The Dai army suddenly counterattacked, and the general Pang Xuan led an army of 100,000 to eliminate or expel the twelve outposts laid by Cheng Jiao in the Jinyang Plain.

The appearance of the Dai army was like a thunderbolt.

No one could have imagined that it took two months for Dai Guozu, who fled everywhere and could not shrink, to paralyze all the generals of the Qin army.

Now, two months later, it's almost out of the nest.

Cheng Jiao was covered in cold sweat and said, "What did you say?" 100,000 troops, 50,000 Hufu cavalry? How is that possible? ”

It's winning and winning straight, after a long war, I can't believe what Tunliu is facing now.

If the Dai army wants to attack them, why should they abandon the city?

Isn't it redundant to abandon the city and attack them?

Win and asked angrily, "Where is the enemy now, and how is the battle on the plains?" How dare you win? How's the catfish? ”

The messenger said again and again: "The enemy army did not besiege the city, but occupied all the key roads on the plain, and the nearest group of men and horses, still staying eighty miles away, was stationed, and did not besiege Tunliu, but Pu Ao was surrounded, we couldn't get through at all, and General Win Dare couldn't get out!" ”

Several generals drove away one after another, which was equivalent to cutting off Tunliu and Pu Yu in one fell swoop.

The connection between the two cities was severed.

Win until: "Chang'anjun, ask for help quickly, we must increase our troops, the vast plain is occupied by cavalry, and we have no way to escape!" For the sake of today's plan, the only way to do it is to keep it, and if we have a city, it is the only hope. ”

Cheng Jiao's cold sweat covered his forehead, and he said uncontrollably: "Yes, yes, yes, reinforcements, reinforcements!" ”

Win He said: "Now, we don't know when the Dai army will come to besiege Tunliu and ask for reinforcements, it can only be now, Cheng Jiao is in a letter, informing him of the war here." ”

"Report !! Oh no, general, the army dispatched 100,000 troops to surround the city! ”

"What? Where did they come from so many people. ”

Cheng Jiao and others brought their armor one after another, and the horses came to the city tower, at this time, on the city wall of the tunliu, the Qin army was lined up in an orderly manner.

Previously, all the Qin troops on the plain fled the plain, killing and wounding more than 10,000 people, before they could rush back to the city.

The wounded barracks were already inadequate, and even borrowed civilian houses.

Cheng Jiao looked at Dai Jun a mile away, and the cavalry were neatly arranged together.

There were infantry standing on their feet.

looked at Tunliu with fierce eyes.

Ying He looked at it and said, "Cheng Jiao, the Dai army should not attack the city." ”

Only then did Cheng Jiao realize: "They don't have siege equipment, so they can't attack the city." ”

At this time, Tunliu was surrounded, but it was really impossible to come to Kecheng without equipment, Cheng Jiao said: "What do they want to do?" ”

Ying Zhi frightened: "I'm afraid, they want to starve us to death." ”

In fact, at this time, the soldiers of the city tower who had been in war for a long time saw the intention of the enemy, and they were also afraid one by one, if there was no food and grass, this city would not be able to defend it at all.

Win and said: "For today's plan, we can only wait for the grain in Guanzhong, once the grain truck in Guanzhong can reach the Jinyang Plain, we can take the lead in attacking, and the inside and outside should be combined to break the enemy." ”

Cheng Jiao nodded and said: "What my uncle said is very true, pass on my order, the city tower will stick to it day and night, once the army moves, report to me immediately!" ”

Subsequently, one day!

3rd, 5th.

When Cheng Jiao came to the city tower again, he saw that the Dai army in front of him had actually retreated.

For a while, the Qin army on the city tower looked at each other, and this is leaving? Don't fight?

Cheng Jiao immediately ordered someone to investigate, and in the anticipation of the generals, the messenger brought back the news and said: "General, the last general has investigated clearly, and the acting army has withdrawn more than 100 miles and is stationed. ”

This news is undoubtedly the best news, more than 100 miles, if someone is sent to Guanzhong, no one can stop it.

Cheng Jiao said: "Wait a few days to see." ”

Three days later, the news came from the messenger that the Dai army had sent 50,000 horses to Pu Yu, and that the Dai army, which was 100 miles away, had begun to camp and was not ready to attack the tunliu at all.

