"King Zhao, the foreign ministers don't know where Fan Ju is now." Lu Buwei leaned over and said, he really didn't cover up for Fan Ju, when the war began, Fan Ju was still standing beside King Qin with him, and while fighting, he found that Fan Ju was gone.

At first, I thought that Fan Ju had some arrangements, but now I know that Fan Ju actually escaped secretly, and I haven't told him yet.

"Send the order to go down and search for Fan Ju with all your might, and find him out no matter what." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

"The last general will lead people to find it." Le Yi clenched his fists and said.

"If King Zhao has no other orders, then the foreign ministers will retreat first." Lu Buwei was a prisoner at this time, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"The widow has a message for sir." Zhao Kuo said to Lu Buwei.

"King Zhao, please speak."

"The Qin State Mansion will fall, with Mr.'s talent, there is no need to give Qin Guo a funeral. If Mr. joins Zhao Kingdom, the past grievances and widows can be regarded as if they never happened, and Mr. will be given a position where he can display his talents." Zhao Kuo said.

He didn't have any grudges against Lü Buwei, mainly because Lü Buwei had some grudges against him.

However, Lü Buwei is a businessman and is the best at weighing the pros and cons, and Zhao Kuo believes that the other party can let go of past grievances.

"The minister will seriously consider it." Lu Buwei politely refused.

He invested too much in Zi Chu, and invested almost all his life in Zi Chu, just so that one day Zi Chu would become the king of Qin and he would be able to soar.

If he arrived in Zhao Kingdom, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and he could only start over.

He believed what Zhao Kuo said, he could expose all the past grievances, and even give himself a good position, but no matter what, it was impossible for him to gain such power and status in Zhao State as in Qin State.

"Someone, send Mr. Buwei out of the battlefield." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said, the twisted melon is not sweet, since Lu Buwei is unwilling, there is no need to force it.

"Thank you, King Zhao." Lü Buwei bowed and followed the soldiers out of the battlefield.

"King, according to the statistics of the casualties, our army has killed a total of 4,421 soldiers, the Han army and the Wei army are less than our army, and the Qi army has the most casualties, more than 15,000 soldiers, and the vast majority of them are caused by the Longxi cavalry." Xunzi and Gongsun Long came over and handed over the statistics to Zhao Kuo.

If you don't count the Qi army, the casualties of the Three Jin Dynasty are not large, and they can even be said to be insignificant compared to such a big victory.

But if the Qi army is added, the data of the coalition army is not very good, the strength of the army is several times that of the Qin army, and the number of casualties on both sides in the end is about the same.

Wang Sun Jia's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, but he couldn't blame anyone, he and Storm Kite, nearly ten times the strength of Wang Qian, were killed by Wang Jian and defeated, even if Zhao Kuo beheaded him in accordance with military law, he had no reason to refute. Look at the book

"Cremate the bodies of the fallen soldiers, and send their bones back to their hometowns, regardless of the country. Qin Jun's corpse was buried on the spot." Zhao Kuo said.

"No." Xunzi clenched his fists and said.

Although cremation does not conform to the concept of this era, everyone knows that at such a long distance, it is summer, and it is impossible for Zhao Jun to send the body back anyway.

To be able to send the ashes back, without letting the soldiers throw their bodies into the wilderness, has done his best.

"The order will go down, and the whole army will rest for three days, and after three days, enter the Wuguan, enter the pass, and attack Xianyang." Zhao Kuo was a little excited, after fighting for so long, Zhao Jun finally entered Guanzhong!

Wang Jian carried Qin Wangji's corpse on his back and fled more than ten miles away in one step, and there was no more Zhao Jun behind him, so he stopped.

"Our Army...... How many people are left?" Wang Qian's voice was hoarse.

"General...... Thirty-two people remaining." One soldier whispered.

"Hehe, before and after, five or six hundred thousand troops have left the customs, and now there are only thirty-two people left, hahahaha...... Poof!" Wang Jian raised his head to the sky and roared, a mouthful of blood arrow spurted out, his body tilted to the side, and he fell to the ground.

"General......" The surrounding soldiers dismounted one after another and ran towards Wang Qian.

By the time Wang Jian woke up, it was already the second day, and he tried his best to open his eyes and be covered in his body

The pain was incomparable, like a dozen files grinding back and forth in the body, the internal qi was exhausted, the meridians were broken, and the bones were broken.

An injury of this magnitude, even if it was placed on a transcendent realm powerhouse, it would be impossible to recover for a while.

"General, you're awake." The voice of a soldier was heard nearby.

Wang Jian was shocked, and when he saw that it was his personal guard, he relaxed his heart a little, let him help him up, and then asked, "Where are we?"

"General, we're in the mall now." The soldier said.

"Is there any news of Zhao Jun?" Wang Jian asked through gritted teeth.

"Zhao Jun didn't chase after him for the time being, and there was no other news. Seven more of our brothers died, and now there are only twenty-five left, and all of them are wounded, so there is no way to go out to find out the news. I hope the general will forgive his sins." The soldier bowed his head and said.

