Chapter 168: The eldest husband was born in troubled times
"South Korea is going to join the Alliance? It's interesting. Lu Buwei looked at the information sent by Yang Ming, and there was no nervousness in his expression, although he was dignified, but Yang Ming was still excited when he saw it.
Yes, Lü Buwei is excited, the five countries jointly attack Qin, although it is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity, especially for a strongman like Lü Buwei.
In the face of the menacing Five-Nation Alliance, even the Qin State can only withstand it by mobilizing the whole country, and this is an excellent opportunity for Lü Buwei, an opportunity to expand his influence in the Qin army, and an opportunity to extend the power of the Xiangguo Mansion in all aspects of the Qin State.
Seven years ago, although there was also a war in which Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Yan jointly attacked Qin, but in that war, the king of Qin was still there, and the king of Qin was the real commander in that war.
But this time it will be different, Qin Wangzheng is still young, it is impossible to come forward in person, and Meng Fu is old, it is difficult to command this big battle, as for the rest of the generals in the Qin army, the military merits, qualifications, and popularity have not yet been able to command the whole army for the time being, and the commander of the Qin army this time is none other than Lu Buwei.
At that time, if he can achieve a great victory, with the exploits and great prestige achieved in this great battle, then the power of his Lü Buwei will penetrate deep into the Qin army, and with the power of the support bonus in the army, the power of the Xiangguo Mansion will be even higher and become unshakable.
Therefore, after getting the information from South Korea, what Lu Buwei felt after his solemnity was excitement, but such an old fox naturally hid his excitement well, at least in his own opinion.
"Yang Ming, the big war is coming, are you interested in leading a team of soldiers and horses to participate in this war?" Lu Buwei put away the information that had been translated and looked at Yang Mingdao.
Although considering the reason why South Korea is closest to Xianyang in terms of geographical location, Yang Ming was able to manage South Korea in an orderly manner in just a few months after taking over South Korea, and was able to obtain information from all countries at such a fast speed, and Lu Buwei still admired Yang Ming's ability in intelligence.
Especially because of Lu Qi's whimsical actions at that time, Luo Wang's investigation of Yang Ming started earlier, and he got more information, from Hengshan to Yanmen, to Daliang and now Xianyang, Yang Ming's various performances, Lu Buwei saw it more clearly.
Especially Yang Ming now has the support of Zhao Ji, coupled with Yang Ming's ability and the connections behind him that can be cashed in under certain conditions, Lu Buwei has too many reasons to win over Yang Ming.
After all, for a promising young man like Yang Ming who can be wooed, the value of wooing is too great, and Lu Buwei, who was born as a businessman, understands the value of Yang Ming and the rewards he can get.
"The humble position is now the captain of the Ganquan Palace, and guarding the queen mother is the duty of the humble position." Faced with the bait thrown by Lu Buwei, Yang Ming directly refused.
Faced with Yang Ming's reasoning, Lu Buwei really didn't know what to say, so he could only smile and say: "The Queen Mother has loyal ministers like Yang Ming by her side, and you can come without worry, but, Yang Ming, don't forget that you are still the commander of the Korean Department of Weiwei's Mansion and Luowang." ”
"Isn't it because of the commander of the Korean Department of the Nets that he appeared in front of Lord Sangkook?" Yang Ming replied.
He could feel that Lu Buwei was showing favor to him, but unfortunately, Yang Ming had already boarded Zhao Ji's ship, and it was impossible to get off the boat again.
"That's a good point." Lu Buwei said, after all, he is a dignified Xiangguo, and showing favor to a young man is already his friendship, as for the rest, it is better to forget it.
It's just that this little fox is really cunning, and what he says is so leaky. Lü Buwei secretly said that he was surprised.
While Yang Ming's words rejected him, they made him not feel angry at all, after all, because of the net, Yang Ming was already working for Xiangguo Mansion, what else could Lu Buwei say?
He used the opportunity to lead the troops to lure Yang Ming, didn't he just want Yang Ming to work for the Xiangguo Mansion?
Soon after receiving information from Korea, information from Wei, Zhao, and Chu also appeared on the case of Xiangguofu.
When all the information was gathered together, it was clear to the Qin monarchs and ministers that the five kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Wei were about to form a joint alliance, intending to attack Qin again as they had done seven years ago.
Luowang's intelligence system is very developed, and it can even collect the list of commanders of various countries.
For a time, the names of Pang Xuan, Chun Shenjun, Xiang Liang, Ji Wuye, Zhu Hai and others appeared in the field of vision of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State.
After all, since the rise of Qin, such wars have occurred many times, and the Qin State has already summed up rich experience in responding to battles in victories again and again.
This time, the joint attack on Qin by all countries is not necessarily more fierce than the previous ones, but the current Qin State is also facing a situation that it has not encountered before.
In the past, the Qin State faced the great battle of the joint attack on Qin by various countries, often facing the Hangu Pass, and using the danger to wear down the morale of the coalition army, until the morale of the coalition army was exhausted, and then the heavy army attacked, but at present, the territory of the Qin State has already surpassed the Hangu Pass, outside the Hangu Pass, the Qin State has Taiyuan County, Hedong County, Yingchuan County, Shangdang County, Hanoi County, Dong County, Nanjun and other counties, the population and land of these places add up to even exceed the population and land of Qin in Guanzhong, and Qin also has to defend these places.
This further complicated the war situation faced by the Qin State.
All of a sudden, the huge war machine of the Qin State was activated again, and the grain from Shu County and Hanzhong began to be mobilized to Xianyang, and countless people walked out of their respective homes and began to form a group of Qin troops to gather towards Xianyang in the counties and townships, and at the same time, the counties outside the Qin State were also mobilized one after another.
