Chapter 260 Wei Liao: I wonder if Your Majesty knows my teacher?

"If we discuss the attack on Chu this time, it won't be my turn to lead the troops."

Zhao Feng said slowly, with a firm tone in his voice.

"This is indeed the case." Wang Jian also nodded.

"The four camps of the Great Qin, the Northern Frontier, guards the northern border, basically to defend against foreign tribes in the north."

"When the Qin attacked other states, it prioritized Lantian and Wu'an, and the Hangu Camp had never been given the task of attacking. This time, Huan Yi will definitely do his best to fight for it."

"And many ministers in the court will not sit idly by and watch you make new achievements."

"After all, as long as you make another contribution, you will be awarded the title of National Captain." Han Fei smiled and understood the meaning of Zhao Feng's words.

"Let the credit for this battle be given to others. There are plenty of credits out there." Zhao Feng smiled and didn't care too much.

Now my power and position have reached its current level.

There are only Qi and Chu left in Shenzhou. He may not be able to lead the troops to fight this time, but he can definitely do it next time.

The position of national commander must belong to Zhao Feng.

No one can take it away.

And the other side.

"Sir."

"There has been some news in the court this time that the king may use military force against the State of Chu. No matter what, we cannot let Zhao Feng continue to lead the troops this time, otherwise he will become the head of the military officials, which is definitely not a good thing for us." Wei Zhuang said in a low voice.

"Let's do everything according to what Wei Zhuang said." Fusu sighed.

He didn't want to fight, but his supporters pushed him to do so.

Although a supporter.

But it would be better to say that they are using his name to gain benefits.

"Fusu, ah Fusu."

"A woman's kindness."

"If I were you, I would have taken action against me a long time ago."

"Besides, you are not controlling your subordinates at all. Instead, you are being controlled by them."

Although Wei Zhuang and the others were talking in a low voice, they were only a dozen meters apart, so Zhao Feng could hear them very clearly even without using his spiritual sense.

At this time! The gate of the imperial palace opened.

"All officials come to the emperor for an audience." Zhao Gao shouted hoarsely.

Then he bowed and walked into the hall.

All the officials lined up and walked towards the court hall in an orderly manner.

Ren Xiong led a group of guards to inspect in front of the hall and took away the swords carried by the ministers.

Zhao Feng naturally wore a sword when entering the palace as usual. Although he had obtained the Tianwen Sword, he still wore the Longquan Sword.

Now Zhao Feng has not found any cultivator, so there is no need to unsheathe the magical weapon like Tianwen Sword. It has been kept by Zhao Feng as a trump card.

Entered the hall.

Still the same old rules.

Zhao Feng stood at the top of the military officials, but Wang Wan, who originally stood at the top of the civil officials, was no longer there. Now Han Fei stood at the top. There were also some new faces in the court, such as Xiao He, and some new faces that Zhao Feng saw for the first time.

The court is very large.

Official positions are limited, and officials in the capital are what all local officials in the Qin Dynasty aspire to be.

When someone goes down, someone else will naturally go up.

Fusu and Hu Hai stood at the bottom of the stairs.

The right to participate in politics means allowing them to stand down and listen, and to express their opinions.

"This guy Hu Hai looks harmless, but he is actually a pervert."

When Zhao Feng looked at Hu Hai, he found that after all these years, Hu Hai had grown up completely.

Zhao Feng looked around.

Then he withdrew his gaze.

At this time.

"The King has arrived."

Zhao Gao screamed.

Ying Zheng walked out slowly.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you..."

The court meeting was still the same as before, with people paying homage and shouting.

As the ministers returned to their positions, court meetings began.

"Your Majesty."

"now."

"The Yan land has entered a period of great stability."

"Incorporate it into the territory of our Great Qin."

"Cai Ci implemented the national policy of our Great Qin in Yan, and the people were loyal to him."

"The war has been decided, and the Du Kang area has also ushered in the first good harvest of our Great Qin." Han Fei stood up and spoke loudly.

"How much grain is stored in the Qin granary now?" Ying Zheng looked at Han Fei and asked.

