When he learned that Bai Qi had returned to Xianyang and that Qin had gathered 200,000 troops, Fan Sui knew that his strategy was about to change.

In the past few days, the Yiqu Wolf Rider clearly felt that the defenses of the cities in Neishi County were getting tighter and tighter, and several raids in a row were unsuccessful. The Qin army implemented a policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, which caused Yiqu to fall into a crisis of food shortage. In desperation, Yiqu could only choose to storm to obtain supplies.

After paying 10,000 casualties, Yiqu captured Shangbang. This time, the Yiqu people did not choose to set fire to the grain and grass of the Qin army, but after slaughtering the city, they relied on sufficient grain and grass to defend Shangbang. The people of Yiqu knew that as the Qin State tightened its blockade, supplies that were once readily available would become more and more difficult.

Although the siege of Yiqu is not good, but the field battle is good! Therefore, the king of Yiqu decided to use Shangbang as a base and went out of the city to attack and harass the Qin army. Although the other party has 200,000 people, and although the other party is leading the famous Bai Qi, these do not hinder the confidence of the Yiqu people to win.

For the pride of the Yiqu people, Fan Sui did not blow. He clearly knew that with 100,000 wolf riders, Yiqu could indeed match the Qin army in a short period of time, but it was only for a short time. Once the Qin State blocks the road for Yiqu to return to the country, these 100,000 Yiqu wolf riders will completely become rootless floating grass, and they will not be reported day and night.

It's just that until now, Fan Sui still needs Yiqu to toss in the heart of the Qin State, so as to firmly attract the main force of the Qin army. He knows that Wang Ziran is currently in a big game of chess, and there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, what Wang Ziran can do is to recover his current disadvantage little by little, and the chaos in Guanzhong is an opportunity for Prince Ran to turn defeat into victory.

"Presumably Zhao and Wei have already sent troops at this moment! I really want to see King Qin's expression! Fan Sui sighed silently in his heart.

Five days later, Xianyang Palace.

In front of King Qin's bookcase were two copies of 800 miles of urgent bamboo slips that arrived almost at the same time. The first one came from Wu Anjun Baiqi, and the bamboo slip said that the Qin army defeated the Yiqu wolf rider three times and killed 20,000 enemies. At present, the Yiqu Wolf Cavalry has changed its strategy and no longer clashes head-on with the Qin army. Under the policy of Qin's strong wall and clearing the wilderness, Bai Qi believed that Yiqu would be defeated due to lack of food in less than half a month. At that time, the Qin army will pursue with all its might, and it will definitely win a complete victory.

The second bamboo slip came from Hexi and Hedong counties, and the bamboo slip said that Han, Zhao, and Wei gathered 400,000 soldiers to commit the two counties. The two counties are too guarded to be invincible, and ask Xianyang to send reinforcements quickly!

"Hehe", King Qin smiled coldly and said, "Where are the widows sending reinforcements to you!" ”

"What is the king muttering?" A voice suddenly sounded in Xianyang Palace.

"Queen Mother, why did your old man come?" King Qin put down the bamboo slip and saw the queen mother at a glance.

"Let's all go down!" The Queen Mother waved her hand.

"Whoa!" The eunuch ordered a group of eunuchs and palace maids to carefully withdraw outside the palace and slowly close the door.

"There is such a big mess in the Qin Kingdom, if I don't show up again, then I have to do it?!" The Queen Mother knocked on the dragon's head cane and said unhappily.

"The incompetence of the sons and daughters makes the queen mother worried." For the woman in front of him who helped him ascend to the throne, King Qin still showed enough respect.

"Alright, Your Majesty, don't say polite words. Does the king have any ideas about the current chaos? ”

King Qin sighed and said helplessly: "Yiqu rebelled, and I was in trouble. Bai Qi led the army for several days and only annihilated 20,000 enemy troops. Now Han, Zhao, and Wei have gathered 400,000 troops to attack our Qin land, and the two counties of Hedong and Hexi are in an emergency, and Erchen really doesn't know what to do. I was about to convene the ministers to discuss how to respond. ”

The Queen Mother nodded, but reprimanded: "As the king of a country, the king is responsible for the fortune of the Great Qin, how can he be discouraged." If the king's mood is in turmoil, Daqin is really in chaos. At the beginning, no matter how difficult it was at the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, I still didn't survive it. Now it's just 400,000 soldiers who have invaded two counties, is the king annoyed like this? We can survive the difficulties of the Nine Kingdoms attacking Qin, and the same is true now. ”

"The retainers have been taught." King Qin replied.

