Chapter 979: The Danger in Hanzhong (First Update)
Zhao Kuo was tempted.
Of course Zhao Kuo will be tempted, after all, this is a splashing credit.
If Qin Wang Chu can be caught, no matter whether this Qin Wang Chu is dead or alive, Zhao Kuo will definitely be a great contributor to the battle to destroy Qin, and no one can compare with him.
But Zhao Kuo also hesitated, that is, Qin Wang Chu, as the monarch of Qin, must have a lot of troops around him, but Zhao Kuo now has more than 4,000 less than 5,000 Zhao army soldiers around him, although the morale between the two sides must be completely different, but this does not mean that Zhao Jun will win.
Moreover, Nanzheng is the largest city in Hanzhong County of Qin State, whether or not this city can be conquered, Zhao Kuo's heart is not very confident.
After so many battles, Zhao Kuo is no longer the hot-blooded young man he was ten years ago.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Kuo immediately continued to ask the two or five hundred masters of the Qin State in front of him: "Tell me, how many troops are there in Nanzheng City?" β
These two or five hundred lords are obviously also a smart person, as soon as they saw Zhao Kuo's appearance, they naturally thought of Zhao Kuo's next approach, and hurriedly said: "General Hui, there are about 50,000 people in Nanzheng City now, but I heard that half of them were temporarily recruited by the king, and only the remaining half were regular troops who were withdrawn from Guanzhong with the king. β
"Fifty thousand?" Zhao Kuo's brows furrowed when he heard this.
Although he is very confident in his own troops, this is a matter of one enemy and ten enemies...... It doesn't feel very reliable.
Zhao Kuo thought about it, and finally made up his mind: "Come on, pass the order, set off tomorrow morning, and go straight to Nanzheng!" β
Anyway, Zhao Kuo still decided to look for an opportunity first, after all, Qin Wang Chu's head was there, it was too tempting.
β¦β¦
And in the city of Nanzheng, Qin Wang Chu was furious.
"Idiots, they're all idiots!"
Qin Wang Chu's mentality collapsed.
In fact, since the retreat to Xianyang City, Qin Wang Chu's mentality has almost exploded, and when he knew that Lu Buwei had surrendered the city, Qin Wang Chu's whole person had completely fallen into a state that bordered on madness.
On the night of learning of this news, a furious Qin Wang Chu ordered the execution of hundreds of people, including many officials who followed Qin Wang Chu and were believed to be old to LΓΌ Buwei.
No one dared to dissuade Qin Wang Chu, even though many people knew very well in their hearts that LΓΌ Buwei's real henchmen had actually surrendered to the Zhao army with LΓΌ Buwei in Xianyang City.
After that day, Qin Wang Chu had been in a state of rage, and anything would make him furious.
"The widow has just arrived in Hanzhong, and the people of Zhao have already come? The widow wants to ask you and others, what is the use of the widow raising these generals and ministers? King Chu of Qin foamed at the mouth, slapped the table with both hands, and in front of him was a row of trembling ministers of the Qin State.
Speaking of which, these ministers of the Qin State are also very hard, and they loyally follow their own king all the way to escape, not only are they frightened, but they are also scolded every day.
In Qin Wangchu's scolding, many people secretly turned their eyes to Cai Ze.
Today's Cai Ze is already the new prime minister of Qin.
If it had been placed before, this would have been a decision that made Cai Ze's heart flutter, but now Cai Ze didn't have any expression on his face, but he still had a dignified face.
The current Qin State is a complete mess, and whoever is in charge of this mess will definitely not be happy.
However, Cai Ze also knows very well in his heart that at this time, only he can say a few words.
So Cai Ze coughed and said: "King, now that the Zhao army is menacing, the old minister thinks that Nanzheng is no longer a safe place, and he also asks the king to retreat south quickly and enter Bashu first." β
The arduous march these days was a very big test for Qin Wang Chu and the ladies and ministers around him, both physically and mentally.
In addition, don't look at Guanzhong and Hanzhong are separated by a Qinling Mountains, but it is precisely because of the existence of this mountain that the difference between the two sides is very large, both in terms of geography and climate.
So even if he was in a hurry to run away, after coming to Nanzheng, Qin Wang Chu had to listen to the call from below and take a break here.
After hearing Cai Ze's words, Qin Wang Chu was excited, and the whole person suddenly became a little sober.
The current Qin Wang Chu, his feelings about Zhao Guo in his heart are quite complicated, he gritted his teeth with hatred and hoped that Zhao State would perish tomorrow, but when he really found that Zhao Jun was in front of him, he became very scared again.
Qin Wang Chu thought for a while and snorted coldly: "Since the Zhao army has arrived in Chenggu, do you know if there will be a Zhao army striker who has already arrived in Nanzheng?" β
The implication is very obvious, if the forward of the Zhao people has already reached Nanzheng, then now that Qin Wang Chu chooses to run out of the city, won't he crash into the pocket of the Zhao people?
Cai Ze couldn't help but glance at Wei Yu when he heard this.
Because of Wang Qian, the Wang clan has now completely lost power in the Qin army, so Wei Yu, who was a nobody two years ago, has now become the supreme military commander of the entire Great Qin under the protection of Cai Ze.
However, Wei Yu did not live up to the trust of Qin Wang Chu, at least judging from the performance of the past few days, Wei Yu at least stabilized the morale of the army, did not let a large-scale rout happen, and the chaos of the entire Qin army was also effectively contained, which was much better than the general situation of refugees when he just fled into the Bao Chuan Road.
Wei Yu understood, immediately stood up, and said to Qin Wang Chu: "Great King, it has been found out that the general of Zhao who occupied Chenggu City is Zhao Kuo. Inferred from the time, Zhao Kuo should have gone south along the Meridian Road after the Battle of the West River. According to the reports of the scouts, the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo is not much, it should be about four or five thousand people. β
"Four or five thousand?" Qin Wang Chu suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Wei Yu, can you annihilate this Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo?" β
Wei Yu paused for a moment, and then said, "The minister will do his best." β
It can be seen that Qin Wang Chu is obviously quite dissatisfied with this answer, and when he was about to attack, Cai Ze on the side obviously had already noticed this situation, and hurriedly said: "King, the top priority is to quickly withdraw to Shuzhong, as for the war on the Hanzhong side, let General Wei Yu be responsible." β
Qin Wang Chu snorted heavily, and then stood up: "Then what are you still doing in a daze?" Drive immediately, the widow is going to Chengdu! β
