Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Ying Zichu's laughter came from his heart. This was the first major Qin event he had taken the initiative to participate in since he became the crown prince. It was such a success, which naturally made the young Qin crown prince very happy.

Lu Buwei cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to the prince, the prince, now the king has a foundation of satisfaction with you, the prince, as long as you continue to maintain it, the future big position must be yours."

The smile on Ying Zichu's face grew stronger, he patted Lu Buwei on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I have one more thing to tell you.

Today in the hall, I have informed my father that this time it is mainly your contribution, so my father also agreed to reward you for your merits. From now on, you will be the head of the prince's family and the history of the Great Qin Zhili Neishi! "

Lu Buwei's body shook, he was both surprised and happy.

The official position of Zhi Li Neishi sounds a bit shabby, but in fact he is one of the nine ministers of the Qin State, and he is an out-and-out important minister of the Qin State.

In other words, from now on, Lu Buwei is also eligible to enter the main hall of Xianyang Palace to participate in important meetings of Qin State, express his views on Qin State's military and state affairs, and really affect Qin State's decision-making!Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, I never thought that not only would you be able to win, but you would even make this old man an important minister of the Qin State. Is this your real plan?

Thinking about it, Lu Buwei suddenly felt a little shuddering, but also a little rejoicing.

Such a terrible Wu Xinjun, if anyone becomes his enemy, it is really a terrible thing!

Chapter 265 Who Says This Battle Is Over?

Lingqiu City.

Zhao Kuo sat in the first seat, Lian Po sat in the second seat, and the other generals of Zhao State were separated on both sides.

Although it was a military meeting, the atmosphere of this meeting was extremely active.

Xu Li was reporting his achievements in a loud voice, "According to the overnight statistics of the military judges, 150 three enemy troops were beheaded in this battle, 420 two enemy troops were captured, and a total of 11 enemy troops were wiped out." 570 five people, rounded to 12 people!"

When the voice fell, there was a burst of cheers in the big tent.

The Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms had a total of 18 people, and Zhao Jun wiped out 12 at one time. It can be said that most of the main force of the Allied Forces was wiped out. It was an out-and-out victory.

Zhao Kuo also showed a smile on his face. The number of 12 annihilating enemies is not the most brilliant in terms of Zhao Kuo's historical record, but the significance of this battle is comparable to the Battle of Changping.

If this battle fails, Zhao State will have to defend Handan to the death. The Qi and Chu countries that had withdrawn from the army will inevitably make a comeback. The state of Zhao was completely doomed.

Zhao Kuo laughed and said sternly, "Everyone has worked hard.

No matter who came with this Marquis, or those who held back the 40 enemy attack in Lingqiu City before, they are all heroes of Zhao. "

After Zhao Kuo's words, those who followed Zhao Kuo to support were fine, but the generals of Zhao Jun in Lingqiu City had mixed feelings.

Zhao Jun in Lingqiu City is actually the Zhao Jun who was defeated by the coalition forces in the Battle of Gaotang. Strictly speaking, these people are all defeated generals. The result of demotion or even resignation and imprisonment.

Now Zhao Kuo expresses his willingness to give credit to these Zhao soldiers. With Zhao Kuo's influence in the country of Zhao and his status as the leader of the victory this time, he believes that he can exonerate most of the defeated generals present, and even Get a little reward.

Lian Po took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Thank you Wu Xinjun!"

Lian Po was the leader of this defeated army.

From below Lian Po, more than a dozen generals stood up one after another and saluted Zhao Kuo respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Kuo's request for credit this time not only redeemed their crime of defeat, but also saved the fate of many of them, so these generals were also extremely excited.

Zhao Kuo coughed and said with a smile, "Everyone, you are welcome, it's just a little effort.

But forgive me, although I can exonerate you all, how much military merit can you get?

You must know that there were only 1 people who fought with General Lian Po at that time. The rest of the troops in the city, their wounded and the pensions of the dead soldiers were a big problem without military merit, wasn't it? "

Zhao Kuo's words immediately hit the weakness of these generals.

