"King Qin is dead. Why are you still desperately resisting? It's better to surrender to my Zhao army, and you can return home as soon as possible." Pang Xuan shouted while engaging the Qin army.

As for whether Qin Junxiang believes it or not, it doesn't matter.

Zhao's purpose was only to spread the rumors among the Qin army, forcing Qin Wangji to get up from his hospital bed and drag his old and seriously injured body to patrol the camp.

If Qin Wangji did not go to patrol the camp, it would only make the rumors intensify and let Zhao Jun's plan succeed.

Qin Jun didn't believe that King Qin was dead, but King Qin was shot by a crossbow arrow that all of them saw with their own eyes, although the crossbow was not equal to death, there was a risk of death, not to mention that King Qin was already an old man in his seventies.

Many Qin troops were affected, their faces were flustered, and their attack speed slowed down.

"Don't believe what Zhao Ren said, the king's injuries have been properly treated, and he will recover after a while." Wang Jian hurriedly said, and at the same time attacked Pang Xuan, wanting to stop the other party from speaking.

"Hahaha, all the arrows in King Qin have been quenched and poisoned, this poison can only be solved by my Zhao people, what antidote can Qin Jun take in such a short time? Has King Qin ever shown up since he fled back yesterday?" Pang Xuan tried his best to scare Qin Jun, how serious and how to say.

Anyway, the Qin army only saw the arrow of King Qin, and he didn't know whether there was poison on the arrow.

When Qin Jun heard this, the panic on his face became even more obvious, since they fled back yesterday, until now, they really haven't seen King Qin.

They ignored how much time had passed since yesterday evening, and even if King Qin was not injured, it was unlikely that he would show up, let alone be injured now.

But the Qin army was on the battlefield and was engaged with the enemy, so how could he have time to think about the flaws in Pang Xuan's words.

"Withdraw!" Seeing that the morale of the army began to fluctuate, Wang Jian immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.

"General Wang Jian should think about the general's words." Pang Xuan did not chase and returned to the camp with the army.

In the following period, the Zhao army and the Qin army launched a long but not fierce battle on the banks of the Turbulent River, and both sides were very careful and tacitly agreed.

Tian Dan harassed the Qin army from time to time with the shooting battalion and strong crossbow soldiers every day, and there was no pattern to be found.

The whole of more than 100,000 Qin soldiers was in danger, and they couldn't even sleep well at night. I was mentally tired every day, but I had to raise my spirit to deal with Zhao Jun's arrow rain, because a trance could really kill Huangquan.

No one wants to die.

King Qin was about to vomit from nausea, he had slept well at night, but an arrow suddenly hit the bed, waking him up from his sleep, and he didn't sleep all night.

In order to prevent a surprise attack by the Zhao army, the King of Qin could only arrange for his guards to take turns guarding them day and night.

But he has guards, and ordinary soldiers don't have guards.

Even if the arrow hit rate is touching due to the distance, there are always a few unlucky eggs who are killed by the arrow in each wave of arrow rain.

This kind of death is not the same as dying on the battlefield.

When everyone goes to the battlefield, they know that they may die in battle, and they will be prepared in their hearts.

But there was no preparation for being suddenly killed by an arrow falling from the sky, which caused everyone to be in fear and worry for twelve hours a day.

In addition, Qin Wangji did not appear for a long time, and the rumors of his death intensified, and many Qin soldiers began to become active.

Bai Qi was studying how to deal with Zhao Jun's ultra-long-range attacks every day, and he thought of two directions, one was to attack and the other was to defend.

The offensive is to create an ultra-long-range attack army for the Qin army, not to ask how lethal it is, as long as it can disgust the Zhao army.

Defense is to improve the defensive array, which is improved on the basis of the immovable mountain formation, and becomes a defensive array that can be maintained for a long time, does not consume internal qi at ordinary times, and is in a hidden state, and only appears after being attacked, and consumes internal qi.

This kind of big array had no practical value before, so no one developed it, and now it can only be handled by Bai Qi himself.

But soon, Bai Qi had to fight for the army

Intensified rumors and upset.

As Zhao Jun continued to release rumors, coupled with the fact that King Qin did not appear for a long time, the news in the army that King Qin had died spread everywhere, and it was useless to prohibit it, but it made everyone believe the content of the rumors even more.

There were even rumors that Bai Qi deliberately blocked the news of King Qin's death and wanted to replace him.

Even Wang Ji secretly asked Bai Qi if he had any thoughts about the throne, and after being angrily reprimanded by Bai Qi, he was relieved.

