Qin Wangdang, with Gan Mao as his general, led 50,000 Great Qin Ruishi to expedition to Yiyang, South Korea. The war of the Qin State went smoothly, all the way to the triumphant advance, in less than five days, broke through the Korean border, went down to Lin'an, and arrived in Yiyang.

Yiyang City is impregnable, well-garrisoned, and there are Korean big Sima Han Peng and general uncle Ying to defend it. The Qin State made no progress in this battle. After five months of fighting, it failed to work, but instead lost troops and lost generals, and the morale of the Qin army was greatly affected. The king of Chu took Jingcui as his general and sent troops to help Han. Faced with the predicament, Gan Mao, as the main general, was discouraged, and his confidence was shaken for a while, and he wanted to give up halfway.

A few months ago, Gan Mao, despite everyone's opposition, was in favor of attacking South Korea, pulling out Yiyang, Dingsanchuan, and Chetong Zhou, in order to view Jiuding. In order to break through Korea, Gan Mao personally went to Wei to say that the heir of the king of Wei was dividing the Han-Wei alliance. Later, he made an alliance with King Dang of Qin. In May, he still did not take Yiyang, but lost his troops.

The war was unfavorable, and Gan Mao was anxious. The Qin generals also persuaded Gan Mao to withdraw his troops and return to China to recuperate.

Gan Mao withdrew his troops and returned to China, not to mention how Qin Wangdang would treat him for the time being. Qin Chen will also unanimously write to Qin Wangdang and impeach him. According to the laws of Qin, the general will go out on the expedition without military merits, and if he involves three armies, he will not be executed, but will also be exiled. If you attack South Korea, you will withdraw your troops and return to Japan. In the main hall of the Qin State, there will never be his shadow again.

Gan Mao boasts that he has the ability to conquer the world. In the first half of his life, his career was not smooth and his fate was ill-fated. After most of his life, he came to the Qin State. He thought that it would be impossible to conquer the princes and become famous in the world in this life. has lived for most of his life, and there is no Ming Jun, let him establish his fame.

Although Danyang and Lantian participated in the battle of attacking Chu, he also failed to be among the famous generals of Qin Huiwang. His prestige is far inferior to Ying Ji, Sima Cuo, Wei Zhang, Yinghua and others. Gan Mao also often sighs to the sky, it is difficult for him to be mediocre in this life until he dies of old age.

He is unwilling, really unwilling!

However, people can't fight with the sky, they can only sigh that their luck is bad and their fate is unlucky.

King Hui of Qin died, and King Dang of Qin succeeded to the throne. Qin Wangdang asked him to lead his troops into Shu to quell the rebellion, giving him a chance to establish his fame. Entering Shu to quell the rebellion, Gan Mao proved himself. After returning from the rebellion, King Dang of Qin named him the prime minister of Zuo and concurrently served as a general, responsible for foreign expeditions. Gan Mao is on the rise, and he is a very popular minister. If he can help Qin Wangdang achieve the great cause of attacking Han and peeking at Zhou, he will definitely make another contribution.

Making a name for himself in history is his lifelong pursuit.

If he can't take Yiyang, as Xiang Shou said: he lived in Qin Xiang and led the troops to the battle, but there was no result. Those who oppose him in the country will unite and attack him in a big way. These people said that he couldn't attack South Korea because he had a good relationship with South Korea. If he is accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, not only will his own life be difficult to survive, but he will also implicate his family. His life can be regarded as the end of his life. Everything he fought for before will also be in vain.

At this moment, Gan Mao has no way to retreat, and he can't retreat. The only way to fight against the water is to break through Yiyang.

...... Xianyang Palace

Gan Mao set out for May and attacked Yiyang to no avail. The ministers of the Qin State continued to write to impeach Gan Mao, and the ministers spoke in the same tone, "The Qin division went on an expedition to attack Yiyang for more than five months, but it was not broken." The Qin State lost its troops and lost its generals, and the people in the country were indignant and complained. Today, the Qin division is tired, and I hope that the king will order the withdrawal of the army in order to make a big plan. ”

Qin Wangdang suppressed the remarks of these ministers, avoided the palace, and did not go to the court to govern.

The right prime minister entered the palace in person, and said in a decisive manner: "Your Majesty, please order the withdrawal of the army." ”

Qin Wangdang's face was full of reluctance and replied: "It has been five months since the widows attacked Yiyang. Seeing that Yiyang is about to break, and now withdrawing the army, the widow is really unwilling. ”

"Your Majesty, it has been five months since we attacked Yiyang, South Korea. The Great Qin Ruishi was exhausted and his spirit was lost. It will not help us to be reckless, grit our teeth, and hold on. We threatened to destroy South Korea in three months. However, Yiyang was not breached for five months. Seeing this, the Korean army is bound to work together from top to bottom, boost morale, and fight with us to the end. When our army was exhausted, the South Korean army poured out. 50,000 soldiers will be buried in South Korea. ”

Qin Wangdang struggled to suppress the aura in his heart, and his chest rose and fell sharply.