"Return to the King."

“Except for a few drylands that are experiencing water shortages.”

"Grain depots in various regions are more than 70% full."

"The granaries in Guanzhong, Shu, and Dukang are full."

"With the grain and fodder in the granaries of various places, not counting the transportation losses, our Great Qin can keep a million elite soldiers on the expedition for a year," Han Fei said immediately.

"It has been three months since you took over as Prime Minister, and I am impressed by Prime Minister Han's abilities."

"good."

Ying Zheng praised with a smile on his face.

"I am trusted by the king and have been entrusted with the position of prime minister. I will never let you down." Han Fei bowed and retreated to the first seat.

"Your Majesty."

"There is a big news coming back from the State of Chu." Wei Liao stood up and said loudly.

"Wei Qing, go ahead and speak." Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"The Chu State has undergone a major change."

"The Prime Minister of Chu was ambushed by Li Yuan, the three families of Chu and the general Xiang Yan. Li Yuan was already dead, and the one he helped to establish as the King of Chu, Xiong You, was not a member of the Chu royal family, but the son of Li Yuan."

"He has been killed by the three families."

"The State of Chu has now appointed a new king, named Fuchu."

Wei Liao started to play loudly.

As soon as these words fell.

Many ministers in the court had expressions of shock on their faces, but a small number of them seemed calm, perhaps having already received the news.

"Your Majesty."

"The State of Chu has undergone a great change. The country is in chaos. Three families are fighting for power. The King of Chu is powerless."

"This is our opportunity to attack Chu."

"I am willing to lead the troops to attack, destroy the State of Chu, and help unify the Qin State." Huan Yi immediately stood up and requested loudly.

Ying Zheng did not agree directly, but looked at Zhao Feng: "Mr. Zhao, in your opinion, how many troops are needed to conquer the State of Chu?"

"Return to the King."

"The territory of Chu is vast, and its military strength is comparable to that of Zhao in the past, and all of them are brave soldiers."

"If you want to destroy Chu, you will need at least 600,000 troops, or even more." Zhao Feng said slowly.

"I only need 200,000 troops from the Hangu camp to destroy Chu."

"Chu is now in civil strife and the government is unstable. This is a great opportunity. Even though Chu has military strength that is no less than Zhao's in the past, Chu will certainly not be able to exert its national strength under the civil strife."

"Again."

"The King of Chu is just a puppet. The real military power lies with the three families."

"I have confidence in destroying Chu." Huan Yi requested loudly.

"Your Majesty."

"Although the grain depot of our Great Qin is now full, it cannot withstand the excessive consumption of the two camps. This time, General Huan Yi will use his 200,000 troops to destroy Chu, and he will surely achieve remarkable success."

"In order to protect the strength of our Great Qin, I believe that General Huan Yi will be able to destroy Chu."

Wei Zhuang stood up and agreed loudly.

"I second the motion."

"When we destroyed Zhao in the past, our Great Qin mobilized two large camps of troops, with a total of more than 800,000 people, transporting food and fodder, and transferring baggage."

“These are difficult problems.”

"The more troops there are, the greater the losses. The more troops there are, the more difficult it is to transport them."

"General Huan Yi has such confidence. If he can destroy Chu with a large battalion of troops, it will be a blessing for our Great Qin."

"Please consider this carefully, Your Majesty."

One by one, the ministers stood up and agreed.

All of them support Huan Yi's momentum of leading his troops to attack Chu.

See this.

Zhao Feng smiled faintly and shook his head indifferently.

It's clear.

Now they don’t want to see themselves leading troops into battle again and destroying a country again.

Once it is established, the position of the national commander is completely determined, and no one can stop it.

but.

Zhao Feng had no intention of fighting in this battle.

The State of Chu was vast, with strong soldiers and horses. If you wanted to destroy it, you had to have absolute advantage. Even though the Qin warriors were powerful, the State of Chu was not weak either.

"Zhao Qing, what do you think?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng with a calm face.

"I still insist on my opinion."

