Chapter 299: The salary is not exhausted, the fire is not extinguished!
For the current situation in the state of Chu,
The civil and military ministers of the Qin State almost all gave the same answer.
There is no way to return to heaven!
The main force is gone, and the Qi army is about to come to the city.
In the face of a Qi army several times larger than itself, the state of Chu basically had no hope of turning the tables.
Fan Sui simply told his prediction and M.VOdTW.COM
Empress Dowager Xuan took a deep breath and didn't speak, but her eyes were slightly closed and she didn't know what she was thinking.
In the main hall,
There was silence for a moment.
It wasn't until a long time later that Empress Dowager Xuan opened her eyes, looked at Emperor Qin on the side, and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty thinks?" ”
"If the state of Chu is annexed by the state of Qi, then the state of Qi will occupy almost half of the world, I think that the state of Qin should not be a watcher, even if it was defeated for a while, but the foundation is not damaged, not only should it take a share of the state of Chu, but also should seize the time to expand eastward into the Central Plains!"
Although Emperor Qin's tone seemed calm and indifferent, his words were full of ambition to engrave into the bloodline of the Qin State and annex the world.
"What does Wu Anjun think?"
After the words fell, Emperor Qin turned his head to look at Bai Qi on the side.
Bai Qi said lightly: "The main force of the Chu State is in mourning, and the capital Shouchun is even more precarious, and the western region of the Chu State is defenseless at this time!" ”
"Our army can indeed take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the western part of the Chu State."
Zhang Yi nodded and agreed: "Yes, when we discussed the matter of attacking Chu with the Qi State before, we also used Dabie Mountain as the boundary, and now we should immediately send an army to annex this area." ”
Seeing that the crowd agreed,
Empress Dowager Xuan nodded in agreement: "Okay, then order Meng Tian to be the general, and lead 50,000 troops to Chu State immediately!" ”
......
Zhao Guo, Jinyang City.
After more than two years of development,
As the new capital of Zhao State, today's Jinyang has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the past.
Both the population in the city and the prosperity of the city are far greater than before.
Even
After the capital,
Zhao Guo also renovated Jinyang City.
There are many fortifications, including the city walls, all of which have been rebuilt or reinforced.
After all, as the capital, it must do a good job in defense.
And
The location here is also very close to the Qin State.
It made Emperor Zhao very insecure.
Now, after two years of respite, Zhao Guo can be regarded as recovering a little.
However, the loss of half of the country, and at the same time the most prosperous Central Plains region, led to the current Zhao State, which is full of the twilight of the elderly.
To put it mildly, it's almost half-dead.
If it weren't for the reform of Zhao Guo after the Hufu cavalry and archery, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers would be okay, otherwise Zhao Guo would be reduced to a second-rate country.
This time
Hearing that the state of Chu was attacked by the state of Qi and the state of Qin,
The monarchs and ministers of Zhao State, who understood the truth of the death of their lips and teeth, immediately sent an army of 200,000 to attack Qin.
Thinking about encircling Wei to save Zhao, he led part of the Qin army.
For the current Zhao State, these 200,000 troops are actually their old base.
If it is damaged, it will not be far from the country of death.
therefore
Before sending troops,
Emperor Zhao told thousands of instructions, and he was done with the Qin army.
Don't go head-to-head.
It is necessary to ensure that these 200,000 troops return safe and sound.
In fact, speaking from the heart,
If it weren't for the worries, after the Chu State was destroyed, the Zhao State would become the next target.
Zhao Qian really didn't want to care about the other party.
After all, what does the life or death of the Chu State have to do with itself.
But there is no direct relationship, but there is an indirect relationship.
On this day,
Zhao Qian, as always, was in bed, playing with the harem concubines.
Zhao Qian, who has succeeded to the throne for almost ten years, is actually similar to Han Lin in terms of behavior.
Especially the love of beauty.
However, there are also differences, such as Zhao Qian is particularly greedy, likes money, and in one is that he is often suspicious of his subordinates, and often suspects that someone will rebel and murder himself, etc.
Because of this,
Zhao Qian did not dismiss others.
However, at the time of the national crisis, he now has no other way than to believe in Li Mu and Lin Xiangru and others.
......
As Zhao Qian finished playing, he entered the sage mode.
The eunuch outside the palace door dared to knock on the door, and then walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister asked to see him, saying that he had something important to discuss with His Majesty. ”
Zhao Qian said impatiently: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhao Qian, who was in sage mode, had no strength all over his body, and he was paralyzed on the bed like a dead pig.
The eunuch shook his head; "The slave doesn't know, but the prime minister seems to be very anxious."
Hearing the word anxious,
Zhao Qian had to get up and go to the imperial study.
Not long after,
The two met in the Imperial Study.
After meeting, Zhao Qian asked straight to the point: "What's the matter, looking for me in a hurry?" ”
Lin Xiangru said with a solemn face: "Something is wrong." ”
Zhao Qian chuckled in his heart, and asked cautiously: "Could it be the front line, our army has been defeated?" ”
Lin Xiangru shook his head: "It's not our army, it's about the Chu State."
