Chapter 56
Outside Changping City, there was silence. In the distance, there were a few Qin camps fluttering with black flags, as if they were hunters' leather tents, and they didn't feel that a big battle between Qin and Zhao was imminent.
Le Yi looked at all this, and suddenly felt a fear in his heart. He looked back at the Changping city that he had just walked out, and the 500,000-strong army had dressed it up majesticly, but in the flames of the horn, he could always feel a trace of sadness. In the royal court of Zhao State, there has never been such a feeling, on the contrary, King Zhao may be intoxicated with his own courage to change the world.
Le Yi came to Zhao State is his own idea, and learned from Zhang Yi that Bai Qi had secretly come to Changping, and he knew that Qin State had transferred the elite to Zhao State, and a bloody battle was inevitable. He had already realized from Mr. Guigu's hint and Bai Qi's murderous psychology that he should stop this inaction-killing killing, that is, there were Zhao Guo's and Bai Qi's.
Le Yi knew that Yan Guo would no longer ally with Zhao State, and the two states, which had been close to each other, had lost the most basic trust after a long period of alliance and cooperation between the nations, and would rather watch him coldly see the flames of war. Like the other remnants of the Princes, they also dreamed of letting Zhao, a soldier with some strength, consume the Qin State, so that they could survive in their respite.
No matter how fat the sheep are, they also eat grass, and Zhao Guo is a sheep, a lonely sheep. No matter how thin a wolf is, he has to eat meat, and Qin is a wolf, a pack of wolves. Le Yi had such a concept in his mind, and he walked into the royal court of Zhao with worries.
"King! Qin Diaobai and hundreds of thousands of troops intended to fight with Zhao to determine the world. "Le Yi is unabashed." Le Yi dared to ask the king, can you know that the school will win or lose in this battle? β
King Zhao didn't answer, he knew that the Zhao army didn't have a lot of victories, and he just wanted to hold Zhao City from attack. But he couldn't say that in the royal court, he looked at Lian Po, the general who had just been replaced.
Lian Po took a step forward. "General Le! Lian Po has been holding on to Zhaocheng for three years, and the Qin army can't bear it. β
"General Lian! He was in the past, and Zhao poured the strength of the country to fight against the Qin soldiers. However, the Qin army defeated Chu, Han, and Wei with most of them, and now it is full-fledged, and there is no need to worry about dividing the army. The Qin army secretly gathered in the Zhao realm and poured the strength of the country, and the Zhao army has been tired for three years, and there is no foreign aid, such a battle, the general should know the result! "Le Yi respects Lian Po, not only side by side, but also Zhao Bing, who is the only strong soldier, and who has been guarding Changping for three years.
He turned to King Zhao. "What's more, General Lian has been replaced!"
King Zhao was a little displeased, he was not annoyed by Le Yi's evaluation of the army, but taboo to talk about changing generals, which must be his own judgment. "General Le is here from Yan, what do you think?"
"Le Yi is also a person abandoned by the royal court, he is in the countryside, he has no high vision, but he has learned the art of war roughly, and he knows a little, but he can't bear to see the common people do nothing, so he admonishes the king. The Art of War says that fighting knowing that you can't fight is a taboo for your army. The true scriptures are also clouds, the trend is virtuous, and the reverse trend is sad. He looked at King Zhao with sincerity. Bai Qi killed 80,000 Chu prisoners, the world was shocked, and it was not ashamed to mention it, but the promise of the king of Qin will be unified! When Zhao Yu was in the trend of major events, he called for soldiers and went against the trend, and it was too late! β
"Alarmist!" King Zhao said angrily. "Zhao Guoning is a broken jade, not a complete tile! Besides, I, General Zhao Kuo, am also familiar with the art of war, and I will be able to block the Qin army outside Changping! β
"My king is still the words of General Sansile!" Pingyuan-kun stepped forward. "What General Le said is not war or not, but only hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people's lives, this is also the living soul of the world, and it is not exclusive to my Zhao country!"
"Humph!" King Zhao looked at Pingyuan Jun. "You are a descendant of the royal family, and Jing also said such ridiculous words, and this king is very ashamed!" He turned to Le Yi. "This king respects Mr. Guigu, and really feels that he has saved countless Zhao Jun, let me read you as a disciple of Guigu, and I have also been loyal to Yanguo, and I will not cure you of the crime of disturbing the army's heart. If you have the idea of the world's life, you should persuade the cruel retrograde Bai Qi! He turned to the side. Drop-off! β
Le Yi walked out of the royal court, his heart was like a boulder oppressing. He sighed that he had been fighting horses for half his life, and he had survived in danger, and he had not given in. Today, he should be a guest and persuade people to stop their soldiers, and they should be laughed at. It is no wonder that Su Qin and Zhang Yi are famous in other countries, and their advice is all for the benefit of war. And their own advice is all for peace, who will think about the interests of the people. It seems that where the white starts, there will be no good results, no wonder Zhang Yi doesn't follow the words!
Le Yi galloped forward, gradually moving away from Changping and entering the Qin army camp.
A small group of Qin Armor rushed over, facing the spears and blocking the way.
"If you dare to spy on Qin Ying, it must be Zhao Guo's meticulous work! Take. The soldier shouted.
