Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

And once this place is captured, Qi State can also border Lu State from the southeast, thus creating new conditions for destroying Lu State, a stubborn old neighbor.

If these were not enough to move Qi Wangjian's heart, then what Hou Sheng said next really became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Your Majesty, don't forget, this is also the Queen Mother's wish!"

This sentence exploded in Qi Wangjian's ears like a thunderbolt, and immediately reminded Qi Wangjian of what his mother and queen said a while ago.

"If Qin is strong, then Qi will have no worries; if Zhao is strong, then Qi will be destroyed soon!"

If you don't want to be oppressed by the new overlord Zhao, then Lian Qin is the only way out for Qi!

Qi Wangjian took a deep breath, raised his head, and for the first time showed a firm expression on his young face, and said in a deep voice: "Listen, all ministers, I have decided to fight against Qin and Chu, and gather troops today!"

Qi Wangjian's words immediately had the final effect.

Many ministers of the Qi State who had been watching from the side leaned over and saluted: "Wei."

Qi Wangjian's eyes fell on Zhou Fen: "Zhou Qing, do you have any objections?"

Zhou Fen looked at the triumphant Tian Yan, gritted his teeth with hatred, but he also had to bend down: "I have no objection."

Following Zhou Fen's surrender, the entire Qi Kingdom finally came to a unified understanding, officially joining the big stage of the Warring States hegemony again after several years of silence!

Chapter 225 Zhao Dan seems to hear bad news (second update)

June 259, 10 BC.

Zhao Dan was sitting on the throne, not in a good mood.

In fact, Zhao Dan was really not in a good mood.

Zhao Dan said to Miao Xian who was on the side: "Miao Qing, please tell Zhu Qing about the news you just received."

Miao Xian responded, and then said to many important ministers of Zhao State present: "A few days ago, the Huns surrounded Yuanyang and were besieging Yuanyang City. Besides, according to the latest information from the front line, the number of Huns going south this time is not The previously estimated [-], but a total of [-] cavalry!"

As soon as Miao Xian said these words, the Zhao Guo ministers present couldn't help being surprised.

Fifty thousand cavalry, this only represents one thing, that is, this time the Xiongnu did not come to plunder casually as usual, but to play the real thing, to play the big one!

Yu Xin couldn't help frowning, apparently puzzled: "Why is this Hun so crazy? Could it be that he wants to fight Zhao Guo to death?"

You must know that Zhao State has maintained peace with the northern nomads for a long time in these years. Of course, there have always been small-scale frictions, but large-scale wars have occurred for the first time in the past ten years.

What happened to the Huns?

Miao Xian quickly gave the answer: "According to reports from the Linhu Department, last year the grasslands were extremely snowy, and many Huns' population and livestock were starved to death in large numbers. This is why the Huns went south in such a large scale."

Upon hearing Miao Xian's words, all the Zhao people present couldn't help but have subtle expressions.

What the hell, you Huns were hit by a snowstorm, so you came to our Zhao country to fight the autumn wind?

A bit too much, big brother!What is our country of Zhao, the captain of the transportation team?

Among them, Zhao Dan was in the most unhappy mood.

Zhao Dan knew very well about the scourge of the Huns.

In Zhao Dan's original idea, he planned to wait until the whole of China was unified before finding a way to solve the scourge of the Huns. However, what Zhao Dan never thought was that people are not as good as heaven, and the great cause of unification has not yet been tossed. It looks like, the Huns came to the door first.

What is the concept of fifty thousand cavalry?A comparison can be made with the military strength of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he attacked the Huns in history.

In the fifth year of Yuanguang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the four armies of Wei Qing, Gongsun He, Gongsun Ao, and Li Guang launched a conquest against the Xiongnu. Each army had [-] cavalry, for a total of [-] cavalry.

In the first year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing was a general of chariots and cavalry. He went out of Yanmen, and [-] cavalry attacked the Xiongnu.

