Chapter 8 Advance
To destroy the Zhao army is to destroy the State of Zhao. Wang Jianshen knew the principle of "not attacking the land alone and attacking the person". Therefore, although the Zhao army was defeated, he still ordered the Qin army to pursue it. Only by pursuing can one eliminate as much Zhao army as possible and reduce the resistance to destroying Zhao in the future. Moreover, once the Zhao army loses the warable soldiers, the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei are likely to no longer save each other, and Zhao has no value to save.
"Tell the king quickly that our army defeated the Zhao army." Wang Jian, who had given the order, said to the guard Zhao Zi.
Zhao Zi used to be Meng Wu's guardian, but now he is Wang Jian's guardian. Seeing that Wang Jian was so anxious, he said in surprise: "Our army did not conspire to the king, so he hastily told him..."
Zhao Zi felt that it was inappropriate to be so hasty, but Wang Jian said: "The State of Zhao is about to perish, and the Three Kingdoms may be saved or not. This matter must be reported to the king as soon as possible."
"Of course." Wang Jian was not considering military affairs, but the situation in the world after the Zhao army's defeat. This was of course the scope of Zhao Zheng's consideration. After he said that, Lu Lijing in his hand was not looking at the battlefield with corpses everywhere, but the Feixun Station in the distance of the battlefield. He had sent Qin cavalry to attack the Feixun Station, but he believed that Linzi, Daliang, and Yingdu would receive news of the Zhao army's defeat today. Will the Three Kingdoms send troops?
"Report to Xiang Bo, Zhao's army will fight today, and the formation will be defeated, and it will be defeated..." Feixun passed to Xiang Yan at the fastest speed. He felt his ears buzzing, and then he became confused. Isn't the Zhao army holding on to Fanwu? Why did he lose in the battle?
"What does it mean?" Xiang Yan looked at Feixun Officer after breathing calmly and asked someone to report to Zhu Ao quickly.
"The Zhao army suddenly went out to fight today, and the formation was defeated and defeated. General Yan Ju died in battle." A quarter of an hour later, Xunwen was read again. This time, he heard not only Xiang Yan, but also Zhu Ao and various departments and departments of the Grand Sima Mansion.
"Why did the Zhao army go to fight?" Everyone looked solemn, while Naojing was indescribable. "Fanwu city is strong, why didn't the Zhao army stay in the city and go out to fight the Qin people in the field?"
No one spoke, so I was quiet for a while and then I coughed and said, "I heard that Jianxin, the king of Qin, had not returned, so I should be because of this."
"Since we are seeking peace, why go to fight?" Naojiu asked again. Zhao State has been in constant trouble in the past month. First, Jianxin Jun and Qin were connected, then Chunping Hou died, and then Li Mu was assassinated. Now he went to fight and was defeated. The storm was surging, and the situation in the world changed drastically.
"In order to seek peace, we should use war to promote peace." Don't let me say, and he said again when everyone was nodding slowly: "Just as Changping."
In the Battle of Changping, Lian Po retreated, but King Xiaocheng of Zhao ordered Zhao Kuo to replace him and then attacked and was surrounded. The change of Zhao Xiaocheng of Zhao was not because of the lack of food in Zhao, which was widely misled by later generations. The Zhao army and the Qin army had only been confronted for several months in Changping, rather than fighting for three consecutive years. The attack was not because of the shortage of food (the Zhao State borrowed food from Qi State but Qi State refused to listen. The incident happened in the sixth year of King Jian of Qi, the Battle of Changping ended and the Battle of Handan began), but to promote peace with war. At that time, the Zhao envoy Zheng Zhu was in Xianyang to negotiate peace with Qin State.
Now, according to the information, Jianxinjun also negotiated peace with Qin in Xianyang. The Zhao army, who had not been able to defend, suddenly went to fight. It was similar to the situation during the Battle of Changping: Zhao wanted to defeat the Qin army again and promote peace with war, but unexpectedly, it was defeated by Wang Jian.
"What should I do?" Naojiu nodded and asked. This was also a question that Zhu Ao thought at the same time.
"If the Zhao army is defeated and not destroyed..." Li Qi was a little nervous. The defeat of the Zhao army seemed to be a thunderbolt, slashing hard on his head.
