The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Fangshan County and Fengtai County border Chongnan County, Jinchang County, and Shunbei County. There are no passes in the border area. If Fangshan County and Fengtai County are not taken back, the enemy can easily enter Chongnan County, Jinchang County, and Shunbei County. It is also very difficult to deploy defenses. It will seriously divide the troops. After all, there are three places to defend, and a large number of troops will definitely be needed.

But as long as Fangshan County and Fengtai County are taken back, and troops are only needed to garrison Hulao Pass, the enemy can be blocked, the country can be effectively protected, and part of the troops can be saved. Anyone with a long-term vision will see this clearly.

"Your Majesty's worry, I have already thought about it. I believe that the Qin army may launch an offensive against our Zhao army, but they will definitely not be able to defeat our Zhao army. We even have to compromise and admit that the Jin land occupied by our great Zhao is Zhao land!" Fang Ruhai saluted with a confident smile on his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty, King Cheng is proficient in formations and tactics of military strategism. Three years ago, the attack on Han was overwhelming. If the damned Qi Empire didn't intervene suddenly, half of the Han Empire would have been lost if it was not destroyed. With King Cheng leading the army to attack Jin, Your Majesty can do it." rest assured!"

"King Cheng's ability to lead troops is far superior to that of his ministers. With him, there will be no worries on the front line!"

"The supreme commander of the Qin Empire's conquest of Jin was named Du Changjing. Although Du Changjing was also a top commander, he was still inferior in front of King Cheng, and the strength of the Jin Qin army was only more than 40. I defeated the Jin and Zhao troops with a total of [-] soldiers, twice the strength of the Qin army. In terms of the strength of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Zhao army are not inferior to the soldiers of the Qin army!"

"Qin Jun had better not do anything to us, otherwise, King Cheng will definitely make Qin Jun regret it!"

"My Great Zhao Fajin's division, the commander is not only Cheng Wang, but also Wu Shi, Song Zhizhong, Liang Xiao, Shi Jiulong, Mo Bei, these five generals are all top generals, each can be independent, they are united Together, I am afraid that no army in the world can defeat them!"

The ministers of Wu stood up and said that they were all confident, they didn't take Qin Jun seriously at all, and they didn't worry about the disastrous defeat on the front line at all. Hearing these words, Zhao Didan couldn't help but relax his tense spirit, especially when he heard the name Cheng Wang A look of relief appeared on his face involuntarily.

He will not be afraid of powerful brothers like ordinary emperors. On the contrary, not only will he not be afraid, but he will feel gratified and proud. Proceed!

In fact, the weakness of many empires was caused by the emperor's fear of the people around him. Those who can become kings are basically smart people, and those who can become high officials are also smart people, but why are they weak?Because they used their cleverness and tricks on their own people, causing the empire to gradually weaken. By the time they reacted, it was too late to mend the situation!

Zhao Didan understands this very well. He will not use his ingenuity and unparalleled resourcefulness on his courtiers. If the courtiers target each other, he will transfer the internal conflicts to the outside. When he attacked Yan and Han, it was to transfer internal conflicts .

Although it failed in the end, it also made the Manchao Wuchang united, and the defeat was worth it!

"Report!"

At this time, there was an urgent call from outside the hall, Minister Wu subconsciously turned his head to look, and Zhao Didan also looked up to the outside of the hall, only to see a fair and clean eunuch about twenty years old walking into the hall in a hurry.

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 616 The Stupid Zhao Didan!

This eunuch holds Buddha dust in his right hand and a memorial in his left hand. As we all know, eunuchs who hold Buddha dust in general are not ordinary eunuchs. Only eunuchs with official status are qualified to hold Buddha dust. The most important ones are official positions in the palace, such as eunuch orders and the like.

And this eunuch is Li Bo, the eunuch Ling, who is a close friend promoted by Zhao Didan in recent days. Li Bo is not very old, only 23 years old, but he has been in the palace for 12 years. He was sold into the palace when he was 11 years old. It's been a hard time, but fortunately, she made it through and became a big celebrity around the emperor!

When Li Bo came to the center of the hall, he stopped, and then bent down to make a report: "Your Majesty, Ning Zhen, the prefect of Fengtai County, sent someone to send a report!"

"Submit it!" Zhao Didan said softly with no expression on his face.

"Obey!" Li Bo replied respectfully, and then continued to walk forward, directly onto the high platform, and handed the memorial from Ning Zhen, the governor of Fengtai County, to Zhao Didan with both hands. Zhao Didan quickly took the memorial and handed it over Start a battle!

