Chapter 353 Unification of the Two Qins (5)
Since Qin swept across the Central Plains, its national strength has become unprecedentedly powerful. If Ying Zheng could follow the established national policy step by step, no matter how hard he tried, he would not have reached the current stage. Now the entire Qin State is full of smoke. The Bai Qi army is like a firefighting team, exhausted from fighting in the south and north. However, even if he wiped out a city and land, as soon as he left, he would be rekindled and could never fundamentally solve the problem.
For the first time, Ying Zheng felt powerless. The army's all-out sharp blade was like falling into a quagmire and could no longer play its due role. Many times, Ying Zheng had to be vigilant to prevent them from causing chaos from within. And just when the Qin State was in chaos, Ying Guang's Later Qin finally took action.
As if it had been discussed, overnight, the life experience of the Later Qin King Ying Guang suddenly spread throughout the streets and alleys. Even the storyteller in the teahouse and the restaurant was telling it vividly, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. Immediately afterwards, the Later Qin army completed the overall dress-up, and even the military flag became the Qin army's battle flag.
This time, Ying Guang personally led the army, Dian Army was the vanguard in charge of the Molin Camp flag, Ao Lie took charge of the camp flag for the left wing, Fengzhuang commanded the Yuezhi cavalry to guard the right wing, and a total of 200,000 troops advanced to the Qin State.
"What did you say! Ying Guang's Later Qin army was almost in Xianyang?"
Ying Zheng was having breakfast when he learned the news. As soon as he heard Zhao Gao say this, he immediately swept the food on the table all over the floor!
"Where is the lonely border army! What about the lonely warrior? How could this traitor drive straight in!"
When Zhao Gao was furious when he saw Ying Zheng, he didn't dare to talk too much. He knelt on the ground with a thud and said tremblingly: "The Ying Guang traitor has regained the banner of my Great Qin and ordered my Qin border army as the son of King Wu. The guards there were originally fighting against the rebels. Later, for some reason, the border army and rebels all came to Ying Guang's command..."
"This is impossible! How could I, the soldiers of the Great Qin, be surrendered so easily! Are the heroic souls who died in battle in the past fake?!"
Looking at the angry Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao thought about it and then said in a low voice: "King, the generals of the army over there are the Montessori... "
"Mengshi! It's the Montessori again! Is there no backbone of my country except the Montessori? Also, what's wrong with those rebels?"
"This... King, I don't know..."
Zhao Gao could think clearly in his mind that some things could be said, and some things could never be said. If Ying Zheng had not been committed to burning books and burying scholars, offending all the people of the gentry and causing complaints, he would not have made a fuss like this. However, the king would never make mistakes, and some words would never be said.
In the residence of the Montessors, Montaigne sat around the main hall with his direct descendants. The old old Marquis Meng walked into the house with the help of his old servant. Seeing the house full of strong juniors, Mr. Meng narrowed his eyes and grinned with a few teeth, and said, "Are you all here? Let's sit there."
Montaigne helped the old marquis sit down and took the hand warmer next to him. After the winter, the old marquis's body became worse and worse. No matter what the weather was, the hand warmer was inseparable.
"Well, Otaner, let's talk about the current situation."
After hearing the old marquis, Mengtian stood up and said to the children in the hall: "Everyone should know about the Later Qin army. As for Ying Guang's identity, it is absolutely true. The old marquis can testify, so you don't have to doubt it. In addition, Ying Guang has a lot of relationship with our Meng family and was once the direct descendant of my Meng family. However, the king was very repulsive of the Later Qin, and even wanted to kill him quickly. Ying Guang was not simple, and he came even more powerful today, so I want to hear everyone's opinions."
Everyone in the hall looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke first. Montaigne was not in a hurry and just watched quietly there.
After a while, a middle-aged man took the lead and said, "Head of the family, my family's ancestors, must always be loyal to the Qin royal family. Since that's the case, I think today should follow the will of the king and lead troops to resist Ying Guang's invasion!"
Montaigne shook his head and took the conversation and said, "I said before that Ying Guang's identity is also the royal family of the Qin Kingdom and the loyal object of my Meng family. However, it is the king. After Lu Buwei's death, the bloodline dispute intensified. Although the burning of books and burying scholars in the end suppressed the opposition, the subsequent impact could not be eliminated by simply suppressing it. The smoke everywhere is proof."
"What do you mean?"
Old Marquis Meng closed his eyes slightly and asked unconsciously: "Do you want to support the king or welcome Ying Guang? Now is the time to make a choice."
Montaigne looked at the people in the hall with a bright look and said loudly: "My Meng family is loyal to the Qin royal family for many years and will definitely not do such a treacherous thing. Now Ying Guang has restored the banner of Qin, so this has become a dispute between royal families. I decided that the Meng family will neither support the king nor welcome Ying Guang. We only stick to our original intentions. No matter who wins and loses, we only support the King of Qin!"
"Yeah, this is a solution."
"You can handle this for a while, but I don't know if the king will be disgusted."
"Oh, as long as we can protect our Montessori lineage, we can take into account other things!"
After hearing Montaigne's words, everyone was in chaos. Everyone had their own ideas, but the majority of them agreed to protect themselves.
"It's good that you can think of this, but have you ever considered how we should deal with it if the king uses strong hands?"
Old Marquis Meng did not make a direct statement. In his eyes, his grandson had done a good job, but he was still a little stupid and loyal. He did not know that the king was the king after all, and he would not take into account his old love. Instead of betting on his pity, it would be better to make enough preparations in advance.
"Use strong? No, there are shadows of me, Mengshi everywhere in the Qin team, and the king will not touch us easily."
Looking at Montaigne's confident gaze, Old Marquis Meng smiled and coughed twice, saying, "It's a good thing to be confident, but you have to prepare for it. You don't think it will happen, and you can't guarantee that it won't really happen, so..."
Old Marquis Meng suddenly paused, then looked around, and saw that the children below stopped making any more noise, then continued: "The king still has the black armored guards in his hand, and the city defense army is in the hands of the Wang family. Although the two camps outside are my Meng family's children, the generals are all staying in Xianyang. Therefore, grandson, from tomorrow, you will have to live in the camp outside the city. Without my secret order, you will not be allowed to enter Xianyang City!"
