Chapter 18 All Defeat
The Yishui River in April is still cold. If history has not changed, nine years later, the place where Prince Dan of Yan sent Jing Ke to Qin, the military flag of Zhao State was floating in the spring breeze. Qin State did not dare to provoke him, and he was not afraid to attack the Zhao army of Yan State. Besides, the south side lost the north side. The Yangcheng area west of the Yishui Great Wall was already in his mouth by Zhao State. It was really uncomfortable to choke without hitting.
"The king's envoy enters the camp, the king's envoy enters the camp..." Suddenly, the shouts came from the camp, and the dusty carriage rushed directly to Pang Nuan's tent before stopping the car. The general Pang Nuan came out of the tent to greet him, and then he realized that the person who came was Qin Bo, the disciple of Xiangbang Jianxinjun.
"The Qin people attacked me! They were surrounding Yecheng, and the king ordered the general to return quickly." Before Qin Bo entered the tent, he explained his purpose.
"Ah!" Pang Nuan was shocked, and blood all over his body poured into his head. It took him a while to calm down. He asked anxiously: "The Qin army is attacking Chu, why are we attacking me?" After he asked, he said, "Zhao Qin has already formed an alliance. Qin people, how could Qin people attack me?"
"The King of Chu defeated the Qin people again." Handan was close to Daliang, and the news of the defeat of the Qin and Wei coalition forces quickly reached Handan. When the Zhao people were still applauding, the 200,000 Qin troops led by Huan Qi attacked Yecheng. "The king ordered the general to return to the army quickly to save Ye." Qin Bo said again.
"The King of Chu has not died?" Pang Nuan was paying attention to the situation in the world. King Zhao had already given military power to the axe and halberd, and he had the right not to return to his army.
"Yes, the King of Chu built another small city in the inner city of Chen City to defend it, and Qin and Wei were not destroyed. Xiang Yan led a 150,000 army to defeat Qin and Wei, defeated 300,000 people of Qin and Wei, killed 40,000 people of Qin and Wei, and captured 100,000 troops." Qin Bo had just submitted the king's order, but seeing that Pang Nuan did not mention the return of the army, he had to answer Pang Nuan's questions carefully. In the end, he took out a copy of the news from the Great Chu more than 20 days ago and handed it to Pang Nuan, and repeated: "The king ordered the general to return to the army to save Ye."
Pang Nuan snatched the newspaper and read it in a hurry, almost unable to believe it: "The Chu army is so brave?" Seeing that Qin Bo did not answer, he finally said: "It is urgent to attack Yan, how can you return to the army at this time? Yecheng is already in equipment, why are you afraid of the Qin people?"
"The general is not ordered by the king?" Qin Boda opened his mouth. He did not expect Pang Nuan to answer like this.
"The army is outside, and the king's orders are not accepted." Pang Nuan put down the newspaper and saw the axe. "The axe was personally accepted by the king. Before leaving, the king ordered me to attack Yan. Now the Yan Yan people have retreated to the east of the Yishui Great Wall, and the city is isolated and helpless. If they retreat at this time, their efforts will be in vain and they must not withdraw their troops."
"Does the general disobey the king's order?" Qin Bo stood up angrily, and he could not accept this result.
"No." Pang Nuan did not admit it at all. "I am doing the king's order. Please go back to Handan to tell the king. The city is about to be set aside, and Pang Nuan only accepts the previous order, not the next order."
"What's the danger in Yecheng?" Qin Bo took a deep breath, sat down again, and his tone softened.
"Yecheng has already prepared a defender, and the Chu people can defend Chencheng for half a year. Why can't Yecheng be guarded for just three months?" Pang Nuan asked back. He had no intention of talking anymore, and was thinking about the Chu State thousands of miles away.
Qin State attacked Chu, Zhao State attacked Yan, Qin State attacked Zhao. Handan, which was originally lively due to the great victory of the Chu people, calmed down overnight. The disaster brought by the Qin army to this city is still engraved in everyone's heart, even though the Qin army is attacking Ye City now. When Zhao King Zhao Yan heard that the Qin army attacked Ye, he was furious and did not sleep all night and fell ill the next day.
