Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

If it wasn't for finding out who leaked the secret, or even having few people to suspect right now, Qin Wangji would have started killing people long ago.

As soon as Qin Wangji spoke, all the courtiers present immediately leaned over and said in unison: "No." Then they all retreated.

After Zhao Guo and Zhao Dan attacked repeatedly, Qin Wangji and Fan Sui, a pair of monarchs and ministers, finally led Qin to launch a fierce counterattack!

Chapter 51 Second meeting (1)

Handan Miyagi, Longtai.

After more than a month of diplomatic activities, Zhao Dan and his five ministers gathered in Longtai again.

But the atmosphere this time is obviously different from the last time when Zhao Dan just crossed over.

The atmosphere of the last meeting was more or less depressing. After all, the soldiers of the Qin army were suppressing the country, and Zhao Guo was worried about internal troubles, so these big bosses of Zhao Guo couldn't help but not worry.

But now it's different.

Now the good news of Qi State borrowing food and Chu State sending troops has spread. Although Zhao State is still on the defensive on the front line of Changping and is stalemate with the Qin army, but because of the success of diplomatic cooperation, Zhao State has changed from a disadvantaged position in one fell swoop. For the advantage.

In addition, those who speak confidently in the hall have also changed a faction.

Yu Xin, with a wide robe and big sleeves, sat upright on his knees, radiant and eloquent, and talked eloquently: "The 20 troops of the Chu army have encircled Wancheng, and it will be conquered in a short time. If Wancheng is broken, then Danyang and Dengcheng will also be defeated sooner or later." Now, with the fall of Nanyang County of the Qin army, Nanjun County is also in danger, Qin Wangji must not sit idly by, and our army on the Changping line will surely usher in a turning point."

Yu Xin's voice was so loud that it spread throughout the hall.

Of course, Zhao Guoshangqing had a reason to speak so loudly, because Yu Xin's envoy was the one who facilitated Chu's dispatch of troops. Of course, he had the capital to show off.

Why can't I show off the achievements I have made by my ability?Not only do you have to show off, but you also have to show off loudly, so that the King, the entire Zhao Kingdom, and everyone in the world will know that this is the work of Yu Xin!

It's not just Yu Xin, even Lin Xiangru who is sitting beside Yu Xin has a smile on his face.

As the leader of the commoner faction, Lin Xiangru was under tremendous pressure a while ago. Lian Po's defeat in Changping gave the Gongzu faction an excuse to criticize wildly, and once made the commoner faction unable to lift its head in Zhao Guochaotang.

But when Yu Xin and Zhao Sheng returned from their respective missions to Wei and Chu, everything was completely different.

The leader of the Gongzu faction, Zhao Sheng, set off with confidence, and then ended up in a mess. Wei Guo denied Zhao Sheng's request with almost no twists and turns, which made Zhao Sheng and the Gongzu faction lose face.

On the other hand, Yu Xin from the commoner faction, after he went to Chu as an envoy, he succeeded immediately, and immediately moved 20 Chu troops. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that when you fail, there is a successful person standing by your side in stark contrast to you, and what is even more terrifying is that this successful person is your political enemy

At this moment, the Gongzu faction is like a child who barely passed the exam with 98 points. He has just returned home in despair. The child showed off loudly: "Dad, I got [-] points in the test this time!"

This kind of "other people's child" is really the most annoying thing!

At this moment, Zhao Guo Xiangbang Zhao Sheng sat there very depressed, looking at the proud Yu Xin, he felt really uncomfortable.

With the return of Yu Xin and the mission, what happened at the court meeting of the Chu State had already been widely spread, not to mention the high-level officials of the Zhao State, and now even more than half of the people in Handan City know about the strong man. The story of how Mao Sui went to the palace with his sword to persuade the king of Chu.

What made Zhao Sheng want to vomit blood was that this Mao Sui was originally Zhao Sheng's own disciple, but now he helped Yu Xin make such a great contribution, what a deal.

Although it is said that Mao Sui was asked by Zhao Dan from Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng did not have any dissatisfaction with Zhao Dan because of this.

The reason is very simple. Although Zhao Dan did help Yu Xin with Mao Sui, don't forget that Zhao Dan also specially instructed Zhao Sheng when Zhao Sheng was on an envoy, which means he also gave Zhao Sheng an idea. , and did not favor Yu Xin alone.

Yu Xin reused Mao Sui sent by Zhao Dan, and with Mao Sui's help, he successfully completed the task.Zhao Sheng did not obey Zhao Dan's instructions, and the mission failed.

If you think about it from this angle, if Zhao Sheng had listened to Zhao Dan, would he have great hope of success?

So seeing Yu Xin like this now, Zhao Sheng felt so regretful that he was about to bleed: "If I could listen to the king's words that day, how could this Yu Xin be so successful and behave like this, it is really pissing me off! "

But there is no medicine for regret in this world, so no matter how regretful Zhao Sheng feels in his heart, he can only watch the high-spirited Yu Xin pointing out the country and pretending to be B.

Zhao Dan, who was at the top, took in the different expressions of Yu Xin and Zhao Sheng, and couldn't help but feel amused in his heart, but most of them were speechless.

