Chapter 155: Qin Wangji in Yiyang City (First Update)
The time when Qin Wangji knew the news of the defeat of Yewang City was actually two days earlier than Zhao Dan.
Why is it two days early? The reason is simple, because Hanoi County is the newest county set up by the Qin State, and the battlefield where Sima Terrier and Wei Wuji fought is itself part of the Hanoi County on the map of the Qin State.
When Sima Terrier and Wei Wuji were fighting, Qin Wangji was in Yiyang City, which was not too far from Yewang City, only a few days away.
Therefore, Qin Wangji received the information sent by the expedited fast horse the next day.
For anyone who was with Qin Wangji, the experience of that day was definitely not a good experience.
Qin Wangji was furious after learning the news and smashed almost everything in front of him that could be broken.
"Sima Terrier, stupid, stupid!" Qin Wangji's roar could be heard clearly even by the guards guarding outside the courtyard.
Qin Wangji certainly had reason to be angry.
As long as Sima Terrier does not go out of the city to fight in the field and holds on for four or five days, Qin Wangji will be able to lead the hundreds of thousands of people in Hanoi County who have been assembled to rush to the aid of Yewang City.
At that time, even if Wei and Korea colluded, the Qin army on the front line of Yewangcheng would have enough troops to deal with it, which can be said to be completely true.
But with the annihilation of Sima Terrier and the 50,000 Qin army, Qin Wangji's idea was completely lost.
What makes Qin Wangji even more depressed is that even if Qin Wangji can gather more than 100,000 people, he can't continue to move eastward to confront the damn Wei Wuji and Jin Huang.
Why? It's because of the lack of Sima Terrier, the most critical 50,000 Qin army!
You must know that Sima Terrier's subordinates are all veterans who have fought in Changping for several years, if Sima Terrier's department is still there, then Qin Wangji can completely use Sima Terrier's department as the backbone, and the people he brought with him as flesh and blood, and quickly organize a large army.
Due to the existence of such an army with the old and the new, as long as it is trained for a period of time and then fights a few battles, it can immediately form combat effectiveness.
But now that the veterans of Sima Terrier's department are all dead, without the command and guidance of the veterans, Qin Wang Jimao rashly led these hundreds of thousands of unorganized, undisciplined recruits who had not yet been brought up to confront the Wei and Han coalition forces led by Wei Wuji, which was no different from sending them to death.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Wangji's heart hated Sima Terrier so much.
A full 50,000 elites of the Qin army, the result? Not one in a hundred!
Yes, in the battle a few days ago, less than a thousand Qin soldiers fled back to Yiyang City under the leadership of the deputy general Meng Fu, and most of the Qin army were either killed on the spot or taken prisoner.
Such a defeat is the so-called total annihilation.
50,000 elites have been wiped out!
The last time the Great Qin Empire suffered such a fiasco, it had to be traced back to the Battle of Yan and Yan nine years ago.
Nine years may not sound like a long time, but in an era when there are wars almost every year, and in an age when life expectancy is no more than thirty years old, nine years is too long.
Qin Wangji originally thought that with the death of Zhao Hao, he should not encounter such a bad thing as the battle of Yan and Yan again.
However, what Qin Wangji never expected was that although Zhao Hao died, another Wei Wuji popped up!
Although it is said that this Wei Wuji is not from Zhao State, but in the current war, Wei Wuji is on the side of Zhao State, which is actually no different from him from Zhao State.
Thinking of this, Qin Wangji became more and more unhappy.
Back then, as early as when he first ascended the throne, there was a Kuang Zhang in the Qi State, and Kuang Zhang, a guy who led the alliance of Qi, Han and Wei to break through his Hangu Pass, almost destroyed his Qin State, and forced the King of Qin to cut the land and sue for peace.
Qin Wangji did not give up, after more than ten years of hard work, he finally waited for Kuang Zhang's death, and then united the five countries to attack Qi, and completely drove the Qi State from the position of the Eastern Emperor.
After the absence of Kuang Zhang, Qin Wangji and the Qin army under his command lived a leisurely life for decades, until nine years ago they met a guy named Zhao Hao in a place called Yan He in Zhao State.
