Chapter 121: King Ji of Qin marches the whole country to conquer in person
"The old man has fought for most of his life, pulled out more than 70 cities, conquered cities, and killed countless enemies. What kind of hard battle has the old man not fought. Bai Qi's words gradually became a little low, and his eyes were a little more complicated, "This battle is the most difficult battle that the old man has encountered, and it is also the battle that the old man is most afraid of." ”
In this battle, Wu Anjun had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, but he was still not sure to take Changping. Instead, he asked the King of Qin to recruit 200,000 soldiers. In this way, this battle is really tricky. Bai Qi is the god of war respected in Sima Terrier's heart, how can he not help but erect it, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Wu Anjun, why did you say this." It's just a concubine, there's nothing to be afraid of. ”
Bai Qi smiled lightly: "This battle will drain all the Qin State. If I lose, I will also put the Qin State into it, and the consequences are unimaginable. We cannot afford to lose this battle, and we cannot afford to lose it. ”
Wang Yi had never seen Wu Anjun have such a look, and asked, "Wu Anjun, what will happen if we lose." ”
"If we lose, the princes will respect the state of Zhao. Zhao will pry the princes and attack me together. Bai Qi thought of this and sighed, "What will be the consequences." I don't say, you can guess it. ”
The state of Qin was attacked twice by the princes. The first time was under the encouragement of Sun Yan, the Duke of Wei, with the respect of Chu, and united with Chu, Wei, Han, Zhao, Yan and Yiqu, the old enemy in the north of Qin, to attack Qin. Another time, thirty years ago, under the instigation of Meng Weijun, with Qi as the leader and Kuang Zhang as the general, united Han and Wei to break through the Hangu Pass of the Qin State head-on.
If the third expedition against Qin was formed, it was formed under the influence of Zhao under the crushing defeat of Qin. The state of Qin will tide over unprecedented difficulties. In this battle, the Qin State can only win, and must not lose.
The generals also understood why Wu Anjun chose to fight steadily, and he had to increase Xianyang's troops by another 200,000, and Qin Wangji personally conquered to be sure of victory.
Sima Terrier said: "Wu Anjun is the god of war of the Qin State. Invincible, invincible. With Wu Anjun here, he will definitely lead my Great Qin soldiers to victory. ”
Bai Qi asked, "Do you think we won?" ”
"Our troops are on par with the Zhao State, but Wu Anjun has besieged hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops. This is something that has never been done before. Sima Terrier said proudly: "Our results are still there, naturally we won." ”
"In the First Battle of Changping, we fought for three years, and how many soldiers were killed." Bai Qi saw that the generals lowered their heads, and said: "Since the founding of Great Qin, except for the five countries to attack Qin, the soldiers of Chu besieged Lantian, and Qi, Han, and Wei conquered Hangu Pass, how could he have killed so many soldiers. In this battle, we won and we lost. ”
Wang Yi sighed: "In the past thirty years, only we have bullied the princes, and no prince dared to bully the Qin State. Except for the fiasco and the fiasco, I, Daqin, have never suffered such a big loss. ”
Sima Terrier also said: "The Five Kingdoms attacked Qin, the Battle of Lantian, and the Qi State attacked Qin, and we didn't have so many soldiers killed in battle. However, in this battle, our casualties are also unprecedented. ”
"Zhao Guo is a terrible enemy, fortunately, we surrounded them." Bai Qi sighed with emotion: "It is worthy of the Zhao Kingdom after King Zhao Wuling implemented the Hufu cavalry shooting, which is even stronger than we imagined. Although we trapped this Zhao army, they were highly motivated. We attacked several times, but we were all repulsed. In this battle, we consume a lot of money, and if we are not careful, we will lose. The old man, who fought all his life, broke the three Jin, and stepped on Nanchu, he didn't expect to meet an opponent in his later years. ”
"I wrote a letter to the king, asking for an increase of 200,000 troops, and the king himself to levy. Only when we resist it with the strength of the whole country will we have a chance of victory. Bai Qi cheered up again, his eyes bright, "Zhao Shu is surrounded, the formation is not chaotic, and he can still fight back." Our army has suffered more than 200,000 casualties. This battle is a battle of world prestige and will be passed down through the ages. ”
It is said that Qin Wangji sent people to Handan to spread rumors, divide the monarchs and ministers of Handan, and replace Lian Po. Later, he replaced Lian Po with Bai Qi as the general. Qin Wangji thought to himself, "Wu Anjun will definitely be able to win in one battle." ”
Qin Wangji was in Xianyang, waiting left and right, but he still didn't wait for the news of the victory from the front. Qin Wangji never thought that Wu Anjun would not be able to end the war.
