The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain - 565. It’s a scam.

Chapter 568: Deceiving

After finding an excuse to appease the ministers.

Lu Buwei stepped forward and said: “Your Majesty exchanged fifteen cities for one woman. The officers and soldiers of the State of Qin were angry, and the court of the State of Zhao became Wentian and Wuxi because of this. This is the result of your Majesty’s planning…”

After praising Qin Yiren, he continued: “After I sent fifteen cities to Qin, I can also take the opportunity to raise troops to attack Zhao. Zhao’s soldiers are not enough. After eating this fat, the garrison in each city will be weak… …”

After Zhao Guo was cut by Changping, the country’s young and strong people were already in decline. Therefore, Lu Buwei’s words are indeed the words of a mature man seeking the country. Even if Zhao Guo wants these fifteen cities, if he swallows them in one gulp, it will only be a puff of fat. This huge territory will turn Zhao Guo from a clenched iron fist into a piece of loose sand. Qin State took this opportunity to attack Zhao, and I knew it would be much easier than before.

With Lu Buwei’s words, the officials were confused at first, and then their faces turned happy.

This time, it seems that Qin is at a disadvantage, but it is not retreating in order to advance.

Xiang Shaolong also had a long-standing dislike for the Zhao court as a whole, and immediately controlled the monarch and his ministers to formulate plans for conquering Zhao. After Wu Tingfang was sent to Xianyang, the capital of Qin, he sent troops to destroy Zhao.

He wanted to kill Zhao Li with the hands of Qin…

…

…

Ten days later, after the Qin State ceded fifteen cities to the Zhao State, Wu Tingfang was sent to the Qin State as promised.

In Xianyang, the capital of Qin, on a street, in a speeding carriage, Wu Tingfang felt mixed emotions in her heart. She didn’t know why she was favored by the King of Qin, and he was even willing to exchange her at such a high price. Logically speaking, she should be happy to have escaped from Zhao’s clutches, but when she thought that the He clan was still behind bars, she still found it difficult to feel happy.

Soon, Xiang Mansion.

The carriage stopped here.

“Is it Shaolong?”

“Did he save me?”

Wu Tingfang knew Xiaozhuan from Qin, and when he saw the plaque, he immediately thought of Xiang Shaolong. Xiang Shaolong would definitely be appreciated by the Qin State for escorting Prince Qin back to his country, but he wouldn’t be so big of a deal with the King of Qin that he would be willing to give up fifteen cities in exchange for her life.

“Please come in, Miss Wu.”

The waiter outside the door had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Wu Tingfang in a daze, he reminded him.

Entering the mansion, passing through the screen wall and corridor, you enter a living room. At the door of the living room, Xiang Shaolong was pacing back and forth, looking anxious, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

“Shaolong.”

Wu Tingfang was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly flew over and fell into Xiang Shaolong’s arms.

The two hugged each other tightly, and neither of them spoke.

“Shaolong, I’m sorry for you. After I was imprisoned, I was innocent…” When the two separated, Wu Tingfang couldn’t help holding his knees and crying.

Her reputation in Zhao country is not small. If she had not been protected by Wushi Luo before, she would have become someone else’s plaything. But when He Clan was caught, she had no one to protect her, and with her beauty, it was difficult to maintain her innocence.

Xiang Shaolong’s expression changed several times, turning green and white. He clenched his fists and said, “Zhao Li, I, Xiang Shaolong, and you are at odds with each other. After the Qin State destroys the Zhao State, I will definitely make you worse than life or death…”

Although there must be some grudge against Julu Hou Zhao Mu, Xiang Shaolong still hates “Zhao Li” who defeated him one after another more than Julu Hou Zhao Mu. What’s more, “Zhao Li” has now taken charge of the government of Zhao State. If Wu Tingfang’s incident has little to do with “Zhao Li”, it is obviously impossible.

