empress and princess

If you have the guts to pick things up but don't have the ability to bear the consequences, how can you still have the face to ask for peace?

Qin Tangjing pulled the urgent report from Li Shiqin's hand without looking at it, tore it up and threw it away, hooked his head and sneered, "The lonely king didn't want to retreat, but wanted to see how strong the Zhao country under his Zhao Sui was. "

At this time, the morning sun was hanging high, and a ray of sunlight fell into Qin Tangjing's eyes, staining it with a bit of hostility.Broken newspapers flew across her fingertips, and Qin Tangjing pinched her fingers together and crushed them into pieces.

Everyone understood what he meant, Li Shiqin held his breath and stomped on the broken Zhao Guojibao on the ground a few times.

"This coward! There is no way to decide the outcome. After seeing his defeat, I dare to be rampant!"

"General Lee."

"Chen is here!"

"Order the three armies to be ready to go, and fight another battle with the lonely king."

Qin Tangjing moved her toes, and pressed a piece of the sole of her shoe into the mud.

Li Shiqin's blood boiled from anger to now, "Observe the order! Your Majesty is wise!"

Chu Huaimin was silent, and Li Shizhou just rolled up his sleeves.

Zhao Guo was defeated in that battle yesterday, and he had no power to fight back in the pass. If he pursued closely, he would surely get twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, everyone had no objection to Qin Tangjing's subsequent order to rectify the three armies.

Li's siblings were ordered to go back to Zhao Wang and the other to the military camp to pass the decree, and there were two remaining.

Chu Huaimin was still dressed in her white clothes, the only difference was that she had changed her hair into a bun tied behind her ears, and a strand of black hair hung down on each side of her smooth forehead, half covering the scarlet scar on her left eyebrow.

There is no fear of anything in his mouth, and he has a wound on his face, but he really cares.

"Give it back to me." After a while, Qin Tangjing stepped forward and stretched out her hand, she said, her voice slowed down.

Chu Huaimin was puzzled: "What?"

"Handkerchief, I gave it to you yesterday."

"..."

Chu Huaimin was speechless, very surprised that Qin Tangjing came to ask for her handkerchief.But the man asked for it himself, and she had to give it, so Chu Huaimin had to take it out of his sleeve and return it to her.

The same light blue handkerchief, the same silk stitch pattern.

It's just that Qin Tangjing didn't recognize it, Chu Huaimin's piece was stained with blood and couldn't be washed clean, so she returned the same piece.

"If you give it to me, it's mine." Qin Tangjing stuffed it back into his sleeve, his tone always domineering.

Looking at Chu Huaimin's brows and eyes, when she turned around and entered the military tent, she finally threw another sentence at Chu Huaimin: "You don't need to cover up your wounds, there is no woman in the world as handsome as you!"

The eldest princess not only has her unparalleled beauty, but also has a well-deserved reputation for being both talented and talented, so Qin Tangjing finally decided to adopt Chu Huaimin's fire attack.For the next three days, everyone gathered day and night to discuss the military account, discussing how to break through Zhao's first line of defense, Hanyu Pass, while starting the attack.

Because of the special geographical situation of Hanyuguan, and the wind blowing eastward recently, it is going in the direction of Hanyuguan!

During this period, Zhao Wang sent people to ask for peace several times, but Qin Tangjing ignored them all.She conspired on how to plot against King Zhao, and King Zhao would not sit still if he did not get a response from King Qin.

But before he could think of a way, the army of Qin State was already ready to go, and it would not take ten days for soldiers to approach the city.

……

Han Yuguan, Zhao Sui stared closely at the billowing wind and dust in the distance, the opponent's golden and iron horse was majestic, while many soldiers around him shrank their heads and shivered when they saw such a battle.

"Damn Qin Tangjing." Zhao Sui gritted his teeth. He fell into the trap of Qin Tangjing's aggressive tactics, which almost wiped out the [-] army, resulting in low morale and no determination to resist the counterattack.

There are many elite soldiers in the city, but without morale, what is the use of having more people, and it is not uncommon for them to throw away their helmets and armor after a few moves in battle!

Someone next to him shouted: "My lord, the enemy is coming, please prepare to defend the city as soon as possible."

