The Qin generals won the battle and took advantage of the Wei State and returned to Hedong County, avoiding the annihilation of the Qin army. Ying Ji returned to Xianyang and confessed: "Minister, it is not good to attack Zhao, please punish the king." ”

"Win the game, get up." Qin Wangsi raised his hand and said, "Your life is more important than anything else. ”

"The minister is guilty!" Win Ji knelt on the ground, and said bitterly: "The 100,000 army crossed the river to attack Zhao, and less than 70,000 people came back. Ask the king to chastise him. ”

"Ying Ji, Zhang Yi, Gan Mao, Wei Zhang and others stayed. The rest stepped back. ”

The ministers saluted and took their leave.

Qin Wangsi walked down the steps, helped up and encouraged: "It is a blessing that you can save my 70,000 army in a disadvantaged situation. The defeat of the attack on Zhao is also inescapable. The widows overestimated the strength of the Qin State and underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Zhao Clan. The widow forgot that Zhao Guo is also a descendant of the Zhao family. ”

Gan Mao arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Zhao State." ”

Qin Wangsi waved his hand and asked, "Of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, which country is the most difficult to fight." ”

Gan Mao didn't expect the king to ask such a question, and he was speechless.

"Wei's national strength is higher than that of Han and Zhao. Wei Wushu has been rampant in the world for decades, and the princes dare not compete for power. The Wei State relied on Wei Wushu to establish the hegemony of Wang Tu. Today, the king of Wei is trying to dominate the industry, which is not as brilliant as it was back then. However, the Wei State had the foundation of fighting for hegemony and the princes. Zhang Yi suddenly said: "The minister thinks that among the three Jin Dynasty, Wei is the most difficult to fight. ”

Qin Wangsi didn't comment, and asked with a smile: "You all mean this." ”

Gan Mao and Wei Zhang arched their hands and said: "Qin Xiang's words are reasonable. ”

Qin Wangsi stopped his gaze on Winning Illness and asked, "Winning Disease, do you also have this idea?" ”

Ying Ji hesitated for a moment, and Fang said: "The former ministers also thought like this. ”

"The widow is asking now."

"Zhao Guo."

"I don't dare to agree." Zhang Yi retorted: "Zhao can't win Qi in the east, Wei in the south, and Qin in the west. Even the Zhongshan Kingdom in the Northland, the Zhao Kingdom was helpless. However, the state of Wei lives in the middle of the world. There is Qi in the east, Han Chu in the south, Zhao in the north, and Qin in the west. The princes of the world, if they attack it en masse, they cannot destroy it. It is enough to see that Wei is the most difficult to fight. ”

Ying Jian thought for a moment, and said: "Qin Xiang's words are reasonable, but I still think that Zhao Guo is difficult to fight. ”

"The widow also thinks that Zhao is not easy to attack." Qin Wangsi said: "Zhao Guonai is a sleeping tiger, once he wakes up. How could the princes of the Central Plains compete with it. ”

Wei Zhang pondered the king's meaning and asked, "The king doesn't plan to attack Zhao." ”

"The outnumbered people attacked Zhao in order to contain Zhao and send troops to Yan State. By the way, he also sold a favor to Qi Guo. Qin Wangsi took a few steps and continued: "Today, my 100,000 troops crossed the river, defeated the garrison on the bank of the Zhao River, and captured Lin, Lishi and other places. However, the good times were short-lived. Our army is defeated by Zhao in the Valley of No Return. Subsequently, Zhao launched a full-scale counteroffensive. If it weren't for the victory of the army, he would take advantage of Wei and return to Hedong. My army of 100,000 will either bury Zhao Di or bury the belly of the fish. Today's Zhao Jun is bold and courageous, much like a young man. I poured my troops into attacking Zhao. Zhao Jun will also resist with all the troops of the country, and is not willing to sue for peace. Win the descendants of the surname, not afraid of war, rather for the broken jade than for the tile. ”

Zhang Yi opened his arms and asked, "Your Majesty, 30,000 soldiers of our army will bury Zhao Di." We will not avenge this revenge. ”

