Chapter 131 Ying Zheng is happy, Xia Wuqi is shocked!

In order to become the king who opens up new territories!

Zhao Yan prepared for a long time and did not hesitate to mobilize the power of the whole country.

In order to destroy Yan, he even went to Qin to sign an alliance with Ying Zheng. At that time, he thought that Ying Zheng was really going to beg him for an alliance, and he was afraid that Zhao would attack Qin.

But now it seems.

It's all a scam.

Ying Zheng's purpose was to deceive him and let him attack Yan without any worries, and then while Zhao State was dividing its troops, Qin State launched troops against him.

Think of this.

The anger in Zhao Yan's heart could not be concealed.

hatred!

He hates Ying Zheng so much!

I wish I could cut Ying Zheng into pieces.

The chaos in Yingchuan County and the alliance seeking are all part of a scheme.

Lure him into a trap.

This made him, who always considered himself better than Ying Zheng, full of anger and annoyance.

"General Pang Nuan can definitely annihilate the Qin army." Guo Kai agreed again.

Regarding Pang Nuan's ability.

The ministers in the court were not surprised.

With Lian Po's death.

Pang Nuan has become the most senior veteran in the Zhao Kingdom.

Even Li Mu can't compare.

So as Zhao Jun returned to support, Zhao Yi didn't say much to refute Zhao Yan.

"How is the war situation in Daichi?" Zhao Yan asked.

His eyes fell on Zhao Yi.

"Return to the king."

"The battle in Daidi was still in its turmoil. General Li Mu led his army out of the city to attack the Qin army with the power of cavalry. Our great Zhao Hufu cavalry and shooting became famous all over the world, but the Qin general Meng Wu did not fight with General Li Mu. It’s been retreating.”

"Now General Li Mu has reached the Qin border." Zhao Yan stood up and reported.

"If Ying Zheng attacks our country, Zhao, then our country, Zhao, can also attack Qin."

"Pass the imperial edict."

"Let Li Mu attack and break the border city in the northern border of Qin State." Zhao Yan said immediately.

At this moment he was blinded by hatred.

"Your Majesty."

"Absolutely not."

"My frontier army is mostly made up of cavalry. They are good at cavalry combat, but they are not good at attacking cities."

"And the purpose of the Qin army is to hold back General Li Mu and our Zhao 200,000 border troops."

"Once we really invade the Qin territory, we will be trapped in it." Zhao Yan said immediately.

He was really afraid that Zhao Yan would really lose his mind, so he just let Li Mu attack.

"snort."

Zhao Yan snorted coldly but did not act impulsively again.

Just then!

"Report!"

"Urgent report from Wu'an."

A messenger quickly rushed into the hall.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Yan felt uneasy in his heart and asked immediately.

"Wu'an City fell."

"General Pang Nuan requested the king to quickly mobilize the army to protect Handan."

"Now the general is fighting and retreating. He will do his best to hold back the Qin army and preserve the troops guarding Handan." The messenger knelt on the ground and reported.

Hear this!

Zhao Yan's expression suddenly changed. He who was sitting firmly on the throne trembled and stood up. His face also turned pale: "How could that be?"

"How many days has it been?"

"How could the Qin army be so powerful? General Pang couldn't stop it?"

"The old general continued to attack the Yan State without any defeat. How could he be defeated in the face of the Qin Army?"

Zhao Yan's voice became trembling.

No matter how ignorant he is, he still understands that Wu'an City is only a hundred miles away from Handan City. This is his last barrier in Handan.

"With an army of 300,000, the Qin army only attacked yesterday, which means that General Pang Lao could only defend the city for one day before the Qin army broke through the city."

"How could this happen?" Zhao Yi was also shocked at this moment.

This is the case.

No one expected it.

"Your Majesty."

"Wu'an City is the last barrier to defend Handan. Now that Wu'an City is broken, our Handan is in danger."

"While the Qin army has not yet attacked, withdraw into Daidi and use Daidi as the cornerstone of defense." A minister immediately stood up and announced loudly.

And his proposal was approved by many ministers.

"I second the proposal."

"As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."

"Now that the Qin army has conquered Wu'an City, Handan no longer has any defensive barriers. They can only retreat to Daidi. With the strength of General Pang and General Li Mu, they can guard Daidi without losing it."

