In recent years, as the country's power has declined, Shi Le's temper has become more and more irritable, and his suspicion has become more and more serious. He is no longer as courteous and virtuous as he used to be. Not only is it difficult to listen to unfavorable advice, but if he is not careful, he will

If you offend him and forcefully remonstrate, you will easily bring disaster to yourself and your family.

For example, the battle with Murong's tribe was completely a battle of wills and was not necessary at all. But what if you don't listen to what you say? Several of them even suffered for it, so different opinions gradually became almost incompetent.

.

Now that Shi Le was angry, the officials below him were silent, but not speaking up would make him think he had ulterior motives. As a high-ranking law enforcer, Zhang Bin naturally had to speak first.

Zhang Bin raised his hand and said: "Back to your Majesty, I don't know what kind of agreement the Qin State has reached with the Tuoba Tribe, and there is no way to find out in a short time. We can put it aside for the time being and report according to Yanmen. Tuoba Tribe

The attack was carried out day and night, regardless of casualties. The situation has become extremely urgent. In order to convey

Calculating the journey back, it is likely that Guancheng was defeated in only three or two days. This brought about a thorny problem. Taking advantage of the fact that the Qin army was unable to cross the river before winter, they mobilized all their elite troops to drive the Tuoba clan out of Yanmen.

Or should we simply give up on annexing the state and return to the army to guard the three passes of Shangdang? Let your Majesty make your decision!"

Zhang Bin's words hit the point. Shi Le's mood improved slightly, so he asked: "What do you think? Let's all talk about our opinions. Xu Guang, you come first!"

Xu Guang paused for a while and then saluted: "Bingzhou is known as the mountains and rivers inside and outside. The mountains are extremely steep and steep. This is the battlefield. We should make full use of the terrain to fight against the Qin army. Please forgive me. At the beginning of the year, the king planned the battle."

When planning, use Kabanjin as the first line of defense.

Even if Puban is broken, the defenders can move into the interior of Bingzhou and rely on the mountains to continue fighting the Qin army. Firstly, it can avoid exposing the three passes of Shangdang to direct attack by the Qin army. Secondly, it can also delay the time and increase the Qin army's food and fodder.

Due to the difficulty of supply, looking for opportunities to cut off other food channels may turn defeat into victory.

If Bingzhou is abandoned only due to the mere threat of moth, then Hebei will only rely on the three passes of Shangdang to defend it. Does it sound like a desperate move? The Qin army can concentrate its forces to attack any of the three passes. Once the city is broken, Hebei will

It's dangerous. When the King of Qin didn't establish the country, he attacked Chengguo by storming and taking down the Jiange Pavilion. After that, he was so unstoppable that Li Xiong had to surrender. The danger of the Jiange Pavilion was far greater than any of the three passes of Shangdang. Please, Your Majesty

Take this as a lesson!”

Shi Le thought about it. It was the same reason. Although he had never seen Jiange with his own eyes, he had been fascinated by Jiange's name for a long time. Back then, Zhong Hui's army of more than 200,000 people was blocked in Jiange and could not move even an inch. The danger of Jiange was evident.

And Qin

The fact that the Qin army was able to forcefully attack Xiajian Pavilion may be related to Li Xiong's indulgence in enjoyment and lack of military preparation. However, the Qin army's ability to break through the pass is chilling. Giving up on merging the state means losing the depth of defense. It is indeed a move.

Risky chess.

Shi Le nodded and asked again: "What Xu Qing said makes sense, but it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Tuoba clan will defeat Yanmen, and the troops in Bingzhou are thin, with only a few thousand troops stationed in each county and city. The Tuoba clan will definitely seize it."

With the opportunity, he quickly went south and attacked Guangwu (now Shuo, Shanxi) one after another.

Shanyin County, Shanxi Province), Jiuyuan (now Xinzhou City, Shanxi), Jinyang (Taiyuan), Lishi (now Luliang City, Shanxi), and even reaching Pingyang, Anyi is not impossible. Come, all the ministers will come to help

Let’s discuss how we can drive the Tuoba clan out?”

