Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Just as Zhao Kuo stepped up the steps, a call came from behind him, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Pang Nuan.

Pang Nuan walked a few steps with a smile, slightly behind Zhao Kuo: "Mr. Wu Xin, why did the Empress suddenly call us for a meeting?"

Zhao Kuo chuckled and said, "I just got the news that the Huns invaded the north."

Zhao Kuo's years of management in the military played a role at this moment. There were actually two copies of the emergency military information sent by the generals in the northern border counties, one was sent to the queen mother in the palace, and the other was sent directly to Zhao Kuo's mansion.

So although Zhao Kuo was on vacation at the manor outside the city, he still rushed back to Handan in time.

"what?"

Pang Nuan was stunned, and after a few seconds, he said, "These Huns are crazy, instead of going to Qin and Yan, they came to our Great Zhao?"

Zhao Kuo spread his hands and said, "Honestly, Ben Hou also thinks they are crazy."

Although Zhao Guo has indeed suffered a lot of blows over the years, the saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse is not just talking. Zhao Guo is now stronger than the Xiongnu. Elephants are very different from puppies.

After a pause, Zhao Kuo said again: "However, it is quite good for the Xiongnu to choose this time to invade. The military war in Dazhao has just ended, and now it is inconvenient to mobilize troops in autumn. In a short time, we should only rely on the Northern Frontier Cavalry Corps and The Huns resisted."

Today, the size of the Northern Frontier Cavalry Corps of Zhao State is about 4 to 5, and the invading Huns cavalry has more than 3 people.

In terms of military strength, it is natural that the side cavalry army of Zhao State has the advantage, but what the side cavalry army needs to guard is the vast border of thousands of miles in five counties in the north of Zhao State, and the more than 3 Hun cavalry are completely concentrated in Zhao State. Invaded a specific place, so the Huns had an absolute numerical advantage on the local real battlefield.

Pang Nuan glanced at Zhao Kuo and said, "Wu Xinjun doesn't seem to be worried about the Huns?"

Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Pang Qing was joking, but he is just a mere Hun, so why worry?"

Zhao Kuo has already made up his mind, and will recommend his favorite general Li Mu to fight the Xiongnu after the court discussion.

Winter is coming soon, and Zhao Kuo, who is in the icy and snowy north, is of course not interested. Isn't it uncomfortable to hold his wife at home and watch the children play?

As for whether Li Mu can defeat the Huns, let alone, in history, Li Mu once wiped out 10,000+ Huns soldiers and horses in one battle, and that was done under the premise that the national power was extremely weak after the defeat of Zhao State in the Battle of Changping.

Now Zhao Guo is the most powerful country in the world, and Li Mu has the Chi You Army, the most powerful army in the world, coupled with Zhao Kuo's guidance through precepts and deeds over the years and Li Mu's outstanding talent, Zhao Kuo feels that this battle is completely worth it. Zero open, the kind without any suspense.

The only thing to worry about is that when Lin Xiangru and the others recommend Le Cheng, this matter will not be easy to handle.

It's not that Zhao Kuo looked down on Le Cheng, but if Le Cheng went to command, it would definitely not be a [-]% result, and why did Zhao Kuo let Le Cheng, a political opponent, have a chance to gain military merit?

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but said to Pang Nuan beside him: "Pang Qing, if Lecheng Da Sima wants to lead the army later, you can oppose it with Benhou, is it okay?"

Pang Nuan laughed and nodded very seriously: "Please don't worry, Junhou, it will be absolutely fine!"

Just when Zhao Kuo and Pang Nuan were walking and laughing, and the atmosphere was full of joy, another carriage stopped at the steps of the palace.

Lin Xiangru, Le Cheng, and Zhou Shaofen walked down one after another, and their eyes fell on Zhao Kuo and Pang Nuan who were not far above.

Lin Xiangru blinked slightly, revealing a smile.

Wu Xinjun, do you think the old man will recommend the Great Sima to lead the army?

This time, the old man will give you a little surprise.

Chapter 552 The Veteran Recommends Wu Xinjun to the North to Counter the Rebellion

Zhao Kingdom Miyagi, the main hall.

The Queen Mother walked into the hall, followed by King Zhao.

Everyone is not surprised by this. During this period of time, the Queen Mother seems to want to let Zhao Wang know more about political affairs, and she will let Zhao Wang attend almost every court meeting.

Zhao Wang is also very well-behaved, never expressing any opinions, just obediently playing the role of a puppet.

Monarchs and ministers bow to each other, and then take their seats.

The Empress Dowager looked a little angry, and said: "Masters, this Hun is so bold that he dares to invade the border county of Dazhao. What do you think?"

For the queen mother, the invasion of the Huns was undoubtedly a naked slap in the face and contempt.

