Chapter 83: Preparing to attack Wei, the princes are vying to volunteer to lead the army!

Ministers such as Feng Quji, Wei Liao, and Bie Gong also successively recommended the princes they supported to Ying Zheng, hoping that they could take this opportunity to achieve military merit.

Ying Ziye looked at the ministers who were arguing endlessly, closed his eyes and rested, with an expression as if he was not involved.

His achievements were already remarkable enough, and conquering the State of Wei was just icing on the cake and had little significance.

If Ying Zheng asked him to lead the army, he would go to war.

If not, he would be happy and at ease.

"Your Majesty!"

"I think it is most appropriate for the Second Young Master to take command!"

"The three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Chu were all conquered by the second prince, and it took only a short time with minimal losses."

"I think that letting the Second Young Master take command will help us conquer the State of Wei at the lowest cost!"

Li Si stepped forward and strongly recommended Ying Ziye to Ying Zheng.

This surprised Ying Ziye. He didn't expect Li Si to recommend him.

However, he was only slightly surprised, and then he was relieved, his attitude as calm as that of a Buddha.

"Your Majesty!"

"Although the Second Young Master is powerful, he has successively destroyed the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Chu, and has made outstanding contributions to the Qin Dynasty."

"However, Prince Fusu is the eldest son of the king and has not yet achieved any merit. I think we should give him a chance to make military achievements for the Qin Dynasty."

When Chunyu Yue heard Li Si recommend Ying Ziye, he was horrified and hurriedly spoke out, fearing that if he was too late, Ying Zheng would make a decision immediately!

After all, Ying Ziye's reputation is too great!
It has to be said that Chunyu Yue's timing of making his suggestions was just right.

Originally, when Ying Zheng heard Li Si's suggestion, he almost decided to let Ying Ziye lead the army.
However, as soon as Chunyu Yue finished speaking, a hint of hesitation flashed across Ying Zheng's face.

There is no doubt that he dotes on Ying Ziye.

But Fusu, as the eldest son, has carried heavy expectations since he was a child.

He felt that his son should be given a chance to prove himself.

"Um"

"In that case, let Fusu lead the expedition!"

"Appoint General Wang Jian as Fusu's deputy general and lead an army of 100,000 to attack the State of Wei!"

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and gave a decisive order.

"."

"Uh, my king, are the 100,000 troops a little short?"

Changping Jun stood up slightly embarrassedly, as he knew Fusu's abilities very well.

Thinking of annexing the State of Wei in one fell swoop with only 100,000 soldiers and horses is simply a fantasy!

After all, he is Fusu, not Ying Ziye.

Despite their different positions, Changping Jun had to admit deep down in his heart that in terms of military talent, a hundred Fusu were not as good as Ying Ziye.

If it weren't for Ziye, there would probably be no one in the court who could lead an army of 200,000 to conquer a country.

"Ah! I was negligent. It wasn't Midnight who led the army."

"Then send another 100,000 soldiers, for a total of 200,000 troops!"

"Wei is weak, with few soldiers and generals. An army of 200,000 is enough to conquer it!"

After being reminded by Changping Jun, Ying Zheng reacted immediately and hurriedly sent an additional 100,000 troops to Fusu.

Ugh.
Am I really that incompetent!?
Fusu was hurt by Ying Zheng's words and burst into tears!
How he wanted to stand up and loudly declare to Ying Zheng: Father, I only need 10,000 soldiers to conquer the State of Wei!
However.
When the words came to his lips, they turned into: "Father, can you add another 100,000?"

puff-

Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, his face full of helplessness, and the corners of his mouth twitched!

For the Wei State, 200,000 soldiers were not enough, and they wanted another 100,000! ?

What a waste!
At this moment, Ying Zheng began to regret letting Fusu lead the troops!
"Your Majesty!"

"Prince Fusu is doing this out of caution to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Please grant me your approval, Your Majesty!"

