After the dinner, Ying Zheng did not go directly to the harem, but took Zhao Gao back to the study.

Li Si was still here, and there was an extra square box on the table.

Ying Zheng pulled Zhao Gao to sit down at the table and said, "Zhao Gao, the widow knows that you are extremely loyal, do you want to complete whatever task the widow gives you?" ”

Zhao Gao was a little stunned by the question, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Of course, the slave will spare no effort to complete the king's order." ”

"Is it really okay to do anything?" Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Gao and asked.

"Of course!"

For a long time, Zhao Gao was a little resentful, because Ying Zheng never took him when he went out, and only let him concentrate on taking care of the harem, especially after Chang Yu's rebellion, and he always wanted to help Ying Zheng more and do something big.

"That's what you said." A sly smile hung on the corner of Ying Zheng's mouth, and then he opened the wooden box.

The box was stuffed with cotton.

After uncovering several layers of cotton, the red egg condensed from Yu's body was revealed.

Zhao Gao had never seen such a big egg, his eyes widened and asked, "Your Majesty, ...... this?" ”

Yun Zheng did not hide it, and told the whole cause and process of this Chinese New Year's Eve as it was.

After digesting it for a long time, Zhao Gaocai muttered: "No wonder, the king wants to strictly control the cause of Han Fei's death, and personally go to round up the night beast." ”

Ying Zheng said: "The widow has promised Jairus to hatch this evening egg, but the widow often goes out to run errands, and it is indeed inconvenient to carry it, and you are the only one who has lived in the palace for a long time and won the trust of the widow." ”

Zhao Gao "......"

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Zhao Gao's head, he never expected that Yingzheng gave him this kind of task, isn't this taking people as old hens.

Ying Zheng saw that he was reluctant, so he continued: "These days, Li Si and I have been taking great care of him, and taking turns to incubate him, in fact, it is quite simple, just hug him in the quilt for an hour every day. ”

The First Clan

King Qin said so, and Zhao Gao also knew that he couldn't refuse, anyway, he was just one person when he slept at night, with an egg and a companion.

"Okay." Zhao Gao said, "But for the sake of safety, the king has to send two guards to the slaves, otherwise if this egg is lost, the slaves can't afford it." ”

Seeing that Zhao Gao agreed, Ying Zheng was full of joy: "Haha, this is no problem." ”

After settling the red egg left by Xi, Yingzheng placed the Xuanyuan Sword again, and then went to Nansu's dormitory.

Fusu is older, and he is already being taken care of by the maidservant, and he sleeps next door alone.

After not seeing King Qin for a long time, Nansu played a few tunes to Yingzheng to relax his mind.

Listening to the soft tone, Ying Zheng unconsciously reached out and grabbed Nansu's leaf, the light went off, and the light disappeared.

The long-arid earth has finally been nourished by nectar.

Early the next morning, Ying Zheng handled a lot of state affairs in the court.

The envoy of the Dawan Kingdom came with the envoy of the end of the country, and the main discussion was the transaction of sweat and blood horses.

According to Ying Zheng's intentions, Dawan agreed to exchange sweat and blood horses for Daqin's military rations, but asked for a certain amount of seeds to be added, and Daqin sent people to Dawan to help him learn to farm.

Ying Zheng briefly thought about it, agreed, and then ordered Sima Hong to order food and exchange it.

The ministers were slightly controversial, but when they thought of the new seeds that were being implemented, they all understood the intentions of King Qin.

The so-called old does not go, and the new does not come.

The best way to encourage people to plant new seeds is to gather up the old seeds and grain.

What's more, how good the sweaty horses that Ying Zheng rode back were, everyone has also seen it, if they can cultivate a batch of such war horses, it will undoubtedly be a combat power

Improved by a large chunk.

The messenger of Dawan withdrew, and the envoy of the exquisite came up to the temple.

This envoy Yingzheng has seen it, and he is an exquisite five elders.

It turned out that after Ying Zheng left Jingjue, the news that Jingjue Country was going to migrate to Great Qin spread within the clan, and many young men were full of curiosity about Qin State, begging the Great Elder to take the lead in coming to have a look, experience the customs here, and see if they could get used to it.

Unexpectedly, he came to Xianyang after trekking through mountains and rivers, and waited for two months to see King Qin.

Fortunately, Sima Jie settled well, and those ghost hands from Lishan also came to meet them from time to time, so it didn't seem so lonely.

Ying Zheng arranged several residences for them to live there first, and when spring came, they could follow the people to farm and graze.

The five elders thanked him and left the main hall with his will.

"Brother Wang!"

I only heard a shout outside the hall, and two young men in alien costumes walked in.

It was Thorin and Qiang.

Ying Zheng was overjoyed, stepped down from the throne, and hugged the two brothers.

After greeting each other, Thorin said directly: "Brother Wang, the two of us came a step late, and when we arrived in Xianyang, we learned that you led the army to encircle and suppress the night beast, if only I came a few days earlier, I would have followed you to hunt." ”

Ying Zheng said with a wry smile: "Brother, that's not hunting, the Seven Kingdoms worked together, and it took more than three months to catch the Night Beast, this process is not as easy as you think." ”

Qiang Yan said: "No wonder this matter is so sensational, presumably the ability of the night beast has exceeded our imagination." ”

Ying Zheng didn't want to get involved too much on this topic, so he turned to say: "No matter how vicious it is, it has been eliminated, and the widow heard that the Xiongnu began to make trouble?" ”

Thorin said, "yes, but it's not serious. Not long ago, there were some contradictions within the Xiongnu, and several tribes left the grassland and came to the border in the northwest of Longxi to grab things, but we were all repulsed. ”

"They couldn't find a bargain, so they moved west." "However, it is unknown whether the Hexi Corridor has been attacked by them. ”

This point, is also Yingzheng more worried, since the king of Xiqiang gave him half of the territory of the Hexi Corridor, there has been engaged in the construction of infrastructure, the first wave of prisoners have been sent over, which involves a lot of defenders' energy, if they encounter the Huns again, they are isolated and helpless they do not know whether to stand up or not.

