The Qin soldiers attacked Zhao in two ways. All the way, he led 100,000 people from Hexi County and Shangjun to rush towards Zhao State. On the other hand, with Zhang Yi as the general, he led 50,000 Qin troops in Zhongdu and Xiyang to the north to contain the Zhao army. Zhao Yong held the front-line emergency military situation in his hand, and asked the ministers: "Qin State is coming back to attack me, how should we deal with it." ”

"Jinyang is the place where my surname is Zhao Longxing, and I can't lose it!" Zhao Bao said anxiously: "Your Majesty, we can't retreat. ”

"That's what the widow means." Zhao Yong's eyes quickly swept towards the ministers, and his tone was unambiguous, "We not only want to fight, but also win." ”

Li Dui said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the most harmful to our country is the army led by Win Ji. If we defeat the victory, Zhang Yi's people will retreat without a fight. The minister suggested that we should focus our offense and defense on the body of the disease. In order to avoid Jinyang being attacked on both sides, we should also send a small number of troops to contain the Qin army in the Zhongdu and Xiyang areas. ”

Zhao Yong nodded, his gaze stayed on Da Sima Feiyi's body, and asked, "What is the military strength that our country can deploy freely." ”

"Except for the border fortress, the troops left behind cannot be deployed." Fei Yi said with a stern expression: "At present, our country can deploy less than 50,000 troops. ”

When the ministers of Zhao State heard this number, they panicked. How could an army of 50,000 resist the advance of a 100,000 Qin army.

"General Zhao Xie was pinned down by the Qin army in the Zhongdu and Xiyang areas." Zhao Yong looked at the minister and asked, "Who is willing to lead the army to fight against the Emperor." ”

He is a famous minister and a famous general of the Qin State, and he is also the right-hand man of the Qin Wangsi. In the battle of Hangu Pass, Qin Jiang won the battle and became famous. The first battle of fishing was suspended, and the three Jin were defeated. Attack Zhao, take Zhao Zhongdu, Xiyang. Attack South Korea and take South Korea. There is a saying in the Qin State that there is no victory that cannot capture the city.

Qin Wangsi led the people of Shangjun and Hexi to cross the river and march eastward with the victory of the disease. It is enough to see that the Qin State sent troops to the land of Jinyang of the Zhao State this time, and it is bound to win. When the military generals of Zhao Guo Gaoxun heard that the military strength was only 50,000, and the opponent was known as the most capable general of Qin State, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to meet Zhao Jun's gaze.

Zhao Yong took a breath and asked, "That general is willing to lead the troops." ”

"Minister, incompetent."

Zhao Yong stared at the military generals of Wenchen kneeling in the main hall, and a sneer burst out in his heart. Zhao Guo owns the four counties of Handan, Jinyang, Dai and Shangdang, covering an area of thousands of miles. Zhao Chenghou Chong, Zhao Su Houyu father and son, dared to call the princes of the world, and fought everywhere without falling behind. However, to this day, no one in the palace of Zhao Guo has come forward for the country.

Zhao Bao said: "The soldiers of Jinyang are enough to defend the city. But to expel the Qin army from my Zhao realm, these 50,000 people are not enough. Now, the main forces of Qi and Zhongshan are all cutting Yan. The eyes of the two countries were firmly fixed on Yan Guo. There will be no war in our northern and eastern borders. The minister suggested that the troops stationed in Shancheng to defend Zhongshan be repatriated, as well as the soldiers stationed in the realm of Zhao Qi. In this way, we will be able to repel the Qin army. ”

"Your Majesty, you must not withdraw your troops. The focus of the two kingdoms of Qi and Zhongshan was the state of Yan. However, the two countries did not deploy all the main forces. Seeing that Jun Shang did not mean to interrupt his speech, Li Dui continued: "We suddenly transferred back to the border to deal with the Qin State. The defense of the realm of Qi and Zhongshan will be greatly weakened. Qi and Zhongshan saw an opportunity, once they secretly united with Qin and sent troops to attack our country. With Qin in the west, Qi in the east, and Zhongshan in the north, the situation in our country is critical. ”

"The army we mobilized is only 50,000, how can we resist the strong offensive of the Qin army."

"With 50,000 people, resist more than 100,000 Qin troops, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?"

"The Qin people are fierce and fierce, how is this good."

