Wang He bowed and replied, "Zhao's elite troops were completely decimated in the Battle of Changping, while my Qin soldiers are all elite and brave. Even if the enemy is led by Lian Po, I can guarantee that Zhao will not be able to cross the Hangu Pass."
Meng Ao lowered his head and added, "The six states in Shandong are all greedy for advantage. Even if they unite temporarily because of the principle of "lips and teeth are cold", it will not last long.
Moreover, the war between Zhao and Yan is at a decisive stage, so the elite troops are in the north, not the south, and in the east, not the west. Our Great Qin troops are all waiting in the eastern border, with sufficient food and fodder. Even if Lian Po were to lead his troops to invade, they would only be exhausted and not a threat."
Although Ying Zichu felt somewhat relieved, he pointed at the feng shui map and said, "What if Wei sends troops to help Zhao and they all attack Qin?"
Wang He smiled and said, "I have heard that Your Majesty has an official under his command named Lü Buwei. Why don't you send him to the frontier? Add to that your old deputy general Wang Jian and General Meng's son Meng Wu, and there will be no need for any worries."
"Furthermore, if Wei wants to help Zhao, it will be good news for our Great Qin. General Meng only needs to capture a few cities in Han, and Wei will surely return to defend. If they do not return to defend, they will abandon Han and flee to Wei. This old minister mentioned that if the military force is weak, most of Han's territory will also belong to Qin."
Meng Ao nodded and continued Wang He's words, "With the might of the Qin army, this old minister only needs seven days for most of Hancheng to fall to the Qin. If Wei really sends troops to attack the Qin, then even Wei will be lost.
Moreover, it will only take General Wang a few days to sweep through Zhou. After all, they are just the remnants of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so it won't take much effort. After General Wang sweeps through Eastern Zhou, he can join forces with this old minister to attack Han and Wei, or divide his forces and attack them separately."
Ying Zichu's blood boiled with passion as he heard this. He said, "Are you two old generals really sure? If so, go ahead and do it. When you return after your success, I will definitely lead the horses and chariot for you two generals."
Wang He and Meng Ao hurriedly bowed and said in unison, "We, your humble servants, do not deserve such great kindness from you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zichu persisted for a few more times, but seeing that there was no way, he had to give up and ordered someone to call Cai Ze. Only then did the hall have a moment of peace.