At night, the gate of Xianyang was closed. A scout, with a bright black flag behind his back, hurried to the city of Xianyang. The scout shouted to the guards on the tower, "Urgent military situation, open the city gate quickly." ”
The guard looked down at the city and replied: "According to Qin law, the night is forbidden and the city gate cannot be opened. ”
"This is the military information that Wu Anjun ordered me to send back around the clock. Wait, if you don't open the city gate, you will delay the military situation, and the king will blame it, can you afford it? ”
The guards did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Open the city gate." ”
When the scouts saw the gates of the city opened, they drove their horses.
Qin Wangji had just fallen asleep, but he heard a commotion outside, opened his eyes, and asked, "Outside, what's going on?" ”
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Qin is here." The eunuch who was sleeping rushed in.
Qin Wangji sat on the bed and asked, "Qin Xiang came to visit late at night, what are you doing?" ”
Seeing that Qin Wangji looked displeased, the eunuch disturbed his dream, and snorted: "Prime Minister Qin said that the front line sent an emergency military situation. ”
"Urgent military intelligence?" Qin Wangji waited for so long, and finally arrived, and shouted: "Quick, quick, call Qin Xiang to come in." ”
Not long after, Qin Xiang Fan Ju walked in, saw that Qin Wangji had already loosened his clothes, and saluted: "Minister, see the king." ”
Qin Wangji said: "Qin Xiang saw me late at night and brought some good news. ”
"The minister just got a report from the scout, this is an urgent military information sent by Wu Anjun. The minister, afraid of delaying the big event, so he boldly entered the palace to ask to see the king. Fan Ju said on the one hand, and on the other hand, he took out the military report sent back and put it on the head of the whole country.
Qin Wangji walked down the throne quickly, picked up the battle report, and saw that the battle report was well sealed, so he hurriedly opened it and looked at it. Qin Wangji saw the first few words, and laughed: "It is worthy of Wu Anjun, who actually surrounded hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops." ”
Qin Wangji looked at the content behind him, his expression changed slightly, and he handed the battle report to Fan Ju, his tone was unhappy, "Take a look!" ”
Fan Ju heard that there was something wrong with the words in Qin Wangji's mouth, so he raised his hand to take the battle report and read it.
Qin Wangji walked to the throne, sat down, supported his forehead with his hand and said: "Wu Anjun wants to increase his troops by 200,000, lead the army to conquer in person, and attack Zhao throughout the country." What do you think about this. ”
After reading the battle report, Fan Ju put it away, looked at King Qin, and said worriedly: "It is not easy for Wu Anjun to surround hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops. However, we have also lost more than 100,000 soldiers. From this point of view, this battle is not easy to fight! ”
Qin Wangji rubbed the corners of his tired eyes, looked up at Fan Ju, slowed down his tone, and asked, "Wu Anjun is the god of war of the Qin State, and he can't help a little hairy child in his twenties. Wu Anjun wanted to increase his troops by 200,000, and he also had to personally recruit and attack Zhao in the whole country. In this battle, Wu Anjun didn't fight very well. has a reputation as a god of war. ”
Fan Ju pondered for a while, and saw that Qin Wangji was suspicious and committed again. Fan Ju carefully considered his words and replied cautiously: "Minister, I heard that there are ten times as many soldiers, so I can surround them." Wu Anjun's soldiers, on a par with the Zhao army, were able to surround the Zhao army. Wu Anjun also played out the reputation of the god of war. ”
"When the god of war comes out, he should be invincible. Bai Qi not only did not take Changping, but also had to continue to increase his troops and fight for the whole country. This battle is fought to this extent, isn't this a loss of Wu Anjun's face? Qin Wangji stabilized his mind and pointed at Fan Ju, "You still speak for him." ”
Fan Ju couldn't figure out whether King Qin's words were happy or angry, and pandered: "It is easy for Wu Anjun to defeat the Zhao army and take Changping. Wu Anjun didn't choose to do this, it was for the next big game of chess. ”
"Play chess." Qin Wangji smiled: "Interesting, interesting." Wu Anjun actually regarded the Qin and Zhao armies as chess pieces. Tell me, what kind of chess Wu Anjun played. ”
Fan Ju said: "Wu Anjun wants to swallow hundreds of thousands of Zhao Jun in one breath. ”
"What did you say?" It's not that Qin Wangji didn't hear it, but Fan Ju's words, which shocked him too much. Wu Anjun actually wanted to eat hundreds of thousands of Zhao Jun in one go, which was unheard of.
