You must know that six hundred thousand is not a small number. Even if the Qin army is at its peak, it is difficult to produce such a large number of troops now.

After all, Qin has occupied Zhao and Wei successively. As the land expands, it is natural to continuously send troops to various places to guard it, otherwise problems will easily arise.

In addition, soldiers must be mobilized to guard the border and guard against the Yuezhi and Qiang people in the west, and the Xiongnu in the north. Moreover, the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum is also being stepped up, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources.

Under such circumstances, it is absolutely extremely difficult to assemble an army of 600,000.

When he thought of this, Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "Six hundred thousand is impossible. I can dispatch up to 350,000 troops and mobilize the Gongshu family's machine beasts to participate in this war."

Wang Jian heard this and said: "Even if there are machine beasts to help, at least 500,000 soldiers and horses will be needed!"

Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but frown and said expressionlessly: "Don't bargain with me. Five hundred thousand is impossible."

Seeing the resolute expression on his king's side, Wang Jian also knew that it would be difficult for him to convince the other party.

Then he bowed and took a step back, then knelt on the ground and said with great respect: "If there are not 500,000 soldiers, then please forgive me for being unable to do anything."

"Are you blackmailing me?"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wang Jian had this in his mind and quickly kowtowed and said: "I don't dare, but whenever I go on an expedition, many soldiers will die on the battlefield. When I think about this, my heart is as sharp as a knife.

I don’t mean to offend the king, I just hope that a few of the sons who followed me to Chu this time can come back alive!"

Although he did not want to go against the former intention, this matter was not a trivial matter. Although the Chu State was no longer as good as it was at its peak, it was still very strong in the end, so he must not be careless in the slightest.

Wang Jian has always been cautious in using troops and likes to win steadily. If there are only more than 300,000 people, he does not have much confidence that he can win with one blow and defeat the Chu State.

Even if they really win, it will definitely be a tragic victory. I don't know how many soldiers will be stained with blood on the battlefield and wrapped in horse leather. This is what he least wants to see.

For this reason, Wang Jian would rather risk being punished than raise objections.

Hearing these words, Ying Zheng's face darkened slightly, but he did not reprimand the other party but just watched quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wang Jian, who was below, did not dare to say anything, and still maintained his posture of prostrating. For a moment, both sides fell silent, and the air fell into silence.

It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that Ying Zheng looked back and said calmly: "Let's discuss this later..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left the place, temporarily shelving the attack on Chu.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye. In the royal garden of the palace, Ying Zheng was playing chess in the pavilion. Sitting in front of him was none other than Guo Wei, Wei Liaozi.

After dropping a piece, he looked towards the former, raised his hand and stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about attacking Chu?"

Ying Zheng nodded: "Both the Chu and Zhao states are a serious threat to the Qin Dynasty. Only by conquering them can we truly realize the great cause of going east, but the conditions proposed by Wang Jian are really harsh."

Wei Liaozi heard this and said, "Does your Majesty know why General Wang needs so many soldiers and horses?"

Ying Zheng replied: "The land of Chu is vast and difficult to occupy. Moreover, the Chu people are very brave and have the Xiang family, so it is difficult to conquer."

Wei Liaozi said: "What the king said is reasonable, but besides that there is another very important reason."

"What's the reason?"

Ying Zheng asked with raised eyebrows.

Wei Liaozi replied: "Conquests from various countries have always been a matter for the court, and Jianghu forces rarely intervened in it, but the peasant family is an exception. His knight Kui Tian Guang has always served the royal family of Chu.

One hundred thousand peasant disciples are a force that cannot be underestimated, and there are many masters hidden among them. Wu'an Lord Bai Qi died at the hands of those six elders.

The rivers and lakes and the court complement each other and form the horns of each other, which is the biggest difficulty in destroying Chu."

After hearing this, Ying Zheng understood instantly, and then frowned and said: "Then according to the wishes of the country's captain, how should we solve this problem?"

Wei Liaozi stroked his beard and said: "Everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages. They can either rely on each other or be in opposition to each other. The key lies in one person."

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed when he heard this: "Guo Wei means, Tian Guang?"

Wei Liaozi smiled slightly: "The greater the power, the easier it is for conflicts to arise, and the peasant family, as the largest group among the hundreds of disciples, naturally cannot truly unite as one.

There has always been a struggle for power among the six halls, and it was only because of the suppression of Xia Kui that there was no big trouble, but what if the person who was oppressing them disappeared..."

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed, and he continued: "If this heavy pressure disappears, then the conflicts that have been building up for many years will completely break out. By then, not to mention helping the Chu State, even I may not be able to protect myself."

Seeing his understanding, Wei Liaozi chuckled and said: "What the king said is true..."

After receiving the advice, Ying Zheng personally ordered the elite killers in the net to sneak into the farmer's territory and look for opportunities to kill Xia Kui Tian Guang.

As the leader of a large sect, Tian Guang's strength is not weak. He relied on his extraordinary cultivation and peasant power to withstand many assassinations.

However, Ying Zheng also issued a death order. No matter how many men were lost, the task must be completed. The assassins continued to assassinate him in various ways.

Finally, under the joint encirclement and suppression of the Six Sword Slaves, he was finally hunted and killed!

A few days later, Ye Zhang in Yangzhai City, South Korea, was shocked when he learned the news. Although there was not much surprise, it did happen quite suddenly.

Black and white Xuanjian said: "Sixty-six thousand sword slaves attack together, even Tian Guang will have a hard time escaping."

Ye Zhang nodded and asked, "Is there any news from the farm?"

Xuan Jian replied: "The six halls of the farm have gathered together to capture the beast that killed Xia Kui, but it is only superficial work. In addition, a funeral must be held for Tian Guang, and all forces should be invited to pay tribute."

Hearing this, Ye Zhang's expression changed, and then he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "As soon as Tian Guang died, the position of the leader of the knights became vacant. The six farmhouses all have their own ideas, and they must take this opportunity to make something happen."

Xuan Jian continued: "Based on the current situation, Shennong Hall and Lieshan Hall are the most powerful. The new leader of heroes should be born between the Zhu family and Tian Meng."

Ye Zhang chuckled and said: "Things in the world are complicated, especially the battle between such big forces is unpredictable, but this is also a good opportunity for us.
