Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

Yang Ming is very good at persuading people with reason, whether it is reason or other reasons, so in the end Li Mu surrendered, and Zhao Jun still had 80,000 to 90,000 capable soldiers, as well as more than 20,000 wounded. .

After accepting Li Mu's surrender, Yang Ming did not stay in Donghuan for too long to control Zhao's surrender. Instead, he directly asked him to stay where he was, and led tens of thousands of fine cavalry to the direction of Zhao's capital through the starry night. The infantry followed at a distance.

What Yang Ming wants to do is to go straight to the capital of Zhao and completely erase the country of Zhao from the map.

Along the way, the tens of thousands of elite cavalry under Yang Ming encountered almost no resistance, and they entered the Zhao capital as if they were in uninhabited territory. The forward troops could even see the tall towers of the Zhao capital.

At this time, after the Donghuan army was defeated by the Qin army, news that all of them had surrendered had also appeared in the Zhao Palace in the capital of Zhao.

Even if Yang Ming had destroyed Zhao's post system from Donghuan to Zhaodu as quickly as possible, there would still be other posts that could send the message back, but they would just take a longer detour.

Looking at the military report on the desk, Empress Dowager Zhao's still pretty face has lost its former grace. Even though it is covered with thick makeup, it is still difficult to hide her pale face and the panic in her eyes.

The most proficient Zhao side cavalry under Li Mu have been defeated, and hundreds of thousands of Qin troops will soon march south and approach the Zhao capital city. At this time, inside the Zhao capital, even including the palace guards, every family There are only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers at home. Can 20,000 to 30,000 people defend the capital of Zhao?

Especially when the Qin army approached the city, how many people still had the heart to defend the city. If they could not open the city gate, it would mean that the whole Zhao country was very loyal, but is that possible?

"Queen Mother." Looking at the pale Queen Mother Zhao, Guo Kai couldn't hide his surprise. At this time, his fear was deeper than that of the Queen Mother Zhao.

If the Queen Mother Zhao might be able to escape death because of her identity, then Guo Kai seems to have no chance of surviving no matter how he looks at it, because the general of the Qin army who will lead the troops to attack the Zhao capital is Yang Ming. It's his enemy.

Once Yang Ming led the army to break through the capital of Zhao, Guo Kai really couldn't think of a reason to live.

Who would have thought that back then it was just an ordinary incident of annihilation of a family, but it would eventually develop to the point where it is now, and that a terrifying existence that was about to attack and destroy the Zhao Kingdom would come out of that little Zhuangzi.

"Can we still stop it?" Queen Mother Zhao asked.

"Queen Mother, even Li Mu was defeated, we people..." Guo Kai was also speechless for a moment. He wanted to repel the Qin army more than anyone else, but is that possible? It is said that the forwards of the Qin army have entered the boundaries of Zhao's capital city. The invincible Qin army is about to come like a violent wind and destroy all obstacles in front of them.

"He was defeated. How could Li Mu be defeated? And he was defeated so quickly. Isn't he the god of military formations?" Empress Dowager Zhao could no longer suppress the fear in her heart. The fear was erupted in her own hysteria. .

"Yes, why was it so fast? An army of hundreds of thousands was defeated in less than a day." Women can be hysterical, but men, Guo Kai, even if the fear in his heart is deeper, he has to maintain his appearance. In terms of demeanor, he is indeed a villain, but he is also a successful villain. Only under his sanctimonious appearance can he have more and more dirty thoughts.

"Queen Mother, now is not the time to talk about this. We must actively prepare for war." Amidst the fear of Queen Mother Zhao and Guo Kai, Lord Chunping emphasized from the side.

"Prepare for war, prepare for war? How to prepare for war?" Queen Mother Zhao asked subconsciously.

"Queen Mother, after the defeat of Changping, the situation in Zhaodu was also in crisis. But in the end, didn't we defeat the Qin army? Now we only need to mobilize the people like we did back then and rely on the walls of Zhaodu to hold on for several months. It's not a problem , as long as we can hold it off, there will definitely be hope." Chunping Jun said.

Things are not that simple. After the defeat of Changping, the Qin State did not attack the capital of Zhao immediately after the victory because of the discord between the generals and the suspicion of the monarchs and ministers. Only then did the Zhao State have sufficient preparations. It took time to integrate the remaining forces and recruit foreign aid, and finally won the victory in the defense battle of Zhaodu, and was able to beat the Yan State violently.

But the situation facing Zhaodu at this time was completely different. After the Qin army won the victory in Donghuan, they rushed straight to Zhaodu without stopping. Zhaodu had no time to prepare for the war.

As for recreating the miracle of the Zhao Capital Defense War, unless Qin Wangzheng suddenly recalls Yang Ming, unless..., but those unlesss are simply impossible to happen.

Moreover, the countries of today are no longer the countries of the past. Who dares to offend Qin for the sake of Zhao. Compared with Chunping Jun's fighting spirit, Guo Kai only has despair.

Zhao Guo is hopeless. This is Guo Kai's clear understanding.

