Li Si's smile remained undiminished, and he appeared to be even more mocking: "Then, Qu Qing, does Tao County, Qin's enclave, still belong to Qin?"
Yi Feng was equally dumb.
Qin State's enclave, Tao County, was captured by Wei State in the previous years of war, and it is now Wei State's territory.
Li Si looked at the King of Chu and said earnestly, "Hasn't Your Majesty found out yet?
The decline or demise of Zhao State will not make Chu State stronger, but will only make Qi State, Yan State, South Korea, Wei State and even Qin State stronger. Which of these five countries has no blood feud with Chu State? , which country will not attack Chu after it becomes strong? "
The King of Chu opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Li Si continued: "Only our country of Zhao can't! Because our country of Zhao doesn't border Chu at all, so there is no conflict of interest between the two countries, and they are also the best natural allies.
But now, my lord, you have to sit back and watch your only best ally Zhao Guo be besieged to death by the princes, and sit back and watch your real enemies Qi, Yan, Han, Wei Zhu Guo gnaw on Zhao Guo's blood and land as nutrients to thrive , Is this the most wise choice you have made as the King of Chu? "
There was silence in the hall.
Although Li Si's words were indeed defending Zhao Guo, the King of Chu suddenly found out that they really made sense.
The demise of Zhao State did not allow Chu State to take the opportunity to grow stronger. Instead, it took a long time to make Qi State, South Korea, and other countries bordering Zhao State stronger. Wouldn't Chu State be at a loss?
King Chu's heart began to waver.
Of course, this wavering cannot be hidden from the eyes of Zhao Zhong and Qu Feng, and the two of them were immediately anxious.
Zhao Zhong immediately said: "Your emissary speaks with certainty, so let me ask you, what benefits can we gain from the cooperation between our Chu State and your Zhao State?"
Li Si laughed: "Of course it is beneficial, has the king forgotten the covenant he signed with my lord Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo before?
As long as Zhao and Chu can cooperate to attack Qin, Fangcheng, Yingdu and Yandu can all be taken back in the future. This is the most suitable road to the revival of Chu! "
Qu Feng snorted, and said coldly: "Mr. Wu Xin said the same thing to the king before, but Zhao Guo did not attack Qin, but went to fight Qi. How does your master explain this? "
Li Si said unhurriedly: "Could it be possible that Qu Qing forgot that my lord is only a courtier of Zhao State, not the King of Zhao State?
The matter of attacking Qi was strongly advocated by General Lian Po, and my family's lord has always been very opposed to it. That's why Lian Po led troops to attack Qi.
Now that Lian Po has suffered a big defeat, my lord's opinion has gained the Empress Dowager's attention.
With Lian Po's lessons learned, will the queen mother dare not cooperate with Chu in the future?
Qu Qing is worrying too much. "
Li Si's words can be said to be reasonable, beneficial and restrained. He successively refuted the two veteran ministers of Chu State, Zhao Zhong and Yi Feng, leaving them speechless.
Seeing this, the king of Chu couldn't help but become more shaken.
Li Si looked at the King of Chu again, and said very seriously: "I also know that the King is worried about the strength of the Zhao Kingdom, but now our Zhao Kingdom has lost troops and lost generals in Gaotang. With a loss of 12, how strong can it be? ?
If Dazhao really perishes, it’s not because the foreign ministers are alarmist, then Chu’s crisis will inevitably follow, and it is even very possible that Chu will become the second country to perish after Dazhao!What is it, please think twice, Your Majesty! "
Lord Chunshen observed the words and expressions, and knew that the King of Chu was very close to forming an alliance with Zhao again, so he immediately said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wu Xin has always kept his promises, but Qi, Han, and Wei often broke their alliances and attacked us before." Big Chu.
Instead of believing in countries like Qi, Han and Wei, it is better to side with Wu Xinjun and form an alliance! "
Chunshen Jun, as Ling Yin of the Chu State, the person most trusted by the King of Chu, his words finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
After a short silence, the King of Chu slapped his thigh and said seriously: "The envoy is right, come here, and immediately send the order of the widow to go to the front line of Lingqiu, and let Sima Jingyang lead the army back to the country!"
Chapter 249 Wu Xinjun is here!
Shi Jian
Zhao Guo, Lingqiu City.
General Lian Po of the Zhao State stood on the city wall, watching the five-nation coalition army camp outside the city, with an extremely complicated expression on his face.
It was these soldiers who defeated Lian Po in Gaotang City, causing Lian Po to lose 12 Zhao soldiers, and fled all the way back to Lingqiu City.
