The colorful banner stands on the top of Ao Mountain, and the north wind on the side of the mountain is endless, not only blowing the flag of the Chu army's hunting, but also blowing all the fireworks raised when the square cang is burned to the south of the Great Wall. The Great Wall was finally captured, but the Chu army calmly retreated to the north of the grain canal, intending to let the enemy's corpses once again be annihilated in the grain canal.

"General......" shouted with exhaustion, and the generals were no longer surrounded by Yang Duanhe, but Li Xin.

"General, our army has run out of arrows, there is almost no food and grass, and we are no longer able to fight." The young Feng Zheng's face was dark, his lips were chapped, and he was complaining to Li Xin about his bitterness, his eyes were gloomy like a hairy Lu Li.

"General, you may be able to take advantage of the night to strike again in the west." The equally young Wang Ben was unwilling to accept the defeat of the last time.

Previously, the Chu army deliberately did not build a wall or pull barbed wire on the west side, just to lure the Qin army into the bait. When the Qin army attacked this five-mile-wide 'gap' along the Great Wall from the west side, the right flank of the Chu army, which landed from the big river, suddenly slammed into the back of the Qin army's array.

"The Jingren Boat Division is fierce, and the west side cannot be attacked again." Wang Jian sighed. "The last general also asked the general to beware of Jing people attacking my tiger prison."

"Report ——!" Under the city, the one who rode a horse was not a scout, but a chariot. Li Xin hurriedly tidied up his armor and walked down the city.

"The king has a message, ask the general when he can take Aocang?" The temple man in the car did not get out of the car, he represented Zhao Zheng.

"Tell the king's envoy that the Jing people have burned the square warehouse, and the Ao warehouse is full of grain." Li Xin sighed heavily, his luck was much better than Yang Duanhe, who had been reduced to a commoner, the day after he took over, the Chu army had finished transporting the grain, and now they were dismantling the crane on the dock.

"Oh?" In the eyes of the temple people, the attack on Aocang was to prevent the Chu army from transporting grain, and he did not know that if Aocang was not taken, the Qin army would not be able to go east to rescue Daliang. "Really?"

"That's true." Li Xin sidestepped away, "The king's envoy, please look at the fireworks in Fang Cang." ”

Standing on the flat ground, you can only see the ten-mile Great Wall that was annihilated by the corpses, what is in the north of the Great Wall, you can't see it at all, but the smoke rising when hundreds of square warehouses are burning in the south of the city can still be seen, and the temple people look up and see, the Great Wall is full of smoke columns.

"General's intentions......" the temple man nodded.

"The king's envoy, the last general thinks that the Jing people will withdraw within three days, and then attack Aocang, but it will only increase casualties." Li Xindao. "Now we should leave 100,000 troops to garrison the Great Wall to contain and protect our army's grain routes, and the rest of the army will rush to Daliang." Speaking of the grain road, Li Xin had to ask again: "The last general asked the king to tell the king, the arrows of the army have been exhausted, and the grain and straw in the army are only five days, please increase the grain and straw in the army, otherwise, the army will be chaotic." ”

The attack on Aocang suffered heavy casualties, but reinforcements from all over the country continued, and the number of Qin soldiers and soldiers continued to increase, and now it has reached 500,000. Because most of the land transportation, there are more than 100,000 or 200,000 servants and subordinates who transport grain. 700,000 people consumed 60,000 or 70,000 stone of corn a day, and 2,800 wagons had to arrive every day. It's not that Qin Jun doesn't have such food, but he doesn't have so many carriages.

Yang Duanhe mentioned the grain problem every time, and Li Xin also mentioned it as soon as he met, so the Wang envoy could only make a promise first, and go back to Luoyang to tell Zhao Zheng to solve it. The interrogation ended quickly, and the car in the north wind quickly turned around the dock and hurried towards Luoyang. It's just that before the car arrived, the bad news had already reached the Luoyang Palace.

"If the king doesn't save Yan again, the Yan country will die!" Yan Dan, who had tears in his eyes, was defeated against Zhao Zhengda. Yesterday, Yandu sent a messenger to Luoyang, urgently informing Li Mu that he led the Zhao army to break through Juyongsai and had entered the Jicheng Plain. The messenger for help bypassed the northern end of the Zhao Realm and came from the grassland and Hetao. This road will take more than 20 days, maybe the Yan Kingdom has died.

