Xianyang City.

Lu Buwei sat there silently, staring at the tense atmosphere of the hall in front of him.

Qin Wang Chu was slapping the table.

No matter who sits in Qin Wang Chu's position, after hearing the bad news from the front line, he will be as furious as Qin Wang Chu.

To be honest, Qin Wang Chu, who slapped the table, was already in a better temper, if he had changed to a more irritable one, I am afraid that a few lives would have been lost by now.

"What the hell did this Wang Jian do, the widow gave him an army of 200,000, but he couldn't even beat Li Mu's 50,000 people? Or like a widow asking for reinforcements? ”

The roar of Qin Wang Chu's face kept echoing in the main hall, and his face was cloudy, just like the situation during a thunderstorm.

Except for Lu Buwei, who had a calm face, all the ministers of the Qin State present played the role of an ostrich very well, and they all buried their heads low, not daring to face the anger of Qin Wang Chu at all.

Lu Buwei's eyes moved to Cai Ze's body, looking at Cai Ze who was nervous and helpless, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

Cai Ze, Cai Ze, didn't you think you were very rampant at the beginning? Didn't he say that he wanted to fight against Zhao State? Well, now I want to see how you clean up the situation, how you can eliminate the king's displeasure!

Speaking of which, Lu Buwei's heart was actually a little surprised, after all, if Lu Buwei wanted to come, how could Wang Jian have 200,000 people in his hands, as long as he returned to the division, it was estimated that Li Mu would have to retreat directly.

As a result, one thing that made Lü Buwei and the entire Qin court drop their jaws was that Li Mu actually beat Wang Jian back with 50,000 to 200,000, and then firmly clamped Wang Qian's troops on the west bank of Luoshui, without taking a single step forward.

Lü Buwei was actually able to understand Qin Wang Chu's dissatisfaction.

Think about it, the 200,000 people in Wang Qian's hands now are almost the largest troops that the Qin State can come up with.

If these 200,000 people can only open five or five of the 50,000 cavalry in Li Mu's hands, then when Lian Po leads the main force of the Zhao army into Guanzhong and attacks Li Mu on both sides, how can this be played?

This is the reason why Qin Wang Chu was furious, and everyone could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

No one dared to speak at this time, and no one was able to speak at this time.

Say what? Say that the strength of the Qin army is too weak? Isn't this a direct slap in the face of Qin Wang Chu.

That says Wang Jian is a scumbag? But the problem is that Wang Jian is also a person appointed by Qin Wang Chu, and it seems that he is still slapping Qin Wang Chu in the face.

Well, even if Wang Jian is removed, who can be on now? Wang Jian Wang Ling is a player who has been abused? Or are they the rookie generals who haven't proven themselves at all?

All in all, now the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State suddenly found that they seemed to be in an inexplicable predicament.

Lu Buwei watched all this quietly, and suddenly felt the pleasure of sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai.

Speaking of which, in fact, Lü Buwei's identity is the most suitable for coming out and thinning the mud at this time, but Lü Buwei does not intend to speak at this time.

Everyone knew that Lü Buwei advocated recuperation from the beginning and did not want to start a war with Zhao State immediately.

The problem is that Qin Wang Chu did not adopt his opinion in the end.

If the Qin State won this battle, then it is not said that Lü Buwei must obediently and pretend to be a grandson for the first time, admit the wisdom of his own king, strive for the king's understanding, and then find a way to win back a city when he faces Cai Ze next time.

But now it's different, the current Qin State has lost, and it has lost very badly.

So this situation is interesting.

Lü Buwei is not in a hurry now, not at all.

According to Lu Buwei's thoughts, it is best for Wang Jian to make some small mistakes, and then be defeated by Li Mu and flee, this is the time when he should stand up and clean up the mess.

At that time, whether Qin Wang Chu was willing or not, the power to negotiate peace must be placed in the hands of Lü Buwei.

With this power, Lü Buwei was able to quietly pit the Qin State in the name of helping the Qin State more openly, so as to achieve the goal of allowing the Zhao State to unify the Qin State and even the entire world as soon as possible.

To be honest, now Lü Buwei doesn't take the position of the prime minister of the Qin State very seriously.

Looking at the current situation in the world, the unification of Zhao seems to be a completely unstoppable thing.

Speaking of which, Lu Buwei was also a little incredulous, the promise that the young king made to himself seven years ago could really be fulfilled one day.

I really have a chance to be the ruler of the whole world!

Although it is said that he still has to be subservient to the king, but in the case of Lü Buwei himself, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Don't forget that although Lü Buwei keeps saying that he is a descendant of Lu Taigong, he himself knows very well that the Lu family's Qi Kingdom has long since perished, and who cares about the descendants of Lu Taigong now? In the eyes of most people, Lü Buwei is just a businessman.

A guy from a businessman can finally truly become a state of affairs under one person and above ten thousand people in the entire Chinese world, what is there not to be satisfied with?

What's more, according to the current script, Lü Buwei's grandson will become the next generation of Zhao kings!

A man with the blood of Lü Buwei sits on the throne of the world, is there anything more happier in the world?

Just when Lu Buwei was imagining a better life in the future, he suddenly heard the voice of Qin King Chu Yin's compassion: "Gang Chengjun, if the widow is not mistaken, it was you who strongly recommended this Wang Jian to be the coach at the beginning, right?" Now that this battle is fought like this, don't you have anything to say to the widow? ”

As soon as Cai Ze heard Qin Wang Chu's words, the cold sweat of the whole person began to fall.

