Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 126
The salt shops are all government-run now, and now they are all in charge of Wang Chi. When people in Xianyang City started to eat fine salt, it was less than half a month since Ying Liman made a bet with Feng Jie.

But even knowing that this happened, Feng Jie didn't take it seriously at all, because based on his experience, how could this kind of problem that has plagued countless people for thousands of years be solved by a female doll?

But the fact is that it was a slap in the face, but Feng Jie didn't feel it. When Zhao Yi got involved, the whole process was further compressed.

Zhao Yi knew that Ying Liman was also trying to win himself over, so how could he stand by and watch, and he was relieved when the ten salt workshops and hundreds of salt shops in the city were in normal operation.

Ying Liman didn't seem to be worried, especially with Zhao Yi's help, she was even less worried. She even took Zhao Yi to attend the wedding of Li Si's son and Princess Huayang while she was busy.

When the son of Zaifu and the princess got married, the scene was naturally very lively, but whether the two newcomers could really grow old together, Zhao Yi couldn't help but speculate a little more in his heart.

But at the wedding banquet, Zhao Yi was taken away by Zhang Han. When he was dragged to the imperial study room, he found that Li Si, Feng Jie, Wang Ben and others had arrived in the imperial study room.

[Fuck, with such a big battle, who are you going to fight with? 】

Just as Zhao Yi was thinking about it, Ying Zheng turned down and said, "Li Xin, tell us about the military newspaper, what's going on!"

"Promise!" Li Xin stepped forward and said loudly: "According to the urgent report from the border, a thousand-man team from Donghu launched an indiscriminate attack on merchants passing through the Daqin border, causing more than 400 casualties and countless losses of money and food."

"There is an urgent report from Hongling from Jiuyuan. According to the report of the defenders, in the past half a month, remnants of the Yuezhi and the Huns have appeared on our border from time to time. It cannot be ruled out that the scouts of the two countries are spying on our army. There may be a big war in the near future. occur."

[I'm going, Donghu, Yueshi, and the Xiongnu are here together. It's still one east and one west. No wonder Yingzheng dragged Lao Tzu here from the wedding banquet. What's the matter? 】

"Warning on two fronts is a big taboo. Daqin may not be able to fight such a battle with his current financial resources, so he can only fight one of them first."

[However, whether it is east or west, whether it is Donghu or Yueshi, it all depends on what Ying Zheng thinks. 】

It's Zhao Yi's consistent aim to hang on high, so he just watched the fun from the sidelines like a normal person.

Ying Zheng didn't have time to deal with Zhao Yi now, so he looked at Feng Quji first, "Your Honor, what do you think should be done?"

Daqin respects the right, so when encountering major events, the first question Ying Zheng asks is not Li Si, but Feng Quji.

After thinking for a while, Feng Quji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's only been a few months since General Meng defeated the Xiongnu last time. Donghu, Yuezhi and the remnants of the Huns have risen up one after another. Obviously, they are ignoring our Great Qin Tianwei."

"In Yichen's opinion, His Majesty should send troops immediately to destroy the Donghu first, then fight the Yuezhi, and at the same time completely drive the Huns out of the area north of Yinshan Mountain."

"The Right Prime Minister's words are wrong." Li Si put forward a different opinion, "The Donghu is only harassing our Daqin caravan now, and there is no sign of showing any intentions, but the Yuezhi is different."

"Obviously the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu are united now, otherwise how could they appear at the border together!"

Wang Ben nodded and said: "What Prime Minister Zuo said is reasonable. The Yue clan is powerful. If they unite with the Xiongnu, they can harass our Great Qin border for hundreds of miles. No matter where they send troops from, they will catch us by surprise."

"According to what I see, troops should be dispatched to Jiuyuan immediately, and heavy guards should be placed on the border to prevent sudden attacks by the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu."

Civil servants and military generals expressed their opinions one after another. Ying Zheng couldn't make a decision for a while, so he looked at Li Xin, "General Li, you have been in the Northland for a long time, what is your opinion?"

Li Xin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, no matter whether you want to fight the Donghu or the Yuezhi, the battle line is too long, which will be extremely detrimental to our army's mobilization. If you have to choose between the Donghu and the Yuezhi, I think it's better to fight the Yuezhi first." good."

"The Donghu people have already learned their lesson in Xianyang. Their harassment was just to vent their anger, and they did not dare to go deep into the hinterland of our Great Qin. But the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu are not. Once they unite, they are very likely to attack the Hetao area. Offensive!"

Wang Ben followed closely, "Yes, Your Majesty, General Meng Tian fought against the Huns and took away the Hetao area from the Huns, causing them to lose the place to herd their horses. They will definitely not be willing to give up."

"To deal with opponents like the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi, you must beat them painfully, otherwise you will be like tarsal maggots, unable to get rid of them!"

Soon, the opinions in the imperial study became one-sided, and everyone believed that the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu should be attacked first.

But Ying Zheng has always been very serious. Obviously, the opinions of civil and military officials have not moved Ying Zheng.

Seeing Ying Zheng's silence, the officials in the imperial study finally realized that their Majesty might have made a decision long ago, so the entire hall quickly fell into silence.

After a while, Ying Zheng raised his head slowly, and said in a deep voice, "I think Donghu should be hit first!"

Hearing Ying Zheng's decision, the officials immediately discussed it, some supported it and some opposed it. Zhao Yi's heartfelt voice also rang in Ying Zheng's mind.

[Fuck, why did the old thing go with me this time?He actually wanted to hit Donghu too! 】

[That's right, it's right to fight the Donghu, it's not worthwhile to fight the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu! 】

Um?Ying Zheng was a little dazed. He didn't expect Zhao Yi to agree with his approach. In Ying Zheng's impression, Zhao Yi's opinions were always different from his. But what happened today? He actually supported him Views!

So Ying Zheng was very curious about Zhao Yi's attitude, so he didn't bother to listen to the courtiers' discussions.

[Actually, the threat of the Yuezhi to Daqin is not as strong as that of the Donghu. The Yuezhi is actually a strong outsider, and it can be seen from their joint troops with the Xiongnu. 】

【The period when the Yue clan was powerful is over. Now they are just enjoying what their ancestors left, and sooner or later they will be eaten up by the Xiongnu. 】

[But the Donghu is different. The Donghu has been a serious problem at the border since the Spring and Autumn Period. Whether it was the former Yan Kingdom or the Zhao Kingdom, their famous generals Le Yi and Li Mu cannot solve the Donghu once and for all. They can only build the Great Wall for defense. 】

[From this, it can be seen that Donghu's combat power is very extraordinary. Once they have tasted the sweetness, they will treat Daqin like a leek. In Xianyang City before, the gang of Donghu people didn't see their faces. ? 】

Ying Zheng listened carefully and was shocked at the same time. Since he ordered the killing of all Donghu people in Xianyang City, he has sent black ice warriors to conduct an all-round investigation on Donghu.

But until now, the news obtained by the Black Ice Warrior basically coincides with what Zhao Yi said.
