The atmosphere in the discussion suddenly became tense. Gongshujie stared at Leyao and said in a faint voice: "Captain Leyao just pretends that he doesn't know about the king's orders. How about it? If the king rewards you after the war, the captain will take credit. If The punishment is all my fault."
Le Yao lowered his head and thought carefully for a moment, then raised his head and bowed to his uncle Jie and said: "I feel that the king must not know the situation on the front line at this time. It is better for the general to rush into the capital first and show his strength to the king. I believe it." , If the king finds out the truth, he will definitely not stop the general from starting a war with Zhao."
Gong Shujie shook his head slightly and said with a wry smile: "Hongshang Fortress is more than three hundred miles away from the royal capital, and it takes at least five days to go back and forth. The captain is a man who is in charge of the army. He should know that the opportunity to fight is fleeting..."
"this……"
After Gong Shujie finished speaking, he glanced at the deputy general next to him.
The generals in the tent received the order and slowly surrounded Le Yao. Seeing that Le Yao was not interested in anything, Gongshu Jie was not prepared to continue to argue with him in these meaningless verbal disputes.
Seeing everyone surrounding him, Le Yao was startled. He retreated and was about to exit the tent, but he ran away now. It was obviously too late. They were all Gongshu Jie's cronies inside and outside. How could he run away? Lose.
In just a moment, Le Yao was captured and held aside by the guards, and then half of the tiger talisman from his waist was removed.
Le Yao was half-kneeling on the ground, his hands tied behind his back by hemp ropes.
He said with a complex expression: "I have always respected the general, and I believe that the general does not need to take such a big risk whether we fight with Zhao or not. Maybe the relationship between Zhao and Zhongshan is not as bad as the general thought..."
Gong Shujie raised his hand to interrupt him and said: "Captain, you don't need to worry about my safety. I accept your good intentions. If it can destroy the foundation of the Zhao Kingdom, why does it matter if you die? Moreover, the Commander thinks, Even if my army doesn’t attack Daidi today, won’t Zhao Kingdom attack me at Zhongshan in the future?”
"I have wronged the captain for a few days. After I lead the army to capture Weiwen, I will apologize to the captain in person!" Then he ordered the guards: "Detain him, no one can approach Captain Leyao without my military order!" "
"General, you must not do this. General, you must not do this..."
Gong Shujie took half of Le Yao's Tiger Talisman from the deputy general's hand, nodded with satisfaction, then took out the other half from his arms and put them together.
As he said just now, he is not afraid of death, but is afraid of the decline of the country and death. If we can capture Zhao Guo Weiwen in one battle, and then join forces with Lou Fan and Lin Hu, we may be able to completely take over the land. By then, Zhongshan State will be able to completely suppress Zhao State.
But, obviously, Gongshu Jie's thoughts were a little too wonderful.
"General, please report urgently!" The guard's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
Gong Shujie was overjoyed. Could it be that Lin Hu and Lou Fan combined their forces to defeat the main force of the Zhao army?
"Quick pass!"
Not long after, a scout walked in outside the tent.
Gong Shujie couldn't wait to ask: "But Lin Hu and Lou Fan have joined forces?"
The scout was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and then said truthfully: "General, Loufan's army and Zhao Guo are fighting in the clouds. Loufan's army has now been defeated. King Loufan led the remaining army to escape at night... "
…
…
The capital of Qin, Xianyang City.
It was sunset, and the setting sun was shining. The Qin people on both sides of the street were busy and welcoming the athletes who had just returned from the expedition.
The Qin army marched west out of Hangu, and once again defeated the "unfaithful" Wei and Han coalition forces. At the same time, they forced Wei to cede the land west of Hexi.
Entering Xianyang City, all you can see is black, black roofs, black clothing, black armor, black flags, and black palaces.
The people and horses were all in darkness, looking very solemn and solemn.
In today's world, the theory of yin and yang is very popular. The colors of the flags and the main colors of clothing of each country are very particular. Not only the color of the flag, but also the key points of the country's governance must be unified with them.
The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth correspond to different ways of governing the country. Only in this way can this country operate stably and smoothly under the protection of God.
The national destiny of Qin is the virtue of water, and it respects water. In the Five Elements, the color corresponding to water is black. So from the beginning, Qin State advocated black, its flags were all black, and its clothes were black. Black was the national color of Qin State.

Inside the magnificent Qin Palace.
"Hahahaha..." In the hall, the hearty laughter of the two people could be heard from time to time, and they could not stop for a long time.
"The battle of Quwo was beautifully fought. This battle showed the true character of our Qin people! Let the countries in Guandong see the consequences of being enemies of our Qin country!" Ying Si stood in front of the Kantu map and said happily.
After being manipulated by Wei and South Korea, the situation was finally regained.
"Hahaha, my brother wanted to go deeper into the Wei Kingdom, but he was called back by the king. It's not enough, it's not enough." Ying Ji complimented.
