Chapter 350: Fighting for Great Qin
The monarchs of Qi, Han, and Wei took the stage and made an oath to punish Qin and Kuang justice. The total number of troops of the Three Kingdoms Alliance was 250,000, and they slaughtered towards Hangu Pass.
When the Qin State learned the news of the Three Kingdoms' invasion of Qin, the whole country panicked, and the country was completely under martial law. The three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei invaded Qin, which was the third time that Qin faced a crisis of national destruction after the battle of Qin and Chu Lantian in addition to the five kingdoms initiated by Gongsun Yan and the battle of Lantian of Qin and Chu. At the same time, this is also the second time that the princes have joined forces to attack Qin.
Mi Bazi convened some important ministers to discuss countermeasures, how to solve the crisis of Qin.
At this moment, a eunuch shouted, "King Qin has arrived." ”
Everyone didn't expect King Qin to come uninvited, got up and saluted, and said in unison: "Minister, participate in the king." ”
The king of Qin raised his head and stood tall, his demeanor was calm, he walked towards Mi Bazi, and saluted: "The widow is confused, offending the princes of the world." Today, the three kingdoms of Qi, Han and Wei invaded Qin, and the situation is critical. I implore that the Queen Mother preside over the overall situation and solve the crisis of my Qin State. ”
Although Mi Bazi didn't know what King Qin meant by this, he was very relieved to see that King Qin knew that he could change his mistakes, and asked in a soft tone: "I am a woman, what can I do." ”
After a conversation last night, King Qin and Gongzi Fu had no mustard in their hearts. Gongzi Fu didn't expect that King Qin would be able to make major concessions for the sake of Qin, and said busily: "The princes are fighting Qin, the situation is critical, please ask the king and the queen mother to jointly preside over the overall situation." ”
Wei Ran, Qi Rong, Xiang Shou and other Qin ministers also felt that the king and the queen mother could unite the people and go to the national disaster together, so they shouted in unison: "Please ask the king and the queen mother to jointly preside over the overall situation." ”
The important ministers also said in unison: "Please ask the king and the queen mother to jointly preside over the overall situation." ”
Seeing that Mi Bazi did not speak, in order to dispel her concerns, the King of Qin said in a sincere tone, and blamed himself: "If it weren't for the widows despising the princes, the Qin State would not be in danger today." The widow succeeded to the throne for several years, thanks to the help of the queen mother. The Qin State was stable internally and was not bullied externally by the princes. The widow is inexperienced enough to deal with the princes, so he asks the queen mother to preside over the overall situation. ”
Mi Bazi didn't expect King Qin to say this, it seemed that he didn't know enough about this son, and asked: "I preside over the government for King Qin, won't King Qin have complaints?" ”
King Qin bowed and bowed, and said: "Everything depends on the queen mother, and the child has no complaints." ”
Mi Bazi didn't see the slightest dissatisfaction in King Qin's eyes, and he also saw that King Qin was sincere, and he didn't embarrass him, "Ji'er is the king of Qin, and Qin needs you." The queen mother is willing to help the princess, cope with the difficulties, and tide over the crisis together. ”
When King Qin heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "We can work together to tide over the difficulties together." ”
Mi Bazi invited the king of Qin to the main throne and sat on one side by himself.
Mi Bazi raised his hand and said, "King Qin, let's start!" ”
King Qin nodded and asked his ministers, "The three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei are coming, and you have a strategy to break the enemy." ”
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." One person raised his voice and said: "Gongsun Yan invited Chu, Han, Wei, Zhao, Yan, and all the people of the five countries to break my Han Valley." How can the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei break through my Hangu Pass. ”
There are a few more people who speak out to cater to them. They believed that the Qin State had the natural danger of Hangu Pass, and that the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei could not break the Qin.
The national disaster is coming, and these people are still silent in the past, complacent.