"Seven more dead! Zhao Jun!" Wang Qian's face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists, and his heart was full of anger, but considering Qin Guo and his own situation, he could only swallow all the anger back into his stomach, "How many days does it take for everyone to recover from their injuries?"

"It will take at least half a month." The soldier said.

"We don't have so much time, the mall is just a small city, we can't keep it for a long time, once it is discovered by Zhao Jun, we will definitely die. One day at most, tomorrow night, we will leave the mall and go to Hanzhong, from which we will return to Xianyang." Wang Jian said.

Wuguandao fell into the hands of Zhao, and the Qin army could only go to Hanzhong from Shangyong and then return to Xianyang if they wanted to return to Xianyang.

It would be very simple if Wang Jian was alone, but it was impossible for him to abandon the soldiers who followed him from birth to death.

"My subordinates are going to tell everyone." The soldier said with his fists clenched.

"I don't know how the battle is going on ahead, if it drags on, even if the front line can hold on, the rear can't hold on." Xianyang City, in Taifu's Mansion, Lou slowly held a few documents and sighed deeply.

This year's annual situation is not very good, there is a drought in many areas of Qin, coupled with a large number of young people being conscripted to the front line, resulting in a large area of land has not had time to cultivate, this year's grain output in Qin's country will be reduced by three to fifty percent compared with last year.

If there is no war, the state will collect less taxes, and the people will dig some wild vegetables and boil it over.

But now that the front line is still fighting, not only can the taxes not be reduced, but they must be increased many times, where can the people bear it!

"No matter who wins or loses, I just hope that the war can end as soon as possible and give the people a sigh of relief." Lou Xuan thought in his heart that he didn't care whether the people were dead or alive, but he didn't want to be ruined in the country when he was in the rear, and then become a victim of the Qin monarch to solve the people's grievances.

"Taifu, big ...... Event...... Something is wrong." At this moment, a guard suddenly broke in, did not even salute, and yelled in a panic.

Lou Xuan frowned, he was thinking about what reason to use to play Qin Wangji, and asked Qin Wangji to change someone to sit in the rear, but the guards who broke in interrupted his thinking.

"Is the sky falling?" Lou slowly threw the paperwork towards the desk and said in a deep voice.

"Tai...... Taifu, news is coming from the front, our army ...... Our army was defeated, the king was killed, Wu Anjun was killed, the marquis was killed, and Xia Yangjun was killed......" The guard said tremblingly.

"Where's the news?" Lou Fu's hands trembled slightly, a little incredulous.

"General Wang Jian has just returned with the corpse of the Great King, and he is ...... He is ordering the ministers of the city to be informed." The guard said.

"It's over! The naïve has collapsed." Lou Fu was paralyzed on the ground, staring blankly at the roof, as if his whole body had been drained.

After a while, Lou slowly regained a little bit of energy, and said slowly: "Help the old man up, prepare the car, the old man wants to enter the palace."

The guards hurriedly stepped forward to help the building up.

Waiting for the building to arrive in the palace, the palace has been hung with white flags, the prince and other princes and grandchildren are kneeling in front of the mourning hall, seeing the prince, everyone saluted, as if there is a backbone.

Lou Xuan was the minister appointed by Qin Wangji himself, and everything had to be handled by him before the crown prince ascended the throne.

"My Majesty, on your deathbed...... Did you leave a message?

Lou slowly looked at Wang Qian.

"Mrs. Yu, the king said that the crown prince will be passed on. No matter how much it costs, you must ask for peace with Zhao, and then join Chu to resist Zhao. Zhao Kuo is not dead, don't start a war against Zhao State." Wang Jian said in a low voice.

"Old man understands, do you have any other opinions?" Lou slowly looked at the others. Look at the book

Everyone shook their heads, Qin Wangji's last words, how dare they have any opinions.

Although several princes were a little unhappy when they heard about the succession of the crown prince, they had no choice but to accept the reality.

Prince Zhu has been the prince for more than ten years, and he has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and now that Qin Wangji has died, he also shows that he passed the throne to Prince Zhu, and with the strength of a few of them, he can't set off any storms.

Moreover, the Zhao army was about to fight under the city, and it was impossible for them to fight among themselves at this time.

The bottom line they still have.

"Since others have no opinion, do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. I also ask the crown prince to ascend the throne immediately and preside over the overall situation of the Qin State." Lou slowly walked in front of the crown prince, bowed, and said solemnly.

He didn't want to deal with this headache for a day, and it was even more impossible for him to carry such a big pot of peace with Zhao Guoqiu.

"Please take the throne of the crown prince." Seeing this, the courtiers leaned over and said.

Although it is not in accordance with the etiquette law for the prince to take the throne immediately before he has yet to keep filial piety, but they have no choice, the Zhao army will come to the city in a few days, and at this time the Qin state needs a monarch to stand up, not the prince.