Ying Si took a step forward, pointed at the Kanyu map and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Wei State has reached the end of the war. Now Zhang Yi is sending a letter to the people in the Wei State, saying that he will unite Wei and Han to attack Zhao State in the north. I have been thinking about it, this attack on Zhao State The position of commander-in-chief must be left to you alone. Can you please come back? Hahahahaha... It’s interesting. The enemies who were fighting against each other yesterday will fight together today! Hahahahaha..."
"My younger brother has already heard about Zhang Yi's return to Wei, but...has the king really deposed Zhang Yi?" Ying Ji asked doubtfully, but did not mention attacking Zhao.
Ying Si put away his smile and said seriously: "It was Zhang Yi who resigned from the position of Prime Minister of Qin..."
Yingji was stunned: "In this case, Zhang Yi has betrayed our Qin country and is now the prime minister of Wei. Why he wrote to the king again at this time, I don't understand..."
Ying Si glanced at him and said in a faint tone: "There are not many people in the world who can truly see Zhang Yi's heart. In the battle of Sangqiu, Zhang Yi's plan to defeat Zhang Yi was thwarted, which led to the great defeat of our Qin State. Later, five more The two countries formed an alliance and joined forces to attack Qin. Zhang Yi was always upset, feeling ashamed of himself and the Qin State.
Coincidentally, God blessed our Qin state, and the three Jin and Qi kingdoms suffered a rare flood in a century. Zhang Yi believed that the time had come to ally with Song and Yue to attack Qi and Chu to contain the two countries. At the same time, our Qin Dynasty sent troops to attack Han and Wei. The alliance of the five countries can be broken. So, in the court, he pretended that he couldn't bear the blame of the few and the ridicule of the ministers, so he resigned angrily.
In fact, it was something he and I had discussed. Hahahahaha..."
Ying Ji already had a look of shock on his face.
Ying Si stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "It is indeed a blessing for me and the Qin State to have Zhang Yi."
Ying Ji paused and said: "Then I am worried about Zhang Yi. Could it be that the King of Wei and the ministers of Wei State couldn't see that this was a counter-intentional plan? Zhang Yi is returning to his mother country, but he is in danger of going deep into the tiger's den."
"That's why I asked you to lead the army to attack Wei, just to tell the King of Wei that Wei can only rely on Qin now, so that Zhang Yi can be safe and sound in Wei." Ying Si explained slowly.
Ying Ji listened and was deeply impressed. Then he put the question back to the point: "Is the king really going to war with Zhao?"
"What do you think is wrong?" Ying Si asked standing up.
Ying Ji said: "I don't dare to make any judgments. It's just that although Wei and Han were defeated by our great Qin, they are afraid that the two countries..."
"Changing sides in battle?" Ying Si casually expressed Ying Ji's worries.
Yingji hesitated for a moment and said: "Hey! I'm too worried, I understand that the two countries are not so courageous. Besides, now that the northern border of Zhao State is suffering from war and floods, this golden opportunity cannot be lost. I'm sorry. I have long heard that the new king of the Zhao Kingdom is capable of conducting politics and fighting wars without being as good as a weak crown. I have long wanted to know the reality of this king who is reviving the Zhao Kingdom."
"Hahaha, I listen to your wishes. You personally lead our Great Qin Iron Army. It seems that we cannot guarantee victory." Ying Si smiled.
In his opinion, even if Zhao State devotes all its troops to fight Qin, Qin State can still defeat it. What's more, Qin State has Wei and Han on the side to assist, and it is also facing a How could the Zhao State be defeated when it was riddled with holes?
In Ying Si's view, the Zhao State at this time was riddled with holes.
"I haven't fought against Zhao for many years, so I don't know the bottom line..." Ying Ji said matter-of-factly.
Ying Si suddenly turned his head and stared at him, and replied solemnly: "The Qin State will not be defeated in this battle, and it cannot be defeated. If this battle is lost, the Yan State will definitely think of the Zhao State again. Since then, Zhang Yi has been advocating for many years. The strategy of connecting and crossing will be completely defeated. When the five kingdoms unite and become vertical again, Qin will be in danger!"
"Here! My brother will obey the king's orders, and he will no longer be trusted by the king!" Ying Ji said in a voice as he threw himself to the ground.
…
…
Handu, Xinzheng.
Above the palace hall of the Han Dynasty, Han Kang stared blankly at the two factions of ministers arguing with His Highness.
"Father, our country, Korea, has just been defeated by Qin. The soldiers' bones are still cold. Now, with Qin's attack on Zhao, what should the princes think of our country?" Prince Han Cang said sadly and angrily.
Sikou Hanlin immediately retorted: "The prince's words are wrong. We agreed with the three Jin Dynasties to jointly attack Qin, but Zhao broke his promise and refused to come. This resulted in the defeat of South Korea. Moreover, now that Wei has agreed to join forces with Qin to attack Zhao, Even if I, Korea, don’t obey, so what?”
