It is said that it took Qin Wangji three years and tens of thousands of soldiers killed before forcing King Han to cut off from the party. However, Shangdang County guarded Feng Ting, violated the order of King Han, and did not hesitate to bear the infamy on his back, and privately dedicated Shangdang to Zhao State.

Zhao Wangdan led 50,000 soldiers with Pingyuan Jun and accepted the party.

Zhao Guo's intervention caught Qin Wangji off guard, and also let the fruits of Qin's victory be ruthlessly taken away by Zhao Guo. The battle between Qin and Korea turned into a war between Qin and Zhao.

Qin Wangji saw the fat in his mouth, but he was eaten by Zhao Wangdan in one bite, how could he bear it. Qin Wangji took Wang Ji as his general, took down Shangdang by force, and expelled the Zhao army. Qin Wangji also had to inform the princes of the world that only the Qin State bullied the princes, and no princes dared to bully the Qin State.

Wang Ji did not live up to the expectations of the King of Qin, and quickly won the Shangdang City. Pingyuan Jun was defeated, took the Shangdang army and civilians, and fled to Changping of Zhao State.

Qin Wangji was about to occupy Shangdang, but learned that Zhao Wangdan, with the old general Lian Po, was a general and led an army of 200,000 to aid Changping. Seeing that Zhao Wang Dan dared to start a war with him, Qin Wangji ordered Wang Ji to attack Zhao and teach Zhao a lesson.

In the first battle, Wang Yu killed Zhao Guopi's general, and then took Gaoping Fortress and occupied Laomaling. One good news after another was sent to Qin Wangji's case.

Qin Wangji was overjoyed when he saw that Wang Ji had won a beautiful battle on the front line, and commended: "Wang Ji did not live up to the expectations of the widows, and he was able to force Lian Po to retreat one after another. ”

Qin Wangji saw that Zhao General Lian Po was nothing more than that, and threatened: "In less than three months, Wang Ji will be able to occupy the entire territory of Shangdang and take Changping of Zhao State." Great Qin's military might will make the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State tremble. ”

However, Qin Wangji waited left and right, but did not wait for the good news sent back from the front. What I waited for was that the division of Great Qin was blocked by the second city of Zhao State. Qin Wangji saw that the small Eryan City was able to block hundreds of thousands of Qin Shi for two months.

Qin Wangji was not in a hurry, and ordered someone to send an edict to Wang Ji, asking him to quickly take Eryan City, fight a decisive battle with Zhao, and capture Changping.

Wang Gong stepped up his offensive, regardless of casualties, and captured Eryan City. However, in front of Wang Ji is a new city... Light Wolf City.

It took two months for Wang Yi to capture Eryan City, but he was blocked by the Light Wolf City. When Qin Wangji learned of the battle report sent back from the front, he saw that Zhao General Lian was not attacking and was defending, and mocked: "The widow still thinks that Lian Po is a big deal, but that's it." ”

Qin Wangji took Meng Fu as his general and led 50,000 new troops to help Wang Ji capture the Light Wolf City.

Wang Yi took the Light Wolf City, but was blocked by Lian Po's defense line on the west side of the Dan River. Wang Yi took the west side of the Dan River, but was blocked by the Dan River, and also lost Wang Ye and other generals.

Wang Ji occupied the west side of the Dan River, and the Qin army could no longer move forward. Qin and Zhao were at a stalemate, and Wang Yi repaired a letter and sent it back to Xianyang.

The courtiers of the Qin State saw that Wang Yu had fought for several months, and although they achieved results, they also killed tens of thousands of soldiers. Seeing that they could not cross the Dan River and break through the Zhao army, the courtiers spoke one after another, asking Qin Wangji to withdraw his troops.

Qin Wangji saw that Wang Ji fought against Lian Po, although he was not defeated, but the battle was quite difficult, and he saw the book of the courtiers' strike, and piled up into a small hill. At the beginning, Qin Wangji could still turn a blind eye, hear but not hear, and use the power of the king to deter the courtiers.

