The start time of Daqin is reversed by 30 seconds

Everyone looked at Yecheng on the sand table.

As long as it is stationed here, Pingyang can hardly move.

Wang Jian's army of [-] can contain Li Mu, so Li Mu will not have too many horses to move, because he must guard against Wang Jian's surprise attack at any time.

Everyone looked at each other and could only nod.

Just when Wang Jian and others were stationed in Yecheng, another shocking news came back. Zhao Guo once again dispatched [-] troops to the south and took down Wucheng, Feicheng and other important cities.

The entire Jinyang Basin, except for Jinyang, has been recovered by Li Mu!

Afterwards, Li Mu was jealous of Wang Jian, retreated to the Yi'an and Pingyang fronts, and confronted Wang Jian away.

Wang Jian attacked Pingyang several times, but Li Mu defended them perfectly.

Xianyang is thousands of miles away from Pingyang.

When Wang Jian and Li Mu confronted each other, the front battle report had already been sent back from all countries and the capital of Qin State.

Above the main hall of Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng waited bitterly for news from the front line.

The courtiers didn't pay much attention to the front line. After all, over the years, when Qin was defeated, the Five Kingdoms did not conquer Qin. What's more, this time, they faced a mere Zhao.

As usual, Ying Zheng asked about some government affairs as usual.

Chapter 516 Dongjun Lost Ten Cities!Ying Zheng was furious!

During the period, he glanced outside the palace from time to time, and suddenly, he shouted: "My lord, the battle report from the front line!"

Su Jie opened his eyes, his eyelids twitching.

Ying Zheng was also taken aback, isn't it good news?

Suddenly he stood up from the table in shock.

I saw a soldier with a frightened face, panting like a cow, still unable to hide his panic.

And the courtiers also became nervous from sleepy eyes.

Su Jie knew at the first sight that something might happen to the front line.

The visitor knelt down in grief, prostrated himself on the ground, and said, "My lord, Zhao general Li Mu took down Yi'an, Pingyang, and Chili with 20 elite soldiers, and then sent an additional 12 troops to capture Wucheng, Feicheng, etc. All the cities were taken, and our army suffered a disastrous defeat, [-] of Yi'an Chili's [-] army alone were killed, and now General Huanju has retreated to Quwo."

Ying Zheng thought he had heard wrong.

But Su Jie, a group of generals and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all stunned by the news that came back.

Ying Zheng was stunned, and said in a low and angry voice: "What did you say? Of the widow's 20 army, 8 were killed by Li Mu's 12 people? How is it possible? What did you do? Tell the widow, what about Huan Jue? Where is Wang Jian?"

Ying Zheng's voice was a little trembling, so that everyone in the hall did not dare to say a word.

12 people.

Some veterans of the clan heard the news and passed out immediately in the hall. Ying Zheng didn't care about it at all, but looked at the soldiers who came to summon him with fiery eyes.

Back then, Hu Tang only killed 10 people. When did the Qin State encounter such a big defeat, and when did it lose so many cities?

The messenger said: "General Wang Jian didn't arrive at all, Li Mu secretly sent troops to Pingyang, raided the city, and easily captured the city. Now, General Wang Jian has guarded Yecheng, facing Li Muhuan from afar. General Ji's [-] remnant troops in Quwo have lost all morale, suffered heavy casualties, and have no fighting spirit at all, so it is really difficult to counterattack."

Ying Zheng roared angrily: "This is not to tell the widow the reason for your defeat. The widow gave you 20 soldiers and horses, and sent an additional 30 troops, 12 troops. Even the [-] Zhao army can't resist. What's the use, how can I explain to the Qin people all over the world, how can I explain to their relatives about the [-] soldiers who died in battle? Tell me, how did you lose."

The soldiers presented the prepared bamboo slips with both hands.

Before Zhao Gao came down to fetch the bamboo slips.

Su Jie said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, this minister Jian will take a look first, and then tell everyone to listen."

