Qin's capital Xianyang, the news of the defeat came back, the whole country was in an uproar, it was understandable to lose to Zhao that day, Zhao was strong after all, otherwise how could Wu Anjun die on the battlefield, and now he is defeated to Chu State, in the eyes of the Qin people, Chu State is not vulnerable at all, and now it is defeated.

This point even if lying on the sickbed Qin Wang Yiren also did not want to believe it, the fact is still the truth after all, Meng Tian sent back the war report clearly written, originally peaceful, all the way to the army smoothly, conquered several cities in a row, did not want the Chu army to suddenly counterattack, night attack Li Xin's camp, overnight broke through the left and right camps, killed seven captains, killed 40,000 dead and wounded soldiers, the rest retreated, the other party chased closely, Meng Tian led the troops back to help, was also defeated by the crazy Chu army, had no choice but to retreat into the city to hold on.

The battle reports were passed in turn, and the expressions of the people below also changed, Qin had fought against Chu for many years, and he had never suffered such a defeat when he occupied a large area of Chu.

Lü Buwei was not in Xianyang, the courtiers suddenly lost their backbone, some people said war to show the prestige of Qin, some people kept their words, and then sent troops after the morale of Chu State weakened, and some people proposed to replace the main general, Meng Tian was Lü Buwei's person after all, and the meaning of the words was that Lü Buwei should be severely punished if he did not use people properly.

Lü Buwei has always been an outsider, when he rescued the son, King Qin Zhao died, An Guojun just did more than a year of the king and died, the alien was in the right position, grateful for Lü Buwei's kindness and rewarded, and now he is in the power to cultivate his henchmen, and the former ministers are inevitably dissatisfied.

Ying Yiren leaned there, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, it was originally the year of the fight, he didn't want his body to become weaker and weaker, and there was a mess below, and he couldn't come up with an idea, so he knocked his head with his hand, "It's all scattered, if Xiangguo returns to the city, he will come to see him immediately." ”

Everyone dispersed in turn, Lü Buwei went out of the city to inspect, and after being promoted to Xiangguo, he successively issued new decrees, and the decrees of Qin followed the laws of Shang Ying, and the Shang Yang laws were too strict, and there were too many joint crimes involved, so that everyone was in danger, and Lü Buwei revised the decrees, and it seemed that only Lü Buwei dared to do so.

Crucially, the new law is good for everyone, and that is sufficient.

Lu Buwei was not in a hurry when he got the news, he enjoyed the scenery along the way, let the war horses go at will, and the guards behind him followed from a distance, not wanting to disturb the interest of Lord Xiangguo.

The group approached the city gate, and the guard walked out quickly, "Lord Xiangguo, I can hope you back, the king has been waiting for a day." ”

"Oh, why are you so anxious to see what you are!" Lü Buwei deliberately pretends to be confused, sometimes it is not harmful to be confused, everything is too shrewd, and the people around him must be timid when they do things, Lü Buwei is already shrewd enough, many things are in his eyes, as long as he does not violate interests, he will pass with one eye and one eye closed.

"I heard that it was General Meng's defeat that was reported back to Xianyang."

"I see, thank you, General."

Lü Buwei entered the city, the guards looked respectful, the King of Qin was weak, and the affairs of the Qin State were almost handed over to Lord Xiangguo, and if he could be appreciated, he would definitely be able to rise to the top, Meng Tian, Wang Jian and others were all like this.

Lü Buwei entered the palace, the guards quickly passed, the sun set, Ying Yiren simply met in the backyard, first, it was convenient, it took effort to walk back and forth, and secondly, the two were close, and there was nothing wrong here.

Lü Buwei followed the chamberlain in, the weather was getting cooler, King Qin's residence was as warm as spring, red fire came out of the brazier, Ying Yiren leaned there, wearing a long coat on his body, his face was slightly pale, Lü Buwei glanced at it, and stepped forward quickly, "Lü Buwei is late to ask the king to punish him." ”

"That's it, it's important to get down to business, what do you think of the war situation in Chu State?" King Qin went straight to the point, which was enough to see that he was worried about the success or failure of the war.

Lü Buwei said: "Those who plot the situation are not shocked by honor and disgrace, and if they want to prosper Qin, they must destroy Chu." ”

"Honor and disgrace are not shocked, good, well said!" After Ying Yiren finished speaking, he covered his chest with his hand and coughed violently, his originally pale face became even more terrifying, and the whole person was like a fallen leaf about to wither in autumn, shaking in the wind.

Lu Buwei saw it in his eyes, "King, take care of your body." ”

Yiren sighed, "Originally, there were a lot of things to do, but unfortunately my body was useless, and I could only entrust Xiangguo with big and small matters." ”

"Lü Buwei will definitely bow down and die."

