Chapter 119 The Contest Between the King and the Minister of Qin
After Sima Cuo finished speaking, several ministers immediately agreed.
The King of Qin looked around and found that most of these ministers came from the Qin Duke clan, namely the Qin clan of Ying. As for the four nobles and one sect of Wei Ran, there were only a few responders.
The King of Qin set his eyes on Wei Ran: "I wonder what General Sima said, what is Ranghou think?"
The King of Qin personally ordered the generals, and Wei Ran had to speak.
Wei Ran thought for a moment and said, "King, I think the Qin Dynasty has not been in a very smooth situation recently. Should it be more appropriate to take a rest and recuperate for a while?"
The King of Qin's face moved and he didn't say anything.
Sima Cuo said in a deep voice: "Mr. Rang is a bad word. The State of Zhao did not take away even an inch of land in this battle. On the contrary, the Qin Dynasty in Hedong was invincible to conquer cities and land. How can it be said that it is unsatisfactory? Now we should take advantage of the morale of the three armies to go south to attack Chu and attack Chu again. Only then can we promote the prestige of the Qin Dynasty and intimidate the princes!"
Wei Ran looked stern and looked at Sima Chou and said, "General Sima is also a participant in the Battle of Shangjun. What is the details? Don't you know in your heart?"
Sima Cuo sneered and said, "This general is just a nominal deputy general. The details of Ranghou naturally knows clearly."
The two of them were verbally fighting, and their respective horsemen also spoke to help. For a moment, the Qin court became a vegetable market, which was extremely noisy.
The King of Qin snorted heavily and said, "Enough!"
It was just the main hall of the vegetable market, but it instantly turned into a mourning hall.
The King of Qin looked around and said in a deep voice: "What kind of quarrels is the norm! The defeat in Shangjun is the treacherous and cunning person of Zhao, not the responsibility of Marquis Rang or General Sima!"
After the King of Qin finished speaking, Wei Ran suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
This sentence means that the King of Qin no longer intends to hold Wei Ran Shangjun responsible for the defeat.
Otherwise, once the King of Qin takes advantage of Shangjun’s defeat, even if Wei Ran can be saved, he will definitely be in a very embarrassing position.
The King of Qin said again: "However, the Great Qin's eastward exit is a national policy. How can it be stopped because of a short setback? Since the Guhan passage cannot be used by the Great Qin for a while, then the Great Qin's journey to Wuguan southward and from Fangcheng eastward can also achieve the effect! I decided that next spring, Sima Cuo was the main general and Bai Qi was the deputy general, leading the army to jointly attack Chu! Ranghou, what do you think?"
The King of Qin's eyes looked like lightning, looking directly at Wei Ran.
Wei Ran's face stagnated. After a while, he said helplessly: "I naturally agree with the order of the king."
Since the King of Qin promised not to pursue the matter of the county, Wei Ran must also support the King of Qin's decision to attack Chu.
Otherwise, this political game will not be able to continue.
Wei Ran felt helpless.
This secret battle obviously ended with the victory of the King of Qin, which invisibly caused a blow to the power of Wei Ran and the Chu faction.
The King of Qin smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then this matter is settled!"
After the court discussion, the ministers stood up one after another, saluted the King of Qin, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, a palace guard walked into the hall quickly.
"King, emergency military information!"
The ministers stopped immediately.
When the King of Qin took over the emergency military situation, his smile suddenly frozen on his face.
That's what it said above.
"Zhao Master's father led 50,000 cavalry and went south to attack Yiqu!"
With a bang, the King of Qin smashed the military information heavily on the table.
