Chapter 952: Qin Changan Jun Loves Peace? So Do I! How Can Political Schemes Defeat Fist Power? The World Must Stop Fighting!
January 24, the 16th year of the Qin Dynasty.
Lingzhi blocked.
Listening to Li Ke's conditions, King Yan nodded repeatedly and said: "Grain and grass? Yes! Cloth? Yes! Horses? Yes!"
"Can Gaoyi ginseng be worth gold? Now that my country, Yan, has retreated to Zhiqiang, and is unable to break through generations to get back the old land, I have the heart to take Gaoyi's land for my own use. If I get Gaoyi ginseng, it can be worth gold." , it is really a great joy for me, Dayan!”
"Other than that, Qin Jing has nothing else to ask for?!"
King Yan held Li Ke's hands and said with admiration in his eyes: "I thought that it would be impossible for Qin to send troops to help Yan, and I didn't even dare to try."
"It was Aiqing who thought there was a chance to persuade Qin and was willing to take the risk and go as an envoy to Qin."
"I have never thought that not only did Ai Qing achieve the feat, but she also got Qin to send troops at such a price!"
"It is said that Aiqing and Lord Qin Changan argued fiercely all day and night. It turned out that Lord Qin Changan claimed that he was right and was more willing to let go of Qin Yan's hatred."
"My dear, this is my humerus!"
Seeing that King Yan's happy face was about to turn into a chrysanthemum with laughter, Li Ke's heart became even more grateful.
On this good opportunity, Lord Chang'an only treated the Yan Kingdom lightly, and gave all the credit to his own body!
Lord Chang'an, you are so righteous!
Li Ke expressed his gratitude and said: "It's all thanks to the king's trust that I can achieve this feat, and I can leave my name in history!"
"My lord, please thank your Majesty!"
Seeing the unmistakable gratitude on Li Ke's face, King Yan Xi felt more and more appreciative.
What king doesn’t like ministers who are capable, loyal, obedient and not greedy for merit?
King Yanxi held Li Ke's hand harder and harder, and said sincerely: "I agree to Qin's conditions!"
"Please love me to send you to Xianyang again and tell the King of Qin."
"Qin Changan Jun loves peace deeply, and so do I!"
——
January 27, the 16th year of King Qin’s reign.
Hong Shangsai.
"Second and third sons! Think of the family members, old and young, who died in the belly of the earth dragon! Charge and kill! Revenge!"
"Go around to the southeast and break the formation!"
"Wang Yu is pressing forward, kill!!!"
The deafening shouts of killing lingered around Hongshang Fortress and lasted for a long time.
More than 60,000 Dai warriors fought bravely, driven by hatred and anger, and under the personal command of Dai Wangjia.
However, Hongshang Fortress still clung to the mountains, proudly looking down at the Dai army at his feet.
Not only did the Dai army fail to make any progress, they actually noticed traces of reinforcements from various Qin armies from a distance!
Mao Sui rode his horse back to Dai Wang Jia's side, and said in a gasping voice: "Report to your Majesty!"
"The scouts who stayed behind found the flags of General Qin's generals a hundred miles north. His troops numbered about 70,000!"
"Qin General Duanhe's 100,000 Qin troops have reached seventy miles northeast."
"The 400,000 Qin troops led by Vice General Ben of Qin have reached more than fifty miles to the southeast."
"Your Majesty! The situation is extremely critical for our army!"
Although it had long been expected that the Dai army would be besieged by the main force of the Qin army.
But Mao Sui really didn't expect that Ying Chengyu would send 470,000 troops to surround the Dai army from all directions.
Including the defenders of Hongshang Fortress, Hengshan County soldiers and the city guards who rushed to help from surrounding cities, Qin State actually sent 500,000 troops to besiege them with only 60,000 soldiers and horses!
Dai Wangjia was also very nervous, but he still asked first: "Is Mr. Wu An's order broken?"
Mao Sui shook his head and said: "According to what Wu'an Jun reported in the previous military report, Wu An Jun has not yet conquered Lingzhi Fortress, and Lingzhi Fortress will not be able to be breached in a short period of time!"
Dai Wangjia asked again: "Have you ever found out the movements of Lord Qin Chang'an?"