Perhaps it was Shi Le's pleasant appearance that gave everyone the confidence to speak enthusiastically. Situ Peixian followed up and said: "Although the Tuoba clan has a strength of 80,000, it is possible that he can take down one or two of the counties and cities mentioned by the king just now, but

The farther back he goes, the slower his advance will be. Your Majesty can mobilize Puban and Shangdang three pass defenders to rush to the rescue quickly, which can stop the Tuoba clan's momentum of going south!"

"No!" Zhang Bin quickly stopped him and said, "It's already mid-September, and the Yellow River will freeze in another two months. The Qin army can come on the ice at any time. If they can't drive out all the Tuoba clan within two months,

Our army will inevitably fall into a desperate situation of fighting on two fronts. If one of them fails, the whole army will be annihilated. Not to mention the loss of Pubanjin, I am afraid that the three passes of Shangdang will not be able to defend it. So what should Xiangguo do? What should the king do?

?”

At this time, Zhang Bin was indeed wholeheartedly advising Shi Le. Only if Shi Le could hold out longer could Liu Kun get a full chance to breathe. Due to the resentment of the Jiangdong scholars towards Shi Le, Liu Kun could not openly join forces with Shi Le to resist.

Qin, in the north, can only rely on Zhang Bin. It can be said that the three parties are now racing against time. Whoever runs faster will take the initiative.

"Hmph!" Xu Guang snorted coldly: "The great law enforcement should not increase the morale of others. The Tuoba clan is a rogue bandit with poor equipment and loose military discipline. How can they be the enemy of our great Zhao cavalry? Puban and Shangdang have three passes.

With 50,000 elite cavalry each, we should be able to defeat them in one fell swoop. At that time, we can all return to our bases. If we don’t delay or delay, two months will be enough!”

Shi Le also had a headache. If he gave up the merger, he would be in a passive position strategically. However, following Xu Guang's suggestion would be a bit risky. In the final analysis, it was the sudden arrival of the Tuoba tribe that disrupted his plan.

"What a good move by King Qin!" Shi Le sighed secretly. Just when he couldn't make up his mind, Zhang Bin stood up, pointed at Xu Guang, and said angrily: "You keep saying that within two months

Tuoba must be broken, so what should we do if we can't break it? Do you dare to bring your whole family to accept the punishment and die in front of Jiande Hall? Huh! I thought you didn't have the guts. How can you, a mere boaster, dare to talk about military and national affairs?"

"You...you old man!" Xu Guang was also very angry and stood up without showing any signs of weakness: "Back then, you formed a clique with Murong Xi for personal gain, and then you instigated the king to allow him to attack Xiapi, making this beast invincible with one strike.

Control, and eventually the entire clan betrays you, hum! The king is deceived by you, no

I’m going to hold you accountable, but I know your details very clearly. You are clearly Murong Xian’s spy, and you are making lies to the king to mess up our country!” After saying that, with anger on his face, he gave Shi Le a heavy hand.

: "I request your Majesty to immediately hand over Zhang Bin to a competent authority for review!"

Everyone was stunned. While they were discussing the battle situation, the two old enemies actually attacked each other personally.

"Bang!" Shi Le hit several cases hard again and said angrily: "That's enough. The national crisis is at the forefront. You two are relying on each other in vain. If you don't offer any suggestions, where are the thoughts of quarreling? Shut up with me, so there won't be any this time.

If you argue with me, I won’t be lenient next time!”

Zhang Bin and Xu Guang both glared at each other and sat down each.

The hall fell into silence again. Pei Xian seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed slightly, and he bowed his hand to Shi Le: "Your Majesty, although fighting the Tuoba clan is risky, it is the only feasible way. In addition to attacking the three Shangdang clan, the Qin army

In addition to the pass, there is another possibility, that is, before the pass, with a small

A group of troops pretended to attack, but in fact the main force secretly returned to the division and joined forces with the Qin army in front of Hulao Pass to attack Heluo. Due to terrain restrictions, our army was unable to detect the strength of the Qin army in front of the pass, so we could only guard the three passes with heavy troops.
