Chapter Eighty-Three: The Army's Heart Is Like Iron
Among the Qin army, is there a hero who dares to take my life in front of the battle?
A shrill voice sounded in the palace of King Xianyang, and Zhao Gao read the battle of Wangcheng. Word by word, very detailed.
It's just that he hasn't finished reading yet, and in this temple, there is already a loud shout.
"Rampant!"
In the palace, the generals of the Qin State held their breath.
Zhao will attack the royal city in half a day.
This military situation was like a thorn, piercing the bodies of the Qin generals present, stimulating their nerves.
Now the main force of the Qin army is on the front line of Hangu Pass to deal with the five-nation coalition army, and the Hexi defenders are going north to support Shangjun to deal with the Xiongnu, east of Liyang, and the troops are empty.
General Qin, who was present, knew that he would lose, but this loss was a little too ugly.
Pang Xuan's partial army invaded the hinterland of Guanzhong, if they entered a no-man's land, if they didn't give a reaction, it wouldn't make the people of the world think that Qin could be bullied.
"The last general is going to fight!"
"The last general is going to fight!"
......
For a while, most of the generals above the court stood up.
The crowd was boiling, and the King of Qin stood on the throne and was silent.
Lu Buwei walked out and waved his sleeves.
"Generals, please get up!"
It's just that the dignified Xiangbang of the Great Qin, the words at this moment can't satisfy the powerful generals in this court.
The heart of the army is like iron.
The corners of Changpingjun's mouth curled slightly, and he looked at Lu Buwei, and the other party's eyes happened to look at it as well.
Lü Buwei had already felt that this was a crisis that would shake the authority of his prime minister.
Changping Jun once said that Fan Yu led 100,000 troops to garrison Hedong. It's just that it was rejected by Xiangbang Lü Buwei.
For some reason, this news has been widely circulated in Xianyang City recently, and the words directly pointed out that Lü Buweitun had a heavy army in Luo, which was suspected of misleading the country.
Now, the battle situation ahead is like a fire, which has ignited the anger of everyone present.
Presumably, the situation on the Hangu Pass side is also quite exciting.
In the army, the court, and the people, the three fires burned at the same time, pointing directly at Lü Buwei.
Zhao Ji sat on the side and felt the atmosphere in this palace. It's just that he is the queen mother of Great Qin, and he can't do anything at the moment, so he is so interested that he closes his mouth and waits for Lu Buwei's idea.
Changping Jun is taking advantage of the situation.
It's just that Lü Buwei is not without a way to deal with it. Just as he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, a female voice came from outside the hall.
"What's going on today, why is it so lively?"
With the support of the palace maid, the Empress Dowager Huayang walked in.
Her appearance made Lu Buwei frown slightly, a little surprised.
"The Queen Mother!"
The ministers saluted, and the Empress Dowager Huayang walked to the front of the palace and stood in front of the throne.
"Your Majesty!"
"The Queen Mother has always been recuperating in the deep palace, how can she be in the mood to come to Xianyang Palace today?"
The appearance of the Empress Dowager Huayang surprised Lü Buwei and Changpingjun, but the King of Qin on the throne was smiling.
"The old man lives in the deep palace, I heard that the coalition army has recently invaded Guanzhong and caused some trouble?"
"Pang Xuan led the Four-Nation Alliance Army and invaded the north of the Wei River, and his general Zhao Shuang has already conquered the royal city, and the ministers are discussing this matter just now."
"The old body said why is this temple so lively, it turns out that this is the case."
The Empress Dowager Huayang changed her words, smiled softly, turned around, and faced the courtiers.
"Pang Xuan is an old man, Zhao Shuang is just a child, and there is no one in the six countries of Shandong, so he sent these two people here, and it is also worthy of my Great Qin's elite to be treated like this?"
The Empress Dowager Huayang spoke, with an unquestionable majesty in her voice.
"Get up!"
The generals who were kneeling on the ground stood up one after another and returned to their own trains.
Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes slightly, Zhao Ji clasped her hands, the Empress Dowager Huayang had not been out of the house for a long time, but as soon as she appeared, she proved her huge influence in the Qin State with practical actions.
It was King Qin, who always had a smile on his face, watching all this.