Taking advantage of the situation, he said: "Ten years ago, the first king borrowed Han Wei to attack the Qi country. In the battle of Sanqiu, 30,000 soldiers of Daqin buried the Qi State. The princes of the Central Plains saw the defeat of Qin, and the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Yan united and sent a letter to Gu. Our country is facing the greatest crisis since the founding of the People's Republic of China. If we lose to Korea, the princes of the world will also join forces to attack Qin again. The state of Qin is in danger. ”

"Attack South Korea, pull Yiyang, Dingsanchuan, and pass through the Zhou room to watch Jiuding." Gan Mao thumped his chest, "This is the ambition of the widow." Withdraw the army like this, the widow is really unwilling! ”

"The king is young, this is the biggest capital." Ying Jian said slowly: "When Great Qin recovers its national strength, the king will go out of the Han Valley in the east to fight for the world." ”

"Do you still have a chance for the widow?"

"Your Majesty, there will be a day." Seeing that Qin Wangdang was relieved, "Although we did not capture Yiyang, Korea was also seriously damaged. The battle between Qin and Han is not divided into winners and losers. We will now withdraw the expeditionary army and preserve our strength, so that we can wait for the change of the original in the future, and then repay the shame of today. ”

Qin Wangdang pondered these words and was silent.

Seeing that King Qin's mind was shaken, he said: "Your Majesty, Yiyang City is strong and difficult to attack. Han Wangcang gambled everything, and he was bound to refuse to give up. South Korea's big Sima Han Peng and Han Jianggong's uncle will also struggle to resist. We fought for five months and our morale was low. Now, the king of Chu takes Jingcui as his general and sends troops to help Han. Qin and South Korea are united, and I am afraid that the battlefield situation is not favorable to our country. If Wei Zhao sends troops, he will take the opportunity to attack us. The situation will change completely, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that the main force of our army still exists and there is no sign of defeat, and move back to China. ”

When Qin Wang Dang heard this, he sighed and said, "Okay! As my uncle said, the withdrawal of the army is the outnumber. ”

Win Ji Xi said: "The king is Shengming." ”

After Win left, Ren Yan asked, "Your Majesty, do you really plan to ask Prime Minister Zuo to withdraw his troops." ”

"The war is not good, and the situation is not good. Now that the state of Chu has also sent troops to aid South Korea, there is no way to withdraw the troops. ”

Meng Ben asked, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten your ambition?" ”

"Compared with the ambition of the widow and the safety of the Qin State, which is more important. The widow is still clearly distinguished. Qin Wangdang's eyes showed a very complicated and painful look, "Qin State is already tricky to deal with Han and Chu. In addition, the Wei State is defecting. The princes of Qi raised their arms in the Central Plains and attacked Qin together. The state of Qin is in danger. Withdraw the army, and the widow is not reconciled! However, there is no way to do it! ”

Wu Yu said: "The king withdraws the army, Prime Minister Zuo must be very sad!" ”

Qin Wang Dang stared at the bleak clouds outside the hall, let out a sigh, and sighed: "So far, the widow has no choice but to wronged him. ”

Qin Wang Dang asked Ren Con to hold the talisman in his hand and go to Yiyang to let Gan Mao withdraw his troops.

Ren Cong was in the camp of the Qin army, saw Gan Mao, and arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, the king..."

Seeing that he couldn't bear to speak, Gan Mao said for him: "The king told me to withdraw my army, right? ”

"Exactly." Ren Yan saw that he saw the intention, and he didn't hide it from him, "Prime Minister Zuo, let you withdraw the army, the king is also unwilling." However, the ministers of the Qin State jointly sent a letter to the king, and the king will..."

