Chapter 116

"The entire court of civil and military officials welcomes the First Emperor!"

Zhang Han also did not hesitate and bowed directly:

"The entire court of civil and military officials welcomes the First Emperor!"

"Wang Wang Jian!"

Ying Zheng finally looked at Wang Wang Jian.

Wang Wang Jian’s eyebrows were tightly knit, but he still bowed: "The entire court of civil and military officials welcomes the First Emperor!"

"However..."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Wang Wang Jian said, coughing frantically:

"However, this subject is old. Regarding the matter of attacking Xianyanggong, I have the heart, but... cough... I fear... cough... I lack the strength."

He said this while coughing frantically, and then, unable to stand steadily, he actually sat on the ground with a thud!

"You..."

Ying Zheng was furious, his eyes staring fixedly at Wang Wang Jian at that moment.

Why did he invite Wang Wang Jian over?

The reason he let Wang Wang Jian come was precisely to make the attack on Xianyanggong go more smoothly, wasn't it?

But now... Wang Wang Jian was actually claiming to be seriously ill?

Ying Zheng was boundless in his rage!

But he also understood why Wang Wang Jian was doing this!

Li Li Yuanba!

Wang Wang Jian was cautious his whole life in using troops. With an invincible powerhouse like Li Li Yuanba around, even Wang Wang Jian was unwilling to go to great lengths!

Moreover, with one hundred and fifty thousand men in Xianyang City, which was only fifty thousand more than Ying Su had, Wang Wang Jian was simply unwilling to take the risk!

This was the same logic as when he attacked the Chu State!

It was clear that three hundred thousand men could destroy Chu.

Yet Wang Wang Jian insisted on seven hundred thousand!

Old Wang Wang Jian, he sought stability!

Ying Zheng saw through Wang Wang Jian’s thoughts, smiled on the spot, and handed the secret letter sent by Meng Wu to Wang Wang Jian!

Wang Wang Jian took a look, and in an instant, his hair stood on end!

Li Li Yuanba...

Li Li Yuanba... he had actually left Xianyang City and appeared on the front line?

"Is... is this true?"

Wang Wang Jian was stunned, and at that moment, he even stopped coughing!

His eyes were flashing with light!

Ying Zheng smiled: "Naturally true. Currently, Li Li Yuanba is fighting Xiang Yu’s four-hundred-thousand-strong army!"

"What?"

Once these words were spoken, Wang Wang Jian was greatly shocked. So that was it!

No wonder Ying Zheng dared to attack Xianyanggong; the crux of the matter was here!

But... Ying Su was bold enough too!

He actually dared to send Li Li Yuanba out. Was he really unable to recognize the situation?

But suddenly, he started coughing frantically again and bowed to Ying Zheng: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

He kowtowed repeatedly!

And when this sentence was spoken, even Wei Wei Liaozi was shocked!

But likewise, he was also excited and bowed to Ying Zheng:

"If there is no Li Li Yuanba, Xianyanggong can be attacked!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand against one hundred thousand, it can definitely be taken!"

"But... but the problem is... what if Li Li Yuanba returns?"

He asked, now feeling worried!

And this question of his directly brought out Wang Wang Jian’s worries as well.

The reason he continued to cough later was precisely because he was worried about Li Li Yuanba returning, wasn't it?

He had seen Li Li Yuanba’s ferocity with his own eyes.

Not only did he take Xianyanggong alone, but he also killed all fifty thousand garrison troops!

With such combat power, even old Wang Wang Jian felt fear!

And upon hearing Wei Wei Liaozi’s words, before Ying Zheng could speak, Feng Feng Qiji immediately laughed:

"In this battle, even with Li Li Yuanba participating, it will take at least a month!"

"And if we can take Xianyanggong within half a month and capture the Sixth Young Master alive, then, by using the Sixth Young Master as a threat, even Li Li Yuanba would likely not dare to act rashly!"

He said, looking at Ying Zheng!

And Ying Zheng had exactly this thought, saying to everyone: "With the rebellious son in hand, Li Li Yuanba will not dare to act rashly!"

"Now is the opportunity to attack Xianyang City!"

"Wang Wang Jian, I order you to be the main general, with Zhang Han and Meng Yi as deputy generals. I limit you three to take Xianyanggong within half a month!"

"Do you have any objections?"

Ying Zheng asked, his gaze looking towards Meng Yi, Zhang Han, and Wang Wang Jian!

Meng Yi and Zhang Han naturally had no nonsense and bowed directly: "Yes!"

However... the two of them were ultimately not Ying Zheng’s focus!

His greatest focus was still Wang Wang Jian!

Yet, at this moment, Wang Wang Jian coughed frantically, covering his chest while coughing, and waved his hands repeatedly:

"Your Majesty! My... my body is truly not up to the task!"

"Now... cough... I am old... I am old!"

He called out, coughing more and more violently at this moment!

And at that moment, Ying Zheng was furious, his eyes staring fixedly at Wang Wang Jian!

At this moment, he only wanted to ask what Wang Wang Jian meant!

But... in front of so many people, he also understood that some things were not easy to ask directly.

He simply dismissed everyone, leaving only Wang Wang Jian, and then roared at Wang Wang Jian: "Wang Wang Jian, stop playing dumb with me. I don't blame you for pretending to be sick and making trouble in ordinary times!"

"But now!"

"What do you mean by this now!"

Ying Zheng was boundless in his rage!

Wang Wang Jian coughed while saying weakly: "Your Majesty, I... I am naturally willing but lack the strength! Now I am old, I am no longer the Wang Wang Jian who could destroy five states back then!"

"This is the main reason!"

"Besides this, I have two other worries!"

"Firstly, even without Li Li Yuanba, the Sixth Young Master has one hundred thousand troops. And as for Han Xin, I have also come into contact with him; he beat me once in a sand table game. If I were in my prime, I could still compete with him, but now, in my old age, how can I have the energy to clash with him?"

"Secondly, may I ask the First Emperor, if the Sixth Young Master is captured, who will the throne be passed to in the future? Who will be the crown prince?"

He asked.

And when these two worries were spoken, Ying Zheng was simply stunned!

The first was that Han Xin had actually beaten Wang Wang Jian on the sand table?

One must know, Wang Wang Jian was a master of the sand table!

Even looking at the entire Qin State, there was no one who could beat Wang Wang Jian on the sand table!

Yet... Han Xin had actually won?

This person... just how powerful was he!

And besides this, there was Wang Wang Jian’s second worry!

Who will the throne be passed to in the future?

This question made Ying Zheng’s eyebrows knit tightly!
