Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

As the warmth of the spring in the sixteenth year of the Qin Dynasty gradually dominated the land, within the territory of Qin, moving from south to north and from west, groups of soldiers had already walked out of their places of residence and gathered towards the county where they were located. Soldiers and horses from one county after another gathered towards the county seat.

In the sixteenth year of the Qin Dynasty, the State of Qin was about to destroy Zhao. In this war, nothing could stop the Qin army.

In the current era, most foreign troops will choose autumn, because the summer harvest has been completed before autumn, and a country has the most abundant grain and grass reserves. At the same time, the weather is neither cold nor hot, which is most suitable for large army operations.

But the Qin State is different. In the current world, the Qin State is probably the only one that can use troops on a large scale in the spring, because the Qin State's accumulation is so rich that it can support two to three hundred thousand young adults for a period of time. It is possible to break away from agricultural production and launch wars abroad with Qin's manpower and material resources, and it is not very difficult to do it.

When the armies of Qin State began to gather towards Jinyang in Taiyuan County, Yang Ming, who had long been designated as the commander of the North Army Corps, was called to Ganquan Palace by Queen Mother Zhao Ji.

"What do you mean by your Majesty this time, Zhao will definitely be destroyed?" Zhao Ji, who still spends most of her time dressing up every day, twirled her fingers and said in a different direction.

"There shouldn't be any accidents." Yang Ming confirmed.

"You said there will be no accidents, that means there will be no accidents. Let the Aijia think about it. In this matter, you can still do something to help the Aijia." Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"Is the Queen Mother talking about revenge?" Yang Ming said without any surprise.

Back then, Zhao Ji and the young Qin Wangzheng were living alone in the Kingdom of Zhao, but they were often bullied. Now they are about to attack the Kingdom of Zhao in one fell swoop. Naturally, those former enemies no longer have the need to live. She, Zhao Ji, has always been obsessed with it. Not very big.

Besides, is the matter of revenge a matter of small-mindedness? It is human nature to avenge oneself, but not to avenge one's enemies requires more reasons.

"Yes, the Ai family still remembers those people from back then." Zhao Ji raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice. She has never been good at hiding her thoughts, especially in front of Yang Ming, and there is no need to hide them. What, besides, what does Zhao Ji need to hide in front of Yang Ming? There is something about her that Yang Ming doesn't know.

"I'm afraid I won't be needed to help the Queen Mother to get revenge." Yang Ming, who was supposed to promise Zhao Ji, gave a reason that seemed to be a shirk.

"What? You don't want to. You are a man from the Ai family. If the men from the Ai family don't avenge the Ai family, who can help the Ai family?" Zhao Ji said angrily when she heard this.

"Queen Mother, don't forget that you not only have a man, but also a son." Faced with Zhao Ji's question, Yang Ming was exceptionally calm.

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Ji reacted instantly after hearing this.

"Yes, Queen Mother, if you want to take revenge, then do it openly and openly. If you kill the enemy secretly, wouldn't it be a little less happy?" Yang Ming said.

In the original history, after capturing Zhao State, Qin Wangzheng went to the capital of Zhao in person and killed all his enemies. This made the seemingly cold and rational Qin Wangzheng have other things in his body. , although the price is the lives of countless people, Yang Ming does not need to be responsible for today's cause and today's effect. What's more, even Yang Ming himself wants to take revenge, so there is no reason to blame others.

"It's the same truth. If you can't see those people die with your own eyes, it will be a little less happy." Zhao Ji said to herself, her thoughts had already gone to Zhao Capital, and she appeared in Zhao Capital again as a winner, and with Great Qin It is very touching to think about the identity of the Queen Mother and kill all the enemies of the past.

"So, what I can do is to defeat the Zhao army as soon as possible, capture the Kingdom of Zhao, so that the Queen Mother can go to the capital of Zhao as soon as possible, and let go of the injustice that has been felt for so many years." Yang Mingdao, holding Zhao Ji in his arms as he stretched his arms. middle.

"Screw you, you're teasing the Ai family again." Zhao Ji said as she grabbed Yang Ming's hand away.

He is obviously opposed to Yang Ming's behavior.

"This expedition will take at least half a year. Doesn't the Queen Mother not want to do it?" Yang Ming's hand was persistent. Yang Ming had always been very nostalgic for Zhao Ji.

"What do you think? Can you still stay in this Ganquan Palace to accompany the Ai family?" Zhao Ji said dissatisfiedly. The 'eldest nephew' who only belonged to her back then had already married and established a career, and the time that could be left to her was already over. Less and less.

Just when the two were about to say something, the maid's voice sounded from outside the hall.

"Queen Mother, the king is here, and the chariot has already entered the palace gate."

During the maid's report, Zhao Ji left Yang Ming's arms calmly. In this matter, Zhao Ji's psychological quality has always been very strong.

"Are you coming with me to see the king, or are you leaving first?" Zhao Ji asked Yang Ming.

