Since it was decided to increase the tax, of course, it was better to collect more at once, because no one dared to guarantee how long the war would last, and it was better to collect it all at once than to wait until the money and food were insufficient.

Wang Juan and Li Si bowed to Qin Wang Zheng and said, "The order of the king." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded, and said: "The matter of levying taxes was decided first, but since this time Fa Yan will fight in two ways, how can the lord of the two roads be determined, this point has not been mentioned in the seal, I don't know how the ministers discussed?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, because the choice of the leading generals can only be decided by Qin Wangzheng, so of course it is not mentioned in the seal, and this time it is a two-way battle, of course, there need to be two main generals, and in Zhao Diyi, it is necessary to leave the people who sit in the rear to dispatch, on the one hand, to ensure the supply of grain and grass materials, and to understand the war ahead; On the other hand, when you need reinforcements to the front line, you can also lead the army to set off immediately.

There are many generals in the Qin State who can lead the army alone, in addition to the four generals present, there are also Wang Ben, Li Xin, Xin Sheng, Meng Tian and other young generations. But when Qin Wangzheng asked, everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.

Of course, the main general who will lead the army to attack Yan is easy to choose, any one is fine, and it is not difficult to choose the person who sits in the rear dispatch, only the main general who is stationed in Jingcheng and the main general who fights against the Dai army is difficult to decide, because the main general of this army is very likely to face the plateau. No one wants to choose the plateau as an opponent lightly, this is not to say that the generals of the Qin State are greedy for life and afraid of death, or afraid of the plateau, but the relationship between the war is heavy, because the way of using troops on the plateau is indeed clever, and the two armies of foot and cavalry are used by him very unexpectedly, and the impression left on the generals of the Qin State is too profound.

Qin Wangzheng saw that no one answered for a while, and he also knew the thoughts of the generals, of course, this is also reasonable, if there is a person who jumps out at this time and says that he can defeat the plateau by leading the army, Qin Wangzheng will only think that he is not ashamed, on the contrary, now the generals are not lightly answered, indicating that everyone is seriously considering, cautious, and now there is still a period of time before the army, and there is no need to determine the candidate for the main general immediately, so Qin Wangzheng said: "Okay, the candidate for the leading general, today will not be discussed for the time being, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Wang Qing gathered other generals to discuss together to see if there was a good way to deal with the plateau, the widow just didn't believe it, I have a territory of thousands of miles in Daqin, with a million armor, and there are countless generals who can conquer and fight, so I can't deal with a single plateau. ”

After listening to Qin Wangzheng's words, the other generals also felt that their faces were a little unbearable, and Wang Jian said: "Please rest assured, the king, we will definitely come up with a way to deal with the plateau." ”

Qin Wangzheng nodded and said, "Okay, you all retreat first, from today onwards, you will start preparing for the dispatch of troops." ”

After everyone retreated from the palace, Qin Wangzheng also smiled bitterly, he has succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years, and the time of pro-government has been fifteen years, and he has continuously destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, so that the territory and population of Qin have expanded by nearly half, and in terms of the scale of opening up the territory alone, it has surpassed the monarchs of Qin in previous dynasties, but only this time to send troops, Qin Wangzheng really did not have much certainty, and at this time Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but remember that he just knew that the plateau fell with the flint sky, Chi Songzi once made a prophecy: although it descends to Zhao, it will eventually benefit Qin.

Originally, Qin Wangzheng had no faith in this prophecy, but judging from the results of this Chisong divination, Qin Wangzheng once again established confidence in his prophetic ability. It's a pity that Chi Songzi's prediction of the plateau is the same as the result of this divination, although it is not difficult on the letter, but in fact it is the same as saying nothing, of course, it may not be understood until the ending appears. It's just that Qin Wangzheng can't wait for that day in his heart. Perhaps we should ask Akamatsu about the prophecy of the plateau and let him explain what the prophecy about the plateau is.

It's just that since Jing Ke's assassination of Qin ended, although Qin Wangzheng gave Chi Songzi a honorific title, he always had some surprises in his heart, so he has never seen Chi Songzi, and now of course, he can't ask Chi Songzi for an explanation.

However, Qin Wangzheng thought about it, he is not good to find Chi Songzi, you might as well think of a way from Hehua, since Hehua incarnated as a Xuanniao, her relationship with Chi Songzi seems to be a lot closer, to the point that it is like a pair of real masters and apprentices, and Hehua is his daughter, and it is easier to say anything, so first go to Guò Hehua and test Chi Songzi's attitude, it is not bad.

After figuring this out, Qin Wangzheng's mood also improved a lot, so he got up and left the main hall and went back to the harem.

