Xianyang, Qin State.

After receiving the news from Shangjun, Qin Wangdang was suddenly in chaos, and the six gods had no owner.

After being stunned for a while, Xiang Shou, who was accompanying him on the side, asked: "The Shangjun ferry is lost, and the Qi and Zhao coalition forces cross the river, what should we do now?" ”

Xiang Shou, who was in a daze, heard King Qin's inquiry, thought for a while and said, "King, such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with the ministers." ”

King Qin was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, now I have to discuss with the ministers." ”

After summoning the ministers, Qin Wangdang asked: "Shangjun incident, how do you think the Qing should deal with it." ”

The ministers looked at each other for a while, and Gongsun He came out and said, "Great King, now that I have exhausted my strength in the Qin State Guanzhong, I can't send reinforcements to rescue Shangjun. Fortunately, the current situation is not bad, in the town of Fushi, there are still 30,000 Yu Qin army to defend, and there are still 100,000 Yu Qin army in the joint army of the chief and the Shangjun guard, and the county seat of Fushi is where the Shangjun government is located, the city is high and the pool is deep, although there are 300,000 troops on the opposite side, but it is still impossible to conquer in a short time. ”

"With this period of time, then we can send envoys to Qi and Zhao to persuade them to withdraw their troops."

Hearing this, Qin Wang Dang nodded and asked, "Who is willing to go to Zhao Country for an envoy?" ”

"The minister is willing to go to Zhao State" Gongsun He saluted, then looked up at King Qin and asked: "It's just that I dare to ask the king, what is the bottom line." ”

Qin Wangdang was silent for a moment, and said: "If the Zhao State is willing to withdraw its troops, then the outnumbered people will cut the five cities of Shangjun far away..."

As he spoke, Qin Wangdang suddenly remembered that although the State of Qi was not attacked by the State of Zhao last time, in order to win over the State of Zhao, he still cut ten cities to the State of Zhao in one go.

Now that Qin State is being attacked by Zhao State, if only five cities are cut, then it will only make Zhao State feel that Qin State is stingy, and will not agree to his request for peace.

Thinking about it, Qin Wangdang immediately changed his words and said: "Seven cities, the widow is willing to cut the seven cities to the Zhao State." ”

Gongsun He nodded when he heard this, bowed again and stepped back.

"So who wants to go and lobby King Qi?"

Feng Zhang came out when he heard this: "Great King, the minister is willing to lobby King Qi." ”

"Okay." Qin Wangdang nodded, and then asked again: "Before, the guest secretary Gan Mao sent back a message, saying that Wei had an ambiguous attitude, and now that such a thing has happened, the widow is worried that the Wei State will think that Hexi has an opportunity to attack Xia Yang again, and I don't know why the secretary of state will teach the widow." ”

Gongsun Zheng said: "Great King, Xia Yang has 100,000 elite soldiers, and Gan Mao is proficient in military affairs, it is difficult to defeat the Qi and Wei coalition forces, but it is not difficult to hold Xia Yang. ”

"Moreover, the minister thinks that now our Qin State is not without troops, at least, we still have three places where we can transfer troops to Shangjun to support."

When Qin Wang Dang heard this, his spirits perked up, and he immediately asked, "Where do you think you can transfer troops?" ”

Gongsun Zheng replied: "Great King, originally we gathered our elite troops at Hangu Pass, because we were worried that Hangu Pass would be besieged by various countries, but now the situation is obvious, the Chu and Han coalition forces are bluffing in Hangu Pass, intending to contain our Qin State." ”

"Therefore, the minister thought that he could transfer troops from Hangu Pass, and ordered the chief Wei Zhang to send troops to Shangjun to rescue."

Qin Wangdang thought for a while, nodded and said, "This matter is feasible." So where are the other two places where troops can be transferred? ”

Gongsun Zheng smiled and said: "King, the other two places are Shu and Nanzheng. ”

"In order to prevent the Zhao Rat in the Han of Chu from leading troops to attack, so as not to cut off the connection between Bashu and Guanzhong, Nan Zheng still stationed 30,000 Qin troops. However, after the start of the war, the state of Chu did not reinforce Hanzhong, and now Zhao Rat still has only 30,000 troops in his hands. ”

"Therefore, if you are guarding against Zhao Rat, the minister thinks that only 10,000 Qin troops, plus the local Ding Zhuang are recruited, it is enough to hold Nanzheng."

