To destroy the Zhao army is to destroy the Zhao state, and Wang Jian is well aware of the truth of 'attacking the land alone and attacking the people'. Therefore, although the Zhao army was defeated, he still strictly ordered the Qin army to pursue, and only the pursuit could eliminate the Zhao army as much as possible and reduce the resistance to destroy Zhao in the future. Moreover, once the Zhao army loses its battleable pawn, it is likely that the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi, and Wei will no longer save each other, and the Zhao state will no longer have the value of saving.

"Tell the king quickly, our army has defeated the Zhao army." After giving the order, Wang Jian said to the escort Zhao Zi.

Zhao Zi used to be Mengwu's protector, and now he is Wang Jian's protector, he saw that Wang Jian was so anxious, and said: "Our army did not count the head, so it was so hasty to tell the king......"

Zhao Zi felt that it was inappropriate to be in such a hurry, but Wang Jian said: "The Zhao Kingdom is about to die, and the Three Kingdoms will either save it or not, and this matter must be reported to the king quickly." ”

"Yes." Wang Jian was not thinking about the military, but the situation of the world after the defeat of the Zhao army, which was of course the scope of Zhao Zheng's consideration. After he finished speaking, Lu Lijing in his hand looked at the battlefield not covered with corpses, but the flying station in the distance of the battlefield. He had sent Qin cavalry to attack the Feixun station, but he believed that Linzi, Daliang, and Yingdu would all receive the news of the defeat of the Zhao army today, and the Three Kingdoms would send troops?

"Uncle Xiang, the Zhao army fought today, was defeated, and was defeated...... "Yingdu Dasima Mansion, the flying news reached Xiang Yan at the fastest speed. He felt his ears buzz for a moment, and then he was confused. Isn't Zhao Jun holding on to Fanwu, why did he go out and be defeated?

"What do you mean?" After breathing calmly, Xiang Yan looked at the flying officer, and asked people to report to Zhu Ao quickly.

"Somehow, the Zhao army suddenly went into battle today, was defeated, and the general Yan Ju died in battle." A quarter of an hour later, the text was read again, and this time it was not only Xiang Yan who listened, but also Zhu Ao and the various ministries and departments of the Great Sima Mansion.

"Why did Zhao Jun fight?" Everyone is dignified, and the cunning is an indescribable atmosphere. "Fanwu Chengjian, why didn't the Zhao army stick to the city and go out of the city to fight with the Qin people?"

No one spoke, and after being quiet for a while, I coughed and said, "I heard that Jianxin Jun entered Qin to seek peace and did not return, so this is the reason." ”

"If it's a peace, why fight?" Nao asked again. Zhao has had a lot of major events in the past month, first Jianxin Jun Tongqin, then the death of Chunping Hou, then Li Mu was assassinated, and now he is defeated again. The situation in the world has changed dramatically.

"That is, for the sake of peace, we should promote peace by war." Don't let me go, he said again when everyone nodded slowly: "Just like Changping." ”

In the Battle of Changping, Lian Po retreated, but King Zhao Xiaocheng ordered Zhao Kuo to replace him, and then attacked and was surrounded. Zhao Xiaocheng became the king and changed generals, not the Zhao State that was widely misunderstood in later generations was short of food. The Zhao army and the Qin army only confronted each other in Changping for several months, not like the Qin army fought for three consecutive years, and the attack was not due to lack of food (Zhao borrowed grain from Qi and Qi did not listen, it happened in the sixth year of the construction of Qi Wangjian, the battle of Changping ended, and the battle of Handan began), but to promote peace with war, when Zhao envoy Zheng Zhu was negotiating peace with Qin in Xianyang.

Now according to the intelligence, Jianxinjun is also in Xianyang and Qin State to negotiate peace, the Zhao army that originally could not hold out suddenly went to war, when the situation is similar to the Changping War: Zhao State wanted to defeat the Qin army again, to promote peace with war, but did not expect to be defeated by Wang Jian.

"What should I do?" Nao nodded and asked, this is also a question that Zhu Ao thinks about at the same time.

"If the Zhao army is defeated and not killed...... Li was a little worried, the defeat of the Zhao army was like a thunderbolt, and it slammed into his head.

