In the blink of an eye, the sun hung in the sky. In front of the camp of the coalition army, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Qin army sat on the ground with a swagger, and they did not look like they had the 250,000 troops of the coalition army in their eyes at all.

And that leader is the new general of the Qin army - Meng Fu. Looking at the war-free card hanging high, Meng Wei trusted Wang Di's judgment even more.

The soldiers under his command immediately challenged and even insulted the coalition army one by one, trying to provoke the anger of the coalition soldiers, so as to fight with themselves.

It's a pity that Xinlingjun and the generals of various countries have already reached a tacit understanding, no matter how the Qin army invites the battle, the camp of the coalition army has never been opened.

And the insults of the Qin army had no effect at all on the grassroots soldiers of Han, Wei, and Chu.

Compared to his own life, a little face is not worth mentioning at all. For the people who can't eat all year round, Qianshou actually doesn't have so much enthusiasm for combat.

And because of the lack of a military merit system like the Qin State, the grassroots soldiers of the Three Kingdoms could not find a reason to fight to the death.

Is it for the meager salaries and death pensions that are difficult to make ends meet? Of course, such a situation does not exist among Zhao Jun.

As early as the time of King Wuling of Zhao, the tone of strengthening the army had been set, and the policy of Zhao had always been greatly inclined to the army.

The Zhao army is so strong that it is even the only existence among the six countries that can fight back and forth with the Qin army. Of course, there is

"Yan Zhao is a generous and sad man", but obviously it is not only that, the simplest example is that the combat power of Yan is not very good.

Naturally, the hundred-year grievances between Qin and Zhao made the people of Zhao deeply hate the Qin army, and it was also one of the reasons for the desperate resistance of the Zhao army.

But this is obviously not the whole reason. There are many examples of this, from the country of Han to the state of Wei, and then to the state of Chu in the south, which has not fought with the Qin state, and even the former capitals of several countries have been occupied by the Qin army, but obviously, when these countries face the Qin state, the fear is greater than the hatred.

Therefore, the treatment of the army, especially the establishment of the upward channel, is the key factor in maintaining the long-term combat effectiveness of the Zhao army.

Wei also used to do this, for example, Wei Wushu, who was Megatron, had a very high status and treatment, which made him have no worries, whether it was training or fighting, he was desperate to the death.

It's a pity that one general is incapable of exhausting thousands of troops. After the loss of a large part of Hexi's territory, Wei could no longer afford such elite soldiers.

But the more there are no elite soldiers, the more they have to be bullied by the Qin State, and the more they are bullied, the more the national strength declines, and so on, and the Wei State, which was once the overlord of the Central Plains, gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

Therefore, the provocation of the Qin army has no meaning at all for the grassroots soldiers of the three countries, and the middle and high-level of the three countries have long formed a unified opinion, even if the generals with different ideas did not dare to raise objections immediately after yesterday's battle.

As for Zhao Guo, that's not to mention. The main force of the Hu army did not understand what the Qin people were saying at all, and the army of Zhao who could understand it was also very clear about the purpose of their visit: they were here to delay time, delay until the main force going north to deal with the situation in Daibei, and delay until the main army was repaired and poured south.

It can be said that the provocation of the Qin army had no effect at all. At least in the current situation.

It's just that whether it is Wang Ji or Meng Fu, this has long been expected. Although he knew that there would be no result, Meng Fu still came to the coalition battalion every day in rotation to shout and provoke, which was a good way to maintain morale.

Just when the battlefield of Zhou Wangji gradually ceased to be in the war, the flames of the battlefield quietly spread to the respective courts.

Handan of Zhao and Xianyang of Qin received military reports from the front line almost at the same time. A silk letter lay quietly on the desks of King Zhao and King Qin, and a war without gunpowder began.

"Pass the order, Fan Sui and Tu Jia will enter the palace immediately to meet you." King Qin gave the order as soon as possible.

"Order: All the cabinet ministers in Handan will enter the palace, and Yu Qing, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, will meet together." Zhao Kuo thought about it for a while, and then issued the king's order: "In addition, pass on the Yu Lin Guard and the secret guard to command the envoys, and stand by outside the palace." Although it is a short edict, it is not difficult to see that the strength between Zhao and Qin has been quietly reversed.

The court of the Qin State, which was originally full of talents, is now withering like this. Inside, the only one who can share his worries with King Qin is Fan Sui, and Tu Jia, the foreign minister, is just obeying orders; Externally, only Wang Di, the mediocre general, can be in charge alone, although the rookie Meng Fu has performed well enough, but he still lacks experience.

