Nine hundred and seventieth nine chapters Hanzhong crisis
Zhao Kuo was moved.
Of course Zhao Kuo would be moved, after all, this was a reward for causing great consequences.
If King Chu of Qin could be caught, no matter whether the King of Qin was dead or alive, Zhao Kuo would definitely make great contributions to the battle to destroy Qin this time, and no one could compare with him.
However, Zhao Kuo was also a little hesitant, that is, as the king of Qin, Chu, had a lot of troops around him, while Zhao Kuo now had only more than 4,000 less than 5,000 Zhao army soldiers. Although the morale between the two sides must be completely different, this does not mean that the Zhao army is sure to win.
Moreover, Nanzheng is the largest city in Hanzhong County, Qin. Zhao Kuo was not very confident in whether he could break through this city.
After experiencing so many battles, Zhao Kuo is no longer the young man who has just begun ten years ago.
When Zhao Kuo thought of this, he immediately continued to ask the 2500 Qin lord in front of him: "Let me tell me, how many troops are there in Nanzheng City?"
These two or five hundred masters are obviously also smart. When they saw Zhao Kuo's appearance, they naturally thought of Zhao Kuo's next actions and hurriedly said: "Go back to the general, there are about 50,000 people in Nanzheng City now, but I heard that half of them were temporarily recruited by the king, and only the remaining half were regular troops who followed the king to retreat from Guanzhong."
"Fifty thousand people?" Zhao Kuo frowned when he heard this.
Although I am very confident in my own troops, I always feel that it is not reliable to fight ten.
Zhao Kuo thought about it, but finally made up his mind: "Come on, send the order, set off tomorrow morning and head straight to Nanzheng!"
No matter what, Zhao Kuo decided to look for opportunities first. After all, it was so tempting that Qin Wang Chu's head was placed there.
...
And in Nanzheng City, King Chu of Qin was furious.
"Idiots, they are all a bunch of idiots!"
King Chu of Qin collapsed.
In fact, since the retreat of Xianyang City, King Chu of Qin had almost exploded. When he knew that Lu Buwei had actually surrendered, King Chu of Qin had completely fallen into a state of almost madness.
On the night when he learned the news, the furious King of Qin ordered the execution of hundreds of people, including many officials who followed Qin King of Qin, who were considered to have old officials with Lu Buwei.
No one dared to dissuade King Chu of Qin. Even many people knew very well that Lu Buwei's true confidant had actually surrendered to Zhao's army in Xianyang City with Lu Buwei.
After that day, King Chu of Qin was in a state of rage and could not extricate himself, and anything would make him furious.
"I have just arrived in Hanzhong, and the people of Zhao have already arrived. I want to ask you, what is the use of raising you, these generals and ministers?" King Qin, Chu, flew across the mouth, slapped the table with both hands, and there was a row of trembling Qin ministers in front of him.
Speaking of which, these Qin ministers were also very miserable. They followed their kings all the way to escape. Not only did they feel scared and fearful, but they also had to be scolded in various ways every day.
Amid the scolding of Qin King Chu, many people turned their eyes secretly to Cai Ze.
Cai Ze is now the new prime minister of Qin.
If it were put before, this would definitely be a decision that made Cai Ze feel excited, but now Cai Ze has no expression on his face, but instead he has a solemn look.
The Qin State is a completely mess at the moment. Anyone who is in charge of this mess will definitely not be happy.
However, Cai Ze also knew very well that at this moment, he was indeed the only one who could say a few words.
So Cai Ze coughed and said, "King, now the Zhao army is coming in full force. The old minister thinks that Nanzheng is no longer a safe place, so he asks the king to retreat south quickly and enter Bashu first."
The hard marches over the past few days have been a very big test for King Chu of Qin and the ladies and ministers around him, both physically and mentally.
In addition, although Guanzhong and Hanzhong are separated by Qinling Mountains, it is precisely because of the existence of this mountain that the differences between the two sides are very large, both in terms of geographical environment and climate.
So even if he was eager to run away, after coming to Nanzheng, Qin Wang Chu had to obey the calls from below and rest here for a while.
After hearing Cai Ze's words, King Chu of Qin was shocked and suddenly became a little awake.
The current Qin King Chu felt quite complicated about Zhao State. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted Zhao State to perish tomorrow, but when he really found that Zhao Army was right in front of him, he became very scared again.
King Chu of Qin thought about it and snorted coldly: "Since the Zhao army has arrived in Chenggu, how can you know that the Zhao army vanguard has arrived in Nanzheng?"
The implication is very obvious. If the Zhao people's forward has reached Nanzheng, then now that Qin Wang Chu chose to run out of the city, wouldn't he have crashed into the Zhao people's pocket?
Cai Ze couldn't help but look at Wei Liao when he heard this.
Due to Wang Jian, the Wang clan has now completely lost power in the Qin army. Therefore, Wei Liao, a guy who was still an unknown man two years ago, has now become the highest military commander of the entire Qin Dynasty under the protection of Cai Ze.
However, Wei Liao did not disappoint the trust of King Chu of Qin. At least judging from his performance in the past few days, Wei Liao at least stabilized the morale of the army and did not allow large-scale collapses. The messy situation of the entire Qin army was effectively curbed, which was much better than the refugee-like situation when he just fled into the Baoxia Road.
Wei Liao understood and immediately stood up and said to King Chu of Qin: "King, you have found out that the General Zhao State who occupied Chenggu City is Zhao Kuo. From the time point of view, Zhao Kuo should have gone south along Ziwu Road after the Battle of Xihe. According to the scouts' reports, Zhao Kuo did not have many troops from the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo, and should be around four or five thousand."
"Four or five thousand people?" King Chu of Qin suddenly became energetic and asked hurriedly: "Wei Liao, can you annihilate the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo?"
Wei Liao was stunned for a moment, then said, "I will do my best."
It can be seen that King Chu of Qin was obviously quite dissatisfied with this answer. When he was about to take place, Cai Ze, who was standing aside, had obviously noticed the situation and hurriedly said: "King, it is best to retreat to Shuzhong quickly. As for the war in Hanzhong, let General Wei Liao take charge."
King Chu of Qin snorted heavily, then stood up: "Why are you still standing there? I'm going to Chengdu right away!"