Although he admired Bai Qi, he was still loyal to the Qin State, and if Bai Qi opposed Qin, he could only stand up against Bai Qi.

Bai Qi had to report to the King of Qin and ask the King of Qin to inspect the camp. This may aggravate King Qin's condition, but it is the only and most effective way for the Qin army.

As long as the soldiers are allowed to see the King of Qin, all rumors will naturally be self-defeating.

At the same time that Qin Wangji was inspecting the camp, Zhao Kuo was also inspecting the camp.

However, the purpose of Qin Wangji's inspection of the camp was to tell everyone that he was still alive and to achieve the purpose of appeasing people's hearts, and he would leave after a short stay.

Zhao Kuo is different, except for sleeping at night, he spends almost all of his time inspecting the camp, shuttling through various barracks to recognize people, and chatting with the soldiers.

At first, Zhao Kuo only appeared in Zhao Jun, but soon, Zhao Kuo was not satisfied with this.

In Handan all these years, he has long known Sergeant Zhao almost well, and it is an exaggeration to say that everyone knows each other, but Zhao Kuo can know nearly one-tenth of the old soldiers who have been stationed outside Handan. Fifty or more people can basically know each other.

So Zhao Kuo slowly appeared in the camp of Han Weiqi's three armies......

Storm Kite and the others didn't care, Zhao Kuo was the leader of the Four Nations Alliance and the commander of the coalition army, so it was normal to inspect the military camp.

Of course, the most important thing is that Storm Kite and the others did not understand Zhao Kuo's true purpose.

In order to remember more soldiers, Zhao Kuo also ordered two clerks to follow behind, write down the content of his chat with the soldiers, and return to the camp in the evening to review it again.

In the evening, I had to go to the camp for the wounded soldiers, personally apply medicine to the wounded soldiers, and chat with them. When people are hurt, they are often the most vulnerable in their hearts, and Zhao Kuo's identity can often make them remember it for a lifetime.

After a while, Zhao Kuo obviously felt that the attitude of the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms of Han Wei Qi had changed towards him, if he used to be more in awe of him because of his identity as King Zhao, now he has more respect and love.

Especially when I was able to call out their names, the whole person jumped with excitement.

Zhao Kuo doesn't want this war to end early, and it will end later, so it would be better for him to buy more people's hearts.

That is, during the period when King Qin and King Zhao were patrolling together, a rumor suddenly appeared in Xianyang City, spreading rapidly like a prairie fire.

The king of Qin died, Bai Qibi did not mourn, and secretly united with the Zhao State, intending to replace the Qin State, sit in Guanzhong, and establish himself as the king!

"That's good." In the prince's mansion, Qin Zhu was in a hurry.

Since Qin Wangji set out on the expedition, the power of Qin has fallen into the hands of Prince Zhu.

Although Prince Zhu is a prince, in fact, he has rarely had the opportunity to deal with national affairs before, let alone supervise the country, and it is the first time that he has lived for such a long time.

Qin Wangji was basically in a puppet state in the first half of his life, and only in the second half of his life did he grasp the power of Qin and become a veritable king of Qin, so he attached great importance to rights, and Qin Zhu, as the crown prince, had almost no rights.

In the past few years, the continuous rise of the Zhao State has made Qin Wangji realize that in his own life, he may not be able to defeat the six eastern countries, and even if the descendants are not virtuous enough, there is a risk of being annexed by the Zhao State.

Qin Wangji gradually opened up part of his rights to cultivate the crown prince and the prince grandson Chu.

Compared with the crown prince, in fact, Qin Wangji is more optimistic about Wang Sun Zichu.

The reason is simple, Prince Zhu is already fifty years old.

Fifty years old is not considered a low life expectancy in this era.

Of course, it is not a long life among the nobility. Most nobles would have survived if they hadn't been killed for various reasons

This age.

But Prince Zhu's health is not good, and it is difficult to say when he may die violently.

And Wang Sun Zichu is even younger, and youth means the future and hope.

"Father, the most important thing is to confirm the truth of the news first." Wang Sun Zichu reminded.

Regardless of the rumors, confirm them before making the right response.

You can prepare in advance, but you can't make choices in advance, and if the truth of the matter is the opposite of the choice, it will only be self-defeating.

"Lone has already sent someone to the city to verify. It's just that...... Some time ago, Lone just received information from the front line, saying that his father failed to attack and kill King Zhao in person, was shot by Zhao Jun's crossbow arrows, was injured and fled back to the camp, and has been recuperating since then......" Although Prince Zhu was a little panicked, he didn't even think of sending someone to verify, but the news he received before made him have to worry that his father really died.