"If you want to destroy Chu, you must have an absolute advantage in military strength. Although Chu is in chaos, if our Great Qin attacks, it will be an invasion by a great enemy. Once the country is destroyed, all their power will be gone."

"Therefore, they will do their best to fight against our Great Qin."

Zhao Feng spoke slowly.

"This is what General Zhao Feng is thinking."

“Yes.”

"I still want to give it a try. If General Zhao Feng is wrong, and the Chu State is in an unstable situation and cannot compete with our Great Qin, then it will be a joy for our Great Qin." Huan Yi said with a serious face.

It is obvious that they want to seize this opportunity to send troops.

Ying Zheng glanced at the court and then looked at Zhao Feng.

Obviously.

He didn't think about why Zhao Feng didn't seize the opportunity to go on the expedition.

Originally, he had an idea in his mind. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to let Zhao Feng once again achieve the merit of destroying a country and become the Wei of Jin State, thus reaching the pinnacle of a military official.

"Since Huan Qing is so confident, how can I not help him?"

"but."

"Since you are leading the troops, you should be cautious."

"Don't let me down." There was a sense of oppression in Ying Zheng's tone.

Huan Yi was shocked and bowed with joy: "I will never let the king down."

"This battle will surely destroy the State of Chu!"

And saw Ying Zheng issued an edict.

Wei Zhuang, who was originally nervous, now breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhao Feng didn't get the chance to attack Chu this time."

"In this case."

"As long as Huan Yi can destroy Chu, Zhao Feng will not be able to take any part in the achievement of destroying the country this time."

"Once Chu is destroyed, Qi will no longer be a concern. We may even be able to force Qi to surrender."

"As long as Zhao Feng cannot go any further, it will be good for us." Wei Zhuang thought secretly in his heart.

"Your Majesty."

"I have been studying in the palace for three months, which delayed my return home."

"Now that we have General Huan Yi leading the army in the war, I don't need to worry about it."

"I beg the king to allow me to return home to rest."

Zhao Feng bowed to Ying Zheng and asked loudly for orders.

Upon hearing this.

Ying Zheng also glanced at Zhao Feng with some anger.

"I have just granted you three months of rest in my palace, and now you want to return home. What's the matter? You don't want to stay in Xianyang?" Ying Zheng said with some displeasure in his tone.

"Zhao Feng's current actions are actually a bit arrogant."

"OK."

"This has caused the king's displeasure. Zhao Feng is courting his own destruction."

"As a minister, it is a big taboo to repeatedly not attend court."

"After all, he was too young and hot-tempered, and he treated the military as the imperial court..."

Many ministers also heard the displeasure in Ying Zheng's words, and couldn't help but secretly gloat over his misfortune.

Yes.

In fact, Zhao Feng was not worried about anything at all.

Because he was already very familiar with Ying Zheng's tone.

This was the tone used almost everywhere in Zhangtai Palace.

"Your Majesty."

"I am just a warrior."

"Besides leading troops to fight, I don't have much interest in other things."

"Now my mother is happy in her hometown, and I want to take my family to accompany her." Zhao Feng said helplessly.

Looking at Zhao Feng like this.

Ying Zheng immediately thought of Xia Dong'er who was alone in the sand dunes.

"I will grant you two months of rest."

"Come back to me in two months." Ying Zheng waved his hand and said directly.

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Feng immediately bowed and said, "I thank the king for his great grace."

Then Zhao Feng retreated contentedly.

This time I am taking a break.

Firstly, he really wanted to bring his children back to accompany his mother. Secondly, he wanted to take the opportunity of leaving Xianyang to expand the small world and have time to incorporate the population gathered in Yanting into the small world.

certainly.

Before accepting these people into the small world, Zhao Feng had to go to the Yan Ting stronghold and arrange some of Yan Ting's people there first.

The development of a world must be orderly, and Zhao Feng’s words are the order of that world, and Yan Ting represents Zhao Feng.

"Zhao Feng is not too harsh on me."

"Your Majesty is still too lenient towards Zhao Feng."

