Chapter 145: The Hero is Lonely

"Wu Anjun, there is an edict from the king." Sima Terrier took the envoy to Wu Anjun Baiqi and saluted.

When Bai Qi heard this, he led the generals and listened to the edict.

The envoy of the State of Qin stepped forward, faced the generals, took out the edict of the King of Qin, and said loudly: "The king has an order, and Changping has been fighting for three years. In this battle, although we won, we lost more than half. The war also led to the emptiness of the country, the withering of the people's livelihood, and the exhaustion of the soldiers. The move of the Eastern Expedition to Handan was stopped. Please Wu Anjun, return home quickly. ”

When Bai Qi heard these words, he said with a slightly angry expression: "What did you say." ”

The Qin envoy was afraid of Wu Anjun's angry look, and said in a trembling tone: "The king has an order... Domestic... Soldiers... The Eastern Expedition to Handan was stopped... Wu Anjun returned to China. ”

It's not that Bai Qi didn't hear clearly what the messenger said, but what the messenger said made him unacceptable. He killed Zhao pawn and did not hesitate to bear the infamy, just to take Handan and kill Zhao in one go.

These words of King Qin made his efforts and hard work all in vain.

Bai Qi looked at the envoy and asked, "The king supported me to attack Handan and killed the Zhao State." Why did the king change his mind? ”

The Qin envoy was in awe of Wu Anjun, and said in a trembling tone: "Zhao sent an envoy to our country to ask for peace. ”

Bai Qi asked, "Who did King Zhao send to sue for peace?" ”

Qin envoy said: "First Su Li, then Pingyuan Jun." ”

"Go down!" Bai Qi shouted: "Come on, don't snub the messenger." ”

The Qin envoy asked tentatively, "Wu Anjun, the king's edict." ”

Bai Qi took the edict and didn't say a word. The Qin envoy handed over the edict to Wu Anjun, not wanting to stay here for a while.

Sima Terrier said angrily: "We fought bloodily on the front line, and finally won Changping. Killed 450,000 Zhao and stirred up the morale of the army. Xianyang's side is good, and he even thought of negotiating peace. ”

Zhang Kai also said: "Wu Anjun, we should expand the results of the battle, take Handan, and make meritorious deeds." ”

Another person shouted: "Please Wu Anjun give an order, only take Handan, and kill Zhao State." ”

There were many warriors, echoing in unison.

Bai Qi looked at the general, although he was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey the edict of King Qin. Bai Qi glanced at the edict and said coldly: "Pull out Changping, kill and surrender, Zhao Guo's vitality is greatly damaged." The monarchs and ministers of Handan in Zhao State were panicked, and everyone in danger was in danger. If I wave my troops to the east, I can take Handan in one battle, kill the Zhao State, and build a thousand years of meritorious deeds, and make a name for future generations. However, the king does not trust me. ”

Bai Qi was unhappy in his heart, and said regretfully: "It's a pity! Pity. We missed the best opportunity to conquer Handan. If you want to die Zhao again, it's not so easy. ”

Sima Terrier comforted: "Wu Anjun, don't be upset. Today, we cannot conquer Handan. We'll have a chance to attack in the future. ”

Zhang Kai also said: "Not bad. If Zhao does not die today, there will be a chance tomorrow. ”

"It's hard! It's hard! Seeing that these people underestimated the backbone of the Zhao family's boys, "The descendants of the Zhao family have many disasters and difficulties. If we give them time, they will be able to recover and achieve great things. If we want to attack it again, it will not be so easy. ”

The first general shouted: "Zhao's son, we killed 450,000 by us." The name of Wu Anjun is a nightmare for Zhao Guo. Wu Anjun is here, Zhao's son, how dare he resist. ”

"Wu Anjun is out of the horse, Zhao's son, it's not for us to slaughter."

