Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

A silence.

All the soldiers of the Zhao army looked at each other in disbelief, with disbelief in their eyes.

King Qin was actually captured alive by our soldiers of Great Zhao?

The next moment, the sky-shattering cheers broke out again, and this time the cheers were far more enthusiastic than the last time.

That is King Qin!Since the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei were divided into Jin and the seven heroes stood side by side, this is the first time that the monarch of Qin State has fallen into the hands of other countries.

Unknowingly, the many eyes looking at Zhao Kuo became more eager and worshipful.

Everyone knows that it was Wu Xinjun's personal soldiers Chi Youjun who did all this!In the cheers that shook the sky, Zhao Kuo said to Meng Ao lightly: "General Meng Ao, I admire your courage very much.

But I have to regret to tell you that you have no qualifications to negotiate with me any more. "

This sentence obviously hurt Meng Ao, making his face become a little distorted.

But soon Meng Ao returned to normal, and said very calmly: "Actually, I knew from the very beginning that I couldn't hide it from Mr. Wu Xin."

Zhao Kuo nodded, and said calmly: "Actually, you are going to die from the very beginning, because you feel that you are sorry for Wang He, you are also sorry for King Qin, and you are even more sorry for the thousands of people in Qin State, so you just want to die to get rid of it." .”

Meng Ao's face became paler, but he did not deny it.

Zhao Kuo looked at Meng Ao and said, "But don't forget, since you leave your fate to me to decide, then my decision cannot be the same as you think.

Come, invite General Meng Ao down! "

Several Zhao Jun stepped forward and took away Meng Ao and his chief guard who had not resisted at all.

Xu Li came up and said, "What should we do now?"

Zhao Kuo pondered for a while, then said: "Meng Ao is actually very smart."

Xu Li was a little puzzled: "He was captured voluntarily, can this be considered smart?"

Zhao Kuo sighed and said, "He handed over the military power to Wang Jian. This is a very bold decision, and it may have saved all the main forces of the Qin army."

Of course Zhao Kuo knew Wang Jian's name, but Zhao Kuo also knew that Wang Jian was just a rookie.

No one would hand over the lives of 10,000+ main forces of the Qin army to a rookie like Wang Jian, but Meng Ao did just that.

Zhao Kuo counted every step of Meng Ao in the whole war, but he missed this last step.

Now, Zhao Kuo has to face a question, where will Wang Jian go?

It only takes one day for the scouts to find out the whereabouts of Qin Jun.

But now that the Qin army has already left for a day, if Zhao Kuo waits another day, the two-day journey will completely prevent Zhao Kuo from catching up with the Qin army.

Judging from the current situation, there are actually two ways for the Qin army to retreat, one to the west and the other to the south.

If it goes to the west, it means that Qin Jun wants to take back Xianyang, and then rely on Xianyang to confront Zhao Jun.

After all, there are only [-] cavalrymen of Li Mu in Xianyang City, but there are hundreds of thousands of Qin people. With such a combination of inside and outside, it is not impossible for the Qin army to take back Xianyang in a short time.

The other is to retreat to the south, withdraw from Lantian and Lishan to the entrance on the north side of Ziwu Road, and then retreat to Hanzhong via Ziwu Road.

If Meng Ao led the army, Zhao Kuo concluded that Meng Ao would definitely choose to return to rescue Xianyang.

But the Wang Jian that Wang Jian and Zhao Kuo knew was Wang Jian who was in his 60s in history. The idea of ​​that Wang Jian is obviously completely different from the current Wang Jian who is in his 20s.

The most important thing is that although Zhao Kuo guessed the battle situation in Xianyang, it all depends on Meng Ao's acknowledgment.

What if Meng Ao was lying?

As the chief general of the Qin army, Meng Ao had sufficient motivation to lie.

Zhao Kuo pondered for a long time.

Finally, Zhao Kuo looked up: "Let's go to Xianyang."

Li Si asked, "What if Wang Jian didn't go to Xianyang?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "That means Wang Jian is indeed lucky."

Going to Xianyang is a safer way, because Xianyang not only has the countless wealth resources of the Qin State for many years, but also Li Mu, and the King of Qin is there.

As for Wang Jian and the main force of the 10,000+ Qin army under Wang Jian's command, it would be best if they could meet in Xianyang, and it doesn't matter if they don't.

After all, Zhao Kuo only had [-] county soldiers, and even if he could defeat Wang Jian, it would be a tragic victory.

