Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Thinking of Zhao Kuo's deflated expression, King Yan suddenly felt refreshed and couldn't help laughing out loud.

At this moment, a minister of the Yan Kingdom hurried into the palace with a look of panic.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

King Yan's face darkened, and he said angrily, "What's wrong?"

The Minister of Yan State hastily presented a report: "Your Majesty, this is the military situation that Lord Chang just sent back!"

King Yan had a bad premonition in his heart, and said, "Mr. Guo, please read aloud to the widow."

Guo Wei was stunned for a moment, took over the military situation, and read it.

"Chen Yuejian reported to the King: I led the army to the Donghu Royal Court, and had already controlled the situation, but Zhao Guowu Xinjun Zhao Kuo suddenly led tens of thousands of cavalry, and forced the minister to withdraw from the Donghu Royal Court immediately, and sent all the Donghu population. , Land, and livestock are handed over.

The minister argued hard, but Zhao Kuo was arrogant and unreasonable, saying that if the minister was unwilling to retreat, he would start a war immediately.

The minister thought for a long time, and thought that starting a war at this time was not in the interests of Dayan, so he decided to withdraw his troops and give up all the Donghu royal court and land.

The minister is guilty, please come down to the king! "

The more Guo Kui read, the more trembling he became, until finally he couldn't read any more.

The smile on King Yan's face completely disappeared, turning completely livid.

After a while, King Yan said coldly: "Mr. Guo, didn't you just say that Zhao Kuo would never arrive at the Eastern Hu Royal Court in time?"

Guo Kai was also dumbfounded, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know why Zhao Kuo is so fast."

King Yan finally couldn't control the anger in his heart, and directly flipped the table with a bang.

"Idiot, I don't know this and I don't know that, tell me, what is the use of you guys!!!"

Guo Wei was so shocked that he could only kneel down and plead guilty.

King Yan's mentality completely collapsed, and he directly yelled at Guo Wei and Le Jian, swearing all kinds of obscenities, and even said several times that he would take their lives, which made Guo Wei tremble.

After scolding Guo Kui Lejian, King Yan targeted Zhao Kuo again.

"It's Zhao Kuo again, it's still Zhao Kuo, every time it's Zhao Kuo!"

"Damn Zhao Kuo, why is it that he is always there for bad people and good things?"

"Sooner or later, the widow will definitely tear Zhao Kuo apart!"

King Yan was mad at Zhao Kuo.

Chapter 619

Handan.

Zhao Guoda Sima Lecheng has been in a very bad mood recently, very bad.

Everyone knew why, and the servants in Lecheng Mansion were quietly warning each other.

"Remember, absolutely don't mention the word Wu Xinjun, otherwise if the head of the family hears what you say, you will be finished!"

For Le Cheng, every victory of Zhao Kuo is like a sharp knife, piercing Le Cheng's heart fiercely.

There were many sleepless nights, Le Cheng also asked himself, is it a good choice to betray Zhao Kuo?

After very painful thinking, Le Cheng came to a conclusion that if he did it all over again, Le Cheng would still choose to betray Zhao Kuo and get the position of Da Sima.

"A man is nothing without power!"

Le Cheng said so to himself.

Having said that, Le Cheng's mood is still not getting better.

The reason is also very simple. In order to restrict Zhao Kuo, the Queen Mother, Lin Xiangru and Pingyuan made a promise that "as long as Wu Xinjun defeats Donghu, he can return to China".

The starting point of this promise is actually very simple, that is, everyone feels that since the Xiongnu have been defeated by Lord Wu Xinjun, it is impossible for the Donghu people to be so stubborn and fight Zhao Kuo again, right?

Grassland nomads are different from farming peoples in the Central Plains. Farming peoples must have land. If there is no land to grow crops, there will be no food and no way to survive. Grassland nomads mainly rely on livestock, which they need to eat It's grass, if I can't eat grass here, I can just eat it in another place, it doesn't matter.

It is precisely because of this completely different attitude towards the land that when the grassland nomads went south to invade the Central Plains, the Central Plains dynasty had to do their best to resist and prevent the grassland people from destroying and seizing the cultivated land; but when the Central Plains people went north to attack the grassland nomads, the grassland nomads The nation can slip away directly with oil on its feet.

Anyway, you can eat grass everywhere, can't you?

Based on this logic, the Queen Mother, Mr. Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru, Le Cheng and others all take it for granted that Donghu people will definitely not take the initiative to provoke Zhao Kuo, and even if Zhao Kuo takes the initiative to provoke Donghu people, Donghu people can run far away Don't let Zhao Kuo succeed.

As long as Zhao Kuo beats the air two or three times, wouldn't the two or three years have passed?

The queen mother, Le Cheng and others put Zhao Kuo on the northern border of Zhao State to delay the time, and the goal was successfully achieved.

But what Le Cheng never expected was that the Donghu people took the initiative to go to Zhao Kuo for a decisive battle!After hearing the news, Le Cheng was stunned at first, then furious, then fell silent, and finally Le Cheng began to burn incense and worship God!There is a small shrine in the deepest part of Yuefu. This is the shrine dedicated to Taiyi God and the ancestors of the Le family. Originally, Lecheng only came once or twice a year, but these days it has become a regular visitor.