"Every time the Qin army wins, they will be beheaded. If the Zhao army is defeated, it must be defeated. How can we gather together and fight again?" Cheng Jie interrupted. Although there is no more specific battle report, he has the worst plan for the Zhao army. "I think the battle in the old Ying should be ahead of schedule."
"How can you go ahead before the king returns?" Xiang Yan was thinking about saving Zhao. If Zhao didn't save him, he would be dead.
"If the king does not return, we must also advance." Cheng Jie said loudly. "At this time, the millions of Qin troops are still in Zhao. The Zhao State may be destroyed next month. The Qin army will return to Nanjun and Xianyang to help us."
"The Zhao army was defeated by Fanwu for 300,000. There are no soldiers in the country who can fight. If Zhao State is not saved, Zhao State will be destroyed." Xiang Yan said anxiously. Unfortunately, he is just the prefect of the Grand Sima Mansion, not the Great Ao of Chu State, and he does not know Zhu Ao's decision.
"Attack Qin, save Zhao." Cheng Jie said. "If I attack Qin, the Qin army will return to aid..."
"How can you save Zhao when attacking Qin?" Xiang Yan simply stood up. In the past, he agreed to restore Ying because Li Mu defended Jingxing Pass. Once Qin attacked Qin, the efforts of Qin to attack Zhao would be reduced, and Zhao might have survived. Now Li Mu is dead and Zhao's army is defeated. Unless the Chu army attacks Lantian, the Qin army will never withdraw all its troops from Zhao.
"Attack Qin and save Zhao Ji are in Zhu Ao, not in the Grand Sima Mansion!" Xiang Yan stood up, and Cheng Jie also stood up; Xiang Yan was excited, Cheng Jie was even more excited. The two suddenly looked at each other, their eyes intertwined as if they were about to hit Mars.
"You are going to destroy Zhao for the Ruo Ao family's own selfishness?" Xiang Yan no longer hides his thoughts and directly criticizes Cheng Jie's selfishness.
"Fuck! What is the selfishness of the Ao family? The battle to restore Ying is only for the Chu State. Why did you save Zhao? Not for your benefit to the Xiang family?" Cheng Jie was furious and drew his sword, pointing at Xiang Yan at the tip of the sword and shouted: "Since you dare to humiliate each other, you should draw the sword!"
"Irregular!" Naojiu was about to stop the duel between the two, but unexpectedly, when he was speaking, Xiang Yan had already drawn his sword.
"Stop!" This time it was no longer Naojiu who stopped him, and the rest of Zhu Ao stood up. If Cheng Jie duel with Xiang Yan, anyone who died would be the loss of Chu.
"Cheng Ao humiliated me, Xiang, and he wanted to compete for martial arts. Xiang's upright is worthy of the sky, and downright is worthy of the human being. Taiyi's blessing is for sure, please verify the authenticity." Xiang Yan's sword did not return to the sheath, but accepted Cheng Jie's challenge. His left hand grabbed the sharp sword blade, and blood went down the groove.
Xiang Yan swears clearly, Cheng Jie also swears. The duel between the two was inevitable, and others shook their heads and sighed. But there was no way to deal with such things. There were not a thousand or hundreds of people in the Chu people who died in duel every year, and the court had no intention of adjusting and shouting. The only advantage was that after the two swears, they no longer raised their swords to face each other, and the interrupted discussions were continued.
"The people of Zhao are Qin; the people of Qin are Zhao." Cheng Jie said. "The people of Zhao have been connected with Qin for a long time, and they did not save our Chu State in the past. Instead of saving Zhao, it is better to attack Qin. The attack on Qin was originally scheduled to be May. I thought it would be at least half a month in advance. If the Qin people were not able to rescue him, can you wait?"
Cheng Jie asked Xiang Zhuao, and also asked Xiang Dasima's office to be in various departments. Zhaoshu said, "The king is still outside the border, how can I go ahead?"
"The king is still outside the border, but he is outside the border." Cheng Jie burst into tears when he mentioned this matter, and he even wanted to establish a new King of Chu. Of course, this was just an angry idea, and it was not realistic and impossible. "Our army first went to Jingling and Han River cities, and the king could go straight to the old Ying from Huai."
