Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Chapter 965: Wang Jian, the Irreplaceable Wang Jian (Third Change)

Xianyang Palace.

"This Wang Jian dared to openly disobey the order of the widow, and the widow wants to kill his head!" Qin Wangchu's roar echoed in the hall non-stop.

Qin Wangchu was very angry, but he still couldn't tell whether the consequences were serious or not.

Zhao Guo's war against Chu is now about to enter its third month, and spring is almost over.

In the past month, Qin Wang Chuke sent more than a dozen messengers towards the frontline Yuanli, urging Wang Jian to make a decision.

But Wang Jian was hesitant all the time. He neither chose to retreat nor to fight. This undoubtedly made Qin Wangchu very dissatisfied.

Because in the previous analysis, the old generals have pointed out very clearly that if you want a decisive battle, the sooner the better, because the sooner you fight, the higher the morale of the Qin army, and the possibility of victory Naturally, it will be bigger.

Under such circumstances, Qin Wangchu's resentment towards Wang Jian can be imagined.

Although it is said that the general will not accept the order of the king, but from the standpoint of the "jun" who has been disobeyed, the Qin Wangchu at this time is undoubtedly very embarrassing.

As a king, he couldn't even implement the orders he issued?Who is in charge of this country?

Countless terrifying thoughts kept going back and forth in Qin Wangchu's mind, which even made his face darken a lot.

After a while, King Chu of Qin said to the two important ministers of Qin State in front of him, Lu Buwei and Cai Ze, "I want to replace Wang Jian as the commander-in-chief and let the veteran Sima Xin replace him. I wonder what you two think?"

This is not a big court meeting, but a very secret core summit meeting, so only Lu Buwei and Cai Ze are present.

When Qin Wangchu said these words, the expressions of Cai Ze and Lu Buwei changed at the same time.

Cai Ze spoke almost subconsciously: "Your Majesty, although Wang Jian is young, he has a good command of the army. He has always won the hearts of the generals in the army. If he changes generals rashly, it may disturb the morale of the army. It is really not good. Sure."

"Isn't it right?" Lu Buwei sneered, and said, "This Wang Jian is so bold that he dares to openly disobey His Majesty's order, where is His majesty placed? Your Majesty, I think this Wang Jian must be taken down, and then he will be punished." Clan, use it as an example to others!"

Although it is said that Lu Buwei and Wang Jian once had a honeymoon period together when they put down the Yangquan Jun Michen rebellion, but this honeymoon period ended soon.

The main reason is that Wang Jian, as a member of the Wang clan, was influenced by the family every move he made, and the two bigwigs of the Wang clan at that time, Wang Lu and Wang Ling, did not buy Lu Buwei's account.

What's more, from the current point of view, Wang Jian, as the leading general of the Qin army, is No. 1 in Lu Buwei's must-kill list.

You can kill a general of the Qin army as long as you use your mouth. Is there anything easier in the world than this?

As soon as Cai Ze heard what Lu Buwei said, he became very angry, stared at Lu Buwei fiercely and said, "Wu Chengjun, don't you know what it means to put the overall situation first?"

Lu Buwei sneered back: "Mr. Gang Cheng, I only know one thing, that is, in the Great Qin, there can only be one voice, the King!"

"Enough!" Qin Wangchu stopped the quarrel between the two, and then announced the decision.

"The widow will send envoys to the front line of Yuanli City again. If Wang Jian makes a choice, that's all. If he still insists on disobedience, then the widow will have to replace a new frontline general!"

Yuanli, the camp of the Qin Army.

The sky is getting whiter.

Sitting in the big camp, Wang Jian looked quite calm, but if you observe carefully, you can find a trace of hidden worry deep in his eyes that cannot be dispelled at all.

After a night like yesterday, no one can act as if nothing happened.

Right in front of Wang Jian, Wei Liao reported the battle damage with some difficulty: "General, less than 5 defenders of the [-]-yuan city have been taken back to the camp, and the rest of the soldiers should be all."

