Chapter Forty-Eight: Who Is More Insidious Than Whom
Gaodu.
"In this battle, our army lost four generals, Hu Yang, Sima Jin, Li Yao, and Zhao Tu. Since Shang Jun changed the law, my Great Qin has never suffered such a big loss. β
Bai Qi's face was pitch black, and the joints of his right hand holding Long Yuan's sword were a little pale, and his body exuded a cold chill.
No one spoke, and no one had yet recovered from the defeat.
Sima Terrier looked at the empty seat next to him, thinking of his captured son, and couldn't help but feel sad, his eyes reddened.
"The responsibility for this battle lies with me, and I will report it to the king truthfully." Then, Bai Qi said in a deep voice.
The generals raised their heads and looked at Bai Qi in surprise, such a serious loss, even Bai Qi would be deprived of his title, and he might even be executed.
"However, this battle is not over yet, our army will surely win the final victory, all you have to do is to continue to obey my orders." Bai Qi said undoubtedly.
The appearance of Le Yi and Tian Dan was indeed beyond his expectations, but so what?
Changping landscape is good.
It's just right to bury a few famous generals!
"No."
The generals shouted in unison.
They believe that Bai Qi, and the Great Qin behind them, will definitely be able to achieve the final victory.
"General, the things have been brought to the courtyard." At this time, a soldier walked in to report.
Bai got up and strode into the courtyard, followed by the generals.
This is a war horse equipped with a saddle and stirrups, and the Qin army desperately grabbed one and brought it back.
Bai Qi turned over and got on the horse, put his feet into the stirrups, and suddenly felt a sense of solidity, and the front and back of the saddle were raised high, stabilizing the body, and there was no need to worry about moving the body back and forth.
Bai Qi's legs clamped the horse's belly, the war horse was in pain, and galloped in the yard, he sat on the war horse, his body was stable, and he did not feel half shaken.
"Sure enough, it's a good thing, such two simple gadgets directly raised the combat effectiveness of the cavalry to a higher level, I didn't expect there to be such a capable person in the Zhao army."
Bai Qi rode twice, turned over and dismounted, stroked the saddle and stirrups, and couldn't put it down.
"Send this horse to Xianyang immediately, and let the king arrange for Shaofu to make every effort to build this thing and equip all the cavalry." Bai Qi ordered.
"General...... Our cavalry ...... All of them have been killed. Wang Yi said in a low voice.
Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said in a daze: "It's me who is confused, I will let the king send troops over again." β
Wang Yi looked at the white hair in front of him, and his originally black hair actually had a few more silver strands, and his nose couldn't help but be sour.
It turns out that Daqin's Optimus Prime also has an old day......
β¦β¦
Xianyang.
Qin Wangji is holding a small meeting with several important ministers of the Qin State to determine the matters that need to be dealt with recently, and the court will notify them tomorrow.
There are so many people up and down the Qin State, and the ones who can really make up their minds are actually the few in front of them, no matter what happens, if these few don't nod, don't think about implementing it.
As for the Great Pilgrimage, it is not for discussing things.
Dozens or even more than a hundred ministers are discussing in one hall, even if they don't think about the results of the discussion for a day.
Of course, when you have a big court meeting, you will still have a little fun, give everyone time to discuss, and announce the things that have been decided, so that everyone feels that they are valued.
"King, now that Qin and Zhao are at war, Wu Anjun will definitely defeat the Zhao army in the near future, and Zhao is afraid that Wang Sun Yiren will harm Wang Sun Yiren, so it is better to take Wang Sun Yiren back to China."
After the discussion was over, Xiangguo Fan Ju stepped forward and said cautiously, while checking Qin Wangji's face, once King Qin had impatience on his face, he would stop.
"Wang Sun Yiren?" Qin Wangji asked strangely.
Yes, seeing this expression, Fan Ju knew that Qin Wangji had long forgotten that he still had this grandson.
In fact, not only Qin Wangji, Fan Ju didn't know that there was also a king and grandson named Yiren in Zhao State as a hostage, until a businessman named LΓΌ Buwei came to him last night......