At this moment, Cheng Jiao finally knew that the Dai army was not ready to attack Tunliu.

But why Dai Jun did this, no one can guess.

But at least one thing, Cheng Jiao knows that as long as there is food in Tunliu, he is not afraid of the army at all!

Since there is no siege blockade.

Then you can send a messenger, Cheng Jiao and the others finally couldn't help it, and continued to ask for help, bringing the news here back to Guanzhong by the way.

……

Lü Buwei looked at the letter in his hand in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then handed it to Sima Kong.

Sima Kong said: "Prime Minister, from the next point of view, this Ying clan's clan is afraid that this time it will be a big disaster, and the Prime Minister should be very careful." ”

Lu Buwei naturally knew what Sima Kong meant.

Although it is said that it is necessary to destroy Chengjiao, it must not be set on fire.

Lü Buwei pondered for a moment and said: "You repair a book for Ben Xiang, just say that there are not enough soldiers in Guanzhong, and the 100,000 troops are still in the hands of the Marquis of Saishang, and now that the harsh winter is coming, it is enough to refuse to defend it with the benefit of the city, and as for the food, this minister will send someone to transport it." ”

After hearing this, Sima Kong thought about it carefully, and said: "The prime minister sent grain and grass, and Chengjiao has a city to resist the harsh winter, it is indeed necessary to hold on, and the prime minister does this, and no one can say anything about it." ”

Lu Buwei said: "But Cheng Jiao said in the letter that Han and Wei united and attacked the grain and grass transported from Guanzhong last time behind their backs, and asked the prime minister to send a large army to escort it, what do you think?" ”

Sima Kong said with a smile: "Dispatch, naturally it is dispatch, if it is still successfully attacked, what does it have to do with the prime minister." ”

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and laughed.

As soon as the two sang and harmonized, they made up a plan.

As long as Cheng Jiao is dead, when the time comes, he Lu Buwei has a way to mediate the courtiers of Chu in this court.

You don't even have a prince, if you don't rely on me Lu Buwei, who else can it be, is it the Yingzheng who has not yet been in power? What's more, at that time, once he has the identity of Yingzheng's father, he will be the uncrowned king.

Lu Buwei smiled: "If Cheng Jiao doesn't have grain and grass, how long do you think it will take to be defeated?" ”

Sima Kong was stunned for a moment and said, "This, I'm afraid this is what happened before the heavy snow." ”

Lu Buwei nodded, thinking of this, he was already a little impatient, I really hope that day can come soon.

Lu Buwei suddenly said loudly: "I heard that the Queen Mother is sick, and as a minister of Tuogu, she didn't go to visit once, it's really a sin, prepare the car!" ”

Lü Buwei came to the Ganquan Palace.

Seeing that there was no one around, I was really inexplicably surprised, "Isn't it there?" ”

However, he suddenly heard the sound of the piano coming from inside, and knew that Zhao Ji was inside, so he pushed open the door and took a few steps to Zhao Ji's bedroom.

As soon as the person was at the door, he saw Zhao Ji's appearance, he hadn't seen Zhao Ji for two months, Zhao Ji at this time was a little delicate, wearing a golden crown, her eyebrows were blooming, her face was like a spring breeze, and her eyes were watery.

To his surprise, the joy of Zhao Ji's face and eyes was a color that he Lu Buwei had never seen before, and less than half a zhang opposite Zhao Ji Fuqin, there was a strange man sitting opposite.

At this time, although Zhao Ji's hands were stroking the qin, her eyes never left the man opposite.

Lu Buwei couldn't help frowning, took a step forward, revealed his figure, and said, "Queen Mother, the minister has come to see you." ”

The soft voice stopped abruptly, and Su Zheng closed his eyes and was silent.

Zhao Ji was shocked when he heard the sound, and when he saw the person coming, the whole person unconsciously moved back, and this scene naturally fell in Su Zheng's eyes.