"What!" Wang Sun Zichu, Yang Quanjun, and Mrs. Huayang exclaimed.

Prince Zhu has very few staff, and the matter is confidential, so it is inconvenient for outsiders to know, because only a few people closest to him discuss it with Prince Zhu.

Hearing Prince Zhu's words, the three of them also had to wonder if Qin Wangji had really died.

There have been too many arrows killed in these years.

"Why didn't the prince say it earlier?" Yang Quanjun said loudly.

"After all, this kind of thing is not a glorious thing, and Lone didn't tell everyone." Prince Zhu sighed, even if Qin Wangji is shameless, he has to think about his father's reputation.

If it succeeded, the face-to-face attack failed, how could he tell others.

"Your Highness, it's better not to do it twice...... Took...... Ascend to the throne as king." Yang Quanjun showed a hideous face, walked up to the crown prince, and said in a low voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Prince Zhu was taken aback by Yang Quanjun, and almost stood up from his seat, angrily scolding his wife and brother.

After being the crown prince for so many years, it is impossible to say that he does not have any idea about the throne of Qin, and the prince himself is worried about whether he will live to succeed his father and become the king of Qin.

But Prince Zhu is well aware of his father's prestige in the Qin State.

If Dad hadn't died, as long as he stood outside Xianyang City and raised his arms, all the ministers would have defected without hesitation at all, not to mention that his dad still had an army of two or three hundred thousand by his side.

Not only will he become a complete joke, but he will also allow Zhao State to seize the opportunity to break through the defense line and even attack Guanzhong, so that Qin State will fall into a place of no return.

"Your Highness, the road from Xianyang to Yucheng is long, and we don't know what the specific situation is on the front line, in case the king ...... It's too late, and even if Your Highness doesn't ascend the throne, you should prepare early. If the king is unharmed, then everyone will be happy, everything will be as usual, and nothing will get in the way. What if the king really ...... We're not going to be helpless." Yang Quanjun said.

Prince Zhu was a little hesitant, he was a little greedy for the throne of King Qin, but it did not reach the point of lust for profit, he knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, and he was not enough to see in front of his father.

"The concubine thinks what Yang Quanjun said makes sense." Mrs. Huayang said.

"Okay, then prepare first." Seeing his favorite lady speak, Prince Zhu, who was already soft-eared, quickly agreed to Yang Quanjun's suggestion.

……

In the camp of the Qin army, Qin Wangji had just finished his inspection, dragged back to the camp tent tiredly, endured the pain and asked the doctor to give him medicine.

"Your Majesty, you must recuperate for a while. If you keep tossing, the wound will worsen." The doctor admonished Qin Wangji while dressing the medicine.

He had said this to Qin Wangji many times, but Qin Wangji never took it to heart, and he still had to inspect the camp the next day.

Unexpectedly, this time Qin Wangji readily agreed.

"Okay, let's rest for a few days." Qin Wangji nodded.

He didn't want to patrol the camp either, but Zhao Jun was too cheap, and every time he fought with the Qin army, he would send someone to shout that he was dead, forcing him to come forward to expose Zhao Jun's lies, and the burden on his body increased.

fortunately

After more than half a month of inspection, the soldiers' morale has stabilized, and everyone no longer believes in Zhao Jun's rumors, and they can rest for a while.

If Zhao Jun spreads rumors again, he should be able to recover from his injuries.

"King, the envoy to the Yan Kingdom has returned." At this moment, a guard walked in and reported with his fists clenched.

"Let him in." Qin Wangji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly beckoned.

"Greetings to the king." The messenger stepped into the tent and reported with his fists folded.

"It's been more than a month since Qing left, but the widow is worried about death, has Qing ever seen King Yan? How is the war between the Yan Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom?" Qin Wangji hurriedly asked.

"The Great King...... Yan Guo ...... The country of Yan is gone......" The envoy spoke slowly, and his face was a little ugly.

Whoever is sent on an envoy to a country, and when he walks there, he finds that the country is gone, and I am afraid that his face will not look good.

"What did you say?" Qin Wangji's face instantly became gloomy.

Such a big Yan country, it was fine a few months ago, and now you tell me it's gone?

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that the envoy couldn't lie anyway, Qin Wangji would have ordered him to be dragged out and beheaded.

Fan Ju next to him was also stunned, that is the Yan Kingdom, no matter how weak it is, the land is thousands of miles long, and the population is millions, how could it be suddenly destroyed like this, and the Qin State has not even received any news.