In the fifth year of Yuanshuo, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing led [-] riders out of Gaoque to surprise the Youxian King of the Huns, and captured more than ten young Hun kings and more than [-] of his subordinates, including millions of livestock, and returned with troops.

From Wei Qing's few battle examples, it can be seen that even the Han Empire, which was powerful at the time and occupied the entire land of China, could only use [-] to [-] cavalry for a single dispatch.

But now on the northern border of Zhao State, there are a full [-] Huns cavalry!

This is undoubtedly a huge threat to Zhao Guo.

As soon as Zhao's ministers heard the news, some people couldn't sit still and suggested: "Your Majesty, it is better to transfer General Lian Po to the north to take charge of the northern war."

Due to his victory in the Battle of Changping, Lian Po is undoubtedly the number one general of Zhao State today, and he is also the first choice of Zhao State as the main general when he encounters a war.

Zhao Dan didn't pick up the conversation, but said to Miao Xian, "Has the Lin Hu Department elected a new king?"

"Exactly." Miao Xian nodded and said, "The old king of the Linhu tribe died of illness three months ago. Afterwards, all the sons fought in chaos. Now the new king is the youngest son of the old king."

After a pause, Miao Xian continued: "However, according to what the new king said, the Lin Hu tribe suffered heavy losses due to civil strife, so they cannot send troops to assist Zhao Ye for the time being."

After hearing this, Yu Xin couldn't help but sneered, and said, "I'm afraid it's not because of the heavy losses, but because the new King Lin Hu wants to sit back and watch Zhao Guo and the Xiongnu fight to the death."

The Zhao Guo ministers who were present looked at each other, and they all agreed with Yu Xin's conjecture.

Lou Chang said: "The King Lin Hu is a Hu after all, the stubborn people refuse to accept Wang Hua, they are so vacillating, the king should send troops to destroy him!"

When Zhao Dan heard this, he couldn't help shrugging his shoulders, thinking that the Huns can't handle it now, and you still want someone to beat Lin Hu?Wouldn't you be happy if you let the entire prairie fight Zhao Guo?

Zhao Dan didn't pick up the conversation either, and motioned for Miao Xian to continue.

So Miao Xian continued: "According to the secret report of Wei Guo's spies, a few days ago, a Qin envoy secretly entered the palace, and then Wei Wuji entered the palace to meet Wei Wangyu. Maybe they are preparing to join Qin to attack Chu."

"Wei Guolian Qin attacked Chu?" The news immediately caused waves among Zhao Guo's ministers.

Si Kou Zhao Bao's face was gloomy, and he snorted heavily: "Wei Wangyu has only formed an alliance with Zhao Guo for less than half a year, but now he even joins Qin and attacks Chu, it's simply abominable!"

Zhao Sheng was also full of displeasure, and said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, why don't you raise troops to attack Wei, so that Wei Wangyu will know what will happen if you break the alliance!"

Zhao Dan frowned when he heard the words, and after a while, he said slowly: "Wei Wangyu's actions are certainly abominable. But you must not forget that Qin is now the enemy of Zhao! Miao Qing, what is the matter with Qin?" Change?"

To be honest, it is quite difficult to infiltrate Qin.

After Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State was built into a very strict state machine from top to bottom. Except for fighting, basically you can't leave the place where you live at will for the rest of your life.

Coupled with Qin's strict restrictions on merchants, there are not many people doing business in Qin, which makes any outsider very conspicuous, and is very easy to be discovered by Qin's spy organization.

Fortunately, Hu Yiwei has another person who can provide cover, Lu Buwei.

Zhao Yiren has returned to the state of Qin and changed his name to Zhao Zichu, and Lu Buwei has also become the number one celebrity around Zhao Zichu.

It was with the help of Lu Buwei that Zhao Guo still made progress in infiltrating Qin.

Miao Xiandao: "Returning to Your Majesty, the Qin State has already mobilized troops on a large scale, sending out all the soldiers from Bashu, the number should be around 20, and Wang Lu will go out of Wuguan to attack Chu!"

Thanks to the information from Lu Buwei, the information this time can be said to be quite detailed.