Qin Wangsi said with a straight face: "Qin and Zhao can't coexist, and there will be a decisive battle of life and death." ”

"With the national strength of Zhao, it would be good to win against Wei." Gan Mao sneered, "How can it be my Qin State's opponent." ”

"It's not that my Qin State couldn't win the Wei State back then, and I was also despised by the princes of the Central Plains." King Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "Sooner or later, the Zhao State will be proud of the princes and become the most important opponent of my Qin State to fight for the world." Zhao Jun is here, and we can't take advantage of Zhao. Let's make peace with Zhao Guo! ”

Gan Mao was puzzled: "My country is a strong country, how can we make peace with Zhao State." ”

Zhang Yi thought about it and agreed: "Minister, advocate peace with Zhao Guo." ”

Ying Jian also said: "We have been fighting with Zhao Guo for three years, and it is time to make peace." ”

"It's good that Qin is a strong country. If you rely on the strength of the country, you will not make friends with the princes. Today's Wei is my Qin State in the future. Qin Wangsi looked at everyone, his eyes were pale, "Zhao is not the enemy of Qin. Qin and Zhao can't fight to the death. Zhao Jun is a person who can't figure it out, and it's also frightening. The widow doesn't want to be an opponent with someone like Zhao Jun. ”

Wei Zhang said: "Zhao Jun, who is only twenty-six years old, is not worthy of becoming the king's opponent." Although Zhao Jun has courage and courage, he is not enough to be afraid. Zhao Jun is too young. ”

"Twenty-six years old, what a desirable age. It is precisely because Zhao Jun is young that the widow is afraid. King Qin frowned and said: "Zhao Jun is assisted by virtuous ministers and famous generals." In time, not only the widows will be afraid, but the princes of the world will also change color. The widow made peace with Zhao Jun in order to reduce one enemy for the Qin State. The widow did not want to be an enemy of the Zhao State. ”

"The king is right." Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "Zhao State is not the enemy of Qin State, and Zhao Jun is not the opponent of Wang Shangdi. Our opponent is the state of Chu. ”

"Not bad." King Qin said: "The widow has obtained thousands of miles of land in the three kingdoms of Tho, Shu and Ba. But to connect the Qin State with the Land of the Three Kingdoms, we have to seize the Chu State and Hanzhong. The widow got Bashu, and the next thing is to peek at Chu. ”

Hearing this, Ying Jian took a breath and said, "The king is planning to start a war with the Chu State. ”

"Exactly." King Qin's eyes were undoubted, he was planning to start a war with the Chu State.

An inexplicable fear emerged in Ying Ji's heart, with the strength of the Qin State, could he start a war with the huge Chu State? The king's move will bring the Qin State into danger. Ying Jian swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, stabilized his mind, and said anxiously: "Qi and Chu are better, if the king starts a war with Chu, he will have to deal with Qi and Chu." Please think again. ”

"In the past, the king of Chu framed me for stealing jade. Today, I will steal the land of Chu. Zhang Yi said disappreciatively: "Qi Chu is an ally, but the gap between the two countries is very deep. Chen, wishing to go to the state of Chu, there is a saying that the king of Chu will drive a wedge between the two countries of Qi and Chu. ”

"There's no hurry." Qin Wang Si said: "Before the widow and the Chu state go to war, we must first separate the relationship between Han and Chu. ”

Zhang Yi said: "The king wants to attack Korea. ”

"Gongsun Yan is in South Korea. If this person is not removed, it will be difficult for the Qin country to be safe! If this person is here, he will not succeed in dividing the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Han. ”

Wei Zhang asked, "Zhao Guo, don't we care?" ”

"The State of Qi has broken the Kingdom of Yan." The corners of Qin Wangsi's lips smiled and said: "The widow believes that if the Qi State wins the Yan State, Zhao Jun will be more anxious than the widow." ”

