Chapter 3 Xiaomeng goes down the mountain

"Four hundred thousand?" Ying Zheng frowned. It was not that Qin could not produce this number, but it was only possible to get the power of Qin. Since he came to power, he had never issued such a conscript order.

"Four hundred thousand?" Lu Buwei couldn't sit still and hurriedly looked at Du Xiao and others, "How long can Qin support such a force?"

Du Xiao and other civil servant teams immediately began to come up with calculations. Although Qin now has the granary in Shu and the new granary in Guanzhong, transporting grain from Shu is also a big problem. Supporting 400,000 troops, Qin is not so easy to take out even though it is rich.

"Four hundred thousand!" Liao also frowned. The soldiers he could train now, Lantian Daying, Lishan Daying, and Meixian Daying, which were only 200,000. Unless the 100,000 troops surrendered by South Korea who were sent to Beidi County were re-enlisted, it would be difficult to gather so many. Of course, if the entire Qin State was summoned, even 600,000 would not be impossible, but that would shake the foundation of Qin State.

"Can you lose some?" Ying Zheng frowned. Although he knew that Wang Jian had his foundation, Qin was now carrying out imperial examinations and new laws, and he didn't want to shake the foundation of Qin.

Wang Jian was also silent. When he led his troops against Li Mu, he had not included the question of whether Wei would intervene. However, the leader of the expedition this time was Wu Chenzi. He thought it would be less, and the specific one still needed Wu Chenzi to determine it.

"What does General Meng think?" Wang Jian looked at Meng Wu and asked, kicking the ball to Meng Wu. After all, Meng Wu followed Wu Chenzi for a long time, and he also knew more about Wu Chenzi's command level and better understood how many people would Wu Chenzi want in the battle against Zhao.

Meng Wu had been considering this issue from the beginning, and then he also looked at Bai Yifei. In fact, Bai Yifei followed Wu Chenzi for a longer time than him.

Bai Yifei was stunned. What do you think of me? I have received an order to restrain Wei and Chu. What else do I have to do?

"Mr. Inner Shi thinks how many troops would you need if the National Master is here?" Meng Wu asked.

Bai Yifei thought about it and said that according to his understanding of Wuchenzi, Wuchenzi could not command troops at all, but he himself didn't believe this, so he shook his head and knew how many people would Wuchenzi want to destroy Zhao.

"You can't surrender again, right?" Meng Wu murmured in a low voice. Bai Yifei's rebellion in the entire Qin State did not know, but Wu Chenzi did this. If Zhao State had done this, he would probably not have to recruit from Qin State.

"I think if the teacher leads the troops, it may be 200,000." Chen Ping said.

"Hmm?" Ying Zheng and others looked at Chen Ping.

"Since the Battle of Changping, the entire Zhao State's elite were only 100,000 border troops, and there were 50,000 of these 100,000 border troops to stay in Yanmen County. Even if Zhao State could draw out 100,000 troops, the total was only 150,000. Shangdang County had always had 100,000 Qin troops stationed, so I think that it would be enough to send another 200,000 troops." Chen Ping explained that twice the force, with the teacher's strategy, could drag Zhao State to death.

"Will 200,000 be a little short?" Ying Zheng felt that 200,000 was a little short. After all, this was Zhao State, not Han, and after destroying Zhao, he would still have to lead his army south to meet Bai Yifei's three counties to destroy Wei and completely occupy the land of the Three Jins. Therefore, attacking Zhao is not just facing Zhao State alone, but also to be careful of Wei State sending troops.

"The king can send 200,000 troops first, and then draw 100,000 troops to train in Lantian Camp. If the war is not good, Bai Meng will lead the troops to support it." Liao thought for a while and said, there is no need to send so many troops at once, and so many troops will go to fight at the same time, so it will not be able to operate on Zhao's land.

"Will 200,000 be a little short?" Lu Buwei also frowned. It was Zhao State, not South Korea. Bai Qi could not take it back then. Moreover, because of the Battle of Changping, Qin and Zhao State were already dead. It can be said that the Qin army entered Zhao State, which was the situation where the whole country was enemies.

"Is there any way to contact Master Dao to ask for his opinion?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhang Han and asked.

Zhang Han shook his head. It took several thousand miles to go from Qin State Road to Mo's family, even if Ma Hongyan was fast going back and forth. In addition, Wu Chenzi ran around all day, so it was not easy to find him accurately. Who knew if he was still in the Mo's General Hospital.

"Maybe there is someone who can contact the National Normal University." Chen Ping suddenly spoke.

"Who?" Ying Zheng looked at Chen Ping and asked.

"Taoist Tianzong, Master Xiaomeng!" Chen Ping said. Master Xiaomeng's wife got married to her teacher at a young age and must have known the teacher's whereabouts.

"Are you saying that Master Xiaomeng is in Xianyang?" Ying Zheng asked in surprise. After the Guanzhong incident, Wu Chenzi went to Korea, and Master Xiaomeng returned to Taiyi Mountain. He also wanted to visit Taiyi Mountain, but as the king of Qin, it was very difficult for him to leave Xianyang.

