A moment later, with the loud noise of explosives, Yiqusheng led 20,000 cavalry from Yiqu Kingdom to rush into the city.

The cavalry of Yiqiu State was not like the cavalry of Zhao State, which had the strict regulations promulgated by Zhao Kuo as a constraint, so a very shrill cry appeared in the city just a moment later.

Yi Qusheng expressed his complete indifference to this scene.

Because decades ago, after the Qin people occupied the land of Yiqu Kingdom, they treated the people of Yiqu Kingdom this way.

Yiqusheng still remembers the desperate expression of the Qin minister with a slutty smile on his face when he dragged his mother into the room after killing his father.

"Take a tooth for tooth, eye for eye!"

Yi Qusheng said this in his heart coldly, and then issued another order.

"We'll have fun tonight and wait until tomorrow we'll go to the next city!"

In just 10 days, Yiqusheng took 20,000 cavalry from Yiqu Kingdom to sweep six cities in the northwest of the Guanzhong Basin.

When the news was circulated back to Xianyang, the monarchs and ministers of Qin were completely shocked.

Ying Zichu opened her eyes wide and spoke in disbelief.

"Where did these Yiqiu people get the courage to invade the land of our Daqin?"

Faced with Ying Zichu's anger, no Qin minister dared to speak.

In fact, everyone knew very well that behind Yiqiu State was the sudden attack of a group of people from Zhao State, which was obviously because they were under the command of Zhao State, or Zhao Kuo.

But the problem is that even if the main messenger behind this scene was Zhao Kuo, the Qin side actually had no good way to deal with these Yiqu people.

The reason is also very simple, because now all the soldiers and horses of Qin are fighting against Zhao Kuo head-on, and they can't draw out other soldiers and then go to fight against the people of Yiqiu.

Lu Buwei coughed and spoke slowly.

"Master, what I mean is very simple. We really can't continue to delay.

Please think about it. You said you were unwilling to fight the State of Zhao before, and then a Li Mu appeared. Now, he still said he was unwilling to fight the State of Zhao, and as a result, a Yiqu Kingdom emerged.

If we continue to delay, will there be more enemies, such as the Qiang people in the west?

By that time, our Daqin will be attacked from all sides. Even if we want to fight to the decisive battle, we may be powerless."

After hearing Lu Buwei's words, the faces of many Qin ministers present changed again.

But the problem is that this time, not many people can continue to stand up and refute Lu Buwei's words.

The reason is actually very simple. I was slapped in the face before refuting Lu Buwei. Now if I continue to refute Lu Buwei if I am slapped in the face again, I really can't continue to survive in the political arena of Qin.

Moreover, Lu Buwei's predictions these times were indeed correct. Qin did not adopt the strategy of taking the initiative to fight. Although he did not receive any threats on the front battlefield, he is now very passive by Zhao Kuo's two side divisions.

Lu Buwei continued to speak, "I'll just say that. Although the troops that Li Mu went to Hanzhong seemed to be fierce and numerous, since we were able to block him in Hanzhong and prevent him from reaching Guanzhong, Li Mu was not fatal.

However, the cavalry of Yiqu Kingdom, which was won by Yiqu Kingdom, which had 20,000 people, is different. Although they only had 20,000 people, the problem is that Yiqu Kingdom is close to our Daqin. Due to the maneuverability of the cavalry, Yiqu Kingdom might appear under our Xianyang city when Yiqu Kingdom will appear.

It would be fine if Yiqusheng had only cavalry, but Yiqusheng still had explosives in his hand. I would like to ask, what else can we do if Yiqusheng came to Xianyang City with explosives at that time?"

After hearing Lu Buwei's words, the faces of all the Qin ministers present changed again.

A very obvious fact is that ministers across the country do not understand the power of explosives, and they can only carefully analyze and judge previous information to make a guess.

From a normal logical perspective, Linzi City and Xianyang City are obviously metropolises of the same standard level, and Linzi is even hundreds of years older than Xianyang City.

When Linzi City, which has been run by Qi for 800 years, cannot withstand the attack of explosives, then will Xianyang City, which has been established for only a few decades, be able to do it?

Even though it can be said that the current construction city technology is indeed much stronger than before, all the Qin monarchs and ministers present had no confidence and said that they would definitely be able to withstand the attack of explosives.

Mao Sui looked at the faces of the Qin ministers and knew that it was almost time to help Lu Buwei add another fire.

Mao Sui said, "Everyone, don't forget how our Daqin treated Yiqu people back then. If the Yiqu people were really attacked into Xianyang, what would that be the consequences? Let's imagine it yourself."

As soon as Mao Sui said this, everyone was shocked again.

How did Qin treat Yiqiu?

Take Yingji, the King of Qin Zhao, who was still in power more than ten years ago. Yingji's mother was Queen Mother Xuan Mi, the famous "Miyue" prototype.

In order to help Yingji compete for the throne with another Qin prince who had the support of Wei, Empress Dowager Xuan directly used her body to attract a foreign aid for Yingji, which was the King of Yiqu at that time.

Later, Yingji did ascend the throne smoothly, and Empress Dowager Xuan also had an old tree blooming, and directly gave birth to two sons to King Yiqu.

Of course, this kind of thing would not be spared by the six Eastern countries. They often make fun of Yingji, saying that Yingji's mother was so old and even went to find a wild man to get two cheap brothers for Yingji. This undoubtedly made Yingji very upset.

