Chapter 390 [Cold Trembling]

Bai Qi walked in the barracks by moonlight, walking slowly between the tents, hoping to let the cold night breeze make him more sober.

The news that Wei De was captured by Zhao Junsheng came from the Zhao army fortress, and this news made Bai Qi nervous for a while, because with Wei De's capture, the Qin army had not received food and grass supplies from China for nearly half a month.

Turning the tent, there was a dazzling fire in front of them, and the blacksmiths in the army were mending their weapons and armor, the furnace was blazing white, and the hammers fell rhythmically together, and there was a thumping sound, and the blacksmiths were naked in front of the furnace, and their chests and backs were covered with beads of sweat.

When the blacksmiths saw Bai rising, they did not stop to say hello, but still vigorously pounded the red-hot weapon, one at a time or twice......

The sledgehammer fell from time to time, and the sparks flew in all directions, Zhao Kuo saw the fire in the furnace, and couldn't help but think of the war in Changping, this battlefield was like the blazing flame, and Qin and Zhao were almost moths fluttering around the flames.

Knowing what the fate of the moth into the fire is, but the war between Qin and Zhao is still going on, and now, it is no longer the fire that determines life and death, but how long the two moths of Qin and Zhao can fly, and who is the first moth to enter the fire and bury themselves.

Sima Terrier didn't know when he walked to Bai Qi's side, and watched with Bai Qi as the blacksmiths built and repaired equipment, and the repaired weapons and arrows were thrown into a large basket, slowly piling up higher and higher.

"The military rations are enough for a few days." Bai Qi broke the peace between him and Sima Terrier and asked about the most urgent question at the moment.

Sima Terrier didn't hesitate and said: "It's enough for about ten days' dosage, if you save some food, there should be no problem within half a month." ”

Bai Qi sighed and said: "It has been more than half a month since there has been any military rations, and it seems that Zhao Kuo's tactics have played a role and created a lot of trouble for our army." ”

Sima Terrier smiled bitterly and said: "With Zhao Kuo's talent, attacking our army's grain route, our army wants to fight back, but it is really a tiger swallowing the sky, and there is no way to say it." ”

Bai Qi took a deep breath and said, "We can't go on like this, the king's messenger has just left, and the king intends to come to Hanoi in person, once we know that our army is in this situation, how can we explain to the king." ”

Sima Terrier was stunned and said, "The king came to Hanoi in person. How can this make it, how can the king of all vehicles leave the capital without permission? ”

"The king hasn't made a final decision yet, maybe he has to look at the latest progress of our army to be sure. Once the current situation is known to the king, it is difficult to ensure that the king will not come to Hanoi in person. Bai Qi seemed to have made a major decision, gritted his teeth, and said, "So we must solve the problem of the grain road in the shortest possible time, and we must not delay it." ”

Sima Terrier understands that it is one thing to have confidence, but the current situation is too difficult to be optimistic, "With Zhao Kuo leading the elite Zhao army to make trouble in the rear of our army, I am afraid that it will not be easy to solve the problem of grain and grass." ”

Bai Qi smiled and said, "Who said that we must transport grain from the rear, didn't Lian Po build a big granary in Elk Mountain." We'll use it for ourselves. ”

Sima Terrier said with a sigh: "The Zhao army has a heavy army stationed near Elk Mountain, once our army robs the Elk Mountain granary, I am afraid that the decisive battle between Qin and Zhao will be advanced, and our army does not have an advantage now, I am afraid of ......"

"How many troops do we have. What is the approximate strength of the Zhao army. Bai Qi asked as if he hadn't heard Sima Terrier's words.

Sima Terrier thought for a moment and said, "Our army has about 370,000 infantry and 15,000 cavalry, and the situation of the Zhao army should be similar to that of our army, which should be about 400,000 people." ”

"I'm afraid this is a war like never before. The Qin State cannot afford to lose such a war, and the same is true for the Zhao State, in order to achieve victory, it should be worth sacrificing the 200,000 good men of the Qin State. Bai Qi's tone couldn't help but be a little solemn. Let's watch the first release of the literary network, please support genuine reading, support the author's creation, your one light click, warm my whole code word life. ”

Sima Terrier didn't know what Bai Qi was thinking at all, but he could hear it clearly at the sacrifice of 200,000 Qin troops, which made him shudder.

Far away in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, the same moonlit night, different people, but this person is as full of worries as Bai Qi, that is King Qin Yingji.

The news that the Qin army's grain route was blocked had reached Xianyang at this time, and of course only a very small number of people knew about this news, because there were many spies from various countries in Xianyang City, and there were also envoys on the bright side who were active, so Yingji was trying his best to block the news.

When he learned that Wei De had been captured, Ying Ji had the idea of going to Hanoi in person, and he understood the importance of the Battle of Changping to the Qin State better than Bai Qi, and going to Hanoi as the monarch would be of great help to the Battle of Changping.

Fan Ju was summoned to the palace late at night, and after learning about Ying Ji's idea, how would he agree. Persuaded: "The king, the king of ten thousand times should not easily take risks, and once the king comes to Hanoi in person, once it spreads, it may be suspected of fueling the arrogance of the five countries of Shandong, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the alliance of the five countries." ”

Ying Ji sighed and said: "Aiqing doesn't know Bai Qi's situation in Changping, Zhao Guolu Lingjun Zhao Kuo cut off the grain road in the rear of our army, and the grain and rice in Bai Qi's army are afraid that it will not be enough for half a month." ”

Fan Ju said with a smile: "The king's words are wrong. There is no food in the Bai Qi army, does the Zhao army have food and grass? According to the information sent back by the Handan spies, the Zhao army only has some grain in the Elk Mountain granary, which can probably be used for about half a month, so it seems that both Qin and Zhao can't afford to drag it out, and the Changping War is imminent, how can the king leave the capital without permission. ”

Ying Ji said: "It is precisely because the Changping War is imminent that the widow must go." When the widow arrives in Hanoi, there are three benefits: first, the widow can personally supervise the grain and grass to ensure that the grain is foolproof, second, the widow can recruit all the men over the age of 15 in Hanoi to fill the army, and third, when the widow arrives in Hanoi, the morale of the front-line soldiers will be high. ”

Fan Ju said: "King, in fact, Weichen still has a way to ensure the victory of our army in Changping, and there is no need to kill or wound a single soldier of our army. ”

Seeing that Fan Ju said so mysteriously, Ying Ji was curious: "Does Aiqing really have such a good plan?" Don't hurry up yet. ”

Fan Ju said with a smile: "King, the victory or defeat of the Battle of Changping does not have to be separated on the battlefield, as long as Weichen uses a little trick, it will definitely make the Changping Zhao army never turn over." ”

Fan Ju said with confidence, thinking that hundreds of thousands of soldiers worked in vain to no avail, and he only had to make small moves to make Zhao Jun doomed, this comparison made him feel excited.
