Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 367 Zhao Guo has not been defeated yet!

at the same time.

Daijun, in the palace bedroom.

At this moment, King Zhao was lying on the bed with a pale face and a weak body.

Just a few days ago, they received news that the cities of Langmeng and Julu had been breached.

Then King Zhao immediately ordered to recruit all the people in Zhao who could fight to kill the enemy, and sent them all to the cities closest to Langmeng and Julu to delay the Qin army's offensive, waiting for General Lian Po to attack After repelling the Qin army in Shicheng, go to repel the Qin army in these two places.

But who knew that the Qin army in Shicheng could not be repulsed for a long time, and in the end, Julu and Langmeng were used to delay the Qin army's offensive and all the Zhao people were killed.

After learning the news, King Zhao was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and fainted in the main hall.

In the end, the Qin army did not go directly to Daijun, but went to capture other Zhao cities along the way. This gave them a chance to breathe!

Below him stood many ministers, all looking at King Zhao with extremely worried expressions at this moment.

"Your Majesty, your body is the most important thing!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Qin army has not come directly to our Dai County yet, but the Qin people's wolf ambitions not only seize many cities of our Zhao Kingdom, but also try to destroy our Zhao Kingdom. When General Lian Po repels the Qin army in Shicheng Later, with the help of reinforcements from Wei and South Korea, these Qin troops will definitely come back!"

"That's right. There is also the Chu State. As long as the Chu State sends troops to attack the Qin State, even if these Qin troops cannot be destroyed, they will return to the country to rescue them. The danger of our Zhao State will be easily resolved!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the war. General Lian Po is guarding Shicheng. I believe we will be able to repel the Qin army soon."

"But I heard that the general who attacked Shicheng this time was Yingjun, who was famous for his bravery in the three armies of Qin some time ago."

"I have also heard that this person, with his brute force alone, is not as skilled in marching and fighting as General Lian Po, not to mention General Zhao Zong's assistance. Even if he failed to repel the Qin army in the past few days, I believe he will never go out again." News of the Qin army’s defeat will come in two days!”

"..."

Many ministers spoke out one after another.

But even though they were talking, looking at their slightly furrowed brows and their flickering eyes, it was obvious that they were also worried about the war ahead.

In the past, when General Lian Po went into battle, he would receive good news from the front within three days.

But this time, after several days, there was still no news. Even the cities in Julu and Langmeng were breached.

The three cities of Langmeng, Shicheng and Julu are the borders of Zhao State and are located on a straight line.

Shicheng is located in the middle of these three cities, so the largest number of Zhao soldiers remain in Shicheng, in order to quickly assist the other two cities.

But now, not only Langmeng and Julu were conquered by the Qin army, they even did not hesitate to recruit people to resist the Qin army's offensive, buying Lian Po enough time to support him.

However, who would have thought that Lian Po still did not send troops to rescue.

This has proved that either General Lianpo and the Qin army were locked in a bitter battle; or even Shicheng was defeated by the Qin army...

Many ministers standing below were speaking to comfort the king, but they were also comforting themselves!

King Zhao's face was pale, and there was a wry smile in his expression. As a king, how could he not see through the minds of these ministers? Naturally, he also knew that these ministers were trying to comfort him with kind words, but he knew it very well in his heart.

Now there has been no news from Shicheng. Under such circumstances, no troops have been sent to assist. Shicheng must also be in danger and has no time to care.

At this moment, he could only place his last hope on the reinforcements from Wei and South Korea.

As long as the reinforcements from these two countries can arrive in time, there will still be hope for Zhao!

Just as King Zhao and many ministers were thinking about it, a waiter staggered in from outside the palace with a panicked expression on his face, shouting loudly:
"Oh no……"

"Your Majesty... no... it's not good!"

Hearing the bad voice from the waiter, everyone's heart suddenly rose to their throats, and everyone looked at him nervously.

The waiter looked at King Zhao lying on the bed, hurriedly ran forward, knelt on the ground, and said with a look of great panic: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"

"Stone...Stone...Stone City was...attacked by the Qin Army!"

"What!" "Even Shicheng was conquered by the Qin army?"

"This, this, what should I do!"

In an instant, countless ministers were horrified, their hearts trembling, and their faces instantly turned pale.

Finished!

It's all over!
Langmeng and Julu were breached by the Qin army, and now even the last line of defense, Shicheng, was breached by the Qin army!

It's over, Zhao Guo is over!
Originally, there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, but now the sudden bad news instantly wiped out the last thoughts in their hearts!
Even though King Zhao on the bed already knew that Shi Cheng was in danger, when he actually heard the news of the destruction of the city, he still had a look of panic on his face, his heart was cold, his eyes were so angry that he almost fainted again.

The guard standing by the side immediately stepped forward to support King Zhao and patted him on the back, which made him breathe easier.

After regaining consciousness, King Zhao sat on the bed blankly, looking at the waiter kneeling in front of him with empty eyes and asked: "Where is Lian Po?"

Hearing this, many ministers around him suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. They immediately raised their heads and looked at the waiters: "Quick, tell me quickly, where are the others, General?"

Although Shicheng was captured, as long as General Lian Po was still there, he could quickly return to Daijun and continue to lead the soldiers in Daijun and the surrounding people to resist the Qin army.

It can also buy them some time!
When the waiter saw King Zhao asking about it, he swallowed his saliva suddenly and said tremblingly: "According to the report from the guards who returned from Shicheng Tao."

"Come on, General, his whereabouts are unknown!"

"Ten...nine times out of ten...already..."

"enough!"

King Zhao shouted angrily and interrupted the waiter. He already knew the whereabouts of Lian Po.

The waiter was so frightened by this roar that he immediately shut his mouth and lay on the ground, trembling all over.

King Zhao's eyes were full of despair and unwillingness, and he took a deep breath. He did not expect that Zhao's hundreds of years of foundation would be lost in his hands.

After hearing the news, many ministers next to them were not much better. They were in a panic and didn't know what to do!
"Stone City was captured and General Lian Po died in battle. What should we do?"

"It's over, it's completely over now, even the general died in the battle, and even the stone city was conquered!"

"There are not many Zhao soldiers in the city now. If the Qin army comes straight towards Daijun, how can we, Zhao, stop it?"

"Oh my god! Is Zhao really going to die this time?"

……

Many ministers were so panicked that they didn't know what to do.

However, some ministers took advantage of being out of everyone's sight and began to retreat secretly, seeming to be preparing to quietly leave the palace and escape for their lives.

And just when everyone was at a loss, a cold shout rang out from the crowd.

"What's the use of panicking?"

"Look at your ugly behavior, you are really unworthy of being our minister of Zhao!"

After the words fell, everyone turned their heads and looked over. The person who said these words was none other than the Prime Minister of Zhao State, Guo Kai!

Guo Kai looked at the crowd with disdain, and then slowly walked out of the crowd.

Many ministers seemed to have found a backbone, and a look of anticipation suddenly appeared on their faces. They stared at Guo Kai closely, as if waiting for him to make suggestions!

Prime Minister Guo Kai walked to King Zhao's bed, bowed his hands, looked at King Zhao and reminded:
"Your Majesty, now the three lines of defense at the border of Zhao State have been breached by the Qin army, but our Zhao State still survives and the country is not destroyed!"

"There are still countless people around my capital, Daijun, as well as many soldiers guarding the city, and there are even reinforcements from Wei, Han, and Chu."

"In this battle, our country, Zhao, has not yet been defeated!"
