Daqin: Start to become stronger and live longer by picking up attributes from the battlefield

Chapter 117 Wang Jian's messenger! Zhao Feng's expectations!

"Advise?"

"Teacher, what do you advise Zhao Feng to do?"

"Advise him to give up the daughter of the Wang family? Give the daughter of the Wang family to me?"

"If that's the case, then it's my fault."

"Teacher, you've put me in a situation where I'm forcing someone else's marriage."

"Although I haven't met Zhao Feng, I can imagine what kind of person he is. He fought to the death and made countless military exploits, and he's still young."

"Don't even mention that a soldier would be angry at this threat. Even if I'm a scholar, if I'm not a member of the royal family, I would be furious at this threat." Fusu said angrily.

He was also very dissatisfied with Chunyu Yue's move.

This also made Chunyu Yue lower his head, not knowing what to say.

Perhaps from Fusu's point of view, Chunyu Yue's move was wrong.

But from Chunyu Yue's point of view, this was not wrong. Sacrificing the marriage of a mere deputy general to fulfill the prince's great cause was all right. If an ordinary person knew it was the eldest prince, he would have succumbed directly, but he met Zhao Feng.

"Sir."

"Now that things have come to this, Chunyu Taifu has done what he did, and it is irreversible."

"And Zhao Feng has become a force to be reckoned with, and it is impossible for us to ease the situation and win him over." Wang Wan sighed.

Originally, he wanted to suppress Zhao Feng completely, but he never thought that Zhao Feng could defeat Wei Wuji when Wei Wuji led his troops to attack. Wang Wan did not expect it, the court did not expect it, and even the whole world did not expect it.

"If I have a chance in the future, I will personally apologize to Zhao Feng." Fusu said.

"Sir, you must not do that."

"Although Zhao Feng is very popular now, he is just a minister after all. How can you apologize to him with your status?" Chunyu Yue said immediately.

Even Wang Wan nodded: "Sir, this is unnecessary. Since Zhao Feng guarded Weicheng, we have suppressed him a lot in the court. It is impossible to save him."

"Now that we have suppressed him, let's continue."

"I don't believe that he will always be smooth sailing." Wang Wan said in a deep voice.

Seeing Wang Wan say this, Fusu also looked helpless.

Although he is in the position of the eldest son, everything around him is handled by Wang Wan and others.

Perhaps this is why Ying Zheng is disappointed in him.

If you really want to become a crown prince.

The fundamental thing is to have the power of a king and control the ministers, rather than being controlled by the ministers.

Fusu, too womanly.

Zhao State, Handan!

Longtai Palace.

"What?"

"Wei Wuji was defeated?"

"That's impossible."

"The Qin army stationed in Yingchuan was insufficient, and there was internal strife everywhere. How could Wei Wuji lead an army of 200,000 to attack? How could he be defeated?"

"That's impossible."

Zhao Yan was angry and screamed in shock.

The expressions of the ministers in the entire Longtai Palace were almost all shocked.

"Wei Wuji, how could he be defeated?"

"The one who guarded Weicheng was just a deputy general of Qin. Wei Wuji was defeated by him?"

"What happened?"

"If Wei is defeated, my great Zhao will face Qin alone."

"That's not a good thing."

"What should I do?"

...

Many Zhao officials in the hall became worried.

"Your Majesty."

"Wei Wuji has been defeated, and Wei has withdrawn its troops."

"For now, we must transfer troops from Yan to help, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Zhao Yi immediately stood up and reported.

"No, absolutely not."

Zhao Yan immediately refused.

Now Pang Nuan's offensive in Yan State is fierce. He has successively captured thousands of miles of Yan State's territory and dozens of cities, which is almost 30% of Yan State's territory.

Once the troops are withdrawn.

These victories will be lost.

"The main forces of my Great Zhao are with General Pang Nuan."

"If we don't withdraw the troops, how can my Great Zhao fight against the powerful Qin?"

"Although there are still 200,000 border troops in Dai, they are also held back by Meng Wu of Qin. Unless General Pang Nuan is transferred back to help, it is impossible to stop the Qin army." Zhao Yi said earnestly.

