Why did he lead the army in person?
It’s very simple, Ying Yuan is scared!
A few years ago, the State of Chu invaded. What a great opportunity it was to destroy the country!
The enemy army was about to break through Zhicheng and reach the front of Xianyang City.
But what is the result?
One Cao Cao ruined everything.
It even caused him to vomit blood out of anger.
At the critical moment when he thought he was about to die, he was saved by Zhu Danxi.
This time...
No matter what, Cao Cao and his men cannot be allowed to lead the troops into battle.
Only by going there yourself can you guarantee that you can be defeated by the State of Chu!
Apart from this, I can’t trust anyone else!
Therefore, you must lead the army in person!
After Ying Yuan said those words, everyone in the Xuan Zheng Hall had the same idea in their minds.
That is, before this, perhaps the extremely wise emperor in front of them had already anticipated that the Chu State would invade.
Otherwise, why was he not surprised at all after learning about this, but instead looked a little excited?
Is Your Majesty sure of winning this battle?
Come to think of it.
Back then, Xiang Yan also led an army of hundreds of thousands, but in the end he was tied down by the tens of thousands of troops led by the King of Wei and was ultimately defeated by the Qin State.
The State of Chu is not that scary.
The Qin Dynasty can be defeated.
But now...
The Guo Dynasty has just experienced a war, and it is eager to have another dispute with the Chu State. Is this really a good thing?
However, Chu was the first to initiate it.
However, if this matter is handled properly, it will at most be a diplomatic incident.
Even if we have to fight, we can still fight the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War.
After all, after the war against Japan, the Ministry of Revenue will receive a large amount of compensation, which can be used to launch a massive campaign.
Not to mention defeating the Chu army again, there should be no problem in keeping the enemy out of the country.
But now His Majesty wants to lead the army in person!
How is this possible?
To be honest, the establishment of official schools, the creation of the imperial examination system, the construction of canals, and the conquest of Japan were all possible at the same time because Ying Yuan was in charge of the country.
If any accident occurs during this expedition, who can take the responsibility?
If anything happens to Ying Yuan, the Qin Dynasty will be finished!
"Your Majesty! The situation in Chu is still uncertain. Why not have officials from the Honglu Temple go to the Qin-Chu border to negotiate with them first?
It has been less than two years since Concubine Xuan came to our Great Qin, and the State of Chu has already dared to raise an army. During this period, there is no guarantee that there will not be some misunderstandings."
Cai Jing bowed slowly.
He said so much, but he actually had only one purpose, which was to dissuade Ying Yuan from leading the army in person.
However, after spending so much time with the emperor, he knew very well that if he told the emperor about that matter directly, he was afraid that the emperor would not agree.
Therefore, now we can only use a tactful way to dispel Ying Yuan’s plan.
Everyone knows that a war between nations will not change because of a woman.
To the Qin and Chu states, Mi Yue was just a tool.
Cao Cao echoed, "Your Majesty, if you want to fight, just let me go.
"I have fought Wu Qi several times and know him well. If I lead the charge, I will surely be able to repel the enemy!"
Qin Hui also stepped out and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, if it were the Emperor of Chu leading a large army, then it would be perfectly reasonable for Your Majesty to lead the army in person.
However, he is only a general of the Chu State now. My Great Qin State has many brave generals and counselors.
For example, Marshal Huo Guang, who has just returned from a victory and is still on his way, is a good candidate."
He definitely didn't want Cao Cao to go.
If the other party gains more military merits, it will have reached a point where there is no more room for further rewards.
By then, with his military achievements, he would most likely replace Cai Jing's position.
However, the Chu State is now aggressive and if we are not careful, we may end up like we did a few years ago.
Therefore, we have to make a careful decision.
Huo Guang, who had just won a battle and was able to lead troops, was a good candidate.
For people like them.
Political struggle is a family matter. No matter how hard the struggle goes, everyone talks behind closed doors.
But if things like struggle affect the interests and foundation of the country, then they will become everyone's enemy.
Even if Qin Hui did not allow Cao Cao to go, he would still recommend a commander who was no less capable than Cao Cao.
No one can take on this role except Huo Guang, who defeated Japan.
Heshen didn't say anything.
He was thinking, based on the cash in the Ministry of Revenue, how many years this war would last.
Well, yes, he was thinking of years, not months or days.
No one expected that whether it was building the canal or conquering Japan, the Qin treasury had always had plenty of money.
After a pause, Ying Yuan looked around at everyone and slowly said, "My ministers, there is no need to say more. I have my own plans.
What you should do now is to convey my will to Huo Guang and the four kings.
In addition, from now on, you must prepare the necessary supplies for the expedition."
As soon as the words fell.
Cai Jing and others had no choice but to act according to his wishes.
They quickly evacuated the Xuanzheng Hall.
After leaving the place, Cao Cao whispered to Cai Jing, "Does the Prime Minister really want Your Majesty to lead the army in person?"
Hearing this, the latter said with a helpless smile: "Now, do you have any better ideas?
You just saw that His Majesty is determined to go on the expedition. If I try to dissuade him, I will only anger His Majesty."
