Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 57 Zulong: Qin State in Danger

"We have a strong army in the Undead Mountain Range! We have three million mercenaries, why do we need you to come and help us? I think you are just here to take advantage of the situation because you heard the rumors!"

Facing Wang Jian's counterattack, Odebiao was also determined that Qin was taking advantage of his misfortune.

"You are talking nonsense. My King Qin and the Lich King are father and son. How could I do something that would hurt their relationship? Zulong heard that the Lich King was in trouble and ordered us to come and help him. Now you are saying this. Where is the relationship between our King and the Lich King?"

"I think you have bad intentions, trying to sow discord between our king and the Lich King."

Wang Jian retorted again, and put a big hat on Odebiao's head.

When it comes to eloquence, Wang Jian is not inferior to Li Si. When it comes to thick-skinnedness, he, who is already in his early fifties, is better than Li Si, who is only in his early thirties.

"You are the one with bad intentions!"

"You have bad intentions!"

"You have bad intentions!"

Odebiao felt bitter, thinking that when he was in the underworld, he would fight against anyone who refused to obey. But now he had to hold back his anger and argue with Wang Jian.

Wang Jian was also in no hurry. He wanted to argue with the undead commander in front of him for days and nights. In the current situation, he just wanted to delay time. For this reason, he even restrained himself a lot, fearing that he would completely anger Odebiao and order the army to charge.
-
The two of them bickered for two hours, and the sun was about to set.

Suddenly, an undead cavalryman rode up to Odebiao and reported: "Commander, Commander Ren Xian's army has arrived."

Odebiao nodded and said a few words to the undead who came to report. Then he looked at Wang Jian and said coldly: "Wang Jian, I am too lazy to argue with you. Now you are surrounded by my 800,000 troops. Either surrender or I will kill you!"

'Eight hundred thousand!'

When Wang Jian heard what Odebiao said, his heart suddenly turned cold.

The intelligence was indeed wrong. The Undead Mountains were not short of troops, but clearly had sufficient troops.

25 against , and they were fighting against the undead, among whom there were at least cavalry, and on this vast grassland. This war could not be fought!
"We are here to help in the battle, how can we say we are surrendering? Aren't you afraid of your king's blame for your slander?"

Wang Jian once again took advantage of his shamelessness and still insisted that he was there to help in the battle.

"Prepare to attack!"

This time, Odebiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wang Jian. He waved his hand, and bursts of trumpets sounded from the surrounding undead cavalry.

The army was also ready to charge.

Wang Jian: "..."

Odebiao asked Wang Jian again: "It is the Lich King's intention to ask you to surrender. This is your last chance. Do you want to surrender or not? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Today you only have two choices: surrender or die!"

"..."

Looking at the undead who were ready to charge, Wang Jian fell silent.

"It seems that you are not prepared to surrender. Then we can only send the war report of your deaths to Qin. I hope Qin can bear your sacrifice."

Looking at the silent Wang Jian, Odebiao spoke coldly and raised his right hand to give an order.

The surrounding undead also held their spears level, sat on their skeleton horses, and began to paw the ground with their hooves.

"I surrender!"

Seeing that Odebiao was about to order an attack, Wang Jian spread his hands and said very straightforwardly.

When the undead sent out 800,000 to surround them, Wang Jian knew that the war was meaningless and sacrifice was meaningless. What he naturally had to do was to try his best to preserve the soldiers.

"..."

Looking at Wang Jian who surrendered so easily, Odebiao was speechless. It took him a long time to utter a word.

"You're really talking about ink stains!"
-
Zhao State, Handan.

After reading the battle report sent by Qin, King Zhao stood up from his throne with joy and said loudly to all the ministers: "Qin has sent 250,000 troops from Yiqu Pass to attack the Mountains of the Dead."

"I want revenge, revenge for what happened in Changping thirty-one years ago."

"Revenge! Revenge!" All the ministers in the court shouted angrily.

After the Battle of Changping, they all felt resentful in their hearts as they had waited for this day for too long.

Now, they have finally waited for something and the time has finally come.

Looking at the indignant ministers, the King of Zhao immediately gave a loud order: "Pass the order to attack Qin."
-
Qin State, Xianyang.

Zulong and his ministers had been discussing state affairs until noon but had not yet finished their discussion, so he simply asked the ministers to stay in the palace for lunch.

"Urgent news from the east, your Majesty, the State of Zhao has suddenly raised an army of 300,000 to invade, and the army has already reached Changping."

During the banquet, a soldier rushed in shouting and reported to Zulong.

Upon hearing the report, Zulong was stunned.

"what?"

"The State of Zhao is trying to take advantage of the situation."

"Attack Zhao!"

"We cannot attack Zhao. The war in the north has already begun and the outcome is undecided. We must avoid fighting on two fronts!"

The ministers who were eating were also stunned for a few seconds, and then they became outraged.

Some people shouted to attack Zhao.

Some people also loudly objected.

Looking at these indignant ministers, Zulong raised his hand.

"Quiet!"

Meng Tian, ​​who was standing next to him, saw this and immediately shouted loudly.

In an instant, the indignant ministers shut up and all looked at Zulong.

Zulong said to the ministers in a deep voice: "Zhao State is seeking revenge for the Battle of Changping 31 years ago. This time, they have sent 300,000 soldiers to take advantage of our battle with the Northern Lich King to tear off a piece of flesh from our Qin State."

None of the ministers spoke, all waiting for Zulong's next words.

Li Si, Wang Guan and Feng Quji also looked at Zulong worriedly.

The war in the north was still undecided. If the war in the north failed and the main force of the undead in the western region returned, Qin would surely face the wrath of the Lich King. Going to war with Zhao at this time would likely push Qin to the forefront, and any carelessness would lead to eternal damnation.

"Add 100,000 more troops to Yiqu Pass and mobilize all the troops in the country. I will personally lead the army and defeat the Zhao army."

Looking at the ministers who were looking at him, Zulong immediately announced loudly.

Zulong knew that Zhao came here for revenge and to tie down Qin's military strength, and was unable to send reinforcements to the north.

If Qin fails in the war in the north, Zhao will certainly not give up. Fighting on two fronts, Qin may be in danger of being destroyed.

Now, only by defeating Zhao with force can Qin fully deal with the greater threat that may arise in the north.

"Report!"

Just as he finished speaking, another soldier rushed into the banquet and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the war in the north was lost. The 250,000 soldiers and horses led by General Wang Jian were all captured in front of the Undead Mountains. There are still more than 800,000 soldiers and horses in the Undead Mountains!"

"this……!"

Upon hearing the soldier's report, all the civil and military officials in the court were horrified.

Zulong, who had just been so ambitious and ready to lead the army in person, staggered and almost fell.

The situation that Qin State was most worried about had occurred. After the war in the north failed, Zhao State raised troops to attack again. It can be said that if Qin State could not stop either side, it would face the difficulty of national destruction!