Let the weak countries like Yan, Yiqu, and Qin not fight, but come to fight Zhao?

It is tolerable, what is unbearable.

As soon as the Queen Mother's words fell, Zhao Sheng, Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, Pingyuan Lord, immediately said: "Queen Mother, the old minister thought that we must send troops immediately to let the Huns know how powerful our Great Zhao is!"

Lin Xiangru also said: "Empress Dowager, the old minister thinks that the Huns have wolfish ambitions and must be wiped out as an example to others!"

Zhao Kuo coughed and said, "Queen Dowager, I think the Xiongnu must fight once.

Otherwise, if the Xiongnu went south again when Da Zhao fought in the Central Plains in the future, it would be a big trouble for Da Zhao. "

On the matter of starting the war, Zhao's important ministers reached an astonishing unanimity.

As the most powerful country in the world, Zhao's expansion and foreign offensive over the years are the strongest among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.

It's fine if Zhao Guo doesn't beat others, but now he is beaten by others, who can bear it?

The queen mother nodded, obviously satisfied with the attitude of the important officials, so she said: "Then, who will be the chief general?"

After the Queen Mother's words fell, Lin Xiangru couldn't wait to say: "Queen Mother, the old man recommends a candidate. This person has made outstanding achievements. He will definitely help Da Zhao defeat the Xiongnu and bring peace to the north of Da Zhao!"

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, Zhao Kuo thought that he really came.

The next step is to recommend Le Cheng, right?

Zhao Kuo glanced at Pang Nuan subconsciously, and Pang Nuan nodded slightly to express his understanding.

As long as Lin Xiangru finished speaking, Zhao Kuo and Pang Nuan would immediately stop Le Cheng's appointment.

Although I don't know what the attitude of Mr. Pingyuan is, but Zhao Kuo feels that since Mr. Pingyuan showed his favor to him not long ago, the possibility of supporting him is still very high.

It doesn't really matter if you don't support it, at most it's just for Le Cheng to gain more military exploits, but from Zhao Kuo's point of view, of course it's best for Li Mu to go.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have the same idea as Zhao Kuo, thinking that Lin Xiangru would recommend Le Cheng, so she glanced at Le Cheng first, and then said, "Who is the leader recommended by Xinjun?"

Lin Xiangru smiled slightly and said, "This person is naturally Wu Xinjun.

Wu Xinjun is recognized as the No. 1 general in the world. With him, the Huns will have nothing to hide, and their defeat is a certainty. "

As soon as Lin Xiangru finished speaking, there was a sound of astonishment in the hall.

Zhao Kuo was choked, coughed violently, and looked at Lin Xiangru in disbelief.

This old guy actually recommended Ben Hou?

Is this transgender?

Zhao Kuo immediately came to his senses that something was wrong, very wrong.

Although there was no personal grievance between Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo, they were the leaders of different factions and were veritable political enemies.

If Zhao Kuo really thought that Lin Xiangru, a political enemy, would benefit him, then Zhao Kuo's brain would have been kicked by a donkey.

So Zhao Kuo immediately said without hesitation: "Queen Mother, I have led the army outside for half a year this year, and I am really exhausted physically and mentally, so I ask the Queen Mother to appoint another general.

The minister recommended Li Mu, the general under his command, to fight, and he would definitely be able to defeat the Xiongnu and bring a good news to the Queen Mother! "

Zhao Kuo's idea is also very simple, don't care what Lin Xiangru wants to do, anyway, I will definitely not follow your way.

After Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the faces of everyone in the hall suddenly became strange.

What happened today, Lin Xiangru recommended Zhao Kuo for the first time, and then Zhao Kuo refused without thinking?

The Empress Dowager also did not expect such a situation. Her surprised eyes looked back and forth between Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo several times before she said, "Both of you tell your reasons."

Zhao Kuo thought that this time Lin Xiangru must not be allowed to compete for the first place, so he immediately said: "Back to the queen mother, Li Mu, the minister's general, served in Gaoquesai for many years, and has rich experience in how to fight against the Xiongnu.

As long as the Queen Mother is willing to give Li Mu a chance, I can guarantee that Li Mu will not disappoint the Queen Mother! "

The Queen Mother was noncommittal, and looked at Lin Xiangru: "Xinjun, what is your reason?"

Lin Xiangru laughed, and said sternly: "Didn't the old minister's reason be said just now?

The No. 1 general in the world, Wu Xinjun, is naturally easy to catch.

However, the veteran also had another opinion.

What Wu Xinjun said just now is very reasonable, that is, if the Huns suddenly go south when Da Zhao conquers the Central Plains in the future, it will indeed be a big trouble for Da Zhao.

Therefore, the old minister suggested that Wu Xinjun, the governor of the military affairs of the northern counties and directly command the border cavalry army, must completely wipe out the Xiongnu, and then lead the army! "

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, the Empress Dowager's face became more and more unbelievable, and she even began to wonder if Lin Xiangru had secretly reached an agreement with Zhao Kuo.

