Chapter 818: The Aftermath of Changping

The battle of Changping shocked the Central Plains again!

It was like sounding the final death knell for the Central Plains and Hebei countries, and the most powerful Zhao State in the joint and vertical treaty to balance the Qin State was actually the first to enter Hebei before the Qin State, and the Wei State bore the brunt of the fall!

In the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping around the battle of Shangdang, more than 300,000 people were killed on both sides, and the 450,000 troops gathered by Zhao and Shangdang were almost killed in battle.

The battle of Changping, in which the two sides used the national fortune as a bargaining chip, ended in the crushing defeat of the Zhao State, and half of the 450,000 good men of the Zhao State threw their lives on the Changping battlefield, and the other half surrendered to the Qin State.

As a result, Zhao Guo was empty in ten rooms, and I don't know how many orphans and widows came out overnight.

After the Battle of Changping, Qin shocked China with the name of Gongsun Qi, and it was Gongsun Qi who handed over the surrender of Zhao in the Battle of Changping to Wang Yu, and he personally led 50,000 elite soldiers to capture Handan, the capital of Zhao State, which lacked soldiers and major generals.

Even though Gongsun Qi was a strategic marshal on the battlefield, he abided by the orders of the prince, so he had to lead his troops to retreat and defend Shangdang County, giving Zhao a chance to breathe.

Just when the turmoil of the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping shook the entire Central Plains to a crumbling situation, Qin Shaojunzheng was ordered to return to Luoyang by an edict from Luoyang.

On the extremely empty Xuanzheng Palace, the marble floor in November is now cold, and the crown prince has been kneeling here for three hours, and the chill that he felt cold to his bones before is now unable to feel any sensation with his numb legs.

"You know you're wrong!"

The voice coming from the throne in the palace was very cold, and Qin Shaojunzheng sounded three points of chill and two points of anger.

Since Qin Wang Yan reprimanded, there is no doubt.

Facing the royal father's questioning, Qin Shaojun's face was also very complicated, there was a trace of remorse, a trace of hatred, and a trace of cassia , but more of a perseverance, I saw that he clenched his fists, and there was no slightest relaxation, and Qin Shaojunzheng did not answer half a sentence to the prince's question.

"You have been smart since you were a child, and after you came back from traveling around the world, you are also a little more steady, even if you don't have any thoughts about Gu, but Lone can be sure that you don't understand when you go to the party, don't you understand when you return to Luoyang now!"

"Have you forgotten the old things between Wu and Yue, even if the countries of today are not as strong as Daqin, they are far stronger than the Yue country at that time, and they want to attack Handan, and they know why you stopped it, and they don't admit their mistakes!"

Qin Shaojunzheng still stubbornly knelt on the ground, and only replied: "It's not that the ministers don't know how to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but in fact, the battle of Qin and Zhao has already dragged down the grain stocks in Guanzhong and Shudi, and it is difficult to continue to attack Zhao again!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Wangyan restrained the anger on his face, but looked at Qin Shaojun very sneeringly and said, "It's really difficult for you to worry about food and grass!" ”

Then the conversation changed, and he said coldly: "If it weren't for the lonely sending someone to Gongsun Qi's camp to supervise, I'm afraid that now Gongsun Qi is going to kill the 200,000 Zhao soldiers under your secret instructions...... Zheng'er, you are really vicious! ”

When Qin Shaojun heard this, he didn't refute it, he stubbornly only stuck his forehead against the cold ground of the Xuanzheng Palace, and never said a word.

After kneeling like this for half an hour, Lin Yuyan put down the documents in his hand for review, and Fang Cai looked at Qin Shaojunzheng, and after examining it for a long time, Fang Cai let people carry over the stove, fox fur and cushion beside the prince.

Qin Shaojunzheng was stubborn, still kneeling, Qin Wangyan said, "Lonely is already allowing you to sit and talk", and he still stood still.

Qin Wangyan looked at the stubborn Qin Shaojunzheng, and finally sighed, I am afraid that before entering this Xuanzheng Palace, the prince had already thought through all the key points of these things, so at this time, although he did not admit his mistake in words, he did admit his mistake in action.

"You know that you have a pure heart, even if you act decisively, you can't do such a thing that hurts heaven and peace!" Qin Wangyan said again: "For the time being, I don't ask you who you were pampered by, but even if you won the battle of Qin Zhao Changping this time, but your performance after the war, you made Gu very disappointed, even if it was a big victory, it was also greatly discounted in Lone's mind!" ”

"Gonggao is indeed the lord of shock, but Zheng'er, you haven't thought about being jealous or worried about the loyal and good generals, who is the lord who works hard and has high merit? I'm afraid that he is not even a tyrant, but just a mediocre and inaction! King Qin said earnestly: "Even if you want to check and balance the court, you must also remember that the loyal generals who have worked hard to expand the territory of the lonely Great Qin...... By no calculation and persecution! ”

"Zheng'er, do you understand?"

