Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 409

Cai Ze shook his head, and said to Zhao Zhu: "Mr. An's words are indeed reasonable, but what I want to say is that the safety of Xianyang is the most important thing. Even if you want to take any action, you should first ensure the safety of Xianyang." The safety of the city is the top priority!"

Zhao Zhu wanted to argue with Cai Ze again, but at this time Qin Wangji had already made a decision.

"Enough is enough, there is no need to fight any more!"

Qin Wangji first glanced at An Guojun Zhao Zhu, then shifted his gaze to Cai Ze, and then said: "The widow decided to send a letter to Wang Cheng first to see if Wang He can send troops back to help. If it is possible, then three Attack all the way to destroy this Zhao army. If the frontline battle is really tight, then think about it in the long run!"

Chapter 4 Wang's Shuangxiong (third change)

Wangcheng front line.

After Wang Yan finished reading the letter from Xianyang City on the front line, the leader of the Qin State was a little confused.

After pondering for a while, Wang Yan opened his mouth and told the soldiers beside him, "Go and call General Wangling."

A moment later, Wang Ling appeared in front of Wang Lu.

"The general is calling, but what is the urgent military situation?"

Wang Lu said: "Your previous judgment was not wrong. The Zhao Army cavalry that went south from Shangjun was just a cover. The real main force of the Zhao Army cavalry has bypassed Luoshui, and now it has arrived outside Liyang City. The city is surrounded!"

"What?" Wang Ling's face changed immediately when he heard this, and he couldn't help but said, "In this way, isn't Xianyang in danger? How many cavalry are there in this Zhao army?"

Wang He let out a hey, and said to Wang Ling: "Since it is cavalry, it is naturally impossible to have too many troops. And judging from the secret report sent by the king, it is now in Xianyang City and Liyang City. The Zhao cavalry outside the city should add up to 2."

"2 people?" As soon as Wang Ling heard the number, his heart that had already been raised immediately eased, but he was still a little uncertain and said, "How does Your Majesty want to deal with this Zhao cavalry?"

Wang Yan shook his head, picked up the urgent report in his hand, and gestured towards Wang Ling.

Wang Ling received this urgent report, and after a while, a wry smile appeared on his face: "Your Majesty has created a big problem for us."

"That's right." Wang Yan rubbed his temples, and said a little tiredly: "According to common sense, the defense line of Wangcheng is extremely tight now, how can there be any troops to return to Xianyang? But since we already know that Xianyang and Liyang are both there Under the threat of Zhao's cavalry, how can a subject remain indifferent? If you don't come back to help, if something happens to Xianyang, wouldn't you and I give others an excuse?"

Wang Ling also felt a little speechless, and after a while he said: "Then, in the opinion of the general, what should we do now?"

Wang Yan shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "I don't know either."

The two looked at each other silently for a while.

After a while, Wang Yan broke the silence and asked Wang Ling, "How is Zhao's offensive today?"

Wang Ling replied: "It's strange to say that Zhao Jun's offensive today is obviously not as good as before!"

Wang Lu and Wang Ling looked at each other, and both of them suddenly realized.

The reason why Lian Po ordered the Zhao army to launch such a crazy offensive was that on the one hand, he wanted to see if he could break through the defense line of the Qin army in one go, but on the other hand, he must also have the intention of covering the cavalry unit that entered Guanzhong. .

Now that Zhao's cavalry has successfully entered Guanzhong, Lian Po, who has achieved his intention, can naturally slow down his offensive and plan slowly.

Wang Ling frowned, and said to Wang Lu: "General, there is actually another problem. Now that there are [-] Zhao cavalry, the route for the army to transport food has been cut off, and it must be resolved as soon as possible. "

Since the people of Qin State had already planned this battle for a long time, Qin State built a large granary in Shaoliang City, which was close to the front line of Wangcheng.

But now the 20 army under Wang Lu's command is doing nothing every day, and what people eat and chew is an astronomical sum of money.

After the battles these days, even with the continuous support from the Guanzhong rear, almost half of the grain and grass in the granary in Shaoliang City have been consumed.

If this Zhao army cavalry continues to do whatever they want, then the shortage of food for the Qin army on the front line will not be empty talk.

Wang Yan stretched out his hand and slapped the table hard, saying: "In any case, this time, the Zhao cavalry must be dealt with as soon as possible! What's your plan?"

But he kicked the ball back again.

Wang Ling's eyes flickered, and after thinking for a while, he said: "General, since Lian Po's side has begun to relax the offensive, why not let me quietly lead [-] elite troops back to aid, plus Xianyang If the defenders in Liyang City and Liyang City attack from three directions, the Zhao cavalry will definitely be defeated."

Wang Lu pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Yes. If this is the case, then I will write back to Xianyang, so that the king can feel at ease."

Wang Ling nodded, with some hesitation on his face, as if he wanted to say something.

But soon, this hesitation disappeared from Wang Ling's face.

Wang Ling turned around and strode towards the door of the big tent.

But Wang Ling's hesitation was clearly seen by Wang Ling, so when Wang Ling was about to walk out of the big tent, Wang Lu stopped him.

"What's the matter?"

Wang Yan stared at Wang Ling with piercing eyes.

Although he didn't specify which matter, Wang Lu knew very well in his heart that Wang Ling must understand what he was talking about.

Wang Ling hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but said in a low voice: "I was thinking, if that one has always been in command, will the outcome of these few battles be the same as before?"

Upon hearing these words, Wang Lu's expression immediately sank.

Of course, Wang Lu knew very well, who was the person in Wang Ling's words referring to?

Lord Wu An rose up in vain.

Wang Ling has always been regarded as one of Bai Qi's favorite generals.

But the problem is, if Wang Ling said such a thing, wouldn't it be equivalent to directly questioning Wang Lu's incompetence in command?

After all, after Bai Qi lost his military power, Wang Lu was the commander in all of Qin's subsequent battles.

So Wang Yan glared at Wang Ling fiercely, and said sharply: "This is the order of the king, don't talk nonsense. Since we are the ministers of the king, then since we obey the order of the king and serve him loyally, you How can you have such disrespectful thoughts!"

Everyone knows very well that the person who took back Bai Qi's military power and put Bai Qi under house arrest is the current king of Qin, Qin Wangji.

So Wang Ling's words were equivalent to directly questioning Qin Wangji's decision and slapping Wang Lu in the face by the way, so it's no wonder Wang Lu was furious.

Watching Wang Ling's leaving figure, Wang Lu was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

The problem with large families is that, because there are many, many people in these families, sometimes the interests of the individual and the interests of the family are not completely consistent.

For example, Wang Lu is the real head of the Wang family now, but Wang Lu is very clear in his heart that his brother Wang Ling has always been different from him.

Wang Ling should belong to the Bai Qi family.

Although it is said that Qin Wangji directly took down Baiqi and seized the military power of Baiqi with extremely decisive means, the generals of Baiqi's line like Wang Ling were not clearly understood by Qin Wangji and Fan Sui, but a large number of them stayed behind. In the Qin army.

Wang He knew very well why Qin Wangji and Fan Sui did this.

This is of course to prevent Wang Lu from being the only one in the army, and to reproduce Bai Qi's demeanor that no one can check and balance back then.

So Wang Yan is his own suffering and he knows it.

Wang Ling is nominally Wang Lu’s younger brother, and it sounds like he should be wearing the same pair of pants as Wang Lu, but in fact, if Bai Qi can have a chance to come back, then Wang Ling must have raised his hands and agreed to let Bai Qi replace Wang Lu of.