Le Yi waved his hand to stop. "I am Yanren Le Yi, I have something to meet General Bai Qi!"
The generals were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Finally, a soldier drove his horse forward, took down Le Yi's long sword, took out the black brocade, and blindfolded him.
Bai Qi was in a daze in front of the sand table, and when he heard the news of Le Yi's visit, he immediately went out of the account to greet him. He took off the mask on Le Yi's face with his own hands, laughed and pulled him into the Chinese army's tent.
Le Yi looked at the sand table, and the mountains, rivers, and official roads of Zhao Country were clear at a glance. "Senior Brother Bai is confident, I'm afraid that this sand table will soon be useless!"
"Hahaha!" Bai Qi laughed. "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, his subordinates are rushing to control the sand table of Yan and Qi, is this the sand table of Zhao State, the generals of the Qin army can all keep it in mind." He motioned for everyone to stand back and stare at Lego. "Senior brother knows that I am here, I must have seen Kuaizui Zhangyi!"
"Of course, otherwise Ling Gongzi will not be safe with his senior brother!"
"Sir, too worried! What is difficult to teach your own heirs, junior brother is filial, when you listen to the words of Mr., then Senior Brother Lao bothered! β
"Senior brother doesn't have to be polite, as the saying goes, a single sheep is also driven, and a flock of sheep is also released!" He sat down at the table with Bai Qi and picked up the teacup. "When is the junior brother going to attack the Zhao army?"
"Senior brother no longer asks the nations, why do you say this today?" Bai Qi smiled and looked at Le Yi. "Senior brother won't tell junior brother, King Zhao asks you to go out of the mountain to fight me!"
"I really let my junior brother guess correctly!" Le Yi said with a smile. "Senior brother is here to tell junior brother, stop bothering the soldiers, and cultivate the Eight Directions Thanksgiving Formation. You and I have been herding sheep for four years, and it's a little boring to play! β
Bai Qi's face changed sharply, and he looked at Le Yi in panic. "Senior brother really came on behalf of Zhao Kuo?"
Le Yi tasted tea alone, and Hu Yi made Bai Qi anxious.
"Senior brother must be lying to me!" Bai Qi leaned over and stared at Le Yi.
Le Yi laughed. "For the sake of the junior brother's eight-way thanksgiving formation, I see that you are in a hurry! If I really do, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of my junior brother's Chinese army tent. It's a pity," he looked at Bai Qi, who was also relaxed. "In order to unify the world as soon as possible, Senior Brother really can't go against the general trend."
Bai Qi let out a sigh of relief. "King Zhao is finally blind, let this Zhao Kuo change to Lian Po, the junior brother has been preparing for several months, just for this battle!" He looked at Le Yi with a smile. "Bai Qi is afraid that there will be no chance to play the formation after this battle, senior brother don't envy the battle of the ancients before the junior brother!"
"Envy is envy, but you also have to serve your junior brother and use soldiers, in exchange for others, how dare you talk about the millions of people on both sides, only the junior brother!" Le Yi is solemn. "Senior brother Qingshi Liufang, this battle will let future generations of soldiers talk about wonders, junior brother should be cautious in words and deeds, morality first, don't let future generations laugh and be generous!"
"The senior brother commented, the junior brother was flattered!" Bai Qi laughed. "The junior brother knows the purpose of the senior brother's coming, and the junior brother has stayed for eternity, and he should also have a senior brother. The junior brother must be called the pre-military historian and record the words of the senior brother who knows this formation! β
"Senior brother regards Le Yi as a person who is greedy for fame and fortune!" Le Yi said solemnly. "Le Yi doesn't want this name!"
Bai Qi was busy laughing and making tea. "You and I have eaten and lived together for many years, and I don't know what the junior and younger brothers are saying, so why take it seriously! Dare to ask Senior Brother if he has any other intention to come here? β
"Yes!" Le Yi said lightly. "The senior brother had a gathering with Mr. before leaving, and saw the heart of the senior brother Mao Meng become an immortal, so he had a lot of feelings. The countries of the world today are looking at each other, all because of the long-term war over the grass, and the resentment in their hearts, so that the junior brother has this good opportunity. But the world will eventually unify and stop the army, just like the territory in the mountains, you and I and other senior brothers and brothers come and go without seeing the boundary river, and our hearts are similar. And after the game, in order to compete for prize food, they often do not cross the boundary river half a step, and they hate each other. Today, millions of soldiers are fighting, when there is love and hatred, life and death, but if the junior brother can reduce the death, don't make everyone hate in vain, isn't it also a virtuous virtue for future generations! Later generations unfold the scroll, not to be happy with the junior brother to seize the city, but to sigh with the great virtue of the junior brother, and to shout! He put down his teacup. Mr. is afraid that he will write on the bamboo slips with the virtue of Baiqi, and Le Yi is afraid that he will teach his descendants with the virtue of Baiqi."
Bai Qi nodded. "Bai Qi only woke up to come over, senior brother, Mr. has worked hard! Condolences sir. "Bai Qi knows his mistake, Chu is captured and killed, and Bai Qi will be Mr. Apologize!"