"Report to the king, General Pang has already taken Yang City, why should he attack Yan State again? The army will not return to Ye City again." Looking at Zhao Yan who was sick on the bed, Guo Kai had to mention the matter of causing the king to suddenly sleep.
"Guo Qing... cough cough..." The weather was cold and warm at the turn of spring and summer. After being sick for more than half a month, Zhao Yan kept coughing and his eyes were not clear. "Cough cough... This matter should be made by Xiangbang..."
The Qin army attacked Zhao, and the Zhao-Chu-Zhongmu Alliance was a thing of the past. After Jianxin resigned as prime minister, he was Sikong Ma who served as prime minister. He felt that Zhao Yan might not survive this spring, and Guo Kai remembered the matter of the crown prince again, but he swallowed it back in his mouth.
"I'm leaving." Guo Kai bowed heavily, and then quietly left the west room.
"I have met the Grand Tutor." When Guo Kai was about to leave his sleep, a slim shadow called him, this is the queen.
"I have seen the queen." Guo Kai did not dare to look at the queen, and quickly lowered his head while bowing.
"The king is sick, and Pang Nuan is unwilling to withdraw his troops for military merits. If it is the king..." The queen was born in a girl's market, and her appearance is unique in singing, dancing, and her name is.... People in the palace dare to call her queen. There are rumors that her former name was Hui, because she came from Lingshou, so she called her Lingzhi. Lingzhi was less than thirty years old. Even an old minister like Guo Kai would lose his mind while frowning and smiling.
Linghui was about to cry, Guo Kaiting felt sore, and he bowed: "Queen, don't be sad, the king is in full swing, how can he do it, how can he do it..."
"Yes, the doctor..." Linghui really cried. She was crying in a low voice, crying in depression, for fear that others would hear it.
"Cough cough...cough cough..." Zhao Yan's cough came from the west of the bedroom again, and even though he could hear it, he could hear it even though he was separated by several palace walls.
"Don't be sad for the queen." Guo Kai really wanted to go up and wipe his tears, but he was a minister after all, so he could only persuade: "The king is prosperous in spring and autumn, how can he leave for thousands of years? The eldest son has been established, and most of the court are old ministers, so the queen is not worried."
"If everyone in the court is like the Grand Tutor, I will naturally not worry, but Chunping Hou..."
Linghui was still crying in a low voice. As soon as the three words "Chunping Hou" came out, Guo Kai seemed to be struck by lightning, his ears were full of "rumbling" sounds, and his spiritual consciousness was blocked. He couldn't hear Linghui left, and he said something again. He bowed farewell to the queen like a puppet, and left the palace like a puppet. When he returned home, he didn't say anything, but sat upright in the Mingtang for two hours.
...This throne was originally from the Marquis of Chunping, but because Wenxin Hou detained it, the King ascended the throne. Although the King Ruo died, although there was a crown prince, the crown prince was young and the deposed crown prince Zhao Jia had already become an adult, Ruochunping Hou...
Guo Kai felt more and more afraid. If Hou Chunping made Zhao Jia the king, he would die without a place to bury him. He quickly got up and said, "Come, come, please invite General Zhao Cong to the mansion!"

"The criminals pay homage to the king." Wei Liao, who was naked in Qutai Palace in Xianyang, was suddenly stunned when he saw Zhao Zheng. He once promised to pull out Chencheng and kill King Jing, and asked Zhao Zheng to cooperate with him to perform a play, but he still broke down.
"You dare to come to see me?" Zhao Zheng was angry when he saw Wei Liao. He felt that he had a great trust in Wei Liao, but the Qin army was defeated and King Jing returned to Ying. Not only that, Jing also had to break up with Qin. More than 20 days ago, Changwenjun had just arrived in Yingdu, and the people of Jing asked him to return to Qin immediately. If not, he was still waiting for the new king of Chu to join the alliance in Jiyi.
