"Your Majesty should send a general to cross the Yellow River and attack Han as quickly as possible. Moreover, this person must be very familiar with the mountains and rivers of Han!"
After Lu Li finished speaking, Ying Zheng immediately had someone in mind.
That was Neishi Teng, who surrendered last year!
"What do you think of Neishi Teng, sir?"
Before Lu Li could answer, Li Si, standing to the side, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Inner Minister Teng is a surrendered general. According to Mr. Lu, the key to this attack on Han is speed and secrecy. I fear..."
Li Si's concerns were not unfounded; Neishi Teng had only surrendered for a year.
Ying Zheng didn't reply, but looked at Lu Li.
“I know something about Neishi Teng. Your Majesty can appoint him.”
After Neishi Teng surrendered last year, he sent men from the Black Ice Guard to infiltrate his inner circle.
Today, Black Ice Station has grown even larger, reaching 10,000 people.
They were scattered throughout the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles in the seven kingdoms, and some even infiltrated the royal palaces of other kingdoms.
Over the past year, Nesten's behavior has shown that he has genuinely pledged allegiance to the cause.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them! In that case, the important task of this surprise attack on Han will be entrusted to Taishi Teng!"
Li Si cupped his hands in greeting and said nothing more.
Meanwhile, Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben, who were standing to the side, did not utter a single word from beginning to end. Wang Jian was too clever.
He knew that in Ying Zheng's heart, Lu Li was his backbone and the person Ying Zheng trusted most.
Wang Jian was a military general, and his efforts were indispensable in the conquest of the six states, so Wang Jian was not in a hurry at all.
"After conquering Han, which country will be the next?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.
After a moment's thought, Lu Li said without hesitation, "Zhao!"
The states of Han and Zhao are currently the weakest among the six states, and by using Han as a springboard, one can directly conquer Zhao.
"The third one is Wei!"
After destroying Zhao, we can then encircle and surround Wei. At that point, Wei will be like fish on a chopping board, ready to be devoured whenever we wish.
"The fourth one, Chu!"
At this time, the Qin state had already connected the northwest into one, and its southern border bordered the Chu state. With swift and decisive action, Qin could take over the Chu state.
"The fifth one, Yan!"
The states of Yan and Qi were the furthest from Qin, requiring a protracted war, and Yan and Qi were also the two most powerful of the six states.
The reason for choosing Yan was that Yan's land was relatively barren, and if we attacked Yan, we could even negotiate with Qi to cede the territory that once belonged to Qi, so that Qi would not aid Yan.
"The last nation, Qi!"
At this time, with all five states destroyed, the powerful Qin state was able to take down the Qi state in one fell swoop and unify the world!
Inside Ying Zheng's palace, Lu Li set the order for conquering the six states. Ying Zheng was thrilled, as if he could see the Qin army invading the six states and unifying the world.
"My dear ministers, do you have any objections to what the master has said?" Ying Zheng asked.
There's no need to elaborate on Wang Jian and his son Wang Ben; one was an old fox, and the other a young fox.
The strategy devised by Lu Li was already the optimal solution. At this point, all they had to do was wait for the King of Qin's orders. They absolutely could not risk offending Lu Li and displeasing Ying Zheng.
Li Si nodded thoughtfully and said, "Mr. Lu's strategy coincides with my own!"
Seeing that no one objected, Ying Zheng immediately waved his hand and said, "Good! Issue my order: let Neishi Teng lead 150,000 troops to launch a surprise attack on Han!"
In a secluded garden in Xianyang City.
A man wielding a long sword stood directly opposite Gai Nie, the two men locked in a tense standoff, their auras escalating rapidly.
The next moment, they were locked in combat.
"Wow, Wei Zhuang is improving so fast!" Lu Li said to Xiao Lu'er from the side.
Back then, Wei Zhuang entered Ghost Valley to seek its internal energy cultivation methods. Now, many years have passed, and he has reached the level of a minor grandmaster.
But he always had a deep-seated obsession: to defeat Gai Nie.
Since he entered Ghost Valley, he has never defeated Gai Nie.
Now that he has become a minor grandmaster, he wanted to break free from his obsession, but things didn't go as planned, and he failed again this time.
"I'm not fighting anymore!" Wei Zhuang said, somewhat resigned to his fate.
Gai Nie smiled and said, "The reason you always lose to me is not because your swordsmanship and internal strength are insufficient, but because your heart is not pure enough."
Those who wish to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship must possess a pure heart.
Sword intent, sword way, and sword heart are all indispensable.
Although Wei Zhuang had reached the level of a minor grandmaster, he still had some concerns and was not entirely pure.
“Senior Brother is right, Wei Zhuang, you’re overthinking things,” Lu Li chimed in.
To everyone's surprise, Wei Zhuang curled his lip and pointed at Lu Li, saying, "No matter how much I think, can I think as much as he does? This guy comprehended sword intent when he was at the eighth level."
Wei Zhuang's words immediately put Gai Nie at a loss for words, but he still said, "Junior brother... cannot be compared to ordinary people."
Even Gai Nie didn't understand. Gui Guzi had said that Lu Li's martial arts talent was not high and that it would be difficult for him to become a minor master in this lifetime.
But now Lu Li has actually reached the peak of the ninth rank, only one step away from becoming a minor grandmaster.
If he hadn't spent so much time on the Black Ice Platform, he probably would have already reached the level of a minor grandmaster.
“Yeah, who can compare to him?” Wei Zhuang shrugged, clearly accepting the reality.
Gai Nie's words, however, served as a reminder to Lu Li.
His constitution was extraordinary; the renowned physician, Qingshan, had been out of contact for a long time.