Mao Sui still shook his head: "So far, our army has not detected Qin Changan's movements!"
Dai Wangjia could not help but fall into deep hesitation and struggle.
Finally, Dai Wang Jiaxin suddenly said: "Hold on for three more days!"
Mao Sui warned him bitterly: "Your Majesty! We really can't wait any longer!"
"Nearly half a million Qin troops are coming from all directions, and most of the Qin troops are elite veterans who have been fighting for a long time."
"If the Qin army really completes the siege of our army, our army will definitely be defeated!"
How could a mere 60,000 Dai troops, 20,000 of whom were child soldiers between the ages of 12 and 14, resist the nearly 500,000 Qin troops?
Hit him on the head?
Dai Wangjia said in a deep voice: "I know that our army is incapable of defeating the Qin army."
"I have no intention of fighting Qin to the death!"
"Of course! I need to buy more time for Lord Wu An, help Lord Wu An break the Lingzhi Fortress, and seize the place of reproduction for my generation!"
"Don't worry, dear, I have my own concerns."
"After three days, we will break camp and leave without any delay!"
Mao Sui's voice became more sincere and sincere: "Your Majesty!"
"There are many soldiers under the command of Qin's deputy general Ben who have been with Qin Chang'an Lord for a long time, and they are quite good at running attacks."
"Don't be careless just because Qin Vice General Ben's front army is still more than fifty miles away from our army."
"Qin Vice General Ben Ding was recovering the strength of his soldiers along the way, and at the same time waiting for the movements of the rest of the Qin army in order to prepare for the war at any time. Therefore, he did not order the entire army to move quickly, otherwise Qin Vice General Ben Ding would have arrived at Hongshang Fortress!"
"If Qin's deputy general Ben discovers that our army only has 60,000 soldiers and horses, and then sends out elite troops to rush for a blitz, he can surprise our army in at most two days."
"Your Majesty, please do not forget why Qi died!"
Dai Wang Jiakuan said in a loud voice: "My beloved, you can rest assured. Qi Xin is dead. How can I forget why Qi died?"
"The more danger I bear, the more time I can buy for Lord Wu An."
"For the country, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages!"
"I have made up my mind, my dear minister, there is no need to persuade me!"
How could Dai Wangjia despise the Qin army?
What Dai Wangjia wanted was the effect that the Qin army could just bite the tail of the Dai army!
In this way, Dai Wangjia could borrow the sword of the Qin army to eliminate those Dai army veterans who only knew Li Mu but not Dai Wangjia!
Of course, this was not because Dai Wangjia doubted Li Mu's loyalty.
It was just because Li Mu's prestige and power were too heavy, and Li Mu's old subordinates and old ministers were too many. This time, the earth dragon turned over and swallowed many old Zhao ministers who were loyal to Dai Wangjia. Li Mu's great victory over the Yan army led to Li Mu's great merit in this battle, so that Dai Wangjia's voice became smaller. In order to protect himself, Dai Wangjia had to make some checks and balances.
Mao Sui didn't know Dai Wangjia's thoughts, and couldn't understand the deep meaning of Dai Wangjia's move, and still advised him earnestly.
But just as Mao Sui was trying to persuade him, a group of messengers came over the mountains and shouted, "Urgent report of the military situation of Wu'an Jun!!!"
Dai Wangjia, Mao Sui, Lu Gao and other Dai monarchs and ministers all turned their heads to look in the direction of the messengers, and Dai Wangjia immediately ordered, "Send!"
The messengers drove straight to Dai Wangjia's side, and the captain of the group bowed weakly and said, "Please forgive me for my legs being eroded and unable to dismount to greet you."
"Here is the military report of Wu'an Jun, please read it!"
Dai Wangjia was extremely anxious and could not wait for the eunuch to act. He personally went forward to take the military report from the messenger, and took it out after checking the seal.
With a shake of his hands, he opened the bamboo slips, and the vigorous and powerful words hit Dai Wangjia's eyes.
Dai Wangjia's pupils suddenly shrank, and he cried out in a low voice: "Qin Chang'an Jun's troops have actually reached Jicheng!"
Mao Sui, Lu Gao and other ministers were also all stunned, and said in disbelief: "How could Qin Chang'an Jun's troops be so fast!"
