Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 161 Bai Qi Willing to Die for My King
Qin State, Xianyang.

Countless defeated troops of the Qin State passed through Weihan and returned to the Qin State, a tragic defeat.

The three countries of Han, Wei, and Chu all began to recover the territories that had been lost for a long time.

Those lands that were lost in Bai Qi's hands were finally taken back by Luo Zai from Bai Qi's hands.

The undefeated Qin army has never been so embarrassed. The armor on his body is scattered and covered with blood and mud.

Those soldiers who were really injured had been left on the way, probably already killed.

Everyone was dumbfounded, wondering if their titles were enough to cover their crimes.

Fortunately, Bai Qi likes to fight battles of annihilation.

This has brought huge benefits to the Qin soldiers who need to record their merits at the first level, and most people can still bear it.

"General, are you going to see the king?"

The soldiers surrounded Bai Qi one after another, their eyes full of worry, fearing that Bai Qi, the defeated general, would be directly killed by the furious King Qin.

After that, it will be very difficult to get the War Merit Award.

Starting from Wei Yang's reform, after several generations, Qin people love to speak well, even between parents and husbands and wives, they have to speak clearly.

Bai Qi can exempt these soldiers from various apportioned corvees, and even get extra bounties.

These soldiers can't wait to confess Bai Qi as their ancestors.

For these soldiers, if one of Bai Qi and King Qin was chosen to survive, it must be Bai Qi.

What kind of thing is the King of Qin? This is probably the truest thought of the people of Qin.

Qin Palace.

The construction of the Qin Palace is very rough. There are no exquisite decorations on the palace, but rough textures.

Just like the people of Qin, walking out of the west step by step, his hands are full of calluses, and his face is full of traces of wind and frost.

The Kanto countries mocked Qin as a barbarian, but their stubbornness could not conceal that Qin occupied nearly half of the land in the world.

Bai Qi walked into the main hall with a heavy heart. This is the main hall where the state of Qin discusses its affairs. He wondered why Qin Wangji would meet him here.

Then he found that there were two rows of people sitting neatly under the pillars in the hall.

On the right side are the relatives of Qin Guozhong's Gongqing Zongqi, and on the left side are all the generals of the Qin Kingdom who followed him in battle, including Gong Ziti.

All of them were dressed in robes with crowns, their heads were lowered, their eyes were lowered, their hands were tied, their faces were serious, and they didn't say a word, and the silent needle drop could be heard in the hall.

Bai Qi walked into the hall, everyone glanced at it for a while, and then returned to the original appearance again.

Qin Wangji sat at the head with no expression on his face.

With bloodshot eyes, Bai Qi knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty.

I was defeated and failed, causing heavy losses to the Qin army. It is all my fault that your wish is broken.

Please also punish me, even if it is a sword and an axe, I will never complain. "

The Qin generals on the left who went out with the army felt tense when they heard the words. If Bai Qi was beheaded, they would all be defeated generals. Are there any exceptions?

King Qin Ji sighed, "Bai Qing, Qin is not Chu, and has never had the habit of overthrowing troops and killing generals.

Besides, you're wrong to say it's all your fault.

Can the outcome of a war be decided by the general alone?

You are a general in charge of the army. You have made so many military exploits in attacking Han Wei, trapping Jing and Chu, which proves that your ability is not a problem.

There were many reasons for the failure of the Battle of Luoyi, but the biggest reason was the widows.

Because the virtue of the widow is not enough to replace the Zhou family, but sent you to Luoyi to destroy the emperor of Zhou, so the gods punished the widow.

But I didn't expect it to be on your body.

How innocent you are, the widow should compensate you with gold and jewels. "

Speaking of Qin Wangji, he walked down, came to Bai Qi, and handed the sword in his hand to Bai Qi.

With a firm tone, he said: "Bai Qing, I will cultivate my own virtues and strive to be recognized by the heavens.

Then you will rejuvenate in the country, and wait until the mountains and rivers call for the people of Qin.

Bai Qing took this sword and went east again to pacify the six kingdoms for the widow.

I remember that when you first arrived in Qin State in the past, the widow once asked you what you wanted, and you said you wanted the trust of the widow, now is the time for the widow to fulfill the promise.

The widows believe that you are still the unparalleled general. Without you, can Qin be able to sweep the world? "

Qin Wangji actually took this huge defeat that Qin had not encountered for many years on himself!
Not only did he not blame Bai Qi, but he also trusted Bai Qi more and gave him his own sword.

There was a wave of fluctuation in Bai Qi's indifferent eyes all day long, and the eye sockets were slightly moist.

He lowered his head slightly, took the sword with both hands, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, I swear to you that this life will be your predecessor, and death will not follow.

Even if the great river dries up and the river stops flowing, I will never violate today's oath to repay your great kindness. "

Even the veins in Bai Qi's hand holding the sword were about to bulge.

There was a smile in Qin Wangji's eyes. In fact, when he just learned of the defeat, he was almost mad.

But Bai Qi is indeed a famous general in the world, even if he loses this game, it can only be said that it is normal to lose in the hands of Luo Shi.

When fighting against other nations, Bai Qi is still invincible.

Especially when Qin State just failed, it is necessary to guard against the six countries taking advantage of Qin State's heavy losses to jointly attack Qin State.

