Chapter 21: Suspicion I

Zhao Xiaocheng was the seventh year of the king, and the thirteenth year of the king of Wucheng, in December, at the end of the year.

Lian Po, the commander of the Zhao army, took advantage of the fact that the Qin army was exhausted and paralyzed in attacking Handan City for several months, and led the Zhao army to raid the Qin army at night, killing the five colonels of the Qin army, causing more than 20,000 casualties to the Qin army. It greatly relieved the pressure brought to Zhao by the Qin army's siege of Handan City.

After this battle, the morale of the Qin army became more and more low, while the morale of the Zhao army and civilians became more and more high.

Wang Ling, the commander of the Qin army, led the Qin army to retreat more than 50 miles from the city of Handan after the defeat.

In addition, the New Year was approaching, and the weather was bitterly cold, and the Qin army did not launch a new round of attack on Handan City, the capital of Zhao State.

During this period, the siege of Handan, the capital of Zhao State, was temporarily lifted. Fifty miles outside Handan City, I re-camped and rested, preparing for the New Year.

In this way, it gave the soldiers and civilians of Zhao State in Handan City a short period of respite. And Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, the third batch of food, weapons and equipment to assist Zhao State, also took this opportunity to transport from Zhongyang County to Handan City.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to enter Handan City, there was also Xin Yuanyan, an envoy sent by Wei Yuan, the king of Wei.

Wang Ling, the commander of the Qin army, discussed with the deputy general of the Qin State, Meng Biao, and other generals, and then wrote to the Qin King Yingji, explaining to the King of Qin that at this time, the situation of the Qin army on the front line of Handan in Zhao State.

He also advised Qin Wang Yingji to either let the Qin army retreat, or send reinforcements to the Qin army.

In late December, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, the royal palace.

Qin Wang Yingji sat in the hall, after reading the front line of Handan, after reading the book of Wang Ling, the commander of the Qin army, his face was gloomy and he was speechless.

Qin Xiang Fan Ju was below, and after looking at Yingji's face, he felt uneasy in his heart.

I knew in my heart that I also had a lot of responsibility for causing the current situation of Qin State to be so passive. Last year, I listened to the words of the old man of the Su Dynasty and persuaded the King of Qin to withdraw, and the army of Qin led by Wu Anjun Bai Qi did not march to Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

Therefore, Qin Xiang Fan Ju was only afraid that Qin Wang Yingji would be angry with him.

Seeing that Yingji's face was ugly, Fan Ju said to King Qin with a heart:

"King, this Zhao Kingdom is also strange! After the Battle of Changping, the 450,000 elite people of the Zhao State have been annihilated by our Qin army! It's only been a year now, where did this Zhao country come from, and so many elite soldiers came out? ”

After listening to the words of Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju, Qin Wang Yingji put the letter written by Wang Ling, the commander of the Qin army, on the table.

Then, slamming the table hard, he slowly stood up.

The king of Qin said to Qin Xiangfan Ju: "Xiangguo, the incompetence of the five doctors and the king's tomb caused our army to be defeated under the city of Handan. It seems that my Qin army, I have to let Wu Anjun get up in vain and go out in person to take Handan City! ”

At this point, Qin Wang Yingji jumped out from between his teeth word by word: "Xiangguo, didn't Wu Anjun call himself sick at home?" This time, the widow went to him in person and asked him to lead his troops to Handan to command our army. ”

Seeing this, Fan Ju knew that King Qin did not blame himself, so he was at peace in his heart, and hurriedly said to King Qin:

"Your Majesty, that Weichen accompanied my king to Wu'an Jun's mansion?"

Yingji looked at Fan Ju, shook her head, and said to Fan Ju, "No need. The widow went to see Wu Anjun alone this time to see how he faced the widow? ”

After listening to Yingji's words, Qin Xiang Fan Sui frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and bowed to King Qin and said, "No." ”

King Yingji of Qin came to Wu Anjun's mansion, stopped Wu Anjun's mansion, and reported it. After asking the next person, I knew that Wu Anjun Bai Qi was now reading in the study, so he asked people to lead the way, all the way to the study where Bai Qi was.

When Yingji entered the study, she found that Bai Qi was looking through a book of bamboo slips at the table, not noticing her arrival.

King Qin said to Bai Qi: "Wu Anjun, you are so comfortable and free now!" ”

Bai Qi raised his head and took a look, only to find the arrival of King Qin Yingji.

Frightened in his heart, he hurriedly stood up, left the desk, walked forward, and when he arrived in front of King Qin, he knelt down and bowed to Yingji:

"The last general will rise in vain, bow down to my king!"