After leaving the palace ―――――――― the dividing line ――――――――― the dividing line―――――――― the ministers of civil and military affairs left the palace, because it was too late, so they each took their own leave and returned to their homes, and they would discuss the countermeasures in detail tomorrow.

Among the people, only Han Teng lived in the outer city, so after saying goodbye to the other ministers, he returned to his mansion.

Because at this time, Han Teng sent almost all of his men out to chase the plateau, so the entire mansion seemed empty and deserted. As soon as he entered the mansion, Han Teng immediately asked the generals who stayed in the mansion and said, "Is there any news?" ”

The general shook his head and said, "Lord Hui, there is no news coming back." ”

When Han Teng heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and rushed to the small building where the two of Feng Boyu lived together. At this time, the two of them were meditating on the small building, and when they saw Han Teng coming, the two of them immediately asked, "Is there any news about the plateau?" ”

Han Teng shook his head and said, "No, but today Qin Wangzheng summoned us and has already made a decision to send troops to attack Yan Kingdom." ”

Feng Bo Yushi was not interested in attacking Yan Kingdom, Feng Bo continued the previous topic, and said: "This has been going for three days, even if it can't catch up with the plateau, but it can find some clues about its whereabouts, why is there no news at all so far?" ”

The rain master said: "Yes, does it mean that the plateau has erased all traces?" Or did he hide somewhere, so there was no trace left. ”

Han Teng was stunned for a moment, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he said, "Is this very possible?" ”

Feng Bo said: "What? ”

Han Teng smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe we were wrong at the beginning, Gao Yuan left a book overnight and left the Meng family, creating an impression that he had left Xianyang first, and successfully mobilized us to send a large number of men to attack from all sides to chase him, in fact, he did not leave Xianyang at all, of course we could not find the traces left by the plateau on the road." As a result, after we searched for a long time and still found nothing, he was able to calmly leave Xianyang and return to Daijun. ”

Feng Bo and Yu Shi were also stunned at the same time, and said: "If the plateau is still in Xianyang, then hurry up and search in Xianyang City." ”

Han Teng shook his head and said, "It's useless, because we have lost the whereabouts of the plateau, and I can't be sure that he is still in Xianyang at this time, maybe he is hiding somewhere outside the city, maybe he has returned to Daijun at this time, and now most of our manpower has been sent out, it will take at least two or three days to recruit them back, and during this time, no one can predict what will happen." And now that Qin Wangzheng has ordered to attack Yan Kingdom, I still have the five gods and all of them have military affairs, and it is impossible to have enough time to find the plateau in Xianyang City, and maybe the plateau is not in Xianyang City at all, so we will go there to find him. ”

Feng Bo said hatefully: "I didn't expect such a good opportunity this time, but I actually let Gao Yuan run away, it's really a chess game, and I lost everything." ”

Master Yu also smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, if this person is not removed, it will eventually be a big disaster for us, so what should we do next?" ”

Han Teng said: "Qin Wangzheng has ordered an attack on Yan State, and this time it is to use troops against the Yan Dynasty at the same time, the focus is to prevent Dai Jun from sending troops to rescue Yan State, and once Yan State is destroyed by Qin State, Dai County will be difficult to protect itself, I think the plateau will definitely dispatch all the troops of Dai County to resist the Qin army." Therefore, if the Dai army can be defeated on the battlefield in one fell swoop and perished together with Dai Yan, then even if the plateau can escape with his life, but if he loses his territory and army, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a big difference. ”

Feng Bo nodded and said, "Yes, if there is no territory and army, no matter how strong Gao Yuan's ability is, it is not terrible, but Gao Yuan also has a layout in the Qin State, and he has enough strength, once the Dai County is destroyed, he can still use the power of the Qin State." ”

Han Teng said: "We are not completely powerless in the Qin State, we can fight between the Qin State and the plateau, although the plateau's power in the Qin State is stronger than ours, but after he lost the Dai County, he lacks confidence, and we may not be able to fight him." And the Qin State attaches the most importance to military merits, if this time I go to war, I can lead all the way to defeat the Dai army, and make great contributions, my status in the Qin State will be greatly improved, but now the national strength of the Qin State has not yet recovered, and my Nanyang Army was also lost in the Great Liang War, so if you want to defeat the Dai Army, you must mobilize people from the clan to reinforce. ”

Feng Bo and Yu Shi glanced at each other, and Feng Bo said: "This matter is very important, and we can't take it lightly, we must return to the clan and discuss it with others before we can decide." ”

Han Teng nodded and said, "Okay, then bother the two elders to rush back to the clan and make a decision as soon as possible." ”