Mr. sighed several times that his disciples all achieved their skills in the name of learning the Tao, and they were really greedy for wealth, fame and fortune. And there are very few people who retreat bravely and concentrate on serving the Tao, on the contrary, they regard seeking death as the reason. Le Yi looked at Bai Qi sincerely. One will succeed in ten thousand bones, and once a son of heaven and a courtier! Especially the most taboo for the master of high merit, the junior brother thinks twice about this! β
Bai Qi was silent, pondering what Fang Cai Le Yi said.
Le Yi got up. "Senior brother still has other things, so don't bother junior brother's military affairs!"
"Why hurry!" Bai Qi also got up. "Senior brother still wants to get drunk with you!"
"No! This is the case before the army, and it is easy to cause trouble. You and I are both people who lead soldiers, and we should remember to be the first soldiers. After speaking, Le Yi walked outside the tent.
Bai Qi also came out with Le Yi, and the two got on the horse and walked forward for a long time.
"Senior brother, this formation is very good, it can subjugate people's soldiers, and so that those who enter the formation have no strength to fight back, admit defeat and surrender, senior brother is pleased!"
"Senior brother, you and I have been playing this trick for several years, there is no birth gate in the formation, the only life door is under our feet, hahaha! Thinking about that Zhao Kuo, he has never seen it, and he also boasts that he is proficient in the art of war! Back then, his son Zhao Hao humiliated his junior brother, and today I am not a rat captive generation, and I will learn from the Guigu Martial Arts! β
"Sir should be glad to hear this!"
"Senior brother, is he still going through Zhao Guo?"
"Exactly!" Le Yi looked at Bai Qi's desire to speak and stopped, and smiled. "Don't pace the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Senior brother can still vent this heavenly opportunity. β
The two burst out laughing.
"Senior brother went to Handan to help Senior Brother Lu. Don't you know, Senior Brother Lu is well-known in business, and he also gave apprentices Chu and Li Si, and Senior Brother Lu met Senior Sister Wenxiu by chance. β
"Senior Sister Wenxiu!" Bai Qi excited. "Where is she?"
Le Yi also smiled. "I see that you are as happy as Senior Brother, she is not far from Xianyang, you can ask Senior Brother Lu when you return to your teacher!"
"He's also coming to Qin?"
"Exactly. This time, Senior Brother Lu planned to rescue Zichu's family and return to Qin, Zhao already wanted to harm Zichu, and Senior Brother went to help him! β
"An Guojun is not on good terms with his junior brother, and this time he wants to supervise the army on the front line. The junior brother invited the king, accepted this call, he also wanted to sit and accept his merits, how can the junior brother deal with it! Bai Qi smiled contemptuously. However, Senior Brother Lu is very close to him, and he often earns a false name with his assets, but he really doesn't know that he is so cheap, so Senior Brother does not move around with him! β
"Senior brother, the same door, each with its own merits. If Senior Brother Lu has what he wants, Senior Brother should be assisted, and then when he goes to Qin Bang, Senior Brother should also move around and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses! β
"Moving around? I'm afraid that he is walking around with the crown prince, making plans and giving advice, and peeking into the throne of King Qin! β
"Junior brother, remember, don't fight with the royal family. With Senior Brother Lu on this line, Senior Brother should be the first to abandon each other and be incomprehensible, and you must not be proud of your achievements! β
Bai Qi didn't squeak, and suddenly changed the topic. "If Senior Sister Wenxiu had married Senior Brother Gongsun back then, I am afraid that she would have passed away!"
"Bad! With the senior sister by the side, the senior brother may be the same as Le Yi, gathering children and teaching! β
The two fell silent.
LΓΌ Buwei came out of Pingyuan Jun's mansion and drove his horse back, and as soon as he arrived at his mansion, he had already seen the carriage prepared in the courtyard, and he knew that Zichu and they must have been waiting for home.
He turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the hall, where Zichu's family and Li Si were already waiting anxiously. When they saw him come in, they all got up and stood up, and greeted him.
"Sir! Has it ever gone well? Li Si asked first.
Lu Buwei smiled. "All the best!" He looked at the people. "Packed up?"
"It's all cleaned up!" Zi Chu pointed at Zhao Ji as he spoke. "It's just that there are too many insiders! The disciple persuaded again and again, but she still loaded a cart. β
"When is it? I still think about things outside of my body. Lu Buwei looked at Zhao Ji. Bringing good children is the right thing to do! "He went over and helped win the government." Don't be greedy for fun on the road, you must listen to Li Si's words, and you can't walk around in private. β
Ying Zheng nodded vigorously.
"How did Sir convince Pingyuan-kun?" Zi Chu's face was nervous. "Zi Chu is worried that he Zhao Guo will not let our family go!"
