Chapter Nineteen or

The most exciting thing that made Zhao Zheng the most during this period was the Battle of the Sand Sea and the fiercely killed King Jing. The victory of the Battle of the Sand Sea determined that the Qin State's unification of the world could no longer be stopped. The death of King Jing means that the Jing people could not restore the country immediately before the next King Jing was crowned.

Both things are related to the life and death of Qin. The defeat of the sand sea battle will no longer exist, and the death of King Jing delays the restoration of the Jing people. The news from Xinying shows that the Jing people have made the son of King Jing Xiong Sheng the king. Xiong Sheng is only three years old this year. It is often said that the ruler is suspicious and the ministers have not attached it. The Jing people will restore the country at the fastest twenty years later. The Qin people have time.

But if King Jing was not dead, the situation would be different. For the Jing people, the defeat of the Shahai was not a crime of war, but the destiny of heaven was in Qin. If the Jing people had not broken the iron at that time, how could the Qin army win? In the news received by the Guowei Mansion, the Jing people all thought of King Jing, and no one thought that the defeat of the Shahai was a crime of King Jing. If King Jing was really not dead...

Guanzhong was still cold in February, with several braziers burning inside the bedroom, and the Mingtang was as warm as spring. But Zhao Zheng, who thought that King Jing was not dead, couldn't help but shivered. Before King Jing was dead, the people of Jing gathered another 100,000 troops from Penglai to cross the sea to counterattack the world. Can the Qin army win again? If the Qin army cannot win again, how can the Qin army survive?

In the Battle of the Sand Sea, the destiny was in Qin, so Zhao Zheng was confident. When he thought that King Jing was not dead, and when he thought that the people of Jing restored the country, he suddenly became less confident. Confidence was based on the basis of force, perhaps his own force or the force of others, but no matter who it is, it was essentially force. Although Zhao Zheng was not as clear as Wang Jian, the comparison between the forces between Qin and Jing, he could still feel the difference in the force between the two countries. Once King Jing led the army to restore the country without death, the Qin army was not sure of victory.

In the Mingtang, Zhao Zhengshen wandered outside, thinking about what would happen before King Jing was dead. Outside the hall, the right prime minister Wang Wan, the court guard Li Si, and the great craftsman Yan Wuyi and others hurriedly climbed the stairs. After entering the hall, Wang Wan bowed quickly and said, "Your Majesty, the head should be King Jing."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Zhao Zheng was so happy when he heard this. He saw that Li Si and Yan Wuyi were following Wang Wan. The craftsman behind Yan Wuyi held the huge armor that killed Queen Jing took off from him.

"The Marquis of Qi once said that the master armor worn by King Jing was made by him, and he would not break when he was cold. Now the great craftsman shot it with a strong crossbow, and his armor clothes would not be broken." Hearing that King Jing was not dead, Wang Wan was so scared that he could not sleep at night. King Jing had been buried in the sand sea, so he still ordered people to send his head to Xianyang in a hurry. In addition, the Tingwei Mansion read the bamboo slips related to this matter, and finally thought of a way to test the master armor.

Zaras, a native of Baidi, once said that when King Jing attacked the shogunate, he led his men to shoot King Jing with a powerful crossbow. King Jing fell off his horse by arrows. The cavalryman said that King Jing was wearing huge armor and did not know what was made of it, and he would not break when he encountered cold. The two fought under the moon, and he stabbed King Jing to death and let him fall off his horse, and then killed him. One of the two must have been false about the words of the two. The captured King Jing armor was in Xianyang, so Li Si asked for a try.

"Is the armor coat not torn?!" Zhao Zheng looked at the huge armor in Yan Wuyi's hand incredible. There was a deep depression on the armor coat, which was indeed not broken.