The Guowei was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Qin State, and Huanjuan had made such a big mistake at this time, so he naturally wanted to be punished.

Su Jie unfolded it, carefully read it twice, and all the people in the court looked at Su Jie.

Su Jie said: "Your Majesty, this Li Mu personally led 3 Zhao troops. Taking advantage of the terrain advantage in the north of Yi'an, he formed an array of 12 people using the terrain to confuse the sight of Yi'an's [-] troops. Lightly armed infantry, with the secret help of South Korea, they smuggled to Lin'an and raided Pingyang. When General Huanju found out, he expected that Li Mu's northern army was insufficient, so he had to attack and destroy Li Mu before going to rescue Pingyang. In an ambush, Li Mu attacked our army with another [-] cavalry from the flank, leaving only a gap in the south, and deliberately let Huan Jue lead Chili's soldiers and horses to flee back to Quwo along the Fenshui River. During the ambush, our army suffered a total of casualties [-] people."

At this time, the officials understood.

Ying Zheng also stared and said: "South Korea? What a South Korea! What a Zhang Liang! I really shouldn't keep you! And this Li Mu, who is so brave, dared to surprise the rear of our army with [-] troops."

Only then did Su Jie say: "Your Majesty, for many years, our country of Qin has always conquered and won. In fact, I know that the soldiers in this army have already had the habit of underestimating the enemy. However, Li Mu is good at fighting, so he must have known about our army. The reason why we don’t pay attention to the flanks and rear is why we dared to surprise our army’s rear with [-] troops.”

Then Su Jie continued: "Li Mu's strategies are linked together. Once Pingyang is lost, our army will lose its vigor, and we will be ambushed by Li Mu. The army will be defeated like a mountain. At that time, it is natural to feel that there are enemies in all directions, and it is doomed to defeat the strong with the weak."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes in pain.

He turned around and murmured: "Unexpectedly, the elite teacher of my Qin country would be in the hands of the widow, and a total of 12 soldiers will be sacrificed. If the widow is not ashamed, I will be ashamed to face the world."

a time.

All the ministers knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, please send troops quickly to avenge our Qin soldiers!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were red and watery.

He thought of the 10,000+ soldiers who died on the front line, and the piles of bones, which made him terrified and furious. Looking at Ying Zheng's fists, Zhao Gao almost embedded his nails into the pillars.

At this moment, Ying Zheng suddenly remembered what Han Fei had said about internal and external reserves.

That is, the establishment of spell potential.

If this is not punished, there will be hundreds of thousands of arrogant soldiers in Qin State!

Ying Zheng turned around abruptly, with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Gao, pass the widow's order to Quwo, give Huan Yu the death, and bring his body back to Xianyang for a proper burial!"

Only then did everyone understand that it is impossible for the king to let such a serious crime go unpunished.

But the king also ordered people to be buried generously, which is enough to prove that the king is gracious in the law, and there is the law in the graciousness. For a while, no one dared to come forward to intercede.

Su Jie nodded secretly.

This is what Han Fei said about the magic power, and the way of winning the government will keep the king's authority. According to the Qin law, such a big defeat will not only result in death, but also take the family members into servants.

But Ying Zheng didn't do this, which is enough to show mercy outside the law.

At this moment, a person suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, don't do this, I have objections!" '

When everyone saw it, it turned out that it was Xiangbang Xiong Qi.

Everyone fell silent, Xiong Qi and Huan Jue had a very good personal relationship, not only that, they were also the parents of the second daughter.

Ying Zheng looked over and said, "Could it be that Xiangbang thinks that the widow did something wrong?"

Xiong Qi immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is often said that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. General Huanjue has made great military exploits for the Qin State. He attacked Zhao, Han, and Zhou for the first time. Today, Your Majesty beheaded him because of his defeat. , Isn’t it too ruthless? If you lose the soldiers in front and hear that the king is so unkind, who will try to kill the enemy? Who will attack the city for the king?”

After hearing this, Ying Zheng sneered in his heart.

