When the general and deputy general of the Zhao army outside the city felt a little helpless because of the huge siege losses, the atmosphere in the palace of Chen Cheng was extremely solemn.

Chu Wangyuan sat on the throne with a gloomy face, and in front of Chu Wangyuan, the two bigwigs of Chu State, Ling Yin Huangxie and Shangzhu Guo Jingyang, sat with their heads down, not daring to raise their heads at all.

In this hall, the two giants of the Chu State had just experienced the incomparable anger from the Chu Wangyuan.

"Why, if you can't fight in the field, can't you even defend the city? Instead, let's talk about it, what is the use of a widow asking you to be such a courtier!! ”

When Chu Wangyuan spoke, his eyes were almost bursting with fire.

If he could, Chu Wangyuan really wanted to directly tear up the two bastards in front of him.

If it weren't for Huang Xie's strong assertion, then the state of Chu would not have secretly concluded an alliance with the state of Qin, nor would it have turned against the state of Zhao, let alone the war in front of him.

If it weren't for Jingyang's belief that the Zhao army was too strong to fight in the wild, then Chu Wangyuan would not have been surrounded by Lian Po in this city now, with no way to enter the heavens and no doors.

Blame these two stupid things!

These thoughts had actually existed in Chu Wangyuan's mind for a long time, but they had been suppressed and not come out until today, after hearing the report that Chen Cheng might be lost, Chu Wangyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore.

You must know that the princes of Chu are still in Handan, if the prince of Chu also falls into the hands of the people of Zhao after Chen Cheng is breached, it will really be a reunion of father and son as prisoners, and it will definitely be an out-and-out laughing stock for the ages.

Chu Wang Yuan looked at the two important ministers of the Chu State in front of him who lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, and shouted: "What's the matter, one by one, when he usually fights for power and profit, his voice is louder than anyone else, and now he is dumb?" But thou shalt tell the widow what to do now! ”

Chu Wangyuan's loud shout frightened Huang Xie, who had been lowering his head and acting as an ostrich, and hurriedly said: "Great King, in the opinion of the ministers, now the only way to ask King Qin to send troops to rescue him as soon as possible is to do so." ”

Chu Wang Yuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he snorted heavily: "Then King Qin should have sent troops early tomorrow, but now there is no movement at all!" It's a bastard, a bastard! ”

Even the swear words couldn't help but scold, obviously Chu Wangyuan was really anxious.

Chu Wangyuan had to be anxious.

You must know that in Chu Wangyuan's original expectation, it should be Qin and Chu who took the lead, then Wei and Qi followed, and finally Han and Yan followed up together, and everyone happily came to attack Zhao with six countries.

As a result, Chu Wang Yuan found out that things seemed to have gone awry.

Not to mention that the two countries of Wei and Qi, who were supposed to be on the side of the Chu State, turned into accomplices of the Zhao State, and even the Qin people who originally swore that they would definitely advance and retreat with the Chu State were completely gone.

The good "Six Kingdoms Group Beat Zhao State" became "Zhao State took three younger brothers to beat Chu State", this script is not right at all!

The more Chu Wang Yuan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slapped the table fiercely and let out a thunderous rage, and then glared at the two silent ministers in front of him: "Huang Xie, you immediately find a way to inform the king of Qin for the widow, if the widow can't hear the news of the king of Qin's army within five days, then this alliance between Qin and Chu will be stopped, and from now on, the widow and the Qin state will be rested until death!! ”

After saying this, Chu Wangyuan lifted the table and left the hall without looking back.

On the same day that Chu Wang Yuan was furious, the soldiers of the Qin army in the barracks outside Xianyang City, thousands of miles away, gathered, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was endless, and the entire 200,000 Qin soldiers were ready to go here.

"The king is here, get out of the way, don't stand in the way of the king!"

In the midst of the shouts of the palace guards, Qin Wangzhu's carriage slowly drove to the front of the handsome tent.