Qin Wangyan's last question made Qin Shaojunzheng's heart shake, and he carefully recalled the words of the prince's father, and after a long time, Qin Shaojun's political side nodded heavily and responded: "Erchen understands, this is the only time in this life, not an example!" ”

"As for this matter, Lone no longer blames you, and as for the gap between you and Gongsun because of this matter, you can also bridge it yourself!" Qin Wangyan finally closed his eyes, leaned on the throne, and pretended to sleep: "As for how to be the master of the people, whether you learn the emperor's mental skills, or the power checks and balances, you can decide by yourself, if you are lonely, you can retreat." ”

Hearing this, the crown prince bowed again, and kneeling for a long time made Qin Shaojunzheng's legs numb and difficult to walk, so he had to recruit two attendants to support him and retreat.

Zhang Lu returned to Luoyang with the young monarch, and entered the palace Xuanzheng Hall in the morning, until the afternoon there was no trace, the gate of the Duke of Qin was closed, and Qin Wangyan also ordered to prohibit the secretaries from entering the Hajj to see.

Zhang Lu, who couldn't help but think about it, was also a trembling Hou outside the main gate of the Qin Palace for most of the day, and it was not until dusk that he saw the young monarch come out, but with the support of the two attendants.

Seeing this, Zhang Lu thought at first that Qin Wangyan had tortured Shaojunzheng, and Zhang Lu's heart was also beating wildly, but in the end, he walked in front of Shaojunzheng with legs filled with lead, and hurriedly asked: "Why did Shaojun come here?" ”

Shao Junzheng's legs had already regained some sense, and when he saw Zhang Lu as the "culprit", he thought of Fang Cai's previous admonition from his father, although his heart was fluctuating, but he was quickly swept away, and he replied without the slightest emotion: "It's okay, return to Shangdang with me, and continue to ask General Gongsun to attack Zhao Handan." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lu's heart froze, and even his face was a little unnatural, and he raised his head slightly to look at Shaojun Zhenggujing's unwavering eyes, and actually found a certain sense of familiarity.

I can't see through it!

Zhang Lu only noticed this feeling in Qin Wangyan's body, who could have expected that today's Qin Shaojunzheng's body also appeared!

This is what makes Zhang Lu very curious, but he has been in the palace for most of the day, how did he have such a change in nature!

The thought in his heart flashed, and Zhang Lu finally looked at the prince and asked tentatively: "Now that Guanzhong and Shu are short of grain, and this year's cultivation has also been delayed by the war, I am afraid that there will be no grain and grass for General Gongsun to fight." ”

Shao Junzheng let go of his reliance on the eunuch, ordered him to retreat, and walked slowly to the car by himself, without replying directly, Zhang Lu had to follow him honestly when he saw this.

Shaojunzheng got into the car and sat down, Fang Cai spread out the curtain of the car with his left hand and said to Zhang Lu: "In the Battle of Changping, 200,000 Zhao troops were captured, and all of them could be sold to the inner palace as slaves, converted into money and grain, to support General Gongsun Qi's attack on Handan again. ”

"It's just ......" Shao Junzheng's eyes looked at Zhang Lu, and said again: "In the two months that I heard about the suggestion of the right prime minister, let that Zhao general Li Mu defeat the Xiongnu tribe that the Great Qin soldiers and horses had finally attracted, and it was Zhao Ting who enabled Na Lianpo again, and now the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State are united, and the countries have also reacted, I am afraid that the difficulty of attacking Handan at this time has exceeded that of two months ago, more than a hundred times......

After speaking, Shao Junzheng lowered the curtain of the car and told the groom in front of the car to hurry.

It's just that Zhang Lu heard Shaojunzheng's words, although he didn't obviously blame himself, but it made Zhang Lu feel a little awe of this Qin Shaojun, and he didn't have anything else to answer, so he had to respond: "The subordinates are naturally trying their best to plan to help General Gongsun break Zhao!" ”

The carriage that Qin Shaojun was riding in drove slowly, and Zhang Lu faintly heard "That's good".

After the car in front of him passed, Zhang Lufang's eyes changed for a while, he didn't know what he was thinking, seeing that Qin Shaojun's car had already gone away, Fang Cai came back to his senses, and finally extinguished the little vain thought in his heart, boarded his car, and rushed along Qin Shaojun's car.