Inhuman took a deep breath and looked at him, "Some people say that you have power, but the widow doesn't believe it." ”

Lü Buwei was stunned for a moment, the power revealed in the thin body of the alien made Lü Buwei dare not face it, it is undeniable that this seemingly weak man has always been the most powerful person in the Qin State, in a word, a move can completely change a qiē, so that the hard-earned qiē instantly came to naught.

Lü Buwei knelt on the ground, "The old minister is dedicated to serving the king, and the world can learn from it." ”

Yiren's eyes slowly retracted, and inadvertently fell on Lu Buwei's temples, the years are unforgiving, the originally high-spirited man is also old, if there is no such person, how can there be the current one, not to mention that there is no credible person except this person.

"Remember your words today, and retreat."

Lü Buwei's figure stood up, sweat traces appeared on his forehead, and the momentum emanating from the Qin King Yiren's body implied murderous intent, Lü Buwei knew best, the king had just moved the killing machine, and most of them thought about their own work that day, and they should be more careful in doing things in the future.

Lu Buwei walked out of the backyard, and there was a coughing sound behind him, but he didn't see Zhao Ji, the king was sick, and according to common sense, he should be waiting by his side, and he called someone, "Why don't you see the queen?" ”

The chamberlain said: "The queen has been accompanying the prince to study and practice swords these days. ”

"Sword practice? Who is the sword giver? ”

"The Commander himself taught it."

"Chang Yu!"

Lü Buwei's eyes rolled, and he was always a little vigilant against Chang Yu, the amazing strength shown by leading the crowd to attack Zhao Kuo and his party made Lü Buwei a little afraid, especially the one-handed murderous sword that was so fast that it was difficult to prevent it, it was better to solve the war in Chu first.

Lü Buwei left the palace and went straight to the General's Mansion, Bai Qi died, there was a vacancy in the general of the Qin State, there was no shortage of brave generals in the Qin State, but compared to Bai Qi, it was different, like a piece of fat exposed in front of everyone, the two camps attacked each other, and it was precisely Meng Xiao who had just returned to Xianyang who had just returned to Xianyang who did not want to win in the end.

This is also beyond Lü Buwei's expectations, fortunately, he reacted quickly, relying on his relationship to win over Meng Tian, the young Meng Tian is also the future hope of the Meng clan, with Lü Buwei's backing, Meng Tian's prestige in the army has increased rapidly, and the task of going to Chu this time falls on Meng Tian, which is enough to see that Lü Buwei is heavy, and Meng Fu is naturally grateful.

Meng Fu had already fallen asleep, and when he got the news, he quickly came to the hall, "Lord Xiangguo, don't give a word, it's better to have a preparation in advance." ”

"It's urgent, it's a late-night bother, and I hope General Shang won't blame it."

Lu Buwei had a sad face, and Meng Wei didn't know how to see it in his eyes, and sighed: "Is Lord Xiangguo bothered by Tian'er's defeat?" ”

Lu Buwei shook his head, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and a success or failure is nothing, but it is a pity that there are constant voices of crusade against Lu among the courtiers, and some people take the opportunity to stir up relations with the general." ”

The power of the Qin State was controlled by three people, Lü Buwei, as the prime minister, had the power of auxiliary government, and Meng Fu held heavy troops, and the other was Shangqing Sima Terrier, who was old and cunning, and he had always said that he was not sick, and most of them were also old.

Meng Fu sneered, "Lord Xiangguo can rest assured, you and I are dedicated to Qin, our roots are innocent, you don't have to take those words of the market to heart, Tian'er was defeated this time, and the old man is also at fault, so I will go to the king tomorrow to ask for guilt." ”

"Where is the general Shang, the stakes have already been made clear to the king, and now what should be considered is how to deal with Xiang Yan!"

"Xiang Yan!"

Meng Wei sighed, "I also had some friendship with Xiang Yan back then, this person has a bold nature, and his ancestors have contributed to Chu, so he got a fief, and he has been living in seclusion and not asking about political affairs, and it is really puzzling that he doesn't want to lead the crowd this time." ”

"If General Shang lobbied in person, can you be sure that this person will be moved to Qin?"

Meng Wei shook his head, "If someone else might be able to, Xiang Yan would never be able to." ”

"This can only be defeated on the battlefield!"

Meng Fu got up, "The old man is willing to go out in person, and I will meet this old friend for a while." ”

Lü Buwei hurriedly said: "General Shang has worked hard and made great achievements, and the road to Chu is far away, and the conditions are even more difficult, no, no!" ”

"Is there a suitable candidate?"

"Wang Jian may be able to, but it's a pity that there is no one at the border to confront Li Mu."

Meng Fu laughed, "Li Mu's hairy boy, how about General Ben go to meet him?" ”
