Above the court, the officials were silent, and everyone looked ugly.
This disastrous defeat greatly damaged Qin's national power. Upon seeing this, the small countries in the world who were still waiting to see the situation expressed their loyalty to Chu. Chu's national power had surpassed Qin's.
Pang Ming, Bai Jiayi and others knelt on the ground: "Please punish me!"
"Four hundred thousand men of the Qin Kingdom were ruined by you!" Ying Yiren said angrily, "You deserve to die!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Meng Yuan said slowly, "The Chu army is cunning, and General Pang and General Bai fell into the trap. They are indeed guilty of incompetence in combat! But now that the Chu State is powerful, it is very likely to attack our Qin State. Why not let them Several generals have suspended their duties, and when war breaks out, let them take the blame and perform meritorious service!"
"If you don't kill if you make such a big mistake, won't everyone think you can derelict in your duties? If you don't kill, how can I give an explanation to the people of Qin! Whoever pleads for mercy will be guilty of the same crime as them!" Ying Yiren looked cold and ordered: "Drag it down and kill it!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life!" Bai Jiayi called for help, but Pang Ming did not beg for mercy, but sighed: "The defeated general will only die."
All the ministers did not dare to speak. They found that Ying Yiren was even more ruthless than before!
Ying Yiren asked the ministers: "With the current situation, how will Qin face Chu?"
All the ministers were pretending to be dead. They knew that after this disastrous defeat, Qin's national power might take a turn for the worse.
Meng Yuan said: "In the opinion of the old minister, we should strictly guard the border and recuperate. After recovering our strength, we can then compete with Chu."
"That's all." Ying Yiren sighed helplessly.
…
Zhang Beichen has moved to the countryside because he lost his source of income after being dismissed. He couldn't afford such a big house and so many servants, so he dismissed all the servants and sold the house.
Now, he lives in the countryside of Qin State and has a field. He usually studies and cultivates the land, and studies the knowledge of Confucianism, Legalism, and military strategists.
As for Wei Bi, she had already left home and went on a study tour. I heard that she has become a slightly famous chivalrous woman, and she has also killed several demons that caused trouble.
"The State of Chu is strong, but the State of Qin is in danger!" Zhang Beichen looked at the situation and saw that because of the Qin State's rebellion against the nobles of the Chu State, the King of Chu began to purge the internal aristocratic forces. Now the Chu State is internally stable and the country is strong.
If this continues, Chu will inevitably attack Qin.
[Two years later, the King of Chu led 500,000 troops, led Xiang Mu, Fan Lue and others to attack Qin. 】
[Three consecutive cities of Qin were destroyed, and all the defenders were beheaded! The King of Qin immediately ordered Ying Ge to lead troops to defend the Chu army. 】
[After Pang Ming and others went out to fight, Qin State suspended Chu's offensive. However, the Chu army was still pressing forward step by step, losing one city in two months and one territory in five months on average. 】
…
A year later, when Ying Yiren looked at the map again, Chu State actually occupied two-thirds of the world's territory!
If this continues, let alone unifying the world, Qin will perish!
She summoned Jingping and her close associates for discussion.
"With the current plan, who can stop the Chu army?" Ying Yiren asked.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one said anything, and no one dared to recommend themselves.
After a long time, Jing Ping said tentatively: "Your Majesty, there is actually one person who can stop the Chu army. It's just..."
"Just what?" Ying Yiren asked.
"It's just that he has been idle for many years. If you use him, you may be able to save the situation." Jing Ping did not mention his name, but everyone knew who it was.
Of course it’s the Prime Minister of Qin, Zhang Beichen!
Although Zhang Beichen has been suspended, his position as prime minister has been retained by Ying Yiren.
"That man betrayed me!" Ying Yiren said coldly.
Jing Ping had a good relationship with Zhang Beichen, so he bravely said: "Your Majesty, now that the Chu army is approaching, the Qin State has reached a critical moment of life and death."
"If Zhang Beichen hadn't taken action, our Qin State might have been in danger of destruction! Besides, what happened back then, the Prime Minister was just confused by King Wei..."
"That's enough!" Ying Yiren interrupted him, she was upset when he mentioned this matter.
How could he let Wei Yao steal his home?
Jing Ping said no more.
Ying Yiren was silent for a moment and said: "Jing Ping, go and pass on my will and let Zhang Beichen immediately replace Ying Ge and resist the Chu army."
"I obey the order!" Jing Ping looked happy and hurriedly went to do the work.
…
A country house with a flat landscape and a happy visit to Zhang Beichen.
At this time, Zhang Beichen was working barefoot in the fields at home, covered in yellow mud.
"Brother Beichen!" Jing Ping shouted from a distance: "Brother Beichen, good news!"
Zhang Beichen stood up and asked, "Why is Brother Jingping so happy?"
Jing Ping held his hand and said excitedly: "Brother Beichen, Your Majesty has given an order to reinstate you to your original post to replace Ying Ge and stop the Chu army!"
Jing Pingyuan thought Zhang Beichen would be very happy, but Zhang Beichen just responded lightly: "Oh."
"Brother Beichen, you hurry up and pack up, I'll send you to take office!" Jing Ping urged.
However, Zhang Beichen just responded lightly: "Brother Jingping. You have also seen that now I am just a farmer, working at sunrise and resting at sundown. My talents are limited, and I have not been in charge of military affairs for a long time. How can I control it?" Where is the army going against Chu?"
"So, please tell me, Brother Jingping, to your Majesty. I am grateful for your great kindness, but I know that my ability is limited and I am not qualified. Please choose another talented general."
Zhang Beichen was also dissatisfied. In this time and space, Wei Yao, the only person he had a romantic relationship with, committed suicide after being placed under house arrest by Ying Yiren.
From the perspective of the Qin State, he did something wrong and did not report his relationship with the King of Wei to the Qin army.
But Ying Yiren is not his wife in this time and space! The intimacy between the two has not yet reached the level of love. Even because of the alienation in the past few years, the intimacy has been declining, and they are like passers-by.
Ying Yiren asked her to be suspended, and Zhang Beichen admitted it.
But Zhang Beichen is not a pawn in her hands. When he is useful, he will be appointed prime minister and given various rewards. If you haven't used it, just throw it aside and ignore it.
Zhang Beichen also has a temper. If you don't use it, then you won't be able to serve him anymore! What about unifying the world, you can play it yourself!
Even if Chu State annexes Qin State, so what? Although the King of Chu is a reckless man, he is not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. She should not do anything to her.
In this case, then in this simulation, be a good father, teach your daughter, accumulate experience, and experience life.
Hearing Zhang Beichen's words, Jing Ping became anxious and said: "Brother Beichen, you must not get angry with me! Qin is in danger! If you don't take action, no one can stop the Chu army!"
"Brother Jingping, if this is the case, I advise you to stop talking. Otherwise, you and I will never be friends! If you stay for dinner, that's fine. If you continue to be a lobbyist, then please leave!"
"You...how do you expect me to return to life with you? Hey!" Jingping sighed helplessly and said, "Then let's eat!"
…
Ying Yiren quickly received Jingping's reply.
[Zhang Beichen refused to be reinstated, saying he only wanted to be a farmer! 】
