Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Ambition of the Emperor of Xinling

The Qin army's position has been pried by the death charge of the Zhao people, and the Wei army is already difficult to resist when it comes again, if it does not retreat, the consequences will be unimaginable, and there will be heavy casualties.

As the commander of the army, Wang Ling has a unique vision, and he clearly knows that he should get out of the battle now, and then make other plans, which is very decisive.

"If you can't take it away, destroy it all." Qin Yiren reminded loudly.

"That's right." Wang Ling agreed loudly and said, "You must not leave a grain of grain and a tabernacle for Xinling Jun. ”

Giving food and grass to the enemy is the biggest crime, so Wang Ling will not make such a mistake. Immediately ordered, a group of Qin troops set fire everywhere, and not long after, the flames soared into the sky, and the camp of the Qin army turned into a sea of fire.

Although the battle was unfavorable, the Qin army was defeated but not discouraged, without the slightest chaos, and evacuated the camp in an orderly manner and withdrew towards the Qin state.

The Qin army is an elite division of a hundred battles, with good training, strict military discipline, and perseverance, not to mention, this is a retreat, not a rout, and it is not a problem for the Qin army to maintain military discipline.

Qin Yiren found Zhao Ji, only to see Zhao Ji sitting in the king's car, and Mo'er waiting on the side.

"Are you okay?" Qin Yiren was very concerned.

"It's alright." Zhao Ji looked happy, stroked her stomach, and said, "This child, still depends on his mother, but he won't give birth." ”

Qin Yiren's face was unhappy, and after hearing this ridicule, his face was slightly better, and he said, "It's okay." We're going to retreat, it's going to be bumpy on the road. ”

"Don't worry, I won't be tired." Zhao Ji hurriedly comforted: "You don't have to blame yourself, you did your best." ”

Originally, this defeat could have been avoided, provided that Wang Ling believed his words. In fact. Qin Yiren had two chances to stop this defeat. The first time was after guessing the movements of Shinling-kun. If Wang Ling believed Qin Yiren's words, he would have sent an army to hunt down and kill Xinling Jun. Or, Wang Ling lent Wang Jian to Qin Yiren, and Qin Yiren used Wang Jian to contain Zhu Hai, and Xinling Jun would have nowhere to escape.

But Wang Ling didn't believe it, and Zhu Hai was brave and unstoppable, allowing Xinling Jun to escape.

The second time was when Qin Yiren learned that Xinling Jun had captured the Wei army and rushed back to Qin Ying to report the news. Wang Ling still didn't believe it, thinking it was a fantasy and missed the opportunity. If Wang Ling believed Qin Yiren's words, he would have prepared a long time ago, and there would have been no such defeat.

"yes, I tried my best." Qin Yiren nodded, smiled gently, and said, "You have to pay attention, I have something to leave." ”

"Go ahead." Zhao Ji understands very well.

The defeat of the Qin army came inexplicably. Qin Yiren, the prince and grandson, must have a lot to do.

Qin Yiren took Huang Shigong and Wei Yi with him. Walk around and help the Qin army retreat.

"The Qin army is worthy of being the elite of the world, defeated but not discouraged, orderly, rare and rare." Huang Shigong and Wei Yi saw it in their eyes and appreciated it greatly.

"This defeat was caused by the Zhao State, and Handan was not captured in time. If Handan had been captured as soon as possible, there would have been no such thing. Qin Yiren frowned and said, "Actually, I've been thinking that this thing is all because of me, and it's my insistent strategy, will anyone scold me for being Song Xianggong?" ”

Huang Shigong and Wei Yi glanced at each other, and comforted Qin Yidao: "Gongzi is too worried, never." Song Xianggong is not ancient, and he regards himself as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how ridiculous is it that he does not take advantage of the fact that he is a minister and half crosses? And Gongzi is facing hundreds of thousands of Zhao people in Handan, they are unarmed, most of them are old and weak, women and children, and they can't be killed. ”

Song Xianggong faced the army of Chu led by Cheng Dechen, he wanted to be the "king of benevolence and righteousness", and he wanted to revitalize the "army of benevolence and righteousness".

Qin Yiren was not facing an elite division, but an unarmed old and weak woman and child, not to mention, hundreds of thousands of old and weak, who did not dare to slaughter.

If Qin Yiren was facing an army, not the old and weak, women and children, Qin Yiren would not hesitate at all, and would definitely order an attack.

"Besides, Gongzi is taking a long-term view and reducing the resistance to unification for Great Qin." Wei Yu took over the conversation and said: "If you want to capture Handan, you can fight a battle, it is happy, but it is to bury endless troubles, and you can't do it." First, it will make Handan into ruins, not a single inch of grass grows, and no tiles are left, is there still any meaning to such unification? Second, it will make the road to unification more difficult in the future, and the people of the five kingdoms of Han, Wei, Yan, Qi, and Chu will take Handan as a warning and resist to the end, which will increase countless casualties. ”

If Handan is slaughtered again, no matter what the reason is, as long as Handan is turned into ruins, it will be a precept for the world, and it will inevitably spread wildly to the world, and it will make the countries fight to the end, and the road to reunification will be even more difficult.

"In addition, the road to reunification is extremely difficult and tortuous, and it cannot be determined by the victory or defeat of the First World War." Huang Shigong picked up the conversation and said, "For something like the slaughter of the city in Handan, I would rather retreat than do it." Once you do it, there are endless consequences. Retreat, although it is acceptable, there is no trouble, and it can make a comeback. ”

The road to unification is difficult and unusual, it is impossible to complete it because of a big battle, it is possible to lose, it is possible to win, there are all kinds of possibilities. A defeat is nothing.

