Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 103
Zhao State Handan.

Zhao Wangqian was still naked, with a strange smell all over his body, practicing archery with Hu Ji, and all the power in the court was controlled by Guo Kai.

The Qin army's three-way encirclement strategy was introduced to Handan, and the people in Handan were panicked.

The important ministers of the court jointly wrote a letter to remonstrate, but there was no response. The senior ministers of the royal family also secretly entered Zhao Wangqian's bedroom, but Zhao Wangqian reprimanded him: "Go to the prime minister, don't bother me!"

He didn't even lift his eyelids when he was talking, but kept his head down and played with Orchid.

As the proverb goes: Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

Of course, Zhao Guojun and his ministers' famine did not happen overnight.

Facing the pressure of 30 tigers and wolves and powerful enemies, as the king of a country, he does not actively defend against the enemy, but still plays with the beauties here.

The country is gone, what's the use of beauties?

The veteran ministers in the court made a bold decision: kill Guo Kai, abolish King Zhao, and support a new king.

But Guo Kai holds great power, and the four central ministers in the court are all his confidantes.

Although Guo Kai is a treacherous official, he is not lustful, not greedy for money, handsome, knowledgeable, and a political strategist who can speak well.

He was reprimanded by Guo Kai and others in the court hall, and the senior ministers were speechless after being angrily reprimanded.

More importantly, Guo Kai had a good reputation in the prince's mansion. Even if Zhao Wangqian was abolished, the new king would support Guo Kai.

Although he is a traitor, he can't find fault in every aspect, and he is the only one in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

And the reason why he was scolded by later generations was because he was bribed by the king of Qin, killed Li Mu, and surrendered to the state of Qin, but now Guo Kai is not a traitor, he just wants to be a minister like Lu Buwei.

What's more deadly is that when the civil and military officials were about to stand up for Li Mu as the main force against Qin, Guo Kai actually agreed, which made many senior figures dumbfounded. Did Guo Kai suddenly wake up?
However, the good times didn't last long, and this scene was broken by Zhao Gao's sudden appearance.

When Zhao Gao drove into Handan City in a carriage, he aroused the disgust of many ministers in the court, and they all asked Guo Kai to kill Zhao Gao.

Afterwards, Zhao Gao visited Guo Kai late at night. Guo Kai frowned and was about to scold Guo Kai for going out.

Zhao Gao took out a bamboo slip and handed it to Guo Kai. Guo Kai was furious after reading it, and was about to order his servants to drive Zhao Gao away.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao was calm and calm, showing a dark smile and said: "Sir, King Zhao is addicted to wine and debauchery, and the ministers in the court are also tit for tat with you. Li Mu even threatened to "clear the emperor's side" to resist Qin's attack and then sent his troops into Handan to execute him. Kill Mr. Murder!”

Although Guo Kai is a treacherous official, he is not stupid, so he can get Guo Kai hooked with a few words of provocation?

Yao Jia and Dunruo bribed many times, but Guo Kai still kept his head clear, how could he fall for Zhao Gao's few words!
And then, Zhao Gao directly dropped a blockbuster: Qin Wangzheng's imperial edict!
"When the Qin State destroyed Zhao, Guo Kai could rule Zhao as a fake king of Zhao, but he was not allowed to have private soldiers."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gaoyou said to Guo Kaidao: "The Qin army's three-way siege coincided with the continuous drought in Zhao State. It is only a matter of time before Zhao State is destroyed!"

"Let's not talk about Zhao Wang's licentiousness and immorality. The ministers in the court have different intentions, and the generals are at odds. This is the country's great trouble. The gentleman's kindness to Li Mu is as heavy as a mountain, but Li Mu will repay his kindness with revenge!"

"More importantly, when Qin and Zhao went to war, it was the 40 people of Zhao who suffered. Sir, you should think about the people of Zhao!"

