The front line of the Intramuros.

When Wang Yi finished reading the letter from Xianyang City on the front line, the leading general of the Qin State was suddenly a little entangled.

After muttering for a long time, Wang Di opened his mouth and ordered to the soldiers beside him: "Go and call General Wang Ling quickly." ”

A moment later, Wang Ling appeared in front of Wang Di.

"The general is calling, but what is the emergency military situation?"

Wang Yi said: "Your previous judgment was not wrong, the cavalry of the Zhao army that went south from Shangjun was just a disguise, the main force of the real Zhao cavalry had bypassed Luoshui, and now it has arrived outside Liyang City and surrounded Liyang City!" ”

"What?" Wang Ling's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say: "In this way, isn't Xianyang in danger?" How many cavalry members are there in this Zhao army? ”

Wang Yu snorted and said to Wang Ling: "Since it is a cavalry, it is naturally impossible to have too many men and horses. And judging from the secret report from the king, the cavalry of the Zhao State outside Xianyang City and Liyang City should add up to 20,000 people. ”

"20,000?" As soon as Wang Ling heard this number, his heart that had already been mentioned suddenly relaxed again, but he still said with some uncertainty: "How does the king want to solve this cavalry of the Zhao Kingdom?" ”

Wang Yi shook his head, held up the urgent report in his hand, and gestured towards Wang Ling.

Wang Ling reported this urgent report, and after a while, a wry smile appeared on his face: "The king...... This is a big problem for us. ”

"yes." Wang Yi rubbed his temples and said a little tiredly: "According to common sense, now that the defense line of Wangcheng is already tight, where can any troops return to Xianyang?" But since he already knew that Xianyang and Liyang were under the threat of the cavalry of Zhao State, how could he be indifferent as a courtier? If you don't come back to help, if something happens to Xianyang, won't you and I give others the truth? ”

Wang Ling also felt a little speechless, and only said after a while: "Then in the general's opinion, what should be done now?" ”

Wang Yi shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "I don't know." ”

The two looked at each other speechless for a while.

After a while, Wang Di broke the silence and asked Wang Ling, "How is the offensive of the Zhao people today?" ”

Wang Ling replied: "It is strange to say, today's Zhao army's offensive is obviously not as good as before...... I see! ”

Wang Ji and Wang Ling glanced at each other, and both of them suddenly realized.

The reason why Lian Po ordered the Zhao army to launch such a crazy offensive was that on the one hand, he wanted to test to see if he could break through the Qin army's defense line in one go, but on the other hand, he must have the intention of covering the cavalry troops that entered Guanzhong.

Now that the cavalry of the Zhao State has successfully entered Guanzhong, Lian Po, who has already achieved his intention, can naturally slow down the offensive and slowly figure it out.

Wang Ling frowned, and said to Wang Di: "General, there is actually another problem. Now that there are 20,000 cavalry of the Zhao State, the grain transportation route of the army has been cut off, and it must be solved as soon as possible. ”

Because the Qin people had been planning this battle for a long time, in Shaoliang City, which was close to the front line of the royal city, the Qin State had built a large granary.

But now the 200,000 army under Wang Di's command does nothing even every day, and everyone eats and chews an astronomical amount of expenditure.

After these days of fighting, even with the continuous support from the rear of Guanzhong, almost half of the grain and grass in the granary of Shaoliang City have been consumed.

If this cavalry of the Zhao army continues to do whatever it wants, then the front-line Qin army will not be empty talk.

Wang Yi stretched out his hand and slapped the table case hard, and said, "In any case, this time the cavalry of the Zhao State must be solved as soon as possible!" What is your plan? ”

But he kicked the ball back again.

Wang Ling's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a while, he said: "General, since Lian Po's side has begun to relax its offensive strength, it is better for me to quietly lead 30,000 elite reinforcements, plus the defenders in Xianyang City and Liyang City are attacked in three ways, and the cavalry of Zhao State will definitely be defeated." ”

Wang Yi pondered for a long time, and then slowly said, "Yes." In that case, then I will reply to Xianyang and let the king feel at ease. ”

Wang Ling nodded, his face a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.

But soon, this hesitation disappeared from Wang Ling's face.

Wang Ling turned around and strode towards the door of the big tent.

But Wang Ling's hesitation was clearly seen by Wang Ling, so when Wang Ling was about to walk out of the door of the big tent, Wang Ling stopped him.

"What the hell is going on?"

Wang Yi stared at Wang Ling with blazing eyes.

Although he didn't specify what one thing was, Wang Ling's heart was very clear, and Wang Ling must have understood what he was talking about.

Wang Ling hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but whisper: "I'm wondering, if that one has always been in command, will the outcome of these battles be the same as before?" ”

As soon as Wang Di heard this, his face immediately sank.

Of course, Wang Ji knew very well, who was the one in Wang Ling's words?

Wu Anjun rose in vain.

Wang Ling has always been one of Bai Qi's favorite generals.

But the question is, when Wang Ling said this kind of thing, wouldn't it be tantamount to directly questioning Wang Ling's lack of command?

After all, after Bai Qi lost his military power, the subsequent major battles of the Qin State were all led by Wang Di.

Therefore, Wang Yi glared at Wang Ling fiercely, and said sharply: "This is the king's order, and Hugh has to talk nonsense." Since we are the king's ministers, and since we are obeying the king's orders and being loyal to the king, how can you have such disrespectful thoughts! ”

Everyone knows very well that the person who took back Bai Qi's military power and put Bai Qi under house arrest is the current Qin Wangji, the monarch of the Qin State.

Therefore, Wang Ling's words are equivalent to directly questioning Qin Wangji's decision and slapping Wang Ji in the face by the way, no wonder Wang Ji was furious.

Looking at Wang Ling's departing figure, Wang Ling was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

The problem with the extended family is that because there are many, many people in these families, sometimes the interests of the individual and the interests of the family are not completely aligned.

For example, now Wang Ling is the real head of the Wang family, but Wang Yi knows very well in his heart that his brother Wang Ling has never been a person with him.

Wang Ling should belong to the people of the Bai Qi line.

Although it is said that Qin Wangji directly took down Bai Qi and seized Bai Qi's military power with extremely decisive means, the generals of the Bai Qi family like Wang Ling were not known to Qin Wangji and Fan Sui, but remained in the Qin army in large numbers.

Wang Ji knew very well what Qin Wangji and Fan Sui were doing this for.

This is, of course, to prevent Wang Yi from being the dominant family in the army, and to reproduce the style of Bai Qi that no one could check and balance.

Therefore, Wang Yi is his own bitterness, and his own family knows.

Wang Ling is nominally Wang Qi's brother, and it sounds like he should wear the same pants as Wang Qi, but in fact, if Bai Qi can have a chance to make a comeback, then Wang Ling must have raised his hands and agreed to let Bai Qi replace Wang Ji.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Yi felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart.

"Wang Ling, Wang Ling, you idiot, do you really think that after you completely stand on Bai Qi's side, you will be able to completely gain the trust of the king? You must know that no matter what, you are also surnamed Wang, and the king is not at ease with me, will he really rest assured of you? ”

It's a pity that these thoughts in Wang Ling's heart are impossible to say to Wang Ling face to face, and even if he does, Wang Ling will not believe Wang Ling's words.

After all, for the sake of power, the emperor's family can kill each other, let alone the Wang family?

And in Wang Di's mind, if the Wang clan can be split because of the infighting between Wang Di and Wang Ling, then this must be what Qin Wangji is happy to see, right?

……

Wang Yi sat there silently, as if he had completely transformed into a statue.

After a long time, a sigh came out.

"It's hard, it's hard!"
