Daji was right.
When those people gathered together, it often meant that the Qin Dynasty was facing a critical moment of life and death.
The last time they gathered together was when the Chu State seized half of the Qin State.
Outside the Xuanzheng Hall.
Huo Guang strode proudly along the path cleared by the officials.
From time to time, ministers would bow and say:
"Marshal Huo, your victory in the war against the Japanese will surely leave a lasting mark in history books."
"Great coach Huo, you bring glory to our country!"
"General Huo, you have single-handedly washed away the shame of our Great Qin in its naval history!"
“…”
After hearing these voices, Huo Guang responded humbly one by one:
"Lord Zhao, your words are sincere. If I did not have such a powerful general and counselors under my command, I am afraid that I would not be able to achieve a complete victory in the war against Japan."
"Leaving my name in history is not my wish. I only hope that in the future, the soldiers of the Great Qin will shed less blood."
"If it weren't for Your Majesty, who was in charge of the country, how could our army spread the great reputation of the Great Qin overseas?"
“…”
After a pause, Li Linfu, the Minister of Personnel, clasped his fists and said, "General Huo, this battle has at least saved dozens of nobles for our Great Qin, especially you, who have made a great contribution.
The war against Chu requires your participation. Now the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War are actively preparing for the expedition. Everything is ready except for the east wind.
I just wonder if the soldiers who followed Marshal Huo back from the battle can participate in the next war."
Huo Guang paused for a moment and said seriously, "After a period of rest, the problem shouldn't be too serious. I heard that the Chu State mobilized a full 700,000 troops in this battle."
Li Linfu nodded solemnly and said, "The most worrying thing now is that these 700,000 troops are only the vanguard of the Chu State."
Suddenly.
Not far away, the sound of scouts was heard.
"Urgent news! Urgent news! Jin has sent its great generals, Li Mu and Lian Po, each leading an army of 250,000 men, a thousand miles to Youzhou and Yunzhou. The northern border is in danger! The northern border is in danger!"
Hear the sound.
Everyone gasped.
The most worrying thing still happened.
With the Chu State invading and Qin in internal trouble, the Jin State, which is closest to the northern border, must take action.
Sure enough, the worst result finally happened.
The scout quickly came to the officials and knelt on the ground, ready to obey the emperor's call at any time.
Just as Cao Cao was about to ask for details, the scout suddenly fainted.
Seeing this, he took the urgent military information from the scout and asked several eunuchs to carry him to another place to rest.
Soon, many ministers came to Cao Cao's side.
He opened the military emergency report and frowned at the ministers, saying, "That man is right. The two states of Youyun are in danger."
Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Misfortunes never come singly. This time, it is a severe test for our Great Qin."
"yes..."
On the Fengtai Pavilion.
Daji and the others naturally heard the discussions between the scout and the officials.
They were very worried about Ying Yuan leading the army in person.
If there was only one Chu State, Ying Yuan would not have to lead the army in person.
But now, with the invasion of Jin State, the situation has become extremely critical.
Perhaps, only the emperor himself can help the country.
"Jin...it's said that its national strength is more than twice that of Chu, making it a great power.
I didn't expect that they would also set their sights on our Qin State."
Daji said worriedly.
Previously, the State of Jin was unwilling to confront the State of Qin because the State of Qin had no resources that the State of Jin could utilize.
However, the internal troubles in Jin State are now even worse than those in Qin State.
In order to divert the country's internal conflicts, they had no choice but to go and squeeze the "soft persimmon" of Qin.
It just so happened that the State of Chu had always coveted the State of Qin.
In front of Xuanzheng Hall.
All officials were silent about Jin's participation in the war.
That’s the State of Jin!
The national strength is far greater than that of the Qin Dynasty!
In front of the State of Jin, the Qin State was like an ant that could be trampled on by anyone.
How could they not be worried and afraid because of this?
After a while, the four kings and four generals had all arrived.
Seeing this, Cai Jing looked towards the main hall, bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, everyone is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people began to look intently at the Xuanzheng Hall.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly walked out of the hall.
This person is Ying Yuan.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you and wish you a long life!"
"Long live His Majesty!"
“…”
Soon, a thunderous sound was heard in front of the Xuanzheng Hall.
Ying Yuan sat on the steps regardless of the imperial etiquette, holding a bowl of green plums in his hand.
He put one in his mouth, chewed it, and after spitting out the seeds, he looked at the officials kneeling on the ground in front of him, not daring to look up, and said slowly:
"I've heard what the scout just said. Look at yourselves! Isn't it just the invasion of Jin? A mere 500,000 soldiers, and you're frightened like this?"
At this time, Ying Yuan was very happy.
The more countries willing to attack Qin, the better.
It would be best to destroy the Qin State in one go.
Otherwise, he looked down on them.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task right now is to send reinforcements and actively prepare for war!"
"Your Majesty, the State of Jin is even more dangerous than the State of Chu!"
"I suggest that we stabilize Jin first and then attack Chu with all our might. As long as Chu can withdraw its troops, Jin will surely retreat!"
