Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Li Mu said: "The middle strategy is for the king of Yan to use all his troops to conquer the country and lead his own army to fight against our army.

Like us Zhao people, the Yan people have always been known for their bravery. Once the king of Yan conquers, the morale of the Yan army will be greatly improved, and at least more than 15 troops can be recruited.

An army of 15 with high morale is almost impossible to defeat for our army's current combat effectiveness. "

Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "This strategy sounds very good, but judging from my understanding of King Yan, this person should not make such a risky move."

In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was very common for the emperor of Zhou to conquest in person. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was not uncommon for the princes of various countries to conquest in person. However, in the Warring States Period, the records of the kings in various countries decreased rapidly. The most recent conquest was led by King Wuling of Zhao almost 40 years ago. Zhao Guo's army wiped out the battle of Zhongshan. Since then, there is no record of any monarch's personal conquest.

Li Mu nodded: "Then it's a bad idea.

The worst strategy is for the National Assembly of Yan to organize an army led by generals like Ju Xin.

Since it is not a force that overwhelms the country, there is a high probability that the number of this army will not exceed 15.

If this army sticks to it, it may still be a big trouble for us, but the people of Yan State may take the initiative to choose a decisive battle in the wild with their superiority in strength, then our army can face and defeat the Yan army, so as to obtain the victory you want, my lord . "

Zhao Kuo laughed: "Do you really believe that our army can defeat the Yan army with less than 15 troops?"

Li Mu said with some doubts: "Isn't this the fact right in front of us?"

As a cavalry general who devotes himself to Chi You's army almost all the time, Li Mu feels that the cavalry under his command is truly invincible!Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "Okay, Ben Hou likes your self-confidence!"

In front, a scout rushed over and reported to Zhao Kuo: "Your Majesty, the news just sent back has found the traces of Yan Jun!"

"Oh?"

Zhao Kuo's eyes lit up, and he said, "Quick, tell me."

"Ji Xin is the main general of the Yan army, and Chang Guojun Lejian is the deputy general. He led 12 Yan troops from Jidu and is heading towards the Yanzhao border."

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "It will take two more days for the Marquis to rendezvous with the Bianqi Army, but the Yan Army has already set off from Jidu?

It seems that this time the king and ministers of the Yan Kingdom really meant to keep the enemy out of the country. "

Li Mu heard the words, but his complexion has changed, he said in a deep voice: "My lord, this is the contempt of the Yan people for you!"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Benhou will also be despised one day.

Li Mu, tell Ben Hou loudly, can Ben Hou win? "

Li Mu took a deep breath, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and roared loudly: "Wu Xinjun Wansheng, Great Zhao Wansheng!"

Not far away, many Zhao Jun cavalry raised their arms and roared: "Wu Xinjun Wansheng, Great Zhao Wansheng!!"

Amidst the roar, the [-] dragon troops rushed north without stopping, with momentum like a rainbow!

Chapter 315 Can Zhao Kuo Win?Ask Bai Qi

Qin State Xianyang, Prince's Mansion.

Lu Buwei looked at Mao Sui in surprise: "Forty thousand soldiers and horses to attack the country of Yan?

Junhou, he..." Lu Buwei really wanted to ask Junhou whether he was crazy, but in the end he didn't say it.

Mao Sui looked at Lu Buwei, and said calmly: "Mr. Lu, the order given to you by the Marquis this time is very simple, that is, to persuade the crown prince Yingzi Chu to give him another chance to perform in front of the King of Qin."

The main task of Lu Buwei and Mao Sui in Qin State was to escort Ying Zichu, and then became an important minister of Qin State after Ying Zichu inherited the throne of Qin.

With the status of Qin State's important ministers, the value of the two internal responses will undoubtedly be maximized, which is also in the best interest of Zhao Kuo and Zhao State.

Lu Buwei nodded and said: "Of course I understand this task, it's just that the king's side can really win?"

There are only [-] cavalry.

Mao Sui frowned, and said lightly: "When did your order go wrong?

Mr. Lu, you just need to follow orders. "

Lu Buwei was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

Sometimes, Lu Buwei felt that it was a genius trick for Zhao Kuo to use Mao Sui to partner with him. Lu Buwei was conceited that he was also a genius, but he had a feeling that he couldn't use it in front of Mao Sui.

This guy is completely out of touch.

Lu Buwei turned around and went to Ying Zichu's study.

