Chapter 123 The situation is serious
The 300,000-strong coalition army of the six states in Guandong was divided into two groups, and it could really be said that they were coming in full force. Xiang Yan of Chu led an army of 150,000 and engaged in a fight with the main force led by Meng Ao of Qin at Yinjin on the border of Qin.

The coalition commander Pang Nuan and Prince Dan of Yan led the remaining 150,000 coalition troops and took a detour to Xianyang, Qin. When the news reached Xianyang, there was another round of chaos.

In desperation, Lu Buwei once again sent Meng Wu to lead the remaining Lantian camp to Zhicheng, a must-pass place to enter Xianyang, to fight against the second coalition army. In this way, there was really no soldier left in Xianyang City.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you take the Queen Mother, the royal family, and all the officials and relocate to Yongcheng to temporarily avoid the brunt of the conflict!"

"What a joke! Prime Minister Lu, as the King of Qin, facing the coalition of six nations, of course I must swear to live and die with the Qin Empire!

There's no need to talk about running away anymore!"

"But."

"Alright! Prime Minister Lu!
It is better to quickly issue a conscription order near Xianyang.

Organize an army of 100,000 men as soon as possible!"

Seeing that King Ying Zheng of Qin interrupted his persuasion, Lu Buwei was very unhappy, but he also knew that what King Ying Zheng said made sense, so he stopped pestering him.

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Seeing the first confrontation between King Ying Zheng of Qin and Lu Buwei, all the ministers in the hall showed amusement expressions. They suddenly realized that the Great Qin would eventually belong to King Ying Zheng of Qin. Then, thinking that King Ying Zheng of Qin would soon take power, the ministers had different thoughts.

Especially the Chu faction of Qin and the Ying clan, which had been suppressed by Lu Buwei, and even the foreign guest faction represented by Lu Buwei were somewhat touched.

Lu Buwei's decree was implemented very quickly, and the conscription order with the Qin King's seal was soon posted.

Seeing the rare conscription order and thinking of the recent buzz, the hostages and merchants of the six countries in Xianyang became excited and began to conspire together, hoping to achieve internal and external support at the most critical moment.

However, the legal department of the Qin Dynasty was not a pushover. It soon discovered the conspiracy of the hostages and merchants of the six countries and detained them without any mercy.

With the same conscription order, the common people of Qin State near Xianyang gathered happily and vowed to live and die with the Qin State. At the same time, thanks to the strict military merit system adopted by the Qin State, they quickly gathered an army of 100,000 people to defend the city of Xianyang.

Ever since the conscription order was posted, Ying Zheng put everything aside and stayed in the temporary camp, lingering affectionately in every corner of the camp.

The Qin soldiers who responded to the call were all excited when they heard that the young man before them was none other than King Ying Zheng of Qin. They said with tears in their eyes, "It is truly an honor for us Qin people to have such a caring king!"

"Yes! For my old Qin, our king and I, even if we die on the battlefield, we will have no regrets!"

Looking at the 100,000 temporarily recruited Qin soldiers and their fiery eyes looking at him, Ying Zheng felt his blood boiling and really wanted to raise his arms and lead these 100,000 old Qin people to attack the coalition forces of the six countries in Guandong.

But Ying Zheng was still very sober, not carried away by his passion. He came to a high place and looked at the passionate Qin soldiers in front of him, "My soldiers of the Great Qin, I am your king, Ying Zheng!"

"King! King! King!"

The Qin soldiers standing in the front heard Ying Zheng's words and responded excitedly. The ones behind him could no longer hear Ying Zheng's voice, but they also became excited when they heard the Qin soldiers in front of them passing on the message one by one. Then, all 100,000 people shouted together. The shouts of 100,000 people could really be said to be so loud that it could shake the nine heavens and swallow the ten thousand miles. It soon alarmed everyone in Xianyang City, and they all showed shocked expressions.

"The invasion of the six allied forces of Guandong shows that they fear our Great Qin! As long as we overcome this difficulty, we can begin to destroy the six kingdoms in one fell swoop and unify the world!"

Without loudspeakers and speakers, the sound needed to be transmitted among 100,000 people through the Qin soldiers' steps. Soon, the 100,000 Qin soldiers heard the ambitions of King Qin Ying Zheng, and their blood boiled again.

"Destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world!"

The shouts of one hundred thousand people, "Destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world," reached the sky like a huge thunderclap exploding out of nowhere. Lu Buwei was stunned on the spot, and then he realized that he had always underestimated King Ying Zheng of Qin.

"Wang Guan, our king actually has such a lofty ambition. Do you think he can achieve it?"

"Prime Minister, unifying the world is almost the common ambition of the six generations of the Qin State. Although our king is full of vigor and vitality, it is really difficult!"

"No! Our king is different from the six previous kings. He has the courage to speak it out in public! It's like a declaration to the world! Perhaps, our king can really unify the world!"

"Prime Minister, Wang Guan believes that if Your Majesty wants to realize his ambition of unifying the world, he must rely on the assistance of the Prime Minister." Wang Guan heard the fear and dread of Ying Zheng in Lu Buwei's words, and then sighed secretly.

Ignoring Wang Guan's words of comfort, Lü Buwei fell into deep thought. After a long while, he sighed helplessly, and then said in an inaudible voice, "Oh! I hope so!"

Madam Huayang looked at her younger brothers, Mi Chen, the Prince of Yangquan, and Mi Qi. "Mi Chen, Mi Qi, I think you've heard about King Ying Zheng of Qin's actions. What do you think of this?"

"Sister, a few days ago in the palace, King Ying Zheng of Qin and Prime Minister Lu Buwei had a mild fight. It seems that Ying Zheng is not very close to his cheap "father"!"

"Shut up! Such a ridiculous rumor actually came from the mouth of you, Lord Yangquan. It's really a disgrace to our Mi clan!"

Hearing his sister Lady Huayang's rebuke, Yangquan Jun Mi Chen was somewhat frightened. Still unconvinced, he grumbled in a low voice, "Sister, there's no smoke without fire. I find Ying Zheng's background truly difficult to explain!"

"That's enough! If you don't want our Mi family to be wiped out, stop saying that!"

"Aunt, uncle is just talking nonsense! Don't be angry, aunt! Mi Qi knows what you mean, but he thinks the situation is not clear now, and it is not the time for us, the Qin and Chu factions, to take sides." Mi Qi on the side quickly expressed his opinion to smooth things over.

Upon hearing Mi Qi's opinion, Lady Huayang sighed noncommittally, then said helplessly, "Alright! You guys decide on this matter yourselves! When King Ying Zheng of Qin completely takes control of the Qin Empire, things will be different if we, the Chu clan, take sides! I just hope that when the time comes, you won't blame an old, lonely woman like me!"

"Haha, what are you talking about, auntie! My uncle Yangquan and I will never be stupid!"

Mi Qi smiled, but he was very confident in his judgment, because he believed that the Chu faction was very powerful in the Qin State, and it should be King Ying Zheng of Qin who was anxious.

Looking at her younger brother Mi Chen and nephew Mi Qi, Madam Huayang shook her head helplessly. "I will not interfere with the Chu faction's stance! But King Ying Zheng of Qin is about to come of age and be crowned. I plan to have Mi Hua enter the palace and marry him."
