Chapter 20: Guilty of Nothing
Xianyang, King Qin's Palace, upper study.
King Qin Zhao, who had a white beard, was wearing a crown and a royal robe, sitting on the throne, dealing with official business, and his expression was very focused.
At this moment, Chang Shi Huan Xing walked in quickly and said, "Your Excellency, Handan Military Report." ”
"Handan Military News? Good! It must have been a big victory, and Handan went down with a drum. King Qin Zhao hurriedly put down the bamboo slip in his hand, he was very happy, snatched the military report, unfolded it, and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Wang Ling is so useless? ”
According to his thoughts, as long as the Qin army rushes to Handan, they can go down to Handan with one blow, and Handan will destroy the Zhao State. However, the military report from Wang Ling was that the Qin army could not capture Handan, and could only besiege it.
In the Battle of Changping, 500,000 elites of Zhao State were annihilated by Qin State, Zhao State was not fortified, Handan was empty, and it was right for the Qin army to attack the city in one go, how could it be so? King Qin Zhao really couldn't figure it out.
"Could it be that Bai Qi's opinion is right?" Until now, King Qin Zhao still thought that Bai Qi was talking nonsense and did not believe Bai Qi's judgment.
Speaking of which, you can't blame King Qin Zhao, even the generals who have followed Bai Qi for decades don't believe Bai Qi's judgment, Zhao is like that, can Zhao still hold Handan?
"Spread the word." King Qin Zhao thought about it, so it was better to send Bai Qi to ask for clarification.
Although he is very angry with Bai Qi at the moment, and he can't wait to slap Bai twice, he still admires Bai Qi's military talents, and when he encounters such a difficult matter, he naturally wants to ask Bai Qi for an explanation.
"Your Excellency, the general's condition is getting worse." Chang Shi Huan hurriedly reminded.
"Really?" King Qin Zhao's snow-white eyebrows lifted.
"It's true!" Huan Xing hurriedly returned.
King Qin Zhao furrowed his brows, turned into a Sichuan character, groaned for a while, and said, "Come on." Just ask him something. ”
If Bai Qi fell ill in ordinary times, King Qin Zhao would never worry about Bai Qi. Even if he had something to ask Bai Qi, he would go to Bai Qi's mansion, but because of the attack on Zhao State, he was dissatisfied with Bai Qi, so he wanted Bai Qi to come to see him.
"No!" Huan Xing hurriedly received his life. Go and arrange.
"Bai Qi, are you really sick, or are you pretending to be sick?" King Qin Zhao's brows tightened.
It didn't take long for Bai Qi to be carried in by several Iron Eagle Warriors, and King Qin Zhao's eyes widened. Staring at Bai Qi. I saw that although Bai Qi's face was not very good, he was better than the last time we met, and his spirit was not bad, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart: "You are obviously improving." Why is it heavier? ”
"Minister, Bai Qi, I have seen the king." Bai Qi hugged his fists on the sickbed and saluted, his voice was very weak, and he did not have the fierce spirit of the dragon spirit in the past.
"Excuse me." King Qin Zhao waved. He said in a deep voice: "Wang Ling's attack on Handan is unfavorable, and the war is in a stalemate, what do you think?" ”
Bai Qi groaned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, if the minister thinks that he can't go down with a drum, he can surround it first and then look at it." If you can't capture Handan, you should withdraw your troops immediately. ”
"Withdrawal?" King Qin Zhao's brows stood up, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and it was powerful.
"Why withdraw?" King Qin Zhao shouted in a deep voice. Like thunder exploding.
The Qin army attacked the city unfavorably, and it didn't reach the point of retreating, right? King Qin Zhao really didn't believe it, and he was furious.
"Your Majesty, if the minister's expectations are good, the war in Handan will drag on for a long time. The land of Shandong will be joined by the allied forces, and at that time, it will be too late for Daqin to withdraw his troops. Bai Qi hurriedly replied.
