The news of Qin's defeat in the first battle soon spread back to Xianyang. For Qin Wangsi, this is not something to celebrate. King Qin held the emergency military information sent back from the front line in his hand, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while. Qin Wangsi walked out of the hall and looked up at the gray sky. At this moment, the black pressure pressed the clouds, echoing his mood.

A thunderclap streaked across the sky, deafening.

Qin Wangsi looked dazed: "Our country is defeated." ”

Qin Wangsi closed his eyes, it was hard to believe that this thing was true. However, whether he believed it or not, it could not change the fact that Chongqiu was defeated. Raindrops the size of pearls slapped on Qin Wangsi's forehead. With that, the rain became heavier and heavier. Qin Wangsi couldn't tell the difference, whether it was tears or rain flowing from the corners of his eyes.

Qin Wangsi suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Where is the magic sight?" ”

One person replied: "General Shushi, he has already sacrificed his life for the country." ”

"General Shushi deserves to be my Great Qin man." Qin Wangsi returned to the palace and asked, "Where did Zhang Yi go?" ”

One person replied, "Your Majesty, Zhang Xiang is training newly recruited soldiers in the southern camp. ”

"Go and get Zhang Yi to the widow."

As soon as Qin Wangsi's words fell, a familiar voice sounded outside the hall, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yi asks to see you." ”

"Zhang Yi, you're just in time."

Before Zhang Yi entered the palace, he had already learned that Qin had lost the first battle. The defeat in the first battle will not only hit the morale of the three armies, but also shake the determination of the Qin Wangsi to defeat Chu. Zhang Yi's purpose in entering the palace was to strengthen the determination of the King of Qin to fight with the Chu State. He didn't want his efforts to be wasted.

Zhang Yi entered the hall and arched his hand: "Minister, meet my king." ”

"No need to be polite." Qin Wangsi went straight to the point and asked: "In the battle of Chongqiu, we lost to the Chu State. Zhang Yi, what do you think about this battle? ”

Zhang Yi didn't answer, but asked, "Your Majesty, minister, can you ask one thing." ”

"You say."

"Has the king's determination to attack Chu been shaken?"

"This..."

Zhang Yi said again: "How determined is the king to attack Chu. ”

"Zhang Yi, the non-widow is not firm enough." Qin Wang Si sighed: "In the battle of Chongqiu, we were defeated. The situation on the battlefield is extremely unfavorable for us. It's better to..."

"Your Majesty." Seeing that King Qin was retreating, Zhang Yi raised his voice and said, "If we start a war with the State of Chu, we can only fight to the end. We will not win this battle. The state of Chu will unite with the princes of the Central Plains to jointly crusade against our country. A new round of joint attacks on me will once again take shape. Only when we defeat the Chu State will the Central Plains princes be afraid of the Qin State. The battle between Qin and Chu was not only a battle between great powers, but also related to the national fortunes of the two countries. ”

Qin Wangsi was silent.

"Your Majesty, what are we attacking Korea for, and driving away the rhino head?" Zhang Yi said in a fierce voice: "What are we doing to deceive the Chu State and divide the Qi and Chu Alliance. ”

King Qin said sharply: "In order to start a war with the Chu State." ”

"The king remembers, minister, rest assured."

"Zhang Yi, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for us. Do we still want to continue to compete with the Chu State? ”

"Your Majesty. We don't compete with the state of Chu. Zhang Yi asked, "Won't the State of Chu fight with us?" Qin and Chu went to war, and Qin had no choice but to fight with Chu to the end. ”

Qin Wangsi understood the meaning of Zhang Yi's words, Qin Chu had already started a war. The state of Qin had no choice but to win. At the moment, he didn't retreat, and said solemnly: "Zhang Yi, what you said is good. The widows not only have to compete with the state of Chu, but also with the princes of the world. ”

Zhang Yi saw that the decisive King of Qin had returned, "The king's determination to fight Chu remains unchanged. Minister, there is a way to save the situation. ”

"What can Zhang Yi do?"

"Minister, if you are willing to go to Chongqiu, you will say that Chu will Zhaoju."

"Will Zhaoju listen to us?"

