Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Two days later, Qin Wang Yingzhu held a court meeting.

The king of Qin doesn't seem to be in good spirits, he has thick dark circles under his eyes, and he doesn't seem to be very energetic when he speaks: "Zhuqing, Zhao Guo formed the Three-Jin Alliance to attack Qi, and Qi Guo joined forces with Chu and Yan. The country is against the enemy, you all tell me what should Daqin do?"

Xiangbang Fan Sui had obviously already had an idea, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the main force of the State of Zhao is now fighting in the State of Qi. This is the perfect opportunity for the Great Qin to recover Hedong!"

Fan Sui's idea is a typical Qin people's idea, and he wants to go to war whenever he has the opportunity.

This is not to say that the Qin people only have killing in their minds, but because Shang Yang's nationwide farming and warfare system has kidnapped everyone in the entire Qin country.

In other countries or dynasties, the common people could go into business, take the imperial examinations, etc. if they wanted to get ahead, but in the Qin State, these were not available. The only way for the common people in the Qin State to rise in class was military merit.

Because of this, Qin State's war-seeking thinking is driven from the bottom to the decision-making level. This is why Qin State almost wages wars every year but has never heard of the reason why the people are tired. Only by fighting can the people get more benefits. Land, money and office.

After Fan Sui's words fell, many ministers of the Qin State immediately expressed their agreement, and perhaps some people disagreed, but they did not dare to speak out in such a one-sided situation.

King Qin touched the beard on his chin, and when he was about to push the boat along, a voice suddenly sounded: "Father, I feel that this is not the time to send troops!"

King Qin was stunned, and everyone was stunned.

Everyone looked at the speaker, and found that it was Ying Zichu, the Prince of Qin who had just been canonized for a few months.

King Qin frowned suddenly, and his tone was a little displeased: "Zi Chuer, this is a major military matter, so be careful when you speak."

King Qin didn't think that Ying Zichu could say anything. What kind of insights could a child who had been neglected for so long, who had been a proton in Handan for so many years, have?

I let you sit here to know how to deal with political affairs, but you dare to point fingers at the first time you participated in the court meeting?

Seeing this, Fan Sui hurriedly said: "The prince is also young and vigorous, eager to serve the country.

Your Majesty doesn't have to be harsh. "

Ying Zichu was frightened by King Qin's obvious anger, but at this moment he remembered what Lu Buwei said yesterday, so he said bravely, "Father, after all, my son has been in Zhao State for many years. I still have some understanding, so why not just listen and talk about it?"

The anger on Qin Wang's face became more and more obvious, and he said lightly: "If that's the case, then you can say it."

Ying Zichu took a deep breath to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and then said softly: "I have been thinking about a question, why Daqin has been losing to Zhao Guo in the past few years.

Is it because Daqin's armor is not sharp enough, or is it because the food and salary are not enough, or is it because the generals are not strong enough? "

This question immediately changed the faces of the kings and ministers of Qin who were present.

This is a scar that will be exposed as soon as it comes up.

Ying Zichu continued talking on his own, and said, "After thinking about it, I feel that these are actually not true.

It's not that the armor is not sharp, it's not that the food and pay are not enough, and it's not that the generals are not effective.

Because in the past so many years, Daqin has not had any problems in these aspects, how could there be problems in just a few years? "

Hearing this, Fan Sui couldn't help asking: "The old minister wants to ask the prince for advice. Since these are not true, what is the real reason?"

Ying Zi Chu said in a deep voice: "The real reason is that Zhao Guo has a military trustworthy king, Zhao Kuo! Zhao Kuo is an incomparable genius. In comparison, even Bai Qi, the once invincible Lord of Wu'an in Great Qin Dynasty, suffered defeats under his hands one after another.

Zhao Kuo is really too strong, so strong that he can reverse the war between Daqin and Zhao with his own power, and can change the situation of the whole world! "

There was silence.

Although very unwilling, all the kings and ministers of the state of Qin had to admit that what Ying Zichu said was indeed true!If it weren't for Zhao Kuo, Qin would not have lost the Battle of Changping. After the victory of the Battle of Yiyang, Qin would be able to take advantage of the victory in the Battle of Lichen, and the Battle of Hedong could even be won.

However, because of Zhao Kuo's presence, these can only become fantasies.

Fan Sui sighed, and said, "What does what the crown prince said have anything to do with whether Daqin wants to attack Zhao?"

Ying Zichu waited for this sentence, and immediately replied: "Of course, you should not forget that the one who is in charge of attacking Qi is Lian Po, and Zhao Kuo is still in Handan! If Daqin attacks again In the case of Zhao Guo, Zhao Kuo must be the one who will come to fight, and at that time, will Da Qin really be able to defeat Zhao Kuo?"

There was silence again.

There seems to be a huge shadow in the hearts of the kings and ministers of Qin. The name of this shadow is Zhao Kuo. Obviously Zhao Kuo is still far away in Handan, but it makes the kings and ministers of Qin in this hall have a kind of breathlessness. Feeling out of breath.

