Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

After listening to Hou Sheng's report, King Qi couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked Hou Sheng to the ground directly.

"Idiot, utter idiot!"

King Qi yelled at Hou Sheng, spewing out all kinds of obscenities.

This king of Qi had never appeared so gaffe, and his gaffe actually came from the fear in his heart.

Just this morning, Li Mu, the number one general under Wu Xinjun's command, had led Chi You's army to arrive outside Linzi City as a vanguard, completing the initial blockade of Linzi City.

It can be expected that Wu Xinjun will inevitably lead the 10,000+ main force of the Zhao and Han coalition forces to follow, and will soon arrive in Linzi.

Relying on the tens of thousands of remnants and defeated generals who have just retreated to Linzi, can Qi State hold Linzi?

No one dares to guarantee the ticket.

Although envoys for help have been sent urgently to other vassal states, will anyone really come to rescue them?

No one can guarantee it.

King Qi's mentality collapsed, and Hou Sheng, who failed to negotiate peace, became the best target for venting his anger.

Facing King Qi's anger, all Hou Sheng could do was kneel on the ground and tremble.

At this moment, in addition to fear, Hou Sheng also had hatred for Zhao Kuo.

None of this would have happened if Zhao Kuo hadn't rejected the peace talks.

Wu Xinjun, you wait for the old man!After scolding for a full quarter of an hour, King Qi finally got tired and kicked Hou Sheng on the shoulder: "Get out, get out of here, I don't want to see you again!"

Hou Sheng left in a hurry.

Watching Hou Sheng's back, King Qi spat heavily: "Useless trash, what else can you do besides flirting?"

When the state of Qi is peaceful and the people are safe, Hou Sheng can bring many enjoyments such as beautiful women and fine wine to King Qi, but at this moment, all the advantages of Hou Sheng have become disadvantages in the eyes of King Qi.

King Qi collected his mind, let his demeanor become noble again, and said lightly: "Come here, call Kuang Liang to see you!"

A moment later, Grand Sima Kuangliang of the State of Qi walked into the hall and knelt down with a plop, "The guilty minister Kuangliang has seen the king!"

Kuang Liang returned to Linzi with about [-] remnant soldiers yesterday.

King Qi looked at Kuang Liang with a disappointed expression on his face: "Kuang Liang, I have entrusted all the elites of Da Qi to you, just hoping that you can defeat Zhao Guo again and usher in real hegemony for Da Qi! But you What have you done?

So many great Qi elites have all become stepping stones for that guy Zhao Kuo to become famous! "

Kuang Liang was so ashamed that he kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

King Qi stared at Kuang Liang, his eyes flickering, and he remained silent for a long time.

In terms of King Qi's character, Kuang Liang is undoubtedly the first person responsible for the huge crisis in Qi State. Of course, he must be severely punished, not to mention beheaded or dismissed from office, at least he must be demoted to serve as an example to others.

But Zhao Kuo is about to approach the city. If Kuang Liang is dismissed at this time, who else can lead the army to resist Zhao Kuo's offensive?

After a long time, the murderous intent in King Qi's eyes gradually faded, and he said in a cold voice: "Kuang Liang, I will give you another chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. This time you will guard Linzi for the widow, do you understand?"

Kuang Liang showed a surprised expression on his face. He never thought that he would be let off by the King of Qi. He was very moved and said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, as long as I live for a day, it is absolutely impossible for Linzi City to fall into Zhao Kuo's hands." hands!"

After Kuang Liang left, King Qi sat in the hall alone, silent.

The eunuch of Qi State came out from the corner and said softly: "Your Majesty, there have been many voices in Linzi recently, all wishing for Your Majesty to tour the south."

The so-called southern tour is actually a euphemism for escape.

King Qi said coldly: "No.

The widow is the king of Qi, if the widow retreats, Linzi will not be able to hold on!This time, unless the city is broken, the widow will never leave! "

The king of Qi was born in Jucheng. At the time when Le Yi occupied the 72 cities of Qi State, only Jucheng garrisoned by Chu army and Jimo city garrisoned by Tian Dan remained in Qi State.

It wasn't until King Qi was one year old that Tian Dan took advantage of the opportunity that Le Yi was dismissed from the position of general by King Yan Hui, used the fire bull formation to defeat the Yan army, and regained the entire territory of Qi in one fell swoop.

It is because of this background that the deceased Queen Mother of Qi has been instilling a concept in King Qi.

Until the last moment, the king will never flee!King Qi took a deep breath and said: "Immediately issue an order to go down and recruit troops in the city to prepare for Zhao Jun's attack!"