Qin Wangdang nodded again and said, "Yes, it is also feasible to transfer troops from Nanzheng." ”

Seeing that King Qin nodded again, Gongsun Zheng made persistent efforts and immediately spoke: "Great King, as for Shu, only from the fact that Sima Cuo found out that Shu Hou secretly contacted Chu three years ago, we executed Shu Hou, and then took Gongzi Hui as Shu Hou, and it has been three years now. ”

"Gongzihui has been in Shu for three years, Shu has been calm, and the officials are convinced that the people will be attached, so the minister thinks that he can transfer back to Keqing Sima Co from Bashu and transfer some troops back to Guanzhong..."

"Nonsense."

Before Gongsun Zheng's words were finished, he heard a loud shout from behind him, and he couldn't say the next words, so he could only hold them in his throat, and his face turned red in an instant.

Because he could hear whose voice it was.

This is the voice of Zhang Yi, the father.

Sure enough, as soon as Gongsun Zheng turned around, he saw Zhang Yi walking by his side, and he didn't see him.

Zhang Yi walked to the main hall and then saluted the King of Qin.

When King Qin saw Zhang Yi coming, as soon as he entered the main hall, he had not yet saluted him, so he reprimanded the minister who was giving advice to him.

Holding back his displeasure, he said to Zhang Yi expressionlessly: "Isn't my father recuperating at home?" If you are coming to the palace today, why don't you say to the widow first, so that the widow can send someone to greet you! ”

"Thank you, the king, for your kindness!" Zhang Yi saluted the King of Qin again with a grateful face, and then spoke: "The minister heard that the Shangjun Zhizhi Office was besieged by Qi and Zhao, and he was worried, so he specially entered the palace to meet the king. ”

Qin Wangdang nodded and said, "Father Xiang is worried about state affairs, he really has a heart. ”

Saying that, Qin Wangdang opened his mouth and said: "There are few people and ······."

Qin Wangdang told Zhang Yi what he had just discussed with the minister, and then asked, "I don't know what Father Xiang thinks." ”

Zhang Yi was silent for a moment and said: "My lord, the minister thinks that there is no big problem in it, whether it is from Hangu Pass or from Nanzheng. ”

"It's just that the troops are transferred from Shu, the minister thinks it's inappropriate, Shu is not long after it is attached, people's hearts are floating, and not long ago we killed the original Shu Hou, although Gongzi Hui has been in Shu for three years, but the minister is worried about the officials and people of Shu, and did not surrender to Gongzi Hui. If Sima mistakenly leaves Bashu, then Bashu and Bashu may break away from the rule of the king. ”

"Therefore, the minister thought that it would not work to transfer Sima to return to help. Shangjun is lost, then with the strength of my Qin State, it can be recovered soon, if Bashu is lost, then it is too difficult to recapture Bashu again. ”

Saying that, Zhang Yi bowed his hand to King Qin and said, "Please think twice, the king." ”

When Qin Wang Dang heard this, he fell into deep thought.

As long as the Qin State is not facing the siege of various countries, it is not very difficult for the Qin State to recover the Shangjun with the strength of the Zhao State alone.

However, the transfer of troops from Shu does not mean that Shu will be lost, and there are still many elite soldiers in Badi who can defend Chu. Without the pressure of the Chu State, leave Gongzihui with some elites in Guanzhong, and then recruit some strong men in Shu, even if the people of Shu are repeated, they can be easily suppressed.

It's just that Zhang Yi clearly objected, and Zhang Yi has always rejected Sima Cuo, if Sima Cuo is recalled now, causing these two to fight in the court, then with the current situation of the Qin State, it is probably not a good thing to have internal friction.

Thinking about it, Qin Wangdang nodded and said: "Father Xiang is reasonable, Bashu is far more important than Shangjun, so the widow decided not to transfer troops from Shu. ”
