Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 509 The King of Liaodong is furious!
20 troops!
Liaodong King Liu Ji frowned all of a sudden.

He knew that in Liaodong at this time, let alone himself, even if Prince Yan was there, it would be impossible to recruit 20 troops.

At this moment, Liu Ji's eyes were serious, and he sat slumped on the throne, not knowing how to deal with it.

After a while, Liu Jihuan's eyes gathered together again, and his whole body changed from disheartened to high-spirited. He looked at Xiahou and said, "Tell me, where did this king gather 20 troops? "

Hearing this, Xia Houying also fell silent for the first time. He knew in his heart that Liaodong was not comparable to Western Chu, let alone the Great Qin Empire.

Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, has a deep foundation in Chu, and the Xiang family has been Chu generals for generations. Both the people of Chu and the aristocratic family buy Xiang Yu's account.

Moreover, Xiang Yu is currently invincible in the world, his momentum is like a rainbow, and the people of Chu are naturally belligerent. As long as Xiang Yu gives an order, it is no problem to have another 20 troops.

In the Great Qin Empire, although Qin Emperor Hu Hai was brutal and ruthless, the Ying clan had a strong influence in Guanzhong Qin, and conscription was not a problem.

Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, just rose up alone in this troubled world. He doesn't have the deep background like Hu Hai and Xiang Yu, so he can't rely on it at all.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Xia Houying bowed deeply to Liu Ji, and said, "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent this time, although the general is skilled in military affairs."

"However, Xiang Yu, Overlord of Western Chu, Li Zuoche, General of Zhao, Hu Hai, Emperor Qin, and Qin Chu Zhao's army reached 20 people. If they don't support them, the general will surely be defeated."

"If the general is defeated in this battle, the prestige established before will definitely disappear. If the general dies, I am afraid that our country will not be able to compete for the Central Plains in the future."

Xia Houying didn't look at Liaodong King Liu Ji's face at all, and replied directly and bitterly: "First, the general Han Xin must be rescued, and the main force of our army must also be preserved."

"This time Qin and Chu went north, in the name of saving Zhao, but in fact to destroy Liaodong. The army under the command of the general is our elite Liaodong division, so we have to save it."

"Secondly, Qin State has formed an alliance with Chu State, and went north to Zhao State. However, because the king suddenly turned his face and tore up the alliance agreement, Qi State suffered a lot."

"Now Liaodong is surrounded by our great enemies. Today's Liaodong can only go forward, and absolutely cannot take half a step back. Otherwise, Liaodong will be defeated step by step and retreat to the three counties of Liaodong."

"Now my king is caught in the unrighteous trap of abandoning his allies, and is isolated in the Central Plains, so that it brings the danger of destroying the country. Today, relatives and enemies are quick, and my king's faults cannot be concealed."

Speaking of this, Xia Houying's expression was solemn, and he showed no mercy to Liu Ji: "To this day, only by supporting the general, putting all his eggs in one basket and winning a big victory, can the Liaodong Kingdom be invincible."

Xia Houying's idea is very simple, that is, a big victory is undefeated, but to do so requires Liaodong to invest a steady stream of troops into Zhao.

Even this Handan battlefield is enough to engulf the entire Liaodong.

Hearing that Liu Ji frowned, although Liu Ji was joking and seemed to have no ambitions, but Liu Ji was extremely conceited.

Seeing Xia Houying's sharp questioning at this time, his face was already quite ugly, and he had a tendency to turn his face, but the situation was tense, so Liu Ji had to bear it.

Today, Liu Ji was confronted with Xia Houying's criticism for the first time, and his heart was already upset, but he had to suppress his anger and smiled coldly: "According to the general, could it be that the king is wrong?"

Having said this, Liu Ji, King of Liaodong, stood up, and said to Xia Houying every word, "Warring States in the world, the weak prey on the strong, who would not want to destroy Zhao?"

"It is God's will that I take Liaodong today, and it is just right! Second, the coalition forces attack Liaodong, whether it is to save Zhao or destroy Liaodong, it will be a matter of time."

"Thirdly, the Zhao army is afraid of avoiding battles, and dare not confront the elite of this king, so that it leads wolves into the house. What is wrong with this king?"

……

After Xia Houying listened to the long and unclear words, she glanced at Liu Ji in a complicated way, her heart suddenly turned cold.

He didn't expect that Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, had already changed since he took the throne. Liu Ji at this time was no longer the Liu Ji he used to be.

Thoughts flickered in my heart, and I couldn't help but say with a livid face: "Your Majesty, the safety of the country and the country is the top priority."

"What's the point of arguing about right and wrong at this time!"

"The safety of the country and the country?" Liu Ji's face twitched, and he roared abruptly, "Teach them to come, this king is about to step on the Central Plains and rule the world!"

Xia Houying was suddenly stunned, and couldn't help taking a deep breath. At this time, he also calmed down completely, and said casually, "If the king thinks so, Liaodong will surely perish."

"Will Liaodong be destroyed?" A ferocious smile flashed across Liu Ji's eyes, he shouted loudly, and said, "Let's pass on the orders of the solitary, let the young and strong of Liaodong have an army of [-], and lead the army southward to compete with Qin and Chu!"

After thinking for a long time, Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, gave an order decisively.He knew that at this time he had no choice but to confront Qin and Chu.

And although Liu Ji was angry, he knew that what Xia Houying said was true.The rage just now was only because the Qin-Chu coalition forces went north to rescue Zhao and caught him off guard.

"Yes!" Xia Houying didn't care about getting angry, and cupped his hands at Liu Ji, saying: "I will immediately tell the prime minister's mansion to call for an army!"

……

Liu Ji and Xia Houying are from the same hometown, and their relationship and friendship are naturally unfathomable.If it was someone else who was here today, Liu Ji would definitely not yell at him.

Because he knew that at this time, he was no longer a scoundrel above Pei County, but the king of a country in Liaodong Kingdom, one of the best figures in the world.

At this time, Liu Ji attached great importance to his own reputation.

Because he knows that if Liaodong wants to rise, it needs talents to join. As the king of a country, he must treat him with courtesy, not insult him at will.

"General, this time Gu put all his wealth and life on you!" Liu Ji sighed to the air in the hall with a solemn expression.

He knew in his heart that at this time he had no choice but to fully support General Han Xin.Only with a complete victory on the Handan battlefield and Liaodong's embarrassment on all sides can it be truly resolved.

At this time, Liu Ji, the king of Liaodong, was solemn, but he still had a chance.

That was the critical moment when the Great Qin Empire was undergoing political reforms, and it was impossible to attack Liaodong with all its strength. In order to contain Qin Emperor Hu Hai, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, would mobilize no more than [-] troops at most.

At this time, Liaodong may not be able to reverse the situation if he does his best as a country.

What's more, the coalition forces of Qin, Chu and Zhao must be full of contradictions and entangled interests, so they cannot truly become an iron army.
