Chapter 683: Give the wealth and wealth to Wu Anjun
"It cannot be calculated like this. Although the number of the Qin army is around 300,000, there are still 80,000 troops stationed in Zhonghe and Deng counties. The maximum number of people participating in this battle is 200,000. After this battle, the remaining Qin army will not exceed 10 Fifty thousand. Although about half of our army did not have time to participate in the battle, they are all beside the battlefield, so their strength has been improved to some extent." Wei Wuji explained.
"I am confused!" Zhao Kuo suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that the Qin army in Rangcheng was not all the Qin army.
In this way, Zhao Jun gained the greatest benefit.
If he fought hard and made a wedding dress for Qin, Zhao Kuo would be angry to death.
"The king fought for a day and treated the soldiers' wounds. He was still patrolling the military camp just now, and he never had time to rest. His body was too tired." Xunzi said, this is the first time in so many years that he has seen a monarch who loves soldiers so much. .
Xunzi could feel that Zhao Kuo treated the soldiers on an equal footing, and it was not the kind of love shown by a superior to a subordinate, nor did he treat the soldiers as consumables in order to inspire them to sacrifice their lives for him.
This phenomenon is extremely rare not only among monarchs, but also among the entire aristocracy. Xunzi asked himself, no matter how much he abandoned his sectarian views, he would still have some pride of being an aristocrat when facing the common people.
"Bao Yuan thanks King Zhao for saving our Korean army. If King Zhao sends you orders in the future, Bao Yuan will not dare to disobey." Bao Yuan said solemnly. South Korea has a small population and has been defeated repeatedly in the face of powerful enemies around it. Other countries have lost tens of thousands. Soldiers are harmless, but for South Korea, they are already a serious injury, so Bao Yuan values the lives of soldiers more than many generals.
"The same is true for Jia." Wangsun Jia didn't want to speak at first, but Bao Yuan was like this, so he had no choice but to express his position.
Jin Bi sat next to him calmly and calmly. The leader of the Wei army was Wei Wuji, and it was not his turn to express his position yet.
Wei Wuji also remained silent. He was not only the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, but also the prime minister of Zhao. There was no need to express his position.
"You two are serious. I have said that no matter which country the soldiers are, Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, as long as they fight with me, they are my soldiers. I will not abandon anyone. You two don't need to take it to heart." Zhao Kuo said. .
Bao Yuan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhao Kuo, who stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, let's start discussing the next battle plan. Is it to attack or to consume? How to attack and how to consume?"
"The last general feels that we should attack. This time the Qin army was defeated, the troops were lost, and morale was low. It was the best time to attack the Qin army. And the King of Qin and Fan Ju were both injured. Our army should pursue the victory, capture Rangcheng, and then break through Wuguan. , attack Guanzhong." Le Cheng said.
"The general thought otherwise. Although the Qin army was defeated, it still had more than 100,000 troops, and there was a famous general like Bai Qi. Even if our army's strength was several times that of the Qin army, we would still have to make an extremely heavy effort to capture Rangcheng. After such a heavy price, there will be no strength to attack Wuguan and Guanzhong in the future. And...we are a coalition." Pang Nuan glanced at Baoyuan and Wangsun Jia.
The advantages of the coalition forces are obvious, and they can strengthen their own strength and increase their momentum.
The disadvantages are also obvious.
We can share wealth and honor, but we cannot share adversity.
Everyone always considers their own interests.
Attacking Rangcheng requires a high price. Who will pay the price?
No one from the four armies of Zhao, Wei, Han, and Qi is willing to go out. Whose soldiers are not soldiers? Why should our soldiers go up and die while you are taking advantage of them?
Once the losses of each army exceed everyone's psychological expectations, some people will withdraw from the alliance.
As long as one country withdraws from the alliance, the only outcome for the alliance is to disband.
And there is no solution to this problem. The only way is to defeat the enemy before the problem is exposed.
But the coach of the Qin Army is Bai Qi. Who can guarantee that he can do it?
"The general thought that he could attack and consume at the same time, and sent a partial army to attack Rangcheng every day. At the same time, he spread rumors that Qin Wangji was seriously injured and dying, and the Qin army was bound to be in chaos. In order to appease the Qin army, Qin Wangji could only appear frequently in
In front of the Qin army, the injuries will be affected. If after a while, Qin Wangji no longer appears, it means that Qin Wangji is dead, and our army will take advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack. If Qin Wangji keeps appearing, our army will think of other methods." Le Yi.
said.
"Where are the others?" Zhao Kuo looked around at everyone.
"I do have some ideas," Han Fei said.
"Say it quickly," Zhao Kuo said.
"While spreading rumors in the Qin army, you can also spread rumors in Guanzhong. Let's say that King Ji of Qin died and Fan Ju was killed by Bai Qi. The generals in the army supported Bai Qi as king and planned to replace Qin." Han Fei said.
