Thirteen Swords of Qin Shizhi's Desperate Beginning

"Ceded the city!?" King Zhao and the others changed their expressions.

Li Changqing said indifferently: "That's right, King Zhao only needs to cede five cities to me to expand Qin's territory in Hejian County. Afterwards, I will send a letter to stop Meng Tian from marching."

Zhao Wang hesitated for a while, and asked: "Only five cities, sir can let Meng Tian retreat?"

Li Changqing said: "The king of Zhao should know that Meng Tian is also a member of the king of Qin. So Lu Buwei deliberately flattered and killed him, and let him be promoted to the rank of Zuo Shuchang at the age of 19, and lead the army alone in battle."

"Meng Tian has become the common enemy of the young generation of the Qin State. Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng. If Meng Tian is defeated, or returns without success, without Lu Buwei's action, all military factions will target him."

"Because of this, Meng Tian must make meritorious service in attacking Zhao this time. In order to gain enough military merit, he must fight to the death without retreating."

"The most important thing is that he has the support of the Meng family. For Zhao Guo, this is a difficult bone."

Zhao Wang worried: "It's only five cities, is Meng Tian willing to retreat? Why don't I give you ten cities?"

Li Changqing: "..."

Let me go, it turns out that Zhao Wang is so easy to talk to! ?
To be honest, Li Changqing was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty..." Mao Sui was in a hurry, winking one after another.

Li Changqing said calmly: "King Zhao doesn't need to be like this. At this time, five cities are enough for me."

"When Zhao's army defeats Yan's army and captures more Yan's cities, then send me some more."

"If Your Majesty cedes ten cities to Qin at this time, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among Zhao's army and people, and will not be conducive to Qin and Zhao's resignation."

Zhao Wang was moved and said: "Mr. is really a gentleman!"

Li Changqing said with a firm tone: "Please rest assured, King Zhao, Meng Tian is also my confidant and friend. Five cities, plus Yuci, Xincheng, and Langmeng, eight cities are enough for Meng Tian to win."

As long as Meng Tian returns victorious, it is useless for Qin's young generals to be jealous.

Because, after Meng Tian won the victory and returned, he was firmly seated as the commander-in-chief of Zuo Shu, and Lu Buwei had no excuse to demote Meng Tian to punish him.

King Zhao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, come here, get the map."

Soon, the map was fetched, Zhao Wang spread out the silk book map, and invited: "Sir, please see, which five cities you want, why don't you draw them yourself."

Li Changqing smiled and said, "King Zhao is really heroic!"

While speaking, Li Changqing stepped forward, holding a scepter in his left hand and a writing brush in his right hand, and with a wave, he drew out five cities, connecting them with Yuci, Xincheng, and Langmeng.

With Li Changqing's swipe, Qin State's territory in Hejian County was further expanded.

Obtained the five cities of Zhao State without a single soldier.

Li Changqing put down his brush and promised again: "When I return to Qin, I will definitely persuade the king to repatriate Yan Dan to return to Yan. Break the alliance between Qin and Yan to show my sincerity in making friends with Zhao."

Zhao Wang clapped his hands and was overjoyed: "Good!"

The king of Zhao sent an order: "I will write an imperial edict immediately, and you will spread the imperial edict quickly, so that the soldiers in the five cities on the front line will retreat and give way to Qin."

Li Changqing said: "Since this is the case, I will also repair a book on the spot and send it to the soldiers of Zhao Guo, and send it to Meng Tian."

Soon, Li Changqing wrote the letter in Chinese pinyin.

Zhao Wang was very surprised and said: "Sir, what kind of font is this, I have never heard of it, and I have never seen it before."

Li Changqing smiled and said: "This is the secret text code that I agreed with the king and Meng Tian. Only after seeing this secret letter will Meng Tian believe my words and choose to stop marching."

King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mister is wonderful."

Soon, the secret letter was rushed to the front line.

King Zhao Mourning sat on the throne, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you have the help of Mr. to relieve the danger of the Qin army in the east of Zhao Kingdom."

Li Changqing stood in the middle of the court hall, smiled lightly and nodded in response.

Zhao Wang said in a loud voice: "My dear friends, there are still [-] troops from Yan State in the east that need to defend urgently. I don't know who can lead the army to share the worries of the widows?"

After Zhao Wang's words fell, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

After an unknown amount of time, someone said in a low voice, "The leadership of the Yan Kingdom is quite a drama."

Hearing this, Zhao Wang, Mao Sui and others' complexions darkened.

