Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Guo can have two generations of five generals, old and new, at one time, and any one of them is enough to make other countries covet famous generals. It has to be said that this is indeed the place where God loves Zhao Guo.

Of course, everyone is very clear that the source of all this is entirely from Zhao Dan, the king of the Zhao Kingdom who has just passed the age of [-] and has only been on the throne for ten years.

If King Wuling of Zhao is the real pioneer of the hegemony of the Zhao State, and King Zhao Hui is the defender of the hegemony of the Zhao State, then Zhao Dan is the one who has made great progress in the ancestral foundation.

In Zhao Dan's generation, Zhao Guo rose again, and soared into the sky to suppress all countries.

Under the rule of Zhao Dan, Zhao Guo's national strength is flourishing, and good generals and virtuous ministers have emerged in large numbers, which fully proves how important a wise monarch is to the country in this era of rule of man.

But no matter how wise the monarch is, he actually has his own troubles, and now Zhao Dan is facing such a happy trouble.

There are too many people who can fight under my command, who should I let as the coach of the Wei army?

Zhao Dan thought for a while, his eyes flicked across everyone's eyes, and finally he said slowly: "As for the selection of the general who will conquer Wei this time, you can speak freely."

Chapter 689 War Preparation (Second Update)

From a safe point of view, of course, it is necessary to listen to the opinions of the ministers in front of you first, so that these ministers have a sense of participation, so as to stimulate their enthusiasm for participating in politics.

In fact, Zhao Dan found that he underestimated the enthusiasm of his ministers to participate in politics.

As soon as Zhao Dan finished speaking, Zhao Sheng couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, Pang Qing has always been loyal to His Majesty, and has made many contributions, and has excellent commanding skills. He has repeatedly opened up territories for His Majesty. Pang Qing is the best candidate for this expedition against Wei."

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng who was talking, and was not at all surprised by what Zhao Sheng said.

After all, Pang Nuan was Zhao Sheng's political ally. It would be a strange thing if Zhao Sheng didn't recommend Pang Nuan to fight in this matter.

But it is not only Zhao Sheng who will propose candidates.

As soon as Zhao Sheng's words fell, Yu Xin on the other side coughed and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wu Xin Lianpo has always led the army well. the best choice."

It was no surprise that Yu Xin recommended Lian Po.

Judging from the current state of Zhao's political arena, only Lian Po and Pang Nuan are the most capable candidates for the leadership.

As soon as Yu Xin's voice fell, Zhao Sheng said with a smirk: "Wu Xinjun has worked hard, this is something everyone knows. But Wu Xinjun is old after all, and it is too hard to go out every year, so I think that Lord Wu Xin might as well take a good rest in Handan for a while this time, and wait until the next opportunity to lead the army."

When Lian Po heard this sentence, he immediately became unhappy, and he opened his mouth to refute Zhao Sheng: "Mr. Pingyuan, the soldiers should be proud of the horse leather shroud. Since I am a minister of the king, I should serve the king and fight for the king. It is the true nature of a courtier. Besides, compared with Pang Qing, I am not old at all."

The two sides quarreled for half an hour without getting any results.

In the end, it was Zheng Zhu, the current pedestrian of Zhao Guoda, who ended the quarrel.

I saw Zheng Zhu stood up, cupped his hands facing both sides, and said: "Since you are so in dispute, then please ask the king to make a judgment."

As soon as Zheng Zhu said these words, everyone immediately nodded in agreement, and then turned their attention to Zhao Dan.

In fact, every minister of the State of Zhao present was not a fool. Of course, they also knew that no matter what they said, the final decision still had to be made by the monarch Zhao Dan.

But the reason why they strive so hard is to show their eager attitude, hoping to make Zhao Dan lean towards his side when making the final decision.

Who should be chosen as the main general to attack Wei State this time?

In fact, Zhao Dan himself has been struggling with this issue.

But now the situation is coming to an end, so no matter how entangled Zhao Dan is, he has to come up with an idea after all.

So after pondering for a while, Zhao Dan finally said: "The widow has decided. Last time Pang Qing performed well in the battle against Yan, so this time, the widow still decides to send troops to attack Wei with Pang Qing as the commander-in-chief." !"

The reason for choosing Pang Nuan is the same as before. Zhao Dan needs a general who can compete with Lian Po in the army.

