Chapter 409, surrender before a fight

Li Mu left Handan under the cover of the net and went to Yanmen Pass.

At the same time, the state of Qin declared war on the state of Zhao, the reason was that the state of Zhao helped the three families of Ju Guo opera to rebel, and Wang Qian of Zhao sent attendants to the state of Qin overnight, wanting to use Li Mu to die, wanting to quell the war, but the waiters of the state of Zhao could not see Yingzheng at all when they arrived in Xianyang, so they naturally could not find peace talks.

In the palace of King Zhao, Zhao Wangqian smashed the objects on the side like crazy, and the attendants around him were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and trembled, for fear that Zhao Wangqian would use himself to get angry.

"King, Guo Xiang has arrived!" An attendant said in a trembling voice outside the hall.

"Let Guo Xiang come in." Zhao Wangqian threw away the sword in his hand and hurriedly said.

"No!"

Guo Kai lowered his head and walked towards the hall, and after saluting Zhao Wangqian, Zhao Wangqian excitedly took Guo Kai's hand and asked

"Guo Xiang, now that the Qin State is attacking my Zhao State, do you have any way to negotiate peace with the Qin State?"

Zhao Wangqian's words stopped Guo Kai, how could he have a way, the envoys they sent for peace talks couldn't enter Yingzheng at all, and even the people who could talk to them in the court of Qin didn't pay attention to them at all, Qin had already shown his determination to kill Zhao Guo, what else could he do? He is not Zhang Yi and Su Qin alive!

But Zhao Wangqian's words Guo Kai couldn't help but answer, so he pretended to be confused

"Didn't the king send an envoy to Qin and explain to Qin that Li Mu and Gongzi Jia had been executed?"

"The widow sent someone, but the Qin State didn't see it at all." Zhao Wangqian said impatiently.

"Maybe the minister can send someone to bribe Lu Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, or maybe he can let the envoy meet the king of Qin." Guo Kai said.

"When's that going to be? At that time, the Qin army will definitely have already attacked, and when the time comes, I don't know how much of the territory of the peace talks will be divided. "Zhao Wangqian rejected this proposal, why did he want to negotiate peace, wasn't he worried that Qin would capture Zhao's territory? If, after the peace talks, the Qin State still captured the territory of the Zhao State, what is the use of this peace talks?

"This, the minister is powerless, the top priority is to send a general to the border pass to defend against the enemy, as long as we resist the attack of the Qin State, we will definitely be able to force the Qin State to negotiate peace, and even let the Qin State find us to negotiate peace." Guo Kai continued.

"Li Mu is dead, Zhao Kai is on his way to Yanmen Pass, what other generals can be used in the court?" Zhao Wangqian asked urgently.

There are no other generals that can be used in the entire Zhao State now except Zhao Kai, and there are also some people who can lead troops to fight, but let them resist the Qin State, Zhao Wangqian still has self-knowledge, let them resist the Qin State, that can only accelerate the demise of the Zhao State.

"Don't panic, the king, we can gather the courtiers and consult with the ministers. Or you can send one person to the border pass to guard first, as long as you can't hold on, drag the Qin army, and wait until Zhao Kai comes back with the army of Yanmen Pass, and the elite of the two border armies converge, there will be more than 200,000 troops, and it is not impossible to fight with the Qin army at that time. Guo Kai thought for a while and said

"As long as we block the Qin army's attack, there will be the possibility of peace talks at that time."

"Now it can only be like this, the widow will go to convene a court meeting, Guo Xiang doesn't need to participate, just send someone to contact Lu Buwei." Zhao Wangqian thought for a while and said.

"No!"

After Zhao Wangqian sent someone to ring the bell of Zhao Wang's palace, the ministers who worked in the mansion went to the palace one after another to discuss matters, but Guo Kai, who was sent by Zhao Wangqian to contact LΓΌ Buwei, appeared in the palace of the prostitute at this moment.

The prostitute was sitting on the seat in a red robe, and Guo Kai was standing below and talking about the situation outside.

"Okay, the mourning family that Guo Xiang said knows it, and the mourning family wants to ask one thing, can the current Zhao State block the attack of the Qin State?" The prostitute asked.

Guo Kai glanced at the prostitute with worried eyes in his eyes, thought for a while, and said

"My Zhao State has more than 200,000 elite border troops, and there is enough food and grass, as long as I stick to the border pass, it is enough to block the Qin State, not to mention that my Zhao State is united, and I can recruit young and strong people into the army at any time, and I can recruit hundreds of thousands of troops with a wave of my hand, which is enough to defeat the Qin State."

After listening to Guo Kai's words, the prostitute couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart, she was naturally able to distinguish between truth and falsehood in this kind of high-sounding words. At the same time, the prostitute had some regret in her heart, regretting that she had not made up her mind to keep Li Mu, if Li Mu was there, the prostitution queen still felt that Zhao Guo had some chance of winning, but now the prostitution queen did not have the slightest confidence in her heart.

