Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

All the people present looked at Lian Po one after another, hoping to get Lian Po's answer.

Lian Po said solemnly: "Judging from the current situation, the Qin army should plan to defeat our country in a decisive battle first, and then settle other matters."

Obviously, the people of Qin State chose a very risky style of play. They don't want any back roads in the old nest, and they just want to overthrow Zhao State first.

Lian Po added: "Of course, the Qin people are not completely ignoring Guanzhong. There are still [-] main forces of the Qin army in Xianyang City, and the King of Qin has issued an order for the whole people to prepare to deal with the troops from the east and Hetao of our army. attack."

After Zhao Dan was silent for a while, he said, "Can Hangu Pass be held?"

Lian Po shook his head slowly and said: "If it is only a Qin country, then maybe with the support of the county soldiers from Hedong County and Jinyang County, it can still defend. But now because South Korea is not on our side On the one hand, once the troops are mobilized to go south to support Hangu Pass, it is very likely that they will be flanked by Qin and South Korea, which is not appropriate."

Zhao Dan frowned, and said: "In this way, Hangu Pass cannot be defended."

Lian Po said with a heavy tone: "Return to Your Majesty, it is true."

Zhao Dan shook his head and said, "Then let's continue talking about other countries."

Lian Po continued to speak: "Next is South Korea. South Korea has mobilized heavy troops in Xinzheng, the capital city, and the initial estimate should be around 15. However, the South Korean army has not shown any signs of being dispatched. It may be because they are afraid of being defeated by our army alone. According to It is speculated that the Koreans are likely to be waiting for the main force of the Qin army in Guanzhong to break through the Hangu Pass, and then go east to join them."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more tense.

Judging from the previous wars, it is the most convenient and reliable choice for Zhao to defeat each of them.

After all, the current state of Zhao has a vast territory that can be used as a strategic depth to delay the offensive of other countries. Even if some land is temporarily occupied by other countries, as long as the war is won, all these lands can still be returned to the state of Zhao.

And once the countries cannot form a joint force, then the Zhao country can use its powerful troops to break through each one, and finally win a complete victory.

After two defeats, the new generation of anti-Zhao alliance has obviously accepted this lesson, and it seems that there are already signs of joining forces.

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then continued to ask: "Then what about Chu State and Wei Guotian Chong's troops? What are their movements?"

Lian Po replied: "The Chu army seems to have reached an agreement with Wei Guotian Chong. It was obviously a place of life and death before, but now they have joined forces in Shouchun, just crossed the Huai River, and it seems that they may be preparing to go north. "

Zhao Dan let out a hey, and said, "Only with this 15 troops, do they dare to invade Suiyang City?"

Lian Po said seriously: "Your Majesty, in fact, according to the conjectures of the ministers and others, it is very likely that not only the Chu-Wei coalition forces are targeting Suiyang City."

Zhao Dan said: "Wu Xinjun, what is the meaning of this?"

Lian Po said: "I think that this time the Six Nations Alliance probably wants to have a decisive battle in Suiyang City!"

"Decisive battle?" Zhao Dan showed a surprised expression on his face.

At this time, Pang Nuan on the side spoke in a timely manner: "Indeed, according to the analysis of the staff department, this time the Allied Forces of the Six Nations should want to gather superior forces in one place, and then seek a decisive battle with our Zhao State army. Judging from the map, the most suitable place for the armies of the six countries to fight us is Suiyang City."

Zhao Dan subconsciously asked: "Why Suiyang City?"

Lian Po replied: "Because Suiyang City used to be the land of Wei State and Chu State, Wei State and Chu State are very familiar with this place. At the same time, it is relatively close to South Korea and Qi State, which is convenient for South Korea. Join the army of Qi State here."

Lian Po didn't mention Qin State, but everyone understood Lian Po's meaning very well. Anyway, since Qin State has decided to go east to the Central Plains, it doesn't matter where it goes.

After all, Suiyang City is still closer to Qin than when Qin State traveled thousands of miles to participate in the Five Kingdoms Conquest against Qi.

Zhao Dan's face became more serious, and he asked Lian Po: "So, the people of Qi are now marching towards Suiyang City?"

Lian Po nodded, and said: "Your Majesty's words are correct. Qi's army has also set out from Linzi and is marching towards Dayeze. As long as we go around Dayeze and go south, we will be able to reach Suiyang City."

By this time, the situation has become very obvious.

The Six Nations Alliance obviously wanted to gather under the city of Suiyang, and then defeat the main force of the Zhao army, led by Le Cheng, stationed here in one battle!