Bai Qi motioned to the generals to be quiet, "Zhao's son's terrible, you have seen it." We fought directly against each other and had no upper hand. In the first battle of Changping, we killed 450,000 Zhao soldiers. Our country is full of strength, and the king wants to conquer it himself. The enemy general did not know that it was me, and my country was lost by nearly half. Zhao's son, it's not easy to bully. If we underestimate them, we will suffer. ”

Zhang Wei said: "Wu Anjun, how can you grow the ambition of others and destroy our prestige." Zhao's sons are good at fighting, how can they be Wu Anjun's opponents. With Wu Anjun here, Zhao Guo is not afraid. ”

"What if I'm gone?" Wu Anjun saw that the generals couldn't answer, "I have been fighting against the princes for more than 40 years, and I have broken the city for more than 70 years. In my life, there was no defeat. However, after fighting all year round, I also fell ill. Can I fight with the princes, can I fight with the heavens? I've reached this age, and I can be regarded as God's love. Heaven will give me as much time as I want. ”

Sima Terrier said: "Wu Anjun is physically tough, he is the god of war of my country, how can he say these depressing words." ”

"I killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao pawns, which is a double-edged sword. This move can not only hit the morale of the Zhao people, but also stimulate their feelings of revenge. How difficult it is to break Zhao in the future. Bai Qi sighed: "It's a pity! We missed the chance to die. ”

Sima Terrier saw the power of Zhao's son, and felt empathy, "We all know what Wu Anjun said. However, the King of Qin didn't know, and neither did the ministers of Xianyang. ”

Bai Qi said abruptly: "A Su Li, a plain king, how can he say that the king and Zhao Guo will negotiate peace." ”

Sima Terrier continued: "Su Li is the younger brother of Su Dai and Su Qin. His brother's debating talent is well known to all princes. Su Li can become King Zhao's lobbyist, and his talent must not be weak. ”

Zhang Kai also said: "Pingyuan Jun is the uncle of King Zhao, and his status is prominent. He went to the State of Qin, representing sincerity. ”

"I want to break Handan, destroy the Zhao State, and take thousands of miles of territory from Zhao." Bai Qi looked at the few lines in the edict, "The king only needs the six cities of Zhao to agree to peace." Woe! Sorrowful. ”

The generals couldn't figure out why King Qin would make such an edict.

Sima Terrier asked: "Wu Anjun said that Su Li and Pingyuan Jun couldn't convince the king. Could it be that it was the Prime Minister of Qin, and he also agreed with Zhao to seek peace. ”

"Fan Ju is the king's favorite minister, if he opposes it, the king will not approve of it." Bai Qi put down the edict, "Fan Ju also agrees with Zhao to sue for peace, and my king will issue this edict." ”

Sima Terrier was still a little puzzled, and asked, "We broke Handan and killed Zhao State." The territory of Zhao is the territory of Qin. Why did the king agree to the conditions with Zhao as long as he wanted six cities. ”

Zhang Wei shouted: "The king is not confused, don't you know that this is a loss-making business." ”

"The king is jealous of my military exploits!" Bai Qi put this sentence in his heart, "The king's edict is here, what do you say!" ”

The generals said in unison: "Wu Anjun said to fight Handan, and we will fight Handan." ”

"Didn't you notice the changes in the barracks?" Bai Qi had long been aware of the changes that had taken place in the army, "If there is no king's order, I can't move the army." Even if I mobilized a large army, there was no food or grass to support me. If I disobey the king's command, and attack Handan. Wang Ji, Wang Ling and others will also crusade against me for treason. ”

Zhang shouted: "They dare? ”

Bai Qi motioned for him to be quiet, "We first fought with South Korea for three years, and then fought with Zhao for three years. In this battle, although our army won, it was tired. After fighting for so long, the soldiers didn't want to fight. Now that the king's order has come and the soldiers know it, I can do anything about it. ”

Sima Terrier said angrily: "How can the king question Wu Anjun's heart for the country. ”

Bai Qi smiled lightly: "You don't understand our king, and you haven't seen the king's methods. He seems to be a benevolent monarch who treats people sincerely. Once, if he is ruthless, he will not recognize his six relatives. You also know the fate of Empress Dowager Mi, Marquis and others! ”

Sima Terrier shuddered and asked, "Wu Anjun's return to China is not very dangerous. ”

Zhang Kai also said: "The king is afraid of Wu Anjun, how to protect himself after returning to the country." ”

