Chapter 40
"This Sima Shang runs like flying." The King of Qin stopped after pulling the reins of the horse. Due to the long running, the war horse under his crotch was spraying with heavy heat and sweat oozing out of his body. The King of Qin was also exhausted and gasped while talking.
The veteran Wang Jian's face was oozing sweat, holding the reins of the horse, and panting, "Sima Shang is not retreating. It is probably because he has learned the ability of a god and will fly around the clouds and fog."
Wei Liao smiled and said, "Liuzi thought that Sima Shang was reincarnated by a rabbit and ran so fast. We rushed in such a hurry and haven't stopped him yet. It's really hard for him."
The Qin army had the suddenness of the battle. It was logical that Sima Shang could have surrounded him without time to react. However, the fact was not the same. After a round of rushing down, the Qin army not only did not surround the Zhao army, but instead rushed to the Zhao army. If the Zhao army was not stopped, it would be possible to jump out of the Qin army's encirclement.
This will lead to a big problem.
Spitting out, the King of Qin asked, "Wang Jian, what should we do now? You can't compare with Sima Shang with whom your legs are faster.
Until now, I found that Zhao Jun’s legs were faster than us, so I couldn’t compete anymore. I must find a way to stop Zhao Jun.”
This is an urgent task, and Wang Jian agreed with it: "What the king said is so, and I think so too, but I haven't thought of a good idea yet. King, I think that I can send someone to send a letter to Mr. Zhou and ask Mr. Zhou to return to his army to stop Zhao's army.
This Sima Shang is worthy of being a rare general!”
It would be best if Zhou Chong returned to the army to stop Zhao's army. The King of Qin did not know that Zhou Chong had already fought with Zhao's army, and said in contemplation: "What you said makes sense, but Mr. Zhou's secret march this time was very mobile. He is here today and there tomorrow.
It's really difficult to find him. Besides, even if you find him, Mr. Zhou's position may not be suitable for blocking. "
This is the truth. Wang Jian had to admire the Qin King's meticulous thoughts and said, "The king is wise, I am not as worried as this."
"It's not that you can't imagine, it's that the current situation is too critical. You are thinking about it in the better direction." The King of Qin exonerated him and asked, "Mr. Liaozi thought what should we do?"
Wang Jian was reluctant to leave his hands and could only pin his hopes on the resourceful Wei Liao. Wei Liao did not disappoint the King of Qin and said, "Your Majesty, Liaozi thought that there was only one way to achieve our predetermined goal, that is, to concentrate all the cavalry and leave the main force.
Go forward in order to achieve the purpose of intercepting Zhao army."
This is the only effective method at present. The King of Qin and Wang Jian praised in unison: "Good idea!" Wang Jian said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army, please rest assured. I will not let Zhao's army escape."
The King of Qin ignored Wang Jian's request for battle, but asked, "How many cavalry can we mobilize now?"
Wang Jian pondered for a moment, answered a very heartbreaking number, and said, "Return to the king. It's almost three thousand."
Three thousand cavalrymen went to intercept the retreat of hundreds of thousands of elite Zhao troops, but they were not enough to get stuck in the gap. The King of Qin asked, "That's just a little? Too little."
Wang Jian replied: "The king has no idea. Since pursuing Sima Shang, our military and local system has almost been disrupted. Each unit keeps moving forward and has difficulty in contact. These three thousand cavalry were kept following the strict orders of the ministers."
Fortunately, it was a famous general like Wang Jian who had left a hand. Otherwise, there would not be even three thousand cavalrymen. The King of Qin praised: "It's hard for you, General Wang. Let's do this, these three thousand cavalry set out first, and the cavalry behind gathered up before following."
The harm of doing this is that the troops are dispersed and it is easy to defeat the Zhao army one by one. Maybe all the cavalry will not stop the Zhao army from retreating, but this is the best way at present. It has to be done. Wang Jian and Wei Liao have no objection.
"Your Majesty, I found out that the Zhao army was abnormal. The Zhao army suddenly slowed down." The school rushed forward and reported to the Qin King with a heavy breath.
It is a great thing for Zhao Jun to slow down. This is a great thing that the King of Qin and others dreamed of. Wei Liao, who had always been calm when he heard this, couldn't help it and asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, why did Zhao Jun slow down?"
The little school said quietly: "Mr. Liaozi, Xiaodi also received the news from the front, and the specific situation is not clear."
The great news was unknown, but the truth was unknown. King Qin pointed at the school again and again, and said helplessly: "You are really, you can understand the reason and report it."
The little school apologized and said, "The king blamed him, but the little divine remembered it."
"Your best, you right!" At this moment, Nei Shiteng's loud voice rang out.
King Qin, Wang Jian, and Wei Liao looked at the sound of the sound. The Nei Shi Teng came over and the horse was coming. He was so excited that he jumped off the horse at a long distance from them. He spread his legs and rushed over and said, "Your Majesty..."
"Say, what's the matter?" asked the King of Qin.
Nei Shiteng wanted to stop, but he rushed too fast and did not stand firm. He knocked the junior high school to the ground before stopping, blurting out: "The Zhao army has stopped retreating."
I just said that the Zhao army slowed down and now stopped retreating. The news was like a single person. The King of Qin, who had always been happy and unrestrained, was also happy and comforted, and said, "God blessed! Have you found out the reason why Zhao army stopped?"
"Return to the king, according to the front report, it seems that the Zhao army was blocked." Before Nei Shiteng finished reporting, the King of Qin breathed a sigh of relief and interrupted him, "It's really a sight! Which army is it?"
Nei Shiteng replied: "The whistle newspaper did not say that it was a very tall cavalry blocking the Zhao army, with almost ten thousand people.
"The more he said, he became more and more excited, and said, "Your Majesty, this cavalry has amazing combat effectiveness. The 20,000 vanguard troops of the Zhao army were wiped out without supporting it within an hour."
The King of Qin, Wang Jian and Wei Liao said in unison: "It's him, Mr. Zhou!"
Wang Jian said with confidence: "Mr. Zhou blocked the Zhao army, but Zhao army could not escape! Sima Shang, you can't escape."
Wei Liao agreed with his statement, nodded slightly, and the King of Qin pondered for a moment, saying, "I believe that Mr. Zhou can stop the Zhao army, and the vanguard of Zhao army was completely wiped out without preparation.
When Sima Shang received the news, he would inevitably mobilize heavy troops to attack Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou was under too much pressure, so our reinforcements must rush there immediately.
"What the king said is very true!" Wei Liao agreed very much.
The King of Qin continued: "I have decided to lead reinforcements to rush there. Let me leave it to Mr. Liaozi and General Wang. You will lead the army and follow up. Please pay attention to strengthening the connection between the various departments."
Wang Jian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it is more appropriate for me to go there."