"Qin Tangjing came prepared, how can tens of thousands of soldiers and horses hold it? How long will it last?" Zhao Sui still had some brains, turned his head and yelled at him, "Why haven't the reinforcements I asked for?!"

"The journey is long, and it will take at least five days for the reinforcements to rush in."

"Five days? Do you think the widow didn't die fast enough?"

Zhao Sui was so angry that he kicked the wall, "Go, and send an urgent report to the king of Qin to withdraw troops!"

The two armies did not fight each other, and the urgent report was presented to the King of Qin without any hindrance.

She didn't look at it, and threw it on the battlefield, letting Wanma be trampled into ashes.

Zhao Sui failed to stop Qin Tangjing's decisive battle. Qin's 5 troops finally approached the outside of the city.Standing on the city wall, he was dizzy for a while, and almost lost his footing and fell to the corner of the city.

Blame him for being careless!It's also his fault for underestimating Qin, where a woman can be king!

For hundreds of years in the world, no woman has ever been so presumptuous, so unique, and so defiant!

The enemy is waiting in full force, and the leader is holding a silver spear and wearing Ling Han's armor. It is the King of Qin who makes his teeth ache from hatred... This battle is inevitable, Zhao Sui kicked the forward general Tian, ​​​​with a kick ordered:

"It's still a matter of guarding the letter, even if there is only one person left, let the widow guard it!"

"Yes!"

The number of soldiers and horses on both sides is equal, but defending the city is much easier than attacking the city. Although the Qin army swept in like a tide, hundreds of arrows fired at the city wall and boulders rolled down, and various defensive weapons forced the Qin army to stop at the foot of the city. Bobo surged forward wave after wave and was repulsed by Zhao Bing. After two hours of uninterrupted attack, Zhao Bing was gradually tired of coping, but he was still able to defend.

Although the hard attack was not beneficial to the Qin army, the Qin army was like a tiger and wolf, and it also beat Zhao Jun to the point of crying.

Seeing the sunset, King Qin, who was always paying attention to the battle situation, waved his silver spear and said, "Ming Jin withdraws troops."

Hearing the sound of the drums, the army retreated quickly, and the guards of Hanyu Passed away, running around telling each other that they had won the first battle, and couldn't help cheering with snot and tears.

"Retreat, retreat! The enemy retreats!"

Zhao Wang, who was clutching his sword desperately, heard someone shouting, his body was completely limp and disfigured, and he sat on the ground with a bean-like cold sweat sliding down his cheeks. It took him a long time to open his mouth before murmuring: "Finally back."

If he doesn't retreat, he will have to go to the battlefield in person!

After the battle and baptism, the bloody smell in the air was still strong and pungent until the night. The city outside the city was as quiet as death, and a lone crow occasionally flew over the sky to break the night.

There was no wind during the day, but at night the wind picked up slowly, blowing harder and harder, and the flags on the city wall were blown loudly.

"The people of Qin are extremely cunning, everyone, stay vigilant and don't close your eyes! When we defeat the people of Qin and make a triumphant return, we will be rich and prosperous!" It was late at night when the battle was exhausting, and the guards began to feel sleepy.The general patrolled and yelled loudly, and when he encountered a drowsy pot of cold water, he immediately poured it to wake him up.

The cold water in the early winter was bitterly cold, and the battle robes were already thin, but they shivered from the cold. The generals were so indifferent and inhumane, and the guards dared not speak out and were full of resentment.

The general was just following orders, but unexpectedly a pot of cold water provoked the thorn head, the thorn head was strong and strong, and he was unhappy when he lost the battle with King Zhao a few days ago, but now the cold water has completely exploded, leading several people to fight the general stand up.

"It's reversed! Come on, give this general..."

With one punch, he stopped talking.

Seeing that the thorn head was not weak in martial arts, everyone retreated to the side.

Taking advantage of the chaos, several night walkers quietly touched the city wall, appearing and disappearing like ghosts, scattered in every corner of the city wall.

The incident happened suddenly, and half an hour had passed since the disturbance was quelled, so there were too many things that could be done in this gap.The night walkers gathered quietly and then retreated. One of them left behind to deal with the aftermath, and was discovered when she climbed the city wall.

The guard shouted: "Stop, who are you?"

She turned her head, covered her face with a black cloth, and saw a red mark on the brow of the visitor.