For a moment, I felt that what Han Fei said was even more correct!

Responded loudly: "Xiangbang, since Huan Juan has military merits, I should reward him generously. If I receive a generous reward from my widow, I should be my predecessor. , I have pity on the lives of 12 soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty. The lives of [-] soldiers were tragically lost to the enemy. Wouldn’t it be a mistake to be a general? Attacks must be rewarded and offenses must be punished. This is the foundation of our Qin State. Xiangbang said this Because the widow has punished Huanju, the soldiers will not do their best. Is this a law, or a love story? Do the soldiers believe in the widow, or do they believe in Huanju?"

a time.

Xiong Qi was speechless.

Yingzheng issued a military order, and no one dared to intercede.

Immediately, Ying Zheng said: "Everyone, the battle ahead is a foregone conclusion. The plan for now is to discuss how to attack the State of Zhao. It is shameful. I will never let the 20 soldiers of the State of Qin die. To be fair, give me an explanation for the people of Qin Kingdom."

Immediately there was a discussion all over the court.

Xi Gong said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Zhao Jun's victory lies in surprise attacks, not our army's poor military preparations. Although Zhao Jun has won a new victory, it is not stable after all. If we take this opportunity to counterattack immediately, it will have a miraculous effect."

Xi Gong's reasoning made many people feel reasonable.

The Qin army was defeated, because they underestimated the enemy, but in terms of morale, only [-] soldiers and horses were demoralized, but if they mobilized Shangdang and Wang Jian's troops to attack, it would make the soldiers feel vengeful instead.

Meng Wu took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I think you should rest for a while before attacking!"

Ying Zheng looked over and asked, "Why does the general think so?"

"Nine Changes" and "Willing Danger" in Chapter 517 "Sun Wu's Art of War"

Meng Wu went on to say: "If you want to mobilize the troops from Shangdang and Guanzhong, it will take a lot of time. If that's the case, then it's better to prepare with peace of mind and make a long-term plan. Moreover, Li Mu has always been good at defense. Now, the morale of the Zhao army is extremely high." Sheng, if we build up barriers and stick to our defenses, our army may not be able to make great achievements in a short period of time. If the stalemate persists, we will continue to decline and become exhausted. Once Li Mu seizes the opportunity, we will definitely suffer heavy losses again."

Meng Wu said so.

Immediately, it made people feel terrified.

At this moment, finally, everyone turned their attention to Su Jie.

After all, Marquis Wu is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Now that Qin is defeated, how Marquis Wu makes a decision is very important.

Su Jie said: "Your Majesty, if you make such a decision, the people of Qin State and the country will be in danger in an instant. From my point of view, it is not the best policy to send troops immediately or to repair and attack! Both have advantages and disadvantages. , one is not very good, it can make the country unstable."

After hearing this, the officials were horrified.

Why is this?

Who said that Zhao Guo's battle was a great victory that can be counted in decades, but it would not be a crisis to Qin's society.

Ying Zheng was also stunned.

At this time, Liao also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Marquis Wu said is very true! Going out now is like putting the country in a game of gambling. I beg Your Majesty to discuss another countermeasure."

Liao's words made Su Jie nod his head.

Ying Zheng stared blankly and asked, "Why can't both be used? I would like to hear more about it!"

Su Jie looked at Liao like that, motioned for Liao to continue, then Liao walked into the hall and said: "Shicai, everyone's opinions are both harmful and beneficial. If our army counterattacks immediately, it will be beneficial." , is to be able to avenge shame, restore morale, and wipe out all countries in one fell swoop to rekindle the anti-Qin heart. However, the harm is that now our Qin army is newly defeated, and the army of Dongjun, the king of the Shangdang, has low morale and lacks the ability to defeat the enemy. Without rectification, neither the common people nor the soldiers will be able to fight. However, if General Wang Jian, whose morale is still alive, launches a counterattack, but his subordinates only have 10 people, and judging by the time, the current war must have spread to all countries. , General Wang Jian, as the only army in Dongjun that is good at fighting, must start guarding against movements from other countries."