"What I feared happened." Gan Mao smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, in the end, I was asked to withdraw the army. ”

Ren Yan asked: "Prime Minister Zuo, you already knew that the king would let you withdraw the army. ”

"I led the troops on an expedition to Yiyang, and it has been five months. Seeing that I have been attacking Yiyang for a long time, the ministers are bound to unite to impeach me for my mistakes. When the king saw that his ministers said so, he was bound to be suspicious. Gan Mao looked into Ren's eyes, "I'm right! ”

"Prime Minister Zuo already knows, so I don't need to say more." Ren Yan mistakenly thought that Gan Mao was dissatisfied in his heart, and sympathized: "I can understand that Prime Minister Zuo is unwilling." However, the king's command cannot be violated. Please withdraw the troops from Prime Minister Zuo, and don't embarrass me. ”

"He once participated in the virtuous virtue, but after the three of them, his mother also believed that her son had killed someone and went over the wall to hide. I don't have the sage of Zeng Shen, and the king's trust in me is not as high as my great-mother's trust in Zeng Shen. If I lead an army to attack Yiyang and fail to conquer it for a long time, and the ministers of the court and the central government slander me, the king will inevitably be suspicious of me. Gan Mao sighed leisurely: "The king is not Wei Wenhou after all, and I am not a happy sheep after all!" ”

Ren Despised suddenly heard that 'Zeng Shen' and 'Le Yang' suddenly sounded in his mind, this is not before the expedition, Gan Mao used Zeng Shen to kill people, and the allusion of Le Yang to cut down Zhongshan, forcing the King of Qin to make an alliance. Gan Mao also said that the battle of Yiyang, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it will be a protracted war. It turned out that before setting out on the expedition, Gan Mao had already expected all this.

Ren Yan finally figured out why Gan Mao had all kinds of strange behaviors when he attacked South Korea. Now that I think about it, Gan Mao is really a visionary! At the moment, I also admired him very much, "Prime Minister Zuo, I knew this was the case, why did I bother in the first place?" ”

"Yes! If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. Gan Mao sighed and said: "The minister knows the king, but the king does not know the minister." ”

When Ren disdained this, he was also embarrassed. In today's world of great controversy, what good generals are most afraid of is that the minister knows the king, and the king does not know the minister.

Gan Mao put away the loss in his heart, "Ren Contempt, can you help me do something?" ”

Ren said disdainfully: "Prime Minister Zuo commanded. ”

Gan Mao took out a bamboo slip and blew off the heavy dust on the bamboo slip with his mouth, "I thought I wouldn't use it, it seems that I was wrong." ”

Ren Yan saw that Gan Mao's eyes were extremely lost, and he humbly took the bamboo slip, and saw that there were two big characters written on the bamboo slip... Rest. Suddenly, I understood what Gan Mao meant. Gan Mao stared at the bamboo slips, stunned for a while, his heart was tormented and painful, and he sighed and said, "You send the bamboo slips back to the king." When the king saw it, he still wanted me to withdraw his army. I will obey. ”

Ren saluted and retired, and rushed back to Xianyang overnight.

Qin Wangdang asked: "Ren contempt, let Prime Minister Zuo withdraw his troops." He has complaints. ”

Ren didn't answer, took out the bamboo slips, and presented them to Qin Wangdang.

Qin Wangdang took the bamboo slip and looked at it... The word "Xiyang".

Qin Wangdang was silent for a long time and asked, "Gan Mao is blaming the widow for not abiding by the alliance of the earth!" Ren Yan, what else did Gan Mao say. ”

Prime Minister Zuo said that he had participated in Xiande, and his mother was after the three of them, and she also believed that he had killed someone and went over the wall to hide. Prime Minister Zuo did not have the sage of Zeng Shen, and the king's trust in him was not as high as that of his great-mother's trust in Zeng Shen. Zuo Cheng pulled out Yiyang, and he couldn't overcome it for a long time, and the ministers of the court and the central government slandered him. The king will be suspicious of him. Ren Shi paused and said: "Prime Minister Zuo said that the king is not Wei Wenhou after all, and he is not a happy sheep after all!" ”

When Qin Wang Dang heard this, he was silent again, and asked again, "What else did he say?" ”

"The minister knows the king, but the king does not know the minister." Ren Yan said again: "Prime Minister Zuo said that he had already written the bamboo slips, he thought he wouldn't use them, it seems that he was wrong." ”

"Ren Yan, Prime Minister Zuo was very sad about the widow when he said these words!" Qin Wang Dang stroked the word 'Xiyang' on the bamboo slip, "In the past, the widow thought that he knew Prime Minister Zuo very well. Now it seems that the widow did not know him at all. Prime Minister Zuo is the one who knows the widow best. The minister knows the king, and the king does not know the minister. He is the likes of Happy Sheep, and the widow is not Wei Wenhou after all! ”

Ren Yan waited until King Qin relieved his emotions and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?" ”

"Gan Mao does not bear the widow, how can the widow bear him." Qin Wangdang's eyes can't see the trend of decadence, the man who is intimidating, decisive, full of ideals and has the world in mind, is back.
