Xianyang, Qin Dynasty palace, Shangshu.

Qin Yiren wore an imperial crown and an imperial robe, sat upright on a short table, dealing with official duties, with a very focused expression.

Huang Shigong, Wei Liao and Han Fei were there to help, and their expressions were also focused.

At this moment, the Chief Secretary Huanxing looked solemn, and walked quickly, saying, "Report to you, news from Shandong."

"Oh." Qin Yiren put down the bamboo slips in his hand, raised his head, looked at Huan Xing's solemn expression, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Is there any unfavorable news?"

"Your wise." Huan Xing praised and hurriedly reported the truth: "Lu Zhonglian ran around and promoted the alliance. Now, the five countries of Chu, Yan, Han, Qi and Wei have sent a total of 550,000 troops, led by Xinling Jun, and headed straight to Hangu Pass..."

"He Zong?" Qin Yiren raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "Since Su Qin and He Zong have been together for decades, what happened to Da Qin? He Zong has been defeated by Da Qin for so many times."

The attack on Qin State by Hezong was not on military, but on political and diplomatic relations.

Just talking about military terms, Hezong did not have any threat to Qin. Although Shandong countries repeatedly gave him to Hangu Pass, they were defeated by Qin and suffered heavy casualties.

However, the threat to Qin in diplomatic relations and politics is great. Shandong can unite to deal with Qin. Not to mention anything else, just saying that Shandong does not trade with Qin is enough for Qin to bear. Perhaps other goods, Qin does not care about Qin, and salt is enough to make Qin worried.

Salt is a strategic resource, and people have to eat salt. If you don’t eat salt, you will have diseases of one kind and another. How terrible it is for a country. Not to mention, in the warring times, the importance of manpower does not need to be mentioned. If the whole country has no salt, it will be disastrous for Qin.

It is precisely because the Hezong posed such a great threat to Qin in politics and diplomatic relations that Zhang Yi was appointed as prime minister and proposed a alliance to break Su Qin's Hezong.

"What the emperor said is very reasonable, but this time the coalition forces are different from any one." Huan Xing was very angry and said, "The Qin Dynasty lost two kings in a row, and there were changes in the elbows and armpits, and the countries joined forces to join forces. This was very unfavorable to the Qin Dynasty."

"Yes." Qin Yiren nodded slightly, agreed with Huan Xing's statement, and sneered: "They can choose the opportunity."

"Xinling Jun even threatened to break through Hangu Pass and wipe out the Qin Dynasty." Huan Xing's tone was a little high, a little sharp and harsh, with an angry look on his face.

Xinlingjun's words were too arrogant, and no one felt uncomfortable when they heard it. Qin Yiren snorted coldly and said, "Arrogant. I haven't hit Wei Wuji for a long time. He has healed his scar and forgot the pain! Huan Xing passed the order and asked the Prime Minister, General, Le Yi, former general, and National Guard to come to discuss major events."

If Qin Yiren, the six-nation coalition forces, was not caring about it at other times, but the matter was a bit tricky at the moment, because Qin lost two kings in a row. This was not good for Qin and had to discuss it with Fan Sui and the others.

Huan Xing received the order and went to handle it immediately.

"What do you think is appropriate to deal with this matter?" Qin Yiren asked, rushing to Huangshi Gong, Wei Liao and Han Fei.

He was planning to discuss it in a small way before Fan Sui and the others arrived and come up with a charter.

"Your Majesty. The land of Shandong is provoking the Qin Dynasty. You must not indulge it. You must hit the head-on!" Huang Shigong thought for a moment, and his eyes flashed.

"That's right, if you don't do this, you can't punish the land of Shandong severely." Wei Liao also agreed with this.

"Just beat him hard." Han Fei's words were a little cold.

As he was talking, Fan Sui, Bai Qi, Le Yi, Wang Jian, Meng Wu and others arrived and after seeing Qin Yiren, Qin Yiren asked them to sit down and talk about the matter, saying, "What do you think should be done?"

"Your Majesty, I think you should guard Hangu Pass carefully. If the food and grass in the countries are not enough, you will automatically retreat." Bai Qi was the first to express his opinion.

"Oh." As a general, Bai Qi has always been invincible, but this time he advocated defending Hangu Pass. This was really surprising. A shocking sound sounded, and Qin Yiren and his friends gathered on Bai Qi together.

"General, why did you say this?" Qin Yiren was quite puzzled.

"Your Majesty, if the Qin generals attacked hard and hit the head-on, they would definitely make the Shandong countries frightened." Bai Qi looked angry and said, "But the time is wrong. The Qin Dynasty lost two kings in three days, which will be a very heavy blow to the morale of the military. If it fights head-on with Shandong, it may be unfavorable to the Qin."

"Yes." Qin Yiren nodded lightly and nodded slightly.

Bai Qi had a good vision and was justified. King Zhao of Qin and Ying Zhu died one after another, which had a heavy blow to the morale of Qin. When fighting, it depends on the solid morale of the army and high morale. Without the morale of the army, how can we fight this battle?

It is the safest way to stick to Hangu Pass, because Hangu Pass is tall and thick, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the troops of the various countries are difficult to break. As long as they defend Hangu Pass, the coalition forces of the various countries will be destroyed because of excessive food and grass consumption, and they will retreat without attacking.

Since Su Qin proposed the strategy of joining the throne, the six-nation alliance has always attacked Qin, and Qin has almost always implemented this set of tactics, which can be said to be invincible.