Compared with Zhao Yan's desire to expand the territory, Zhao Yi wants to preserve the foundation of Zhao State.

Although it has not yet reached the point where the enemy is at the gates of the city, anyone with a discerning eye can see how bad the current situation of Zhao State is.

"Don't we have Lian Po?"

"As long as he can defend Quyang, the Qin army can't get through."

"When Yan is destroyed, the elite troops of our Great Zhao will return." Zhao Yan said coldly, and he had no intention of withdrawing troops from Yan.

The territory he conquered with great difficulty, how many soldiers died, how much food and money he spent, if he withdrew his troops like this, then he would be really happy in vain.

"But the king..." Zhao Yi looked worried.

Guo Kai immediately stood up: "Chunping Jun, the king has made up his mind, what else do you have to say?"

"Although the elite troops of our Great Zhao have been transferred to Yan to fight, if reinforcements are really needed, we can still mobilize hundreds of thousands of county soldiers to reinforce Lian Po."

After saying this,

Guo Kai immediately bowed to Zhao Yan, still smiling flatteringly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty."

"Although the elite troops of Yan State cannot be transferred back, we can mobilize the county soldiers stationed in various places of Zhao. Although the combat effectiveness of county soldiers is not as good as those of our elite troops, they are all young and strong after all. Our Zhao only needs to guard against Qin State, and county soldiers are enough."

Hearing this.

Zhao Yan looked at Guo Kai with great satisfaction. Among all the ministers in the court, only Guo Kai understood him.

"What the Prime Minister said is good." Zhao Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this."

"If the county soldiers are transferred away, then our Zhao cities will have no soldiers to guard them. Once General Lian Po really can't hold them, those cities will be useless and have no chance to stop the Qin army." Zhao Yi also wanted to persuade.

But Zhao Yan didn't intend to listen at all: "Shut up."

"Qin Jun, I have never taken him seriously."

"Today, the main enemy of our country, Zhao, is the State of Yan. Now, the State of Yan is being defeated by our officers and soldiers. Now, nearly half of the territory of the State of Yan has fallen into the control of our State of Zhao. Soon, the State of Yan will be destroyed. ." Zhao Yan shouted coldly.

Then he looked at Guo Kai.

"Prime Minister." Zhao Yan said.

"I'm here," Guo Kai replied immediately.

"I'll give you the order to mobilize troops. You can mobilize 100,000 county troops to reinforce Lian Po." Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.

"I accept the edict." Guo Kai nodded immediately, but after agreeing, Guo Kai looked a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, if one hundred thousand county soldiers are mobilized, the consumption of food, grass and baggage will be even greater. There is still a long way to go before the autumn harvest. For a long time, if we continue to provide food according to the previous supply, I am afraid that the food and grass in the national treasury and local government treasury will not be able to withstand the consumption. "

"Prime Minister, you will handle this matter."

"If it doesn't work, we should collect taxes in advance and increase taxes." Zhao Yan thought for a while and said immediately.

As soon as these words fell.

The faces of many Zhao ministers in the court changed.

Nowadays, the taxes of Zhao State are not low. If they continue to increase, Zhao State may cause a civil uprising.

But looking at Zhao Yan who looked like he had made up his mind, and looking at Zhao Yi who was scolded to shut up, all Zhao Chen shut up very honestly.

That's when.

"Report."

"Urgent report from Quyang."

An urgent reporting soldier from Zhao State rushed into the main hall of Longtai Palace in a panic.

"Qu Yang?" Zhao Yan frowned: "What's the urgent report?"

"Xiaquyang has been lost, and Quyang has now become an isolated city." The emergency soldier shouted hoarsely.

"What?"

"Xia Quyang fell?"

"Isn't Lian Po good at defense? What does he do for food?"

"It's all in vain that I have so much trust in him." Zhao Yan angrily said without explanation.

"Your Majesty."

"Old General Lian Po only has an army of 100,000, and he faces an attack with several times the strength of Qin."