With it, the two countries of Qin and Zhao reached a stalemate in the Dan River. Qin Wangji's mood also changed slightly, thinking: "Zhao has a good reputation, when can the widow break through the Zhao State, point to the Three Jins, compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, and become a king." ”

Qin Wangji held the latest battle situation sent back by Wang Ji in his hand, and asked: "Lian Po is worthy of being a veteran of Zhao Guoneng's good fighting, he has been defeated several times, the army's heart is not chaotic, and he also relied on the danger of the Dan River to block the offensive of our army. Now, we are at a stalemate with Zhao at the Dan River. Zhao and our country are preparing to fight a war of attrition, what do you think. ”

As soon as Qin Wangji's words fell, the sound of the war sounded in the hall one after another.

"We are fighting a protracted war of attrition with Zhao Guo, and if we win, we will lose both. The minister suggested that the war should be stopped and the army should be suspended. ”

"We are on an expedition, and Zhao Guo is waiting for work. We should not fight with Zhao Guo again. ”

"We fought with South Korea for three years and Zhao for a few months. If we continue to fight, we will only lose our livelihood. Please put the overall situation first and withdraw the army. ”

"If we start a war with Zhao State, we must fight quickly. Zhao Jianglian is quite defended without fighting, just trying to drag us down. ”

"Lian Po saw the shortcomings of our country, and wanted to use it to consume the morale of our army. Your Majesty, while we are fighting against Zhao State, we can still overwhelm Zhao State in momentum. We might as well make peace with Zhao Guo. ”

When Qin Wangji saw that most of his courtiers were opposed to war. But seeing that Fan Ju didn't say a word, he stayed out of the matter and asked, "Fan Ju, what do you think?" ”

Fan Ju said one word loudly, "Fight." ”

One person said coldly: "Qin Xiang, the battlefield is not child's play. Qin Xiang chose to fight, could it be that there were not enough soldiers killed in our country? ”

Fan Ju didn't care about the casualties of the front-line battle, and said indifferently: "In battle, there are always dead people." They fought and died for the king's ambition and hegemony for the Qin State. They died a well-deserved and glorious death. ”

Another person said angrily: "Qin Xiang chooses to fight, why don't you go to the battlefield." In a high position, who wouldn't. ”

"The civil ministers are the main peace, and the military generals are the main battle, which is a sign of the prosperity of the country." Fan Ju looked at the ministers who spoke peacefully, and said softly: "The ministers offer their plans, and the generals contribute, and each performs its own duties." I am a civil servant, conquering the battlefield, killing the enemy and killing the generals, this is what you generals should do. ”

The previous man said angrily: "Prime Minister Qin's words made countless Qin men die in battle." Wang Di fought against Lian Po, although he achieved certain results, but he was also blocked by Zhao Guo in the Dan River and could not take a step forward. What is the point of this battle, if it continues. ”

Another said: "We are fighting against Lianpo, and it is difficult to win." ”

Fan Ju shouted: "Lian Po has nothing to be afraid of. ”

Seeing that Fan Ju was not ashamed, the man said coldly: "Lian Po, that was a famous general who broke Qi alone thirty years ago. Qin Xiang actually underestimated this person. ”

One person sneered: "Qin Xiang looks down on Lian Po, so it's better to fight in person." Qin Xiang took his enthusiasm to fight against Lian Po. ”

Fan Ju saw that after the courtiers finished speaking, he said in a low tone: "Although Lian Po is a famous general of Zhao State, he is also an old man. Famous generals like Zhao Guo have not lost to Wang Di. In my opinion, Lian Po is nothing remarkable. Ladies and gentlemen, could it be that Lian Po was frightened and dared? ”

"That's enough." Qin Wangji was troubled by the courtiers' arguments and scolded loudly.

When the courtiers saw King Qin shouting angrily, they instantly remained quiet.

