Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

But it is useless to defeat Lian Po, because Zhao Guo still has Zhao Kuo.

After Da Qin defeated Lian Po in the past, he was defeated by Zhao Kuo. Isn't Da Qin able to learn from such experience and lessons now, and continue to repeat the same mistakes? "

These words immediately silenced the hall.

Zhao Kuo is indeed a very, very special existence to the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, and it can be said to be the biggest fear and heart disease in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin Kingdom.

Qin has never defeated Zhao Kuo!Fan Sui was obviously still a little unconvinced, and said to Ying Zichu: "Prince, don't forget that there are more than 40 Allied Forces of the Five Nations outside Lingqiu City.

No matter how strong Zhao Kuo is, can he still defeat the 40 army in one fell swoop by virtue of Zhao's current inferior force? "

Fan Sui's words resonated with many people.

In the eyes of these people, Zhao Kuo may indeed be very strong, but if you want to use an army of 20 or 40 to fight against an army of [-] and still win, no one thinks that Zhao Kuo can do this.

To be honest, Ying Zichu actually had some doubts and doubts about this in his heart, but Ying Zichu knew that he must not retreat at this time.

This is the first proposal that Ying Zichu put forward after becoming the prince. If this first proposal ends in failure, then how can Ying Zichu, who was originally very weak in Qin, increase his strength? Does the prestige in the political arena of the Qin State pave the way for the future enthronement to become a new generation of King Qin?

So the next moment, Ying Zichu said something that shocked everyone in the hall: "Father, I dare to guarantee that Zhao Kuo will be able to successfully resolve the crisis of the Allied Forces of the Five Nations this time. If it is not realized, I am willing to take all the responsibilities.”

The so-called taking all the responsibilities is actually very simple. Ying Zichu has nothing to take responsibility for now. Of course, the only thing that can be taken out is the position of the prince.

King Qin's expression changed again and again, he took a deep look at Ying Zichu several times, and said coldly: "Have you really thought it through?"

Yingzi Chu raised his head and said, "Father, don't worry, my son has thought it through carefully, and he has definitely thought it through."

King Qin nodded slowly, and said to Ying Zichu, "Very good.

Now that you have figured it out, the widow will give you a chance. Daqin will continue to recuperate and not participate in the battle of the princes against Zhao this time! "

Listening to King Qin's words, a relieved smile appeared on Ying Zichu's face.

These words were taught by Lu Buwei to Ying Zichu.

Ying Zichu felt that he performed very well today and fully implemented what Lu Buwei said. Presumably Mr. Lu should be very happy.

It's just that what Ying Zichu himself didn't know was that what Lu Buwei taught him actually came from a secret letter.

Of course, this secret letter could not have come from someone else, it was from Zhao Kuo who knew about the defeat of Gaotang City!

Chapter 247 No One Thinks Zhao Kuo Can Win

The seven days passed quickly, whether it was long or short.

Mr. Pingyuan is a minister with good words and outstanding abilities, so after seven days, the army assembled in Handan City was not 12, but [-].

After leaving 2 people stationed in Handan, Zhao Kuo set off with the remaining 10 people.

It was still the Zhao Guozong Temple, and the battle ax and the soldier talisman were still awarded, but this time the protagonist finally became Zhao Kuo.

Many Zhao Guo ministers watched Zhao Kuo take over the axe from Mr. Pingyuan, and the soldier talisman from King Zhao, all of whom looked serious on their faces, but actually had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Among them, Han Xu, the grand master of Zhao Guo, was obviously the most unhappy.

Little Zhao Wang said with a very serious expression: "Wu Xinjun, this time we must come back victorious!"

Zhao Kuo also nodded very seriously and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's entrustment!"

Han Xuwei watched Zhao Kuo walk down the steps of the ancestral temple step by step, towards the waiting one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, finally couldn't hold back the unhappiness in his heart, and hummed softly.

Lin Xiangru's voice rang in Han Xuwei's ear at the right time: "Why is the grand master like this? Could it be that he thinks that Wu Xinjun can't win?"

Han Xuwei sneered, and said, "Xinjun, you must know that there are 40 troops gathered outside Lingqiu City. What's the use of Zhao Kuo bringing 10 people there? Isn't it just hitting a stone with an egg?"

Lin Xiangru was silent for a moment, and said: "So the grand master really hopes that both Wu Xinjun and the general will die in Lingqiu City?"

The tone of this sentence was not high, but it attracted many Zhao Guo ministers nearby, who cast strange glances.

Knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Han Xu hurriedly coughed and said, "No, of course I don't mean that. I just think it should be safe, and it's best to be safe."

Lin Xiangru shook his head, sighed in disappointment, and walked away.

This action made Han Xuwei very upset, and this discomfort lasted until Han Xuwei returned to his home half an hour later.

