Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The king also said just now that the eldest prince will inherit the throne basically without any accidents in the future.

This means that Lord Pingyang will become the mentor of the next King Zhao in the future!This wave hasn't taken off yet?

Pingyang Jun said with a smile: "Everyone, we have achieved a small victory this time, but the old man hopes that everyone should relax a bit, because we can achieve more victories in the future!"

For a moment, there was laughter in the hall.

Zhao Kuo returned home calmly and slept until dawn.

Early the next morning, Zhao Kuo, who had just woken up, received a report from Xu Li: "My lord, the military information from the counties in Mobei."

Zhao Kuo was a little surprised, did something happen to Mobei?

After conquering Mobei, although Zhao Guo established many counties in name and sent officials to rule the area, in fact Zhao Kuo took advantage of his status as a conqueror to firmly control the conquered Huns and Donghu. People are in control.

Today's Mobei counties in Zhao State have actually become a "sub-mine" of Zhao Kuo in the north.

Zhao Kuo still understands the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit. In case something goes wrong in the future, Zhao Kuo will go directly to Mobei, and bring the Xiongnu and Donghu cavalry south to fight back.

This is why Mobei's military information was not sent to the general's office first, but directly sent to Zhao Kuo through the channel of Nightingale.

Zhao Kuo dismantled the military situation, then frowned slightly: "Yueshi" this time in Mobei, it was mainly the Yueshi's invasion.

In the past, there were three main nomadic peoples on the grasslands of northern China. Among them, the Xiongnu and Donghu had been wiped out by Zhao Kuo, leaving only the Yue clan who lived in the Hexi Corridor for a generation.

The Yuezhi people have actually been beaten by Zhao Guo before.

Unexpectedly, it has only been a few years, and they are dishonest again.

Zhao Kuo focused and continued to read.

The territory of the Yuezhi is located in the west of the Monan Grassland of the Huns. After the demise of the Huns, the Yuezhi is also ready to move, and gradually begins to encroach on the territory that originally belonged to the Huns.

At the beginning, the Yue family was still more afraid of Zhao Guo, and this kind of behavior was also relatively hidden, which was done quietly.

At that time, Zhao Guozhu was also busy competing with the princes of the Central Plains, and had no time to pay attention to small shrimps like Yuezhi.

Although Zhao Kuo was also managing the counties of the Huns, the Monan Grassland was still very close to the mainland of Zhao after all, so Zhao Kuo mainly operated the Mobei Royal Court, which was the territory of the later Mongolian Kingdom.

After going back and forth, a small vacuum appeared in the western part of the Monan Grassland, which was caught by Yuezhi.

Over the past few years, the Yue clan occupied many territories and took in a large number of nearby Xiongnu tribes, which finally attracted the attention of local officials in Zhao State.

Local officials in Zhao State began to negotiate with Yueshi.

At the beginning, the Yuezhi people were very polite, even respectful, saying that it was all a misunderstanding before, and we will not do this in the future.

This made the local officials in Zhao State a little careless, thinking that these Yuezhi people were nothing more than that, so they didn't need to pay too much attention.

But soon the local officials of Zhao State discovered that the Yuezhi people were respectful, but the behavior of robbing territory and population did not stop, and even intensified.

The local officials of Zhao State were naturally furious, and immediately sent a second wave of envoys to question the Yuezhi people.

But this time, the Yuezhi people were not so polite, they directly beat up the Zhao Guo envoy, and then drove them out of Yuezhi's territory.

Immediately afterwards, the Yuezhi people launched an attack immediately, captured several cities of Zhao State on the border in an instant, and plundered them extensively.

As a result, the local officials of the Zhao State had no choice but to quickly seek help from the Zhao State Central Committee.

"What fools!"

After reading it, Zhao Kuo couldn't help being a little speechless.

In Zhao Kuo's view, these local officials should have noticed the movements of the Yuezhi people from the very beginning, and then reported it to the central government immediately.

As the saying goes, people who are not of my race must have different hearts!It turned out that these guys were lucky, they didn't notice until the Yuezhi people had grown up, and they didn't take the Yuezhi people to heart at all from the beginning.

Don't you know the reason to underestimate the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically?

According to this report from Nightingale, the current Yue clan has plundered at least one hundred thousand people.

