Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Of course, there are many old Qin people who are not afraid of death, but there are also many people who are afraid of death. These households who are willing to act as Zhao Kuo's guides obviously belong to the latter category.

In fact, it's not just for saving his life, but also the military merits promised by Zhao Kuo are also very crucial.

After all, the military merit system has been implemented in Guanzhong for nearly 200 years, and the old Qin people are very clear about what military merit means.

"The general is calling, what's the matter?" A short and strong middle-aged household from Qin State with piercing eyes said to Zhao Kuo, this household is also the leader of all the households.

Zhao Kuo stared at the middle-aged man named "She" in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "How far is it from Hanzhong?"

She Gongsheng replied: "Go back to the general, ten miles ahead, there is a place called Yingfeng, as long as you pass Yingfeng, you will be the Hanzhong Plain."

"Yingfeng? Hanzhong Plain?" Zhao Kuo listened to She's answer, and his eyes gradually lit up: "So today I can walk out of this damn Meridian Road?"

She replied, "Exactly."

She is very respectful when speaking. This kind of respect is not just because of Zhao Kuo's position, but also includes her inner admiration.

As a native, She knows how difficult it is to walk the Meridian Road.

If it is an ordinary person, if he can complete this Meridian Road in half a month, it is already a pretty good performance.

However, Zhao Kuo and the [-] Zhao troops under his command completed this steep Meridian Road in only eight days when they walked this road for the first time. It has to be said that this is a very amazing marching speed.

Even She himself was quite exhausted after the eight days of marching, but She could clearly see that although these Zhao soldiers were also a little tired, the eyes of each of them seemed like a vicious beast that only chooses and devours. Wolf!

This is a very hungry army, what they desire is nothing else, but the incomparably tempting slaughter and battle exploits!

A division of hungry wolves!

Zhao Kuo nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Very well, if you can get out of this place, you will be very talented!"

She was overjoyed, bowed lower when saluting, and her tone became more respectful when speaking: "Thank you, General Zhao Kuo!"

Shooting is really not a lie. At dusk on this day, Zhao Kuo and his five thousand soldiers finally arrived at Yingfeng after trekking all the way through mountains and rivers.

The place Yingfeng can't even be called a small town, at best it's just a small town.

So even after a very hard day's journey, Zhao Kuo still occupied the small town effortlessly.

After capturing Yingfeng, Zhao Kuo took a short rest, then continued westward, and captured Chenggu City in Hanzhong County of Qin State five days later.

It was here that Zhao Kuo learned a news that shocked him.

"Qin King Chu gave up Xianyang, and it is inevitable that he has arrived in Nanzheng?"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but widen his eyes, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and put it on the neck of the two or five hundred masters who had been captured by him in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Is this really true? If you If you dare to deceive this general, then your head will definitely be lost!"

Qin Jun's two or five hundred masters were shaking like sifting chaff, and they trembled a little when they spoke: "General, please forgive me, I dare to swear to God, my king did arrive in Nanzheng two days ago. I am It was ordered by my king to come to Chenggu City to mobilize manpower, and prepare to defend Hanzhong with the order of General Wei Liao."

After Zhao Kuo interrogated several captives again and again, he finally confirmed the fact that King Chu of Qin was indeed in Hanzhong at this moment, and that he was probably still in Nanzheng City.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo's heart suddenly became hot.

Nanzheng City is only two days away from Chenggu City where Zhao Kuo is now!

Chapter 979 The Dangerous Love in Hanzhong (First Update)

Zhao Kuo was tempted.

Of course Zhao Kuo will be tempted, after all, this is a great achievement.

If Qin Wang Chu can be captured, no matter whether this Qin Wang Chu is dead or alive, Zhao Kuo will definitely contribute the most to the battle to destroy Qin this time, and no one can compare with him.

But Zhao Kuo also hesitated, that is, Qin Wang Chu, as the king of Qin, must have a lot of troops around him, but Zhao Kuo now has only more than 4000 less than [-] Zhao soldiers. His morale must be completely different, but this does not mean that Zhao Jun is sure to win.

Moreover, Nanzheng is the largest city in Hanzhong County of Qin State, Zhao Kuo is not very confident in whether he can break through this city.

After Zhao Kuo has experienced so many battles, he is no longer the hot-blooded young man who was fledgling ten years ago.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo immediately continued to ask the two or five hundred lords of Qin in front of him: "Tell me, how many troops are there in Nanzheng City?"

These two or five hundred masters are obviously smart people. When they saw Zhao Kuo's appearance, they naturally thought of what Zhao Kuo would do next, and hurriedly said: "Return to General, there are about 5 people in Nanzheng City people, but I heard that half of them were recruited temporarily by the king, and only the remaining half were the regular army who followed the king to withdraw from the pass."

"5 people?" Zhao Kuo frowned when he heard this.

Although I am very confident in my own troops, this one against ten always feels unreliable.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Come on, pass on the order, set off tomorrow morning, and go straight to Nanzheng!"

Anyway, Zhao Kuo decided to look for opportunities first, after all, Qin Wangchu's head was there, it was too tempting.

And in Nanzheng City, King Chu of Qin was furious.

"Idiots, they are all a bunch of idiots!"

Qin Wangchu's mentality collapsed.

In fact, since the withdrawal from Xianyang City, Qin Wangchu's mentality has almost exploded, and when he knew that Lu Buwei had offered the city to surrender, Qin Wangchu had completely fallen into a state of almost madness.

On the night when he heard the news, the furious Qin Wangchu ordered the execution of hundreds of people, including many officials who followed Qin Wangchu and were considered old friends with Lu Buwei.

No one dared to dissuade Qin Wangchu, even though many people knew very well that Lu Buwei's real confidant had actually surrendered to Zhao Jun along with Lu Buwei in Xianyang City.

After that day, Qin Wangchu has been in a state of rage that cannot be extricated from himself, and anything will make him fly into a rage.

"The widow has just arrived in Hanzhong, and the Zhao people have already come? I want to ask you, what is the use of the widow raising you and other generals and ministers?" King Qin was frothing, patting the table with both hands vigorously, In front of him was a row of trembling Qin ministers.

Speaking of which, these ministers of the Qin State were also very hard-pressed. They followed their king loyally and fled all the way.

Amid Qin Wangchu's scolding, many people secretly turned their eyes to Cai Ze.

Cai Ze is now the new Prime Minister of Qin.

If it was placed before, this must have been a decision that made Cai Ze's heart ecstatic, but now Cai Ze doesn't have any expression on his face, but is still dignified.

The current state of Qin is a complete mess, and whoever is in charge of this mess will definitely not be happy.

However, Cai Ze knew very well in his heart that at this moment, he was indeed the only one who could say a few words.

So Cai Ze coughed and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhao army is coming in menacingly now, and the veteran thinks that Nanzheng is no longer a safe place, so please retreat south quickly, and enter Bashu first."

The arduous march these days has been a great test for Qin Wangchu and the wives and ministers around him, both physically and mentally.

In addition, although Guanzhong and Hanzhong are separated by the Qinling Mountains, it is precisely because of the existence of this mountain that the differences between the two sides are very large, both in terms of geographical environment and climate.

So even though he was eager to run away, after arriving in Nanzheng, Qin Wangchu had to heed the voice from below and take a rest here.

After hearing Cai Ze's words, Qin Wangchu was shocked, and his whole body suddenly became a little sober.