Ying Zheng and the others raised their foreheads slightly.

I very much agree with what Liao said.

Liao continued: "Although it seems possible to mobilize the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to go to reinforce and retake the city, but the so-called battle of a hundred miles will be captured by the three armies, not to mention that the journey from Xianyang to Pingyang is nearly a thousand miles away. If the war is defeated, all countries will take the opportunity to besiege, and what will happen to the consequences.”

There was a burst of blood.

The cold sweat on Ying Zheng's forehead made up for it, and the officials in the court were all at a loss.

A battle of a hundred miles cannot be mobilized at will, let alone a battle of a thousand miles.

Yingzheng asked: "Teacher, if you attack after repairing, then what General Liao said doesn't exist, so why not?"

Only then did Su Jie say: "If the army is repaired and then counterattacked, the advantage is that everything will be restarted, and tactics will be deployed in the current situation. Naturally, our country of Qin will have enough time to gather enough troops, and the [-] remnants The confidence lost by the army will also be restored due to the temporary setback, and the will to revenge will be rekindled, so it is natural to fight."

Then Su Jie's face darkened, and he said slowly: "But if you talk about the harm, it is that you may have forgotten to consider the influence of Zhao Guo on the world today. From Zhao Jun's great victory to today, I am afraid that the war in Dongjun has already ended. It was reported back to other countries that he destroyed two fortresses and more than ten cities of our Qin State with [-] elite soldiers, is he telling the world that Qin State is not invincible?"

"Furthermore, after such a long time, although Qin's morale will recover, at the same time, Li Mu's wisdom will spread farther and farther. Because Li Mu broke Qin's undefeated record, it will definitely cause other countries to despise Qin. Guo, if at this time, Zhao Guo spreads across the world, and once again uses Zhao Guo as a covenant to besiege Qin, the consequences will be unimaginable."

After Yingzheng listened, he couldn't help but sweat down his spine. That is to say, both conclusions may cause Qin to be besieged.

At this time, let alone Ying Zheng.

Even the various dynasties and military forces can see this potentially huge crisis.

In other words, Yingzheng's choice now is like a big gamble. Either win, win to the end, or lose. The loser is not this battle, but will let the countries once again take advantage of Qin's defeat to fight Xianyang , This result is related to the lives of thousands of people in Dao Qin, and even the survival of Qin.

Ying Zheng suppressed his emotions and asked, "Teacher, given the current situation in Qin, can we find a way to solve it?"

This is what Yingzheng and Mantang civil and military are most concerned about.

Su Jie said: "My Qin's confidant's big trouble is one person, one country, that is, Li Mu and South Korea. If this one person, one country is removed, the danger of Dongjun will be relieved. Since other countries despise Qin, then Qin will destroy it. Guolai told them that I, Qin, can't deal with it if I want to deal with it!"

Ying Zheng looked into Su Jie's eyes and knew that the Taifu already had a countermeasure.

Immediately asked: "Dare to ask the Grand Tutor, how should I get rid of Li Mu, how should I destroy South Korea?"

The eyes of Xiong Qi, Wang Wan, Liao and others turned into sharp blades, and they all looked at Su Jie in black robe.

Ying Zheng couldn't look away at all.

The entire hall was silent, everyone held their breath, wondering how they could destroy Li Mu and Han Han, and survive such a huge crisis.

Su Jie walked into the hall and asked Ying Zheng, "My lord, do you still remember the 'nine changes' and 'general danger' in "Sun Wu's Art of War"?"

Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, Art of War?

In fact, not to mention Yingzheng, even the military generals of the Manchu Dynasty all started to recall the nine changes and general dangers in the art of war!

Yingzheng said: "Remember, it said that there will be five dangers: death, death, life, captivity, quick anger, insult, integrity, humiliation, love for the people, annoying, all these five Those who will pass it by, and the disaster of using troops..."
