Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Wang read it carefully, and then his face slowly relaxed, and finally smiled completely.

The premonition in Pingyang Jun's heart became more and more bad.

The next moment, Zhao Wang raised his head, looked at Pingyang Jun and said with a smile: "Pingyang Jun, you are really wrong this time.

Wu Xinjun had sent Li Mu's troops to attack the hinterland of Yan from the direction of Donghu County a few days ago, forcing the King of Yan to order Lejian on the front line to withdraw his troops.

Then Le Jian was chased by Wu Xinjun on the way to withdraw the army. The Yan army was defeated in World War I. Wu Xinjun captured and beheaded more than [-]! "

Pingyang Jun: "" Although I really don't want to hear it, every time such a battle report comes, it is really the news of Zhao Kuo's victory.

Lord Pingyang moved the corner of his mouth reluctantly, revealed a smile, and said: "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations to my lord.

In this way, the great cause of annexing Yan State has made a good start, and victory is in sight. "

Although I was very upset, Zhao Kuo's war was beneficial to Lord Pingyang after all, which I still have to admit.

King Zhao laughed loudly and said: "This is really great, these days I have been hearing news of other princes gathering troops at the border, and I am always a little afraid that they will really unite to attack Da Zhao.

Now that the news of Wu Xinjun's victory spread, they must have become honest for a while. "

Lord Pingyang thought for a while, and couldn't help but said: "My lord, this is really not necessarily the case."

King Zhao frowned and asked in confusion, "Mr. Pingyang, what do you mean?"

Pingyang Jundao: "It's not that the old minister wants to spoil the king deliberately, but I ask the king to think about it, if other vassal states hear the news of Da Zhao's victory, what will they think?

On the one hand, they would indeed be afraid of Da Zhao's powerful strength, but on the other hand, they would naturally worry about whether the Yan State, which had lost its troops and generals, would not be able to withstand Da Zhao's attack and be destroyed.

Therefore, the veteran believes that Qi and Chu will soon continue to send people to put pressure on the king, and they want Da Zhao and Yan to have peace talks. "

The smile on Zhao Wang's face obviously disappeared a lot, and he said, "What should I do in that case?"

Lord Pingyang said: "In that case, it is actually not difficult to do. After all, Qin has just held the new king's enthronement ceremony, and is strictly investigating the mastermind behind the poisoning of the King of Qin. It should not have any effort to launch a war outside.

The key is to appease Chu State and Qi State. The veteran believes that we can make the appearance of negotiating on the surface, but actually let Wu Xinjun speed up and continue to attack. As long as the so-called negotiation can be completed before the completion of Yan State, Naturally, this negotiation was out of the question. "

King Zhao was immediately overjoyed when he heard the words: "As expected, Lord Pingyang, the ideas he came up with are indeed on point! Very good, then follow your ideas."

Lord Pingyang responded with a smile, and was quite proud in his heart: "Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, do you really think that this old man just lets you do whatever you want?

Let me tell you, that is impossible!In this war, it is indeed impossible for me to compete with you in terms of military merit, but in terms of diplomacy, I can do a lot, and the credit is not necessarily worse than yours! "

Moreover, Mr. Pingyang is not without a way to put eye drops on Zhao Kuo under such circumstances!So Mr. Pingyang hurriedly said: "The key now is to see whether Mr. Wu Xin's attack speed is going smoothly, and please issue an order immediately so that Mr. Wu Xin must hurry up and attack.

After all, the delay on the negotiating table cannot be delayed for too long. Once Qi and Chu come to their senses, they are likely to join forces to send troops. If Da Zhao had not annexed Yan at that time, he would fall into It's an enemy situation. "

This is the eye salve given by Lord Pingyang to Zhao Kuo. In his opinion, no matter how Zhao Kuo can fight, it will definitely take a lot of effort to face Jidu and other strong cities that have been operated by Yan State for so many years.

In this case, the day when Zhao Kuo conquered Jidu and destroyed Yan State will definitely be longer than the delay in negotiations, and Zhao State will inevitably break out a war with Qi and Chu in the south.

Lord Pingyang is not worried about the war with Qi and Chu, because Zhao Kuo only took away [-] soldiers and horses this time, and there are still enough soldiers and horses in Zhao State to mobilize.

If you can't fight, you need to organize another army to confront Qi Chu in the south, and let Zhao Kuo go south after Zhao Kuo destroys Yan.

In this way, even if Zhao Kuo did destroy the State of Yan, Lord Pingyang would still be able to criticize Zhao Kuo afterwards on the grounds of "not destroying the State of Yan within the time limit set by the king", and at the same time take this opportunity to weaken the King Zhao's trust in Zhao Kuo.

Thinking of this, Mr. Pingyang felt that his idea was really high, as high as three or four floors!Zhao Wang is still relatively young after all, and he did not think as far as the old fox Pingyang Jun, so he nodded immediately and said: "Pingyang Jun, what you said is very reasonable, then the widows will send someone to urge Wu Xinjun to continue To attack the country of Yan, speed up!"

