Bai Zhong's words fell.
It also caused the atmosphere to become somber and oppressive.
Sovereign King!
Who dares to talk nonsense about the king?
The ruler of a country represented the person who held the reins.
If the Emperor was wrong, Great Qin would be dragged into the abyss.
However…
Generals are but weapons in the hands of kings, how can they blame kings?
However, Meng Wu could not refute Bai Zhong's words.
He sighed and nodded.""We can only make preparations as soon as possible.”
Bai Zhong nodded as well. He had already started preparing a few days ago.
He was just waiting for an opportunity.
It would be fine if they were to live in peace by then, but if Ying Ji really dared to do that, it would be fine.
Very quickly.
Meng Tian came to report that Rong Di's current number of people had been fully calculated.
Other than the five thousand strong men, there were eighty thousand old, weak, women, and children.
With so many people, it was not impossible for Bai Zhong to provide 15,000 horses a year.
However, the oppressive atmosphere in the military camp made Meng Tian not dare to stay for too long.
He found an excuse and left.
At this moment.
The details of how Baiqi had killed 400,000 people in the Battle of Changping were slowly being transmitted over.
Baiqi killed 400,000 people, and the world was talking about it.
Baiqi even sent a letter to the Qin palace, wanting to continue advancing and take down Handan.
But!
The king of Qin was unwilling and ordered him to wait for orders.
After that.
Zhao surrendered to Qin, and the king of Qin sent Fan Ju to negotiate peace and summoned Baiqi back to Xianyang.
The Qin soldiers gathered at Laoma Ridge also moved towards Hangu Pass.
This caused the originally good situation to take a sharp turn.
Even the army was discussing.
However, no one dared to call the King of Qin by his name like Bai Zhong.
Meng Wu even received a letter from his family, telling him to be careful of the State of Zhao.
For a time, the people in the military camp were originally excited about exterminating Rong Di.
However, under these pieces of news, he became depressed.
The next day.
On the second day after Fan Ju arrived in Handan.
Another piece of news spread from Shangjun.
Li Mu led an army of 300,000 toward the border of Qin and Zhao.
The 50,000 vanguards had also arrived outside Zhongyang City, eyeing the city like tigers eyeing their prey.
With this action, the information was immediately sent to Xianyang.
.................
In the Qin palace.
"How dare Li Mu 'an do this!"
Ying Ji's furious voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the entire hall.
The servant who had brought the information up was also trembling and did not dare to speak.
Back then, when the King of Qin was so angry, he had implicated many innocent people. How could he dare to provoke him at this time?
Ying Ji pinched the bamboo slip so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. Then, he turned to look at the messenger.
"Go and tell the State of Zhao that if they don't surrender, there will be no State of Zhao in the world!”
The attendant's entire body trembled. His face turned pale under the oppressive aura emitted by Ying Ji.
"Yes!" He nodded and left as if he was escaping.
..................
Lord Wu 'an Manor.
Under a withered tree, Baiqi was drinking tea.
He held a white stone in his hand and slowly placed it down.
Opposite him, Meng Ao had an anxious expression.
He couldn't help but ask,""Wu Anjun, why are you still in the mood to play chess with me at a time like this?”
He came here to discuss with Bai Zhong about Li Mu sending troops to attack Shangjun.
However, he did not expect that Bai Qi would drag him to play chess for the entire morning.
"But other than playing chess, we can't rush it.”Bai Qi slowly said.
He continued," Now that the king has summoned me back, and the two countries have begun to negotiate peace, the opportunity will disappear in an instant. It will not be so easy to wait for another opportunity.”
"This can be seen from Li Mu of Shangjun. The 300,000-strong army is not forcing the north, but is trying to go south.”
"I'm afraid that the war will start again soon.”
Hearing Baiqi's words, Meng Ao calmed down.
However, what Baiqi said made him feel a little puzzled.
"Lord Wu 'an, since we've already negotiated peace, why did you say that war is about to start?" Meng Ao couldn't help but ask.”
Baiqi put down his teacup and said seriously,"Your Majesty, you think too simply of the State of Zhao. How could these six cities be handed over to Great Qin so easily? From the looks of it, it should be Lianpo's doing.”
"Wu Anjun, you mean that there is a change in this matter?”Meng Ao pondered.
"Not bad." " Of course!" Bai Qi nodded." How can the State of Zhao give up these six fortresses so easily?"”
"That Lianpo isn't just a general. He's very familiar with the art of war. I thought that Zhao would be able to win with a change of generals, but I didn't expect to be tricked by him at the crucial moment.”
"Surrender or feint, all they want is for the king to recall me.”
"They will definitely break their promise. The so-called surrender is just a feint. What will the king do then? We will attack Handan again!"
Meng Ao's eyes widened when he heard this.
Although he had considered this before, he did not think as deeply as Bai Qi.
Now that he heard Bai Qi say this, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
Under normal circumstances, it was understandable for Zhao to negotiate peace and protect the country. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to go against it.
However, how could he let go of the 400,000 blood feud so easily after the battle of Changping?
Moreover, Zhao had suffered heavy losses in this battle and had shaken the foundation of the country.
It even caused it to go from being the strongest country in the world to a weak country in one fell swoop, and it would no longer have the strength to fight in the next ten years.
Under such circumstances, they would have to cede another six fortresses to the Qin country.
The situation in the world would change drastically because of this!
Great Qin's rise was unstoppable!
Once they obtained these six forts, Great Qin would no longer be limited to Hangu Pass.
They would definitely charge out like tigers and wolves!
Although the Qin country also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Changping.
However, compared to the State of Zhao, they would definitely use the shortest time to recover their strength.
In the battle of Hexi in the past, the Qin people could still eat grass and fight.
Why talk about the tigers and wolves of the Qin State who would have sufficient rations in a few years?
This was definitely not something that the six Shandong countries wanted to happen.
It could only be said that the State of Zhao's breach of contract was inevitable from the beginning!
But!
Now that they had lost the opportunity, it would not be easy to attack Handan again.
It was even possible that the six countries would join forces to resist the Qin Dynasty like in the past!
Thinking of this, Meng Ao suddenly stood up."No! I want to see the king and persuade him not to negotiate peace!”
"Right now, the soldiers have not completely retreated. There is still a chance!”
"I'll go with you." Bai Qi shook his head."But I don't think the king will listen to our advice."”
He could already see the scene of failure when he attacked Handan in the future.
This trip was not only to persuade him, but also to inform Ying Ji in advance.
If the State of Zhao were to go back on its word, he would definitely not go to war!