The reason why Qiang and Thorin are in a hurry to see Yingzheng is also based on this.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, the three elders have already taken the men and horses to inspect." Qiang Qi relieved, "If it weren't for the corner, the Huns wouldn't have died in the net." ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that they will go all the way to the west, and it is precisely because they are cornered." ”

Qiang said: "In my opinion, there should be no problem, otherwise General Xu would have sent a letter a long time ago." ”

Ying Zheng is still a little worried: "The widows are still not at ease, how many people do they have?" ”

Thorin replied, "Add the women and the old and the young, about forty or fifty thousand." ”

Ying Zheng returned to his seat while thinking, and called loudly, "General Wang Jian obeys orders." ”

Wang Jian stepped forward and said, "The minister is here!" ”

Ying Zheng ordered: "The widow will give you 100,000 elite soldiers, go to Jiayuguan to help, if the Xiongnu take the initiative to attack the city, then all of them will be wiped out." If they're eyeing them, take the initiative and drive them out of the way! ”

"Wechen obeys." Wang Jian bowed and received the order.

Ying Zheng looked at Qiang and Thorin again, and said, "Two brothers, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

Thorin said, "I and the Yiqu tribe are now both subjects of Brother Wang, and Brother Wang's order is it. ”

"Good!" Ying Zheng said

Said, "The widow also gave you 100,000 elite soldiers, marched to the northeast, and declared to Zhao that they would borrow land to attack the Xiongnu!" ”

"This ......," Solin was a little embarrassed, "I'm just afraid that Zhao Guo won't want to." ”

Indeed, most of the sieges by borrowing land are an excuse for sneak attacks, and many people have suffered this loss before.

Ying Zheng snorted lightly and said, "What you want is that he refuses, as long as he refuses, he will fight all the way." ”

Wei Yu took a step forward and said: "The king's move will not be a war against the Zhao State, but the king has obviously signed an alliance with the Zhao State before, this is probably ......"

"Huh." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "It is precisely because of the conclusion of the covenant that he still refuses to let us borrow the land, it is not that Zhao Guo broke the covenant first, and the widow will beat him for the crime of betraying the covenant." ”

It's a bit reluctant, but it's also in the past.

Ying Zheng continued to say to Sorin: "If there is a war, don't fall in love with war, just sneak attack two or three cities, if Zhao asks for peace, then the condition is that they will go to the trouble of the Xiongnu instead of us." ”

Only then did everyone understand what King Qin meant, it turned out that he was just pretending, and the actual purpose was to use the hand of Zhao to encircle and suppress the Xiongnu.

What a borrowed knife to kill.

Wei Yu still said with some concern: "Then what if Zhao Guo refuses to attack the Xiongnu, but fights with us?" ”

Ying Zheng said: "This situation is not impossible to happen, in that case, don't blame the widow for taking Zhao Guo first, and calculate it with his new and old accounts." ”

Thorin said, "Since Brother Wang has decided, Thorin takes the order. ”

Ying Zheng, who originally planned to recuperate within ten years, suddenly decided to take the risk of tearing his face with Zhao to attack the Xiongnu, but in fact, it was not a hot head and a whim.

From the perspective of the Huns' physique alone, if you only defend and do not attack, he will become even more intense, and he may attack you somewhere, and run away after robbing and killing.

If that's the case, how can you recuperate?

The best way is either to beat him out of his fear, drive him far away, and dare not come again, or simply devise a plan to completely wipe him out, even if it is one of the tribes.

And Zhao Guo is actually a disguise.

In the past, Ying Zheng urgently needed black fire oil when he was smelting alloys, so he had to form an alliance with Zhao State, and now he can't hand over the "I weapon" that Zhao Guo demanded, so it can be said that conflict is inevitable.

For hundreds of years, the two countries have been at war and there has never been a real peace.

King Zhao actually knows this.

What's more, the Qin State's crusade against the Xiongnu this time was not unknown, and at the same time, the Zhao State did also hate the Xiongnu.

Ying Zheng's gamble is Zhao Guo's choice. Because in anyone's opinion, neither side will be on the side of the Huns.

Although Thorin received the king's order, he didn't know anything in his heart, so he said: "Brother Wang, it's okay for me to lead the troops, but if I lose, don't blame me." ”

Ying Zheng said angrily: "Look at your courage, where is the strength that attacked my Great Qin in the first place?" ”

Thorin stuck out his tongue and was speechless to refute.

Qiang Qi took over the conversation and said: "Brother Wang, you let the two of us lead the army, but I am afraid that the soldiers will also be dissatisfied, it is better to send a commander, and the two of us will be the vanguard." ”

"That's right." Ying Zheng said, "I have to ask you to make some military exploits first, and then you can provoke the beam." ”

Ying Zheng looked at the ministers in the main hall, and his gaze was fixed on a tall figure.

"Yang Duanhe." Ying Zheng said, "With you as the coach, how about going to Zhao to do activities?" ”

This person, named Yang Duanhe, is a very strategic general.

"Thanks to the king's love, Yang Duanhe received the order!" Yang Duanhe knelt down to receive the decree.