Qin Wangji's eyes first looked at the person who had stopped fighting, and then at Fan Ju, and sneered: "Qin Xiang is right. Wenchen offered advice, and the generals went to war. Only when you do your part will the country prosper. It's not as cheap as an old man's ear! You're scared like this. The dignity of my Great Qin soldiers has been lost to you. ”

Although the courtiers dared to reprimand Fan Ju angrily, they did not dare to offend the King of Qin, and said: "The ministers are incompetent. ”

Qin Wangji also knew that these courtiers were dissatisfied with him, but he didn't dare to vent it. These people are talking about Fan Ju on the surface, but they are alluding to themselves.

In the past few days, Qin Wangji has held back a lot of anger and took advantage of the situation, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while." The widow wanted to take Changping and crusade against Zhao. But you were so frightened by Zhao Jianglian that you didn't dare to fight. It's just an old man, what are you afraid of? ”

Qin Wangji reprimanded these ministers who boycotted the war, not only to be angry for himself, but also to be angry for Fan Ju. These days, the voices of these ministers have made him very uncomfortable.

After Qin Wangji reprimanded the ministers who had stopped the war, he was angry. However, he also has to consider a practical problem, that is, Wang Di and Lian Po are deadlocked in the Dan River. This battle has been a stalemate for a long time. He believed that he could win the Zhao State, but the Qin State would also be dragged down.

Because of the Zhao State, the Qin State was dragged down. In other days, how to conquer the princes, the sword pointed at the Central Plains. What if the princes of Han, Wei, Chu and other princes saw that Qin and Zhao were defeated, and jointly attacked Qin.

Qin Wangji looked at Fan Ju and asked, "Fan Ju, why do you want to fight with Zhao Guo." Do you know the situation that my country is facing now? ”

Fan Ju said: "Minister, I know." ”

Qin Wangji asked, "What do you know?" ”

Fan Ju saw that King Qin was testing him, and replied: "Zhao State has fought a protracted war of attrition with our country, which has many disadvantages for our country. ”

Qin Wangji asked, "What's the disadvantage?" ”

Fan Ju said: "Our labor expedition is intended to be a quick victory. If we fight a protracted war of attrition with Zhao, the drawbacks of the supply of ordnance, grain and grass will be presented. When the soldiers saw that they could not quickly break the Zhao army, their morale would also decline. This is also the reason why Lian Po is on the defensive. ”

"You know why you fight." Qin Wangji saw that he was an understanding person, but he couldn't understand why he insisted on fighting.

Fan Julang said: "When we strike the war, we are showing weakness to the Zhao State. We can't show weakness to Zhao Guo, so we can only continue to fight. ”

Seeing that he wanted to speak, Qin Wangji shouted, "Go on." ”

"Zhao is brave, and it is by no means comparable to the soldiers of Han and Wei." Fan Ju's tone became faster and faster, "The battle between us and Zhao is not a small fight, but a battle for the whole country and a battle of national fortunes. ”

Fan Ju saw that Qin Wangji did not say anything against it, and said, "If I stop the war, I will choose to withdraw from the army." King Zhao will think that we can't win against Zhao. The princes will also think that we are afraid of the Zhao State. The result, what will be? ”

Qin Wangji asked, "What will happen?" ”

"King Zhao will unite the princes and fight me together. A new round of the trend of joining forces with Qin will be formed under the influence of Zhao State. Fan Ju deliberately stopped, and raised his voice again: "At that time, we will not face the Zhao State, but the princes of the world. ”

Qin Wangji calmed down and thought about it carefully. Fan Ju's words are not unreasonable. If he chooses to strike the war, the consequences will be unimaginable. Since he chose to start a war with Zhao State, he had to fight to the end. Qin Wangji despised the princes of the world, how could he be afraid of Zhao.

Seeing that King Qin was in thought, Fan Ju exclaimed: "The minister thinks that now is also the best time for us to beat Zhao Guo and separate the victory or defeat with Zhao State. ”

Although Qin Wangji was moved by the power of the other party's words, he was not in a hurry to show his heart and remained silent.

