Chapter 764: The Battle on the Southern Front (Addendum 9)
A few days later, at the regular court meeting of the Qin State, Cai Ze suddenly put forward an opinion.
"King, the war in the country of Yiqu is very difficult now, judging from the current situation, the minister feels that with the two generals Wang Ji and Wang Ling, I am afraid that there is no way to level the canal."
As soon as Cai Ze's words came out, the hearts of many Qin ministers jumped slightly, knowing that there was another good show happening.
The entire Qin court knew that the attack on Yiqu was because of the strong request of Xiangbang Lü Buwei, and now Cai Ze suddenly used this issue to make trouble, so he didn't have to think about it to know that it must be aimed at Lü Buwei.
Sure enough, Lu Buwei's face changed when he heard this, and after glaring at Cai Ze, he said to Cai Ze: "What does Gang Chengjun mean by this?" Today, half of the territory of the Yiqu Kingdom has been recovered by the army, and even their capital has long been conquered by the Great Qin soldiers. ”
Cai Ze laughed and said to Lu Buwei: "Wu Chengjun's words are wrong, but I heard that the Yiqu people took the initiative to give up the capital, so that Wang Yi and Wang Ling, the two generals, occupied the capital of the Yiqu people without much effort. And it is said that recently, the two generals Wang Ji and Wang Ling had nothing to do about the guerrilla attacks of the Yiqu people, and they lost their troops again and again, and now even the cavalry did not dare to easily step out of the city of the Yiqu people, for fear of being ambushed by the Yiqu people. ”
In addition, the grain and grass transportation troops of the two generals have been attacked by the Yiqu people one after another, so that the two generals have to send a large number of troops to protect the grain and grass routes. In this case, how much energy can the two generals have to continue to fight the Yiqu people on the plateau? ”
As soon as Qin Wang Chu heard this, his face immediately changed, and he asked Lu Buwei, "Wu Chengjun, is this true?" ”
Lu Buwei hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Back to the king, although there are indeed some temporary difficulties on the battlefield of Yiqu, the minister can assure the king that these difficulties can be overcome. In less than a year at most, the two generals, Wang Ji and Wang Ling, will definitely destroy the Yiqu Kingdom and give the king a satisfactory answer. ”
As soon as Qin Wang Chu heard Lü Buwei's words, his face immediately showed an unhappy expression, and he said to Lü Buwei: "Wu Chengjun, this Yiqu country has a population of only 100,000, and the people who can fight are only 20,000 or 30,000 people. ”
Qin Wang Chu's words carried an obvious sense of reproach, which made Lu Buwei a little speechless for a while.
Just when Lu Buwei was thinking about what to say to reduce his responsibility, Cai Ze suddenly said: "King, in the opinion of the ministers, this Yiqu rebellion is mainly on the people of the Yiqu people, if the people of the Yiqu people are not willing to follow the Yiqu nobles to make trouble, then the Pingqu Rebellion is naturally a matter of course. Therefore, the minister asked the king to send a powerful minister to Yiqu to appease the people. As long as the people of Yiqu can be successfully appeased, then the nobles of Yiqu and the so-called king of Yiqu are rootless, and the rebellion of Yiqu can be quelled. ”
The reason why it is said that it is the Yiqu Rebellion is actually that it does not recognize Yiqu Sheng as an independent country, but believes that Yiqu is still a part of the Qin State.
After Qin Wang Chu heard Cai Ze's words, his heart immediately became happy again, and he asked Cai Ze: "Since this is the case, then which minister does Gang Chengjun think the widow should send to Yiqu?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Cai Ze's eyes looked at Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei's heart jumped and secretly screamed that it was not good, and when he was about to speak, Cai Ze took the first step to speak: "Great King, the minister thinks that Wu Chengjun Lu Buwei is full of martial arts and martial arts, and he is extremely prestigious among Great Qin, so he is the best candidate for Ping Zhiqu." ”
……
Three days later, Lü Buwei, who was very depressed, left Xianyang with 50,000 soldiers and horses and headed towards the capital of Yiqu State.
The news of Lü Buwei's departure from Xianyang was transmitted back to Handan City by Hu Yiwei as quickly as possible.
After Zhao Dan heard the news, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Why was Lü Buwei transferred out of Xianyang at such a juncture? Could it be that the people of the Qin State are going to have some plans against the widowed Zhao State? ”
But obviously, although Zhao Dan is a traverser, traversing does not mean omniscient and omnipotent, so he doesn't know that there is a conspiracy in Xianyang City that is quietly attacking him and the powerful Zhao State.
On the other side, the news from the battlefield of Wei suddenly attracted Zhao Dan's attraction.
On the battlefield of the southern front of Wei, Tian Chong, the general of Wei, actually led tens of thousands of Wei troops in his hands and defeated the people of Chu again.
"The people of Chu actually lost?" After hearing this, Zhao Dan's eyes couldn't help but widen, and a very surprised expression appeared on his face.
In Zhao Dan's opinion, the current Wei State is almost a dying prey, and being able to be defeated by such a dying prey is too weak, right?
Soon, Zhao Dan got a further report on the battle situation.
It's actually very simple, that's four words - surprise wins.
After fighting with the Chu army for many days, Tian Chong found that the morale of the soldiers under his command was slowly declining as the Zhao State in the north was approaching, and it seemed that it could not be sustained for long.
So Tian Chong was helpless, and finally came up with a plan very risky, that is, to send an envoy to the camp of Chu State and declare that he was ready to surrender to the people of Chu.
For this, the two main generals of the Chu army, Huang Xie and Jingyang, were naturally very happy to see it, so after some careful negotiations between the two sides, the Chu people, who had completely let down their guard, swaggered to send troops to receive the manpower and camp of the Wei army.
But it was at this time that the prepared Wei army, under the leadership of Tian Chong, suddenly launched a full-line attack on the Chu people, and the Chu people, who had no psychological preparation at all, even though they had an advantage in numbers and combat effectiveness, were still directly defeated by the Wei army after a bloody battle.
Huang Xie and Jingyang fled for hundreds of miles with the remnants of the defeated army, and only then did they gain a firm foothold again.
"Idiots, just a bunch of idiots!" After listening to these reports, Zhao Dan was also a little speechless, he didn't expect the people of Chu to come to this point, and even Tian Chong, who was already on the verge of despair, had never beaten him.
Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then instructed the ministers of Zhao State in front of him: "Since this is the case, then send an order to Le Cheng, let him speed up the attack on Suiyang City, strive to capture Suiyang City as soon as possible, and then continue to go south to completely solve Tian Chong and Wei State!" ”
Since the State of Chu is so useless, then it is a matter of destroying the State of Wei!
