Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

For some reason, Zhao Dan suddenly had a premonition in his heart.

The meeting between myself and Xun Kuang today is likely to completely change the history of Huaxia Ming, and give Huaxia Ming a chance to rule the entire earth in a real sense!

Zhao Dan let out a long breath, as if he had a clear understanding in his heart.

Perhaps, this is the true meaning of time travel.

Chapter 192 The Heavy Loss of Qin State Made Qin Wangji Very Displeased (Second Update)

Xianyang Palace.

The Xianyang Palace in winter is empty and cold, even if there is a fire burning in the hall, it still cannot drive away the chill in everyone's heart in the hall.

Qin Wangji was sitting on the throne. The 65-year-old King of Qin seemed to be much older than before, but his voice was still as majestic as ever.

"How is the war between Zhao and Yan?"

This is not a big court meeting, so sitting in front of Qin Wangji are just a few important officials of Qin State.

Among them, a minister replied: "Go back to your lord, according to the frontline report a few days ago, the king of Yan has ordered people to go to Handan to ask for peace."

"Seeking peace?" Qin Wangji's face turned cold, he snorted fiercely, and said: "This King Yan has an army of 20, and even [-] Zhao's army can't defeat it, how ridiculous!"

Qin Wangji was obviously very dissatisfied with the scumbag fighting power shown by Yan State, and even more dissatisfied with Yan State's attitude of seeking peace with Zhao State so soon.

From Qin Wangji's point of view, it is obvious that Yan State should fight Zhao State for three to five years, and it is best to fight to the detriment of both sides.

It's a pity that the king of Yan was not as brave as Qin Wangji imagined. Qin and Zhao had just negotiated a peace, and the king of Yan immediately gave up

When Qin Wangji got angry, the hall of Xianyang Palace suddenly became silent, and no minister dared to speak at this time, so as not to touch Qin Wangji's inverse scale.

Since the Qinghe meeting, Qin Wangji's temper has obviously become a lot worse. Since these days, four ministers have been punished by Qin Wangji's order for some small faults that are impossible to be investigated on weekdays. .

Qin Wangji was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

There is only one way to make Qin Wangji happy again, and that is to win again.

Only victory and expansion of territory can make this king who aspires to dominate the world happy.

Qin Wangji glanced at the important ministers of the Qin State who were silent at first, and felt a burst of irritability in his heart. There is not even one who can share the worries of the widow?

Qin Wangji took a deep breath, endured his anger and dissatisfaction and continued: "How about the casualty count?"

After negotiating peace with Zhao Guo and withdrawing troops from the front line of Changping, Qin Guo did not launch the army to go south again immediately, but counted the casualties, and then disbanded the army and the recruited civilians and returned home.

Due to the large number of the Qin army and the fact that it would take some time to return to the mainland of Qin from the Changping front line, this work obviously could not be completed in three to five days.

However, more than half a month has passed now, and Qin Wangji feels that it is almost time to have a statistics.

Qin Wangji set his sights on Xiangbang Fan Sui who was in charge of this work.

Fan Sui straightened his body slightly, and said to Qin Wangji: "My lord, in this battle of Changping, the number of our troops killed is about 15, and the number of injured is about [-]."

As soon as Fan Sui's number was reported, all the ministers of the State of Qin couldn't help gasping.

60 killed in battle sounds like an acceptable result for a defeated battle. After all, Qin State dispatched an army of [-] this time.

But any minister of Qin State who has a little understanding of war can know that this is not the case.

The key lies in the injured 15 Qin soldiers.

Due to the limitations of medical conditions in this era, the mortality rate after injury is very high.

And like ordinary minor injuries, such as being cut off with a knife and making a big cut on the arm, or having one or two fingers cut off, these are not counted in the statistics to make the numbers look better. within the scope of the injury.

Generally speaking, to be called an injury, it would be something like severed limbs, being stabbed through the abdomen and so on.

Such an injury is undoubtedly a major injury.

With the medical conditions of this era, it is almost a matter of resignation to heal such a serious injury.

Therefore, the mortality rate after injury is very high, usually as high as [-]% to [-]%.

what does that mean?This means that among the 15 injured soldiers of the Qin Army, at least [-] wounded soldiers of the Qin Army will not survive this winter, and may not even survive half a month.

If the statistical report came two or three days late, the number of deaths would definitely change from [-] to [-], or even more.

In other words, the real death toll that Qin State paid in this defeat was not just 8 people, but at least 10 more, and the total number was about 20!

In just one battle, Qin State lost the lives of a full 20 soldiers of the Qin Army, and got nothing. Instead, Zhao State won Shangdang County and became an opponent who could stand side by side with Qin State.

Even for Qin, this was a traumatic loss.

For Qin Wangji personally, this is the biggest setback he has suffered since he took the throne 47 years ago.

No one is in a good mood when faced with such setbacks.

Sure enough, after Qin Wangji listened to Fan Sui's report, the king's face was extremely gloomy, and it seemed that there were dark clouds, and it seemed that an explosion might happen at any time.

He didn't get angry immediately, which was already a manifestation of Qin Wangji's superb self-control.

After a while, Qin Wangji asked again: "Next spring, I want to send a large army to attack Chu, is it feasible?"

Attacking Chu State was a strategy Qin Wangji had already decided when he negotiated peace with Zhao State.

Now that it is impossible to stop the rise of Zhao, at least the re-emergence of Chu, a country that has a blood feud with Qin, must be curbed.

Qin Wangji's original plan was to send troops to conquer Chu State in the spring of next year, and regain the lost southeastern counties from the people of Chu State.

But after hearing such heavy casualties, Qin Wangji was not so confident all of a sudden.

Qin Wangji cast his eyes on Fan Sui, but there was no longer the trust in his eyes as before, but there was a bit of questioning and pressing in his eyes.

The failure of the Battle of Changping also represented the bankruptcy of Fan Sui's close attack plan.

It was precisely because of this that Qin Wangji ordered Fan Sui's fief to be cut in half a few days ago.

But this is just the beginning. If Fan Sui's performance in the future still can't satisfy Qin Wangqi, then Qin Wangji's punishment will not only be as simple as cutting off half of the land.

For this point, Fan Sui's heart can be said to be as sharp as a mirror.

So after hearing Qin Wangji's question, Fan Sui immediately answered: "My lord, most of the casualties in this battle are the children of Guanzhong and Hedong counties. If the king is willing to send troops from Ba and Shu, the battle against Chu in the next spring will be absolutely impossible." no problem."

After saying this, Fan Sui paused, and continued to speak: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu'an should be the general in this battle against Chu."

Chapter 193 Take Wu An Jun as the general? (third change)

As soon as Fan Sui said these words, the other people in the hall were shocked.
