Zhao Dan was not in a hurry, but Qin Wangji was in a hurry.

Just a few days after Zhao Dan in Handan City learned the news, Qin Wangji in Xianyang City also got the news of the war in the north of Zhao State.

At this moment, Fan Sui was standing in front of Qin Wangji, reciting the news that Qin Wangji's meticulous works had just come back from Zhao State.

"Zhao Guobei Army Zhonglang led 50,000 troops to break the Xiongnu tens of thousands of cavalry outside Pingyin City, it is rumored that more than 10,000 were beheaded, and the Xiongnu Huli Shan Yu led the crowd to escape from the fortress, and there was no suspense in this battle."

"Bang!" Qin Wangji's hand slammed on the table, causing the utensils on the table to jump.

"Hughley, incompetent, incompetent to the extreme!"

Qin Wangji's roar resounded throughout the hall, the white hair on his temples trembled slightly with the roar, and the expression on his old face looked extremely hideous.

Seeing this, all the important ministers of the Qin State present were terrified in their hearts, and they immediately lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe, lest Qin Wangji's anger spread to their bodies.

Qin Wangji did have a reason to be angry.

You must know that in Qin Wangji's opinion, this time the Xiongnu going south should be able to attract the attention of Zhao for at least a month or two, and it is even possible that Zhao will be plunged into war throughout the winter.

If this is really the case, then Qin Wangji will have enough time to clean up the Chu State and let the war against Chu end quickly before the Zhao State even has time to react.

But the Huns were so vulnerable, but it was far beyond Qin Wangji's expectations.

Think about how powerful the nomads in the north of the Zhou Dynasty were, and the leader of them, Dog Rong, was even able to break through the Zhou Dynasty's Hojing, which directly led to the transformation from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and opened the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

is also a nomad, tell me why you, the Huns, are so weak, and why were you defeated by the Zhao people in the first battle?

Dog Rong was hundreds of years or even thousands of years ago, and after so many years, why didn't you Huns grow up? ?

At this moment, Qin Wangji's resentment against the Xiongnu in his heart was like a big river, endless.

After half a day, Qin Wangji broke free from his resentment against the Huns, barely calmed down, and said to several Qin ministers in front of him: "What should I do now?" ”

These ministers of the Qin State, you look at me, I look at you, and in the end, everyone's eyes were invariably focused on Fan Sui and the crown prince Zhao Zhu.

Except for Fan Sui, everyone present has been in the political arena of Qin for at least ten years, and they can be said to have a thorough understanding of Qin Wangji's psychology.

Such a king, when he is in a good mood, he can take the opportunity to express his opinion, even if the opinion is not very reliable and not very in line with Qin Wangji's wishes, Qin Wangji will not be angry, at most he will not say a few words without saltiness, and if his opinion is reliable, he can also get a rich reward.

But if you have to force your head out in the case of Qin Wangji's anger, it's good that the idea is reliable, but if it's a little unreliable, then maybe your head will fall to the ground.

What made the ministers of the Qin State feel very painful was that since the defeat in the Battle of Changping, Qin Wangji's good mood days were simply insignificant compared to the bad mood days.

If it is said that one fire will reduce the life span of three days, then the number of fires fired by Qin Wangji since the Battle of Changping is estimated to be enough to reduce the life span of one year.

In such a situation, as long as Qin Wangji gets angry, unless someone from Xiangbang Fan Sui or Prince Zhao Zhu jumps out to go to the thunder first, the other ministers of Qin will definitely not speak.

Of course, Fan Sui and Zhao Zhu also knew this clearly, after all, this was not the first time.

So as early as when Qin Wangji was still immersed in anger and couldn't extricate himself, Fan Sui and Zhao Zhu secretly exchanged glances with each other.

Fan Sui didn't say anything here, but Zhao Zhu shook his head gently.

So after Qin Wangji asked, Fan Sui stood up and said to Qin Wangji: "Don't panic, the king, in the opinion of the ministers, it is not yet the time when the situation is urgent." ”

Qin Wangji's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he almost opened his mouth to spray people.

Not in a hurry?

Is this the situation in a hurry?

The people of Zhao may send troops south anytime and anywhere, but you told the widow at this time that you are not in a hurry?

It's not in a hurry, what is urgency, wait until the people of Zhao go south to cooperate with Chu to surround Wang Di's troops, will you be in a hurry at that time?

But Qin Wangji finally held back.

Since the defeat in the Battle of Changping, Qin Wangji has not trusted Fan Sui as much as before.

If it weren't for the fact that no one else could be found to replace Fan Sui for a while, it was very likely that Qin Wangji's character would have removed Fan Sui.

But it is precisely because of Fan Sui's current irreplaceability that Qin Wangji still has to use Fan Sui.

Since you want to use Fan Sui, it is natural to listen to Fan Sui's opinion.

Qin Wangji said, "What is Fan Jun's opinion? ”

Fan Sui said respectfully: "In the opinion of the ministers, before the great changes in the battle of Chu, then Zhao Wang Dan should not go south to aid Chu. ”

"Oh?" Qin Wangji raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is this?" ”

Fan Sui smiled: "Did the king ever remember the Qi army's 'encirclement of Wei to save Zhao'?" ”

Qin Wangji nodded and said, "Of course the widow remembers. ”

Fan Sui said: "King, if the minister's expectations are good, then Zhao Wangdan's current plan must be to 'encircle Qin and save Chu'!" ”

"Surround Qin to save Chu?" As soon as he heard Fan Sui's words, not only Qin Wangji, but even the other ministers of the Qin State in the main hall also showed thoughtful expressions.

Fan Sui has said this, if the people present can no longer think of the relationship between Wei Qin to save Chu and Wei to save Zhao, this IQ is estimated to be goodbye to the political arena of Qin.

Qin Wangji pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "What Fan Jun meant, could it be that Zhao Wangdan wants to make both the widow and the Chu State defeated, and then send troops to attack?" ”

"That's right." Fan Sui nodded and said, "Judging from the Battle of Changping, then Zhao Dan is scheming, it must be so." ”

When the words of the Battle of Changping were mentioned, Qin Wangji's eyebrows flashed with a sinister aura.

For Qin Wangji, the pain caused by the Battle of Changping was absolutely painful.

Qin Wangji asked, "If this is the case, in Fan Jun's opinion, then where should Zhao State attack?" ”

Since it was to encircle Qin and save Chu, then the Zhao army must have come to attack Qin instead of rescuing Chu, there is no doubt about this.

Fan Sui seemed to be obviously prepared for this question, and replied almost without thinking: "The goal of Zhao Guo must be Hedong County!" ”

"Hedong County?" As soon as Qin Wangji heard this, his eyebrows and facial muscles trembled even more.

Hedong County is densely populated, has high grain production, and has excellent soldiers, which perfectly meets the requirements of Qin's national policy of "ploughing and warfare".

It is no exaggeration to say that the importance of Hedong County is second only to the Guanzhong of Qin State in the heart of Qin Wangji, and is tied with the Bashu Basin.

In addition, Hedong County also has a very special meaning for Qin Wangji.

That was the first piece of territory that Qin Wangji seized from the six eastern countries after he took charge of the Qin State!

If the loss of Shangdang County and the southeast county is an accident, then Qin Wangji will definitely not allow Hedong County to repeat the mistakes of the southeast county!

Qin Wangji snorted heavily, and said with a sinister face: "Hedong County, you must not fall into the hands of that Zhao Dan child!" Fan Jun, let's talk about your countermeasures. ”