"This is how we can preserve our great Zhao foundation."

Several more Minister Zhao stood up and asked for orders.

For many nobles, family interests are of the utmost importance. They don't care at all about losing their country or escaping from the capital. As long as their family is there, their power is there, and their wealth is there, they don't care about anything.

And there are such people in every era.

now.

Even Zhao Yan did not speak out against the evacuation of Handan.

Zhao State.

It is formed by connecting Zhao Di and Dai Di.

Dai Di was the territory opened up by King Wuling of Zhao in the past. He destroyed Dai State and merged with Zhao. Compared with Zhao Di, Dai Di had half the territory and a population of nearly 10 million.

The land of Dai is also half of the State of Zhao.

It's just that the dignitaries of Zhao State have not paid as much attention to Dai Di as the Zhao Di to which they belong, and they even exclude officials from Dai Di.

Li Mu is the best among them.

Although he is a high-ranking general in the Zhao Kingdom, he is not allowed to truly enter the Zhao Kingdom's inner circle.

"You must not evacuate Handan."

"Handan is the capital of our great Zhao State. If we abandon the capital, where will the tens of millions of people in our Zhao land survive? Do we have to hand over Zhao land to Qin?"

"Old General Pang Nuan has said that he will hold back the Qin army and let the king mobilize troops to guard Handan."

"As long as Handan is not destroyed, I will not lose the land of Zhao."

"In the past, when Ying Ji of the Qin State was still alive, our country, Zhao, was severely damaged by Changping and its national power declined greatly. The Qin army also attacked our Handan city. But in the end, our army and people of Zhao were united, defended Handan, and forced the Qin army Withdrew from Handan."

"Compared with the national strength that Changping suffered greatly in the past, our national strength is now stronger than that of Zhao."

"Why fear Qin?" A minister from Zhao Jiuqing stood up and said.

The words fell.

It also attracted the support of many courtiers.

"I second the proposal."

"Handan has been the capital of Zhao Dynasty for hundreds of years. Even in the most difficult times, Zhao has never given up on Handan. As long as Handan is guarded, Qin will definitely not be able to destroy Zhao."

"I am willing to fight Qin to the death."

"Swear to defend Handan to the death." Zhao Chen shouted loudly.

Watching the quarrel between the two factions in the court.

One faction wants to evacuate to Daidi.

One group wants to stay behind.

Zhao Yan's expression at the moment was also extremely complicated, and he didn't know what was going on.

certainly.

In his heart, he still prefers to flee to Dai Di. After all, there are more than 200,000 troops there, plus Zhao Di's nearly 300,000 troops, which is enough to guard Dai Di without losing. But if we defend here, the result will be Not necessarily.

"I think it is a safe strategy to withdraw to Daidai." Zhao Yan stood up and suggested at this moment.

Hearing Zhao Yi's words.

Zhao Yan frowned and immediately had an idea: "Li Mu, like that old guy Lian Po, once supported Zhao Yi as king. Li Mu has a very high reputation in Daidi and holds military power. If I really After going to Daidi, it would not be a good thing if Li Mu rebelled. "

"Even if we want to withdraw, we must take away Li Mu's military power."

Think of this.

Zhao Yan made a decision immediately.

immediately.

Zhao Yan turned his attention to Guo Kai: "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

All the courtiers in the hall turned their attention to Guo Kai.

Obviously.

Almost everyone can imagine Guo Kai's choice.

Everyone knows that Guo Kai is greedy for life and afraid of death. At this moment, Guo Kai will inevitably choose to flee to Dai Di.

"Return to the king."

"I think so."

"We should guard Handan and fight the Qin army to the end."

"In the past, I, Zhao, was able to defend it, and now I can do the same under the leadership of your king."

"Zhao is invincible!" Guo Kai stood up and said loudly.

As soon as these words fell.

All the Zhao ministers in the dynasty looked at Guo Kai in stunned silence.

Even Zhao Yi.

Everyone found it very strange.

"What happened today?"

"Guo Kai, who is most greedy for life and afraid of death, is not afraid of death, and still supports staying in Handan?"

"This must be the sun rising in the west."

"Guo Kai took the wrong medicine today."

"How could he agree to defend?"