"Yiren is the prince's son, he has been in Zhao since he was a child, he is known to be virtuous, and now he is an adult, so he should be recalled to arrange a teacher to teach him well." Next to him, Yang Quanjun said.
LΓΌ Buwei also saw him yesterday.
"In that case, let the prince handle this matter." Qin Wangji waved his hand, he has dozens of grandsons, and he can't recognize them all, where can he manage so much.
Yang Quanjun was about to say something, but at this time, a guard dressed in a black-clothed Xuanniao costume walked in quickly.
"King, the front line is urgent."
The eunuch next to him hurriedly walked over to take the urgent report and handed it to Qin Wangji.
"Haha, it must be the news of Wu Anjun's victory." Qin Wangji said happily.
Fan Ju stared, and had a very bad premonition in his heart.
If the battle is won, the guards will definitely shout 'good news from the front', not 'urgent news from the front line'. β
However, Qin Wangji didn't notice this, he opened the battle report excitedly, his face changed in an instant, and he kicked several cases out with one kick.
"Zhao Guo!" Qin Wangji roared angrily.
"I don't know what happened, my lord?" At this time, only Fan Ju dared to speak.
"Wu Anjun is defeated." Qin Wangji threw the battle report in front of Fan Ju.
Fan Ju hurriedly picked up the battle report, opened it, and was shocked, "This ...... How is this possible...... How could Le Yi and Tian Dan appear in Changping. β
"What? Le Yi and Tian Dan in Changping? A man with a rough face and a body size no less than a flame bear exclaimed.
If Le Yi saw this man, he would definitely be able to recognize him, because he was Si Li, the captain of the Qin State who led the Qin army and Le Yi's Five Kingdoms to fight together.
Si Li was originally a Shu person, and after Sima mistakenly destroyed Shu, he began to follow the Qin State, because he was brave and good at fighting, and he was loyal to the Qin State, and he was soon promoted to the rank of national lieutenant, and won the trust of the King of Qin.
"I didn't expect Zhao Guo to make Zhao Kuo a general on the surface, but secretly ordered Le Yi and Tian Dan to be generals." Qin Wangji said in a deep voice.
He thought that it was sinister enough for him to secretly replace Wang Ji with Bai Qi, who would have thought that Zhao Guo would be more insidious than him!
"What should we do?" King Qin suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at several important ministers.
"King, Bai Qi has suffered heavy losses this time, and he should be beheaded according to his crime." Jingyang Jun Qin Fu immediately said.
Bai Qi was recommended by Wei Ran, Wei Ran was the prime minister of Qin, and Qin Fu was the general of Qin, and he had conflicts with Wei Ran.
Now that Bai Qi is in trouble, Qin Fu is naturally in trouble.
"King, even if you punish crimes, you should wait until after the war is over, and you must not punish crimes now." Fan Ju immediately stopped.
Although he also has contradictions with Bai Qi, he knows that Bai Qi is the most capable general in Qin, if he can't beat Zhao Guo, he can't beat Zhao Guo if he is replaced by others.
If the Qin State wins this war, Bai Qi will kill him.
If he loses, Bai Qi must not kill.
"Then according to Aiqing's opinion?" Qin Wangji looked at Fan Ju.
"Send troops to support Wu Anjun. In addition, the king can send people from the Xuanniao Division to Zhao State, bribe Zhao Wangdan's close attendants, and trick King Zhao into summoning Lian Po, Tian Dan, and Le Yi back to Handan. When the time comes, it will be easy for Wu Anjun to deal with Zhao Kuo and Li Mu, two inexperienced young generals. Fan Ju said.
"Order Zhang Tang to lead 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry to support Wu Anjun." After a long while, Qin Wangji said.
The war has reached this point, and Zhao State can no longer hold on, but Qin State is not much better than Zhao State, but it is just holding on with one breath.
"The king is wise." Several people leaned over and said.
"Is there anyone in Handan?" Qin Wangji looked at the guards beside him.
"Your Majesty, there is." The guard bowed
"Send someone to contact and find a way to buy King Zhao's close attendants, don't care how much money you spend." Qin Wangji said.
"No."
