Chapter 577 Qin Emperor Invites Bai Qi

Chapter 578: Emperor Qin invites Bai Qi

Realizing that Zhao Jun was defeated and unable to contend with Deng Jun, and that Qin State in Guanzhong was likely to intervene in the Central Plains War, Yue Fei immediately sent an envoy back to Wancheng to ask Deng Sheng to set the tone, and hoped to get Greater support to keep fighting.

In the 28th year of Qianyuan, on May 29, Deng Sheng received the envoy sent by Yue Fei in Jingtai Hall. After learning about the envoy's intention, Deng Sheng quickly summoned important officials to Jingtai Hall to discuss the next step.

"Zhuqing, if there is no accident in the Central Plains victory, all the land in the Central Plains should be included in our Great Deng's territory, but Yue Qing realizes that Zhao Guo will not give up the Central Plains land easily, so he might put all his eggs in one basket and ask Qin Guo to intervene in the Central Plains In the battle between the two countries, we will fight against my great Deng, Yue Qing hopes that the court can set a tone, what do you think?" Deng Sheng asked the crowd.

When everyone heard the words, there was silence for a while, and then Cui Hao came out and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, I think that General Yue's conjecture is very likely to appear. Zhao Guo can compete with my Great Deng, all thanks to the prosperity of Hebei and Central Plains. Years of wars have severely damaged the vitality of the Central Plains, but as a traditionally rich place, it holds a very important position in the State of Zhao. If the Central Plains is gone, the State of Zhao will only be beaten passively in the future, and the State of Qin will not be willing to see me grow up Deng Quan is based in the Central Plains, even if there is no invitation from Zhao Guo, I believe Qin Guo will come without invitation."

"That's right!" Zhang Bin also came out and said: "It seems that the three kingdoms of Deng, Zhao, and Qin are standing at the same time, but the strength of Qin has already declined, and only one Zhao is supporting it alone. If Zhao loses the Central Plains, the strength will be determined." It will shrink greatly, even worse than Qin, and after I get the Central Plains, as long as I work hard for a few years, my strength will definitely go further. At that time, even if Qin and Zhao join forces, there is nothing to fear. Therefore, Qin Guo will definitely intervene in the battle of the Central Plains, even if we can't beat my Great Deng back, it is bound to curb my Great Deng's offensive momentum, so for the Central Plains, we must take action."

"Then what should I do? What about increasing troops?" Deng Sheng asked, since Qin's entry into the game is a foregone conclusion, Deng Sheng of the Central Plains will not let go. After all, after planning for so long, he finally sees the hope of taking the Central Plains , Deng Sheng will not give up halfway, even if he is fighting Qin and Zhao alone, Deng Sheng will not hesitate.

"Increasing troops is certain." Wang Meng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out and said, "It's not about increasing troops in the Central Plains. Now, 40 elites from our Great Deng are gathered in the Central Plains. After several defeats, Zhao Jun's current strength is only 30. Up and down, coupled with the low morale of the Zhao army, it will definitely not be an opponent of our army, and Qin has already been seriously injured, even if it sends troops, it will not exceed 10. With the strength of the Central Plains, it is enough to deal with it. If Qin sends troops, Guanzhong's defenses will be very weak. Your Majesty can order Hanzhong Tianwuwei and Wuguan Tianningwei to send troops to Guanzhong. As long as they can successfully break through the Qin army's defense line, they will be able to force the Qin army to retreat from the Central Plains. The dilemma in the Central Plains can be solved. It can also severely injure the Qin army in Guanzhong, but in this way, the soldiers and horses used by my great Deng have exceeded 50 people, but I don’t know if the warehouse of the Ministry of Finance can support it?”

As soon as Wang Meng said this, everyone's eyes turned to Shangshuling Jiang Wan. Originally, these matters were the responsibility of Hu Weiyong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but Deng Sheng was sitting in Jingtai Palace to deal with the Central Plains. Hu Weiyong was a very Pure civil servants were not selected into the Jingtai Palace, so at this time, they could only look at Hu Weiyong's immediate boss, Jiang Wan.

"Jiang Qing, do you know that the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs may continue to support the Central Plains War?" Deng Sheng asked Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan replied: "Your Majesty, with the treasury's current reserves of money and food, it is really difficult to support a war of more than 50 elites. It's just that my great Deng has some money and food in various places. If we gather all the money and food, when It's all right, but after the Central Plains War, I'm afraid Deng will have a hard life for a year or two."