"Of course King Zhao didn't want to let your family go! He also wants to take you to the head of Pingyang City, and use you to blackmail Bai Qi to retreat! Lu Buwei said. Persuade Pingyuan Jun as a teacher, let you use the name of returning to Qin to admonish, plus pour all my resources and materials to help the army, and my personal guarantee in exchange for this! β
"Sir..."Zi Chu was about to say thank you again, but Lu Buwei waved his hand to stop it. Don't gossip anymore, that's all you can do as a teacher! β
"Sir!" The head of the house looked at Lu Buwei. "This mansion and the business name are all given to them? How do we live? β
"Yes! Mr. Li Si looked at Lu Buwei anxiously. This is all the gentleman's belongings! β
LΓΌ Buwei looked around nostalgically, and then laughed miserably. "You wait and go, Pingyuan Jun will taste it, especially when the big battle starts, Zhao will be victimized, and at that time, he is afraid of eating your flesh and bones. If you stay for the teacher, it will be a dead end! He looked at Zichu. Now your father and Mrs. Anyang regard you as a virtuous son, and he will make you the prince one day, and he is afraid that you will make a mistake halfway, and you will be scheming! β
"Mr. is going to leave with Zichu?" Zichu's face was happy. "Zi Chu is thinking about this! With Mr. here, Zichu is down-to-earth. β
"Sir! Let's go together! Li Si also looked at him, extremely sincere. Mr. should know that this Zhao country will be gone sooner or later, and Xianyang should be the center of business. We can also return to business and create a new business while Mr. Sui is there! β
"Yes, sir! Zichu should do his best to repay Mr. and create a new foundation! "After Zi Chu shook his bow, he turned to Zhao Ji." We should regard Mr. as a father and send him to the end of his life! β
"Lake Tu!" Lu Buwei sighed. "For the teacher to help you go all the way to the prince, what kind of business are you doing! What kind of foundation to create, you are waiting for the teacher's foundation! He turned to Lees. That's all there is to it! β
Zhao Ji smiled and bowed sideways. "Zhao Ji will be called Lu Ji from now on, and he should take Mr. as his father! From then on he will never again be separated from his father. β
"Good!" Lu Buwei also looked happy. "Just as you say!" He turned to the housekeeper. "Quickly pack up your valuables and go to Qin with me!"
The housekeeper said yes and turned to leave.
Li Si was on LΓΌ Buwei. "Sir! There must be military cards along the way, do we still take the main road? β
"Never! Zhao only allowed Zichu to return to China alone, and now he found that his family was also with him, and he would be puzzled. We can take a detour to the land of the Hu people in the north, Le Yi has made arrangements, and there should be a Qin army to answer at that time! Lu Buwei said in a deep voice. It's up to fate! β
"What does the gentleman think of the battle after that?" Lees asked. "Is it really what I expected?"
"That's nature!" Lu Buwei nodded. "All the countries have been defeated, and now only the Zhao family is left against Qin. In terms of troops, assets and materials, it is impossible to fight for a long time, the situation is the general trend, and even Zhao Zu is unwilling to build a war! Le Yi also said that Yan Guo asked Guiguzi and asked Le Yi to lead the troops. But Mr. Wu persuaded Yan not to make no more sacrifices, just wait for the trend! Le Yi also did not accept the position of general. It can be seen that the world is unified, sooner or later. Qin needs virtuous ministers and talents, and it is even more difficult to rule the world! "He looked at Zichu." After you returned to Qin, you paid attention to the government and the opposition at that time, and he could use it every day! β
"Disciple, remember that Mr. teaches the sea!" Zichu nodded. "Sir is a virtuous minister, I should make a strong gesture to His Royal Highness Father, so that Mr. has a place in the court!"
"That is naturally powerful for you!" Lu Buwei nodded. "You should think about the world in your heart, and you can't just try to comfort yourself anymore!" He looked at Win Zheng. "This son is very smart, he is a teacher and teaches him deeply, and Dingqing is better than blue!"
"Zichu's family does not forget Mr. 's great kindness!" Zichu pulled over the Zheng government. "Kowtow to Mr."
Ying Zheng lay on the ground and bowed.
LΓΌ Buwei took a step forward, pulled him up, and hugged him in his arms again, with a happy face.
"Sir, the horses and vehicles are all ready!" The housekeeper hurriedly walked in.
"Let's go!" Lu Buwei said as he walked out with Ying Zheng in his arms.
There was a great chaos in the city of Handan, the people rushed to pull the horses, the people carried them on their backs, and the young and the old fled from the city gate to the outside of the city. For a time, on the main road outside Handan, there were crowds of people and countless complaints.
In the royal court, King Zhao and his ministers were silent with each other, peeking at each other anxiously, but they kept sighing.
Yesterday, the battle report of the former army had arrived, and the more than 400,000 troops led by Zhao Kuo were all captured by the Baiqi Qin army outside Changping City. This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, making the royal court vibrate. King Zhao's eyes were in a daze, and he looked at the battle report repeatedly, muttering to himself. "How is that possible? How can it be? "For a long time, he faced the ministers in a dejected manner." 400,000 Zhao Jun! 400,000 Zhao troops were captured by Bai Qi in one day! β
The ministers looked at King Zhao in horror.
"400,000!" King Zhao howled. "Even if 400,000 cattle and sheep are released, it is enough for him to be arrested by the Qin army for a few days, Zhao Kuo! O misguided man! Hahaha! God bless me, God bless me! Before he could finish speaking, a mouthful of blood spat out.
The ministers were in a mess, and lifted King Zhao and walked quickly to the harem. In the royal court, the ministers were all dumbfounded.
However, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was still a little calm, he stood in front and looked at everyone. "As soon as Changping is broken, the capital is in no danger to defend. At present, there is no army mobilization in the city, but the Zhao people can be killed and unyielding, while the Qin soldiers have not arrived, you still need to do your last thing to protect your family and the people! He raised his voice. Listen up, courtiers! From today on, General Lian Po will lead all the soldiers and horses, domestic slaves and all the men in the city, and then urgently transfer all the military forces of Zhao State to defend Handan City. The ministers should live and die with the city, and those who leave their posts in private will not be forgiven! Tomorrow, the people can be notified that all women, children, the old and the weak can leave the city first, and leave a residual pulse for the Zhao people! β
Lian Po stepped forward and shouted: "Order!" He turned to the crowd. The Qin army will approach Handan in a few days, and the general is willing to defend the capital with all his ministers. The king of the plains has surrendered his life, and those who leave their guards without permission will be killed! Now, please return to your respective posts according to the order of the Plains Monarch and inform the people of the city! β
The ministers walked out of the royal court in panic.
Lian Po discussed some military affairs with Pingyuanjun and returned to the barracks, and sent people from all walks of life overnight to spread the military situation and transfer the available soldiers. Then, he looked at Handan City on the sand table and stayed awake all night. He was worried about the 400,000 captives of the Zhao army, most of whom were his own men. They have followed him for many years, fought in the north and south, and fought against the Qin army for three years, they are all brave generals, but how can they be defeated by Bai Qi in one day! Zhao Kuo! If you don't listen to your own advice, you must be brave enough to have this catastrophe! Bai Qi is fierce and cruel, and he will not let go of these armor soldiers. He was worried about the life and death of these 400,000 soldiers, perhaps at this time, they were being treated inhumanely, and now the capital was about to face a catastrophe!
As soon as the morning dawned, Lian Po got up and rushed to the royal court, King Zhao didn't know if he was fine, he still had some affairs to ask for!
King Zhao sat there with his body propped up, and the ministers were all expressionless and did not say a word.
King Zhao saw that no one was visiting, and he knew that the general trend had gone, and he thought about his own future. He looked at everyone weakly, and regretted it in his heart. "It's all because the king didn't listen to your advice and changed generals in battle, so he ended up in such a situation. The blame should be on this king, and now that the army has been defeated so far, this king should apologize to the people alone, and not implicate you, you don't have to die! This king no longer blames, just leave if you want! It also left a foundation for Zhao Guo, and he will revitalize the country one day! β
"The king, alas!" Lian Po gave his hand upward. "Although Qin is victorious for a while, how can he succumb to the world with his brutal punishment and harsh law. My Zhao country has always been kind to the people, and has repeatedly rejected the Hu people, but it is actually for the descendants of Yan and Huang, and it has been supported by the people of the whole country. The king is admired by the world, if he succumbs without a fight now, he will be laughed at by the heavens, and the people of Zhao will be disappointed in the royal court. Defeat is shameless, submission has no future! The king thinks twice. β
"Yes! The general has a point. Pingyuanjun also said.
"But... Alas! What does this king use to defend against the Qin soldiers! King Zhao sighed. Zhao has no more soldiers to send! β
"King! Weichen has informed the cities of Zhao State, and quickly gathered all the soldiers and men to rush to the capital! "Lian Po played." The minister swears to fight the Qin soldiers to the end! β
"King! It can't be like that. The nations have fallen, and the kings can also save their lives, if they fight to the death and strengthen Qin, I am afraid that they will provoke the white rising, and when they attack, they will not slaughter the city and kill them, the misfortune of the king, the misfortune of the people! The old envoy burst into tears. If God does not bless me, why should I make my lives miserable and my blood flow like a river! β
"yes!" Xiangguo is also moving forward. "Qin annihilated the Chu army, and then made Wei and Han surrender, and Qi destroyed itself, leaving only Zhao and Yan, and Yan was powerless to resist the enemy. He went one step further. "King! At present, you should surrender as soon as possible to protect the blood of the 400,000 Zhao people, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood! β
"Thisβ" King Zhao hesitated.
There was an argument in the royal court.
The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and an army of detectives ran into the royal court, until King Zhao came to him, knelt down and reported loudly: "King Qiqi!" The Qin army killed 400,000 of my soldiers, and General Zhao Kuo died on the battlefield! β
"Ahh When King Zhao heard the news, his face was shocked. "There is no way down here!"
Xiangguo and the imperial envoy also retreated to the court, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
The courtiers were in a state of indignation.
"Fight! War! "King Zhao fingers Pingyuanjun." As you say, the whole country should fight! After saying that, he was about to get up, but he spat out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, outside Changping City, Qin soldiers were burying the corpse of Zhao Jun. Expressionlessly, they dragged a headless body with a long hook and threw it into the pit, then kicked the scattered and bleeding heads into the pit. In the distance, a team of Qin troops was burying the Zhao army alive in the deep pit, wailing and screaming, making people tremble.
Bai Qi stood on the city wall, helplessly watching everything. His heart was also cramping, this was not his intention, but everyone knew that it was he who gave the order to bury the 400,000 Zhao prisoners alive.
