Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Does Your Majesty really want to continue fighting Zhao Guo with these 4 people? "

King Yan was stunned for a moment.

What is the concept of the number of 4 people?

Any one of the other six countries can casually gather an army of more than [-], while Guo Wei's words of only [-] in the Yan Kingdom are like pouring cold water directly on the head of King Yan, and immediately extinguished King Yan All war zeal.

After a long time, King Yan sighed: "In that case, let's sign this peace agreement."

After a while, King Yan also signed a contract with Zhao Guo's envoy.

Zhao Guo returned to Yan State all the land occupied in the last ginseng war, including Wuyang City, and the two countries formally ceased fighting.

Chapter 433 Should have listened to Wu Xinjun

Zhao Guo, Wuyang City.

This city, which used to be the lower capital of the State of Yan and became part of the northern territory of the State of Zhao the year before last, is now being firmly surrounded by the Qi-Yan coalition forces led by Kuang Liang and Le Jian.

General Zhao Guo Le Cheng led more than 7 Zhao Guo soldiers who retreated here to defend the city for nearly half a month. It didn't make the atmosphere in the city any better.

"The rations are running out, General!"

This is the report Le Cheng just got from the quartermaster.

From the very beginning of the battle, Zhao Jun never thought of failure, so Lian Po was very optimistic and set Zhao Jun's grain and grass base in Zhuo County, about [-] miles northeast of Wuyang City.

The result of this is that when the defeated soldiers of the Zhao army were chased by the Qi-Yan coalition all the way, Zhuo County was directly occupied. Lian Po and Le Cheng could only escape to the taller and stronger Wuyang City before they could finally catch their breath.

But Wuyang City is indeed tall and strong. Without military rations, how can it sustain itself?

Le Cheng was silent for a moment, and then issued an order: "Starting tomorrow, the rations of all people will be halved!"

After giving this order, Le Cheng, who had been commanding the defense for a whole day, was physically and mentally exhausted and walked towards his lodging place.

Le Cheng lives in the backyard of Wuyang Ling's official residence. Although it is a backyard, there is a whole row of old houses in this backyard, which looks very grand.

Entering the backyard, Le Cheng, who was hungry, was about to ask the chief guard beside him to get some food to eat, when he suddenly saw a person, and subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

"I have seen Mr. Wu Xiang."

Le Cheng bowed his hands to Lian Po in front of him.

The white-haired Lian Po just sat quietly in the grass in front of the yard, looking like a sculpture.

Compared with the tall and rosy Lian Po at the time of the expedition, Lian Po is now extremely haggard, with high cheekbones and raised cheekbones, making him look like a skinny man.

After Le Cheng spoke, Lian Po's body moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

Seeing Lian Po like this, Le Cheng also sighed in his heart, knowing that the failure outside Jidu City was a big blow to Lian Po.

In the battle of Yiyang, Lian Po can be said to be too strong in vain.

In the battle of Gaotang, Lian Po can be said to have been betrayed by Han and Wei.

But what about the Battle of Jidu this time?

The two sides fought with real knives and guns, and then Kuang Liang was superior and won.

No excuses whatsoever, just a total fiasco.

Le Cheng didn't intend to continue to provoke Lian Po, so he walked towards his room.

Le Cheng is still good to Lian Po. Obviously Lian Po has been deprived of the position of chief general, but Le Cheng still lives in the former deputy general's house, and Lian Po continues to live in the chief general's house.

When Le Cheng passed by Lian Po, Lian Po suddenly said, "How is the situation?"

Le Cheng stopped, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth: "The situation is very bad. Although we have been holding on for half a month, we will soon run out of food."

Lian Po's body shook visibly, and he said, "Where are the reinforcements, why haven't the reinforcements come yet?"

Le Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to know the answer to this question."

Since the retreat to Wuyang City, the first envoy sent by Handan was to convey the Queen Mother's order to let Le Cheng replace Lian Po as the chief general.

Then Wuyang City was tightly surrounded by the Qi-Yan coalition forces, and no other news from the outside world has been received until now.

Lian Po was silent for a moment, and let out a long sigh.

"The old man is so stupid, really."

"If you didn't go your own way at the beginning, why did you come to this?"