At the same time, Qin sent envoys to Qi and sent a team to Yan in Qi, diplomacy is also a continuation of the war, and in the upcoming war, Qin must ensure that Qi and Yan stay out of the matter as much as possible.
Although the State of Qi was hit hard decades ago, the foundation of the great power is still there, although the State of Qi has been closed to itself for so many years, and has never asked about the affairs of the Six Kingdoms, but it cannot but guard against the possibility of the State of Qi joining the United Vertical Alliance.
As for the Yan State, although the military strength is not worth mentioning, in the upcoming war, even the strength of a small army must be taken into account, and the last snowflake that collapses the house is crucial.
Yan State, although it did not have the strength to overwhelm the main hall of Qin State, but when the last snowflake was still able to do it, therefore, Qin State also needed to keep Yan State out of the matter through diplomatic efforts.
And Yang Ming's study of the art of war with Meng Fu was also temporarily shelved, and Meng Fu, who had already decided to dismount his armor and return to the field, had to enter the court again as a general to assist Xiangguo Lü Buwei to convene the generals of the Qin State to discuss the arrangement of troops and the defense of various places.
At this time, the allied forces of Chu, Zhao, and Wei had also gathered in the territory of Wei and began to advance in the direction of Korea, and would converge 50,000 Han troops in Xinzheng to enter the territory of Qin, pass through Sanchuan County of Qin, and go straight to Hangu Pass.
At the same time, tens of thousands of Zhao divisions crossed the Taihang Mountains to attack Taiyuan County of Qin, Wei divisions attacked Qindong County and Hanoi County, Chu divisions attacked Qinnan County, and Korean divisions attacked Shangdang County of Qin.
Since the successive wars of the joint attacks of the various countries against Qin, the largest war is about to break out, if the war starts, the battlefield will stretch thousands of miles from east to west, across the big rivers and the Yangtze River from north to south, in this era of information transmission is not so developed, it can be said that it is the largest war that can be waged.
Qin-Han border, Gong County, was built on the top of the mountain by the sergeant, the military flags of the five countries were waved against the mountain wind, there was a billowing wolf smoke burning in the big ding, Chu Guochun Shenjun, Wei Guo Zhu Hai, Zhao Guo Pang Xuan, Han Ji Wuye, Wei Guo Gongsun Yu stood on the high platform, with his back to the army, facing the Luoshui of Haohao Tangtang all the way to the east, pointing to the water as an alliance, not destroying the Qin State, and vowing not to retreat.
In this regard, the Qin State transferred back 50,000 Pingyang Heavy Armor Army from Taiyuan County, and sent 200,000 troops from Guanzhong to support the counties outside the Guan, so that the Qin State of the counties outside the Guanguan of the Qin State reached the scale of 400,000, and at the same time gathered 200,000 heavy troops at Hangu Pass to fight against the main force of the coalition army that was coming, and the general Huan Qi led 100,000 Qin troops to garrison Huashan, so as to have a reserve army to deal with the first-line battlefield at Hangu Pass, as well as possible unexpected situations.
In this war, the Qin State can be said to be the real elite, not to mention the mobilization of more than 700,000 soldiers and horses, just in terms of generals, from the general Meng Fu, to the commander of the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army, Wang Qi, and then to Huan Qi, the most powerful general who succeeded Meng Wei to become the next general of the Qin State, and then to many counties such as Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe, Li Yao, and other people who command the army of large counties.
At the same time, a name that was not very famous in the Qin army before appeared in everyone's field of vision: Wang Qian.
When the time came to the end of February of the reign of King Qin, the main force of the coalition army had penetrated deep into the boundary of Yingchuan County of Qin State, crossed Luoyi City, and went straight to the important town of Yiyang.
At this time, Lü Buwei had also left the Xianyang Xiangguo Mansion and went to the Lantian camp of the Qin army, and would lead 150,000 elites to Hangu Pass.
Meng Tian, the third-generation core disciple of the Meng family, is eighteen years old and is about to go to the battlefield as a pawn.
In the small courtyard of the Meng family, which belonged to Meng Tian, Meng Tian was wearing the standard armor of the Qin army, and he was raising his wine glass with great ambition, and said to Yang Ming: "It's a pity, this time I still can't fight side by side with you, it's really a pity." ”
"If you can trust me, stay in Xianyang."
When Meng Tian was leaving, he only invited Yang Ming here, which shows the weight of Yang Ming in Meng Tian's heart, and for such a friend, Yang Ming is naturally not stingy, so he said such a sentence.
"Could it be that Ganquan Palace lacks a guard?" Meng Tian made a rare joke.
"What if I say yes?" Yang Ming, who has always liked to joke, said very seriously in the face of Meng Tian's jokes at this time.
Meng Tian also put away his banter when he heard this, as Yang Ming's best friend in Xianyang City, while Yang Ming understood Meng Tian, Meng Tian also knew Yang Ming very well, seeing Yang Ming's expression, how could Meng Tian not know Yang Ming's attitude.
"It's no joke." Meng Tian said solemnly.
"If you believe me, stay in Xianyang, and I will let you understand a word when the time comes." Yang Ming said.
The battle of Yucheng will be a huge opportunity for Yang Ming, and in the face of such an opportunity, how could Yang Ming forget his good friend and good brother Meng Tian.
"What?" Meng Tian asked.
"The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements." Yang Ming recalled.
"The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal achievements." Meng Tian thought silently, and then drank the wine in the cup, feeling a trembling feeling from the soul, isn't this sentence just said in the heart of every aspiring teenager?
"Okay, then I'll stay in Xianyang, and wait for Yang Ming to take me to make that immortal feat." Meng Tian said.