Before the war, Bai Qi had a chance of winning, he saw Zhao Kuo's rash advance, and predicted that this general who did not know the height of the sky would allow him to achieve the greatest results without paying more soldiers' lives. On the one hand, he was happy, but he also had some troubles, happy that this was the last big battle to dominate the world, and he was worried about how to deal with the Zhao army who was about to be captured. After Bai Qi killed 200,000 Chu troops, he encountered a series of strange things. He seldom slept soundly, only by the power of wine, but almost woke up in a nightmare. Zhang Yi and Le Yi's reminders made him realize a lot, it must be Mr.'s instructions, and he was a little confused. Since studying with Mr. Guigu, I have heard and seen it, and I have taken the unification of the world that Mr. thinks of as my goal. My own idea is very simple, it is not enough to defeat the armies of the nations with a strong army, and it will be one! But why is there so much going on? He watched Gongsun Ying's death after his lifelong efforts, and also caught up with Sun Bin and Pang Juan's righteousness under the overall situation, and even witnessed Su Qin's tragic last life. He didn't want to be like this, he wanted to live like Zhang Yi and Le Yi, and live a more dignified life, he thought of being the king. These years of royal court struggles have made me understand that what this king and that king are all nonsense, as long as there are soldiers, he is a great king and a king of the world.
He thought of the 400,000 captured Zhao troops, and if he turned them into his subordinates, he would have the most powerful army in the world. He smiled, this is the best time, as long as he calls out, and then invites Mr. Guigu and all the senior brothers, the world will not be unified.
He recruited all the generals, ordered them to treat the soldiers of the Zhao army well, and arranged for his cronies to invite the generals of the Zhao army to the big tent for a meal.
Bai fell asleep, the sweetest sleep in months. He concluded that when he woke up tomorrow, there would be new changes in the world, and he would have a new journey. But when he woke up, there were already the crown prince An Guojun and the generals standing outside the tent, and what he didn't expect was Lu Buwei.
He hurriedly invited the prince and others to the Chinese army.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, why didn't you inform General Ben?" Bai Qi glared at the deacon.
An Guojun hurriedly smiled and said: "The general is forgiven!" His Highness didn't let him disturb the general! He turned to the generals. The general has been in military affairs for several months, and he has done his best, and now the battle situation is a little settled, so he can sleep well, although His Royal Highness has the king's urgent edict, he can't bear to disturb the general. The general is a world-famous meritorious service for the Qin State, and His Royal Highness is only a general who keeps peace for two moments! β
"Your Highness has an urgent edict from the king?" Bai Qi looked at An Guojun. "How can you delay the king's order, please ask His Highness to signal!"
"Hahaha!" An Guojun laughed. "If it is the style of a general, thunderbolt is popular!" He turned to LΓΌ Buwei. "Let's let Lord Lu, your junior brother learn the joy of the king!"
"Yes! Your Highness. Lu Buwei saluted An Guojun, turned to Bai Qi, bowed deeply, and smiled. LΓΌ Buwei has seen the general! β
Bai Qi hurriedly got up, stepped off the handsome chair, and pulled Lu Buwei to the side. "Why should you be polite! I have long heard that my junior brother is developed, and my senior brother is happy for you, and I complain in my heart that you have never come to meet me, and I don't want to come today for An Guojun's internal envoy, no matter what! You and I are brothers, be honored guests! β
"Let's just say that the general is a loving and righteous person!" An Guojun laughed. "When you come, all the worries of Lord Lu can be dispersed!"
"Oh? Why are the junior brothers still worried! Why worry? Bai Qi also laughed.
"Alas! Asking for trouble. Lu Buwei also smiled. It's not those who love to say to me, saying that the general's miraculous achievements are world-famous, and there will be no one in his eyes, let alone my nameless junior brother! He turned to An Guojun. It seems that we are not as good as the king to see people thoroughly, the king said to the hundred officials, don't look at Bai Qi unwilling to move around with people, it seems arrogant, the real general is benevolent and righteous in his heart, but because the king is honest with him, let him take on the responsibility of dominating the world, the general will bravely shoulder the heavy burden for love and righteousness, think about the war day and night, and dare not have the joy of ordinary people. He turned to Bai Qi again. The general doesn't know anything! After hearing that the general had captured 400,000 Zhao troops, the king led the civil and military ministers to face the east above the royal court, raised a glass and shouted the name of the general, and received three cups. The king said with tears in his eyes, the world has been in turmoil for hundreds of years, only the talent of the great general can be unified, Qin Zhiqiang is inseparable from the general, and the glory of the Win family is pushed by the general. The king blurted out that the general Wu'an should be the king of Wu'an, if the general is unwilling and feels that the official position is small, he will be the king, and the king is willing to be second! Haha, this is what the king said in person! The crowd no longer dared to say anything else. β
When Bai Qi listened to Lu Buwei's speech, his heart was full of enthusiasm, and after listening to it, he was a little ashamed. When LΓΌ Buwei said that the king of Qin was secondary, he rushed into his head with passion, left his seat and knelt on the ground, facing the generals.
