Chapter 8 A small test

Shangjun, at this time, the soldiers of Zhao have jumped over the west water of the Qin-Zhao border, and Shangjun is an important city above the raw water, for Qin, this place is the north gate of Qin, that is, there is only a few games with the Xiongnu, and at the same time it is hundreds of miles away from Lin Yang of Zhao, in fact, Qin and Zhao have not fought a lot recently, especially for the hegemony of Wei at that time, there is still little local cooperation between the two countries, but now Zhao suddenly invaded the territory of Qin, which made the Qin people feel very unhappy, At this time, Shangjun seemed to be already in the eyes of the Zhao people, as if it was within reach.

Wang Qian, who was far away in Pinyang when he was young, couldn't bear it, and was originally going to lead troops to Zhao State, but now it's good, he hasn't gone to Zhao State in person, but this Zhao State suddenly sent troops to come, Wang Jian was furious.

"Wang Qian, what are you angry about, what can we do in the battle in Shangjun? Then again, if you really want to go to Shangjun, what can you do as the fifth commander, Zhao Guo is leading an army of 20,000 alive, and a mouthful of saliva is enough for you" Yan Ying said.

But at this time, Wang Jian asked rhetorically: "Have you finished speaking?" ”

"When it's over, why are you so serious?"

"Yan Ying, listen well, first of all, you are no longer a centurion and I, but a fifth captain, and you are my soldier, remember" Yan Ying was dumbfounded, she had never seen Wang Jian with such a temper, so Yan Ying didn't seem to know what to say.

Then Wang Jian told Yan Ying and everyone: "Furthermore, what is the location of Shangjun?" Back then, the Sixteen Barbarian tribes took turns to attack, fighting for three days and three nights in a row, and we didn't leave the city Now, the Zhao State wants to devour it, as Qin people, are you worthy of the older generation of Qin people on your ancestors? Everyone looked at Wang Qian, and then Wang Jian continued: "After Shang Jun changed the law, he strengthened the Qin State, and the warriors who trained him struck hard at the Wei State, which had always dominated the Central Plains, amazed, amazed! Now that you and I are all iron-blooded men, how can you be a little slacking off in this matter?"

Everyone looked at Wang Qian, and looked at this Wang Jian who usually doesn't talk much, but now he has endless patriotic words, which is really amazing! However, of course, relying on lips and enthusiasm alone has no effect, and everything must be based on practical actions.

Then Wang Jian said: "Shangjun, the enemy has an army of 20,000, and I, Wang Qian, only need a thousand, a thousand!" I, Wang Qian, will be able to restrain the enemy, stop the Zhao army from moving south to Diaoyin, and between Diaoyin and Shangjun, completely retreat the enemy army."

"Wang Qian, your words are very beautiful, but with just one captain, how can you mobilize a thousand people? Give you a thousand people, will you call? Besides, call a thousand people? Aren't you going to be comparable to Commander Yu? ”

After the soldier's words, I saw Wang Jian respond and said: "One person blocking twenty people, the emphasis is on strategy, not on bravery, who is comparable or not, this is not important, but the important thing is that we must understand who to fight for, as long as we can understand this, let alone block the enemy army before Diaoyin, even in Shangjun, we can still successfully stop the Zhao army from advancing westward."

At the moment, Wang Qian's bold words did not seem to be recognized by the soldiers, so the fiery Wang Qian's heart seemed to gradually cool down, and the current reality wore out the young soldier's will little by little.

Wang Jian clenched the saber sleeve on his waist tightly, and then said calmly: "You should all be iron-blooded men, hey..." Wang Jian turned around and didn't know how to express it, and then Meng Tian happened to look at Wang Qian, and Li Xin, Yan Ying, and Xu Mu on the side all looked at Wang Qian, and then Li Xin took the lead and said: "Wang Qian, I, Li Xin, will go to Shangjun with you, even if it's just the two of us, we can't let Zhao State bully our Qin State."

"Li Xin, Li Xin, you kid always likes to say something about separation, you go with Wang Qian? What about me? What about my Yan Ying? Do you think I'm a bastard? Don't dare to go, right? Isn't it just a death, what are you afraid of?"

Then Yan Ying drew his saber and stuck it on the ground, looking at Wang Jian with a listless expression: "Captain Wu, I'm so scared, but brother, if you want to die, we will die together."

