Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Moreover, most of these two 3000 people are either new recruits who have not yet grown hair, or old soldiers who have not been able to go to the battlefield and are waiting to die. They have no combat effectiveness at all.

Wanting to use such a team to guard the more than [-]-mile-long Southern Great Wall, and to guard against the assault of the [-] elite troops of the Wei Kingdom, is simply a dream.

To protect the front line of the Southern Great Wall, there is no way to do it without tens of thousands of troops.

Troops must be mobilized!

But the question is where do the soldiers come from?

In today's Zhao State, under the almost militaristic system, it can be said that all the people are soldiers, and the potential of war has been brought to the extreme.

As I have said before, more than half of the young and strong people in Zhao State have gathered on the front line of Changping, with a total of 45 troops.Of course, it is impossible for all of them to be combat troops, and it also includes some personnel of the logistics and supply troops.

Then there is still a small and a half young and strong?The task of this small group of young adults is also very heavy, that is to be responsible for transporting food and grass for the troops on the front line!

From Linzi of Qi State to Handan, and then from Handan to the Changping battlefield, there is a journey of thousands of miles. In the Warring States period when the transportation was not developed, a large number of chariots and people were needed to ensure the food and grass for the 10 people on the front line. Supply, which basically used up a small number of other young and strong people in Zhao State.

Whether it is the Changping battlefield or the people who transport grain, this is absolutely something that can only be added and cannot be subtracted. There is no discussion. After all, the overlord Qin is the number one enemy.

It can be said that, except for a force of about 5 people in the five northern counties of Zhao State, almost all the young and strong in Zhao State were mobilized and devoted to this unparalleled battle.

In history, after the army of the State of Zhao was wiped out in the Battle of Changping and killed by Bai Qi, in the ensuing Battle of Handan, most of the defenders of Handan led by Lian Po were led by Lian Po. Composed of underage children, women and the elderly.

Even at the most critical juncture, Zhao Sheng, the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, even sent his wife and concubines to the city wall of Handan. This shows how great the loss of the State of Zhao after the failure of the Changping World War I was.

As for the 5-strong frontier army in the five northern counties, although they still have a certain combat effectiveness, firstly, we must be wary of the nomads in the north of Zhao State going south, and secondly, we must be wary of the attack that may be launched by the northeast neighbor Yan State at any time. Being held back, there is no way to go south to help.

In this way, although Handan, the capital city located in the southeast of Zhao State and close to the border between Wei and Zhao, is protected by the Southern Great Wall, where did the soldiers and horses stationed on the Southern Great Wall and resisting the Wei army come from? The ministers were a little helpless.

There was silence in the hall.

Chapter 58 The Solution

If anyone among the ministers of Zhao State present here is the most disturbed, it must be Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng.

The reason is also very simple, if Zhao Sheng was able to persuade Wei Wanglian Zhao to resist Qin when he was an envoy to Wei, then how could there be so many things in the future?

It's all right now, not only Wei Guo didn't stand on Zhao's side, but went to Zhao's enemy Qin!

If one were to find someone who was responsible for this, then this big blame would definitely be pinned on Zhao Sheng.

What's more, Zhao Sheng himself, as the Duke of Zhao and the Prime Minister of Zhao, his personal interests are closely related to the national interests of Zhao. If Zhao is strong, Zhao Sheng will naturally be awesome. If Zhao is weak, who will take Zhao Sheng? Seriously?So Zhao Sheng is actually the most anxious one.

So after a while, Zhao Sheng finally couldn't help breaking the silence: "It's better to let Su Dai say that the Qi army will aid Handan, so that the Wei army can be defeated."

Now the situation is obvious, it is impossible for the soldiers and horses stationed at the South Great Wall to emerge in a short while, so they can only seek external assistance.

If you want to ask for help, your first reaction is of course to ask for help from Zhao's allies.

Although the Chu people have sent troops, the Chu army is now storming Wancheng hundreds of miles away.

Moreover, Zhao Guojun and his ministers also understand that this kind of alliance is to take what they need. In order to regain their homeland, Chu State can send a large number of troops to give Qin State a backstab, but if you want Chu State to give up Wancheng and attack Wei State northward, Isn't Chu State working for Zhao Guobai?Sorry, there is no such good thing.

Now, in the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Wei, Chu, and Qi, only Qi State is the only one that has not sent troops, so Zhao Sheng naturally thought of Qi State.

Although Qi State is no longer the overlord of the world in the past, it is still stronger than the current Wei State. Wei State can pull 10 people out, and Qi State can pull 15 people in minutes.

In fact, the reason why Chu, Wei, and Qi have so few troops compared to Qin and Zhao is not because there are not so many soldiers, but because they are not in the whole country like Qin and Zhao. Qi went into battle to the point of fighting each other to the death.

Once the Qi army is activated, then Wei Guo must be very afraid and dare not act rashly.Don't forget that the two key battles that directly led to the decline of Wei's hegemony came from Qi's "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao".

After hearing Zhao Sheng's words, all the ministers present had thoughtful expressions on their faces, obviously thinking about the possibility of Zhao Sheng's plan.

