Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

This is the so-called no absolutes in the world. It is obviously an act of militarism, but under this specific condition, it becomes the advantage of Qin and Zhao.

As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, Mr. Pingyuan stood up and was the first to speak: "Queen Mother, the old minister thinks that Da Zhao should attack Qin this time!"

Zhao Kuo glanced at Mr. Pingyuan and shook his head secretly.

This gentleman is really a tough guy.

The Empress Dowager's eyes moved slightly, and said, "Why?"

Lord Pingyuan talked eloquently: "Qin State has always been the sworn enemy of our Great Zhao, and this time Lord Wu Xin signed an alliance with Chu State, as long as Great Zhao attacks Qin, Chu State will definitely assist.

In this way, combining the power of the four countries of Zhao, Han, Wei and Chu will definitely be able to win Guanzhong, and Qin can only be trapped in the land of Bashu, which is no longer a concern! "

Mr. Pingyuan basically copied what Zhao Kuo said that day, leaving Zhao Kuo dumbfounded.

Can it be a little innovative?

But the next moment, Mr. Pingyuan's words were immediately opposed by General Lian Po: "Mr. Pingyuan's words are wrong.

Qin has been defeated by my great Zhao so many times in a row, it is impossible to become a threat to my great Zhao in a short time.

You must know that Handan, the capital of Dazhao, is in the Central Plains, which is thousands of miles away from the Guanzhong of Qin State. Why did Dazhao give up the Central Plains that is close at hand instead of opening up, but keeps staring at Guanzhong that is far away in the sky? "

After saying these rebuttals, Lian Po turned his head to look at the Queen Mother again, and said, "Queen Mother, the veteran thinks that the most urgent thing is to attack Qi! Qi is weak but has a large population and rich cities, and it is very close to Handan. Great Zhao should choose a good target."

After Zhao Kuo heard Lian Po's words, the corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth curled up slightly.

It seems that Zhao Guo's next goal should be Qi Guo.

Chapter 228 If you don't believe in Wu Xinjun, you will suffer in front of your eyes

The tone of Zhao Kuo's side has been set. This year, Benhou will not leave the mountain, so you can play whatever you want.

After careful calculation, Zhao Kuo actually has a lot of things to do.

For example, Chi Youjun has just recruited 5000 people and is still in the process of retraining. For example, the Nightingale system penetrated into Qin and Chu countries. It is good to consolidate the status of Zhao Guoxuegong and completely suppress Jixia Xuegong in Qi State, and so on.

These things are all related to Zhao Kuo's future foundation in Zhao Guozhong and the great cause of unification. It may take two or three years to do it carefully one by one, not to mention one year.

So Zhao Kuo didn't mind letting Lian Po go out in the limelight at all this year. Zhao Kuo even hoped that Lian Po could win a battle and make more contributions. In this way, Zhao Kuo would be less jealous from the Queen Mother.

It's a pity that Zhao Kuo hadn't finished thinking about it when he heard Lord Pingyuan say: "General, what you said is wrong.

Qi State and our Da Zhao have been living in peace all these years. If we attack Qi State, wouldn't Da Zhao have an enemy out of thin air?

We should still fight against Qin. Anyway, after the wars in the past few years, our Da Zhao has long been at odds with Qin. "

Lian Po snorted and said, "Mr. Pingyuan's statement is absurd.

Qi State used to be the overlord of the world before, don't the kings and ministers of Qi State have any thoughts of revival of the hegemony in the past?

Once Da Zhao really sent an army to Guanzhong thousands of miles away, maybe Qi Guo would quietly stab Da Zhao in the back!Therefore, let's solve the serious problem of Qi State first. "

Mr. Pingyuan and Lian Po had a quarrel. After a while, Mr. Pingyang and Lin Xiangru also joined in the war of words. After a while, Zhao Kuo and Zhou Shaofen looked at each other and tacitly joined the debate among.