"Yan Ying!" Wang Jian stared at Yan Ying, and then two swords were inserted in front of Wang Qian, which were the weapons of Meng Tian and Meng Yi: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I, Meng Tian, am a war maniac, I might as well die if I don't fight" Meng Tian's words just finished speaking, and then Meng Yi said: "I... I'm not very good at expressing it, all in all, this sword is what I think"

"Good brothers, our captain's brothers are all heroes!" Yan Ying said enthusiastically, and then everyone looked at Xu Mu who was lazy on the side.

"Ah, I'm scared to death, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes," Xu Mu said.

And Meng Tian said in a grand voice: "Captain Wu has five soldiers and you are the last one, how are you thinking about it?"

"Consider what?"

"Everyone has just been talking for a long time, you should be a fart" Meng Tian rushed to Xu Mu, and at this time, Xu Mu, who reacted very quickly, said: "What are you fierce, you all use swords to express your thoughts, and I use a bow and arrow, when you haven't expressed your position, my arrow feather says it all, you see, Wang Jian has been touching his waist sword cover, have you seen the sword?" Definitely not."

Several people looked at Xu Mu blankly, and then listened: "My Xu Mu's arrow feathers have always been with his Wang Qian's sword, and they are heart-to-heart all the time, can you understand it?" It turned out that from the very beginning, Xu Mu had already expressed his position, so the five people led by Wu Chang seemed to have reached an agreement and were ready to set off.

At this time, some of the soldiers wanted to join, but were stopped by their companions and a small number of soldiers: "Do you think your life is long? Do you have to die? ”

The other soldier commander stood up directly, looked at Wang Jian and said: "If you want to send you to death, you go yourself, our soldiers will not follow you to die in vain."

Although Wang Jian listened to the slightest coolness, but because there were a few brothers who followed closely, it was a little comforting, at this time, Brunei walked towards Wang Jian and said: "My brother is a thousand commanders, you need a thousand soldiers, we will give it to you"

The soldier sneered: "Ouch, it's good now, a corrupt official still pretends to be high, how can he suddenly become a patriotic hero, it's rare."

"Brunei is not interested in dealing with these gossips, but Brunei is indeed at the moment, and I sincerely want to help you Wang Qian, it depends on what you think."

When Brunei said this, it can be understood as representing his own meaning, but he asked his other brothers to borrow soldiers, and they are thousands old, and in the eyes of everyone, Wang Jian has never commanded more than 100 soldiers to fight, and he has not played anything as a military commander. If the gamble is lost, who can take the blame? Brunei dares to gamble, but Wang Jian doesn't want this, Wang Jian doesn't like to embarrass people the most, in fact, five people are enough in Wang Qian's eyes, not to mention his five good brothers: "Wen Chang, if you really want to support me, please don't support my soldiers, because soldiers are very important to guard every city, and it is inconvenient for Wang Qian, a soldier in Pinyang, to use it rashly, but if you are really willing to support Wang Qian, can you give Wang Jian three things" Brunei's eyes were surprised, the enemy is current, what is more important than the support of soldiers, this moment, inevitably aroused Brunei's curiosity.

"Oh? At the moment of the great enemy, there is something more real than a soldier, you say, I am quite curious."

"Customs clearance documents, good war horses and exquisite weapon sets, plus some food on the road" Wang Jian's words are real, and they are also the most basic needs.

Brunei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Wang Qian, don't laugh, even if you don't want these things, Brunei will definitely arrange them for you, don't say it's equipment for five people, even if it's equipment for a thousand people, even if I don't have it here, I'll prepare it for you, do you have any other needs?" ”

"Wen Chang, take me to tell Captain Wu Bai, saying that Wang Jian left the army without authorization, went to Shangjun, and returned victorious, and there is really nothing else," Wang Jian said.

Brunei looked at Wang Jian fixedly, then patted him on the shoulder with his palm, and said: "Brother, you saved Brunei from danger at the most critical moment, and now your three requirements, Brunei will not support you less, in addition, you have to remember that Brunei always owes you a favor, you have to come back alive, do you hear?"

