When night fell, Zhao Jun discussed in the big tent who should lead the army to cross and attack the Qin army in Hexi. Zhao Xie and Zhao Gu are old, so they are naturally not the first choices. Daijun boy, and he doesn't understand water. Tian Buli was scared when he saw the water. Le Yi's position is not high, and he is young, so naturally it will not be his turn. Fei Yi and Tian Buli had to stay by Zhao Jun's side, coordinate the overall situation, and make suggestions. When Sima Wang's clan went, Zhao Yunshu naturally would not agree. The first battle must be won, and if someone else is sent, Zhao Yong is not at ease. Tu Yi looked at it, felt that he was suitable, and was just about to volunteer. Sima Wangzu took the lead and took the initiative to ask: "Your Excellency, the minister goes." ”

When Zhao Yunshu heard this, his face turned pale instantly, and he was speechless for a while, staring at Sima Wangzu with a pair of confused eyes, as if he wanted him to give himself a proper explanation.

Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Yunshu, then at Sima Wang, and asked, "Sima Wang, have you decided?" Actually, you don't have to take any chances. ”

Sima Wangzu said: "The minister's mind has been decided, please agree." ”

Zhao Yong naturally understood that Sima Wangzu was the most suitable candidate among the people here, but considering that Sima Wangzu and Zhao Yunshu had been married for four years, they still had a two-year-old child. The Sima family was originally thin, and the Sima Wang clan attacked Qin, if there was any accident, how should he explain to Zhao Yunshu.

Sima Wangzu said again: "Please agree." ”

Zhao Yong understood what was in the other party's eyes, nodded, and advised, "Be careful." ”

After the salute, Sima Wang came out of the camp and went to dispatch men. Zhao Yunshu chased after him and shouted, "Wait a minute." ”

Sima Wangzu stopped, turned to look at her and said, "I'm sorry, I made a decision without consulting you, please forgive me." ”

"What you're thinking, I know. I support your decision. Zhao Yunshu said with a smile: "You are the landlord I chose, if you don't go, you won't be the person I know." ”

"I thought you were going to scold me."

Zhao Yunshu said: "In your eyes, I am an unreasonable woman. ”

"That's not what I meant."

"In the face of major rights and wrongs, I can still distinguish priorities."

"Yun Shu, I'm sorry to you."

"You are husband and wife, don't say these three words." Zhao Yunshu looked at him affectionately and said, "Promise me to live." ”

"I promise you."

Zhao Yunshu stepped forward to hug him and said with a smile: "If you break your promise, I will not forgive you." ”

Sima Wangzu said: "I will not lose my trust in you. This is a promise made by a husband to his wife. ”

After a long time, Zhao Yunshu let go of his hands, took a step back and said, "Don't hurt yourself." ”

Sima Wangzu bowed goodbye and turned to leave. After Zhao Yunshu left, he returned to his tent.

An hour later, the Sima Wang clan selected 3,000 soldiers with good water properties and crossed the river west under the cover of night. When the army of Zhao State landed on the shore, he saw the soldiers of Qin State not far away, gathering around the bonfire, eating meat and drinking. The deputy general, Gongsun Yi, made a clicking gesture. Sima Wangzu shook his head and said in a low voice, "Listen to what they have to say first." ”

There were more than a dozen soldiers of the Qin army around the bonfire. Suddenly, a soldier asked in a loud voice, "If you are transferred back to Xianyang." The rebellion of the princes, who do you intend to support? ”

"Gongzi Fu has the support of Chu people such as Mi Bazi, and Gongzi Zhuang has the support of Qin Huihou, Qin Wuhou and the Qin clan. The Qin country is a mess, so I don't want to smoke the excitement. If you're not careful, you choose the wrong person, and you're going to lose your head. It's still comfortable here, and no one cares about drinking and eating meat. ”

Another soldier said: "The princes are calling back and forth, and it is not us who suffers. ”

The man looked up at a full moon hanging in the sky, and sighed: "The martial king is majestic, but who knew that he died suddenly. King Wu had no heirs, and he did not designate who was the king of Qin. Under the instigation and provocation of others, the princes all thought that they could be the kings of Qin. This is why there is the rebellion of the princes. I thought that Qin had Empress Hui and Empress Wu presiding over the overall situation, and there were left prime minister Gan Mao and right minister Ying Ji in charge. It stands to reason that the heavens of the Qin State will not be chaotic. Who knew that Empress Hui imprisoned Zuo Xiang Gan Mao and killed Meng Ben and Wu Huo. As a result, the army of Yiyang did not listen to the orders of Empress Hui and Empress Wu. Mi Bazi also came out to fight for the throne for his son, and the Qin State was even more chaotic. Alas, I really miss the time when King Hui and King Wu were reincarnated, and the soldiers of Great Qin were invincible. Now, the soldiers of Great Qin do not crusade against the princes to the outside world, but kill their own people, which is sad! ”

One cursed, "Yes! The whole world of Qin was tormented by women. ”

The man snorted coldly and agreed, "Mi Bazi is the concubine of the first king, and her position is not high. actually had the courage to rise up to confront Empress Hui and Empress Wu. What a woman! It's not easy. ”

A soldier asked, "My lord, Mi Bazi is really a descendant of the Chu royal family. ”

The wine that the man had just drunk spit out, "If the eighth son is a descendant of the royal family, King Hui will make her the eighth son, this is not a slap in the face of the Chu State." The top and bottom of the Chu State can endure this breath. Mi Bazi said that he was a descendant of the Chu royal family, but he was just putting gold on his face. ”

Everyone nodded.