"Guo Xiang, I want to listen to the truth, it's not these lies, there are no outsiders here, just say it. Didn't Guo Xiang forget that we are only in one camp? ”

Hearing the words of the prostitute queen, Guo Kai was happy, if it was the former prostitution queen and his naturally close allies, but because of the matter between Gongzijia and Li Mu before, the relationship between Zhao Wangqian and the prostitute queen was no longer what it used to be, especially when the prostitute tried to protect Li Mu, Guo Kai was also dissatisfied, but now that Li Mu is dead, they may not be able to return to the trust they had before, but they will not become enemies, Guo Kai said

"The Queen Mother already knows in her heart that Zhao Guo has little hope."

"Is that really the case?" The prostitute sighed helplessly, now is not the time to dwell on the problem, the prostitute waved her hand, and the chamberlain and the palace maid bowed and withdrew from the main hall.

The prostitute glanced at Guo Kai and said in a low voice

"The mourning family knows that the relationship between Guo Xiang and Qin State is extraordinary, and the mourning family only asks one sentence, if Zhao State can't stop it, does Guo Xiang have a way to make Qin State accept surrender?"

After hearing Guo Kai's words, the prostitute no longer had hope in his heart, the power was destined to be impossible to keep, but the prostitute wanted to keep her glory and wealth, as long as they surrendered, it would be impossible for the Qin State to kill them at that time.

Hearing the words of the prostitute, Guo Kai was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know if this was a temptation or something after the prostitution, so he immediately gave up his hand and said

"Queen Mother, I, the monarch and ministers of Zhao State, will definitely defeat the Qin State, why did the Queen Mother surrender without fighting? If there is a day, the minister will die and die for the country. ”

"Guo Xiang, there are only two of us here, no need to pretend anymore." The prostitute frowned and said.

Seeing the prostitute testing himself from time to time, Guo Kai said in a low voice

"Queen Mother, the main war faction in the DPRK accounts for the majority, if we surrender, they will not agree, and they will even make trouble behind their backs."

"Then just keep them from knowing." The prostitute whispered.

"The minister can only do his best, but the king's attitude is unclear, and he hopes that the queen mother will persuade him." Guo Kai said.

"The mourning family knows." The prostitute nodded and said, Zhao Wangqian is her son, as the so-called Zhizi Mo Ruomu, if it is the day when the Qin army is in the city, she does not need to persuade Zhao Wangqian, Zhao Wangqian will take the initiative to raise this matter.

"So the minister withdrew."

"Go ahead."

The first reaction of the Zhao court was to start a war, and the ministers of Zhao still had the upper hand, after all, the hatred between Qin and Zhao made them unable to choose to surrender directly, and the original glory of Zhao made them think that Zhao was still able to fight with Qin.

Zhao Wangqian was also encouraged to think that Zhao was not unable to fight with Qin, so he issued an edict and began to declare war on Qin.

In the inn, Ziyou was not surprised to learn that Zhao Guo had declared war on Qin State, if Zhao Guo surrendered directly now, Ziyou would think there was no problem?

"This time the coach is Wang Jian and Meng Tian is the deputy general. Who else can stop the Qin State? Concubine Yan shook her head and said.

"Zhao Guo, just leave the rest here to Wang Jian and them, and let's go to Daijun." Ziyou said.

"Daigun?" The Snow Girl looked back at Ziyou.

"Those two Protoss descendants confessed?" Flame Spirit Ji asked curiously.

"That's right, their goal is indeed the martial arts of Zhao State, but it's a pity that after King Zhao Wuling separated the martial arts and let Gongzi Zhang take it away, Gongzi Zhang united the Mo family, Taoism and famous families among the hundred schools in Daijun according to what King Zhao Wuling said to build an underground palace, in order to prevent the descendants of the Protoss from secretly smearing, a formation was specially laid out in the underground palace, so that the descendants of the Protoss could not enter. They captured Gai Nie in order to let them enter the underground palace and help them get the martial arts. Ziyou said.

"Did they get it for them?" Concubine Yan asked.

"Listen to them, the descendants of the Protoss are still looking for the entrance to the dungeon, and they don't have the specific entrance location of the dungeon, so they are not in danger for the time being." Ziyou said. In addition to them, only the dead Gongzi Jia knew where the entrance to the underground palace was.

"In that case, let's go, if we can catch Gai Nie and the Black Ice Terrace Law Enforcement Team, I want to see who the other party is." Concubine Yan's eyes flashed with excitement and said, it was not that Concubine Yan was belligerent, but that the other party's methods made her very curious.

"Okay."

After Ziyou and the others packed up the net, Ziyou and the others quietly left Handan and went to Daijun.

