Chapter 362 [Will Not Be Affected by the Orders of the Monarch Outside]
It is already the third watch, and the Liyang Palace is still brightly lit.
There were no ordinary chamberlains and palace maids around, only Bu Rongyi sat on the side, nervously and a little excitedly looking at the pair of monarchs and brothers who were drinking.
It's not the Bai family's high-grade liquor, this kind of wine is good, but it's a pity that if you don't drink too much, it will be intoxicating, and it can't highlight the heroism of the man; Yingquliang and Bai Dong drank the traditional Qin old wine, the wine syrup is like milk, thick white and sweet glutinous, and it is only after drinking five or six bowls that you can feel it, and if a man with a height of seven feet is interested, he can be a tiger hero who can do eighteen bowls in a row.
Seeing that Fan Bo brought another jar of hot wine, Yingqu Liang motioned for him to sit down as well, and pointed at Bai Dong with a smile and said, "Fan Bo, do you think this kid still looks like the world-famous Bai Zi?" is so twisting, hesitating, and undecided, it's really a daughter's family. Fan Bo, you say, should this battle be fought? Do you want to save Handan? ”
Fan Qiang glanced at the two secret letters spread out on the low table, shook his head and smiled: "The king and Bai Zuo are discussing things, how can the old minister interject?" ”
"You are the closest and most respected courtier of the widow, after Jing Jian went to the Zuo Governor's Mansion, you are also taking care of the affairs of the intelligence department. Fan Bo, tell this kid, what is the strength of our old Qin now? Is it possible to fight in the first battle? ”
"Lao Qin originally had 60,000 elite soldiers and 130,000 tun troops, and if he raised the country's troops, it would be about 200,000 people, but in the past three years, Lantian has trained 30,000 elite recruits, and after the Yiqu King surrendered, Lao Qin can call about 20,000 Yiqu troops, and calculated, there should be 240,000 troops."
"Fan Bo is still a little less, Lao Qin has passed through the Western Regions for most of the past half a year, and tens of thousands of Rong people have migrated to Qin for the people, and they are either working or dividing the fields. Most of them brought their families; Since the Legislative Department issued the "Rongren Award Law", they only need to join our army and can make meritorious contributions. You can also be awarded a golden reward, and there are now 8,000 soldiers in my Qin army. All of them are ready-made good soldiers, and with a little training, they are usable troops. There is also the former Yongyi elite cavalry, after the rebellion of Meng Xibai, these elite cavalry have been controlled by the national government, stationed in the area of the old Qin Western Xinjiang, if carried by boat, it will arrive in Liyang in three or five days, which is at least 20,000 people! ”
The more Yingqu Liang said, the more excited he became: "If it weren't for the letter from the west. I'm afraid that the widow will still be unable to make up his mind to use troops against the Wei State, and now it seems that the fourth brother, your trouble, is not only buying time for Lao Qin, but also giving us a big opportunity! Pang Juan and Long Jia took away 200,000 Wei warriors, Handan attacked for half a year, and these 200,000 people have become tired divisions; Although Wei still has 200,000 soldiers who have not moved, it can be Lao Qin's nearly 300,000 troops, which is enough for a battle! Fourth, you fought beautifully in the battle of Yiqu, if I hand over the army of the country to you. How sure are you? ”
"If Sun Bin leads the troops, or is fifty or sixty percent sure, I and I don't even have one percent certainty" Bai Dong was a little crying and laughing, did the second brother regard him as a superman? Who is Pang Juan? Such a character uses soldiers. Even if it is a year of siege, it will definitely maintain the combat effectiveness and morale of the soldiers, how can the so-called tired army be said? The current Wei State is three points stronger than the Wei State in the Battle of Guiling in history. Even if he knew the way to save Zhao from Wei Wei, how easy would it be to break through hundreds of thousands of Wei troops to reach Daliang? The second brother was carried away by an army of 300,000. Think you can conquer the world with an army of 300,000? Now is not the era of Qin Mugong, with five divisions and 50,000 people, you can dominate the world.
"What if Sun Bin is your senior brother? Isn't it to honestly navigate the Western Regions under Bai Zi's arrangement? The widow knows Heian Lang's ability. You say that you are not one percent sure, but in fact, you are eight or nine percent sure. It's so decided, you come to be the general of the Zhao army, and the widow believes that you will be able to win and break the Wei army! ”
"Me? Second brother, my good second brother, I'm really not good, wow! ”
"If the widow says you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you have to do it!"
