53. Divine Argument Cai Ze
Fan Ju was saddened by his helpless choice, recalling every bit of his relationship with the Zheng family, his heart was like a knife, and the attendant walked in cautiously.
"Didn't I tell you not to bother me!" Fan Ju looked at the attendant angrily, and his eyes were about to erupt with fire.
"The king is here." The squire lowered his head and whispered.
"Quick, wait for me to bathe and change my clothes. Hurry up and light the incense and bring the honey syrup. ”
"No need, the widow came to see his middle father, so there was no need to engage in such a big battle." King Qin walked in on his own and waved his attendant down. came in with him, as well as Cai Ze, Fan Ju's successor.
"Come, sit across from the widow." King Qin's face was gentle, and he didn't show the slightest sign of anger.
This made Fan Ju even more ashamed, lowered his head, and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
"Zheng Anping's matter is not your fault. The widow knows that you sent Zheng Anping to the front line so that those in charge of logistics can work hard to ensure the supply of our army. ”
"Your Majesty..."Fan Ju raised his head, his face moved.
King Qin smiled, and then said: "After all, Bai Qi was recommended by the Marquis, and he has great achievements. In order to suppress him and prevent him from rebelling after repeated victories, no one can control him, so you oppose him everywhere, and the widow understands.
Those civil officials think that you are at odds with Bai Qi. Qin's law is strict, and although there are no gaps in the logistics they usually talk about, there are also some small actions.
For example, if 10,000 chickens and sheep are to be sent to the front, they will take some chickens and lambs that have not grown up to make up the number. They ask for 100,000 stone corn, and they sometimes mix in some old rice that is about to expire. As for the fruits and vegetables, they must not be rotten when they are shipped out anyway, but the road is far away, and it is no wonder that they are rotten and stinky when they get to the front line.
There is also the grain transported by the Wei State, which must be counted before it can be sent to the front line after arriving in our country. The speed of counting is also in their hands.
The widow knows your heart. You sent your life-saving benefactor Zheng Anping to the front line to tell these people not to make small moves. This time is a national war, everyone must work hard, and don't affect the overall situation because of the grievances between you and Bai Qi. And it did work. This time, the logistics supply was very well done.
Zheng Anping's matter, you can't be blamed. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fan Ju was so excited that tears were about to flow.
"It doesn't matter. On the contrary, the widow thought that this time the Zhao army was defeated without defeat. And our army is invincible. ”
"Where did the king start with this?"
"Do you think that after our army withdraws from the store, King Zhao will agree to negotiate peace?"
"Categorically not, Zhao Jun has just won in Changping and won Changping Pass, which is the time when morale is strong. Zhao Kuozhen is the reincarnation of Sun Wu, and Sun Bin is reborn. Fan Ju said, looking melancholy.
"Everyone knows that King Zhao will definitely let Zhao Jun fight, why do I have to let Bai Qi withdraw?" King Qin asked.
Fan Ju was puzzled and asked rhetorically, "Why?" ”
"One, the arrogant army will be defeated. Second, they all thought that Bai Qi died during the retreat, and they would definitely want to take advantage. Previously, our army was on the offensive, and the Zhao army was on the defensive, relying on the advantages of fortifications and terrain, offsetting the advantage of our army's high quality of individual soldiers.
Now the offense and defense are reversed. Although our army has only 400,000 men left, there is no superiority in strength. But in Light Wolf City, it has long been impregnable, and the ambush has been subordinated.
As long as Zhao Jun dares to come, our army will still win. ”
Fan Ju said worriedly: "However, the coach on the other side is Zhao Kuo, won't such a general see through our ambush?" ”
Hearing this, King Qin's confident expression just now disappeared in an instant, and his face collapsed.
Seeing this, Cai Ze said: "Please forgive me for being blunt, my king and Enxiang are a bit confused. ”
"Where to start." King Qin asked curiously.
