Chapter 5 and Nine: Zhao Guo retreats

In the 24th year of Qianyuan, on May [-]th, Shen Zhi, the general of Qin State, led [-] elite troops to help Xuanshi City, and conveyed the words of King Qin to Wang Feng. After hearing this, Wang Feng had a bitter expression on his face. He knew that he had let King Qin down. Well, after Meng Zhan's death, there were open and secret struggles within the Qin State for the ownership of the military power. Wang Feng received strong support from the King of Qin and Prime Minister Li You, but due to the strength of Bai Qi and the temptation of the land of Bashu, he finally forcibly suppressed it. After Qi defeated Bashu, King Qin also took the opportunity to take Bai Qi's military power and handed it over to Wang Feng.

However, Wang Feng had just become a general, and within a few days of taking over the military power, Li Rubing led the Zhao army to fight over. Along the way, he broke through several cities in a row. Wang Feng was ordered to lead a hundred thousand elites to face the Zhao army. He didn't take it lightly because he had the superiority in troops ([-] in the Zhao army and [-] in the Qin army), and carefully guarded the city to prevent the Zhao army from advancing an inch. However, when he had the advantage in numbers, Wang Feng adopted this defensive posture However, the middle and lower ranks of the Qin army were very dissatisfied, and it was said many times that Wang Feng was not as good as Bai Qi, which made Wang Feng very angry.

It is true that Wang Feng is not as good as Bai Qi in terms of record. Wang Feng himself admits this, but this does not mean that Wang Feng admits that he is not as good as Bai Qi. The first touchstone after ascending to the throne of the general, Wang Feng urgently needs a big victory to prove that he is worthy of the throne of the general, so in order to prove himself, when Zhao Jun pretended to be defeated, he would ignore Sima Gong and other generals. The one hundred thousand army was ambushed by Zhao Jun in Changping Pavilion, and the loss of [-] was lost. The general Sima Gong also died in Changping Pavilion, which made Wang Feng The already low prestige fell off a cliff again.

Shen Zhi, who came to support him, is also a person who knows how to read words and expressions. When he saw Wang Feng's strange behavior, he comforted him: "Don't blame the king, the general. After the Battle of Changping Pavilion, the king was under great pressure in the court. The resurgence of Lord Wu An's voice is very loud, if it is not suppressed by the king and Li Xiang, I am afraid that what the general waits for is not the last general, but the order of punishment."

"Alas..." Wang Feng sighed, and said: "It's all because of my incompetence, which caused tens of thousands of sons and daughters to die in Changping Pavilion, and even General Sima Gong died in battle. My Great Qin suffered a great humiliation. No matter how the king treats this general, this The general will not have any complaints, but now the king is under pressure and chooses to continue to believe in this general, if the general cannot defend Xuan's City, he will have no face to return to Chang'an."

"The general doesn't have to be like this. There are already 50 elites in Xuan's city, and now the last general has brought in another [-] elites, making a total of [-] troops. As long as we can't hold on, unless Zhao Guo can send half of the elites to Xuan's city." Otherwise, with the soldiers and horses in Li Rubing's hands, it is impossible to shake Xuan's city by half." Shen Zhi said, there are [-] Qin troops in Xuan's city and a large amount of food and supplies. Shen Zhi is confident that with the strength of the Qin army, he will defend with all his strength. , Zhao Guo didn't send out an army of [-] million, and he couldn't even think of a successful attack.

But does Zhao Guo dare to do this?The answer is definitely not. If Zhao Guo dares to do this, the grassland barbarians and Deng Guo will not be indifferent. Both Zhao Guo will be attacked on three sides. If you are not careful, it may not be as simple as defeat, even if you are immortal The country will also lose a large area of ​​territory, but how many people are there in the Zhao army outside the city?Li Rubing led an army of [-] when he went south, and the continuous battle must have been exhausted. In addition to the battle at Changping Pavilion, although Zhao Jun wiped out [-] Qin troops, his own losses were not small. In this case, Unless Li Rubing lost his mind, he would not have chosen to storm Xuan's City.

Wang Feng thinks so. He still has confidence in this point. He can't beat Li Rubing head-on, and he can still defend the city. But Wang Feng is not reconciled. After he became a general, he suffered such a disastrous defeat in the first battle. Now He could only hide and defend. Even if he could hold it, Wang Feng could imagine what kind of attacks he would receive when he returned to Chang'an.

Bai Qi lost about [-] troops in Bashu, but strictly speaking, Bai Qi was not defeated. At best, he lost too much and retreated voluntarily, but what about himself?Changping Pavilion was a real fiasco, the biggest fiasco since Qin returned to Guanzhong, none of them. After the Battle of Bashu, the city of Chang'an was covered with white flags, which caused Bai Qi to step down. After the Changping Pavilion, The grand occasion of Chang'an City is probably not worse than Bai Qi's return to Chang'an, and he himself will become a sinner of Qin State.

At the same time, when Li Rubing outside the city saw that the reinforcements from the Qin Army had arrived, he had the idea of ​​retreating. This time going south can be said to have gained a lot, so he did not recover the entire Nanshang Party, but after recovering the eldest son city, Jinyang There is no longer any threat from the south, and the goal has been achieved, and the battle at Changping Pavilion was fought beautifully. This is the most beautiful victory that Zhao Guo has fought in recent years, and the target was in the hands of Zhao Guo a few years ago. The state of Qin, which had seized two and a half counties by force, made the people of Zhao state completely proud.