Gongzi Fu replied unceremoniously: "The five countries attacked me, not that the soldiers of the first country were inferior to our country, nor that the soldiers of the five countries were unfavorable." Our country was able to break the strategy of the five countries to destroy Qin, first, the protection of the gods; the second is the concerted efforts of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State; The third is that the princes are separated from morality. The alliance of Qi, Han and Wei swore that they would not punish the tyrannical Qin, uphold justice, and never withdraw from the army. The alliance of princes is not good, and we must not be unprepared. ”
"What Gao Lingjun said is good." Xiang Shou also said: "The five countries attacked me together, King Hui could not sleep well, and he was getting thinner and thinner, and he called on all the forces in the country to resist foreign enemies. There are Yan Jun, Zhang Yi and others, and Wu has Yinghua, Wei Zhang, Sima Cuo, Gan Mao and others. The rebellion of Ji Jun destroyed the accumulated talents of the three generations of monarchs of Qin Xiaogong, Qin Hui Wang, and Qin Wu Wang. We fought against the combined forces of Qi, Han, and Wei, and the odds of victory were not great. ”
One person objected: "The rebellion of Ji Jun has greatly damaged the national strength of the Qin State. However, we soon walked out of the shadow of civil strife, went east to Hangu, and attacked Han and Wei; went south and defeated the state of Chu four times. Great Qin Ruishi, why not fear the princes to attack. ”
Qi Rong and the Chu State were at war, so they naturally understood the horror of the Chu people, and the strength of Han and Wei was not weak to the point of being slaughtered by others, so he hurriedly said: "Without the main force of the Chu State to contain the princes of the Central Plains, how could we go east to Hangu and crusade against Han Wei." If it weren't for the battle of the Hanging Sands, the elite would have lost all the princes of the Central Plains, and the country would have been torn apart. How can we defeat the state of Chu four times? The Chu people should not be underestimated, and the strength of Han and Wei should not be underestimated. ”
Mi Bazi naturally knew that there was no Chu State to contain the princes of the Central Plains. How could the Qin State stabilize the situation, quickly get out of the shadow of Ji Jun's rebellion, and also go east to Hangu to attack Han Wei. Without the Central Plains princes defeating the main force of Chu at Chuisha, how could Qin defeat Chu four times.
The once powerful state of Chu suffered a great loss of national strength under the three combined blows of the alliance of Qi, Han and Wei. The state of Chu will end up in such a predicament today, and it will collapse. The alliance of Qi, Han, and Wei attacked Qin, and Qin's national strength was not as strong as Chu's, so it would be an opponent of the coalition army. In the face of the national disaster, Mi Bazi did not dare to be careless. This time is different from the past, how can she not know how the Qin State is.
Mi Bazi suppressed the uneasiness that surged in his heart and asked, "The Three Kingdoms Alliance, who is the commander." ”
Wei Ran replied uneasily, "Kuang Zhang." ”
"Kuang Zhang?" The King of Qin asked, "What kind of people are they?" ”
Wei Ran Zhengse replied: "Kuang Zhang has gone through the fields of King Qi Wei, King Xuan of Qi, and King of Qi, and is the patriarch of the three dynasties of Qi. This person attacked Qin, cut down the Three Jins, died Yan, and defeated Southern Chu, and made outstanding achievements. Kuang Zhang is known as the most capable general in Qi State. The king of Qi took Kuang Zhang as his general, which is enough to see that the Qi country is breaking Qin. ”
When King Qin heard this, he was shocked and said, "Kuang Zhang is really so powerful. ”
"The battle of the sand and the great destruction of the Chu army were all from the hands of Kuang Zhang. After this battle, the state of Chu collapsed. When Qi Rong heard that it was Kuang Zhang, his expression suddenly became nervous and said: "Kuang Zhang has once again become the commander of the coalition army and sent troops to attack our country." The situation is extremely unfavorable for my country. ”
The state of Qi took Kuang Zhang as the general, which was the second bad signal for the state of Qin.
Mi Bazi also heard the name of Kuang Zhang, frowned and said, "Who dares to face Kuang Zhang." ”
Kuang Zhang's prestige for being able to fight well has long been spread throughout the princes. Especially in the Battle of Hanging Sand, the defeat of the Chu State made him even more famous.
The rebellion of Ji Jun allowed the Qin state to recruit veterans who were good at fighting, or were killed, demoted, or exiled. Ying Ji, Zhang Yi, Ying Hua, Sima Cuo, Gan Mao, Wei Zhang and other fierce generals belonged to the era of King Qin Hui. Ren Wei, Wu Xu, Meng Ben and other fierce generals belonged to the era of King Wu of Qin.
The fierce generals left by King Qin Hui and King Wu of Qin were left alive only Sima Cuo, Ren Wei, Gan Mao, Wei Zhang and others. The famous generals represented by Sima Cuo are in Bashu; The fierce generals represented by Ren Contempt are in Hanzhong, guarding against the Chu State; The fierce generals represented by Gan Mao were implicated and fled from Qin because of the death of King Wu of Qin; The fierce generals represented by Wei Zhang were also suppressed by King Wu of Qin and did not know where to go.
Although Wei Ran, Qi Rong, Shu Changhuan and others were a group of young generals born in the Qin State. In the face of Kuang Zhang's unborn generals, they had no certainty of winning at all.
