Chapter 292

"Master! It's too late to retreat!"

The south of Hongye Valley has been performing troops since last night, with a huge momentum, which made people feel panicked. They sent several rounds of envoys to Zhao State. No news has been heard yet. The ministers who were still on the front line were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, and had been pestering the King of Jin all day.

Unfortunately, King Jin ignored the persuasion of his ministers.

"Retreat? What to retreat? Where to retreat? One part retreats step by step, where can it go? Do you know how much copper can we get from Qixia Mountain every day? A whole thousand kilograms! A thousand kilograms of copper! Every day! Why do you have the nerve to speak? As a Jin man, you can't consider the interests of the Jin Kingdom. What's the use of you?! One of them is better than anyone else when drinking and eating! When doing things, they are more timid than the other! They are as timid as a mouse! They are short-sighted!"

If it were the past, he would never have said such words to his ministers, but today he was really angry!

He was pestered by his ministers all day long, not allowed to eat or sleep, unless he agreed to give up the 16 cities of Zheng State to withdraw his troops, he would have to follow him when he went to the toilet!

Apart from not tying him up, it is no different from being kidnapped!

How could he care if speaking hurts their relationship?

His feelings have been hurt like this, doesn’t anyone care?

Why should the king love such ministers who do not love the king?

"The conscience of heaven and earth! King! If we were that timid man, we would have been no longer here like those who escaped in the battle! We should drink and sing and sing in the king's capital, watch the dancers dance, or climb high to enjoy the scenery. How could we risk our lives here and persuade the king? Isn't the autumn scenery of the king's capital beautiful?! Is the heartfelt, but the king said this, which is really heartbreaking!"

The ministers immediately cried, and they beat their chests and stamped their feet, and they immediately wanted to kill themselves to prove their innocence.

The King of Jin couldn't help but be too big!

In fact, he also knew that the ministers' suggestions were for his own good, but he really couldn't bear to give up the benefits he got, so he just gave up!

Although the Jin Dynasty was rich, its terrain was flat and there were few mountains, and it was always lacking in copper and iron.

Seeing that the world is in chaos, there is no way to cast weapons without copper and iron. If you fight occasionally, you can rely on years of accumulation to reach the top. If you fight frequently, the weapon loss will be too great but it cannot be compensated in time. How much loss will you suffer?

As an ambitious king, he could not only consider the present.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, how can you not hurry up and take advantage of it?

In fact, he also knew that the reason why the attack on Zheng Neng achieved such great results this time was that King Zheng hanged himself, and Zheng State was blessed with chaos. If the new king of Zheng State ascended the throne, the central government would unite and the Jin State still wanted to take advantage, it would definitely not be so easy!

So even though he knew that when the Zhao army did not arrive, the Jin soldiers were weak and the Zheng army had the help of the Chu people. It was the time when the morale was greatly boosted. The two sides were at war and the Jin Kingdom could not make any good, so he still wanted to protect Qixia City for a few more days.

"It's so urgent? Wait a few more days, can't you wait for a few more days?! You are killing me!"

King Jin slapped the table!

No matter how bad the Jin Kingdom is, it will not be able to protect it for several days!

"Qixia City is the farthest from the border of our Jin Kingdom. If you are not careful and the retreat is cut off by the Zheng people, it doesn't matter to us, but the king cannot let it go! There must be a reason for Zhao State to fail to make a promise this time. Compared to Zheng State, what happened to Zhao State as an allied state is more important!"

Without Zhao's help, with the power of Jin, it would be impossible to bully Zheng like this!

The ministers felt that the king was inflated.

If you are lucky, you can get a flaw and get a bargain if you get a bargain! But this king is not right!

I won’t let go after I get a bargain. The backyard is about to catch a fire. I’m not in a hurry, but I’m angry? It’s so angry!

"Besides, there are now 60,000 slaves working day and night in Qixia Mountain, dozens of people are exhausted every day, and they are only 1,000 pounds of copper on the sunrise. Not to mention that the weather will be colder, there will be more slaves who die. Just say that if you do not retreat in time, what time can these slaves retreat?"

"Slaves' lives are like grass, and they will grow in a bunch of them in the blink of an eye. If they are not given up, how can they get it?"

He had never planned to let them go back when he sent these slaves to mine and smelter copper! It was just the most serious thing to seize the time to mine!

These wooden minds actually think that letting the slave retreat a few days in advance is the most important thing!

Really stupid!

No distinction between primary and secondary!

King Jin felt that he had made great concessions, but these ministers didn't understand his painstaking efforts. They just wanted to escape. If they could use it, why spend so much money to raise soldiers? Isn't it good to build cars and raise horses? If something really happens, you can still run faster!

Although the world is big, there is always a time when there is nowhere to go, and it is not unreasonable for him to think so.

Is the Jin Kingdom vulnerable? If it is really vulnerable, how could it be that it would have been possible to grab so many cities from Zheng Kingdom before?

Although it is suspected of being a skill, this is also a real skill! Why are these people timid all of a sudden?

Are the Chu people that scary?

Although they look a little taller and have a little outstanding temperament, they are thin like bean sprouts. If they go down for a few hammers, they will lose nothing?

It was also because I had lived in the northwest for a long time and had never fought with the Chu people. I had never seen the abilities of these seemingly intimidating Chu people.

King Jin thought to himself, I haven’t even met before, how can I know how hard I can fight?

It’s too embarrassing to be scared just by listening to the rumors!

Neither king nor minister could convince anyone. It was not until the scout came to report that the Zheng people had already attacked, and the King of Jin began to panic!

When making a fight, you won’t fight just because one side doesn’t plan to fight.

Otherwise, the Jin Kingdom would not have been able to invade Zheng State and occupied the sixteen cities of Zheng State!

The reason why the Zheng and Chu coalition forces remained unmoved was because they were afraid that Zhao would be ambushed. Now they started, not only because the day of the battle had arrived long ago, but also because they were already convinced that the Zhao people would not come to get involved this time!

After many days of running-in and cooperation, the Zheng and Chu coalition forces could hear the rumbling horse hooves in a short while.

"What wind is blowing now?"

The Zheng and Chu coalition army was fierce and their own soldiers were not in a position. They knew that this battle could not be fought. The King of Jin scolded the Zheng people for not following the rules and attacked before they even called for a war. At the same time, he ordered the camp to retreat to Qixia City.

As for the slaves in Qixia Mountain outside the city, he couldn't care about it.

At worst, it’s snatched away by the Zheng people, so it’s fine to snatch it back. Anyway, the slaves will be used the same as everyone else’s hands.

The ministers had already prepared to retreat. At the order of the King of Jin, the Jin army immediately started to move.

The King of Jin got on the horse. Before leaving, he saw the red leaves valley with extremely strong autumn colors. He listened to the shouts of killing from the south. Thinking of the north wind blowing today, he suddenly ordered: "Light up for me!"

In autumn, the dry fallen leaves immediately burned when they saw the fire, and the valley filled with dead branches and rotten leaves became a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye!