"The King of Jing's armor and armor were carefully examined, and the front chest had been replaced with armor pieces. It was indeed as the lord of Qihou said, and I don't know what was made, which was different from the usual giant armor. However..." Yan Wuyi looked at Wang Wan, Li Si glanced at him and said, "However, the powerful crossbow can be broken if it shoots a hundred steps outside, and it can be broken within a hundred steps."

Distance is the most important thing, and it is meaningless to say that breaking armor is away from distance. Wang Wan and others are civil officials, and they are not very clear about the impact of distance on breaking armor. Yan Wuyi is the chief craftsman after all, and he knows very well that the farther the distance, the weaker the armor-breaking ability. Zhao Zheng's originally hung heart fell, and he immediately raised it when he heard this. He asked anxiously: "When the Bai Di people shot King Jing, were leaning a hundred steps away from a hundred steps away?"

"Report to the king, the eldest son of the chief minister is not sure, and Zaras, the Baidi man, has gone west..." Li Si replied. He had asked Fusu before he came. Fusu's answer was very simple, he just forgot. Not only did he not remember how far Zaras was behind him, he even forgot the whole thing.

"I ordered someone to ask me quickly!" Zhao Zheng didn't care about Fusu, because Fusu didn't know about military affairs.

"I have ordered someone to ask the Baidi people as soon as possible." Li Si answered Yan Wuyi and said again: "There is another thing. If there is still no such thing as Jing King Jujia..."

Of course, Mo Xiangjia and Zhao Zheng knew that he was in danger twice and was able to survive by relying on Mo Xiangjia. He said, "What about Mo Xiangjia?"

"Don't look at the Jia..." Yan Wuyi endured the words for a moment before saying, "After the cavalry marquis killed King Jing, don't look at the Jia. If Mo Xiang Jia was so big, I don't know what to do with armor. I am afraid that fifty steps will not break the armor..."

Yan Wuyi was impressed by the hardness and toughness of Nickel, so he overestimated Mo Xiangjia's protection, but his judgment inevitably made Wang Wan have some hope. Wang Wan said: "The State Wei Mansion has reported that the Jing people have made King Jing's son the king in Penglai, and King Jing is indeed dead. The Baidi people shot King Jing with a strong crossbow. King Jing fell to the ground with an arrow, but the armor was not broken. The king should know that the armor was built, and the arrow was inserted into it, and the soldiers were not damaged. Therefore, I thought that King Jing fell off his horse at that time, but his armor was not broken. After returning to the camp, he saw that the situation was unsuccessful, so he escaped at night and killed him as a cavalry and marquis."

"Or it." Wang Wan outlined the whole story, but Li Si was not sure of it, and only said or not.

Yan Wuyi said, "That night, our army broke through the camp, and the Jing people fled everywhere. Even if King Jing was not dead, he would not see him. If King Jing had not died, why did Penglai make his son the king? It can be seen that the Jing people did not know the life and death of King Jing."

Wang Wan was sure that King Jing was dead, but Li Si was not sure, but Yan Wuyi had a certain tendency. He had never seen Ni-Mao Jia, and the destruction of a king of a country was a major event. The battle of the Shahai has been more than a month since then. If King Jing was still alive, why didn't he return to Shouying and Penglai?

Two of the three ministers confirmed that King Jing was dead, and one was not sure. Zhao Zheng hoped that King Wan was right, but he did not dare to take it lightly. He had to wait until Mo Xiangjia, who was on the stalker, returned to Xianyang and tried again. Then there was the words of Bai Di people. How far did he shoot King Jing? Is it a hundred steps, seventy steps, fifty steps, thirty steps, or ten steps?

If the crossbow arrow really shot King Jing at that time, then the one who fought to kill King Jing might be Xiong Han. According to Zhao Yong's recollection, Zhang Han almost mistakenly thought King Jing's brother Xiong Han for King Jing's. Afterwards, King Jing arrived and found out that he had recognized the wrong person.