"How about the old Chu people?" Of course, the king should not attack the city. The king's role is mainly to awaken the old Chu people to rebel against Qin. The old Ying has been in the hands of the Qin people for nearly fifty years. Although the customs have not changed, many people only know that they are Qin people and do not know that they are Chu people. This requires the king to call himself.
"In the old Ying land, the old Chu people were the head of Xinqian, and the Qin people were the head of the old Qian people. The old Qian people often insulted the head of Xinqian, and it was repeatedly banned." Cheng Jie said. "Besides, the Qin people fought every year, and the common people suffered so much that they had suffered for a long time. If they could defeat the Qin army, the common people would rise up and fight against Qin."
The old Ying invaded for several years, and even Zhu Ao knew this clearly. Under the rule of Chu, the hierarchy was very strict, but Chu State was lazy in government, and the government did not interfere with the lives of the common people. The tax was also the same. The most important thing was not to fight, and there was a surplus in the year without fighting. Although life was not too good, it was not too bad. Under the rule of Qin, officials worked diligently, took law as their teachings, and officials as their teachers. Every year, they either fought or worked hard, and they would go on a whole year, and they might even die in the battlefield.
"I don't mean it." Unexpectedly, don't let me say anything against Cheng Jie. "We all know the difference between Qin Zheng and Chu Zheng, but do the people of old Ying and Chu know about it?"
"How can I not know?" Cheng Jie asked back. "Qin Zheng, Chu Zheng, can be seen at a glance..."
"It is only me who are bystanders at a glance. The old Chu was born under the rule of Qin. There were no private schools, newspapers, merchants, and witches. I only knew Qin's laws and officials. How did I know how Chu's government?" Don't let me say. "There are many people in the old Chu who only knew that there was Qin, but not Chu, and there was a world. If the king did not enter the old Ying land and summoned them, what would the common people suffer? If the timely cut off the woods and fight against Qin, the Qin officials would be the Qin officials."
"Qin Li?" Not only Cheng Jie, but also Naojiu, Xiang Yan was also surprised not to let me judge.
"If our army can defeat the Qin army and rebel against Qin first, it must be the Qin officials." Li Qi's judgment was the same as Wushu.
"Don't believe." Ruo Ao once came to Old Ying in person. After returning, he talked with Cheng Jie deeply. Cheng Jie deeply believed that the people of Chu had suffered from Qin for a long time.
"What can I do if Cheng Ao doesn't believe me?" Don't make me smile bitterly. "How do the common people know the general trend of the world? How do the common people know that our army attacks Qin? Those who know the world, the power of the old Ying must be Qin officials. How can the common people gather troops if they don't go out of the city if they don't go out of the city? How can the common people gather farming as the basis, seek profit and avoid harm? Those who can gather troops to resist Qin must be Qin officials. Therefore, I think that the old Ying Qin officials should not be beheaded, but should be surrendered."
Don't give my opinion to me, that is, to pardon the Qin officials and traitors in the old Ying Ying, thinking that I can use it, but the court officials disagree. There are no officials in Chu, and how can they pardon the officials and traitors in the Qin State? These people may have killed the Chu people and killed the Mi surname.
This is the reason why the court officials disagrees, but it is not that I don’t want to give it to me. His intention is to pardon first, and then find an opportunity to move all these people out of the old Ying after the war. This will also achieve the goal of eliminating officials and treacherous people. However, as soon as this method is said, the court officials scolded him for being beaten up. He was killed and then pardoned, and he was pardoned. He promised to pardon and then moved all of them. That is, he has no faith and will not do anything to treason.
"This is something that can be stopped." Xiang Yan, who was a Shangguan, glared at me and asked him to stop.
"The Grand Sima Mansion thought that if the king entered the old Ying in May, what would happen to the war?" Nao asked, "He must make the worst plan. "Which is more important, the king entered the old Ying or the Qin army to send troops to rescue him? Are all food, grass, boats, weapons, and soldiers ready?"
"I don't know yet." Li Qi couldn't answer these questions.
"When will it be known?" Naojiu asked.
