Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Since Handan was established as the capital of Zhao State, Handan has been attacked by other princes several times, but there is only one record of being breached.

That was more than 90 years ago, General Pang Juan of the State of Wei led 10,000+ troops of the State of Wei to attack the State of Zhao, all the way to the city of Handan, and finally broke through Handan after a whole year.

It was at this time that King Wei of Qi sent Tian Ji and Sun Bin to lead the Qi army to rescue Zhao Guo. Tian Ji led the army to attack Daliang at Sun Bin's suggestion, forcing Pang Juan to withdraw from the occupied Handan and return to aid. It is the very famous "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" in history.

After the Wei army led by Pang Juan broke through Handan, they burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes, which brought great suffering to the people of Zhao State.

As a typical Zhao countryman, it is not surprising that Xu Li issued such a blatant declaration of revenge.

But Li Mu put forward another idea: "My lord, it is better to let the ministers lead a partial army to attack other cities of Wei State. Now nearly half of the territory of Wei State is controlled by our army. If all other cities are captured, Daliang The morale in the city is bound to be demoralized, how long can we hold on with Daliang City as an isolated city?"

Li Mu's proposal is another style, but it sounds like it is also feasible.

Li Mu's tactics are actually the tactics used by Le Yi when he attacked Qi.

At that time, Le Yi went down to 72 cities in Qi State, and then besieged the last two stubborn cities of Jucheng and Jimo for a long time.

If it wasn't for the sudden death of King Yan Zhao, and the enthroned King Yan Hui dismissed Le Yi from the position of Lord General, Jimo and Jucheng would surely be conquered after another year or two, and there would be no future for Tian Dan to restore Qi. story up.

In addition to Xu Li and Li Mu, many other generals of Zhao State also put forward some strategies and suggestions.

Zhao Kuo did not express any opinion on anyone's strategy or suggestion, but uttered an unexpected order.

"Come here, bring Lord Xinling and General Jin Bi to this Marquis."

Since the fall of Pingqiu City, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji and General Wei Jinbi have become Zhao Kuo's prisoners. They were imprisoned in the city guard's mansion of Pingqiu City, and then followed Zhao Kuo all the way to Daliang City.

Speaking of which, more than 20 days have passed since the last meeting between the two parties, almost a month.

As soon as Lord Xinling appeared, Zhao Kuo asked him a question.

"Mr. Xinling, do you think this Marquis can break through Daliang City?"

Mr. Xinling was only stunned for a second, and then gave the answer.

"Of course not, Daliang City is unbreakable!"

Chapter 386 Who Says Ben Hou Can't Break Daliang City (23/35)

Zhao Kuo and Lord Xinling looked at each other in the air.

The spring breeze is blowing and it is very cool, but the temperature in the eyes of the two is extremely hot, as if it may burn at any time.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Xinling, your country of Wei is about to perish, don't you think about it?

As long as you help us Da Zhao break Daliang City, then your prosperity and wealth will be indispensable in the future. "

It's a clichéd persuasion, but Zhao Kuo still wants to give it a try.

With Lord Xinling's contacts, status, and influence in Wei, if he could really surrender to Zhao, it would be equivalent to adding [-] soldiers to Zhao Kuo out of thin air, and greatly increasing the hope of destroying Wei.

Lord Xinling looked at Zhao Kuo, and said calmly: "Mr. Wu Xin, it is true that this Marquis is not as good as you in leading the army, but when it comes to loyalty, this Marquis's loyalty to the Great Wei is also evident, and it is absolutely impossible to ask for help. You Zhao Kingdom surrendered! If you want to kill, kill Benhou now, and then send Benhou's head to the city and give it to Brother Wang."

Zhao Kuo looked at Lord Xinling very strangely: "You want to die that much?"

Lord Xinling said proudly: "I am a sinner. Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers in Pingqiu City died because of me. I don't want to live in this world for a long time!"

Zhao Kuo snorted and said, "Then why didn't you commit suicide?"

Lord Xinling froze suddenly, unable to speak for a while.

Zhao Kuo shook his head: "Press it down."

Of course Zhao Kuo would not kill Lord Xinling.

The living Lord Xinling can make the king of Wei feel scruples, and can imperceptibly greatly dampen the morale of the people of Wei, while the dead Lord Xinling will not only let the king of Wei breathe a sigh of relief, but also arouse the infinite anger of the people of Wei. Only fools can do it.

