Chapter 661: Let the Three Jin Dynasties know that Qin is still the overlord of the world
Following Yan Ju's order, Zhao Feiqi turned into golden lights and shadows, quickly passing through the several-meter-wide stream, bypassing Bai Qi, and the next second he appeared in front of the Qin troops who were setting fire, with his scimitar
With a slight wave towards the enemy, huge heads rose into the sky.
Wang Jian led the Longxi cavalry in pursuit. Zhao Feiqi aimed at the Longxi cavalry and fired a wave of arrows. Without looking at the results, he let out a burst of wild laughter and flew directly into the distance.
"Damn it." Wang Jian yelled angrily.
"Recruit the cavalry, don't set fire in the distance, just stay close." Bai Qi said calmly.
If he were in the Qin State, he could still rely on the human sea tactic to surround Zhao Feiqi bit by bit, but this is South Korea and it is a plain, and there is nothing he can do with these Zhao Feiqi.
However, Zhao Feiqi could not stop the Qin army from setting fire. At most, he could only let the Qin army reduce its scope.
There are farmlands on both sides of the road. Even if no cavalry is sent, all the crops in the entire field can be burned with a single strike of flint.
Zhao Feiqi's military spirit can indeed extinguish fires, but it cannot be extinguished forever. If Zhao Feiqi lost his mind and showed great kindness, and used his military spirit in such a place, it would be too late for Bai Qi to be happy.
When he gets to the battlefield, he will tell Zhao Feiqi the consequences of wasting the power of the military soul carelessly.
Zhao Feiqi saw that the Qin army did not pursue him, so he ran for a certain distance and then stopped.
"General, if the Qin army doesn't come out, they will just set fire to the roadside." Li Qian said.
Yan Ju had a worried look on his face. If it were an ordinary Qin army, he would have rushed forward and shot him. However, the Qin army's leader was Bai Qi, so he did not dare to act rashly.
He would rather be conservative and kill less Qin troops than put Zhao Feiqi in danger.
"We go around to the front and shoot the Qin army's scouts. Then we demolish the bridge to delay the Qin army's retreat." After a while, Yan Ju slapped his thigh and said loudly.
Since the Qin army chose to shrink, there is no need to entangle them and destroy their path forward.
Anyway, the bridge will definitely be demolished by the Qin army, so it is better to have the Zhao army demolish it directly, which can also delay the Qin army's march and buy time for the three Jin armies.
Wei Wuji led the Wei army on the road, and Tian Dan and Bao Yuan also led the Korean army to go south. Although Le Yi was still providing disaster relief, both Wei and South Korea had sent people to rescue the disaster, and Le Yi would be free to go south immediately.
Yan Ju didn't want to defeat Bai Qi, but even if he was disgusting, he was still good.
After all, there are not many people in the world who can make Bai Qi sick.
Soon, Bai Qi received the news that the bridge ahead was destroyed by Zhao Feiqi, and the bodies of more than a dozen scouts were also sent with him.
These scouts were equipped with the most sophisticated war horses in the Qin State, but their speed was still far behind Zhao Feiqi. By the time they saw Zhao Feiqi, they could no longer run away.
"Speed up and hurry up." Bai Qi sighed, feeling sick in his heart.
If Zhao Feiqi chooses to fight the Qin army, even if he cannot keep them all, Bai Qi is sure to teach Zhao Feiqi a profound lesson.
But Zhao Feiqi didn't want to fight the Qin army at all, and Bai Qi couldn't do it even if he had the means.
"There is no one else in the dignified military spirit army who can clean up some disgusting people." Wei Ran muttered.
Over the years, which Army Soul Corps has not been a brave one, even facing ten times the enemy, they still have the courage to draw their swords, including the former Zhao Feiqi.
Why has the painting style changed like this now?
It doesn't look like a military spirit army, but more like a rogue army.
In this way, under the harassment of Zhao Feiqi, the Qin army finally arrived at Rang County after a journey of less than ten days, but a full fifteen days' journey.
Three days later, Wei Wuji led 40,000 Wei troops to the east bank of Tuoshui and confronted the Qin army.
Four days later, Tian Dan and Bao Yuan led 50,000 Korean troops to the east bank of Tuoshui.
In the afternoon of the same day, Le Yi led Zhao Jun to arrive.
The messenger sent by Wei Wuji to the Chu State has returned, and the King of Chu has not agreed to attack the Qin State. Wei Wuji was not disappointed either. He originally just wanted to give it a try and did not expect to succeed.
"General, all nearby bridges and ships have been destroyed by the Qin army." Yan Ju said with clasped fists.
"I understand." Le Yi nodded, "Are there reinforcements from the Qin Army in the direction of Hanzhong and Nanjun?"
"Nothing was found." Yan Ju shook his head.
"Gentlemen, when will we start crossing the river?" Bao Yuan asked eagerly.