On the other hand, in the Zhao State, there are Lü Buwei and Li Mu in the northern Xinjiang; Lian Po and Zhou Qi, the southbound army, are also the inheritance partners of the old and the young.

And after scattering so many people, there are still many talents in the court - Pingyuan Jun, Tian Dan, Yu Qing, and so on, as well as Yulin and Secret Guards to escort them, just from the quantity and quality of talents, today's Zhao State is already much stronger than Qin State.

Even for this war, the methods and ambitions that Zhao could use were obviously much stronger than those of Qin.

And that's only five years later. Of course, this is not to say that two or three people can't discuss a good way, and it doesn't mean that the Qin State is in a slump.

The state of Qin still has the most vast land, the most majestic passes, and a political system that is very suitable for this era.

And all this also shows that the Qin State is still strong enough. A battle of Changping can help the originally weak Zhao State to a high position; Then, a battle of Los Angeles can also make a strong country plant in the dust.

It can be said that the battle has just begun, and everything is possible. Soon, Fan Sui and Tu Jia, who were summoned, hurried to the palace of King Qin.

In the huge palace, the king of Qin sat alone on the main throne, and the chirping of cicadas in summer was the last bright color in the dark Qin palace.

Hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall, and King Qin immediately raised his head.

"Your Majesty, Xiangguo Fan Sui and Doctor Tu Jia arrived on the king's orders." The eunuch Ling's soft words sounded in King Qin's ears.

"Biography." King Qin's angry voice immediately sounded. Soon, through the thick doorpost, two figures appeared in front of King Qin.

"I've seen my king." The two of them stood in front and back, and then they both shook to the bottom.

"No need to be polite." King Qin's voice sounded again: "Come on, look at the seat." ”

"Thank you, my king." Hearing this, the two thanked King Qin again, and then sat down carefully. In order to facilitate the discussion, the eunuch Ling did not arrange the two to another position, but according to the instructions of the King of Qin, two cushions were placed opposite the King of Qin.

So, across a wide table, King Qin sat opposite Fan Sui and Tu Jia. Stretching out his hand, King Qin handed out the silk book on the desk.

Fan Sui hurriedly took the silk book with both hands, and then read it with Tu Jia. After the two of them swept over it briefly and raised their heads, King Qin spoke: "Xiangguo thinks, what does General Wang Ji think?" Fan Sui heard this, but did not answer immediately.

His eyes then glanced at Tu Jia beside him, and he had already guessed what King Qin was thinking. Obviously, the purpose of the king's call to come was not to seek his own opinion on this, but to allow himself to improve and implement Wang Di's suggestion, otherwise, the king did not need to call Tu Jia, who was in charge of diplomacy, to also call.

After having this judgment, Fan Sui quickly understood how to answer.

"My king." Fan Sui bowed slightly, and said: "Weichen thinks that what General Wang Yu said is reasonable, and the strategy of division and disintegration can enable my Great Qin to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost." Hearing this, King Qin also nodded slightly.

However, Fan Sui's words did not stop there.

"Still." Fan Sui looked up at King Qin slightly. King Qin, who heard the turn, was slightly stunned, and even sat up straight, but did not interrupt Fan Sui's explanation.

Although the King of Qin has always been very strong since he took back the royal power, he can bring the Qin State above the Six Kingdoms, and the King of Qin still has two brushes, so he naturally will not easily refuse the advice of his courtiers.

In particular, this proposal is a matter of life and death for the country. Seeing that King Qin didn't mean to interrupt at all, Fan Sui continued: "However, Weichen thinks that there are two issues during the period, which must be considered. ”

"Xiangguo, please speak." King Qin's interest was obviously aroused by Fan Sui.

"One, Zhao Guo." Fan Sui didn't talk nonsense, and immediately threw out Zhao Guo, who had the most headache for King Qin, and said: "Now the main force of Zhao State is still in Northern Xinjiang, but how long can Northern Xinjiang hold Zhao Guo?" A year? Two years? Or January, or two? According to General Wang, the Zhao army will carry out large-scale reinforcements in the autumn of next year, but that is often theorized. And today's King Zhao is not the King of Zhao of the past, with his ability, coupled with his performance in the Battle of Changping, it is not surprising that I was unprepared to attack me. Hearing this, King Qin nodded slightly, and said, "Xiangguo is reasonable. ”

"It's just that if the main force of the Zhao army is directly added to it, this battle will be even more impossible to fight." After thinking about it slightly, King Qin said helplessly.