Bai Qi, who got the news, had already led many high-ranking generals of the Qin army to wait here, and saluted to the Qin Wangzhu: "I've seen the king!" ”

Qin Wangzhu got out of the carriage and came to Bai Qi's face, and said with a smile: "Wu Anjun, how are you ready?" ”

Perhaps because of his age, Bai Qi, who already had a white beard and hair and even a slight back that began to be a little rickety, did not wear armor like other generals, but wore a dark tunic with a purple crown on his head, and a tie passed through his neck, which did not look like he was going to war, but as if he was going to the court.

After hearing Qin Wangzhu's inquiry, Bai Qi said: "Back to the king, after the morning meal, the whole army will set off immediately." ”

After listening to Bai Qi's words, Qin Wangzhu was obviously a little uneasy, waved back left and right, and entered the big tent with Bai Qi, preparing to have a private chat between the monarch and the minister.

"Wu Anjun, you tell the truth to the widow, can you really succeed this time?"

As soon as Qin Wangzhu's words fell, he suddenly coughed violently, and the whole person coughed so much that he even bent his waist.

Bai Qi was taken aback, and when he was about to call others, he saw Qin Wangzhu waving his hand desperately.

After a while, Qin Wangzhu's cough slowly calmed down, and the whole person returned to normal.

"King, are you alright?"

Qin Wangzhu shook his head, obviously not intending to dwell on the topic of physical health: "Wu Anjun, you haven't answered the widow's question yet. ”

Bai Qi looked at Qin Wangzhu for a while before he said: "The king, please take care of your body, if you lose this battle, the minister is willing to take all the responsibility." ”

Of course, there is a reason why Bai Qi spoke like this.

Although in the previous meeting, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State did decide to rescue the Chu State, but there were also many controversies among the Qin people about how to rescue the Chu State.

If you want to save the Chu State, the first and most direct way is for the Qin army to send troops to Chencheng and have a hard-fought battle with the Zhao army that surrounded Chencheng.

But there is also a problem with this method, that is, if it is really to be done, not to mention that there will be obstacles from the South Korean army on the way, even if it finally succeeds in reaching Chencheng, Zhao Guo may have gathered all his allies by this time.

So what must be followed is a super-war.

In this way, the Qin-Chu coalition army is still at a disadvantage, and the odds of victory are not great. Even if it can win, it will be a miserable victory, and it will not be profitable at all for the Qin State.

So there is a second way, that is, "encircling Zhao to save Chu".

To be more precise, it is to "encircle the east of the river to save Chen Cheng".

Hedong County is simply close to the Guanzhong of the Qin State, but it is separated from the Shangdang County of Handan by a rugged mountain road from the Zhao State.

As long as the Qin army launched an attack on Hedong County, Zhao would definitely have to make some responses.

As long as Zhao State draws troops from the front line, then the pressure on Chu's side will naturally be reduced, so that he can continue to drag Zhao State for Qin.

Once Zhao was held back by Chu, Qin had the hope of retaking Hedong and the Cuihan Pass from Zhao.

In that case, Qin's war goal will be perfectly achieved, and then depending on the situation, you can either continue to fight, or directly ask Zhao for peace, in short, take the initiative.

As for the state of Chu...... As long as Hedong County can be recaptured, what does it have to do with the Qin State if the Chu State dies or not?

Many Qin ministers, including Bai Qi and Cai Ze, were loyal supporters of this plan.

After several days of bickering, Qin Wangzhu finally agreed to this plan, and handed over the power to command the entire war to Bai Qi without reservation.

Qin Wangzhu grabbed Bai Qi's shoulders tightly, his eyes were eager, and his words were sincere: "Wu Anjun, the widow doesn't need anyone to take responsibility, the widow just wants victory, victory!" ”

Bai Qi took a step back, just in time for Qin Wangzhu's palm to leave his shoulder, and then bent down to Qin Wangzhu very calmly.

"The minister promises that the king will see victory."