"We make peace with Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guo will pay attention to the affairs of Yan Guo." Zhang Yi bowed his head and said: "If the Qi State gains the strength of the Yan State, it will not be a good thing for my country and the Zhao State. Zhao Jun saw that the country of Yan was in danger of extinction, so he would do his best to intervene in the country of Yan and prevent the state of Qi from swallowing the country of Yan. In this way, Qi and Zhao will fight each other. Whether the final result is Qi or Zhao wins. The biggest winner is my Qin State. The king plans to make Qi Guo the opponent of Zhao State, this move is really high! ”

"Zhang Yiye, who knows me." Qin Wang Si smiled and said, "Zhao Jun is a terrible opponent, and the widow doesn't want to provoke him. The widow let the king of Qi provoke Zhao Jun. The states of Qi and Zhao became rivals. The widow can send troops to South Korea, divide Han Chu, and drive away Gongsun Yan. Subsequently, he divided Qi Chu and fought for the world with Chu State. ”

......

Zhao repelled Qin and regained lost territory. However, the Qin State attacked Zhao, and the Zhao State lost the old general Lin Xing of Lin Cheng and the general Zhao Zhuang of Lishi. Although Zhao Guo won, there was not the slightest joy on everyone's faces. In this battle, Zhao also paid a heavy price.

Xiangbang Gongzi Leopard and Dasi Kou Gongzi Cheng led the officials of Handan Baishi to go out of the city for hundreds of miles to meet the triumphant army of Zhao.

Zhao Yunshu, the lord of Jinyang County, and Gongzi Xie, the Shou of Shangdang County, led the army in front, and saw Xiangbang and others coming to greet them and stop the army from advancing. Zhao Bao didn't see the joy of victory from everyone, but more sadness. Zhao Bao looked at the crowd for a while, but he didn't see his son. For some reason, Zhao Bao felt uneasy in his heart, "Minister, please see your majesty." ”

Zhao Yong personally got out of the car and stepped forward to help him up, "Xiangbang, you have worked hard." ”

Zhao Bao replied: "This is a matter within the minister's duty, and I dare not say bitterness." ”

Zhao Yong bit the corner of his lip lightly and said sadly: "Xiangbang, the widow is sorry for you." ”

When Zhao Bao heard this, he chuckled in his heart, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

"Widow, didn't protect Zhao Zhuang." Zhao Yong arched his hand and said: "Please mourn on the Xiangbang Festival." ”

When Zhao Bao heard this, his face was calm and asked, "Where is Zhuang'er's corpse now?" ”

Zhao Yong closed his eyes slightly and pointed back.

Zhao Bao looked in the direction Zhao Jun pointed out for a while, took a heavy breath, moved his heavy steps, and staggered forward.

Against the backdrop of the sun, Zhao Bao's figure was lonely and lonely, and he looked thin. Zhao Yong suddenly felt that Xiangbang was ten years old, and he couldn't suppress the pain in his heart, and he screamed with grief. Seeing that Xiangbang was unstable, the central official Mu Jian stepped forward to help. Zhao Bao declined his kindness with his eyes. A person, step by step, walked towards the coffin.

Seeing this, tears overflowed from the corners of the soldiers' eyes, and no one made a sound to disturb the old man.

Zhao Bao stepped forward, held the coffin, and said with a smile: "Zhuang'er, my father is late." Father is taking you home now. ”

When everyone heard this, they sighed and burst into tears.

Zhao Yong raised his arm and said sadly: "Welcome General Zhao Zhuang home." ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Welcome General Zhao Zhuang home." ”

The voices of the people, like the momentum of the mountains and the tsunami, swept between the valleys outside Handan City, and could not be dissipated for a long time.

Zhao Yongyou said: "Welcome the strong man home." ”

"Welcome home."

"Let's go."

"Zhuang'er, let's go home." Zhao Bao screamed sadly, unable to extricate himself. Suddenly, a sweet smell welled up in his throat, and blood spurted out. Zhao Bao's vision from the corner of his eyes became more and more blurred, until he couldn't see anything in the end. But his face was serene, and the corners of his lips were smiling, as if to say... Zhuang'er, we're home. Did you see that?