Ju Xin, No. 1 in the military circle of Yan State, master of military strategist, author of nine military books "Ji Zi", once traveled to study Zhao State when he was young, and served as a general under the command of King Zhao Wuling for a short time.

Later, the only hero in the history of Yan State: King Yan Zhao cast a golden platform, bought horse bones with thousands of gold, recruited talents from all over the world, and turned to Yan, reformed and strengthened, defeated Qi State, and became famous all over the world in the First World War.

Ju Xin, this is a talent comparable to great sages such as Le Yi, Lian Po, Zhao She, and Lord Xinling. Looking at Zhao Guo today, it seems that only Li Mu can fight against it.

However, Li Mu cannot do without Beijiang, no, Beijiang cannot do without Li Mu.

Someone whispered: "Why don't you ask General Li Tong to lead the army to fight?"

King Zhao looked at Li Tong with anticipation on his face. This general who made his fortune in the Battle of Handan and once teamed up with Lord Xinling to defeat the Qin Army became his only hope at the moment.

Li Tong came out and said: "Your Majesty, it's definitely not because I'm greedy for life and afraid of death and dare not lead the army, but because I can't lead the army."

"Ju Xin is a veteran of the Yan Kingdom, and also the No.1 general of the Yan Kingdom. I know that I am definitely not Ju Xin's opponent. If I lead the army rashly, I will only return in a big defeat."

Zhao Wang showed embarrassment: "This, what should I do?"

In the court hall, Mao Sui, Lin Yu and others were silent, while the rest of the courtiers talked a lot.

clang!
At this moment, Li Changqing hit the ground with his staff in his right hand, and said loudly: "Sun Wuzi, a military sage, has a saying in "Sun Tzu - Attacking Schemes": Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."

"If you don't know the enemy but know yourself, you will win and lose; if you don't know yourself, you will perish in every battle."

Everyone in King Zhao looked sideways and asked curiously, "Why did you say that, sir?"

"Is there a way, sir, to help Zhao Guo repel the army of Yan Guo?"

Li Changqing smiled mysteriously, and said: "Although I have no way, I know someone who has a way."

"Who?"

Not only King Zhao, but also Mao Sui, Li Tong and Lin Yu all asked in unison.

Li Changqing paused word by word: "Pang Nuan."

"Pang Nuan!?"

King Zhao thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Who is this Pang Nuan?!"

Mao Sui pondered for a while, with a shocked expression on his face.

Seeing this, King Zhao asked, "Does Sikong know about Pang Nuan?"

Mao Sui replied: "Your Majesty, during the time of King Wuling of Zhao, Pang Nuan was heavily used by King Wuling of Zhao. He often accompanied the left and right staffs in military affairs, and discussed the art of war with the former King Wuling."

"Later, after King Wuling gave way to King Huiwen, Pang Nuan lived in seclusion. Counting his age, this old general is almost eighty years old."

"What?!" Everyone's expressions changed.

King Zhao exclaimed, "Eighty years old?"

King Zhao looked at Li Changqing and asked, "Sir, are you sure the Pang Nuan you're talking about is this Pang Nuan?"

Li Changqing said indifferently: "800 years ago, Jiang Ziya, the ancestor of a hundred families, met King Wen of Zhou in Weishui at the age of 70, and assisted King Wu of Zhou at the age of 80 to launch an army against Zhou, creating the 800-year foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"A person's talent has nothing to do with age."

Mao Sui murmured: "I once heard that when Ju Xin served as a general under the command of the late King Wu Ling, he and Pang Nuan were close friends and often discussed the art of war together."

"Could it be that what the master said, knowing yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles, refers to Pang Nuan?"

Li Changqing smiled lightly: "Anyway, I have already given you the choice. As for whether you dare to use it, and to what extent, it depends on how you choose, King Zhao."

Zhao Wang looked hesitant. After a few breaths, he suddenly slapped the armrest, stood up and said, "Come here, invite Pang Nuan into the palace."

"I believe that Mr. Changqing will definitely not lie to me."

Li Changqing gave a slight salute and said with a smile: "You will not be disappointed, King Zhao."

"That being the case, I will take my farewell first."

Zhao Wang stepped forward and said, "Sir, go slowly."

"After the army goes out to battle, I will definitely spare time to entertain you sir."

"King Zhao is polite." Li Changqing smiled, took three steps back, turned and left.

Dressed in a green shirt, she floats in and out.

No one in Zhao State dared to be slighted.

Zhao Wang sighed and said: "If you have this person's help, you are better than a million soldiers!"

Mao Sui echoed: "A three-inch tongue is better than a million teachers. Li Changqing is more qualified to receive this honor than a subject."
