Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

You must know that during this period of time, Cai Ze rarely entered the palace because he was busy with official duties and various matters, and Qin Wangchu seemed to be so happy, handing over all the power to Cai Ze, but hiding in the palace himself Have fun.

But the problem is that the current state of Qin is at stake. Is it appropriate for you to go to have fun at this time, my lord?

Cai Ze suppressed the anger in his heart, and said loudly to King Qin who kept shaking his head to the music: "Old minister Cai Ze, I have seen the king!"

As soon as Cai Ze's voice sounded, the music in the entire hall stopped abruptly.

Qin Wangchu, who was still immersed in the music, suddenly became furious: "Why did you stop, did you ask you to stop? Hey, Mr. Gang Cheng, it's you who came."

Cai Ze nodded helplessly, and said, "My lord, I have an urgent military situation to report to your lord, and please ask your lord to let those who have nothing to do with you to leave first."

"Urgent military situation?" Qin Wangchu was excited, and hurriedly said: "Didn't the widow tell you already? From now on, you should not tell the widow about these things, although you can make up your own mind. Well, if there is nothing else If so, then Gang Chengjun, you should go back first."

Cai Ze's footsteps stood firmly in place, but he emphasized his tone: "My lord, this military situation is related to the life and death of Daqin, and my lord must listen!"

Qin Wangchu glanced at Cai Ze, who was not giving an inch, and waved his hands helplessly, making those musicians and dancers who had received amnesty retreat.

"Okay, let's talk, what's the matter?" Qin Wangchu asked with a sad face, while picking up the wine cup in his hand, as if he wanted to drink away his sorrow.

Perhaps it was because he had suffered too many blows, the king of Qin has completely given up on himself now, and he is even afraid to hear about the military situation, a typical ostrich mentality.

Cai Ze took a deep breath, stared at Qin Wangchu, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that General Zhao Zhao Kuo led a partial division to break through the Mi Cang Road, and the troops led by Li Bing were defeated by Zhao Kuo. , Now Zhao Kuo's troops have a total of more than [-] people, all of whom have entered Berkshire!"

"Dang." With a sound, the wine glass in Qin Wangchu's hand fell to the ground.

The next moment, the face of the King of Qin became extremely distorted: "Zhao Jun has already entered the land of Bashu?"

Cai Ze sighed, and said, "That's right, in fact, Your Majesty"

"You bastard!!!" Before Cai Ze could say it, he was interrupted by Qin Wangchu's angry roar.

Qin Wangchu directly overturned the table in front of him, causing many items placed on the table to fall to the ground in an instant, there was a loud clanging sound, and then the smell of wine quietly permeated the palace.

Qin Wangchu stared at Cai Ze with a ferocious face, and said, "What is going on with this Li Bing, that he can't even defend a small rice warehouse?"

Cai Ze said helplessly: "My lord, Li Bing's soldiers are mainly Ba people. Although these Ba people are brave, they are inferior to the men in Guanzhong. It is indeed difficult to resist. Now Li Bing has retreated to Bacheng, and is waiting for the king to send reinforcements to rescue him."

"Reinforcements?" Qin Wangchu sneered, and said, "The widow can't protect himself now, where can he get reinforcements for him? Just let him fend for himself!"

After a pause, Qin Wangchu seemed to be cheering himself up and said: "Anyway, Zhao Kuo only has a mere few thousand people. What kind of troubles can his 4000 people make in this huge Bashu land? By the way, the widow is actually You can still send troops, but I want to send troops to destroy this damned Zhao Kuo, so that the Zhao people will lose the entrance to Bashu, Mi Cang Road! Gang Chengjun, do you think the plan of the widow is very reasonable?"

As he spoke, Qin Wangchu actually beamed with joy.

Cai Ze looked a little sad, and said to Qin Wangchu: "Your Majesty, this plan may not work."

Qin Wangchu was not happy when he heard this: "Why not? Is it impossible for the widows to watch Zhao Jun continue to enter the land of Bashu from Mi Cang Road?"

Cai Ze sighed and said, "Your Majesty, actually"

After a long pause, Cai Ze finally continued: "The news I just received is that the Jiameng pass has been lost and the main general Wei Liao has been captured."