A moment later, Jin Bi, General of the State of Wei, was brought up.

Although both Jin Bi and Lord Xinling were imprisoned in the same place, the two of them hadn't seen each other since the day Pingqiu City was broken.

"I met Wu Xinjun."

Compared with Mr. Xinling, Jin Bi's attitude is much better.

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the Daliang City protected by the surging moat in front of him: "General Jin Bi, as long as this Marquis conquers this city, the Kingdom of Wei will perish."

This sentence made Jin Bi's body visibly shaken, and he said after a few seconds: "Wu Xinjun was joking, how could the Great Wei have been established for 200 years, so how could it be so easy to perish?

Didn't Handan of your country of Zhao have been breached in the past, and the country of Zhao is still in good condition today. "

Zhao Kuo laughed: "Back then when Handan was breached, General Qi Tian Ji and Sun Bin led troops to rescue them. Now if Daliang City is breached, who will rescue you?"

Jin Bi gritted his teeth and said, "Qi State will definitely not sit back and watch Wei State perish, even your Zhao State's ally Chu State may not be happy to see it."

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "General Jin Bi has been imprisoned for many days, and the information is too closed.

Lord Chunshen had already been defeated by Kuang Liang outside Langya City, and now he can only defend the isolated city.

Feng Ting, the prime minister of South Korea, led [-] Korean troops to surrender to Benhou, and the main general of Qin State, Wang Yan, died outside Pingqiu City. "

"Looking at the world today, apart from Meng Ao's 15 Qin Army in Daliang City, the only ones who can really help your Wei State are Kuangliang's [-] Qi Army.

By the way, based on Ben Hou's understanding of King Qi, King Qi's first thought after hearing the news that Daliang was besieged was probably to withdraw the troops, not to let the Qi army come to Daliang for support. "

After Zhao Kuo said these words, the impact on Jin Bi was obviously very great, and the face of General Wei's face paled all of a sudden: "This, how is this possible?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Jin Bi and said lightly, "General Jin Bi, don't you see it?

Times have changed.

The entire Chinese world is destined to be unified by the Great Zhao under the conquest of this Marquis. You are a smart person, and this Marquis hopes that you can make smart decisions! "

Jin Bi's expression was extremely complicated, and he was silent for a long time before he said, "Mr. Wu Xin, I need to think about it."

Zhao Kuo nodded: "General, I hope your thinking will not last too long.

The reason this Marquis is recruiting you now is because Daliang City has not been breached yet.

If Daliang City is really breached, your value to our Great Zhao will not be that great. "

Jin Bi was also taken down.

Zhao Kuo looked at Daliang City in front of him and fell into deep thought.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Feng Ting appeared.

Feng Ting's current identity is very subtle, he is said to be a prisoner, but during this period of time, the Han army was driven by the Zhao army to fight again.

Feng Ting looked pretty good, and after saluting to Zhao Kuo, he said, "Wu Xinjun, I just got my king's order from Xinzheng, and my king told me and all the Han troops to do their best to cooperate with Zhao Guozhi's attack. Great Zhao's vanguard."

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "Han Wang is still very general."

Feng Ting repeatedly said yes.

In fact, both of them knew very well that in the current situation, if Han Wang still insisted on going against Zhao Guo, he would really be out of his mind.

Quickly change your position and recognize Zhao Guo as the big brother. Maybe Zhao Guo will be able to send more Korean soldiers back to China after the war if he is happy.

Zhao Kuo said: "The siege these days doesn't seem to be going well, Prime Minister Feng."

Feng Ting quickly showed a flattering smile, and said: "Wu Xinjun, don't worry, I will definitely send more elites tomorrow, and I will definitely find a feasible way to attack Zhao's troops!"

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and didn't speak for a while.

This silence immediately made Feng Ting flustered. Thinking carefully, he was afraid that he had just said something that made Zhao Kuo unhappy.

After a while, Zhao Kuo said leisurely, "General Feng Ting, do you think this Marquis can conquer this Daliang City?"

Feng Ting said almost without hesitation: "Wu Xinjun is wise and powerful, and Daliang City is naturally nothing to worry about!"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "Feng Xiang, Feng Xiang, your level of flattery is beyond words." Feng Ting smiled a little shyly.

Zhao Kuo seemed to have made up his mind, turned to look at Feng Ting, and said, "President Feng, from tomorrow onwards, the Han army under your command will no longer need to attack the city."