But before anyone else could react, a voice spoke first: "Mr. Pingyuan's strategy may be difficult to realize."

It was Yu Xin who spoke.

Zhao Sheng frowned. At first, he was a little upset because he failed to be the background board of Yu Xin, but now Yu Xin jumped out to oppose Zhao Sheng's opinion, which made Zhao Sheng's unhappiness a few levels. The tone of his voice also showed an obvious taste of impoliteness: "I don't know what advice Yu Qing has?"

I saw Yu Xin smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "A few days ago, the king sent Su Dai to Qi to persuade the king of Qi to send troops to help Zhao Kangyan. Now Lord Pingyuan ordered Qi people to send troops to help Zhao Kangwei. Do you think the people of Qi can handle this?"

As soon as Yu Xin said this, Zhao Sheng suddenly came to his senses, wishing he could slap himself in the face.

It turned out that Zhao Sheng was eager for a while, and he had forgotten that Zhao Dan had just sent Su Dai to Qi State for the second time a few days ago, hoping that Qi State could help Zhao Kangyan.

Not to mention whether Qi State is willing to send troops, even if Qi State is willing to send troops, it must only support one direction.If you want Qi to help fight Wei and Yan, you think that Qi is your nanny for Zhao, so you can do whatever you want?Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that Qi would never agree to this request to fight on two fronts at the same time.

This time not only Zhao Sheng, but even Zhao Bao and Lou Chang, Zhao Sheng's two allies beside him, were a little speechless.

Brother, you just lost in front of Yu Xin for a while, and now you jump out and give such a big face to Yu Xin to slap?Are you taking other people from our public clan as treasures?

Sitting at the top, Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng, who was blushing, and at Yu Xin, who was blushing, and knew that it was time for him to speak.

No matter what, Zhao Sheng is the current Xiangbang of the Zhao Kingdom. If Zhao Sheng loses his prestige, Zhao Dan's face will not look good, not to mention that Zhao Sheng is still Zhao Dan's uncle, so he always wants to show some face.

Zhao Dan coughed, and said: "Mr. Pingyuan is eager for a while, and it is understandable. You don't need to be entangled in this. You should think more about how to solve Wei Guo's matter."

After thinking for so long, Zhao Dan already had some ideas in his mind, but Zhao Dan didn't intend to say it right away.

After experiencing so many things, Zhao Dan has already discovered one thing, that is, with his understanding of history and characters, although he can take the lead in various "micro-manipulations", once he reaches this point, he has already started to slow down. If you slowly break away from the "operation" of the history you have mastered, you may not be able to completely overwhelm these ancients.

After all, among the enemies that Zhao Dan has to face and the ministers under his leadership, there is no lack of those famous and famous figures in history. Perhaps their knowledge has certain limitations due to the constraints of the times, but the knowledge of these people Talent and talent are unquestionable.

So Zhao Dan felt that he should also listen to the opinions of these ministers under his command.

Of course, Zhao Dan is not without his own advantages, because Zhao Dan's time travel has completely inherited the memory of the original King Zhao Xiaocheng, which is equivalent to combining two Zhao Dans into one.

Even if each Zhao Dan is mediocre and has a passing level of 120 points, even if the two add up to [-] points, [-] points is not too much, right?The three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang.

After Zhao Dan spoke, the meeting returned to the topic again, and the ministers began to offer suggestions on how to solve the possible backstabbing of Zhao Guo by Wei Guo.

Lou Chang said, "Your Majesty and the King of Han are related by marriage. The Qin State forcibly occupied Shangdang, and South Korea will be angry with Qin. If Your Majesty sends envoys to Xinzheng, they may be able to persuade the King of Han to help our Zhao State."

This proposal was quickly rejected.

After the loss of Shangdang County, South Korea today only retains about one county near the capital Xinzhenghe. It belongs to the weakest South Korea in history. It has a tendency to become a vassal state of Qin. I want Han Wangran to send troops to help Zhao , is almost impossible.

Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao, who had hardly spoken since the beginning of the meeting, suddenly said: "In my opinion, this trouble of the Wei State cannot be eliminated by sending envoys to Linzi or Xinzheng, only Daliang is the right solution."

"Da Liang? Mr. Pingyang can explain it in detail." Zhao Dan's eyes lit up slightly. This meeting has been going on until now, and someone finally thought of getting together with Zhao Dan.

Zhao Bao smiled and said: "Although I don't know what Wei Wangyu is thinking, the tricks of the Qin people are nothing more than alienation and severance. Qin people can use it, but I Zhao people can't use it? And that Wei Wangyu is an indecisive generation. If the king sent his envoy Daliang and Wei Wangyu to talk about the benefits and disadvantages in detail and lure them with benefits, then Wei Wangyu would be hesitant. Even if this move cannot change the mind of Wei State, it can also buy time for Zhao State.”

Zhao Bao’s analysis sounded quite reasonable, and made all the Zhao ministers present nod repeatedly, and even Zhao Dan couldn’t help but praise, because Zhao Bao’s and Zhao Dan’s thoughts really coincided with each other ah.

So with everyone's approval, the plan to send envoys to Wei State for the second time was confirmed.

But who to send?