"Master Xiaomeng is now in the National Master's Mansion!" Chen Ping said. Although he didn't know why Master Xiaomeng came to Xianyang, he helped take care of the National Master's Mansion, so he knew it as soon as Xiaomeng saw it.

Ying Zheng nodded. The incident in Guanzhong had a huge impact on him on Qin. He himself became a master of heaven and man, and he inherited Wuchenzi's path and established a great road for Qin. He should go to Taiyi Mountain for both public and private affairs, but Wuchenzi did not return to Taiyi Mountain, and it would not be of much significance for him to go.

"Scattered the court!" Ying Zheng thought for a while and said, this court meeting was to determine the matter of attacking Zhao, and it would not be solved in one or two days. Therefore, I would like to ask Master Xiaomeng first to determine Wu Chenzi's traces and ideas before making a decision.

"Spread the court!" The Qin Palace Da Changqiu also announced the end of the court meeting. All officials dispersed, only Liao, Lu Buwei, Chen Ping, Li Si and Wang Jian, and Meng Wu stayed.

"Set the National Master's Mansion!" Ying Zheng said.

Zhang Han nodded, immediately arranged someone to guard him, and took Ying Zheng and others to the National Master's Mansion in Xianyang City.

"I've seen the king!" Mo Chen was stunned when he saw the arrival of the king. He didn't know why the King of Qin suddenly visited the National Master's Mansion, and almost all the powerful officials from the Chinese court came.

"Master Xiaomeng can be in the mansion?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Report to the king, Master Xiaomeng is in the yard." Mo Chen lowered his head and replied, and at the same time, he asked someone to invite Master Xiaomeng.

"No need, I just wait in the living room." Ying Zheng said, completely treating the National Master's Mansion as his home.

Lu Buwei saw Ying Zheng treating the National Master's Mansion as his home, and he became inexplicably jealous in his heart. No, he would take Fusu over and raise him sooner or later, otherwise there would be no one to die.

"The King of Qin is here?" Dongjun was slightly stunned when he looked at Xiaomeng. Although Taoism has always had a high status among the vassal states, it is rare for a king of a country to come to visit with civil and military officials in person, and he was familiar with the National Master's Mansion as his own home.

"Wuchenzi fooled him." Xiaomeng explained. As for the relationship between Wuchenzi and Ying Zheng, she still didn't understand. Is it so good?

"..." Dongjun was speechless for a moment. Is Wu Chenzi trying to commit suicide? Even the King of Qin dared to fool him.

"Are you going?" Xiaomeng looked at Dongjun and asked. The King of Qin came to visit in person. She must have gone to meet him. Although she was also wondering why Ying Zheng suddenly came to visit. You must know that there are no men in the family and they usually don't ask for a special meeting. It would be nice to spread.

"Go!" Dongjun nodded. She also wanted to know what the King of Qin looks like today and why Donghuang Taiyi attached it so much.

In the living room of the National Master Mansion, Ying Zheng watched casually but did not sit in the main seat. Lu Buwei and others turned a blind eye to this. Fortunately, all the disciples of the royal family were sent out, and even Fengchang didn't know where they were thrown by Ying Zheng and the others, so no one specifically said that they were beyond the distance.

When Xiaomeng appeared in the living room with Dongjun in innocent Taoist suit and red outfit, Ying Zheng immediately stood up and looked at Xiaomeng and Dongjun, a hint of surprise flashed in his heart. It turns out that he is indeed a teacher, and only such a woman can match the teacher.

Xiaomeng and Dongjun were also looking at Ying Zheng. Xiaomeng frowned and saw a hint of unhappiness flashing in Ying Zheng's heart. If Wu Chenzi had not passed the Tao to this person, he would not have become like this now, and even Taiyi Mountain would not dare to know it. Dongjun looked at Ying Zheng a little surprised. He was actually a master of heaven and man, and he was surrounded by imperial luck and a prototype of a great way that seemed to be standing but not standing.

"Have you met the King of Qin!" Xiaomeng said coldly.

"Zheng met Master Xiaomeng!" Ying Zheng also spoke up, but he was a disciple's ritual.

"???" Dong Jun was stunned. Wu Chenzi was fooling the King of Qin into something. He didn't sit in the main seat and asked for a visit with the etiquette of his disciples.

"Why is the King of Qin coming this time?" Xiaomeng looked at Ying Zheng's voice, still cold, without any human fireworks.

Ying Zheng didn't care. Taoism is like this, teacher is like this, and Xiaomeng should naturally be like this. Only such a woman is qualified to be a teacher's wife.

"Master uncle may contact the teacher?" Ying Zheng asked. On the one hand, he asked Wu Chenzi for state affairs, and on the other hand, he also wanted to know the specific situation of the teacher after Guanzhong.

