In the court of Zhao State, after the ministers finished their salutes.

Zhao Bao immediately stepped forward and said: "Great King, the battle report ahead, Lin Hu and the Lou Fan tribe have united with their affiliated tribes, gathered more than 100,000 troops, and attacked Yanmen Pass in a big way!" At present, General Li Mu is leading 150,000 troops to resist the defense in the pass. ”

Zhao Dan was shocked at first, this Lin Hu and Lou Fu have been attacking occasionally for several years, but they have never launched such a large-scale military operation, how can they suddenly mobilize the army now.

The first thing that Zhao Dan thought of was the rumor, the rumor that Li Mu had been in Yanmen Pass for several years, not more than half an inch, even if the locals were grazing outside, they immediately retreated to Guanzhong when they saw the Huns, and the name of the rat made Zhao Dan extremely angry, and he also felt that Li Mu had broken his face.

Several times he wanted Zhao Cong to replace Li Mu's position as the coach, but he was advised by Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao.

In fact, in history, he really did this, but he was defeated by the Huns, and finally had to let Li Mu guard it again.

Zhao Dan said coldly: "Could it be that this Donghu person expected that Li Mu would not dare to fight, so he couldn't attack in a big way, hum!" ”

Zhao Bao said: "According to rumors, it is said that it was more than a month ago, General Li captured Lin Hu's Shao Dan Yu, so that Donghu launched this attack, but my Zhao Guo Xiongguan refused to defend, as long as it is not out, this Donghu will definitely return." ”

In fact, in his heart, Zhao Dan hoped that Li Mu would take this opportunity to break Donghu, after all, Zhao Guo needed a victory.

Zhao Dan nodded and said: "The people of Beidi, there is nothing to worry about, but few people think about it, if Li Mu can hit Beidi hard this time, he will definitely sweep away the haze of Zhao's previous defeat, and now, the rest of the countries are also people's hearts, or they can use this to win a big victory to appease the countries, what does the prime minister think?" ”

Zhao has always been the main force of the rest of the countries to resist Qin, and although Korea and Wei also border Qin, they are not strong enough after all.

Zhao Dan's mouth of Beidi, refers to Donghu, in the Xia, Shang and Zhou Central Plains rich, at that time, the Central Plains people will be the east, west, north and south of the different races distinguished, called the four Yi, respectively, Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, Beidi.

Zhao Bao naturally understood what Zhao Dan meant, and after thinking about it, he said: "The minister thinks that the king's meaning can be brought to Yanmen Pass, presumably as long as General Li knows the king's meaning, he will definitely take action, and then let people bring back General Li Mu's meaning, and the king will know." ”

While the ministers were discussing, suddenly a voice came, alarming the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!

"Report ...... The king of the three hundred miles express, the general of the Qin State Su Zheng, pulled out 40,000 troops, crossed the west of the river, went straight to Jinyang, has been ten miles outside Jinyang, camped. ”

"What, Su Zheng? The Su robbery that took the widow to the party? Zhao Dan stood up in shock.

The full hall of civil and military officers couldn't help but be shocked and began to discuss.

The herald said: "This is the main general of Jinyang, Zhao Ying's own handwriting, refusing to explore the horse in Jinyang, the Qin army was discovered by our army after crossing thirty miles west of the river, and the starry night was approaching the city of Jinyang." ”

Zhao Dan was furious, "Concubine! An dared to be so arrogant, thinking that my Zhao State could not be bullied, tyrannical Qin was unrighteous, and just sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and attacked Jinyang the next day, it is really a rat! Everyone, who will talk about it, how to deal with it! ”

Zhao Cong said: "The king is worry-free, in the eyes of the minister, this Su Zheng child is afraid that he will be carried away by the victory of the party, and the minister thinks that the Qin army will be defeated." ”

Zhao Dan held back his anger and said, 'Why? ’

Zhao Cong said with a smile: "This concubine is a little child, he has committed a taboo in the army, and he actually crossed the river west from Dingyang, although he can quickly reach Jinyang, but Jinyang to Hexi is a plain area, and it is impossible to hide the march at all, and he can't do a surprise attack at all, this is one of them." ”

"40,000 tired troops are attacking in the starry night, and my Jinyang is a 100,000 defender, fortified city walls, how to attack, let it enter the city will be killed will not leave a piece of armor, this is the second."