"To get back to the point, I also know the difficulties of the king now, but the more this time, the more calm the king must be. The front was smooth, and now there are setbacks, but as long as the king crosses over, Daqin is still the number one power that is angry and the world is shocked. Now that there are no outsiders, the king will sue me, an old woman, what do you think in your heart? ”

"The queen mother, Bai Qi sent a message saying that there were only 80,000 wolf riders left in Yiqu, and the sons wanted to use Bai Qizhi's ability to have 100,000 troops. Therefore, Erchen wanted to send 100,000 soldiers and horses to support the two counties of Hexi and Hedong, and at the same time ordered the Taishou of Shangjun to send 50,000 soldiers and horses to support the two counties. ”

"Is that what the king meant? I wonder what the king thinks the ministers will think? The Queen Mother shook her head and asked out loud.

King Qin didn't know why, and he replied in his heart: "Most of the ministers should be in favor." This is already the only way that Erchen can think of. ”

"Does the king really think so? However, I learned that after hearing the news of the defeat of Qin, the state of Chu was about to take back the capital of Ying. When the Chu army comes, I don't know how the king plans to resist? The Queen Mother's words were amazing.

"Moreover, the righteous wolf comes and goes like the wind. I don't know what the king asked Bai Qi to use to trap the 80,000 Yiqu wolf riders after the king transferred Bai Qi's 100,000 troops? Now Xianyang has finally settled down, if this news spreads, I don't know how many people will worry that the Yiqu wolf cavalry will break out and even attack Xianyang, have these kings thought about it? ”

The king of Qin was dumbfounded by the question, he had been carried away by the repeated defeats, and he only thought about the best of both worlds, wanting to preserve the land and encircle and suppress the righteous canal. It is really undeserved to ignore the people's will and the reaction of the six countries in Shandong. If it is really like what the Queen Mother said, the Chu State also came to join in the fun, then it would be a disaster for the Qin State! Maybe Qi and Yan will also take advantage of the situation and bargain for some cheapness.

"Please teach me, Queen Mother!" King Qin Zhengse asked for advice.

"Okay, the king doesn't dislike the old woman, the old woman just says a few words, the king thinks it makes sense, listens, and if it doesn't make sense, he listens to it." The Queen Mother paused and sighed: "The king's original intention is good, to eliminate the troubles of his henchmen internally, to repel the attack of the Three Jin Dynasty externally, and to weaken the Three Jin." But the king forgot about the current general trend, Hu Yang lost too fast, Yiqu chaos came too fast, Sanjin came too fast, and now we can only solve one internal and external troubles. If you want to solve it all together, time simply does not allow it. If it is as the king said, it is very likely that none of them will be solved. ”

"Guanzhong is the foundation of my Great Qin, if Guanzhong is chaotic, my Great Qin's vitality will be greatly damaged, and it will not be able to recover for ten years. Relatively speaking, the invasion of Hedong and Hexi by Han, Zhao, and Wei is more like a disease of ringworm. Even if Hexi and Hedong are lost, as long as our Great Qin national strength is still there, it can be recaptured in a few battles. Back then, Wu Qi defeated Hexi County, and it didn't take it back long before we took it back! As long as Hangu is closed, our Great Qin will be invincible. Internal and external troubles, which is more important and which is more important, the king should be able to distinguish clearly. ”

"As for how to deal with the threat of the Chu State, it is better to solve. The state of Chu is ready to move because our Great Qin captured the capital of Yingdu, and the state of Chu just wants to take advantage of the weakness of our Great Qin to recapture the capital of Yingdu. From the perspective of the old woman, it is better to return Yingdu to the Chu State generously and rebuild the old friendship with the Chu State. In this way, our Great Qin has one less enemy and one more ally. Send another eloquent person to lobby the king of Chu, and promise his benefit, and the state of Chu will definitely attack Han and Wei. What's more, we may not be able to hold the two counties of Hedong and Hexi! ”

"What does the queen mean?" King Qin asked uncertainly.

"The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei are powerful, and the small cities under the jurisdiction of the two counties are already indispensable, and the old woman thinks that it is better to abandon the car and protect the handsome! Gather the money, food, and army in the county town, and defend the county seat. As long as you survive for a period of time, the general trend of the world will not change. ”

"What a clever plan for the queen mother! Erchen understood! King Qin finally smiled.

The queen mother means not to judge the success or failure of one city and one pool, and to shrink the defense line at the time of this big defeat. This not only strengthened the garrison of Dingyang and Anyi, but also dispersed the enemy's forces with nearby cities. If the enemy army attacks, it must consider heavy casualties, and if it does not attack, Dingyang and Anyi will become thorns in the enemy's side, making the enemy restless and holding back a large number of enemies.

The Qin State could take advantage of this time to contact the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi, and Yan, and as long as the three kingdoms came to the aid of the Qin State, Han, Zhao, and Wei would definitely not dare to act rashly, and the matter of attacking the two counties of Hexi and Hedong might not be over.

"If only the king understood! The old woman is old, and the future of Daqin still depends on the king! ”

King Qin listened to the Queen Mother's words and thought about it, could it be that he was hinting at something? Before he had time to think, King Qin quickly summoned his ministers and told him of his decision.
