I Broke Through Again

   Chapter 147

  The starlight is lonely, and the lights in Xianyang Palace are flickering.

   King Zhuangxiang yawned and returned to Zhangtai Palace, looking sluggish.

   He was tired every day after his soul was injured, and he insisted on listening to Zhao Huaizhong and his ministers discussing the next strategy for chasing and dealing with the Five Kingdoms.

   "Why did you come back? You went to Zheng'er. What have you been talking about? Tell me about it." Zhao Ji, dressed in a black dress, came up to ask.

   "Wait... I'll talk to you tomorrow."

   King Zhuangxiang was next to the bed and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

  A maid wanted to come up to help him take off his robe, but Zhao Ji waved to stop him, and personally helped King Zhuangxiang take off his robe and cover it with a quilt.

   Then he sat on the side with a resentful expression, like an unsatisfied middle-aged woman.

   She stared at King Zhuangxiang. These days, the five kingdoms have been attacking Qin, and King Zhuangxiang has been sleeping very restlessly.

   When the Qin people defeated the five-nation army, and the news of the victory came back, King Zhuangxiang was overjoyed, as if he had lifted a tens of thousands of pounds.

   At this moment, after he fell asleep, his expression was peaceful, his face was as white as jade, with a high nose and thin lips. Even in his sleep, the corners of his mouth were still slightly raised, and his face was filled with joy.

   Zhao Ji looked at King Zhuangxiang, the grudge on his face slowly melted away, revealing a warm color.

   She remembered that when King Zhuangxiang was a hostage in Zhao State, she was just a dancer who was presented to Queen Zhuangxiang by Lu Buwei, and the two supported each other in Zhao State.

   There was once a powerful person in the state of Zhao who wanted to get his hands on Zhao Ji. King Zhuangxiang was in a terrible situation at the time, but he categorically refused and stood in front of Zhao Ji.

   Later, the two returned to Qin, and King Zhuangxiang became the King of Qin, but he never forgot his deep affection, and made her a dance girl become the queen of Da Qin.

   It was just that Zhao Huaizhong suffered and stayed in Zhao State as a pledge.

   Until later, Zhao Huaizhong also returned to Qin.

   Thinking of his son's radiance after returning to Qin, and now becoming the master of Qin... Zhao Ji has a bright smile on his face again.

   She has been a dancer and a queen for half of her life. She has been treated by King Zhuangxiang, and now she is the Queen Mother of Daqin. She has no regrets.

   "Your Majesty, whether you can recover or not in the future, Zhao Ji will always be by your side."

   She looked at King Zhuangxiang, her face getting softer and gentler.

   At this moment, King Zhuangxiang suddenly whispered: "Beat him, attack Wei!"

   Zhao Ji was startled, and then smiled, guessing that King Zhuangxiang just went to see Zhao Huaizhong, and he didn't know what to talk about. At this time, he still couldn't forget it in his sleep.

   Zhao Ji got up and went to the side hall next door to see her daughter Zhao Ying.

   The little princess of Daqin slept very comfortably in a small bed in the side hall.

  There are six waitresses on duty in the hall to take care of them, and the atmosphere is quiet.

  ——

   In June, the Five Kingdoms failed to attack Qin, and the situation took a sharp turn.

   The five kingdoms fled, and the Qin army was chasing after him.

  Because it had gone too deep into the Qin realm before, it took a long time for the five-nation coalition to withdraw, and it was pursued by the Qin army all the way, and there was no small loss.

  Wang Jian specially bites the Zhao people and keeps on following them closely. This is Zhao Huaizhong's order.

   Zhao Jun is very elite. In the future, it will be a strong enemy for Qin to unify the six kingdoms. Seizing the opportunity, he will naturally bite off a piece of Zhao Ren's flesh, causing him to break his bones and hurt his bones.

  The Qin army led by Wang Jian chased them all the way to Zhaojing. Later, Li Mu led the army to come to support Pang Nuan, and Wang Jian stopped the battle.

   At this time, more than half of the 80,000 Zhao troops who entered the Zhao army had lost more than half, and the remaining 30,000 people returned to Zhao.

   And these more than 30,000 people were all injured, and a few were seriously injured.

On the other side of   , Wei and Chu were pursued along the way by Meng Ao and Meng Wu and their sons, as well as Nei Shi Teng, Yang Rui and other generals.

  Menghao personally led an army to chase Wei, and Lord Longyang was eager to return to Daliang to relieve the danger of King Wei. Later, he had no choice but to cut off his tail.

   One-third of the soldiers he left behind were captured by the Qin army and sent to the Zhengguo Canal to serve as coolies.

   Those who staunchly resisted were executed and beheaded.

   In this battle, the Wei people are also hurting their vitality. More importantly, the Wei people will face Qi people when they return.

   And Mengao then attacked Wei again, forming a flanking attack with the Qi people. Wei was attacked by the enemy on both sides, and the situation was in dire straits.

   The rest of the allied army of the Chu Kingdom was in a similar situation. They were pursued by Nei Shi Teng and Yang Ruihe together, and they killed them all the way to the Chu border.

   Only Yan and Han suffered little loss.

   Chasing them were the young generals who were released to train, Wang Ben and brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi.

   These later famous generals of the Great Qin were still a little immature at this time, and they led their troops to pursue each other. Yan and Han joined forces, and they hurried all the way to withdraw from the Qin realm. The damage was relatively minor.

   Yan Guo is actually a double agent in this merger.