What Qin Wang Chu said is really not wrong, the pair of Wang Jian and Wei Yi is actually recommended by Cai Ze.

But the problem is that when Cai Ze recommended Wang Jian as the main general, he really didn't have any selfish intentions.

Because it is well known that the reason why Wang Jian rose was because he quelled the rebellion of Yangquan Jun Michen.

And in that rebellion, the person who had the deepest connection with Wang Jian was not Cai Ze, but Lü Buwei.

So if you have to put a mark on Wang Qian, then it is estimated that it is easier for people to believe that he is Lu Buwei's person.

Therefore, in all fairness, when Cai Ze recommended Wang Qian, he really felt that there was a little hope that Qin Guo would be able to pair up with Li Mu for a guy like Wang Jian now.

In fact, Cai Ze felt that Wang Jian had also done the best he could.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and the study of the enemy was a very important topic in the Warring States period.

Cai Ze is one of the earliest people in the Qin State to devote himself to studying the Zhao State, perhaps this is related to the fact that Cai Ze once met with the King of Zhao back then.

It is precisely because of this research that Cai Ze feels that cavalry is a type of soldier that really can't be counted purely by quantity.

In Cai Ze's own opinion, as long as the 50,000 cavalry of the Zhao State were under the right conditions, they would not be able to exert the ability of hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 troops.

Considering that Wang Jian has just taken charge of the army, his command ability and integration of the army are still in progress, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army itself is also in a relatively weak period, it seems that there is nothing surprising to be able to achieve such a result.

But Cai Ze understands the truth, the question is can he say it in front of Qin Wang Chu?

Of course not......

Originally, Qin Wang Chu was in a rage now, and at this time he jumped out and said, "The reason why the king's Qin State lost the battle is because the army is too weak, the enemy is too strong, and Wang Jian is too young...... "This is not the old birthday star hanging himself - is it too long."

The baby is bitter, but the baby can't say it.

So Cai Ze had no choice but to put on a smile on his face, and said to Qin Wang Chu, who was unhappy in front of him: "Don't worry, from the old minister's point of view, the reason why this Wang Jian is like this is mainly because he was caught off guard by Li Mu. The king must also know that fighting on the plains is the strength of the cavalry of the Zhao army, and it is natural for Wang Jian to suffer some losses because he is weak and strong. As long as Wang Jian can learn a lesson, then defeating Li Mu is also a natural thing. ”

After listening to Cai Ze's words, Qin Wang Chu's face finally got better, but he still said with some unhappiness: "Gang Chengjun, it's not that the widow is impatient, how critical the situation is facing Daqin now, I don't think you need to say that you also know it." If it was in the time of King Zhao and King Hui, the widow could let Wang Jian grow slowly, but not now! You should understand what the widow means, right? ”

Cai Ze nodded and said, "The king's hard work, the ministers naturally understand, and Wang Jian must also remember the five." The minister is not defending Wang Qian, but what the minister wants to remind the king is that Zhao Guo has recently used a weapon called Heaven-shaking Thunder, which is also one of the reasons why the battle situation has become difficult. ”

"Earthquake Thunder?" As soon as Qin Wang Chu heard this, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

If you want to select a "the hottest word in China in 252 BC", the three words "earth-shaking thunder" are definitely the first, killing all other words in seconds.

As soon as this weapon with extraordinary power appeared, the originally tall and sturdy city walls seemed to have completely turned into a joke.

It only takes a loud bang to turn the hundred-year-old city walls into floating clouds.

What's worse is that this weapon is only in the hands of Zhao Guo!

Originally, the cavalry of the Zhao State was dominant, and it was uncomfortable enough to have a monster like armored cavalry.

But although the armored cavalry at that time was strong, at least the armored cavalry had a very obvious shortcoming, that is, the armored cavalry could not break through the city wall.

Now as soon as this earth-shattering thunder comes out, the problem that the armored cavalry can't break through the city wall is gone.

The fall of Jingyang City is enough to show how powerful it can be when the armored cavalry and the earth-shaking thunder are combined.

The ghost knows when Li Mu suddenly sent a force to appear outside Xianyang City, and then the earth-shaking thunder roared, and the city was broken for the third time......

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Wang Chu couldn't sleep well at all.

Due to intelligence reasons, the people of the Qin State did not know that the power of the earth-shaking thunder was actually not enough to blast through a city wall like Xianyang City.

Qin Wang Chu rubbed his temples with a headache, and then said slowly: "Didn't you say that the Heaven Shaking Thunder can only be used during the siege of the city?" You don't want to tell the widow that Zhao Guoren has already used the Heaven-Shaking Thunder in the battle with Wang Qian, right? ”

Cai Ze smiled helplessly and said, "King, that's exactly the case. ”

As soon as Cai Ze's words came out, the hall resounded with the sound of gasping one after another.

Because he had just glanced at the battle report, Qin Wangchu couldn't wait to find someone to scold the street, so not only did Qin Wangchu not understand the specific situation, but most of the ministers present also did not understand the specific situation.

But now Qin Wang Chu knows.

……

It's better not to know.

What's more, now it's good, the Sky Shaking Thunder is not only used during sieges, but even in sports battles in the wild!

In this way, wouldn't this earth-shattering thunder have completely become a flawless and flawless super killer?

As soon as he thought of this, Qin Wang Chu's eyes turned black for a while, and he suddenly had an urge to faint immediately.

The life of a widow, why is it so bitter!
