The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 855 0018, Battle of Qin and Chu
Most of the main force of the Qin army led by Li Xin suffered casualties. It stands to reason that it is the Chu army that has the upper hand at this moment.The Chu army won the battle by eating the reinforcements led by Meng Tian in one go.

But none of the soldiers of the Chu army expected that the chief general Xiang Yan would order them to withdraw their troops and return to the camp.Seeing that it would take a few more hours to eat the Meng family army, but at this moment Xiang Yan asked them to withdraw their troops and return to the camp.

The generals of the Chu army who returned to the barracks gathered in Xiang Yan's camp, and they all hoped that Xiang Yan could give them an explanation.Sudden retreat when morale is at its peak will have a great impact on the morale of the soldiers.

How could Xiang Yan not understand this truth, but his words made it impossible for everyone to refute.Li Xin is nothing to be afraid of, but Meng Tian, ​​Xiang Yan, knows something.He never fought an uncertain battle, even when he was in a dead end.He doesn't necessarily have the ability to turn defeat into victory, but he must have a backhand who can perish together.

It is not appropriate to win or lose against someone who appears out of nowhere.If you lose, you will lose your morale, and if you win, the opponent will definitely make a comeback.Unless you can kill them all in one fell swoop, don't get emotional until you know the other person.

Xiang Yan's deduction is not completely unreasonable, Meng Tian has always done things like this.He never thinks about the best ending, he only prepares for the worst.Every time he goes to battle, every battle is like a battle of life and death for him.So he must be foolproof. It doesn't matter if he can't win, but at least he can't lose.

When he rushed into the battlefield to rescue Li Xin, Meng Tian left behind 1 Mengjia troops.These 1 people are all cavalry, and they are all armored cavalry that Qin has never shown up.

If Meng Tian fell into the battlefield and the Qin army could not break through smoothly, the 1 heavy cavalry would rush into the battlefield.But their goal is not to save Meng Tian and Li Xin, but to kill Xiang Yan at all costs.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. If you want to turn the tide of battle, the best way is to capture the king first.As long as Xiang Yan can be killed, the Chu army will be in chaos.

Therefore, Xiang Yan's judgment was absolutely right, although he didn't know what Meng Tian left behind.But he had studied Meng Tian before this, even his disposition and style of doing things.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.Since it's a fight to the death, wouldn't it make people laugh if you don't know your opponent.Li Xin would make such a low-level mistake, but Xiang Yan would not.

Qin Jun was pale, and Li Xin returned to Qin with Meng Tian.King Qin was furious when he got the news, and immediately ordered Li Xin to be torn apart.In the end, several ministers pleaded with Li Xin together, and King Qin decided to lenient him.However, capital crimes can be avoided and life crimes cannot be escaped. After the defeat, Li Xin still has to suffer some flesh and blood.

The Qin army was defeated by the Chu army. This matter has long been rumored in Xianyang City.Some people have already begun to speculate whether the king of Qin will appoint Meng Tian as the main general for the second expedition.

Most of the people who speculate about these things are petty officials, and only those who are extremely central can know.In fact, on the third day after Li Xinmengtian returned to Xianyang, King Zhao Zheng of Qin had secretly left Xianyang Palace.

No one knew where King Qin went, but someone saw a large number of shadow guards dispatched.They all exist to protect King Qin's safety. Since they are dispatched in large numbers, it means that King Qin has left Xianyang City.Moreover, this trip may not be too close to Xianyang City.

Those who left Xianyang City with Zhao Zheng were Li Nishang and Zhao Linger who hadn't left Xianyang Palace for a long time except Zhao Gao.Zhao Zheng came out this time to do business, and he brought the two of them just to let them go out to relax.

He told them more than once that they don't need to report to anyone if they want to go out to relax, they can enter and leave Xianyang Palace at will.It's a pity that until today, the two of them have never left Xianyang Palace.

Since Zhao Linger and Li Nishang came to Xianyang City, they have been living in Xianyang Palace.Although Qin Wang Zhao Zheng promised that they could enter and leave the palace at will, they never left the palace for half a step.

As for why they do this, only they themselves know the reason.Especially after Qin State began to annex the six countries, they had no idea of ​​leaving Xianyang Palace.

If they go out to play in the palace, someone must protect them.There are more and more people who have a deep hatred against the Qin State, and they have already disregarded life and death when their country was ruined and their families were destroyed.They couldn't hurt King Qin, so they set their targets on the people around King Qin.

In fact, it wasn't that they hadn't thought about going out to relax, it's just that before they left the palace that time, someone had quietly lost their lives protecting them.So from that time on, the two of them never had the idea of ​​going out of the palace.

Zhao Zheng left the palace in person and made a special trip to Wang Jian's hometown.He had broken Wang Jian's heart so much back then, and he didn't save Wang Jian face in front of so many people.Now the result is the same as what Wang Jian said, so he has to invite Wang Jian again.

Although Wang Jian has a stubborn temper, he is never confused about major issues.When King Qin came to him in person, he should treat him with courtesy, and even made a special trip to cook some special dishes for King Qin.

The king of Qin hoped that he could go back to his post, but Wang Jian refused because he was unwell.It's not that he doesn't want to serve Qin, but that he has gradually felt the changes in King Qin.

In the past, King Qin could listen to whatever he said, but last time, King Qin ignored his opinion directly.This already explained a problem, which made Wang Jian feel mixed.

The joy is that the king of Qin finally has his own opinion, and he no longer blindly listens to the opinions of the ministers.This is a good thing, as the king of a country should have his own opinions.Today's Qin State has the strength to make him make mistakes, and mistakes can be remedied.

But he was also worried. What worried him was King Qin's growing self-confidence.He is now a little arrogant. As an emperor, he should have this kind of aura, but this kind of aura should be properly suppressed.

If no one can suppress his aura, then he will definitely do many wrong things in the future.

Of course Zhao Zheng didn't know these thoughts of Wang Jian, the purpose of his coming was to ask Wang Jian to go back.Although Wang Jian repeatedly evaded, he finally returned to Xianyang with Zhao Zheng.

Of course, Zhao Zheng also agreed to Wang Jian's conditions and asked Wang Jian to use 60 Qin troops to attack Chu.

If we talk about the friendship between Chu State and Qin State, in fact, they have formed a relationship decades ago.At that time, Chu State and Qi State Xiangwang, in simple terms, called each other kings and recognized each other's titles.At that time, the state of Wei had gone downhill, and the land of Xiangwang was chosen within the territory of Wei state.

At that time, Qin State also wanted to be king together, but it was a pity that Chu State and Qi State did not give Qin State this opportunity.The time for King Xiang was set long ago, and King Qin Hui at that time failed to arrive on time.Missed the time of King Xiang because someone laid an ambush halfway to kill him.