In Han Xuwei's home, more than 20 carriages and hundreds of retainers and private soldiers have been prepared. These carriages are full of large boxes, and the boxes are filled with the "harvests" of Han Xuwei's tenure as a grand teacher during this period of time. ".

Han Xuwei looked at these big boxes, and a trace of intoxication flashed through the deepest part of his eyes, and then he said in a deep voice to his wife, son, and grandson who came up to them: "Go to Jinyang immediately for refuge!"

Han Xuwei's wife is an old woman with white hair, she looks like a very calm housewife, after a little hesitation, she said: "Husband, I heard that Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo has led the army, Wu Xinjun is the No.1 general in the world, it should not be difficult for Da Zhao to win this time, right?"

Han Xuwei glared at his wife and said, "What do you know as a woman?

This time is not a dangerous situation that Zhao Kuo, the kid, can save. If you wait any longer, and the Allied Forces of the Six Nations will come over in a few days, my Han family will all die here!Go to Jinyang quickly! "

Han Xuwei's son and grandson were also flustered when they heard the words. After some persuasion to Mrs. Han, Mrs. Han felt helpless and had to get on the carriage.

The convoy set off in a mighty way, and went straight to the north gate of Handan.

Of course, it is impossible to hide such a big movement from others.

Mr. Pingyuan was the first to get the news.

After hearing the news, Mr. Pingyuan was furious: "This Han Xuwei, now that the battle in Dazhao is in critical condition, he actually wants to find a way out for his family?

You bastard, you're an absolute bastard, you're not a son of man! "

Pingyang Jun who was present also had an ugly face, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, why don't we submit a copy of the memorial to him?"

Mr. Pingyuan's face moved slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded slowly, and said coldly: "At this moment, the frontline battle is about to start, if I wait behind my back and fight endlessly because of these things, it will only distract Wu Xinjun and the general at the frontline , or wait until this war is over before making any calculations!"

Lord Pingyang rolled his eyes slightly, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Brother, why don't we send some family members to Jinyang?"

Lord Pingyuan was taken aback, and he glared at Lord Pingyang, saying: "You are also a minister of Great Zhao, how can you do such a thing?"

Lord Pingyang sighed, and said: "The battle is very dangerous, and even though Zhao Kuo has an outstanding military strategy, there is a full 40 troops on the opposite side."

Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a long time, and said: "It also makes sense.

But I can't do things like that Han Xuwei, so how about it, you bring your two children over tomorrow, and the same is true for the old man, and the four children will leave quietly without attracting others' attention. "

Jun Pingyang smiled: "Brother is wise!"

Lin Xiangru's mansion.

In the study room, Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen sat opposite each other, with worried expressions on their faces.

Zhou Shaofen said worriedly: "Xinjun, I heard that the grand master even grandiosely asked his retainers to escort his family and dozens of carts of goods out of the city to seek refuge in Jinyang. This is really worrying."

Lin Xiangru's face was also quite ugly, and he said: "The grand master was also a decisive person in the past, but he has become so timid after 20 years.

The old man had a hunch after hearing what he said at the expedition ceremony, but he didn't expect him to actually do such a thing. "

Zhou Shaofen's eyes flickered, and it took a while before he asked tentatively: "Believe in the king, or we will also." Lin Xiangru was silent for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "No.

We are important ministers of Great Zhao, if we do this, how can the whole country of Great Zhao believe that Lord Wu Xin will win?

We must stick to this place, so that all the citizens of Dazhao can see hope! "

Zhou Shaofen froze for a moment, then sincerely praised: "Xinjun is indeed a model of patriotism, Zhou admires it!"

Lin Xiangru smiled and said: "Actually, you may not believe Zhou Qing. Although Wu Xinjun has never dealt with the old man, but I don't know why he sent troops. The old man always thinks that Da Zhao can turn around from defeat. of."

Zhou Shaofen nodded sternly and said: "To tell you the truth, Zhou also thinks the same way."

But what Zhou Shaofen and Lin Xiangru didn't expect was that there are not many people who think like them.

Han Xu's behavior of running away for his wife and children's wealth undoubtedly made a very bad start, and many dignitaries in Zhao State also began to secretly transfer their families to other places such as Jinyang, Zhongshan, Shangdang and even Hedong.

For a while, people in Handan City were panicked.

Many people also questioned: "Wu Xinjun is the No.1 general in the world, what are you waiting for?"

The answer I got was: "One hundred thousand versus 40, tell me how to fight this battle and how to win it?"

Even though Zhao Guo is the most powerful country in the world, even though Zhao Kuo is recognized as the No. 1 general in the world, most people in Handan City still think that Zhao Kuo can't win this time!

Chapter 248 Zhao Kuo's Envoy Came to Chu State

The capital of Chu State, Chencheng.

Chu State Order Yin Chunshen Jun Huang Xie is not in a good mood recently.

On this day, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie called a meeting of several confidants, and said worriedly: "Everyone, Your Majesty asked Jingyang to lead the troops to rescue Qi. I originally thought that he would return without success. They were able to win, and now they have even invaded Zhao's territory, what should we do?"

