Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

After a while, the queen led the palace people out of the palace and returned to her own palace.

As soon as she returned to her own palace, the queen stepped back and summoned a young eunuch, and said in a deep voice, "Go and tell the general manager that the matter is over."

"No need." A voice suddenly sounded, and then a court chief appeared in front of the queen: "I have seen the queen."

The queen glanced at the court chief in front of her, her pair of slender red phoenix eyes slightly wrinkled, and said slowly: "I have already told the king all of your words, are you really sure that this will have an effect on Daqin's war?"

The head of the court nodded and said: "The queen must also know that all the countries are now destroyed. Looking at the world, only Daqin can stop Zhao's wolf ambition. But Wang Jian is now timid at the front line. If this continues, he will only miss the opportunity , just like King Han did at the time. For the current plan, only by taking advantage of Zhao Jun’s unsteady foothold and catching Li Mu by surprise, can we hope to defeat Li Mu and win a chance for Daqin.”

The queen snorted, waved her hands and said, "Don't talk about those things, I don't understand. What I want to know is, if you wait until the Great Qin regains the Central Plains, are you really willing to help the Han family restore the country?"

In fact, this was the issue that the queen was most concerned about, and it was also the condition that moved the queen to go to Qin Wangchu to say such a thing.

As a daughter of the Han royal family, although she is said to be a native of Qin after marrying, Queen Qin also does not want her mother country to end up being destroyed.

If there is any country that the queen hates most now, it must be the country of Zhao that destroyed South Korea.

Now there is a strategy that can defeat Zhao and at the same time allow South Korea to have the hope of restoring the country, so Queen Qin will naturally do it.

The steward smiled and nodded and said: "Naturally. Please rest assured, Queen, Wu Chengjun has already promised that as long as he can defeat Zhao Guoren this time and recover Hangu Pass, then the next time when Xinzheng is recovered, it will be the first time for the Han clan to re-establish the country." time!"

The steward walked out of the queen's palace, returned to his residence, and then called a confidant, and threw him a token: "Ru quickly leave the palace and go to Wu Chengjun's mansion, and tell him that the matter has been successful."

After his confidant left, the manager looked at the sky outside, heaved a long sigh of relief, took off his clothes, and lay down on his couch.

The manager is almost 60 years old this year, and he doesn't have a good life for a few years. As an eunuch, he also knows that he is destined to have no blood to pass on.

But fortunately, he still has an elder brother, and the eldest son born to his elder brother is quite up-to-date. Over the years, he has become a moderate official in Qin State's political arena.

Such a modest official must not be as attractive as the prefect of Berkshire.

"I heard that the Bashu Basin is Daqin's new granary. If Mr. Wu Cheng gets my nephew there, even if things go wrong in the future, my nephew should be able to retreat unscathed, right? Besides, Daqin may not necessarily lose to Zhao Guo!"

With a beautiful dream, the manager fell asleep deeply.

Chapter 9 Sima Xin (first update)

Xianyang, Wu Chengjun Lu Buwei's residence.

Lu Buwei is entertaining a very special guest.

"General Sima, please." Lu Buwei raised the wine bar in his hand and said to the guests in front of him with a smile.

Sitting opposite Lu Buwei was a white-haired old man who looked to be at least 60 years old, but his waist was straight and he was very energetic.

This person is none other than Sima Xin, the younger brother of Sima Cuo, the former general of the Qin State, and now the Patriarch of the Sima Clan in the Qin State family.

Sima Xin was a general in his brother Sima Cuo's department in his early years.

After Sima Cuo's death, due to the rise of the new generation of generals such as Sima Geng and Sima Jin in the Sima family, Sima Xin also retreated to the second line, concentrating on being an official in Xianyang, and at the same time cultivating the new generation of Sima family members.

The Sima Clan used to be a prominent military clan in the Qin State. Although it has been quieted down a lot over the years due to the death of Sima Geng and other Mesozoic generals, in general, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it still has a place in the Qin Army. Great influence.

It is precisely because of this influence that even Lu Buwei, who is the prime minister, is very polite when facing Sima Xin, the head of the Sima clan.

Sima Xin smiled slightly, raised the wine cup in his hand, and said to Lu Buwei, "Wu Chengjun, please."

The two raised their heads at the same time and drank the wine in one gulp.

Lu Buwei smiled and said to Sima Xin: "The reason why I invited General Sima here today is actually to ask for something."