About twenty years later, Yingji and his mother, Empress Dowager Xuan, completely turned against each other, so he sent troops to rush into Empress Dowager Xuan's palace, killed King Yiqu and his two sons, and then sent troops to annex the Yiqu Kingdom.

It is precisely because of this kind of thing that when Yiqu Kingdom was destroyed, Ying Ji instructed the soldiers of the Qin army to conduct an extremely cruel plunder of Yiqu Kingdom.

Yiqusheng's father was killed and his mother was insulted by the Qin ministers. This happened under the order of Yingji.

Not only that, more than 70% of Yiqu men were killed or beaten into slaves to build the Great Wall. A large number of Yiqu women were lucky enough to be married home by Qin soldiers and could be married to them as wives. Those with less luck were directly rewarded to all kinds of meritorious soldiers as concubines or even female slaves.

After a simple year, the original land of Yiqu Country was reduced by half and more than half of the population.

This undoubtedly formed a bloody feud between the two sides.

Now, Yiqiusheng has returned to Guanzhong and is here to take revenge.

Ying Ji, the real messenger behind the scenes, was the biological grandfather of King Ying Zichu of Qin now.

The Qin ministers present, who had older experience, had more or less participated in the plunder that was a catastrophic robbery for the people of Yiqu.

It is easy to know without imagination that if Yiqusheng really captured Xianyang City, then the revenge he launched next must be extremely cruel, and it is even more likely to be ten times more cruel than the Qin people's methods back then! When they thought of this, everyone present couldn't help but fight a cold war.

Suddenly, a minister spoke: "King, I think, maybe I should also consider it and see if I want to start a decisive battle with Zhao Kuo."

As soon as this sentence was finished, it was immediately approved by others.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, the old minister thinks so too."

"Instead of waiting for Yiqu people to come to Xianyang, we might as well fight Zhao Kuo first!"

The last sentence undoubtedly expresses the voice of most people.

The current situation is actually very simple. If you want to fight Zhao Kuo desperately, even if you lose and Zhao Kuo breaks through Xianyang City, you can still save your life as long as you surrender.

But if Yi Qusheng, the revenge envoy, came to Xianyang, not only would most of the people present die, but it is even very likely that all their families would be massacred by Yi Qusheng.

Compared with the two, it is obvious that the option of a decisive battle with Zhao Kuo is more acceptable.

Seeing this, Lu Buwei was also a little proud and nodded at Mao Sui, who smiled.

Ying Zichu was also a little amused when she looked at everyone's support for the final battle.

Unlike the various concerns at other times, Ying Zichu is really clear this time why these guys in front of him have to fight to the decisive battle.

But to be honest... Ying Zichu actually felt that the reasons they said were indeed very reasonable.

With explosives, the city that should have been very solid can no longer become a barrier for everyone.

Since defending the city is not feasible, what else can we do?

I can only fight in the wild.

When Ying Zichu thought of this, she couldn't help but look at Fan Sui.

Ying Zichu's meaning is actually very simple. Isn't Fan Sui a prime minister? He has to respect it more or less. If Fan Sui also thinks it is feasible, then this matter must be done.

Of course, the old fried dough stick Fan Sui could understand what Ying Zichu meant. After a brief silence, Fan Sui sighed and said, "The old minister has no objection to any decision of the king."

Although Fan Sui did not agree with this sentence, everyone knew that this was actually a manifestation of his disagreement.

Ying Zichu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, I understand.

Someone came, immediately sent an order to Wang Jian, telling him that Xianyang City has been threatened by Yiqusheng, and asked him to find a way to fight Zhao Kuo immediately, and return to rescue Xianyang City after defeating Zhao Kuo!"

With everyone's expectations, Ying Zichu did make this decision that made everyone feel a little more at ease.

Next, everyone's voices rang out: "The king is wise!"

Among the voices of praise, Lu Buwei and Mao Sui's smiles became more and more meaningful.

A moment later, in the carriage in the palace, Mao Sui couldn't help but feel excited and said to Lu Buwei who had just gotten in the car: "I didn't expect you to succeed, it's so amazing!"

Mao Sui did not hide his admiration for Lu Buwei at this moment.

Lu Buwei laughed, looked around and confirmed that the carriage had been away from the other people's carriages, and then said: "It's better to say that the Lord is really too strong than that I've really succeeded!"

Mao Sui was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "This is indeed the reason."

Lu Buwei's bold remarks were actually based on one premise, that is, Zhao Kuo would continuously use various strange plans and weapons to attack Qin.

If Zhao Kuo did nothing and just brought 300,000 people to confront the Qin army led by Wang Jian in Lantian City, not only would anyone believe Lu Buwei's words, but everyone would also regard Lu Buwei as a complete joke.

But Zhao Kuo did prove that he had a strange plan. First, Li Mu attacked Hanzhong, and then Yi Qusheng came from the northwest to capture the Qin Guanzhong retreat. In these two armies, there was no one in the two armies. Lu Buwei's plan to demand that Wang Jian take the initiative to fight would not be accepted by Ying Zichu, nor could he gain the support of many Qin ministers.

Mao Sui chuckled softly and said, "These guys want to compete with the lord?"

That's a joke."

Lu Buwei nodded with a smile and said seriously: "This is indeed the case.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Lord is the one who has the strongest control over war strategy among the people I, Lu Buwei, has ever seen in my life.

And you know?

Sun Wu, who wrote "The Art of War", once said, that is, the political arena, and the shopping mall actually has many similarities with the battlefield.
