Chapter 403: To Fight or Not to Fight? (2nd Update)

Qin Wangji couldn't calm down anymore.

First Xianyang, then Liyang, these two cities happen to be the two most important cities in Guanzhong and even Qin, but now there are Zhao cavalry.

What's the matter, are these Zhao people everywhere?

What bothered Qin Wangji the most was that by this time, the monarchs and ministers of Qin had not yet fully figured out the number of Zhao cavalry!

So soon, Qin Wangji's roar echoed in the hall again: "How many Zhao people are in the widow's territory now, and who can tell the widow a definite answer?" ”

Of course, such an answer is impossible, and someone came to tell Qin Wangji.

At least at this moment, no one in the entire Qin State Hall knew how many cavalry had entered the Guanzhong.

It was at this time that an old eunuch suddenly appeared in a hurry, holding a piece of information in his hand and handing it to Qin Wangji.

Qin Wangji glanced at the old eunuch with some surprise, and then opened the information and looked at it.

Looking at it, the anger on Qin Wangji's face began to show signs of subsidence.

After a moment, Qin Wangji spoke again, breaking the silence in the hall.

"I just got a secret report that the Zhao army has a total of 20,000 cavalry from Henan to enter the upper county. A small part of them made their way south to Wangcheng with great fanfare, while the main force detoured from the west bank of Luoshui and appeared outside Liyang City after several days of marching! ”

As soon as Qin Wangji's words came out, the ministers of Qin who were present invariably breathed a sigh of relief.

Figuring out the specific situation of the enemy, the next thing you need to do is how to deal with it, which is relatively simple.

For the current Qin State, although 20,000 enemy troops are very troublesome, it is not a problem that cannot be solved.

But it was only a moment later that many of the ministers who had come to their senses became nervous again.

The sudden appearance of 20,000 enemy troops in the Qin State proves one thing, that is, the Qin State has made a major mistake in the reconnaissance and judgment of intelligence, and has been confused by the Zhao people.

Since it was a mistake, and it was such a major mistake, it was inevitable that someone would lose his head.

And a lot of heads will be lost.

Sure enough, after Qin Wangji fired a fire, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Pass on the widow's order, and all the relevant responsible persons will be taken down by the widow, and the widow will be dealt with after the war!" ”

After a pause, Qin Wangji continued to speak: "Since we already know that the number of Zhao people is 20,000, what the widow wants to ask is whether the widow can directly annihilate the 20,000 Zhao army!" ”

Obviously, Qin Wangji was still very angry about the fact that the Great Qin Empire's 20,000 Zhao troops were forced to the doorstep, and his first reaction was to kill this Zhao army.

This matter is not only related to Qin Wangji's personal attitude, but also related to Qin's diplomatic prestige

If the Qin State could only swallow its anger without even doing anything when others hit the door, then after the vassal states of the world heard the news, the little diplomatic prestige that the Qin State had left basically disappeared.

This is definitely not something that Qin Wangji hopes to see.

From the perspective of his heart, Qin Wangji hoped to leave this 20,000-strong Zhao army in this Guanzhong land forever, so that all the enemies who dared to invade the Guanzhong Basin knew that Qin's advantage was not so easy to take advantage of.

Of course, in the final analysis, if you want to achieve this, then Qin Wangji must get the help of these Qin ministers present.

At this time, Zhao Zhu, the prince of Qin and the monarch of An Guo, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke.

"Father, the minister is willing to lead the elite soldiers to attack and destroy this Zhao army!"

Zhao Zhu jumped out to ask for battle at this time, but it was actually after some careful consideration.

After all, Xianyang City is the capital of the Qin State, and no matter how the battle situation changes, Xianyang City has a sufficiently elite army to defend it at any time.

After all, the army was already on the march, and if there was no more effective army in the capital to defend it, wouldn't it be easy to succeed if a rebel with bad intentions launched a rebellion?

Therefore, even if the Qin State and the Zhao State are fighting fiercely on the front line now, the more than 20,000 Qin defenders in Xianyang are still first-class elite divisions.

In Zhao Zhu's opinion, it should be very easy for him to lead this elite Qin army to destroy the invading Zhao army.

Since it's easy, then why did Zhao Zhu give this credit to others?

And this time the people of Zhao came here, and they were all cavalry.

In Zhao Zhu's cognition, the cavalry is simply scum!

Qin Wangji looked at Zhao Zhu and was silent.

Qin Wangji still knows a lot about his son's ability, although Zhao Zhu said that he should have a set of rules in terms of governing the country, and if he is leading the troops to go on the expedition, it is really impossible to say whether he can fight this battle well.

And as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if this battle is lost, then the elite soldiers in Xianyang City will definitely lose everything.

When the time comes, the people of Zhao will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, maybe even Xianyang City will fall.

Although Qin Wangji felt that this possibility was not too great, Xianyang was the capital of Qin after all, and Qin Wangji was unwilling to be the first Qin monarch in history to be breached by the capital.

Looking at Qin Wangji's silent appearance, Zhao Zhu's face gradually became a little ugly, and the ministers of Qin on the side seemed to understand something.

A minister of the Qin State suddenly came out and said: "Great King, the cavalry of the Zhao State has always been famous all over the world, and the minister heard that not long ago, the cavalry of the Zhao State defeated tens of thousands of elites of the entire Linhu tribe with fewer victories in the battle of Henan. ”

Zhao Zhu's face became even more ugly.

Xiangbang Cai Ze looked left and right, and suddenly came out and said: "King, if it seems that Yichen must go out of the city, then it is better to order Wang Yi to send an army back to help, and then the two defenders of Xianyang and Liyang will send troops to attack at the same time, and they will definitely be able to break this cavalry army of the Zhao army, I don't know what the king thinks?" ”

As soon as Cai Ze's words came out, Zhao Zhu's heart was hot, and the anger was already unstoppable, so he immediately retorted: "Now that the war on the front line is tight, how can you easily transfer troops from the front line to help?" ”

Cai Ze shook his head and said to Zhao Zhu: "An Guojun's words are indeed reasonable, but what the minister wants to say is that the safety of Xianyang is the top priority. Even if you want to do anything, you should first ensure the safety of Xianyang City as the first priority! ”

Zhao Zhu still wanted to argue with Cai Ze again, but at this time, Qin Wangji had already made a decision.

"Enough, no more fighting!"

Qin Wangji first glanced at An Guojun Zhao Zhu, then moved his gaze to Cai Ze's body, and then said: "The widow has decided to send a letter to Wang Cheng first to see if Wang Ji can send troops back to help." If it can, then it will be attacked and destroyed in three ways. If the fact of front-line warfare is tight, then think about it in the long run! ”
