Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

At the beginning of the eleventh year of the Qin Dynasty, Yang Ming officially returned to Xianyang. However, before Yang Ming returned home, he was intercepted by the palace envoys from Xianyang Palace. When Yang Ming came to Xianyang Palace, he found that not only the people here were With me, before I arrived, Xiong Qi, Wang Jian, and Li Xin were already here. Of course, there was also General Huanjue who didn't know how long he could stay in office.

What is rare is that Lu Buwei, who is the prime minister, is not here. During the few months when Yang Ming was campaigning against Chu, a lot of things obviously happened in Xianyang City. A king who monopolized power could accommodate the prime minister. , but there is no room for powerful ministers.

However, these have nothing to do with Yang Ming. Although he has some friendship with Lu Buwei, it is nothing more. Moreover, in Yang Ming's view, it is almost time for Lu Buwei to retire after the Qin Wangzheng came to power. Now Lianzhan If you don't go, you will have committed a big taboo. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, even if there is no rebellion in Lao'ai, you may not be able to protect yourself.

"The Captain of the Guards will go home for a while. There are still some things that need to be discussed by the Captain of the Guards." Seeing that Yang Ming had arrived, Qin Wangzheng took the initiative to speak.

At this time, Yang Ming's eyes have also fallen on the giant map hanging behind Qin Wangzheng. The curves are connected and it is difficult to understand clearly. The graphics are extremely complicated. If an outsider looks at it, he will probably faint. , and it’s hard to see why.

But Yang Ming naturally saw clearly that the land of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei was, more accurately, the Zhao Kingdom area north of the river.

In the next few years, Qin's only goal is Zhao. Eliminating Zhao, the biggest obstacle in Qin's path to unifying the world, is the most important thing for Qin in the next few years.

Of course, Yang Ming would not take the courtesy from Qin Wangzheng as true, so he still bowed down and sat down. Regarding Zhao, he had long expected that except for the final battle to destroy Zhao, he would probably have no chance to take action. .

In the original historical trajectory, Wang Jian had already accumulated military merits and gradually rose to a high position. However, due to the existence of Yang Ming, the opportunities that should have been for Wang Jian have all fallen to Yang Ming, making Wang Jian more powerful than Wang Jian. In the original time and space, the current military qualifications are still a little low. If the Qin Dynasty intends to reuse Wang Jian, it needs to provide Wang Jian with enough opportunities so that Wang Jian can replace Huan Yan's current position as general.

The Zhao State's city on the south bank of the Zhang River was a place where Wang Jian could achieve military exploits.

"Last year's joint battle with Wei and Chu to attack Chu has almost solved the troubles of attacking Zhao. It will not happen again in the battle of Zhao's capital when the Wei and Chu allied forces assisted Zhao. However, although Chu and Wei have already broken up, they have not been able to do so for several years. Years later, it may not be possible to abandon the past grudges and unite again, so how long the favorable situation can last is a question, maybe only three to five years." Qin Wangzheng said slowly.

"How to conquer Zhao State in three to five years, I still need your advice and suggestions to help me complete this matter." Qin Wangzheng continued.

In the entire hall, only Qin Wangzheng's voice was echoing. When Qin Wangzheng finished speaking, his eyes circled around everyone, and finally fell on Yang Ming. These civil and military officials from Qin State The ministers, including Qin Wangzheng, were waiting for Yang Ming, not because of Yang Ming's reputation, but because this matter required Yang Ming to take the initiative to recommend Wang Jian.

After all, among the current Qin army, apart from Huan Jue, who has a precarious position and has already known this, Yang Ming has the highest status. For things like attacking Zhao, if Yang Ming is directly bypassed, After all, something is wrong. When an army goes to war, it is not only the king who chooses the generals, but also the soldiers who choose the generals. An excellent general should make the king feel at ease and the soldiers trust him.

Although Wang Jian can now convince Qin Wangzheng, for the soldiers, Wang Jian is obviously not as good as Yang Ming.

Therefore, even if Qin Wangzheng and Yang Ming had reached a tacit understanding before, Qin Wangzheng still needed Yang Ming's help if he wanted to promote Wang Jian, at least in the current situation.

"Your Majesty, you can use two years to capture Zhao State's city on the south bank of Zhang River, push the battle line to one bank of Zhang River, and then use the previous strategy of dividing the north and south to attack Zhao State in two years." Seeing the King of Qin. General Zheng turned his attention to himself, and Yang Ming, who knew Qin Wangzheng's intention, took the initiative to say that this was some kind of tacit understanding reached between him and Qin Wangzheng.

"Who do you think the captain of the guard army can take charge of this matter for the general?" Seeing that Yang Ming was very cooperative with him, King Qin was very satisfied. With him and Yang Ming taking action to promote Wang Jian to the throne, there was no suspense at this time. As for Huan He was originally pushed by Qin Wangzheng. It was precisely because of this that Qin Wangzheng realized that while exercising the royal power, he also needed to obtain support from all parties as much as possible, so that he could be more stable. Although the royal power It is the supreme right in the world, but it is not omnipotent.

