Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

But what Zhao Dan did not expect was that King Yan was so determined to attack Zhao Guo, and King Qi was so determined to maintain the isolation policy, that none of the two envoys sent by Zhao Dan succeeded.

This is the Warring States Period, a world of great contention that was brilliant one second, and changes rapidly in the next second!

When Lou Chang saw this, he said without losing the opportunity: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to Xianyang as an envoy for Your Majesty, and negotiate peace with that Qin King Ji!"

For Lou Chang, this is indeed an excellent opportunity.

As the saying goes, wars are generally divided into two situations: those who can win and those who cannot. If you can win, you will fight to the death;

In view of the fact that Zhao Guo is about to fall into a disadvantaged situation, it is actually more reasonable to seek peace at this time.

But at this moment, Zhao Bao, who was sitting next to Zhao Dan, slowly shook his head and said, "It is absolutely impossible to seek peace!"

As soon as Zhao Bao said these words, everyone was a little stunned.

You must know that Zhao Bao has always been conservative. This can be seen from Zhao Bao's resolute opposition to taking over Shangdang County before the outbreak of the Changping War.

This guy was resolutely opposed to the war before the fight started, so why is he resolutely leading the fight now?

Zhao Bao didn't care about that much, but frowned and said: "Husband Yan is just a country of bitter cold and few people in the north, Rong Huan is just a defeated general under Du Pingjun, and Li Wei is just a braggart. I think Zhao Guo occupies the land of the Central Plains." , the elite soldiers are like rain and the generals are like clouds, why should we be afraid of them?"

As he spoke, Zhao Bao arched his hands towards Zhao Dan, and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is better to let Duping Juntian lead the army alone, and he will surely defeat the Yan army!"

Zhao Bao's words were resounding, his face was determined, obviously his will was extremely firm, Lou Chang's mouth was so wide open that he couldn't close it for a long time.

You're not mistaken, Comrade Pingyang Jun, are you on the same side as me, Lou Chang?

Following Zhao Bao's opening, the opinion among the three Zhao Guozhong ministers present became two to one, and the main combat faction clearly gained the upper hand.

And everyone knows that Zhao Dan, as the monarch, is also a resolute main fighter!

If Zhao Bao was on Lou Chang's side, then maybe Zhao Dan would still be scruples, but now that Zhao Bao is also resolute in the main battle, it is absolutely impossible for Lou Chang's summation to pass.

After all, Zhao Bao is not only the emperor of Zhao State, but also the younger brother of Zhao Dan's father, Zhao Huiwang, and his mother. Chang is too heavy!

Seeing all this in Zhao Dan's eyes, he couldn't help laughing secretly.

Zhao Dan knew why Zhao Bao objected.

Because of fief.

As a prince of the Zhao family, Zhao Bao certainly has a fief, and this fief is not bad.

Zhao Bao's fief is in Anping, where the Hutuo River meets the Yellow River. It is a plain with rich water and soil, and it is a good place.

Anping is only a few hundred miles away from Zhongren City, which is being watched at the moment. Once the army of Yan State breaks through Zhongren City, and then continues to cross the Tang River to attack Gucheng, which is almost inevitable, then Zhao Bao's fief Anping is about to be exposed to the soldiers of the people of Yan!

We must know that Zhao Bao is very concerned about the fiefdom of Anping. Not only has he invested a lot of resources in the construction of Anping, Zhao Bao even hopes that Zhao Dan can use this place as a fixed seal to give him a permanent fiefdom.

But if we follow Lou Chang's suggestion to negotiate a peace, in the current situation, a peace negotiation cannot be concluded in ten days and a half months.

By the time the peace talks were over, Anping would have been turned into ruins by the Yan people!

So of course it is impossible for Zhao Bao to agree to a peace negotiation. Not only does Zhao Bao not agree to a peace negotiation, but he also hopes that Zhao Guo will organize troops to resist Yan State as soon as possible, so as to prevent the troops of Yan State from crossing Gucheng and endanger Zhao Bao's fief Anping.

People are all selfish. If you have to choose between the fief Anping and the interests of the so-called Gongzu faction, it is obvious that the fief is too important to Zhao Bao.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Dan knew that the situation was settled at this moment, so he coughed and said slowly: "In that case, then, as the widow said before, there will be no peace talks for now! Let me, the man of Zhao Guo, fight the Yan army for a few minutes. Let's talk later."

Fighting is definitely a must. After all, Zhao Dan, who is well versed in history, knows very well that from now to the next few decades, Zhao Guo will be the sufferer of Yan Guo, and the abilities of both soldiers and generals are far superior to those of Yan Guo. above.