Although Chu won, but because the victorious general of the Chu army was Chunshenjun's mortal enemy Jingyang, Chunshenjun was the loser instead.

National interests and personal interests are often not unified, as can be seen from Chun Shenjun's embarrassing position on this matter.

Several confidants were silent for a while, and then Li Yuan said, "Your Honor, why don't you find a way to persuade the King to withdraw his troops?"

Jun Shen's expression changed, but he immediately shook his head and said, "Now that 40 troops from the Allied Forces of the Five Nations are besieging Lingqiu City, how easy is it to withdraw our troops?

Maybe the king himself still wants to break into Handan City and shatter Zhao's hegemony. "

Another confidant, Zhu Ying, said: "Your Majesty, you can't let Jingyang continue to win, otherwise the momentum of the three major families will definitely be boosted by this victory, and I will have a hard time waiting. "

Chunshen Jun sighed, and said, "It's not like this Marquis doesn't know about this situation, but what can I do right now?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the study, and a voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, someone claims to be the envoy of Lord Wu Xin, Zhao Kuo, asking to see you!"

An hour later, the Chu Palace.

The King of Chu is in a good mood recently. He unexpectedly won a big victory in the aid of Qi State that he was quite worried about. You must know that the opponent is Zhao State, the most powerful country in the world.

Many courtiers of the Chu state flattered the King of Chu in a fancy way, and directly compared the King of Chu to King Zhuang of Chu among the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, which greatly satisfied the King of Chu's vanity.

At this moment, the King of Chu is meeting Zhao Zhong and Qu Feng, two important ministers, to discuss some matters related to the frontline army.

Suddenly someone reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Chunshen and Zhao Guo's envoy Li Si are begging to see you!"

"The envoy of Zhao State?"

King Chu was stunned for a moment.

The two allies, Zhao Zhong and Qu Feng, looked at each other, and they both saw vigilant expressions on each other's faces.

Zhao Zhong immediately said: "Your Majesty, the battle is going so smoothly now, and it is the time when Da Chu is going all out to defeat Zhao Guo and disintegrate Zhao Guo's hegemony. This Zhao Guo envoy must come here to deceive His Majesty with flattering words. Your Majesty must not see him."

Qu Feng also said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Shangzhu Kingdom is right!"

The King of Chu pondered for a moment, and said, "Forget it, let's see each other."

The King of Chu also had his own ideas. The ginseng business was nominally run by Lord Chunshen and the people of Zhao Guo, but in fact Lord Chunshen also "paid" a lot of profits to the King of Chu.

Moreover, Zhao's defeat is imminent, and Jun Shen's momentum will inevitably be suppressed by the three major families. From the perspective of checks and balances, King Chu feels that it is necessary to give Jun Shen some face.

So after a while, Jun Shen took Li Si into the hall.

Li Si cupped his hands towards the King of Chu, and said: "The ministers have seen the King, congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King."

When the King of Chu heard this, his expression became a little strange: "Where does the joy come from?"

Zhaozhong sneered, and said, "Could it be that this envoy from Zhao Guo wants to congratulate Da Chu for defeating Zhao Guo and destroying more than [-] Zhao troops?"

King Chu snorted and couldn't help laughing.

The expression on Li Si's face remained unchanged, and he said very seriously: "The reason why I want to congratulate the king is because the king is about to avoid a tragedy of making wedding dresses for others, and because the king is about to regain Fangcheng and Yingdu."

The King of Chu frowned suddenly, and said lightly, "Where did you start?"

Li Sidao: "During the Battle of Gaotang, Dazhao suffered heavy losses, and now Lingqiu was surrounded by 40 troops from the Five Kingdoms, causing heavy losses.

If Lingqiu is breached, even Handan will be greatly threatened. In the most extreme case, Handan is likely to be breached, and Da Zhao may even be in danger of subjugation.

Your Majesty, are the ministers right? "

The King of Chu nodded and said, "That's true."

Li Si said sternly: "Then the foreign minister wants to ask the king here, if the state of Zhao is really destroyed, will this matter benefit the state of Chu?"

Zhao Zhong snorted and said first: "How could it be of no benefit?

The state of Zhao is so powerful that it shakes the world, and the failure and decline of the state of Zhao is what every country wants to see. "

Li Si laughed loudly, and said to Zhao Zhong: "I would like to ask Shangzhu State, if Great Zhao is really destroyed, can Chu State obtain even one mu of land?"

Zhao Zhong was suddenly dumbfounded.

The state of Chu and the state of Zhao do not border each other, so if the state of Zhao really perishes, of course the state of Chu will not get any land.

Qu Feng on the other side reacted quickly, and immediately said: "Didn't the Qin State obtain the enclave of Taoyi when it attacked Qi? Of course Da Chu can also obtain the enclave!"
