Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Dan walked quickly, and soon came to the room just now.

Sure enough, Mr. Pingyuan Zhao Sheng had already woken up, and was sipping the medicinal soup under the company of his wife.

After seeing Zhao Dan coming, everyone immediately stopped everything in their hands and saluted Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan heaved a sigh of relief and smiled: "Mr. Pingyuan, seeing that you are fine, I am at ease."

What Zhao Dan said really came from the heart.

Zhao Sheng looked quite weak, coughed a few times with difficulty, and then said: "Old minister, I have something to say to the king."

Zhao Dan hurriedly said: "Mr. Pingyuan should take good care of his illness. Let's talk about anything after he recovers."

Zhao Sheng shook his head and said, "No, I must tell the king immediately."

Zhao Dan had no choice but to let everyone leave.

"Mr. Pingyuan, why is there such an urgency?"

Zhao Sheng took a few breaths with difficulty, and then said: "My lord, although I have survived this time, I have a feeling that I am afraid that I don't have much time to continue serving the king."

Looking at the haggard and old Zhao Sheng in front of him, Zhao Dan couldn't help feeling sad.

In Zhao Dan's impression, how high-spirited Zhao Sheng was when he was appointed Xiangbang at the beginning of the year, but now Zhao Sheng has become a frail old man with white hair lying on the sick bed.

For a long time, this Lord Pingyuan, Zhao Sheng, was considered to be the mediocre one among the four gentlemen of the Warring States Period. He was inferior to Lord Mengchang in terms of employing people, inferior to Lord Xinling in terms of military strategy, and inferior to Lord Chunshen in terms of his contribution to helping the young master.

Even Zhao Dan himself once thought of replacing Zhao Sheng with Yu Xin.

However, judging from the past ten years, Zhao's national strength is booming, and it has continuously won victories externally. Internally, the entire domestic environment is also very stable. The national strength has continued to increase, and various industries have developed in an orderly manner. But relatively speaking, the control is at a relatively mild stage, so that Zhao Guo did not stop expanding outward due to internal strife.

Although Zhao Dan, the helmsman, is the most important factor, but Zhao Sheng, as the great steward of Zhao Guo, also contributed a lot.

It is not difficult to be a sharp-edged person, but it is difficult to be a person who can unite everyone.

If anyone were to sit in Zhao Sheng's position, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do better than Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Dan couldn't help holding Zhao Sheng's hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Pingyuan, you don't need to worry too much. These days, you can rest in the mansion to recover from illness, and come back to help the widow when you are well. The widow can't live without you, and the country of Zhao can't live without you." Lord Pingyuan!"

Zhao Sheng smiled wryly, and said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to comfort me. I know how your body is."

When Zhao Sheng said this, he suddenly coughed with difficulty.

After coughing, Zhao Sheng continued to speak: "The secret report that the king gave to the minister a while ago, the minister has already sent someone to verify it. The relevant information should be collected soon, and the king will know when he sees it."

Zhao Dan froze for a moment, then subconsciously asked: "How is the situation?"

Zhao Sheng shook his head and said, "The situation is not very good."

Zhao Dan snorted heavily, and said: "I know that these guys' greed is endless!"

Zhao Sheng showed a wry smile, and said: "The king's words are scolding all the ministers."

Before Zhao Dan could continue to speak, Zhao Sheng said again: "My lord, I feel that although the matter has been investigated, it is not the time to act now."

Zhao Sheng's face was full of worry.

Zhao Dan let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Let's make a decision after seeing the specific situation."

Zhao Sheng shook his head laboriously, and said, "Your Majesty, you must be cautious about this matter, otherwise."

"The widow knows." Zhao Dan interrupted Zhao Sheng and said, "Okay, Mr. Pingyuan, rest well, the widow is going back to the palace."

Zhao Dan walked out of Zhao Sheng's room.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, Zhao Dan looked up subconsciously, and the bright moonlight cast down, bathing his whole figure in the moonlight.

Suddenly a group of dark clouds drifted slowly, just blocking the sight of the moon.

The darkness covered the earth again, and Zhao Dan's figure was also submerged in the shadows again.

Chapter 985 Li Mu Has a Bold Idea (First Update)

Jiameng Pass.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Li Mu couldn't help frowning.

This Jiameng Pass is located in the middle of the Shu Road, like a barrier that firmly blocked Li Mu's army.

As long as they break through here, there will be no obstacles for Zhao Jun to enter Shu.

The people of Qin clearly understood the importance of this pass, otherwise, Wei Liao would not have led most of Qin's troops to garrison here.

Although the state of Qin has conquered the land of Shu for decades, this pass has not been abandoned. Instead, it has been built several times, making it extraordinarily strong.

From Li Mu's point of view, Niutou Mountain is on the right side of this grand pass, and many flags of the Qin army are flying on the mountain. It is obvious that the Qin people also stationed an army there.

And at the foot of Niutou Mountain, there is the surging Jialing River, where it and the Bailong River converge. The two rivers and one mountain form a natural barrier, leaving Zhao Jun with no choice but to face the narrow pass and the tall pass wall.

Pang Nuan stood beside Li Mu, and said with some concern, "Governor, this pass is not so easy to overcome."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Indeed."

Although Qin State conquered Bashu, this does not mean that the land of Bashu has always been very obedient to Qin State.

In fact, in these short decades, there have been several large-scale rebellions in Bashu alone, which even once affected Qin's external expansion.

In order to quickly mobilize troops and resources between Guanzhong and Bashu, Qin State expanded the Jinniu Road several times to make this road easier to pass.

It was also thanks to the efforts of the Qin people that Li Mu's army was able to reach Jiameng Pass so smoothly.

But after arriving at Jiameng Pass, everything is different.

Obviously, the leaders of the Qin State were thinking about the possibility of passing through the pass and then retreating to Bashu, so they also made some preparations here at Jiameng Pass for this possibility.

The originally wide Shu Road suddenly shortened after crossing the Jialing River, as if eight lanes had become two lanes in an instant.

As a result, if Zhao Jun wanted to attack under the pass wall, he first had to cross such an astonishingly narrow path that was hundreds of steps long.

And at the end of this trail is the tall pass wall of Jiameng Pass. Qin Jun only needs to place a strong bow and crossbow on the pass wall, and Zhao Jun can suffer heavy losses on this unshielded charge.

This is not the end yet, we must know that apart from the front Jiameng Pass, there is also the Niutoushan on the right side of Jiameng Pass which is also a big problem.

The flags and tents of the Qin Army on Niutou Mountain were obviously not for display. Li Mu was completely convinced that once his troops attacked the front of Jiameng Pass, the Qin Army troops on Niutou Mountain would definitely He will also condescendingly attack Zhao Jun's research troops from the flanks.

Li Mu was silent for a moment, and said, "It's really difficult."

Pang Nuan couldn't help but stare, it's very, very difficult, okay, you Li Mu actually said it was just "somewhat difficult?"
