Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

After several days of quarreling, Qin Wangzhu finally agreed to the plan, and unreservedly handed over the power to direct the entire war to Bai Qi's hands.

Qin Wangzhu tightly grasped Bai Qi's shoulders, his eyes were eager and his words were sincere: "Mr. Wu An, I don't need anyone to take responsibility, I only want to win, win!"

Bai Qi took a step back, just in time to let Qin Wangzhu's palm leave his shoulder, and then bent down to salute Qin Wangzhu very calmly.

"I assure you, Your Majesty will definitely see victory."

Chapter 545 Ambitious drama (first update)

East County of Zhao State, Pujin Ferry.

As the largest Yellow River ferry between Qin and Zhao, Pujin Ferry was completely closed due to the beginning of the war.

And after the Qin army arrived on the other side of Pujin Ferry in mighty force three days ago, the level of vigilance here has reached the highest level immediately.

Zhao Guobei Army Zhonglang General Ju Xin, who was in charge of sitting in the town and defending the entire Hedong County, had already led 5 people under his command to rush here, and sent a large number of spies in the upstream and downstream hundreds of miles to strictly prevent the Qin army from crossing the river.

In addition, Ju Xin immediately sent people to the two counties of Hetao in the north, so that Li Mu there immediately led the cavalry to the south of Guanzhong, in order to achieve the goal of containing the Qin people from the side and rear.

Ju Xin stood on the wharf of the ferry, facing the surging river, staring at the land of Guanzhong across the Yellow River, and the almost endless Qin army camp in his sight. .

Anxiety is inevitable. According to the previous intelligence, this time Qin has dispatched a total of 20 soldiers and horses.

Although it is said that Bai Qi suffered a defeat in the Battle of Changping, Ju Xin, who knows the inside story, knows very well that this failure is not so much Bai Qi's failure, but rather a chain of events caused by Qin's diplomatic failure. reaction.

Bai Qi is definitely a terrifying enemy that makes any opponent feel uneasy when facing him.

It's easier to explain if you look forward to it, this is Mr. Wu An on the opposite side!

Although it is said that Bai Qi is no longer the Wu Anjun who has the reputation of being invincible, as long as he can defeat Bai Qi's offensive, Ju Xin's contribution this time will definitely be stable and great.

To be honest, Ju Xin is actually somewhat dissatisfied with his current situation.

You must know that Ju Xin had served as Yaqing in Yan State before, and he belonged to the core leadership of Yan State.

But later, because of the new king's ascension to the throne, Ju Xin was abandoned by King Yan Wu Cheng, and was forced to go to the wild and live in seclusion in the country of Yan for more than ten years. Then, under the persuasion of his old friend Pang Nuan, he came to the country of Zhao and became the country of Zhao of a general.

From this point of view, Ju Xin feels that he is relatively inferior, and the majestic Yan Guoyaqing can only be a general?

But soon Juxin has adjusted his mentality. After all, he has been living in seclusion for more than ten years. It is impossible for King Zhao to give Juxin some important position as soon as he comes up. The general is not bad, let's take it slowly .

However, what Ju Xin didn't expect was that his general had been working for five years.

Although it is not that Ju Xin has not been promoted in the past five years, compared to the reality that Pang Nuan has now become one of the core leaders of Zhao Guo, Ju Xin is very concerned about his current official position as a general in the Northern Army. It is relatively dissatisfied.

What people are afraid of is comparison.Other people's children, other people's husbands, other people's fathers, in short, other people's things are very annoying things.

At this time, Ju Xin hated Pang Nuan from other people's family.

Compared with Pang Nuan, today's Juxin is really inferior in terms of official position, achievements and reputation.

This person is better than others, it really makes people mad.

So Ju Xin felt that he had to work hard.

If you are not satisfied with the status quo, then of course you can only rely on your own efforts to gain some bargaining chips for your promotion.

Of course, there are also ways to have more negative energy, that is to engage in some conspiracy and tricks to get Pang Nuan down, and then Ju Xin replaces it by himself.

But Juxin didn't bother to do that.

The talent in the old man's chest is not inferior to that of Pang Nuan, so why bother to do such stupid things!

From Ju Xin's point of view, the current battle to defend Hedong is an excellent opportunity to prove his talent.

The old general stood facing the wind, his face full of determination.

Bai Qi and Qin Jun must not be allowed to step into Hedong County!

At this moment, Ju Xin has far fewer troops than Bai Qi.

Bai Qi has 20 elite soldiers in his hands, but Ju Xin only has [-] troops consisting of [-] Zhao Kingdom Standing Army of Hedong County and [-] Hedong County soldiers.

So once Bai Qi is allowed to cross the Yellow River, with the [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, Ju Xin will never be able to compete with Bai Qi.

But Juxin is not without good news, that is, it is summer, and the people of Qin must use boats to cross the Yellow River to the east bank.

If it was winter, the Yellow River would freeze directly on the surface of the river. At that time, the people of Qin State could directly rely on their feet, or even ride horses and drag carts to launch attacks on Hedong County. That would be a real big trouble.

In order to deal with the big ships of the Qin army, Ju Xin had already started calling craftsmen to mobilize supplies and start making a large number of bed crossbows when he first arrived in Hedong County.

Things like bed crossbows may not be as effective as trebuchets when used to deal with thick city walls, but when facing wooden ship planks, bed crossbows, which are far more accurate than trebuchets, have become Zhao Jun's best weapon. Strong defensive weapon.

Earlier yesterday, Qin Jun had tentatively launched a river crossing operation.

And Ju Xin, who discovered this crossing operation, immediately mobilized hundreds of bed crossbows and launched an intensive attack on the Qin army's ships.

After leaving behind more than a dozen large ship fragments and the lives of thousands of Qin soldiers, the Qin army wisely gave up their plan to continue crossing the river. The remaining large ships turned around and turned back to the west bank.

After that, the people of Qin State seemed to be a lot more honest, which also made Ju Xin a little relieved.

For the current Juxin, what he does is actually very simple, that is to wait.

Now that the Qin people have officially sent troops, it is naturally impossible for Handan to turn a blind eye to this.

Reinforcements from Jinyang, Shangdang, Handan and other places will arrive one after another in as little as ten days or as long as half a month.

At that time, the number of soldiers and horses in Ju Xin's hands could reach or even exceed 20, and he was qualified to compete with Bai Qi in this battlefield.

Thinking about it, a strong fighting spirit slowly emerged from Ju Xin's old face.

Lord Wu'an, Lord Wu'an, everyone in the world says that you are the God of War of the Qin Kingdom, so let me see how you, the God of War of the Qin Kingdom, plan to break through my Yellow River defense line!

At this moment, a sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded, and Ju Xin turned his head subconsciously, and found a scout from Zhao Guo running at a high speed.

"General, it's not good, it's not good!"

Ju Xin frowned slightly. As a general, he actually didn't like to see his subordinates panicking.

"What happened? Could it be that the people of Qin are preparing to cross the river again?"

The scout with a dusty face nodded in panic, and said, "That's right! No, it's actually"

Speaking of this, Ju Xin couldn't bear it anymore, and interrupted the scout: "What is it, tell me quickly!"

The scout took a few deep breaths before speaking the final answer.

"General, the Qin people have already crossed the Yellow River!"