Of course, Zhao Kuo also wanted to say a few words, after all Mr. Hepingyuan is still an ally.

After some quarreling, the queen mother suddenly raised her hand, and everyone immediately fell silent, knowing that it was the queen mother who was going to make the final decision.

Why does the queen mother always have to wait until the quarrel is endless before standing up?

This is actually for the convenience of checks and balances, so that it is easier for the queen mother to control the highest decision-making power in her own hands, and at the same time, by the way, this kind of quarrel can intensify the contradiction between the two factions virtually.

The queen mother looked around at the people present, and her eyes stayed on Zhao Kuo for a few more seconds.

Although the queen mother, who is not more than 30 years old, is considered a rare beauty, Zhao Kuo didn't feel any ambiguity when she was stared at by the queen mother. Instead, she felt like a tigress was staring at herself. It seems that the queen mother may eat Zhao Kuo at any time.

The queen mother withdrew her gaze and said slowly: "The old woman has already decided, this time I will attack Qin."

This decision immediately caused an uproar in everyone's hearts. Lord Pingyuan and Pingyang Lord were naturally extremely disappointed, while Lin Xiangru and Han Xuwei were of course overjoyed.

The only two people in the hall who have no disturbances in their hearts are Little Zhao Wang and Zhao Kuo. Little Zhao Wang is too young to understand anything, and Zhao Kuo has already guessed the ending of the matter, so how could there be fluctuations? ?

Suddenly, Zhao Kuo felt that someone was watching him, raised his head and found that it was Han Xuwei.

Han Xuwei blinked at Zhao Kuo with a smile, his old face was full of sarcasm.

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment, and thought: "What is this old man doing?

Oh, is he trying to say that I failed this time? "

Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, thinking, um, Han Xu is an old comrade, as long as you are happy.

Mr. Pingyuan was not happy, this Zhao Guo Xiangbang couldn't help but said: "Queen Mother, the old minister thinks that this matter still needs to be discussed for a while, why not?" The Queen Mother frowned and interrupted Mr. Pingyuan with a very cold expression: Why, Mr. Pingyuan doesn't even take the old woman's words seriously now, does it mean that the old woman is no longer good enough to control Da Zhao?"

This sentence was extremely heartbreaking, Mr. Pingyuan got up and left the seat and knelt down in shock, even saying that he didn't dare.

The Empress Dowager saw that Mr. Pingyuan was subdued, and her face looked better now, and she said coldly: "By the way, the main general who will conquer Qi this time will be General Lian Po.

Well, the meeting is over! "

After saying this, the queen mother got up and took little Zhao Wang away.

Han Xuwei, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po and others naturally went together, leaving only Zhao Kuo, Pingyang Lord and Pingyuan Lord who was still kneeling on the ground in the hall.

Zhao Kuo looked at Lord Pingyuan with a desolate face, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, walked over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the King have already left, let's go too."

Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Mr. Wu Xin, I really regret it, I should have listened to you long ago."

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and whispered a word in Mr. Pingyuan's ear.

This sentence seemed to have some kind of magical power, which immediately restored Mr. Pingyuan's spirit: "Mr. Wu Xin, are you serious?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "I don't dare to say too much, but I'm [-] to [-]% sure."

Mr. Pingyuan's complexion returned to ruddy all of a sudden, and he laughed loudly: "Although some things shouldn't be said, it's strange to say, why does this old man still expect it to happen?"

On the other side, Han Xuwei, Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, and Zhou Shaofen walked down the many steps of the hall side by side.

Han Xuwei said with a smile: "The general won the position of chief general this time, and he will definitely be able to make another contribution to my great Zhao. The old man is here to congratulate in advance!"

Lian Po straightened his chest when he heard the words, and with his white beard fluttering along the cold wind in late autumn, he said proudly, "Thank you for your kindness, Grand Master."

Not only Han Xuwei, but even Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen felt that Lian Po would definitely win this time.

why?

