In August, news came from the north that Wang Ben led 50,000 elite Qin troops to advance into Liaodong.

The remaining defeated generals of King Xi of Yan were no match for the Qin army at all. In less than three months, Wang Ben completely pacified Liaodong.

The war in the north was over, and now there was only the war in the Chu State in the south, which made Xianyang think about it.

"The news came back from the Qin and Chu front, Meng Tian successfully captured Xinyang, Xiang Yan defeated Ruyin, and wanted to capture Shouying, it should not be long."

Ganquan Palace, west of Xianyang, was built during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin. It is located on a high slope with a cool climate. The Qin kings of all dynasties come here to escape the summer every year in midsummer.

Ying Zheng was a workaholic, and the ministers in the court naturally followed him. Li Si was the court lieutenant and did not spend much effort on judicial work. Instead, he paid more attention to the military and national strategies in the court.

"The Chu State is too big, the Chu people are arrogant, but they are very tough. The Qin State needs to slowly plan it."

Wang Jian returned to Pinyang, Wang Ben, Qiang Sheng was in Yan State, Meng Wu was ill in bed, Xin Sheng was stationed in Wei territory, Yang Duanhe remained in Zhao territory, and the only representatives of the military were Wei Liao, the national lieutenant who remained in Xianyang.

Li Si smiled, but Wei Liao felt a little disgusted. Li Siming seemed to be saying good things for Meng Tian. A shrewd person could understand Li Si's thoughts of praising Meng Tian after a moment of thinking.

"The war in Yan State is over now, and the war to attack Chu will be delayed for a long time, which is not a solution. The pressure on Qin State is quite high..."

Li Si glanced at Ying Zheng on the throne and did not continue.

What about the right prime minister Wang Wan who was accompanying him.

The former right prime minister Wei Lin was old and officially retired last month. The left prime minister Wang Wan replaced Wei Lin as the right prime minister. The censor Feng Quji was promoted to the left prime minister and stayed in Xianyang.

When Qin State employs people, the monarch values ​​someone and often promotes them vigorously, but in general, it still requires a certain degree of qualifications.

Li Si and Ying Zheng were able to chat with him. Ying Zheng was willing to reuse Li Si. Li Si was not doing it step by step and endured his qualifications step by step.

"The army has not moved, food and grass will come first. The army has been abroad for a long time, and the domestic consumption is indeed quite large. If Meng Tian can end the war against Chu as soon as possible, Qin can rest as soon as possible."

After becoming the right prime minister and becoming the real leader of all officials, Wang Wan's role is gradually changing.

The generals led thousands of troops and horses, and the battlefield was rushing. The materials consumed were measured in a large amount. Food and food could be requisitioned from the old land of the six countries, and weapons, armor, weapons and crossbows needed to be transported from the Qin land to the front line.

The Lishan King Tomb that Ying Zheng is building has a huge project and requires a considerable manpower.

During the intensive and high-intensity war, the Qin people's nerves were tense. After a long time, they were a little tired.

Ying Zheng sat quietly on the throne and listened to the ministers' speeches one after another. Some advocated steady action, while others advocated speeding up the pace of destroying Chu.

The ministers have different views, and it is a good thing to argue. Han Feizi taught well that the king cannot easily express his inner thoughts to understand the thoughts of his subordinates.

Meng Tian persuaded Ying Zheng to use Han Wangan's life as a bargaining chip to exchange for Han Fei's surrender. Han Fei was unwilling to be an official, so he took the title of doctoral degree and was a free job. After Ying Zheng was free, he understood the way of being a king more deeply after communicating with Han Fei.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si slightly. Xunzi's two students, Han Fei, were talented, but a little paranoid. Ying Zheng would not let Han Fei take charge.

Li Si's political and argumentative talent is not as good as Li Si, but Li Si is an excellent minister. Li Si's dissatisfaction with Han Fei did not prevent him from adopting Han Fei's proposal.

"Let the Shangshu Pu Shebo go to Taihe with my will."

The court became quiet, and the ministers listened quietly to Ying Zheng's decision. Things that Ying Zheng made after he made a decision were generally difficult to change, and not everyone could do Mao Jiao.

Over the years, the Qin army has sharply attacked and destroyed the Warring States Period in Shandong. The arrogant side of Ying Zheng gradually emerged.

In the Qin army camp in Taihe City, Meng Tian saw the Shangshu Pushe Cai Bo wearing a fresh clothes and a crane crown, and quickly congratulated him.

"Congratulations to brother for his success!"

The Shangshu Pushe, as an adjutant of the Shangshu Ling, was responsible for drafting documents for the monarch. He often stayed with the monarch. His power was not obvious, but he was favored.

"I just want peace and stability, relaxation, and don't want to be a high-ranking official, so don't joke with me."

Cai Bo laughed and looked relaxed. When he stayed in the palace, he was cautious in his words and actions. There was no one else here except Meng Tian. Cai Bo felt very casual in his heart.

Meng Tian gave Cai Bo a blank look. The current Shangshu Pushe is just an inconspicuous sesame official, but as time goes by, the small Shangshu around the king will become an existence beyond the prime minister in the future.

The closer you are to the core of power, the easier it is to obtain power. Obviously, Cai Bo does not understand this truth.

The two of them exchanged some greetings, and after they sat down, Meng Tian asked, "What is your will to send you here?"

Cai Bo is in the palace and will definitely not come to Xianyang for no reason.

"The king asked me to ask you, can you destroy Chu within one year?"

Half a year ago, Cai Bo visited Chen County. At that time, the Chu army was coming in full force, and there were still remnants of Yan State in the north. Now that the Chu army is defeated, the Qin State is in a good situation. Of course, Xianyang hopes to end the war in Chu earlier.

According to Wei Liao's plan, only after conquering Chu, surrounding Qi on three sides and forcibly surrendering to Qi could it work.

"A one-year period?"

Meng Tian pondered, tapping his fingers on the table, and fell into thought.

In the original history, Qin State conquered and destroyed Chu State in the 25th year of King Ying Zheng of Qin, that is, 222 BC. Because of Meng Tian's arrival, Qin State's plan to conquer and destroy the six countries was much ahead of schedule.

Now is the 20th year of King Ying Zheng of Qin, five years ahead of the original history. Don’t underestimate these five years. If Ying Zheng had five years more, I don’t know how much he could do.

Will you arrange your affairs more safely?

"In a year, I will strive to capture Shouying."

Although the Chu State has a large territory, its essence is concentrated in the Huaihe River area near Shouying. Without Shouying, the Chu State will not have the chance to turn the tables.

The land of Jiangdong was originally the old land of Wu and Yue, and was developed earlier, but it is still not as good as the land of Huai and Si that is close to the Central Plains.

Ganluo's words to motivate Yue people and break into Jiangdong. The vitality of Jiangdong will inevitably be depleted.

"The capture of Shouying is similar to the destruction of Chu."

Cai Bo smiled and felt completely relieved. He was also worried that Meng Tian would stick to his opinion like Wang Jian.

This time, the king was unhappy, and the people in the court had to think of persuading the king to change generals.

The general led the army outside, and someone said some gossip behind him, which was impossible to avoid.

"I hope so!"

After seeing off Cai Bo, Meng Tian murmured leisurely: "Break through Shouying, there is also the Jiangnan area of ​​Chu, further south of the Jiangnan area, and the Baiyue area......"
