Chapter 38

"Okay! To wipe out my five thousand elites, this Zhao Shuang is really worth my visit."

When Wang Ji got the news, he burst out laughing.

However, amidst the laughter, Meng Tian could always hear a gnashing of teeth.

As a military strategist, I am used to seeing life and death.From the moment he entered the battlefield, he had the consciousness of dying on the battlefield.

But even so, the five thousand soldiers were all elites, trained by Wang Jue alone, and now they died here like this, how could they swallow this breath?

"A military report came from Xianyang, telling us to retreat."

Meng Ao held the black dragon scroll, his face was a little heavy.

"I won't retreat!"

Wang Yu yelled and waved his hand, as if no one would buy it.

"Wang Ji, don't act recklessly. Zhao Shuang wiped out all [-] elite soldiers of our army, and still has at least [-] available Zhao soldiers. They have all retreated to the camp. We have no time left."

The camp previously established by the Han army was burned down. Although it was convenient to obtain materials there, it would take at least five days to rebuild the camp.

If you attack again, you will be more than one step slower.

Meng Ao's earnest voice calmed down Wang Ji's inner anger and fighting spirit a little.

"What we are facing now is a bigger battle. Don't just focus on this small place. According to the news from the south, the Xiang clan has already raised troops."

"Xiang Yan?"

Wang Jue looked at Meng Ao, and he had completely calmed down at this moment.As a general, keeping calm is the most necessary quality.

"Ever since Lord Wu'an captured Yingdu, the state of Chu has been brooding over it. Over the years, they have been trying to regain Nanjun. Now the Chu army is stationing troops in the pass, and food, grass and equipment are constantly being sent there."

As soon as Meng Ao finished speaking, Wang Jue snorted.

"The state of Chu established its capital in Chen, but it has never given up. It wants to regain control of Nanjun from my state of Qin. This time, they took advantage of the momentum of the alliance, and they started thinking again."

"There is only one piece of covenant left for the nations to unite. It may be too late to stop Xianyang. Next, there may be a big war. This kid named Zhao Shuang, we will meet again sooner or later."

Meng Ao spoke leisurely, and several people in the tent pondered.

Xianyang.

"Auntie, why do you want to see me today?"

Lord Changping walked briskly into the palace.

The Empress Dowager Huayang is respected, the queen of King Qin Xiaowen, the aunt of King Zhuang Xiang, and the aunt of the current king.

The distinction between concubine and concubine is established, even if King Zhuang Xiang's biological mother, Empress Dowager Xia, will be a head shorter when she sees Empress Dowager Huayang.

The Empress Dowager Huayang has been operating in Xianyang for decades and has a huge influence.Even Lu Buwei, if he wants to fight against him, he has insufficient background.

"Are you pretty?"

It's just that the Empress Dowager Huayang's complexion was not good when she saw this nephew.

"Aunt, what's the matter with your old man?"

Mr. Changping considered that he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary recently.The Empress Dowager Huayang usually doesn't see him, but every time she sees him, she always scolds him.

However, Mr. Changping has no complaints at all.Because every time the Empress Dowager Huayang scolded him, she could always wake him up, and in this crisis-ridden city of Xianyang, he could survive the crisis safely.

"Lu Buwei recommended you to be the governor of Dongjun County, and asked you to draw up a list of officials at all levels. Do you agree?"

"Yes, aunt. I am preparing to serve my country."

"Bullshit!" The Empress Dowager Huayang was so hot-tempered that she scolded her head and face, "Lu Buwei dug such a big hole for you, you are so stupid to jump into it. How can we have a man like you in Chu State? ?”

Lord Changping stood aside, not daring to reply a word, until the Empress Dowager Huayang's anger subsided, she took a step forward and whispered.

"Auntie, Dongjun is a big piece of fat!"

"You..." The Empress Dowager Huayang pointed at Mr. Changping with a look of hatred for iron and steel, "it's your turn to eat fat?"

"Now that the countries are united, the Chu State has already stationed troops in the pass. Qin State is staring at you from all over, big and small. You are still planting cronies in Dongjun. You let the Qin State Ying clan, Zhaoxiang What do the king's veterans and generals in the army think of you? Dongjun is so hot, how dare you take it?"

After what the Empress Dowager Huayang said, Mr. Changping broke out in a cold sweat and reacted.

"Lu Buwei is going to roast me on the fire!"

"You are far behind Lu Buwei."

The Empress Dowager Huayang sat down, took a sip of water, and calmed down.

"Auntie, what should I do now, return this job?"

"It's too late to withdraw now. First remove the original list. Then go to Da Zongzheng and beg him to discuss it together. If he refuses, you have to kneel down and come up with a new list."

The Empress Dowager Huayang looked at her nephew, her eyes became calm.

"If you want to fight Lu Buwei, you must not push the people I just mentioned to him. Especially the old officials of King Zhaoxiang, you must treat them well, but don't underestimate these old guys."

Mr. Changping nodded, remembering these words in his heart.

"In addition, you prepare a generous gift and send it to Zhaojia Village in Yongdi."

Mr. Changping didn't understand why the Empress Dowager Huayang sent gifts to that corner.But Mr. Changping dare not disobey her meaning.

"Nephew understands."

"The Qin army has retreated!"

In Zhao Jun's camp, Zhao Shuang was stretching a hard bow he had just captured.

Mo Ya and Bai Feng watched the black-armored soldiers receding like a tide in the distance with their own eyes. The scene was very shocking.

"The Qin army is only shrinking strategically to deal with the next bigger battle."

Zhao Shuang said indifferently.

"What about us?"

Zhao Shuang smiled and pulled the bow away.

"I heard that many nobles who hunt specialize in domesticating falcons and hounds, why don't we get some too?"

hunt?Falconry?Keep a dog?

Is this what a general should do?

"Then us?"

"Don't worry, we just fought a big battle, and we captured countless rewards, and the rewards from above will be distributed, and I will not default on your salary. By the way, you also choose a set of hunting equipment."

"That's not what I mean, what about the next battle?"

"It has nothing to do with us." Zhao Shuang didn't care at all, "The Qin army has deployed, and the coalition army is also deploying. For a long time, we will not have much change."

After all, it takes a long time to reconcile the alliance of various countries, from the signing of the covenant, to the formulation of the route of the countries' march, to the selection of the assembly place and the attack policy.

The interests of various countries are different, so naturally it is not so easy to reach an agreement.

Mo Ya and Bai Feng looked at the little fat man in disbelief, it was hard to believe that one person could change so much.

Is this still the general who led his cavalry into the camp of the Qin army not long ago and took the lead?

Could it be that he was corrupted so quickly?