Only then did Zhao Gao throw out a large sum of money, relying on reason and emotion. Now Guo Kai was no longer calm, his eyes widened, and he slowly unfolded the royal edict, as if he was holding the supreme power in his hands with joy.

"The one who knows me is the King of Qin!"

Guo Kai shook the edict of the king's order, and burst into a smile: "Li Mu is a serious problem for the Qin army, and I will get rid of Li Mu, a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, for the king of Qin!"

The corners of Zhao Gao's mouth gradually widened from a small smile, and finally turned into a wanton laugh: "Sir, take care of the overall situation and contribute to the unification of the Chinese nation. You are a true hero!"

A few days later, the suspension bridge at the north gate of Handan City was rumbled down, and Zhao Cong and Yan Ju led three hundred guards from the imperial city to the border of Qin and Zhao to capture the soldier amulets of Li Mu and Sima Shang.

It is a taboo for military strategists to change generals before the battle.

As in history, Li Mu refused to hand over military power and was framed by Guo Kai in a secret trap. Sima Shang abandoned it and appointed Zhao Cong and Yan Ju, two armchair generals.

After Qin Wangzheng, who was far away in Zhangtai Palace, learned the news, he immediately issued an edict: "Encircle three groups and destroy Zhao in one fell swoop!"

In the camp outside the pass, the morale of the three armies who received the imperial edict from the Qin Dynasty was high. Inside the camp, Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe negotiated and divided their troops into two groups to encircle Handan and join forces with the Qin army who had gone north from South Korea.

Wang Ben and Qiang Yu were the vanguard generals of the two Qin armies.

At the same time, Zhang Han's machinery has been completed. If Zhao Jun holds on to the barrier, Zhang Han's large-scale construction machinery can come in handy.

The supply general Ma Xing has prepared the rations for the 30 troops, which is enough for the whole army to feed for the first half of the year.

And half a year is more than enough to destroy Zhao!
The battle flags were fluttering, the smoke was rising, and the three-way army led the army to the north. During the four-month Cuju training, the Qin army had come out of the haze of last year's defeat, trying to wipe out the Zhao army in one go.

However, after several years of holding on to the barrier for several years, the Zhao army was slack in morale and had almost no confidence to fight the Qin army in a decisive battle. Faced with the Qin army's fierce offensive, the Zhao army fought and retreated.

Wang Jian personally led a new army of [-], and the team cooperated tacitly, and launched a battle with Zhao Jun in the mountains where the snow had not disappeared.

Zhao Cong didn't like to defend the city. Instead, he felt that the Qin army was exhausted after traveling thousands of miles. Now that they went out to fight in the city, they would definitely be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, Wang Jian was very cunning and adopted a roundabout outflanking strategy.

Zhao Guo's last elite army has been completely disintegrated since then.

Yang Duanhe and Li Xin approached Handan, the capital of Zhao, like walking on flat ground. Wang Jian also followed the pace and quickly came to the outside of Handan.

30 troops gathered outside the city of Handan, and the Qin army was as black as a black cloud. The dense army made the city of Handan panic.

All the ministers of the court went to Zhao Wang's bedroom to inform Zhao Wangqian. Unfortunately, Zhao Wangqian was still sweating profusely on the bed to reward Hu Ji. Zhao Wangqian was dumbfounded when he heard the news, fell from the bed, and shouted in panic. : "Where is Prime Minister Guo? Where is Dr. Han?"

[ps: Doctor Han is Han Cang, the mastermind who framed Li Mu, and is as big a traitor as Guo Kai]

When he learned that Guo Kai and Han Cang had defected from the city, Zhao Wangqian's pupils were dilated, as if struck by lightning, he was overshadowed, and smiled to the sky: "The widow is the king of subjugation!"

Many days later, Zhao Wangqian led all the civil and military officials to surrender one after another, presented letters of surrender, and surrendered Zhao's land thousands of miles away.

Qin Wangzheng, who was thousands of miles away, went to Handan City in person, and after executing all those who framed him back then, he called to the world: Zhao Guo perish!