"The general is wrong!" However, surprisingly, as soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, former general Wang Jian opposed it.

Moreover, Wang Jian's words are very straightforward. It is very rare to say that Bai Qi's words are wrong. You should know that Bai Qi is a famous general. He has outstanding military talents. His words are authority. Everyone has to think about it. It has not been wrong for Wang Jian to say his words directly like him. Bai Qi has not had many times in his life.

Qin Yiren, Fan Sui, Le Yi, Meng Wu, Huang Shigong, Wei Liao, Han Fei and others were very surprised, all of whom were wide open and looked at Wang Jian.

"Yeah." A light uh from Bai Qi's nostrils, with a look of surprise.

In Bai Qi's memory, it was the first time in his life that he had heard someone refute his military opinion like this, and even King Zhao of Qin had never spoken so bluntly.

"Wang Jian, the war is fierce and dangerous. This is the safest way. You are young, don't be too reckless." Bai Qi frowned and said in a deep voice.

Bai Qi fought a battle for a lifetime and had never suffered a defeat. He was qualified to teach Wang Jian a lesson.

"Although the general's words are reasonable, he only saw the fierce battle, but he did not see the provocation of the four joint forces of Chu, Yan, Qi and Wei on the Qin Dynasty this time." Wang Jian said with a thorn, saying, "This battle cannot be determined by the battlefield, but also outside the battlefield. The Qin Dynasty lost two kings in a row, and the two kings had not yet been buried. The four kings joined forces to fight against Qin. If they could not attack hard, if they could not make them scared, what is the power of the Qin Dynasty?"

Bai Qi and Wang Jian are both geniuses at the level of "God of War", but the two are different. Bai Qi has nothing to say about war. It is a victory in every battle, no defeat, and he deserves the reputation of "God of War". However, Bai Qi's political vision is not satisfactory.

In contrast to Bai Qi, Wang Jian's success is not only due to his extraordinary military talent, but also his extraordinary political wisdom and political vision that is difficult to reach.

If we look at it militarily alone, Bai Qi is right and there is no problem. The problem is that war is another continuation of politics, and we cannot just focus on the battlefield. We must also see problems outside the battlefield. Bai Qi did not see problems outside the battlefield, but Wang Jian saw them.

The bodies of King Zhao of Qin and Ying Zhu were not cold and had not yet been buried. The four countries of Chu, Yan, Qi and Wei joined forces to fight against Qin. This was a provocation to Qin. Qin must be severely punished. This would not be able to expose Qin's prestige. This would not be able to show the strength of Qin.

In a word, this battle is not a military need, but a political need.

"It's reasonable." Qin Yiren and the others agreed in unison.

"Besides, if the king has just ascended the throne, Shandong will join forces to fight against Qin. If the Qin Dynasty cannot fight back hard, what is the power of the king?" Wang Jian considered the problem very comprehensively.

Qin Yiren had just ascended the throne. If he could not respond strongly to Shandong's provocation, the Shandong land would think that Qin Yiren could be bullied, and Qin's tough response was inevitable.

"Former General, although you are right, this matter can be suspended. As long as the ancestor is buried and the morale of the army stabilizes, the Qin Dynasty can get it back, so there is no need to hurry up." Although Bai Qi recognized Wang Jian's statement, he did not agree with Wang Jian's method of handling it, and said: "Don't be impatient when using troops."

"General, you are worried about the morale of the army, but there is a saying that 'The soldiers will win'..." Wang Jian still disagreed with Bai Qi's solution.

"The soldiers will win?" Bai Qi's mouth opened and he couldn't speak for a long time, his expression changed.

"Swish!" Bai Qi stood up suddenly, bowed deeply at Wang Jian, and said, "The former general said it was reasonable, Bai Qi was ashamed of himself, ashamed!"

Bai Qi is open-minded and once he realizes his shortcomings, he immediately admits his mistakes and admits himself worse than himself. This is not an exaggeration to praise him no matter how much.

"Haha!" Qin Yiren and the others burst into laughter.

Everyone's eyes were wandering around Wang Jian and Bai Qi, and they were very happy. Bai Qi was old and Qin was missing a general who could take important tasks. Now, Wang Jian showed his talents and made people feel disappointed. If you didn't say anything, Wang Jian would take over Bai Qi and take on important tasks, which made everyone very pleased.

Qin Yiren is the happiest. Qin Yiren had long known that Wang Jian would become the pillar of Qin, but he was still young and needed time to grow up. Now, Wang Jian can impress Bai Qi, which shows that Wang Jian's growth is enough to take on the heavy responsibility.

"No need to say anything, you know what Wang Jian said very well." Qin Yiren spoke slowly, with a smile on his face.

"Yes." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Wang Jian, you said, how should I fight this battle?" Qin Yiren asked.

"Your Majesty, I think this battle cannot be fought at Hangu Pass..." Wang Jian said astonishingly.

"Aren't you fighting in Hangu Pass?" Bai Qi asked in a daze.

Taking advantage of the advantages of Hangu Pass, consuming the coalition forces, acting at the camera, and attacking at the right time will definitely win a great victory. This is a good way. It is really surprising that Wang Jian actually said he was not fighting in Hangu Pass.

"That's right." Wang Jian emphasized the key points and said: "The Qin Dynasty should launch its elite soldiers and generals and attack decisively, and not let the coalition forces press down on Hangu Pass."