So don't look at the fact that there are not many troops that Zhao Guo can use to resist Yan Guo, but Zhao Dan's heart is relatively calm.

It's just that the general policy of fighting has been determined, but how to fight this kind of thing still needs to be discussed.

If so, is the policy to be used offensively or defensively?

If attacking, how to attack and where to attack?

How to defend and where to defend?

There are a lot of problems waiting to be solved.

In this regard, Zhao Dan feels that he, who basically knows nothing about military affairs, does not have much say.

After all, there are specialties in the art industry, so professionals should come.

But this is also very normal, in Zhao Dan's mind, the widow is a super leader, the general boss, and the widow has to do everything by himself, what's the point of being a leader.

As a leader, of course it is necessary to take care of the overall situation and grasp the overall strategy. As for the specific matters, these ministers can completely let these ministers come up with ideas. Why don't you raise these guys?

So Zhao Dan turned his attention to Pang Nuan and Ju Xin who had been silent all the time, mainly because they were not qualified to intervene, and said, "I don't know what Pang Qing and Ju Zi think about the battle between Zhao and Yan?"

These two people may not be qualified to intervene in national affairs for the time being, but when it comes to the war against Yan, they are too qualified.

Chapter 72 Strategies against swallows

Pang Nuan and Ju Xin are the perfect candidates for this battle in Zhao Dan's mind.

Power grows out of the barrel of a gun, this is what the founding greats told us.Therefore, if Zhao Dan wants to sit on the throne with peace of mind, then there must be real members of his own in the army, not former veterans like Lian Po Le Cheng.

In the long run, this "one of us" should be Li Mu.In the short term, Pang Nuan is the best candidate.Because Pang Nuan does not have any foundation in Zhao State, this can guarantee Pang Nuan's loyalty to Zhao Dan, because Pang Nuan can only gain a firm foothold in Zhao State if he is loyal to Zhao Dan and obtains Zhao Dan's support.

Someone is going to ask, isn't this Tian Dan still there? Tian Dan is not from Lian Po's group, so why not use Tian Dan?

Tian Dan is a man, he definitely has talent, and this kind of battle with less against many is also Tian Dan's forte. Qi" a little.

Let's just say a few years ago, when Tian Dan had just become Zhao Guoxiangbang, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief by Zhao Weihou, and led the army to attack Yan Guo.

How did Tian Dan fight?At that time, Tian Dan clearly had the superiority in military strength and strength, but he chose not to attack the country of Yan. Instead, he played a sit-in confrontation war with the people of the country of Yan, which was ridiculed by Tian Dan's political opponents at the time as "protracted".

why?Wasn't it because Tian Dan was afraid that after Zhao Guo swallowed Yan Guo, the Qi State would be in disaster.

But Tian Dan's cleverness is also here, because Tian Dan also conquered several insignificant small cities in this war, and then successfully dragged down the Yan Kingdom, forcing the King of Yan to marry the Princess Zhao as the queen, which can almost be said It was the successful achievement of the goal set by Zhao Guo in advance, so that political opponents such as Zhao Sheng and Lin Xiangru could not find fault.

With such a criminal record, plus Zhao Dan talked with Tian Dan in person a while ago, and he knew Tian Dan's loyalty to Qi, so it was impossible for Zhao Dan to use Tian Dan.

Without Tian Dan, Le Yi is dead, and Lian Po is sitting in Changping and cannot be separated, so after Zhao Dan thinks about it, only Pang Nuan is the most reliable choice.

The reason why Zhao Dan sent Pang Nuan to Yan State before was because Pang Nuan was indeed a strategist himself, and the other was a precautionary measure. Let Pang Nuan learn about Yan State first, in case Yan State really attacked Zhao State Then Pang Nuan can be in command.

Judging from the current situation, Zhao Dan's prevention seems to have really worked.

In addition, Ju Xin himself is also a minister who has stayed in the country of Yan for a long time. Although he has stepped down for a long time, he must know a lot more about the country of Yan than other people.

If this is the case, Pang Nuan will be in charge, and Ju Xin will be the assistant, not to mention whether he can win, at least Zhao Dan thinks it should be no problem to defend for a while.

You must know that in the direction of the southeast two counties of Qin State, the people of Chu State have not been blocked at all, and they can fight wherever they want, but Zhao Dan has [-] troops who can delay the attack of the people of Yan State. The situation in China seems to be better than that in Qin State.