The content of the memorial is as follows:

Your Majesty is above, and my subjects are below. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

Your Majesty, on June 21, 26st year of Jiahe, King Cheng led five generals, General Zhenjun, General Zhenbei, General Fenwei, General Weiyuan, General Zhenwei, and 40 elite troops to the city of Jinling. Qin Jun arrived!

Cheng Wang and the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, Du Changjing, negotiated in front of the two armies. They wanted the Qin Empire to admit that the Jin land occupied by our Zhao army belonged to Zhao soil. The commander-in-chief of the Qin Army, Du Changjing, refused without hesitation. After the failure, the two armies of Zhao and Qin confronted each other, and neither retreated nor stepped forward!

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Qin Wu Wang Bai Qi led three thousand Xuanjia troops to attack suddenly. Qin Wu Wang Bai Qi was extremely domineering and decisive, and directly charged. A phalanx composed of ten thousand elite soldiers, and the three thousand Xuanjia army also smashed a phalanx composed of twenty thousand elite soldiers!

What is even more frightening and sad is that Qin Wu Wang Bai Qi was like a god, traveling through thousands of armies in the blink of an eye, suddenly stood in front of Cheng Wang, and crushed Cheng Wang's neck alive, causing Cheng Wang to fall, Qin Wu Wang Bai Qi killed me Cheng After the king, he even killed the generals of Zhenjun, Zhenbei, Fenwei, Weiyuan, and Zhenwei!

After the death of King Cheng and the five generals, our army was leaderless and its morale plummeted. In the end, it was completely defeated by 13 cavalry of the Qin army. In this battle, 11 of our army were killed and 16 were captured. Now, the ministers are about to be defeated The soldiers are gathered, and the force is [-]!

Your Majesty, the Qin army will definitely continue to attack, and I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. I hope that your Majesty will reinforce Fengtai County and Fangshan County as soon as possible, otherwise, the two counties will be lost!Ning Zhen, Governor of Fengtai County, personally wrote the Seal of Fengtai County Governor

After reading the contents of the memorial, Zhao Didan was dumbfounded, and a look of horror appeared on his face. His originally rosy face instantly turned pale and lifeless. Minister Wu under the high platform saw Zhao Didan's reaction, and suddenly felt bad. With a premonition, his throat was raised immediately.

Zhao Didan's hands trembled slightly, and the memorial in his hand slipped to the ground, and he was stunned for a moment, bewildered!

Fang Ruhai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked nervously, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Zhao Didan didn't reply, but kept taking deep breaths, and even pinched his thigh secretly to see if he was dreaming. When he pinched hard, there was a sharp pain in his thigh, which made Zhao Didan shudder all over. Dream, it's true!

"puff!"

In a hurry, Zhao Didan's throat was sweetened, and a mouthful of blood was spurted from his mouth, making the bright red blood spray on the golden imperial case.

"His Majesty!"

Minister Wu exclaimed, his expression became extremely terrified, many ministers wanted to go up to help, Zhao Didan quickly reached out to stop him, and said in a weak tone: "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't worry about me..."

Zhao Didan's expression was dull, and he hadn't recovered yet. When Minister Wu saw this, his eyes turned red!

What the hell is going on!What the hell is going on!

"What happened, why is Your Majesty acting like this!"

"Could it be that the front line was defeated?"

"How is it possible, with an army of 40 and several strong generals in command, how can it be defeated?"

"Then tell me why Your Majesty suddenly vomited blood!"

"How do I know, maybe it's something else!"

"Could it be that King Cheng rebelled?"

"No way? King Cheng has no reason to rebel!"

"Does rebellion still need a reason? Isn't it easy for him to rebel? With 40 troops in hand, controlling the last elite army of the Great Zhao Empire, and Mo Bei's generals under his command, this power is enough to change the throne!"

"To shut up!"

"It's about this time, what's the use of shutting up, I just want to talk!"

"No, if King Cheng rebelled, we wouldn't have gotten the news now, and it shouldn't be the news from the governor of Fengtai County, it shouldn't be King Cheng's rebellion!"

"How is this impossible? Maybe the Qin Empire conspired with King Cheng to make King Cheng rebel!"

"The more you talk, the more outrageous it is, how could King Cheng conspire with the Qin Empire!"

"Is this impossible? Maybe the Qin Empire wants to split my Great Zhao, and promise King Cheng that as long as King Cheng establishes himself as emperor, Jin and Tu hand over to each other, so as to split our Great Zhao and weaken our Great Zhao!"

"Yeah, it's not impossible!"

"Absurd, simply absurd!"

All the military officials discussed anxiously with each other, making the huge Chengqian Palace become noisy, even louder than the market, and almost knocked off the roof tiles.

"Shut up to the truth!!" Prime Minister Fang Ruhai yelled at the noisy ministers!