"This matter will be left to you, Chunping-kun. Chunping-kun, the safety of the Zhao capital and the life and death of the Zhao country will be left to you." Empress Dowager Zhao said as if she had grasped the last life-saving straw.

"Yes." Chunping-kun responded.

After receiving the authorization, Chunping Jun did not dare to delay for a moment. However, after returning to the palace, when Chunping Jun summoned several Zhao army generals and clan chiefs in the capital, the first one he called was the eldest son of the late King Zhao. , the former crown prince of Zhao Kingdom, now the young master Zhao Jia.

Chunping Jun's feelings for Zhao Jia are complicated. Zhao Jia is the son of King Zhao Yan who used conspiracy and tricks to seize the throne that belongs to him. He has every reason to hate Zhao Jia, but when Zhao Jia is also killed by his When his brother Zhao Qian seized the title of prince and now the throne, Lord Chunping inevitably felt sympathy for Zhao Jia again, but these are not important now, because the Zhao country is facing an existential threat.

If Zhao Guo is no longer here, then why should the past grudges still exist?

"The general was defeated, and he was defeated so quickly?" Zhao Jia, who had been squeezed out of the core power level of Zhao State, couldn't help but fall into shock when he heard Chunping-kun's story.

"Yes, it was defeated. It only took less than a day for the Qin army to defeat the general. That was the invincible Lord Wu An." Lord Chunping sighed, even Li Mu was defeated, and Zhao Guo has no one left. Hope, but everyone in the Zhao Kingdom can retreat or surrender, but he can't, because he is a member of the Zhao Kingdom's family and the face of the Zhao Kingdom.

If the death of the Zhao State is inevitable, then someone should use their own blood to let the world remember the existence of the Zhao State. Only in this way, the Zhao people will not be completely conquered. Only the Zhao people still remember that they are Zhao people, then the Zhao State will It is not considered a real subjugation of the country, but there may still be hope in the future.

And Lord Chunping wants to use his own blood to prevent the Zhao people from going to the Zhao Kingdom. The Zhao Kingdom must also have such a person, but this person cannot be the young master Zhao Jia.

"Zhao Jia, before the Qin army besieges the city, you should leave first." Chunping Jun said.

"Uncle is here, how can I leave when Zhao's life and death are at stake?" Zhao Jia said in disbelief. Is this what Chunping-kun should say now?

"Zhao State should be out of luck this time. Those who dare to resist cannot all die under the Qin army's front. Someone must be alive. Only alive can there be hope." Chunping Jun said.

"What about uncle?" Zhao Jia asked.

"The State of Zhao also needs someone to die. Only in this way will the State of Zhao not be forgotten." Chunping Jun said.

"Uncle, I can do the same." Zhao Jia said firmly.

"You can do it, I know it, but living is more important to you and to us." Chunpei-kun said.

"You leave quickly before the Qin army completely surrounds the capital of Zhao. I will announce to the outside world that you will go to Wei and Chu to ask for help. You are the hope of our Zhao country in the future." Chunping Jun said.

"Uncle, has the situation really collapsed to this point?" Zhao Jia asked holding the last bit of luck.

"It will only be worse. For a person like Mr. Wu An, I never thought that he would be defeated by someone on the battlefield, and he would be defeated in that way. In my understanding, on the battlefield, Mr. Wu An He is invincible, and someone can defeat him on the battlefield. In front of such a person, nothing is a chance." Chunpei-kun said.

Li Mu is not only the Lord Wu'an of Zhao State, but also the courage of Zhao State. But now, Zhao State's courage is gone.

Because of the gap in information transmission, the military report that the Qin army on the north route would fight Zhao army in Donghuan was not transmitted back to Xianyang until the Qin army was about to defend Zhao's capital.

"Decisive battle?" Qin Wangzheng looked at the military report written by Yang Ming himself, his eyes darkened slightly. This was somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Li Mu, even Qin Wangzheng had to face it. After all, the Qin army had been defeated by him several times, including his once most promising generals Huanjuan and Li Xin. Even this time, Yang Ming commanded the North Route Army, and he also Take advantage of military strength.

In the military reports sent back before, Qin Wangzheng originally thought that Yang Ming had chosen the safest strategy of 'consuming', and this strategy also coincided with Qin Wangzheng's idea. Qin's national power was far greater than that of Zhao. If the stalemate continues, only Zhao will be defeated in the end. This is the experience accumulated from several failures in the past.

But if it is a decisive battle, it will have to bear certain risks, and with the strength of the Qin State, it does not have to bear this wind direction.

However, in the military report sent now, Yang Ming chose to use the simplest and crudest way to launch a decisive battle against Zhao Jun. There was no more strategy, only to attack with force.

"It seems that the Captain of the Guard is still the Captain of the Guard. This is the real him. I thought before..." Qin Wangzheng sighed, the war has begun, and there is no need to think about anything else.

As Qin Wangzheng sighed, he saw Zhao Gao holding a scroll in his hand, but his gloomy character could not hide his excitement. This made Qin Wangzheng startled, and he immediately thought of a possibility.