"Coalition forces? Are you daydreaming? King Qin Zhao was completely angry, and roared: "Hezong has long been dispersed." was scattered by my grandson, how can I say that I am indulgent? Did You Know? The state of Yan has already sent people into Qin. Secretly allied with Great Qin, how could there be a confluence without the Yan State? ”
Ju Xin listened to Qin Yiren's words, and after returning to Yan Kingdom, he suggested to King Yan and asked Qin Yan to secretly form an alliance. Forming a good alliance with Qin, the first major warring state, was exactly what King Yan thought in his heart, and he agreed without thinking about it, sent people to Qin State, and successfully formed an alliance.
"Your Majesty, the Zhao State is the center of Shandong, if the Zhao State is destroyed by the Great Qin, Shandong will cease to exist, how can the Six Kingdoms of Shandong sit idly by?" Bai Qi's tone was a little high, and he said anxiously: "Han and Wei are the most anxious, if these two countries send troops, it is likely to cause a concert, please think twice." ”
Since King Wuling of Zhao implemented the national policy of "Hufu Cavalry Shooting", Zhao became a first-class Warring States in one fell swoop, and became the center of the six countries of Shandong to resist Qin. Among them, Han and Wei, both of whom were also the Three Jin Dynasty, were the most anxious, because the complementarity between these two countries and Zhao was too strong.
"You say, can you lead the army into battle?" Long before the troops, Bai Qi said this, King Qin Zhao was not interested in his old tune, and asked in a deep voice, his eyes were round, staring at Bai Qi.
"Ahem!" Bai Qi coughed up blood, very weak, and said, "This is ...... minister."
"Shit! You've got a fart disease! You're faking illness! King Qin Zhao didn't allow Bai Qi to finish speaking, and rudely interrupted Bai Qi's speech, shouting: "If you are sick, why is your face better than last time?" Well. ”
"Your Majesty, in order to see your majesty, the minister took a refreshing medicine." Bai Qi smiled bitterly.
After Bai Qi learned that King Qin Zhao wanted to see him, in order to have the spirit to persuade King Qin Zhao, he was specially appointed to give him a refreshing drug and prepare for a good analysis. But he didn't expect that King Qin Zhao would misunderstand.
"Pick-me-up?" King Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "You have been in the army since you were a child, and your body is as strong as a cow, when did you get sick?" You're pretending, pretending to be sick! You don't want to fight, you don't think the widow doesn't know. You're prideful! ! Get out of Xianyang. ”
Bai Qi's body is very strong, although he is injured a lot, he rarely gets sick, which Qin people know. It was really difficult to convince King Qin Zhao that Bai was sick, especially since he was angry right now, and he wouldn't believe it.
"Hey!" Bai Qi let out a long sigh and asked the Iron Eagle Warrior to carry him away.
Bai Qi returned to the house and said to Mrs. Chong: "Hurry up and pack up, let's leave Xianyang." ”
Mrs. Bai is full of silver hair, she is not young, but she has a tough body and an unfailing appearance, and she is surprised when she hears this: "Leaving Xianyang? Why are you leaving? ”
Bai Qi is the pillar of the Qin State, how can he leave Xianyang? This was the first time she had heard of it in her life, and she really didn't believe it.
"Hey! I cannot resist the will of the king. Bai Qi explained.
"......" Madame Bai lost her voice directly.
With Bai Qi as the meritorious service of the Qin State, King Qin Zhao would only gather him, how could he drive him out of Xianyang? Madame White seemed to be listening to the Arabian Nights.
"It's not what it used to be!" Bai Qi sighed and said, "The king can't listen to me anymore, what are you doing in Xianyang?" It's better to leave. ”
Madame Bai held back her fear. Ordered to clean up the makeup.
Although Bai Qi was a general and the pillar of the Qin State, he didn't have much wealth, so he quickly packed it up, and it could be loaded in one car. Mainly weapons, armor. These are all things that Bai Qi used in the past to fight. To others, these are useless things, but to white, they are treasures.
Bai Qi and Mrs. Bai rode in the same car. took a few servants and a few Iron Eagle Sharps and left Xianyang.

