Chapter 300: Xiang Guo, Zhong Father and Yang Ming
The 100,000 army was wiped out, the whole 100,000 army, the 100,000 elite.
100,000 families lost their pillars in this battle, and he Qin Wangzheng lost 100,000 soldiers who could fight well, even with the national strength of Qin, in the face of the loss of 100,000 elites, he still had to break his muscles and bones.
Looking at the cold words in the military newspaper, Qin Wangzheng's mind couldn't help but think of Yang Ming's advice to him.
"Is the widow really wrong?" Qin Wangzheng groaned, for the first time in his life, doubts about himself appeared in his heart.
"Huan is a widow." Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but clench his fists when he thought about it.
But no matter how angry Qin Wangzheng is, he must suppress his anger at the moment, because the defeat of the Qin army's Zhao State will inevitably cause a series of chain reactions.
Thinking of this, Qin Wangzheng didn't care about anything else at all, but hurriedly sent his chamberlains to the mansions of Xiangguo Mansion and Changping Jun's Mansion, which were important ministers of Qin.
In the past, although the Qin State has repelled the coalition forces of various countries again and again, the process is not easy, which time is not a big gamble? Which time was not dancing on the tip of the knife? If it was possible, how could the Qin state be willing to face such a situation again?
Lu Buwei, who came to Xianyang Palace in a hurry, just got off the carriage and saw Changping Jun, who was also in a hurry, and Gong Qi, who had already unloaded his armor and returned to the field.
The three of Lu Buwei glanced at each other, and they all saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.
Then he didn't bother to say hello and hurried forward.
When the three of them came to the middle hall of Xianyang Palace, they found that Qin Wangzheng was the only one in the huge hall, even if Lang General Li Xin and Zhongche Mansion Ling Zhao Gao had never been with Qin Wangzheng.
Before Lü Buwei and the three of them sat down after saluting Qin Wangzheng, Qin Wangzheng's voice sounded in the main hall: "General Huan Qi was defeated by Li Mu, the general of Zhao State, and 100,000 troops were lost. ”
What? The figure of Lu Buwei and the three of them who were about to sit down instantly stiffened in the distance.
"King, is it the destruction of the army, not the defeat?" The white beard trembled and asked.
The gap between defeat and total annihilation is still huge.
"It's annihilation." The tassel of the crown covered Qin Wangzheng's face, and no one knew what kind of mood he was in now, but in the hearts of Lu Buwei and Xiong Qi, they all felt a heavy pressure.
That's a hundred thousand troops, even if the five kingdoms attacked Qin a few years ago, the Qin State repelled the coalition army without losing 100,000 troops, and now, ......
"King, the current situation is changeable, and the Qin State should make plans as soon as possible." Lu Buwei said.
"What does Sangkook have to say?" Qin Wangzheng asked.
"Zhao Guo first lost 100,000 soldiers, and now although he has defeated the general, he is also broken, and he does not have enough strength to counterattack our Qin State, and the Chu State and Wei State are really a threat to our Qin State." Lü Buwei quickly analyzed the situation.
The Qin State lost 100,000 troops, although it was a broken muscle, but in terms of the overall strength of the Qin State, it was still the best in the world, and the Zhao State had more than enough self-preservation, and wanted to counterattack, but it was not enough, and the real threat to the Qin State was the Chu State and the Wei State.
Especially over the years, the Qin State has been expanding eastward along both sides of the Great River, and now from Hedong County in the west, through Shangdang, Hanoi, and Dongjun, in addition to more than a dozen cities in Yecheng and Anyang, which are still in the hands of Zhao State, the Qin army has occupied both sides of the Great River, and the strategy of blocking the country of the Three Jin Dynasty has almost been realized.
But when the trend is homeopathic, the line of Hanoi and Dong County is the sword that blocks the country of the Three Jins, and when it is against the trend, from Hanoi to Dong County, it is an excessively long and narrow front drawn by the Qin State, which is very easy to be cut off, and the sword stretched out by the Qin State along the big river is also very fragile while being sharp.
Now that the Qin army is newly defeated, if Wei and Chu find the right opportunity to join it again, once the three kingdoms of Chu, Zhao and Wei join together, Korea will inevitably join, and at that time, it will inevitably be another battle of the nations to attack Qin.
And Lü Buwei, a veteran minister who has been through storms for a long time, saw the crisis at the first time.
"Is there a good plan for Xiangguo?" Qin Wangzheng asked, he can also see what Lü Buwei saw, but if he wants to resolve the current unfavorable situation, he still needs to listen to the opinions of Lü Buwei and others.
"If you want to solve the current crisis, it is not too difficult, although Wang Qian, Yang Duan and the department did not win a big victory, but they also did not lose a big defeat, the two still have sixty or seventy thousand troops in their hands, let the two withdraw the army and retreat into Shangdang County, Yang Duan and Shou Shangdang, Wang Jian stationed in Taiyuan County, in case the people of Zhao State revolted." Lü Buwei methodically explained the strategy to Qin Wangzheng.