Maybe they can get away with it personally, but what about their subordinates?

It’s okay to have no military exploits after fighting a battle. Many soldiers were injured or even died in battle.

A general said bitterly, "Your Majesty, it's because I'm not good at commanding you. Please, Your Majesty." Zhao Kuo interrupted the general, "This general misunderstood. If I deliberately exposed your scars, why bother?" How about you pleading guilty?

What Benhou wants to say is that indeed the soldiers of the reinforcements brought by the Marquis took most of the credit for the Battle of Lingqiu, but who said that the soldiers in Lingqiu City could not make contributions? "

After Zhao Kuo said this, everyone was stunned.

Lian Po seemed to understand something, and asked tentatively, "What does Wu Xinjun mean?" Zhao Kuo laughed, a very cruel light flashed in his eyes, "My meaning is very simple. Is this war over?

As long as we fight back and invade these countries that are so bold that they dare to invade Da Zhao, then won't everyone's military achievements come?

There is no need for any reinforcements to subsidize the soldiers in Lingqiu. The soldiers in Lingqiu will come to regain the glory for themselves. Are you willing? "

After Zhao Kuo's words fell, there was a brief silence in the big tent, and then all the generals of Zhao Jun in Lingqiu City spoke in unison and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am willing to wait!"

Although these generals in Lingqiu City are the defeated generals, but before the Battle of Gaotang, they were the top elite troops of Zhao State, and all of them were star-studded generals of Zhao State. It is comparable to self-confidence.

A failure cost many of their comrades-in-arms and brought unprecedented setbacks in their lives, but now Zhao Kuo's words were like a ray of sunshine suddenly appearing in the long night, giving them hope.

Only the blood of the enemy can wash away such shame!Lian Po looked at this scene, his face was also very excited, but then he was sad.

Perhaps these subordinates can wash away the shame, but Lian Po, as the general and the main person responsible for the first battle of Gaotang, is basically ordered to return to Handan to accept accountability and punishment.

Zhao Kuo obviously thought of this too, and smiled apologetically at Lian Po, "General, this Marquis will also make a statement to Handan, asking you to be my deputy, but it is really not sure about this matter."

Lian Po nodded and sighed, "Wu Xinjun has a heart."

Both Zhao Kuo and Lian Po knew very well that Zhao Kuo's statement to Lian Po was just to win the gratitude of these generals in the Battle of Lingqiu, but in any case, Zhao Kuo did help Lian Po all the way. Bundle.

Suddenly, Lian Po thought of something, and asked, "I wonder which country Wu Xinjun plans to attack?"

In the first battle of Gaotang, a total of five countries defeated Zhao Guo together. Although Zhao Guo reversed the situation and won, it is definitely unrealistic to invade five countries at once. We can only choose one of them to attack.

Zhao Kuo obviously already had the answer, grinning and said, "Wei State! This country's sudden rebellion in the Battle of Gaotang led to the defeat of Da Zhao. Daliang City is the nearest metropolis to Handan, so we use Wei State as the knife." Let the whole world know the fate of betraying our Great Zhao!"

Lian Po nodded, and said earnestly to Zhao Kuo, "Wu Xinjun, after you go to the territory of Wei State, you must help me kill a few more. This is what I owe you!"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, and replied seriously, "Please rest assured, General, Zhao Kuo will definitely live up to his trust!"

Chapter 266 Zhao Kuo is here, what should I do?

Handan, the main hall of the palace city of Zhao State.

Compared with the gloomy clouds and mist some time ago, the atmosphere in the hall at this moment is very relaxed and cheerful, which makes several Zhao Guozhong ministers feel like they have returned to their youth.

This is the atmosphere that Zhao Guo, the number one overlord in the world, should have!The Empress Dowager looked at the ministers of Zhao State present, with a smile on her face, and said slowly: "Zhu Qing, I just received the memorial from Lord Wu Xin. He said that he wants to continue to attack the State of Wei. I don't know what you think?"