Seeing that everyone didn't dare to look at her, Mi Bazi felt uneasy in her heart, and asked: "Brother Ran, with you as the general, there is a chance of winning against Kuang Zhang." ”
Wei Ran hugged his fists and said: "The ministers will do their best to fight against Kuang Zhang and die for Daqin." ”
Mi Bazi was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and asked again: "I'm asking you what chance you have of winning, not that you want to die for Daqin." ”
Wei Ran said ashamedly: "There is no chance of winning." ”
Wei Ran said this, which made Mi Bazi realize that the situation was indeed not good, and his mood fell to the bottom.
If Wei Ran didn't have the confidence to fight against Kuang Zhang, who would dare to fight against him. Moreover, it is a matter of the survival of the country, and it is not reassuring to hand over the only army that can turn the tide to someone else. Mi Bazi tried his best to restrain the uneasiness in his heart, and took a few breaths of cold air slightly.
King Qin saw the generals in the palace and asked, "Great Qin, no one can fight against Kuang Zhang." ”
The crowd pleaded guilty: "Minister, incompetent." ”
Seeing this, King Qin also took a breath of cold air.
He imprisoned the king of Chu and attacked the state of Chu, and Qin and Chu completely broke up. intercepted and killed Jing Guojun and offended the Qi State. Attack Han and Wei, and make enemies with Han and Wei. The state of Qin offended Qi and Chu, plus Han and Wei. With one against four, Qin has no chance of winning.
Even if his father was alive, he could not face the two countries of Qi and Chu. At this time, the King of Qin finally realized that he had made a big mistake and put the Qin State in danger. The king of Qin finally understood why his father and Chu wanted to divide the alliance between Qi and Chu; Father and King of the Three Jins, why did he want to form an alliance with the Qi State. The state of Chu fell into such a predicament because there was no friend among the princes of the Central Plains.
The current situation of the Qin State is very similar to the Chu State, and there is no one who has any friends.
The Qin State has no nameless generals, defending against the princes, this is the deadliest and worst news.
Seeing that the danger was coming, King Qin's voice was a little sad: "There is no famous general in the country, how can he deal with the Three Kingdoms." My Great Qin died at the hands of the princes like this? ”
"King Qin, don't say such discouraged words." Although Mi Bazi knew that the unknown general of the Qin State would face the Three Kingdoms Alliance, he still said recklessly: "We have the natural danger of Hangu, and we only defend and do not attack. It is not so easy for the Three Kingdoms Alliance to break through Hangu and destroy our Qin State. Even if we are at war with the princes, we will not refrain from it, nor can we insult the wisdom of our ancestors. ”
Gongzi Fu also knew that the queen mother's words were to stabilize the morale of the army, appease the courtiers, and boost morale: "The queen mother said well. Although we can't meet the Three Kingdoms Alliance, we can hold the Hangu Pass, and the Three Kingdoms Alliance will not be able to destroy the Qin State. How can the prestige of a man surnamed Ying be disgraced in our hands? ”
King Qin said in a loud voice: "If the princes want to fight, we will fight." ”
The ministers of the Qin State also had the sound of the main battle, and they were about to fight with the princes.
"The herald issued an order, calling on all forces in the country to fight with the princes. Either the princes will die in our Qin country, or we will lose the princes. Mi Bazi shouted: "The princes deceive me too much, everyone, fight for Daqin." ”
"The man surnamed Ying is not afraid of war." King Qin also stabilized his mind and shouted angrily: "If the widow can't hold the territory of the ancestors, how can he be worthy of being a descendant of the surname Ying." The widow is willing to fight for the Great Qin, and he cannot insult the prestige of the ancestors. ”
Gongzi Fu raised his arms and shouted: "Fight for Daqin." ”
The important ministers also shouted angrily: "Fight for Daqin." ”
Mi Bazi dismissed the other ministers, leaving Wei Ran, Mi Rong, Xiang Shou and other confidants. Although King Qin didn't know what the queen mother's intentions were, he didn't speak.