Zhao Xiang said: "Your Majesty, we issued an edict to recruit soldiers. Mobilize the forces of the whole country and fight against Qin. ”

"No." Li Dui said slowly: "First, the newly recruited soldiers, who have not undergone strict training, are sent to the battlefield, which will only increase unnecessary casualties. Second, mobilizing the strength of the whole country will cause panic among the people. Third, all our forces will fight with the Qin State, and the Qi State and the Zhongshan State will send troops to crusade against us, and how will our country respond to the war. ”

"We can't transfer back the soldiers who defended Qi and Zhongshan, and the newly recruited soldiers can't be sent to the battlefield." Zhao Wen said coldly: "How can we redeem our disadvantage." ”

"It's not that our military strength is not enough, it's just that we lack a commander. Jinyang had 100,000 people, plus 50,000 reinforcements, which was more than enough to deal with the Qin State. Zhao Yong said: "For today's plan, the widow has to recruit in person in order to boost the morale of our army and repel the Qin army." ”

When Zhao Bao heard this, his face was shocked, and he said anxiously: "The monarch is the lord of a country, how can he personally get involved in danger." ”

"The king sits in Handan, strategizing, and can win a thousand miles." Li Dui also persuaded: "The minister is not talented, and he is willing to go." ”

Although Li Dui has a talent, he has no experience in leading an army. If he is allowed to command the army, there will inevitably be many people who will not accept it. However, at present, the situation in Jinyang is critical, and there is no best candidate in this hall. After thinking about it, Zhao Yong decided to go to the expedition in person to solve the danger of Jinyang, and raised his voice: "Jinyang is the foundation of the country, and you can't be sloppy. Only by recruiting in person, boosting the morale of our army, and strengthening the prestige of our country, can the widow solve the crisis in Jinyang. ”

Zhao Bao saw that the monarch insisted on recruiting in person, and a person's figure flashed in the depths of his mind in a hurry, "Your Excellency, the minister thinks of a person." Why don't we transfer him back and let him lead the army to meet the Qin army. ”

Zhao Yong asked, "Who?" ”

"General Handan, Lou slow."

"Slow down."

"Xianjunyong, Wei invited Qi Yan Chu Qin to be buried in the name of the funeral, waiting for an opportunity to try my Zhao State. We were able to thwart the conspiracy of the funeral of the Five Kingdoms without the credit of General Lou Xuan. The minister thought that he was the only one to support Jinyang and resist Qin Shi. ”

"No." Fei Yi retorted: "The situation of the battlefield is changing rapidly. We will summon Lou Yan back, and then let him lead the army to support Jinyang. Lin Cheng, Lishi and other important cities fell into the hands of the Qin people. Once the Qin people gain a firm foothold, if we attack them again, our army will definitely suffer. The minister thought that the king's personal expedition could boost the morale of the three armies and strengthen the prestige of our three armies. We should take advantage of the fact that the Qin army came from afar and had an unstable foothold, and repelled the Qin army in a battle. The ministers are in favor of the king's personal conquest. ”

Zhao Bao retorted: "The monarch is the lord of a country, how can he be in danger. ”

"Xiangbang is reasonable, the monarch is the foundation of the country, please take the overall situation first."

"Please think twice."

"The widow's mind has been decided, you don't need to say much." Zhao Yong raised his voice and said, "If you don't defeat the Qin army, you won't be able to return." ”

"Fei Yi and Li Dui, go with the widow."

Fei Yi and Li Dui said in unison: "No." ”

"Handan and the army of food and grass, the widow entrusted to Xiangbang."

Zhao Bao saw that the monarch had made up his mind, and it was difficult to persuade him to withdraw the edict, and agreed: "Promise." ”

Zhao Yong issued an edict to the ministers, "Pass the order, prepare grain and grass quickly, and the army will start in five days." ”

General Qin Ying Ji stood on the west bank of the big river, staring at the surging river, and said for a long time: "If Zhao Di was not protected by the big river, Jinyang would have belonged to the Qin State long ago. ”

Yinghua said: "Admiral Wang handed over the important task of attacking Zhao State Jinyang to you, what are your plans?" ”

Ying Ji calmly looked at Dahe and replied: "Zhao Di has a difficult road, and it is not so easy to attack Zhao. ”

Yinghua doubted: "It's not easy to attack Zhao, why do you want to take the order to attack Zhao." ”

Win turned to look at him and sighed, "Do I have any other choice?" ”

Yinghua Muran said: "What do you mean by this." ”

"Zhao Jinyang, you can look at Handan in the east and look down on Han Wei in the south. This is my plan for the king. Ying Ji turned around, looked at Dahe and said, "The king asked me to lead the people of Shangjun and Hexi County to attack Zhao, but what is the biggest problem in front of us. ”

Yinghua said directly: "Big river! ”

"The great river is a natural danger, how can a hundred thousand troops pass."

