Chapter 308 Everyone in the Xianyang Palace was panicked
Xianyang.
The atmosphere in the hall solidified so that it almost stopped flowing.
Ranghou Wei Ran appeared in front of everyone again, with an inexplicable blush on his face, and a little pale at the same time.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, the King of Qin had just announced the removal of all disciplinary actions against Marquis of Rang, and ordered his official position to be restored to his post and return to the position of Prime Minister of Qin.
This is undoubtedly very good news for Wei Ran. After all, a year seems to have made many people forget the existence of Ranghou Wei Ran.
But at the same time, Wei Ran was also under a lot of pressure. He knew very well why the King of Qin appointed him like this, that was the next battle.
Perhaps in many places, Wei Ran and the King of Qin were out of place, but in this war, the interests of the two were completely consistent.
Wei Ran thought silently and straightened his body slightly.
The top Qin King spoke very calmly: "Meng Ao has just introduced the situation. What are the ideas for you?"
A silence suddenly fell into the hall.
A total of 300,000 troops from the Three Jin coalition forces, plus 100,000 Chu troops, totaling 400,000 troops. This is the enemy that Qin State has to face.
This is definitely a number that no one can laugh at.
A few years ago, when Zhao led the Four-Nation Alliance to defeat Qi's general Kuang Zhang in the Battle of Gaotang, there were not even so many troops. It is no exaggeration to say that such an army is enough to destroy the current Qin State!
When the four words "The Danger of Destruction of the Country" are heavily pressed on everyone's hearts, it is conceivable that no one dares to speak rashly.
Wei Ran cleared his throat and was the first to speak: "Although the Zhao State and other princes are coming in full force, this is not the first time that the Qin Dynasty has faced such a situation. This marquis believes that as long as the old Qin people can unite under the command of the king, they will definitely be able to crush the Zhao State's conspiracy and let the power of the Qin State spread throughout the world!"
Wei Ran must stand up and make this statement. He wants everyone to know that this time, all the forces in the Qin Dynasty must work together to help the Qin Dynasty survive the crisis.
Regarding Wei Ran's statement, the King of Qin nodded slightly and expressed his approval.
The atmosphere in the hall relaxed a little, because Wei Ran's words reminded people of many things before.
For example, the momentum that Gongsun Yan once presided over was great, and the five countries, led by King Huai of Chu, attacked Qin.
During that time, Qin not only did not suffer any losses, but also successfully killed the Three Jin Alliance and even captured several cities.
Meng Ao stood up and said in a deep voice: "King, although I am not talented, I am willing to lead troops to defend Yiyang. As long as I still have a breath, I will definitely not let the Zhao man step over Yiyang!"
Yiyang, which has just been recaptured from South Korea, is undoubtedly the best frontline of war. From the perspective of Qin, the battlefield must be the farther away from its own Guanzhong land, the better, so that Qin can have enough depth to deal with the subsequent war.
The King of Qin glanced at Meng Ao and seemed a little hesitant.
At this moment, another person also stood up.
"King, my minister Bai Qi is also willing to fight for the country."
Meng Ao subconsciously glanced at Bai Qi, but Bai Qi did not look sideways, maintaining a salute posture, quietly looking at the floor beneath his feet.
The King of Qin was silent for a moment and said, "This time, Daliang will make Bai Qi the main general. I will give you 200,000 people. You must be responsible for resisting the Zhao army's frontal offensive. You must firmly block the people of Zhao to the east and smash the King of Zhao's attempt!"
After the King of Qin finished speaking, many Qin ministers were surprised.
This time, the King of Qin did not choose Meng Ao, who was more regarded as his confidant, but chose Bai Qi, who was promoted by Marquis of Rang, Wei Ran?
However, considering Bai Qi's outstanding achievements in the Battle of Chu last year, no one spoke out against him.
The King of Qin continued: "As for Nanjun and Nanyangjun..."
The King of Qin paused, glanced at Wei Ran and Mi Rong, and then said, "Wancheng, Dengcheng and other places can try to stick to it. As for Nanjun, let's keep it by the Nanjun city for the time being."
There was a slight commotion in the main hall.
Nanjun, which is the Jianghan Plain, which was just captured by the Qin State last year, including the Yingdu of Chu State.
The so-called "persistence on one's own" of the King of Qin is obviously to give up on Nanjun.
Although it was just captured, the Jianghan Plain is the core area of Chu after all. Even though we know that Qin needs to shrink its strength to defend now, it still makes people feel a pity that he just gave up Nanjun just so directly.
Wei Ran said in a deep voice: "What the king said is that Nanjun is now worthless to the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty should concentrate its troops in places that can help the war situation more."
Wei Ran spoke like this, so naturally there would be no more objection.
The King of Qin set his eyes on Mi Rong: "Xinchengjun, your fief is in Nanyang County. This time you will leave Nanyang County to preside over Nanyang County and Nanjun defense. All the troops and horses of the two counties are under your full command. Be sure to delay the attack of the Chu people. If the Chu people move north to join the troops of the Three Jins, you must also go north to support the direction of Yiyang in time. Do you understand?"
Mi Rong's face was solemn, and he stood up to accept the order.
Although Mi Rong is not very good at military affairs, Mi Rong was born in the Mi family and has many connections in the Chu State. Regardless of whether these connections are useful after Mi Rong left Chu State for so many years and Bai Qi's killing last year, when Qin State cannot give more troops to the two southeastern counties, this is a solution that there is no way.
Mi Rong suddenly spoke, "What should I do with the border cavalry legion in the north of Zhao State?"
During last year's war, although the Zhao cavalry led by Le Cheng did not achieve any substantial results, it obviously restrained the large number of Qin's troops, causing Qin to be unable to devote all its efforts to the frontal Yiyang battlefield.
The King of Qin said slowly: "If I did not think wrong this time, King Zhao will definitely go south with all the troops and horses of the border cavalry, with a number of at least 30,000 cavalry. Meng Ao, I will give you 50,000 soldiers and horses. You are responsible for entering the Yiqu front line. Be sure to keep an eye on the cavalry of the Zhao people so that they can threaten Guanzhong!"
Meng Ao immediately stepped out of the line to receive the order.
For this Qin general, although it was disappointing to not become the chief general of Yiyang, it is a good result to be able to stand alone now.
The King of Qin breathed a sigh of relief, swept across the ministers in the hall, and his voice was extremely solemn: "This time, it is related to the life and death of the Qin Dynasty. I hope that the second and third sons can unite and fight for the future of the Qin Dynasty. When the great Qin army sets down Handan in the future, neither I nor the Qin Dynasty will forget the contributions of the second and third sons today!"
