This battle was bound to fail!
This battle was bound to fail!
These four words echoed in the empty hall, and they were all resolute.
However, the king of Qin did not show much surprise. Instead, he pondered for a long time before slowly saying,"Defeat? But because our army is tired and needs to rest? Or is it because you have already missed the opportunity?"
"It was a missed opportunity." Bai Qi's voice was as resolute as ever."If we attack Handan in one go, we will be able to break it, but now the world has time to react, so there is no chance of victory if we attack Handan again.”
If he missed this opportunity, he would definitely lose this battle.
If these two words were said by others, they would probably not dare to say it at all.
This was because they were blaming and doubting the king of Qin. Even though the status of the kings of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period had never been very high, some were forced by the prime minister, some were made into figureheads by the empress dowager, and some were even insulted by the philosophers.
But Ying Ji was different!
He had been in power for 52 years, and his prestige and power had already reached its peak.
As the King of Qin, Ying Ji had not heard such questioning and blaming words for a long time.
However, he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled."Lord Wu 'an is still as straightforward as ever. Only you dare to say such words to me now…However, I must go north and win.”
"Lord Wu 'an, are you willing to lead the army to attack Zhao for me?”
Baiqi looked at the King of Qin in a daze. In the past, although the King of Qin would be willful and remonstrate, he would always plan and strategize for the country. He was not like this, where he would do something even if he knew it could not be done.
Qin Wang was old.
This thought appeared in Bai Qi's mind once again. If it wasn't for Bai Zhong's matter, Bai Qi would have tried to persuade him again, but for the sake of Bai Zhong's future, he didn't say anything. He only said,"I am willing."
"Since you are willing to lose, Lord Wu An, you really have the intention to die.”Qin Wang understood Bai Qi too well. He had tried to persuade and even threaten Bai Qi, but he never thought that Bai Qi would agree so easily. He asked the question in his heart,"But since that's the case, why do you still want to fight?”
" How can the general die in bed? Besides…" Baiqi said bluntly,""I can die, but my son can't sink into oblivion.”
"Son." The king of Qin was stunned. He looked at Bai Qi with envy. His son was not worthy of any great responsibility, and the imperial family was not as good as others."Bai Zhong was able to reach the peak of Zongshi realm after his first attempt at killing intent tempering his body. Even if Lord Wu 'an did not do this, I would not underestimate him.”
"In this battle, you will lead Bai Zhong. If you win, I will personally make him a general!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Qi slowly retreated.
Creak.
The door opened once again.
For some reason, Bai Qi's footsteps were heavy. It was obvious that he was willing to be a commander for Bai Zhong.
However, the change in Qin Wang's attitude disappointed Baiqi.
He was determined to go north.
Even the hidden threat in his words made him feel a little disappointed.
The king of Qin was old.
Since ancient times, when kings grew old, they would do some foolish things. However, Baiqi did not expect that the King of Qin, Ying Ji, would also have such a change. He should not have been suspicious and anxious.
It could only be said that as he gradually entered his twilight years, the King of Qin could not afford to wait any longer.
After so many years of experience as an emperor, Qin Wang's thoughts had become unpredictable.
" I wonder if Zizhong will be able to take charge after this battle…" A smile appeared on Bai Qi's face as he thought of this.
………………
After Bai Qi left.
In the Qin royal palace.
The aged King of Qin was no longer as imposing as before. Instead, there was a deep fatigue between his brows. He rubbed his brows and said,"How is the matter in Zhao?"
"There are two opinions regarding the internal strife in the State of Zhao.”An old man silently appeared beside Qin Wang. He looked old, but his spirit was shocking.
If Bai Qi were to see this person's face, he would definitely be extremely shocked.
This old man was actually the prime minister of Qin Huiwen King Ying Si…Ailizi!
He was the concubine son of Duke Xiao of Qin, and the half-brother of King Huiwen of Qin. He was still the Prime Minister when Ying Ji ascended the throne.
However, he had died of illness in the seventh year of Ying Ji's life.
Now that more than 30 years had passed, the world had probably forgotten about him.
"Does the State of Zhao really dare not to cede the city?”Ying Ji's brows were filled with anger as he said in a dignified manner,""Where did they get their confidence and courage from? After the Battle of Changping, nearly half of their men had died, and they were only in name. Only Li Mu's army guarding the northern border had some combat strength, but in the face of tigers and wolves, how could they dare to disobey me?”
Although Ying Ji was old now, he was still rational.
If he could avoid attacking the State of Zhao, he would not do so. Otherwise, he would not have been able to summon Baiqi to lead his troops back.
Ying Ji had agreed to Fan Ju's plan of ceding territory to appease the State of Zhao, so that he could use this ceded city as the core to infiltrate the State of Zhao and take over the State of Zhao in a more subtle way. According to his calculations, he would be able to take down the State of Zhao without shedding any blood in three years at most.
Although Ying Ji was a little impatient, he could still afford to wait for three years.
The State of Zhao has no way out, and they know the consequences of ceding cities. Besides..." Chuli Zi looked at Ying Ji with a frown and said,""According to the information from the Black Ice Platform, Wei Wuji sent people to persuade the King of Zhao not to cede the land.”
" Wei Wuji…" Ying Ji narrowed his eyes,""This person's elder sister is the wife of Zhao Sheng, Lord Pingyuan of the State of Zhao, right?”
"That's right."
" The Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period, heh." "Do they really think that a few young masters can change the overall situation of the world?" Ying Ji sneered.”
"This world has never been like this…"
He seemed to have thought of something and his expression suddenly became solemn."The Black Ice Platform can detect whether there are devas in the State of Zhao!”