"It's very rare to be able to defend for several months." Zhao Yi immediately spoke up to defend Lian Po.

"When Quyang breaks down, Quyang becomes an isolated city."

"Tell me, now that the border is lost, what should Zhao do?" Zhao Yan was a little anxious at this moment and said angrily.

"What's going on with old General Lian Po now?" Zhao Yi asked with concern.

In Zhao Yi's heart, Lian Po is the cornerstone of Zhao State.

If Lian Po dies, Zhao will really be in danger.

"Start the memorial, Your Majesty."

"The general asked me to bring back a letter."

"It's the last letter from the old general."

The emergency soldier looked sad, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and held it high.

Zhao Yan looked at it without much concern, but waved his hand very anxiously: "I don't want to read it anymore, you just read it out to me."

"this……"

"I am illiterate."

The emergency soldiers were a little frightened.

But Zhao Yi couldn't help it, and stepped forward directly, taking Lian Po's last letter from the hands of the emergency soldier.

When he opened it and took a look, Zhao Yan's expression changed instantly.

"Old General, isn't he going to withdraw his troops?"

"But we must defend Quyang City and fight the Qin army to the end."

"Exchange the remaining troops for more lives of the Qin army." Zhao Wei said with a trembling voice.

Hear this.

Zhao Yan's face looked better.

"Old General Gaoyi."

"There is an old general guarding Quyang City, so Zhao will definitely give me more time to deploy troops to guard it."

"Prime Minister."

"After the dispersion of the dynasty, you immediately pass on my edict and mobilize all the county soldiers to guard Jinyang."

"General Yan Ju, please go to Jinyang to guard the city in person." Zhao Yan said immediately.

A general immediately came out and responded: "I accept the imperial edict."

After hearing this, Zhao Yi couldn't bear it anymore.

"Your Majesty."

"It's come to this."

"Old General Lian Po even wrote a final memorial. Do you still want to be stubborn and mediocre and refuse to withdraw from the Yan Kingdom?"

"The old general sacrificed his own life to hold back the Qin army in order to give Zhao the time to prepare. Only by withdrawing the army that conquered the Yan State can Zhao be able to survive. With hundreds of thousands of ordinary commanders, How can soldiers stop the elite soldiers of the Qin State?" Zhao Yan held the last words written by Lian Po heavily and said to Zhao Yan with an anger.

Listening to Zhao Yan's questioning tone, Zhao Yan frowned and was filled with anger.

"Zhao Yi, you are so presumptuous."

"How dare you be so rude to Your Majesty An?"

"The king is the king of Zhao, and everything belongs to the king."

"The king has made up his mind, how can I allow you to talk nonsense?" Guo Kai immediately stood up and angrily shouted, looking like he was loyal to Zhao Yan.

"The king is indeed the king of Zhao, but if Zhao really dies, will he still be the king?"

"Your Majesty, Zhao Yi, please quickly mobilize troops from the State of Yan to come back for reinforcements. You must never give up the last chance of survival that Old General Lian Po has fought for for our great Zhao!"

Zhao Yi's voice was low, and it contained more of a prayer for Zhao's future.

Lian Po understood what Zhao was facing now, and he also understood through Lian Po's last letter that this was the last chance.

"Shut up."

"The road to destroy Yan must not stop."

"Lian Po can still fight. We still have hundreds of thousands of county soldiers to defend us. No matter how strong the Qin army is, it is impossible to break through the city guarded by 200,000 people in a year and a half."

"It is said that I will be sent to prison."

"Order General Pang Nuan to speed up the attack so that he does not need to worry about what is happening in our country."

"alright."

"This is the end of today's court meeting, let's disperse." Zhao Yan shouted coldly.

Then he threw up his sleeves and left the Longtai Palace.

Looking at Zhao Yan's leaving figure, Zhao Yan could no longer bear it. He stood up and said loudly: "Zhao Yan, you will regret it."

"Da Zhao will die because of you."

"On the day when the country is overthrown, you will not be able to see your father again."