This is about how Lian Po became the No.1 general of Zhao Guo.

Lian Po's past victories include dozens of battles, and at least 80.00% of the victories were obtained from Qi.

To use an internet term, Lian Po belongs to the category of "eating, sleeping, and attacking the Qi State", and he is the out-and-out nemesis of the Qi State!So don't look at Lian Po's inability to win in vain, but isn't it easy to defeat Qi?

Han Xuwei blinked, and smiled again: "To tell you the truth, the old man thought it was funny when he saw Wu Xinjun's self-possessed face just now, hahahaha" Han Xuwei's laughter floated in the air, It spread far and wide.

If Han Xuwei knew what Zhao Kuo said to Mr. Pingyuan just now, then the grand master of Zhao Guo might not be able to laugh too much.

What Zhao Kuo said was actually very simple: "Mr. Pingyuan, there is a high probability that our Great Zhao's war against Qi will fail this time."

Chapter 229 Li Si's Jealousy

Zhao Kuo returned to the mansion and summoned several confidants to discuss the matter, including Xu Li, Li Si, Han Fei and Guo Zong.

When he heard that Lian Po was the general who attacked Qi, Xu Li was the first to hold back, and said angrily: "What does the Queen Mother think?

Even if you want to attack Qi, you should let Junhou go.

Lian Po has just lost a battle and ruined so many great Zhao people, so he still has the chance to lead the army? "

Xu Li really didn't like Lian Po, because several members of the Xu family were killed by the Qin army in the Battle of Yiyang two years ago, and the commander of Zhao State in that battle was Lian Po. quite.

The faces of the other confidants were also not good-looking. The so-called master humiliated the minister to death, of course they are not happy about this situation.

After being silent for a while, Xu Li couldn't help but suggested: "Your Honor, why don't you just send some news to Qi State, so that this attack on Qi State will fail!"

When Xu Li said this suggestion, several others were moved.

All those present were confidants, and they all knew Zhao Kuo's ambitious goal of seizing power and unification, and Lian Po and Lin Xiangru were undoubtedly stumbling blocks on the way to achieve this goal.

Once Lian Po is defeated this time, it will definitely be a very serious blow to Lin Xiangru, who is already very unfavorable to Lian Po!But for Xu Li's opinion, Zhao Kuo directly denied it.

Zhao Kuo said, "Although it is true that the Marquis has a plan to seize power, don't forget that the Marquis is a native of Zhao after all.

This Marquis will not use any means that may sacrifice the lives of thousands of people in the Zhao Kingdom to attack political opponents.

This Marquis also hopes that you can pay attention to this point, we may become rulers in the future, but never forget that our power comes from the people, and never lose the awe of the people and the hearts of the people! "

Zhao Kuo's words were so loud that everyone was in awe.

Although he was reprimanded, Xu Li didn't feel any annoyance, on the contrary, he became more and more convinced.

Xu Li has worked hard step by step from the bottom. He knows very well that a ruler who can care for the people is the greatest blessing for Zhao and the whole world.

Then Guo Zong said, "Your Majesty, what should Qi do with the ginseng business and the channels for smuggling weapons?"

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and said: "The ginseng business and the channels for smuggling weapons can be suspended after the war breaks out. At that time, I will personally write a letter and send it to the Prime Minister of Qi State to win, telling him that this time the conquest of Qi State is not the original plan. waiting idea.

Wait until after the war to revive these two businesses. "

The reason why Zhao Kuo specifically emphasized that after the war broke out is because it is still winter and the war will not break out until spring, so it cannot be stopped immediately, so as not to leak secrets.

Although Xu Li had just been reprimanded by Zhao Kuo, he still couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Your Majesty is thinking of Zhao, but Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Han Xuwei and those people may not be in favor of you."

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said to Xu Li in front of him: "Forget it, Uncle Xu, I won't hide it from you.

This time General Lian Po's conquest of Qi State, the probability of victory is actually not high. "

When Zhao Kuo said these words, several confidant retainers present were immediately stunned.

