Chapter Seventy-Two: Qin's Choice

Qin State, Liyang.

When the deputy general Yingde informed the king of Qin's death, the king of Qin was not only sad but angry. Wei Ran died in Xianyang, that was his glory. But it was the Duke of Qi, how could he be so angry that he committed suicide under Xianyang City because he couldn't be rescued? If everyone is like this, who else is going to kill the enemy and deal with South Korea? Doesn't the Duke of Qi know that the country is now the time to employ people? ! It is far better to atone for sins and make meritorious contributions than to apologize for sins with death!

But people can't be resurrected after death, and King Qin can't do much except order the whole city to wear filial piety, mourn for Wei Ran and Duke Qi, and posthumously confer some honors on the two! What's more, now King Qin is most concerned about how to keep Liyang, how to recapture Guanzhong, and be able to have an extra 20,000 troops to protect Liyang, King Qin is still very pleased. The Han army did not immediately follow, giving the Qin state enough time to strengthen the city defenses. Different from the mood in Xianyang at the beginning, King Qin even hopes that the main force of the Korean army will attack Liyang, and he will also take a good look at the morale of the Han army, and even annihilate the Korean army under the city of Liyang.

But the Han army did not come after all, and the news of the scouts sent by the Qin State to the west of Liyang came one after another. In just ten days, the land of Guanzhong west of Jingshui had been completely brought under Korean rule. Moreover, Anping Pass has been lost, and the main force of the Korean army in Hanzhong has also entered Guanzhong. Today, the South Korean army has at least 120,000 people in Guanzhong! This is almost the number of soldiers of the Qin State!

The first reinforcements to arrive in Liyang were Wang Qian's 10,000 army, followed by Bai Qi's 30,000 army, and finally Yingde's 20,000 army, a full 60,000 army! Although there were still 50,000 troops in Hedong, 20,000 troops in Tongguan, and 20,000 troops in Shangjun, they could not be mobilized. But Qin still has a lot more confidence!

Wu Anjun Bai Qi even led an army of 30,000 troops into Jingyang to monitor the movements of the Korean army. In Gaoling, there are also 10,000 troops on guard. Prevent the ROK army from crossing Weishui. Now that the river has thawed, the Korean army must recruit ships if they want to cross the river, but the Qin State now has some signs of a bow and a snake, and it is impossible to be cautious.

On the question of whether to fight Xianyang or not, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were very divided. Some ministers believe that Xianyang is the soul of Daqin. Now the Qin State has an army of 60,000, although the number may be only half of the Han army, but don't forget that it is Wu Anjun Bai Qi who commands this army. What Bai Qi is best at is to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak! The Qin army is fighting locally this time, for the sake of the fathers and villagers behind them, where will they not die?! What's more, many of these 60,000 troops are old Qin people west of Xianyang, and they miss their homeland. Naturally, they will go all out to win!

On the other hand, they tend to recruit a part of the army in Hedong, or simply abandon Shangjun and transfer 20,000 Shangjun soldiers and horses to cross Luoshui. After all, South Korea is menacing, and there may be follow-up soldiers and horses, and the Qin State really can't continue to take risks!

Without Wei Ran, the prime minister of the Qin State, whether it is to fight for the phase, whether it is purely for the sake of the Qin State. The two groups of ministers quarreled endlessly, and in the end. The king of Qin was so annoyed that he simply recruited Bai Qi and asked him for advice.

In the Qin State, in terms of prestige, Bai Qi was second only to Wei Ran. Now that Wei Ran is dead, Bai Qi has become a veritable pillar of the earth. The ups and downs he experienced when he served King Qin Zhao can be described as the precious wealth of the Qin State!

Bai Qi's answer is simple. That is to wait, wait for the South Korean army to make a mistake, and wait for the South Korean army to make a statement. If the Han army is alone and wants to cross Weishui or Jingshui to attack Liyang, then the Qin State can make a plan. Annihilate the South Korean army along the way, and then cross the river to meet the South Korean army. If the Han army could not defend it, or even set up an ambush on the other side of Jingshui and Weishui, then the Qin army had limited strength, so it was best not to take risks!

After all, South Korea has a vast land and abundant resources, and its manpower and financial resources are far superior to those of Qin! The Qin State is now only the size of three counties, and the elite soldiers die one less than one, unlike South Korea, which can be replenished at any time! Moreover, South Korea can so calmly assemble an army of 300,000 to attack South Korea in all directions, and there is an accident in Shandong, and this kind of change is definitely what Qin does not want to see.

The reason why Bai Qi was unwilling to take the risk was also waiting for the situation in Hedong to change in the battle situation, if Yang Duanhe won, then the Qin State only needed to defend the pass, and then free up 20,000 or 30,000 troops for himself to slowly deal with Korea. If Yang Duanhe is undefeated and invincible, or simply defeated, perhaps, it is the most important thing to keep half of Hedong and leave a point of vitality for the Qin State. As for the land of Guanzhong west of Xianyang, it can only be hoped for!

On this day, Bai Qi was leading people to inspect Jingshui, and suddenly received a decree from the King of Qin, who asked Bai Qi to return to Liyang immediately to discuss state affairs. Bai Qi immediately realized that there must be news from Shandong (east of Kushan Mountain).

The next day, Bai Qi, who arrived in Liyang, quickly learned a jaw-dropping news, that is, Yan sent 200,000 troops to attack Qi, and Qi was afraid that South Korea would attack him, so he sent Hou Sheng as an envoy to Korea to sue for peace, and the specific situation is unknown. In addition, Zhao completely gave up the idea of plotting to join the party, and now, Zhao Guo's main forces are all in Handan, and he is on guard against South Korea. As for the state of Chu in the south, there is no latest news yet. However, there is inaccurate news that the state of Chu retreated from the land of Huaisi in a big way, and the reason is unknown.

King Qin said worriedly: "The Zhao State has decided to draw a line with our Qin State in order to protect itself. It is difficult for the Qi State to protect itself, and it is inevitable that it will cede land to the Yan State and seek peace. As for the state of Chu, there is no need to worry. The widowed Qin State has become a thorn in the side of South Korea, so what can I do about it? ”

King Qin was obviously flustered! If Zhao Guo is willing to help Qin Guo, Qin Guo will not have a chance to turn the tables! Now not only the Zhao State cannot be counted on, but even the Qi and Chu countries have become unreliable, and the only thing that the Qin State can count on is himself! Before the war, Qin was no longer an opponent of Korea! Now, with South Korea freeing up its hands, how can it let go of Qin?!

Qin State, Liyang.

Now that the river has thawed, the South Korean army will have to recruit boats if they want to cross the river. But the Qin State now has some signs of a cup bow and snake shadow, and it is impossible to be careful.

On the question of whether to fight Xianyang or not. The differences between the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were very large. Some ministers believe that Xianyang is the soul of Great Qin, and now Qin has an army of 60,000, although the number may be only half of the Han army, but don't forget that it is Wu Anjun Bai Qi who commands this army.