What is the concept?

According to the Yuezhi and Xiongnu atmosphere where all people are soldiers, every adult man is a soldier, and this wave of Yuezhi has at least [-] to [-] soldiers!Of course, the quality of troops of nomads like the Yuezhi cannot be compared with that of Zhao Guo, but this is still a wave of strengthening for the Yuezhi.

Xu Li said: "My lord, it is estimated that the official request for help will arrive at the general's office in two days, what should I do now?"

Zhao Kuo stroked his beard thoughtfully.

If it was in normal times, Zhao Kuo's first thought would definitely be to personally go out and blow up the Yuezhi people, and take down the Hexi Corridor by the way.

After taking down the Hexi Corridor, wouldn't the passage between Zhao Guo and the Western Regions be completely opened up?

But the current situation is more delicate, because now Zhao Kuo is busy dealing with Pingyang Jun.

Leaving at this time, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?

Moreover, it will take a year and a half for the war to go away. For such a long time, it is easy to produce more variables.

Considering that Zhao Kuo's strength is actually suppressing Lord Pingyang, Zhao Kuo is of course unwilling to see more variables.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart and laughed.

"How to do?

Of course, he reported this matter to the king and asked the king to send troops to fight. "

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, and said: "If this matter is submitted to the King, will the King favor Pingyang Lord?"

Zhao Kuo laughed: "Yes, I just hope that he will favor Lord Pingyang, that's right!"

This time the Yuezhi invasion was seen as a trouble by others, but for Zhao Kuo, it became an opportunity instead!

Chapter 827 Zhao Kuo's Second Scene

The next day, Zhao Kuo came to the General's Office to work.

Sure enough, at noon that day, an urgent official military report from the northwest border was sent over.

Looking at the official military situation in his hand, Zhao Kuo also felt a little emotional.

After so many years, Zhao Kuo spent a huge amount of money to build the Nightingale system, which is indeed worth the money.

In this Yuezhi invasion incident, the nightingale system's information transmission was faster, and it also detailed the cause and effect of the entire Yuezhi invasion.

The official military situation is not only slower, but it also says that tens of thousands of Yuezhi cavalry invaded and asked for support, and the rest did not say a word.

If you only look at the official military situation, you will never know the truth.

Truth is the most important thing for decision makers!

Zhao Kuo withdrew his thoughts, stood up, and said to Xu Li: "Uncle Xu, please arrange the carriage, the Marquis is going to enter the palace now."

An hour later, in Zhao's palace.

Zhao Wang was furious: "What, there are still people who dare to invade the widowed Zhao country these days?"

Zhao Wang was very angry.

In the eyes of this ambitious king, Zhao Guo is now the undisputed most powerful country in the world. If Zhao Guo doesn't attack others, they will burn incense and worship Buddha. Now there are still people who dare to take the initiative to attack Zhao Guo?

Ever since, Zhao Wang also immediately convened a court meeting of important officials.

Zhao Wang's attitude is also very simple: "Everyone, I, Da Zhao, is the overlord of the Central Plains. This damn Yueshi Miner Xiaobang dares to invade Da Zhao. I will never let them go!"

Now, all of you tell the widow how to teach this Yuezhi people a severe lesson!

As soon as Zhao Wang came up, he made a simple and rude decision dash;dash; this battle must be fought, and it must be fought fiercely!

Regarding King Zhao's decision, Zhao Kuo frowned slightly.

This King Zhao is becoming more and more arbitrary now.

Although everyone knows that a meeting is basically about to start a fight, but at least you should give the courtiers a little bit of pretentiousness and agree to your chance, right?

There are still many ways to be able to speak and not to be able to speak, and the difference is also very big.

But Zhao Kuo naturally wouldn't say anything, it doesn't matter, anyway, you can say whatever you like now.

As soon as King Zhao finished speaking, Lord Pingyang immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, the old minister feels that these Yuezhi people must be taught a good lesson."

By the way, my lord, I heard that the Hexi Corridor occupied by the Yuezhi people is a very suitable place for grazing. If Da Zhao captures this place, then there will be another source of war horses.

After Zhao Wang heard this, his expression changed immediately, and he said with a smile: "Yes, it must be shot down!"