"Maybe it's a limit of three months." Fan Sui obviously had already thought of a countermeasure before he spoke, and then said: "Before the winter of this year, the possibility of Zhao Jun's intervention is extremely low, and we can focus on each other; If it is winter, our army will have to prepare for the Zhao army that may come to support. Hearing this, King Qin also felt reasonable, but he ......

"March? Is it a little shorter? King Qin then asked, but his eyes looked at Tu Jia on the side.

Not only King Qin, but even Fan Sui, who made the suggestion, also looked at Tu Jia on the side, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious: Three months, can it be done?

Tu Jia knew that his answer would affect the national policy of the entire Qin State, and even shake the foundation of the victory or defeat of the Battle of Los Angeles.

Faced with such a situation, to be honest, it was the first time for Tu Jia, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

It's just that Tu Jia is also the diplomatic spokesperson of Great Qin in the end, and he can speak eloquently in front of the kings of all countries without scruples, of course, this is more of the confidence given by Qin, but Tu Jia himself is obviously not a small role.

Even if he has to face such a huge pressure now, Tu Jia quickly adjusted. There is no point in thinking too much, he knows that he only needs to do what he is good at - if he can, if he can, he can't, as for the rest, it will be left to the king and Xiangguo to measure.

After thinking about it in his heart for a while, Tu Jia quickly had an answer.

"Give my king and Xiangguo." Tu Jia bowed his hand slightly, and then said slowly: "What General Wang said, the country of anti-Han is indeed the best strategy, and it is also the only country that Weichen is slightly sure of. Like Xiangguo Fan Sui, Tu Jia first affirmed General Wang Yi's suggestion.

Of course, King Qin and Fan Sui also understood that this sentence was not important, what mattered was the words that followed.

Seeing that the king did not speak, Tu Jia continued randomly: "If it is only the alliance between Han and Zhao, or the alliance of Han, Chu and Zhao, Weichen should be confident that his alliance will be broken within three months, not to mention that the country of Han will turn against the water, at least let the king of Han order the withdrawal of troops." It's just that now, there is a Wei State mixed in there, and Weichen is really a little embarrassed? ”

"What do you mean by that?" King Qin said with some confusion.

"Shouldn't its alliances become more fragile if it grows stronger? How can it be difficult? Fan Sui was also a little confused, so he immediately followed King Qin's words and asked.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister." Tu Jia immediately bowed his head slightly, and continued: "Since the Battle of Changping, after the Wei army was defeated by our army and suffered heavy losses, although it was still nominally friendly with the Zhao State to prevent our army, but in fact, it was in frequent contacts with the Han Zhiguo. Between Daliang and Xinzheng, the envoys and the secret envoys have been in close contact, especially in the past two years, and the pace of the two countries is almost the same. ”

"Really?" Fan Sui was also a little surprised by Tu Jia's description, and then said with some self-reproach: "I have focused on Zhao State all these years, but I have relaxed my vigilance against the rest of the countries. This is all the fault of the ministers, please forgive my king. ”

"Aiqing's internal commanders and ministers, and the princes of the outer palace, have done their best, how can they be guilty." King Qin waved his hand to help Fan Sui up, and then asked Tu Jia: "Even if Han Wei moves around frequently, it doesn't mean that the two countries have communicated with each other and huddled together for warmth." ”

"I'm Wang Rongyu." Tu Jia then continued: "This matter can also be seen from the current affairs of the coalition army. ”

"Oh?" King Qin hurriedly said, "Hurry up." ”

"Yes." Tu Jia then analyzed: "The State of Chu is an ally of the State of Zhao, and it is not a problem to join the alliance, but the country of Han is small and the people are weak, why did it join the coalition army?" Fear of our army may be one thing, but to persuade Han Zhiguo, I am afraid that Wei is also indispensable. Even, because of Han Wei's grouping, in order to get the support of Han and Wei, there was a scene with Xinlingjun as the commander. Otherwise, no matter in terms of combat strength, national strength or even qualifications, General Zhao Guolianpo should be the commander. ”

"What Tu Qing said is reasonable." King Qin nodded, agreeing with Tu Jia's analysis of Han Wei's group, and then asked: "In this way, even if Han Zhiguo wants to withdraw, he will inevitably communicate with Wei Guo, so I am afraid it will be difficult to rebel." ”

"It's not that hard!"