When Feng Ting heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Zhao Kuo is finally going to attack Han Jun?

Feng Ting hurriedly begged: "Mr. Wu Xin, give our army one more chance. The old man promises that our soldiers will fight bravely and will not disappoint Mr. Wu Xin."

Zhao Kuo laughed: "No, you misunderstood what Ben Hou meant.

This Marquis has no intention of doing any harm to your Han Army, but these few days of combat have made me discover that your Han Army is really not suitable for this, so this Marquis plans to give you a new mission. "

Only then did Feng Ting relax, and hurriedly said: "Please take orders from Lord Wu Xin, I will lead the Han army to complete it with all my strength.

By the way, I don't know what the task is? "

Zhao Kuo said, "Dig a ditch."

"Ditching?"

Feng Ting was stunned.

Zhao Kuo nodded, looked at the two surging moats outside Daliang City, and did not speak for a long time.

What Lord Xinling said was actually correct, with Zhao Kuo's current strength, it was impossible to attack Daliang City head-on.

But Zhao Kuo is not without other options.

As a time traveler, the best way is of course to refer to history.

How was Daliang City broken in history?

According to historical records, in 225 BC, Wang Ben, the son of Wang Jian, the general of Qin, led an army to attack the State of Wei, flooding Daliang, the capital of the State of Wei, with water from the Yellow River.

In March of the same year, the walls of Daliang City were destroyed, King Wei asked to surrender, and the Qin army killed King Wei, and the State of Wei was destroyed.

To break Daliang City, all Zhao Kuo has to do is to stage Wang Ben's strategy on this continent decades in advance!Who said that the Marquis could not break Daliang City!

Chapter 387 Han Xu's Incident (24/35)

Handan, Taishi Mansion.

"Idiots, they are all a bunch of idiots! Get out, get out of here, old man!"

Amidst a burst of loud reprimands, several of Han Xuwei's confidants ran out of the study in a panic, looking at each other with wry smiles.

"The grand master's mood is getting worse and worse recently."

"Oh, there is no way, who made Wu Xinjun win every victory again this time?"

"Tell me, will the things we are doing now arouse the vigilance of the people above?"

"Whatever, if we don't do it, the palace won't know what's going on, and our heads will definitely be gone."

Han Xuwei's confidants dispersed in twos and threes while discussing.

Suddenly, these confidantes were taken aback, and they all saluted an old man who was walking in front of him under the guidance of the head of the Grand Master's Mansion.

"Wen Xinjun."

"Meet Wen Xinjun."

"I have seen you, Your Majesty."

This old man is none other than Lin Xiangru, the trustworthy king in Zhao's political arena.

Lin Xiangru is actually a very gentle and refined person, but today Lin Xiangru's face is quite gloomy for some reason, and after seeing these confidantes of Han Xuwei, he just nodded slightly and did not speak.

A while later, Lin Xiangru came to Han Xuwei's study.

Han Xuwei was quite surprised by Lin Xiangru's arrival. The grand master Zhao Guo, who was still in a rage just now, immediately calmed down, asked people to bring drinks and cakes, and then sat down to talk with each other.

Han Xuwei said, "I don't know why Wen Xinjun came here suddenly, what's the matter?"

Lin Xiangru was actually quite busy during this period, and being able to appear suddenly from his busy schedule was enough to prove that something must have happened.

Lin Xiangru's face was serious, and he said: "To tell you the truth, the grand master has indeed discovered something, and it is closely related to the grand master."

Seeing Lin Xiangru's expression, Han Xuwei involuntarily became serious, and said, "Mr. Wen Xin, please tell me."

Lin Xiangru took a deep breath, looked at Han Xuwei and said slowly: "Grand Master, recently there have been a lot of rumors about wanting to kill Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo in the territory of Dazhao, especially in Handan City. Is it related to you?"

The moment Lin Xiangru finished speaking, Han Xuwei's expression almost lost control.

This matter was done in an extremely secretive manner, and only a few of Han Xuwei's confidants knew about it. How did Lin Xiangru know about it?

After a few seconds, Han Xuwei suddenly laughed: "What are Wen Xinjun talking about?

The old man doesn't understand at all. "

Lin Xiangru sighed, and said: "Grand Master, do you still have to hide the matter from the old man?

You and I are allies after all. "