"The Qin army is beheaded every time it wins, and the Zhao army is defeated, it will be defeated, how can it gather and fight again?" Seisuke interjected. Although there was no more specific battle report, he had the worst intentions for Zhao Jun. "I thought that the battle of Jiuying should be advanced."

"The king has not returned, how to advance?" Xiang Yan wanted to save Zhao, if Zhao Guo didn't save him, he would really die.

"If the king does not return, he must advance it." Seisuke said loudly. "At this time, the millions of Qin troops are still in the Zhao State, and the Zhao State may be dead next month. The Qin army returned to Nanjun and Xianyang, which was very disadvantageous to me. ”

"The 300,000 Zhao army was defeated in Fanwu, and there is no one to fight in the country, and if you don't save Zhao and Zhao, you will die." Xiang Yan said urgently. It's a pity that he is only the Yin of the Great Sima Mansion, not the Great Ao of the Chu State, and I don't know Zhu Ao's decision.

"Attacking Qin is to save Zhao." Cheng Jiedao. "If I attack Qin, the Qin army will return to help......"

"How can attacking Qin save Zhao?" Xiang Yan simply stood up. In the past, he agreed to restore Ying, that was because Li Mu held the Jingcheng Fortress, once he attacked Qin, Qin's attack on Zhao became smaller, maybe Zhao survived, now Li Mu is dead, the Zhao army is defeated, unless the Chu army attacks Lantian, otherwise the Qin army will never withdraw from Zhao.

"Attacking Qin and saving Zhao are all in Zhuao, not in the Great Sima Mansion!" Xiang Yan stood up, and Cheng Jie also stood up; Xiang Yan was excited, and Cheng Jie was even more excited. The two looked at each other suddenly, their eyes intertwined as if they were about to crash into a spark.

"You want to kill Zhao for Ruo Ao's own selfishness?" Xiang Yan no longer hid her thoughts, and directly attacked Cheng Jie's selfishness.

"Fart! What is Ruo's selfishness? The battle of Fuying was only for the state of Chu. And why did you save Zhao? Isn't it for the benefit of your Xiang family? Cheng Jie drew his sword in anger, pointed at Xiang Yan and shouted: "If you dare to insult each other, you should draw your sword!" ”

"Rude!" Nao was about to stop the duel between the two, but he didn't expect that as he spoke, Xiang Yan had already drawn his sword.

"Stop!" This time, it was not Nao Cunning who stopped him alone, and the rest of Zhu Ao all stood up. If Cheng Jie and Xiang Yan duel, whoever dies will be a loss to the Chu State.

"Cheng Ao insulted my Xiang clan and wanted to compete with each other. Xiang's Yang is worthy of the sky, worthy of the people, Taiyi blesses, please prove the authenticity. Xiang Yan's sword was not sheathed, but accepted Chengsuke's challenge. His left hand gripped at the sharp blade of his sword, and blood flowed down the groove.

Xiang Yan swore a clear oath, and Cheng Jie also swore that the duel between the two was inevitable, and others shook their heads and sighed. But there is no way to deal with this kind of thing, there are not a thousand but hundreds of Chu people who die in duels every year, and the court has no intention of adjusting and shouting. The only good thing was that after the two had made an oath, they would no longer raise their swords against each other, and the interrupted deliberation could continue.

"Zhao Ren, Qin Ye; Qin people, Zhao also. "Cheng Jiedao." The Zhao people have been through Qin for a long time, and they didn't save our Chu State in the past, so it is better to attack Qin than to save Zhao. The attack on Qin was originally scheduled for May, I thought that it should be at least half a month in advance, so that the Qin people would not be able to come back in time, can you wait? ”

Cheng Jie asked Xiang Zhu Ao, and also asked Xiang Da Sima Mansion to sit in the divisions. Zhao Huang said: "The king is still outside the fortress, how to advance?" ”

"The king is still outside the plug, and he is outside the plug." When Chengjie mentioned this matter, his muscles burst out, and he even wanted to set up another king of Chu. Of course, this is just an angry idea, unrealistic and impossible. "Our army will go down to Jingling and the cities of Hanshui first, and the king can go straight to Jiuying from Huaishang."

