Chapter 131： Ying Zheng is happy, Xia Wuji is shocked!

Chapter 131: Ying Zheng’s joy, Xia Wuji’s surprise!

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 still thought that Ying Zheng was really asking him to form 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.

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

"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.

Zhao Yan's voice became trembling.

"How many days has it been?"

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

Hear this!

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

"Pass the imperial edict."

"Urgent report from Wu'an."

"Return to the king."

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

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

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

"The war 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 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.”

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

"What's the matter?"

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

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

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

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

Even Li Mu can't compare.

Zhao Yan felt uneasy in his heart and asked immediately.

"Your Majesty."

The ministers in the court were not surprised.

His eyes fell on Zhao Yi.

"Wu'an City fell."

With Lian Po's death.

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

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 it be?"

"Absolutely not."

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

A messenger quickly rushed into the hall.

Lure him into a trap.

Regarding Pang Nuan's ability.

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

"snort."

Zhao Yan snorted coldly but did not act impulsively again.

At this moment he was blinded by hatred.

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

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

Just then!

"Report!"

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 three hundred thousand, 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 my opinion."

"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, how will the tens of millions of people of 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, suffered great losses from 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, guarded 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 is still inclined to flee to Dai Di. After all, there are more than 200,000 troops there, plus Zhao Di's nearly 300,000, 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 is it 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 away." 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 my opinion."

"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, then 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 military power..."

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

Guo Kaixin was overjoyed and said immediately: "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 once again 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 the 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 country's 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 manages 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 travels, 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 **** meat from Zi Gu's hands." Ying Zheng sneered.

The Yan State stationed troops on the border and was ready to move, how could they escape Da Qin's intelligence.

Naturally, Ying Zheng could see through Yan Guo's purpose at a glance.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the Yan Kingdom?" Wei Liao asked.

"Could it be that Gu would let my Qin body be taken away by others?" Ying Zheng smiled coldly, and then said: "After conquering Handan, the Yan State will definitely launch troops against Zhao and seize Zhao's cities. As long as he dares to seize it, Gu will dare to destroy it. They came to attack.”

"Seizing meat from Gu's mouth, Gu Dao wants to see if his Yan country dares to fight against Gu's Great Qin."

Wei Liao smiled: "Your Majesty, Shengming."

At this time!

"Doctor Xia is here." Zhao Gao shouted outside the palace.

Ying Zheng and Wei Liao immediately looked outside the hall.

I saw Xia Wuji, dressed in the official robe of an imperial physician, walking slowly into the main hall.

"I've met the king."

Xia Wuji bowed.

"Doctor Xia."

Wei Liao cupped his fists and smiled at Xia Wuji.

"Wei Qing, if nothing happens, you can go back and prepare."

"You will have to work hard in the next period of time." Ying Zheng said.

"I excuse myself." Wei Liao didn't say much, bowed, turned and left Zhangtai Palace.

After Wei Liao left.

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

"My slave, please leave." Zhao Gao's heart trembled, and he immediately closed the palace door.

"father in law."

"Tomorrow I will leave for the Kingdom of Zhao. I called my father-in-law here today because I want him to go with me." Ying Zheng said with a slight smile.

"Is Handan going to be conquered?" Xia Wuji was slightly surprised.

"Soon."

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

"Since the king invites you."

"Old minister, I will naturally accompany you." Xia Wuji smiled slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"father in law."

"Maybe Dong'er will be in Handan."

"The last possible place in the world for her to be found is Handan."

"This time we conquer Handan, I will definitely order a search of the entire city." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"I hope so."

Xia Wuji smiled slightly, but this smile also contained a bitterness.

After hearing what Zhao Ji said that day, Xia Wuji's heart was already extremely gloomy.

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

He is already old, how could he think of his daughter being harmed by Zhao Ji?

and.

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

If you tell Ying Zheng again.

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

Ying Zheng really couldn't bear it.

"father in law."

"You go back and prepare yourself today."

"We will set off tomorrow." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

In front of Xia Wuji.

Ying Zheng also seemed very happy at this moment.

Handan.

He's about to get his revenge.

There is also a chance to find the woman you love most.

Even if there was only this little hope, Ying Zheng grasped it all.

This was also what he had in mind.

There is no queen in Da Qin, why is there no queen?

The courtiers who experienced it at the time may understand.

There is no prince in Da Qin, why is there no prince?

Those court officials also understood that if the woman was still alive, she would already be the queen of Qin. If she gave birth to an heir, she would definitely be the prince.

For Ying Zheng.

Only everything about that woman matters.

"This time I go to Handan, it just so happens that I can meet the disciple of Lao Chen."

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

"Master Chen, as a military doctor with the Lantian Camp, can be promoted to an imperial physician after the defeat of Zhao." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"I would like to thank the king for this useless disciple." Xia Wuji did not refuse.

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

"Father-in-law, you're welcome."

"I am not showing favoritism. Master Chen deserves all this."

"His contribution as the chief military doctor in Lantian over the years is not small." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Speak of contribution."

"Old minister is even more curious about Zhao Feng."

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

"Don't tell me that my father-in-law is curious about this son, I am too."

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

"Even the former Lord Wu An never achieved such achievements at such an age." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Perhaps this is also God's will, so that the king will have a Wu'an Lord to assist him in the future." Xia Wuji smiled while stroking his beard.

"exactly."

"In the past, King Zhaoxiang took Lord Wu An as his commander, but he eventually executed Lord Wu An. If Zhao Feng really belonged to Gu's Lord Wu An, Gu Jian would definitely not be like this." Ying Zheng said very confidently.

For Zhao Feng.

He indeed valued it that much.