The loss of Zhao State due to the defeat of Jidu has been heavy enough, and more losses may cause other countries to have dissatisfaction.

The next afternoon, Zhao Kuo, who was approaching Xianyang, got the exact news.

Xianyang was destroyed, King Qin was captured, prince Yingzi Chu escaped, and Wang Jian led his troops south to Ziwu Road.

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while, then smiled: "Wang Jian is interesting, very interesting."

Sure enough, Wang Jian is worthy of being the number one general of the Qin State who can help Qin Shihuang unify the world in history, and he is indeed smart enough.

Xu Li said softly: "Do you want to let the other side do it?"

Of course, what Xu Li was talking about was Lu Buwei and Mao Sui.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "It's okay.

Let's go, let's go to Xianyang to meet King Qin, he must have a lot to say to me. "

Although Wang Jian's troops escaped alive, this does not mean that Qin's failure is over.

King Qin is still in the hands of Li Mu, which means that Qin State is destined to be brutally slaughtered by Zhao State.

In view of the fact that Wang Jian escaped, Zhao Kuo had already made a decision at this moment that the knife must be ruthless, and the killing must be so painful that the Qin people will never forget it.

Chapter 471 Lin Xiangru Was Slapped in the Face So Quickly

Handan, the palace city of Zhao State.

Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen walked side by side along the steps of the palace.

Lin Xiangru said lightly, "Is there any new news from Mr. Wu Xin?"

Zhou Shaofen said softly: "I heard that a courier has just sent an urgent report into Miyagi, and there are still two groups of couriers.

The Empress Dowager suddenly summoned us to discuss, probably related to this matter. "

"Two messengers?"

Lin Xiangru was obviously puzzled, and said, "Why are there two dials?"

Zhou Shaofen shook his head and said, "I don't know too well, maybe it's because of two big battles in succession?"

Lin Xiangru was silent for a while, then said: "If this is the case, Lord Wu Xin may have already failed."

Zhou Shaofen was taken aback, and said, "Why did Xinjun say that?"

Lin Xiangru said indifferently: "The old man Wu Xinjun is very clear about how to use troops. He always pays attention to the fact that one blow must win. If Wu Xinjun wins, there will be no two groups of messengers."

Zhou Shaofen's face became more and more ugly, and he said: "If Lord Wu Xin is defeated, then wouldn't Great Zhao have no soldiers at all?"

Lin Xiangru paused for a few seconds before saying, "I'm afraid this is today's topic."

After a while, several important ministers of Zhao Guo gathered in the hall, waiting for the Empress Dowager to appear.

Lin Xiangru glanced at Mr. Pingyuan, and found that Mr. Pingyuan didn't have any worried expression on his face, and there was even a hint of joy on his face.

The corner of Lin Xiangru's mouth twitched slightly. He knew that Mr. Pingyuan's concubine had given birth to a son in the past two days, which should be the source of Mr. Pingyuan's happiness.

But, after hearing the news about Mr. Wu Xin, will Mr. Pingyuan still be happy?

There was a sound of light footsteps, and the Queen Mother appeared.

Everyone got up and saluted, and then sat down again.

The queen mother's face was calm, but there was a certain light in her eyes.

In Lin Xiangru's view, this was obviously a manifestation of the queen mother suppressing her anger.

The queen mother said indifferently: "I just received two urgent battle reports from the direction of Qin, eunuch decree, please come and read it to everyone."

The eunuch Ling stepped forward, took the battle report and read: "My minister Zhou Shaoliang, governor of Hedong County, reported to the Queen Mother that Li Mu had conquered Gaoling City of the Qin Army a few days ago and completely burned it down like Jingyang City.

The king of Qin was greatly shocked, and he had already mobilized [-] soldiers and horses who had besieged Zhiyi to return to Guanzhong. "

After Zhiyi was surrounded and communication was completely cut off, Zhao Kuo was naturally unable to make any more memorials, and this task fell on Zhou Shaoliang, the governor of Hedong County, who was in Anyi City, the governor of Hedong County.

This news obviously shocked Lin Xiangru, with a rather surprised expression on his face.

I thought it was the battle report of Zhao Kuo's failure, but I didn't expect the Qin army to withdraw?

Mr. Pingyuan immediately became happy when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Since the Qin army has retreated, the pressure on Mr. Wu Xinjun on the Zhiyi battlefield will be relieved a lot. It seems that this battle is really within Mr. Wu Xinjun's expectation. middle."