The smile on the corner of Pingyang Jun's mouth became more and more intense when he heard the words, and he smiled at King Zhao: "Your Majesty is indeed a wise man!"

On the side, the eunuch Ling quietly listened to the conversation between the monarch and his ministers, feeling thoughtful.

The official position of eunuch order is very delicate, and you have to get along with the rulers of the Zhao Kingdom like King Zhao and the Queen Mother every day. Therefore, the necessary skill for every eunuch order is to accurately guess other people's minds.

The eunuch Ling saw Jun Pingyang's almost unconcealable smile, and then thought of the relationship between Jun Pingyang and Zhao Kuo, and instinctively felt that Jun Pingyang seemed to be digging a hole for Jun Wuxin.

So, how to do it?

The eunuch Ling hesitated for a moment, then secretly made a decision.

Maybe you can send a letter quietly to Wu Xinjun?

After all, this kind of plan that can tie Wu Xinjun well is really rare.

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on the corner of Eunuch Ling's mouth.

Chapter 762

Linzi, the palace of King Qi.

In the main hall, the sound of music curled up, and many beautiful dancers danced to the melody.

King Qi sat at the top, shaking his head and humming a little song. He was obviously very happy.

Of course, King Qi has reason to be happy. After slaughtering a wave of people from Zhao Guo, King Qi's previous extravagant life is back again!After drinking a glass of wine, King Qi was overwhelmed with alcohol, his mind was in a daze, and the woman in front of him also became a little illusory.

Just when King Qi was about to stop the banquet and bring the group of beautiful dancers back to the dormitory to be slept together, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

This burst of footsteps was very hurried, directly interrupting the rhythm of the entire melody, and King Qi, who was very sensitive to music, couldn't help frowning: "Who is so spoiling the scenery?"

Looking up, King Qi saw Hou Sheng's face, and immediately turned his anger into joy: "So it's you, Prime Minister, come, come, let me have another drink with the widow!"

In King Qi's view, Hou Sheng is a good dog. He not only helps King Qi get money every day, but also helps King Qi get women, all kinds of food, wine and other enjoyments.

What owner would be angry with such a hard-working dog?

Anyway, King Qi would not.

Turning his head again, King Qi saw Kuang Liang who was next to Hou Sheng again, and couldn't help but gasped: "Da Sima, why are you here?"

Although Kuang Liang is the most capable general in Qi State, King Qi's favor for Kuang Liang has dropped sharply since Linzi was captured last time. If it was not true that he could not find anyone, King Qi would have replaced Kuang Liang a long time ago. up.

Hou Sheng couldn't laugh, he said to King Qi in a hurried tone: "Your Majesty, the news I just got is that the Yan Army was defeated, and it was a miserable defeat. It was an out-and-out fiasco!"

King Qi snorted, waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Could it be that the Yan army can still win?

What a joke!Come, come, have another drink! "

Hou Sheng said helplessly, "Your Majesty, since Yan's army has been defeated, then the conditions we reached with Zhao Guo before, Zhao Guo may not continue to count on it."

"what?"

When King Qi heard the words, he suddenly became half sober from the wine, and said angrily: "This King Zhao can still talk for nothing?"

Hou Sheng said helplessly: "Not only that, because the loss of Yan State is too heavy now, if Da Qi does not consider putting pressure on Zhao State, Yan State may perish!"

"what?

? ”

King Qi is completely sober now.

Regardless of continuing to enjoy it, King Qi directly asked everyone in the hall to leave, and said to Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang: "What's the situation now?"

No matter how ignorant the king of Qi is, he still pays great attention to these major issues related to the security of Qi country.

He understands the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

This time it was Kuang Liang who answered King Qi's question: "The information came a few days ago. If estimated according to the normal marching speed, Zhao Kuo may have surrounded Jidu by now!"

King Qi took a deep breath and asked after a while, "Will it be like Xianyang and Linzi before?"

The meaning of King Qi is obvious. Although the capitals of Qin and Qi were breached before, they were not destroyed.

Hou Sheng shook his head and said, "My lord, there are still some differences.

The size of Qin State and our Daqi is too large, Zhao State cannot swallow it directly, but Yan State is different.

Yan State is located in the remote northern border, with few people in the country, Zhao State can annex it in one fell swoop! "

King Qi gasped, and couldn't help but angrily said: "What is this Le Room for, why is it so useless?

So what should we do now? "

Hou Sheng didn't speak, his eyes fell on Kuang Liang.

This is a question about war, so it is natural for someone like Kuang Liang who knows how to fight to answer it.

Kuang Liang obviously had already made up his mind, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that we should contact Chu and Qin immediately. As long as our three countries join forces to put pressure on Zhao, even if Zhao Wang really wants to He would definitely not dare to implement the idea of ​​annexing the Yan Kingdom."

