Chapter 131 Miserable People
In the middle of October of the third year of King Zheng of Qin, the Zhao army, which was fighting with the Qin army along the river, suddenly retreated, and the Qin army pursued him reluctantly. In the rear of the Zhao army, there were 100,000 Qin troops led by Huan Qi to pass through the pass, and drove straight in. Finally, they blocked the Zhao army on the front line with Zhaonan Great Wall. The Zhao army had less than 200,000 troops since then, and were completely surrounded and killed by more than 300,000 Qin troops on the Zhaonan Great Wall.
This war between Qin and Zhao broke out in the three years of Qin Wangzheng's war. The offensive and defensive situation was completely out of place.
The confrontation between Qin and Zhao not only affected the southern border of Zhao, which was completely trapped in war, but also affected the other battlefields.
At this time, many people almost understood what the Qin army's real intention was.
The Qin army never thought about defense. Their real purpose was the 200,000 army of Zhao State, and even the entire Zhao State.
The South Korean incident three years ago has made the world realize that the war in the future will be a real war to destroy the country. South Korea is only the first, but it cannot be the last one.
Nanyang County at the junction of Qin and Chu, the Chu army camp.
"General Xiang, do you think it's time to launch a decisive battle?" Chunshen Jun Huang Xie asked the Chu army general Xiang Liang.
"Now the main force of the Qin army is in Zhao State, and the Qin army in Nanyang will definitely be limited. If our army does not take this opportunity to attack the Qin army with all its might in order to win, and if the Zhao army is defeated and the main force of the Qin army returns to Nanyang, our Chu army will have a chance to win." Faced with the problem that Chunshenjun seemed to be asking but questioning, Xiang Yan explained patiently.
"General Xiang is naturally better at fighting against the two armies. I really don't want to intervene too much. However, General Xiang, as a general of the Chu army, you are commanding a 300,000 army. What you should consider is the matter of fighting against the two armies. You have to consider other things." Chunshen Jun stroked the long beards that were already mixed with a lot of white beards.
"I would like to ask Chunshen for advice." Xiang Yan bowed.
"As a general, while considering war, we must also consider the country." Chunshenjun said.
"Isn't winning for the country a consideration for the country?" Xiang Yan said in confusion.
"The victory of a war is not just a victory when the two armies are in the face of each other, but also depends on what the real purpose of the country's war is. As long as the goal is achieved, even if it is defeated on the battlefield, it is a victory. On the contrary, if it is won on the battlefield, but the country's goal is not achieved, such victory is itself a failure for the country." Chunshenjun explained to Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang couldn't help but frown when he heard this because he smelled something else from Chunshenjun's words.
What the King and Chunshen Jun planned was different from the one he imagined to defeat Qin, and it was quite different.
"I would like to ask Chunshen for advice." Xiang Yan said solemnly.
"If the Zhao army was not surrounded, it would be fine for our army to launch a decisive battle against the Qin army at this time, but the Zhao army has been surrounded and there is a possibility of being annihilated at any time. However, can you be sure that the real target of Qin is the Zhao army rather than our Chu army? Once the King of Zhao chooses to negotiate peace with the Qin army in despair, do you know the consequences of our decisive battle against the Qin army at this time?"
"No, the Zhao army is brave and fierce. In the previous battle, 50,000 Zhao army, from generals to soldiers, no one surrendered. This shows that the Zhao army is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and fears death." Xiang Yan hesitated.
He had already understood what Chunshen Jun meant at this time. He was guarding against the possibility of peace talks between Zhao and Qin, and therefore was unwilling to enter a decisive battle with the Qin army, because once Qin and Zhao negotiated peace talks, Chu would fall into a situation where he used his power to fight against Qin, which was obviously not what the Chu State wanted to see.
They dared to try to attack Qin, but no country would do it when they used the power of one country to fight against Qin.
But what Xiang Liang thought of was another point. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Qin army besieging Zhao army and defeating the Qin army's southern line army in one go was the real way out for Chu.
"The Zhao army may not, but the Zhao king will." Chunshen Jun said.
Since Zhao Wangyan ordered the withdrawal of his troops, Chunshen Jun no longer believed that King Zhao had the determination to fight to the death with the Qin army. It was precisely because of this that he did not want to really break up with the Qin army.
The thinking of politicians and the understanding of generals came to two different conclusions in the situation faced by the Chu army, but the politicians were able to make the final ruling, which was often the sorrow of being a general.
Chunshenjun, who was striving to be Wei Yong's second, looked at Xiang Yan, who was hesitant in front of him and stopped saying anything.
These military disciples only know how to fight, but how can they understand that what a country needs is not just victory on the battlefield?
King Yan of Zhao, who was far away in Handan, did not know that Chunshen Jun made such a plan because of his bad reputation. At this time, he was still thinking that the Chu army could gain an advantage on the southern line, which forced the Qin army to draw troops from the northern line to relieve the pressure on the Zhao army.
What will be the effect of the plan between Zhao Wangyan and Chunshen Jun?
From the banks of the Dahe River to the Yangtze River, the front line spanning the north and south for more than a thousand miles was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and the people who entered Xinzheng from Daliang, Weidu, added a different kind of warmth to this strange atmosphere.
"A little girl can actually speak out to her." Ying Zheng held a roll of unopened bamboo slips in his hand and said to Xunqiu, who was rarely left the school and took the initiative to pay homage to him.
"Although Xinlingjun, this young girl, is a very amazing woman. Being able to do this for her father at a young age is enough to shame most men in the world. I also want to fulfill her." Xun Qiong said with a smile.
Xinlingjun is indeed awesome. He has the legacy of Xinlingjun in terms of character and courage. Unfortunately, he is a woman. Otherwise, ten years later, the Wei State might not have had another Xinlingjun.
"Xinling Jun's body was originally planned to be returned to Wei after the war ended, which could have a perfect end to a hero like Xinling Jun. But she didn't expect that she would do this." Ying Zheng left the bamboo slip in his hand and said.
"The king recognizes the daughter of Xinlingjun?" Xunqiu noticed something from Ying Zheng's words. The king knew that Xinlingjun's daughter might still know him.
"I met her in Handan when I was young, but I didn't expect that little girl would have grown up too," Ying Zheng recalled.
Three years ago, he used this girl to cheat Xinlingjun, but how could he really have no impression?
However, such an outstanding girl has not left any trace in the future. I think her fate should not be very good in the future.
As Xunqiu said, she was just for Xinlingjun's body to come to Xinzheng, and the character she showed and the courage and wisdom she needed were enough to make 99% of the men in the world ashamed.
"Mr. I'll hand over the body of Xinling Jun to her." Ying Zheng continued.
"Thank you, the king." Xunzi bowed.
After Xunzi left, Ying Zheng slowly unfolded the bamboo slips. What caught his eye was the beautiful Qin seal script. As time went by, Ying Zheng's face became more and more strange.
The meaning of the Chinese characters of the bamboo slips is almost the same as her daughter, Xinlingjun's daughter, hopes to make a deal with her in order to exchange for the body of her father Xinlingjun, and specifically stated something in it that Xinlingjun and Yan Wang Xi had already established a marriage contract for her and Yan Dan.
This is the real reason why Ying Zheng’s face became weird. This seemingly non-four words undoubtedly point to another thing in the text throughout the text.
Yan Dan is too pitiful, right?
