The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Zhao Dan is only two years older than Ying Chang, but Prince Zhao Zhao Zhi is five years older than Qin First Prince Ying Jiang, and Ying Chang is five years behind in having children.

"It's been a long time, why is your majesty still awake, let's pass it on to the imperial physician!" Queen Fang looked worriedly at Zhao Dan on the dragon couch, tears flickering in her eyes.

"What's the rumor? The Imperial Physician has just left and has frequently announced the Imperial Physician. His Majesty's condition has not improved, but rumors have arisen instead. Don't you think that Zhao is not chaotic enough?" Zhu Ci scolded with a sullen face, Queen Fang lowered her head and dared not speak. , A trace of grievance appeared on his face.

Seeing Empress Fang's expression of grievance, Zhu Ci couldn't help but soften his heart, and his face eased a lot. He comforted him softly: "Didn't the imperial doctor say that? Your Majesty is just short of breath, and it will be fine when you breathe out." , you don't have to worry too much."

"What Grandma Huang said is true." Queen Fang nodded and replied.

Zhu Ci turned to look at Zhao Dan on the dragon couch, sighed inwardly, then turned to look at Fang Shixin and asked, "Have the kings of all countries left?"

Fang Shixin quickly raised his hand and wrote back: "All of them are gone. It's my fault. I didn't appease the kings of the countries in the first time, which caused the kings of the countries to leave one after another. Please punish the empress dowager!" After finishing speaking, Fang Shixin gently Waist, to show willingness to accept all punishment.

Zhu Ci took a deep breath and said calmly, "You can't blame this matter. If you want to blame it, you can blame the Qin army for moving too fast. They didn't wait for all the coalition troops to arrive. You can also blame the idiots on the front line for not being able to withstand the attack of the Qin army. I can't stand it for a day!"

"My Great Zhao's front line was defeated, and the Xia Dynasty's front line was also defeated. No matter what words you use to appease the kings of the countries, the prime minister, the kings of the countries will leave, because they can no longer see the hope of defeating Qin. If you stop early, you can stop the losses in time."

"Ah..." Fang Shixin sighed softly, then raised his head to look at Zhu Ci and asked, "Your Majesty is unconscious now, please ask the Empress Dowager to come up with a countermeasure."

"Don't ask the Ai family about this kind of thing, the prince is here, you can ask the prince what is the countermeasure!" Zhu Ci said expressionlessly.

Fang Shixin turned his head to look at Prince Zhao Zhi, Zhao Zhi hurriedly bowed to Zhu Ci and saluted, "Before the father and the emperor took charge, the emperor's grandmother was in charge of the government, and the great-grandson has little knowledge, so he asked the emperor's grandmother for advice. "

"Just tell me if you have it!"

Zhu Ci didn't want to hear some nonsense, and she wasn't in the mood to listen to these polite words at this time.

Zhao Zhi glanced at Empress Fang, only to see Empress Fang nodded slightly, indicating that she could speak, so Zhao Zhi replied with a respectful expression: "The emperor's grandmother and great-grandson think that the fall of Changmen and Shalongguan will not endanger us. Great Zhao Guoben!"

"Although our 50 elite troops in Great Zhao are completely lost, as long as we cut off the Huangjiang cable bridge and cut off all routes north of the Yellow River, the Qin army will be unable to enter the south of the Yellow River and invade the hinterland of our Great Zhao!"

Zhu Ci pondered for a moment, and then said: "Once the Huangjiang cable bridge is cut off, although it will prevent the Qin army from going south, my Great Zhao will lose the entire Beichang County, the two counties in the south of Donggu County, and the six counties in Tianyang County." ;This method is stupid, but it is a good strategy!"

PS: "I'm not sure whether this book will end, but the author can guarantee that I will give you a more perfect ending even if I try my best!"

Chapter 928 Zhao Dan's Tears!

"What does the prime minister think?" Zhu Ci then asked Fang Shixin.

