Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

With the no-war card hanging high on the frontline battlefield, the Qin State and the Zhao Wei coalition forces suddenly entered a truce period.

This scene made many eyes and ears sent to the front line from other countries puzzled.

After a brief investigation, soon, the news that Qin had secretly reached a deal with Li Mu spread to the courts of Yan, Qi, and Chu.

After hearing the news, some were happy and some were worried.

Those who are happy are, for example: Wei, Yan, and Chu.

The former had put too much pressure on their own army because of the Qin army, and now the sudden ceasefire just gave them a chance to breathe.

The latter was because the truce between the two sides this time bought more support time for both sides.

To know.

One of the things that Prince Dan of Chu and Yan were most worried about was that before support from both sides arrived, the Zhao and Wei coalition forces on the front line knelt down first.

After all, the battle reports coming back from the rear from time to time during this period made it really difficult not to worry about this.

Now that the frontline suddenly ceased fighting, although they didn't know why the always 'tyrannical' Qin Congress made such a decision, this was undoubtedly good news for them.

But, is reality really that simple?

of course not.

The real situation is that from the moment Qin decided to cease the war, King Yan, who was originally hesitant to send troops to support the Zhao Wei coalition, suddenly became even more hesitant.

King Yan is very timid.

From the beginning, he was not very inclined to be an enemy of the Qin State, because the current strength of the Qin State is too strong.

However, due to being an ally, King Yan decided to send troops to support Zhao and Wei under the persuasion of Prince Dan. Unexpectedly, just when King Yan was about to make a decision, Qin and Zhao and Wei suddenly entered a truce.

And it was because both sides wanted to fight the wolves together and maintain the righteousness of the nation.

This time.

King Yan did not want to send troops to support Zhao and Wei.

After all, if the Yan State sends troops to support Zhao and Wei when the Qin State sends troops to resist the wolves, it will inevitably be suspected of a 'sneak attack'.

It would be easy to say that the battle was won in the end, but if Zhao and Wei were defeated by the Qin army in the end with the support of the Yan State, then the Yan State's move to support the front line would be a real loss of face. Lost it again.

Prince Dan of Yan is undoubtedly a very talented person. Although his political methods are somewhat inferior, overall, Prince Dan of Yan can be regarded as a qualified heir.

To put it bluntly, if the current position of King Yan is Prince Dan of Yan, then the threat that Yan State brings to Qin State will be at least much greater than the trouble brought by the current King of Yan Xi.

It's a pity that with such a group of pig opponents behind him, no matter how capable Yan Taizi Dan is, it will be difficult to turn the tide.

What face and lizi?

In the final analysis, these were just excuses made by King Yan to comfort himself. In fact, the real reason why he hesitated was that he was afraid that Qin would be angry with him.

Prince Yan naturally could see this, but he had no way to change it.

In comparison.

The situation in Chu State is slightly better.

The Chu State has a history of 800 years and has a long heritage. However, with the support of King Chu Kaolie more than 30 years ago, Chun Shenjun, one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, failed to organize the five countries to jointly attack Qin. The State of Chu suffered violent retaliation from the State of Qin, and its national power was temporarily weakened.

Later, with the death of King Kaolie of Chu, Lord Chun Shen was also murdered, and the state of Chu was even more devastated.

However, although the royal power of Chu State has weakened, it still retains a lot of military strength. The most famous among them is the Xiang family of Chu State.

Xiang Yan is the current leader of the Xiang clan.

Although he is not among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, his ability to lead troops is basically second only to this level.

With the Xiang family in charge, Chu State's military strength basically has no possibility of thunderstorms in a short period of time, so when Chu State learned that the front line of the battle between Qin State and the Zhao Wei coalition forces was temporarily suspended.

make a prompt decision.

Decisively increased the number of troops supporting Zhao and Wei.

But it is a pity that the Qin State has been strictly guarding the Chu State from the beginning, with a hundred thousand troops blocking the way across the river. Even if the Chu State increased its troops, there was basically no breakthrough in a short period of time in front of the Qin Army who had war weapons such as [cement]. possible.

However, the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from Yan and Chu was not the biggest trouble that Zhao and Wei encountered.

The biggest threat to the Zhao and Wei coalition forces in this battle is that even Wei, as an ally, could not have imagined that they were about to encounter a wave of backstabbing from within the Zhao court.

At this time, the Zhao Kingdom Hall was bustling with activity.

It is estimated that even Li Mu himself could not have imagined that when the news that he and the Qin State temporarily 'joined forces' to resist the wolf tribe came to his court, the first thing that the officials above the Zhao State's court thought was not to save the wolf tribe.

But... Li Mu betrayed Zhao.

This is the advice of a minister in the Zhao court.

This advice sounds ridiculous, but the current King of Zhao actually accepted the advice of this minister and issued an edict to punish Li Mu when he returns from resisting the wolves. .

Is the current King of Zhao really that stupid?

The reality is that he is really that stupid.

Of course.

Although Zhao Wangqian said he was stupid, he was not going to punish Li Mu directly just based on one person's words.

The real situation is that the reason why the contemporary King of Zhao so decisively accepted the minister's advice was mainly to defeat Li Mu by the way.

Moreover, the minister ‘Guo Kai’ who made the suggestion was originally arranged by Zhao Wangqian himself.

At least in Zhao Wangqian's view, Guo Kai's suggestion was indeed something they had discussed in secret.

Zhao Wangqian never thought that he would really remove Li Mu from his official position or put him on a serious charge. After all, Zhao still needed Li Mu to resist the wolves on the border and Li Mu on the front line to resist the powerful Qin.

However, it is certain to take this opportunity to suppress Li Mu's power.

Therefore, when questioning Li Mu this time, Zhao Wangqian had planned from the beginning that the thunder would be loud and the raindrops would be light. It must be said that Zhao Wangqian, who had been mediocre all his life, had a rare little cleverness at the last moment of his life.

But although King Zhao's idea is good, the development of some things in this world is often completely beyond people's expectations.

Because not long after he announced his edict, rumors suddenly spread throughout the Zhao capital HD that Lord Wu'an 'Li Mu' had betrayed Zhao.

Zhao Wangqian, who was having fun in his harem at this time, was overjoyed when he heard the news, feeling that his 'plan' had been successful.

However, some Zhao court officials vaguely sensed something was wrong.

In fact, these old foxes who have been hanging around in the court for an unknown amount of time all know very well about the 'Little Jiujiu' in Zhao Wangqian's mind. However, because Zhao Wangqian's plan this time is similar to what they have in mind, they did not stop it before. .

But now, the plan of 'beating Li Mu' seems to be somewhat beyond their control.
