Chapter 344 The Good News and Bad News Received by Qin Wangji
Luoyi, Qin State Camp.
King Ji of Qin sat in the hall, his expression on his face looked quite pleasant.
This kind of pleasure is actually a relatively rare emotion for today's Qin King Ji.
Of course, there is a reason why King Ji of Qin is so happy.
After the unhappy separation a few days ago, Zhao Dan seemed to be angry that the delegations of Zhao State had not attended the negotiations these days.
Since the person who said Zhao State was not here, it is natural that the negotiations in the past few days have not been carried out at all.
There is no doubt that this situation is very good for King Ji of Qin, perfectly meeting the requirement that King Ji of Qin wanted to delay time.
After all, at the age of King Ji of Qin, it was actually a matter of both physical and mental torture to let him go to the hall to sit for a day without doing anything.
Sitting like the Warring States Period is actually very anti-human and very tiring.
Since you can eat a cauldron and sing in the hall comfortably, who would want to suffer on that platform?
However, the prime minister Fan Sui of King Ji of Qin seemed not as optimistic as King Ji. Fan Sui was sitting in front of King Ji of Qin and said to King Ji of Qin with some concern: "King, the King of Zhao has always been gloomy, wise and scheming. He has performed so abnormally these days, so I am afraid that there will be some tricks."
If Zhao Dan knew that his comment in Fan Sui, who has always been known for his scheming, was actually the four words "scheming", I wonder if Zhao Dan should have laughed out loud?
King Ji of Qin was obviously not so worried, and waved his hand to Fan Sui and said, "Fan Jun is too worried. In the eyes of the Chinese, Zhao Dan's little boy is just exhausted and wants to wait for the results on the battlefield to put pressure on me."
When Fan Sui heard what Qin Wang Ji said, his brows immediately frowned and reminded Qin Wang Ji: "If it is indeed as the king said, then the attack direction chosen by Zhao Wang Dan should be Anyi."
King Ji of Qin nodded and agreed with Fan Sui's judgment: "Yes, I also think that Zhao Dan's main attack direction should be Anyi, but I also have 200,000 troops in Anyi, so it should be no problem to hold on for one to two months."
Fan Sui also agreed with King Ji of Qin.
Since the Qin State won Anyi, it has been operating the city for more than 30 years. Such a long time is enough to make the city the largest and most difficult to conquer in Hedong County.
The situation in Wancheng is completely different from that in Anyi. Wancheng was attacked and destroyed by the Chu army two years ago. Although it was able to make some repairs to Wancheng in just over a year, it was far from enough to resist the crazy attack of the elite Qin forces.
Therefore, King Ji of Qin felt that it was not too suspense to capture Wancheng.
At this moment, what King Ji of Qin most hoped for was the good news from Wancheng.
Once Wancheng wins, Chu will definitely surrender.
You should know that during this war, the Chu State dispatched a total of 400,000 troops, and almost all the young and strong people in the Chu State were transferred.
Then Chunshen Jun Huang Xie also suffered a super defeat in Lanling on the eastern front, losing more than 100,000 troops.
If Wancheng on the western front is defeated by the Qin people again, then King Yuan of Chu would definitely choose to negotiate peace with Qin unless he wanted to destroy his country.
After all, in this Warring States Period, allies could become enemies at any time.
If King Yuan of Chu really did not care about the war and continued, the final result would only be to drain the last drop of Chu's blood.
If this really happens, then after the war is over, countries such as the Wei State of South Korea, and even Zhao State, which were originally allies of Chu State, will definitely join forces to launch an aggressive war against Chu State.
Wancheng was destroyed, Chu State and other countries were judged by King Ji of Qin and Fan Sui after countless deductions.
As long as Chu was resolved and Chu was forced to cede the land, the main force of the Qin army led by Wang He and Wang Ling could quickly return to Hedong County to deal with the Three Jin coalition forces.
In this case, although Qin may still have a disadvantage in the overall situation, the outcome is still unknown.
At this moment, a burst of extremely rapid footsteps suddenly came from far to near, and soon, a loud report came into Qin Wang Ji's ears: "King, Nanyang County Wancheng urgently reported!"