After all, as a traverser, Zhao Dan was very aware of the impact of the Battle of Changping. For Zhao Guo, this was definitely a battle that he could not afford to lose.

Now that the three countries joined forces, it is true that they have gained the upper hand, but if Zhao Sheng does not insist on obeying Zhao Dan's instructions, then the four countries will attack Qin now, and then the battle will be really sure.

So Zhao Dan was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Sheng's failure in his heart. Such an important matter was messed up, it was simply a trap!

Zhao Sheng's failure also sounded the alarm for Zhao Dan. Although the Lord Pingyuan has always been famous and loyal to Zhao Dan, it is obvious that Zhao Sheng's ability is relatively limited, so let Zhao Sheng continue to stay. In this position of Zhao Guoxiangbang, it seems that it is not a good decision.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but look at Lin Xiangru on the other side, feeling a little pity in his heart.

Although Lin Xiangru is capable enough to replace Zhao Sheng as the Xiangbang, Zhao Dan, as a time traveler, knows that Lin Xiangru's life is about to come to an end, and if nothing happens, he may not survive this year

In just over a month, Lin Xiangru has become even older and haggard, as if he was ten years older. Even when he was kneeling and sitting there, his body was trembling slightly. Everyone knows that his time is numbered.

Zhao Sheng had a good candidate for Xiangbang in his heart, and that was Yu Xin who had successfully returned from his envoy to Chu State. Yu Xin was good at national strategic planning. It is suitable for Xiangbang, who is in charge of the overall situation.

If Lin Xiangru can live a few more years, Zhao Dan can completely let Lin Xiangru replace Zhao Sheng as Xiangbang, and then slowly cultivate his confidant Yu Xin to lay the foundation for Yu Xin's superior position.

Unfortunately, time is running out!Since Lin Xiangru was about to die, Zhao Sheng, Xiangbang, could not move.

Although Yu Xin can be regarded as Zhao Dan's candidate for future Prime Minister Zhao Dan, but after all, Yu Xin has low qualifications and few contacts, so he must give Yu Xin a few years to sharpen and cultivate power, and when Yu Xin has his own People and horses will serve as Xiangbang later, so that the handover of power can be completed smoothly without causing internal turmoil in Zhao Guo.

When Zhao Sheng replaced Tian Dan as Xiangbang, there was no disturbance. It was because Zhao Sheng already had half of the power of Xiangbang, so he was able to transition smoothly. But now Yu Xin does not have such a good foundation and conditions as Zhao Sheng. .

At such a critical moment when there are powerful enemies outside, the interior of Zhao State must be stabilized, and any trace of turmoil is unacceptable to Zhao Dan.

After much deliberation, Zhao Dan had no choice but to give up his plan to remove Zhao Sheng's phase.

But fortunately, this is not the theme of Zhao Dan's meeting today. When Yu Xin is about to show up there, Zhao Sheng's face is getting darker and darker, and he will soon be the same color as the bottom of the pot. As the king, Zhao Dan finally coughed in a timely manner, and refocused everyone's attention on himself.

"Everyone, let's get back to the topic, let's talk about the affairs of Yan and Wei."

Chapter 52 Second meeting (2)

Diplomatic issues have always been the top priority for Zhao Guo now.

The founding fathers once said such a sentence: "In the process of struggle, we must pay attention to uniting the majority and attacking the small group." Zhao Dan deeply believed in this sentence.

As the second child of Zhao Guo's Seven Heroes, Mao rashly jumped out to face the big brother Qin Guo, and then engage in a lose-lose situation like the result of the Changping Battle in history?This is very stupid behavior.

It doesn't matter if you can't beat you single-handedly, I'll call someone, let's fight in groups.I can't beat one, but I can't beat five?

More than 20 years ago, the land of King Min of Qi annexed the State of Song, which made the Qi State at that time the same momentum, and it was truly number one in the world, right?Then Qi State was attacked by the Five Kingdoms and was beaten by other six countries. If it weren't for Youtian Dan, even the country would be destroyed.

Now Feng Shui turns, and it's Qin Guo's turn to be the boss.But can Qin Guo, the boss, deal with the gang fights led by the second brother Zhao Guo?Obviously it is not possible, because compared with the Qi State of the past, the current Qin State is actually a country on the same level.Strong is strong, but not to the point of crushing.

Today's Zhao State is undoubtedly at a disadvantage in terms of national power, so Zhao Dan believes that if he wants to overthrow Qin State, then the principle of "uniting most of the other five countries and attacking a small number of Qin States" must be persisted for a long time go down.

Under such a premise, the diplomatic movements of Wei and Yan, which have not yet joined the anti-Qin alliance, are worthy of attention.

Of course, Zhao Dan had already made separate arrangements in advance, and now he has recruited several ministers, mainly because the situation of the two countries, mainly Yan, has changed again.

Two days ago, Kuai Ma from Yan State brought back a secret letter written by Pang Nuan, who was the envoy of Zhao State to Yan State. In the letter, Pang Nuan briefly described his mission. It can be seen that King Yan is obviously not too cold about Pang Nuan, the envoy of Zhao State.