  Prince Dan secretly hooked up with Da Qin, but it was not fake to join forces with the Five Kingdoms.

  He wants to see which side wins and whichever side has a chance to take advantage of, so he falls to which side.

  If the Qin people are really defeated, Prince Dan will lead the army to attack and bite Da Qin, but if the coalition forces are unfavorable, Prince Dan will prepare to overthrow Qin secretly, such as pulling the hind legs, withdrawing the army first, and showing his attitude and so on.

   So when he saw the battle of the joint and vertical, the coalition army was about to collapse, and he immediately evacuated with the Han people first, without any intention of fighting with the Qin army.

  Things are not over yet.

  After each of the five countries returned, they continued to change.

   First of all, the five kingdoms later found out that the Qi people stabbed Wei in the back, resulting in the defeat of the coalition army, and they were all furious. Subsequently, at the initiative of Prince Dan, the forces of the five kingdoms were gathered together to attack Qi.

   This has also happened in the inherent history.

  The Five Kingdoms attacked Qin and failed, and the reason why they came back was because the Qi people did not participate. In this world, the backstabbing of Wei was added, which accelerated the defeat of the coalition forces.

   So the five kingdoms vented their losses on the Qi people.

   Of course, there are traces of Zhao Huaizhong's secret manipulation. Among the letters he sent out, one was for Prince Dan.

  The state of Yan has always been suppressed by Zhao and Qi, turning the muzzle against the Qi people, which is of great benefit to Yan.

   Just the same people attacked Wei, which led to the failure of the merger and vertical, which provided the best reason for Prince Dan.

   Zhao Huaizhong's letter was a vague reminder to Prince Dan that he could take the opportunity to attack them all.

   Just in time, the Wei people were attacked by Qi and it was not over yet. Prince Dan's proposal was sent, and Wei Wu responded ecstatically. The other countries also joined in because of the failure of the merger and vertical, so they joined forces to fight Qi.

  The Qi people were forced to retreat from Wei to deal with the attack of the Five Kingdoms.

   Zhao Huaizhong's repeated operations are good for Da Qin, because the Wei people want to free up their hands to avenge the attack by the Qi people, they must first appease Da Qin.

   Lest Qin and Qi cooperate, Wei Guo will be defeated by the enemy from both sides.

   So before attacking Qi, the King of Wei was forced to offer the city to make peace with Qin, and proposed to cede Chaoge, Jidi and other four cities, to calm Qin's anger, and to truce with the Qin people.

   At this time, Zhao Huaizhong gave orders to Meng Ao to stop attacking Wei.

   From June to mid-July, during the ten-month period, the seven kingdoms were in chaos and attacked each other.

   Afterwards, Qin State pulled out instead and became a third party, watching all the countries fight.

   The so-called vertical and horizontal, turning the hands into the clouds and covering the hands and rain, is probably the case.

  At this time, after the Qin people got the city donated by the Wei people, the front of the frontier of the country went deeper and deeper into the Wei realm. Although the war stopped, they always maintained a great deterrent force against Wei, echoing Qi Yao, and making the Wei people always feel fearful.

  It is said that in early July, there was a sound of sorrow in the palace of the king of Wei, and it seemed that the king of Wei was crying.

  Wei Wu was already deeply regretful at this time.

   regretted that he should not have joined forces to attack Qin, causing Wei to retreat again and again, causing heavy losses.

   To mid-July, Xianyang is extremely hot.

  In the Qin Palace, Shaofu and Zhisu Nei Shi, two financial officials of the Qin Dynasty, came to Zhao Huaizhong together.

  The expressions of the two old men were exactly the same, they were both frowning and their facial features were almost wrinkled together.

After    bowed to Zhao Huaizhong, the internal history of Zhisu first said:

   "Your Majesty, there must be no more wars. There is no balance in the hands of the two of us. It is really empty."

   Shaofu nodded like a hen poking rice, and said in agreement: "If we continue to fight, my ministers of the Qin Dynasty will go to the streets to beg for a day in the second half of the year.

   In the Grand Palace, one must also cut down on food and clothing, and it is difficult to eat a full meal. "

   "Is it so miserable?" Zhao Huaizhong laughed.

The two old ministers changed their approach after crying and said sternly: "Your Majesty continues to wage wars with other countries despite years of construction of water conservancy projects. It is a sign of chaos in the country.

  If the people cannot eat enough, there will be a great disaster. "

   These two old ministers are from the Great Qin clan. Considering the relationship between them, they are still Zhao Huaizhong's uncles, so they are quite reliant on the old and sell the old, and they dare to say anything.

   The two played hard and soft, thinking that Zhao Huaizhong would change his mind.

   Unexpectedly, after the two of them finished speaking, Zhao Huaizhong said calmly: "The five countries have joined forces and are defeated. At this time, attacking each other is a rare opportunity, and some battles must be fought.

   Even if the water conservancy repairs are suspended and food and clothing are cut down, I will go to the streets with Shaofu and Neishi to beg, but I still have to fight. "

   The mentality of the two old ministers exploded instantly, looked at each other and complained secretly.

  This king doesn't have enough oil and salt, and he is completely different from his father, King Zhuangxiang, so how can he fix it?

   Zhao Huaizhong glanced at the two of them and took a deep breath: "But Neishi and Shaofu don't really need to worry, the battle will continue, but we don't need to take out the money ourselves."

   The two old ministers were taken aback for a moment, and said in unison, "What do you mean by this, Your Majesty?"