Under the guidance of Lu Buwei, Ying Zichu has performed outstandingly in military and state affairs one after another. Therefore, the King of Qin has now begun to send some not-so-important government affairs to the Prince's Mansion for Ying Zichu to try to deal with.

"I have seen the prince."

Lu Buwei saluted respectfully.

Seeing Lu Buwei's arrival, Ying Zichu immediately put down his pen and said with a happy smile, "Mr. Lu Buwei, you are here.

It just so happens that I have something to look for you too. "

Lu Buwei's heart moved, and he asked: "Could it be that Zhao Guowu Xinjun defeated Yan?"

Ying Zichu looked at Lu Buwei in surprise: "My father just sent someone to deliver the news, and Mr. Lu already knew about it. It seems that Mr. Lu's news is also very well-informed."

Lu Buwei couldn't help jumping in his heart, and secretly screamed that he almost revealed his secrets, and hurriedly said: "To tell you the truth, the prince, I just learned from the contacts in the palace, and they actually only told the news to the prince for the sake of the prince. .”

Only then did Ying Zichu understand, and said with a smile: "Since you already know, it will save me the effort to explain it to you again.

Regarding this matter, my father will start a court meeting tomorrow to discuss it. What kind of opinion do you think I should come up with then? "

After several successes in the past, the current Ying Zichu trusts Lu Buwei very much, and it can be said that he obeys his words.

Lu Buwei took a deep breath, pretending to ponder, but actually he was tangled in his heart.

In Lu Buwei's view, Zhao Kuo attacked Yan with only [-] cavalry, which was simply courting death.

Even though Zhao Guo's cavalry is strong enough, in the past few battles, like the Battle of Changping, didn't the infantry play the leading role?

Yes, everyone knows that Wu Xinjun has a powerful cavalry called Chi You Army, but Lu Buwei also knows the number of Chi You Army, which is only 5000.

Can a mere 10,000 cavalry be able to defeat Yan's [-] or even [-]+ army?

Impossible.

However, Zhao Kuo's orders were so confident that Lu Buwei was in a dilemma.

To put it bluntly, there is still a trace of luck in Lu Buwei's heart, that is, if one day he really becomes the prime minister of Qin, maybe he should consider getting rid of Zhao Kuo's control. Value is profit rather than loyalty.

Suddenly, Lu Buwei had an idea, and said: "Prince, I don't know the way of the army formation very well, and I am not very sure about this matter.

But now there is a person in Daqin who knows the way of the army and Lord Wu Xin very well. Why doesn't the prince ask this person? "

Ying Zichu hurriedly said: "Who is this person, Wei Liao or Wang Lu?"

Lu Buwei laughed, and said: "No.

Has the prince forgotten the former God of War in Great Qin, Lord Wu An, Bai Qi? "

Baiqi Mansion.

After successive failures, Bai Qi was not only deprived of the title of Lord Wu'an, but also his position, and ordered to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors at home.

It took more than a year to think about it. With the accession of the new Qin King, everyone in the Qin political circle seemed to have forgotten the former Great Qin God of War. The gate that was originally full of guests is now empty.

Therefore, when the prince's carriage arrived, one can imagine the shock to everyone in the mansion.

The white-haired Bai Qi went out to meet him in person, invited the prince and Lu Buwei to the hall, and ordered them to serve drinks and cakes.

Lu Buwei carefully observed Bai Qi in front of him, maybe it was because the unfulfilling life weakened the spirit of Wu An Jun, or maybe it was because Bai Qi was like this in his daily life, Lu Buwei always felt that he was facing a very difficult person. The ordinary and kind old man of the Qin State was not the legendary super killer who killed hundreds of thousands of enemy soldiers.

Ying Zichu didn't talk nonsense, and straight to the point: "Bai Qing, I came today to ask you something."

Bai Qiqi nodded, and suddenly said: "The prince is leading [-] cavalry to attack Yan because of Zhao Guowu Xinjun Zhao Kuo?"

Ying Zichu looked at Bai Qi in surprise.

Lu Buwei is a close minister of Yingzi Chu, and it is reasonable to have connections in the palace. Is Bai Qi, an old guy who has been away from the center of Qin for more than a year, so well-informed?

For the first time, Ying Zichu felt that he might have underestimated this old man who was no longer Lord Wu An.

Ying Zichu's expression became serious and serious, and he said, "It's for this matter, what is Bai Qing's opinion on this matter?"

Originally Ying Zichu thought that Bai Qi might still think for a while, but what he didn't expect was that Bai Qi gave the answer immediately.

"To tell you the truth, the old man feels that the victory of this battle has already been divided."

