Bai Zhong came to Zhangtai Palace, only to see Ying Zheng's face gloomy.

The other ministers who rushed over, all panicked, especially Li Si, Wang Xuan, and Feng Quji, who united to oppose Bai Zhong's expedition, lowered their heads nervously at this moment, worried.

In terms of military generals, Wang Ben had already arrived, and he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so he also stood quietly aside.

Bai Zhong didn't speak first, stood beside Wang Ben and waited for a while, and saw Meng Wu and other generals walking into Zhangtai Palace together, and all the people who should come came.

"Wang Juan, you came to tell me, why did you lose the battle?"

Ying Zheng's voice was cold.

Even if he was defeated, he was still so badly defeated that even the main general died in Baiyue.

Recommend Tu Sui to attack Baiyue and prevent Bai Zhong from making any more meritorious contributions, this is what they mean, now that the war is defeated, the first thing Yingzheng wants to find is Wang Juan and others.

Wang Juan was shocked, bowed down and said, "Maybe...... It may be that there is a lot of miasma in the Baiyue region, and our Daqin soldiers are not adaptable, and they are defeated because they are not adapted to the water and soil. ”

Ying Zheng said angrily: "Is this the reason you thought of perfunctory? ”

Wang Juan said in a trembling voice: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

Even if it was really perfunctory, he didn't dare to admit it indiscriminately, otherwise he would die.

"Feng Quji, what do you think?"

Ying Zheng asked coldly.

Feng Qujian stiffened his head and said: "The minister is not clear, the battlefield is changing rapidly, Baiyue is so far away from Xianyang, the minister is ......"

"Enough!"

Ying Zheng shouted loudly and stood up directly, the angry look on his face frightened Zhao Gao beside him and took two steps back.

The 500,000-strong army went on the expedition, except for leaving 100,000 people to defend Minyue and other places, only more than 50,000 people fled to Qianzhong and were defeated.

In the last battle of Great Qin, he was defeated so badly when Li Xin destroyed Chu.

But Li Xin's defeat was not as miserable as Tu Sui, and even the boss died!

It was difficult for Ying Zheng not to be angry, and said: "At that time, you strongly recommended Tu Sui to fight, and I trusted you before agreeing, how do you explain it to me?" ”

The civil officials led by Wang Juan fell silent in an instant, regretting it.

I already knew about the war, and I was not good at it, so I didn't want to step in sideways, and let Bai Zhong fight was enough.

Seeing them like this, Ying Zheng's anger could not be vented.

He should have adopted Bai Zhong's strategy, and maybe he had completely taken down Baiyue.

"Get out of here!"

Ying Zheng said angrily again.

Wang Juan and the others were shocked, and they were driven away at this time, doesn't it mean that His Majesty no longer trusts their batch of civil officials.

The consequences of not being trusted are very serious, but seeing that His Majesty is angry on their heads, they don't dare to say anything, so they have no choice but to retreat first, but in their hearts, they are jealous of Bai Zhong.

"The generals are going to gain power!"

Walking outside, Wang Juan said with emotion.

Li Si frowned and said, "From the beginning, we did it wrong!" ”

After all, his son Li You is also a military general, and he has made a lot of credit under Bai Zhong, and now he has come to his senses and thinks that he will treat Bai Zhong after all.

Inside the main hall.

"Tongwu Hou, what do you think?"

Ying Zheng said again.

Wang Ben and Meng Wu were definitely on Bai Zhong's side, and they didn't have much desire to fight, so they said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wu Anjun will definitely be able to win Baiyue if he fights." ”

Meng Wu agreed: "Wu Anjun is like a god with soldiers, invincible, if he can fight, Baiyue's resistance is not to be feared." ”

At the same time, they were thinking that the credit for pacifying Baiyue was still given to Bai Zhong.

Baiyue's troops are not many, Tu Sui was defeated, there are various reasons, but if any of them are any of them, with an army of 500,000 to the south, it is impossible to be defeated, and they will definitely be victorious, and there is still confidence.

"Wu Anjun's previous plan, although it was a little bold, as long as 40,000 people dared to fight with the Baiyue tribes, but after digging through Xiangshui and Lishui, the minister thought that the odds of victory were higher than those of 500,000 troops."

Meng Wu said again.

Ying Zheng asked: "Wu Anjun still insists on his previous idea, he only needs 100,000 people, of which 60,000 are still prisoners, sons-in-law, etc., and people who don't need to fight?" ”

Bai Zhong nodded and said, "Exactly, but the canal must be dug." ”

"I'll think about it again."

The anger on Ying Zheng's face subsided a lot, and he said, "I don't want to, let Wu Anjun take risks." ”

Especially thinking that Tu Sui died in Baiyue, he was more worried about Bai Zhong.

Bai Zhong said: "For the minister, there is no danger in going out to Baiyue. ”

"Okay, you guys stand down first, I'm a little upset now, and then think about it."

Ying Zheng waved his hand.

Tu Sui was defeated and died, the Qin army was annihilated, and those civilian officials couldn't even give themselves a reason for defeat, and they didn't know who to let fight in the next battle, he was really upset.

Walk outside the palace.

"I'm grateful that the two generals recommended me to fight, but you also have to think about yourself."

Bai Zhong said: "The three of us, no matter who leads the army to the south, it will be easy to take Baiyue, this is a battle to open up the territory, how can you give it to me casually." ”

Attacking Baiyue, there is not much pressure on them, but they will die in battle because of their lack of ability to slaughter Sui.

However, the generals who will attack Baiyue next are not them, but Zhao Tuo and Ren Huan.

Ren Huan is Bai Zhong's general, where Zhao Tuo is, what he looks like, he doesn't know, he hasn't seen this person.

Meng Wu smiled: "I'm old, and I'm not suitable for long-distance travel. ”

Wang Ben said: "I feel that I am not suitable, only Wu Anjun can do it, I think Your Majesty will definitely let Wu Anjun fight." ”

"Possibly!"

Bai Zhong said.

The content of their chat was only related to the battle against Baiyue, and did not involve those civilian officials.

However, on the civilian side, it seems that the military generals are regarded as competitors, especially for Bai Zhong, no matter what, Bai Zhong must not be allowed to make meritorious contributions again, otherwise they will steal their status as civil officials.

Bai Zhong didn't care about this, said goodbye to Meng Wu and Wang Ben, and went home directly.

"Commander, Xu Cheng left Hanoi suddenly, and we wanted to continue to follow and monitor, but we suddenly lost our sight and never found it again."

At this time, the people from the Black Ice Platform came to look for him and told Bai Zhong the shocking news.

"Are you sure?"

Bai Zhong asked.

The man from the Black Ice Platform nodded affirmatively.

Bai Zhong asked again, "How did they disappear?" ”

The person from Hei Bingtai said: "Our people, watching Xu Cheng and his father leave Hanoi and stay in a reverse journey, but the night passed, and the next day in the afternoon, no one appeared, so they went in to look for it, and found that the person was long away from the reverse journey, and did not know where they went. ”

From this point of view, Bai Zhong's feeling is correct.

Xu Cheng that little girl, there is really a problem, it is not as simple as it appears.

"No clue at all?"

Bai Zhong asked again.

"Nope."

The man from the Black Ice Platform shook his head.

Xu Zhi disappeared like evaporation from the world, and even if they wanted to find it, they didn't know where to look for it.

After being silent for a while, Bai Zhong shook his head and said, "Forget it, let the person who is staring at Xu Cheng come back!" ”