"Forget it, I'd better leave first." Yang Ming thought for a moment and decided to leave. It didn't matter what Zhao Ji and Qin Wangzheng's mother and son had to say to each other, so it didn't matter if he stayed here.

"What? Are you scared?" Zhao Ji said jokingly.

"Yes, I'm very scared." Yang Ming, who knew what Zhao Ji was talking about, said in cooperation.

"Why are you so timid now? I have never seen you so timid before. Weren't you very wanton when you bullied the king's mother?" Faced with Yang Ming's surrender, Zhao Ji was aggressive and kicked her nose in the face. , Zhao Ji is also very good at it.

"The Queen Mother said so, do I really have to stay?" Yang Ming said helplessly.

"Leave quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble." Zhao Ji, who didn't care about Yang Ming's behavior but only cared about Yang Ming's attitude, had obviously gotten an answer that satisfied her at this time. She was no longer aggressive, but I started thinking about Yang Ming.

"If we leave, won't it mean that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?" Yang Ming, who was aroused by Zhao Ji, didn't want to leave.

"Okay, do whatever you want." Seeing that Yang Ming insisted on this, Zhao Ji said nothing more. Besides, she also hoped that Yang Ming could stand by her side at this time, although that didn't mean anything. .

Ganquan Palace is not small, but the size is constant after all, so Qin Wangzheng still appeared in the main hall very quickly.

Seeing Yang Ming, Qin Wangzheng didn't have much surprise. It seemed that he had already known about Yang Ming's coming to Ganquan Palace. After all, Qin Wangzheng had long known that Yang Ming belonged to Zhao Ji. It was never a secret to those who cared.

And the best way to hide another secret is often to hide it with another secret.

Qin Wangzheng, who thought he had already mastered the secret between Yang Ming and Zhao Ji, naturally had no other thoughts about the deeper secrets, so after meeting Yang Ming, his reaction was just ordinary, even from Zhao Ji's mouth When he heard that Yang Ming was asked to help him take revenge, he didn't look surprised.

I only heard Qin Wangzheng say: "This is a private feud between the widow and the queen. If we, mother and son, do it ourselves, there is no need to rely on the help of the guard captain. After the Zhao Kingdom is captured, the queen can go to the capital of Zhao with the widow. It’s time to settle what happened back then.”

"I just hope we don't have to wait too long." Zhao Ji said.

"How long do we have to wait? I'm afraid we still need to see whether the military commander can attack Zhao as soon as possible." Qin Wangzheng brought the topic to Yang Ming.

"Yang Ming, how many months will it take you to capture Zhao?" Zhao Ji said to Yang Ming in front of Qin Wangzheng without saying anything.

"It's hard to say. It still depends on how Zhao Guo will respond. If Zhao Guo continues to attack us as usual, we will be able to invade Zhao's capital before midsummer comes." Yang Ming replied.

"What if Zhao Jun just insists on defending?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

"Then find a way to force them to fight," Yang Ming said.

"How to force the Zhao army to fight a decisive battle with the army?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

"It varies from person to person, but it all depends on the person." Yang Ming replied.

"This is the truth." Qin Wangzheng nodded. For such a question, if Yang Ming was right, Qin Wangzheng would doubt its feasibility. On the contrary, it was just a concept, but it made Qin Wangzheng believe even more. The art of arithmetic can only be carried out on the basis of mastering certain information. No one can make something out of nothing.

"This time to destroy Zhao, in addition to the troops and horses from Hedong and other five counties commanded by General Wang Jian, and the troops from Taiyuan and Shangjun under the command of the guard captain, the internal history department will also allocate 150,000 troops to support the northern and southern fronts. "How do you think the 150,000 troops and horses should be distributed?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

Since Zhao was to be destroyed, of course he had to crush it with panic, so that those countries or people who wanted to take action would be afraid and would not dare to act rashly.

You know, this time the Qin State not only dispatched 350,000 troops to destroy Zhao, but also took action throughout the territory to intimidate Han Wei, win over the Qi State, isolate the Chu State, and completely cut off the possibility of the Zhao State. support.

It can be said that to destroy Zhao, the Qin State mobilized the whole country, but only had an army of 350,000 on the frontal battlefield.

"The northern route needs to cross the Taihang Mountains. The supply of baggage is a problem and is not suitable for large-scale legion operations. According to the minister's calculation, 150,000 is already the limit and no more can be exceeded. On the contrary, the southern route is backed by a big river and is located in a plain. The transportation is convenient, and there is no problem with the supply of baggage, which is enough to support larger-scale legion operations." Yang Mingdao.

Listening to Yang Ming's words, Qin Wangzheng was still a little surprised, but it also confirmed Yang Ming's public spirit in national affairs.

Zhao Ji looked at Qin Wangzheng and Yang Ming, who were discussing the life and death of a country, and her thoughts ran far away unknowingly: What is this?

In Zhao Ji's thoughts of running away, there was a strange and interesting look in her eyes.
