"Your Majesty, there is a lot of commotion in Xianyang City. General Wang Jian is afraid that Zhao will not fight, and he will destroy the Qin army's ambition and majesty."
"What do you think?"
In the Xingle Palace, King Qin Zhengzheng, dressed in black uniform, is at the top, reviewing government orders and documents. Below him, Xiong Qi, the Prime Minister of Changping, Li Si, the fake Prime Minister, and Wei Liao, the State Wei, are all listed.
When talking about the incident of coming to Xianyang to fight Qin and Zhao, Wei Liaozi smiled brightly, got up from his seat, walked into the hall, and spoke slowly.
General Wang Jian led hundreds of thousands of Qin troops to attack Zhao. It has been two or three months now. Except for the first battle, there is no news, which makes the old Qin people who are waiting and watching suspicious.
Coupled with the promotion of caring people, there are also many rumors within the government and the public.
"How can destroying Zhao be a temporary achievement?"
When Prince Qin heard about it for the first time, he smiled slightly, narrowed his bright red phoenix eyes, and looked at Wei Liaozi. He knew the situation in Xianyang, but he didn't take it to heart.
As long as Wang Jian's three armies at the Eighth Gate of Taixing remain in chaos, Zhao will not be able to sustain it given the current situation.
"Today, the most elite army in the Zhao Kingdom is Li Mu's 100,000 frontier troops and soldiers drawn from Handan Camp and Julu Camp. Li Xin's army in the north and Yang Duanhe's army in the south are under the orders of the Chinese Army.
, also advancing slowly.”
"In this way, all Zhao's army was firmly restrained at the Eight Gates of Taixing, unable to move."
"That's true, Li Si believes that the general is waiting for the opportunity to fight. As long as the opportunity comes, the battle will be successful!"
Next to him, Li Si also stood up from his seat. After assuming the position of false prime minister, he learned more about the military, political, civil and military affairs of the Qin State. Although he was not familiar with military matters, he could still understand it clearly after observing from the sand table and analyzing it slowly.
What's more, I have also read some military books.
"Hahaha, Li Si also understands military matters now."
"When Wang Jian led the army on the expedition, I had nothing to say to him. He did not ask for a war or urge a war. He just waited and watched what happened. Wang Jian took charge of everything on his own. Although there is a stalemate now, I don't know how long the Zhao State can last with its current national strength."
King Qin Zheng smiled brightly and looked at Li Si with a smile.
Wang Jian was indeed waiting for the opportunity, and he had the patience to wait for the opportunity. Although he could destroy Zhao State regardless of the cost, that was not what he wanted. So, he shook his head and saw how Wang Jian would make his decision.
"A great plan must be like this, but...there can't really be no movement. Now that the Zhao Kingdom is weakening in Handan, Qi believes that it is time to weaken the Zhao Kingdom to plot Handan, so that the Zhao Kingdom will be in chaos."
"In this case, give the general the opportunity to manifest a fighter."
Changping Lord Xiong Qi also spoke softly.
Fighters can wait, but they can also be created.
"Xiangbang's words are very good."
Hearing this, Guowei Liaozi agreed very much.
"That's right, that's it. I'm currently weak and waiting for the opportunity to act."
Qin Wangzheng also nodded and moved in Handan. It is unlikely that another opportunity will arise. Although there is no specific time limit for Wang Jian to attack Zhao, if it can be advanced by one day, the whole Qin country can also be relieved.
To supply more than 400,000 troops and nearly a million civilians, the daily consumption is a huge amount. In recent years, the Qin State's treasury has been full, which gave it this confidence, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent document coming from Shangdang!"
In the Xingle Palace, the King of Qin and his civil and military ministers were discussing the affairs of the Qin State. Outside the palace gate, Xianyang Palace Guard Li Zhong led a young soldier wearing black light armor to approach.
Li Zhong took the lead and stepped into the front of Xingle Palace, half-kneeling and bowing.
As he spoke, a series of eyes came out of the palace and fell on him, making Li Zhong feel a different kind of pressure.
"Party secretary?"
"Send it up!"
Qin Wangzheng, who was at the head, muttered softly, looked at Li Zhong in the distance, and glanced at the light-armored soldiers outside the palace, and raised his brows, "Shangdang's place is not a place of war, so there is no need for urgent military reports."
Waving with one hand, his eyes fell on Zhao Gao beside him.
With silent footsteps, the Shaofu ordered Zhao Gao to appear quickly outside the Xingle Palace. He took a document from the soldier's hand, quickly returned to the top and placed the document on the case in front of the king.
There was a brief silence in the hall, and everyone in the center was also curious about what the emergency was.
"snort!"
"It can only be these unpretentious means!"