"If our army takes advantage of its unpreparedness, leads the army to rush and kill, and forces its 40,000 Qin troops to retreat to Hexi, it will be a battle against the water, and the soldiers will be taboo, and this is the third."

"Jinyang is an important city of my Zhao country, how can it be so easy to take it, An is arrogant and ignorant, and the king has no worries."

Zhao Cong's words made the ministers also nod their heads, which is indeed the case.

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Bao and said, "What does the prime minister mean?" ’

Zhao Bao nodded and said: "This battle is as General Zhao said, in the land of the Jinyang Plain, even if it is an ambush, it is impossible, but the old minister has heard that this Qin State general Su Zheng is unpredictable, so such a march must be his intention." ”

"If our army easily attacks the city and kills, it weakens the defenders in the city, if he hides an army to take the opportunity to attack Jinyang, then Jinyang is in danger."

"Hiss......"

After listening to Zhao Bao's words, the ministers figured it out one after another.

"That's right, there must be a back hand for such a march, not to mention the general of the Qin State!"

Zhao Dan couldn't help but gasp and said, "The prime minister still knows the key point, and he almost fell for the trick, so what does the prime minister think?" ’

Zhao Bao said: "Zhao Ying, this person, acting steadily, has also marched with me for many years, presumably he will not go out of the city to attack so easily, in fact, this battle is indeed as General Zhao Cong said, our army has no possibility of defeat." ”

"The city of Jinyang is tall and strong, even if hundreds of thousands of Qin troops come to attack, they can hold on for two years if they refuse to defend it, and the Qin army of 40,000, even if it is a hidden army, it is impossible to fight for a long time, and behind the army of Su Zheng is Hexi, it is impossible to increase the number of people and supplies, as long as our army does not come out, at most half a month, it will be defeated without a fight."

Zhao Bao's words, to put it bluntly, are soldiers who surrender without a fight, and you consume more, you have no food and grass, I have more, how do you fight with me.

Zhao Dan nodded and said: "This is a foolproof strategy, Jinyang is the old capital of our country, the land of Longxing of the ancestors of my Zhao Kingdom, there must be no mistakes, pass on the widow's order, order Que and the city guard to reorganize the army, once Jinyang has any situation, we must go all out to save it." ”

The envoys of the five countries are currently in Handan City.

Soon, the news that Su Zai, the general of the Qin State, led his troops to attack Jinyang spread throughout Handan in an instant.

One by one, they sent out shadows to Jinyang and Que You!

also sent people to send the news back to the capitals of various countries, Qin Guogang took the party, and now he is actually plotting Jinyang.

However, no one thinks that Su Zheng will win, there is really no reason to win.

……

Xianyang Palace, among the palaces.

Zichu sat in the hall with the support of the eunuch order.

Zi Chu's restrained figure made the ministers suddenly frightened in their hearts, Zi Chu, who was obviously in his prime, was getting worse and worse day by day.

This is a bad omen.

"Zhongqing has something to do!"

Lü Buwei said: "King, according to the Malay report, after dusk yesterday, General Su Zheng and General Wang Yu led an army of 40,000 to cross the Hexi. ”

The ministers were shocked, although they knew that General Su's goal was to take down Jinyang, but at this moment, when it was really wartime, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

The importance of Jinyang is far greater than the seventeen cities of Shangdang, if Jinyang is conquered, Shangdang is really impregnable.

The importance of Jinyang to Zhao is self-evident, as soon as Jinyang is broken, the last barrier of Zhao is Que and the lonely city!

Zi Chu said: "Since Su Qing personally led the troops, the widow has no worries, before Su Qing's victory, Zongzheng, Prime Minister, the two of you will definitely report Su Qing's fief and title to the widow, and the widow will give such loyal ministers." ”

As soon as this battle began, Zi Chu said that he was victorious, which shows how much trust and favor he has for Su Zheng.