Following Qin Wangji's letting go of Bai Qi, the sense of stagnation in the hall was finally swept away.

Qin Wangji returned to the top and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this defeat has hindered the eastward journey, and even the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu have regained part of the lost land. What Qin should do in the future still needs to be discussed."

Bai Qi immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that when swordsmen compete with each other, it is often not the one who is too sharp to attack, but the one who is good at defense wins.

This is because the attack will open and close to reveal flaws, and it is more vulnerable to damage.

Presumably the same is true of war.

The minister continued to attack, trying to alienate Chu, but Prince Zai finally found a loophole. Isn't this one of the root causes of the failure of the Luoyi War?
The minister is very worried.

Under the leadership of Prince Zai, the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu have become so powerful. If the six kingdoms of Kanto unite, can Qin be able to stop it?

So the top priority now is to deploy defenses along the line.

If the six countries come to attack, they will rely on the dangerous mountains and rivers, attack them unprepared, and let them die in blood before Hangu Pass and Dahe. "

What Bai Qi said was exactly what Qin Wangji was worried about, "You are right, as long as a country becomes strong, other countries will jointly attack.

In the past, the Qin State had a long-distance relationship and a short-term attack, and the cowardice of the six countries was the only way to prevent the six countries from collaborating.

Now that Qin State has been defeated, there has never been any trust between the various countries. They must be attacking Qin State.

If Prince Zai leads his troops to attack, can you defend it? "

Bai Qi immediately said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, defending a city is completely different from fighting in the field.

Although Qin suffered a great loss this time, there was no problem in keeping Weihan. "

In the end, Qin Wangji asked a question, which made the temperature of the whole hall drop a few degrees.

"Prince Zai, how should we face him?

He has prestige among the nations, and the next time he goes east, if Prince Zai leads the coalition forces of Han, Wei and Chu again, he will return in vain. "

Qin State wants to go east, this is an unavoidable problem.

Bai Qi frowned tightly, thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty.

The prince is brave and brave, and his strategy is also appropriate. He is the strongest opponent he has ever encountered in his life.

Moreover, he has a noble status, so it is impossible for him to alienate him.

We can only start with Han Weichu, no matter how strong the prince Zai is, he is only one person.

It is too difficult to defeat him on the frontal battlefield, and I am afraid that the end result will be a loss for both sides. "

Everyone understood the meaning of Bai Qi's words, no matter what method is used, either get rid of Prince Zai's helpers first, or stay in Guanzhong obediently, don't think about going head-to-head, this is a strong man who can determine the outcome of a war.

Qin Wangji's face changed several times, and finally he sighed: "You are the general who commands the troops and fights with the crown prince, so I should listen to your opinion."

……

Prince Zai understood that the most correct course of action now is to organize the soldiers of the six countries to attack Qin, break through Weihan, and take this grand pass back from the hands of the Qin people.

Now that Qin State is weak, the fear of the princes towards Qin State has been greatly weakened.

But the joint vertical alliance could not be organized.

In particular, a group of old nobles were still detained in the capital of the Chu Kingdom.

If he led a large army to attack Qin now, the rear of Chu State would definitely be on fire.

Conquering the capital of Ying, seizing a large amount of achievements and political resources, and then promoting reforms, this is what Chu should do most.

Xiang Zeng said apologetically, "Prince.

It must be right to join forces to attack Qin, but under the circumstances, can they all follow the stranger's ideas?

This is too difficult, and now we can only take care of the present, otherwise not only will there be no future, but the present will also be lost.

If the reform of the Chu State is successful, then 15 years later, they will join forces to attack Qin. "

After speaking, Xiang Zeng returned to Chu State with the soldiers of Chu State.

The two countries of Han and Wei are satisfied with recovering a large amount of lost land, and have no interest in going to Hangu Pass to fight with the Qin people.

Faced with this situation, Luo Zai, who was invincible on the battlefield, said helplessly: "This is probably fate.

If you don't seize the opportunity, will the opportunity always exist?

15 years later? "

"cough!"

Luo Zai coughed suddenly, and a trace of bright red blood flowed out.

His face remained unchanged, he gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "Go back to Luo Country, I won't come here again."

The sky was blue, cloudless, and the sun was shining warmly.

Luo Zai felt like his whole body was soaked in hot water, only his heart was cold, and it was bone-chillingly cold.

He turned his head to look at Luoyi, and looked up at the sky. On the chariot was stuck the sword that accompanied him on the battlefield and killed the two kings.

The forest is severe and the cold is pressing.

----

Bai Qi was defeated in Luoyi and returned to Qin.

Qi Qi said: "The defeat starts with the ministers. Please ask the king to sin against the ministers, and the ministers will bow their heads and obey their ears."

When King Zhaoxiang heard about it, he said, "The victory or defeat is determined by God. Is it the general's responsibility?"The virtue of the widow is weak, so please don't say anything again.

Wang Fu said: I once read history, Qi Huan has thousands of miles of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and dominates the world, and it is made of Guanzi.

This code of mutual success between the monarch and his ministers, the widow bestows the sword on the monarch, and the monarch cherishes it.

From tears.

The amount of Zhaoxiang is measured by this. —— "Historical Records Qin Family"
