Chapter 409: Enemies meet, especially jealous (fourteen)
When the deputy general saw Qin Wenjin leaving, he hurriedly followed.
He also muttered behind his back: "Which country is not fighting to the death when fighting a war. It is not the age of his ancestors, and the soldiers are not bloody. Who would be waiting to be slaughtered?"
Qin Wenjin heard the muttering sound and said to himself: This matter may be.
Looking at the setting sun like blood, the afterglow hit Qin Wenjin's face, intertwined and entangled, as if it was about to merge together.
The news of the defeat of the Zhao army spread wildly. Not only the cities near Changping were known, but even the Zhao king who was far away in Yingdu also learned about it. The Zhao king who heard the news threw the lord in his hand to the ground and rolled at the feet of the informant.
The person who came was sweating as big as beans on his forehead, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it. He bowed his head on the ground, and did not dare to come out.
King Zhao asked, "Why did Lian Po teach you how to be so capable when he was in the hands of the Qin army and he was defeated again and again?"
The person who bowed to the ground was just a soldier who sent the military newspaper. How could he know what the battle between Qin and Zhao sides looked like? Not to mention how Lian Po used his troops.
Even in private, my brothers usually admire Lian Poduo, but at this time, they could not mention a single word in front of the angry King Zhao. At this time, they could only lie on the ground in the political affairs hall and bear the anger of King Zhao.
After a while, he couldn't get a reply, and King Zhao deliberately sent the soldiers who sent the letter.
He also summoned all the ministers in the court to discuss a plan to resist Qin.
The King of Zhao didn't believe that Zhao's soldiers were so vulnerable, and they were just defeated in Shangdang's army. Changping was a familiar place in Zhao's army, but he was still defeated. This must be the problem of the leaders.
However, this is just what King Zhao thought. He also knew very well that before there was no countermeasure, you should not say it rashly, otherwise it would easily shake the morale of the army.
After looking back and forth the ministers in the court, King Zhao realized something was wrong. He asked, "Who can you know where are the senior officials and the prime minister?"
The court officials could not turn their minds for a moment. When they saw the empty seat, they remembered that Lin Xiangru, the senior doctor who had been ill in Zhao State, and Su Ji, who was often not in the court.
Why did the king remember him today? Whenever these two people encounter major events, the king must consult them. Could it be that the Zhao army has suffered consecutive defeats recently?
However, in order to prove their news, it is impossible for them to be more informative than King Zhao.
Therefore, a minister pretended to be unknown and replied: "The King, the doctor of the Shang Dynasty has been lingering in his sick bed in recent years, and sometimes he is awake and sometimes unconscious; the Prime Minister is far away in Chu State and has not returned. I am afraid that he will not be able to get a reply in a short period of time."
King Zhao was displeased. When these individuals did not need it, they all showed their magical powers. When they needed it, they were either sick or unable to find anyone.
The young King Zhao had learned to hide his mind, and his face was like an ancient well without waves. He seemed to be extremely casual, and he threw the news that the Qin State Zhao State had defeated both battles and Lian Po led his army to defend it in the court.
The court officials who had hidden speculation, the court officials who had received the news through the path early, and the already ignorant court officials were all shocked by the words given by King Zhao.
All the court officials were silent and did not speak.
King Zhao asked, "You guys, who can solve this dilemma?"
There was a person who was close to Lian Po and said, "Wang, General Lian Po is now in charge, so it should be the best choice. After a long time, the Qin army can retreat without fighting."
It makes sense, but there are also people who are evil with Lian Po, who also leave the list and question: "King, this is not advisable. It sounds good to retreat without fighting, but who can guarantee when the Qin army will retreat?
The Qin army can gather troops for a long time in Changping. Will our Zhao Kingdom still accompany us? How can we know that other countries will not take advantage of the situation at this time? The most important thing is that General Lian Po is now in high spirits this year, and the Qin army is the leader of Qin Wenjin, who is in his prime."
King Zhao did not comment on both words.
The man who said earlier said: "How long will the Qin army consume? Changping is in the territory of Zhao State, and food, supplies can be obtained at any time, but the Qin army has to transport it from afar. There are countless losses in between. How many years can the Qin army spend with our Zhao State?"
The person who retorted also said: "Hmph, it's the age of desolation, and Zhao State is not rich. If the Qin army really spent a few years with our Zhao State, how long can Zhao State last?
What we should consider now is how to quickly teach the Qin army to retreat and defend Changping, Zhao State, is a bad thing. I wonder what the king wants to do?”
King Zhao actually agreed and nodded. He turned to ask, "I wonder if you are looking for Qin Wenjin's two children, are there any whereabouts?" Meng Tian and Meng Yi, who have been missing for a long time, have not been found yet.
Although it was known to all the court officials before, they were all in private and now they were placed in the Ming Dynasty. The ministers understood that King Zhao decided to compete with Qin.
The minister who was responsible for finding Meng Tian and Meng Yi walked out with a pale face and said, "Wang, since those two children were lost, no one has seen anyone else's traces, and there is nowhere to be found."
King Zhao was furious and said, "If the Qin army is invading, you are not able to defeat you, and you can't come up with any ideas. Now you can't even find someone. Do you want to tell me that Zhao State will perish?"
In a fit of anger, King Zhao insisted on "no words" and the court officials bowed their heads and knelt down, and stopped arguing.
King Zhao also said nothing and confronted each other.
After a long time, a man raised his eyes and said, "Wang, this matter is not in a hurry. Although General Lian Po is older, he is no longer as excited as he was in his early years, he is more than enough to defend the city. During this period, Zhao State can plan and move."
The minister, who had already lost his master, also agreed at this time: "I think this is reasonable."
The ministers who had previously divided into two factions and had endless arguments also said at this time: "I agree."
"I'm going to discuss it."
......
Since that day, Changping's war report has been sent to Yingdu every day with one report. The Zhao State Court was busy.
Someone who had been in front of Zhao Wang's rebellion today had his own ideas, and he had no feet on the ground, running back and forth outside the city, looking for the missing Meng Tian and Meng Yi, and not intruding against each other.
Whenever Zhao Wang heard the news, the depression in his heart also continued to rise.
Thinking about how powerful he was, King Wuling, the ancestor of Zhao State, was, was in his hands. Moreover, during the reign of King Wuling of Zhao State, Qin State did not dare to force him like this.
The thoughts in his heart that King Zhao, who thought he was far superior to his father, was also quietly changing.
Until one day, King Zhao received a message.
On the other hand, King Zhao also made up his mind to the two armies against each other. It was time to end this battle of wastefulness that could be seen at a clear vision.
However, King Zhao, who has not been through the battlefield for a long time, does not understand that some things will be difficult to recover as if they have made a decision.