Then, these people chased after Lingqiu City, and wanted to kill Lian Po and the remaining 40 soldiers of the Zhao army! The [-] coalition forces surrounded Lingqiu City from the north, west, and south. The only part of Lingqiu City that was vacated was the Yellow River, a big river flowing northeastward.
The camps of countless coalition forces overlapped one after another, extending far away like patches of extremely dense forests, occupying every place that Lian Po could see.
This kind of encirclement net can't even fly out of a fly!It was not long after sunrise that countless coalition soldiers were pouring out of their tents and began to line up in the open space outside the camp.
On the city walls around Lianpo, there are Zhao soldiers who are defending everywhere.
Once upon a time, these soldiers of the Zhao army fought bravely in many places such as Changping, Hedong, and Lili, and wiped out countless enemies.
But now, these soldiers who have made great contributions to Zhao Guoli have dazed, dull and even frightened expressions on their faces.
Lian Po saw all this in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable.
Of course he knew the reason for all this, that was the defeat of Gao Tang more than half a month ago!The defeat of Gaotang resulted in more than half of the 20 Zhao army casualties, and even destroyed the confidence and confidence in the soldiers of this elite army that had swept the world. The long encirclement that followed brought the morale of these soldiers to the bottom. .
In the past few days, there have even been several cases of suicide in Lingqiu City due to despair.
It's actually not that much worse.
Lingqiu City was the grain and grass base of the Zhao army in the past, and a large amount of grain and grass were hoarded in the warehouses of the city so that Lian Po and the 40 defeated soldiers could persist until now, but the problem is that without reinforcements, the [-] soldiers outside the city It will be a matter of time before Lingqiu city is conquered by virtue of its numerical advantage.
Will there be reinforcements?
Lian Po hoped very much, but reason told him that it was impossible.
As the general of Zhao Guo, Lian Po was very aware of Zhao Guo's ability to mobilize. Zhao Guo was not incapable of mobilizing a large army, but it would take at least two to three months.
More than half a month can only allow Zhao Guo to mobilize more than [-] troops. It is difficult for such a large number of troops to even defend Handan, let alone come to support Lingqiu?
And sticking to it for two or three months is even more impossible in terms of the morale and combat effectiveness of the Zhao army in the city.
This is a dead end, Lian Po knows that he can only die slowly if this continues, but he can't find any way to get out of this predicament.
A general of the Zhao army appeared beside Lian Po with a dignified expression, and said softly, "General, the enemy is about to launch a new day of siege operations. Please go down to the city quickly, General."
Lian Po didn't respond, and his body didn't move.
After retreating to Lingqiu City, everything is not all right. The many corpses under the city wall and the blood-stained soil are enough to illustrate how Zhao Jun in Lingqiu spent these days.
A burst of passionate drums sounded, and the coalition soldiers who had already started to line up began to slowly approach the city wall of Lingqiu City.
This action immediately aroused the vigilance of the Zhao army on the Lingqiu city wall. The Zhao army commanders gave orders nervously to get the soldiers under their command to prepare to defend. The soldiers did respond, but they all seemed very listless during their actions , There is a feeling of resignation to fate.
Looking at this scene, Lian Po felt even more depressed.
Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind.
Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, if it were you, what would you do?
I'm afraid you can't find any way.
The confidant once again persuaded, "General, it's really time to leave!"
Lian Po was silent for a moment, then heaved a long sigh, turned around and prepared to go down the wall.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted on the city wall, "Look, everyone, is that our Great Zhao's army?"
This sentence immediately made Lian Po stop, and turned around to look.
On the distant horizon, a red flag suddenly appeared, followed by the second and third. Came from the direction of Qiucheng.
Lian Po was stunned, "Who is it?
Who could come to the rescue at this time?
How could he have so many soldiers and horses to rescue? "
Not only Lian Po, but all Zhao soldiers on the city wall were stunned.
Gradually, someone started to shout.
"It's really reinforcements!"
"Our reinforcements are here!"
"Look, everyone, it's Wu Xinjun's handsome flag!"
"Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun is here to save us!"
The name Wu Xinjun seemed to have some kind of magical power, which made the soldiers of the Zhao army on the city wall smile, and some even jumped for joy.
The heavy and stagnant atmosphere that was everywhere seemed to disappear at once, and countless sunshine seemed to pour into everyone's hearts, completely sweeping away all the previous haze in an instant.
The corner of Lian Po's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he showed a relieved smile.
"Old Master Wu Xinjun knew it was you."
It can only be Zhao Kuo, who else?
