Chaotic Qin

Chapter 74

The King of Qin let out a kind laugh, turned his head to look at Ying Zheng, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Zheng said that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty and his ministers intended to deceive me about Da Qin, how should I deal with it?"

Yingzheng said softly: "The Zhou Dynasty occupied only a hundred miles of land, and the daily taxes were not enough to spend, so that the debts were so high. How dare you pretend to be the emperor like this, it is really a joke in the world."

King Qin laughed out loud after hearing Ying Zheng's words.

He looked contemptuously at the Prime Minister of Zhou Dynasty who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and taunted loudly: "My Daqin child knows how the Emperor Zhou is, and you dare to attack Qin with the intention of the six kingdoms? Since you are here, you don't have to leave Now, let’s wait here for my Qin army to conquer the tiny piece of land of the Zhou Dynasty.”

The prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty didn't care about his sweating profusely.

He hurriedly crawled to King Qin's feet, and held on to King Qin's hem, refusing to let go.

The prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty said with a trembling voice: "Ming Jian, the ruler of Qin, the emperor is already eighty years old. He is old and frail. The thieves have split my Zhou Dynasty and established themselves as kings. Because they are unpopular, they deliberately stand up for their own interests, hoping to use the prestige of the six eastern countries to attack Qin in a unified manner to pile up his prestige as the emperor. But The real Emperor Zhou has absolutely no such intentions!"

Qin Wangzhi is in the world, so he naturally understands that Zhou Tianzi is weak and sick, unable to govern the country, which led to the fact that the power of the Zhou Dynasty was in the hands of the Duke of Western Zhou.

But no matter the Duke of Eastern Zhou or the Duke of Western Zhou, they are nothing more than clowns who are too lazy to talk to King Qin, and they are not worthy of being called opponents at all.

But today they angered the King of Qin, and the King of Qin didn't mind at all sending out tens of thousands of troops to put down the Zhou Dynasty, which had long since lost its former glory, and let it completely disappear in the torrent of history.

The King of Qin was too lazy to say anything to the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty.

He waved his hand, and the guards immediately surrounded him, knocked the Prime Minister of Zhou Dynasty unconscious, dragged him out of the main hall like a dead dog, and imprisoned him.

The prime minister of the Zhou Dynasty who angered King Qin and was imprisoned would never enjoy the treatment of Lord Pingyuan, and the life waiting for him must be very miserable.

Seeing that the situation had been settled, Fan Sui exchanged a look with Zhang Li.

He took the initiative to speak to the King of Qin and said, "Tang Sui brought gold and silver on his trip this time to lobby heroes from all over the world. He has already caused the disciples who followed the lords and sons of various countries to fight for the large sum of money he promised. At present, all countries are making trouble. Don't talk about it, I have no intention of continuing to discuss the tactics of attacking Daqin. Tang Sui learned from it that the Allied Forces of the Six Nations gathered in South Korea's Yangcheng and Yingshu, consuming food and grass day after day, and the army seemed very restless .”

Zhang Li followed up and said: "Master, the Duke of Western Zhou is very ambitious but lacking in talent. The coalition army led by him is completely vulnerable. It is a god-sent opportunity to go to war at this time."

King Qin was very moved when he heard these words.

But he hasn't forgotten Bai Qi's words a few days ago that "the soldiers are exhausted and the horses are exhausted, and the battle is bound to be defeated", so he couldn't help but cast his eyes on Bai Qi with some anxiety.

Bai Qi walked out of the queue, prostrated himself on the ground, and said directly: "If the lord is willing to attack the Allied Forces of the Six Nations this time, Bai Qi hopes to lead the troops to fight."

King Qin's face instantly burst into a smile.

He patted the table and said repeatedly: "Great kindness! Lord Wu An is willing to fight, and I will win the Great Qin, so why worry about me! Bai Qi takes orders, and I promise you to command one hundred thousand elite soldiers to fight, and Zhang Li will be in charge of dispatching the preparations for the battle. "

With Qin Wang's words, Qin's state machinery immediately began to operate at a speed beyond imagination.

Immediately after the autumn harvest, soldiers and horses were called up, and they went straight to Yangcheng and negative millet in South Korea.

No one in the six eastern countries has yet awakened from the vanity of competing to lead the six-nation coalition. They are still dreaming of "as long as they unite, they will definitely be able to defeat Qin" and continue to fight for power.

To make matters worse, King Qin's strategy of using gold and silver to buy off favored ministers around the lords of various countries was very effective, and the lords of Yan and Qi, which did not border Qin at all, were tempted.

In fact, the leader of Zhao State, who had just been defeated by Qin State, was also very afraid of this confrontation with Qin State.

Only South Korea, which lost the seventeen counties of Shangdang and thus became precarious, and Chu, whose ancestral temple was burned by Qin State, had the unwavering hope to defeat Qin State, and defeated Qin State in one breath, and they were no longer able to send troops. .

King Zhao circled around the newly built palace one after another.

In any case, this palace cannot be compared with the palace in Handan, but with Zhao's current national strength, it really can't afford to waste it for King Zhao, so he can only make do with it.

Zhao He and Lou Huan had always been representatives of ministers who were close to Qin State. Seeing that Zhao State was indecisive, they couldn't help but exchanged glances.

Immediately, Zhao He said softly to Zhao Guo: "My lord, my Zhao country was defeated by Qin twice in a row. The hearts of the people are scattered, the morale of the army is unstable, and the country is too exhausted. It can't afford the next war against Qin. My lord Why do you still insist on it?"

