Chapter 281: Defeated
The howling north wind blew the first heavy snow in the Qin Kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe originally thick Xianyang City has also become a world covered in silver.
After October, the 300-mile Qinchuan River has obtained more harvests than before. At this time, it has only been two months, and the joy of the harvest has not yet passed.
And this auspicious snow makes everyone yearn for their future life even more.
The six kingdoms of the Eastern Cuisine, which were once strong, disappeared one by one in the hands of the current king. And the huge dividends brought by the war made the old Qin people who were not afraid of death red-eyed.
However, it was in this beautiful world after the snow that the news of Yandi's defeat was transmitted back to Xianyang City.
On top of the huge court hall, in the hollow stone pillars, the warm coals make this supposed cold hall like a spring day.
The officials, dressed in thick coats, had a fine layer of sweat on their heads. In the entire hall, there was a heavy sense of oppression.
And the source of this sense of oppression is naturally Yingzheng who is sitting on the top of the main hall at this time.
"Smack!"
The bamboo slips covered with military newspapers crossed a beautiful parabola in the main hall and landed in front of the blue water pool.
"200,000 elites, but they were defeated by the 80,000 weak Yan army. Lost 20,000 people, who can tell the widow who will bear such a record! ”
Ying Zheng's eyes were half-squinted, and on top of his cold face, there was a thick layer of frost.
As an old minister in the court and a close friend of the commander Wang Qian, Meng Wei glanced at the bamboo slips on the ground, arched his hand, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, this time our army was defeated, and it was really because of the Mo family's organs. When General Wang Jian was halfway across, he was attacked by the underwater beast Xuanwu.
After landing on the shore, he was attacked by the main force of the Yan army, and the trap beast White Tiger assisted from the side. This defeat is also a crime of non-war. ”
"Having said that, however, General Wang Jian also has a lot of responsibility......" As soon as Meng Fei's words fell, Xiong Qi also stood up and confronted him.
"Wang Jian has an army of 200,000 in his hands, facing the weak Yan army, he will advance lightly, even if the Yan army has received strong assistance from the Mo family, he will not be able to shirk his responsibility."
After the bead curtain, Ying Zheng's face did not change in the slightest. Slowly picked up a bamboo slip from the table again, and said: "This is Wang Jian's book of blame, everyone, there is no objection, right?" ”
"The ministers seconded it!"
All the ministers, whether they are the Chu family who support Xiong Qi, or the old Qin family and the Caidong family who support Meng Qi, at this time, they dare not disobey the meaning of Ying Zheng.
What's more, Wang Jian had already lost a battle, and Yingzheng just cut him off as the coach, which is really speechless.
After the ministers finished speaking, Ying Zheng said again: "The three armies cannot be without a commander for a day. Ordered Wang Ben to go north and take over the throne of Wang Qian. The division of the Great Liang was replaced by the deputy general Meng Wu. ”
"Whoa!" As a national lieutenant, Wei Yu, who is nominally in charge of the national army, nodded and responded.
As for Xiong Qi, he has no objection to this decision. Today's Chu family is absolutely weak, not to mention, now the famous generals in the court of the Qin State are like birds, and among the Chu family, no one can take on this great responsibility.
"Retreat!"
"Congratulations to the king!"
In the harem, Ying Zheng is handling government affairs as usual. Below, it is Li Si who is carefully teaching Fusu and Meng Yi. As for Meng Tian, he was already on the front line of Qin and Chu at this moment.
After destroying the Yan State, the next target of the Qin State was the Chu State.
What happened in the court, Yingzheng didn't care too much. Even, even the defeat of Yan State, Yingzheng did not take it to heart.
Although the Yan State achieved a certain victory this time, however, the combat effectiveness between the Yan army and the Qin army was not above the same level after all.
Moreover, because Yan Dan gave up holding on to the fortified city in order to sneak attack, he chose to fight with the Qin army in the field. Even if you get a small victory, you will definitely have a weak follow-up. As long as the Qin army can defeat the Yan army once, the Yan army, which has lost its fighting spirit, will definitely become a lamb under the sword of the Qin army.
What really bothered Ying Zheng was the Mo family with all kinds of strange tricks.
Although the Mo family's tricks can bring to Qin Jun, it is only a disease of ringworm and scabies, and it cannot affect the overall situation. However, Ying Zheng was worried that the Mo family would become the vanguard of the anti-Qin forces in the future by virtue of the great fame gained by fighting the Qin army at this time.
Moreover, because of Yingzheng's own rare trace of benevolence and righteousness, Yan Dan in the future can justifiably call on the remnants of all countries as the prince of Yan State, which is the most troublesome.
"Lees. What do you think of today's events? Ying Zheng, who was a little irritable, looked at Li Si on the side, and couldn't help but ask.
Li Si, who was teaching seriously, was slightly stunned, and then respectfully pleaded guilty to Ying Zheng: "General Wang Jian is defeated, and Li Si is half guilty. ”
Ying Zheng's eyebrows showed a hint of doubt.
"What do you mean?"
Li Si still lowered his head and bowed: "Li Si knew that the mastermind behind Jing Ke's affair that day was Prince Yan Dan, but for his own foolishness, it was my Great Qin who left such a disaster. ”
Li Si's sudden admission of mistake made Yingzheng feel a little embarrassed, but he scolded: "Don't talk about these useless things, you know what the widow means." ”
"Whoa! The minister is guilty. Li Si saluted again, and then said: "In the opinion of the ministers, although the Yan army and the Mo family are now working together, the commander of the two is also Yan Dan. However, the Yan army is the master, while the Mo family is just a guest. ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Go on." ”
"Now my 200,000 army, although it has experienced some setbacks, but for my Great Qin Ruishi, it is still within the acceptable range after all. In a frontal battle, the Yan army must not have a chance of winning.
However, if our army defeats Yan Dan with an upright army, the world can only remember the defeat of the Yan army and the defeat of the Yan country, but they will forget the defeat of the Mo family. Even if you talk about it, you will think that the Yan army is weak, and it is not the crime of the Mo family. ”
A glimmer of light flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, and the body that was originally sitting upright involuntarily leaned forward a little.
I have to say that up and down the Qin State, Zhao Gao is the most popular. And thinking about it, it is Li Si who is the most.
In just a few words, it happened to scratch Ying Zheng's heart.
"So, what can I do about it?"
Li Si still bowed his head, not showing the slightest look of joy because his strategy was about to be adopted by Yingzheng.
"Back to the king, although Li Si is not a soldier, he also knows that soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. The Mo family can be famous all over the world, and the first is the Mo family's tricks. If you can defeat it on the battlefield with tricks, it will not only enhance the prestige of our Great Qin, but also make the reputation of the Mo family plummet. ”
Ying Zheng leaned slightly, sat up straight again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Aiqing's meaning, few people know!"