In history, Li Xin was defeated by Xiang Yan, and Wang Jian led the Qin army to make a comeback and destroy the Chu State, which is the best proof.

"Thank you for your leniency." Qin Yiren let out a turbid breath and once again devoted himself to the affairs of helping the Qin army retreat.

"The Tiger Wolf Qin people have fled!"

"Handan has been relieved!"

The Zhao people who lived for the rest of their lives after the war were overjoyed, wept with joy, hugged each other, cried and laughed, rejoicing at the relief of Handan, and sad for the death of their relatives, which was really a mixture of joy and sorrow.

"General, let's chase after us!" Zhao Ren reminded Lian Po.

"Chasing? What to chase? Lian Po sighed helplessly.

Defeating the Qin army was a good opportunity to pursue the Qin army, but unfortunately, Lian Po knew very well that he could not pursue the Qin army. Because there is no elite under his command, there are not many Zhao troops, and some are just old and weak women and children, and if he catches up, he will be sent to death.

Besides, can they catch up with the Qin army?

If Lian Po has an elite in his hands, not to mention the elite, as long as there is an army, whether it is elite or not, he will not hesitate to pursue. The problem is that he doesn't have many troops, and he can't chase if he wants to.

"However, we can't chase, the Wei army can chase." Lian Po looked at the Wei army, patted the back of his horse, and rushed towards the Wei army.

Soon came to the front of the Wei army and said loudly: "What about General Jin?" I want to see him. ”

"General Lian Po, you are really an afterthought." There were Wei soldiers looking at Lian Po playfully.

"What do you mean?" Lian Po is puzzled.

"Jin contempt colluded with the tiger wolf Qin people and betrayed the good man of Great Wei, and he has already given Xinling Jun justice." Sergeant Wei explained for Lian Po.

"Jin Contempt was killed?" Lian Pohao was surprised for a while, and his eyes almost fell off.

Now is not the time to pursue this matter, Lian Po was busy and said: "I want to see Xinlingjun." ”

"Oh, isn't this the General? What are you going to do? At this moment, I saw Xinlingjun coming surrounded by a crowd of people, riding a horse, with a sneering look on his face, and said to Lian.

"Xinlingjun, hurry up and send troops to chase the Qin army, otherwise it will be too late." Lian Po said loudly.

"Why should I listen to you?" Xinling Jun was arrogant and got up: "You are the general of Zhao State, why do you want me to chase after you?" You said you were going to chase it, and you went to chase it? Can your general's talisman be useful to my Great Wei warriors? You say, don't you? ”

Lian Po snatched Xinlingjun's general's talisman, which made Xinlingjun hold a grudge, and with this opportunity to ridicule Lian Po, of course he would not miss it.

"Haha!" A laugh sounded, and the Wei soldiers looked disdainful.

"You Zhao Guo rely on our Great Wei and An, you should be grateful to us. If we hadn't sacrificed our lives and forgotten death, you would have been killed by the Tiger Wolf Qin people a long time ago. ”

"We travel long distances, we travel thousands of miles, is it easy for us? General Lian Po, are you here to treat us? ”

The Wei soldiers regarded themselves as benefactors and began to ask for benefits.

In their mouths, it was as if the victory was all their work. If there were no Zhao people who forgot their lives and forgot to die, and leveraged the Qin army's position, could there be this victory?

The Wei army attacked the Qin army's camp, but the Qin army was beaten out, and they were pressed and beaten by the Qin army, and they were embarrassed to say that their skin was not ordinarily thick.

Lian Po saw Xinlingjun's villain's triumphant appearance in his eyes, and he couldn't wait to slap him a few times. However, in this situation, he had to endure it and reminded loudly: "Although the Qin army was defeated and retreated, it was not injured, if this good opportunity is missed, the Qin army will make a comeback, and I also ask Xinlingjun to put the overall situation first and send troops to chase and kill the Qin army." ”

Lian Po was right, although the Qin army was defeated and retreated, it suffered few casualties and did not hurt its vitality. If the Qin army is not pursued and killed at this time, it is a good opportunity for the Qin army, and once the Qin army reorganizes its position and kills again, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"You have also seen that when the Qin army was defeated and retreated, the formation was neat and orderly, and this was not the time to pursue." Shin Lingjun refused.

"Although the Qin army's formation is neat, as long as it pursues, it can disrupt its formation, and there will be greater casualties." Lian Po is a famous general with a unique vision, and naturally knows that the Qin army's formation is neat, and it is a retreat, not a rout. However, as long as the defeat and retreat is a good opportunity, after a period of pursuit, it can disrupt the Qin army's formation, and it can have greater results.

However, Xinlingjun was afraid of the Qin army and had no intention of pursuing.

He came to attack the Qin army this time, as long as he won the battle, it didn't matter if it was a big victory or a small victory, as long as he won a battle, he could get out of the crisis. Handan has broken the siege, he has achieved his goal, and he doesn't want to take any more risks. These 200,000 Wei troops are his capital, and they must not be lost.

Lian Po couldn't let Xinlingjun pursue, so he had to leave angrily.

"Zhao Ren is not only ungrateful to Dade, but also arrogant, vainly trying to dictate to our Great Wei warriors. Hum! "The Wei soldiers were also unhappy when they saw it.

Xin Lingjun listened to the words of the soldiers in his ears, a touch of greed flashed in his eyes, and he rushed to Mao Gong, Xue Gong, and Hou Ying, and said: "Right now, I have an army of 200,000 in my hands, and Zhao has no soldiers and no generals, and Handan is empty, which means that there is no defense." If I wave my army straight into Handan and occupy Handan in one fell swoop, is it okay? ”

He is going to take the opportunity to destroy Zhao, what a big ambition. (To be continued.) )