Seeing that there was no one else in the main hall, Mi Bazi asked, "Wei Ran, how bad is the situation in this battle." Tell me about it, let me have a bottom in my heart. ”
Wei Ran concealed something just now, and now replied according to the truth: "If it is light, the Hangu Pass will be broken, and the land will be cut to seek peace; If it is heavy, the country will be ruined. ”
"The country is ruined?" Mi Bazi asked, "Qin Guo has really come this far. ”
Qi Rong hurriedly said: "Sister, Brother Wei, the situation is really bad to this point. ”
Mi Bazi nodded and said, "I trust Wei Ran's judgment. ”
"Even though the coalition army is huge, there is Kuang Zhang, a general who can fight well. We occupy Hangu Guantian Insurance. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. Gongzi Fu asked: "Is Uncle Wei Ran's judgment wrong?" ”
"It's not that I'm alarmist, it's worse than we thought." Wei Ran said miserably: "We imprisoned the king of Chu and dishonest princes; intercepted and killed Meng Weijun and offended the Qi State. We took advantage of the fact that the main forces of Han and Wei were attacking Chu, sent a letter to the valley to attack Han Wei, and occupied the territory of Han Wei. Han Wei never regarded us as friends, and always thought about revenge. The State of Qi took Kuang Fu the right path and exterminated the tyrannical Qin as the slogan, and Han Wei responded positively. We offended the four countries and started a war with them at the same time, but there was a chance of victory. ”
"Qin Qiqi and Chu are no longer opponents. Coupled with Han Wei, my country has no chance of winning. Even if we hold the Hangu Pass, how can we hold the Wuguan Pass. Mi Bazi took a breath and said slowly: "Qin is a nameless general, how can he fight against the Four Kingdoms. ”
"If it weren't for the lack of will." King Qin said guiltily: "The Qin State will not..."
"Brother Wang, now is not the time to blame yourself." Gongzi Fu comforted: "We should find a way to break the princes." ”
Mi Bazi took a deep breath and sighed: "If Zhang Yi is here, he will definitely be able to break the alliance of the princes." ”
Xiang Shou interjected: "Isn't there a chance to break the alliance of the princes." ”
"There is no famous general in the country, how can he deal with the conspiracy of the three kingdoms." Wei Ran sighed: "Zhao and Chu have also joined forces with the princes to attack me, and the situation in Qin is critical. ”
King Qin said: "After the Second Central Plains War, my country and Zhao State concluded peace, and they did not fight for more than ten years. Zhao will take advantage of the fire to loot and destroy our country. ”
"King Qin, I'll give you a word." Seeing that King Qin still had illusions about Zhao Jun, Mi Bazi said coldly: "The princes intersect, focusing on interests. Among the princes, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Today, all the princes of the world have been offended by the Qin State. If Zhao Jun does not join the princes, he will offend the princes of the world. How could Zhao State offend the princes of the world for the sake of Qin State. ”
"Zhao Jun is a person who is not easy to guess." Wei Ran was also uncertain, "If Zhao doesn't attack me, my country still has a chance to fight with the princes." If the Zhao State unites the princes, our country will be in danger. ”
Qi Rong said: "Brother Wei is too worried. Even if Zhao attacks me, my country has nothing to fear. ”
Gongzi Fu also said: "Although Zhao Jun is the king of the world, even if he joins the princes to attack me, we can also fight." ”
Xiang Shou said: "The first king can fight against Chu, Han, Wei, Zhao, and Yan with the power of a country, and we can also fight against Qi, Chu, and Zhao." Han, Wei. ”
Wei Ran looked ugly and said, "This time is different from the past. The occupation of the Hetao by the Zhao State has caused a overwhelming situation for our country. The three kingdoms of Qi, Han and Wei attacked Hangu Pass head-on, the soldiers of Chu State went out of Wuguan, Zhao State went south from the north, and Xirong took advantage of the fire to loot. We are locked in a battle on all sides, and the situation is critical. ”
Mi Bazi asked: "How can we solve this crisis of losing the country?" ”
Wei Ran thought for a moment and replied, "The enemy of our enemy is our friend. To solve the national difficulties, we sent envoys to form an alliance with Zhao, Yan, and Song to attack the princes of the Central Plains. The state of Qi is controlled by Zhao, Yan, and Song, and there will be worries. ”
Qi Rong asked, "We asked Yan and Zhao for help. How could Yan and Zhao offend the princes of the Central Plains for the sake of Qin. ”
Gongzi Fu also said: "Zhao Guozhi is destroying Zhongshan and opening up Hujiang, how can he save me." ”
Xiang Shou said: "If Zhao State does not save our country, Qin State will perish." ”
"The three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei destroyed the Qin state. The next step for Qi is to attack Zhao. Zhao Guo will not allow the Qi family to dominate and threaten his own interests. Wei Ran said: "If Zhao doesn't save Qin, and the princes will fight Qin, Qin will die." No matter how odd it is, let's give it a try. ”
"Wei Ran is right." Mi Bazi pondered for a moment, and then said: "We want to fight for the Zhao State and balance the Qi State." Even if Zhao was unwilling to balance Qi, he could not let Zhao join the princes to conquer Qin. No matter how good the chance of forming an alliance with Zhao is, we will give it a try. If you don't try, you won't have a chance, but if you try, there is still a chance to live. ”
King Qin asked, "In what name do we ally with Zhao?" ”
"To invite the building to slow down into Qin." Mi Bazi said sharply: "No matter what the outcome is, we must be ready to fight for Great Qin." ”