King Qin waved his hand and said to the dialogue: "Wu Anjun, you get up!" Between you and the widow, let these false gifts be spared. ”

"No." After Bai Qi finished agreeing, he stood up.

Yingji looked at Bai Qi's face and found that it was quite healthy, so she said to Bai Qi: "Wu Anjun, is your body better?" ”

Bai Qi looked up at King Qin's face, and found that Yingji's old face was full of love, and his heart was also a little moved.

But at this moment, you can't treat King Qin, you are not sick!

On this issue, Bai Qi did not talk much. He said to Yingji: "Your Majesty, let my king worry, the ministers deserve death." Chen's body still feels a little weak, and it is estimated that it will be completely fine after a while. ”

Then, he bowed down and stretched out his right hand, stretched out to the main seat of the desk, and said to King Qin Yingji: "Please take a seat." ”

After Qin Wang Yingji sat down in the main seat of the white desk, he pointed to the cushion opposite the desk and said:

"Wu Anjun, you can sit too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing Bai Qi on the opposite cushion, he knelt down and sat down.

Qin Wang Yingji didn't politely say to the dialogue directly: "Wu Anjun, is your heart disease better?" ”

When Bai Qi heard King Qin like this, he didn't know how to answer.

He could only bow his head and reply to King Qin: "Your Majesty, don't dare to get up in vain!" ”

Yingji saw Bai Qi and was respectful to herself, and she still felt very comfortable in her heart. Xin said: "Even if you Wu Anjun are famous outside, the people below will change color when they hear it." But under the widowed kingship, you Wu Anjun is a fart! ”

King Qin smiled and said to the dialogue: "Wu Anjun, you also know that this time, the army of our Qin State is attacking Handan of Zhao State, and now it is frustrated. You're a general, what do you think about this? By the way, you can speak freely, and the widow will not blame you. ”

Bai Qi raised his head, looked at King Qin Yingji and said, "Your Majesty, you let your ministers speak freely?" ”

King Qin immediately said to Bai Qi: "But it doesn't matter. ”

Bai Qi looked at King Yingji of Qin and said to him: "Great King, my king is here this time to let the last general go to the front line of Zhao State, lead my Qin State army, and attack Handan, the capital of Zhao State, right?" ”

Yingji looked at Bai Qi, nodded slightly, and said slowly to Bai Qi: "How?" ”

Bai Qi shook his head and said to King Qin: "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being powerless!" ”

King Qin's eyes narrowed, and he said to Bai Qi: "Wu Anjun, why is this? ”

Bai Qi replied to Yingji: "Your Majesty, now that my Qin State is attacking Handan, the time has passed. The last general has already said that if you attack Zhao at this time, you will lose the battle! This is the minister's heartfelt words, please me Wang Mingjian! ”

Yingji is a little angry, the widow has come to invite you to "come out of the mountain" in person. The face has also been given to you, why did you, Wu Anjun, still talk to me like this now? If you fight back, you will lose? Where do you put this old face of widowhood?

King Qin stared at Bai Qi, and couldn't help but say loudly to Bai Qi: "Wu Anjun, you are a victorious general, you have won a hundred battles, and you have never been defeated. As long as you go to the city of Handan, you will lead our army. How can there be a city that cannot be attacked? What about the invincible enemy? ”

Bai Qi shook his head and said to King Yingji of Qin: "The king has praised Weichen falsely. The battle in front of Handan will be heard by the general. Now the soldiers of the Zhao army are really united and extremely brave. ”

"Your Majesty, this is not something that can be decided by the merits of a general! The so-called war can only be guided by the situation, and it is irreversible! Whether or not you can defeat the Zhao army and capture Handan must depend on many conditions, and it is not something that can be decided by the minister alone! ”

After listening to Bai Qi's words, Yingji nodded slightly, and said to the dialogue:

"Wu Anjun, the widow didn't come here to listen to you. These truths have long been known to the widows. The widow just wants to ask you, are you willing to take command of the expedition this time and share the worries of the widow? ”

Without waiting for Bai Qi to answer, Yingji said to Bai Qi again: "Wu Anjun, the widow knows that most of the generals of my Qin State army are from Wu Anjun's men. This important task of the Qin State military aircraft, I am afraid that it has not yet reached the ears of the widow, but it has already arrived at the mansion of Wu Anjun first! ”

"Wu Anjun, it's right to be a widow, right?"

When Bai Qi heard this, he was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Qin Wang Yingji to be so suspicious of himself now! That's not a good thing for me!
