Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 502: The whole country seeks war!
Liu Ji, king of Liaodong, was very anxious, but he was helpless. Now all the troops of Liaodong Kingdom were in the hands of Han Xin, and the main force was in Zhaodi.

Under such circumstances, Liu Ji had no choice but to support the war.

Because Liu Ji knew in his heart that without Han Xin, even if he had an army of hundreds of thousands, he would not be able to fight against the thriving Western Chu and the revived Great Qin.

The development of the situation made Liu Ji clearly realize that only Han Xin can make Liaodong rise.

……

In particular, Liu Ji knew how well the general Han Xin controlled the army. Because Han Xin was invincible in all battles, he was second only to him in prestige among the Liaodong army.

Only in the hands of Han Xin can such an elite force burst out with a real advantage, and can stop the troops from Qin and Chu this time.

Because of this, even though Liu Ji was worried about the military power in Han Xin's hands, he had to hold his breath and show an attitude of the general trend.

This is the king!

Although he was reluctant, he still had to pretend to be happy, just to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people.

……

The incident happened suddenly, and the Liaodong officials were caught off guard, but the matter has come to this point, they can only resign themselves to their fate and make remedies on the existing basis.

All the civil and military officials in the main hall looked ugly, each of them looked at each other without speaking for a long time.The same Xiao He frowned, the corners of his mouth twitching.

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty turned their heads to look at the entrance of the large tent, waiting for the arrival of Liaodong King Liu Ji.

To them, before Liu Ji's fortune, they were nothing more than mud legs, but now it's different, because of Liu Ji's fortune, they rank among princes.

Because of this, these people are extremely sensitive to the Qin-Chu allied forces going north to rescue Zhao, because this is a great impact on their status.

At this moment, the servant suddenly raised his voice: "Your Majesty——!"

Following the voice of the servant, Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, who was listless, wore a red cloak and a crown of balance with front and rear tassels covering his face. His face was solemn and his eyes were fixed.

He did this today to express his determination to fight to the death.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood up one after another and cupped their hands together: "See Your Majesty—!"

Liu Ji accepted the ceremony with a calm expression, looked around the audience for a while, and stretched out his right hand: "Zhuqing, the lonely general Han Xin is attacking Zhao."

"Now Hu Hai of Qin State and Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, lead their troops northward to rescue Zhao. This means that our Liaodong Kingdom will face the Three Kingdoms."

"Whether this battle is a war or a peace, you can announce it!"

……

Above the main hall, there was silence for a long time, Xiao He on the east side solemnly cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, now that our army has entered the land of Zhao, both Qin and Chu have sent troops. This battle is absolutely impossible to avoid."

Speaking of this, Xiao He paused for a moment: "Even if our army withdraws at this moment, the Qin-Chu coalition army will definitely go north to attack me in Liaodong."

"This time the general sent troops to Zhao, just to give Qin Chu an excuse to attack our country!"

……

After being silent for a while, Liu Ji stretched out his left hand: "Zhou Bo, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Liu Ji is an extremely cautious person, he knows that most of Xiao He's talents are in governing the local area, and Zhou Bo is a good general.

Now that war is imminent, asking Zhou Bo is the right way!
At the same time, Zhou Bo on the west side raised his chest and cupped his hands: "My lord, I agree with the prime minister's opinion, no matter what the starting point is now, we must fight!"

Generals are like this, simple and direct.

Above the main hall, the rest of the officials looked left and right, but they were all calm and reserved, waiting for Liu Ji's final decision.

Seeing that the civil and military attitudes of the Manchu Dynasty were the same, Liu Ji, king of Liaodong, coughed lightly, and said in a majestic manner: "Qin Chu goes north, and his heart to destroy Liaodong will not die, so he decides to fight to the death alone!"

"The prime minister immediately mobilized food and grass from all over the country as military rations. At the same time, he ordered the craftsman workshop to immediately make weapons and leather armor and send them to the front line."

"promise."

"Zhou Bo immediately recruited young men from the middle school, quickly trained them into an army, and was ready to go to the battlefield at any time!"

"promise."

……

Watching the officials leave, Liu Ji felt very uncomfortable.In all fairness, Han Xin's plan is indeed sophisticated, and it can be said to be a thunderbolt from inside and outside the country of Zhao today.

What really made Liu Ji feel uncomfortable was that although Han Xin thought of this trick, now the Qin-Chu coalition forces went north to rescue Zhao.

In this way, the pressure on the Liaodong Kingdom will suddenly increase, with one country competing against the world's largest country, the second largest country, and Zhao Guo.

Even the self-confidence of Liaodong King Liu Ji was silent at this time.

……

On the straight road, a team of thousands of people is galloping northward, gradually entering the Taniguchi between two mountains.

It was just when the sun was setting, and the dark and long canyon made Hu Hai feel a little oppressed. This place was originally a low part of a mountain range.

In order to dig the straight road, it was forcibly dug into a canyon. Although Hu Hai didn't see it with his own eyes, he also knew the manpower and material resources needed to do so.

This means that in the Great Qin where absolute imperial power prevailed, it would not be possible to have such a grand event in another dynasty.

This valley is located on the south bank where the Yellow River suddenly turns into an east-west flow. It starts from Xiaoshan Mountain in the east and passes through Tianyinling Mountain in the middle. It is wild and long for more than [-] miles.

"Command the army, continue to speed up, and strive to reach Jiuyuan as soon as possible!" Hu Hai's eyes flashed with a dignified look, and he gave the order decisively.

At this time, Hu Hai had an ominous premonition in his heart.He knew that when he got the news from Han Xin and Liaodong, he would definitely fight back immediately, before the Qin and Chu army arrived.

Therefore, this time is the most critical time for the overall situation of the North.

……

"drive……"

War horses burst into battle, horseshoes sounded like thunder, and the black flag with Qin characters was completely melted into the sunset.Qin Emperor Hu Hai's thousand-man team has already walked out of the Baili Valley.

Thousands of cavalry flew out like lightning, and continued galloping towards the north.The black mount under Hu Hai's crotch was extremely psychic, and with a long hiss, his speed suddenly increased, which aroused loud applause from the army.

In a cavalry, riding is always the most important.The riding skills that Hu Hai showed just now amazed the Caishiying army.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the cavalry of the Thousand Cavalry is like a black wine, sweeping northward across the open fields and surging rivers.

This time, Qin Emperor Hu Hai did not order to rest and recuperate. He knew that in a war, every minute and every second counts, and the words of speed are more important.

This time with an army of [-], he had to take back Yunzhong County. Because of this, Hu Hai would speed up. .

Because Hu Hai knew that if Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, arrived one step earlier, the Chu army would have the greatest advantage at that time, which would be detrimental to the Qin army.

This war was not so much about saving Zhao as it was a division of interests between Qin and Chu.