In order to force King Qin's superficial attitude, Fan Ju said loudly: "My country is attacking Zhao, Han, Wei, Qi, Chu, Yan, and the five countries do not help each other. We and Zhao Guo, one-on-one. This is not a godsend, let's beat Zhao Guo, what is it. ”

One person asked, "How can Prime Minister Qin conclude that the other five countries will not help Zhao defeat me." ”

"King Zhao succeeded to the throne and cut down Yan, broke the Yan army, and occupied its land. Relations between Yan and Zhao are not good. King Yan is busy opening up Hu Jiang, how can he help Zhao attack me. South Korea is frightened by us, and it no longer has the courage to fight again. Wei is afraid of our country, and even Wei Qi can't keep it, how dare he compete with me. ”

Qin Wangji thought for a while, let out a breath, and said slowly: "Han and Wei are afraid of me, and Yan and Zhao are evil. Han, Wei, Yan, the widow can be left alone. What will happen to the State of Qi and the State of Chu? ”

"The state of Chu is attacking Lu and attacking Xuzhou. Xuzhou is so important to align with the country. The monarchs and ministers of the Qi State naturally would not sit idly by. The State of Qi and the State of Chu are competing for Xuzhou, so they will not choose to help Zhao attack me. ”

Qin Wangji fell silent again, and he also felt that Fan Ju's words were all reasonable. Qin Wangji defeated Han and Wei, and broke through the Chu capital. Only the State of Zhao made the State of Qin sink into the sand. Zhao first had King Zhao Huiwen, and then Zhao Wei, and Qin fought with it without gaining the upper hand. Today, Zhao Guo is a fierce general, old and old, and dead. At this time, it is the opportunity to win the battle, how can you miss it.

Qin Wangji thought about it, he was over sixty years old, and he didn't know how long he could live. Qin Wangji has been in power for many years, and watching the decline of Chu and Qi successively, he has to act cautiously. One wrong step and all lost. He finally led the Qin State to this point, and he couldn't afford to lose the slightest.

Qin Wangji suppressed the fanaticism in his heart, tried to stay sober, and asked calmly: "If we fight, the soldiers will be exhausted." How do we cross the Dan River and take Changping? How should we boost our morale and fight against Lian Po to break the Zhao army. ”

Fan Ju knew that King Qin would have this question, and hurriedly said: "It's good that our soldiers are tired and weak. The same is true of Zhao Guo. ”

Qin Wangji said: "No one knows the attitude and determination of King Zhao's kid. What if King Zhao's kid insists on fighting the widow to the end. ”

Fan Ju looked into Qin Wangji's eyes, and said in a powerful tone: "This battle is related to the fortune of the country. Whoever makes it to the end will emerge victorious. ”

"Good. The widow fought with Zhao to the end. ”

"There's good news here." Fan Ju saw that King Qin finally showed his attitude, and that heart finally landed.

Qin Wangji stabilized his breath and asked, "What's the good news?" ”

Fan Ju took out a message sent by the scout to Handan, and sent it forward with both hands, "King Zhao couldn't resist the pressure and sent Zheng Zhu to our country to negotiate peace." ”

"What? Zhao Wangdan sent people to Xianyang to negotiate peace with us. Qin Wangji looked at the news sent by Fan Ju and laughed: "In this way, Zhao Guo can't stand it." ”

"King Zhao can't stand it, so he will choose to negotiate peace with us."

"That's great news. King Zhao couldn't stand it, so the widow fought with Zhao to the end. Qin Wangji's eyes surged with a strong fighting intent, and he said: "The number of outnumbered people has increased by 100,000, and the soldiers of the wild king are also dispatched by Wang Yu." If you don't break the Zhao army, don't take Changping, and the widow vows not to give up. ”

"Who dares to make peace, fight with Zhao, and mess with my morale." Qin Wangji faced the ministers and said intimidatingly: "Behead." ”