"Don't worry, Bai Qi still has tens of thousands of Qin troops in his hands. Even if our army is several times larger than the Qin army, it will be difficult to defeat the Qin army quickly. Bai Qi may even seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory. Yan Ju, Le Cheng
, you two will lead the cavalry to survey the surrounding terrain, verify whether the map is true, and complete it." Le Yi said.
He was more cautious than ever before. Standing behind him were the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han, and behind Bai Qi was only Qin. What he wanted to do was not to think of ways to defeat Bai Qi, but not to make mistakes.
As long as he doesn't make mistakes, Bai Qi and Qin behind him will have no chance due to the absolute strength of Zhao, Wei and Han.
In Rang County, Bai Qi's face was ashen, and the desk in front of him was cut into two halves. Even Bai Qi's favorite book was thrown to the ground, and bamboo slips were scattered everywhere.
He is not angry with the Three Jin Army. No matter how angry the enemy makes him, he will remember it in his heart and then return it with the power of thunder, not like now.
The reason why Bai Qi can be so angry can only come from behind.
After such a long time, he still did not receive a reply from Qin Wangji.
No matter what, you should reply to me at least so that the front line can be prepared.
What does it mean to leave the army alone without saying a word now?
However, Bai Qi cannot retreat yet. Once he retreats, the armies of the Three Jin Dynasties can attack Wuguan in the west, then Hanzhong or Guanzhong, and Jiangling and Qianzhong in the south.
Hedong and Hanoi no longer belong to the Qin State, and Sanchuan will definitely not be preserved. If Jiangling and Qianzhong are lost again, then none of the territory he has won for the Qin State in the past decades will be left.
This situation is still good, but the worst case scenario is that the armies of the Three Jin Dynasties attack Guanzhong from Wuguan. Even if Qin wins, Guanzhong will be beaten into a mess, and it will not be able to recover for several years or even more than ten years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Over the years, it is not that Qin has never lost, but why do other countries fail to recover after every defeat? Even if they win, they have to wait for several years. Only Qin
Even if the war is defeated, can tens of thousands of troops be sent out the next year?
It is because the Qin State has always placed the battlefield on the enemy's territory. Even if it loses the battle, the enemy's territory will be destroyed. The homeland will not be damaged, giving the people of Qin the greatest protection and ensuring a steady stream of productivity.
Forty years ago, Tian Wen and Kuang Zhang broke through Hangu Pass and entered Guanzhong. Qin immediately ceded territory and sued for peace.
Five years ago, Zhao Kuo led the armies of the Three Jin Dynasties from Hedong into Guanzhong. Qin also immediately ceded territory and sued for peace.
Guanzhong is the foundation of the Qin State. As long as Guanzhong is not destroyed, the foundation of the Qin State will still be there.
Bai Qi didn't believe that Qin Wangji couldn't understand the importance of this matter.
"Calm down, come sit down and have a sip of tea." Wei Ran walked in with a teapot, looked at the table that was split into wooden boards on the ground, smiled, swept his sleeves, swept the bamboo slips aside, and sat down directly
On the ground, he poured two cups of tea and handed one cup to Bai Qi.
Bai Qi took the teacup with a stiff face. He might not drink the tea given to him by others, but he must drink it when Wei Ran handed him the tea.
Although his military achievements have surpassed Wei Ran's, and his reputation in the Six Kingdoms is unparalleled, reaching the point where a child can stop crying at night, Bai Qi still respects Wei Ran.
He is a proud man, but he also knows how to repay his kindness. Without Wei Ran's promotion, he might have died in a battle long ago. There would not be a single word of his record in the history books, let alone his achievements today.
"I heard that this tea was created by King Zhao. I didn't think it tasted good at first, but the more I drank, the more I drank it, and now I can't live without it. This King of Zhao is really interesting. Not only can he lead troops to fight and govern the country, but he can also
Study food and drink." Wei Ran said with a smile.
He is older than Bai Qi and has experienced more things than Bai Qi. Under his protection over the years, Bai Qi has not received too many blows from the court, resulting in a somewhat upright temperament, sometimes even disobeying King Qin's orders.
listen.
Wei Ran had been struggling in the Qin Kingdom for decades, experiencing ups and downs, and had experienced everything. After all the fiefs were taken back, only one fief in Taoyi was left, and he was expelled from Xianyang, Wei Ran looked away.
Moreover, he has sent his smartest grandson to the State of Zhao. With his grandson's ability, even if he cannot be granted a title as a general, he can still live well and continue his bloodline.
Of course, Wei Ran still has feelings for Qin, otherwise he would not choose to stay in Qin.
"What did Marquis Rang want to say?" Bai Qi did not sit on the ground.
"If you are a monarch and there are two generals in the court, one is very powerful and can win almost all battles, but he is not very obedient. The other general is not as powerful as the previous one, but he can win more and lose less.
, the most important thing is that no matter whether the monarch's order is right or wrong, he will strictly implement it. Which of these two generals do you prefer?" Wei Ran said.