Zhao Ji said: "Why are you here?" ”

Lu Buwei said: "The minister heard that the Queen Mother was in poor health, and she did not come to visit because of her busy government affairs, so please don't blame the Queen Mother." ”

Zhao Ji straightened his mind and said, "The palace is fine, since you have seen it, you can retreat." ”

Lu Buwei straightened his waist, and saw that Zhao Ji's words were cold, as if he had poured a basin of cold water on his head, he came here today, but he was in a good mood, and he was ready to talk to Zhao Ji, so that Zhao Ji could see the situation clearly, so that Zhao Ji could comply, how could there be one more person, and then, Lu Buwei looked at Su Zheng and said: "I have something important to say to the Queen Mother, you go down." ”

Zhao Ji instinctively grabbed Su Zai's sleeve, and the whole person hid behind Su Zai, and said, "Don't." ”

When Lu Buwei saw Zhao Ji's scene, he looked at Su Zai in disbelief, his eyes were full of anger, and he stared at Su Zai and said angrily: "Didn't you hear what he said? ”

Su Zai squinted at Lu Buwei and said, "Prime Minister, the Queen Mother doesn't want to talk to you much, you still want to speak out and persecute you, the Prime Minister is guilty of doing this!" Or did you not take the Queen Mother in your eyes at all, and did you not take the King's mother in your eyes at all? ”

Lu Buwei was furious and said: "What is your identity, dare to talk to the prime minister like this, the prime minister is to visit the queen mother, what is the purpose of your words and provocations here, could it be that you are from which country?" ”

Su Zai smiled: "It's the queen mother's musician!" ”

Lu Buwei glared at Su Zheng angrily and said, "What a musician of the Queen Mother, then do you know who the Queen Mother is." ”

Su Zai didn't give an inch, looked at Lu Buwei, and continued: "Although I am the queen mother's musician, do you know that in addition to being a musician, I am still the queen mother's musician." ”

Su Zheng's words surprised Lu Buwei.

Even Zhao Ji didn't expect Su Zheng to say this, and suddenly felt excited in his heart.

Even the hand that grabbed the sleeve of this Su Zheng was a little tighter.

How could Lu Buwei not see Zhao Ji's special features towards the man in front of him, at this time, the anger could be described as monstrous.

I'm afraid this person has the same idea as himself?

Looking at the beautiful Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei swallowed his saliva.

Lu Buwei took a deep breath and said: "Queen Mother, this person is frivolous, insulting the royal family, insulting the king, and asking the Queen Mother to punish the crime, otherwise it will ......."

Su Zai laughed and said: "Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei, otherwise, what, otherwise tell the king, saying that you insult the queen mother in your words, right, you go and sue, if you dare to tell the king, I really look up to you." ”

Lu Buwei's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "You, what do you mean?" ”

Su Zai sneered: "I don't know if Prime Minister Lu Cheng has heard of a sentence, what is a thief shouting to catch a thief, this thief is made out of nothing, and it is easy to explain to the king, but what about you, Prime Minister?" What you have done is a common outrage of people and gods. ”

Lu Buwei was full of cleverness, and the whole person instantly sobered up a lot.

was so frightened that he was even more in a cold sweat, even Zhao Ji couldn't imagine that Su Zheng would say this, Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Ji, suddenly understood, and said, "Did the Queen Mother tell you?" Who are you, the Queen Mother will even tell you about this? ”

Su Zai said: "Prime Minister, the Queen Mother doesn't want to tell the king, because this matter will cause a lot of trouble, the prime minister calculates his life, so that he has today's wealth and power, which is not easy to come by, the so-called full moon is lost, when the good life knows the situation, Ming advances and retreats, otherwise the wisdom of his life will be ruined, this is probably not what the prime minister wants to see." ”

Lu Buwei glared at Su Zheng and said, "I don't need you to teach you a lesson. ”

After saying that, Lü Buwei left.

Zhao Ji's tense body relaxed, and she blushed and loosened Su Zheng's sleeves, but her face was red.

Su Zai asked, "What I said just now, but what do you think?" ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said: "Zheng'er has no foundation in the Qin State, if this matter is used by someone with intentions, it will definitely be unfavorable to Zheng'er, I don't want this matter to be known by Zheng'er." ”

Su Zheng looked at Zhao Ji and said, "In order to protect the king, so, you are willing to be coerced by Lu Buwei?" Let him keep his mouth shut, right, then let me ask you, do you hope that Lü Buwei will die or do you want Lü Buwei to retire? I can do it for you. ”
