Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Just a few days after Zhao Dan in Handan City learned the news, Qin Wangji in Xianyang City also got the news of the war in the north of Zhao State.

At this very moment, Fan Sui was standing in front of Qin Wangji, and he read for Qin Wangji the news that Qin's secret agents had just found out from Zhao.

"Pang Nuan, Zhonglang General of Zhao's Northern Army, led an army of [-] to defeat the Huns' tens of thousands of cavalry outside Pingyin City. It is said that over [-] were beheaded. The Huns Xiuli Shanyu led the troops to flee outside the Great Wall. There is no suspense in this battle."

"Bang!" Qin Wangji slammed his hand heavily on the table, causing all the utensils on the table to jump up.

"Hughley, incompetent, extremely incompetent!"

Qin Wangji's roar resounded throughout the hall, the white hair on his temples trembled slightly with the roar, and the expression on his old face looked extremely ferocious.

Seeing this, all the important ministers of the State of Qin present were terrified, and immediately lowered their heads in unison, not even daring to take a breath, for fear that the anger of Qin Wangji would spread to them.

Qin Wangji did have reason to get angry.

You must know that in Qin Wangji's view, this time the Huns going south should be able to attract Zhao Guo's attention for at least a month or two, and it may even make Zhao Guo fall into war throughout the winter.

If this is the case, then Qin Wangji will have enough time to deal with Chu, so that the war against Chu will end quickly before Zhao even has time to react.

But the Huns were so vulnerable, it was far beyond Qin Wangji's expectation.

I think back then, the nomads in the north of the Zhou Dynasty were so powerful, and the best among them, Quanrong, was even able to break through the Haojing of the Zhou Dynasty, which directly led to the transition from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and opened the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

You are also a nomad, tell me why you, the Huns, are so weak and defeated by the Zhao people in the first battle?

Quanrong happened hundreds or even thousands of years ago. After so many years, why don't you, the Huns, grow up? ?

At this moment, the resentment towards the Xiongnu in Qin Wangji's heart was endless like a big river.

After half a day, King Ji of Qin broke free from his resentment towards the Huns, managed to calm down, and said to the ministers of Qin State in front of him, "What should we do now?"

These ministers of the Qin Kingdom looked at each other, and in the end, everyone's eyes focused on Fan Sui and Prince Zhao Zhu in unison.

Except for Fan Sui, everyone present had been in Qin State's political arena for at least ten years, and they could say they had a thorough understanding of Qin Wangji's psychology.

Such a king can take the opportunity to express his opinion when he is in a good mood. Even if the opinion is unreliable and does not suit Qin Wangji's wishes, Qin Wangji will not get angry. If the opinion is reliable, you can also get a generous reward.

However, if Qin Wangji was so furious and forced to stand out, it would be good to have a reliable idea, but if he was a little unreliable, his head might fall to the ground.

What made the ministers of the Qin State very painful was that since the failure of the Battle of Changping, the days when Qin Wangji was in a good mood were nothing compared to the days when he was in a bad mood.

If it is said that getting angry once will reduce the life span by three days, then the number of times Qin Wangji got angry since the Changping War is estimated to be enough to reduce the life span by one year.

Under such circumstances, as long as Qin Wangji gets angry, unless someone from Xiangbang Fan Sui or Prince Zhao Zhu jumps out to fight the thunder first, other Qin ministers will never speak.

Regarding this point, Fan Sui and Zhao Zhu certainly knew it clearly, after all, this was not the first time.

So as early as Qin Wangji was still immersed in the anger and couldn't extricate himself, Fan Sui and Zhao Zhu secretly exchanged a look with each other.

Fan Sui said nothing, but Zhao Zhu shook his head lightly.

So after Qin Wangji asked the question, Fan Sui stood up without hesitation, and said to Qin Wangji, "Your Majesty, don't panic. In my opinion, the situation has not yet reached an emergency."

Qin Wangji frowned when he heard this, and he was almost about to complain.

Not urgent?

Is this the case? Is there any hurry?

Zhao Guoren may send troops south anytime and anywhere now, but you tell the widow at this time that you are not in a hurry?

This is not urgent, so what is urgent, wait until Zhao Guoren goes south to cooperate with Chu State to surround Wang Lu's troops, then do you need to be anxious?

But Qin Wangji finally held back.

Ever since the defeat in the Battle of Changping, Qin Wangji no longer trusted Fan Sui as much as before.

If it wasn't for the fact that no one else could be found to replace Fan Sui, Qin Wangji's character might have already removed Fan Sui.

But precisely because of Fan Sui's current irreplaceability, Qin Wangji still wanted to use Fan Sui.

Since Fan Sui was going to be used, it was only natural to listen to Fan Sui's opinion.

Qin Wangji said: "What is Fan Jun's opinion?"

Fan Sui said respectfully: "In my opinion, Zhao Wangdan should not go south to aid Chu before the great changes in the battle against Chu."

"Oh?" Qin Wangji raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

Fan Sui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember that Qi army besieged Wei and rescued Zhao?"

Qin Wangji nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

Fan Sui said: "Your Majesty, if your expectations are correct, then Zhao Wangdan's current plan must be to encircle Qin and save Chu!"

"Encircle Qin and save Chu?" After hearing Fan Sui's words, not only Qin Wangji, but also other ministers of Qin State in the hall all showed thoughtful expressions.

Fan Sui has already talked about this point. If the people present can't think of the relationship between encircling Qin to save Chu and encircling Wei to save Zhao, this IQ will probably bid farewell to Qin's political arena.

Qin Wangji pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Fan Jun, could it be that Zhao Wangdan wanted to hurt both the widow and Chu State, and then sent troops to attack?"

"That's right." Fan Sui nodded and said, "Judging from the Battle of Changping, Zhao Dan was full of tricks, that's for sure."

As soon as the words "Battle of Changping" were mentioned, Qin Wangji's eyebrows flashed with evil spirit.

For Qin Wangji, the pain caused by the Battle of Changping was absolutely heart-wrenching.

Qin Wangji asked: "If so, according to Fan Jun's opinion, where should Zhao Guo attack?"

Since it was to encircle Qin and save Chu, Zhao Jun must have come to attack Qin instead of rescue Chu. There is no doubt about this.

Fan Sui seemed to be well prepared for this question, and replied almost without thinking: "The target of Zhao Guo must be Hedong County!"

"Hedong County?" Qin Wangji's eyebrows and facial muscles trembled even more when he heard this.

Hedong County has a dense population, high grain output, and high-quality soldiers, which perfectly meet the requirements of Qin's national policy of "farming and fighting".

It is no exaggeration to say that the importance of Hedong County in Qin Wangji's heart is second only to Qin's Guanzhong mainland, and it is juxtaposed with the Bashu Basin.

In addition, Hedong County has a very special meaning to Qin Wangji.

That was the first piece of territory seized from the hands of the six eastern countries after King Ji of Qin ruled Qin!

If the loss of Shangdang County and Southeast Two Counties was considered an accident, then Qin Wangji would never allow Hedong County to repeat the same mistakes as Southeast Two Counties!

Qin Wangji snorted heavily, and said with a vicious look on his face: "Hedong County must not fall into the hands of that little Zhao Dan! Fan Jun, let's talk about your countermeasures."