Wang Jian and the other five replied together: "Yes, Captain Ten!" ”

"If you have any needs, feel free to tell Brunei in Pinyang, this is your home"

"Yes"

Thousands of miles of long riding, scouting quick report, and at this time in the mansion of the great Sima Wei Ran, Bai Qi was kneeling on the side for a long time, as Wei Ran woke up from a nap, seeing that love would be Bai Qi kneeling on one knee, Wei Ran hurriedly got up and helped Bai Qi, but Bai Qi politely declined and knelt on the ground.

"You get up first and then talk about it"

"Business is business, and Bai Qi must bow down and elaborate"

Wei Ran looked at it and understood that Bai Qi was a stubborn temper, so it was difficult to say anything: "Okay, then you can say it quickly, get up when you finish speaking, I don't want my good brother to kneel."

"Thank you, Da Sima"

"Hey, you stubborn donkey is white, and you don't tell this big Sima when you come, snub my brother, Wei Ran can't bear it, you... Hey" Wei Ran then glared at the housekeeper, and then the housekeeper immediately approached, and then Wei Ran roared loudly: "My good brother is white, and you don't report it, don't you want this upward head?" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly shouted injustice, and then Bai Qi said: "Da Sima, it is Bai Qi who insists on this, and the retainers can't help it."

"Why? Is something big wrong? ”

"Da Sima, Bai Qi has something to ask for, please Da Sima must agree to Bai Qi"

"Say"

"Bai Qi shouldn't have said it, but the national disaster is at the head, Bai Qi can only give up the courtesy, and vainly say that he wants to borrow troops from my big Sima" At the moment, a seemingly simple sentence was like a thunderbolt to Wei Ran, at present, Wei and Chu are coveting Great Qin in the southeast respectively, Hangu Pass is in crisis all the time, talking about the weak South Korea, it seems that he also wants to meddle in the affairs of Qin, and Bai Qi, this time suddenly want to borrow troops, it is not easy to do, the left side of the left to help the right, is it wise to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall? In fact, right now, in Wei Ran's eyes, it is not easy to mobilize any soldiers, for the macro national defense of the entire Qin State, Wei Ran can only tactfully refuse Bai Qi: "Brother, in fact, I know what you think, if you don't say it, I also know that you must have come to me to borrow troops because of the matter in the northern county, but right now, I can't withdraw the troops here for you to deploy, you also know that at present, Wei and Chu are always there, peeking at every move of this Qin State, plus, if you are not there, when the time comes, Chu and Wei will merge with each other, And Xianyang City is just after Hangu Pass, how do you say this is good, in fact, then again, Shangjun itself is in the area under the responsibility of General Meng Fu, and you are now transferring troops, so what should you do with Korea, Chu, and Wei? Bai Qi, my good brother, calm down first, don't be impulsive"

"Da Sima, since the accident in Shangjun, General Meng Fu has not appeared, and the prosperous world is strange, but we can't just because General Meng Fu did not appear, we will rashly ignore Shangjun, do we really want to see the fall of the northern city of my Qin State like this? And once Shangjun is lost, the enemy army will definitely go south along the way, only take me Diaoyin, compared to Shangjun, Diaoyin is much more difficult to defend" Bai Qi's words are reasonable, Wei Ran doesn't know it, but at the moment Wei Ran is inconvenient to pull away, so he repeatedly refused, and Bai Qi, who was enraged, then said: "Is Lord Wei Ran considering the invitation of Wei and wants to defect to Wei?" has been in this Xianyang City, waiting for Wei Guo's response, I'm sorry my lord, Bai Qi is a straight person, Bai Qi knows what he says, if that's the case, Bai Qi will look down on adults, adults have always been the idols of Bai Qi's heart, and at the same time, adults are also Bai Qi's benefactors, but compared to love, the interests of the country are more important! Adults think twice, white advice, don't go against the ear"

Wei Ran was momentarily surprised, and then pretended to be calm and said, "Bai Qi, you... What a fallacy, hey, you! How do you know, hey! Wei Ran danced with his hands, Bai Qi understood that this was the default meaning, but because the relationship between Bai Qi and Wei Ran was particularly good, Wei Ran was not afraid that Bai Qi would know about it, and then Bai Qi was a person with a very tight mouth, so Wei Ran would not worry too much, but there were some things that Wei Ran did not need to say so carefully to Bai Qi.