Because of the defeat of Yan and Yan, Qin Wangji removed Wei Ran, the marquis of Xiangbang at that time, expelled the four nobles and one line headed by Wei Ran, and supported Fan Sui to ascend to the throne.
After a few more years, Qin Wangji once again waited for Zhao Hao's death, and after a few more years, the opportunity of Qin also came, so Qin Wangji launched the Battle of Changping.
But what I never expected was that Kuang Zhang died, Zhao Hao died, and now there is another Wei Wuji!
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Wangji's heart was irritable.
Why do these damned, brilliant generals always like to stand in opposition to themselves and the Great Qin Empire?
Although Qin Wangji also has an immortal general like Wu Anjun Bai Qi in his hands, Qin Wangji even thinks that Bai Qi is far better than the above three people.
But the problem is that Bai Qi has now been pinned down by Lian Po on the front line of Changping, and he lacks skills.
Thinking of this, Qin Wangji's face became more and more gloomy, and after a long time, he gritted his teeth and burst out of his mouth.
"Could it be that the widowed Great Qin, except for Wu Anjun, has no one to fight against Wei Wuji?"
No one answered Qin Wangji's words, because in this room, Qin Wangji was the only one.
Qin Wangji sat silently in the room, staring at a map (map) on the table.
The so-called battlefield refers not only to the Changping battlefield, but to a large topographic map with a radius of thousands of miles, including Shangdang County, Hanoi County of Qin, Korea and even Wei.
It is with this topographic map that Qin Wangji can clearly see the current situation.
Since the southern exit of Taihang Cheng and Yewang City have been occupied by the Wei and Han coalition forces at this moment, it is impossible for Qin Wangji to take his hundreds of thousands of people along Taihang Cheng to the north to reinforce Changping's Baiqi.
At this time, if Qin Wangji still wanted to continue to the Changping battlefield, then he could only return to the division to the west, first enter Hedong County from Yiguan, and then export from Hedong County along the west side of Baicheng to reinforce the Changping battlefield.
If he went like this, then the distance that Qin Wangji had to pass would be more than twice as far as the original route from Yewang City to the north.
Qin Wangji's resentment towards Sima Terrier became even stronger in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that Sima Terrier had died outside Yewang City, and if it weren't for the fact that Sima Terrier had a father named Sima Cuo, Qin Wangji really wanted to raze Sima Terrier to the three clans at this moment.
Although it is said that the Qin State only lost 50,000 people outside the Yewang City, it seems that the damage to the Qin army, which has hundreds of thousands of people, is not great.
But the problem is not the number of people lost, but the fact that after the loss of the royal city and the city of Chencheng, the situation of the entire battlefield was completely changed.
If Qin Wangji doesn't want to do anything else, then Wei Wuji will lead the 150,000 Wei-Han coalition army to the north along Taihang and go to burst the chrysanthemum, the main force of the Qin army led by Bai Qi!
And it's not just the trouble on the Changping battlefield, you must know that among the two southeastern counties of the Qin State, Sima Jingyang, the great of the Chu State, led 200,000 Chu troops, but they are rampage like entering a no-man's land.
Qin Wangji sat behind the table, the expression on his face was cloudy.
He really couldn't figure it out.
Today's Great Qin Empire is already the most powerful Great Qin Empire in history, and even the Eastern Emperor Qi State and the Southern Heavenly Hegemony Chu State are in the hands of the Great Qin Empire commanded by Qin Wangji.
But it was such a powerful Great Qin Empire, but it suffered setbacks one after another in front of the Zhao State, which was not even a hegemon-level country.
What makes Qin Wangji even more unacceptable is that Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao State, is still just a guy who is not even more than thirty years old, a person who is the grandchild of Qin Wangji!
The mighty king suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Could it be that he is really old?
At this time, Qin Wangji suddenly remembered what his own Xiangbang Fan Sui had said in front of him and the ministers of Qin State a few days ago.
……
Do you really want to negotiate peace with Zhao Dan's kid?