One of them asked again: "My lord thinks Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Zhuang, who is suitable for King Qin." ”

"Gongzi Fu is a small broken child, not a grandson, not a long man, not a virtuous, and no military merits. His mother's status is also the eighth son. How can a man born of humility be king? Gongzi Zhuang took Empress Hui as his mother, his status was noble, he had military exploits, and the Qin clan supported him. King Wu went to Korea to win the Zhou Chamber, and the safety of Xianyang, King Wu also asked him. Who do you say is more suitable for the king of Qin? ”

Everyone said in unison: "Of course, Gongzi Zhuang is more suitable." ”

"My lord, Mi Bazi's status is low, how can he compete with Empress Hui. Adults think it will be a long time before this turmoil ends. ”

King Wu succeeded to the throne and broke the Five Kingdoms, and then pacified the Shu Rebellion, cut down the Yiqu, and became famous, causing him to be too confident. No, how could the Qin State fall into civil strife. What a turmoil! It will continue for a long time. ”

"My lord thinks that in the battle for the throne, who will be the final winner between Empress Hui and Mi Bazi."

"Huihou is virtuous, and Wuhou lacks decisiveness. But there was the support of the clan and the Wei state. Mi Bazi seems to be gentle, but in fact he is vicious in his heart. There is also the assistance of the ministers of Chu origin and the state of Chu. It's really hard to determine who wins or loses at the moment. If Mi Bazi wins, in order to consolidate his powerful position, he will kill all the people in the clan. The Qin clan will be wiped out. ”

One person said angrily: "Qin's internal turmoil, what is the right minister doing." ”

The man sneered: "Now you finally understand, when King Wu was alive, why didn't he take his uncle as the left minister?" The right minister can fight well, but he can't check and balance the situation of the Qin dynasty. ”

One shouted, "The general's wine is gone, it's almost full." ”

The other person asked while adding wine: "In the rebellion of the princes, all the soldiers of the county have been transferred back. Once Yiqu, Hu and Zhao come over, what will we do! ”

"King Hui and King Wu beat the righteous canal and escaped to the prairie. Yiqu did not dare to covet the territory of the Qin State. Zhao Guo is promoting Hufu cavalry shooting, and he will not attack us. If Zhao Guo really had the intention to take advantage of Qin's internal strife to regain the lost territory, Zhao Guo would have done it a long time ago, so why wait until today. As for the Hu people, it is our biggest hidden danger. There are nearly 30 euphores in Shangjun, and the defensive force is less than 20,000. The Hu people marched south and broke through more than a dozen yi. Xianyang is not increasing troops, and Shangjun is not safe. A few years ago, the Hu people dared to covet the territory of Great Qin, and they had already been wiped out. Now, the children of the clan are vying for power, where will they govern the county. ”

One person shouted: "My lord, Xianyang doesn't care about us." We can also repel the Hu people and regain our territory. ”

"Repel the Qin people and regain the territory." The man sneered and said, "In the face of the attack of the Hu people, it would be good if we could defend it." You are still delusional in recovering your territory and making great achievements. Let's be honest! There were less than 5,000 combatants in Shangjun. Three thousand of them were to guard against the Hu people continuing to move south. Shangjunsai and other neighboring five Zhouyi have a total of less than 500 people. With this little force, go and fight against the Hu people, you have enough to live! ”

"Shangjun has such a small number of troops, what should we do if Zhao Guo and the Hu people call."

"What else can I do, run for my life."

"Qin Lu, my lord knows. If we escape. Once the king learns of it, he will destroy our family. ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The man smiled and said, "It's been a long time since there was no king in the Qin Kingdom. The current state of Qin is not the state of Qin before. Today, I've said enough. ”

"My lord, if you want to drink more, go to the cold."