Many ministers looked on in shock, completely unaware that Guo Kai would agree to defend Handan.

Under the surprised gazes of the officials, Guo happily sneered: "The King of Qin has said that Zhao Yan cannot be allowed to escape to Daidi under any circumstances. This is a great achievement and is related to my future wealth and glory."

Seeing Guo Kai guarding Handan so firmly.

A strange look flashed in Zhao Yan's eyes, and then he thought: "It seems that the Prime Minister thought that Li Mu's military power would be a threat to us, so he said he would stick to Handan. Only in this way, we will have the opportunity to take Li Mu's military power. Taken away."

Think of this.

Zhao Yan was certain in his heart and gave Guo Kai a look that only he could understand.

Then he said loudly: "The prime minister has such a heart to serve the country. This is a blessing for me and the great Zhao."

"I have decided."

"Defend to Handan and fight the Qin army to the end."

"But before that, we must allocate troops and horses to support Handan." Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.

"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."

"There are still 200,000 border troops and nearly 100,000 county soldiers in Dai." Guo Kai said loudly.

"What the Prime Minister said is reasonable. There are not many Qin troops attacking Dai. As long as the border is stabilized, the Qin army will never be able to break through."

"Moreover, our Zhao cavalry is the best in the world, and our Hufu cavalry and archery are the best in the world. This cannot be compared with the Qin cavalry."

"As long as one hundred thousand Hufu cavalry and archers are left to guard the Dai territory, the Dai territory will not be lost." A minister from Guo Kaiyi Party announced loudly.

"I second the proposal."

"Moreover, General Li Mu needs to personally lead his army to come to the rescue, so that the Qin army can be driven back." Guo Kai said immediately.

Watching Guo Kai and his followers singing along.

Zhao Yan wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to refute.

After all, Handan is now in danger.

"Prepared imperial edict."

"Summon Li Mu back." Zhao Yan immediately issued an edict.

Wait until the meeting is over.

In Zhao Yan's palace.

"Prime Minister, you are extremely loyal to me."

"You know that if I go to Daidi, I may be threatened by Li Mu. After all, he has always supported Zhao Yi."

"If he uses military power to force me to abdicate, I will be doomed."

"In all the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, only the prime minister is considerate of others." Zhao Yan looked at Guo Kaidao with a moved expression.

Listen to this.

Guo Kaixin was also confused.

But he quickly came back to his senses: "Your Majesty is a wise king, and I swear to serve your Majesty to the death."

"I have issued an edict to send Yan Ju to Daidi to take over Li Mu's military power."

"In addition, let Li Mu return to Handan first."

"He does have the ability to command troops, but he must be controlled by others." Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty."

"After all, Li Mu is in charge of more than 200,000 troops. What if he doesn't want to?" Guo Kai asked immediately.

Zhao Yan frowned: "Only Prime Minister you can handle this matter personally. If he doesn't hand over his military power..."

Zhao Yan paused, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Guo Kaixin was overjoyed and immediately said: "I understand."

Xianyang!

The main hall of the royal palace.

"Cai, it's really Cai!"

"Pang Nuan commanded 300,000 troops to guard Wu'an City."

"One day, just one day."

"We, the Great Qin Dynasty, defeated Wu'an City, which was so heavily defended."

"After Wu'an City is Handan, which is only a hundred miles apart."

"Zhao's death is a foregone conclusion."

Ying Zheng laughed and cheered.

He holds the battle report in his hand, and you can see how happy he is at this moment.

"Your Majesty."

"Judging from this battle report."

"General Zhao Feng has won the first victory in destroying Wu'an City this time."

"He took the lead and conquered the west city before Zhao's defense line collapsed in the city."

"This credit belongs to General Zhao Feng." Wei Liao started with a big smile.

"My great Qin will reward you for your merits."

"Wei Qing, please record this merit to Zhao Feng."

"After Zhao is defeated, we will give you a reward together." Ying Zheng said with a big smile.

Wu'an city was broken, Handan was in sight, and Zhao was in sight.

Ying Zheng also looked extremely excited.

All the humiliation of childhood will be washed away.

"Your Majesty, Shengming." Wei Liao shouted loudly.

"This time my Qin Rui soldiers are approaching the city, it's time to go to Handan."