"Your Majesty, the State of Wei is capricious. First it asked Gongsun Yan to invite me to join forces with South Korea, and then he appointed Zhang Yi as prime minister. Now he has turned to Qin and is preparing to attack Zhao. Everyone in the world knows that Wei has been courting Qin and Mu Chu. If you follow Wei, I'm afraid you won't get any benefits, so I ask the king to make a clear decision as soon as possible." Han Xianggong Zhongchi said.
"Xiangbang might as well say it clearly." Han Kang said.
"We, South Korea, might as well ally with Qi and Chu to guard against Qin." Gong Zhongchi said.
"The political situation in Qi State is currently in turmoil, and I am afraid that I don't want to offend Qin State. Chu State is also busy dealing with Yue State, and has been coveting my country of Korea for a long time. In my opinion, the Prime Minister's move is just to prevent the tiger from entering the wolf." Han Lindao .
Han Kang nodded slightly, and then asked An Chengjun, Han Xiu, who had not said a word, "What do you think, Uncle Wang?"
Han Xiu is the son of Yihou and the younger brother of Zhaohou. He once joined Zhaohou in rejecting Wei and participated in the Korean Reform. Now he has been active in Korean politics for more than 30 years. After Han Kang became the queen, he named his uncle who was devoted to his duties An Chengjun.
Although Han Xiu was old, his mind was not clear. Hearing the words of the King of Han, he bowed and said: "In my opinion, Wei's show of goodwill to Qin was just an expedient measure forced by Qin. Moreover, the alliance was initiated by Wei. , I don’t think that Wei Guo will tear up the alliance alone.”
Although Han Xiu's words showed his attitude. But it does not solve the dilemma South Korea faces today.
"If Qin attacks Zhao, our country, South Korea, will at least have no immediate worries. But if we rebel against Qin and the Qin army turns around and attacks South Korea, the country's destruction is imminent! I hope your Majesty will see clearly!" Han Lin said sternly.
"Father, please don't..."
Han Kang raised his hand to interrupt Han Cang's words, stared at Han Lin, and then said loudly: "I have decided, I, South Korea, agree to Qin's invitation to jointly defeat Zhao!"
*
A crescent moon passed over the delicate turret, casting a hazy yellow light inside the high wall.
Han Kang stepped down from the chariot and whispered a few words to the eunuch Ling beside him. Then, surrounded by waiters, he walked to the harem with tired eyes.
It was not his original intention to start a war with Zhao, but now it seemed that there was no better way. The Qin State was powerful, and the Wei State had already considered Qin's side. Even if South Korea turns to Qi and Chu, as Gong Zhongchi said, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness.
Knowing how to advance and retreat, knowing gains and losses, is the kingly way. Who makes South Korea weak at this time?
But Han Kang also has his own plans...
As soon as she reached the door of the dormitory, the maid next to her reported: "Your Majesty, the young master is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Han Kang couldn't help but smile. This Ji Yao was really well-informed. She must be looking for him to investigate.
"not see."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, his precious daughter's cry came from outside the hall.
"Father, father..."
Ji Yao was standing pretty outside the palace at this time. She was wearing a pale purple brocade dress with white plum blossoms dotted on the skirt. She tied up her unwieldy willow waist with a white silk brocade belt. , the Shu brocade used in the clothes was purchased in Handan last time.
"The Female CEO's Almighty Soldier"
Just now Ji Yao heard from Xiaorou that her father actually wanted to attack the Zhao Kingdom together with the hateful Qin Kingdom.
How could this be possible? How could one's own family join forces with outsiders to bully one's husband's family?
"Sir, please go back first. Your Majesty may have gone to bed." Xiaorou stretched out her arms beside her.
The little girl also had a look of panic on her face at this time. If the young master made the king unhappy, she would definitely not get any good results.
She remembered that her young master had never been so impatient before. The little girl said in annoyance: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told the young master." '
"No, I must see my father today." Ji Yao said to herself.
"Father, father..."
At this time, a palace maid walked out of the palace, stepped forward and bowed to Ji Yao Yingying, and said: "Your Majesty summons the young master to come to the palace to see you."
After hearing this, Ji Yao glanced at the little girl behind her, as if to say, "Look, I knew he wasn't sleeping." ’ Immediately, Rou Yi gently lifted up her long skirt and hurriedly walked towards the palace. As she walked, a few strands of hair playfully fell down from the ribbons on her shoulders, making her skin that could be broken even more white.
Ji Yao walked into the dormitory, raised her hands in front of her forehead, bowed to Han Kang and said, "My son, please pay homage to your father."
"Yao'er, come here and sit next to me." Han Kang said with a smile, "Why did Yao'er make a noise outside the palace just now?"