In the evening of the same day, the main force of the 15 Zhao-Han coalition forces arrived outside Linzi City under the leadership of Zhao Guowu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, and officially completed the siege of Linzi City.

"King Qi didn't leave?"

When he heard the news, Zhao Kuo showed a surprised expression: "This guy, doesn't he learn from his father?"

King Qi's father, Tian Fazhang, King Qixiang of the previous generation of Qi State, was notoriously a counselor.

After Linzi was breached, a large number of Qi clans and princes died in battle, and Tian Fazhang, who was still the prince of Qi at that time, fled southward in embarrassment all the way, and fled directly to Jucheng, the southernmost city of Qi.

After entering Jucheng, Tian Fazhang worried that exposing the identity of the prince would make him sacrificed to the Yan army, so he went to the Taishi Mansion in Jucheng as a servant incognito, and lived in Jucheng for five full years.

A father who is super afraid of death actually gave birth to such a young son, what about the inheritance of the promised character?

If King Qi doesn't leave, it will be very difficult to conquer Linzi.

Xu Li smiled from the side: "If the King of Qi doesn't leave, doesn't that mean that the Marquis will soon be able to capture alive the second king of another country after the King of Qin?"

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Uncle Xu, if you can talk, talk more."

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled.

The news that the Zhao and Han coalition forces surrounded Linzi came out, shaking the world.

Chencheng, the palace of the Chu Kingdom.

King Chu sat on top of the main hall, and said with a worried face: "Masters, Qi State has just sent envoys to ask for help. Do you think I will agree to King Qi's request for help?"

As soon as the king of Chu finished speaking, Jun Yin Chunshen, the order of the state of Chu, immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Da Chu and the State of Zhao are allies. They just signed an alliance agreement in Handan a few months ago. If you are an enemy of the State of Zhao at this moment, , isn’t it a breach of trust?”

The "Tweeting Order" taught by Zhao Kuo to Chunshenjun before has been presented to the King of Chu by Chunshenjun.

The king of Chu appreciated this very much, but because Chunshenjun had just lost a battle and his reputation was at a low point, so the king of Chu didn't let Chunshenjun promote him immediately.

But even so, Chun Shenjun still relied on Zhao Kuo's plan to regain the trust of the King of Chu, and stabilized the already crumbling Ling Yin position.

As the saying goes, reciprocate, Chun Shenjun naturally wants to stand up and support Zhao Kuo now.

As soon as Chun Shenjun finished speaking, Ma Jingyang, Grand Sim of the Chu State, also sneered, and also stood up: "Your Majesty, I believe that the State of Zhao must not be allowed to conquer Linzi and destroy the State of Qi. We must immediately send troops to intervene!"

Chapter 530 Wu Xinjun is too strong, so stop fighting

In the political arena of Chu State, there is a rule that if Lord Chunshen agrees, the three major families represented by Da Sima Jingyang will definitely oppose it, and vice versa.

Therefore, when Jingyang objected, no one in the hall was surprised.

Chunshen Jun sneered, and said, "Da Sima, Da Chu has just been defeated not long ago, why should he contend with Zhao Jun who just won a big victory?"

Jingyang nodded, and said in the same stern tone: "That's because Mr. Chunshen, you have no way to lead the army. Otherwise, how could there be such a big defeat?"

Chunshen Jun was furious, and shouted: "Jingyang, what are you talking about now is about the state of Qi, what are you doing with this old man?"

The King of Chu frowned slightly, and said: "You just discuss the matter, don't mention the past."

Jingyang snorted softly and said, "Since the king has spoken, let's talk about the moment.

Now that Zhao Kuo has surrounded Linzi, Linzi's capture is a high probability event.

Da Chu, as a country bordering Zhao and Qi at the same time, should send troops to intervene.

Even if the king is unwilling to completely tear himself apart from the Zhao country, he should send troops to the border of the Qi country and inform both sides of our attitude! "

There is no doubt that Chu State does not want to see Qi State perish.

Chunshen Jun laughed, and said: "These words are interesting, Da Sima doesn't really think that Zhao State can destroy Qi State, does he?

Last year, Zhao Guo also captured Xianyang, the capital of Qin State, but did Qin State perish?

The current state of Qi is stronger than the state of Qin last year, and it is even more impossible for it to be destroyed by the state of Zhao!So Da Chu just needs to watch the war quietly. "

Jingyang snorted and said, "Qin Guanzhong is thousands of miles away from Handan, and there is an entire Taihang Mountain in between.

The distance between Linzi and Handan is only two or three hundred miles, and there is a large plain in the middle, how can they be compared? "

Jun Shen said: "Now Linzi has not been breached yet, what are you in a hurry for?