Ying Zichu's voice became louder and louder, hitting everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer: "Daqin has failed too many times in Zhao Kuo's hands in the past few years. The last failure made Daqin lose What if Hedong County, the barrier in Guanzhong, fails this time?

At that time, once Zhao Kuo's soldiers come to Guanzhong, everything will be over, and Daqin will be completely over! "

Ying Zi Chu Yue spoke more fluently. At this moment, he seems to have really entered the role. He has become a qualified prince exactly as Lu Buwei taught him. Confident emotions are constantly emerging from all parts of his body. , making his waist straighter and his chest more protruding.

What he didn't know was that there was an invisible thread behind his teacher Lu Buwei, and the other end of the thread was tied to Handan thousands of miles away, and it was tied to the hand of Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo whom he was talking about. !With a bang, King Qin Zhao Zhu slapped the table.

"enough!"

Chapter 235 Let them bite the dog

As soon as King Qin slapped the table, Ying Zichu's heart skipped a beat. His heart was about to suffer, and he almost knelt down.

King Qin let out a long breath, waved his hands towards Ying Zichu, and said slowly, "Zi Chuer, sit down first."

Ying Zichu felt relieved and immediately returned to his seat.

King Qin looked around at the crowd, and said slowly, "What do you think of what Zi Chu'er said?"

Fan Sui was silent for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask the generals for their opinions?"

In the face of iron-clad facts, even Xiangbang Fan Sui could hardly refute.

Qin Wang's face changed, and he immediately said: "Yes, come, call Wang Yan and Meng Ao into the palace!"

After Bai Qi's failure in Hedong, he was kept under house arrest in Wu'an Jun's Mansion and was not allowed to go out, so Wang He and Meng Ao became the two leading figures in the Qin military.

Wang Yan and Meng Ao arrived soon, and respectfully saluted the King of Qin: "I have seen the King."

At this time, King Qin was not in the mood to chat with these two people, and asked straightforwardly: "If I ask you to attack Zhao Guohedong as generals, what are the chances of winning?"

Of course, both Wang Yan and Meng Ao knew the situation before them, so King Qin didn't introduce much nonsense.

Wang He thought for a while, and said: "Now there are about [-] soldiers and horses in the east, Jinyang, Shangjun and other places of Zhao State. If the king can give you [-] soldiers and horses, you will definitely be able to take down Hedong County!"

Meng Ao immediately followed without hesitation: "I only need [-] soldiers and horses!"

After Meng Ao's words fell, his eyes immediately made contact with Wang He's, and the flames flickered.

In order to compete for No. 1 in the Qin military circle after Bai Qi, these two have been hostile for a long time.

The King of Qin coughed heavily, and said, "What if Zhao Kuo is sitting in Hedong?

Can you still take it? "

Wang Yan and Meng Ao's expressions changed at the same time, and suddenly they became dumb.

After a long while, Wang Lu said with some difficulty: "If it is Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, I feel that at least 15 soldiers and horses are needed to have a chance of winning.

But please rest assured, as long as there are so many soldiers and horses, I will definitely be able to win Hedong! "

Meng Ao unexpectedly did not talk back to Wang He this time, and said: "I also think that at least 15 soldiers and horses are needed, and we must also ensure that Zhao Guo has no reinforcements!"

Seeing the expressions of the two generals, Qin Wang quietly raised his anger in his heart.

These two guys actually have to have three times the strength to dare to fight Zhao Kuo, which is a shame!But immediately, this anger turned into a touch of helplessness.

As Prince Yingzi Chu said, Zhao Kuo is really too strong, like a monster.

Even the famous Bai Qi was defeated one after another, Wang Yan and Meng Ao were also defeated by Zhao Kuo, how could he be better than Bai Qi?

The King of Qin was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "My son, Zichu, get up, the widow asks you a question."

Ying Zichu's heart was pounding, but he stood up calmly on the surface: "I don't know what my father wants to ask?"

The King of Qin stared at Ying Zichu, and said slowly, "Since you say you can't defeat Zhao Kuo on the battlefield, what should Da Qin do?"

Zhao Kuo is only less than 30 years old now, even if Zhao Kuo only has a lifespan of 50 years old, there are still more than 20 years left. It is impossible for Qin to go around Zhao Kuo in these 20 years, right?

Ying Zichu was overjoyed when he heard this, because Lu Buwei had really told him the answer to this question.

Ying Zichu said without hesitation: "Returning to my father, Zhao Kuo can actually be killed.

It's just that Erchen felt that the person who could kill him was not in Xianyang, but in Handan! "

"Handan?"

King Qin was taken aback when he heard the words, but soon his eyes lit up: "Zi Chu'er means divorce?"

Ying Zichu smiled slightly, and said, "Father, Your Highness!"

The King of Qin looked at Ying Zichu, and his heart was filled with emotion.

Originally thought that this child who doesn't love his mother or father is nothing more than that, and needs to be trained for a few years, but he didn't expect that Ying Zichu would be able to participate deeply in the state affairs for the first time, and even proposed an effective solution.

Since he had just taken over the throne for only a few months, King Qin had some doubts about launching a war, but now he has finally completely firmed up his mind during this court discussion.

The King of Qin said indifferently: "Zi Chu, what I said is very reasonable, now that Da Qin has failed for years and people's hearts are fluctuating, it really needs to be cultivated.

Daqin will not participate in this year's war, let them bite the dog! "

King Qin's majesty was naturally irresistible, and everyone immediately stood up to take orders.

Fan Sui left the palace with a heavy heart, and suddenly heard someone calling him, so he subconsciously turned his head back.

It was Wang Lu who came.

Wang Yan said softly: "Why didn't Jun Hou stop the prince just now?

Now is a great time to conquer Zhao! "

Fan Sui fixedly looked at Wang Yan, and after a while showed a helpless wry smile: "General Wang Yan, it's not that I don't want to support you, it's just that if you need three times as many troops to defeat Zhao Kuo, Da Qin really won this battle." No way!"

Half an hour later, Ying Zichu returned to his prince's mansion in a happy mood, and immediately sent someone to find Lu Buwei: "Mr. Lu, I have told my father and the king according to your words!"

Lu Buwei suddenly regained his spirits when he heard the words: "Dare to ask the prince, what is the result?"

Ying Zichu laughed, and explained the entire process of the court discussion to Lu Buwei in detail, and then said proudly: "Before leaving the palace, my father praised me very much."

Hearing this, Lu Buwei let out a sigh of relief.

If the Qin State does not send troops, then Lu Buwei's mission will be completed, and he can explain to Zhao Kuo, the Wuxin Lord of Handan.

But this Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is really scary, he can guess so accurately about the psychology of Qin's monarch and ministers, all the points stated in the letter have been fully confirmed in the court deliberations relayed by Ying Zichu. Thinking of this, Lu Buwei Suddenly, I felt a chill hit, and I shivered unknowingly.

At this moment, Lu Buwei suddenly felt that even if his family members were not held as hostages in Handan, he should not have any thoughts of betraying Wu Xinjun. The methods of that Wu Xinjun were really amazing.

Ying Zichu looked at Lu Buwei who was suddenly shivering in a strange way, and asked with concern, "Could it be that Mr. Lu has contracted a cold?"

Lu Buwei shook his head hurriedly, and forced a smile on his face: "The old minister is fine, just happy for the prince. From today onwards, your position will be considered secure!"

Ying Zichu immediately became proud when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I just realized today that the feeling of pointing out the country is so refreshing. In the future, Mr. Lu, you must point me a lot, so that I can stand out in front of my father." Yes! Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, after I ascend the throne in the future, you will be the Xiangbang of Daqin!"

Lu Buwei was a little emotional when he heard the words, and thought that if you really want my "guidance" in everything in the future, even all the actions of Qin State will be completely controlled by that Wu Xinjun who is far away in Handan!Lu Buwei showed a very sincere and grateful expression on his face, and knelt down with a plop: "Thank you, the prince, for your kindness!"

Chapter 236 Grand Master, You Are Stupid Without Medicine

Now that the queen mother has issued an order, Zhao Kuo is of course going to go to Hedong County.

Before departure, business affairs must be arranged.

Because Lian Po, the general, was on the expedition, many matters that were originally handled by Lian Po were transferred to Zhao Kuo's Da Sima official office, which made Zhao Kuo busy for three full days before they could get it done.

After finally signing the last mobilization order of the local county lieutenant, Zhao Kuo put down the brush in his hand and stretched long.

"Damn, it's no wonder that the emperors in history like to be lazy so much. It's really hard work to handle official duties!"

Thinking about it carefully, if the emperor wants to be a Mingjun, he has to work 360 days a year, [-] days a day, like the Internet writers of later generations, and he has to work extremely hard every day.

Rubbing his wrists, Zhao Kuo walked out of the official office and was ready to go home in a carriage.

Tomorrow is the day when Zhao Kuo will go to Hedong County.

As soon as the carriage drove out of the gate of Da Sima's office, it was blocked by an oncoming carriage.

The carriage on the opposite side was a carriageless carriage with umbrella that was very popular in this era, and the person sitting on it was none other than Zhao Guotai Master Han Xuwei.

Han Xuwei looked at Zhao Kuo and said triumphantly, "I heard that Lord Wu Xin is going to Hedong tomorrow?"

Zhao Kuo responded lightly.

Han Xuwei twirled his beard and said with a proud smile: "Well, now the focus of Da Zhao is to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, and Hedong County is actually just a small battlefield.

However, the old man felt that even if Lord Wu Xin went to the small battlefield in Hedong County, he had to work hard, otherwise, if he was captured by the Qin people, wouldn't it be a burden to Lord Wu Xin's great prestige? "

After finishing speaking, Han Xu laughed out of self-satisfaction.

Zhao Kuo suddenly understood something.

Han Xuwei is a grand teacher, his office is quite far from Zhao Kuo's Da Sima official office, and it is not on the way home.

So this old boy came here to pretend to be aggressive?

Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sighed, and looked at Han Xuwei with sympathetic eyes: "Master, have you heard a word?"
