Not only that, Yan Guochang Guojun Lejian also sent a 5000-strong army to sweep around. Now, except for Wuyang, almost all cities have returned to the hands of Yan Guo. "
This news undoubtedly made things worse and made the atmosphere even more stagnant.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said, "Where is Mr. Wu Xin, is there no news about Mr. Wu Xin?"
Up to now, Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo has become the queen mother's last hope.
Suddenly, a report came from outside the palace: "Wu Xinjun, please see me!"
The monarchs and ministers in the hall were shocked at the same time.
After just a few seconds, the queen mother was overjoyed and said, "Quickly, invite Wu Xinjun in!"
A moment later, Zhao Kuo strode into the hall and saluted the Queen Mother: "I have seen the Queen Mother!"
The moment he saw Zhao Kuo, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became significantly lighter, and the air changed from almost stagnant to flowing.
The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Kuo, with a very obvious hope on her face, and said: "Mr. Wu Xin, hurry up and go to Wuyang City to rescue the hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers and civilians in Wuyang City, and save the defeat. "
Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "Queen Mother, can I let the minister understand the real situation of the current battle?"
The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Okay, Eunuch Ling, tell Lord Wu Xin the news just now."
After listening to the specific military situation, Zhao Kuo fell into deep thought.
To be honest, the current battle situation is actually a little better than Zhao Kuo expected.
Before arriving in Handan, Zhao Kuo was even mentally prepared that Wuyang City had been breached.
The saying that the army is defeated like a mountain is not a joke. 30 years ago, Le Yi defeated Yan in the first battle of Jixi and defeated the army of Qi State, and then directly broke through Handan along the way.
No one spoke in the hall, and everyone looked at Zhao Kuo expectantly, hoping that Zhao Kuo could come up with a plan to turn the tide.
Zhao Kuo raised his head, looked at the Queen Mother, and said calmly, "Queen Mother, I am sorry to say that there is very little hope of victory in this battle."
The Empress Dowager was taken aback when she heard the words, and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, why don't you go?
In the last battle of Pingqiu, didn't you?" Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "To tell you the truth, the queen mother had a hundred thousand elite soldiers in the battle of Pingqiu, but what about now?
Now in addition to the cavalry of the northern frontier cavalry regiment, the ministers have the county soldiers of Handan and Zhongshan. The strength of these soldiers and horses is too weak compared to the Qi-Yan coalition army. "
Lin Xiangru said in a deep voice, "Then you have to fight, right?
Is it possible to sit back and watch the soldiers of the Great Zhao who are guarding Wuyang City die in vain? "
Zhao Kuo said lightly: "This is naturally impossible.
Queen Mother, the minister's suggestion is very simple, return Wuyang City to Yan State, and then cede some land to Qi State, and ask the Qi-Yan coalition forces for peace. "
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the whole hall.
The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Kuo in disbelief, and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, you actually asked for peace?"
Zhao Kuo looked at the Queen Mother and felt emotional in his heart.
The Empress Dowager thought of war too simply.
Do you really think that as soon as Benhou goes out, no matter what kind of cat or dog is under Benhou's command, he will immediately transform into a heavenly soldier and general?
Although Ben Hou is a time traveler, but Ben Hou doesn't have a system!Zhao Kuo said sternly, "Queen Mother, indeed she is asking for peace.
But this does not mean that Da Zhao can only be completely defeated in this war. Once the threat of the Qi-Yan coalition is lifted, then the minister will be able to deal with Qin with all his strength in Hedong and win a victory for Da Zhao in the west. ! "
Chapter 430 Ben Hou Is Helping You Clean Up The Mess
Zhao Kuo's unexpected proposal silenced the hall for a moment.
Finally, the queen mother asked: "Is there really no other way in Wuyang City?"
Zhao Kuo said: "There is really no other way. Even the minister can only stick to it in the past. The hope of victory is about [-]% to [-]%."
The Queen Mother asked again: "What's the situation in Qin State?"
Zhao Kuo said: "After hearing the news of Da Zhao's failure, the Qin State will definitely feel that the Queen Mother will transfer the minister to Wuyang, so Qin State will send troops to attack Hedong.
As stated in the memorandum I posted before, I have already established contact with the Yiqu country, and I can completely cooperate with the inside and outside, and use the paralysis of the Qin people to win a victory for Zhao on the western front. "
Hearing this, Lin Xiangru finally couldn't help but said: "Wu Xinjun, your plan sounds good, but I still have a few questions."
Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru and knew that this old minister was about to attack him: "Please tell me, Mr. Wen Xin."
In terms of the political standpoint between the two parties, it would be strange if Lin Xiangru didn't stand up and question Zhao Kuo.