It is impossible for the younger brother to be mistakenly recognized as his elder brother. Changping Jun Xiong Qi, Changwen Jun Xiong Meng, these two brothers may have admitted their mistakes if they are not very familiar with them. Wang Wan, Li Si, Mao Jiao and others have met King Jing, but that was King Jing five years ago. The young man's appearance has changed a lot in five years. They have never seen King Jing's brother Xiong Han, so it is not impossible to admit his mistakes.

After the ministers retreated, Zhao Zheng was no longer interested in dealing with government affairs, and kept thinking about various possibilities in his mind. The Shouying Grand Sima Mansion, more than two thousand miles away, Naojiu summoned the generals of the army to lead the army to discuss the matter at night. At this time, the defenders were less than 20,000 and had to retreat to the royal city. In February, the Huai River and the fat water thawed, but the Qin army had already attacked the city, and no matter how wide the city was, it would all fail. At present, the only thing the defenders could do was nailed to the Shouying royal city, and delayed the Qin army's journey south until March for hundreds of thousands of boys, tens of thousands of craftsmen and their families behind him.

The royal city is difficult to break. What the generals are really worried about is that the Qin army bypasses the royal city and goes south along the Yinglu Canal, or the Qin army's boat troops in Shaohai. The newly built warships of Xianyang Shaofu went south to Yue. According to previous reports, the Xianyang Shaofu can build one or two battleships and hundreds of warships a month. It has been one month since the battle of the sand sea. After another month, the monsoon turns, and the Qin boat troops will definitely go south.

The situation is getting more and more critical, and the military discussion does not give people much hope. Instead, it makes the generals worry. Before the military discussion is over, don't let me break in again, saying that there is an urgent matter, Naojiu can only announce the end of the military discussion and let the generals return to the camp.

After the generals retreated, Li Qi did not retreat. Don’t let me avoid Li Qi. He took a deep breath and asked, “Is Da Ao not dead?”

"Where did you know that Da Ao is not dead?" Nao Ji was not good at lying, so he could only ask back. However, in my eyes, his question confirmed that Xiong Jing was not dead.

"The plan of the military Sima has been broken. The King of Qin has known that the person he killed is a fierce prince, not a big ao." Wuzhi naturally put a trap and stared at Nao's face without any relaxation.

"That's true?!" Naojiu was indeed deceived as expected. He ignored Li Qi's cough and said anxiously: "How do the Qin people know?"

"That's true! Da Ao is not dead?!" I was finally sure that the news from Hou Ji was true, and the people immediately became excited.

Li Qi looked at Naojiu and had no choice but to be fooled. Since he had said this, there was no need to hide it from me. He said: "The Grand Sima Mansion only knew that Da Ao had not died that night, but did not know where Da Ao was? General Xiang said: 'Those who died under the Qin sword that night were fierce princes, not Da Ao. At that time, Da Ao stayed in the medical camp and had not broken up and ran away.'"

"I haven't been defeated and rush away? Where is the big ao?" Don't let me see the description of the generals' night on the sand sea before coming.

The coalition array saw the phoenix flag collapsed behind it, and some soldiers rushed forward and some soldiers ran away. The runners quickly returned to the camp, but Wang Jian did not avoid Qi Han and ordered the Qin army to cross the gutter to pursue it, and finally attacked the camp, forcing the collapsed soldiers to gallop overnight. The collapse of the formation was a matter of front and back, and the collapsed circumference was different. Some people walked first and some people walked later. Although there was a fire, it was difficult to distinguish under the night sky.

The generals and soldiers who escaped did not mention Xiong Jing's breakthrough, only Xiang Liang mentioned this matter. This is also the place where Naoji and Li Qi are confused. He also learned that Yingli and the injured soldiers died ten days ago. Could it be that he died to be buried with the king?

Don't let anyone answer my question. The only thing they can be sure of was that Xiong Jing did not break out that night and stayed in the medical camp. After that, they had no idea what happened in the past twenty days after the injured and died.
