Chapter 159
However, before he could react, Zhao Gao suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is still more!"
He cried out.
Ying Zheng was stunned. Was the Xiongnu have already breaching the Great Wall not enough? Was there something else?
He was shocked to the extreme!
Zhao Gao opened his mouth and continued:
"Not only have the Xiongnu have already breached the Great Wall!"
"Zhao Tuo reports that the Baiyue tribes with four hundred thousand troops have officially attacked Lingnan!"
"And the Baiyue are also attacking the Great Wall region!"
"What?"
The moment the words left his lips, Ying Zheng's brain buzzed with a ringing sound!
However, Zhao Gao had not finished speaking:
"In addition, secret spies have reported!"
"Thirty thousand peasant armies have appeared in the Wei River region!"
"We do not know who leads them, they are only shouting that they want to break into Xianyang City!"
"Now, now they have already reached Huashan!"
"Emperor!"
"The sky is collapsing!"
"The sky is collapsing!"
In that moment, Zhao Gao cried out in tears!
And upon hearing these words, Ying Zheng was simply stunned into numbness!
"What?"
"What?"
"Thirty thousand peasant armies have appeared in the Wei River region?"
"They are shouting that they want to break into Xianyang City?"
"Now... now they have already reached Huashan?"
Ying Zheng's eyes widened.
Even Wang Jian felt shocked.
But after a moment, he reacted, bowing down to Ying Zheng and saying:
"In the Lingnan region, our Great Qin has four hundred thousand troops; it is not easy for the Baiyue to conquer them!"
"Moreover, the cause of this matter is the new Emperor forcing nobles to pay taxes; the Baiyue are taking Chenciji Society to try to gain some benefit from Great Qin. This battle is certainly not a real fight!"
"As for Tuguan, there is even less to worry about. Tuguan is a small state; they are at most being forced by the Xiongnu people and only dare to launch some harassment, not dare to truly attack our Great Qin! Unless they do not want their country anymore!"
"The immediate priority now is the Xiongnu, and these thirty thousand peasant armies!"
"Your Majesty, time waits for no one; we must immediately send troops to Shang Commandery, and absolutely must not let the Xiongnu people break into Taiyuan!"
"Once Taiyuan falls, the entire front line will stretch out; at that time, it is very likely to turn into a protracted war of attrition!"
"Speed is precious in war; we must quickly send reinforcements to the Eldest Young Master!"
"In addition, there are the peasant armies in the Huashan region!"
"I do not know their origin or what they intend to do, but regardless, we must immediately sweep them away!"
"An unknown army wanting to break into Xianyang City is absolutely unacceptable; we must stop them!"
Wang Jian bowed down and shouted!
Hearing Wang Jian's words, Ying Zheng could not help but nod in admiration!
This old Wang Jian's eyes are truly sharp!
The calamity that fell from the sky in Zhao Gao's eyes!
In his hands, it can be completely handled!
The key is, what he said makes perfect sense!
Yes!
Zhao Tuo has four hundred thousand troops!
How difficult it would be for the Baiyue to defeat these four hundred thousand troops!
In the short term, they really cannot conquer them!
Tuguan is even more ridiculous; it is a country with only several hundred thousand people, and their total military strength nationwide does not even reach one hundred thousand!
If I wanted to destroy them, I would not even need to send many troops; I only need Wang Ben to take fifty thousand men to sweep them away!
The key is still the Xiongnu side and these suddenly appeared thirty thousand peasant armies!
These are the tricky matters!
But... how to handle this?
Immediately issue an edict for Tell Meng Wu and General Meng Tian not to return to Xianyang, but to go directly to Taiyuan, join forces with the Eldest Young Master Prince Fusu, and fight the Xiongnu together!
As for these suddenly appeared thirty thousand peasant armies, let Meng Yi take one hundred thousand troops to sweep them away!
Seeing Ying Zheng's mind instantly came up with a countermeasure!
But... just as these words reached his lips, suddenly, Seeing Ying Zheng laughed, looking over at Wang Jian and Zhao Gao:
"The situation is critical!"
"Ah?"
Zhao Gao and Wang Jian were both completely baffled!
Yes!
The situation is indeed critical!
But... but with such a huge matter, why did Ying Zheng suddenly laugh?
What is he laughing at!
Both of them were completely baffled!
And Ying Zheng's next words left the two utterly shocked!
"What does this have to do with me, the ruler?"
"Ah?"
The moment the words left his mouth, Zhao Gao was stunned, and Wang Jian was stunned too!
Ying Zheng smiled and said:
"The root cause of these matters is the disaster triggered by my rebellious son demanding that the nobles pay taxes; what does this have to do with me, the ruler?"
"If I were the Emperor, these matters would be my duty, and I would immediately take charge!"
"But the problem is... am I the Emperor now?"
"If I were to issue an order, wouldn't that be overstepping my authority!"
"Heh!"
"Zhao Gao!"
"Go to the palace!"
"Tell the Emperor Your Majesty about these matters and let the Emperor Your Majesty resolve them; these matters have nothing to do with me, an old man!"
"Now... I, an old man, am tired!"
"I need to rest!"
"Sleep!"
Having spoken, he paid no further heed to Wang Jian and Zhao Gao!
He simply turned around and headed straight for the bedroom!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Gao and Wang Jian were both dumbfounded!
At this very moment, they couldn't help but think: Is... is this the First Emperor we know?
Leaving such a huge state affair unattended, only to go to sleep?
At that moment, both of them were somewhat stunned!
However, they wasted no time and headed straight for Outside Xianyanggong!
Outside Xianyanggong!
At this very moment, Ying Su had already returned to the palace!