However, although the Battle of Changping Pavilion was fought beautifully, Zhao Jun's own losses were not small. Qin Jun's final counterattack was too powerful, resulting in less than 5 Zhao Jun's [-] troops left. There are even fewer Qin troops. If the Qin army comes out again at this time, Li Rubing has no confidence in winning another battle like Changping Pavilion, so Li Rubing plans to accept it as soon as he sees it. Besides, if he really will If Wang Feng is beaten down completely, Bai Qi is probably coming. Li Rubing is confident in beating Wang Feng, but Li Rubing has no idea if he is beating Bai Qi. After all, he was beaten so hard by Bai Qi in Shangjun , this kind of shadow is no less than that of Zhao Xin, a famous general in the world.

"General, everything is ready. The army can return to the court at any time." At this time, Zhao Jun's general Kou Fei came to Li Rubing and said.

Li Rubing nodded, glanced at Xuan's City, smiled and said: "Okay, let's pass on the order, the army will go out, and the master will return to the court."

"General, do you really want to go back like this? Don't attack Xuan's City? As long as Xuan's City is destroyed, the entire Nanshang Party will return to my Great Zhao, and my Great Zhao can wash away the shame of the year. Kou Fei said to Li Rubing unwillingly.

Back then, the Qin army raided Shangdang County and captured half of Shangdang County, including the eldest son city of Shangdang County. Called back, but just gave up like this, all the Zhao Jun generals headed by Kou Fei felt that this was a bit too pity.

Li Rubing knew very well what Kou Fei and the others were thinking, so he smiled and said, "I know what you are thinking, so why don't I want to wash away the shame of the past? But now is not the time, the reinforcements from the Qin army have arrived , with the current strength of our army, it is impossible to capture Xuan's City. Unless we increase our troops, is it worth fighting Qin's army for a small Xuan's City and the Nanshang Party? This is certainly possible. Xuanshi City, but the humiliation my Great Zhao suffered back then was not limited to the Nanshang Party? There are also Hanoi County, Henan County, Chen County, Chenliu County, and Liang County. How much is left in the end?"

After losing Nanshangdang, in just a few years, Zhao Jun lost five counties one after another, and they were all rich and prosperous. In the land of the three counties, Zhao Guo's wounds don't know how long it will take to recover.

"Besides, Qin's opponent is not my big Zhao. We just need to be a bystander and reap the benefits." Li Rubing said after a pause.

"General, what do you mean?" Kou Fei asked a little puzzled.

Li Rubing said: "The Qin army raided Bashu. Although they returned without success in the end and lost nearly 10 soldiers, Deng's army also lost tens of thousands of elites. Even Jiameng Pass was burned down by Bai Qi. You Can Deng Guo, Deng Wang, and the arrogant soldiers in the Deng Army swallow this breath?"

"What does the General mean, Deng Guo will definitely come back with revenge?" Kou Fei said somewhat clearly.

Li Rubing nodded, and said: "The character of the people of Deng Guo is vengeful. It has been proved for a long time. At the beginning, Han State bullied Deng State several times, and finally Deng State used several wars to defeat Han State. Then Qin State took advantage of the vacancy and entered. In Guanzhong, the state of Wu deposed Princess Deng as the queen, and the state of Deng defeated half of the elites of the state of Wu in the first battle. The state of Xiang sent troops to help the state of Wu, and was later destroyed by the state of Deng. The country of the country, just wait, the revenge of the Deng people will come soon, what we have to do next is to sit and watch the bloody battle between Deng and Qin. I have to say that King Qin’s attack on Bashu this time is a bad game. Under the revenge of the people of the country, Qin will have to shed its skin even if it does not die."

After all, Li Rubing looked around and said to Kou Fei: "Let's go, you are all heroes of Zhao in this battle, enjoy the cheers of the people."

"Here!"

Not long after Zhao Jun retreated, Wang Feng got the news. At this moment, Wang Feng was so depressed. He wanted to have a tough battle with Zhao Jun. Withdrew, which made Wang Feng feel like a hero was useless, but Wang Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Jun finally left, and he also defended Xuanshi City. Although there were some flaws, he still completed it Qin Wang entrusted himself with the task.

After the Zhao army retreated, Wang Feng left General Geng Yue to lead [-] troops to garrison Xuan's City.Then he led his troops back to Chang'an.

In the 24th year of Qianyuan, on the first day of June, Wang Feng led his troops back to the court. As expected, Wang Feng received unprecedented criticism, which far exceeded when he defeated Bashu. However, Wang Feng still kept the military power in his hands, but his general could not continue to be a general, and he was directly pushed out, but he was still appointed by the King of Qin as a general of Hussars, in charge of military power, and his position changed, but he had no power at all. This also made many people in the court dissatisfied.

When Wang Feng just returned to Chang'an, in Shangyong County, Deng Jun, led by General Yue Fei, also completed the assembly, and was ready to attack Hanzhong County at any time to avenge the Qin Army's raid on Bashu.