"I am not a monarch, I am just a general. I can guarantee that my orders will not be wrong on the battlefield." Bai Qi stared at Wei Ran closely, "Besides, if the monarch makes mistakes, can't the ministers say it?"
The man in front of him and his sister had controlled the government of Qin for decades. Did they take the King of Qin seriously at that time?
"It's different now." Wei Ran sighed, "If the king were thirty years younger, even twenty, don't accuse him of doing something wrong, even if you pointed at his nose and scolded him, he would just smile.
, he might even give you a promotion. The older a person is, the more suspicious he becomes, and he will be full of doubts about everyone around him, and will become tense at the slightest sign of trouble. At this time, the old man can only coax him, and must not confront him. "
Why did Wei Ran leave Xianyang so suddenly in the first place? It was because he knew that if he didn't leave, he would definitely die in Xianyang.
After returning to the Kingdom of Qin, Wei Ran did not ask the King of Qin for a fiefdom once, because he knew that he wanted nothing. With his status as the uncle of the King of Qin, the King of Qin could not treat him badly. But if King Qin Ji suspected that he wanted to regain power,
That's it.
Don't think that because Qin Wangji is wiser than other monarchs, he can't do certain things. A monarch with a particularly high upper limit does not mean that the lower limit will also be high.
In fact, many things that set the lower limit were done by wise kings in history books.
It is a hundred times more difficult to serve as a minister to a wise king than to a faint king.
Bai Qi knew that Wei Ran was trying to save him. Since ancient times, few famous generals could live to the end of their lives. Wei Ran did not want to die in the hands of King Qin.
"General, I understand." After a while, Bai Qi suddenly spoke.
"As long as you understand, then I'll go back." Wei Ran got up from the ground, holding the teapot in one hand and the teacup in the other, and walked swaying towards the distance.
…
Xianyang.
For more than half a month, the court meeting and the large court meeting have been held countless times.
At the beginning, the courtiers were still discussing whether to withdraw the troops. Some ministers agreed to withdraw the troops, while others did not. The public said that the public was justified and the women said that the women were justified, but no one could convince anyone.
However, as a minister wrote a letter to denounce Bai Qi, he said that Bai Qi needs to take full responsibility for the defeat. People should be sent to the front line to take back Bai Qi's military power, take him to Xianyang, and execute his family.
From then on, the Great Court Meeting became a meeting to denounce Bai Qi. The dispute among the ministers was no longer whether they should withdraw their troops, but what kind of punishment Bai Qi should be sentenced to, whether he should be deprived of his title, sentenced to death, or his whole family beheaded.
…
As for the ministers who defended Bai Qi... there were none...
Bai Qi is not good at building relationships. He neither recruits clients nor interacts with ministers. His foundation is all in the military. There is no one of his in the court. In addition, he did lose this time. Who would risk making people angry?
Take the risk to speak for Bai Qi.
"Why is it that the imperial court of our Qin State is filled with such idiots?" Returning to the back hall, Qin Wangji roared angrily.
In the past, he was quite pleased with the ministers in the court, but now the more he looks at them, the more he gets a headache.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No matter how stupid he is, he can't do such a thing as capturing the commander on the front line and beheading him.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not about whether to retreat, but how to fight. The three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han have been pursuing them without any intention of retreating. They have now reached Rang County. Lord Wu'an and Ranghou are defending the three Jin states in Rang County.
Army." Fan Ju walked in from outside the hall and said with a wry smile.
Either side can start a war, but no one can decide its end.
However, Fan Ju felt a little lucky that there was no need to continue arguing in the court, and Sanjin had done a good thing.
"Get the map." Qin Wangji rubbed his temples and said helplessly.
Soon, the guard took the map and spread it on the table.
Qin Wangji found the location of Rang County and immediately frowned.
"How many troops does Lord Wu'an still have?" Qin Wangji asked.
"About 40,000," Fan Ju said.
"Where's Sanjin?"
"Currently there are about 150,000 troops, and we cannot rule out the possibility of reinforcements." Fan Ju said.
"How many more troops can our Qin State recruit now?" Qin Wangji asked.
"If we use all the efforts of the whole country, we can recruit another 250,000 troops." Fan Ju said.
"Then we will recruit 250,000 troops, plus 50,000 Qiang cavalry, and an army of 300,000. I will lead the army to conquer it myself, so that the three Jin Dynasties will know that our Qin country is still the overlord of the world." King Jihu of Qin's eyes widened, and he pressed his right hand on the
On the map, a terrifying aura emanated from his body, causing the guards to retreat repeatedly.
A total of 50,000 Qiang horses have been waiting outside the city for almost a month. Every day, people eat horse chews, which is a huge consumption.
Qin also paid half of the grain and grass borrowed by the Qiang cavalry to the Qiang people. Even if the Qiang cavalry were allowed to go back, the grain would not be returned.
Moreover, King Ji of Qin did not want the 50,000 Qiang cavalry to go back. Not only did he not want the 50,000 Qiang cavalry to go back, he also wanted to keep the 50,000 Qiang cavalry in Qin.
