"Your Majesty, the 300,000 Han army is less than 300 miles away from Peshawar, please send an edict to move the capital."
Just when Su Lie flooded Moluo City, annihilated Wu Zixu's 80,000 defenders, and advanced with Wu Qi towards Peshawar, Prime Minister Li Si, under the begging of hundreds of civil and military officials, took everyone to the White Jade Palace to meet Yingzheng and ask to move the capital.
"Even if the city of tomorrow is broken, what then" Ying Zheng sat on the imperial chair melancholy, his eyes were full of unwillingness and nostalgia, "At least I have been on the emperor's throne for two months, and that is enough" Li Si bowed down and advised: "Your Majesty, you can't break the jar, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood."
Although the two generals Pang Japu and Wu Yuan were martyred, and although the prince of Fusu was captured, there are still millions of our people in Kushan, and there are many hot-blooded people among them, as long as His Majesty keeps himself, he will rise to the top and shout, and he will inevitably respond in all directions, make a comeback, and the outcome is unknown."
Ying Zheng suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha Li Si, Li Si, are you really confused or fake?"
"Please forgive Weichen for being ignorant, I don't know how to interpret His Majesty's words" Li Sichang shook his head to the ground, his face dazed.
Ying Zheng slowly got up, walked down the steps, and paced back and forth in front of more than a dozen henchmen: "Li Si, do you believe what you say, maybe there are many hot-blooded people among the millions of Guishan people, but how many people recognize my orthodox position I am afraid that when the time comes, I will not wait for the righteous man of King Qin, but will wait for the enemy who has fallen into the well, so I might as well continue to defend Peshawar, even if I die, it will look more heroic, and I will not become a laughing stock."
After listening to Ying Zheng's words, Li Si was speechless, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.
Ying Zheng put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth on the main hall with a sad face: "Besides, if you go six or seven hundred miles north from Peshawar, you will enter the territory of the Rest Empire, where can I flee to Ridiculous Xiang Yu and Alexander are still ignorant when they are dying, don't you hear the allusion of the death of our lips and teeth, it is really in vain that we have worked hard?"
"Both of them are heroes for a while, and they should understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, but Alexander and Xiang Yu have deep grievances, and they may both have the mentality of going outside and securing inside, for fear that they will be attacked by the other side after sending troops, so they can't fight" Li Si made a helpless analysis, planning things are in the sky, and he is powerless.
Ying Zheng suddenly let out a wry smile: "I have been thinking about asking for reinforcements for the past few days, maybe Sai Weng lost his horse and knew whether it was a blessing, this Yu and Alexander fought so fiercely, I don't think I am a trustworthy person."
Perhaps they agreed to send troops to the rescue, firstly to confuse each other, and secondly, to intend to defeat our Great Qin in the name of reinforcements.
Even if these two reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid it will be a situation that will lead wolves into the room."
Zhou Panlong looked unwilling, stroked his sword and asked, "According to Your Majesty's intentions, the demise of our Great Qin is inevitable."
Ying Zheng's face showed a painful expression: "It seems that it is inevitable, with the successive deaths of Pang Chapu and Wu Yuan, and the capture of Fusu, our Great Qin has lost another 250,000 soldiers and horses, and there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses left that I can mobilize now, how to fight against Liu Wei's 300,000 tiger and wolf army, not to mention Caesar's 70,000 or 80,000 Peacock Army, Great Qin is over."
"Alas, at the beginning, our Kushan Empire had 600,000 heroes, as well as Wang Qian, Meng Tian, Wang Ben, Wu Yuan and other generals, as well as Pei Yuanqing, Pei Xingyan, Ruan Weng Zhong, Pang Chapu and other fierce generals, I didn't expect that now we have fallen into such a predicament" Thinking of the strong and prosperous past, Zhou Panlong was heartbroken and lamented repeatedly.
Hearing Caesar's name, Li Si's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he high-fived: "Oh, how did I forget him?"
Yingzheng and everyone cast puzzled eyes: "Who did the prime minister say?"
"Caesar, Monarch of the Mauryan Kingdom" Li Si straightened his body and replied with his head held high, which was completely different from the dejected one just now, as if he had changed people.
After listening to Li Si's words, Yingzheng was like an initiation, and immediately guessed Li Si's intentions: "The prime minister means to plot against Caesar and unite against the Han army."
This time it was Zhou Panlong's turn to smile bitterly: "Prime Minister don't joke, the hatred between the Peacock and us can be said to be incompatible, deeper than the hatred between the descendants of the Six Kingdoms and the Great Qin Empire, how could Caesar betray his allies and help us" "At this time and at that time," Li Si stroked his beard, and a pair of eyes that were not too big became bright.
"I want to hear about it" Zhou Panlong asked for advice, and with his own IQ, he really couldn't guess Li Si's thoughts, so he went to ask the enemy for help, isn't this seeking skin with the tiger Li Si looked confident: "There is a way to let others snore on the side of the couch, Liu Bian's ambition is to unify the whole world, which has never pacified the Central Plains, Liu Biao sent troops to the east and west to fight, attacking our Guishuang, attacking our Daqin, and attacking the Wa Kingdom.