Yu Xin coughed with some difficulty, and said, "Where are the Yan people? The Yan people also want to go south to Suiyang, right?"

Lian Po shook his head and said: "Although the people of Yan State have indeed gone south, they did not detour through the territory of Qi State, but directly pointed their troops at Gucheng and Zhongrencheng in our country. According to the judgment, Yan State should be I will not participate in this decisive battle in Suiyang City."

Hearing this, Zhao Guojun and his ministers finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if there is one less enemy country involved, the pressure on Zhao Guo will be lower. It can be regarded as one of the bad news that is not too bad. news.

At this point, Lian Po's introduction about the entire battlefield situation is all over.

Zhao Dan let out a long breath, glanced at Zhao Guojun and his ministers present, and then said: "Very well, since we have fully understood the movements of the other six countries, then let's discuss how to solve the problem. This question."

Chapter 772 The King's Conquest

For Zhao Guoren, this is destined to be an unforgettable summer for them.

First of all, in the early spring, Zhao Guo united with the other five countries and went south to attack Duan Ganzi, a rebellious official of Wei State.

At that time, all Zhao people felt that this was just another one of Zhao's countless victories in recent years.

And things seem to have been developing in this direction. It took less than two months for Zhao Guo's army to win consecutive victories.Even the city of Suiyang has been captured, and the traitor Duan Ganzi has been handed over. Everything is going smoothly.

In addition, Le Cheng led the Zhao army to take advantage of the victory to march, and it was about to cross the Huai River to conquer the last Shouchun, which was occupied by another traitor, Tian Chong.

By this time, many Zhao people had even begun to discuss the possibility of annexing Wei. Although many people did not know whether Zhao Dan had such thoughts, it did not hinder their inferences and conjectures.

But under such circumstances, a big reversal appeared all at once.

Suddenly, the whole world stood on the hostile side of Zhao Guo, and the statement issued by the other six countries at the same time caught everyone off guard, and it was a blow to the people of Zhao Guo who were originally in an optimistic mood.

Obviously, yesterday was the leader of the world and the kings of the countries, how come our country of Zhao has become the target of public criticism when we wake up?

Undoubtedly, this immediately became the number one topic in the entire Zhao Kingdom.

In Handan City, many people were discussing this war with anxiety.

Someone said: "Tell me, now that the six kingdoms of the world are attacking Zhao Guo together, do we really have any hope of victory?"

Obviously, many people sneered at such ultra-pessimistic remarks, and someone retorted on the spot: "You must not forget that since the Battle of Changping, Zhao has won consecutive wars with foreign countries. There is no record of being defeated, so what do you have to worry about?"

"Really?" Someone immediately retorted: "Although that is the case, there has never been a war before where you have to face opponents from six countries! And don't forget, there has never been anything in this world. The everlasting country, even the invincible Qin State also lost to Zhao State after the Battle of Changping? Even last year, General Lian Po was also in the city of Gaotang Losing to the Qi people is definitely a bad signal."

When this person said something, everyone around him was immediately speechless. This made him feel quite radiant in his heart, and his face also showed a complacent expression. He was about to brag a few more words for himself, but suddenly He found that everyone standing beside him looked at him with malicious eyes.

The man's heart suddenly felt cold, goosebumps covered his whole body, he hurriedly laughed dryly, and said: "Oh, second and third son, listen to me, in fact, Zhao Guo still has hope of victory, it's just that"

Before he could finish his words, a loud shout suddenly sounded: "This kid actually arranges our Zhao country in such a way, and speaks such frustrating words, beat him up!"

A moment later, a guy who was beaten horribly by the crowd was thrown onto the street.

After hearing the news, the officials of the State of Zhao just asked about what happened. After learning the whole story, they silently spit on the ground and left without caring about the guy lying on the ground. up.

After such a commotion, the crowd lost much interest in talking and were about to leave when suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Quick, let's all go out of the city to have a look, the king is going to personally conquer!"

"What?" Everyone present was shocked after hearing these words, and then stood up in unison, and ran straight to the outside of the city, fearing that they would be one step behind others.

At this moment, there is already a sea of ​​people outside Handan City. Countless Zhao soldiers lined up in a long line, slowly starting from the North Camp, bypassing the west gate of Handan City and heading south.

Each of these soldiers of Zhao State is wearing shiny armor, which reflects the dazzling light under the sun. Batch after batch of war horses silently lead the knights on the horses past. These knights on the horses All of them raised their spears high, looking extremely powerful.
