King Qin's voice fell, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on Lu Buwei.

Lü Buwei bowed slightly to King Qin, and then said: "This time, that time." ”

"If Meng Tian's strategy had been adopted at the beginning, and someone had been sent to Hangu Pass for help in advance, so that Fan Yu had divided his troops to garrison the cities along the way, the morale of the soldiers of Hangu Pass would not have been disturbed."

"However, at this time, the Zhao army is already approaching Xianyang, and asking for help from Hangu Pass at this time will inevitably cause panic among the soldiers, and then the army's morale will be in turmoil, giving the coalition forces an opportunity to take advantage of."

Speaking of this, Lü Buwei paused for a while, first looked around at the hundred officials in the court, and then raised his voice and shouted: "The Qin army gathered at Hangu Pass is almost all the best in the country. ”

"If it is defeated, the vitality of the Qin State will inevitably be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to rise again."

"On the contrary, although Xianyang is the national capital, it is only a city after all, as long as the king is still there, what can Xianyang be conquered by the Zhao army?"

Lü Buwei's words were like thunder on the ground.

Everyone didn't expect that Lu Buwei, who had always had a gap with Fan Yuqi and others, not only did not fall into the well at this time, but instead showed the momentum of putting him to death and resurrecting him, and was ready to fight Zhao Jun to the end.

When King Qin heard this, his slightly immature face immediately showed a look of relief.

"Although Xiangguo has the right to fight with the ministers of the DPRK and China, after all, he still puts the righteousness of Qin State in the first place, and he is very relieved!"

Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng immediately got up and said loudly: "What Xiang Guo said is extreme, compared to the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops in the Hangu Pass defense line, Xianyang is nothing!" ”

"Spread the widow's edict: send people to Hangu Pass to appease the army, and recruit men from nearby counties to go to Xianyang, and those who do not change their titles must also obey the order!"

According to Qin law, if the title is not reached, you can be exempted from military service.

Of course, this kind of military service refers to the duty guard, that is, the kind of non-commissioned soldiers who take turns to serve in the military, and if they encounter war or emergency, they also need to obey the government's requisition.

In fact, those who attained the title of knight had private slaves in their families, and sometimes these private slaves could also go to war in place of their masters.

Therefore, those who have reached the title of not changing their titles, before the government did not strictly enforce the requisition, many people stayed at home, because these were all meritorious people, and if they were not forced to do so, the Qin government would not persecute them too much.

It's just that now, the whole country of Qin is at war, and the so-called military service exemption is impossible to talk about.

Jingyang, located more than 100 miles northwest of Yiyang, is located on the north bank of Jingshui, which is the northern gateway of Xianyang.

Long before the Zhao army came to Yiyang, there were already 3,000 Qin troops stationed in Jingyang to prevent the Zhao army from crossing the river from this place.

Jingyang, Dayi, also has a population of more than 10,000.

Even though many of the county's elites have gone to the front, there are still more than 8,000 people here, including the elderly, children, women, and disabled veterans.

Compared with before the Shang Dynasty reform, the life of the disabled and retired soldiers of the Qin State has been much more nourishing, although many people have broken arms and lame legs, but at least they no longer worry about their livelihoods.

In the eastern suburbs of Jingyang, this is the fief of a disabled middle doctor.

The doctor here is not a doctor in the traditional sense.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, there have been three levels of kings, doctors, and scholars, and each rank is divided into upper, middle, and lower levels.

The middle doctor here is the fifth level of the Qin State military merit knight, the official doctor is the sixth level, the public doctor is the seventh level, and the fifth doctor is the ninth level.

Although the middle doctor can't raise a soldier, he also has a considerable social status in the Qin State, and there is no shortage of homes, fields, and servants.

Unfortunately, this person was once seriously injured on the battlefield, not only lame in one leg, but also blind in one eye, and now he can only be a rich man.

"Doctor Hong, the Zhao thief committed me Xianyang, the king issued an edict to recruit soldiers, and a certain is ready to take the slaves of the family to the war!"

"This time I came to say goodbye to Dr. Hongda, if a certain person dies on the battlefield, I hope that Dr. Hong can take care of the past and take care of a certain family!"

As the ugly music of the old subordinate of the middle doctor Hongji, he has now become a non-changer, with a house, a field, a mother-in-law, a child, and a slave.

Accustomed to the days of licking blood from the knife edge, Choule also wanted to enjoy the second half of his life, and did not want to lose his life on the battlefield in vain, so he did not go to the front line, but let the slaves replace him, and donated some money and food.

Choule originally thought that with the strength of the Qin State, the so-called coalition army was just a crumbling dog, and it was not vulnerable at all.

Unexpectedly, the front-line Qin army and the coalition army were at a disadvantage, not to mention that even Xianyang, the capital of Qin, was threatened by Zhao Guo's soldiers and was in danger.

can be awarded the title of no change with military exploits, and the fierceness of ugly music is self-evident.

Faced with the conscription of the Yiyang County Order, Choule only hesitated slightly, and chose to enlist in the army to fight against the Zhao army.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that Ugly Le can't escape military service, but it's not just that.

Although Choule wants to enjoy his old age in peace, he also knows the truth that there are no eggs under the nest, even if there is no such word in this era, the truth is also the same.

Accustomed to a good life, Choule didn't want everything he had gained by fighting the battlefield to be destroyed by the Zhao people in the end.

On the contrary, Hongji, a disabled middle doctor, was exempt from military service.

This is not because of the opponent's high title, but because Hongji is physically disabled and unsuitable for the battlefield, coupled with his previous repeated military exploits, he was exempted from military service.

Even at such a critical juncture, the government would not forcibly recruit people like Hongji to the battlefield.

"Did the Zhao people hit the vicinity of Xianyang?"

Hongji muttered to himself, and then sneered: "In the past, I followed Wu Anjun to break the Zhao people in Changping and beheaded the fifth level, and I never destroyed the Zhao State back then, but I didn't expect them to dare to offend me Xianyang,"

"Although I am lame and blind, I can also wear armor and fight the Zhao people again, this time you don't need to be alone with me, go to the battlefield with you, and kill the enemy in blood!"

Hiroki's body, which was slightly tilted due to his lameness, also became straight at this time.

Choule hurriedly persuaded: "Doctor Hongda's great military exploits for the Qin State have even led to physical disability, there is no need for military service anymore, why not stay at home and wait for the war to end!" ”

Hongji was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "When you were a long time, you were just a new pawn, and now when you see me lame and blind, you think that you can't fight anymore!" ”

Ugly Le was frightened, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"Now that the Zhao soldiers are in Xianyang, there is the enmity of Changping back then, the Zhao people have long formed a deep hatred with my Qin people, if you don't kill this Zhao army, don't say that Xianyang may fall into a crisis, and you and my family will be in danger!"

"Ah Fu, take my armor and weapons, a certain general will go to war with the king's order, and let the Zhao people know that my Qin people cannot be humiliated!"

When the scandal heard this, he felt the blood in his heart surge, and he drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "The Qin people must not be humiliated, and a certain wish will be followed by the old and the elders to go to war together, not to break the Zhao thief, and to vow not to truce the war!" ”

The same thing is happening everywhere in Guanzhong.

The people who can be sealed in Guanzhong, regardless of the rank and file, are all real old Qin people, and they are extremely rich in combat experience.

Even if some of them are crippled, some are old.

However, when they drew their swords again for the Qin State and for their homeland, no one could ignore these former tiger and wolf armies.
