Qin State, Xianyang.

King Qin sat in front of the main hall, his right hand shook gently, his left hand stroked his beard, his eyes were a little blurry, and the corners of his mouth grinned a faint smile, without half the majesty of a monarch.

When he was young, he first ascended the throne, the queen mother was in power, the marquis was a general, his power was hollowed out, and he could only use wine to kill his sorrows every day.

In order to reduce the consumption of grain, Shang Jun used more grain for war and banned the use of surplus grain to make wine, which caused the price of wine in Qin to skyrocket tenfold, and it was still in short supply.

As a result, every time he drank, he was criticized by the ministers, and he was also punished by the Queen Mother for copying Shang Jun's prohibition of alcohol.

At that time, King Qin especially resented Shang Ying in his heart.

Later, with the help of Fan Ju, he deposed the Empress Dowager Xuan, expelled the four nobles, and took back the rights in his hands.

At this time, he realized the greatness of Shang Jun, and often sighed why there was no Shang Jun to assist him.

Since then, King Qin has rarely drunk alcohol, only when he is very happy, he will pour a full glass, sit in front of the main hall, look at the great rivers and mountains, and taste slowly.

For example, now, news has just come from Shaofu that 20,000 saddle stirrups have been built and can be sent to the front line at any time.

This means that the only shortcoming of the Qin State has been filled, and the six countries of the Kwantung region are no longer the opponents of the Qin State!

Great Qin, it's time to sweep the world!

"King, news is coming from the front." At this time, Fan Ju walked in.

"Read." King Qin squinted his eyes slightly.

"Wu Anjun has seized Zhao's Baili Stone and eldest son, cutting off the Zhao army's grain route." Fan Ju said.

"yes, yes. Immediately issued an order to levy all strong men over the age of fifteen in Hanoi to rush to Changping, intercept the reinforcements of Zhao, and give each of them a knighthood. King Qin stood up suddenly, and his body burst out with a momentum that swept across the universe.

"And one more piece of news...... The Wild King, the Big Pass Pass, and the Heavenly Gate are lost......" Fan Ju said cautiously.

"The Wild King is lost? Wei and South Korea shot? King Qin asked in a deep voice, and the entire hall was like a cold winter in an instant.

"It's Zhao Feiqi. Zhao Fei rode south from Baicheng, destroyed our army's grain route, captured Yewang, and killed all the soldiers in the city. Not only that, none of the 60,000 people who were transported by our army in Hanoi were spared. Fan Ju looked at the battle report and said.

"Zhao Jun didn't even let go of the people who transported grain and grass, it was simply cruel and unkind! Butcher! Executioner! King Qin kicked the desk over, rolled down the steps to the outside of the main hall, his teeth clucked, and his eyes burst out with uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion.

Hehe, Zhao Jun is brutal and unkind? The people who were killed by others and transported grain and grass were barely considered soldiers. The Qin army slaughtered the city directly, and even the unarmed people were not spared.

Otherwise, how do you think that after the next city, how did the tens of thousands of heads come from? Do you really think they're all soldiers?

Fan Ju felt a flurry of slander in his heart.

Of course, he would never say that.

He is not one of those rotten Confucians who talk about benevolence and righteousness every day and the Mo family who shouts that they love non-aggression and are nosy, how many people in the enemy country have died and care about his?

"What else did Wu Anjun say?" King Qin suppressed the anger in his heart and asked with a gloomy face.

"Wu Anjun said that if the king changed to transport grain and grass from Duan, he would trap the main force of the Zhao army in Changping. In addition, Wu Anjun asked the king to be careful that Zhao united the other five kingdoms. Fan Ju leaned over and said.

"What do you think?" King Qin looked at Fan Ju.

Compared with Bai Qi, he still believes in Fan Ju more, not only because Fan Ju once helped him abolish the Queen Mother and drive out the four nobles, but more importantly, Fan Ju is not in charge of the army.

"Send an envoy to Handan to negotiate peace, and spread the news to the other five countries. At the same time, the strong men of Hanoi were levied to surround the wild king and exterminate Zhao Feiqi. Fan Ju said.

"Where's Changping?"

"Listen to Wu Anjun, you must not give up at this time. Our army can at least transport grain and grass from Duanshi, and it will not be a problem to hold on for a few months, but the grain route of the Zhao army will be completely cut off, and at most it will persist until winter, and it will inevitably collapse. ”

"Okay, just do it, notify Lou to send envoy Zhao Guo, and the widow will go to Hanoi in person to mobilize the people."

King Qin strode towards the outside of the hall.

……

Zhao Guo, Handan.

Since the last good news came, the people of Handan were happy and excited, and even many nobles took out their surplus grain from their families to help the people outside the city, in order to gain the favor of King Zhao.

The whole city seems to have returned to its former prosperity.

However, on this day, a fast horse broke into the city of Handan and knocked the prosperous Handan back into a dead silence again.

"Tell me what should I do?" King Zhao sat in his seat, and there was no glory on his face.

Tell me about this Zhao Kuo, just sent a good news from the front foot, saying that he killed 200,000 Qin troops, and the grain channel of the back foot was cut off by the Qin army.

It's not even half a month before and after!

This also ...... Alas!

There were a few more wrinkles on King Zhao's young face.

"King, the 400,000 troops of my Zhao State have to be saved, and now I must levy adult men and slaves of nobles in China to Changping, and give knighthoods and certain compensation afterwards." Lin Xiangru got up slowly and coughed constantly.

"But...... Where does the food and grass come from? King Zhao said helplessly.

If you risk the loss of the country, Zhao can still recruit some soldiers, the problem is that even if there are soldiers, there is no food!

Now it's not just the people who have no food, but even the nobles who don't have food and grass!

"You can borrow grain from Qi State." Zuo Shi touched the dragon and said.

"The king, the minister is willing to go to the country of Qi to borrow grain." Lou Chang took a step forward, leaned over and said.

"Oh no, my lord." King Zhao was about to agree, but Yu Xin suddenly stood up and stopped.

"Yu Qing, why is this?" King Zhao looked at Yu Xin strangely.

"Could it be that Yu Jun thinks I'm not worthy of being called?" Lou Chang asked in a deep voice.

"No, it's just that you are an important minister of Zhao State, and Zhao State still needs you, so it is not appropriate to go to Qi State in person. Great King, Su Dai Su Jun just returned to Handan a few days ago, it is better to send him to the Qi State, he will definitely be able to convince the King of Qi. Yu Xin bowed his head and said.

"Sudai?" King Zhao was a little puzzled at first, but after a while, he finally thought of who Su Dai was. said excitedly, "He is actually in Handan?" With his talents, he will definitely be able to borrow food for my Zhao country! ”

When his father, King Huiwen, attacked the Yan Kingdom, it was Su Dai who persuaded King Huiwen with the story of "the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit" to go to a military disaster for the Yan Kingdom.

"King, although Su Jun's talent is famous all over the world, he is only a guest of my Zhao Kingdom, how can he show the sincerity of my Zhao Kingdom? It is precisely because I am an important minister of the Zhao State that I am more suitable to envoy to the Qi State. Lou Chang said.

"King, Su Dai ......" Yu Xin was about to say something, but was interrupted by King Zhao stretching out his hand.

"Okay, since that's the case, then Lou Qing will send an envoy to Qi State." King Zhao thought that Su Dai was once the secretary of Yan State, and felt that he was still trustworthy.

Yu Xin sighed and had no choice but to retreat.