But Zhao Yan pretended not to hear at all.

Quyang City!

The Qin army attacked fiercely.

Lian Po, on the other hand, sat in the center of the city in military uniform and commanded.

"General."

"The Qin army attacked fiercely."

"There are less than 50,000 troops in Quyang City. Judging from the Qin army's offensive, even if we fight to the last soldier, we can only hold on for half a month at most." The deputy general said to Lian Po.

"Xia Quyang has been broken and the army has collapsed."

"This half month will be Lian Po's last chance to fight for Zhao."

"If the king understands my intention, he can issue an edict to withdraw his troops from Yan."

"As long as these 300,000 troops return, I, Zhao, will protect the country from destruction." Lian Po smiled slightly.

"But what if the king doesn't issue an edict to withdraw the troops?" the deputy general asked worriedly.

"Then I, Da Zhao..."

A trace of sadness appeared on old Lian Po's face, he raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's completely dangerous."

"General."

"The general feels that there is no need to defend Quyang, and he can retreat while fighting. This can also delay the Qin army." The deputy general suggested.

Lian Po smiled faintly and was not in a hurry: "If the king issues an edict to withdraw the troops, I am willing to defend Quyang with my life for as long as I can. If the king is unwilling to withdraw, then I will adopt your strategy and withdraw as soon as possible." "

"but."

"I think the king will withdraw his troops."

"The country is in crisis, I believe the king will think it through."

for this.

Lian Po is quite confident.

other side.

Within the territory of Wei State.

In a small city.

Zhao Feng stood on the tower, looking at the corpses on the ground, very calmly.

"General."

"This city has been completely captured. The 5,000 Wei troops stationed there were defeated by our army and more than 2,000 were captured." Tu Sui came to Zhao Baobao and reported.

"Okay." Zhao Feng nodded, with a bright look in his eyes: "This is the tenth, continue to attack."

"According to the current attack speed of our army, we can open a road to Zhao State within two months." Tu Sui said with a smile.

"This is called taking advantage of his illness to kill him."

"Wei Wuji has been defeated by our army. The city they are mainly defending at the moment is still the only way to his capital. As for the road leading to Zhao State, they don't have many troops to defend it, just some county soldiers. "Zhao Feng smiled faintly.

"General."

"How many soldiers are left to guard this city?" Tu Sui asked.

"It's still the same old rules."

"Leave more troops to guard the border city to prevent Wei from taking advantage of it."

"After the next one is conquered, we can dispatch the soldiers to leave." Zhao Feng said.

This is the defensive strategy Zhao Feng is adopting now.

About a thousand troops were left to guard the city in the middle, while the cities adjacent to the Wei army were guarded with more troops. After the city continued to be conquered, they were transferred again until the road to Zhao was opened.

"The general will understand." Tu Sui respectfully accepted the order.

Then quickly retreated.

"My lord."

"The results of Wei's attack this time are really unexpected." Zhang Ming came over at this time and said with emotion.

"Have the results been calculated?" Zhao Feng turned around and took a look.

"This is the calculated casualty battle report." Zhang Ming respectfully took out a military report.

"Just read it directly." Zhao Feng said.

“Since the defense of Weicheng until now, our army has suffered a total of more than 43,000 casualties, of which more than 28,000 have been killed and more than 15,000 have been injured. All the lightly injured have returned to battle, and the seriously injured are still recovering in the wounded barracks. "Zhang Ming said slowly.

"Compared to the casualties suffered by the Wei army, our army really won a great victory this time." Zhao Feng smiled slightly.

"Judging from the statistics of Wei Jun's corpses in front of the city."

"There are more than 80,000 tools, and that's just in Weicheng."

"Wei State really suffered heavy losses in this battle."

"And it's not just the casualties. The food and supplies in Shangwei City were used by the Wei State's 200,000 troops for half a year. Now they are all obtained by our army." Zhang Ming said with a smile.

"Who is assigned to guard these provisions?"

"Have you done everything I told you before?" Zhao Feng said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Lord."

"My subordinates have all given their instructions."