On the border of Qin and Zhao, the first army led by Wang Jian set off from Zhongmu and had already entered the territory of Zhao State, and went to the border city of Zhao State, Boyang. Before the Qin State attacked Zhao Lianxia Nine Cities, which took the original Zhao State side of the gateway Anyang and Fangling all the cities, originally as Anyang and Fang Ling support Boyang became the first of the heavy cities, and Zhao State was not stupid in these years Boyang will be built, the city wall and moat are no less than Anyang.

The soldiers of Zhao State at the head of Boyang City looked at the endless Qin army below, and couldn't help but get nervous, and their main general of the city, Yang He, was also very nervous, his main task was to drag the Qin army, so that they could not take Boyang, once the Qin army took Boyang, and then crossed the Zhangshui to be able to point directly at Handan.

"Prepare the equipment to defend the city, we will defend it no matter what!" Yang He said to the soldiers around him.

Sergeant Zhao looked at the continuous Qin army below without the slightest confidence in his heart, Yang He looked at the soldiers indifferent, and he was helpless in his heart, he could only think of hoping that the Qin army would not attack the city so quickly. Under Yang He's prayer, the Qin army, which looked like it was going to attack the city, chose to set up camp at this moment.

Seeing that the Qin army did not choose to attack the city, the defenders of Boyang breathed a sigh of relief, they survived today.

Inside the camp of the Qin army.

Wang Jian was giving orders to the captain of the Qin army.

"Have a good rest tonight, and wait until tomorrow when we take Boyang in one fell swoop." Wang Jian said,

"No!"

The lieutenants left the big tent with their respective figures, and Wang Jian and Meng Tian were left in the tent.

Wang Jian looked at Meng Tian, his eyes flashed with appreciation from time to time, Meng Tian is now a hot figure in the Qin army, and in the Qingzhuang faction, he is on par with Wang Ben and Li Xin, who presided over the battle to destroy the country, and even surpasses Yang Duanhe, who was guarding in Zengxi.

Meng Tian took the golden fire cavalry on the grassland to fight for thousands of miles, and the matter of taking the camp of the Right Xian King was compiled into a book in the Qin State, and the storyteller kept talking about it day and night in the restaurant and teahouse.

In the task arrangement just now, Wang Jian specially asked Meng Tian to be responsible for the specific arrangements, and Meng Tian's arrangements were perfect in every place, so that people couldn't find out the problem.

Meng Tian watched Wang Jian constantly glance at himself, thinking that there was something wrong with the arrangement he had just made, so he asked

"Dashuai, is there anything wrong with my arrangement just now?"

"No, you're well arranged." Wang Jian shook his head and said, "I have a task for you. ”

"Let the commander command!" Meng Tian arched his hand and said.

"Ben Shuai knows about your thousands of miles on the grassland, so he wants to hand over this task to you, you come and see." Wang Jian took Meng Tian to the map and said.

"Boss, please speak."

Wang Jian pointed to Wucheng on the map and said

"Although Boyang is the south gate of Handan, but in fact, after we take Boyang, we have to face three problems, one of which is Wucheng and Yecheng, the two cities are built side by side, echoing each other, if we take this road The speed of attack will be greatly delayed, not to mention that Wucheng and Yecheng not only have Zhao no less than 50,000 border troops in the country, but also three or four cities behind it can support the two cities at any time, and there is a section of the Great Wall behind it that makes it impossible for us to surround Wucheng and Yecheng and besiege it."

Meng Tian looked at the location of Wucheng and Yecheng on the map and nodded, the two cities are indeed not easy to attack, but this road is what they must take, because there is still a Pingyang City on the right side of the two cities, if they can't take Wucheng and Yecheng, and choose to make a detour to attack Handan, it is easy to be cut back by the three cities.

"Does the marshal mean that he wants me to divide my troops to hold off the defenders of Pingyang?" Meng Tian thought for a while and said, Wang Qian's fighting style is to harden the village, fight in a daze, and divide the troops to attack Pingyang in two ways, which can attract the defenders of Yecheng to divide their troops to support, and it will be much easier to attack Wucheng and Yecheng at that time.

"No, I need you to take the Golden Fire Cavalry around Boyang, cross Zhangshui, ambush on the road from Wu'an to Wucheng, and then make a feint attack on Handan, attracting the surrounding defenders to defend Handan, so that Wucheng and Yecheng have no support from other cities, and we can take it in just three days." Do you have questions? Wang Jian said.

"There is no problem with the subordinates, although the commander can rest assured." Meng Tian arched his hand and said.

Li Mu surrendered to them, Wuling Iron Cavalry and Zhao Wang moved away from Germany, Wuling Iron Cavalry, the only Zhao cavalry that could fight against the Golden Fire Cavalry, did not have anything, and he had nothing to worry about at all.

"Although the Wuling Iron Cavalry and the King of Zhao are separated from Germany, and they are in Yanmen Pass, they still have to be careful, this road is not easy to walk, if they are exposed, they will face the Zhao army of several times the golden fire cavalry at any time." Wang Jian reminded.

"Don't worry, your subordinates will definitely live up to your trust!" Meng Tian said.