Zhao Wang suddenly stopped, with a look of humiliation flashing across his face, he couldn't help saying: "If you can't take it back to Handan, how can I have the face to meet the ancestors in the ancestral temple in the future. As long as this victory against Qin is won, the widow will say Maybe we can fight all the way to Xianyang with the coalition forces to avenge our hatred."

Zhao He had collected a lot of gold and silver from Tang Sui, so how could he not try his best to persuade Zhao Guo at this time?

He continued: "My country Zhao has been defeated one after another, losing troops and losing generals. Even a famous general like General Lian Po can't fight against the Qin army. I am really worried that the king will continue to fight against Qin. If he fails again, he will have to cede land and pay compensation. From then on, there is no There's no room for resistance."

Zhao Wang was so frightened by the fearful future described by Zhao He that his face turned pale, and his eyes were horrified and anxiously looking around in the court hall.

Lian Po immediately retorted: "In my opinion, this battle should be fought."

Yu Qing has always been a fighter. Seeing that Zhao Wang was about to be persuaded by Zhao He's shameless words of peace, he immediately stepped out and said loudly: "My lord, please don't do this. Although Qin is strong, it is not as strong as it is." The alliance of the six countries. Qin State has been bent on annexing the six countries over the years and replacing him with Zhou Tianzi. Everyone knows that the wolf is ambitious. Even if we Zhao State keeps compromising with Qin State, we are connected with the land of Qin State. If Qin State If you want to take action, you will still use our three Jins. Instead of feeding a lot of treasures to Qin, who will never be familiar with it, why not use this money to win over Chu, South Korea, and Wei? At least they and my country Zhao With the same stand, we can jointly attack the Qin State. In this way, even if the Qin State is in a disadvantageous position in the future when we talk together, there is still a chance for our Zhao State to survive."

After listening to Yu Qing's words, King Zhao's thought of wanting to simply seek peace just now changed to resisting Qin's better.

When Lou Huan saw this, he narrowed his eyes viciously.

He walked up to Yu Qing and said bluntly, "The Lord treats Yu Shangqing well. Back then you were poor and could only wear straw sandals. It was the Lord who gave you a hundred taels of gold, a pair of white biscuits and the identity of Shangqing. Yu Why doesn't Qing want to be loyal to the king today, but instead entraps the king?!"

Yu Qing's eyes were full of doubts, and she couldn't help but said to Lou Huan, "What do you mean?"

Lou Huan snorted coldly, knelt in front of King Zhao, and said loudly: "My lord, after the Battle of Changping, I originally said that it would be better to send the six cities promised to the Qin State honestly, so as to save time for health and well-being. ;Yu Shangqing insisted on saying the same thing as now, provoking the king to believe him. As a result, the battle of Handan was triggered, so that not only lost the six cities that were supposed to be given, but even handed down the kingdom left by his ancestors and other The twelve cities were also lost in the hands of Qin's army. Today, Yu Shangqing said such things again! What exactly do you want? Do you want to make trouble for my country, Zhao, to be at ease?!"

Yu Qing was blocked by him and didn't know what to say for a while.

But Yu Qing's words were not wrong at all.

The failure of the Battle of Handan was caused by insufficient food and grass and the failure of reinforcements to arrive on time, not because of tactical problems.

However, the failure of the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan was a reality before King Zhao. He had never been a monarch with great strategy and vision. Therefore, after hearing Lou Huan's slapstick words, his wavering thoughts were instantly extinguished.

King Zhao didn't want to look at Yu Qing again, and even the veteran Lian Po who was still standing in the court hall seemed very impatient.

He waved his hands and said in a vicious voice, "Yu Qing and Lian Po, step back! What face will a defeated general have and continue to fight against Qin, not to mention nothing, you can't even fight against Wang Gan."

Lian Po's face turned pale, this veteran Zhao Guo who had fought for many years couldn't accept what Zhao Wang said at all, and his tall and strong body shook unceasingly.

Suddenly, Lian Po suddenly fell to the ground and passed out.

Zhao Wang was taken aback by Lian Po.

But when he thought about why Lian Po fainted, he immediately became furious, and shouted loudly in dissatisfaction: "Send General Lian Po home. Since he is old, let him take his place and recuperate."

What else did Yu Qing want to say.

But after hearing Zhao Wang's treatment of Lian Po, he sighed deeply, disappointed in Zhao Wang, and withdrew from the palace with the lifted Lian Po.

It took a long time for Lian Po to wake up in his mansion, and when he heard Zhao Wang's treatment of him, he vomited a mouthful of blood and laughed loudly: "If you have a king like this, heaven will destroy Zhao!"

Before his family could react, Lian Po had already picked up the weapon he had in hand and slashed his neck open, before falling back on the bed and dying of exhaustion.

The people in Lian Po's house were crying all of a sudden.

In less than half a day, the news that Lian Po was so angry with Zhao Wang that he committed suicide had spread in Zhao State, causing panic among the people, and no one dared to fight.

After Lou Huan got the news, he touched the gold and silver visited in the cellar, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing if a Lian Po dies. I, Zhao Guoliang, will be born in many generations, and I still need him as an old man who is dying."

Without even thinking about it, he sent someone to Tang Sui's home to send the news that he had successfully persuaded King Zhao to give up fighting against Qin on the wooden slips.

After Tang Sui got the news, he immediately spread the news back to the country happily, which made King Qin very excited.

Ying Zheng sat beside him to share the good news, but there was no smile on Ying Zheng's face.

It has been five months since the last conversation, but when Qin Zichu was called into the palace, he never turned to see him.

Ying Zheng clenched his fists and said in his heart: You can escape for a while, can you escape for a lifetime?

Sooner or later, you will return to this Xianyang Palace and inherit the throne!

When the time comes, I want to know where you dare to hide!