"Secretly transporting 10,000 people with food and grass for half a year to the training ground."

"It's more than that."

"The military supplies stored by the Wei army in Shangwei City were also moved away by 20% by their subordinates." Zhang Ming said in a low voice.

Hear the words.

Zhao Feng smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad."

With such a great opportunity, and it was still during war, how could Zhao Feng not use his authority to benefit himself.

So much free grain and grass can be used to make wine, and the money can also be turned into funds for one's own power.

Anyway, these things were entrusted to his confidants, and no one would know about it.

And if Zhao Feng hadn't taken risks, not to mention capturing Shangwei City, even Wei Wuji couldn't break it, so Zhao Feng felt at ease with these things.

"Report."

"A general order came from the general's camp."

At this time.

A personal guard ran up quickly, followed by the personal guards of Wang Jian.

"General Zhao."

Seeing Zhao Feng, the personal guard bowed with awe.

"What's the matter, general?" Zhao Feng asked immediately.

"Reply to General Zhao."

"The general knows that you have defeated the Wei army, and today I asked my subordinates to come and praise General Zhao."

"This battle, the general said it was beautiful." The personal guard said with a smile.

"It seems that I really fought well in this battle to be praised by the general." Zhao Feng said with a smile.

"General Zhao is being modest."

"The general said that this battle will be known all over the world one day, and everyone will know that General Zhao defeated Wei Wuji."

"This battle can be described as a victory of the few over the many, and the weak over the strong." The guard said with a smile, and it can be seen that his eyes are full of admiration for Zhao Feng from the bottom of his heart.

"In addition to the praise, does the general have any other instructions?" Zhao Feng asked.

Although this kind of flattery sounds pleasant, Zhao Feng still wants to go to the battle as soon as possible, and now his all attributes are about to break through.

"This is a private letter from the general to the general."

"He said that the general will be very happy after reading it." The guard took out a piece of cloth from his arms and handed it to Zhao Feng respectfully.

"Private letter?" Zhao Feng was stunned, and then immediately took it and took a look.

Suddenly.

Zhao Feng's face really showed a smile.

"Yan'er is about to give birth."

"From the time of sending the letter, it means that it will be within this half month." Zhao Feng was happy in his heart, but then he felt helpless: "I am about to become a father, but now Yan'er is about to give birth, and I can't even go."

"And she hasn't been given a name yet."

Thinking of this.

Zhao Feng was very helpless.

But as a general, now experiencing war, this is naturally beyond his control.

Just like when Zhao Feng enlisted in the army, he was unable to help himself.

"General, do you have anything to say or any letters to take back?"

"The general also said."

"After reading the letter, the general will have something to say." The guard smiled respectfully again.

"There is indeed a letter, please take it back, but it is not for the general, but for the general to pass it back to Xianyang." Zhao Feng said immediately.

"Please rest assured, general, I will definitely handle this matter." The guard replied immediately.

Then.

Zhao Feng raised his hand.

Zhang Ming beside him immediately took out a piece of cloth that had not been written on, and a pen.

As Zhao Feng's personal guard, these were naturally what he carried with him.

After a while.

Zhao Feng finished writing and took out the letter tube to put it in.

"Thank you, brother, for delivering the letter." Zhao Feng handed it to the personal guard.

"General Zhao, you are too kind. This is my duty." The personal guard immediately replied.

"By the way."

"Zhang Ming."

"Let this brother take the battle situation here and our army's gains back to report to the general." Zhao Feng said to Zhang Ming.

"Yes."

Zhang Ming immediately took out the military report that had been prepared long ago and handed it to the personal guard.

"I understand."

"Also, the general asked me to tell you something."

"Now the king's envoy has set off in Xianyang, and he should come to the general to reward him in the next few days." The personal guard smiled.

Hearing this,

Zhao Feng showed a look of expectation on his face: "This time, the King of Qin should directly promote me to the rank of the chief general, but I don't know if my title has been upgraded."

The King of Qin had promised it originally.

