In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, under the heavy snow, there was no joy on the cold face of Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin. And it's not just because of the fighting on the front lines – the early hours of August – the results of the grain statistics are far from encouraging. In October, the corn production in all counties was reported to be reduced. Corn production has decreased, Zhao Di has just occupied it for a year, agriculture has not fully recovered, and corn has to be transported to Zhao again.

Dealing with enemies is not the same as dealing with oneself. If the Qin army did not occupy the land of Zhao, the more Zhao people died, the better, and now that the Qin army has occupied the land of Zhao and Xianyang has stationed officials, it is the responsibility of Great Qin to ensure that there is grain to sell in the market.

Zhao needs grain, Henan, Jiuyuan, and Yunzhong, which are not yet self-sustaining, also need grain, and there are huge wars in winter, all of which make the country's leaders in a great hunger. If it was before, Qianshou could eat Korea, Wei, ......and Zhao, but now that Han Zhao is dead, and Wei has Jing people on his side, Qianshou has no way to eat.

In addition to the grain, Li Xin was defeated again, and the 180,000 Qin army was wiped out. The only good news is that Mi Xuan gave birth to the eldest son of Jing State. If the situation in his day is really irreparable, for the sake of the Empress Dowager Huayang, Mi Xuan, as the queen of Jing, will help the Qin State to seek peace.

"King, although Li Xin was defeated, the army still exists, and the minister thinks that King Jing does not dare to insult him." The right prime minister, Wang Xuan, thought that Zhao Zheng was worried about the war, and he also persuaded him if he was not very familiar with military affairs. "The national lieutenant also made people pout the tombs of the people, and the people of Qi were angry, and they should fight with me. Qi people ......"

Listening to a civil servant like Wang Juan talk about the war, Zhao Zheng inevitably felt stiff, he summoned Wang Juan not because of the war. Coughing, Zhao Zheng, who turned back to his thoughts, asked in a deep voice: "How much corn is still in the country?" ”

"The ...... corn in the country" Wang Wanluo paused, he recalled the statistics on the count, and said: "But it can be in the middle of the year." ”

"Mid-year?" The middle of the year is April and May, and Guanzhong and Jindi, which do not grow winter wheat, must wait until September to have new millet.

"Dare to ask the king, will you fight after winter?" Wang Juan also asked. If the Qin army can't eat other countries, after April and May, Qianshou can only eat taro and boiled soybean. If spring ploughing is delayed, then you will have to eat grass in the coming year.

"To fight or not to fight, it's not just in my Great Qin." Zhao Zheng's brows couldn't help but be depressed. The Jing people have pulled out Hanzhong County, and it is very likely that they will attack Guanzhong along Chencang Road, if that is the case, there will be no Ning Ri in Guanzhong.

"If that's the case," Wang Wan's face instantly became bitter, "If there is a mistake in spring plowing this year, there will be ...... less millet production."

"Even if it is herbivory, it will be destroyed!" Zhao Zheng clenched his fists and spat out such a sentence. Jing has won Hanzhong, if Qin can't destroy Qi and replenish the already empty warehouse with Qi materials, he will really have to bow down to the Jing people one day.

The king was resolute, and Wang Juan could only promise. When he retreated after the political affairs were discussed, Zhao Zheng, who had no intention of reading the official documents, once again sent a message to Wang Jianjun. There is no doubt about the importance of the Qi State, and in the series of arrangements of the National Governor's Mansion, the final foothold is still the Qi State. This is also the reason why Wei Yi went to Wang Qian's army and sat in charge in person.

The news of urging the battle spread to the outside of Pingyin, and the shogunate guard was not the slightest surprised when he heard the news, he read the simple and simple news lightly, and still played against Wang Jian quietly. Although Wang Jian was old, he might not be able to calm down at this time, and it didn't take long for him to ask, "I don't know what the king means?" ”

"The king has no intention." Wei Yi replied lightly and didn't say anything.

