I then relayed what Zhao Gao had said to me almost word for word.

There was silence in the hall, and Ying Zheng nodded again and again when he heard it.

That Li Si seemed to be a little unbearable, because he was against Zhao this time.

"King, what the national teacher said is indeed reasonable, but I remember that the last time the national teacher said that the mourning soldiers will win, and now the whole country of Zhao is in drought, and it has caught up with the spring famine, so the whole country is mourning soldiers! In addition, Li Mu and Sima Shang have won the trust of King Zhao, so I think it is better to wait and see."

Ying Zheng didn't speak for a while.

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and the ministers and generals supported and opposed, and the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable.

It is not difficult for a great commander to listen to different opinions, but what is difficult is that he must see through the essence of the matter at a glance and eliminate interference, find the most correct one from the many complicated opinions and suggestions, and have the courage to make a final decision. Instead of changing the order and being indecisive.

I didn't speak, there are some things that others can't help you even if they want to, everyone has their own role, and now it's time to test Yingzheng, because his role is the king of Qin, and the final decision has to be made by him, and the consequences caused by it must also be borne by him.

"Since the national teacher is strongly advocating the crusade against Zhao State, he is willing to lead the troops there" Ying Zheng still did not make a decision immediately.

I said, "My Majesty! Since I advocate cutting Zhao! I don't dare to go, but the king will promise me two conditions."

"National teacher, please speak, as long as you can destroy Zhao Guo! Don't talk about two conditions, twenty conditions, the lonely king will also promise you."

"Haha! Not so much! Two is enough! First, I go, but I am not the commander, I can be a military advisor. To lead the troops to fight, you have to borrow General Wang Qian, and the second king immediately sent someone to persuade Qi Guo and asked him not to aid Zhao "I know that this second condition must be put forward by Meng Tian's thinking in his mind. It seems that this Meng Tian actually thought of something that Zhao Gao didn't take into account!

Seeing that the King of Qin and Li Si didn't quite understand, I continued: "General Wang is the general of my Qin State, and he has made many military exploits, and he is the only one who can fight against Li Mu, General Wang has been defeated by Li Mu before, if he can get General Wang to go this time, he will definitely fight to the death, and win dignity for Qin and himself" I took the opportunity to slam Wang Jian fiercely, if you want to fight Zhao together, you must have a good relationship with him.

After all, Wang Jian is a martial artist, hearing me say this, his blood immediately boiled, and he said to Yingzheng: "The minister is willing to follow the national division to defeat Zhao, if he can't win, he will kill himself in front of the battle." ”

Ying Zheng ignored him and continued to ask me: "The national teacher only asked me to send someone to stabilize the Qi State and ask him not to aid Zhao, aren't you afraid that other vassal states will help Zhao State?" ”

I laughed: "The king" Among the four kingdoms, Wei is too busy to take care of himself, Yan and Zhao have enmity, and Yan Wang will definitely not aid Zhao, Chu is far away from Zhao, and he can't help if he wants to, so as long as Qi doesn't aid Zhao, it can be a big deal! ”

Ying Zheng shook his hand fiercely when he heard this: "Lone immediately sent Wang Jian as the general of Zhao, and the national teacher temporarily succumbed to the position of military division, and defeated 200,000 soldiers to crusade against Zhao."

"The king should think again!" Li Si's face was extremely ugly.

"Don't think about it! Determination has been made," Ying Zheng waved his hand and walked into the apse.

After I returned home, I immediately asked Yi Fa Zhe to select ten clansmen who had been implanted with throwing knife chips in their brains as my guards, and Kersma and Yi Fa Zhe were supposed to go with me, but I was worried about the safety of Mandy and the clan's camp, so I let them stay. Before leaving, I specially told Mandy not to get too close to Zhao Gao, this girl was full of promises, and I could only be suspicious.

Ten days later, everything was ready, and Wang Jian and I led 150,000 troops from Taiyuan to attack the north of Handan, the capital of Zhao State. Another Qin general, Yang Duanhe, led 50,000 troops from Hanoi, from Yeyi and through Anyang, to attack the south of Handan. When Zhao Wangqian heard the news, he sent Li Mu and Sima Shang to lead an army to resist.

Li Mu was indeed not a false name, he once again accurately judged the direction of our troops, moved his main force to Jingcheng Pass, in order to block me and Wang Qian, and at the same time sent his lieutenant Sima Shang to lead another army to the south of Handan to resist Yang Duanhe. Due to several battles with the Qin State, although Li Mu won, he was also greatly injured, coupled with the lack of military rations, so he still adopted the policy of building fortifications and avoiding hasty decisive battles. Wang Jian and I led the main force to easily capture Fanwu, the front is Jingcheng Pass, as long as you can pass through Jingcheng, you will be a horse in Pingchuan in the future, Zhao Jun has no danger to defend, and it is easy to capture Handan. However, after our army arrived at Jingcheng Pass, it failed to overcome repeated attacks, but suffered many casualties. As a result, the two armies formed a stalemate situation at this Jingcheng Pass. Everything was really as Zhao Gao expected!

At the same time, the Qin army's southern route also encountered the same difficulties, Sima Shang chose a favorable terrain for defense, and Yang Duanhe could not make any progress in seeking battle.

A few months have passed, and Handan is not far from here, but our armies on the north and south roads are blocked by Li Mu and Sima Shang, and it is difficult to move an inch.

On this day, my Wang Jian and several of his generals were discussing the military situation in the big tent, and everyone felt that such a stalemate was not the way, after all, we were an expedition of the labor army, and the Zhao army was waiting for work, if they survived the food shortage, it would be more difficult for us to capture Jingcheng Pass at that time!

I decided to follow what Zhao Gao said, send someone to infiltrate Handan, bribe Guo Kai, the prime minister of Zhao, and let King Zhao remove Li Mu as soon as possible.

But who will be sent? Bribing Guo Kai is easy to say, but it is not easy to successfully complete this task! The person sent must be absolutely reliable, strong enough to protect himself, and able to adapt to all kinds of accidents!

When I was anxious, a soldier came to report, saying that more than a dozen big fat pigs had run out of Jingcheng Pass, and they had been caught by the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know how to deal with them, so they came to tell them.

I and the generals were confused, I didn't know which one Li Mu was singing!

"Could it be that these pigs have been poisoned, and Li Mu wants to poison us?" A partial general said.

"Probably not! A dozen pigs, at most, will poison more than 1,000 of us, don't we test the poison? And these pigs don't look like they're poisonous in their bodies," Wang Jian said thoughtfully.

"Inform the general that the brothers have killed a pig and fed a wild cat with pork, and the wild cat has not been poisoned," said the sergeant.

"Carry the slain pig into the tent," I commanded the soldier.

It didn't take long for several soldiers to bring in a big fat pig.

"Disemboweled," I said.

Everyone didn't understand what they meant, only Wang Jian frowned, as if he was deeply worried.

Several soldiers quickly cut open the pig's belly, only to see that it was full of undigested food, and it was all rice millet.

"It seems that there is no shortage of food in this well!" Wang Jian said with a long sigh. The generals in the account also understood it at this time, and they exchanged their heads and ears.

Chapter 166: Destroy Zhao

This is exactly what I am worried about, our army does not occupy land and people, our only advantage is that the Zhao army is short of food and our grain and grass are still sufficient for the time being, but from the food in this pig's stomach, it eats no worse than our Qin soldiers!

"Carry it down, let the brethren share the food," I waved my hand in dismay.

The soldiers happily carried the pig out!

At this moment, a clan guard standing behind me laughed.