Fang Shixin forced a smile, "As the Empress Dowager said, this method is stupid, but it is the only way for my great Zhao to survive. In ancient times, there were strong men who broke their arms to save their bodies. Today, my great Zhao wants to kill himself." Protect the country north of the Yellow River."

"However, I believe that one day, my Great Zhao will definitely regain my homeland. This day will not be long!"

After hearing these words, Zhu Ci felt helpless and guilty in his heart. When the former emperor passed away, he asked her to protect Da Zhao, but now, after ceding the north of the Yellow River, losing his ancestors, and descending to Jiuyou, It's really shameless to meet your ancestors.

"Then do it according to this!" Zhu Ci looked at Zhao Dan on the dragon bed and said softly.

"Obey!" Fang Shixin leaned over and responded, and then he left.

After a while, Prince Zhao Zhi and Empress Fang also left the imperial palace, and Zhu Ci stayed for a while before leaving too.

Zhu Ci didn't know it was, after she left, tears overflowed from the corners of Zhao Dan's tightly closed eyes. In fact, he had woken up a long time ago, but he didn't dare to wake up, as the saying goes, never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.

He really didn't dare to wake up, and didn't dare to accept bad news one after another as soon as he woke up. Someone would have thought that the high-spirited and talented Zhao Didan chose to hide from the national crisis and became the most shameful coward.

But he chooses to escape, but he can't escape from reality. What he is doing now is nothing more than deception. The bad news has already taken root in his heart and mind, and his heart is tortured by the bad news every moment.

At the same time, the Daqi Dynasty, Hanchuan County, Linzi Imperial Capital!

The Imperial Palace, Library Pavilion!

The library pavilion was brightly lit, and Jiang Huadong, the emperor of Daqi who was about to die, sat on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. In front of the royal platform, stood a young eunuch, holding a memorial and chanting: "The Ministry of War reports : Emperor Qin is leading an army of 50 troops across the western desert, and the target of Emperor Qin's conquest is temporarily unknown!"

Jiang Huadong slowly opened his eyes, and cursed softly with an ugly face: "Trash, the Emperor Qin's personal conquest target doesn't even know what it is, what did the Ministry of War do!"

The eunuch quickly bowed his head and dared not speak.

Jiang Huadong closed his eyes again, and asked softly, "What are the movements of the Qin army outside Tankou Pass and the Qin army outside Xishui Pass?"

"Your Majesty, there is no news yet!" The eunuch lowered his head and replied.

"Report!"

In vain at this time, there was an urgent call from outside the hall. Because the sound was loud and very sudden, Jiang Huadong opened his eyes in fright, and the eunuch trembled from fright.

Ding Qing took a look and saw a guard standing at the door of Zangshu Pavilion, the eunuch immediately walked over and shouted: "You are looking for death, what is the name of the night, don't be afraid of disturbing..."

"It was the truth that told him to spread the word, does the prince have any objections?"

The eunuch hadn't finished drinking and cursing, when a voice that was neither humble nor overbearing interrupted the eunuch's cursing, the eunuch looked up subconsciously, and saw a man in green robe standing in his thirties not far behind the imperial guards, The man in the green robe is tall and tall, with his head held high and his chest held high, his eyes full of aloofness.

Seeing this person, the angry prince immediately extinguished his anger, turned into a flattering smile and said: "So it's Cui Xiang, disrespect and disrespect!"

Cui Han, a native of Wu'an County in the Great Qi Dynasty, is proficient in the art of war and the way of governing the country. He was originally the governor of Wu'an County. He was transferred to the Ministry of War by Jiang Huadong two years ago. Satisfied, thinking that this is a peerless talent bestowed by God on Daqi.

The most important thing is that Cui Han's way of governing the country is the same as that of the emperor's great-grandson Jiang Bai. They both want Daqi to change from a trading power to a military power. You can only live in a corner forever, and you can't achieve hegemony.

