During this period, he looked outside the palace from time to time, and suddenly, a shout: "King, the front-line battle report!" ”

Su Zai opened his eyes, his eyelids jumping.

Ying Zheng was also stunned, isn't it good news?

Suddenly stood up from the desk in shock.

I saw a soldier, his face was full of horror, panting like a cow, he still couldn't hide it, and his face was panicked.

And the courtiers also became nervous from sleepy eyes.

Su Zheng knew at first sight that something big had happened at the front line.

The people who came to the ground knelt on the ground with sorrow, prostrate on the ground, and said: "King, Zhao General Li Mu took down Yi'an, Pingyang, and Chili with 80,000 elite soldiers, and then sent an additional 100,000 troops to capture more than ten cities such as Wucheng and Feicheng, and our army was defeated, and the 200,000 troops of Yi'an Chili alone were killed 120,000, and now General Huan Qi has retreated to Quwo. ”

Ying Zheng thought he had misheard.

But Su Zheng and a cadre of generals and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all stunned by the news that came back.

Ying Zheng was stunned, and said in a low and angry voice: "What did you say? The 200,000 outnumbered army was killed by Li Mu's 80,000 people, and 120,000? How is that possible, and what exactly did you do? Say to the widow, 'What about Huan Qi?' What about Wang Qian? ”

Ying Zheng's voice trembled a little, so that the whole hall of civil and military atmosphere did not dare to come out.

120,000 people.

When some of the old ministers of the clan heard this, they fainted directly in the hall, and Yingzheng didn't care about it at all, but looked at the soldiers who came to summon the news with fiery eyes.

Hu Tang only died 100,000 people back then, when did the Qin State encounter such a big defeat, when did it lose so many cities.

The messenger said: "General Wang Jian didn't arrive at all, Pingyang was secretly sent by Li Mu to attack the city, and easily captured the city. Confronted Li Mu Yaoyao. General Huan Qi's 80,000 remnants of troops in Quwo are demoralized? Heavy casualties, no desire to fight at all? It's really hard to counterattack. ”

Ying Zheng roared angrily: "Isn't this a reason for the widow to say that you were defeated? The widow gave you 200,000 soldiers and horses, and sent an additional 100,000 troops? 300,000 troops, even 80,000 Zhao troops can't resist? What is the use of the widow asking him to be angry? How do the widows explain to the Qin people in the world, and how do the 120,000 soldiers who died in battle explain to their relatives? Say, "How have you been defeated?" ”

The soldier presented the prepared bamboo slips with both hands.

Don't wait for Zhao Gao to come down and take the bamboo slips.

Su Zai said: "The king is angry? Let's take a look at this Jianchen first? It's being said to everyone to listen. ”

The national lieutenant was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Qin State, and at this time, Huan Qi made such a big mistake, so he naturally wanted to be held accountable.

Su Zheng unfolded it, looked at it carefully twice, and the eyes of the people in the court all looked at Su Zheng.

Su Zai said: "The king? This Li Muqin led 80,000 Zhao troops to take advantage of the terrain in the north of Yi'an? With 30,000 people using the terrain to line up, confusing the sight of Yi'an's 100,000 army? It secretly divided 30,000 lightly armed foot soldiers, with the secret help of South Korea? Smuggled to Lin'an? Raided Binh Duong? When General Huan Qi found out, it was expected that Li Mu's northern army was insufficient, so he could only take a strong attack to destroy Li Mu and then go to rescue Pingyang, but he was ambushed by Li Mu, Li Mu attacked our army from the flank with another 20,000 cavalry, leaving only a gap in the south, and deliberately let Huan Qi lead Chili's soldiers and horses to flee back to Quwo along the Fenshui, during which he was ambushing, and our army suffered a total of 120,000 casualties. ”

At this time, the ministers understood.

Ying Zheng was also dumbfounded and said: "South Korea? What a Korea! What a Zhang Liang! The widow really shouldn't keep you! And this Li Mu, who is so bold, dared to raid the rear wing of our army with 30,000 troops. ”

Su Zheng then said: "King, for many years, my Qin State, the attack must be victorious, in fact, the minister knows that the soldiers in this army have long had the habit of underestimating the enemy, but Li Mu is good at fighting, and he must have already understood the reason why our army's flank and rear do not pay attention, so he dared to raid the rear wing of our army with 30,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Then Su Zheng continued: "Li Mu's strategy is interlocking, as soon as the rear of Pingyang is lost, our army's sharp spirit will be lost, and Li Mu's ambush is lost, the army is defeated like a mountain, and the Zhao army in the barrier is chasing Yu Fenshui with victory, our army at that time, it will naturally feel that there are enemies in all directions, and it is destined to defeat the strong with the weak." ”

Ying Zheng closed his eyes in pain.