Xu Li couldn't help but said on the spot: "How is this possible?"

Yes, how is it possible?

The current state of Zhao is the most powerful country in the world.

Zhao Kuo sighed, and said slowly: "Although Qi State has not launched a war for many years, this does not mean that Qi State is a weak country through and through, at least they still have the power to fight.

This time, Da Zhao suddenly went to war against Qi, which would definitely make Yan feel cold.

Once Qi State and Yan State are united, they should not be underestimated. If Chu State or Qin State joins in, Da Zhao will not only be unable to win this time, but will even be in danger, just like Qi State back then. "

Although Zhao Guo is strong, it is far from strong enough to be able to win in the face of the siege of the four major powers.

As for Han Wei, the two allies of the Zhao Kingdom, these two are actually just grass, and they may fall to the other side at any time!When Zhao Kuo said these words, the faces of everyone changed again.

You must know that Qi State was the most powerful country in the world back then, and even Qin State was overwhelmed, but it was because Qi State did not keep promises when it united with the princes to attack Qin State and suddenly wiped out Song State, which aroused the anger of the princes and made the princes Under the auspices of Meng Changjun, Han Xuwei and Le Yi, in turn, they joined hands with Qin to create a five-country attack on Qi, which almost destroyed Qi.

Li Dun was a little worried at the moment: "Your Majesty, is it possible that our Great Zhao will go back to the past as Qi State did?"

Zhao Kuo laughed when he heard the words: "Of course this is impossible, the Marquis is still here.

This time, I will write a book here and go to Xianyang to make some arrangements for Qin State, so that Qin State should not participate in this war.

As long as Qin State does not participate in the war, even if Chu State breaks the covenant signed with Benhou and starts war against Da Zhao, Da Zhao will experience a defeat at most, and it will not be hurt. "

The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, Zhao Kuo buried Lu Buwei's chess piece for so long, it should come in handy.

After a pause, Zhao Kuo said again: "The Marquis will write another letter to Chunshenjun at that time. As for whether Chunshenjun can listen to it, will Chu State change its attitude towards Da Zhao because of this?" Strategy, that is not something that this queen can decide."

Although he said that he didn't like Lian Po very much and even hoped that Lian Po would be defeated, Zhao Kuo asked himself, and finally felt that so many soldiers of Zhao State were innocent.

Zhao Kuo, as an important minister of Zhao State and the leader of Zhao State in the future, is obliged to let Zhao State save more soldiers' lives in such a war, so as to leave more seeds for Zhao State to unify the world in the future.

Zhao Kuo actually felt a little pity in his heart, it would be great if his own strength was enough to control the entire Zhao country at this time, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!After the matter was discussed, several retainers left one after another.

Li Si and Han Feinai were brothers and sisters, so they naturally walked together.

Li Si saw that there was no one around, and couldn't help but said, "Han Fei, I always feel that although Junhou is unparalleled in military strategy, he always feels too kind in his dealings with others."

Li Si was obviously referring to Zhao Kuo's decision just now.

If it was Li Si who came, Li Si would have secretly informed Qi Guo without hesitation, and directly killed Lian Po!Regarding Li Si's complaint, Han Fei couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, and put a note in Li Si's hand.

Li Si opened the note and saw a paragraph written on it.

"Your Majesty's move is because he has compassion and kindness for the millions of people in Dazhao. Such an emperor with a kind heart is the best choice for my subjects.

Otherwise, if Junhou is a person who is so rejoicing and desperate to seize the throne, even if you and my brothers can become important ministers under Junhou's hands in the future, they will always be like Fan Lizhong. The day the cunning rabbit died and his lackey cooked. "

Li Si was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Han Fei and said, "Your brother is right this time, brother has been taught."

Han Fei smiled and said, "Senior brother, you are welcome."

But Han Fei didn't know that Li Si had another thought in his mind at this moment.