After some roaring, Minister Wu just shut his mouth embarrassingly.

"call!"

Zhao Didan let out a heavy breath, looked up at the military officials under the high platform, his face was pale, and he said in a weak voice: "The governor of Fengtai County reported that King Cheng and the commander-in-chief of the Qin Army are discussing outside Jinling City in Changjing. The negotiation was fruitless, and the two armies confronted each other, and Qin Wu Baiqi suddenly led three thousand Xuanjia troops to attack."

"King Wu of Qin Bai Qi rushed into our army, beheading... King Cheng, General Zhenjun, General Zhenbei, General Fenwei, General Zhenwei, General Weiyuan, five...five generals and one king In this battle, 13 of our troops were beheaded and 11 were captured. The defeat has been collected by Fengtai County, leaving only With a force of 16 troops, Ning Zhen, the governor of the county, was afraid that it would be difficult to resist the attack of the Qin army, so he asked the imperial court to send troops to reinforce..."

PS: "Please recommend a ticket!"

Chapter 617 Qin Qiang and Zhao Weak!

boom!

These words undoubtedly detonated an atomic bomb in Minister Wu's ear, which made Minister Wu dumbfounded and dumbstruck. For a while, he was like Zhao Didan before, with no master, and his whole spirit seemed to be drained by a force!

With a sound of "Peng!", an old official couldn't bear the bad news, fell to the ground with a muffled voice, and lost consciousness on the spot!

Normally, all the officials would step forward to help, but now, all the ministers of Wu are out of their minds, like walking dead.

"how so!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"what!!"

"This is fake, this must be fake, this is a dream, everyone, this is a dream, don't believe it, wake up quickly!"

"That's right, this is a dream, it's fake, it's all fake!"

The military officials seemed to be suffering from a demonic disease. They shook their colleagues with ferocious faces and roared from time to time. They couldn't accept this fact, they couldn't accept this terrible news!

The Great Zhao Empire originally had an army of 50. When it was conquering Yan and Han, it recruited 50 young and strong men. It had an army of one million. It invested 80 troops in the conquest of Yan and Han, but ended in failure. It lost 30 new recruits and 60 troops. Elite, although there are still 40 soldiers in the country, there are only [-] elite divisions left!

Even if there are only 40 elite troops left, they can still stand out from the crowd, but now, the 40 army has been defeated, five generals and one king have all died in battle, and only 40 of the 16 elite army is left. Said, undoubtedly a huge hit!

Bad news for the country!

"Bang!" came from the high platform, Minister Wu trembled all over, and quickly raised his head to look at the high platform, only to see Zhao Didan looking at them with a gloomy expression, with a hand with blue veins exposed on the imperial case. It was obvious that the loud noise just now was made by Zhao Didan angrily patting the case.

"Above the court, you are so noisy, where to set the court, so what if you lose, so what if King Cheng and five fierce generals die in battle, not to mention the loss of 24 elite troops, even if the entire army is wiped out, You, all of you, have to straighten your backs for me!"

"Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Losing is not terrible. What's terrible is that you lose your spirit!" Zhao Didan's face was ferocious, and his voice was extremely low, like a wounded wild animal roaring!

Zhao Didan's heart is stronger than he imagined, a fiasco did not defeat his ambition and fighting spirit, he is still full of fighting spirit, not afraid of strong Qin, not afraid of nothing!

"His Majesty!"

"Woooo!"

"I'm so sad, so sad!"

"It's easy to get a thousand troops, but it's hard to find a general. It's hard for me, Great Zhao, to encounter the spectacular scene of generals and stars, but I never thought that a battle would make more than half of my great Zhao's generals fall. Mingzai!"

The military officials under the high platform were weeping bitterly, and the old tears filled the solemn and sacred Chengqian Palace with a heavy atmosphere, making people feel no joy in their hearts. Zhao Didan on the high platform was also sad and wanted to cry field, but he must keep his grief in his heart, because he is the emperor!

He is the backbone of all his subjects, even if he is in grief, he must endure, not only must endure, but also show a strong look!

"Whatever you cry, shut up for me, whoever is crying once, the palace staff is thirty, cry twice, the palace staff is fifty, you all remember for me, the sky is falling, and you are holding it, you are not allowed to cry!" Zhao Didan's face was so gloomy that dripping water made Minister Wu involuntarily put away his tears.

When the crying sound from Chengqian Palace stopped completely, Zhao Didan turned his eyes to Prime Minister Fang Ruhai. At this time, Fang Ruhai seemed to have aged ten years in the blink of an eye, his eyes were still glistening with tears, and there were two obvious tear marks on his wrinkled face. .