"I can't drink it anymore." The man threw away the wine bottle in his hand, "If the Hu people go south, Zhao Guo will cross to the west." I'm drunk, how can I run. ”

Sima Wangzu heard the conversation of the Qin soldiers and signaled the soldiers to prepare for the attack. At this time, five Qin soldiers walked frivolously and came to the shore. The man in the middle saw the people on the left and right falling into the river back and forth, and teased: "You are drunk, and you plan to jump into the river to sober up?" ”

The sound was swallowed up by the night. The man shouted a few times, but no one answered. Suddenly, he also realized that the situation was not right. Suddenly, a strong wind came to my ears. The man was hit by an arrow and fell into the river, causing a large splash. Qin Jun heard the sound of falling into the water and shouted several times, but no one answered. The person led by the Qin army suddenly felt that something was wrong, and ordered people to fire several arrows into the darkness. There were several miserable cries in the darkness. Subsequently, many arrows were fired at the Qin army's position in the dark. When the man saw that the man next to him had been hit by an arrow, he shouted, "The enemy is attacking." ”

The Qin troops on the banks of the river did not resist and fled far away.

Sima Wang's clan did not expect to capture the riverbank ferry without much effort, leaving behind a thousand soldiers to build a pontoon bridge for the army to cross the river. He led 2,000 soldiers to capture Shangjunsai. Along the way, the Qin army did not resist, and the Shangjun Fortress was broken in less than half an hour. Sima Wang led the army to attack Pingzhou, Yangzhou, Gaonu, and Huangcheng. When Qin Jun saw that Zhao Jun's costume was mistaken for the Hu people, he did not resist and fled south.

As the sky grew brighter, Zhao Jun had already built ten pontoon bridges. Zhao Yong led 30,000 iron cavalry who had crossed the river to raid Shangjunsai, and saw Sima Wang's clan greet him under the city.

"Sima Wang's family has done a good job." Zhao Yong said again: "Wang clan, go with the widows to attack the Qin army in Pingzhou, Yangzhou, Gaonu and other areas. ”

"Your Majesty, these places have fallen into the hands of our army."

Zhao Yong was shocked: "What did you say." ”

Fei Yi, Zhao Xie, Zhao Gu and others were also shocked when they heard this. Originally, it was thought that after crossing the river, there would be a battle to the death. How do you know, these places have been breached. At that moment, Sima Wang's clan also told the story of what happened last night in detail.

Zhao Yong was overjoyed when he heard this, and rewarded Sima Wang and everyone else.

Zhao Xie said: "Your Majesty, the Qin State has no owner, and the Qin army has poor combat strength. Why don't we go all at once, conquer Shangjun, and go south to break through Hexi. ”

Many soldiers seconded the proposal.

Fei Yi saw that there was arrogance in the army, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Qin's internal turmoil has led to the weakness of Shangjun's troops, so we have a chance." The defenders of Shangjun are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat strength is naturally poor. Seeing that the defense of the upper county of Qin was weak, the Hu people took the opportunity to go south and seize a large territory. The Qin army also thought that they were Hu people, so they fled without resistance. The power of the Qin State is still not to be underestimated, and we cannot be careless. ”

Tian Buli also said: "We take back the territory, and the Qin State can't say anything when it learns about it." Once we attack Hexi, Qin Zhao is bound to become a mortal enemy. We must not forget the nearly 100-year war between Wei and Qin. ”

Le Yi saw Zhao Jun motioning for himself to speak, and arched his hand: "This time, we can successfully recover the territory. It was because of Qin's internal strife that he had no time to take care of Daijun. If the Qin State loses Hexi, it will cause panic among the Qin people. When Qin's civil strife ends, Hexi will be recaptured. Zhao State is not enough to fight with Qin State at the moment. Your Majesty, we should attack Hudi in the north to expand our territory, and we should not attack Hexi in the south and become mortal enemies with Qin. ”

Zhao Yong synthesized everyone's opinions and said: "This time the army is outnumbered, one is to recover his territory and comfort the dead; The second is to go north to attack Hu, seize good horses, and train iron horses. The road of Wei, how can a widow walk it again. ”

Zhao Gu asked: "The king means to go north to seize the territory of the Hu people. ”

"I learned from where the Sima Wang clan captured the Qin army. The upper reaches of this great river are the gathering places of Linhu. As we go up the river, we will meet Lin Hu. Zhao Yongbu issued a new combat order: "Zhao Xie led 10,000 soldiers from Lishi, went south to recover the lost territory, garrisoned Yangzhou and Gaonu, and arrived at the Great Wall to prevent the counterattack of the Qin army in Shangjun. Remember, you must not enter the territory of the Qin State, nor do you provoke the Qin army. Zhao Gu led 10,000 soldiers in Lin Cheng to garrison Huangcheng and Pingzhou to prevent a sneak attack by Yiqu. Zhao Ying led 3,000 soldiers from Yangyi and garrisoned Shangjunsai in case the Qin people cut off the return route of our army. Others, with the widows, went north and personally conquered Linhu. ”

The crowd spoke in unison.

"The northwest of the river returned to the embrace of the Zhao State. Father, you can rest in heaven. Soldiers who died for the country, you can turn your eyes open. Zhao Yong encouraged: "Everyone, go to the river with the widow to comfort the dead." We want to let them know that twenty years later, today, the land of Hebei will return! ”