Perhaps because of the victory, today's Empress Dowager seems to have become a lot more beautiful, and she looks more and more radiant.

Lord Pingyuan was the first to speak: "Queen Mother, this veteran thinks what Lord Wu Xin said is very reasonable.

The victory in the battle of Lingqiu will only be able to offset the battle of Gaotang. If you want to show the power of Zhao, you still have to continue to attack until the princes know how to be afraid! "

When Mr. Pingyuan spoke, there was a rare and obvious murderous intent and anger on his face.

As one of the famous "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period", Mr. Pingyuan spent his whole life contending against the powerful Qin State, and now he is in charge of the political affairs of Zhao State, the most powerful country in the world. Such a person has a tiger living in his heart. Let it go.

It wasn't just Mr. Pingyuan who was angry.

Xinjun Lin Xiangru agreed with Lord Pingyuan's opinion in a rare way: "Queen Mother, the old minister thinks what Lord Pingyuan said is very true. We must teach these traitors a lesson, so that all the princes know the fate of betraying Da Zhao!"

Lin Xiangru also hated South Korea and Wei Guo, two traitors, if it wasn't for the sudden betrayal of these two countries, how could Lin Xiangru's best friend Lian Po suffer that defeat in Gaotang?

Han Xuwei also said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, the veteran also feels that we should continue to attack!"

At this very rare moment, the three important ministers of Zhao State reached a consensus without any quarrel.

The queen mother nodded, and said lightly: "In this case, let Wu Xinjun continue to attack Wei."

After a pause, the queen mother said again: "Mr. Wu Xin also said another thing in the memorial. He hoped that the general Lian Po would take the blame and make meritorious deeds. As his deputy, he would continue to fight with him in Wei. What do you think?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was taken aback.

Lin Xiangru's eyes flickered, and he asked tentatively, "I wonder what the Empress Dowager thinks of the general?"

The Empress Dowager lowered her face and said coldly: "Gao Tang's defeat, the General as the commander must bear the blame! How to discuss the crime, let's discuss it after he returns to Handan."

Although these words seemed harsh, Lin Xiangru felt relieved.

In such a big defeat, if the Queen Mother really wanted to deal with Lian Po, it would be a matter of saying a word. Even if Lian Po was really going to be executed, Lin Xiangru would have nothing to say.

Therefore, the "discussion" mentioned by the queen mother is to put it bluntly, to give Lin Xiangru and other Lian Po's allies a chance to exonerate Lian Po.

Why get away with it?

The reason for this is even simpler. Of course, it is because it is necessary to establish a character in the army who will fight against Zhao Kuo, so that Zhao Kuo's army will not be controlled by Zhao Kuo.

Lin Xiangru coughed lightly, and said: "The old minister thinks that the current situation of General Lian Po is really not suitable for continuing to lead the army. Let him return to Handan to reflect."

Lin Xiangru's suggestion was mainly based on the idea of ​​protecting Lian Po.

Lin Xiangru and Lian Po are old friends for many years, and they are very aware of Lian Po's arrogance. Now that Lian Po has lost the battle, he has to serve as Zhao Kuo's lieutenant. Isn't this a humiliation to Lian Po?

In case Lian Po causes trouble in the army, Zhao Kuo, as the chief general, can even kill Lian Po directly!So Lin Xiangru decided to let Lian Po return to Handan in a short period of time.

Now that Lin Xiangru, Lian Po's biggest ally, said so, of course Han Xuwei, who was close to Lin Xiangru and Lian Po's faction, would not object, and Mr. Pingyuan was happy that Lian Po would not have to steal Zhao Kuo's military exploits when he came back, so this time Lin Xiangru's proposal was passed without being opposed at all.

Five days later, Zhao Jun camped in Lingqiu City.

Lian Po changed into his usual plain clothes and looked like an ordinary tall old man. He walked up to Zhao Kuo and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, I want to talk to you alone."

Zhao Kuo nodded, motioned to the left and right to back away, and said, "General, please speak."