An Guojun, Lu Buwei hurriedly got up to help. Bai Qi parted them with his hands and looked at the generals. "Bai Qi trusts the king and hands over the elite generals of the Qin State to me, so I have this merit, how can I be greedy for merit, let alone dare to surpass the king. Today's king's reward has made Bai Qi grateful for his kindness, and the generals must remember that Bai Qi was born as the king's general and died as the ghost of the Qin Gang! He drew his sword and threw it at the ground. Bai Qi and the others will have two minds, and they will be killed by this sword! β
The generals also clasped their fists and shouted: "Together with the general, swear to serve the king to the death!" β
An Guojun glanced at Lu Buwei, saw that he nodded slightly, smiled, hurriedly helped Bai Qi up, and shouted to the generals: "The king's mouth, all the generals are first-class, and the fief will be rewarded!" β
"Thank you, Lord for the reward!" The Chinese army's big tent was full of thanksgiving, followed by a sound of celebration.
Sending the generals away, An Guojun retreated left and right, looking at Bai Qi. "How does the general deal with 400,000 Zhao prisoners!"
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, and then sighed. "Since killing 200,000 Chu prisoners in Chu Pit, Bai Qi is also sincerely afraid in his heart, and often wakes up in his dreams, knowing that the killing is too heavy. After capturing the Zhao army today, he wants to make the surrendered people serve in the army, and I hope that the returnees should be repatriated to the countryside, and they can be regarded as worthy of the king from the top, worthy of the soldiers of the Zhao State, and worthy of the advice of people who know each other! He glanced at An Guojun. His Highness asked about this, and I don't know if there is a visible teaching? β
An Guojun smiled. "General, this is not what it used to be! In the past, when the Chu prisoners were killed, there were still many countries in the Central Plains who paid attention to how our Qin army treated the defeated soldiers in order to beg for a way to survive, so it was a wrong thing to behead and kill. Today is different, all the countries have succumbed, but the soldiers of Zhao Land swear to fight to the death, the general can let it go today, and he needs to kill and wound the Qin people and kill them in the future. The general doesn't want to have extra soldiers, the armor has become the most in the country, does the general really have more grain and grass to support the Zhao prisoners? β
"This!" Bai Qi hesitated for a moment and looked up at An Guojun again. "What does the king mean?"
An Guojun nodded.
"Is there an edict?"
An Guojun shook his head. "Does the Great General still doubt His Highness's loyalty?"
"That's 400,000 people!" Bai Qi got up and paced inside the Chinese army. "The world has been decided, and they will also be the people of my Great Qin, in this way, won't I, Bai Chao, become an unforgivable criminal!" He stopped and looked at An Guojun. "I want to meet the king, and we will discuss this matter again!" After speaking, he walked out of the big tent.
An Guojun sneered, looked at Bai Qi's distant back, and gritted his teeth.
Bai Qi walked around, and his heart calmed down a little. He knew that An Guojun didn't dare to falsely pass on the holy teachings, but he didn't accept him. Fight by yourself, and ask him to point fingers and sit back and enjoy his achievements. In addition, if he kills these 400,000 prisoners again, he really can't do it. From ancient times to the present, there have been countless battles, and no general has ever killed so many prisoners, and only 200,000 Chu prisoners have become the largest in ancient and modern times. King Qin's order is not just a matter of food and rebellion, this is to make him have no way out! He thought of self-reliance, but when he thought of the Chinese army's big account of his oath, he still let go of his thoughts.
He looked at the sand table in the big tent of the Chinese army, his eyes in a daze.
The contender quietly walked in and said softly: "General, Lord Lu asks to see!" β
Bai Qi glared. "Nope!" He knew that LΓΌ Buwei was working for An Guojun.
"Senior brother, I can't see you, my junior brother is here too!" With a burst of laughter, LΓΌ Buwei had already walked into the big tent and came to his side. "Senior brother is affectionate, is the junior brother unrighteous! I'm afraid that if you are a person in the senior brother's bureau, it will be difficult to wake up! β
Bai was startled, got up hurriedly, and gave a courtesy salute. "If the junior brother is plain, the senior brother should be affectionate, but it's a pity that when the army is on the agenda, I'm afraid it's all about it!"
"Bad!" Lu Buwei still smiled. "The place of life and death of Senior Brother Sun and Pang, sending each other's feelings of loyalty and righteousness, Senior Brother Su Qin and Senior Brother Le Yi, in order to achieve the great event of Qi and destroy Qi, sacrifice their lives to take righteousness in danger, Senior Brother Zhang Yi and Zou Ji, bravely retreat from the rapids and achieve a lifetime of fame, this is where the brotherhood of Mr. and Senior Brother lies. Senior brother, don't forget, as Mr. once said, we are also the head of the sheep and the head of the wolves in this troubled world, although there are times of mutual attack, there are also days of mutual benefit. β
"Then Senior Brother Lu is here, is it to benefit me or attack me?"
"Of course it's in your favor!" Lu Buwei wrenched his face. "There are no outsiders in the tent, so please invite me to take a drink!" Rushed to the front of the battle overnight, junior brother, I was tired! I didn't expect you to be so unrighteous. He grabbed a chair and sat down. Think about it when I was in Yunmeng Mountain, even though I bought some thin vegetables, I never sent you to drink! β
Bai Qi smiled. "You are so careful that you even use a ten-year-old account to calculate me."
