Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters precarious
After seeing King Chu of Qin faint, Cai Ze was really scared.
OK, why did you faint?
"Doctor of the Palace, please pass on the Palace Doctor!"
There was a sudden chaos in the entire palace.
After half an hour of struggle, a palace doctor who was about the same age as Cai Ze said to Cai Ze while wiping the sweat from his temples: "Gangchengjun is a little calmer. The king is just because of his anger and his fainting caused by excessive body fire. I have already given the king Anshen Decoction, just let the king sleep and have a good rest for a day."
Cai Ze breathed a sigh of relief when he heard these words.
It would be too embarrassing if the dignified King of Qin was scared to death just because he heard the news that Zhao army advanced into Bashu?
And if King Chu of Qin was really dead, the blame for scaring the king to death would be placed on Cai Ze's head, which would be a bit unfair.
A group of Qin ministers had already gathered around Cai Ze. Since Qin Wang and Chu were not awake for a while, then everyone naturally followed Cai Zema.
Someone asked, "Guang Chengjun, now that Zhao's army has entered Bashu, what should we do?"
Everyone looked at Cai Ze with a gaze, waiting for Cai Ze to make an idea.
As the saying goes, good things don’t go out and bad things spread thousands of miles.
Bad news often spreads very quickly, so shortly after Cai Ze learned the news, almost all the Qin ministers in Chengdu knew about it.
Nowadays, these Qin ministers are like drowning people. They want to catch a life-saving straw very blindly, don’t care whether the straw is useful or not. At least they have to have it first, so that people can feel at ease.
When Cai Ze faced the crowds of helping around him, he didn't know what these colleagues meant?
But the question is what good idea can Cai Ze have now? He can only comfort him: "Don't be impatient, and everything will be decided until the king wakes up."
Seeing the Qin ministers leaving with sighs, Cai Ze stood there silently, with an old face also a little hesitation.
Cai Ze is not the kind of minister who can both govern the country and command troops, so in every war, he can only sit in the rear to do logistics and fulfill his responsibilities to the soldiers on the front line.
But now the soldiers on the front line have lost one after another, which is clearly impossible to defeat the people of Zhao. The diplomatic situation on the entire continent has completely left Qin without any room for alliances. What can Cai Ze do?
What happened in Xianyang Palace spread throughout Chengdu at an extremely fast speed.
Rumors are always exaggerated and magnified during the spread, and then slowly change their flavor, and eventually turn into rumors.
When it becomes a rumor, the authenticity is far from the original rumor.
As the night fell, the rumor in Chengdu was still that "the 300,000 Zhao army had already broken through Jiameng Pass and led troops to the city of Chengdu within ten days." However, by the time of night, the rumor had turned into "the 500,000 Zhao army had all traveled through Jiameng Pass, and the vanguard was only three days away from Chengdu City." By the early morning, the rumor had turned into "the 800,000 Zhao army was less than a hundred miles away from Chengdu City, and the vanguard of Zhao army was at most twenty miles away from Chengdu City."
It is conceivable how much panic such rumors will cause to the residents in Chengdu.
But what is even more terrifying is that when these residents of Chengdu City took their families to leave the city early the next morning, they were told that the entire city was completely closed and no one was allowed to enter and exit without Gangcheng Jun Cai Ze's instructions.
A large number of residents in the city gathered on the road inside the city gate. After learning the news, they immediately clashed with the soldiers guarding the city.
However, these Qin soldiers may not be able to defeat the Zhao people during the war, but when they faced the unarmed people, their fierceness was successfully stimulated.
After several dense rains of arrows passed, the crowd of people who were originally excited suddenly scattered and returned to their own homes, leaving only endless curses.
It was also on this day that Cai Ze, the prime minister of Qin State, suffered the most serious doubts in his short career as a prime minister.
Many Qin ministers believed that it was not a very appropriate thing to close Chengdu City so early. Cai Ze should immediately lift the city lockdown order and reopen all the gates of Chengdu City.
Another group of Qin ministers believed that with the current momentum of the Zhao army, continuing to defend Chengdu City would be a dead end. Cai Ze should immediately lead the military and civilians in the city to evacuate Chengdu City.
Some ministers did not speak, but their eyes were rolling around and showed that their thoughts were not as calm as they appeared.
A court meeting where the king was absent in just under an hour was as long as a century for Cai Ze.
But Cai Ze did not surrender.
In fact, it is not easy to surrender to a person who controls the tiger talisman and controls the entire Qin army.
With Cai Ze's order, the swords and axes rushed in and directly killed the heads of several Qin ministers who accused Cai Ze of the loudest.
You should know that before Cai Ze became the prime minister, he had been the Qin Censor for several years. He was in charge of the laws of the entire Qin State. He was really unchanged and had no psychological burden when he killed people.
When the colleague who was alive just now fell in a pool of blood, and when the heads of his colleagues were raised high by the bloodthirsty swords and axes, all the objections in the hall disappeared instantly.
After three consecutive questions, Cai Ze, who had a calm face, finally confirmed that no one would object to it.
So Cai Ze did not stop and simply detained all the Qin ministers who opposed him, leaving only those neutral or originally belonging to Cai Ze's faction.
Later that day, the Qin army in the city began to dispatch and searched Chengdu City for those who spread rumors.
As hundreds of heads landed, the panic in Chengdu began to be initially curbed.
However, with the 30,000 defeated Qin troops entering the city three days later, this panic reached its climax again.
Seven days later, the Zhao army finally arrived.
Li Mu led the Zhao army under his command to steadily sweep all the towns and villages passing by, and then advanced step by step outside Chengdu.
By this time, everyone was already very clear in their hearts that the Qin Empire, which once stunts the world, seemed to be about to usher in its last battle.
Survival or death depends entirely on this Chengdu offensive and defensive battle.