Kuang Liang directly ignored the two small countries of Han and Wei. Anyway, if there is a real fight, Han and Wei will definitely be defeated by the wind. Anyone who understands this will understand.

King Qi said solemnly, "Okay, let's do it right away, and immediately send envoys to Qin and Chu, asking to join forces with them.

Also, write a letter to the envoy in Handan who is in charge of the negotiation, saying that the benefits that Zhao Guo promised to the widow before are absolutely indispensable! "

Chen Ying, the capital of Chu State, is located further south, so the King of Chu only learned the news at dusk the next day.

After hearing the news, the King of Chu was shocked at first, and then immediately summoned all the ministers of Chu State.

After receiving the report of the battle situation from the King of Chu, the ministers of Chu State also looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a while.

After a while, Jingyang spoke first: "Your Majesty, Zhao's war is going so smoothly, we must be careful that Zhao's annexation of Yan's will be very troublesome.

From the opinion of the old minister, it is necessary to immediately contact Qi, Qin and other major vassal states, and work together to put pressure on Zhao.

If Zhao Guo is still unwilling to give up Yan Guo, then we will immediately go to war with Zhao Guo! "

As soon as Chun Shenjun heard it, he immediately started to retort: ​​"What kind of talk is this?

Zhao Guo has always been quite abiding by the covenant. Our Da Chu has already betrayed the covenant with Zhao Guo once before. Will we continue to betray this time?

I don't think so. "

Jingyang sneered and said, "Betrayal?

In this world, isn't it normal to go to Qin Muchu?

As long as it is for the benefit of Da Chu, there is no betrayal! "

The two had a heated argument.

The King of Chu's expression changed, he gritted his teeth and said, "No, we still have to negotiate.

The country of Yan suffered a disastrous defeat, and it might indeed be annexed, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Hurry up, send people to Qi and Qin! "

The monarchs of the two major vassal states of Qi and Chu, although they can't be called wise monarchs that are rare in a century, they still reached a complete consensus on this matter and acted extremely quickly.

Compared with the Qi and Chu countries located in the Central Plains, the news of the Qin State located in Guanzhong lags behind for a long time.

When the envoys of Chu State had already arrived in Xianyang, and the envoys of Qi State were halfway there, Qin King Yingzi Chu, who had just ascended the throne, learned the news.

After hearing the news, Ying Zichu panicked and hurriedly summoned all the officials.

"Zhuqing, the battle between Yanzhao and Yanzhao has become like this, what should Daqin do?"

Fan Sui stood up almost without thinking, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister believes that the Yan State is absolutely invincible, and should immediately send troops to threaten Zhao State, and at the same time cooperate with Chu and Qi to force Zhao State to follow Yan State. retreat!"

On the other side, listening to Fan Wei's words, Lu Buwei knew that his chance to perform had come.

Chapter 763 Lu Buwei Opposes Qin to Send Troops (Part [-])

Lu Buwei stood up directly, and said in a deep voice: Your Majesty, I feel that this is definitely not the time for Daqin to send troops!

As the Grand Master of the Qin State and the teacher of Qin Wang Yingzi Chu, Lu Buwei's current status has definitely undergone a radical change from the previous period.

Who made Lu Buwei the one who can most influence King Qin Ying Zichu now?

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Buwei spoke, Qin Wang Yingzi Chu couldn't help looking at Lu Buwei, and said with some doubts: "Why did the grand master say that?"

Lu Buwei said with a faint smile: Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne now, and there are still many young people in the country who are not convinced, and have been lurking and wanting to make trouble.At this time, it is the time when the army is needed the most to avoid any trouble.

If the king mobilizes troops to fight Zhao Guo, then Guanzhong must be empty of troops, and if something happens, it will be very difficult to deal with it.

Therefore, the veteran believes that the most important thing for Daqin to do now is to remain neutral, and just watch other countries and Zhao Guo fight for life and death.

After the interior of the Qin Dynasty is truly stabilized, it will be the time for the king to send troops to Zhao to fight for the hegemony of the world!

Lu Buwei's influence was not created by him. After he finished speaking, Ying Zichu nodded repeatedly and said, "It seems that this is true. If this is the case, then let's not send troops for now."

As soon as Ying Zichu said this, Fan Sui immediately became anxious.

Fan Sui hurriedly said: Your Majesty, absolutely not!With the strength of Qi and Chu, it may not be possible to defeat Zhao, and it is necessary for Daqin to send troops together to have a chance of winning.If Daqin doesn't send troops, then the whole plan against Zhao will have a huge flaw, and it won't be a big threat to Zhao!

Fan Sui sees things quite clearly.

Although Qi and Chu were once hegemonic countries, they have declined decades ago, and now they are just a state where a dead camel is bigger than a horse.

On the contrary, although Qin State has suffered repeated setbacks over the years, Qin State was still a true hegemony country ten years ago, and the background of Qin State's hegemony has not been completely lost.

At this critical moment, without the leadership of an old overlord like Qin, Qi and Chu would easily lose the chain.