“I have failed you in this life…”

Wu Tingfang suddenly stopped crying, and after saying these words to Xiang Shaolong, he slammed into the courtyard pillar, as if he was about to commit suicide.

But Xiang Shaolong’s martial arts skills were much higher than Wu Tingfang’s, and he quickly hugged the beautiful woman around her waist, “Tingfang, don’t be impulsive. I won’t care about you losing your virginity. It’s not up to you. I know. Don’t worry, I will never care about this in the future…”

Although he has the style of a thief… Mrs. Ni, Mrs. Ya, Zhao Ji, etc. are all like this. But Wu Tingfang was his wife, so there was a difference. If another man touches Wu Tingfang, he will never let it go.

But…he could only choose to forgive Wu Tingfang.

The reason why he chose to redeem Wu Tingfang as soon as possible was because he was worried that the redemption would be late…

“Shaolong, is it true?” Wu Tingfang looked happy, as if he couldn’t believe it.

If she really committed suicide, she would have committed suicide the moment Wujiabao fell. With her beauty, she couldn’t help but understand what would happen once Wujiabao was breached. Even leaving aside what happened in Zhao State, she had countless opportunities to commit suicide on the way to Qin State.

But being like this in front of Xiang Shaolong… meant that he had made up his mind that Xiang Shaolong would not just watch her die. After all, it cost so much to redeem her previously.

It’s not that she doesn’t like Xiang Shaolong, it’s just that she cherishes her life more.

Father, like son. Xiang Shaolong didn’t guess the true meaning of Wu Tingfang’s heart. He gently stroked Wu Tingfang’s black hair and said, “Don’t worry Tingfang, I will kill Zhao Mu and Zhao Li one by one to avenge you.” , you don’t need to care too much in your heart…”

The two had been separated for a long time and met again after experiencing a catastrophe. This conversation made it impossible to stop talking. After talking for about half an hour, Wu Tingfang suddenly thought that her whole family was still in prison, and quickly asked: “Shaolong, what should I do? My father and my grandfather are now imprisoned in the Zhao State Prison. You Is there any way to save them?”

Rescue them?

Xiang Shaolong wanted to laugh after hearing this. Just to save Wu Tingfang, he had already spent a lot of money. What’s more, everyone in Wujiabao. These people have little relationship with him.

But of course these innermost thoughts cannot be spoken truthfully. He coaxed Wu Tingfang and said: “Tingfang, don’t worry, after Qin conquers Zhao, if there is a chance, I will definitely ask the king to ask Zhao to hand over the leader of the Wu clan, your father, your mother and others… , but there’s no rush now.”

This statement is not credible. But Wu Tingfang had no other choice. He couldn’t force Xiang Shaolong to rescue her. Not only would he not be able to save the Wufu clan, but it would make Xiang Shaolong hate her. She nodded, “I know, I’m waiting for that day, and I’ll leave this matter to you, Shaolong…”

Xiang Shaolong naturally agreed.

…

The war between Qin and Zhao was about to break out.

Although the Qin State is now far more powerful than the Zhao State, this does not mean that the Zhao State does not have the power to fight. What’s more, Zhao Guo still has Bai Gui to help him. In the Qianyuan world, Bai Gui defeated the Jin, Song, and Xixia kingdoms all the way, and worshiped Han Shizhong as his disciple. He had already mastered the art of war and strategy. In addition, in the Tang Dynasty world of Immortal Sword, he was also the chief minister, food and grass dispatcher, etc. Wait for it to become familiar to you.

Bai Gui is not afraid of attacking Qin at all.

However, he was not in a hurry to take command. Instead, he asked Zhao Wangdan to let the veteran Xinping Jun Lianpo take command first to defend the Qin division. Managing the housekeeping well is also a credit. There is no need to rush. He rashly led the army into battle and won. Although he had great military achievements, he could not maximize his profits.