Originally, Jiang Huadong was very opposed to this way of governing the country. He believed that trade was the foundation of Daqi, but as the Qin Dynasty became stronger and stronger, he changed from previous resistance to welcome, but he did not have much time to govern. This matter still has to be handed over to Jiang Bai, the great-grandson of the emperor's wife.

But Cui Han is good at everything, that is, he is young and energetic, proud of his talents, and is very interested in various policies of the Qin Dynasty. He has to be cautious. If Cui Han is interested in Qin's policies and runs to serve the Qin Dynasty, Da Qi will suffer a lot.

In order to prevent such a talent from going to serve in the Qin Dynasty, in order to retain this talent for the emperor's great-grandson Jiang Bai, and the former prime minister happened to die of illness, Cui Han was directly promoted to prime minister, skipping one level. The highest level of ministers, 32-year-old extremely human ministers, is really rare.

"Send the message!"

Facing the prince's flattery, Cui Han's face remained calm, even a little contemptuous, and he looked down on these disabled eunuchs at all.

Since Cui Han didn't deliberately hide his contempt, he was seen by the prince, so it's not surprising. Cui Han is this kind of person. Tian looks like the number one in the world, and his eyes have never looked at other people.

Of course, in front of Jiang Huadong and Jiang Bai, he still looked straight ahead.

"Yes, yes, the villain will report immediately!" The prince nodded and bowed in response, then turned and walked back to the imperial platform.

"Let him in!"

Before the prince could report, Jiang Huadong said calmly.

Although his eyes are not working well, his ears are still quite good. He heard the conversation between the eunuch and Cui Han just now, and knew that it was Cui Han who asked to see him.

"Obey!" Wang Gonggong hurriedly responded.

Not long after, the proud Cui Han stepped into the Library Pavilion, and before Cui Han could pay his respects, Jiang Huadong squeezed out a smile and said: "It's late at night, Aiqing doesn't have a good rest, why is she in such a hurry to see me? Is there something urgent?"

Cui Han raised his hand with a heavy expression and said: "Your Majesty, Xishui Pass and Tankou Pass have fallen!"

"What did you say!"

Jiang Huadong was startled suddenly, his eyes widened, his face showed disbelief, and his expression was even a little dull.

Cui Han didn't say it a second time, he didn't want to continue to irritate Jiang Huadong, otherwise, with Jiang Huadong's strength, news of His Majesty's death would soon be heard.

"How did this happen, how did this happen!" Jiang Huadong muttered to himself, then thought of his own army, and asked again and again: "Dajun, yes, where is my army? How is my army?"

PS: "To be honest, the ending of this book has already been thought out. The question now is whether to write the story of the next generation of the Great Qin Dynasty. If you want to read it, the author will continue the story of the second generation of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

Chapter 929 Great Qi Emperor Jiang Huadong dies!

Cui Han couldn't help but fell silent. He didn't want to explain this in such detail. Without it, it would be too miserable. He was afraid that Jiang Huadong wouldn't be able to accept it, but seeing Jiang Huadong's strength, it was impossible to hide this matter from him. He always knew of.

"The Qin Army launched the Battle of Xishui and the Battle of Tankou at the same time on May [-]. In the Battle of Xishui, [-] of our troops were wiped out and [-] were captured. Only [-] deserters escaped from the front of the Qin Army and fled back; In the Battle of Guan, our army was wiped out, and the number of casualties and captured numbers is temporarily unknown!"

Cui Han honestly told Jiang Huadong the result of the battle, but he didn't say that the two barriers were not held for a long time, otherwise, it would undoubtedly make the two bad news worse, and Jiang Huadong might die suddenly on the spot.

However, Cui Han overestimated Jiang Huadong's ability to bear it. After learning that the two frontlines had suffered heavy casualties, Jiang Huadong's throat was blocked and he couldn't breathe. But the luster in the eyes is gone, and the pupils are collapsing!

"His Majesty!"

Cui Han and Wang Gonggong exclaimed in unison, and hurried to Jiang Huadong's side.

