Chapter 157 Do you want to be the leader for nothing?

Except for the King of Qin, no one has the courage to seize the mistakes of the prince.

Therefore, when the King of Qin took the initiative to change the topic, An Guojun's misjudgment disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never happened before.

The first person to speak was Fan Sui, the prime minister of Qin: "King, now that things have come to this, the Qin Dynasty can only launch a large army and Zhao Kuo to fight again."

Fan Sui's proposal was almost immediately approved by all the Qin monarchs and ministers present.

Since Shang Yang's reforms, the idea of ​​"military merit equals everything" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the strict implementation of Qin's laws.

The entire Qin State has long evolved into a machine serving war. They will not be afraid of war at any time, and will even take the initiative to welcome the war and start the war! The King of Qin said in a deep voice: "So this time, who will Daqin use as the main general against Zhao Kuo?"

As soon as the King of Qin said this, a brief silence suddenly fell into the hall.

After a long time, an important official from Qin State said: "Wu'an Jun Bai Qi is the first general of my Qin Dynasty. I think he is the best choice to play against Zhao Kuo."

But someone immediately objected: "Wu'an Jun is indeed a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, but don't forget that the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Li were both Wu'an Jun against Zhao Kuo, so what was the result?

Things can be done without further ado. This time, Wu Anjun should not be allowed to be the leader again!"

This time, something rarely happened in the past, and Bai Qi's identity as the chief general was severely questioned and opposed.

Moreover, the opposition this time is even louder than in any past.

Of course, the winner is supported by everyone, and a typical example of the loser is today Bai Qi! The quarrel surrounding the position of the chief general is just a microcosm of the conflict caused by successive failures in the Qin political arena. It can be foreseeable that if Qin continues to fail, then this failure and quarrel will continue to escalate! The King of Qin was silent for a moment and turned his attention to Fan Sui: "Yinghou, what do you think?"

Everyone has been quiet for the time being, wanting to see what answer this No. 2 figure in Daqin will give.

Fan Sui obviously had an answer, and said in a hurry: "When you go back to the king, the old minister thinks that you should still regard Wu'an as your general."

After Fan Sui's words fell, a low sound of surprise sounded in the hall.

Even King Qin and An Guojun couldn't help but look unexpected on their faces.

As two leading figures in the political and military circles of Qin State, the relationship between Fan Sui and Bai Qi is not good, and it can even be said to be very bad.

The reason why Bai Qi was able to rise from the bottom of the Qin army to becoming the famous Qin Wu'anjun, who is now famous, is actually a "Bo Le" who has unlimited support for him. Bai Qi's Bo Le is the former prime minister of Qin Wei Ran.

And Fan Sui stepped on Wei Ran's body and became the prime minister of Qin.

Fan Sui has always suppressed Bai Qi without any effort. For example, during the Battle of Changping, it was because Wang Yan couldn't start the situation, so Fan Sui had no choice but to no longer stop the Qin King from sending Bai Qi to the Changping front line.

So now that Fan Sui actually spoke up to support Bai Qi as the chief general, it surprised everyone.

The King of Qin also paused for a moment, and after a while, he said, "Why?"

Fan Sui said: "Because Zhao Kuo is too strong, if the new general of the Qin Dynasty comes on the court, it is very likely that he will be defeated by Zhao Kuo in a battle, and the losses will be greater for the Qin Dynasty!"

At this moment, An Guojun's voice suddenly sounded: "Father, I dare not agree with the words of Yinghou. I think that Zhao Kuo was just a fledgling general in the Battle of Changping, but did he help Zhao win in Changping?

The minister said that since Wu'an Jun was defeated again and again when facing Zhao Kuo, it would be better to send a younger general, which might benefit the Qin Dynasty."

The King of Qin's eyes turned to An Guojun and said lightly: "Since you said that, then I guess someone has chosen you?"

An Guojun said seriously: "Father, General Meng Ao comes from Qi State. He received the true teachings of Kuang Zhang, the general of Qi State back then. He not only has rich experience in combat formations but also has outstanding achievements. He is definitely an excellent candidate for the main general!"

"Meng Ao?"

The King of Qin's eyes flashed slightly, and he did not immediately make any comments.

Meng Ao is indeed one of the most outstanding generals of the middle-aged Qin Dynasty today, but due to the existence of a group of people such as Wangling King Sima Jin and Sima Geng, before, Meng Ao actually rarely has the opportunity to lead troops independently.

Speaking of which, Meng Ao has recently added a grandson, which seems to be called... Meng Tian?

An Guojun’s rebuttal to Fan Sui immediately attracted Fan Sui’s rebuttal: “Although An Guojun, Meng Ao has rich experience, he has never had a history of leading a large army to fight before. If he directly handed over hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin Dynasty to Meng Ao, it would be too radical.”

An Guojun disagreed: "Zhao Kuo had never even commanded a soldier before the Battle of Changping! Didn't he win?"

Two big men from Qin had a heated discussion around the candidate for the main general this time.

Fan Sui’s meaning is very obvious, that is, he should use the elderly and focus on stability.

An Guojun’s meaning is also obvious, that is, to promote newcomers and take a big bet! Both sides actually have advantages, but they also have obvious shortcomings.

Fan Sui's candidate Bai Qi has lost to Zhao Kuo twice in a row. No matter how you look at it, you still feel that the chance of winning the third time is slim.

Meng Ao, the candidate of An Guojun, has never fought a big battle. He has to face the world's number one general Zhao Kuo as soon as he comes out, so there is no need to say much about the risks.

The Qin ministers present were also divided into two factions, each supporting Bai Qi and Meng Ao.

Finally, the King of Qin stopped the debate: "Okay, there is no need to say anything more."

Everyone calmed down and waited for the Qin King to make the final ruling.

The King of Qin took a deep breath and said slowly: "I decided to use Bai Qi as the main general, Meng Ao as the deputy general, Wang Yan and Wei Liao as the deputy general, and lead an army of 200,000 to compete with the Three Jin coalition forces led by Zhao Kuo. It is necessary to crush Zhao's covetousness against the Qin Dynasty and let the princes in the world know the power of our Qin!"

The words of the King of Qin were the final order, and no one could disobey. All the ministers present stood up and replied respectfully: "Abide by the king's order!"

With the order of the King of Qin, the entire Qin country's war machine started to move again.

Bai Qi, Wu'an Jun of Qin and Wuxin Jun of Zhao Kuo, the generals who are very different in age but are also the number one pillar of their respective countries, are about to launch their third war in just three years! Who will win this time?

At least at this moment, both of them were full of confidence in themselves!