"That's true!"

"Sending an additional 100,000 troops will only help!"

Ministers such as Chunyu Yue and Changping Jun came forward to explain for Fusu.

Although this may make Ying Zheng look down on us, it can ensure that the battle to attack Wei is foolproof.

"Okay! Okay!" "Then I'll send you another 100,000 soldiers!"

There was helplessness in Ying Zheng's tone, but he still agreed. His originally good mood was ruined by Fusu.

"Thank you, Father!"

"I will never fail in my mission!"

Fusu was overjoyed and immediately bowed down to express his gratitude.

Wei State, Daliang City.

When King Wei heard that Qin had sent troops, he immediately panicked.

"My dear ministers, the Qin army has 300,000 soldiers and horses approaching our border. How should we respond?!"

The civil and military officials of Wei State looked at each other in silence.

How to do it?

They are also desperate!
Otherwise, just surrender.
Many ministers did not have the courage to confront the Qin State and were secretly planning to submit to it.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to fight against the Qin army!"

When all the ministers of Wei State were speechless, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji stepped forward resolutely.

Even though he had been coldly treated in recent years, as a member of the royal family, he could not sit idly by and watch the State of Wei go to ruin.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!"

"I will immediately allocate 300,000 soldiers to you. You must resist the Qin army's attack!"

When King Wei saw Xinling Jun's determination, he felt as if he had grasped the last straw and agreed without hesitation.

If there was anyone in the Wei State who could resist the Qin army, it would be Wei Wuji, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period!

"I will obey the king's order!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"The leader of this army is Fusu, the eldest son of Qin."

"Compared with the second son Ying Ziye, he is nothing but a waste, not worth mentioning at all!"

Wei Wuji's words were full of contempt for Fusu. If Ying Ziye led the army, he would definitely be afraid.

However, facing Fusu, he could only smile helplessly.

Wei State, Anyi City.

This is the throat fortress of Wei State, and anyone who wants to attack Wei must pass through here.

Lord Xinling Wei Wuji led an army of 300,000 to station here, vowing to stop the Qin army's advance.

Fusu, the eldest son of Qin, led an army of 300,000 and arrived at the city of Anyi.

"General Wang Jian, when do you think we can capture Anyi City?" Fusu asked Wang Jian beside him easily while sitting in the chariot.

His face was filled with confidence, as if capturing Anyi City would be a piece of cake.

However, Wang Jian, a veteran of many battles, was not optimistic after learning about the situation in Anyi City.

"My Lord"

"The State of Wei has assembled an army of 300,000 in Anyi, including 50,000 of the famous Wei Wuzu, led by the world-famous Lord Xinling Wei Wuji!"

"This city is not easy to conquer!"

Wang Jian's face was solemn as he told Fusu the truth.

This time, without Ying Ziye's bravery in breaking the city wall with one sword, the Qin army could not drive straight in.

With the defense of Lord Xinling Wei Wuji and the renowned Wei Wuzu, I wonder how many soldiers' lives will be sacrificed!

To be honest, what Wang Jian hoped in his heart was that Ying Ziye would lead the army to reduce the casualties of the soldiers.

However.
The court situation was complicated and full of factions, and he had no control over it.

Moreover, the Wang family is a prominent military family with a special status and they never get involved in the disputes among the princes over who will be the crown prince.

He can only obey the king's orders!

"General Wang Jian, rest assured, our Qin army is an elite force that is invincible in the world!"

"The small city of Anyi will be easily captured!"

Fusu, who had never been to the battlefield, did not understand the cruelty of war. He only made rash guesses based on the military books he had read. He was exactly the same as Zhao Kuo, the general of the State of Zhao at that time - the Zhao Kuo who only talked about military strategies in vain.

Ugh.
Looking at Fusu's appearance, Wang Jian's heart was filled with worry.

The eldest son Fusu.
Does he really have the ability to command troops?!