"General Wang Jian." Yang Ming, who knew what Qin Wangzheng wanted to hear, said that answer.

In fact, the King of Qin's government was completely overthinking. The King of Qin was able to accommodate Yang Ming and Wang Jian at the same time, and the military merit of conquering the six kingdoms was not something that one person could enjoy alone. Moreover, in the eyes of others, it might be a country-destroying army of infinite value. Gong is just ordinary in Yang Ming. Although Yang Ming respects this world enough, deep down in his heart, he has a sense of superiority that only he can possess, and even he himself is not aware of it.

That sense of superiority is not because of Yang Ming's arrogance, but because when a person's sight can span the distance of time and space, the vision it brings unconsciously affects his character.

It is precisely because of this that, in the eyes of some people, Yang Ming, who was supposed to be a military strategist, has a deep Taoist flavor in him, and the Taoist elements in him come from this. After all, nowadays, whether it is Taoist nature The Second Ren Sect is still an independent Yin Yang family. What it pursues seems to be illusory to others and even to themselves, but Yang Ming can already get a glimpse of the truth.

"I think so too. I will leave it to you, General Wang, to extract Zhao's cities on the south bank of the Zhang River in the next two years." Qin Wangzheng, who had received Yang Ming's recognition, looked at Wang Jian and said.

"I will live up to the king's expectations." Wang Jian stood up and bowed heavily.

"Li Xin, you are the deputy general." Qin Wangzheng looked at Li Xin again. Li Xin, the most trusted official around him before he took office, except for Yang Ming, a person who does not belong to this era, He is already the best among the younger generation. More importantly, Li Xin is recognized by Qin Wangzheng.

"promise."

When Yang Ming walked out of Xianyang Palace, it was already dusk. After saying goodbye to Wang Jian and Li Xin in front of the palace gate, Xiong Qi followed him.

"Brother Yang Xian is looking for some leisure time. Is this because he feels comfortable at home and doesn't want to go out to fight?" Xiong Qi, who was walking side by side with Yang Ming, said with a smile.

Because of the incident of rescuing Xiong Qi's wife, the relationship between Yang Ming and Xiong Qi was pretty good. Later, because of Mi Lian recognizing Yang Ming as her adoptive father, the relationship between the two families naturally got closer. However, knowing that Xiong Qi Yang Ming, who doesn't know when this guy will have anti-Qin thoughts, can only maintain the relationship between the two families to this point. As for the deeper ones, forget it.

"Mr. Changping still understands me. How can I be willing to sleep in the open air and bleed on the battlefield as a newlywed?" Yang Ming said bluntly.

"Sure enough, sure enough, this is what you really think. People in the world only know that love is hard to argue with, but they don't know that what they think is of infinite value and worth fighting for is actually just ordinary for you." Xiong Qi smiled and said with a look of envy in his eyes. Not everyone can be as casual as Yang Ming.

How many people in the world can do whatever they want?

"It's not that simple. If I don't covet fame and wealth, and don't seek the presence of dignitaries, why would I come to Qin? But my ideal is just this, so it is easy to be satisfied. But Lord Changping, what are you pursuing?" Yang Ming asked back and looked at Xiong Qi. When did this guy decide to rebel against Qin? Yang Ming was very curious.

As members of the royal family, Xiong Qi and Yan Dan are similar people. Moreover, when it comes to the wonders of life experience, Xiong Qi is even more superior to Yan Dan. Both of them have to face the almost invincible force from the Qin State. They were all under pressure to struggle in the face of the danger of national subjugation. However, in the struggle, one became a joke, and the other made Qin feel the pain. The Qinglong Project even disturbed the Qin State for more than ten years. peaceful.

Compared with Yan Dan's high ambitions, Xiong Qike is much more powerful.

"Me? Just hope that the lintel does not fall." Xiong Qi muttered, but it was really hard to tell whether the lintel he was talking about was the Changping Lord's Mansion in Xianyang or the Chu Palace in Shouchun.

"It seems that Lord Changping has his own troubles."

"How can there be no troubles in life? However, as long as there are more happy things than troublesome things, life will be complete." Xiong Qi sighed. People who think too much are always accompanied by troubles, and he His identity destined him not to think too much.

The only response to Xiong Qi was Yang Ming's noncommittal.

"Speaking of which, an interesting thing happened before." Xiong Qi changed the subject.

"Let's talk about it." Yang Ming took over the words.

"This matter can really only be discussed with you." Xiong Qi recalled, "Do you know, dear brother, who was the first person Lian'er called out?"

"It's either father or mother, so there won't be any surprises, right?"

"It's the foster father." Xiong Qi said with a strange look on his face.

"This?" Yang Ming was also speechless for a moment, but others had misunderstood something.

"Speaking of which, Lian'er is really close to his wise brother." Xiong Qidao, of course he didn't misunderstand anything, he just found it interesting.
