"Brother, you have been on the front line of Jingshui for so many years, and you must know the Wei army very well."

"Brother, if the Wei State attacks our Qin State this time, how many troops will it send?"

If the news of the arrival of Wei Wuzu just received has already weighed a huge stone on Ying Qian's heart;

So the question that Ying Quliang asked at this moment put another heavy weight on Ying Qian's already depressed chest.

Silence once again became the mainstream in the big tent, and the thoughts in Ying Qian's mind were flowing rapidly.

"Eight years have passed since the last war in Hexi. During these eight years, except for the destruction of Yiqu, the Wei State has not had any large-scale wars. It can be said that the Wei State today is more powerful than it was eight years ago.

Already."

"Although Wei is still competing with Qi in the east, judging from the fact that Wei's soldiers have arrived in Yueyang, Wei's main target this time may still be Qin."

"Perhaps the reason why the Wei State met with the princes in such a big way was to deceive others..."

Ying Qian's analysis immediately made Ying Quliang's brows furrow deeper, and it was only at this moment that he finally understood something.

Why did Wei State clearly have hundreds of thousands of troops, but only sent tens of thousands of soldiers when facing Qi State, a powerful opponent?

The target of the Wei State, which had been quarreling for a long time, was never the Qi State in the east, but always the Qin State to the west of the Jing River.

A huge sense of urgency immediately pressed against Ying Quliang. The next battle may be related to the demise of Qin.

"Wei Wuzu is the most elite army in the Wei State. This time this army arrived in Yueyang, it shows that the Wei State is already determined to win over our Qin State."

"If I were Pang Juan, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army on the opposite side, in order to ensure the success of this attack on Qin, I would mobilize at least 150,000 troops, or even..."

"More!"

The inference that Ying Qian said made Ying Quliang stand up, and he quickly calmed down from the shock and immediately realized that this was not alarmist.

Hanoi, Hedong, Hexi, Qindong, Yiqu...

According to Wei's current territory and the strong national strength accumulated by its population, Wei can still provide an army of 200,000 or 300,000 soldiers, not to mention 150,000 soldiers.

After understanding what kind of opponent he and Qin were about to face, Ying Quliang looked directly at Ying Qian with extremely solemn eyes.

"Brother, the Jingshui camp under your command has 50,000 soldiers. It is far from enough to resist the Wei army."

"I will immediately send an order to the 50,000-strong army stationed in Chencang to march eastward, under the command of you, eldest brother."

"With this 100,000-strong army and the Jingshui defense line blocking it, we expect to be able to withstand the Wei army for a period of time."

At this critical juncture of the great enemy, as the king of Qin, Ying Quliang showed his strong courage.

Hearing everything, Ying Qian's face showed unprecedented solemnity at this moment.

"The last general is Ying Qian, and I will obey your Majesty's orders."

Walking up to Ying Qian step by step, Ying Quliang's eyes revealed a hint of gentleness.

"Originally, I wanted to have a few more words with my eldest brother, but Wei Guo is obviously not willing to give you, my brother, this opportunity."

"The situation is so urgent, Quliang needs to return to Yongdu immediately to make preparations for the upcoming war."

"I'll leave it to my brother on the Jingshui front line."

Looking at the smile that was finally forced out of the face in front of him, Ying Qian felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He didn't know what to say, so he could only say slowly: "Don't worry, Quliang, the Wei army will never break through this Jingshui defense line before I die."

…

The hustle and bustle of the day gradually faded away, and the silent night gradually fell in Yongdu, the capital of Qin.

When the city gate slowly closed with a squeezing sound of wood, the torches in the hands of the Qin army soldiers lit up at the top of Yongcheng City, and a slightly urgent sound of urging horses appeared outside Yongcheng.

"Drive, drive, drive..."

"Who is coming?"

"Your Majesty, please return to the city and quickly open the city gate."

The city gate was opened by the response of the Qin army's cavalry. Qin Duke Ying Quliang, who had galloped all the way, led a group of cavalry and rushed into Yongdu.

The arrival of Ying Quliang and his entourage gave the Qin capital a chilling atmosphere of war.

"Xu..."

Soon after, accompanied by a long sound of horse control, the war horse under Ying Quliang finally stopped in front of the palace gate in Yongdu City. There was already a young man leading a group of palace people waiting here.

After quickly dismounting, Ying Quliang handed the reins of the war horse to the soldiers who came forward. Ying Quliang ignored the long-awaited palace servants and walked towards the palace step by step.

"Doctor, are Chang Shi and others here?"

Facing Ying Quliang's inquiry while walking, the young man who had been following him quickly responded: "Your Majesty, after receiving your order, I immediately sent palace officials to invite you. Now they are all in the main hall.

Waiting for you, Your Majesty."

"Supervisor Jing, you did a good job."

After taking a look at the eunuch behind him who had been serving him all this time, Ying Quliang said with satisfaction, and then continued to walk forward on his own.

After another moment, Ying Quliang finally arrived at the main hall of the Qin Palace, where all the important officials of the Qin State had also been waiting for a long time.

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

Seeing the gate of Ying Quliang's main hall, all the important officials of Qin State immediately bowed and said, "I will pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

"You don't have to be polite."

Instead of making any false gestures to the important officials of the Qin State in front of him, Ying Quliang just stretched out his right hand and raised it slightly, and immediately looked at everyone with seriousness.

"Summoning you all into the palace so late at night is not what I want, but the situation is actually extremely urgent."

"Everyone must know that I have just returned to Yongdu from the Jingshui front line. This time I have brought you some not so good news."

Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, Ying Quliang said coldly: "The State of Wei is about to send a large army to attack our State of Qin."

Shocked expressions did not appear on the faces of these Qin ministers. Although the war had not officially started yet, they could still feel that the war was approaching step by step.

With a serious expression on his face, Zheng Sheng, the senior official of Qin State, who was standing in front of everyone, slowly took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, is this true?"

"Sir, gentlemen, I received news not long ago that Wei Wuzu has arrived in Yueyang."

Everyone present knew what Wei Wuzu meant. After hearing the news, the last trace of luck in their hearts disappeared.

Since this battle is unavoidable no matter what, we should simply gather all our strength and fight Wei in a bloody battle.

Almost at the moment when he realized what the situation was, Dr. Zheng Sheng's eyes suddenly burst out with a strong fighting spirit.

"Your Majesty, over the past few years, our country, Qin, has been consolidating its national strength through reforms."

"Although the time of Qin's reform cannot be compared with that of Wei, it also greatly increased the national power of Qin."

"Now that the Wei State wants to attack our Qin State, we, the Qin State, must not refuse to fight. We, the Qin people, cannot let the Wei people underestimate us."

After finishing this impassioned speech, Zheng Sheng just calmly uttered one sentence.

"Your Majesty, accept the challenge."

"Your Majesty, accept the challenge."

"Your Majesty, accept the challenge."

…

The sounds of war one after another rang in his ears, and Ying Quliang's heart became more determined.

"I have made up my mind. Since the Wei State wants to fight, then I, the Qin State, will accept the fight!"