When King Ji of Qin heard this, he stood up and said loudly: "Hurry, bring it up quickly."
This urgent report was immediately sent to King Ji of Qin.
King Ji of Qin couldn't wait to open the urgent report and read it immediately.
As he looked, a smile appeared on King Ji of Qin's face. The smile gradually became stronger. In the end, he couldn't help laughing happily.
Fan Sui was already itchy when he was waiting on the side. Seeing this, he couldn't help but speak to King Ji of Qin and asked, "Master, is it a good news from Wancheng?"
King Ji of Qin nodded heavily and said to Fan Sui with a smile: "Fan Jun, Wang He and Wang Ling have already captured the Wancheng of Chu people, and captured the Chu army commander Jing Yang and the 150,000 Chu army captives alive!"
When Fan Sui heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
If Fan Sui knew that this was a good news when he saw King Ji of Qin, then the latest situation disclosed by King Ji of Qin, would undoubtedly be even more happy.
A total of 150,000 prisoners of Chu army were the 150,000 young and strong Chu State!
With these 150,000 young and strong Chu State, then King Yuan of Chu will definitely negotiate peace with Qin State, whether he is willing or not!
Thinking of this, Fan Sui immediately stepped out to salute and congratulate King Ji: "Congratulations to the King, the State of Chu no longer becomes a threat, and the victory of the Qin Dynasty is just around the corner!"
King Ji of Qin was very happy. When he looked at Fan Sui, he suddenly felt that this Xiangbang, who had been quite annoying recently, had become cute: "Fan Jun has also made great contributions this time. By the day of his success, I will reward you with me!"
When Fan Sui heard this, he was overjoyed. With the words of King Ji of Qin, Fan Sui felt that the position of Xiangbang, which had been shaking under his butt, could basically be said to have been saved.
Excited Fan Sui immediately stood up and saluted to King Ji of Qin again, and his voice became louder: "Please rest assured, I will go to see King Yuan of Chu now and strive to reach a peace talk today!"
"Very good." King Ji of Qin smiled and said, "Wang He should have been repaired and started returning to the north now. It only takes another ten days to arrive at Anyi. Once the danger in Anyi can be relieved, it will be the time when the Great Qin Xiong Army starts to counterattack!"
When King Ji of Qin said this, his expression on his face seemed very firm.
As a king who has been bathed in the glory of victory for most of his time since he ascended the throne, passive defense has never been the first choice for King Ji of Qin.
You should know that during the Battle of Yique, even though the Qin army faced almost twice the Han-Wei coalition forces, Qin Wang Ji also supported Bai Qi's decision to take the initiative.
Moreover, after Wang He and Zheng Anping's troops in Anyi City met, the number of the entire Qin army would reach at least 350,000, and they could even gain an advantage.
Fan Sui took the opportunity to remind King Ji of Qin: "King. Once you receive the news of the defeat of Wancheng, the Three Jins will definitely increase troops to Hedong County."
"It's okay." King Ji of Qin waved his hand and said to Fan Sui heroically: "Even if the three Jin coalition forces send more troops, what's the use? I have confidence in Wang Sheng, and he will definitely be able to defeat Lian Po!"
Seeing that King Ji of Qin was so determined, Fan Sui no longer continued to stick to his views.
Just as Fan Sui was about to leave and meet King Yuan of Chu, a report suddenly came from outside.
"Qi State's Secret Report!"
King Ji of Qin waved his hand with a smile and said to the outside: "Why don't you submit it quickly."
At the same time, King Ji of Qin did not forget to say to Fan Sui: "Don't leave first, wait until you finish reading this secret report from Qi State with me before making a decision."
Fan Sui responded, sat down again, watching Qin King Ji open the secret report from Qi State to read, but he was guessing the content of the secret report in his mind.
Could it be that the people of Qi changed their minds and were willing to fight back against Zhao with Qin?
With a "bang!", the sound of King Ji of Qin slamming the table interrupted Fan Sui's speech.
When King Ji of Qin raised his head, his old face was filled with an angry look that could not be concealed.