"I think Mr. Wu Xin has already seen through Kuang Liang's trick, so I asked you to advise this old man, right?

As long as the old man listens to your words, there will be no such a big defeat. "

Lian Po's words were full of deep regret.

Facing Lian Po's remorse, Le Cheng couldn't help but remain silent.

In fact, Le Cheng has been thinking about this question all the time. If Lian Po was willing to listen to the advice at that time, how afraid that if even [-] soldiers were to defend the Yan army from Jidu, would the outcome of the war change?

After thinking about it, Le Cheng always got the same answer. If that was the case, Zhao Jun would never lose, and the worst would be a miserable victory.

Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's judgment was correct, and he also reminded Le Cheng, and Le Cheng also dutifully reminded Lian Po, and even advised him more than once.

It's a pity that Le Cheng is also Lian Po's old partner and subordinate for many years, and the friendship is still there. Seeing that Lian Po has become so miserable because of guilt, he can't bear to continue to mock Lian Po.

Le Cheng sighed, and said: "Mr. Wu Xiang, this is the end of the matter, it is useless to think about these past things, you should take a good rest."

Suddenly, a burst of sound came into Le Cheng's ears, which surprised Le Cheng, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

That seems to be a city wall?

A bad premonition flashed through Le Cheng's heart, and he hurriedly said to the captain of the personal guard beside him: "Go and see, is the enemy attacking again?"

Even though it was going to be dark soon, night raids were not uncommon.

Thinking of this, Le Chengfan lost his appetite, so he stood there anxiously waiting for a reply.

After a while, the captain of the personal guard went back and forth, and brought another person with him: "General, this is our Great Zhao's envoy, who is in charge of going to Yan!"

"Envoy, are you going to the country of Yan?"

Le Cheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the familiar Zhao official in front of him, he suddenly had some kind of guess in his heart.

The envoy cupped his hands towards Le Cheng, and said with a smile: "I want to tell the general a good news here, Da Zhao has reached an armistice agreement with Yan and Qi respectively.

The war is over, and the general can quickly prepare to withdraw his troops from Wuyang. "

"The peace talks were successful and the war ceased?"

The news surprised and delighted Le Cheng.

If the war does not stop, Wuyang City, which has no food, will completely collapse after ten days and a half months at most.

At this moment, Lian Po, who had been sitting quietly all this time, suddenly asked a question: "Retreat, why retreat?"

The envoy noticed Lian Po who had been sitting blankly not far away, and was shocked when he saw Lian Po who had lost weight several times, and he recovered his expression after a few seconds, saying: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Wu Xiang, for this time After negotiating peace, Da Zhao has returned Wuyang City and other cities to Yan State.

So starting tomorrow, our army will retreat from Wuyang. "

This news directly made the smile that had just appeared on Le Cheng's face disappear without a trace, and Lian Po felt as if he had been hit hard, and his face was as pale as paper.

A moment later, another sigh of incomparable regret sounded again.

"The old man is so stupid, really.

My husband wow! "

Le Cheng turned his head in surprise, just in time to see Lian Po spurting a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and then passed out directly.

Chapter 434 What, Wu Xinjun is still in Hedong?

Handan City, Wen Xinjun Lin Xiangru's mansion.

Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was a little silent.

Zhou Shaofen thought for a while, and took the initiative to start the topic: "I don't know what's going on in Wuyang City."

Lin Xiangru looked sad, and said: "The old man has just collected the latest data from the Wuyang City treasury to check. If the data is correct, there should be a food shortage in Wuyang City for several days."

Zhou Shaofen was taken aback immediately, and lost his voice: "Lack of food?

Then how can you hold on? "

Lin Xiangru's expression became more and more helpless, and he said, "Yes, now we can only hope that the peace talks advocated by Wu Xinjun can take effect."

When Lin Xiangru said this, he was actually very contradictory. On the one hand, he did not want Zhao Kuo's peace talks plan to succeed, but on the other hand, Lin Xiangru did not want Wuyang City where Lian Po was located to be breached.

Lin Xiangru knew Lian Po's character very well. Once Wuyang City was breached, Lian Po would definitely not surrender to the Yan-Qi Allied Forces, and the only way to go was to die in battle.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiangru couldn't help feeling a little frightened.

