Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

After hearing Zi Chu's words, Mi Chen and Cai Ze also wisely stopped their quarrel and turned their attention to Lu Buwei.

As for Zi Chu's problem, Lu Buwei had already expected it, and immediately said to Zi Chu: "Prince, in my opinion, there is only one way to save the situation."

Zi Chu hurriedly asked, "What's the plan?"

Lu Buwei replied: "I ask the crown prince to quickly recall Lord Wu An so that Lord Wu An can meet Li Mu!"

As soon as Lu Buwei said these words, the other three people in the hall were instantly stunned.

Want to recall Bai Qi?

Mi Chen frowned, and was the first to express his objection: "Wei Wei's words are probably inappropriate. Now that Lord Wu'an is plundering the city in Hedong County, seeing that Hedong will return to Daqin's hands soon, Wouldn't bringing Lord Wu'an back at this time mess up the minds of the soldiers on the Hedong frontline and cause another twists and turns in the battle on the frontline?"

Cai Ze also frowned, but didn't speak.

Zi Chu looked at Mi Chen with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Lu Buwei glanced at Mi Chen, smiled and said: "Mr. Yangquan, Hedong is certainly important, but Guanzhong is the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty. If the people in Guanzhong are made miserable by this Li Mu, then what's the use of taking Hedong? And I heard that After defeating Chen Ying, Lian Po has already led his army northward to help Hedong in the starry night, and it will not be so easy to take Hedong County from Zhao Guoren."

Mi Chen snorted, and glared at Lu Buwei with some displeasure.

In Mi Chen's view, since Zhen Xiangbang has already objected, then Ru Lu Buwei should shut up obediently. Not only do you not shut up but you dare to refute now, don't you want to mess around?

Lu Buwei is also a little upset in his heart. I, Lu Buwei, have worked so hard to befriend Ru Michen in the past few years. Being Ru's younger brother is also a matter of dedication. This is the first time I have formally participated in a major national event and only raised an opinion. You just jumped out and slapped me in the face, isn't that a little too much?

In just a few breaths, the gap between Lu Buwei and Mi Chen immediately deepened a lot.

Cai Ze sat on the sidelines and looked at this and then that, suddenly his heart moved, he thought of some way, and a smile appeared on his old face immediately.

The young Zi Chu didn't think so much, but after listening to the debate between Lu Buwei and Mi Chen, he felt even more confused.

What Mi Chen said is indeed reasonable. Now that the Weihan passage has also been taken, Hedong County will soon be acquired. It is the most critical moment of the whole battle. Basically everything was brought back.

But now Lian Po is coming to Hedong, which is a big trouble.

Li Mu is still raging in Guanzhong, which is another big trouble.

Putting two troubles together, it can be said to be quite, very troublesome.

Zi Chu knocked on the table with some annoyance, and suddenly found that he couldn't solve any troubles.

How to do?

At this moment, Cai Ze's voice sounded: "Prince, I have a plan."

When Zi Chu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his head.

Among the three Qin ministers present, Mi Chen is Zi Chu's uncle, Lu Buwei and Zi Chu are both teachers and friends, and they are much closer than Cai Ze.

However, Zi Chu can't control all these things when the fire is imminent. A courtier who can solve the problem is a good courtier.

After all, it's not like Lu Buwei and Mi Chen were given a chance before.

So Zi Chu opened his mouth and urged: "What clever plan does Mr. Gang Cheng have, tell me quickly!"

Cai Ze said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that there is a tribe named Yueshi in the west of Shuofang County? A few years ago, the Yueshi went east and suffered a big loss at the hands of Li Mu. The Yueshi King must have a grudge against this."

"Now that Li Mu is leading the main force of Zhao's cavalry to go south to Guanzhong, the defenses of Zhao's Shuofang and Hetao counties must be empty. Your Majesty only needs to send envoys to Yuezhi and his party. King Yuezhi will definitely send troops eastward to attack Zhao's two counties for revenge."