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath, and said lightly, "I don't think so."

Mr. Pingyuan frowned and looked at Lin Xiangru: "What do you mean by Mr. Xin?"

Lin Xiangru said calmly: "Although 3 people have been dispatched, the main force of the Qin army is still there, and the situation where Lord Wu Xin is surrounded is still there.

As long as time goes by, Zhiyi City will still be captured.

On the other hand, the Qin people, after they had [-] more troops in Guanzhong, they could kill Li Mu more conveniently. If Li Mu could not withdraw in time, Wu Xinjun's Chi You army might be completely buried in Guanzhong. "

Mr. Pingyuan was a little annoyed by Lin Xiangru, and said angrily: "Impossible! Mr. Wu Xin's exhaustive tactics on the battlefield are well known. Li Mu will definitely be able to disturb Qin's Guanzhong. Retreat."

After Mr. Pingyuan finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Lin Xiangru laughed and said, "Really?

If Mr. Wu Xin led the troops to Guanzhong, perhaps the kind of thing you mentioned, Mr. Pingyuan, would indeed happen.

But now Wu Xinjun is in Zhiyi, Li Mu?

The old man said before that he can't do it, but now the old man still says that he really can't! "

Mr. Pingyuan was still waiting to quarrel, but the Queen Mother had lost her interest, coughed and said, "Okay, don't quarrel.

In fact, the question you are arguing about has already been answered in the second battle report.

Eunuch Ling, please read the second battle report. "

Both parties were taken aback, and looked at eunuch Ling.

Eunuch Ling stepped forward and continued to read the second battle report.

"My minister Zhao Kuo reported to the Queen Mother that the main force of the Qin army in Zhiyi has retreated across the board, which should be due to Li Mu's contribution.

The minister has already led the army to pursue, and will surely break into Guanzhong and win back a brilliant victory for Da Zhao! "

The eunuch's order's voice echoed in the hall, immediately giving Lord Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru a feeling of "two heavens of ice and fire".

Mr. Pingyuan couldn't help laughing loudly: "Mr. Xin, what do you say now?"

Lin Xiangru's face turned blue and white, which was extremely ugly.

This veteran Zhao Guo never expected that this slap in the face would come so quickly!Li Mu, a mere retainer of Wu Xinjun, is so strong?

The Qin State retreated and Guanzhong was burned. Wu Xinjun's contribution is already a certainty.

On the other hand, Lian Po suffered a huge defeat in Jidu, it was like a day and a day.

No, something must be done.

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath, the thoughts in his mind flashed quickly, and within a few seconds he thought of how he should fight back.

Lin Xiangru said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, it is gratifying for the Qin army to retreat, but what must be seen is that the main force of the Qin army has not suffered much damage. Wu Xinjun's current strength is obviously at a disadvantage, but he hastily pursued him. If you return the carbine, I'm afraid there will be big trouble!"

Mr. Pingyuan already had confidence in his heart at this moment, and sneered: "Xinjun, Xinjun, Wu Xinjun knows too much about things on the battlefield than you, you don't really think that you can't consider Wu Xinjun if you can think about it, do you?" ?

Just sit here with peace of mind and continue to wait for Wu Xinjun's next victory news! "

Lin Xiangru snorted, and said: "The so-called bystanders are obsessed with the authorities, what the old man can see, who can guarantee that Wu Xinjun will be able to see it?

What's more, the record will always only represent the past.

Didn't Bai Qi, Wu'an Jun of Qin State, win every battle back then, what about now?

Never underestimate your opponent, this is the essential quality of a good general. "

Mr. Pingyuan patted his thigh, and said: "Okay, I didn't expect that you have led the army a few times, Mr. Xin, so what you said is a set routine, and it is a bit like talking about soldiers on paper."

The Empress Dowager knocked on the table and asked the two to stop their quarrel temporarily, saying: "Okay, Mr. Xin's worries are not without reason, let someone send a letter to Mr. Wu Xinjun immediately, and let him be more careful."

Although the topic came to an end, Lin Xiangru did not stop there, because he felt that he could go further.

So Lin Xiangru said: "Queen Mother, since the Qin army has withdrawn its troops, the old minister feels that it is time to negotiate a peace with Qin and ask Wu Xinjun to withdraw his troops as well."
