Chapter 898 Qin State is very confident, Qi State makes soy sauce
Ying Zichu couldn't wait to speak, "Wang Jian, tell me, what exactly should I do?"
The other Qin ministers also looked at Wang Jian in shock, especially Lu Buwei, and almost even stared out their eyes.
Wang Jian smiled and said, "Actually, my answer is very simple, because the main general who led the Zhao army to Hedong this time has been confirmed, it is Lian Po!"
Ying Zichu blinked and came to her senses: "So what you mean is, can you defeat Lian Po?"
Wang Jian nodded seriously: "If General Meng Ao and his ministers join forces, Lian Po will definitely be defeated."
After hearing Wang Jian’s words, Lu Buwei…restless.
At this moment, Lu Buwei even wanted to laugh a little.
I originally thought you, Wang Jian, could have a good idea, but now, that's it?
Although Lian Po did win many defeats in the past, you, Wang Jian, never won when you faced Zhao State.
Who gives you confidence?
So Lu Buwei spoke.
"King, the old minister thinks that General Wang Jian's self-confidence is very good.
Our Daqin has indeed been suppressed by Zhao in the past few years, but we cannot easily give up our Daqin self-esteem and confidence. We must believe that we can give Zhao people a headache!"
Lu Buwei was passionate, which made everyone present look at him, and even Wang Jian was a little surprised.
Wang Jian and Lu Buwei are actually not very familiar with each other.
Ying Zichu smiled and nodded, "It's great, what you want is this ambition.
But then again, how do you want to defeat Lian Po, General Wang Jian?"
Wang Jian said: "King, there is a saying that "weapons have no constant momentum, water has no constant form."
I do have some plans now, but what to do depends on the situation on the battlefield.
So now the king asks the ministers, but they cannot answer.
I can only say that I will do my best to fight for the king.”
When Ying Zichu heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
For Ying Zichu, of course, he hoped to hear an exciting war plan immediately.
But Ying Zichu was also very clear that what Wang Jian said was fine.
In conquering other countries, you can indeed plan a strategy in advance, but now you are discussing the tactics of a specific war. This kind of thing is indeed impossible to explain clearly before the war begins.
To put it bluntly, it is still uncertain where the battle will break out. There are ways to play on the mountain, the ways to play on the river, and the ways to play on the plains are plains. It is hard to say.
So Ying Zichu said, "Okay, then we will use General Meng Ao as the main general and General Wang Jian as the deputy general. I will give you all my troops. This time you must show the might of the Qin Dynasty!"
Wang Jian and Meng Ao were overjoyed and received the order at the same time.
A moment later, in the carriage leaving the palace, Mao Sui asked Lu Buwei a question: "Why did you support Wang Jian just now?"
Lu Buwei touched his beard and smiled: "This Wang Jian was kicked in the brain. He thinks he can defeat General Lian Po?
Then let him go."
Mao Sui frowned and said, "I have some contact with Wang Jian. I feel that he is a more talented person."
Lu Buwei snorted and sneered: "What can a waste who is defeated repeatedly when facing Zhao State?
Don't worry, Qin State cannot win this battle!"
The capital of Qi State, Linzi.
King Qi sat on the throne, surrounded by two women. The hall was filled with women's makeup and the aroma of fine wine.
"Master, let's drink it."
"Master, have another cup."
In the soft and gentle words, the King of Qi was a little lost in himself.
In front of the King of Qi, several dancers were dancing gracefully, with their dances very passionate and unrestrained, making people's blood rush, and they felt like they were ready to move.
Spraying alcohol, King Qi smiled at Hou Sheng not far away and said, "Hou Xiang, don't say anything, this dancer from Handan is just excited!"
Hou Sheng also drank a lot, but he still calmed down and laughed: "What the king said is that dancers from other countries really don't have this taste!"
The King of Qi said hummingly: "My brother-in-law, I have been against Da Qi for so many years, and finally did something human resources!"
The brother-in-law mentioned by King Qi is of course Zhao Kuo, Wu Xinjun of Zhao Guo.
That's right, these Handan dancers were all given by Zhao Kuo, and were sent by the envoy of Zhao who had just arrived. They were definitely the most exquisite Handan dancers.
Hou Sheng thought for a while and said, "King, what do you think about what the envoy of Zhao State said?"
When the King of Qi heard this, he frowned slightly and said with some displeasure: "At this time, do you have to talk about state affairs?"
Drinking without talking about state affairs is the custom of the King of Qi.
Hou Sheng said helplessly: "King, it's not the old minister that I have to talk about. It's really the envoys of other countries that are urging me to be tight. I block the old minister's door every day and want to reply."
When the King of Qi heard this, he was helpless: "Do you tell me about these guys, do you have to fight every day?
I can’t let me live a few days of peace and well!”
King Qi is really annoyed.
For him, this kind of life of living a life of debauchery is the best way to soothe his inner emptiness. The feeling of worrying about death every day in war is really bad.
Hou Sheng thought for a while and said, "If the king is just worried about this, then the old minister thinks that we can actually remain neutral and let them fight to death by themselves."
“Keep neutral?”
King Qi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Tell me carefully!"
Hou Sheng said, "Think about it, our Qi State has not participated in wars in recent years, but to be honest, there are not many wars that can give us a advantage.
Instead of consuming national strength in vain, it is better to wait for them to get a result by themselves. We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Moreover, in order not to participate in the war, Zhao State sent a large sum of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as beauty.
The king might as well let Zhao State get a little more blood, which can be regarded as making up for the losses caused by the treasury of our Qi State by the Zhao people.
In this way, our Qi State not only preserves its strength, but also can watch the power of other countries be consumed. Wouldn’t this kill two birds with one stone?”
King Qi pondered for a while, suddenly slapped the table and burst into laughter.
“It makes sense, it makes sense.
Then do this, and tell all the messengers in Linzi City that I won’t play with them this time, so I will let them do whatever they should do.”
Listening to King Qi's answer, Hou Sheng's mouth also involuntarily flashed with a smile.
The reason why Hou Sheng helped Zhao speak like this was certainly not because he was objective and neutral, but because he received a promise from the envoy of Zhao.
As long as Hou Sheng can speak for Zhao this time, the wealth and property that Hou Sheng was taken away in the Battle of Linzi will be returned within one year!