"If Li Mu hears the news of the Yue Clan's eastward advance, whether he wants to or not, he must go north and return to defense. In this way, there will be no worries in Guanzhong, and Lord Wu An can stay in Hedong County and concentrate on fighting against Lian Po. Isn't that right? The best of both worlds?"

After saying these words, Cai Ze stroked his beard triumphantly, looked at Zi Chu in front of him with a smile, and waited for Zi Chu's reply.

Zi Chu slapped his thigh, and couldn't help but praise: "Your words, Mr. Gang Cheng, are very kind!"

Mi Chen glanced at Lu Buwei, and agreed with Cai Ze's opinion in an extremely rare way: "Prince, Mr. Gang Cheng's plan is very clever, I think it is really feasible."

Lu Buwei opened his mouth, but in the end he held back his objection, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Whether it's Mi Chen or Cai Ze, they are all old courtiers with deep roots in Qin's political arena. As long as the two join hands, Lu Buwei will have no strength to resist at all.

It seems that if you want to completely control the situation in Qin State, you must first get rid of these two guys, at least one of them.

Chapter 572 Summer Meeting (First Update)

Handan.

Handan in midsummer is very hot, God is very fair, no matter whether it is Zhao Dan who is the king, or the civilians of Zhao State who live in Handan City, they are treated equally.

For this summer, the poor have the way of the poor, and the king has the way of the king.

Zhao Dan, the monarch, had a very comfortable summer.

Two court maids stood on both sides of Zhao Dan, holding palm-leaf fans as tall as a man, sending Zhao Dan a cool breeze.

There was a serving of iced sour plum soup on the table in front of him. One sip of it was sour and refreshing, and most of the heat was dispelled immediately.

For nobles, thinking about anything is more important than thinking about enjoyment, so things like ice cellars naturally came into being.

According to Xia Xiaozheng's records, as early as the Xia Dynasty, the monarch often gave ice cubes to scholar-bureaucrats as rewards in summer.

Although the ice cellar is definitely not as convenient as the refrigerators of later generations, but as Zhao Dan, it is really not a big problem to drink ice-cold drinks every day.

In addition to Zhao Dan, several Zhao Guozhong ministers present also served sour plum soup each.

But even the chilled sour plum soup that entered the throat could not resist the scorching heat from the hearts of these Zhao ministers at this moment.

The person who showed the most obvious performance is undoubtedly the genus Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng held a battle report that he just got in his hand and smiled at Zhao Dan: "My lord, I just received the news that the Qi army and the Yan army are in Linzi. A great battle broke out under the city, and finally the Qi army defeated the Yan army under the leadership of Kuang Liang. The Yan army coach Le Jian fled back to Yan with only tens of thousands of defeated soldiers. At least [-] Yan troops were wiped out by the Qi army. !"

When Zhao Dan heard the news, he felt very comfortable, as refreshing as drinking three bowls of sour plum soup.

Well, you Yan people, you don't listen to the widows, do you?Now you have learned your lesson!

Zhao Dan is gloating.

Zhao Dan has always kept in mind the Yan people's behavior of blatantly dragging Zhao's back during this battle.

Now that Yan State has suffered a great loss, Zhao Dan is naturally happy to see it succeed.

Zhao Dan thought for a while and asked, "How is the Qi army doing now?"

Zhao Sheng replied: "My lord, the Qi army is now taking advantage of the situation to go north, and has completely recovered all the land previously occupied by the people of Yan. According to the information sent back by the spies, the Qi army seems to be preparing to continue going north and attack the capital of Yan. Wuyang City."

"Wu Yang?" Zhao Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Could it be that Kuang Liang also wants to repeat what happened to his father Kuang Zhang back then?"

Decades ago, Kuang Liang's old father, Kuang Zhang, had attacked the country of Yan during the rebellion of the son of the country of Yan, and almost annexed the country of Yan.

Zhao Sheng shook his head, and said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, I think that the people of Qi State should just put on a show to scare the monarch and ministers of Yan State. It is estimated that as long as the people of Yan State pay some benefits, then the two countries of Qi State and Yan State should stop fighting. gone."