It's okay to let Zhao Kuo go on an expedition. Why did you hand over the military affairs of the northern counties and the entire border cavalry army to Zhao Kuo?

The empress dowager was increasingly angry, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

At this time, Zhao Guoda Sima Lecheng suddenly said: "Queen Mother, I think Xinjun's suggestion is really ingenious, and I completely agree with it!"

The queen mother was stunned again.

Le Cheng also agrees with this proposal?

You must know that Le Cheng can be said to be the person who hates Zhao Kuo the most among all the people present. How could he also agree with the decision to let Zhao Kuo be in power?

The Queen Mother blinked, and suddenly came back to her senses.

No, there must be something in it that the Queen Mother has not noticed.

Just when the queen mother began to think, Zhao Kuo also narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

This Lin Xiangru actually came up with such a sinister plan?

What Lin Xiangru said just now sounds like nothing wrong, but the key lies in the last half sentence.

"Be sure to completely wipe out the Xiongnu, and then go to class!"

Note that it is to exterminate the Huns, not to exterminate the Huns army.

This means that unless Zhao Kuo can wipe out all the Huns tribes on the prairie, otherwise it cannot be regarded as annihilation of the Huns.

In other words, Lin Xiangru wanted Zhao Kuo to stay on the northern frontier of Zhao State and never return to Handan.

Zhao Kuo sneered slightly in his heart, this Lin Xiangru actually wanted to distribute me?

Chapter 553 No way, who made Wu Xinjun too strong

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense.

Many people have come to their senses, their eyeballs are rolling, thinking about the pros and cons of it and what kind of attitude they should adopt next.

Pang Nuan said: "Queen Mother, I think the Xiongnu is just a disease of ringworm. If you use a general like Wu Xinjun to go there, it will make people think that our Great Zhao pays too much attention, and it will give other countries Great Zhao. Now he is very weak and has to send Wu Xin Your feeling.

In my opinion, it is still necessary to adopt Wu Xinjun's suggestion and send a hero like Li Mu.

First, it can ensure the victory of Da Zhao, and second, it can also let other princes understand that our Da Zhao is still extremely powerful. "

Needless to say, Pang Nuan's position has always been in support of Zhao Kuo.

Le Cheng sneered, and said: "Pang Qing, what you said is wrong.

We must know that the Huns have not gone south for many years, and now they suddenly go south must have some reason, if we do not deal with it carefully, maybe something big will happen.

Besides, if there is no way to wipe out the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, how will Da Zhao continue to go south to the Central Plains to fight for hegemony in the future?

Or let Wu Xinjun go out to guard it. "

The attitudes of the two sides became wise. Lin Xiangru and Le Cheng obviously wanted to "assign" Zhao Kuo to the north, but Pang Nuan naturally would not allow it.

Now there are three factions in Zhao Guo, Zhao Kuo's faction is now fighting with Lin Xiangru's faction, and only Pingyuan Jun's faction remains silent.

As an important minister of the King Zhao's family, Mr. Pingyuan is not only the Xiangbang of the Zhao Kingdom, but also the uncle of the current King Zhao. His attitude can basically determine the ownership of this opinion.

Zhao Kuo frowned, knowing that things were getting tricky this time.

If it was two years ago, Mr. Pingyuan would definitely stand on Zhao Kuo's side without hesitation, but now Zhao Kuo is too strong, strong enough to become Mr. Pingyuan's opponent! "It seems that the Marquis is probably going to the north for a trip."

Zhao Kuo thought to himself.

But immediately, Zhao Kuo came back to his senses, and thought: "Actually, going to the north may not be a bad thing."

In Handan, Zhao Kuo is undoubtedly the focus of everyone's eyes. Even if they do nothing, many people have been watching Zhao Kuo vigilantly.

But in the northern counties, it is obvious that there will not be so many people staring at Zhao Kuo all the time.

It is far away from the Central Plains and close to barbarians like the Huns. Most of the Zhao people there come from Linhu, Lou Fan and other foreign tribes that Zhao conquered before. The control of the Zhao State Central Committee is actually very weak there.

If managed properly, it is entirely possible to turn the northern counties into Zhao Kuo's private kingdom!It is of course very difficult to build a private kingdom, but Zhao Kuo can do things that others cannot.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth twitched slightly, suddenly feeling like he wanted to laugh out loud.

Dialectics tells us that everything has two sides, and if there is a good side, there must be a bad side.

Lin Xiangru and others thought that this was the exile of Zhao Kuo, but they didn't know that this might be Zhao Kuo's real escape from the barriers and take off by himself!Zhao Kuo began to calm down, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger.