"Is it the way of business?" LΓΌ Buwei burst out laughing. "Senior brother, have you ever remembered that Lu Pin once said that with such a senior brother, there is no reason why he will not be rich in the future!"
"But I didn't help my junior brother in vain!"
"Bad! Lu Pin is the senior brother of Dele Yi who gave him a strange book, and only then did he become rich in Zhao State. Now that I think about it, then King Zhao must be the enemy's general because Senior Brother Bai is the enemy, so he must know that he knows the other, and he can buy it at a large price, so how can the senior brother not thank the senior brother! β
"Haha! The junior brother sold the book passed down by the senior brothers to King Zhao, no wonder King Zhao sent Zhao Kuo as a general, in fact, he read the "Wenshi Zhenjing" that you and I both memorized. It seems that King Zhao intends to follow the avenue and be a virtuous and defeated king! Hahaha. Bai Qi laughed.
"If you want to say that you follow the avenue, you have to say King Yan." Lu Buwei said with a smile. "King Yan saw that the world was like this, and asked Senior Brother Le, how do you guess Senior Brother Le answered?"
"Oh? Did King Yan go to invite Senior Brother Le? He's not going to lead troops against me anymore, is he? Bai Qi suppressed his laughter and stared at Lu Buwei.
LΓΌ Buwei deliberately pretended to be absent-minded, but passed the information to Bai Qi. Seeing that he was already interested, he said solemnly: "Senior Brother Le is in Dongyu Village, Mr. is close at hand, and he deserves to be a gentleman." He said to King Yan that the stream will eventually return to the sea, and the world will be unified, so why bother to rebel against it. Even if there are strong people who are stubborn and rebellious, it is nothing more than a matter of time, and it is difficult to change the way of heaven. So the king of Yan no longer recruited soldiers to capture soldiers, but dismissed many soldiers and returned to his hometown to farm, while he waited for the Qin army to arrive, and then surrendered to the vassals. One is to protect the people of Yan from being ruined, and the other is to end up with the royal family. Do you think, is this kind of plan just the work of the senior brother? β
"In this way, there must be a gentleman's intention!"
"That's nature!" Lu Buwei nodded. "Senior brother, do you know what did Senior Brother Le tell me when he helped me escape from Zhao Kingdom?"
Bai raised his eyebrows. "When you are dedicated to the monarch of the country, he will become the king of the country in the future, and you will also be able to become an official!" Bai Qi was a little disdainful.
"It's bad!" LΓΌ Buwei slowed down his speech and lowered his voice. "Senior Brother Le told me that if I had the opportunity, I should persuade Senior Brother Bai to do two things. First, he is straightforward by nature, righteous and angry, and must not be arrogant or delusional. He has left his name in history, and he should be loyal and righteous to his children and grandchildren. Second, he doesn't know how to retreat bravely from the torrent, and he may not be able to end up in the future. You must know that once the son of heaven and a courtier, the merit is high, and the lord is so arrogant! How can the lord tolerate arrogant ministers, there is a senior brother Gongsun Martingale in front of him! β
"Thisβ" Bai Qi hesitated.
"Do you know why Senior Brother Zhang Yi took your eldest man to Yunmeng Mountain?"
"Did Senior Brother Le teach him?"
"It's bad!" Lu Buwei shook his head. "Although you have become the god of war of the nations, you have not learned the essence of Mr.
"Why? Is there still a detailed committee? β
"Of course, this gentleman's affection for your master and apprentice! Mr. is afraid that you will not be able to retreat in the future, and the family will be ruined, so he hinted that Senior Brother Le will take your eldest man away, and Mr. sighed countless times that the father of Zhu'er, the famous general Wu Qi! β
"Sir treats me like this, I am ashamed!" Bai Qi knelt down to Yunmeng Mountain, with tears in his eyes.
"Why should Senior Brother blame himself?" LΓΌ Buwei helped Bai Qi up. "Sir is satisfied with your merits, although there is a killing, but it is also involuntarily, think about it, which generation of Zhongliang does not bear the pain that ordinary people can bear, and the senior brother can call out?"
"According to what the senior brother said, the senior brother should obey An Guojun's orders?"
"The king died one day, who is the legend? Can it be passed on to a foreign surname? β
"Of course not! It must be the crown prince An Guojun. β
"An Guojun is the king of Qin, do you worship or not?"
"Worship!"
"So you should know what to do. You must let go of the suspicion of high merit and pride, otherwise, how can the senior brother reassure the family in the future! β
"But I'm afraid of killing those 400,000 Zhao prisoners!" Bai Qi frowned. "400,000!"
"Senior brother respectfully gives a word, tomorrow senior brother can give this order in the presence of An Guojun, and the imperial envoy will be brilliant!"
Bai Qi nodded helplessly. "Today, I don't pay attention to An Guojun! Will he..."
"Hey! You should know what to do. Lu Buwei laughed. He can't afford to offend you now, without your Wu Anjun's support, will he be able to inherit the throne smoothly in the future? As long as you have a pot of wine, a disrespectful voice, and me in the middle, you two can release their previous suspicions and become like-minded people! β
"Okay, just follow what my junior brother said!" The case was shot in vain.
