Chapter 446 Gambling

The dense shadows of the lights illuminated the entire room.

Under the high platform, there were dozens of figures standing. Zhao Shuang's face was as dark as water as he listened to these subordinates sorting out the information.

"My lord, the Yuezhi rebelled. Each family lost at least a few cars to as many as ten cars. And we lost two hundred cars!"

"damn it!"

Inside the room, Zhao Shuang cursed loudly. Bai Lu held a knife and stood beside Zhao Shuang. She had never seen him like this before.

"Any good news?"

Zhao Shuang said something, and everyone was silent. Only one person stood up.

"The Yuezhi rebelled, and the two great princes of Xi stood by Barrett. After Barrett took control of the Yuezhi Royal City, he massacred the crown prince and his heirs. In addition to Princess Aaliya, Qiubi, a close minister of the Yuezhi King, Under the escort, I went to the Hunting Palace in the East and escaped the disaster. When the incident happened, General Zhao Xin received the letter asking for help and immediately sent out Qingqi to take Princess Yuezhi to Jincheng."

Zhao Shuang smiled.

"It's indeed good news."

The Yuezhi royal family is still there, so for Zhao Shuang, there is room for change.

Zhao Shuang looked at the man and asked.

"Sima Han, what are your plans?"

"At this time, the situation is chaotic. Barrett's rebellion has made the Yuezhi people undecided. If 50,000 troops rush out of Longxi, it may be possible to decide."

Zhao Shuang leaned on the square soft pillow and smiled slightly when he heard these words. These subordinates of Zhao Shuang did not know the internal secrets of the Qin State.

"Now most of Qin's food and grass are concentrated on the eastern front against Zhao. If we want 50,000 troops to march westward at this time, Qin will not support it."

It would be too risky and expensive to send tens of thousands of troops out of the country to fight.

After hearing what Zhao Shuang said, everyone present fell completely silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang had already made up his mind.

"Sima Han!"

"The end will be here."

"You immediately go to Nanzheng and organize the army together with Dianqing. Inform the generals of all departments to prepare their armaments and prepare for my orders."

After Zhao Shuang said this, Sima Han raised his head and glanced at his lord, feeling a little at a loss.

"The Lord wants to rely on Ten Thousand Yulin to go to the Yueshi alone to put down the rebellion?"

"Is there any other choice now?"

After Zhao Shuang stopped talking, all the ministers present knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this move is too risky. The battle is dangerous. If you make one mistake, you will lose everything!"

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind!"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand, and all the ministers retreated. Bai Lu frowned and took a step closer.

Zhao Shuang turned around and asked.

"You want to stop me too?"

"My lord, without the king's orders, how can Ten Thousand Yulin leave the fiefdom?"

Bai Lu has no intention of stopping him. As long as Zhao Shuang is willing, she will accompany him wherever he goes.

"Don't worry, someone will help me."

A smile appeared on Zhao Shuang's lips, and he didn't care about this problem at all.

"Help, I will definitely help!" Chang Pingjun laughed, with joy in his words, "Since Zhao Shuang is not willing to suffer this humiliating loss, he still wants to put everything he has into filling the bottomless hole of the Yueshi. Of course I have to help!"

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen sat across from each other, with a bottle of wine bought at a high price from a Xianyang wine shop on the table.

Chang Wenjun poured two glasses of wine and looked at the blood-red wine in the luminous glass with a smile on his face.

"Zhao Shuang succeeded as a young man, but after all, he still fell short of the standard."

"What does Zhao Shuang want to do?"

"He asked Princess Yuezhi to write a letter of confederation and petition the king to ask Da Qin to help her restore her kingdom."

Zhao Shuang's operation made Changping Jun happy.

"The Qin Dynasty has always been about destroying other people's countries. How can anyone help them restore their country?"

"Yes, so the stalemate is there. Zhao Shuang seems to hope that once the military success remains the same, restoring the country will be like destroying it. However, there seems to be a lot of dissent in the court."

Mr. Changping took a sip of wine, which was slightly astringent. He frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable with drinking. And Chang Wenjun seemed to drink it very smoothly.

"Of course there will be objections. If it succeeds, what else will happen? What will be the consequences if everyone of Zhao Shuang's 10,000 private troops, not to mention himself, is promoted to a noble title?"

Chang Wenjun didn't think about it carefully at first, but he was shocked now.

"Zhao Shuang is taking a big gamble! If he succeeds, he may become a country within a country."

Zhao Shuang was a feudal lord, but his subjects still had to pay taxes to Qin and himself. The difference is the proportion obtained by the court and the prince. If they take advantage of this loophole, in the end, not only will they not have to pay taxes to Qin, but Qin will also grant land and houses to these soldiers who have made military exploits.

"In this case, we might as well just sit back and watch. Anyway, there's nothing Zhao Shuang can do."

"Do you think Zhao Shuang will win?"

Chang Wenjun was speechless for a moment, but saw Chang Ping Jun smile lightly.

"Zhao Shuang's subordinates are mostly blood relatives, relying on blood ties as a bond, and they are very close within. Normally, we have no way to take action. This time, it is a good opportunity to weaken his power."

Mr. Changping picked up the priceless luminous cup on the table and drank the wine in the cup. It is a sour drink, but in a good mood, it also feels sweet and smooth.

"Let those more than 100,000 barbarians teach our Lord Hanyang a lesson."

The stars are sinking on a moonlit night.

King Qin stood in front of the palace, looking at the stars in the sky, wondering what he was thinking?

Gai Nie slowly stepped forward and bowed. But he saw Han Fei following King Qin, and smiled when he saw him coming.

Now Qin's war against Zhao is going smoothly, and the Qin army is about to arrive in Pingyang. If we continue with this momentum, we might be able to achieve great success before we run out of food and grass.

However, King Qin didn't seem to care about the war on the Eastern Front.

"What do you think about Yuezhi's affairs?"

"The war over there is all about minutiae. Regardless of victory or defeat, it has nothing to do with the overall situation."

Gai Nie's meaning is obvious. There is no benefit in raising troops to march westward and helping the Yuezhi.

"Yes, it is such an obvious thing, but none of the ministers in the court see the same thing. Isn't it interesting that everyone agrees to send troops?"

King Qin smiled and turned to look at Gai Nie.

"You don't agree with this. Do you think Zhao Shuang will win, or are you afraid that he will lose?"

Gai Nie's expression changed. King Qin's words were very soft, but the meaning behind them was inexplicable.

"Your Majesty, Genie is an honest man."

Han Fei said a word and relieved Gai Nie. King Qin looked at Han Fei and smiled.

"Now that you say that, what do you think?"

"The military situation is dangerous. Since someone has already set up this bet, there must be a corresponding bet to be worthy of this huge bet. However, this bet can be compromised."

"In this war, only knights were awarded, and all land rewards were obtained during the battle?"

Zhao Shuang looked at the final decree, and the handwriting seemed familiar.

"Han Fei?"

Zhao Shuang smiled. Although this result was not ideal, it was acceptable. He looked at Bai Lu beside him and ordered.

"Send orders to all the tribes to send troops to march westward."

"promise!"
