Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 408

So Qin Wangji waved his hand, and then said: "Quickly send someone to investigate how many cavalry there are outside Xianyang City!"

Cai Ze bowed and said, "Here!"

Cai Ze is quite confident about investigating the enemy's situation clearly.

After all, this is the hinterland of Guanzhong that Qin State has operated for hundreds of years. It is no exaggeration to say that every old Qin person living in this land is the eyeliner of Qin State.

Under such circumstances, Cai Ze has the confidence to find out all the enemy troops in a maximum of two days.

But at this time, a report suddenly sounded: "My lord, urgent report from Liyang!"

"Liyang?" Qin Wangji was startled, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and present it to the widow!"

A moment later, after reading the information from Yueyang City, Qin Wangji raised his head, his face was already ashen.

"According to the urgent report from Liyang, 2 Zhao cavalry have completely surrounded Liyang City!"

As soon as Qin Wangji's words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

First Xianyang, then Liyang.

How could it be that overnight, the hinterland of Guanzhong, which seemed to be unbreakable, was full of wolf smoke, and Zhao Guo cavalry was everywhere?

Chapter 4: To fight or not to fight? (Second more)

Qin Wangji couldn't calm down anymore.

First Xianyang, then Liyang, these two cities happen to be the two most important cities in Guanzhong and even Qin State, but now there are cavalry soldiers from Zhao State.

What the hell, are these Zhao people everywhere?

What annoyed Qin Wangji the most was that at this time, Qin's monarchs and ministers have not fully figured out the number of Zhao's cavalry!

So soon, Qin Wangji's roar echoed in the hall again: "How many Zhao people are there in the widow's territory now, who can tell the widow a definite answer?"

Such an answer is of course impossible. Someone came to tell Qin Wangji.

At least at this moment, no one in the entire Qin Palace knew how many cavalry had entered the pass.

At this time, an old eunuch suddenly appeared in a hurry, holding a piece of information in his hand and handing it to Qin Wangji.

Qin Wangji glanced at the old eunuch in surprise, and then opened the information to read it.

Looking at it, the anger on Qin Wangji's face began to show signs of subsiding.

After withdrawing for a while, Qin Wangji spoke again, breaking the silence in the hall.

"I just got a secret report that a total of [-] cavalrymen of the Zhao army entered Shangjun from Henan. A small part of them headed south to Wangcheng with great fanfare, and the main force detoured from the west bank of Luoshui River. After several days of marching, they appeared in Outside Liyang City!"

As soon as Qin Wangji said these words, the ministers of Qin State who were present all heaved a sigh of relief.

After figuring out the specific situation of the enemy, the next thing you need to do is how to deal with it, which is relatively simple.

For the current state of Qin, although [-] enemy troops are very troublesome, it is not considered an unsolvable problem.

But only a moment later, many ministers who came to their senses became nervous again.

The sudden appearance of the [-] enemy troops in Qin State proved one thing, that is, Qin State made a major mistake in intelligence reconnaissance and judgment, and was confused by Zhao Guoren.

Since it was a mistake, and it was such a major mistake, it was inevitable that someone would lose his head.

And it will drop a lot of heads.

Sure enough, Qin Wangji immediately said in a deep voice after getting angry: "Pass on the widow's order, and all relevant responsible persons will be taken down by the widow, and the widow will deal with it after the war!"

After a pause, Qin Wangji continued to speak: "Since we already know that the number of Zhao people is [-], what I want to ask is whether I can directly annihilate the [-] Zhao army!"

Obviously, Qin Wangji was still very worried about the fact that the Great Qin Empire had forced [-] Zhao troops to his door, and his first reaction was to kill this Zhao army.

This matter is not only related to Qin Wangji's personal attitude, but also related to Qin's diplomatic reputation

If it is said that Qin State can only swallow his anger even when others hit the door, then after the princes of the world heard the news, Qin State's little remaining diplomatic prestige basically disappeared.

This is definitely not what Qin Wangji wants to see.

From an inner point of view, Qin Wangji hopes to keep the 2 Zhao army in this land of Guanzhong permanently, so that all enemies who dare to invade the Guanzhong Basin will know that Qin's advantages are not so easy to take advantage of. of.

Of course, after all, if you want to achieve this, then Qin Wangji must get the help of these Qin ministers present.

At this time, Prince Qin and Lord An, Zhao Zhu, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke.

"Father, I am willing to lead the elite soldiers to attack and destroy this Zhao army!"

Zhao Zhu jumped out to ask for a fight at this time, but after some deliberation.

After all, Xianyang City is the capital of the Qin State. No matter how the battle situation changes, Xianyang City has a sufficiently elite army to guard it at any time.

After all, the army was already on an expedition. If there were no capable troops guarding the capital, wouldn't it be easy for someone with a bad intention to launch a rebellion?

Therefore, even though Qin State and Zhao State are fighting fiercely on the front line, the more than 2 Qin State defenders in Xianyang are still first-class elite troops.

In Zhao Zhu's view, it should be very easy for him to lead this extremely elite Qin army to destroy the invading Zhao army.

Since it was easy, why did Zhao Zhu give the credit to others?

And this time the Zhao people came, they were all cavalry.

In Zhao Zhu's perception, the cavalry is a scumbag at all!

Qin Wangji looked at Zhao Zhu and remained silent.

Qin Wangji is quite familiar with the abilities of his son. Although Zhao Zhu said that he should be quite good at governing the country, it is really uncertain whether he can fight this battle well when he is leading the army. .

And as the saying goes, don't be afraid of [-], just in case, if this battle is lost, then the elite soldiers in Xianyang City will definitely lose everything.

At that time, if the Zhao people take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them, maybe even Xianyang City will fall.

Although Qin Wangji thinks that this possibility is not too great, but Xianyang is the capital of Qin after all, and Qin Wangji is not willing to be the first king of Qin whose capital has been breached in history.

Seeing Qin Wangji's silent appearance, Zhao Zhu's face gradually turned ugly, and the ministers of the Qin State seemed to understand something.

A minister of the State of Qin suddenly came out and said: "My lord, the cavalry of the State of Zhao has always been famous all over the world, and I heard that not long ago, the cavalry of the State of Zhao defeated the entire Linhu tribe with fewer victories and more in the battle of Henan. Wan Jingrui, if you fight easily, your victory or defeat is unpredictable."

Zhao Zhu's face became even uglier.

Xiangbang Cai Ze looked left and right, and suddenly came out to play: "Your Majesty, if you must go out of the city, it is better to order Wang Lu to send an army back to help, and then go to Xianyang and Liyang. If the defenders attack at the same time, they will certainly be able to break through the Zhao army's cavalry army, what does your majesty think?"

As soon as Cai Ze said these words, Zhao Zhu's heart became hot, and the anger was unstoppable, and he immediately retorted: "Nowadays, the frontline is tense, how can we easily send troops back from the frontline?"