For Sima Xin, Lu Buwei also worked hard to investigate. For example, Sima Xin prefers to be called General Sima rather than Doctor Sima. Lu Buwei knows the details clearly.

Sima Xin showed a very modest smile on his old face, looking completely harmless to humans and animals: "I don't know what's wrong with Wu Chengjun? Let's not hide it from Wu Chengjun, Sima's talent has withered over the years, it is not as good as before I don't dare to guarantee whether I can help Wu Chengjun."

What Sima Xin said was really true.

In the Battle of Changping, the death of Sima Geng, who had been recognized as the next generation head of the Sima family, was a very big blow to the Sima family.

And in that battle, the Sima clan lost not only Sima Geng, but also many Sima clan elites around Sima Geng.

Since the Battle of Changping, the Sima clan, which could have been regarded as the number one military family in Qin, began to decline, and only then did the Bai and Wang clans catch up from behind.

Lu Buwei smiled and said: "I dare not say anything else, but this matter, only General Sima can really help."

A gleam flashed in Sima Xin's old eyes, and he said slowly, "Really? Then I don't know what exactly Wu Chengjun said?"

Speaking of it, the political stance of the Sima clan has always been at odds with Lu Buwei.

The reason is also very simple. The Sima family is a military family dominated by soldiers and belongs to the radical main combat faction, while Lu Buwei is the main peace faction within the Qin State. Naturally, the two cannot piss in the same pot.

If it weren't for Lu Buwei's support from Qin Wangchu's trust, Sima Xin might not have agreed to attend today's banquet.

Lu Buwei restrained the smile on his face, and began to ask seriously: "I don't know what General Sima thinks about the current battle situation in Hexi?"

After a pause, Lu Buwei said again: "Please rest assured, the general, today's words will never be passed on to the six ears."

Sima Xin glanced at Lu Buwei, pondered for a while and then slowly said: "To be honest, Mr. Wu Cheng, in my opinion, the battle situation in Hexi can be described in one word."

"What word?" Lu Buwei asked.

Sima Xin let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's hard, it's hard!"

Difficult, this is Sima Xin's answer.

Lu Buwei nodded and said, "I don't know if General Sima has seen the power of Zhao Jun's cavalry before?"

Sima Xin snorted, and said: "Although this is old, when Zhao Jun entered Xianyang, he also killed a few heads of Zhao people. But to be honest, the prestige of Zhao Jun's cavalry is indeed the highest among all countries, especially It’s that armored cavalry, which almost destroys the world when it charges, making it daunting, let alone an enemy.”

As he spoke, Sima Xin couldn't help showing a bit of fear on his old face.

Sima Xin is a person who has led soldiers to fight, and he has also witnessed how Zhao Jun's armored cavalry was led by Li Mu to step down the long street and go straight into Miyagi. He was very impressed by the power of the armored cavalry .

Lu Buwei said in a deep voice: "This is the problem. As far as I know, on the front line of Xihe, the Zhao army is now attacking our army's position with thunderstorms day and night, and our army's defense line is already somewhat difficult to sustain. Now this In general, it is because the Zhao cavalry never went south, so it is not that bad. A few days ago, Zhao Jun’s cavalry vanguard general Yi Qusheng led his army into Guanzhong. General Wang Jian, Great Qin is in danger!"

Sima Xin listened quietly to Lu Buwei's words, but did not speak.

At that time, Sima Xin was one of the ministers of Qin State who were present when Lu Buwei and Cai Ze were arguing. He was actually no stranger to the theory thrown out by Lu Buwei.

So Sima Xin was still waiting for Lu Buwei's next words.

Lu Buwei glanced at Sima Xin, and suddenly said: "General Sima Xin, I heard that the general has a grandson named Sima Xing, who is quite skilled in martial arts, and now serves in the Xianyang Army."

Sima Xin's face changed slightly, and he said: "My little grandson is unworthy, he is not favored by the king, he can't go to the battlefield to kill enemies for the Qin Dynasty, but he can only stay in Xianyang City to waste time, it really makes me dissatisfied."

He said he was dissatisfied, but Sima Xin didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face.

Lu Buwei sneered secretly in his heart. He had already investigated clearly that this Sima Xing was actually Sima Xin who wanted to be the successor of the Sima family after his death, so he used various means to prevent Sima Xing from going to the front line, so as not to repeat the same situation. The mistakes of Sima Geng.