Cui Han reached out to touch Jiang Huadong's neck to check his pulse. After touching for a while, Cui Han opened his mouth slightly, knelt down on his knees with a plop, and then bowed his head in silence.

Seeing this, the prince also stretched out his hand to touch it.

"what!"

When he felt the pulse, Wang Gonggong took a few steps back in fright, and then knelt down on the ground like Cui Han.

Great Qi Emperor Jiang Huadong has passed away!

"His Majesty is dead!"

"His Majesty is dead!"

A series of shrill shouts resounded throughout the palace. For a moment, the palace was lit up and down, and all the imperial guards, eunuchs, maids, and concubines in the palace got up and ran to the library. The quiet palace instantly became lively.

When more and more people learned of Jiang Huadong's death, there was a burst of wailing from the entire palace.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor of Linzi hung filial piety in front of every house, and everyone wore sackcloth and filial piety.

The emperor passed away, and the great-grandson of the emperor who inherited the throne has not returned. As the prime minister, Cui Han should take over the country on his behalf. country.

Faced with this situation, Cui Han naturally refused to accept it, but in order to protect the overall situation, he made a compromise for the first time in his life.

After Cui Han compromised, those ministers did not dare to go too far, and began to cooperate with Cui Han. When Cui Han mentioned it, the Qi court issued imperial orders to Meiyueguan Daying Camp and Xianning Guan Daying Camp, ordering Meiyueguan Daying Camp ten Wan Dajun went north to help Yumen County and resist the Ningta Army who entered the pass.

The [-] troops of the Xianning Pass camp were sad and rushed to help the Yong'an Army and resist the Qin Army from the South Pass entering the pass.

Meiyue Pass and Xianning Pass are both Yueqi Passes, each with [-] elite soldiers. Some people may ask why so many troops were stationed on the border of Yueqi when the Moon Dynasty was so weak. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses, what is the reason for this?

This reason is very complicated, involving the internal struggle of the Qi Dynasty, and it is difficult to explain clearly in a short time.

The Qi court not only sent orders to Meiyue Pass and Xianning Pass, but also to Lanfengkou Camp and Guifengkou Camp, ordering all the troops at the two passes to immediately return to Linzi to stand by.

Lanfengkou and Guifengkou are both Qizhongshan Passes, each with [-] soldiers. Maybe someone asked again, to defend a Zhongshan country, it takes two passes with [-] troops?

Of course, the Qi Dynasty was not used to defend against Zhongshan, but to defend against Han and Zhao, preventing the two countries from using Zhongshan to attack Qi, so they stationed troops at the two major passes of Qi and Zhongshan for a long time.

Before the Qin army attacked Qi, Daqi had 60 regular troops, including 15 at Tankou Pass, [-] at Xishui Pass, [-] at Meiyue Pass, [-] at Xianning Pass, [-] each at Lanfeng Pass and Guifeng Pass , One hundred thousand in the capital camp!

Although Daqi has 60 troops, the army lacks training and is not very effective in combat. But even so, they are elite soldiers in the eyes of other countries, because the standards of elite soldiers in the eyes of other countries are very low. , even elite soldiers.

If the Zhao Dynasty is as rich as Daqi, let alone 50 elite soldiers, 100 million can be squeezed out, and the fighting power will be higher than that of the Qi army. Unfortunately, although the Zhao Dynasty is not poor, it is not rich either. Financial revenue can be used up every year.

Speaking of this matter, the Great Zhao Dynasty deserved it. If the Zhao Dynasty hadn’t conquered Han and Yan at the beginning, and hadn’t participated in Qin’s conquest of Jin, the current Zhao Dynasty’s national power must be very strong. You must know that in the battle between Han, Yan and Zhao, Zhao’s army lost More than 40 elite soldiers, in the first battle of Qin, Jin and Zhao, the [-] army was almost wiped out, and many fierce generals were recruited back and forth.