"Qin Chang'an Jun's troops, Qin General Duanhe's troops, and Qin Deputy General Ben's troops are all tired soldiers who have been fighting for a long time and can no longer move quickly. How could Qin Chang'an Jun arrive in Jicheng now?!"
"Unless... Qin Chang'an Jun never rushed to Hongshang Pass from the beginning, but went straight to Jicheng!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence at the scene.
If Ying Chengjiao really rushed to Jicheng as soon as he received the military report, then everything they did was equivalent to playing the lute to a cow, which was meaningless!
After quickly reading the military report, Dai Wangjia secretly clenched the bamboo slips, and his voice was particularly solemn: "My dear ministers, there is no need to delve into when Qin Chang'an Jun went to Jicheng."
"Wu'an Jun said that Qin Chang'an Jun's vanguard has arrived outside Jicheng, and ordered our army's captain Xian to tell Wu'an Jun."
"Qin Chang'an Jun couldn't bear to see the lives of the people, so he raised troops to stop the war."
"Before February 1st, if our army does not stop fighting, Qin Chang'an Jun will lead the Qin army to attack our Yuyang County."
"Qin General Wu, Qin General Ben, Qin General Duanhe will join forces to attack my troops."
"The Yan army will also go west to block the pass to cooperate with the Qin army Attack Wu'an Jun's troops from both sides."
"For the specific truce matters, I will send envoys to Xianyang City before February 10 to discuss with Qin and Yan. Otherwise, it will be regarded as our great Dai unwilling to stop fighting!"
Lu Gao was so angry that he trembled all over and roared: "Qin Chang'an Jun, you are bullying too much!"
"Qin Chang'an Jun made the earth dragon turn over in Dai, causing hundreds of thousands of people in our great Dai to be displaced and their families to be destroyed. Now Qin Chang'an Jun says that he can't bear to see the lives of the people suffer?"
"Pah! ! ! "
Many officials of Dai were also full of anger, only a few officials such as Mao Sui did not have anger on their faces, but only anxiety.
Regardless of other colleagues still cursing Ying Chengjiao, Mao Sui bowed his hands and said solemnly: "I ask you to stop fighting!"
"I know that the king is not afraid of going to war with Qin and Yan at the same time. Our Dai warriors are good at fighting and fearless of death."
"But the position of Qin Chang'an Jun's troops is too sensitive!"
"Once Qin Chang'an Jun's troops seize Yuyang County, our Dai general will be cut in half. Unless Wu'an Jun's troops can break through Qin Chang'an Jun's defense line, they will not be able to rush to our aid."
"At that time, even if Wu'an Jun's troops can get young and strong soldiers from Yan, the king's soldiers will only have more than 60,000 soldiers, and it will be difficult to break out of the siege and join forces with Wu'an Jun!"
"For the sake of the king's safety, I beg the king to endure the humiliation for a while and stop fighting!"
Once Ying Chengjiao seizes Yuyang County, the connection between the eastern and western armies of Dai will be lost.
The only way left for the western army of Dai is a dead end!
If the leader of the Eastern Army was Dai Wangjia and the leader of the Western Army was Li Mu, then Dai Wangjia might still hesitate.
But the leader of the Western Army was Dai Wangjia!
All checks and balances and strategies were thrown out of his mind. Dai Wangjia no longer hesitated and said with a sad sigh: "How can I sit by and watch Wu'an Jun being attacked by Qin and Yan?!"
"Pass my order!"
"Order Wu'an Jun's troops to stop fighting and strictly guard the existing territory!"
"Please ask Mao Shangqing to be my envoy to Qin."
Dai Wangjia bowed to Mao Sui and said sincerely: "The rise and fall of my great dynasty depends on Prime Minister Mao!"
"Please ask Prime Minister Mao to fight for the interests of my great dynasty."
"If Qin humiliates Prime Minister Mao, I will not hesitate to take up arms and lead the army in person!"
Mao Sui hurriedly bowed in return: "Minister, I will do my best to deal with it!"
Dai Wangjia turned around and looked at Hongshang Pass, which had been attacked for a long time. His eyes swept over the elite soldiers trained by Li Mu. Although he was reluctant, he had to shout in a deep voice: "Pass my order!"
"The whole army will break camp and return north immediately!"
