Chapter 172 Han Xin and Yue Fei's Arrangements
"Your Majesty means..."
Cao Zhengchun looked surprised and asked cautiously.
"Two dogs fight, play off."
Ying Chen continued.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Cao Zhengchun flattered him.
"Alright, stop flattering me. Go and summon Xiao He and the others. I need to discuss this matter with them!"
Ying Chen laughed and scolded.
"Here!"
Cao Zhengchun ran out excitedly.
Before long, Xiao He, Guo Jia, and other key civil officials of the Qin Dynasty arrived at the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"
Everyone bowed to Ying Chen and said...
"No gift!"
Ying Chen waved his hand and said.
"Your Majesty, may I ask why you have summoned us here?"
As the prime minister of Qin, Xiao He rarely saw Ying Chen summon so many people to the imperial study at once.
Therefore, he had some doubts.
Ying Chen recounted what had just happened to everyone.
After he finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
They are considering the feasibility of this.
After a moment, Guo Jia spoke first: "Your Majesty, if we let the two great dynasties confront each other, our Great Qin can naturally reap the benefits..."
"However, the two great dynasties may not actually go to war. They both understand the consequences of a war between them—it would be a war that would have far-reaching consequences throughout the entire Xuanxing Domain, and even forces from other domains might get involved..."
"Moreover, now there is the existence of my newly established Qin Dynasty..."
"Although the Huangfu Dynasty has proposed an alliance with our Great Qin, they may still be wary of us..."
"After all, since its rise to power, our Great Qin has displayed far too many extraordinary characteristics..."
"These unusual occurrences are seen as a threat by other powers..."
Guo Jia, with a serious expression, pointed out the uncertainty surrounding the matter.
"Yes! Fengxiao is right!"
Ying Chen stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
He certainly hadn't considered this.
Although the two great dynasties are sworn enemies, it is impossible to make them start a war regardless of everything.
Unless, one of the two great dynasties loses a very important person to the other.
How important must this person be?
It was so important that if anything happened to him, the entire imperial dynasty would go crazy.
But do such people really exist?
Even if he really exists, his importance is self-evident, and he would definitely be surrounded by layers of protection.
It would be extremely difficult for an accident to happen.
"Do my esteemed ministers have any other good ideas?"
Ying Chen turned his gaze to the others and asked.
The others also frowned, clearly finding the matter troublesome.
"Your Majesty, it seems impossible to get the two great dynasties to go to war without regard for the consequences. It would be better to form an alliance with the Huangfu Dynasty and kick the Tianhu Dynasty out of the game first!"
Li Si spoke first.
Li Si was the Minister of Justice in the Qin Dynasty, in charge of judicial and criminal matters.
The current Qin legal code was compiled under the responsibility of Li Si.
"Your Majesty, Minister Li's words make sense. Since we cannot simultaneously cripple both great dynasties, why not combine the strength of our dynasty and the Huangfu dynasty to destroy the Tianhu dynasty? At that time, only the Huangfu dynasty will remain, and it will be absolutely unable to stop the advance of our Great Qin..."
Fang Xuanling also agreed.
"Your Majesty, I second that proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
The other ministers also seconded the motion.
Seeing that many ministers supported forming an alliance with the Huangfu Dynasty to jointly eliminate the Tianhu Dynasty, Ying Chen had no choice but to agree.
It's just a pity for him.
If we could destroy both great dynasties in one fell swoop, that would be the best outcome.
However, it seems unlikely at the moment.
"Alright, then let's form an alliance with the Huangfu Dynasty and deal with the Tianhu Dynasty together!"
Finally, Ying Chen made the decision.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers below all spoke respectfully.
Afterwards, Ying Chen left only Xiao He and Li Si behind, and let the others leave first.
"My two ministers! What are Yue Fei and Han Xin doing right now?"
Ying Chen looked at the two of them and asked.
Since Yue Fei and Han Xin were summoned, Ying Chen did not assign them any tasks, but instead kept them hidden in the shadows, and the other forces were unaware of their existence.
"Your Majesty, General Han and General Yue are currently training the army..."
"The army that our Great Qin used to attack the Blood Barbarian Dynasty some time ago was trained by these two generals..."
Xiao He asked.
Ying Chen nodded, then asked curiously, "Oh? How many troops does my Great Qin have now?"
Xiao He smiled slightly and said, "Currently, our Great Qin has a total army of over 30 million. Of these, excluding the troops stationed in various cities, we have 15 million troops that can be mobilized..."
"Thanks to the unlimited supply of Emperor's Spirit Stones and various resources, the strength of these armies is all above the Foundation Establishment stage, and they are in no way inferior to the armies of the other two great imperial dynasties!"
A look of pride appeared on Xiao He's face as he spoke.
Ying Chen's eyes lit up after hearing this.
He never imagined that Yue Fei and Han Xin had trained such a large army.
This was a wonderful surprise for him!
"Not bad!"
Ying Chen nodded in satisfaction and said.
"Your Majesty, the army's size has reached its limit; it cannot be expanded further. Any expansion would create a significant burden..."
"Moreover, it would be a real waste to use the talents of these two generals on training troops!"
Li Si spoke up at this moment.
His meaning was clear: he wanted Ying Chen to assign some positions to Han Xin and Yue Fei.
In fact, this was what Han Xin and Yue Fei wanted as well.
Seeing their colleagues repeatedly achieving remarkable feats, the two of them were also very anxious.
Ying Chen smiled slightly and said, "In that case, let's temporarily halt the expansion of the army..."
"As for Han Xin and Yue Fei, they divided the 15 million-strong army into two parts, each led by Han Xin and Yue Fei respectively, and ordered them to proceed immediately to Langyu Pass and Yaori City to garrison them..."
Han Xin and Yue Fei were both commanders-in-chief. Since these armies were trained by them, it was best to entrust them with command.
As for why they were stationed at Langyu Pass and Yaori City, it was naturally to guard against the Huangfu Dynasty and the Tianhu Dynasty.
Langyu Pass, needless to say, is guarding against the Heavenly Fox Dynasty, and is currently in a standoff with it.
Yaori City is a large city in the south of the Great Qin Dynasty, very close to the Huangfu Dynasty.
If one day we break ties with the Huangfu Dynasty, this will be the front line.
"Here!"
Upon hearing Ying Chen's words, both Xiao He and Li Si showed joy on their faces and respectfully replied.