Taking the paper document on the bill and reading its contents, King Qin's political outlook suddenly changed. A sharp light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He snorted coldly. After a few breaths, he threw the document down.
.
Fall into the palace below.
"this……!"
"In the past seven days, there have been three fires in the military grain and grass in Shangdang. Although they were extinguished in time, most of the grain and grass inside were burned. After investigation, it seems that someone did it deliberately!"
Xiong Qi, the Prime Minister of Changping, was curious. He stepped forward, took the document in his hand, and took a look. After taking a breath, his expression also changed slightly. During the march and war, food, grass and baggage were always the most important thing.
Without food and grass, no matter how powerful the army is, it is still water without a source and a tree without roots, and it will not last long at all.
But now General Wang Jian is confronting Li Mu on the front line, and something like this is happening in the rear. Although it does not cause huge losses, it is also a warning omen.
Within the Qin State, some people do not want the Qin army to win this war, and some are taking action.
"Coming out of the pass, every military supply and fodder is guarded by heavy soldiers. It is a serious crime for anyone to approach you. Could it be that you are a ranger?"
After hearing what Changping Lord Xiong Qi said, everyone had some understanding of the information in the document. Guowei Wei Liaozi took a step closer and slowly guessed that it would be difficult for ordinary people to accomplish such a thing.
But for those rangers with martial arts skills, this is not necessarily the case.
"What do you think, sir?"
Qin Wangzheng felt that it was most likely caused by the rangers, but those rangers were flexible and difficult to catch while wandering outside the customs. Even if they were caught, they would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
The words fell, and the eyes were slightly cold. The Rangers are really hateful.
"Your Majesty, Qi thinks that the only solution for the present is to increase the number of patrols around the military granary. The law has been enacted in the army and the soldiers must be prepared. Although the ranger's martial arts are not weak, facing hundreds or thousands of soldiers, there is only death.
One piece."
Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, thought for a while and came up with a plan.
"The Prime Minister's words are reasonable. I believe that the military supplies are patrolled and guarded at all levels so that the rangers have no place to approach. They are strictly inspected at every pass and if there is any disagreement, they are suppressed directly."
Guowei Wei Liaozi also spoke out.
If you spend a lot of effort to deal with those so-called rangers, you may not directly fall into the ranger's scheme. Now the Qin State's focus is on attacking Zhao, not them. After the Qin State is conquered, we will deal with them properly.
"That's good. The prime minister and the state captain drafted a document and sent an order to all major counties outside the customs to strictly investigate the rangers and report them to the police!"
Qin Wangzheng asked angrily, "Do those knights really think that Qin can do whatever they want?"
At this juncture, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go.
"Here!"
"..."
Hearing this, Changping Lord Xiong Qi and the state captain looked at each other. Although the punishment was a bit harsh, it was a last resort, otherwise the knights would only go further.
"Zhao Gao, send an order to set up a trap and hunt down the rangers outside the pass."
Qin Wangzheng immediately changed the topic and fell on Zhao Gao on one side. Luo Yun's actions were becoming less and less powerful. For such a big event, there was no trace of the person who made Luo Yu appear.
Really disappointing myself.
"Here."
Hearing the king's cold words, Zhao Gao was frightened and quickly bowed and bowed, his eyes flashing with a different kind of mysterious light. He knew the origins of those rangers first, but...he had no choice but to do so.
Now it seems that Luo Wang must have some credit for falling down. As a young official, he actually has little power in his hands, but Luo Wang is different. If the king is really disappointed with Luo Wang, he really has nothing.
.
Orders from the king were issued one after another.
It quickly spread from the national government to major counties outside the customs.
However, as soon as the document reached the outside of the customs, several more documents came from the Taihang generation of counties. A figure of a ranger appeared in the army's logistics and transportation area. He was highly skilled in martial arts and succeeded in sneak attacks, burning tens of thousands of loads of grain and grass.
What's more, the food and grass transported from outside the pass to the army attacking Zhao Sanlu were blocked by masked rangers on the way, disrupting the transportation, and setting fire to the baggage.
"I am sending an order to all the major counties and counties outside the customs. If anyone has trouble escorting food and grass, the county magistrate and the county seat will be punished!"
"No matter what the price is, if there is another problem with food, grass and baggage, please raise your head to see me!"
At the court meeting in Zhangtai Palace, Qin Wangzheng looked extremely ugly. If it was just the rangers who disrupted the military granary before, but now judging from the actions of those rangers, they all know the transportation route of the Qin army's logistical equipment very well.
This is not something that ordinary people know. The only people in the Qin State who can know this are the state government and the state captain's residence, central officials, and people above the commander-in-chief of the army.
