"Report, General Yingcheng holds his position, and the Yan army can't step into Yishui."

"Report, Acting King Zhao Jia somehow withdrew for no reason, the coalition army collapsed, and my Great Qin no longer has any worries."

"Report, Wang Jian army, Mengwu army, Yang Duan and the army are encircled, and the inside and outside should be united, and the Yan army will launch a counteroffensive."

"Report, General Yingcheng took the initiative to attack, the Yan army was defeated, General Li Xin pursued at the end of the rank, and the pursuit of fifty miles still did not stop."

"Report ......."

……

One by one, the good news came, the whole Xianyang was lively, and all the Qin people knew that in the battle of Qin Yan, as long as the Great Qin won, looking at the entire Central Plains, no one could stop the Qin State from unifying the Central Plains.

Ying Zheng was also very happy, and went to the court with illness to discuss the follow-up supply with the ministers.

The battle of Qin and Yan should not have been fought so early, Yingzheng also used the topic to play and occupy a dominant position in the general righteousness, coupled with the internal contradictions of Yan State, so that the battle would determine the world.

For this battle, he had a secret discussion with Wang Jian for a long time, and only the two of them knew the military strategy. In this battle, we can only win, not lose. In the event of defeat, the Qin treasury would not be able to support the long front, and it was very likely that the Chu state, far south of the Yangtze River, would be resurrected, and the good opportunity to unify the Central Plains would be lost.

This battle was very risky, and Wang Qian, who has always been known for his stability, also used various tactics to confuse the Yan army and create opportunities for Yingcheng, who was alone in the depths. If he did it again, Wang Jian would never fight such a battle, it would be too risky.

Fortunately, Yan did not have a competent general, so he pursued and killed the main force of the Yan army all the way, took the place of Dukang, and attacked Jicheng. After a day and a night, Prince Dan was defeated and retreated, and Jicheng was captured by Qin, establishing the territory of Qin to annex half of Yan.

At this point, Wang Jian stopped the pursuit, and on a long-distance expedition, Daqin's logistics could not be replenished, so he could only send Li Xin to follow with a small army of soldiers and horses.

The good news reached Zhangtai Palace, and Ying Zheng also felt that he could not chase it anymore, and the Yan Kingdom that fought in the first war was defeated and fled, and it was impossible to recover. For the sake of today's plan, it is necessary to stabilize the territory of the Yan State and completely turn the annexed territory into the land of the Qin State. What's more, Lanling City south of the Yangtze River has not yet been taken, and if you don't capture it, it is like a mang on your back, like a sharp arrow stuck in your heart, and it is possible to attack Shouchun at any time.

Ying Zheng will not give Mi Qi that chance, let alone underestimate him. Changping Jun Qiqi, but the old man on the battlefield, may not be as proficient in political affairs as others, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, it is estimated that except for Wang Qian, none of them are his opponents.

What Wang Jian could think of, Ying Zheng also thought of. The battle has reached this point, the pace is too fast, and there are already problems in domestic logistics, so Wang Jian must be withdrawn and stationed on the Yangtze River with peace of mind. Wait until the spring of next year to capture Lanling City in one fell swoop, completely extinguishing Qi Qi's ambition to be king.

Coupled with the secret letter handed over by the negative man, if he wants to defeat Qi Qi, only Wang Jian is the only one. The local city defense troops and Xiang Jiajun of Chu State could not be used, because Qi Qi was too familiar with the tactics of these soldiers. Since Xiang Yan's death, the State of Chu has not been able to come up with a general who can be compared with Qi Qi, so let Wang Jian once again take command of the garrison, and take the entire territory of the State of Chu with a veteran against a veteran, just around the corner.

After the discussion of Zhangtai Palace, led by Yao Jia, a group of Wenchen went to Jicheng to stabilize the security of Yan Kingdom. After taking so much land in Yan Kingdom, people's hearts are still unstable, so we must preach righteousness and use the excuse that King Yan likes to move the capital privately to restrain people's hearts for Yingzheng.