"The country of Chu is big, but the people's hearts are not aligned." Zhang Yi said: "The three major families of Zhao, Qu, and Jing seem to be united on the surface. In fact, they check and balance each other and are suspicious of each other. The state of Chu is just a façade. The king of Chu came to attack us with a large army from multiple routes, and it seems that the state of Chu is powerful. However, the composition of the Chu army was complex and mixed with too many family forces. These family forces have always been fighting openly and secretly and restraining each other. We only need to make a little use and provoke it, and we can divide the relationship between Chu and Jiang. So that Chu will fight separately, do not cooperate with each other, and do not rescue each other. In this way, we will be able to defeat the Chu army. ”

"Okay." When Qin Wangsi heard this, his confidence increased greatly, "Zhang Yi can separate the Chu generals and save the crisis of the defeat in the Chongqiu war." The determination of the outnumbered people to attack Chu will never waver. The widow swore an oath to the national fortune of the Qin State that he would not defeat the Chu army and would never retreat. ”

"Your Majesty, you have such faith. In this battle, the Qin State will win. Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "Minister, immediately set off for Chongqiu, it is said that Chu will Zhaoju." Buy time for our country to attack the state of Chu. ”

……

The Chu general Zhaoju defeated the Qin general Shushi in the first battle, which boosted the morale of the three armies of the Chu State. Zhao Ju used force to prove to the Qin people that there was no city in the Great Chu State that could not be attacked. There is no city that the men of Chu State can't hold. The state of Chu was furious, and the princes of the world were shaken. Today's Chu is what the Qin people can shake. The Qin State attacked Chu, which was simply beyond its strength.

Zhao Ju summoned the generals above the commander of a thousand commanders to discuss how to attack Qin next. Suddenly, I heard that Zhang Yi of the Qin State came to Chongqiu. Zhao Ju smiled at everyone: "As soon as the Qin State was defeated, Zhang Yi came. Tell me why Zhang Yi came to see me. ”

Zhao said: "We just defeated the Qin army. Zhang Yi came to Chongqiu to seek peace. ”

"Summation." Zhao Ju said coldly: "Zhang Yi has caused my country a great humiliation. Shall we make peace with them? ”

Zhao Hua asked, "Commander, Zhang Yi is here." Do we see, or do we not. ”

"See. How not to see. The corners of Zhao Ju's lips rose, "Zhang Yi is here, I want to hear what he has to say." ”

One person reminded: "General, Zhang Yi is flamboyant, it's better for us not to see each other." ”

"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Ju said contemptuously: "Zhang Yi's mouth is to break the sky, and it can't shake my determination to attack the Qin State. ”

When he was young, Zhang Yi came over and shouted: "Qin envoy Zhang Yi, pay a visit to the general." ”

"Zhang Yi, you deceived my king. Courage has come to me today. Zhao Ju wiped the sword in his hand and shouted, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

"Today I am here for the general, the general wants to kill me, please do it!"

Zhao Ju waved the long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed at Zhang Yi, "Okay." I'll kill you. ”

Zhang Yi laughed loudly.

Zhao Ju asked, "Zhang Yi, are you afraid?" ”

Zhang Yi suppressed her laughter, "The death of the eldest husband is just a head to the ground, what is there to be afraid of." ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending to be calm, Zhao Ju was suspicious for a while and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "The general wants to kill me, can't I laugh?" ”

Zhao Slip drew his long sword and shouted, "The general killed him." ”

General Chu also said in unison: "The general killed him." ”

Zhao Ju asked, "Zhang Yi, what are you here for?" ”

Zhang Yi looked around at General Chu and laughed at himself: "I'm here to send him to death." ”

Zhao Ju inserted the long sword back into the scabbard and looked directly into the other party's eyes, "Is there such a stupid person in the world?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Yi pointed to herself, "Me and you." ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, he laughed and said, "Zhang Yi, aren't you scared and confused!" ”

"Zhang Yi's life is magnificent, how can it be frightened. Today, the general killed me. In the coming day, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin State will come to the city to avenge me. The general had less than 50,000 soldiers in his hands. Can it withstand the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin State? Zhang Yi said again: "Today I am here to send the general to death." Tomorrow, the general's fate will be the same as mine. ”

Zhao slipped and said: "General Hugh wants to listen to his nonsense and kill him." ”

Zhang Yi scolded: "Am I talking nonsense? ”

Zhao Slip pulled out his long sword and prepared to step forward and kill Zhang Yi.