Zong Zhengdao: "The king, regarding General Su's fiefdom, the minister has prepared some rosters, and after the prime minister has seen it, he will finally let the king decide." ”

Zichu nodded!

Lu Buwei's expression changed slightly, and he didn't speak out immediately, but he quickly said: "King, there is something that the old minister wants to ask the king. ”

"Oh? What is the Prime Minister puzzled about? ”

Lu Buwei said: "In the early years of Jia Yu Zhaodi, he lived in Jinyang for several years, knowing that the strength of this city must be easy to defend and difficult to attack, the king did not win and rewarded first, the old minister did not object, however, the old minister wanted to know, if Jinyang did not win, then the king rewarded or not?" ”

Lu Buwei's words suddenly made the courtiers look sideways.

I wondered what this Lü Buwei meant.

Zi Chu was also puzzled: "Does the prime minister think that General Su can't capture Jinyang?" ”

Lü Buwei said: "Jinyang 100,000 male soldiers refused to defend, our army 40,000 attacked, the Zhao army stuck to the city, to wait for work, our army long-distance attack, tired of men and horses, Zhao army has a que, and our army is isolated, this battle, is to my short, attack the other's long." ”

Lü Buwei's three parables made the courtiers talk about it.

Zi Chu was silent and looked at Lu Buwei.

Lü Buwei continued: "However, the old minister thinks that General Su has a strange plan, and he should consider these things, even if he does not win, he will not be defeated, but when the time comes, will the king's first reward be given? ’

Which of the people present is not a long-standing court, and their hearts and eyes are clear, what does this Lu Buwei mean, isn't it just to see that Su Zheng's meritorious service is too fast, and it has only been a long time, and he has to be crowned a king.

This is the case in the court, one moment, maybe you are still friends, but if you are threatened, the next second, you will be suppressed.

Thinking of him Lu Buwei, he went through hardships and dangers and exhausted his family wealth, so he was named the Marquis of Wenxin and ate 100,000 yi.

As for Su Zheng, after a few battles, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will climb to his head Lu Buwei.

However, what Lu Buwei said is indeed reasonable, 40,000 tired troops to attack the 100,000 defenders of the fortified city who are waiting for work, even if you let go of the city gate to kill you, you will definitely be defeated, and the 40,000 Qin army's raid on Jinyang has long been discovered, and it will not play a role in a surprise attack at all.

It is a taboo to reward before victory, and Lu Buwei also grasped this point, forcing Zi Chu with words, even if he can't take back his life, but this move will definitely reduce the weight of Su Zheng in Zi Chu's heart.

During the reign of King Qin, only one person had done the first thing to be rewarded before victory, and that person was Wang Qian!

Just when Zi Chu didn't know how to answer, Gong Yu suddenly stepped forward and said, "King, the old minister has something to say." ”

Lu Buwei looked at it and said in his heart: "You old guy again!" ”

Gong Yu ignored Lu Buwei's angry gaze and said, "The king, the old minister thinks that whether Jinyang wins or not, he should be rewarded, and he should be rewarded heavily!" ”

Zi Chu looked at Gong Gong and said, "Why did the old general say that." ”

"General Su, Qin's humerus, the heavy general of the court, the six kingdoms of power, through the heavens and latitudes, rare in a hundred years"

"Entering Zhao alone, seeking Zhao Sheng, driving Lian Po, counting Li Mu, saving the proton, with this merit alone, may I ask the prime minister, whether to reward or not!"

As soon as Gong Yu finished speaking, Zong Zheng said to Zi Chu: "King, the minister seconded the proposal!" ”

The Ying clan represented by Zongzheng, although the rights are not as important as those of Lu Buwei and others, the weight of words is immeasurable.

This represents the meaning of the Win family, the rivers and mountains that Su Zheng has laid down are all for the win family, and he will naturally get the support of the Ying family.

Zi Chu nodded and said, "The widow thinks so! ’