.
"Will the Crown Prince of Qin believe it?" Jin Bi looked doubtful.
"Whether the prince believes it or not, it depends on whether he has the heart to become the king of Qin. King Ji of Qin has been sitting in the position of King of Qin for more than fifty years since he ascended the throne. Prince Zhuo passed away before he could ascend the throne. I heard that today Qin
The Crown Prince Qin Zhu, like his brother, is not in very good health. It will be difficult for him to survive until the death of King Qin Ji and successfully ascend the throne. If I don’t believe it, Qin Zhu is willing to be the prince for the rest of his life."
"Even if Qin Zhu really wants to be the prince for the rest of his life, doesn't Qin Wangji have any doubts about his son and Bai Qi? Isn't he worried that Taizi Zhu and Bai Qi will take his place when he is critically ill? As long as Qin Wangji treats Taizi Zhu, he will also
Or Bai Qi, if anyone becomes suspicious, the Qin army will be in chaos." Han Fei said with a smile.
Suspiciousness is something that everyone has.
And the older you get, the more obvious it becomes.
Worried about the rebellion of the generals, the rebellion of the ministers, and even the rebellion of the sons.
"Perhaps we can send an envoy directly to contact Bai Qi and say that our country, Zhao, is willing to help him establish himself as king and replace him with the country of Qin." Li Si suddenly said coldly.
He was tricked by Qin Guo in Luoyang last year, but he has never forgotten it, and now he finally got the chance.
When everyone heard this, they immediately took a breath. Brother Han Fei and Brother Li Si were so cruel. Unless Qin Wangji had unreserved trust in Bai Qi, he would definitely feel a thorn in his heart.

Gongsun Long looked at Xunzi with envy. Looking at his two apprentices, they were almost surpassing his master. Looking at his own apprentices, none of them could take the lead.
"Who is willing to send the Qin army as an envoy?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"I am willing to go." Li Si said with his fists clasped.
"Li Qing must be careful. There are many ways to defeat the Qin army. If this doesn't work, we can use other methods, but Li Qing only has one." Zhao Kuo said solemnly.
"I have remembered it," Li Si said.
…
Bai Qi fled back to Rangcheng with the Qin army. He had no time to appease the soldiers, so he immediately came to the place where Qin Wangji was recovering from his injuries and asked to see Qin Wangji.
"Please, Mr. Wu An." After the guard announced, he walked up to Bai Qi and motioned for Bai Qi to hand over his weapons.
Bai Qi handed the weapons to the guards and entered the camp. Seeing that King Qin Ji's expression was fair, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What he fears most is that Qin Wangji dies or becomes seriously ill and falls into a coma. By then, as a general with a heavy army, whatever he does will be wrong.
"The last general, Bai Qi, pays homage to the king." Bai Qi said, cupping his fists.
"Mr. Wu An is here, sit down." Qin Wangji pointed to the bench next to him and said.
"The general is defeated." Bai Qi said in a deep voice.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Defeat is normal. I believe that Mr. Wu An will definitely win back next time. I have said before that all the responsibility for the defeat will be borne by me. Mr. Wu An can rest assured and defend Zhao Jun's next attack."
Qin Wangji's attitude was very gentle.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Qi was silent for a moment and then said, "General, I think that we can't just defend in the future, and we should use offense instead of defense."
"Reason?" Qin Wangji asked.
"Our Qin army suffered heavy losses in this battle. The three military spirit armies of the Iron Eagle Rui, the Black Armor Army, and the Fei Lian Army combined have only less than a thousand people left. The reserve army has also been almost wiped out. We want to defeat the three armies as soon as possible.
The army of military souls can only be replenished by training on the battlefield." Bai Qi said.
When Qin Wangji heard that the three military spirit legions combined had less than a thousand people left, his mouth twitched. Finally, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "Zhao's army is powerful. Lord Wu An can lead most of the soldiers to withdraw safely. It is already very good."
It’s not easy anymore. Tell me about the specific process of this battle.”
"No." Bai Qi cupped his fists and said the battle in detail.
By the time Bai Qi left, it was already getting late.
"General, Zhao Jun has sent an envoy." Seeing Bai Qi's return, the bodyguard stepped forward to report.
"Zhao Jun sent an envoy? Send it to the king." Bai Qi said displeased.
If the King of Qin was not here, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he would have no problem bringing the envoy to him. But now that the King of Qin is still there, he must be brought to the King of Qin first.
Only when the King of Qin expressed that it was inconvenient for him to see the envoy now and asked Bai Qi to do so on his behalf, could he receive the envoy.
"The envoy of Zhao Jun said that he only saw you." The guard said.
"Let him come over." Bai Qi walked towards the tent.
"promise."
Soon, Li Si was brought over.
"Li Si has met Mr. Wu An." Li Si said, cupping his fists.