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time." Ying Zheng said slowly with a sharp look on his face.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this."

"The Kingdom of Zhao has not yet been completely destroyed."

"Handan has never been conquered."

"Your Majesty, please do not go to this war-torn place." Wang Wan immediately stood up to persuade.

"Father, you must never go to the Kingdom of Zhao." Fusu also immediately stood up to persuade him.

"Please, Your Majesty, take back your order."

All civil and military officials in the court shouted loudly.

Ying Zheng, on the other hand, had a calm expression and raised his hand.

The shouts in the hall fell silent instantly.

"When I was young, I was held hostage in the Kingdom of Zhao. I endured unimaginable torture and humiliation."

"When I left the Kingdom of Zhao, I secretly swore that I would return to the Kingdom of Zhao as a king one day."

"Destroy Zhao!"

"In addition to inheriting the great wish of the previous kings to unify the world, there is also the private anger in Gu's heart."

"Now that our Qin army is approaching Handan, I have to go there no matter what." Ying Zheng said slowly.

Hear this tone.

All civil and military officials in the dynasty clearly understood this.

Ying Zheng has already made up his mind and cannot change it.

"If the king goes to Handan, what will happen to the state affairs?"

Wang Wan rolled his eyes and immediately stood up and asked.

Obviously.

This old fox like him has some thoughts in his heart.

If Yingzheng leaves the country and Fusu is in charge of the government, this will invisibly establish Fusu's status.

For Fusu.

This is definitely a good thing.

"I won't be away for more than a month."

"Government affairs are decided by four people: Prime Minister Wang, Prime Minister Wei, Internal Secretary, and Tingwei."

"As for the review, let Wei Qing review it." Ying Zheng said slowly.

Everyone whose name was called was delighted.

But deep down in Wang Wan and Wei Xiang's hearts, they felt a little disappointed at this moment.

Because Ying Zheng did not let Fu Su manage the government, this means that Fu Su's status in Ying Zheng's heart did not reach that of a prince.

"I will receive the edict."

Several courtiers who were named stood up and respectfully took orders.

"I wonder when your Majesty will set off?"

Wei Liao asked respectfully.

"Let's set off tomorrow." Ying Zheng said slowly.

"I wonder how many guards are accompanying us?" Wei Liao asked.

"Five thousand people are enough." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

"When the king is traveling, are the five thousand imperial guards missing?" Wei Liao was a little worried.

It is not only the concern of a minister for his master, but also the concern of one collaborator for another collaborator.

In Wei Liao's opinion.

The only person in the world who can unify the world is Ying Zheng. If Ying Zheng is in danger, unification will be shelved.

"There are 300,000 warriors in the Zhao Kingdom. How can they not protect me?"

"Okay, no more words needed."

"If there is no original memorial, the dynasty will be dismissed." Ying Zheng laughed loudly.

He turned around and left the hall directly.

Inside Zhangtai Palace!

It was rare for Ying Zheng not to review the memorial, but Wei Liao stood in front of him.

"Wei Qing."

"This time of isolation is equivalent to handing over the power of supervising the country to you."

"For Wang Wan, Li Si and the others, you have to make a balancing act."

"If they fight, let them fight, as long as it doesn't affect our country, Great Qin."

"In short, you don't need to be afraid of them. Everything is done alone." Ying Zheng explained to Wei Liao.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"I will definitely take care of it." Wei Liao assured immediately.

"With you, I can rest assured." Ying Zheng smiled slightly.

Then he said: "Yan Guo, there should be some movement, right?"

"There is indeed some movement in the Yan Kingdom. They have stationed troops at the border of Zhao Yan. They seem to have some ideas." Wei Liao sneered.

"Yan Dan is indeed a naive and thoughtful person."

"You are so naive that you want to snatch meat from Zi Gu's hands." Ying Zheng sneered.

Yan State stationed troops on the border, ready to move, how could it escape the intelligence of the Qin State.

Ying Zheng naturally saw through Yan State's purpose at a glance.

"My king, how should we deal with Yan State?" Wei Liao asked.

"Will I let my Qin State's meat be taken away by others?" Ying Zheng smiled coldly, and then said: "After conquering Handan, Yan State will definitely mobilize troops against Zhao and seize Zhao's cities. As long as they dare to take it, I will dare to destroy them."