"Haha!" Deng Sheng smiled when he heard the words, and said: "It's okay, as long as the Qin and Zhao coalition forces are defeated in the Central Plains, Qin and Zhao will no longer be able to compete with my Great Deng in the future, and once the Central Plains enters my Great Deng, relying on the past In addition, Jingxiang, Jiangdong, and Bashu will be able to recover in a short time. Jiang Qing, you immediately order the various places to transport the money and food reserves to Wancheng. The Ministry of Households has unified deployment, and since the Central Plains is in sight, I will try my best to wrestle with Qin Zhao!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" the crowd praised,
While Deng Sheng was setting the tone for the next battle, Qin Huang, who was far away in Chang'an, also received Zhao Guo's envoys and accepted the request to march into the Central Plains. To be honest, even if Zhao Guo didn't send people to Chang'an, Qin Huang will also send troops to the Central Plains. I thought that this time the battle of the Central Plains would be a battle between dragons and tigers. After all, both Deng and Zhao countries had prepared for a year or two before the war, so this war would have to be a three or five. It was only a year ago, but in just half a year, Zhao Guo was defeated like a mountain. Seeing that Zhao Guo was about to withdraw from the Central Plains and handed over the battle of the Central Plains to Deng Guo, Qin Guo could no longer sit still, so When Zhao Guo's envoy came to Chang'an, Qin Huang agreed without even a trace of reserve.

However, although it was agreed to send troops to the Central Plains, it is still uncertain how many troops to send and who will lead the troops to fight against Qin.

After the Battle of Changping Pavilion, the 40 elites that Qin had accumulated after entering Guanzhong had already been lost. Although the kung fu recovered a lot in the next few years, Qin now has only two soldiers. 10,000+, almost back to half the level of the peak period, and in the battle of the Central Plains, the two countries of Deng and Zhao often had 40 million to 50 million soldiers. If Qin sent tens of thousands of people, I am afraid that even a wave It can't be lifted, so while ensuring the safety of the country, it is also necessary to ensure that Qin State is not a soy sauce existence in the Central Plains. Qin State can send up to 10 people.

But the question is, with soldiers and horses, who will lead the soldiers?After Bai Qi was idled, Qin State used several disastrous defeats to prove that Wang Feng, Ying Huai and others were useless. If it was only a small-scale war, they might still be useful, but the current Central Plains Gathering Yue Fei, Li Rubing, Yang Yanzhao and other famous generals in the world, Wang Feng and Ying Huai are not enough.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the one who can lead our Great Qin army out of the Central Plains to compete with Deng Zhao must be Lord Wu An!" Just when everyone was at a loss, Bai Lijin, the doctor of imperial history, recommended Bai Qi.

In fact, everyone knows that Bai Qi is the most suitable candidate, but at this time most people choose to ignore Bai Qi, because Prime Minister Li You, generals Wang Feng, Ying Huai and others are Bai Qi's old enemies. Secondly, Emperor Qin was not able to control Bai Qi, so everyone selectively ignored Bai Qi. However, after thousands of sails were exhausted and the waves washed away the sand, everyone discovered that there was only one Bai Qi who could lead the Qin army to compete with other countries.

"Li Xiang, General Wang, what do you think?" Qin Huang asked Li You and Wang Feng nervously.

At this time, Li You and Wang Feng are very helpless. After all, in the entire court, they are the two who have the most conflicts with Bai Qi, and they are also the people who least want to see Bai Qi come back. Yes, if Wang Feng is allowed to lead the troops to the Central Plains, I am afraid there will be no bones left, so if the two of them prevent Bai Qi from recovering at this time, they will easily be targeted by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. The two of them meant that Qin Huang had already moved his heart.

"Your Majesty, Lord Wu An is indeed the most suitable candidate. The veteran supports Lord Wu An to lead the troops to fight!" Li You and Wang Feng said helplessly after making eye contact.

With the support of Li You and Wang Feng, Qin Huang finally heaved a sigh of relief. Among Qin's five ministers, Li You and Wang Feng were the strongest. If they disagreed, Qin Huang would be very happy. It's hard for Bai Qi to lead the army.

"Since this is the case, I will personally go to Xianyang to ask Lord Wu An to come out of the mountain!" Qin Huang said.

"Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. Monarchs and ministers are different. You only need a piece of edict to summon Lord Wu'an to the court. Why do you need your Majesty to go in person?" Hearing that Emperor Qin wanted to go to Xianyang to invite Bai Qi in person, Li You felt a little nervous. I can't help it, if Bai Qi receives such courtesy, if he wins the battle of the Central Plains, he will not be able to go to heaven.

"Li Xiang's words are wrong!" Baili Jinchulie retorted Li Youdao: "Wu Anjun is the No.1 general in our dynasty, and should be given the highest courtesy, and now that our Great Qin is in danger, His Majesty personally invites Wu Anjun to come out of the mountain. , is also reasonable, maybe it can become a good story."

Baili Jin was not as careful as Li You, he was a very pure person, and he had no conflicts with Bai Qi, so instead of rejecting Qin Huang's invitation to invite Bai Qi in person, he supported him.

"Okay!" Finally, Qin Huang made a final decision: "Mr. Wu An is a meritorious service of our dynasty, and now is the time to employ people. Treating such a great talent, I should give the highest courtesy, and there is no need to discuss this matter again."

"Here!" Li You had no choice but to agree.

Soon, Emperor Qin invited Bai Chen to come. Accompanied by Bai Chen, he left Chang'an City and headed for Bai Qi's hermitage outside Xianyang City.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, Emperor Qin ordered people to stop, and said to Bai Chen: "General Bai, please go up the mountain and report to Lord Wu An. Even if I come to visit, I would like to invite Lord Wu An to see you."

