Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 267 The Battle of Tunliu
Inside the Zhao Palace.

Guo Kai's remarks caused the prostitute to fall into contemplation, she involuntarily put down the long whip in her hand, sat on the edge of the bed with blank eyes, thinking about something wildly in her mind.

She is now to the point of obeying Guo Kai.

After all, in the final analysis, she is a woman, and after sleeping with a man for a long time, she will naturally develop feelings.

Chunping Jun had already been kicked out by her before, because that man was not as docile and obedient as Guo Kai.

"Queen Mother, you said that Lian Po is still so desperate at such an old age? Isn't that a bit too strange?"

Guo Kai believed that this old man had repeatedly opposed him in the court, and if he was not brought down, the court would never be his own.

Let me ask, who doesn't want to be Lu Buwei?

It's just that they don't want to end up with Lu Buwei.

"I will carefully consider this matter, but as for the matter of him being in command, it is better not to change it? I still know that it is a big taboo for soldiers to change the commander in the middle of the battle."

The prostitute thought for a long time before speaking slowly.

Guo Kai did not give up, broke free from the rope tied to his body, knelt down in front of the prostitute, hugged her long legs, and said seriously and solemnly: "Queen Mother, you can't indulge! Who knows, this cheap What exactly do you think?
Even if he is loyal to my country Zhao, is he loyal to you?You have to know that the king is still young, if you are imprisoned by Lian Po or our country of Zhao, it will be his Lian Po's world! "

In fact, if Guo Kai hadn't been a hindrance for such a long time, the prostitute queen would not have doubted Lian Po's loyalty.

However, she had to think carefully now.

After all, she also felt that Lian Po had disputes with her many times in the court, and sometimes it was even a trivial matter.

She knew very well in her heart that there were many people in the court who listened to her, but there were definitely not a few people who spoke ill of her when she left the court and returned home.

It is because he was born as a prostitute.

Before she knew Zhao Wangqian, the queen of prostitution was a pillow for thousands of people with a pair of jade arms, and a little bit of red lips for thousands of people.

Before she became the queen of Zhao, she had affairs with many people in the court.

Later, those people were killed and shut down by Zhao Wangqian, and almost disappeared.

There are quite a few people who know about this matter, and it is impossible for Zhao Guo's aristocratic group to be willing to let Zhao Guo be controlled by this woman all the time.

And Lian Po has served three or four generations of Zhao Guoguo, and he is loyal to Zhao Guo. Let Lian Po take power, which is something the aristocratic group would like to see.

Therefore, the reason why the prostitute dared not take action against Lian Po was here.

Behind Lian Po stood all the nobles of Zhao State. As long as he was unwilling to leave, no one could drive him away from Zhao State's court.

At this moment, she finally felt what it meant to be "easy to ask God to send God away".

"In your opinion, how can we persuade Lian Po to give up his position and let Zhao Cong defend against the enemy?"

asked the whore.

Guo Kai got up and bowed solemnly: "It's just because the battle is small and the old general Lian Po is old."

What he meant was that this war was not a big deal. Lian Po didn't need to go there in person, and a young general could easily deal with it.

In fact, Zhao Cong still knows some tactics. He may be able to fight against Huanjue, but if you let him play against Yang Duanhe, it may be a bit difficult.

But having said that, the fate of history is indeed extremely ingenious.

This Zhao Cong and Huan Jue can be said to be a pair of fateful generals.

The two had several battles, each winning and losing, but in the last battle, Zhao Cong was defeated by Huan Juan, and died because of it.

Just like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

It is also like Zhang Lingfu and Su Yu in the battle of Meng Lianggu.

It doesn't matter if you win many times, but as long as I win you the last time, it will be the end.

"Well, this matter is up to you to talk about. Remember, remember to be pleasant and respectful to the old general."

The prostitute always has a worry in her heart.

She believes that the veteran Lian Po will definitely be used in the future.

Qi State, Linzi, and Jixia Academy.

Zhang Liang and Fu Niandai stood in a small mountain, overlooking the entire building complex of the school palace. The spectacular scenes shocked the former.

"Jixia Academy is indeed the number one academy in the world."

Zhang Liang couldn't help sighing.

Fu Nian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You are also a disciple of the academy now, and this will be your home."

Zhang Liang nodded and remained silent.

Fu Nian sighed: "Actually, there is one thing that I don't know how to tell you, but according to the reliable information I got, you are Xinzheng."

Having said that, he hesitated to speak but stopped.

Zhang Liang said bluntly: "Actually, I know what Eldest Brother wants to say, our Zhang family is already at this moment."

"You already know about this?" Fu Nian frowned.

Zhang Liang nodded and said: "It's expected, but I'm afraid that my coming to Jixia Academy will have an impact on you, senior brother, and even the entire Jixia Academy."

The corners of Fu Nian's mouth rose slightly, and he said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this matter, this is not anywhere else, but the number one school in the world, a place where hundreds of schools gather, and a place of pilgrimage for scholars.

Here, many romantic figures were born, even Guiguzi back then, all came here to study with the attitude of students.

Therefore, if Champion Hou didn't want to be an enemy of the world's scholars, he would not go for Jixia Academy's idea. "

"Junior brother heard that you and Champion Hou are inseparable, senior brother. I don't know if I stay here, will it affect your relationship?"

Zhang Liang asked worriedly.

Fu Nian laughed loudly and said: "You don't have to worry about this at all. It was the teacher's idea that you came here. What's more, Champion Hou and I are half-confidants. I don't think he will get married because of you. And embarrass me."

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Hearing the sound, Zhang Liang bowed deeply.

Fu Nian accepted it happily.