The Qin State sent 250,000 troops this time. The Prime Minister Lu Buwei personally led the troops into the battle, with Meng Wu as his deputy general. During the Warring States Period, there was no distinction between civil and military affairs. Although Lu Buwei entered the Qin court by relying on rare goods, his ability to securely hold the position of prime minister also relied on solid military exploits.

Lu Buwei relied on the Qin division’s elite troops to advance all the way to the Zhao border and regain the eight previously ceded cities. Even though Xinping Jun Lian Po was good at fighting, in the end Lian Po was old and Zhao’s soldiers were weak. He was at a disadvantage in several battles and lost his troops and generals.

Zhao State can defeat a weak country like Yan State. But if they really meet the powerful Qin Ruishi, Zhao Guo’s weakness will be exposed.

One day, there were seven emergency reports at the border.

The State of Zhao is in danger, and it seems that it will be in danger of subjugation again in the next moment.

“I am willing to lead the troops into battle.”

Inside Zhao Wang’s palace, Bai Gui walked into the palace and said to Zhao Wang Dan who was recovering from his injuries: “Although Qin’s army is large, it is not without flaws. I am willing to lead 10,000 elite troops to defeat his army.”

With Lian Po’s defeat, Bai Gui, the person in charge of Zhao’s domestic affairs, also encountered a lot of implication and doubt.

“Ten thousand elites? Prince Consort, you have always been safe, why do you say such big words?” Zhao Wangdan looked a little haggard. He was lying on the soft couch. Hearing Bai Gui’s words, he was startled and straightened up, “The Qin Army has twenty Fifty thousand people, you lead ten thousand, even if Lord Xinping resists the main force, these ten thousand people are too few to threaten the Qin army…”

Seeing Bai Gui’s appearance, Zhao Wangdan couldn’t help but think of Zhao Kuo, the horseman from a few years ago. On paper, he had already suffered a big loss. If Bai Gui had not managed Zhao State in an orderly manner these days and proved his ability, otherwise he would have let Bai Gui take the blame…

In the Changping War, Zhao fell from a country that was competing with Qin to a weak country. It’s his fault. After his death, he was ashamed of his late king.

“I’m sure.”

Bai Gui said, and then explained: “Xinping Jun is old and has long known that it is difficult to resist the Qin army. Therefore, the training of the northern imperial army in the past few days has initially achieved results. Your Majesty, you can take a look.”

He was in charge of the Zhao court, was named a general, and was also in charge of part of the imperial army. Although not many, only three thousand people. However, he trained these forbidden troops with a battle formation training method that far exceeded the Warring States Period. Although the time was short, only more than a month, these forbidden troops had already taken on a completely new look.

When it comes to the peak of cold weapons, it is the Song and Jin Dynasties. As for the back, there are firearms, and it is not the era of cold weapons.

If it weren’t for Xiang Shaolong’s presence, with his knowledge, it wouldn’t be difficult to create artillery. As for the cold weapon battle, he had been with Xiang Shaolong for a long time as the man in the mirror. He knew that Xiang Shaolong was a scumbag. Zhao Jun’s sudden strength meant that he didn’t have to worry about Xiang Shaolong seeing it.

Zhao Wangdan readily agreed and set up a banquet at the military academy.

“Is this the army trained by the consort?”

He was surprised when he saw the imperial guards in the school grounds.

The former Imperial Guards were also elite. But at most they can keep the formation stable and form a formation when fighting. But today’s Forbidden Army has completely changed its appearance. Not to mention the orderly advance and retreat, the key is that under the command of Ling Qi, the formation can be changed flexibly, and there are many new weapons.

“With the consort here, I can sleep peacefully.”

Zhao Wangdan stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Even if Bai Gui cannot defeat Master Qin, these thousands of elites alone have already shown his talent. And this is only the result of one month.

He did not have any hope that Bai Gui could defeat the Qin army, but if he could delay the Qin army’s attack, it would be a great achievement.

“Zhao Li listens!”

