Chapter 990: Wind and Rain (Second Update)

After seeing Qin Wang Chu faint, Cai Ze's fright was really extraordinary.

Okay, why did you faint?

"Palace doctor, quickly pass on the palace doctor!"

The whole palace was suddenly full of chickens and dogs.

After tossing for half an hour, a palace doctor who was about the same age as Cai Ze wiped the sweat from his sideburns and said to Cai Ze: "Gang Chengjun is a little restless, the king is just fainting because of anger and weakness." I have already given the king a soothing soup, as long as I let the king sleep and rest for a day. ”

As soon as Cai Ze heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The dignified Great Qin Monarch, if he was scared to death just because he heard the news that the Zhao army was advancing into Bashu, this would be too embarrassing, right?

And speaking of which, if King Chu of Qin really dies, this black cauldron that scared the monarch to death will also be detained on Cai Ze's head, which is inevitably too wronged.

By Cai Ze's side, a group of ministers of the Qin State had already gathered, and now since Qin Wang Chu would not be sober for a while, then everyone would naturally only look forward to Cai Ze.

Someone asked: "Gang Chengjun, now that the Zhao army has entered Bashu, what should we do?" ”

Everyone looked at Cai Ze with blank eyes, waiting for Cai Ze to come up with an idea.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

Bad news often spreads very quickly, so not long after Cai Ze learned the news, almost all the ministers of the Qin State in Chengdu also knew about it.

The current ministers of the Qin State are like drowning people, very blindly trying to grasp a life-saving straw - regardless of whether this straw is useful or not, at least it must be there first, so that people can feel at ease.

Cai Ze faced the begging eyes of the groups around him, where did he not know what these colleagues meant?

But the question is - what good ideas can Cai Ze have now? can only comfort: "Everyone, don't be impatient, everything will be decided when the king wakes up." ”

Watching the many ministers of the Qin State leave with sighs, Cai Ze stood there silently, with a little hesitation on his old face.

Cai Ze is not the kind of minister who can govern the country and command the army, so in every war, he can only sit in the rear and engage in logistics, and do his part for the soldiers on the front line.

But now that the soldiers on the front line have lost one after another, it is clear that they can't defeat the Zhao people, and the diplomatic situation of the entire continent makes the Qin State have no room for vertical and horizontal cooperation, what can Cai Ze do?

What happened in the Xianyang Palace spread throughout the city of Chengdu at an extremely fast speed.

Rumors will always be exaggerated and amplified on the way to spread, and then slowly turn into a rumor.

When it becomes a rumor, the truth is far from the original rumor.

At nightfall, the rumor in Chengdu City was still that "300,000 Zhao troops have broken through Jiameng Pass, and they will be under Chengdu within ten days", but by the middle of the night, this rumor has become "500,000 Zhao troops have all crossed Jiameng Pass, and the forward is only three days away from Chengdu City", and by the early hours of the morning, the rumor has become "800,000 Zhao troops are less than 100 miles away from Chengdu City, and the forward of Zhao Army is at most 20 miles away from Chengdu City." ”

One can imagine how much panic such rumors will cause to the residents of Chengdu.

But what is even more frightening is that when these residents of Chengdu City dragged their families and wanted to leave the city early the next morning, they were told that the entire city had been completely closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without a warrant from Cai Ze, the king of Chengdu.

A large number of residents of the city gathered on the road inside the city gate, and after learning the news, a clash broke out with the soldiers defending the city.

However, these soldiers of the Qin army may not be able to defeat the Zhao people in the war, but when they are faced with the unarmed common people, their ferocity is successfully stimulated.

After a few dense rains of arrows passed, the crowd of people who had been excited suddenly dispersed and returned to their homes, leaving only endless cursing sounds.

It was also on this day that Cai Ze, the prime minister of Qin, suffered the most serious wave of skepticism in his short career so far.

Many Qin ministers thought that it was not very appropriate to close Chengdu so early now, and Cai Ze should immediately lift the lockdown and reopen all the gates of Chengdu City.

And a group of Qin ministers believed that with the current momentum of the Zhao army, continuing to hold on to Chengdu City was simply a dead end, and Cai Ze should immediately lead the soldiers and civilians in the city to evacuate Chengdu City.

Some of the ministers didn't speak, but their eyes showed that their thoughts weren't as calm as they seemed.

A court meeting in the absence of a king in less than an hour seemed as long as a century for Cai Ze.

But Cai Ze did not give in.

In fact, it was not an easy thing to bring to the knees of a person who controlled the Tiger Fu and the entire Qin army.

As soon as Cai Ze gave an order, the swordsmen rushed in and directly beheaded the heads of several ministers of the Qin State who accused Cai Ze the loudest.

You must know that Cai Zecai was a doctor of the Qin State for several years before he became Xiangbang, and he was in charge of the laws of the entire Qin State.

When the colleagues who were alive just now had fallen in a pool of blood, and when the heads of the colleagues were raised high by the bloodthirsty swordsmen and axemen, all dissent in the hall disappeared in an instant.

Cai Ze, who had a calm face, finally confirmed that no one would raise any objections after three consecutive questions.

So Cai Ze didn't do anything, and simply imprisoned all the ministers of the Qin State who opposed him, leaving only those ministers who were neutral or originally belonged to Cai Ze's faction.

Later that day, the city's Qin army began to manhunt for those who spread rumors throughout the city.

Hundreds of heads fell to the ground, and the panic in Chengdu began to be initially contained.

But with the defeat of 30,000 Qin troops entering the city three days later, this panic reached a climax again.

Seven days later, Zhao's army finally arrived.

Li Mu led the army of Zhao under his command, swept all the towns and villages that passed through steadily, and then advanced step by step to the outside of Chengdu.

By this time, it was already very clear in everyone's hearts that the Great Qin Empire, which had once been the world's mighty, seemed to be really about to usher in its final battle.

Survival or death, it all depends on the Chengdu offensive and defensive battle this time.
