Da Qin: I became friends with Zhao Zheng

Chapter 189

Then there is no need to think about sneaking into the military camp, they run the army rigorously!
No wonder no one uses that method now. It's not that they can't think of it, but they think of something that others can think of.

"Is there nothing they can't guard against?" Yao Xing was a little discouraged and complained with a pout.

Zhao Zheng was thoughtful, turned around and walked out.

Yao Xing looked confused. Why was he leaving while he was talking?

A few days later, Zhao Zheng secretly sent more than a hundred dead soldiers and ordered them to disperse and sneak into the Chu State's grain and grass hoarding areas.

After Li Xin and Wang Ben went on the expedition, only one letter was sent back, which worried Zhao Zheng. However, the soldiers sent several times to deliver the message failed to return, which made Zhao Zheng's premonition even more serious.

Sure enough, a month later, Mi Qi surrendered to the enemy, and the news that Qin's 20-strong army was almost wiped out was sent back by Li Xin and Meng Tian. The two of them felt guilty, naked to the waist, and tied their hands behind their backs to explain the situation in the court.

At the same time, a fire broke out in the area where the Chu army's grain and grass were stored. However, the army failed to put out the fire in time, resulting in little grain and grass left, and even nearby military camps and houses suffered heavy losses.

This can be regarded as a good news for Zhao Zheng, and the dull atmosphere in the DPRK has dissipated a little.The Chu State's national strength is getting worse year by year. Now the food and grass are burned, and even if they have soldiers and horses, they can only starve.

Zhao Zheng took Yao Xing to Wang Jian's house in person to ask Wang Jian to lead the army. Yao Xing thought that he would put down his body and have a serious talk with Wang Jian, but he did not expect that Wang Jian had been waiting for Wang Jia at the door.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Wang Jian knelt on the ground, blaming the defeat of the army on himself, and begged Zhao Zheng to reuse him and let him lead the troops to avenge this blood revenge.

The fault was not Wang Jian's. Now Wang Jian's loyalty and patriotism also made Zhao Zheng feel guilty.He immediately took Yao Xing out of the carriage, helped Wang Jian up in person, and praised Wang Jian at the door for his mastery of military skills. He said that only Wang Jian could not win this battle.

Entering Wang Jian's mansion, a group of female servants knelt on both sides to greet him. A girl carved in pink and jade attracted Yao Xing's attention.

When the girl saw Yao Xing looking over, she happily reached out and grabbed the air twice.

Zhao Zheng also looked over. He already had two sons, but no daughter. Now that he saw such a cute little girl, he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Whose child is this?" Zhao Zheng asked curiously.

Wang Jian lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, this is Wang Yao, the son of my younger brother Wang Ben."

Zhao Zheng praised without hesitation: "Yao, Meiyu is also a good name!"

Zhao Zheng was concerned about the war and had no other thoughts. He immediately walked in quickly. He wanted to hear Wang Jian's views on the war and his strategies for dealing with the enemy.

Yao Xing chatted with the female family members in Wang Jian's mansion for a while, and then returned to the palace with Zhao Zheng when Zhao Zheng came out.

After talking to Wang Jian, Zhao Zheng looked much better, and he could still express his emotions to Yao Xing on the way back to the palace.

"Wang Jian is really the pillar of my great Qin Dynasty!"

Yao Xing hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "Actually, Li Xin and Meng Tian's plan may not be wrong, but no one expected that Mi Qi would surrender to the enemy. The military deployment of Da Qin was all under the eyes of the Chu people, and it was lost again." How can we be invincible with food and grass?”

Zhao Zheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent when he thought of Mi Qi who had surrendered to the enemy. He had always been the only one who had others take refuge in him, but he had never betrayed him and still survived!
Zhao Zheng: "But now that the Qin Dynasty has lost a battle, only one general can boost the morale of the army. Only Wang Jian can do it. Moreover, Wang Jian has the best chance of winning when he leads the army."
