Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Why?"

Zhao Sheng replied: "According to the rewards in Linzi City, because of Qi Wangjian's extravagance, Qi's finances are extremely tight now, and it is almost impossible to pay military salaries. Qi's fighters have always been dispatched only by money." , now that there is no money, then naturally this battle cannot be fought."

Only then did Zhao Dan understand, my good guy, I thought it was a food problem, but I didn't expect it to be a financial problem.

And according to what Zhao Sheng said, this financial problem was caused by Qi Wangjian himself.

Zhao Dan shook his head, thinking that a good monarch is really very important to the country. If Qi Wangjian can restrain himself a little while enjoying himself, wouldn't the Qi State be able to continue to expand its territory now?

After Zhao Sheng explained the affairs of Qi State, he took out another book from his desk, handed it to Zhao Dan respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent letter from Zheng Zhu from Xixi City. Report that the king of Chu has fully agreed to the conditions of the king, as long as the king uses the seal on this, then the peace negotiation will be completed."

Zhao Dan took the book in Zhao Sheng's hands, nodded after reading it for a long time, and said: "This is not unexpected, if this is the case, then let Le Cheng take over these lands first, Pingyuan Jun Ru waits to come up with a charter, let the officials settle in as soon as possible, so that these places can be restored as soon as possible."

Zhao Sheng naturally promised loudly.

After solving these two matters, Zhao Dan said again: "Is there any news from the front line of Hedong County?"

For Zhao Dan, the most important and crucial thing is always the news from Hedong County.

For Zhao Guo, Hedong County is the only remaining battlefield, and it is also a battlefield where Zhao Guo does not have an advantage.

Zhao Sheng replied: "Your Majesty, Pang Nuan's troops have arrived and are confronting the main force of the Qin Army led by Bai Qi. Although the Qin Army has attempted to attack many times in the past few days, it has not yet broken through our army's defense line."

Zhao Dan nodded slightly, and said to Zhao Sheng and several important ministers of Zhao State in front of him: "To be honest, I feel that I have underestimated Qin State a while ago, otherwise I would not have fallen into such a passive position."

Generally speaking, kings seldom criticize themselves. After all, they all think that the king's face is important.

But Zhao Dan doesn't have this problem, wrong is wrong and right is right, there is nothing wrong with it.

People can not escape from doing wrong.

If you can't even face your own mistakes, how can you correctly understand and correct such mistakes in the future?

As soon as Zhao Dan said these words, Zhao Sheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is due to the negligence of the ministers and others. I have not fulfilled the duty of reminding you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Dan waved his hand and said with a smile to Zhao Sheng: "Okay, let's not mention this, let's talk about the Hedong battlefield, how is the situation on Lianpo's side, have you arrived in Hedong now?"

Zhao Sheng replied: "My lord, now Lian Po has led the troops to Yiyang City."

"Yiyang?" Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "How could it be Yiyang City, shouldn't it be Yewang or Duanshi?"

According to Zhao Dan's idea, Lian Po should go north directly from South Korea, enter Baixing through Yewang and Duanshi City, and then go west from Baixing to reinforce Hedong County. "

Fortunately, Zhao Dan didn't know how many times he looked at the map these days, and he was familiar with the geography of the entire Hedong County, so he reacted immediately after a short while, saying: "Does Lian Po want to go to the map?" Attack Anyi and outflank Bai Qi's rear?"

Zhao Dan knew the route that Lian Po might choose, which was to cross the Yellow River north from Hangu Pass, cross Zhongtiao Mountain and enter Hedong County.

If this marching route can be successful, then Lian Po's troops will immediately appear under the city of Anyi.

The current Anyi is the rear of Qin's army.

Once Anyi is recovered, one of the Qin army's retreats will be cut off.

The Qin army that besieged Quwo had to either retreat to Jiangcheng and pass through the Anmen Pass, or face the fate of being flanked by the Zhao army.

Zhao Sheng let out a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face was also somewhat complicated: "Return to the king, that's what General Lian Po said in his reply letter, his goal is indeed Anyi."

Obviously, Zhao Sheng is not very optimistic about Lian Po's behavior.