"Take meat from my mouth, I want to see if Yan State dares to fight against my Qin State."

Wei Liao smiled: "My king is wise."

At this time!

"Imperial Physician Xia is here." Zhao Gao's shout rang out outside the hall.

Ying Zheng and Wei Liao immediately looked outside the hall.

I saw Xia Wuqie, dressed in the official robe of the imperial physician, slowly walked into the hall.

"Meet the king."

Xia Wuqie bowed.

"Imperial Physician Xia."

Wei Liao smiled at Xia Wuqie with a fist.

"Wei Qing, if there is nothing else, you can go back and prepare."

"You will have to work hard for a while." Ying Zheng said.

"I will take my leave." Wei Liao did not say much, bowed, turned around and left Zhangtai Palace.

After Wei Liao left.

Ying Zheng glanced at Zhao Gao at the door of the palace.

"I will take my leave." Zhao Gao's heart trembled, and he immediately closed the palace door.

"Father-in-law."

"Tomorrow I will leave for Zhao State. I asked my father-in-law to come here today because I want him to go with me." Ying Zheng smiled and said.

"Is Handan going to be captured?" Xia Wuqi was slightly surprised.

"Soon."

"Handan will be captured within a month." Ying Zheng said confidently.

"Since the king invited you."

"I will naturally go with you." Xia Wuqi smiled slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Father-in-law."

"Maybe Dong'er will be in Handan."

"Handan is the last place she may be hiding in the world."

"After conquering Handan, I will definitely order a search of the entire city." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I hope so."

Xia Wuqi smiled slightly, but this smile was also bitter.

When he heard what Zhao Ji said that day, Xia Wuqi's heart was already extremely gloomy.

It's just that he still didn't want to believe it.

He is old, how could he think that his daughter was harmed by Zhao Ji?

And.

If it was really harmed by Zhao Ji, how could Xia Wuqi have the heart to say it again.

If he told Ying Zheng again.

Then his biological mother not only betrayed him at the beginning, but also killed his most beloved woman.

Then Ying Zheng really couldn't bear it.

"Father-in-law."

"You go back today and prepare well."

"Let's set off tomorrow." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

In front of Xia Wuqi.

Ying Zheng also seemed very happy at this moment.

Handan.

He is about to take revenge.

There is still a chance to find the woman he loves most.

Even if there is only this little hope, Ying Zheng will grab it all.

This is also the thought in his heart.

Why is there no queen in the Qin Dynasty?

The courtiers who experienced it at the time may understand.

Why is there no prince in the Qin Dynasty?

Those courtiers also understand that if the woman was still there, she would have been the queen of the Qin Dynasty. If she gave birth to a child, she would have been the prince.

For Ying Zheng.

Only everything about that woman is important.

"This time I go to Handan, it's just right for me to meet my disciple."

"Since the attack on Han, I haven't seen Master Chen for a long time." Xia Wuqi smiled slightly.

"Master Chen is a military doctor accompanying the army in the Lantian camp. After the destruction of Zhao, he can also be promoted to the imperial physician." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"I thank the king on behalf of this useless disciple." Xia Wuqi did not refuse.

Becoming an imperial physician is what his disciple wants in his heart.

"Father-in-law, you are too polite."

"I am not partial. Master Chen deserves all this."

"He has made great contributions as the chief military doctor in Lantian over the years." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Speaking of contributions."

"I am even more curious about Zhao Feng."

"The medical method he created has saved countless wounded soldiers, and he is still so young. When I go to Zhao this time, I must meet him in person." Xia Wuqie said with a smile.

"Don't say that father-in-law is curious about this boy. I am the same."

"At the age of 18, he defeated Wei Wuji, killed Lian Po, and shocked the world."

"Even the former Wu'an Jun did not achieve such an achievement at such an age." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Perhaps this is also the will of heaven, so that the king will have a Wu'an Jun to assist him in the future." Xia Wuqie stroked his beard and smiled.

"That's right."

"In the past, King Zhaoxiang appointed Wu'an Jun as his commander, but he eventually executed Wu'an Jun. If Zhao Feng really belonged to me, I would never do that." Ying Zheng said confidently.

For Zhao Feng.

He really valued him that much.

...