Lin Xiangru said: "Mr. Wu Xin is so sure that Yan and Qi are willing to negotiate peace with us?"
Zhao Kuo said: "Yan Kingdom was originally dying, but now it can regain Wuyang, how could it be possible to disagree?
As for Qi State, although Kuang Liang won one after another, it is true that Qi State is not as powerful as Da Zhao. If Da Zhao is forced to fight Qi State to the death, it will not be of any benefit to Qi State.
As long as Da Zhao is willing to cede the land to Qi for peace, then Qi will naturally agree. "
Lin Xiangru's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "If that's the case, what's the face of Dazhao, the most powerful country in the world!"
Zhao Kuo said coldly: "The face of the most powerful country in the world is punched out, not blown out by mouth.
Mr. Wu Xiang lost outside Jidu, so now Da Zhao can only bet and admit defeat. Does Mr. Wen Xin not even understand such a simple truth? "
Lin Xiangru said: "Could it be that Lord Wu Xin likes to cede land for peace so much?"
Zhao Kuo knocked on the table and said coldly: "Mr. Wen Xin, I hope you understand that the Marquis has never advocated attacking the Yan Kingdom, and that was the idea of you and Mr. Wu Xiang.
Now Da Zhao went to attack Yan State according to your wishes, and then everything was messed up by you and Wu Xiangjun!Benhou is still trying to find a way to clean up this mess for you, what qualifications do you have to question Benhou? "
Zhao Kuo was getting impatient.
This matter is like speculating in stocks. A stock invested in Yan Kingdom Battlefield suddenly plummeted. At this time, you should sell the meat and liquidate it while you can still sell it, and then find a new stock that is sure to invest in Hedong Battlefield.
If you continue to entangle in the battlefield of Yan State, it is equivalent to continuing to add funds to this plummeting stock in an attempt to turn it around. The result will only be that you will be locked up and go bankrupt overnight.
You Lin Xiangru and Lian Po chose this rotten stock in Yanguo, and the reason for the loss is also because of your two manipulations.
Now this Marquis wants to find a chance for Zhao Guo to return to the capital, but you are still here talking about it?
Lin Xiangru was speechless.
Zhao Kuo saw that Lin Xiangru was silent, so he turned to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, our army is at home in the Hedong battlefield to wait for work, and at the same time, the Qin army is careless. This is the best place for Zhao to recover his losses.
As for the direction of Wuyang City, I felt that I had to give up. "
When facing a crisis, an excellent leader must make a choice and make a decision to maximize the loss.
The queen mother was silent for a long time, and looked around at the crowd: "Do you have any other opinions?"
Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang looked at each other, but neither spoke.
Although these two princes were also jealous of Zhao Kuo, they were still Zhao Kuo's allies on the surface, and of course it was impossible to oppose Zhao Kuo.
But Lin Xiangru had already objected, and was rendered speechless by Zhao Kuo's refutation, so naturally he would not open his mouth again to seek humiliation.
The Empress Dowager waited for a while and saw that there was no objection, so she sighed and said: "Then, according to what Wu Xinjun said, immediately send envoys to discuss peace with Qi and Yan."
When she said this, the Queen Mother was filled with a strong sense of frustration.
Originally thought that this war would wipe out Yan State in one fell swoop and create an unprecedented glorious era for Zhao State, but never expected that it would end in cession of land for peace.
Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager looked at Lin Xiangru rather unkindly.
It was Lin Xiangru and Lian Po who strongly advocated attacking the country of Yan, and then their command was incompetent, which led to the current situation!The queen mother gave an order, and everyone naturally agreed.
The queen mother turned her gaze to Zhao Kuo again: "Wu Xinjun, when are you going back to Hedong?"
Seeing that the queen mother agreed to his opinion, Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was also a little worried that if the queen mother lost, he must win it back from Yan Guo, and things would become difficult.
If Lian Po hadn't lost so badly in Gaotang last time, or if he hadn't lost so badly in the battle of Jidu this time, Zhao Kuo would have been sure to win back, but it's a pity that Lian Po lost so badly that Zhao Jun was on the front On the battlefield, he completely lost the ability to mediate with the Qi-Yan coalition forces.
Don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs!Zhao Kuo calmed down and said: "Go back to the Queen Mother, I will leave immediately tomorrow and rush back to Hedong.
Please rest assured, Queen Mother, what we lost from Yan and Qi, I will definitely help Zhao get back from Qin! "
The Empress Dowager sighed, and stood up somewhat lacking in interest: "That's the end of today's discussion, let's go."
After a while, Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen walked out of the hall side by side, both of them looked unhappy.