In the palace of King Qin, King Qin Zhao looked anxious, with his hands behind his back, and kept pacing back and forth.
"Where's Bai Qi?" King Qin Zhao stopped suddenly. Ask loudly.
"Your Excellency, Bai Qi has left Xianyang." Chang Shi Huan hurriedly returned.
"Gone? Really gone? King Qin Zhao was a little surprised.
Changshi Huanxing looked at it in his eyes, he really didn't know what to say, it was King Qin Zhao who ordered Bai Qi to leave Xianyang, what are you suspicious about?
"Widow ......" King Qin Zhao wanted to say that he was angry and angry, but he couldn't take it seriously, but when he thought of Jun Wu jokes, he couldn't say it anymore.
Bai Qi has the merit of fixing the tripod, so to speak. If there was no white rise, there would be no King Qin Zhao. When King Wu of Qin died, although he passed the throne of the monarch to him, King Qin Zhao at that time was still a hostage in the Yan Kingdom, which coincided with the rebellion of the son. Not enough to eat, not to be warmly dressed, to be hungry for a meal, to be full. I can't live anymore.
At this critical juncture, Bai Qi brought people to Yan Kingdom. I want to take him back to China. As soon as Yan Guo got the news, he wanted to detain him and prevent him from returning to China, and the situation at that time was extremely critical, and King Qin Zhao thought that it was impossible for him to return to Qin State. However, Bai Qi responded calmly, went around in circles with the Yan State chasing soldiers, successfully got rid of the Yan army, and successfully brought King Qin Zhao back to China, and King Qin Zhao ascended to the throne of King Qin.
From the bottom of his heart, King Qin Zhao regarded Bai Qi as the most trusted person, and whenever there was something important, he would summon Bai Qi to discuss; If there is anything difficult to do, it will be handed over to Bai Qi to do; Whenever there is a battle that others cannot fight, they will be ordered to go out in vain, and the Battle of Changping is a clear proof.
The words that he wanted to leave Xianyang in vain were angry words at that time, and they should not be true. The problem is that he is the king of a country, and he has no jokes, and he can't go back on what he says, so he is anxious and can't stop pacing.
"When will it take to leave?" King Qin Zhao asked again.
"After leaving the palace, I left." Huan Xing replied truthfully.
"What? He's in such a hurry? Why? King Qin Zhao shouted loudly like a spark falling into the crotch of his pants, like thunder, and scolded hatefully: "Bai Qi, Bai Qi, did you want to leave a long time ago?" Well, it must be so! It must be so! ”
Wanting Bai Qi to leave Xianyang was originally King Qin Zhao's angry words, he originally thought that Bai Qi would not be in such a hurry to leave, and he would think of a way to save the matter. At first glance, when he heard the news that Bai Qi would leave Xianyang soon, could he not be careful? Can you not be angry?
"Your Majesty, the general has always been resolute and resolute, and he will never drag mud and water when he is ordered." Huan Xing was busy excusing Bai Qi.
Bai Qi has fought all his life, fought dozens of battles large and small, and has never been defeated, that is because he is resolute and never drags his feet in doing things. Get the order in the morning, and you can set off in the afternoon.
This was originally Bai Qi's advantage, but at this time, it became Bai Qi's fatal wound, only to hear King Qin Zhao roar: "Bullshit!" He obviously has two hearts, two hearts! Desperate to escape! ”
"Your Majesty, the general is loyal, and he is dedicated to Daqin, where does the second heart come from?" Huan Xingdu was about to cry.
If Bai Qi has two hearts and looks at the entire Qin State, who can trust?
However, there was something that made Huan Xing even more shocked, I saw King Qin Zhao untie the Qin sword from his waist, throw it at Huan Xing, murderous, and shouted: "You, hold this sword to chase Bai Qi!" Fast! ”
"Ahh Huan Xing's face changed greatly, his face was distorted, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
King Qin Zhao is a killer, if he wants to kill Bai Qi, can he not be afraid?