The overall situation has been decided, the unification of the Central Plains is unstoppable, and the entire Central Plains looks at the Qin Palace in Xianyang. Because everyone understands that all along, the Qin Palace has not been monolithic. As the wise and resourceful people of the countries said, if you want to defeat the current Qin State, you can only collapse from the inside, and you can't fight it from the outside.

Everyone can share the same hatred for the enemy, but when there is no external enemy, there can only be internal fighting. In particular, the dark fight in it will soon rise to the surface. In the past, King Yingzheng of Qin had never asked about this, but when he was about to unify the Central Plains and soon became emperor, did he dare to let it go?

Countless eyes were staring at the Qin Palace, but on this night, a luxurious carriage drove into the Qin Palace. From the outside, it seems that there is actually a banner of the Yin and Yang family on it, which should be from Mrs. Jun's family. But many people couldn't guess who was in the carriage.

The Yin-Yang family is subordinate to Leng Yue, and the Leng Yue people are all distributed in Xianyang and Yongcheng, and the other strongholds have been abandoned. Master Zou Yan taught in the Xianyang School Palace, and the Great Si Ming served as the commander of the guards in the Qin Palace, and people don't know which high-level figures of the Yin and Yang family were outside.

The carriage drove all the way into the Qin Palace, entered the Zhong Palace, and under the leadership of Shao Si Ming, a person walked down from it and entered the central hall. Under the cover of night, the palace maid in the distance couldn't see who that person was at all, but the guards who were on duty in the bell hall all showed strange expressions.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Jia, the acting king. In the battle of Qin Yan, Zhao Jia was obviously at war with Great Qin, how could he come to the Zhong Hall in a blink of an eye. As long as you enter this door, it will be difficult to get out. Not to mention people outside the palace, even if they are people in the palace, it is difficult for anyone who enters the bell hall to get out of it.

Under the leadership of the powerful Zhongli, there are only two choices for others: one is to join the Zhong Palace, and the other is to die. With Zhao Jia's identity, it was impossible for him to join the Zhong Palace, so why did he come here? For outsiders, Zhongdian is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and it is impossible to escape here.

But Zhao Jia came, and he was secretly invited by the princess of the Yin and Yang family, and he didn't know what medicine his wife sold in the gourd. usually does not interfere in the world, since he went out of the palace gate once, Min has asked about everything, and has maximized the power and influence of Mrs. Jun, and it is not an exaggeration to bow down to everything.

Min Dai personally greeted him, guided Zhao Jia to sit down, and then sat on the throne generously, and said with a smile: "I don't know why my brother came to the Qin Palace, you men are fighting for power, you shouldn't let my sister get involved, you come like this, but I don't know how to explain it to my husband." Especially Xiao Zhong, if she knew that you were coming, she would never let you go again. ”

"The battle of Qin Yan, the trouble you have caused to Great Qin is too great. If you were still by the side of Prince Dan that day, combining the strength of the two families, I really dare not say that I could win, after all, the coalition army is strong, and the Qin army has been fighting for a long time, and the fatigue has been revealed, why did you leave temporarily that day? My husband and I thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, with my brother's character, it was impossible to make a move to retreat. ”

Zhao Jia said helplessly: "I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm most afraid of pig-like teammates." The father and son of Yan Kingdom, during the war, did not understand how to fight against foreign enemies, but they were still fighting for power and profit. Even if I participated, it would be difficult to win, and for the sake of the people of Daicheng, I had no choice but not to quit. ”

Min Dai was puzzled: "Brother retreated, Prince Dan was difficult to support alone, and he was defeated faster." Although Min Dai doesn't know how to fight, but the internal discord is a taboo for soldiers, this is still understood, why did my brother withdraw the army that day? ”

Zhao Jia sighed and said: "Please Xiaomin call your husband to come, I want to discuss with Yingzheng face to face, if he doesn't give an explanation of this matter and wants to be the emperor, I will be the first to disagree, and the previous kings of the countries will not be convinced." That's why I withdrew my troops, and there was a major change in it. And the only person who can solve this matter is Yingzheng, who has to do something for those of us. ”

Min Dai frowned secretly, what happened to Zhao Jia that made him so depressed.