Yingqu Liang smiled, picked up the two secret letters on the low table and raised them at Bai Dong: "Fourth, Yu Huaxi is a person who does what he says, so even for the sake of Fleas and my good brother, Qin Guo will definitely fight this battle." What's more, this is no longer your business alone, although the Zhou royal family is declining, even Wei Ying has to be respected, at least nominally it is still the co-lord of the world, although you are a well-known white son in the world, and you have been rewarded by the king's order, but you can't take on this matter, don't say it's you, even the widow and Lao Qin can't afford it. Why did Wei Ying attack Zhao and covet the position of the overlord of the world? It's just to be a 'king' name, although your second brother is not talented, and Lao Qin is weak, don't you want to meet the king of the alliance and be recognized by the Zhou royal family? You're going to help me! ”
"Me"
"Uncle Bai, sister-in-law doesn't believe in Sun Bin Pang Juan, nor does she believe in Mozi Confucius, sister-in-law believes in you alone; Before you met you, you had secretly met with Doctor Shang and the generals in the army, and heard that the Qin State was going to send troops to aid Zhao, and everyone was going to oppose it, but when you heard that the king was going to appoint you to lead the army, although there was opposition, it was not so fierce. The secret letter sister-in-law of the bird slippery west also read it, even if you are not for Lao Qin and your second brother, aren't you for the flea sister? ”
Bai Dong understood why Yingquliang wanted Bu Rongyi to sit late at night, it turned out that the means of 'lady diplomacy' had been used by some people as early as the pre-Qin era, but the king of a country and the mother of a country were sitting in front of him, all looking at him with blank eyes, how could he deal with himself? To fight or not to fight, to say that there is no one percent certainty is false, two or three percent is enough? Except for Mu Zhongtu, the first big battle he commanded was to face Pang Juan, the number one general in the world, should he think of a way to deceive Senior Brother Sun, who was far away in the Western Regions, to be a helper? Think about it or forget it, now Sun Bin and Pang Juan have a deep relationship, and they may not be able to help anyone at that time
"Anyway, this matter always starts with me, since the second brother is going to fight with the Wei State, what if I become this general? However, the second brother must promise me three conditions, otherwise I will not do it. ”
"Hahaha, I know that you have a way to deal with Pang Juan, as long as you can break the Wei army, don't say that there are three conditions, even thirty widows will promise you." Yingqu Liang laughed, in his eyes, his fourth brother is a 'superman', unless the fourth brother doesn't do it, as long as he is willing to do something, he will inevitably succeed, Pang Juan is in trouble this time.
"First, the Qin State can't send troops to the country, I only need 150,000 people at most, and 100,000 can be done."
"As long as there are 150,000 people, are you crazy? The Wei State has a million armor, regardless of the average combat power, there are 400,000 elite Wei soldiers in the world alone! If it weren't for the Zhao State to contain 200,000 soldiers, even if the outnumbered army was exhausted, it would definitely be defeated, but you only need 150,000 people? Yingquliang looked at Bai Dong like a madman.
"I want 150,000 people, don't you want more, the second brother will say it, then it will be reduced to 100,000? However, these 150,000 soldiers must be under the age of twenty-five, the Lantian New Army wants to give it to me, the Yongyi Jingcai wants to give it to me, and the 8,000 Rong soldiers also want to give it to me, can the second brother agree? ”
"Okay, the second brother will promise you! I want to see what kind of surprise your kid can bring to Lao Qin this time. ”
"It's not necessarily a surprise, maybe it's a surprise."
Bai Dong shook his head and said: "The second condition is that no matter how I fight this battle, the second brother is not allowed to ask, that is, the news of my loss and humiliation of the country comes from the front line, as long as I do not withdraw from the army, and if I do not return, the second brother will not be able to accept it." I want my second brother to give me a promise - 'I will not be subject to the king's life outside'! ”
"Hahaha, a good 'will be outside the king's life', although this battle has not been fought, Ping An Lang is already in the chest! The widow promises you! The 150,000 army was handed over to you, just like the Bai family's private soldiers, even if you defeated the 150,000 army, no one would interfere! ”
"Thank you, second brother, but brother, I really don't have any big momentum, so I still have time to think about how to fight this battle, so the third condition is, when I send troops, when to attack the enemy, and the second brother should not interfere, if I can't figure out how to fight this battle, I can't send troops to Zhao for half a year, and Handan falls, then it doesn't mean that I violated the king's order, I can only blame Zhao Chong's bad luck."
"What!"
Ying Quliang stared unconsciously, what kind of condition is this, do you have to be a general? (To be continued......)