Could it be that after losing Yu Xin and Han Xu as two allies, Lin Xiangru will lose Lian Po, the most profound ally?

Looking at Lin Xiangru's expression, Zhou Shaofen could more or less guess what Lin Xiangru was thinking, and wanted to comfort him, but he also knew that comforting at this time was actually futile.

War is so changeable and cruel.

Only a peerless general like Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo can always stand with the victory.

Suddenly, Lin Xiangru's steward rushed into the hall, and said excitedly: "My lord, I just got the news that both Qi and Yan have agreed to negotiate a peace!"

These words instantly dispelled the haze in the lobby.

Lin Xiangru stood up excitedly and said, "Okay, that's really great!"

It is great news for Lin Xiangru that Lian Po is not dead.

Although it can be foreseen that Lian Po, as the general of the defeated army, will inevitably be severely punished, as long as Lian Po can be kept as an ally among the important ministers of the Zhao State, Lin Xiangru will still be able to continue to deal with powerful enemies such as Lord Yuan and Lord Wuxin in the future. Opportunity.

Zhou Shaofen also smiled, but the thought in the heart of this important minister was completely different from that of Lin Xiangru.

Now that Qi and Yan have already negotiated a peace, then Wu Xinjun should be able to flex his muscles in the direction of Qin without any constraints, right?

After a while, Lin Xiangru, who was beginning to calm down, suddenly showed a wry smile, and sighed: "This time, although Lord Wu Xiang's life was saved, it also made Lord Wu Xin's negotiation conditions succeed."

Zhou Shaofen nodded silently.

The atmosphere became stagnant again.

Although Lian Po's life was saved, this time it was still an out-and-out super fiasco for the scholar faction led by Lin Xiangru.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiangru couldn't be happy again.

After a long time, Lin Xiangru sighed.

"Sometimes the old man really doubts whether Mr. Wu Xinjun has God's help. Tell me, why are his predictions so accurate every time?"

Zhou Shaofen agreed with this sentence: "To tell you the truth, Wen Xinjun, I often feel the same way."

In fact, Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen were not the only ones who thought this way. The same was true for Meng Ao, the general of Qin who was leading the Qin army across the river.

As the general of the Qin State, Meng Ao commanded [-] Qin troops to launch an attack on Hedong County of Zhao State this time. The goal was to defeat all the defensive forces of the Zhao army in Hedong County and take back the treasure land of Hedong County from Zhao State.

Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were mighty and mighty, crossing the river with hundreds of boats that had been prepared for a long time.

Standing on the boat, Meng Ao looked at the other side and expressed emotion: "This time without Lord Wu Xin, our battle will be much easier."

Beside Meng Ao is the young Qin State Vice General Wang Jian.

The Meng family and the Wang family are both families of generals in the Qin army, and they were originally at odds with each other.

This situation changed a lot after Wang He spared his own life and that of [-] Qin troops to save the main force of the Qin army led by Meng Ao in the Battle of Pingqiu last year. The grace of saving lives not only took the initiative to reconcile with the Wang clan, but also promoted Wang Jian, the last general of the Wang clan in the Qin army, as his deputy in this war.

Wang Jian nodded slightly after hearing Meng Ao's words, and said: "To tell you the truth, I have always had an idea that if Lord Wu Xin was the commander-in-chief of the Great Qin, the Great Qin would have already ruled the world."

Meng Ao had a complicated expression, and said, "Who said it wasn't?

Among other things, if Lord Wu Xin hadn't extended Zhao's life in the Battle of Changping, maybe Great Qin would have invaded Handan and destroyed Zhao. How could it be Zhao's turn to become the number one in the world now? "

The chief and deputy generals of the Qin army fell silent at the same time, staring at the torrential water in front of them, and stopped talking.

After a while, Wang Jian said firmly: "One day in the future, Da Qin will definitely defeat Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo!"

The young Qin general's temples fluttered in the wind, and his eyes shone with hope.

A quarter of an hour later, the boat stopped slowly at the ferry on the east bank of the Yellow River. Meng Ao and Wang Jian got off the boat respectively and set foot on the land of Hedong County.

Wang Jian looked around and found that there were soldiers and ships of the Qin army everywhere, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "Where are the defenders of Zhao State?

Why can't I see anyone. "