Cai Ze arched his hand and said loudly: "The advantages of my country's system are there, the king is shengming, and the top and bottom are united. Corporal Wang Shanglixian, who dared to use talents from other countries. Enxiang is from Wei, and I am from Yan, which is difficult for other monarchs to do.
We can lose once, twice, three times. But other countries, if they lose once, face the risk of extinction.
Second, the obstacle to our king's domination of the world lies in the union of other nations. The original purpose of our army in this battle was to quickly defeat Zhao, annihilate the living forces of Zhao's army, weaken Zhao's national strength, and prepare for the war of unification. The general trend is ours, and it is a matter of time before I, Daqin, dominate the world.
If the battle develops as expected, our army will face the attack of the Wei and Chu coalition forces after defeating the Zhao State, and the Qi State and the Yan State may both attack us together, so our previous strategy was to lure the Zhao army to attack, and strive to quickly defeat and annihilate them.
And now, the Zhao army has the advantage, so how can Wei, Chu and other countries help Zhao again.
Compared to us, they are even more reluctant to see a powerful Zhao State. King Zhao Wuling's shocking world seemed to happen yesterday.
In the next battle, if our army wins and annihilates the Zhao army, it will still complete the strategic purpose. In the next step, our army can even consider abandoning Changping and handing over this place to the Zhao army and the Wei army to fight for. We accumulate strength, and the next attack will be when our Great Qin will dominate the world.
But other countries definitely want us and Zhao to lose. If our army is defeated, then other countries will definitely flock to attack Zhao. Then we can continue to accumulate strength, and when they are done fighting each other, our army will reap the benefits.
These plans are all based on your years of hard work, so that Daqin has the strongest national strength in this land. We have a myriad of options. ”
After speaking, Cai Ze bowed deeply towards King Qin.
Subsequently. Cai Ze said another piece of news that shocked King Qin.
Zhao Jun changed his commander again.
No matter who the new coach is, in order to prove that he is stronger than Zhao Kuo, he will definitely attack aggressively.
The ambush in Light Wolf City will definitely not be in vain.
King Qin's heart was much more settled.
It's just that he understands that because of Zhao Kuo's existence, he should not be able to dominate the world in his lifetime.
Such a great cause can only be completed by one's own descendants.
Thinking of this, Qin Wang Yingji sighed, he was already sixty-five years old, and he was very old in this era.
His previous desperate desire for victory stemmed entirely from his ambition to dominate the world in his lifetime.
It's a pity that since ancient times, Ming Jun has been like a beauty, and he is not allowed to see white heads in the world.
In his early years, he was a hostage in Yan Kingdom, and he suffered a lot, thinking that he would not be able to get a big position in this life.
Later, King Zhao Wuling threatened by force, and he unexpectedly became the king of Qin.
King Zhao Wuling would never have dreamed that his original intention was to support a Qin king who was friendly to Zhao State, but he didn't expect to bring an ancient monarch to Qin State.
No one can do it better than Yingji.
During his reign, he survived the Empress Dowager Xuan's listening to the government, solved the problem of the four nobles at that time, Wei Ran, Huayang Jun Mi Rong, Jingyang Jun Gongzi Fu, and Gaoling Jun Gongzi Kui, worshiped Fan Ju as the prime minister, stabilized Bashu, eliminated Yiqu, and laid the foundation for the victory of the Qin Unification War.
During this period, the Qin army, under the leadership of Bai Qi, Meng Fu, Qi Gong and others, successively defeated the Three Jin, Qi and Chu States, and captured Hedong County and Nanyang County of Wei State, and Qianzhong County and Yingdu of Chu State.
It's very close to reunification. It's a pity that the years are not forgiving.
King Qin knew in his heart that it was time to think about the successor.
Seven years ago, the crown prince Yingmourning died in the Wei state, which hit him hard.
But the kingdom must not be without a prince.
He made Yingzhu the crown prince five years ago, but Yingzhu is not young.
I don't know which of the descendants of the winning pillar can take over this burden?