As long as Weicheng is defended and the Wei army is prevented from entering Yingchuan County, it will be a great achievement, and Zhao Feng's position can be promoted to the chief general.

From the deputy general to the chief general.

It seems to be only one level difference, but it is a world of difference.

For this level, many people don't have the opportunity. Becoming a chief general is a qualitative leap, and it can be said that he is well-deserved to hold military power.

Wait for the guards to leave.

Zhang Ming immediately clasped his fists and congratulated: "My lord, when the king's envoy comes, the lord will be promoted to the chief general, the youngest chief general of the Qin Dynasty, who can be more popular than the lord."

Said this.

Zhang Ming's face was also full of pride.

The same is true for the guards around him.

The youngest chief general of the Qin Dynasty, the 17-year-old chief general.

It is their honor to be able to serve Zhao Feng.

"Hehe." Zhao Feng smiled faintly.

After Wang Jian's guards left.

Zhao Feng did not waste any more time.

"Pass on my order."

"Continue the attack and open the road to Zhao as quickly as possible."

"Our army must participate in the battle to destroy Zhao." Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Zhang Ming replied immediately.

Wei State, Daliang!

In the court hall.

Wei Wuji, in a military uniform, knelt in the hall, with a low and dejected look on his old face.

"Your Majesty."

"This old minister is unable to send troops and has failed to command troops, causing our Wei to lose hundreds of thousands of troops and greatly damage the national strength. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Wei Wuji knelt and bowed in a low voice.

Although the King of Wei, who was sitting on the throne, was also angry, but seeing Wei Wuji like this, his anger turned into helplessness.

The Wei State now has no strong generals to lead the army. If there is a choice, the King of Wei may really punish him, but he has no one to choose. Without Wei Wuji, when the Qin State attacks in the future, his Wei State will not even have a truly capable general to lead the army.

Thinking of this.

The King of Wei slowly stood up from the throne.

He walked quickly to Wei Wuji's side and gently helped Wei Wuji up with both hands: "Victory and defeat are common in the military, uncle, there is no need to do this."

"This time, in the end."

"Uncle lost to the time, and even more to his generals. But be cautious. If everyone follows your command, how can my great Wei have such a defeat?"

Wei Wangjia said comfortingly.

Compared with the King of Zhao.

This Wei Wangjia is smarter, knows how to win people over, and knows how to rely on.

"Your Majesty."

"I feel bad for you."

"Two hundred thousand troops, but less than seventy thousand returned."

"Your Majesty raised two hundred thousand troops, but more than half of them were seized by Qin."

"Your Majesty is guilty."

Wei Wuji said with tears in his eyes.

"Uncle, don't think like that."

"Now the matter is done, and there is no way to change it."

"Uncle, what you need to think about is how our Great Wei should face Qin."

"Our Great Wei is sending troops to Qin this time, and Qin will surely attack our Great Wei with a pretext one day."

"This... we must be on guard."

Wei Wangjia said with a serious face, and his eyes were full of worry.

"To preserve our Great Wei, only Zhao will not perish."

"As long as Zhao does not perish, Qin will not dare to attack our Great Wei." Wei Wuji said very seriously.

"Uncle."

"I just received the news."

"The Qin army has broken through the defense line that Lian Po had built by connecting two cities, but the King of Zhao still has not ordered the withdrawal of troops from Yan."

"If this continues, Zhao will be in danger!" King Wei said with a worried look.

"The King of Zhao did not withdraw his troops from Yan?" Wei Wuji was also shocked.

It has come to this point, but he still hasn't withdrawn his troops?

"The King of Zhao is too persistent." King Wei shook his head helplessly.

"Please send a letter of divorce to the King of Zhao immediately, asking him to withdraw his troops from Yan as soon as possible, otherwise Zhao will be in danger." Wei Wuji said with a serious face.

The King of Wei was about to nod.

"Report."

"Urgent report from the border."

"The Qin army has started from Shangwei City and has broken through nearly ten cities of our Great Wei."

"It is still continuing the attack."

"Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

A messenger rushed into the hall and reported.