Zhou Shaofen said softly: "Mr. Wu Xin wants to directly seek peace from the Yan-Qi Allied Forces. This is a crime to lock up Mr. Wu Xiang, so that Mr. Wu Xiang will not stand up."
Although Zhou Shaofen's real identity is an ally of Zhao Kuo, but his superficial identity is here, he naturally has to make a gesture of being an enemy of Zhao Kuo in front of Lin Xiangru.
Lin Xiangru stroked his beard worriedly, and sighed, "Yes.
Mr. Wu Xin has always acted decisively. It was like this when Yu Qing was in charge, and it was like this when he was a grand master. Now, alas, I can’t blame others. If Lord Wu Xiang can seize the opportunity to destroy the country of Yan, then how can we be in such a situation? "
Lin Xiangru also seemed very helpless in his tone.
Lao Lian, Lao Lian, I will give you a chance, but you are useless.
Zhou Shaofen said: "Then what should we do now?"
Lin Xiangru took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "We can only take one step at a time. No matter what, we must not give up on Mr. Wu Xiangru!"
After a pause, Lin Xiangru suddenly said softly: "Actually, Lord Wu Xin may not necessarily be able to overwhelm us this time."
Zhou Shaofen was taken aback by this sentence, and he also said softly: "Mr. Wen Xin, what do you mean?" Lin Xiangru stroked his beard, and said lightly: "The premise that Mr. Wu Xin advocates going to war with Qin on the western front is that Qi and Yan are the two. China will definitely agree to our big Zhao's peace.
But there are exceptions to everything, who knows the vital interests analyzed by Wu Xinjun, do the kings of Qi and Yan also think the same way?
Once Qi and Yan insist on going to war, not only will Wuyang City be in danger, but the entire war situation will also be completely corrupted.
But Wu Xinjun was still in Hedong at that time." Lin Xiangru shook his head, looked at Zhao Kuo who had ridden away on his horse after dozens of steps, and said lightly: "Wu Xinjun always feels that everything is under his control. Among them, the old man just wants to say, not necessarily! "
Zhao Kuo didn't know Lin Xiangru's thoughts. At this moment, Zhao Kuo only had one idea in his heart to go home.
I'm leaving tomorrow, so today I only have one night to go home to see my wife and children.
To marry Yi Quwei, Zhao Kuo had to pass his wife Tian Wan.
Chapter 431
Outside Handan City, Wu Xinjun Manor.
Although it was already dark, the manor was bright at the moment, and the front door, which had never been opened on weekdays, was opened just to welcome the return of the owner of the manor.
There was a sound of horseshoes, and a group of knights appeared from the darkness, led by Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo didn't stop all the way, and drove directly into the manor.
Everyone in the entire manor gathered here, and ordered respectfully to Zhao Kuo: "I have seen the Lord!"
Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said loudly: "Everyone, you have worked hard!
"In folklore, Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is a master who treats his servants with a pleasant face.
If you ask a servant of Wu Xinjun Manor, the servant will tell everyone that it is not a legend, but a fact.
"Father!"
As soon as Zhao Kuo got off his horse, Zhao Qian rushed up with his younger brothers and sisters.
Zhao Kuo bent down, picked up the two youngest children with both hands, and blinked apologetically at the eldest son Zhao Qian who was hugging his thigh.
Zhao Qian froze for a moment, then blinked at Zhao Kuo.
The two father and son smiled at the same time.
It wasn't until this time that Tian Wan came up with Qiu'er, and saluted Zhao Kuo: "I have seen you before me."
Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said, "You two ladies, you have worked hard."
Tian Wan looked left and right, and her eyes fell on Yi Quwei, who was behind Zhao Kuo, and said with a smile, "I heard that Jun Hou brought a younger sister back for the two of us this time, I wonder if it's this one?"
Yiquwei also looked at Tian Wan and Qiu'er.
Of course Yiquwei knew Tian Wan's identity a long time ago, but when she really saw Tian Wan and Qiu'er, she was still surprised.
Since childhood, Yiquwei has always been extremely proud of her beauty, and believes that there is no woman in this world who can compare with herself.
But today, Yiquwei saw two beauties who were completely different from her in this mansion.
Whether it's Tian Wan's dignity and gentleness, or Qiu'er's petiteness and cuteness, Yi Quwei, who is also a woman, is involuntarily attracted by the beauty of these two women.
Yiquwei bowed to Tian Wan with unfamiliar Chinese etiquette very awkwardly, and said, "Yiquwei sees, sees madam."
Although they are both princesses, when Yi Quwei saw Tian Wan, she couldn't help but feel an inexplicable guilt in her heart.
What Yiquwei didn't know was that Zhao Kuo, who was standing by the side holding the baby, was actually more guilty.