"I am guilty. I wanted to die in Chencheng that day, but," Wei Liao lay on the ground, unable to see his expression, only blood from the thorn on his back. "I will die if I die, but I cannot be defeated by the Qin army again by Xiang Yan, so I risk my life to see the king."
"Replace the defeat of Xiang Yan again?" Zhao Zheng laughed. "In the battle of Qingshui, if it weren't for the swearing in front of King Jing's formation, the people of Jing would be defeated. In the battle of Chencheng, our Qin army would be 100,000 and the Wei army would be 150,000. If the defeat of the Wei army, Xiang Yan would be defeated long ago. Why do you say that the Qin army would defeat Xiang Yan again?"
"Although the king's words are not wrong, he is not in the battle formation, and he does not know the final details. He only reads the brief list, not knowing the slightest. The Jing army of the previous year was no different from the Han and Wei army. Today's Jing army is far better than the Qin army. If not, how could he hurt my general? How could he defeat the Wei army?" Wei Liao finally raised his head: "This time he returned to Xianyang, the criminals took the order of the general and risked his life to bring more than a hundred soldiers to see the king, and asked the king to order him to fight with the Qin soldiers. If the criminals said something wrong, please kill him!"
"Do you dare to bring more than a hundred soldiers into Xianyang?" Zhao Zheng suddenly stood up. It was a death sentence without military talismans.
"The king, if he believes in the general and me, if he believes in the military tactics of Guigu, please order these more than a hundred soldiers to fight. If he does not believe, please kill the criminals." Wei Liao was already willing to die. He had not completed the king's order, but he was unwilling to escape from Qin and could only go to Xianyang for a try.
"Come!" Zhao Zheng shouted angrily. He was really angry.
"Please drink soy milk with the king of Zhao Zheng." The queen of the temple, Mi Lu, happened to come out. There were two sets of stone mills in the dowry, one was already filial to the Queen Mother of Huayang, and the other was used in the harem, so Zhao Zheng also started drinking soy milk every day.
"The sinner is paying homage to the queen." Wei Liao quickly paused his head. The king had already shown his murderous intention, and the queen who happened to come out might be able to save his life. But to his disappointment, Mi Lu retreated with a slight gift.
Although there is no white sugar, soy milk is also a rare delicacy by squeezing some jujube or adding a little malt sugar. Sugar always makes people happy, especially when drinking soy milk, Zhao Zheng was mostly angry. He waved to the soldier who had already entered the hall and asked, "What do you mean by Meng Wu?"
"Report to the King," the god of death came and left. Wei Liao, who had not been trembling just now, was trembling all over. He held back the fighting teeth and said, "Report to the King, after the Wei army defeated, the general did not want to retreat, and said, "The Jing people are stronger and stronger, if they give them a breath again, it will cause a disaster for Qin." Now Xiang Yan's army has half of the barbarian spear and half of the sword. This is a sign that the fighting method is not broad. Therefore, after the war, the general selected more than a hundred soldiers who fought with the Jing people from the army, ordered them to wear the Jing people's armor, arrange the Jing people's formation, and then ordered them to fight with the Qin people..."
"How?" Zhao Zheng finally heard it and asked about the result.
"All of them are defeated." Wei Liao spoke bluntly.
With a 'bang', the wine-jue was still on several tables. "I don't believe me!"
"The king doesn't believe it, please fight." Wei Liao bowed, and he was waiting for Zhao Zheng's words.
"Come here!" Zhao Zheng started calling people again. Although Wei Liao knew that Zhao Zheng was not going to execute him this time, his body was still shaking and he couldn't help but tremble. "Summon Wei Weiwei quickly."
"Yes!" After responding, the temple man rushed away. After the Weiwei rushed over, Zhao Zheng directly ordered: "So quickly order more than a hundred guards to the martial arts field, General Meng sent more than a hundred soldiers to fight with you."
"Wei." Three years ago, after the Lao Ai Rebellion, Wei Wei was appointed by Zhao Zheng himself and was a temple master named Tu.
