Xianyang, Wu'an Junfu, Wei Ran is talking with Bai Qi Cooking Wine.

"Marquis, is it a little inappropriate for you to come to the minister's mansion so swaggeringly?" Bai Qi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

King Qin is the most jealous of the ministers of the court and the generals in the army, not to mention that Wei Ran and Bai Qi are the first people in the court and the first in the military, and the two of them can work together to even put the king of Qin in the air.

"The old man doesn't come generously, is it possible to sneak in?" Wei Ran laughed.

Wei Ran knew that King Qin's secret agents were everywhere, and even if he disguised himself as a slave, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be known to King Qin. What's more, slaves in their seventies are too rare. Once King Qin knows his hidden traces, King Qin will only be more suspicious, but it is better to be generous.

"That's what the minister meant, the minister wants to say that the prime minister has something, and just let the subordinates come over. is so public, I am afraid that the king will not like it. Bai Qi explained.

Wei Ran smiled when he heard this, and said disappreciatively: "The old man asked his subordinates to come over, will the king be happy?" The king is no longer an immature boy, he already knows how to control his courtiers. With the relationship between the old man and you, if you don't move, the king will be really suspicious. ”

Wei Ran was reminding Bai Qi that he had pulled it up by himself. No matter what you say, Bai Qi will be branded with Wei Ran's family in this life. The two have not fallen out now, if they pretend to be at odds, they will make King Qin wary, thinking that the two are playing some conspiracy.

Bai Qi had to nod and said, "I'm also afraid that the king will be suspicious, the king's city mansion is getting deeper and deeper now, and the king's authority is unpredictable!" ”

"Yes! The king has grown up and already has his own ideas. Wei Ran sighed in his heart.

More than 30 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has to start handing back power to this nephew.

"Prime Minister, I don't know what happened to your visit to the minister's mansion this time?" Bai Qikou asked.

"The old man has nothing to do at home, so he comes to your house to ask for a glass of water and wine, you won't be unwelcome, right?" Wei Ran made a joke.

"Where do you dare not welcome it, Prime Minister, you have the grace of knowing me, don't say a glass of water and wine, even if the entire mansion gives you what's the matter!" Bai Qi replied half-truthfully.

"The mansion will be exempted, otherwise it will cause the dignified Wu Anjun to sleep on the streets, and the old man will really be pointed out by a thousand people, hehe. Now that the king has ordered the whole country to prepare for war, his attitude is unprecedentedly resolute, what does Wu Anjun think my Daqin will win? Wei Ran put away his smile and asked.

Speaking of the war, Bai Qi's expression also changed, and he solemnly replied: "When there is a chance of winning by more than seven points." ”

"Oh? Only seventy percent? Doesn't Wu Anjun think that my Great Qin should rest and recuperate for a while longer? After all, we have just lost more than 200,000 troops and more than 1 million stones, grains and grass. Even if the Great Qin Land is vast, this kind of loss will also greatly hurt the vitality of the Qin State! Wei Ran sighed.

Bai Qi thought for a moment and replied: "Although the king's move is suspected of being reckless, from the perspective of the ministers, there is also a last resort. ”

"What's the problem?" Wei Ran asked.

"Now that Han, Zhao, and Wei are hugging each other, most of the two counties of Hedong and Hexi, which I have been operating for decades, have lost most of them in January, which is a huge blow to my Daqin's century-old prestige. If Great Qin can't fight back quickly, it will inevitably make the other six countries ready to move. Only by defeating the Three Jin with the momentum of thunder can the courage of the Six Kingdoms be lost. Bai Qi said earnestly.

Wei Ran frowned and said: "The so-called speed is not reached, the Three Jin Dynasty has just lost the ground, and the morale is greatly boosted, and my Great Qin has lost troops and generals, and the morale is declining." It's an adventure! ”

"The prime minister only knows one but doesn't know the other, and the so-called mourning soldiers will win. It is true that the morale of the three Jin Dynasty has been greatly boosted, but it will also despise my great Qin Sheng because of the big victory. My Great Qin rewards military merits, and a great defeat will only stimulate the courage of the soldiers. Zhao Guo is the head of the three Jins, as long as the first battle is won, and the Zhao army can't be defeated, the next battle will be simple. As soon as Zhao Guo went, Han and Wei were not worth it. Bai Qi said confidently.