"Who can win?"

"Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo will definitely win."

Seeing a calm face, but his tone of voice was extremely positive, Ying Zichu and Lu Buwei, a pair of monarchs and ministers, fell silent at the same time.

After a while, Ying Zichu said: "But Zhao Kuo only has [-] cavalry." Bai Qi sighed and interrupted Ying Zichu: "Prince, I am not lying. , then no matter how many soldiers and horses he brings, he must already have more than [-]% certainty of victory, can the prince understand?"

Lu Buwei's face seemed calm, but his heart had already set off a turbulent storm.

Originally thought that Bai Qi might hate Zhao Kuo very much, and would feel that Zhao Kuo would inevitably fail if he was vulnerable, but he never thought that Bai Qi would think that Zhao Kuo would definitely win?

Chapter 316 Zhao Kuo Can't Win

Coming out of Bai Qi's mansion, both Ying Zichu and Lu Buwei had complicated emotions.

The two sat opposite each other in the sealed carriage compartment, quietly listening to the sound of wheels rolling, horseshoes and human voices coming from outside the window, speechless for a while.

After a while, Ying Zichu took the initiative to break the silence and said, "Mr. Lu, what do you think of Wu An Baiqing's words?"

In this short period of time, Lu Buwei had countless thoughts in his mind, but in the end, these thoughts turned into a helpless smile.

"Prince, I feel that what Bai Qing said must be reasonable."

"understood."

The next day, Qin Wang Yingzhu convened a court meeting, and Ying Zichu, as the crown prince, naturally attended.

The core content of the court discussion this time is naturally to discuss the matter of Zhao Guo's attack on Yan.

Xiangbang Fan Sui was still the one who took the lead in expressing his opinion: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is impossible for Zhao Kuo to win this time."

Fan Sui's opinion is the same as that of most people in this world.

King Qin stroked his beard, and didn't even ask Fan Sui why he thought so, because King Qin thought so too.

Zhao Kuo is of course a famous general who has won all battles, but the last famous general Bai Qi who has been victorious in all battles came from Qin State, and the people of Qin State are no strangers to such famous generals.

If Bai Qi of Qin State can win the battle, then why can't Zhao Kuo of Zhao State?

King Qin said: "So, what should Ying Hou think Da Qin should do?"

Fan Sui smiled and said: "Naturally, we are recuperating and doing nothing, waiting for the news of Zhao Kuo's defeat.

Then the king can contact other princes, ready to deal a fatal blow to Zhao Guolai. "

Fan Sui's proposal is also very orderly.

First of all, rest and recuperate, and don't go to war with Zhao Guo, so as to ensure that Zhao Kuo's outrageous behavior of attacking Yan with [-] cavalry can continue.

Then, when Zhao Kuo suffered a defeat, the two generals Lian Po and Zhao Kuo of Zhao State were defeated within two years, and the blow to Zhao State can be imagined.

At this time, Qin State took advantage of the vacancy and contacted other princes to attack Zhao State, that would be the perfect time.

It has to be said that after all, Fan Sui also put forward the "distance and near attack", a powerful diplomatic strategy that can be said to have helped Qin finally complete the unification in history. His sensitivity in this aspect of diplomacy is unmatched.

King Qin nodded, and said casually, "Anyone else have any comments?"

The other important ministers of the Qin State were either silent or echoed.

No matter how you look at it, Fan Sui's opinion is very good.

Seeing that King Qin was about to announce Fan Sui's opinion as Qin's next course of action, Ying Zichu finally spoke.

"Father, I feel that Yinghou's strategy may be out of consideration."

As soon as Ying Zichu opened his mouth, he immediately caught the surprised eyes of everyone in the hall.

King Qin was obviously also a little surprised: "Zi Chuer, why do you say that?"

Yingzi Chu talked eloquently: "Father, Yinghou's strategies and responses were actually based on the inevitable defeat of Zhao Kuo.

But what if Zhao Kuo wins?

Therefore, Da Qin should immediately send troops to attack the east of Zhao Guo, so that Zhao Kuo can be held back, lest Zhao Kuo win another victory from Yan Guo, and make Zhao Guo's power even stronger! "

Although he knew he shouldn't laugh, Fan Sui couldn't help but smile at this time: "Does the prince think that Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo can win?"

At first, Fan Sui thought that Ying Zichu had some good ideas, but after hearing it, that's it?

[-] cavalry went to attack the country of Yan. Do you still think Zhao Kuo can win?