Lian Po cupped his hands towards Zhao Kuo, and said: "First of all, I would like to thank you for your kindness of coming to help this time, and I also want to thank you for giving my subordinates a chance to make a contribution.

If the old man is dismissed after returning to Handan this time, even at that time, I will ask Wu Xinjun to command the soldiers of the Great Zhao to sweep across the countries, so that the soldiers of the Great Zhao will run rampant in the world! "

Zhao Kuo nodded, waiting for Lian Po's next words.

Lian Po coughed a few times and continued: "Secondly, I want to tell you that if this time I can still gain a foothold in Da Zhao's political arena, then I will never admit defeat.

Next time there is a chance, I will still compete with you for the position of the chief general! "

In the wind of late spring, the old general's sideburns were blown up and fluttered non-stop.

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a while, then laughed loudly: "Okay, Benhou is waiting for the next competition of the general!"

Lian Po bowed his hands towards Zhao Kuo, then turned around and got into the carriage, and left slowly under the protection of hundreds of personal guards.

Seeing Lian Po's leaving figure, Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Without this transmigrated soul, Lian Po would indeed still be Zhao Guo's No.1 general, but is that really a good thing for Zhao Guo?

Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, put aside all distracting thoughts in his mind, and calmly issued an order: "Send the order, the whole army will attack."

At Zhao Kuo's order, the 13 soldiers and horses regrouped after the Battle of Lingqiu and the 18 reinforcements who arrived from all over Zhao State in the past five days, a total of [-] soldiers and horses went directly southward, heading straight for the territory of Wei State. and go.

One day later, Zhao Jun entered the territory of Wei State, a vassal state of Wei State, and captured Puyang, the capital of Wei State, three days later.

Five days later, Zhao Jun crossed the Yellow River and officially entered the territory of Wei State.

When the news spread, the whole world was shaken, and even the palace of Daliang City in Wei State was filled with gloomy clouds and mist.

King Wei took a deep breath, looked at Jin Bi and Lord Xinling who were kneeling in front of him, he was extremely irritable, wishing to draw his sword and kill directly.

But in the end, the supreme ruler of the Wei Kingdom managed to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Let's talk, what should we do now?"

There was silence in the hall.

After a while, King Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table and roared angrily: "Zhao Kuo is about to hit Daliang, isn't one or two of you usually good at talking?

Now, tell the widow what to do! "

Chapter 267 Can Wei State Be Destroyed Directly?

King Wei was really angry.

After hearing that Qi and Chu had withdrawn their troops, King Wei's first thought was to withdraw his troops and seek peace from Zhao.

At that time, the State of Zhao suffered a new defeat after all. Presumably, the State of Wei's peace proposal should be relatively smooth. If it doesn't work, just cut off a few cities and pay some money. Two top commercial cities, money is not a problem for Wei Guo at all.

But the situation is different now. Zhao Kuo has already brought 18 soldiers and horses into the territory of Wei State. If Wei State can't handle it well, it is not impossible to destroy the country.

Facing King Wei's rare gaffe, Lord Xinling finally gritted his teeth and spoke first: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to gather troops now, otherwise, we will not be able to fight Zhao Jun at all."

Wei Xiang snorted and said, "How many soldiers and horses can we gather now?"

Lord Xinling thought for a while, and said: "If we use the power of the whole country, we should be able to gather around 16 people."

Due to the objective condition of population, the number of soldiers and horses that can be assembled by each country naturally has a limit number.

As the two weakest countries, Yan and South Korea have a national strength of about 20. Qi and Chu are stronger and can recruit about 25 troops. Qin is stronger, but these few Zhao Kuo repeatedly wiped out 30 and 30 troops in [-], so about [-] soldiers and horses can be mobilized right now.

Back to the state of Wei, the national power of the state of Wei is between Yan, Han, Qi, and Chu, so the power of the whole country is about 22 to 16. The entire army was almost wiped out by Zhao Kuo, so the current figure of [-] is more realistic.