Seeing that Ying Zheng did not blame Zhao Feng but directly granted it, some people were inevitably disappointed.

As time goes by.

The court meeting also dispersed.

Just as Zhao Feng turned around and was about to leave the hall.

Huan Yi came forward to greet him.

"Admiral."

"Please don't blame us for the dispute between military strategists."

Huan Yi said with some friendly intentions.

"General Huan Yi has said too much."

"They are all my Great Qin warriors. As long as we can unify the Great Qin, everything is worth it."

"Zhao Feng wishes General Huanyi success in his mission and in destroying Chu." Zhao Feng said with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Feng was not angry at all, Huan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." Huan Yi smiled immediately.

"Admiral."

"I don't know if you are willing to believe what I say." Zhao Feng walked forward slowly and lowered his voice.

"Please speak, General." Huan Yi said immediately.

"Logistics is the most important thing when marching and fighting. You must pay special attention to this." Zhao Feng said seriously.

Looking at Zhao Feng he said this.

Huan Yi nodded immediately: "I will definitely pay attention to this matter. Thank you General Zhao for reminding me."

"That's good."

Zhao Feng didn't say anything more.

Regarding the historical records about the Qin attack on Chu, Zhao Feng remembered one thing very clearly.

Mi Qi is guilty of treason!

When the Qin State attacked the Chu State, Mi Qi led tens of thousands of troops to garrison Chen Ying City, which was connected to the Chu State, and was responsible for the dispatch of grain and grass. Later, he even directly rebelled and joined the Chu State, becoming the last king of the Chu State.

This was also one of the reasons why Qin was defeated in its first attack on Chu.

Zhao Feng’s reminder today was not for Huan Yi, but for those Qin warriors.

However, these cannot be said too clearly. After all, Mi Qi is Fusu's grandfather and the authority of the dynasty. Although he was not named one of the Nine Ministers, his status is also very high.

Otherwise, he would not have been ordered by the King of Qin to guard Chen Ying. That is an important place. When he returns one day, he will surely be in a high position.

There are even rumors that after his return, the position of Right Prime Minister will be his in the future.

So Zhao Feng couldn't say openly that Mi Qi would commit treason, right?

After all, this has not happened yet, and letting Huan Yi focus on logistics matters is to let Huan Yi be careful of Mi Qi.

As for whether he takes it seriously or not, that depends on him.

He has done everything he could.

"Please wait a moment, my Lord."

Just as Zhao Feng walked to the palace door, Wei Liao's voice came from behind him.

Hear Wei Liao's voice.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Feng's eyes.

"I don't know what the matter is?"

Zhao Feng immediately clasped his fists and asked.

Wei Liao is a transparent person in the court.

If it was not a state affair or something related to the military affairs of the Qin Dynasty, he would hardly speak a word. Impeachments and court disputes had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, he didn't have many close friends in the court.

If we were to ask who the lone minister is, it would undoubtedly be him.

Now that he was called in front of so many people, Zhao Feng was naturally very surprised.

"I wonder if Your Majesty could move?" Wei Liao asked with a smile.

Zhao Feng nodded and smiled: "Of course.

Although I don’t know what Wei Liao is going to do.

But looking at his attentive look at this moment, Zhao Feng also felt that something was wrong.

"please."

Wei Liao immediately raised his hand and pointed to the side of the palace.

Zhao Feng naturally followed slowly.

"Why is that?"

"Wei Liao never clings to anyone? Why has he changed now?" Wei Zhuang frowned, looking a little worried.

How high is Wei Liao's status.

Without a doubt.

The current king trusts him the most.

Now Wei Liao actually took the initiative to call Zhao Feng and showed an attitude of approaching him, which naturally made Wei Zhuang worried.

At this moment, he was also very curious about why Wei Liao called Zhao Feng.

only.

He couldn't get close at all.

When we came to a deserted place.

Zhao Feng stopped and said, "There is no one here. What does the Shaofu want?"

Wei Liao glanced around, then asked with a smile, "I wonder if you have ever heard of my teacher?"