Zhao Dan even planned that as long as Pang Nuan wins a few more games, then Pang Nuan can be crowned king, and then this kind of competition will be completely formed.

As soon as Zhao Dan's words came out, it was natural that several families were happy and others were sad.

Zhao Sheng and Pang Nuan were naturally full of joy, while Yu Xin and Lian Po's faces on the other side were not so good-looking.

This was the second time that Lian Po had lost in the battle for the general.

Zhao Dan glanced at Lian Po, and found that the old general had a displeasure written all over his face. He knew how much he wanted to give the old general some comfort, so he said, "Mr. Wu Xin, I listened to Hu Yiwei's report. The country is also mobilizing soldiers, horses, food, and grass, and it seems that there is an intention to unite with the Wei State to start a war against the widow. The widow is going to order you to lead a partial army to station in Gaotang City to guard against possible attacks from the Qi State. I wonder what Wu Xinjun thinks?"

After a pause, Zhao Dan said again: "If Lord Wu Xin is not willing, then I will let Le Cheng guard."

When Lian Po heard Zhao Dan's words, he immediately regained his spirits.

For a general like Lian Po who is eager to fight, even though he has lost the position of the general, it is still very good to fight if there is a battle.

After all, Lian Po has been idle for more than a year. If he misses this time, he will be idle for at least another year. It will be a waste of life for a veteran in his 50s or 60s.

So Lian Po hurriedly said to Zhao Dan: "If the Qi army comes to attack, the king, will the old minister be able to fight back?"

Of course, Lian Po's meaning is not just a simple counterattack. Lian Po's meaning is actually if the Qi people fight over, then can Lian Po continue to enter Qi's territory after defeating the Qi army and counterattack Qi's territory.

I have to say that with decades of experience in eating, sleeping and fighting against Qi, Lian Po is really confident about fighting against Qi. He doesn't even know the number of enemies and us, so he first thinks about how to occupy the territory of Qi up.

Zhao Dan said with a smile: "As long as Wu Xinjun thinks it's okay, then I naturally don't have any opinions."

Only then did Lian Po turn his anger into joy, and saluted Zhao Dan: "Old minister obeys."

Zhao Dan paused, and continued: "Besides, the Qin State may also send troops together with the Wei State, so I plan to send Le to take the town of Hedong County to guard against the possible attack of the Qin State."

In the last war, it was Ju Xin who was sitting in Hedong County to defend against Qin State's attack, but Ju Xin obviously did a very bad job in this matter, causing Zhao State to lose almost the entire Hedong County.

After the war, although Zhao Dan did not send Ju Xin to prison for questioning, he also pursued the responsibility and demoted Ju Xin, making him a county lieutenant in Shangdang County.

Zhao Dan's orders continued.

"Then give the widow an order to Li Mu, and ask Li Mu to quickly assemble his troops. Once he finds that Qin has started to join the war, then Li Mu will immediately go south to the Guanzhong to distract the people of Qin. The widow doesn't believe that Li Mu is here. This time Qin The country dares to advance eastward like before, unless they don't want Xianyang City anymore!"

As soon as Zhao Dan's words fell, there was a burst of laughter. Obviously, everyone present remembered the happy time when they conquered Xianyang City last time.

Amidst this burst of laughter, Zhao Dan turned his gaze to Zheng Zhu again: "Zheng Qing, you should also be prepared, if you are sure that Qi State really intends to start a war against the widows, then you will immediately send The envoy went to the Yan State and told the Queen Mother that as long as the Yan State is willing to send troops to help the widow this time, then after the victory of this battle, the widow can return all the land that the Qi people captured the Yan State last time."

"Send someone to inform the king of Han again, and tell him that as long as the king of Han is willing to send troops to help the widow this time, after the war is over, all Wei lands west of Yingshui, such as Luyang, Kunyang, Xiangcheng and Zhaoling in the west of Wei Everything belongs to him!"

Zhao Dan's orders were distributed one by one, and all the ministers naturally took orders in unison, and then returned to their respective mansions, and began to carry out the many orders that Zhao Dan had just given.

Countless orders were distributed from the official residences of the ministers to all directions of Zhao State later in the day, and the entire war machine of Zhao State began to act nervously and methodically under this urgent order.

Another big war is about to break out, Zhao Guozhong, from Zhao Dan to ordinary people, are full of confidence in winning this war.