"Will 200,000 troops be too little?" Wei Ran asked.

"In my opinion, 200,000 is enough to regain lost territory. The prime minister also knew that Yiqu had committed a crime in my Guanzhong, and Daqin had lost a lot of grain. With too many troops, grain transportation will be a big problem. Moreover, my Daqin has a vast territory, and recruiting too many soldiers is also a waste of money and labor. In my opinion, with Chu and Yan contained, the Three Jin Dynasty gathered a maximum of 400,000 troops, and nearly half of them had to defend the city. ”

"Four hundred thousand?" Wei Ran was a little surprised by Bai Qi's remarks.

"Prime Minister listened to my analysis, Han and Wei currently have about 300,000 troops each. Among them, there are 100,000 troops stationed within 300 miles of Hangu Pass. In the case of the containment of the Chu State, the two countries must hoard at least 100,000 troops to prepare for the trouble of the Chu State, and the remaining 100,000 must be prepared for emergencies. In this way, once we confront Zhao, it will be difficult for Han and Wei to give Zhao enough support. Although Zhao had an army of 700,000, in order to guard against Yan and Xiongnu, at least 400,000 troops could not support the Hexi battlefield. Therefore, I think that Zhao State will not count the defenders, and at most 200,000 mobile troops can fight with us in the field. I, Daqin, belong to the attacking side and occupy the initiative. Therefore, it is completely possible to ignore Han and Wei and directly fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army. Against Zhao, we have a good chance of winning. ”

"Seeing that you are so confident, can you break Zhao Liang's strategy?" After Bai Qi's analysis, Wei Ran also felt that the shape was not as bad as he imagined.

"Although the military strength of Zhao is strong, it has a fatal shortcoming, that is, there is not enough food and grass. As far as the minister knew, Zhao Guotun's grain was not enough for two years of the 700,000 army. I, Great Qin, can completely consume the Zhao State with its profound national strength. My plan was this, the army did not go through Hangu Pass, but directly waded through Luoshui, and went south or east from Dingyang. If the Zhao army dares to go out of the city, then I will stick to it, consume its sharpness, and wait for it to slack off and fight down; If the Zhao army is stubborn, it will be simpler, and I will besiege the city. Bai Qi said confidently.

Wei Ran thought for a while, and then said: "What if Zhao Guo swears not to retreat and sends troops from all over the country to help?" At that time, the general's forces will not be superior, and I am afraid that he will be in danger again. ”

Bai frowned, and replied: "If Zhao Guo really fights to the death and does not retreat, then this battle will be a strategic decisive battle." I will ask the king to pour the whole country's troops into a showdown with Zhao. Once he wins, my Great Qin will be invincible. ”

"A decisive battle?" Wei Ran muttered.

Looking at Bai Qi's attitude, he supports this battle anyway. Thinking of Gongzi City's entrustment, Wei Ran opened his mouth and said the true intention of this trip.

"The general knows that the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks; The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The reason why the enemy country is broken and the ministers are dead? Zhao is the great enemy of my Qin State, and once the great enemy is eliminated, there is no country in the world that is the opponent of my Great Qin. Now there is only Wu Anjun in the army, few people know the king of Qin, the general broke the Zhao army, glory is glory, but this is the way to die. The old man thought that a small victory in a duel with Zhao would be enough, and once he injured his muscles and bones, the general was afraid that he would be worried about his life. ”

Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this, if possible, he just wanted to be a simple general. But the reality played a joke on him, as the "backbone" of Prime Minister Wei Ran's family, at least in the eyes of King Qin, he also had many times when he couldn't help himself. If the merit is high and powerful, the King of Qin will be uneasy, so he is even a little happy about the failure last time, and the myth of his undefeated is broken, but in exchange for the satisfaction of the King of Qin.

This time, he originally wanted to "atone for his sins", wash away his stains, and prove that he was worthy of King Qin's favor. But the prime minister, who has the grace of knowing him, came to warn him, so that he should not go all out and sit back and be rich. For a moment, Bai Qi hesitated.

"Think about it, General! In this life and this life, it is impossible for King Qin to trust you 100%. Keep Zhao Guo, it's good for you and for me. The old man's words have come to this, so he stayed for a short time and took his leave. Wei Ran said in a very sincere tone.
