Since the word "please" had already been used, Meng Ao naturally would not kneel any longer. He thanked the emperor and knelt on the ground, waiting for Ying Zheng's punishment.
"Sir, you told me something on the way to Yongcheng. I think it makes sense, so I brought it over to the General to discuss."
Ying Zheng looked at Meng Ao who was kneeling below and said with a smile.
"Sir, you say the time has come to rekindle our war, annex all the nations in one fell swoop, and establish the unrivaled foundation of our Great Qin. General, do you have any other suggestions?"
Meng Ao was shocked by these words. After all, annexing other countries had been Qin's ambition for a long time, but the only ones who really revealed it were King Zhaoxiang of Qin and the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng in front of him.
Although Qin Zhaoxiang Wang's reign was not blessed by heaven like Qin Shi Huang, the military might and national strength of Qin at that time were incomparable to those of today's Qin Shi Huang.
Although all countries have regressed, now is obviously not the best time to launch an attack.
However, since it was Bai Qi who discussed it with Ying Zheng and Ying Zheng agreed, it means that they had already made all the arrangements during the days when Meng Ao was away from Xianyang.
"The military might of our Great Qin is unrivaled. Although the other nations may have spare strength, they are still no match for our Great Qin." Meng Ao looked at Ying Zheng respectfully and said, "Besides, with the God of Killing still alive, it is only a matter of time before we unify the nations."
When Ying Zheng called out the title "God of Killing", it sounded a bit distant, but when Meng Ao called it out, it was respectful.
"So, General, you also agree with our Great Qin sending troops to conquer?" Ying Zheng chuckled. "If that's the case, then General, tell me, which country should we start with when annexing the other countries?"
Meng Ao knew that this was a test from Ying Zheng. It would be too formal to call it a test, but Ying Zheng was just asking for his opinion.
Since Ying Zheng and Bai Qi had discussed it, they naturally had their own opinions. Although Meng Ao had lived longer, he was still weaker than Bai Qi when it came to military strategy.
After all, although the army respected him, they respected Wang He and Bai Qi even more.
One is the legend of conquering twelve cities in one day and destroying a country in one day, and the other is the Qin military god Bai Qi who is hated by all countries.
And Meng Ao was just a temporary general. This position was not only held by him, but also by many others.
But how many people left their reputation? Aren’t they just those few figures?
And isn't Bai Qi the only one who can truly influence generations of soldiers?
"In my humble opinion, we should first launch an attack on Han." Although he thought so, if Ying Zheng asked, Meng Ao would definitely say something, "When the Great Qin marches eastward, no matter what, we cannot avoid Han."
"I think so too." Ying Zheng laughed again. It seemed that he still had some abilities.
If you say that Bai Qi agreed with him, it was only because Bai Qi did not need to care about the enemies ahead, but if Meng Ao agreed with him, it proved that he had indeed made the right choice.
"What happens after we attack Han?" Ying Zheng continued, "will we defeat Wei in one fell swoop, or use the momentum to attack Zhao, or perhaps march south to attack Chu?"
"Chu is powerful. Although it cannot compete with our Great Qin, it still has to be an ally. Only after Zhao, Wei, and Han submit can we attack Chu."
Meng Ao said this seriously, now he no longer cared about any so-called punishment.
Since Ying Zheng was willing to tell him about his intention to destroy all the countries, it proved that he would take action in recent years.
According to history, this probably didn't happen before Meng Ao, but the extraordinary people who appeared had already reached a certain level, and Meng Ao had also trained for a while, and his body was not as old as before.
"After the Han Kingdom is defeated, we should use our heavy forces to suppress Wei and Chu, forcing them to form an alliance with our Great Qin and attack Zhao together."
There was also a hint of surprise on Ying Zheng's face hidden under the crown. After all, what Meng Ao said was similar to the deduction on the jade slip. It was impossible to say that they were exactly the same, but they were mostly correct.
Ying Zheng then knew that what was on the jade slip was probably the future.
"General, you have good insight. Your views are the same as mine and mine." Ying Zheng glanced at Bai Qi and saw him blink, so he had an idea in his mind.
"Although the general's opinion is correct, it is ultimately too optimistic. The other countries now regard our Great Qin as a scourge, so how could they possibly form an alliance with us?
If it's Wei, there's still a chance, but if it's Chu, there's probably no chance."
"Yes." Meng Ao spoke firmly. He glanced at Bai Qi before speaking loudly to Ying Zheng, "As long as the God of Death is in charge, even if Qi joins the war, let alone Chu, they will be nothing more than chickens and dogs, nothing to be feared."
At this moment, Meng Ao finally remembered that although there were not many high-ranking generals in the Qin Dynasty, there were top generals in the Qin Dynasty.
Bai Qi's reputation was not only spread in the Qin Dynasty. His existence was a deterrent, a deterrent that could scare other countries into forming an alliance immediately.
After the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi's reputation remains unchanged even after decades.
The people of Zhao State wished they could cut Bai Qi into pieces themselves. This was the creator of the peak of hatred between Qin and Zhao.
"I, an old minister, resign from my position as General and am willing to serve as a lackey under the command of the God of Death."
Meng Ao kowtowed hard, he knew this was what Ying Zheng wanted.
Perhaps Ying Zheng did not have this idea, and only came up with it after hearing him shouting his resignation outside.
Perhaps Ying Zheng had this idea in mind and was waiting for him to say it, waiting for Meng Ao to say it himself, just like the respect that Ying Zichu gave to Cai Ze.
No matter which one it is, it is very important to express your position now.
As to whether there was anything wrong with Meng Ao's words, or whether he had committed any serious offense, there was none.
Or perhaps this is what Ying Zheng wanted.
Ying Zheng is different from other princes, and Bai Qi is different from other ministers.
From the moment Ying Zheng ascended the throne, he did not want to step down, and no one could force him to step down, not even Bai Qi.