As soon as Cai Ze uttered these words, needles could be heard in the entire hall.

Qin Wangchu's eyes widened, with an expression of complete disbelief on his face.

Suddenly, the young King Qin yelled, "It hurts me too!", and then he fell on his head, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

9 Chapter Ninety

After seeing King Qin Chu faint, Cai Ze's scare was really serious.

Okay, why did you faint?

"Palace doctor, quickly send the palace doctor!"

There was a sudden panic in the whole palace.

After tossing and tossing for half an hour, a palace doctor who was about the same age as Cai Ze said to Cai Ze while wiping the sweat from his temples: "Mr. In addition, it was just a fainting caused by physical weakness and fire. I have already given the king an soothing soup, as long as the king sleeps and has a good rest for a day, it will be fine."

When Cai Ze heard these words, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for the majestic King of Qin to be frightened to death just because he heard the news that Zhao Jun was advancing into Bashu?

And speaking of it, if Qin Wang Chu really died, Cai Ze would be blamed for scaring the monarch to death, which would be too unfair.

By Cai Ze's side, a group of ministers of the Qin State had already gathered. Now that Qin Wangchu will not be awake for a while, everyone will naturally only look forward to Cai Ze.

Someone asked: "Gang Chengjun, now that the Zhao army has entered Bashu, what should we do?"

Everyone looked at Cai Ze eagerly, waiting for Cai Ze to come up with an idea.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles.

Bad news often spread very quickly, so soon after Cai Ze knew the news, almost all the ministers of Qin State in Chengdu also knew the news.

The current ministers of the Qin State are like drowning people, blindly trying to grab a life-saving straw, regardless of whether the straw is useful or not, at least it must be there first, so that people can feel at ease.

Facing the help-seeking gazes from groups around him, Cai Ze didn't know what these colleagues meant?

But the question is what good idea can Cai Ze have now?He could only comfort and say: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, everything will be decided when the king wakes up."

Seeing many Qin ministers leaving with a sigh, Cai Ze stood there silently, with a little hesitation on his old face.

Cai Ze is not the kind of minister who can govern the country and command the army, so in every war, he can only sit in the rear and do logistics, and fulfill his responsibilities for the soldiers on the front line.

But now that the soldiers on the front line have lost one after another, it is clear that they cannot beat the people of Zhao Guoren, and the diplomatic situation of the entire continent leaves Qin Guo no room for cooperation, so what can Cai Ze do?

What happened in Xianyang Palace spread throughout the entire city of Chengdu at an extremely fast speed.

Rumors are always exaggerated and magnified on the way of spreading, then slowly change, and eventually become rumors.

When it becomes a rumor, the authenticity is far from the original rumor.

When the night just fell, the rumors in the city of Chengdu were still "30 Zhao troops have broken through the Jiameng pass, and they will come to the city of Chengdu within ten days", but by the middle of the night, the rumors had become "50 Ten thousand Zhao troops have all crossed Jiameng Pass, and the striker is only three days away from Chengdu." By early morning, the rumors had become "80 Zhao troops are already less than a hundred miles away from Chengdu, and Zhao's forwards are only three days away from Chengdu." The city is at most twenty miles away."

It is conceivable how much panic such rumors will cause to the residents of Chengdu.

But what is even more frightening is that when the residents of Chengdu City dragged their families and wanted to leave the city early the next morning, they were told that the entire city had been completely sealed off, and there was no such thing as Mr. Gang Cheng. Cai Ze's warrant ordered no one to come and go.

A large number of city residents gathered on the road inside the city gate, and clashes broke out with the soldiers guarding the city immediately after learning the news.

But these soldiers of the Qin Army might not be able to defeat the people of Zhao State during the war, but when they faced the unarmed common people, their ferocity was successfully aroused.

After a few bursts of dense arrow rain passed, the originally excited crowd immediately dispersed and went back to their respective homes, leaving behind only endless curses.

It was also on this day that Cai Ze, the Prime Minister of the Qin State, encountered the most serious wave of doubts in his short prime minister's career so far.

Many Qin ministers think that it is not very appropriate to close the city of Chengdu so early. Cai Ze should immediately lift the closure order and reopen all the gates of Chengdu.
