Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

But no matter what, as long as the state of Chu has not collapsed to the end, it will be good news for Zhao Dan.

Thinking about it, Zhao Dan couldn't help reaching out and rubbing his temples.

Damn, it's really hard to be a king.

Especially in such an environment where there are great disputes and enemies on all sides, as a monarch, you don't know how many brain cells you have to die every day.

Zhao Dan thought for a while, then asked Miao Xian in front of him, "How is the situation in Anyi?"

Miao Xian replied: "According to General Lian Po's report, there are about 20 to [-] Qin troops in Anyi at the moment, and they are confronting the main force of the coalition forces."

"What?" Zhao Dan was a little surprised: "Where did Qin Wangji get so many soldiers?"

Although it has always been known that Anyi has already sent reinforcements from the Qin State, it was the first time that the Hedong battlefield sent definite information about the number of Qin troops in Anyi.

Miao Xian replied: "According to Xianyang Lu Buwei's secret report, King Ji of Qin has already sent all the soldiers and horses he can muster to Anyi, just to defend Hedong County."

Zhao Dan understood it as soon as he heard it, good boy, this old man Qin Wangji has started to gamble his life again.

Judging from the Battle of Changping, the Qin State had about 60 soldiers, and about 20 casualties in the Battle of Changping, so the remaining troops of the Qin State are about 40.

At this moment, Qin State has 25 troops fighting in Chu State, plus the 20 to 40 troops in Anyi, which is almost [-].

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help laughing: "This Qin Wangji really dares to bet."

However, even if King Ji of Qin sent out an all-powerful army this time, Zhao Dan was not as nervous as he was during the Battle of Changping.

After all, the main force of the Qin State is fighting with the people of the Chu State for life and death. The three-Jin coalition army led by Lian Po is nothing more than some scumbag troops of the Qin State.

At this time, Zhao Dan felt that he seemed to have begun to grasp Qin Wangji's weakness.

impatient.

Yes, this king of Qin, who can be called a wise king of a generation, finally inevitably began to become irritable under the pressure of the years and the fear of death approaching every step of the way.

In the Battle of Changping, Qin State raised all its troops to attack Zhao, which is actually a manifestation of such impatience.

Otherwise, Qin Wangji can completely occupy the South Shangdang first, and then continue to destroy South Korea and then Xutu North Shangdang.

The reason why Qin Wangji didn't do this was that on the one hand, he was unwilling to be taken advantage of by Zhao Guobai, and on the other hand, there must have been factors in it that he wanted to defeat Zhao in World War I and completely establish the situation of Qin's family dominance.

This impatience was not relieved by the Battle of Changping, but became more intense because of the failure of the Battle of Changping.

Therefore, after learning that the Xiongnu went south to Zhao State and was forced to attack, Qin Wangji didn't even have the patience to wait until the Huns and Zhao State had a winner, and then began to attack Chu State in a hurry, wanting to steal the southeast of Chu State as soon as possible. The two counties took it back.

This unrestrained performance fully reflected Qin Wangji's impatience.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, King Ji of Qin did not hesitate to bet on all the strength of the Qin State again, and dispatched all the troops that could be dispatched to Hedong County, just to stop the advance of the Three Jin coalition forces.

In Zhao Dan's view, the outcome of the current battle actually lies in who will be the first to fail, Chu or Qin.

If the state of Chu collapses first, then the state of Qin will not only be able to retake the two counties in the southeast, but also hope that by virtue of the victory, they will unite in diplomacy and collapse the alliance of the three Jins formed by the state of Zhao.

Considering the existence of Wei Guo, a rebellious boy, such a thing is not impossible.

If that were the case, the situation would instantly change from Zhao Han Wei Chu vs Qin Qi to Zhao Han vs Qin Qi Wei, and the balance of power would be reversed in an instant.

This is also what Zhao Dan has been most worried about.

Some people are going to say, you think this alliance is a child's play, today is on Zhao's side, tomorrow is on Qin's side?

Yes, the alliance in the Warring States Period was such a joke, otherwise how did the idiom "chao Qin Mu Chu" come from?

Judging from this idiom, in the morning it is Qin's side and in the evening it becomes Chu's side. In fact, there is no need to stay overnight.

But judging from another result, if the Allied Forces of the Three Jins took the lead in taking Hedong County before the collapse of Chu State, then the whole situation would be completely different.

Because as long as Hedong County is taken down, Guanzhong, the headquarters of the Qin State, will be directly exposed to the main force of the Three-Jin Allied Forces.

Unless Qin Wangji is tired of life, otherwise, he must order the main force of the Qin army to retreat to rescue Guanzhong.

In this way, the pressure on the west side of Chu State will be gone in an instant.

Next, Zhao Dan has a lot of room to operate. He can not only send Chu's 20 troops to the east to deal with Qi, but also let Chu's troops attack Qin from Wuguan. Together, they form a situation where the two sides are in the middle of tackling key problems.

The initiative of the entire battlefield was now in the hands of Zhao Guo, and Zhao Dan could lead Qin Wangji away by the nose.

To put it bluntly, as long as Zhao Guo wins Hedong before Chu collapses, it will definitely not lose money!

So Zhao Dan felt that Lian Po couldn't be bothered anymore, and he had to quickly settle the war in Hedong County.

After thinking about it, Zhao Dan picked up a pen and quickly wrote an order.

Just as he was about to hand over the letter to Miao Xian, Zhao Dan suddenly paused.

"By the way, call Han Fei here."

Chapter 3 Han Fei's Inspiration to Zhao Dan (fourth update)

A moment later, Han Fei appeared in front of Zhao Dan.

The reason why Han Fei was called was because Zhao Dan felt that Han Fei had been in charge of the staff office for a while, and that even if it was just talking on paper, he should be able to come up with something that could fool people.

Although the current state of Zhao has great achievements, Zhao Dan's subordinates do not support idlers.

After the establishment of an organization, if it proves useless to Zhao Guo's current struggle for hegemony, then Zhao Dan doesn't mind abolishing the staff office at all.

Anyway, it's just an experiment, if it doesn't work, it won't do any harm to Zhao Guo, just try something else.

After all, although the system of later generations must be advanced, sometimes it may be too advanced and may not meet the needs of Zhao Guo today. This is the so-called "too big a step."

But for now, Zhao Dan is quite confident in the staff office and Han Fei's personal ability.

After all, in Han Feizi's book, he said that "a gentleman is not tired of loyalty and trustworthiness, and he is not tired of deception in battle", and he quoted a lot of ancient and modern battle examples to explain Han Fei's own thoughts.

This is enough to prove that Han Fei's understanding of war is actually quite profound, at least on paper, he has his own set of things.

If Han Fei really didn't know anything about war, then Zhao Dan wouldn't be able to let him take charge of the work of the staff office. Of course, Zhao Dan understood basic things like Weicai.

As soon as he saw Han Fei, Zhao Dan was taken aback.

Since he has been in charge of the staff office recently, although Han Fei has the name of servant, he has not appeared in front of Zhao Dan for a while.

In Zhao Dan's memory, Han Fei was a handsome and elegant young man, the kind who would be fine as long as he didn't speak.

But Han Fei, who appeared in front of Zhao Dan at this moment, looked much more haggard than the previous few days, with two big dark circles on his face, looking like a giant panda, obviously he hadn't slept for a long time Had a good night's sleep.

"Han Fei has seen the king!" Han Fei staggered and almost fell when he saluted.