"I can only pretend to be sick and close the door to dispel the king's suspicion." Bai Qi looked up to the sky and sighed, and resigned himself to his fate: "I can't escape this catastrophe, this is my last battle." ”

Zhang Wei scolded: "Wu Anjun's merits were obtained step by step by virtue of military merits. Fan Ju was nothing more than an exile from the Wei State. He just relied on a mouth to please the king, what ability did he have. ”

Sima Terrier was also indignant and said: "The king named him the prime minister of Qin, which is no longer convincing. In the Battle of Changping, we fought with our lives against the Zhao people on the front line. What credit does he have, he was actually named the Marquis, which is more than Wu Anjun's credit. I'm not convinced. ”

Gan Ying, a veteran who was silent for a long time and didn't say a word, also said: "Yes! Fan Ju didn't do anything, but he became Qin Xiang. Now, I have been named the Marquis again, and I also feel unfair for Wu Anjun. ”

According to the military merits of the Qin State, Wu Anjun won Changping, killed 450,000 Zhao soldiers, and made great achievements for Great Qin, which can be described as a great contribution. Wu Anjun is not allowed to tear the earth and seal the country, at least he is the marquis and worships the prime minister. However, King Qin did not seal or punish Wu Anjun, but instead named Fan Ju as a marquis, which is indeed unconvincing.

Wu Anjun saw that all the generals were complaining about him, and his originally very lost mood gradually improved. Wu Anjun thanked him and said: "I remember your feelings for me. Thank you for not giving up, and follow me to conquer the princes. It's my fault that I failed to raise your knighthood. I'm sorry everyone! ”

Wu Anjun motioned to the generals not to speak, and continued: "The king will not seal or punish me. It has the king's intentions and arrangements. Please, don't say much, lest you get into trouble. ”

Zhang Yu shouted: "Wu Anjun, how can you accept your fate like this." ”

Sima Terrier also said: "Great Qin, since Qin Xiaogong, he has been awarded knights according to merit. Ranked in the Qin Phase, that one does not have military merits. Gongsun Yan recovered Hexi and was named Daliangzao. Zhang Yi is the prime minister of Qin, and he also has the merit of breaking the princes. Yan Jun is the right minister, and he is also a Qi and Chu, and he breaks the three Jins. Gan Mao is on the left, and he also has the merit of Ping Bashu, Yiyang, and Zhou Room. The marquis is the prime minister, and he has also made great achievements in war, protecting Qin for decades. Fan Ju, what is the merit, in the phase. ”

The generals also said: "I can't wait." ”

What credit does Fan Ju have, these people don't know, how can Bai Qi not know. If it weren't for Fan Ju, how could King Qin imprison the Empress Dowager and expel the Marquis and others. Bai Qi also knew that King Qin had named Fan Ju as a marquis, and he wanted to convey a signal. With the help of Fan Ju and others, he supported Wang Yi and other generals to suppress and weaken his influence.

Fan Ju's status in King Qin's heart is far more important than him. Bai Qi thought that he was dedicated to the country, but he was suspicious and neglected by King Qin. Perhaps, there are more important reasons. That is, the king of Qin thought that he was the person promoted by the Empress Dowager Xuan and the Marquis of Sui, and he did not dare to reuse it with confidence.

Bai Qi thought of this, disheartened, and took a breath, "I don't accept my fate, so what." ”

Sima Terrier said: "Wu Anjun, we will jointly make a proposal to the king. ”

Bai Qi stopped: "Absolutely not." ”

Sima Terrier asked, "Why not." ”

"Your actions are to ask for my life and seek justice." Bai Qi's words changed, "The king thinks that I am forcing you to force the palace." ”

Sima Terrier looked miserable and said, "I have no intention of forcing the palace. ”

"I know you don't. However, the king would not think so. ”

Seeing that this would not work, that would not work, Zhang Wei was very humiliated, and asked, "Wu Anjun, we will not do anything." ”

"The old man has been fighting for most of his life, and he is tired. The king called me back, and I could rest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to part, send me with a song. Bai Qi looked at Xianyang and sang: "How can you say that you have no clothes, how can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son." Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son! ”

The generals suddenly heard the singing and sang, "How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son! How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”