"It doesn't matter how Bai Qi knows, what matters is that my Great Qin Empire's Great Sima, Lord Wei Ran, is saved? Or don't you save the county? ”

Wei Ran asked Bai Qi rhetorically: "Are you forcing me, or are you threatening me?"

Bai Qi rolled his eyes, then got up and said: "Bai Qi doesn't dare, Bai Qi is asking the adults to send troops, Bai Qi is willing to take command in person, and he will not return."

Then Wei Ran compromised in half a sentence: "Okay, I don't have soldiers here, the general will shoot you alone to rescue Shangjun" Wei Ran said.

Then Bai Qi knelt down on one knee: "Thank you, Da Sima, the last general will definitely live up to his mission" and then got up and left.

At present, the 100,000 Shangjun are in a hurry, although the Qin army along the way can't stop the attack of the Zhao soldiers at all, but under the Shangjun city, it seems that there are still some ways to resist the Zhao army, but it can be regarded as delaying time.

"Tell Lord Ben how long Kamijun can hold out," Kamijun said as he guarded the mountain.

"Lord Hui, Shangjun can't support it for long, it is said that the enemy's supply troops have arrived, this is to fight a protracted war with us" After the adjutant spoke, Taishou muttered: "Now that my grain route has been cut off, my Shangjun is already a lonely city, why has General Mengqiu's reinforcements not yet arrived" Slowing down a few steps, Taishou looked at the sky, and cried: "God, you are going to destroy my Shangjun"

When he was young, the adjutant asked, "My lord, what happens next?" ”

"Hold on, Ben-sama believes that there will be a miracle"

At this time, on the other side, that is, the army of Zhao State, at this time the person who led the troops of Zhao State, it is Lian Po, no wonder the Qin army is like a bamboo, under the leadership of Lian Po, the guards of Qin State seem to be vulnerable, of course, this is also due to the Hufu cavalry advocated by King Wuling of Zhao, it is precisely because of this type of army that Zhao State in the long-distance battle, come and go freely, and attack the Qin State at will to defend the city.

At this moment, a burly man with a beard appeared, and a soldier came to report: "Report to the general, now we are ready for the next round of siege."

"Okay, now order all the soldiers to pay their troops and collect their troops" Lian Po's words were not understood by everyone, and then Lian Po looked at everyone and smiled.

"General, now Shangjun is already a lonely city, as long as we spend a little more strength to attack, Shangjun will definitely be able to take it, why Mingjin is now withdrawing troops" Deputy General Wei Yu said.

And Lian Po told the generals in the tent: "On the battlefield, the rapid changes are endless, like the sky of the dragon is unpredictable, you don't think, we have won a few battles, we will be able to easily defeat the Qin army, you know, at this time if we forcibly capture Shangjun, then once the Qin army reinforcements come, we will be swallowed in the belly of the enemy, at that time, our Hufu cavalry shooting strategy can not be used at will, Qin soldiers are good at infantry, crossbowmen, at that time, our cavalry is locked up in the city to fight, In addition, if the people of the Qin State in the city change again, wouldn't it be that the Zhao army will be destroyed if they are united with the outside world, and the whole army will be destroyed."

"So what to do?" The adjutant said.

"It's very simple, the Qin army should be united with the outside, only because there are reinforcements, there is hope, then we only need to hit the firepower, ambush the army that came to the rescue, at that time, one can annex the Qin army's sharpness, and the other is the Qin people in the city, and they will be disappointed, we can be fortunate to win the whole field, even in the belly of the enemy, in a short time, the Qin State can not gnaw our hard bone, and then write to my king to send a large army to support, at that time, everything is fine?" Lian Po is worthy of being Lian Po, a veteran of the battlefield, and his conspiracy and strategy are all available, and at the moment, it is a pity that in Zhao State, in addition to Lian Po and Zhao Hao, there is a lack of a capable Xiangguo, if there is a capable Xiangguo, maybe Zhao Guo will be more powerful now.

Looking outside the camp, Lian Po seemed to be a little unhappy in his heart, because Lian Po knew very well that there was a person who had not yet appeared, once he appeared, this battle was really hard to say, and Lian Po could not calm down for a long time: "If he really comes, this battle may not be so easy to fight, I will not be afraid of anything other people in the Qin State, just for you, I Lian Po is indeed a little jealous, but I also know that you will definitely lead the troops to come"