Even if we want to help Qi, can't we wait until King Qi is about to perish?

What's more, if the state of Qi is really weakened by the state of Zhao, it will also be in the interests of our Great Chu! "

For Chu, the weaker all neighboring countries, the better.

Jingyang was still waiting to say more, but the King of Chu had already knocked on the table and said, "Okay, don't say any more."

Everyone quieted down.

The King of Chu said indifferently: "Grand Sima Jingyang, I just want to ask you a question. If I ask you to send troops, can you guarantee to defeat Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo?"

Jingyang wanted to say "yes", but he couldn't get it out of his mouth.

That's the No. 1 general in the world, Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo. If Jingyang really goes to war, wouldn't he be courting death?

After a while, Jingyang said: "Your Majesty, I don't mean to fight Zhao Guo head-on, what I mean is..." King Chu waved his hand and interrupted Jingyang's words: "Since we can't defeat Wuxin Lord Zhao Kuo , then there is no need to send troops.

Well, the meeting is over! "

After finishing speaking, the king of Chu left directly, leaving only the ministers in the hall.

Jing Jing looked at the leaving figure of King Chu, the expression of dissatisfaction on his face flashed away, but there was nothing he could do in his heart.

This Zhao Kuo, how can he be so capable of fighting?

Xianyang, the palace city of Qin State.

King Qin's face was heavy, and he said: "Masters, I just received the news that the Zhao army led by Lord Wu Xin has surrounded Linzi."

After King Qin's words fell, the hall was completely quiet.

All the ministers of the state of Qin who were present had ugly faces, and there was even a trace of fear in the eyes of many people.

In the war last year, because Li Mu's surprise attack on Xianyang was too sudden, many of the ministers of Qin State who were present became prisoners at that time.

It was an unbearable time to look back on, and it also made many ministers of Qin have a very strong psychological shadow on Zhao Jun, especially the name Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo.

The King of Qin waited for a while but did not hear a reply, he felt a little dissatisfied and said angrily, "Why, is it true that all the servants of the widow are deaf?"

In the past few years, one bad news after another made King Qin vomit blood and become dizzy, which made his health worse and worse, which made his temper worse and worse.

Fan Sui, Prime Minister of Qin State, felt helpless, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Qi State is too far away from Da Qin. Even if Da Qin wants to rescue Qi State, it will be beyond his reach."

The King of Qin said angrily: "Then it's okay to attack the Yiqu country, right?

Meng Ao, tell me, can the country of Yiqu be defeated? "

Meng Ao was captured to cover the main force of the Qin army led by Wang Jian, which is understandable, so he still gained the trust of King Qin after he was released.

Meng Ao stood up and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, Yiqu Kingdom can naturally be attacked.

I dare say that as long as the king gives me [-] troops, I will be able to defeat the Yiqu country steadily! "

Meng Ao's words were resounding and firm, which made King Qin regain some confidence.

The experience of being captured last year was a great humiliation to King Qin. You must know that there has never been a record of a king being captured since the founding of the Qin Kingdom.

Qin Wang wanted revenge, wanted to save face, and wanted to win!King Qin set his sights on Prince Ying Zichu, hoping to get Ying Zichu's support.

Ying Zichu noticed King Qin's gaze and hesitated in his heart.

Emotionally speaking, Ying Zichu actually wanted to agree to King Qin's plan to attack Yiqu.

But the problem is that Ying Zichu's number one adviser, Lu Buwei, told Ying Zichu: "Prince, what Daqin needs most now is to recuperate, absolutely never fight with Zhao Guo again!"

Ying Zichu looked at Mr. Yangquan, but Mr. Yangquan shook his head slightly.

Lord Yangquan dare not stand up against King Qin at this time.

Ying Zichu was furious in his heart, and secretly scolded Mr. Yangquan as a waste.

In desperation, Ying Zichu had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up, and said, "Father, I feel that this is not a good time to start a war with Yiqu."

After Ying Zichu finished speaking, he could immediately feel that King Qin's face became gloomy and cold, and his gaze towards Ying Zichu became extremely unkind.

King Qin said coldly, "Why?"

Ying Zichu smiled wryly, and said, "Father, Qu Wei, the eldest son of the Yiqu Kingdom, is now Wu Xinjun's wife, if the Great Qin conquers Yiqu, Wu Xinjun will definitely not refuse to save him.

Today's Daqin really can't beat Wu Xinjun, please think twice! "

After Ying Zichu's words fell, King Qin's face turned red, and needles could be heard in the hall.

I had to admit that what Ying Zichu said was indeed the truth.