Zhao Wangdan pondered for a moment and looked at Bai Gui, “I ordered you to mobilize fifteen thousand elites from Gandan, and then you can rush to the front line to support Lord Xinping and hold back Qin.”

“Ten thousand elites are too few.”

After learning the lesson from the last time, he did not dare to change his general temporarily.

So I just ordered Bai Gui to be a reinforcement.

As long as Lord Xinling is honest, even if he retreats every step of the way, he will not end up with the country subjugated.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Bai Gui received the order.

…

With Bai Gui’s participation in the battle, the situation on the battlefield was instantly reversed.

If the strategy fails, he can lead a charge and break through the Qin army’s formation. Even in order to face the Qin army’s arrow formation and crossbow formation, he directly responded with heavy armored cavalry.

Heavy armored cavalry is undoubtedly a great weapon of cold weapons.

It does not mean that cavalry wearing a layer of iron armor is called heavy armored cavalry. If you want to fight on the battlefield, the heavy armored cavalry has its own set of tactics, which cannot be pieced together in a short time. And Bai Gui benefited from fighting in the Qianyuan world, and he had long been familiar with the tactics of heavy armored cavalry, and he could command them like an arm.

As for some soldiers and armors, he had the cold forging method of Xixia and made thousands of pairs of iron armors and iron swords, which were enough to not be afraid of Qin’s arrows.

More than half a month of continuous fierce fighting.

Finally, Lu Buwei’s Qin division was defeated by Bai Gui. The Zhao army took advantage of the victory and pursued it, annihilating more than 50,000 Qin divisions, regaining the eight lost cities, and even recaptured part of Zhao’s homeland.

With this credit, Bai Gui finally secured his position as prime minister in the Zhao court.

Military merit always ranks first. After returning to Gandan of Zhao State, Zhao Wangdan immediately promoted Bai Gui to general and took charge of the state affairs of Zhao State.

The prime ministers during the Warring States Period were truly powerful prime ministers who commanded hundreds of officials. Those with great prestige could even overpower the king. There are also many old practices of appointing relatives’ children as prime ministers. At this time, there was no later officialdom practice of ranking based on seniority, and those who were able came first.

…

“It seems that Zhao Li is really your destined killer.”

“At the end of the Warring States Period, there was no such person as Zhao Li. The only explanation is that as a time traveler, you destroyed everything in the original time and space, so the will of the world gave birth to a destiny person to kill you…”

Xianyang, in the palace, the man in the mirror said calmly.

“What, the Destined One?”

Xiang Shaolong was startled.

No matter how bad his history studies were, he had at least read the Great Qin Empire written by Mr. Bai. But now Zhao Li’s sudden appearance completely confused him. In the past, Zhao’s fame was limited to one country, but now Zhao Li has intervened in the Qin-Zhao war. If Zhao Li’s name cannot be left in history, it is simply impossible. Zhao Li is already a famous general in Zhao State.

“Or you can call him the son of luck.”

The person in the mirror explained: “Originally, the son of destiny should be Zhao Zheng, but because of your appearance, Zhao Zheng died. Although there is another Zhao Pan, it is obviously fake. You killed the previous destiny person in disguise. , so the will of the world gave birth to a stronger destiny person. And this person is Zhao Li.”

“His existence has not only blocked your path to immortality.”

“In fact, the purpose of his existence is to kill you and take away everything from you.”

The man in the mirror confessed.

The man of destiny, the son of fate…

The amount of information was a bit large, and Xiang Shaolong took a moment to think about it.

“Mr. Bai, what should I do?”

he asked.

He was not sure about dealing with Zhao Li. A famous general who could defeat the entire army of the Qin State, had such superb martial arts skills, and was one of the best in wisdom. No matter from any aspect, he was inferior to “Zhao Li”.

“Let me teach you Taoism, so that you can be more confident in saving your life after meeting him.”

The person in the mirror did not answer Xiang Shaolong’s question and sighed.