He turned around and muttered: "I didn't expect that the elite division of my Qin State would actually sacrifice 120,000 soldiers in the hands of the widow. ”

Time.

The ministers knelt on the ground and shouted one after another: "Please also ask the king to send troops quickly to avenge the soldiers of my Qin State!" ”

Ying Zhengyin's eyes were red, and his eyes were watery.

He thought of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died on the front line, and the accumulation of corpses and bones made him angry, Zhao Gao looked at the fists held by Ying Zheng, and almost embedded his nails in the pillars.

At this time, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered what Han Fei said about the internal and external reserves.

That is, the establishment of spell potential.

If this is not punished, then the whole Qin country is hundreds of thousands of proud soldiers!

Ying Zheng turned around suddenly, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhao Gao, pass on the widow's order to Quwo, give Huan Qi death, and bring his body back to Xianyang for burial!" ”

Only then did everyone understand that it was impossible for the king to let go of such a serious crime without punishment.

But the king ordered a thick burial, which is enough to prove that the king is the law has grace, and grace has the law, and for a while, no one dared to come up to plead.

Su Zheng nodded secretly.

This is the magic power that Han Fei said, the practice of Yingzheng will not lose the authority of the king, according to the Qin law, such a big defeat will not only die, but also accept the family as official maids.

But Yingzheng did not do so, which is enough to be extrajudicial.

At this moment, a man suddenly stood up and said, 'Don't be like this, your lord, the minister has objections!' ’

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be Xiangbang Xiong Qi.

One by one, they all quieted down, Xiong Qi and Huan Qi had a very good personal relationship, not only that, but the two were also the second daughter's in-laws.

Ying Zheng looked at it and said, "Xiangbang doesn't think it's right for the widow to do it?" ”

Xiong Qi immediately said: "King, as the saying goes, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, General Huan Qi has made great achievements for the Qin State, attacking Zhao, attacking Korea, and attacking Zhou are all the first achievements, but today the king is beheaded because of a defeat, isn't it too ruthless?" If the soldiers in front of them heard that the king was so unkind, who would kill the enemy with the strength of death? And who will conquer the city for the king? ”

After listening to Yingzheng, he sneered again and again in his heart.

For a while, I felt that what Han Fei said was more correct!

He responded loudly: "Xiangbang, Huan Qi has military merits, and the widow should be rewarded by himself, and if he is rewarded by the widow, he should be the forerunner of the widow, and there is also an ancient saying that the general is in the army, and the soldier will die, and the lives of the 120,000 soldiers of my Great Qin are miserable in the hands of the enemy, and the lone Huan Yu survives, isn't it a loss of virtue for the general!" Attack will be rewarded, and will be punished, which is the foundation of my Qin State, Xiangbang said that because the widow punished Huan Qi, the soldiers will not be effective, this is the law, or the love? Do the soldiers believe in widows, or do they believe in Huan Qi? ”

Time.

Xiong Qi was speechless.

Yingzheng issued a military order, and no one dared to intercede.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng said: "Everyone, the war ahead is a foregone conclusion, for the sake of today's plan, that is, to discuss how to attack Zhao State, a shame before the snow, the widow will never let the 200,000 soldiers of my Qin State die, it is bound to seek justice, and give me an explanation for the people of Qin State." ”

Suddenly, the court began to discuss.

Gong Yu said: "The king, the minister thinks that the victory of the Zhao army lies in the surprise attack, not the disarmament of our army, and now although the Zhao army has won a new victory, but after all, the heel is not stable, if you take this opportunity to counterattack immediately, it will have a miraculous effect." ”

The truth of the Gong Gong makes many people feel that it is reasonable.

The Qin army was defeated, defeated by carelessness and underestimation of the enemy, but in terms of morale, only 80,000 troops and horses were demoralized, but if the troops of Shangdang and Wang Jian were mobilized to attack, it would make the soldiers have a heart of revenge.

Meng Wu took a step forward and said, "Great King, the minister thinks that he should repair for a period of time and then attack the strategy!" ”

Ying Zheng looked at it and asked, "Why does the general think so?" ”