Fan Ju said: "Wu Anjun besieged the Zhao army just to eat them. ”
Qin Wangji pondered for a moment and asked, "Can Wu Anjun eat?" ”
Fan Ju said in a powerful tone: "He is my country's god of war, dare to think, dare to eat?" ”
Qin Wangji felt extremely excited when he thought about it. If you can really eat hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops in one go, the princes of the world, who can compete with the Qin State. The prestige of Great Qin will spread throughout the princes. The affairs of the world will be decided by the Qin State.
Qin Wangji didn't show his intentions, and stretched his sleeves, "It is worthy of being a strong soldier left by Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry, and even Wu Anjun can't win completely." was able to resist Wu Anjun's offensive. ”
"Zhao Jiangkuo is the son of Ma Fujun Zhao Hao, who is good at using soldiers and proficient in the art of war. It is said that he and Ma Fujun and Du Changjun have never lost in the battle. ”
"The widow has heard of the good soldiers, but he has never put on his armor and gone into battle. A young man who only talks about winning or losing, what real ability does he have, how can he be Wu Anjun's opponent. ”
"Wu Anjun fought so hard, so cautious, presumably the erection of the son with soldiers, not weak his father Ma Fujun, nor weak Wu Anjun." Fan Ju didn't expect Wu Anjun to fight so hard, and said: "Wu Anjun has met an opponent." ”
Qin Wangji chuckled and said, "Shaft, you can become Wu Anjun's opponent." Isn't it laughable when this sentence spreads. Is the vertical too powerful, or Wu Anjun too useless. ”
Fan Ju didn't want to argue with Qin Wangji about this sentence, so he saluted and said: "This battle is about the fortune of the country. Please pour the power of the country and raise troops to attack Zhao. ”
"The only way to force the widows, Qin State, and Wu Anjun to this point is the Hufu cavalry of King Zhao Wuling." Qin Wangji said so, but he also had to attach great importance to it, "The widow really wants to increase his army by 200,000, and he wants to conquer Zhao Hu with the whole country?" ”
Fan Ju said seriously: "For the sake of national fortune, please ask the king to conquer Zhao in person." ”
Qin Wangji said: "National fortune? ”
"In the Battle of Changping, we fought for three years. The strength of Qin and Zhao has reached nearly one million. Since King Wu has been fighting so far, how can he have such a big formation. Fan Ju said: "When we go to war with Zhao, it is no longer a small fight, but a battle between big countries and the whole country." ”
"In this battle, we can only win, not lose." Fan Ju said in high spirits: "If we defeat the Zhao State, won't the princes take the lead of the Qin State." The annexation of the six kingdoms by the Qin State and the domination of the world are just around the corner. ”
"Okay." The annexation of the six countries and the unification of the world, these eight words deeply moved Qin Wangji, and Qin Wangji also wanted to hear it the most, "For the sake of national fortune, for the world." The widow increased his army by 200,000 and went out in person to raise his morale and fight the whole country. If you don't break the Zhao country, you will not give up. ”
Fan Ju said: "Your Majesty, we have increased our troops from Xianyang and other counties to attack Zhao. When we waited to recruit soldiers and rush to Changping, it was too late. ”
"You're right." Qin Wangji asked, "What can you do?" ”
"The minister thinks that the army should be recruited on the spot?"
"Local conscription?"
"If we recruit troops in Hanoi County, we will be able to go to the front line in time to start a war with Zhao State."
"The Hanoi conscription is the solution to these problems." Qin Wangji said suspiciously: "But, there is a problem. Hedong belongs to my Qin State, and my heart is to the Three Jins. We recruit them to fight Zhao, and they will agree? ”
"The grain route of the main force of the Zhao army was cut off by Wu Anjun. We went to Hanoi County, conferred the title of the local people, and recruited young people over the age of 15 to rush to Changping to intercept the reinforcements and grain transportation of the Zhao State. Fan Ju said: "Your Majesty, we can achieve great things." ”
"Okay." Qin Wangji said loudly: "For the sake of the world, achieve hegemony." The widow personally went to Hanoi County to recruit troops, fought the whole country, and fought with Zhao to the end. ”