Qin Huang is very sensible and didn't go up the mountain directly. One must know that even his father is not a very face-saving person. If he goes up the mountain by himself, he will probably hate Bai Qi. If Bai Qi refuses to come out of the mountain, it will be a disaster. ?So Emperor Qin asked Bai Chen to go up the mountain to talk to Bai Qi first.

"Here!" Bai Chen responded, then turned his head and walked up the mountain, after about a stick of incense, Bai Chen came down from the mountain, came to Emperor Qin and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu An is on the mountain to welcome His Majesty! "

Qin Huang nodded, then walked up the mountain step by step, before arriving at Bai Qi's residence, Qin Huang found that Bai Qi was waiting for him in front of the door.

"Chen Bai Qi pays homage to Your Majesty!" Bai Qi bowed quickly when he saw Emperor Qin.

Qin Huang didn't expect Bai Qi to be so respectful to him, he was a little flattered immediately, he hurried up to meet Bai Qi, helped Bai Qi up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wu An, don't be too polite, please hurry up!"

After a few people entered the room, Emperor Qin didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I came here today to invite Lord Wu An out of the mountain, presumably Lord Wu An should know about the Deng-Zhao Central Plains battle?"

Bai Qi nodded, this battle has been going on for so long, of course Bai Qi knew about it, and said: "I have heard about this matter, but I don't know how the two countries are fighting now."

"Alas..." Emperor Qin sighed, and said: "Mr. Wu'an doesn't know that Zhao Jun has already been defeated, and the loss of troops is about 10,000+ people. I am afraid that he will not be able to support the situation in the Central Plains."

"I didn't expect Li Rubing to be so helpless, so His Majesty must have thought of marching into the Central Plains when he came here today." Bai Qi said, Qin Huang came to him immediately after the defeat of Zhao Jun, presumably he had the idea of ​​marching into the Central Plains .

Emperor Qin nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Wu An, earlier, Zhao Guo had sent people to Chang'an to invite me, Da Qin, to march into the Central Plains. I have already agreed, and gathered a hundred thousand elites in Chang'an. It's a pity Those who had no commander came to invite Lord Wu An to come out of the mountain. Although there were many generals in the court, there were not many who could be reused, and this time the opponents were Yue Fei, Yang Yanzhao and other famous generals of the Deng Kingdom. I really can't think of any other strategy, but I also ask Lord Wu An to take over this seal of command for the great Qin's country and society."

Bai Qi did not speak, but poured a cup of tea for Bai Qi. Seeing this, Emperor Qin thought that Bai Qi would not come out of the mountain, so he said quickly: "Mr. Wu'an, I know that the former emperor did something wrong, and I am here to represent him. The late emperor apologizes to Lord Wu An, and hopes that Lord Wu An will be merciful!"

Bai Qi heard the words, smiled, and said: "Your Majesty misunderstood, what happened back then, there was indeed something wrong with me, and in addition, I lost troops and lost generals in the battle of Jianshan, the former emperor just dismissed me as a general. I have already shown mercy, and I have no complaints, I am now thinking about how to advance."

"Oh! Lord Wu An is so generous, I am very happy. I wonder what kind of strategy Wu An Lord has for marching?" Qin Huang saw that Bai Qi was so generous, and after learning of his intentions, he immediately thought about marching. When planning a plan, he was very happy, and quickly asked Bai Qi what kind of plan he had.

Bai Qi said: "It's not a clever plan, it's just a trick. Now that Deng Jun is gaining momentum, it's unrealistic to drive Deng Jun out of the Central Plains, and we can't do it. Besides, if We helped Zhao Guo get rid of Deng Jun, presumably Zhao Guo will turn against Da Qin with me, so it is best for Da Qin to curb Deng Jun's offensive and maintain the current situation in the Central Plains."

"Mr. Wu'an is wise. With Mr. Wu'an on the way, I can rest assured. After I return to Chang'an, I will immediately decree to worship Mr. Wu'an as the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition." Emperor Qin said happily.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. There is one thing that is urgent now." Bai Qi said.

"What's the matter?" Qin Huang asked.

Bai Qi said: "Your Majesty, Deng Guo has garrisons in Wuguan and Hanzhong, and these garrisons did not participate in the battle of the Central Plains. If my Great Qin enters the Central Plains, the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong and Wuguan will definitely take the opportunity to invade Guanzhong. Before sending troops, we need to arrange the garrisons in the two places to resist Deng's army."

"What Lord Wu An said is true, but I ignored it." After Bai Qi said this, Qin Huang suddenly woke up like a dream, but he ignored it and said: "When I return to Chang'an, I will arrange it as soon as possible." of."

"It's good for your Majesty to know. The war is urgent. Your Majesty should not stay here for too long. Please return to Chang'an as soon as possible. The minister will arrive soon." Seeing that the matter was almost over, Bai Qi persuaded Qin Huang to return to Chang'an. There are also many political enemies in Chang'an, which requires Qin Huang to return to Chang'an to sit in the town in person to reduce his worries.

"Okay, now that the state affairs are busy, it is really inappropriate for me to leave Chang'an for too long. I will wait for Lord Wu'an quietly in Chang'an." Emperor Qin nodded and said.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