If these strengths are not lost, the Zhao Dynasty must be a super-first-class power with millions of armors. It needs money, labor, labor, and soldiers. If there is no Qin Dynasty, it is afraid that it will replace the Wei Dynasty and become the overlord of Kyushu. , is the Zhao Dynasty!

But there is no if in the world!

Ten days in a flash!

The 18th year of Shengqin, May 25th!

Great Zhao Dynasty, Beichang County, Beichang City!

Beichang City is very close to Changmen, only four hundred miles away. Beichang City is the county town of Beichang County, with a population of [-], and there are ten thousand households in the city. As a county town, Beichang is three feet high. There are moats on all sides, and there are five thousand standing guards.

At this time, outside the moat at the north gate of Beichang City, there were a series of hideous giant artillery pieces. There were about [-] giant artillery pieces, each of which was operated by fifty black armored soldiers. There are seven rows, the banner covers a wide area, and the entire North City Gate is within the artillery range.

This is the artillery position of the Qin army. Behind the artillery position, 35 Qin troops are lined up neatly. Every soldier is looking at the high wall in front of him. This is their goal. Beichang must be taken today and stationed in Beichang !

Every soldier is very much looking forward to the scene of bombarding Beichang. It was a bit unsatisfactory when bombarding Changmen. After trekking through mountains and rivers for three days, they finally arrived outside Beichang City.

As for why the [-]-mile journey took [-] days, it was naturally the artillery that slowed it down. In addition, the roads in Zhao's territory were not as wide and flat as those in Qin's territory. It was raining and the road was slippery, so the army had to rest in place for half a day.

At the forefront of the 35 Qin army's main force array, the generals of the town army, Luo Xing and Alukgo, stood proudly on their horses, staring at the north gate of Beichang City.

PS: "Brothers, give me a full book sprint towards unification!!"

Chapter 930 Kong Shuzheng!

General Gu Yuan Alukege looked at the north city wall for a while, then looked back at Luo Xing, and said in a respectful tone: "General, order to fire!"

Some time ago, Luo Xing cooperated to attack Changmen. Luo Xing showed a strong strategy and tactics. He spread out the left and right wings, closed and outflanked, attacked from front to back, left and right, and divided his troops to chase and kill. He just didn't let go of a Zhao army. Luo Xing's deputy general is also willing to listen to his orders.

"No hurry!" Luo Xing said calmly, his eyes never moved away from the north city wall, and there was a pensive look on his brows, he didn't know what he was thinking, as if he was thinking about the way to win.

After hearing the reply, Alukgo stopped talking and listened to Luo Xing's arrangement wholeheartedly.

"Ai Qun!" Luo Xing called softly.

Ai Qun, the seventh-rank Pingdong general standing behind him on a horse, responded immediately: "The last general is here!"

"You go to the front yourself, let Beichang County Sheriff come out to speak, let him surrender!" Luo Xing ordered with his back to Ai Qun.

"Obey!" Ai Qun raised his hands in salute, then rushed out of the queue on his horse, passed through the artillery positions waiting in full swing, and came to the edge of the moat, turned his horse's head, turned sideways towards the north wall and shouted loudly: "I will It is Ai Qun, General of Pingdong, the Seventh Rank of the Great Qin Zheng, who was ordered by the General of the Zhenjun to invite the governor of Beichang County to come out to meet him, and he will have an important matter to discuss with the governor of the county!"

On the tower of the north city wall, [-] officers and soldiers of the garrison are trembling. There are only [-] officers and soldiers of the standing army in the city, [-] in the north tower, and [-] in each of the other three major towers. In comparison, it's a drop in the bucket.

On the gate tower of the city gate, an old man with frost on his temples stood on the edge of the protective wall. He was wearing a silver official uniform and a formal black gauze official hat. Three out of sixty this year, it is the year of sixtieth.

"This old man is Kong Shuzheng, the governor of Beichang County. General, what do you have to say to this old man?" Kong Shu's face was as calm as water, and his tone was not the slightest bit turbulent. Word.
