Chapter 403 To fight or not to fight?
King Ji of Qin was a little calmer now.
First there is Xianyang, then there is Liyang. These two cities happen to be the two most important cities in Guanzhong and even Qin. Now there are the figures of Zhao cavalry.
Damn, are these Zhao people everywhere?
What upsets Qin King Ji the most is that at this time, the Qin monarchs and ministers have not yet fully understood the number of Zhao cavalry!
So soon, the roar of King Ji of Qin echoed in the hall again: "How many people from Zhao are there in my territory now? Can anyone tell me a certain answer?"
Of course, this answer is impossible. Someone told Qin Wang Ji.
At least at this moment, no one in the entire Qin Dynasty hall knew how many cavalrymen had entered Guanzhong.
It was at this moment that an old eunuch suddenly appeared in a hurry and handed it to King Ji of Qin with a piece of information.
King Ji of Qin glanced at the old eunuch in surprise, then opened the information and started to look.
As he looked, the anger on King Ji's face began to show signs of subsidence.
After taking it out for a while, King Ji of Qin spoke again, breaking the silence in the hall.
"Just just received a secret report, a total of 20,000 cavalry from the Zhao army entered Shangjun from Henan. A small part of them went south to the royal city with great fanfare, and the main force circled from the west bank of Luoshui, and appeared outside Liyang City after a few days of marching!"
As soon as King Ji of Qin said this, the Qin ministers present breathed a sigh of relief.
To figure out the specific situation of the enemy, the next thing you need to do is how to deal with it, which is relatively simple.
For the current Qin State, although 20,000 enemy troops are very troublesome, they are not considered an unsolvable problem.
But just a moment later, many ministers who came to their senses became nervous again.
The sudden appearance of these 20,000 enemy troops in Qin proved one thing, that is, Qin made a major mistake in reconnaissance and judgment of intelligence, and was confused by the people of Zhao.
Since it was a mistake, and it was such a major mistake, it was inevitable that someone would lose his head.
And it will lose a lot of heads.
Sure enough, after getting angry, King Ji of Qin immediately said in a deep voice: "I am rumored to have all the relevant responsible persons taken down by me, and I will deal with it after the war!"
After a pause, King Ji of Qin continued to speak: "Since I already know that the number of Zhao people is 20,000, what I want to ask is whether I can directly annihilate the 20,000 Zhao troops!"
Obviously, King Ji of Qin was still very upset about the fact that the Qin Empire had actually forced the Zhao army to the door of his house. His first reaction was to kill this Zhao army.
This matter is not only related to Qin Wang Ji's personal attitude, but also to Qin's diplomatic reputation
If Qin State could only swallow his anger without doing anything to the door, then after hearing the news, the few diplomatic reputation left by Qin State, which had been left in Qin State, basically disappeared.
This is definitely not what King Ji of Qin hopes to see.
From an inner perspective, King Ji of Qin hopes to leave this 20,000 Zhao army forever in this Guanzhong land, so that all enemies who dare to invade the Guanzhong Basin know that Qin's advantage is not so easy to take.
Of course, no matter how you say it, if you want to achieve this, then King Ji of Qin must get the help of these Qin ministers present.
At this moment, the prince of Qin, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke.
"Father, I am willing to lead the elite troops to attack and destroy this Zhao army!"
Zhao Zhu jumped out to ask for a fight at this time, but it was actually a bit of careful consideration.
After all, Xianyang City is the capital of Qin. No matter how the war situation changes, Xianyang City will have an elite enough army to guard it at any time.
After all, the army was already on the battlefield. If there was no capable army guarding the capital, wouldn’t it be easy to succeed if someone with ill-minded people launched a rebellion?
Therefore, even though Qin and Zhao are fighting fiercely on the front line, the more than 20,000 Qin defenders in Xianyang are still first-class elite troops.
In Zhao Zhu's opinion, it should be very easy for him to lead this extremely elite Qin army to destroy the invading Zhao army.
Since it is easy, why did Zhao Zhu give this credit to others?
And this time the people from Zhao came, they were all cavalrymen.
In Zhao Zhu's perception, the cavalry is simply a scumbag!
King Ji of Qin looked at Zhao Zhu and remained silent.
King Ji of Qin was quite familiar with his son's abilities. Although Zhao Zhu should have a good idea in governing the country, he was really unsure whether he could fight this battle when he led his troops to fight.
And as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of one. If you lose this battle, then the elite soldiers in Xianyang City will definitely be fully compensated.
At that time, if the people of Zhao take advantage of the situation and kill, maybe even Xianyang City will fall.
Although King Ji of Qin felt that this possibility was not too great, Xianyang was the capital of Qin after all, and King Ji of Qin was unwilling to be the first Qin monarch to be defeated in history.
Looking at the Qin King Ji's silent appearance, Zhao Zhu's face gradually looked a little ugly, and the Qin ministers on the side seemed to understand something.
A minister of Qin suddenly came out and said, "King, the Zhao cavalry has always been famous all over the world. I heard that the Zhao cavalry defeated tens of thousands of elite troops in the entire Linhu tribe with fewer victory and more. If they go out easily, victory or defeat will be unpredictable."
Zhao Zhu's face became even more ugly.
Xiangbang Cai Ze looked left and right, and suddenly came out and said, "King, if I have to leave the city, it would be better to order Wang Yu to send an army back to the rescue. Then, the two defenders in Xianyang and Liyang sent troops to attack at the same time, and they would definitely be able to defeat this Zhao cavalry army. I wonder what the king thought?"
As soon as Cai Ze said this, Zhao Zhu felt aroused, and his anger could no longer be stopped. He immediately retorted: "Now that the front line is in a tight situation, how can he easily transfer troops from the front line to help?"
Cai Ze shook his head and said to Zhao Zhu: "Mr. An Guojun's words are indeed reasonable, but what I want to say is that the safety of Xianyang is the top priority. Even if you want to do any action, you should first ensure the safety of Xianyang City!"
Zhao Zhu wanted to argue with Cai Ze again, but at this time, King Ji of Qin had already made a decision.
"Enough, no need to fight anymore!"