Zhao Ju shouted, "Stop." ”

Zhao said: "General." ”

Zhao Ju said: "Whether to kill Zhang Yi or not, I have my own opinion." ”

"In the first battle of Chongqiu, everyone in the Qin State knew about it, and no one knew the prestige of the general. When the king of Chu sees that the general wins, he will definitely draw troops from you and attack the Qin state under the unified command of Qu Kuo. The general's army was transferred, Chongqiu's troops were weak, and Hanzhong was empty. When the Qin State saw it, it would also take Chongqiu first, and then attack Hanzhong. Chongqiu is in trouble, will anyone come to save the general. Zhang Yi said lightly: "Qu Kuo is deeply relied on by the King of Chu. The general and the soldiers under his command will also be deployed by Qu Lu. Qu Kuo was ordered by the commander to send the general to defend a city that could not be defended. What will be the end of the general. Zhang Yi deliberately paused, observed Zhao Ju's expression, and said: "The general is a smart person, I don't need to say it, I should have guessed the ending." ”

Zhao Ju's mind was broken by Zhang Yi's words, and he said in his heart: "Zhang Yi's name is really worthy of its name. ”

"I have an idea. It can not only preserve the strength of the general, but also not let the general listen to the dispatch. Zhang Yi said: "I returned to Qin and pretended to send troops to attack Hanzhong. When the king of Chu saw that Hanzhong was in danger, he would not draw soldiers from the general. The general will not be harmed in the slightest. ”

Zhao Ju thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Zhang Yi, let's go!" I won't kill you. ”

Zhang Yi saw that Zhao Ju's tone was soft, and said with a smile: "General Zhao Ju, take care." ”

Zhao Hua said angrily: "General, let's just let him go." ”

"Zhang Yi is right. We have won the battle against the Qin army, and the king will definitely draw troops to attack Qin. The boy of the Zhao clan, how can he be driven by the people of his Qu clan. ”

Zhao Hua asked, "General, what are you going to do?" ”

"Qu and Zhao have always been at odds. We can borrow the hands of the Qin people to get rid of this fierce enemy. When the Qin army attacks Danyang, it will definitely compete with Qu Kuo. When the Qin army breaks through Danyang, we are taking the opportunity to attack the Qin army and regain the lost territory. In this way, we have not only weakened the Qu clan, but also increased the prestige of the Zhao clan. ”

The state of Qin stabilized Zhaoju, and the king of Qin ordered Ying Ji, Wei Zhang, and Gan Mao to lead the army to attack Chu. The Qin-Chu War was in full swing.

Seeing that Wei Zhang did not repel Shangyu's Chu army. Ordered Yinghua to lead 20,000 soldiers to support Wei Zhang.

Wei Zhang was originally a native of Wei and later defected to Qin. Wei Zhang was in Qin and never had the opportunity to establish fame. Today, the king of Qin decided to attack the state of Chu and let him lead the army alone to attack Chu. This battle is not only related to the national fortunes of Qin and Chu. It will also affect the future of Wei Zhang himself. In this battle, only victory is allowed, not defeat.

Wei Zhang led a large army to Shangyu in order to find out the combat strength of the army. Wei Zhang ordered to stick to it. In the face of all kinds of provocations by the Chu people, the Qin generals asked for war many times, but they were all rejected by Wei Zhang. The soldiers of the Qin army saw the arrogant Chu people outside the city, and they were dissatisfied with Wei Zhang's approach. Everyone thinks that Wei Zhang is a Wei person, cowardly and cowardly. How could the Wei people really help the Qin State to attack the Chu State.

When the Qin general Yinghua came to Shangyu, he also heard the dissatisfaction of the soldiers and asked, "Why doesn't General Wei go to battle to meet the enemy." ”

Wei Zhang said: "This battle is related to the safety of the overall situation, and it cannot be fought lightly. ”

Ying Hua said angrily: "The Chu people insulted us outside the city, can't General Wei hear it?" ”

Wei Zhang said: "The king handed over the soldiers to me, and I have the responsibility to bring them back alive." ”

Yinghua said angrily: "The general is unwilling to fight, and I will destroy the prestige of the Chu people." ”

Yinghua led 20,000 soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy and attack the Chu army. Yinghua is worthy of being a fierce general of the Qin State, and the army he led went on a rampage and disrupted the Chu army camp. General Chu saw it and asked, "Who is coming, so brave and brave." ”

"General, this person is Qin General Yinghua."

"Yinghua." General Chu said with a smile: "Pass the order, and there will be a reward for killing Yinghua." ”