Without waiting for the guards to question again, he jumped off the city wall, bluffing the guards for a moment, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Be alert, there are assassins! Alert!"

Before he finished speaking, a burst of flames shot up all over his body, and his screams were instantly swallowed by the flames.

"Get out of the water! Come and put out the fire!" Someone shouted in panic, but it was too late to extinguish the fire. The overwhelming fire spread rapidly, and was even sent to the city with the help of the east wind. The entire city wall was buried in flames within half a cup of tea.

"kill!!"

Shouts were deafening in the night.

The Qin army, which had been ambushing outside the city for a long time, made a comeback and rushed to Shanghanyuguan. At this time, Zhao Guo's defenders were busy fighting the fire.

The strong wind blew like gouging out flesh, and the fire was raging wave after wave.

Zhao Jun had no choice but to be flanked by two sides. Before fighting with Qin Bing, more than half of them were killed or injured. Finally, some people couldn't resist turning around and running away.

The city of Hanyu Pass, known as Zhao's first defense gate, was broken, and the Qin army entered in one fell swoop.

"The Emperor's Order: Capture the King of Zhao alive, and bestow ten thousand gold as Marquis of ten thousand households!" The messenger galloped into the vanguard, holding the Qin flag high, and his voice broke the sky.

So - Zhao Sui fled again.

Victory and defeat!

When dawn breaks, the first ray of sunlight shines through the sky full of gunpowder smoke and falls on the broken eaves and broken walls.

In the king's tent, King Qin, who was brave and brave outside fighting the enemy without hesitation, was lying limply on the bed and clutching the quilt tightly. The old wound on his back was not healed and he was stabbed again.

The voice on the back is soft: "Be patient."

Qin Tangjing stretched out her hand, pulled a slender hand, put it on her lips and bit it, her pain was largely transferred to the owner of the hand, and the large and small wounds all over her body seemed to really not hurt so much.

"You are the king, and you should leave the charge to the soldiers. You should save your life."

After being bitten for a while, Chu Huaimin opened his mouth, his expression still calm.

Qin Tangjing finally let go, and buried his sweaty face into the soft pillow, "Because the lonely king is the king, he should lead the army all the more."

"Not afraid..." Chu Huaimin hesitated to speak.

"What are you afraid of?" Qin Tangjing raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, "Death is a worthy death, and death has to be supported by a few good backs. The lonely king is not alone on the road to Huangquan."

"But you are the monarch of Great Qin."

"Yes, the lonely king is a monarch, but apart from being a monarch, what is the difference between a royal conquest and a soldier?"

This sentence made Chu Huaimin silent.

"If the lonely king is like Zhao Sui, how can there be a strong army in the Qin Dynasty? They are all people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Who dares to compete with the lonely king? My Great Qin uses martial arts to rule the country. I regard death as my home and never fear anything."

I dare not forget the famous words that the little emperor uncle taught her since she was a child!

Qin Tangjing laughed suddenly, his whole body was hurt by the smile, the corners of his lips froze, and he couldn't laugh anymore.

Chu Huaimin's heart suddenly sank.

It was not easy to finish the medicine, and replaced several large pots of blood, and the pillows were already wet with sweat.

Qin Tangjing gasped for breath on her stomach for a while, and tried to move her arms reluctantly, but found that she was not so weak that she couldn't get out of bed, so she rolled up her clothes on her back to wrap herself around her body, and slowly sat up from the bed and looked sideways at her.

"You have contributed the most to this battle, and the lonely king rewards you for your merits. What do you want?"

Chu Huaimin was not surprised by favor or humiliation, and said calmly: "Will the King of Qin give you whatever my ministers want?"

"As long as the lonely king can do it, just mention it."

"Okay." Chu Huaimin responded, and silently wiped away the remaining smear of red on his fingertips on his sleeve, saying word by word: "I want King Qin's life to be safe, can King Qin do it?"

Qin Tangjing was startled when he heard the words.

"Jinkouyuyuyan, once you say it, you can't go back on it. King Qin, don't forget it in the future."

After saying this, Chu Huaimin left the king's tent with blood on his hands.

Qin Tang didn't remember it for a long time. When Li Shizhou opened the tent and came in, he saw King Qin sitting motionless like a foolish clay figurine. She smiled and said, "What is Your Majesty thinking, so preoccupied?"

Qin Tangjing coughed, "It's nothing."