"Zi Zhu, why is this." Yan has always been an ally of Qin and an assistant to contain Zhao. The state of Qin would never allow the loss of such an ally. Zhao Zheng got up and took the case to pick up Yan Dan. "After taking Aocang and rescuing Daliang, the widow ordered the army to save Yan."

"The king's ......" Zhao Zhengyi comforted, and the choked Yan Dan finally cried loudly, he cried: "However, the king's army is all in Henan, and the Jingren Boat Division and the Jing Renzhou Division are ......, and they can't be saved, they can't be saved!" ”

Yan Dan's cry made Zhao Zheng stunned. Yes, the army is all in the south of the river, and the Jingren Boat Division is on the river, and it is not possible to go north to attack Zhao and save Yan. After another 500,000 troops were conscripted in the country, the manpower had been exhausted—the Qin officials, the vassals, and the common people who had been forced to pay for their crimes, these people were huge. If you really want to be reluctantly recruited, it will only add to the military exploits of the Zhao army.

"Jing Renzhou Master is evil!" Zhao Zheng said hatefully. The 800,000-strong army attacking Chu will fall into this situation, all because of the Chu army's boat division. Relying on the war boat, the Chu army attacked wherever it wanted, and did not go head-to-head with the Qin army at all, and every time it hit the node of the war machine of the Qin army. This was true of the Battle of the Chasm, and so was the Battle of Aocang.

"To the king," the military official who hurriedly came in first paused, and then said, "The Jing people have pulled out the beams." ”

"Ahh Zhao Zheng's color changed, and he let go of the crying Yan Dan and stared at the military officer: "Is it true?" ”

"Yes, yes." The soldier's face was full of dust, "This villain saw it with his own eyes, Lian Po hung the flag in the north city of Daliang, saying yes, saying yes, saying yes ......"

"How?" Yan Guo is still separated from Zhao Guo, but the beam is in front of him, and the blue tendons on Zhao Zheng's forehead are already stretched.

"The Wei people said that it was the king of Xinling who made Wei dedicate the city." The news of the military officials is not exact, but at least scratches the surface.

"Xinling-kun?! How is King Wei? How is the Intramural City? Zhao Zheng asked again, what he was most worried about was the king of Wei descending to Chu.

"The villain doesn't know." The military officials couldn't answer Zhao Zheng's question, so they had to retreat, and then Yan Dan, who couldn't stop his tears, retreated.

"Great King, it doesn't matter how the King of Wei is, since the King of Xinling has made the Wei generals sacrifice the city, the Wei State will definitely join forces." The veteran gradually withered, and the Marquis of Wenxin, who left Xianyang without authorization, was given death after being driven out of Xianyang, and died first by himself. Among the ministers, only the imperial historian Feng Qujian was the oldest, and he was also the most familiar with the war.

"What does Feng Qing think the widow should do?" Zhao Zheng restrained the irritability in his heart, he knew that this was the time to humbly accept advice.

"The minister thinks that if General Meng retreats from Jing State to Dasong County of Wei State according to the pre-war strategy, our army should stop the war." Feng went to the fast road, there was only his voice in the Ming Hall, and the prime ministers on the left and right were silent.

"Is it possible to attack the beam?" Zhao Zheng spit out these words after being silent, but he was still unwilling to fail.

"No." Feng Qu shook his head and said. "The western attack on the beam has the protection of the Great Wall, and there is the resistance of Chi Ze, our army has attacked several times but can't, and now Jing Wei is in the column, how can it be down? The big river is not sealed, the Jingren Boat Division can hit Hangu far away, Luoyang can hit Luoyang, and it can hit Tiger Prison closely, where does our army's grain road exist? And if the river is frozen, the Yan country will die at that time. ”

Feng Quji is the son of Feng Ting, the former county guard of Shangdang County. Zhao Guo got the party to crown Feng Ting as Huayang Jun, but after losing 450,000 Zhao troops in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guojun and his ministers all complained about Feng Ting, completely forgetting their own joy when Feng Ting offered the party. After Feng Ting's death, the fief was recovered by the Zhao State, and the descendants had to enter Qin as ministers and generals. Feng Quji, who has such a background, believes it, so Zhao Zheng can still listen to his words.