"How are the old Chu people?" Of course, the siege of the city does not want the king to fight the vanguard, the role of the king is mainly to awaken the old Chu people to oppose Qin. Jiu Ying has fallen into the hands of the Qin people for nearly fifty years, although the customs have not changed, but many people only know that they are Qin people, and do not know that they are Chu people, which needs to be called by the king himself.

"In the land of the old Ying, the old Chu people are the new Qiantou, the Qin people are the old Qiantou, and the old Qiantou often humiliates the new Qiantou, and it is repeatedly banned." Cheng Jiedao. "And under the rule of the Qin people, they fought every year, and the common people were miserable, and they suffered Qin for a long time. If the Qin army can be broken, the common people should rise up against Qin. ”

Jiu Ying has infiltrated for several years, not to mention the Great Sima Mansion, even Zhu Ao is also clear about this. Under the rule of the Chu State, the hierarchy is strict, but the Chu State is lazy, the government does not interfere too much in the lives of the common people, and the taxes are also routine, and the most important thing is not to fight, there is a surplus in the year of not fighting, although the life is not too good, it is not too bad. Under the rule of the Qin State, the officials were diligent, took the law as the teaching, and took the officials as the teachers, and every year they either fought wars or forced labor, and they did not stop all year round, and they might have to die on the battlefield.

"I don't think so." If there is an accident, don't let me speak out against Chengjie. "We all know the difference between Qin Zheng and Chu Zheng, but do the old Ying and old Chu people know?"

"How don't you know?" Seisuke asked rhetorically. "Qin Zheng, Chu Zheng, at a glance......"

"It's clear at a glance, only to the ears of onlookers. The old Chu was born under the rule of the Qin State, no selfless school, no newspapers, no business travel, no witches, only know the Qin law and Qin officials, how to know how to know the Chu government? "Don't let me go." There are many people in the old Chu who only know that there is Qin, but they don't know that there is Chu and the world. If the king does not enter the old land to summon him, what will happen to the common people? Chop wood at the right time for the soldiers to oppose Qin, and Qin officials also. ”

"Qin officials?" Not only Cheng Jie, but even Nao and Xiang Yan were surprised by my judgment.

"If our army can defeat the Qin army, those who oppose Qin first will also be Qin officials." Li Ji's judgment turned out to be the same as that of me.

"Faith." Ruo Ao Duxing once personally entered the old Ying, and after coming back, he had a deep talk with Cheng Jie, and Cheng Jie was convinced that the Chu people had been suffering for a long time.

"Cheng Ao Fuxin, what can I do?" Don't let me smile bitterly. "How do the common people know the general trend of the world? How did the common people know that our army was attacking Qin? Those who know the world and the trend of the old Ying must be Qin officials; If the common people don't go to the bazaar, they don't go out of the book, how can they gather troops? The common people are based on farming, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, how dare they oppose Qin? Those who can gather troops to oppose Qin must be Qin officials. Therefore, I think that the old Yingqin officials should not be killed, but should be surrendered. ”

Don't worry, my opinion has already been mentioned, that is, to pardon the old Qin officials and traitors, thinking that I will use them, but the courtiers do not agree. There are no officials and traitors in the Chu State, how can the officials and traitors of the Qin State be pardoned? These people may have killed the Chu people and killed the surname Mi.

This is the reason why the courtiers do not agree, but it is not my original intention, he means to pardon first, and then find an opportunity to move these people out of the old Ying, which can also achieve the goal of purging officials and traitors. However, as soon as this method was said, it was scolded by the courtiers. If you kill it, you will kill it, if you are pardoned, if you promise it, you will be pardoned, and if you promise it, you will not be trusted, and the state of Chu will not do anything that is treacherous.

"That's a word for it." As a Shangguan, Xiang Yan glared at me and asked him to stop.

"The Great Sima Mansion thinks that if the king enters the old Yingying as late as May, what will the war be?" Nao asked slyly, he had to prepare for the worst. "Which is more important, the king entering the old Ying, and the Qin army sending troops to rescue? Are there any grains and grasses, boats, armor, and soldiers? ”

"I don't know yet." There is no way to answer these questions.

"When will you know?" Nao asked slyly.

"Four days later." He opened and closed his mouth, and finally opened his mouth.