The fact that Lian Po was temporarily replaced made the whole world watch Zhao Guo's joke.

In particular, the old general was so angry that his blood pressure soared on the spot, and he passed out. It took him several days to get out of bed and walk. During this period, Zhao Cong had already led the army to set off.

Guo Kai couldn't understand it. At the beginning of the Battle of Hangu Pass, the Qin army also changed commanders. Didn't they replace Huan Ju?
Why they did this, they were not laughed at by the world.

If you do this by yourself, people in all countries will continue to laugh at you?

Especially those who claim to be Qingliu in Zhao Guochao, they all feel that this battle will be related to Zhao Guo's national destiny.

The battle of Changping suffered a disastrous defeat because of the change of coaches. If this time the coaches were changed and they were also defeated, although the damage in the battle would not be comparable to that of the Battle of Changping, the key lies in the fact that today's Zhao State is different from the former Zhao State. China, there is no way to compare!

Guo Kai thought that he had done nothing wrong. How could a mere Huanju be compared with Qin general Bai Qi?

However, when the news reached Qin, Ying Yuan and the others were dumbfounded.

Their laughter spread throughout the Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting high on the throne, took the opportunity to say: "Masters, since Zhao Guo is stupid and replaced Lian Po, shall we send out a few capable generals to let Huan Jue, Yang Duan and the old general have the best chance of winning?" , how much more points should be added?"

Ying Yuan suddenly stood up from the futon on the steps, bowed to him, and said, "My lord, my brother thinks that there is no need. General Huanju's military talent is far superior to that of Zhao Cong.

Yang Duan and the old general have always sought stability in battle, they are a perfect match, Zhao Cong is just a mere Zhao Cong, and we don't need Qin to pay so much attention to it. "

Before, it was Lu Buwei who sat on the futon, but now during the court meeting, if there is Wang Jian, Wang Jian will sit on it, and if there is no him, it will be Ying Yuan who will sit on it.

He felt that Ying Zheng's suggestion was inappropriate, but there was actually another important reason.

Huan Jue is in command, who will be sent to serve him?
Monty?Meng Yi?Li Tong?Li Xin?

None of these people will obey him.

As for young generals like Zhang Han and Yang Xiong, it is useless even if they go.

Therefore, it is better to let Huanju fight this battle well by himself.

Otherwise, it is easy to be self-defeating.

Wei Liao also felt that what Ying Yuan said was reasonable, so he stepped out of the queue and agreed.

At the end of November in the 13th year of Qin Wangzheng, Qin general Huanju and Zhao general Zhao Cong fought in the Shaoshui area.

This battle lasted for seven days and seven nights.

The entire Shaoshui River was dyed blood red.

In the end, under Huanju's insistence, Yang Duanhe captured Pingzhou and hoarded troops in Tongan.

Tong'an City is less than half a day away from Tunliu.

After the Qin army captured Tunliu, Zhao Cong didn't dare to continue to compete with the Qin army, and decided to retreat into Tunliu city and defend it.

Seeing that the strategy had been accomplished, Huanju simply joined forces with Yang Duanhe to besiege Tunliu.

At this point, the Tunliu War started.

On the top of the city, Zhao Cong, who was covered in blood, frowned tightly.

If God was giving him a chance, he would definitely not choose to stick to Tunliu, but would choose to enter the hinterland of Zhao State to fight, and take advantage of the favorable terrain to slowly drag down the Qin army.

But now, he has no way out, and at this moment, he has no choice but to stick to Tunliu.

Because they were surrounded by the Qin army in all directions.

The scouts who went to ask for reinforcements did not know if they had arrived in Handan at this time.

Zhao Cong was extremely worried.

"General, we have been defending for half a month. If we continue to defend, can we still hold it? The reinforcements have not arrived yet."

Yan Ju stood beside him and said worriedly.

Zhao Cong said: "The enemy's army is far more numerous than ours, so there is no other way to fight this battle than stick to it.

If we guard for one day and they don't withdraw, then we will guard for a month or a year, and we don't believe that this huge Qin army can spend it with us. "

Yan Ju lowered his head and became silent.

Not to mention staying here for a year, even for a month, he has no confidence.

After all, the grain and grass are about to bottom out.

Many nobles in the city have long since fled to the countryside or elsewhere in order to escape the chaos of war.

Even food and grass and the like are all taken.

Some poor people have no way to run and can only stay in the city.

These poor people are almost unable to afford food, so we can't still rob them of their food to subsidize the military, right?
Champion House.

Inside the Chamber.

Ying Yuan summoned Meng Tian and others to discuss the war ahead.

"This battle has been fought so far, and our army's victory is in sight. We just want to prevent Zhao Guo from sending reinforcements. Go ask Mi Qi if he can allocate some more food and grass from various places and send it to the front line.

Now is the time to fight a war of attrition, not only food and grass, but also all armaments, herbs, etc., must be sent to Huan Yu as soon as possible.

Ladies and gentlemen, if this war is correct, it is estimated that this war will last for quite a long time. "

Ying Yuan sat on the chair and sighed worriedly.

"However, we have sent food and grass to Huan Juan, Yang Duan and the two generals several times. If we send it again, will the king get what he wants?" Li Tong worried.

"We have nothing to do if he doesn't wish. The soldiers in front are the most important. Let Mi Qi figure out a way, and then send some supplies to the front line."

In fact, Ying Yuan was the great Sima and General, and he was truly benevolent.

Logically speaking, he doesn't like Huan Juan.

But, even so, he still spared no effort to help the other party in the country.

The reason is the same, Huan Yu is doing things for the country, so you can't let those who bleed and sacrifice for the country and family feel chilling, right?

What's more, there are more than [-] Qin army soldiers under his command.