But soon, the smile on the corner of Lian Po's mouth began to slowly disappear again.
Because his subordinates counted the flags with him.
"Aren't there only 10 people with one hundred banners of thousands of generals?"
The moment Lian Po calculated this number, all the hope that had just surged in Lian Po's heart faded away.
What is the use of 10 people?
There is a full 40 troops outside!Lian Po was silent for a moment, heaved a long sigh, and walked down the city wall, without looking at Zhao Kuo's support army outside.
Zhao Kuo outside the city didn't know that his arrival had aroused so many rich emotions in Lian Po's heart, but at this moment Zhao Kuo didn't want to know at all, he just waved his hand lightly, and said in a deep voice, "pass on , The defense formation of the whole army slowly advanced.
Then send someone to tell Li Mu that he and all the soldiers of the Chi You Army are ready to attack at any time! "
This battle must not be won?
Maybe people in the whole world think so, but Zhao Guowu Xinjun Zhao Kuo doesn't think so!Zhao Kuo raised his arm high and swung it down vigorously, "Tell everyone, we will win this battle!"
Chapter 250 Zhao Kuo's Second Hand Preparations
The arrival of Zhao Kuo immediately aroused the attention of another group of people, who were the main generals of the Five Nations Allied Forces.
The reason why there is a word "men" is because this time the five-nation coalition is not like the previous Zhao Hanwei coalition with a country that can dominate and become the main general.
The state of Qi is the organizer in name, but in fact, neither the leader of Chu State Jingyang nor the leader of Wei State Jin Bi is very fond of the account of the leader of Qi State Kuang Liang. These two countries have fought for hegemony in the past 200 years But there is no shortage of wars with Qi.
Therefore, today's Five-Nation Allied Forces must gather everyone to discuss things, which is very democratic.
The first person to respond was Han Junjun's general, "It's actually Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo?
You must be careful. "
The reaction of the general Han Jun was immediately ridiculed by others.
Yan Jun's chief general, Yan Guoyaqing Ju Xin touched his white beard and sneered, "Be careful?
Isn't Zhao Kuo's army only 10, but we have a full army of 40!If the old man had to say it, it was Wu Xinjun himself who should be careful this time! "
General Kuang Liang of the Qi Army nodded slowly, and said, "That's right, before Lian Po led the main force of Zhao's army of 20, they were not our opponents, let alone Zhao Kuo's mere [-]?"
After defeating Lian Po, Kuang Liang can be said to be full of confidence at the moment, with the momentum of "I am the real No. 1 general in the world".
General Jing Jingyang of the Chu Army gave a sinister grin, and said, "This Wu Xinjun still has a little grievance with this old man, and this time he happened to settle the grievance on the battlefield!"
General Jin Bi sighed and said, "Mr. Wu Xin is a good man, but it's a pity that we really have to defeat him this time."
Although Zhao Kuo's prestige has long been known, but this time four of the five-nation coalition generals still showed strong self-confidence and certainty.
40 against [-], how can you lose!Having said that, the next order of the chief general of the Five Nations Allied Forces still showed enough fear of Zhao Kuo, and it could even be said to be respected.
A total of 20 soldiers and horses were mobilized to meet Zhao Kuo's troops!Not only that, the attack on the direction of Lingqiu City was also suspended, and the remaining 20 soldiers and horses lined up in place, waiting for reinforcements at any time and meeting Zhao Kuo.
Lian Po, who had just returned to the headquarters, relaxed after receiving the news, but then became very complicated.
This actually means that the commanders of the coalition forces did not take Lian Po in Lingqiu City seriously at all!After a moment of silence, Lian Po slowly stood up.
"Pass down the order, the whole army prepares for war, let the old man's personal guards get ready, and go out of the city with the old man to charge and kill at any time!"
At this moment, the great general of Zhao State had murderous intent on his face.
He did fail, but he was Lian Po after all!Outside the city, Zhao Kuo watched the 20 coalition troops approaching slowly, with a smile on his lips.
"These guys really value me." By Zhao Kuo's side, Xu Li was already eager to try. "My lord, let me lead the vanguard to kill them!"
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "General Xu, send the order down, and Ming Jin will retreat!"
Usually Zhao Kuo would be called Uncle Xu, but on such a serious occasion, it is more appropriate to call him by his official position.
Xu Li was taken aback for a moment, "Stop fighting?"
Zhao Kuo laughed, "We chose the attack formation to prevent the coalition forces from launching an attack on Lingqiu City so easily. Now that this goal has been achieved, why continue to fight?"