Li Shizhou smiled, asked her how she was injured, and said: "King Zhao has not been found in the city, and I have already sent people to chase her."

"Heh." Qin Tangjing couldn't help but sneer, "This fellow escaped very quickly."

"If you don't escape, you will die. There is nothing wrong with that. Even if you escape, you will not be able to escape from the palm of your Majesty." Li Shizhou helped her to the ground, "Your Majesty is injured, be careful."

"The lonely king is fine. Is there any movement from the king of Chu?"

"Not yet." Li Shizhou said softly, "It's strange to say that the king of Chu can endure it."

A cold light flashed across Qin Tangjing's eyes, and he said with a half-smile, "The king of Chu is stupid, without Chu Huaimin, he wouldn't be able to make such a big wave."

Li Shizhou just smiled and said nothing.

"Female minister, if you say to destroy the Zhao country, will the other five countries attack the lonely kings?"

"meeting."

"..."

There are seven kingdoms in the world, and if one country is destroyed, the others will be afraid of Qin, and it is very likely that they will join forces to fight against Qin. Although he already knows that this is the worst outcome, Li Shizhou is outspoken, and Qin Tangjing is speechless with a single word.

Afterwards, the monarchs and ministers had a long talk, and Qin Tangjing's depression was quickly relieved.

It's not an exaggeration to be called the world's number one counselor!

"Li Xiang, what's the matter?" Seeing Li Shizhou stepping out of the king's tent, Han Wenxiu hurried forward.

Li Shizhou looked up at the Xinchen sky, gave him a pitiful look, and shook his head: "At the moment, it is important to attack Zhao, so don't pour fire on the king's head and disturb her mind."

"But the end..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as General Han continues to make meritorious deeds in the future, and the merits and demerits are offset, the king will not pursue it."

Han Wenxiu clasped his hands and said solemnly, "Yes, the final general will definitely take the crime and make meritorious deeds."

In winter, the battle ahead is even more intense.

With so many capable helpers around the King of Qin, it is difficult not to win the battle.After capturing Hanyuguan, the Qin army continued to advance for a whole day, winning repeated battles, attacking the city like a broken bamboo all the way.

Go straight to Handan, the capital of the kingdom!

Zhao Sui didn't give up, thinking that he could resist the army led by Qin Tangjing. After being attacked, he retreated from one city to another, and organized the city guards to resist Qin Tangjing, but things didn't go as planned.

Every time he captured a city, Zhao Sui fled, and fled so fast that Qin Tangjing couldn't catch him every time.

It was a long distance from Fenggu City in Qin State to Handan in Zhao State. The battle line had to be stretched, and the logistics supply could not keep up with the speed of the siege.

Must be quick.

……

Half a month later, Qin Tangjing led an army to attack the hinterland - Yancheng.

Yancheng is Handan's sword and shield. As long as this city is broken, Handan will be exposed, and there will be no obstacles!However, Yancheng, as an important place for military strategists, naturally has enough troops, so that after several days of grinding, Yancheng could not be taken down.

Seeing that the country of Zhao is about to be destroyed, it is impossible to advance!

In front, Li Shiqin rode his horse and killed the gun and turned around, with a dignified voice: "My lord, there are too many casualties, it is not appropriate to attack again!"

Qin Tangjing gritted his teeth, "Withdraw."

The opponent's leadership was so strong that it defeated the invincible Qin army.

Because they didn't know what was going on in Yancheng, and the generals who defended the city didn't know much about their temperament, this battle was very difficult.At first, everyone guessed that Prime Minister Zhao Guo came to defend the city, but after a few fights, the female minister denied it.

After the siege failed again, Qin Tangjing held the reins tightly on his horse from a short distance away, staring at the flag of Yancheng, and said coldly, "Who is guarding the city?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The city guards had some skills, but the scouts who went to investigate couldn't find out.

After a long silence, Chu Huaimin raised his eyes and said slowly, "I know, she is on the city wall."

Everyone was shocked.

Qin Tangjing looked up, and a familiar face came into her sight, Qin Tangjing immediately frowned.

It was her!

The "she" in this mouth is standing on the city wall with her hands behind her back, but she is missing in March. She still has that gentle smiling face, which seems out of place with the chilling scene around her, as if she is still the young man who doesn't understand the world.