At this time, Fang Ruhai also noticed that Zhao Didan was looking at him, so he quickly lifted his clothes to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and also wiped off the two tear stains on his face, then bowed slightly, listening to Zhao Didan's golden words!

"Where is the prime minister!" Zhao Didan called softly with no expression on his face!

"The minister is here!" Fang Ruhai hurriedly bent down and responded.

"Draft an edict to order officials from Fengtai County and Fangshan County to return to Beijing to report on their duties. In addition, Ning Zhen, the governor of Fengtai County, is ordered to bring back 16 defeated soldiers, completely withdraw from Fengtai County and Fangshan County, and return them to Hulao Pass!" Zhao Didan gritted his teeth and said with reddish eyes.

The meaning of his words is already obvious, if you don't fight the Qin Empire, you must be sharp for the time being and be soft!

"What?" Fang Ruhai was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Zhao Didan in disbelief, unable to believe that these words came from Zhao Didan's mouth!

"What did His Majesty say just now?"

"It seems to say, give up Fengtai County and Fangshan County, and return Hulao Pass!"

"what!"

Zhao Didan's words caused an uproar among the officials, and the originally quiet hall suddenly fell silent. Minister Wu felt incredible, but also wanted to oppose Zhao Didan's will.

Zhao Didan calmed down his inner emotions, expressionless, and said to the officials in a deep tone: "I know that all the lovers are not reconciled, and I am not reconciled either. After all, these two counties are the sons of Dazhao who sacrificed their blood and lives. The territory that was exchanged, even more painstaking efforts of you and my ministers!"

"So what if you don't want to be reconciled, the Qin army is pressing every step of the way, and Fengtai County and Fangshan County can't hold it at all. After hearing this, maybe Ai Qing will ask, although I, Da Zhao, has experienced a big defeat, but the country still has a lot of trouble. 50 young men can be recruited, which is enough to fight the Qin army to the death!"

"But you have to know that the Qin army is most afraid of the strength of the enemy army. Throughout the wars of the Qin army in the past ten years, they have always won more with less, and they have all won the greatest results at the lowest price. Today's Da Zhao is in pain. Losing five generals and one king, 24 elites will be wiped out, if we fight again, the chance of winning is less than [-]%!"

"If my Dazhao loses again, my Dazhao will become the second Jin Empire, reduced to the ranks of the second-rate and third-rate empires, and will no longer be able to compete with the Qin army, and will be retaliated by the Yan and Han countries. , This big defeat is not without any benefits, at least let you and my monarch and ministers understand the gap in strength!"

"If you understand the gap, you will know how to make up for it. In the past, we always thought that Zhao's national strength was strong and he could stand out from the crowd, and we didn't take any empire seriously. Now this big defeat has made us recognize ourselves and know ourselves. How many catties and taels!"

"There are people beyond the people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. I, Da Zhao, still need to recuperate and increase my strength. I intend to wipe out the Qin army one day and take revenge. From now on, all officials above the ninth rank must have four characters in their families. These four The words are: Qin Qiang and Zhao Ruo!"

PS: "Ask for a full order, ask for a monthly pass!"

Chapter 618 Zhao Didan's aftermath!

"These four words should be written bigger, eye-catching, and you can see them every day when you go out and go home. You have to motivate yourself every day, and you have to tell yourself every day that everything you have done is not enough, and you need to work harder!"

After listening to these earnest words, the eyes of many ministers have turned red, with tears flickering in their eye sockets. Every minister's heart has become extremely heavy. While the heart is heavy, they are also motivated!

Next, they have only one goal, to chase the Great Qin Empire and take revenge!

"Your Majesty would like to obey His Majesty's instruction!" Minister Wu bent over and said in unison with a more excited expression.

"Retreat!" Zhao Didan flicked his sleeves, got up from the carved dragon throne with no expression on his face, walked directly down the high platform, and left the majestic and sacred Chengqian Hall from the back hall!

The Wu ministers under the high platform saw Zhao Didan leave, they all knelt down on the ground, bowed and shouted loudly: "I wait to send you off to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

When Zhao Didan's figure disappeared from Minister Wu's eyes, Minister Wu got up from the ground unhurriedly and left Chengqian Hall one after another. When Minister Wu left Chengqian Hall, his expressions were gloomy, making the eunuchs outside the hall shudder.

After Zhao Didan left the Palace of Chengqian, he took the eunuch Li Bo to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. It was mid-July, the summer was scorching hot, and the hot ground made people sweat profusely, but the Hall of Mental Cultivation was as cold as autumn. As soon as people walk in, they feel refreshed and dissipate the heat.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation has this effect, so it is naturally cooled by more than a dozen ice furnaces!