Xiaomeng frowned when she heard Ying Zheng's name, but the unhappiness in her heart was finally eliminated. She knew Wu Chenzi's Tao the most. Wu Chenzi couldn't bear it, and Taoism could not accept it. Therefore, the King of Qin may be the most suitable disciple to inherit Wu Chenzi's mantle, and Ying Zheng's current performance is not the arrogant emperor rumored by the outside world.

"You have something to do with your husband?" Xiaomeng asked gently, with less quiet and gentle voice.

Ying Zheng did not feel unhappy about Xiaomeng not calling him the king. Instead, he felt very helpful and comfortable. He did not regard himself as an outsider.

"After the incident in Guanzhong, I have been sending people to inquire about the teacher's information, but outsiders don't know the teacher's physical condition, so I also want to know the teacher's physical condition this time." Ying Zheng said, then looked at Lu Buwei and others, and signaled them to go out and wait.

"I'm waiting outside!" Lu Buwei and others also knew that Wu Chenzi's situation was a Taoist secret, and they were not qualified to know it, so they cooperated and retreated.

Xiaomeng was a little embarrassed. Wu Chenzi deliberately disguised himself as an old man to fool Ying Zheng. He couldn't explain it. I'm afraid that in Ying Zheng's impression, Wu Chenzi's image has become that old. When he found Wu Chenzi, he was frightened by the old man Wu Chenzi, let alone Ying Zheng, the person involved.

"My husband has recovered from his appearance, but his cultivation has been lost." Xiaomeng said after thinking about it.

"It's all the disciple's fault!" Ying Zheng felt guilty in his heart. As the king of Qin, why did Wu Chenzi wander outside and dare not go back to Taiyi Mountain? If Wu Chenzi hadn't taken him to truly understand the people's sentiments and passed on the great way to him, how could it have become like this?

"You don't have to blame yourself. Your husband does this naturally because he has his own considerations. But the king should not let his husband down. Your Tao is the lifelong belief of his husband and Taoism." Xiaomeng said.

"Disciple knows!" Ying Zheng nodded. Only by inheriting Wuchenzi's Tao can he truly understand how great the Taoism and Wuchenzi do for the world. Therefore, he has been working hard and sleeping day and night, and has never dared to slack off at all, for fear of letting down the teacher's expectations.

"Tell me, what do you want to do when you come to find your teacher this time?" Xiaomeng asked.

"Qin State is about to attack Zhao, destroy Zhao in one fell swoop, and the teacher is the main general." Ying Zheng said.

Xiaomeng frowned again, then shook her head and said, "Have you seen Li Mu?"

Ying Zheng shook his head. Although he had been a hostage in Zhao State for many years, Li Mu either led his troops or lived in Wu'an Jun's Mansion. At that time, he had no chance to come into contact with a person like Li Mu.

"No one can surpass Li Mu in terms of military tactics or personal strength today," Xiaomeng said.

"Is it better than the teacher?" Ying Zheng asked. He always thought that Wu Chenzi was omnipotent.

Xiaomeng thought about it before continuing to speak: "My husband once wanted to capture Li Mu, but Li Mu's personal force is too high, and we were discovered before we got close."

Ying Zheng was stunned, looked at Xiaomeng and asked, "Teacher once wanted to arrest Li Mu?"

"Yeah!" Xiaomeng nodded. When they were traveling around the world together, Wu Chenzi said that Li Mu was a hero, but he was also a sad person, so he wanted to capture Li Mu and let him escape the disaster. However, Li Mu's strength was far above them at that time, so they had to give up.

"Why did the teacher arrest Li Mu?" Ying Zheng asked in confusion.

"My husband said that Li Mu is a famous general in the world and a hero in fighting against foreign races. He should not die under the conspiracy of the Seven Kingdoms War. The border with Li Mu is the real border, which can make foreign races frightened." Xiaomeng explained.

Ying Zheng then realized that Wu Chenzi had already planned to do something to Zhao State, and he was relieved after considering the border affairs after the destruction of Zhao. It seemed that the teacher had already thought of a way to attack Zhao State, and he also had more confidence in destroying Zhao this time with Wu Chenzi as the main general.

"You can just ask Wang Jian to lead his troops to the war. At that time, your husband will naturally wait for them in Zhao State." Xiaomeng thought about it. She didn't know where Wuchenzi was now, but as long as Qin State moves, with Wuchenzi's personality, she will definitely appear in Zhao State.

Ying Zheng nodded, and then said, "There is another thing. I wonder how many troops the teacher needs for this expedition?"

Xiaomeng thought for a while and said, "My husband said that there are no one available in Zhao except Li Mu, and the total strength of the troops is less than 200,000. Therefore, destroying Zhao only requires taking Li Mu, and there is no need to do much force."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Zheng wants to ask his uncle to go to Zhao State to hand over the Emperor's Sword and Tiger Talisman to the teacher!" After that, he handed the Emperor's Sword on his waist to Xiaomeng, and took out the Tiger Talisman from his sleeve.
