Chapter 203 Defeated

I suddenly felt a stern, and Meng Tian was speechless.

Bai Qi was the leading general of Qin. He was familiar with military tactics, good at using troops, and had a good relationship with Queen Xuan of Qin and had a good relationship with Wei Ran, the Marquis of Rang. He assisted King Zhao of Qin and made many military achievements. In the Battle of Yique, he defeated the Wei and Han Allied Forces; in the Battle of Chu, he captured the Chu capital Yingcheng. In the Battle of Changping, he severely damaged the main force of Zhao State and killed more than 400,000 surrendered soldiers of the Zhao army. He served as the chief general of the Qin army for more than 30 years, captured more than 70 cities, and was named Wu'an Jun. However, such a rare genius with great military achievements was finally demoted to the master because of his great achievements. In the fifty years of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he was sentenced to death by Du You.

Could it be that in Wang Jian's heart, Ying Zheng would be a person like King Zhaoxiang of Qin who crossed the river and demolished the bridge? But since I came to Qin, with my understanding of Ying Zheng, it is hard to believe that he would do the thing of cooking the birds with all their bows and the rabbits with dead dogs.

"General Wang, you are really worried! The king used Li Xin to save some troops. After all, it would be impossible to gather a total of 600,000 troops, which would be a whole country's strength. It's not that easy. Why should the old general be so worried? He had to resign and return home?" I said to Wang Jian.

Wang Jian looked at me sadly and wanted to speak but stopped. He seemed to have a lot of thoughts.

After a while, he sighed and said, "National Master, even if the king gave me 600,000 troops, I am not sure to destroy Chu State! Chu State has a large land and a strong people. Even if the King of Chu is going to summon one million troops, it would not be difficult for the King of Chu to convene one million troops. It would be great if I could retire from now on this time! I am afraid I will not be able to retire for a few days. General Meng, remember that when fighting against the Chu army, you must keep enough reserve troops, otherwise it would not be defeated, but the 200,000 troops were wiped out."

Meng Tian and I looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Wang Jian returned to Yang's hometown, Meng Tian followed Li Xin to send troops to Chu State, and I was anxiously waiting for news of attacking Chu in the mansion all day long.

A month later, the battle report in front was reported back to Xianyang. Li Xin led his army to attack Pingyu, and Meng Tian led his army to attack Qinqiu, defeating the Chu army. Li Xin took advantage of the victory to conquer Yan Ying, and is now leading his troops to march westward, preparing to meet with Meng Tian in the city father.

"Li Xin is indeed a handsome talent! Wang Jian used to be invincible in the battle, but now he is the older he is, the less courageous he is! Haha." Ying Zheng laughed in the hall, and he could see that he was in a good mood.

I also feel very happy. At this progress, it may take less than half a year to destroy the Chu State. Wang Jian was very serious and thoughtful, but he still had too many concerns about the issue of attacking Chu.

"If Li Xin can succeed, it will be the reason why the king is unconventional and supposes people based on his merits! Otherwise, Li Xin might still be a commander, and no matter how capable he is, he will be useless!" I also shamelessly patted Ying Zheng's flattery. I saw that to gain a foothold in the court, flattery is a necessary basic skill. The biggest difference between the Moli Stars and our Dasli Demon Stars is that they like to listen to these flattery words.

Li Si next to me gave me a blank look, as if he blamed me for stealing his words.

Ying Zheng glanced at me, smiled meaningfully, and said nothing.

I was puzzled. Did I flatter the horse's leg? Just to learn how to flatter, I secretly observed Li Si and other officials for several months, and Ying Zheng was in a good mood today!

I immediately regretted secretly: Maybe it was because of such obvious flattery as a master like me that made Ying Zheng look down on me. It seems that this flattery is really a technical job. Compared with the masters on Mo Lixing, I am still far from that. In order to repair the spaceship as soon as possible, I have to concentrate on practicing the skill of flattery.

After the court dispersed, I returned to my mansion. Mandy stayed in the settlement of the tribe all day long and could not see anyone. Fortunately, Zhao Gao and our tribe's own guards protected me, and I was not worried about her safety. Kesma and Yi Fazhe told me about Li Xin's battle situation ahead, and they were also very happy, because once Chu was destroyed, it would be easy to resolve Qi. The capital of Yan State had been occupied by the Qin army, Yan Prince Dan was killed, and Yan King Xi had fled to Liaodong, and there was no need to worry about destroying Yan.

As long as the six kingdoms are united, I can start mining immediately. Kesma and Yi Fazhe have been trying to use materials removed from the spacecraft to build a mining machine that can extract rare metal rhenium from copper ore. Once successful, we can extract rare metal rhenium, which is essential for repairing dark matter engines and quantum communication antennas. I can restore quantum communication first and let all the tribesmen who escaped from the Dasli Demon Star come to Moli Star. If our interstellar warships can receive signals and find them, then we may be able to take the lead on this Moli Star! Thinking of these, a raging fire of hope ignited in my heart.

But within a few days, the war ahead changed unexpectedly.

At the morning court meeting that day, Ying Zheng told all the ministers with a gloomy face that Li Xin was led by Chu general Xiang Yan to follow and chase after him for three days and three nights in a row. Finally, he was defeated by Xiang Yan. The Qin army was captured and two military camps were killed. Seven lieutenants were killed. Li Xin, under Meng Tian's support, only a few thousand people escaped.

After the court was dispersed, Ying Zheng left me alone. I thought he wanted to listen to my opinion on the battle against Chu. After all, I did not support sending Li Xin to lead troops to attack Chu last time, and he did not listen to my opinion.

Unexpectedly, he got angry at me with a slight sting, but it was not for the unfavorable situation of the battle against Chu.

Ying Zheng seemed to burst out his anger: "National Master, your disciple is so weak and courageous! This is how you practitioners practice Taoism? How do you teach him this way?"

I was confused for a moment and asked hurriedly: "Don't be anxious, is it that I'm so weak that I'm causing trouble?"

Ying Zheng sneered: "Do you really don't know? He met Jiang Qizi in the harem and was caught on the spot. He was punished according to the law. Do you think it is considered a disaster?"

My heart sank suddenly. Why is this Selkin such a person? Have he forgotten the national hatred and family hatred with the Dark Stars, and he still has the intention to do this! If he is by his side now, I really want to slap him in the face, but I still expelled him: "Master, I really don't know about this matter! How can this weak person have such a courage? Is there any misunderstanding?"

Ying Zheng suddenly shouted to me in anger: "They were caught on the spot by the eunuch on the bed. You said there was a misunderstanding. You are a good master! You are indeed looking at your apprentice."

Seeing Ying Zheng so furious, I was at a loss and knelt on the ground with a bang. No matter what Serkin did wrong, I would save him no matter what. I can't forget the warriors of the Kukanda Guard's instructions to me before leaving. Among them was Serkin's brother.

"The king is because I am not strict in discipline. This weak father has saved my life. Before he died, he entrusted the weak to me. That's why I value him very much. I didn't expect that he would spoil his lawless character. Please take my face as to my slightest. You can punish him anyway. Let's spare his life for the time being." I can only take the responsibility on myself, hoping that Ying Zheng can have a good face.

Ying Zheng sighed and said nothing for a long time.

"King! King!" I knelt at Ying Zheng's feet and kept kowtowing!

"Get up quickly!" Ying Zheng leaned over and helped me up. He held my hands and said, "If I didn't forgive him, I wouldn't talk about this to the national master alone. In fact, there are many women in my harem, some of which I have never met before, but this matter is related to face and even the mountain village men cannot bear it, let alone I am the King of Qin."