"Okay, pass the order, go down to the throne tomorrow, and all the etiquette expenses will be simplified." Prince Zhu stood up, did not refuse, and responded directly, quite a bit of Mingjun's demeanor.

"No." The ministers leaned over and said.

The next day, in the hall covered with white flags, Prince Zhu ascended the throne as king and became the thirty-fifth monarch of Qin.

"Let's talk about it, how to make peace with Zhao Guo." Qin Wangzhu looked around at the ministers below and asked.

Although the crown prince was not abolished and successfully became the monarch of Qin, Qin Wangzhu was not happy anyway.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han and Qi have already arrived in Lantian and may reach Xianyang at any time, and if the four kingdoms are not allowed to retreat, he is likely to become the shortest reigning monarch in the history of the Qin state.

"Your Majesty, Xiangguo and Shaofu are asking to see you outside the palace." At this moment, a guard walked in, clenched his fists and said.

"Sangkook! Shaofu! Come in, please." Qin Wangzhu's eyes lit up, although he didn't understand how Fan Ju and Lu Buwei escaped from the battlefield, but Qin Wangzhu still invited the two of them in as soon as possible.

Outside the main hall.

Fan Ju and Lu Buwei stared widely, they didn't make an appointment to come together, but happened to meet outside the hall.

"Xiangguo is running really fast on the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, the person is gone." Lu Buwei said coldly, he was a little worried about Fan Ju secretly running away without taking him.

"The old man was also forced to be helpless, and he will definitely make amends to Shaofu in the future." Fan Ju bowed and said embarrassedly, he really didn't do it properly.

As early as after getting the news that Wuguandao was cut off, he was arranging the back road, originally he wanted to take Qin Wangji with him, but Qin Wangji already had the will to die, and he had no choice but to escape alone.

As for Lu Buwei, Fan Ju can only say that he has no friendship.

"The king invites Xiangguo and Shaofu into the palace." The guards came out to report.

"Humph!" Lu Buwei snorted coldly and stepped into the main hall.

Fan Ju sighed and followed.

"Xiangguo and Shaofu came just in time, so sit down quickly. The widow is discussing with the ministers about peace with Zhao Guo, what is your opinion?" Qin Wangzhu said.

"King Yu, today's King Zhao is a person who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, and if my Qin State wants to negotiate peace, I'm afraid I will have to pay a great price." Lu Buwei said in a low voice.

"No matter how big the price is, as long as Zhao Guo can withdraw his troops, it will be worth it." Qin Wangzhu sighed deeply, as soon as he ascended the throne, Zhao Guo was in the city, what could he do except ask for peace?

"I'm afraid that Zhao Guo is unwilling to withdraw his troops

, or the price that Zhao Guo demanded, my Qin State can't afford it." Lu Buwei thought in his heart that he could feel Zhao Kuo's determination to defeat the Qin State, but he didn't say it, and if he didn't let the Qin State try, they didn't want to believe it.

"Dare to ask the king, is my Qin State making peace with Zhao State, or with Zhao, Wei, Han and Qi Kingdoms?" Wang Ji took a step forward, leaned over and said.

"Is there any difference?" Qin Wangzhu asked.

"If you only negotiate peace with Zhao Guo, you will pay a little less, but the three kingdoms of Han Wei and Qi may not necessarily withdraw their troops. If you negotiate peace with the four countries of Zhao, Wei, Han and Qi, the price will be even greater, but the four countries will withdraw their troops." Wang Ji said.

"Of course, it is to negotiate peace with the Zhao State, what qualifications do the three kingdoms of Han Wei and Qi have to negotiate peace with the Qin State? If there is no Zhao State, the Three Kingdoms are added together, and they are not the opponents of our Qin State. Besides, as long as Zhao retreats, what is the reason for the remaining Three Kingdoms Alliance?" Qin Wangzhu said in a deep voice.

"The Great King is wise, in this way, there will inevitably be a gap in the relationship between the Three Kingdoms of Han, Weiqi and the Zhao State." Fan Ju leaned over and said.

"My lord, my minister has something to say." At this time, a minister stepped forward.

"Neishi, please." Qin Wangzhu said.

"The minister received the news that the general Zheng Anping had surrendered to the Zhao army." Neshi said.

When Fan Ju heard this, his face turned pale in an instant, Zheng Anping used to be kind to him, and he became a general only under his recommendation, if Zheng Anping surrendered, he, as the master, would inevitably be implicated.

"The minister does not know the person, and asks the king to punish him." Fan Ju leaned over and said.

"At that time, it was impossible for our army to win, and it was normal for Zheng Anping to surrender, and it was impossible for the widows to ask everyone to fight to the death for the Qin State. Moreover, it was not the Xiangguo who surrendered. What is the sin of Xiangguo?" Qin Wangzhu is colorful.

He has just ascended the throne, the domestic situation is turbulent, and the foreign Zhao army is pressing, and he has to rely on Fan Ju to help him stabilize the situation, not to mention that Fan Ju is not to blame for this matter, even if it is really Fan Ju's fault, he can only be appeased and dealt with later.