"If the king has no intention of ......" Wang Jian smiled and shook his head again and again. He had already heard the result of the Battle of Xiangcheng, the Qin army had lost 180,000 troops, Li Xin had lost half of his troops, and the Chu army was still pursuing. If he can't fight the Qi army in a decisive battle and defeat the Qi people before the Chu army pursues to Xinzheng, the Chu army that continues to advance and pulls out Xinzheng is likely to return to Korea.

What will be the consequences of recovering Korea Wang Jian can't imagine, but if the Chu army pulls out Luoyang and even Hangu Pass again, then the situation in Henan will completely collapse, and no matter how dull people are, they will know that the general trend of the Qin State has gone. When the Qin State was the overlord of the world, countless people took refuge in the Qin State, and now the Qin State is about to lose, and these people will change their ways and change hands.

"Report ——!" Wang Jian was worried, and the military report suddenly came. He couldn't ask the scout directly, it was the marquis Wang Le who asked in the big tent. In Wang Qian's frequent retrospective, Wang Le tended to come over. "Captain Yu, General Yu, Qi people......" Wei Yi, who was silent, heard that Qi Ren's eyes lit up, and then he looked as if nothing had happened just now. … Qi people reprimanded and rode out of four places. ”

"Really?!" Wang Jian grabbed Wang Le.

"Indeed." Wang Le smiled, "Qi people want to hit me." ”

Wang Le entered the tent to report the news, and Wang Ben, Wang Ao, and Qiang followed into the account. There can only be one explanation for the repulsion of the four horses, that is, the Qi people want to go out of the battle, which is exactly the battle that everyone dreams of.

"Great goodness!" The generals spoke in unison, and they looked eager to line up and fight now. Only Wei Yi was indifferent, he smiled and said: "Qi people are wise, if it is Jing people, as soon as the horse comes out, they will fight with me tomorrow, but Qi people are not." ”

People are always different, and this difference continues to settle in the bone marrow after 2,000 years. Wei Yan's scoop of cold water instantly extinguished the hopes that the generals had just ignited, and even Wang Qian, who had always been calm, looked at Wei Yan with extreme disappointment. Is the Qin State really going to be defeated? The others are not Qin people, but they are old Qin people.

"The Qin people did only have 150,000 soldiers...... "Pingyin Sai Shogunate, the general Tian Gu carried a big dustpan crown, and the Qi army generals were all in the tent, and I heard the report of the reprimanded general Tian Yan." There is no cavalry in the army, and what the Chu people said is that the Qin cavalry is in Xiangcheng, which is correct. ”

An Ping Juntian, who sat in the chief, was described as mighty, but his face was a little gloomy. In the past few days, the doctor of Linzi Zhengchao has constantly reprimanded him for his incompetence, 300,000 troops are stationed in Jixi, and the Qin army outside the Saiwai is only 150,000, but he allows the Qin cavalry to break into the pass and attack Linzi. The Zheng Dynasty was already discussing the removal of him from his post as a general, and only the former Grand Sima Tianzong was helping him speak.

My father only recovered the Qi country with the soldiers of Jimo District, and he had an army of 300,000 but let the Qin people ravage the Qi capital. Tian So, who has always regarded himself very highly, is not in a good mood at all. He glanced at Tian Yan and asked, "Where did the Qin Cavalry come from to attack Linzi?" ”

"General Yu, the subordinates thought that the Qin people did not enter Qi from the Great Wall, but crossed the Jishui on the left bank of Jishui to enter Qi." Tian Yan summarized many reprimands and expressed his judgment.

"Is there really no cavalry in the Qin camp?" Tian asked again. "The Qin people are deceitful, if the cavalry is pretended to be a royal hand, I don't know."

"General, if there are cavalry troops in the Qin camp, there should be a cavalry for transportation, and the cavalry will be regarded as its heavy chariot, and half of Thailand will be corn and less of it." Tian Yan was not a novice, and his father was one of the few Qi generals left over from the reign of King Qi. The father is a scout, and the son is also a scout, and the reconnaissance of the Qin army is very meticulous. "The captured Qin soldiers also said that there were no cavalry soldiers in the camp."