"I heard from the personal guards that the envoy only wants to see me alone?" Bai Qi raised his head and looked Li Si up and down, a terrifying pressure emanating from his body, wanting to see Li Si thoroughly.
"Not bad." Li Si didn't seem to feel any pressure and said neither humble nor overbearing.
"Tell me, why do you want to meet me?" Bai Qi asked.
"General, please also shield the left and right." Li Si glanced at the guards on the left and right.
"The envoy can just say it directly. I, Bai Qi, have nothing to do with others." Bai Qi waved his hand.
"I, the State of Zhao, have a huge wealth that I want to give to the general." Li Si leaned over and said.
Bai Qi said nothing, and sat quietly watching Li Si's performance.
"King Ji of Qin is old and fatuous, and the crown prince of Qin is incompetent. I, the State of Zhao, are willing to help Lord Wu An become the king and replace him with the State of Qin. Nearly half of the country of Qin was conquered by Lord Wu An. Due to emotions and reasons, the leader of Qin State is
Wu Anjun should be in charge of all positions..." Li Si said quickly.
"That's enough!" Bai Qi's face suddenly changed, and he jumped up from his seat. Blood-red inner energy spurted out from his body, and a terrifying pressure came towards Li Si. Li Si quickly released his mental power to block Bai Qi's attack.
pressure.
"King Zhao, good means, good means! This time I recognize Bai Qi. Come and send the envoy out." Bai Qi waved his hand and said.
Several guards rushed up, but Li Si did not struggle, turned around and walked out of the camp, and said at the same time, "Everything I said is true. I hope Lord Wu An can consider it carefully, even if it is not for himself.
Thinking about the descendants of the Bai family..."
"Seal his mouth." Bai Qi said through gritted teeth. If the two armies hadn't fought and killed him, he would have even wanted to kill Li Si.
When he met Li Si, he thought he was sent by King Zhao to persuade him to surrender, so he didn't take it seriously. He just watched Li Si's performance like a clown.
No matter what, it was impossible for him to betray Qin and surrender to Zhao.
Who would have thought that the State of Zhao did not even try to persuade him to surrender, but directly advised him to proclaim himself king and take over the State of Qin instead.
Bai Qi knew very well that Qin Wangji was wary of him, and if this matter reached the ears of Qin Wangji, the consequences would be disastrous.
"No, we must go to see the king immediately." Bai Qi hurriedly walked outside and stopped halfway, "The king was already suspicious of me. If I go directly, wouldn't it be possible for me to be arrested? I'd better go to see Rang first.
Hou, let’s ask Marquis Rang for his opinion.”
Compared with King Qin, Bai Qi is more willing to believe in Wei Ran.
On the other side, Qin Wangji had just finished drinking the medicine under the service of the maid and was preparing to go to bed. Two beautiful women were leaning against Qin Wangji on the left and the right to help him warm the bed.
Women are not allowed in the army. Qin Wangji originally did not want to violate this rule, but he is old, his body does not have enough firepower, and he needs someone to warm his bed every night, so he cannot let a man sleep in the same bed with him.
King Ji of Qin is not the King of Wei, so both men and women are allowed.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wu An just met with the envoy from the State of Zhao." At this time, Qin Liu came in from the outside and reported with clasped fists.
Qin Wangji's face suddenly darkened. I am still in the army, and I am not dead yet. The envoy sent by King Zhao should not be sent to me?
What is your identity in vain? Do you dare to go beyond the ordinary people and receive the Zhao envoy without permission?
"Hahaha, I'm just meeting an envoy, what's the big deal." After a few breaths, Qin Wangji suddenly burst out laughing, as if he didn't care about the matter, "What did the envoy from Zhao say when he saw Lord Wu An? Could it be that he was persuading Lord Wu An to surrender to Zhao?"
Hahahaha, Mr. Wu An is a loyal minister of our Qin State, how could he go to Zhao State?"
"Envoy Zhao... Envoy Zhao told Lord Wu An that Zhao is willing to help Lord Wu An become king and replace...replace Qin." Qin Liu lowered his head and said cautiously.
"Bastard!" Qin Wangji suddenly sat up and let out a scream.
The wound collapsed.
"Your Majesty." The maid was frightened and panicked.
"These are Zhao Guo's conspiracy. Wu Anjun will definitely not agree to it. I believe Wu Anjun." Qin Wangji pushed the maid aside and said loudly.
"Wu'an Jun has expelled the Zhao envoy from the camp." Qin Liu said.
"Haha, I just said that Lord Wu An can't agree. Zhao Guo still wants to drive a wedge between me and Lord Wu An, which is ridiculous." Qin Wangji said with a smile, "By the way, where is Lord Wu An now?"
"Jun Wu An went to see Marquis Rang." Qin Liu said.
The smile on Qin Wangji's face suddenly stopped, his hands clenched into fists, his body trembled slightly, and the gauze he had just replaced was instantly stained red with blood.