"Xiangguo, now that the Captain of the Protector Army and the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army are in Hedong County, why not let the Captain of the Protector Army lead the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army into Taiyuan County, isn't it more convenient than letting Wang Jian enter Taiyuan County?" Xiong Qi opened his mouth and questioned.
"There are more important things for the Captain of the Protector Army and the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army." Lü Buwei glanced at Xiong Qi, and then explained to Qin Wangzheng.
"Where does the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army need to be transferred?" Qin Wangzheng asked.
"East County." Lu Buwei said.
"East County?" Qin Wangzheng was slightly surprised.
"The king, it is Dongjun, the Dragon and Tiger Forbidden Army is stationed in Dongjun, with the prestige of the commander of the army, to the east can deter the hometown of Chu, and to the south can be troops Linjishui, and put pressure on the Liang of Wei, which is enough to make Chu and Wei dare not act rashly." Lu Buwei said.
Listening to Lü Buwei's words one after another Chu State, superior deterrence, and not daring to act rashly, Xiong Qi was somewhat uncomfortable, but he also knew that what Lü Buwei said was indeed the best choice.
Also uncomfortable is Qin Wangzheng, but his unease is because of Yang Ming, thinking of Yang Ming's advice to himself, if it weren't for his insistence, he firmly believed that the Qin army would achieve a greater victory, but just see it, Qin State would not have experienced such a fiasco, nor would there be such a crisis, how could Qin Wangzheng not have a little feeling.
"Gong Qi, what do you think of Xiangguo's words?" Suppressing the awkwardness in his heart, Qin Wangzheng asked Duke Qi.
"Xiangguo has become a country, and the strategy is feasible." Koji, who has already entered his retirement life, said openly.
"Then according to Xiangguo's words." King Qin's political road.
As the response strategy was set, Qin Wangzheng began to draft an edict, and Lü Buwei and others were also ready to leave.
For more than a year, Qin Wangzheng, who was becoming more and more indifferent to Lü Buwei, changed his normal state and directly sent Lü Buwei to the palace gate.
"Father Zhong is well-informed and resourceful, which is exactly what the Qin State needs, and I also ask Father Zhong to help the widow more in the future." Qin Wangzheng said sincerely to Lu Buwei, just like a young man in the past.
"For the sake of the king, for the sake of the Qin State, the old minister should do his best." Hearing the former title from Qin Wangzheng's mouth again, Lu Buwei's heart moved, and he seemed to have regained his former feelings.
Looking at Lu Buwei's distant frame, the smile in Qin Wangzheng's eyes suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a burst of coldness.
When Qin Wangzheng returned to the main hall, Zhao Gao, who was the commander of the CRRC Prefecture, had already prepared the edict, and only waited for Qin Wangzheng to stamp the seal, and it could be sent to Hedong County and the Qin army still on the southern line of Zhao State.
"Wait, it's better for the widow to write a private message to the guard." Qin Wangzheng suddenly pressed the edict that was about to be sent to Hedong County.
"King, the captain of the protector army has long felt that the general will be defeated by the Zhao army, and he once said to the king, now that the general is really defeated by the Zhao army, will this captain of the protector army be very proud at this time?" Zhao Gao carefully observed Qin Wangzheng and said words that were enough to kill his heart.
Sure enough, as Zhao Gao's words echoed in Qin Wangzheng's ears, Qin Wangzheng's gaze couldn't help but stare at it, he didn't think of this possibility.
If Qin Wangzheng is a mediocre person and the Qin army is defeated, he will inevitably be angry with Yang Ming, thinking that Yang Ming will see his jokes, in another similar time and space hundreds of years later, similar things have really happened, but Qin Wangzheng is Qin Wangzheng after all, but he will not affect national affairs because of his mood.
Therefore, when he heard Zhao Gao's words that he was suspected of sowing discord, Qin Wangzheng's mind was only stunned in an instant, and then he said: "Bold, criticize the important ministers of the court, do you know what crime this is?" ”
"The king, it is the slave who does not choose what to say, and asks the king to surrender." When Zhao Gao heard this, he hurriedly admitted his mistake in fright.
"If you are a first-time offender, forget about it, if you let the widow hear similar words in the future, the widow will definitely cut off your head, so that you will not make noise in front of the widow." Qin Wangzheng reprimanded.
Then, in the hands of Qin Wangzheng, a letter written on a silk book was quickly formed, and with the letter enveloped into a scroll, it was sent out of Xianyang Palace along with the edict sent to Hedong County, heading in the northwest direction.
On the other side, Lu Buwei returned to the mansion and came directly to the study, a faint smile appeared on his increasingly old face.
Qin Wangzheng's middle father, at this time still echoed in his ears, Lu Buwei, who was in a good mood, completely relieved his heart, the original choice was still correct after all, he had faced countless choices in his life, and every time he made the right choice, the current choice is also the same.
At the beginning, Qin Wangzheng tried his best to promote the attack on Zhao, but he didn't say a word, just predicting that there might be today's events, and Qin might be unlucky, but it was another thing for him Lu Buwei.
"After all, the king is still too young, and without an old minister like me to help him watch, he can easily make the mistakes that young people will make." Lu Buwei muttered to himself, with a lot of smugness in his expression.