In fact, Zhao Jia was not invited by Min Dai, but Zhao Jia told the secret guards of Dai Cheng, saying that as long as Mrs. Jun Min Dai invited him, he didn't mind going to Zhong Hall to meet his sister and talk about brother and sister friendship. When the news reached Mindai's ears, Mindai sent out an invitation indifferently, who knew that Zhao Jia was really here.

It's good to come, at least there is no fear for your life. After all, Min Dai is the princess of the Zhao family, and it is still okay to protect her own family. If Zhao Jia is outside, especially fighting on the battlefield, Min Dai can't protect him if he wants to. At least when he comes to his side, with the power of the Min Dynasty, he can still appoint an official position casually in the future, and he can still do it as a carefree marquis.

Chat with Zhao Jia about family life, and the people below have already gone to inform Yingzheng. When Zhao Jia entered the Zhong Palace, he couldn't hide the eyes and ears of the people in the palace at all, especially Zhong Li and Ying Ai, who had already set their eyes on the central hall, and they were all wondering if Zhao Jia had any conspiracy.

can be a king, none of them are good at stubble, all kinds of scheming and conspiracies, and the one who plays skillfully. And from the perspective of looking at the problem, ordinary people can't think of it at all, in the final analysis, Zhongli and Ying Ai can only be brave, play with their minds and tricks, and they can't play with others at all.

After a while, Yingzheng walked in with Zhongli and sat side by side with Toshiyo on the main seat.

Min Dai said with a smile: "Husband Qiqi, it's not that I took the initiative to invite my brother to come, but that my brother wants to come, and the concubine can't stop him if he wants to." ”

Ying Zheng showed a reassuring smile and said to Zhao Jiayan: "Brother Zhao Jia, since you have come to the Qin Palace, please give a reason to let you go back." As far as I know about you, you certainly won't come if I don't have a good reason to let you go back. ”

Zhao Jia nodded and replied sincerely: "That's right, you can't imprison me in Xianyang for public or private." ”

"I am incompatible with Zhao Qian, although he is not in Xianyang, but he has too many old departments here, what about those people? The officials of the same dynasty are all courtiers of the Qin State, but they still bear the brand of the Zhao State, and if they are not handled properly, it is easy to cause a situation where the tail is not broken. ”

"But I am different, I am king in the city of Dai, and those people are against it. If I'm gone, and one day there will be a rebellion in Xianyang in the future, and there will be no one to check and balance those people. At least my presence will make them cautious and not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. ”

"Gu, I heard that the infighting in the Qin Palace is about to rise to the surface, some of which you can handle, and some of which you are inconvenient to meddle in."

Ying Zheng said intriguingly: "So ......." ”

Zhao Jia said: "So you want to make me a substitute, the prince of Daicheng." ”

Ying Zheng frowned and said: "At the end of the year, you should understand my mind that the reason why the Central Plains is so chaotic is that there is no unified centralized power. In order to dominate the country, the royal families annexed each other and fought wars, making the people miserable. In my Central Plains, the original population was 90 million, how many are left over the years? There are not even 50 million people, and most of them are old, weak, women and children. ”

"How can such a population fight against foreigners? In particular, the Xiongnu Maodun will invade the Central Plains in the future, and that is our great enemy. Therefore, I can no longer adopt the feudal system, and I must establish a centralized monarchy in the Central Plains. ”

"I won't be fiefdom, let alone another king, so as not to cause a big tail."

Zhao Jia lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said: "The title is the king, and the diplomacy, military power, population registration, and financial taxes of the city are all up to you. I am still the king, but I will not exercise the power of a king, but I will be an official under you. Even my security must be protected by your secret guards, what do you think? ”

Ying Zheng was shocked, showing a puzzled expression for the first time, and said, "What medicine did you take wrong?" Willing to accept such harsh conditions, what happened? ”

Ying Zheng absolutely suspected that Zhao Jia had been stimulated by something, a person who was so competitive in the past was now worried about his own safety. With Yingzheng's understanding of Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia is not a person who is afraid of death, judging from his current appearance, he entered the palace this time and obviously came to ask for help, could it be that something happened to Daicheng?

Thinking about it so deeply, thinking about it carefully, Ying Zheng chuckled in his heart, and he couldn't calm down anymore.