In this case, how could Liu Wei allow the existence of a gradually rising Peacock Kingdom" Zhou Panlong suddenly had an epiphany: "Listening to Prime Minister Li Cheng say this, it seems that this is really the case, if it were not for the invasion of the Han army, with the national strength of our Great Qin, I am afraid that Caesar would have been destroyed long ago."
There is no reason for the Han people to share the country with Caesar for no reason, and it was only to deal with our Great Qin before, and they were driven by interests to join the same stream.
If our Great Qin dies, these two forces will definitely be incompatible."
Li Si stroked his beard and smiled: "This is called the cunning rabbit and the dead lackey cooking, and the birds are good and the bow is hidden."
Caesar was also a smart man, I don't think I don't understand this truth, and from another point of view, there is also a bit of a bitter taste between us and Caesar.
Your Majesty can send a man who can speak well to Caesar, explain the stakes, and let Caesar attack the Han army and attack our army on both sides. ” Ying Zheng had no way out, so he immediately sent a messenger who could speak well, carried a lot of money, and even used the Great Seal of the Kushan Empire as a token, and quickly went to Mingara to lobby Caesar.
In the early morning of the next day, the envoy came back happily to report to Yingzheng and Li Si: "Your Majesty, after seeing Caesar, Weichen made it clear what was at stake, and finally made Caesar nod and agree, and said that he would treat Fusu Gongzi well, please rest assured that Your Majesty and Prime Minister will be relieved." ” Li Si was more cautious and asked, "When Caesar plans to attack the Han army, have you been informed of the plan?"
The messenger replied, "If you return to the prime minister, Caesar's army has marched more than 300 miles from Peshawar, and it is expected to arrive at the foot of Peshawar by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest."
At that time, the 80,000 Peacock Army and the 300,000 Han Army will definitely set up a company camp and besiege Peshawar.
Caesar planned to invite Wu Qi to the banquet, slash and kill at the banquet, and set fire to the Han army's camp, hoping that our army would see the Han army's wallgate on fire in the city, so he would kill the city and attack inside and outside, which would definitely inflict heavy damage on the Han army."
Ying Zheng clapped his hands and applauded: "If Caesar is true and acts according to the plan, maybe our Great Qin will be able to come back to life and pass on my orders, so that the soldiers can take care of their spirits and be ready to go out of the city to fight at any time." ” Two days later, Wu Qi and Su Lie successively led their troops to the city of Peshawar, and a total of 300,000 troops set up a company camp and surrounded Peshawar.
After setting up the camp, Wu Qi sent people to invite Su Lie and his generals to his tent to discuss countermeasures.
The candles in the huge tent were brilliant, the coach Wu Qi sat high in the middle, the deputy marshal Su Lie sat next to him, and the strategists such as Fu Zhu and Kuai Yue, Jiang Song, Huang Feihu, Lu Xiangsheng, He Yuanqing, Zhang He, Yang Qilang, Shang Shifu, Zhang Han, Yang Zhi and other generals were on both sides.
After the generals arrived, Wu Qi instructed his own soldiers: "All the generals summoned by this governor have arrived, without my orders, no one else is allowed to approach the tent, if anyone dares to defy the law, I will be killed on the spot."
Seeing Wu Qi so solemn, the generals knew that there must be important matters to discuss, so they straightened up one by one and listened to Wu Qi's words.
Wu Qi sat upright, glanced at the generals, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I will summon you here not for anything else, but to discuss how to get rid of Caesar and his peacock army."
"Caesar" All the generals were stunned when they heard this, and their eyes were full of doubts, isn't our opponent Yingzheng, why did he target the allies again Wu Qi stretched out his hand and stroked the beard under his chin, and laughed: "You don't have to wonder, you heard me right, what I said was dealing with Caesar."
The side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, the whole Guishan was beaten down by our Han Iron Cavalry, why should we give him half of Caesar, let him sit and enjoy it" He Yuanqing, Yang Qilang, Jiang Song and others waved their fists in agreement: "What the Governor said is that the goal of our Han is to sweep the whole world, how can we destroy a Guishan and cultivate a Peacock Kingdom Governor directly under the order, we will definitely take your head as a horse."
Fu Zhu frowned and made his own suggestion: "What the Governor said is very reasonable, but Caesar is an ally after all, and it is not trivial to get rid of him.
Therefore, the lower official suggested that the governor should first write a letter to ask for His Majesty's advice, and wait for His Majesty's permission before taking action, so as to prevent anyone from making a proverbial speech to His Majesty and framing the Governor."
Wu Qi directly waved his hand and refused: "The frustrated prince is not the same as this, and he will not accept the foreign monarch's order, not to mention that our location is six or seven thousand miles away from the capital, even if we use flying pigeons to pass the book, it will take ten days and a half months to go back and forth, and the opportunity has long been missed."
You will act according to my orders, and if Your Majesty condemns you, I will bear it with all my might."
After a pause, Wu Qi laughed loudly: "Anyway, in the eyes of Confucianism, I, Wu Qi, am already a ruthless butcher, and if I carry a few black pots, why am I afraid to rule the world for the Han Dynasty, I, Wu Qi, would rather be infamous for all generations, as long as the world returns to the Han, I Wu Qi will have no regrets when he dies." t1706231537:
