Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Han Xuwei smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "People are stupid and have no medicine! This Marquis thinks this sentence is perfect for sending to the Grand Master."

Han Xuwei was stunned, and after a few seconds he came back to his senses and flew into a rage, and slammed his palm on the armrest of the seat beside him fiercely: "Zhao Kuo, you are so openly insulting the old man! ?”

Zhao Kuo shook his head, and said lightly: "Teacher, for the sake of the fact that you have done so much for Da Zhao, I would like to advise you to keep a low profile when you are old, otherwise if you jump too high In the future, the fall will be heavier, and you may fall to your death all at once!"

After saying this, Zhao Kuo ordered the coachman to drive, passed Han Xuwei's carriage and drove away.

Han Xuwei was trembling with anger, unable to speak for a long time.

He really came to see Zhao Kuo's jokes, but he didn't expect to be angry with Zhao Kuo instead.

"That's all."

Han Xuwei gritted his teeth: "Let Zhao Kuo jump around for a few more days, and when the news of the general's victory comes back, I want to see how he continues to pretend!"

This matter soon spread into the palace, and the Queen Mother immediately called Han Xuwei into the palace to inquire after hearing about it, and then Han Xuwei sued Zhao Kuo viciously.

"Empress Dowager, this Zhao Kuo is so domineering at such a young age, if the power becomes stronger in the future, what will happen?

It is the blessing of Great Zhao that we must get rid of this beast as soon as possible! "

Han Xuwei was so angry, how many years had he been scolded so badly in the street?

If it gets out, what kind of face is there?

The Empress Dowager's face was gloomy, and after a long time she said: "Now Da Zhao still needs Lord Wu Xin, let's talk about it later."

Han Xuwei left very unhappy, and when he walked outside the gate of the main hall, he couldn't help saying bitterly: "Women really can't do anything!"

Han Xuwei thought that there was no one around, but he never imagined that a pair of eyes were quietly staring at him in the shadows, hearing his words clearly.

Another half an hour later, Zhou Shaofen was ordered to enter the palace.

"Queen Mother, I don't know what's the matter with the summoner?"

During this period, Zhou Shaofen is also very busy. You must know that during the war, there are always many incidents of officials breaking the law and discipline, such as robbing civilian women in the name of conscription, assassinating those dissatisfied ordinary people, and even embezzling military supplies, etc. wait.

Every time there is a war, many of these corrupt officials can be found and killed, but there will still be more of them in the next war, just like a never-ending cycle.

The queen mother briefly told Zhou Shaofen the ins and outs of the matter, and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Zhou Shaofen thought for a long time before saying: "Queen Mother, I think this is actually a sign that Lord Wu Xin has no objection."

"Oh?"

The Queen Mother raised her tone in surprise.

Zhou Shaofen said: "Empress Dowager, please think about it, those rebellious officials and thieves in history, for example, the Tian family who replaced the Jiang family to rule Qi.

When Tian was a minister, he kept hiding his clumsiness and secretly invited people to buy people's hearts. On the surface, he was respectful to King Jiang, which not only made the king relax his vigilance, but also made people's hearts stand on Tian's side.

But now that Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo have shown their sharpness, how can there be any trace of the hidden and clumsy appearance of Tian's back then? "

The Empress Dowager's eyebrows frowned, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "The old woman still feels that Mr. Wu Xin has objections!"

This is a woman's intuition, but compared with before, what the queen mother said is obviously not so confident.

Zhou Shaofen said with a smile: "Even if Lord Wu Xin really has objections, his foundation is in the military, officials and civilians have no influence at all, so why should he come here to make trouble?

In terms of the army, the general Lian Po is above Wu Xinjun.

The veteran believes that the really important thing now is to teach the king well. As long as the king can be as wise as King Wu Ling, King Hui and the previous kings in the future, Lord Wu Xin will be the second in vain at most. There is no threat to the Zhao regime. "

The Empress Dowager was silent again, and after a while she said: "The old lady understands, you can go down."

After Zhou Shaofen left, the Empress Dowager looked at the Eunuch Ling who had just emerged from the shadows, and said, "How?"

Although this eunuch order is not obvious, he is an old man who has been served by the queen mother since she entered the palace, and is also the most trusted person of the queen mother.

Eunuch Ling said softly: "The old minister doesn't know if what Zhou Qing said is right or not, but the old minister just heard a sentence from the grand master when he left." With a bang, the queen mother couldn't help but pat the table after hearing this sentence. , the pretty face was covered with frost: "This Han Xuwei actually said that the old woman is a woman and can't do anything?

good very good. "

At this moment, the Empress Dowager finally determined the candidate for Zhao Guo's first loyal minister.

Not Han Xuwei, but Zhou Shaofen!

Chapter 237 Han Wei's Secret Transformation

The capital of Wei State, Daliang City.

The king of Wei was on the top throne, watching the envoy of Qi State who was earnestly expressing his feelings in front of him.

I just heard the envoy of Qi State say: "Your Majesty, Qi State, Zhao State and Wei State are all countries that are close at hand. If Zhao State really succeeds this time and destroys our Qi State, then Zhao State will definitely attack Wei State next. ! As the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, please think again, Your Majesty!"

King Wei's heart moved slightly when he heard the words, but he didn't say anything, he just said lightly: "The envoy, please go to the side hall to rest first, and let the widow discuss with the ministers."

After the envoy of Qi State left, King Wei said: "You all heard clearly just now, what should be done specifically, let's talk about your own opinions."

An important minister of Wei State said: "Your Majesty, we have just signed an alliance with Zhao State, and now Lord Xinling is following Lian Po to conquer Qi State. Will breaking the alliance at this time make the princes of the world question the reputation of our State of Wei? ?

Moreover, if the State of Zhao really destroys the State of Qi, our Great Wei can also get a share of it, which is not completely useless. "

This one obviously supports the Wei-Zhao League.

But as soon as this person's voice fell, Jin Bi's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, I think what this envoy said is very reasonable. This time, Great Wei should stand up against Zhao Guo!"

King Wei looked at Jin Bi, and said with a little surprise, "General Jin Bi, I remember that you fought with Zhao Guowu Xinjun two years ago, why did you oppose Zhao Guo?"

Jin Bi said in a low voice: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is precisely because I have been in contact with Zhao Guowu Xinjun that I know Zhao Guo's ambitions.

The State of Zhao is not satisfied with expanding its territory, what they want is to completely destroy the other six countries, and bring the whole world under the rule of the State of Zhao!Your Majesty, such a state of Zhao must not become stronger, otherwise it will be like the state of Qin a few years ago, and even the alliance of the six countries will be helpless. "

The important official who supported Zhao Guo before was obviously unhappy, and said coldly: "General Jin Bi, why didn't you say these things when Mr. Pingyuan of Zhao Guo came to the alliance?"

The words imply that Jin Bi is double-decker.

Jin Bi laughed and said sternly, "When Lord Pingyuan came, the state of Zhao was shaking the world, if the Great Wei didn't agree, he would be conquered by the state of Zhao at that time, and it is very likely that there would be no reinforcements.

But now?

As long as Great Wei can stand on the opposite side of Zhao State, then Great Wei will have Qi State, Chu State and Yan State as a helping hand.

Moreover, the Zhao people would never have thought that our Great Wei would stab them in turn during the decisive battle. With such an advantage in strength and surprise, we will definitely be able to defeat Lian Po and severely damage the Zhao country! "

After a pause, Jin Bi looked at the King of Wei, and said very earnestly, "Your Majesty, Daliang, the capital of Wei, is the closest country to Handan of Zhao State. Once Zhao State becomes fully powerful, there will be endless troubles.

Now is the only opportunity that can prevent Zhao Guo from continuing to grow stronger, and please take good care of it, don't miss it again! "

King Wei took a deep breath, thinking carefully, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Jin Bi said made sense.

Of course, King Wei is not ignorant of the threat of Zhao Guo becoming stronger, it's just that he couldn't beat it before and couldn't do anything about it.

Now this opportunity is in front of King Wei, as long as King Wei makes a choice, the probability of victory is actually very high!Moreover, Mr. Pingyuan, Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, is still the brother-in-law of Mr. Xinling, whom King Wei fears the most, and King Wei took a deep breath, and said decisively: "Come here, invite the envoys of the State of Qi to come up, be more polite and respectful! Also, immediately Let someone send an order to Lord Xinling as quickly as possible, telling him that the widow has formed an alliance with Qi, and he knows what to do in the final battle!"

The capital of South Korea, Xinzheng.

King Han looked at the envoy of Chu State in front of him, his eyes flickered slightly.

This envoy is none other than Zhaozhong, the patriarch of the Zhao family among the three major families of Chu State, Shangzhu State of Chu State!Just listen to Zhao Zhong said: "Your Majesty, the Shangdang County in your country was directly occupied by Zhao Guo, and it has not been returned yet.

In the battle of Hedong County, South Korea also sent out its elite to help Zhao Guo, but in the end they didn't get even an inch of land.

Is such a state of Zhao really worth following in South Korea?

Moreover, as long as Zhao State continues to grow stronger, it will continue to launch wars like Qin State back then. Your country, as the weaker among the seven vassal states and close to Zhao State, is definitely the priority target of Zhao State's conquest.

South Korea can't make Zhao Guo bigger, please think twice, king! "

Faced with Zhao Zhong's analysis, Han Wang fell silent, and after a long time he said slowly: "Zhaoqing, what you said is indeed very reasonable.

But if you don’t think about it, the Queen Mother Zhao is a relative of the widow, and Han Xuwei, the Grand Master of Zhao Guo, is my Dahan clan, how could they easily attack Dahan? "

Zhaozhong couldn't help laughing out loud, the laughter was so piercing that it made King Han's face turn livid, and he wanted to get someone to drive Zhaozhong out several times, but he still didn't do so.

After a while, Zhaozhong stopped laughing, and said seriously: "Your Majesty's words are so wrong! Think about the former king of Qin, Yingji, whose mother, Mi, is the daughter of our royal family of Chu, and Wei Ran, the last chancellor of Qin. We are from Chu, but does this prevent Qin from attacking us?

No!The Qin people not only attacked our Great Chu, but also robbed the capital of Great Chu, and burned down the tombs of our ancient kings of Great Chu!If the king is still obsessed with this blood relationship, the foreign ministers are afraid that the next country where the tombs of the ancestors will be burned will be South Korea! "

These words were extremely sharp and piercing, and King Han's expression changed drastically, and he was speechless for a long time.

The death of the master and the throwing of the earth is barely justified, but if it is true that the graves of the ancestors are burned and the ashes are thrown away, what face does King Han have to face his ancestors underground after his death?

During a period of intense psychological struggle, King Han said slowly: "If the widows let the frontline generals turn against the water and help Qi, what good will it do?"

Zhaozhong heard King Han's intention, and was overjoyed immediately, saying: "As long as we have South Korea's help, we will definitely win this battle! After the victory, the coalition forces of the princes will surely take advantage of the victory to pursue and surround Handan, and by then Shangdang County will be empty and empty. Defensively, South Korea just regained Shangdang County!"

King Han took a deep breath, punched the table viciously, and said to Zhaozhong and several Korean officials in front of him: "Okay, then do it like this!"

Later that day, a messenger left Xinzheng East Gate, escorted by twenty elite soldiers, and headed east.

Just five days after the undercurrents of South Korea and the Kingdom of Wei were surging, and five days after the monarchs of the two countries made their decisions, a decisive battle was already brewing outside Gaotang City in the territory of Qi.

Chapter 238 Know Zhao Kuo, don't you take the old man Lian Po seriously?

State of Qi, outside Gaotang city.

Although the seven heroes of the Warring States Period all came from the Zhou Dynasty system, they each evolved their own different characteristics over a long period of time.

For example, the system of Qi State is the "Five Capitals System". This country has a total of five capitals: Linzi, Pinglu, Gaotang, Jimo, and Ju, each of which is equivalent to a county in other countries.

As one of the five capitals of Qi State, Gaotang is the most important city on the western border of Qi State.

At this moment, under the leadership of Lian Po, the 30 Zhao, Han and Wei allied forces of the Three Jins set up a camp on the west side of Gaotang City.

Originally, the coalition forces of the Three Jin Dynasties had already launched a massive attack on Gaotang City, but Qi Guo Da Sima Kuangliang had already led 18 Qi troops to Gaotang to hold on, and the two sides fought fiercely.

After a full ten days of siege, the Three-Jin Allied Forces failed to break through the city. Instead, Qi State waited for reinforcements from Yan State and Chu State successively.

The change in the situation forced Lian Po to give up the siege, and the two sides turned into a confrontation.

This situation undoubtedly upset Lian Po, especially after receiving the urgent letter from Lin Xiangru in Handan.

With a bang, Lian Po directly slapped Lin Xiangru's letter on the table, his face was livid, and fire flickered in his eyes: "Every day I know Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun and that. On one side, or on the side with Wu Xinjun?"

Lian Po sat in front of several confidant generals, and he couldn't help asking: "General, what's going on?"

Lian Po snorted, and said, "This letter from Lin Xiangru mentioned Zhao Kuo's analysis, guess what?

Zhao Kuo said that it is impossible for Qin people to attack our Hedong County. Zhao Kuo also said that the queen mother should send at least 15 troops to support us, because there may be problems between Korea and Wei! "

Lian Po's confidantes in the big tent were stunned for a moment when they heard the words, and then they couldn't help laughing out loud.

"It doesn't matter whether the people of Qin enter and attack Hedong County, that's a matter for Handan, but they still need to send troops to continue to support us?

This is underestimating our combat effectiveness. "

"That's right, Da Zhao's sweep of the world in the past few years is not based on the numbers, but on this elite team!"

"That's right, don't look at the Qi, Yan, and Chu Allied forces on the opposite side, which are more numerous, but they are simply mobs!"

In every sentence, what is shown is the high self-confidence of Lian Po's confidants.

Lian Po felt quite relieved by this and nodded repeatedly.

As for the news that the Korean and Wei armies might have problems, Lian Po just brought it up without even thinking about it.

South Korea is the mother country of the queen mother, and Han Xu double insurance for this old guy.

Lord Xinling of Wei State is also a loyal person, and Lord Xinling's brother-in-law is Lord Pingyuan, Prime Minister of Zhao State. It is impossible to make any fools out of things.

Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, is Zhao Kuo every day, there is not only one Zhao Kuo in Zhao Guo, but also the great general of the old man!The only problem now is that if the Qi army on the opposite side does not fight, there is really nothing to do with the strong city of Gaotang in Lianpo.

After thinking for a while, Lian Po said in a deep voice: "After a while, the old man will ask someone to write a letter of war to Kuang Liang in the city, and see if he dares to go out of the city to fight!"

At the same time, Wei Jun camped.

Many Wei generals were suddenly summoned to the tent.

Wei Wuji, Lord General of the Wei Army, raised his head from the secret letter in his hand in shock, looked at Jin Bi in front of him, and said, "Well, why did Your Majesty issue such an order?"

Jin Bi suppressed his smile, and said lightly, "Mr. Xinling, do you want to disobey the king's order?"

Lord Xinling took a deep breath and said: "However, we have clearly signed an alliance with the State of Zhao to attack the State of Qi, but now we are going to renege on the battle." Jin Bi said coldly: "My lord, it's not about you now. those times of faith.

We all know that your brother-in-law is Mr. Zhao Guoxiang Bang Pingyuan, but you have to understand that the interests of Great Wei are much more important than your so-called faith! "

"No!"

Lord Xinling suddenly shouted: "This is not good, how can Da Wei go back on what he says?"

Jin Bi suddenly took out a tiger talisman from his hand and held it up high: "Wei Wuji, since you are obsessed with your obsession, then according to the king's order, you will be deprived of your command right from now on, and this general will take command on your behalf!"