Zhao Guo was carried out through Pingyang Jun’s father, Zhao Wuling King; Hufu formally made his fortune after the reform of riding and shooting, so cavalry has a very high status in Zhao Guo, and war horses are one of the most important components of cavalry, so they are naturally very moving. popular.

For the young King Zhao, he needs more military exploits to stabilize the political situation in Zhao State, and to shut up those who think he is just a brat.

Lord Pingyang immediately climbed up the pole and said: "Your Majesty, the veteran recommended Lian Po Da Sima as the chief general."

Da Sima Lianpo successfully defended against the Qin army from the west in the last war. This time it is most suitable to send Sima Lianpo to attack the Yuezhi who also came from the west.

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but glance at Pingyang Jun when he heard the words.

Good guy, you are too good at rote, right?

If you want to put it this way, which road has not been fought by the Marquis?Is it true that my four directions are stronger than Lian Po's one direction?

However, Zhao Kuo actually didn't want to win the position of general today.

On the contrary, Zhao Kuo hopes that Lian Po will win the position of general!

why?

The answer is simple, because Lian Po is now the one who supports Lord Pingyang the most among all the important ministers.

Once Lian Po left Handan as the general who conquered the Yuezhi, Lord Pingyang suddenly became alone and alone.

At this time, it is the best time for Zhao Kuo to win Pingyang Jun!

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo glanced at Pang Nuan beside him, with obvious meaning.

Brother, you go first, let's play wave.

Pang Nuan received Zhao Kuo's signal, immediately coughed, and said: "Mr. Pingyang's words are wrong."

Your Majesty, the veteran remembers that Wu Xinjun defeated the Yueshi a few years ago, and who in the world knows better about cavalry warfare than Wu Xinjun, who single-handedly trained Chi You's army?

Therefore, the veteran believes that this time is of course the most reliable way to let Wu Xinjun go out!

After Pang Nuan finished speaking, Zhao Kuo nodded secretly.

Of course, you have to play a full set of acting.

Although it is said that the position of chief general is to be handed over to Lian Po, if Zhao Kuo does nothing and just watches Lian Po become the chief general in silence, it will arouse Pingyang Jun's suspicion.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo must oppose it, and must compete with Lian Po for the position of chief general, and finally lose to Lian Po.

In this way, Mr. Pingyang will never have any suspicions, but will be complacent, thinking that he has won Zhao Kuo again in this wave.

Coupled with the matter of being appointed as the teacher of the eldest prince at the first prince's full moon banquet yesterday, Mr. Pingyang's two consecutive victories will definitely make him even more proud.

If you are proud, you will forget your form!

So, please continue to be proud, Mr. Pingyang.

Zhao Kuo was thinking about it, watching Pang Nuan argue with Ping Yangjun.

Lian Po couldn't sit still anymore, he stood up and took the initiative to ask for a wave: "Please rest assured, the king, the old minister will definitely not let the king down!"

Zhao Kuo laughed, and also stood up, saying: "My lord, please go to battle!"The minister's record is victorious in every battle, and he will definitely not let any accidents happen in this war.

This sentence seems to be bragging, but it is actually an extremely cryptic self-deprecation.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Wang's face suddenly changed.

Zhao Wang subconsciously felt that Zhao Kuo had won every battle now, and it seemed heip;heip; not very good to let Zhao Kuo win a wave of military exploits.

What's more, it's okay to fight other vassal states, but now it's just fighting the Yue clan, and it's not a strong enemy!

Thinking of this, King Zhao finally made up his mind and said: "Didn't Mr. Wu Xin just attack the Yan State this year, and then the allied forces of Chu, Han, and Wei?"

If you continue to use Wu Xinjun's words, others will inevitably say that the widow is not sympathetic to his courtiers.

Let's do this, let Da Sima Lianpo lead [-] cavalry to attack the Yuezhi, and let the Yuezhi people know how powerful our Great Zhao is!

Zhao Kuo's voice fell, and Zhao Kuo and Pingyang Lord were sure of it.

Pingyang Jun looked at Zhao Kuo, with a provocative smile on the corner of his mouth again, and said in his heart: "Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, you lost to the old man again in this wave!"

Chapter 828

Looking at the expressionless Zhao Kuo, Mr. Pingyang was very proud.