"The Chu people's news report should be correct." The right general Tian Luo glanced at Tian Gu, he was originally the general of the Qi army, but the king lost power, and the doctor of the dynasty took Tian Gu as the general. "It is reported that the Chu and Zhao armies suffered more than 80,000 casualties, all thanks to 40,000 Qin cavalry. If Yu Fen is not in Xiangcheng, where will the more than 80,000 casualties come from? ”

Tian Luo's tone was a little critical, Qin Jun had been outside the fortress for more than half a month, and the situation was basically clear. Ketian was so afraid that he didn't dare to fight with Wang Qian. Wang Qian's army of 500,000 is enough, Wang Jian only has 150,000 now, but the Qi army is 300,000, 300,000 against 150,000, even if it is impossible to win this battle in vain.

Tian Luo's attitude is like this, and General Zuo Tian Shu is playing a round, he said: "Soldiers are a major matter of the country, and prudence may not be wrong." ”

"Caution?" Tian Luo smiled. "The tomb of the king of Qi was excavated by the Qin people, and the bones of the ancestors were burned by the Qin people, so why be careful? The Chu people despise me Qi people, the Zhao people despise me Qin people, and even the little Yue people despise me Qi people. Why? I am cowardly, wise and courageous. ”

The more Tian Luo spoke, the more angry he became, including Tian Gu, the faces of the generals present became very ugly. A few days ago, the river was frozen, and the Yue pawn who withdrew from the river had a grudge against the plain Jin Shangjia, so he deliberately landed on the shore to laugh when he passed by, and told the Qi people to close the city gate and pray to God every day on the day of the ice, otherwise we will not be able to protect each other, and you will be wise and useless, and you will be captured by the Qin people.

Yue Zu is not the pawn of the Yue Kingdom in the past, but the subordinates of the king of Min Yue, these Nanban who can't even afford to wear a shirt and only wrap an apron dare to call themselves the protectors of the Qi State, and the news reached Linzi, and the Linzi government and the opposition were in an uproar.

When Tian Luo mentioned this, Tian Gu's face couldn't hold back, and he said unhappily: "To fight or not to fight, it is all in the situation of the enemy and me." The Qin people have been attacking me for a long time, but before it is in decline, he is anxious to fight and I am not in a hurry to fight, why fight? ”

Tian Gu is not a calm person, but his words are very calm. Tian Luo didn't say anything more, got up and said, "In this case, the last general will retire." ”

"Report ——!" Tian Luo did not leave the account, and the news came from outside the account again. "General Yu, the Qin people are retreating!"

"Qin people ......" Tian thought he had heard it wrong, and reprimanded the cavalry and reported it loudly again, before he asked: "Qin people are really retreating?" ”

"Whether it is true or not, you can see it at the top of the wall." Since Tian Luo had already retired, he did not stay in the tent, and after leaving the tent, he went straight to the wall and looked at the retreating Qin army under the wall.

After more than half a month of hard work, the large trench outside the fortress was filled out by the Qin army as a wide and low-lying road. The snow fell on it, and it was white. The Qin soldiers in the camp of the Qin army behind the trench were collecting the black tent, the horses were neighing and the cattle were mooing, and the chariots and rushing cars that had been built with great difficulty in the camp were set on fire, the flames were not big, and the Su He who ignited the fire was caught with ice and snow, and bursts of white smoke came out as soon as it burned. The Qin army was originally attacking the fortress, but now even the car and the car are burning, which is really to retreat.

"The Qin army retreated." Tian Luo went up to the wall, and Tian Gu, Tian Shu and others also went up to the wall one after another. As soon as he saw that the Qin army was even burning the car and rushing the car, no one doubted the retreat.

"Now that the Qin people have retreated, what about our army?" Looking at some of the Qin soldiers who went south from the camp, a marshal of the five towns couldn't help but ask.

No one answered. This is both a good thing and a bad thing, the good thing is that maybe in the future, Qin and Chu will fight each other, and the Qi country will benefit, and the bad thing is that the tomb of the king of Qi was destroyed by the Qin people, and the corpse of the ancestor was burned by the Qin people, and the 300,000 army actually sat back and watched the Qin people retreat, and he would be laughed at by the world one day.
