can he not reap the fruits in his lifetime, I am afraid that if he lets Chang Yu go for a few more years, the situation at that time will be really difficult to predict. ”

"That's right, since Chang Yu will be opposed, then we must do it sooner, except for this scourge." win

Zheng said angrily, "But fortunately, we found out in time, thanks to Mr. Qian's previous reminder." ”

"Hehe, Weichen was also guessing at the time, and it wasn't until later, when I heard him say that he was from Yiqu, that he became even more suspicious." Lees said.

Ying Zheng nodded, then looked at Ying Cheng and said, "Didn't you say that there are good and bad things in this news, now that Chang Yu's identity is confirmed, this is a good thing, but what about the bad thing?" ”

Yingcheng's face was slightly gloomy, and he arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, the bad news is that Yu Tu, the patriarch of the remnant tribe, united the surrounding Rongdi tribes, trying to take advantage of the king's blessing of the crown ceremony, and the opportunity to disagree with Lu Xiang, and Chang Yuli should join forces with the outside to attack the city fortress of Daqin in an attempt to restore the country." ”

"Humph!" Ying Zheng said coldly, "Let's just wait for work, clean up the grievances left over, and just take a look at Xirong Beidi, which are the enemies of Great Qin, and let them have no return." ”

"Not to the king." Li Si dissuaded.

Ying Zheng looked at Li Si puzzled: "Why?" ”

Li Si explained: "The king's self-crowning ceremony this time is no different from the new king's accession to the throne, and the Zhurongdi tribe in the northwest wants to take advantage of the fact that the king's foundation is not stable, and its original intention is not to sincerely help Yiqu restore the country." But if the king kills all the tribes he invades, it is very likely that all the Rongdi tribes will be angered, and at that time, there will be no peace on the northern border. ”

"That's like treating Yiqu back then, engulfing those tribes." Ying Zheng said righteously.

Li Si shook his head and said, "The land of Yiqu, in essence, is different from the land of Rongdi, the reason is that the land of Yiqu is suitable for farming, while the other lands of Rongdi are only suitable for herding livestock. For thousands of years, the Central Plains suffered from the Hu people in the north because the Hu people had no fixed residence, so they could only be driven away, not destroyed. ”

"What does that gentleman suggest?" Ying Zheng asked.

Li Si thought for a while and said: "Now the plan, Wei Chen suggested that we act in advance to force Chang Yu to act in advance, so that their internal and external strategies will lose their meaning, and for us, it is just after destroying Chang Yu, there is enough time to deal with Rong Di's offense." ”

"Okay, that's it!" Ying Zheng said happily.

"However, the king, there is one more thing here, which doesn't seem to be a good thing." This time, Li Si did not let Yingcheng speak, but he mentioned it to Yingzheng.

Looking at Yingcheng again, his expression became a little unnatural.

"Sir, please." As soon as Ying Zheng entered the door, he felt as if something was wrong with the two.

I saw Li Si say very seriously: "After the Weichen said this, the king can be angry, but he must also remain rational, let alone impulsive." ”

Ying Zheng had never seen Li Si's expression, and he couldn't help but feel a little more impatient in his heart: "Okay, the widow agrees." ”

Li Si breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "This matter is related to the name of the Queen Mother, if the king doesn't want to make a noise, then no one else will know about this matter." ”

Ying Zheng had already guessed the probability, and his heart was suddenly like a knife, although Li Si had hinted, but he still couldn't let go: "Could it be that the queen mother is really having an affair with that concubine, so she will ......"

"What Weichen wants to say is that the Queen Mother and Chang Yu are more than having an affair." Li Si's tone was as slow as possible, "And he has an heir." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it exploded in Yingzheng's ears.

"What?" Ying Zheng stood up suddenly, his face seemed to have twitched together, and his eyes were oozing blood.

Li Si and Ying Cheng didn't say a word more, just looked at Ying Zheng with reassuring eyes.

Boom!

It seemed that he was about to be slammed on the table by Ying Zheng's bloody fist.

"Chang Yu!!" The angry Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "If the widow doesn't break your body into ten thousand pieces, it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart!" ”