Wei Liao did not continue, but both Wang Jian and Wei Liao understood that the more than 2 soldiers of the Qin Army had either become the souls of Zhao Jun's sword, or they were already in Zhao Jun's prisoner-of-war camp. Among them.

Wang Jian sighed lightly, and said, "Are there any losses in other troops?"

You must know that the Qin army in Yuanli City was not the only one who fought Zhao Jun last night.

In order to allow the Qin Army in Yuanli City to retreat smoothly, Wang Jian dispatched a large part of the Qin Army's camp, and fought a big melee with the Zhao Army.

Looking at Wei Liao's face, Wang Jian had a premonition that the number Wei Liao was about to say must be very difficult for him to accept.

Sure enough, Wei Liao said in a deep voice: "General, in the great battle last night, about [-] soldiers died or were captured in order to meet the friendly forces in Yuanli City."

As soon as Wei Liao said these words, Wang Jian's body trembled involuntarily.

Considering that Wang Jian has 25 people under his command, the 5000 people seem to be nothing.

But the problem is that if the loss of the Qin army in Yuanli City is added, then the Qin army under Wang Jian's command lost more than 3, nearly [-] soldiers in the past night!

For any commander, this is definitely a number that cannot be underestimated, and it is extremely painful.

Wang Jian let out a long sigh and remained silent.

Wei Liao stood there quietly, also not knowing what to say.

There was silence in the big tent.

After a long time, Wang Jian finally said slowly, "General Wei Liao, I have to admit that if I had used your proactive strategy in the beginning, maybe the current situation would have been better."

Wei Liao smiled wryly, and said: "It is also possible that we have already become the generals of the defeated army."

In fact, it's not that Wei Liao doesn't know the consequences of attacking with all his might, it's just that Wei Liao thinks that death and rebirth is the only way out.

Wang Jian looked at Wei Liao with piercing eyes, and said in a deep voice, "General Wei Liao, from your point of view, in the current situation, what choice does our army have?"

Wei Liao thought about it carefully, and then said: "General, I think the current situation is nothing more than a choice between decisive battle and retreat."

The so-called decisive battle, of course, refers to pulling out the 20 last Qin troops in the current camp, and fighting a real battle with the Zhao people. As long as they can win, all problems will be solved.

If it fails, then there is actually no need to worry about the next thing, because at that time the two people present may have already met underground.

As for the retreat, it is natural to find a way to retreat across the river according to Qin Wangchu's order, and then retreat to Xianyang City, relying on the high walls of Xianyang City to make the final stand and decisive battle.

After Wang Jian thought for a while, he vetoed one of the proposals: "General Wei Liao, it is impossible to retreat now. It is very difficult for a 20 army to cross the river. Occupying Yuanli City, our army's every move is completely under Zhao Jun's nose, and there is no way to hide our tracks. What's more, even if we cross the river, Pang Nuan's [-] cavalry may appear at any time Behind our army, cooperate with Li Mu's troops to attack our army. If you retreat, you will die!"

Wei Liao nodded silently, agreeing to Wang Jian's analysis.

In fact, Wei Liao thought so too.

"So" Wang Jian let out a long breath, and looked at Wei Liao in front of him with a strange expression on his face: "General Wei Liao, at this point, do you still want to find a way to fight Zhao Jun? "

Since it is impossible to retreat successfully, a decisive battle becomes the only option.

Wei Liao smiled, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and said: "General, although our army is at a disadvantage in all aspects at present, Zhao Jun is not necessarily invulnerable, is it? Besides, Zhao Jun is invading He is not a teacher of justice, and the old Qin people in our army are all fighting to defend their homes and the country, and their morale is far from comparable to that of the Zhao army. Therefore, even if there are fewer enemies and more enemies, our army is not necessarily The game is doomed!"

Wang Jian shook his head, and said slowly: "Although that's the case, you should know what will happen to us if we lose this battle, and what will happen to Daqin!"

Wang Jian's military ability is not inferior to Wei Liao's at all, and it can even be said to be better.

So, could it be that Wang Jian really couldn't figure out the reason for what Wei Liao had stated repeatedly?