After Zhao Dan heard what Zhao Sheng said, he couldn't help but shook his head, and said, "This is too risky. Now that Hangu Pass has returned to the Qin State, there should be Qin troops stationed there too. If Lian Po If his actions are noticed by the guarding Qin army, wouldn't it be useless?"

Zhao Sheng replied: "General Lian Po said that he would send an army to pretend to attack Hangu Pass to attract the Qin army's attention, so that the Qin army would not find out his true intention. As long as the army crosses the river and crosses Zhongtiao Mountain, Then even if Bai Qi noticed it, it would be too late.

Zhao Dan frowned deeply.

To be honest, Zhao Dan didn't really like this unstable plan.

It is very risky for the army to cross Zhongtiao Mountain. If Anyi cannot be conquered in one fell swoop, then supply will become a big problem.

After a while, Zhao Dan said: "Is this plan thought up by General Lian Po himself?"

Zhao Sheng replied: "No, it was jointly proposed by the staff officers of the army, and then adopted by the general. The general also said that if he fails, he is willing to take full responsibility. If he wins, then the hero should have the staff of the army. share."

Zhao Dan snorted, and said: "This Lian Po, he started to argue with the widow about these things before he won the battle, that's all, anyway, he will not accept the fate of the foreign king anyway, since he thinks he can win in this way, Then I will wait for the good news of his victory!"

Chapter 573 Want to take advantage of the widow (second update)

The matter of Lian Po has come to an end here.

But in the battlefield of Hedong County, Lian Po was not the only soldier in Zhao State.

So soon, Zhao Dan said again: "Where is Li Mu, how is Li Mu now?"

As soon as Li Mu was mentioned, the faces of the people in the hall inevitably looked a little hopeful and worried.

Counting from the time when they entered the land of Qin State after the war started, Handan has not received any news from Li Mu for at least a month.

After all, Li Mu was in the rear of the Qin people in Guanzhong, so it would be very troublesome to pass on some news.

First, the envoy went north from Guanzhong to Shuofang, and then walked down the route of Zhongshan, Yanmen Daijun, Shuofang Hetao Yunzhong, and finally arrived in Handan.

The distance of this route alone is several thousand miles, and along the way, it has to cross mountains and trudge through mountains and rivers. It almost circles around the country of Zhao for half a circle, and walks around the land of Zhao country from west to east.

No matter how fast it was eight hundred miles or even one thousand miles, by the time the courier arrived in Handan, the news he brought would be out of date for a long time.

Zhao Sheng laughed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's a coincidence that a messenger from Li Mu happened to arrive last night. According to Li Mu's letter, Liyang City has already been captured."

"Liyang City has been captured?" Zhao Dan was overjoyed when he heard this.

Although Zhao Dan had already reviewed the plan jointly formulated by Hu Yiwei and the staff department in advance, and had an understanding of the operation to capture Liyang City this time, the plan is just a plan after all, and only after it is actually implemented and successfully achieved results can this A plan is a really useful plan that can make Zhao Dan happy.

In fact, Li Mu brought more surprises to Zhao Dan than these.

I saw Zhao Sheng continue to say to Zhao Dan: "My lord, Li Mu judged that the Qin army might send a large force to encircle him, and now he is ready to give up Liyang City. Give the Qin people a big surprise in the city."

The other Zhao Guo ministers who were present couldn't help laughing immediately when they heard this.

"Surprise?" Zhao Dan's expression changed, and he said with a smile, "This Li Mu's character is known to everyone, so the so-called surprise, I'm afraid there are more surprises."

Uncle Li on the side interjected at the right time, and said with a smile: "If Li Mu can burn that Liyang with a single fire, it would really be a great surprise."

As soon as Li Bo finished speaking, he found that everyone in the hall suddenly turned their eyes on him, even Zhao Dan did the same.

Uncle Li was taken aback, and hurriedly explained: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke."

"No." Zhao Dan interrupted Uncle Li, and said to Uncle Li seriously: "What Li Qingru said is not wrong at all, I also think that Li Mu is really likely to do such a thing."

"What?" Uncle Li was also a little stunned at this moment, thinking that it was such a coincidence that he hit it just by saying it casually?
