Outside Huoren City, the twilight bathed in the mountains, the mist was frivolous, and the setting sun reflected a luxurious cavalry on the straight road.
Zhao Yong glared at Niu Jian and asked subconsciously: "Has the intelligence been verified to be true or false?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, and I dare not deceive you!" Niu Jian knelt down on one knee and replied truthfully.
It's not that Zhao Yong didn't believe what Niu Jian said. Niu Jian didn't dare to deceive him even if he had three guts.
Zhao Yong just felt a little surprised in his heart.
Half a month ago, he had received a wave of news from Handan. At that time, although he had already expected that the Qin army would be defeated.
But I never expected that the Qin army would be defeated so miserably, and the entire army of Qi was directly defeated.
The victory of the Qi army once again refreshed Zhao Yong's new understanding of Qi.
Zhao Yong secretly slapped himself. The memory of his past life greatly affected his judgment of the current situation. The Qin State was indeed strong after Shang Jun's reforms, but it was not invincible.
At this time, the leader of Tian Qi's resurgence, King Qi Wei, who broke the myth of Wei Wu's undefeated soldiers, seems to be still alive!
The reason why the Qin State was able to annex the six kingdoms later was not a one-day achievement, but a fierce struggle for six generations. After a hundred years of continuous encroachment on the Six Kingdoms of Guandong, and several alienations and conflicts.
Even Fan Ju, who proposed the strategy of distant friendship and close attack to the King of Qin at that time, was probably not even born yet.
The land of China is still an era where six countries compete for hegemony, rather than which country is dominant.
Although Qin is strong, it is not invincible.
Wei Ying, Tian Yinqi and even Zhao Yong were not the dominant heroes for a while.
Of course Qin needs to pay attention, but Qi and Wei also need to be on guard.
Zhao Yong was already shocked into a cold sweat at this time.
"You go and wait outside, and you and I will return to Handan later!" Zhao Yong immediately said to Niu Jian.
"Here!" Niu Jian bowed and walked aside.
Zhao Yong got off the carriage and beckoned Pang Nuan over: "Go and call Fei Yi and Li Dui over." He paused and said, "Forget it, I'll go there in person."
Feiyi and Li Dui were guarding the rear of the team at this time. Naturally, they had already seen a group of cavalry led by Niu Jian. When they saw Zhao Yong coming towards them in person, they immediately dismounted and paid homage.
Zhao Yong waved his hand and briefly explained to the two of them the situation reported by Niu Jian just now.
"The entire Qin army was wiped out?" The reaction of the two men was the same as Zhao Yong thought, and they both showed surprise.
But what he did immediately was completely different.
"I beg you to lead my troops from Jinyang to attack Qin immediately and take back the two cities of Lin and Lishi, the hometown of Zhao!" Li Dui immediately bowed and bowed.
Li Dui's words also touched Zhao Yong's heart.
I'll kill you while you're sick!
Didn't Ying Si lead his army to threaten me last year? What kind of king do you want me to have with you this year with coercion and inducement? The retribution of this world comes so quickly.
Moreover, Marquis Zhao Su of Lin and Lishi cities still thought about it when he was dying. Therefore, whether it is selfish or public, Zhao Yong is determined to win these two cities.
If these two cities are obtained, Zhao will be able to regain a foothold in Hexi and turn passive into active in the face of Qin's oppression.
But Zhao Yong still resisted the temptation at this time, turned to Fei Yi and asked: "What do you think, Master Fei?"
"I think otherwise. I feel that the most important thing first is to strengthen the defense force on the border between Qi and Zhao. I am afraid that Qi soldiers will use the power of Qin to invade our Zhao territory."
Fei Yi glanced at Li Dui, paused and then said: "As for Lin and Lishi, our State of Zhao is of course determined to win. Recovering the lost land is the long-cherished wish of the late emperor! However... Yichen's guess is that the State of Qin It should be handed over obediently without the need for Zhao to send any soldiers."
"Oh? I wonder what the doctor said?" Li Dui asked, bowing his head.
"The Qin State lost 30,000 warriors in one battle without making any achievements, and its prestige was completely lost. I am afraid that the small countries that are attached to the Qin State are now trying to plot evil.
I think that if Qin Jun Ying Si is smart, he will definitely submit to Zhao, Wei, Han, and other Guandong countries at this time, and ceding land will naturally be additional. Fei Yi replied.
"What if something can't be done?" Zhao Yong stared at Fei Yi and said.
"If something can be done, it must be done! It is enough for the Qin State to surrender. If it is true as the monarch said, then we, the State of Zhao, will unite with Wei and South Korea to fight." Fei Yi bowed and replied.
"You have been taught a lesson!"
"I have learned a lesson!" Zhao Yong and Li Dui saluted Fei Yi together.
"It's better to discuss everything with the officials after we return to Handan!" Zhao Yong then said to Pang Nuan next to him: "Pang Nuan obeys the order!"
"I'm here!" Pang Nuan knelt down and said with cupped hands. He knew that Zhao Yong was about to entrust him with an important mission.
"You take the military talisman of a few people and immediately mobilize the Handan army with 500 chariots and 30,000 soldiers and rush to Wucheng. Prevent Qi from stealing the border!" Zhao Yong said solemnly.
Nowadays, there are not many close generals that Zhao Yong can entrust with important tasks, and Pang Nuan is one of them.
Although he is not old, he is actually very skilled in battle formations, and with a little training, he will definitely be able to defend one side.
Just asking him to be a captain of the bodyguard for him is really a bit humiliating.
"Here!" Pang Nuanyi replied solemnly, knowing that this was the monarch's trust in him. How could he live up to it!
Then Zhao Yong took out half of the tiger-shaped military talisman from his sleeve robe and handed it to Pang Nuan.
Pang Nuan took the tiger talisman and bowed solemnly to Zhao Yong. Then he got on the horse and rode towards the distance.
Zhao Yong watched Pang Nuan's figure gradually disappear from the end of his field of vision. He sighed softly: "I hope Qi State will not go to war with Zhao State."
"The battle between the Qi army and the Qin army will definitely result in considerable losses, but we still have to be cautious." Fei Yi saw the worry in Zhao Yong's heart and comforted him.
"I hope it's as the fat master thinks." After Zhao Yong said that, he walked towards the horse sedan that Meng Rou was sitting on.
Naturally, Meng Rou had already heard the conversation among the group. When she saw Zhao Yong approaching, she hurriedly asked the palace maid to raise the curtain.
"I can't accompany you to Qingliang Mountain. There is a military situation on the front line. I need to return to Handan immediately..."
Meng Rou's eyes were filled with tears. When she saw this, she hurriedly interrupted him and said: "The king should give top priority to state affairs, and his concubines will not get in the way."
Hearing what she said, Zhao Yong suddenly felt a sense of apology in his heart. But then he replied cruelly: "Okay, then Rou'er can just walk slowly with the cavalry. I'll wait for you in Handan."
"Mr. Qingyi, be sure to protect the young concubine and reach Handan safely!" Zhao Yong said with a salute to the master of the Mo family standing aside.
"No need to be polite, Marquis Zhao! I will deliver the young concubine safely." Qing Yi hurriedly returned the greeting.
Zhao Yong glanced at the first-class master who had borrowed it from Luo Coral, then turned around and never looked back.
He led Fei Yi, Li Dui and Niu Jian towards Handan.