"That's easy to do." Yinghua pointed to the big river: "Build more pontoon bridges for our army." ”

"You! Or think about the problem too simply. Ying Ji glanced at him sideways and continued: "Not to mention how much manpower and material resources are needed to build a pontoon bridge. The construction of the pontoon bridge alone would have cost a lot of money. How long will it take for 100,000 troops to pass through the pontoon bridge, when the river is exhausted and the river is unfathomable. If the war between us and the Zhao army reaches a stalemate, the river will rise sharply, and our army will have no way to retreat. Taking a step back, our 100,000-strong army successfully crossed the pontoon bridge and successfully reached the opposite bank. However, the road to Zhaodi is complicated and there are many mountains. In addition, the people of Zhao Di are fierce, and compared with our Qin army, they are equal. In this battle, our chances of winning are not good. ”

"My 100,000 army crossed the river, who dares to fight for the Great Qin Ruishi."

"You! Underestimating the people of Zhao Di will suffer a big loss. ”

"The people of Zhao can fight well, and they have not been captured by our army in Zhongdu and Xiyang." Yinghua smiled: "You! It's too much to boost the morale of the enemy. ”

Ying Ji shook his head, and said, "I'll give you a word, never despise your opponent." ”

Yinghua was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize that she despised the people of Zhao Di too much, and hurriedly said: "Hua, keep it in mind, don't dare to forget." ”

"At the beginning of Zhao Jun's succession, Wei invited Qi, Chu, Yan and our country to wait for the opportunity to plan Zhao in the name of the funeral. Zhao Guo lost his lord, and the new monarch was young. The five kingdoms pressed the border strongly, and the vassal states all thought that Zhao Jun would cede the land and sue for peace. Zhao will also submit to the Five Kingdoms. However, Zhao Jun made a dangerous decision and dared to go to war against the Five Kingdoms. Zhao Jun is still so bold and courageous when he is young. Today's Zhao, Zhao Jun will not easily ask for peace with our country. Winning the disease looked up to the sky and sighed, "This time to kill Zhao, it's difficult!" ”

Facing Yinghua's puzzled eyes, Ying Jian said: "You must want to say that attacking Zhao is not easy to fight, why do I want to lead the army to the expedition." ”

Yinghua nodded.

"I suggested to the king that Zhongdu and Xiyang should send troops to attack Zhao. Who knew that the king asked me to lead the people of Shangjun and Hexi County to attack Zhao. ”

Yinghua said: "What's wrong with the king's arrangement. ”

"Our army must first cross the great river." Win Jian said slowly: "Secondly, we can fight with Zhao State, if we cross the river, we can't defeat the main force of Zhao State in a battle, and my 100,000 army is in danger." ”

"Since it is not easy to attack Zhao, we might as well state to the king how powerful it is." Yinghua observed the other party's expression and asked, "Is my suggestion bad?" ”

Ying Jian bent down, picked up a stone, and threw it with all his might, "It's not easy to attack Zhao, but it's not without a chance of winning." We will not attack Zhao and contain Zhao's forces. Yan Guo is in danger. ”

"What does our attack on Zhao have to do with Yan Kingdom?"

"We don't fight Zhao Guo." Ying Jian still looked at Dahe, "The Zhao army will send troops to the Yan Kingdom." ”

"Yan Country is far away from my Qin Kingdom, so I don't care what he does."

"The kingdom of Yan and the kingdom of Qin are countries of brothers. Yan is also a pawn of our country to contain Qi and Zhao. With the presence of the Yan State, the two countries of Qi and Zhao will be controlled by it. For the sake of the overall situation, we must take care of the affairs of Yan Kingdom. Winning continued: "If the Qi State fails to defeat Yan, it will become a feud." At that time, there was a threat from the Yan State in the north of the Qi State, and An Neng let go of his hands and feet and fought for hegemony among the princes. We can't reach Qi State, but Zhao State can fight. ”

"Although the Yan Kingdom is far away, it is also a pawn of my Qin State to disturb the Central Plains." Yinghua smiled: "You! It's a long way to go. ”

"More than ten years ago, this land belonged to Zhao State." Recalling the past, Ying Jian sighed a lot, only to feel that time was fleeting, "In that battle, we killed Zhao General Zhao Fang, crossed the river, and occupied Lin City and Lishi of Zhao State. If it weren't for the rise of the world, we wouldn't have given up the land we occupied. Today, we will not cross the river again and attack Zhao. ”

Ying Ji stood on the riverbank, "Yinghua gave the order. When the water level dropped, we crossed the river and took advantage of the situation to occupy the positions on the opposite bank of the Zhao army. ”

"Don't worry." Ying Huazhi said proudly: "Jinyang, my Qin State is about to be decided." ”
