Chapter 67: Qiaohai's Argument (I)
On a summer night, the sky full of stars flashes with a cold brilliance, in this summer season, people feel a little cool, five thousand Yi troops march quietly in the night, not to mention the noise and even the sound of utensils bumping, the mile-long procession is like a prehistoric python crawling in a meandering way, the scene is strange and terrifying, such a well-trained army is enough to make any opponent frightened,
He Ran followed the Chinese army on his horse without hurry, and after whispering a few military orders, he looked up at the starry sky, his expression was quite lonely,
What a good night, if you are in Zangxian Valley at this time, you must be in the courtyard with a few beauties to set up a table and taste the fresh fruits to spend the summer, how comfortable it is to talk and laugh, the more I think about these, the more tired of the days of the war, he sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that taking Dingyang is a big step forward, and the situation of Yi Guo will be much better with this strong city as a support, and if he can take the land of Zhao State and Sanchuan in the future, Yi Guo can be called a strong country, and he may be able to retire at that time,
He withdrew his gaze from the starry sky, looking at the queue in front of him with empty eyes, he was worried about the incompetent people at hand, who should be allowed to guard this side at that time, in terms of talent, Shi Lang is of course the best choice, but he does not want to fight with his homeland, he can't force him, Dongfang Ao, it is said that he can be called a good general who can take charge alone, but for some reason He Ran always feels that he is not suitable, He Hui, I'm afraid he can't afford to bear such a heavy burden, Su Ming has this ability, but the defense line of the Rolling Dragon River is inseparable from him, Kong Lin and others are still lacking, Although Wang Jin is an all-rounder, he has been following Xiao Xiao on a roaring path, if you want to sit on one side, you need to increase your training over time.
Thinking about it, it seems that only Xu Tong is suitable, but is he Jing Yuan's opponent, He Ran frowned slightly, and suddenly he smiled unconsciously,
Zhong Zheng, who was beside him, noticed the look of the military advisor and asked in a low voice, "What are you laughing at, my lord?" ”
He Ran shook his head and didn't speak, he was laughing at himself for thinking too far, even if Dingyang was won, Sanchuan was not easy to take, the vast territory would take a month or two even if he rode a horse, not only the terrain was dangerous, but also because of the rich natural resources, it was a place that the Zhao State must defend, how easy it was to get it all, even if the war went well, it would be three or five years later,
Insects chirped, and occasionally the howl of a beast was heard in the distance, He Ran pulled his thoughts back to Dingyang City again, this time the heavy troops were gathered here, the worry of wearing the barrel was justified, Xu Tong's side would lose support once it encountered a large-scale attack by the Zhao army, in case of being besieged along the way, there was a danger of annihilation of the whole army, he asked in a low voice where the army was, and then ordered the front army to speed up some more,
He Ran is not the only one who has not slept peacefully this night,
There are cars and horses galloping on the main roads leading from Dingyang to Jingqu City, and it is not easy to move the capital, although when Zhao Min was still a prince, he realized that Dingyang was no longer a place of peace, so as soon as he ascended the throne, he secretly actively prepared for the relocation of the capital, but this day was still much earlier than he expected, although there were preparations, but such a move to the capital also seemed too hasty,
Everyone else is rushing to Jingqu City, but Zhao Min quietly went to the northwest front, wanting to boost morale in person in order to counterattack, but what made him very frustrated was that there was a civil riot shortly after he arrived, and the planned counterattack had to be suspended.
Thousands of miles away, the monarchs and ministers who stayed in the country are still lighting lamps and boiling oil.
The envoys of Zhao came in the evening, reported the joint invasion of Yi and Shun, and implored the country to send troops to help.
King Liuwang was taken aback when he heard the news, and he agreed in a hurry, but Qiao Hai stood up and said with a sad face that the country had just been harmed by Xiping, and another army and horses had been sent to rescue the imperial capital, and now it was difficult to send a decent team of men and horses to help Zhao Guo.
The king knew that although what Qiao Hai said was true, there was no problem with dispatching 10,000 elite soldiers, and since he shirked it like this, there must be a reason, so he sent it down to rest first.
At this time, the palace is a group of important ministers, and after Zhao envoys go down, everyone has accused Qiao Hailai, Zhao, the reason for relying on each other is obvious, although Zhao has always done things and is sorry to stay in the country, but at the critical moment can not help them, it sounds that the southeast of Zhao is almost unsafe, and they are forced to move the capital, how can they delay it at this time, saving Zhao is saving themselves,
Qiao Hai is very good, no matter how everyone blames just calmly talk about many difficulties to deal with, one will say that Xiping's last invasion has made Liuguo hurt his muscles and bones, and one will say that he has to prevent Xiping from taking advantage of the chaos to invade again, and then said that Zhao is fully capable of resisting the Yi and Shun coalition forces, but it is just a loss of some land, and the current combat site is thousands of miles away from Liuguo, and when the army passes, maybe the war over there has ended, and the soldiers are tired back and forth, and this man and horse are unusable for a short time, Who knows how the situation will change then, it's not worth it to lose an elite in vain,
What he said is not unreasonable, some ministers began to stand on his side, the debate between the two sides became more and more intense, one side was headed by Dazai Yoshi, advocating that no matter how difficult it was, we should help Zhao Guo and help Zhao Guo calm the war as soon as possible, once Zhao Guo fell into chaos, it would be difficult to support the country when Xiping invaded, this soldier not only had to go out, but the sooner the better, and the other side was headed by Qiao Hai, insisting that it was not appropriate to send too many people to aid Zhao,
Liuwang frowned and listened carefully to the opinions of the two parties, he was most concerned about what Qiao Hai said, because he was very clear about the truth of Dazai's side, in the past, Qiao Hai was the most important to stay, Zhao Liangliang protection, his words and deeds today are abnormal, people can't help but wonder, although his defense is also reasonable, but in the Liuwang always feel that there is a suspicion of prevarication, the country is not as dangerous as he said, so that there are no soldiers to send, even if Xiping really comes to attack, it is enough to take advantage of the mountains and rivers to last for a while, then Zhao can come back to save the country, There is a hurry in the matter, his words seem far-fetched,
noticed that Qiao Hai looked at him with a hidden affection, and left the king to borrow a change of clothes to leave the table, Qiao Hai really followed,
When he came to the side room by the main hall, the king looked at him and asked, "What do you have to say to the widow?" ”
Qiao Hai sighed before he could speak, and said, "The minister really has something that is difficult to say in public, and we can't do anything about this soldier." ”
"Oh, please teach me." The king has always respected Qiaohai, and his words are very modest.
Qiao Hai's expression was a little strange, and Ai Ai said: "This is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, please let the king let the ministers disperse first, and the ministers should tell the reason in detail." ”
King Liuwang looked at him and groaned for a while, and said, "Okay." "As he spoke, he instructed the chamberlain," he said, saying that the widow was tired and would discuss it tomorrow morning. ”
After the chamberlain went, King Liuwang pointed to the seat and said to Qiao Hai: "The military advisor, please sit down and talk about it if you have a long story to discuss." ”
Qiao Hai thanked him, and shook his head after sitting down,