Empress Dowager Huayang's eyes leaked through Changpingjun, who was unwilling and confused on his face, and looked at Lu Buwei.
"Xiangbang received the grace of the previous king, and he bears the weight of entrusting orphans, so he must have already had a countermeasure, right?"
Lu Buwei bowed and bowed.
"Pang Xuan's army is coming from afar, although its momentum is strong, its strength will be exhausted. Gaoling, the gateway of Xianyang, the minister has ordered the general Zhang Tang to lead a heavy army to garrison this place, and it should be safe. ”
"Xiangbang is old and serious, and he is worthy of being the candidate for the orphan that the previous king valued."
The words of the Empress Dowager Huayang calmed the surging tide above the court, and also represented the two largest forces in the court of the Qin State, which had joined forces at this moment.
.......
"Queen Mother, I have already forced Lü Buwei into a desperate situation, why did you come out to relieve him?"
In the deep palace, Changping Jun questioned, very puzzled.
"What, think I'm in the way?"
The Empress Dowager Huayang said softly, making Changpingjun, who was already menacing, lower his head.
"Nephew doesn't dare."
"It's good to know."
The Empress Dowager Huayang sat on the soft couch, and Changpingjun handed her fragrant tea.
"My nephew still doesn't understand, why did the Queen Mother help him Lu Buwei?"
Empress Dowager Huayang took a slight sip and put down the teacup in her hand.
"Can that also be called a desperate situation?"
The Empress Dowager Huayang smiled, and with the support of Changping Jun, she stood up and walked to the birdcage on the side.
"Lü Buwei's authority comes from the king, but you forget one thing, before the king came to power, he was also the king's protector."
"If you move him, you will move the king!"
Changpingjun looked around and wanted to say something, but it was a little difficult to speak.
"Say whatever you want! Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji's eyes and ears can't get here. ”
Changpingjun nodded and whispered.
"This time the coalition is in a hurry, Pang Xuan's troops are unstoppable, and I estimate that Zhang Tang may not be able to stop it. We will make some moves in the back, just wait for Lü Buwei's prestige to be swept away, and then try our best to turn the tide and negotiate peace with the coalition forces. ”
When the Empress Dowager Huayang heard this, her intention to tease the bird was gone, and she scolded.
"Idiot!"
Listening to the angry scolding of the Empress Dowager Huayang, Changpingjun lowered his head and made promises.
But looking at Changping Jun's appearance, the Empress Dowager Huayang was not angry, and then scolded.
"Empress Dowager Xuan, Empress Ye Yang, I! Although we are women, we can marry from other countries, how can we fall into the name of Chu State? In this Qin country, after going through bloody storms and bloody rains, he is full of iron courage, which one is half a point worse than those men who fought on the battlefield. It's our Chu State, how can we do our best to be a man like you! So it was with your father, and so it is with you. None of them are successful. ”
"Lost the city and lost the land, only know the peace!"
"The Queen Mother is angry."
Changping Jun had never seen the Empress Dowager Huayang make such a big fire, and she stood bent down, not daring to make a move.
"What kind of characters are Pang Xuan and Zhao Shuang? In his old age, he has repeatedly taken dangerous strategies and made contributions wholeheartedly. A year before the crown, tens of thousands of troops in the palm of his hand, famous all over the world, the edge is flourishing. ”
The Empress Dowager Huayang lowered her head, her phoenix eyes were like knives, and she didn't dare to make a move when she saw Changpingjun bowing her head.
"They'll talk to you?"
"It's... This..."
"This and this." The Empress Dowager Huayang waved her hand, and her sleeves were displayed, "Pang Xuan has the heart to destroy Qin, and Zhao Shuang has the ambition of a tiger and a wolf." When they attack the city of Xianyang, you and I will not be able to escape the humiliation of Chu prisoners. ”
"This time, not only can you not make a mistake behind Lu Buwei, but you must also try your best to help him."
"Nephew understood!"
The Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Changping Jun and taught earnestly.
"You have to remember that those who don't want to die can't be handed over."
After Changping Jun left, in the empty hall, only the frightened birds just now chirped again.
The Empress Dowager Huayang murmured slightly, her eyes were deep.
"Why is it called Zhao Shuang?"