"The defeat of our army is the defeat of the Jing Renzhou Division." Feng Quji continued, "The Jingren Boat Division can travel four or five hundred miles a day, and our army is caught off guard. Therefore, the Jing people won more and less in every battle, attacking the place of my henchmen. If our army is fortified everywhere, its strength will be thin; Our army gathers its troops in one place, and it does not fight with us. In the past, Qi people were afraid of tigers, all because of this.

Jing people have the disease of the war boat, the strength of the spear array, the advantage of the treasure knife, and the solidity of the armor. And our army has been defeated in successive battles, the five countries of Kwantung will inevitably despise me, once they despise me, they will join the vertical, once they join the vertical, all the countries respect King Jing as the commander, the coalition army will make the spear array, and the Qin army will not go east. ”

After Feng Qujian finished speaking, the unwillingness and anger in Zhao Zheng's heart disappeared, and was replaced by a fluster. He got up and said to Feng Qu, "Please Feng Qing teach the widow." ”

"I don't dare." Feng Quji was not proud of Zhao Zheng's politeness, he avoided Zhao Zheng's favor, and said: "The minister thinks that there are three strategies, and the first policy is to respect Jing Ye." ”

"Venerable Jing?" Rao is Zhao Zheng is mentally prepared to accept advice, but he still can't stand the strategy of respecting Jing.

"Yes, yes." Feng went to the fast road. "Jing people's nature, show but not believe, love but not benevolence, deceit but not wisdom, perseverance but not bravery, straight but not loyal, Zhou but not Shu, like a monkey in the mountains. Monkeys are not human, even if they are well-dressed, they are not convinced. Great Qin is the hegemon of the world, if you humble and respect the Jing people, you can grow the arrogance of the Jing people. The Jing people are arrogant, and the combination will inevitably fail, and if the unity does not follow, the Great Qin can be divided and destroyed. ”

"May I ask Feng Qing the second strategy." It's hard to accept, but it's a feasible solution.

"The second strategy is to kill Zhao, save Yan, save Han, bribe Qi, and Jian Jing Wei." Feng Qujian said again. "The country of Yan cannot be lost, and the country of Zhao is no longer strong, so it is necessary to cut down Zhao; South Korea is obedient, and whether it is extinguished or not destroyed is not hindered by the overall situation, and it is not destroyed, showing that my Great Qin is harmless. If Qin is harmless, the countries will forget their past enmity and have delusions, and take Qin as their friend; The king of Qi has always been cowardly, and bribing his close ministers can prevent him from conniving; Wei was the overlord of the past, and he was never willing to submit to the Jing people, and now the Jing people have pulled out the beams and refused to accept it, so they should be separated.

King Huiwen reused Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, and even those who broke the vertical and horizontal also. Although Jing is reinstated, the army that Jing can fight is only more than 200,000, and the people of the whole country are less than 500,000 households, and there are few people; However, if it is combined, there are many people. Therefore, it is said; The victory or defeat is not in the battlefield, but in the temple, and the weight of the temple is no longer humble, but in the combination or failure. ”

"May I ask Feng Qing's third strategy?" Zhao Zheng asked again, he was no longer thinking about Ao Cang and Daliang at this time, but about the countries of the world.

"The ministers heard that in the past, the Zhou people repeatedly attacked Xu Fang, but they were not victorious, and King Mu was also invincible. The Xu people are arrogant and claim to be kings, practice benevolence and righteousness, and land and court the thirty-six countries. King Mu suffered, and the country of Chaxi Ji asked to see him, and he said that he had a strategy to break Xu, so he traveled to the west, and met the queen mother and got eight horses. After returning to the summer, King Mu rode the horse of eight horses, made the father Yuzhi, galloped thousands of miles a day, broke the Xu people, and killed his king. ”

Feng Quji's words were like a myth, but the king knew the mystery of it, and Zhao Zheng's pupils contracted when he remembered some things, and he thought about it: "The country of the extreme west? ”

"Yes, yes." Feng Quji knew that Zhao Zheng could comprehend the meaning of his words. "Is there really anyone in the world who knows it? None. The restoration of the Jing State is like the Zhao people riding and shooting, all because of the country of the extreme west. Therefore, the minister asked the king to send an envoy to the west, so as to obtain eight horses. ”