On this day, smoke billowed again from the censer in the ancestral hall. Le Cheng was dressed in sackcloth and knelt on the ground with a simple and pious expression, muttering words after three prostrations.

"God Taiyi and the ancestors of the Le family are above all. It is really senseless for Zhao Kuo to kill everywhere. Please also ask God Taiyi and the ancestors to bring disasters to Zhao Kuo. He must die young." After a while, Le Cheng stood up, bowed to the pile of tablets in front of him again, and walked out with a serious face.

A steward rushed over and said to Le Cheng, "Patriarch, Xinjun and Zhou Qing are here!"

"Xinjun, Zhou Qing."

Standing at the entrance of the lobby, Le Cheng bowed his hands towards Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen, with a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Le Cheng is really flattered that you two can come."

Le Cheng is because his family knows his own affairs, and Le Cheng and Mr. Yuan cooperated with each other on the issue of Zhao Kuo, which is actually equivalent to a small betrayal of Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xiangru was able to come as soon as possible after the court meeting, which can be said to be a very interesting performance.

Lin Xiangru smiled and said, "Why does Yue Qing have to be so polite?

Since you and I are allies, it is also appropriate to visit each other. "

Le Cheng invited Lin Xiangru and the two of them into the hall, and each sat down as the guest of honor, and asked someone to serve the most popular iced soup in summer to relieve the heat, and then asked: "I don't know if you two are here, but during the court meeting What happened?"

Lin Xiangru and Zhou Shaofen looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, Le Cheng felt more and more uneasy, and couldn't help but asked, "Could it be that Lord Wu Xin won the victory again?"

Zhou Shaofen was helpless, and said: "Yes.

Just got the news that Lord Wu Xin fought a battle with the Donghu cavalry at the foot of Langjuxu Mountain. Not only did he defeat the Donghu army, but he also directly killed the Donghu king Qixie who had just succeeded to the throne, and captured and killed more than [-] Donghu cavalry! "

Le Cheng: "" Although there are countless alpacas galloping in his heart, Le Cheng finds that he can't say anything at the moment.

This Zhao Kuo, others can brag about a victory for ten years, why is Zhao Kuo winning a war as easy as eating and drinking water?

It may be because he has been hit too hard by many victories, Le Cheng found that he was numb, and there was not even much fluctuation in his heart.

If you win, you win, it doesn't matter.

Lin Xiangru sighed, and said helplessly: "Thousands of calculations have been made, but I still haven't figured out that King Donghu is so greedy for profit, and he took the initiative to provoke Wu Xinjun, alas!"

Le Cheng said indifferently: "Although Zhao Kuo's morals are corrupt, he really has nothing to say about fighting.

I thought he might not be good at cavalry before, but now it seems alas! "

Le Cheng let out a long sigh, containing countless melancholy.

Le Cheng considers himself a famous general, and even feels that his talent is not inferior to that of Lian Po and the dead Ma Fujun Zhao She.

But in the face of Zhao Kuo Lecheng, no matter how much he hated Zhao Kuo, he still felt a kind of powerlessness in his heart.

This Zhao Kuo is completely evil!Zhou Shaofen also sighed, and said: "No matter how we deal with Wu Xinjun, as long as Da Zhao still needs Wu Xinjun to win, then we have no good way to take Wu Xinjun."

There was a silence in the hall, and the faces of the three Zhao Guozhong officials were very solemn.

Although Zhou Shaofen's words sound harsh, they are indeed the truth.

In this era of endless conquests by princes, there is actually only one kind of talent who is truly welcomed by all kings, and that is generals who can win battles!Even if Zhao Kuo can't get along in Zhao Guo, as long as he is willing to leave Zhao Guo to go to any country, he will definitely be treated with courtesy by the king of this country, and he will be given the command of the whole country's troops immediately, even if he is killed by Zhao Kuo. Qin, with tens of thousands of people, is no exception.

Just when Le Cheng wanted to find a topic to break the silence, a court envoy suddenly arrived.

"Le Qing, the Empress Dowager lifted your confinement and asked you to enter the palace immediately to discuss matters! Xinjun and Zhou Qing are also here?

That's fine, let's go to the palace together. "

When the messenger's notification fell, Le Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Don't say that Zhao Kuo won another battle, right?

Chapter 620 Can’t Let The North Become Zhao Kuo’s Independent Kingdom

After receiving the Queen Mother's order, Le Cheng, Lin Xiangru, Zhou Shaofen and others also rushed to King Zhao's palace immediately.

Not long after the three of them sat down, Lord Pingyuan also came with the grounded Lord Pingyang.

After a while, the Queen Mother appeared with the young King Zhao.

At this time, Le Cheng couldn't help but let out a sigh, and found something wrong.

What about Pang Nuan?

Everyone in the main hall is full of human beings, and they all noticed that Pang Nuan was not present, so they couldn't help but look weird.

The queen mother coughed lightly, and said lightly: "Just now, the old lady gave Pang Qing a mission, asking him to go to the country of Yan to communicate with the people of the country about ginseng."

As soon as everyone heard it, everyone understood that the Queen Mother was clearly trying to send Pang Nuan away on purpose.

Think again, who is Pang Nuan?

That is Zhao Kuo's staunch ally among the seven important ministers of Zhao State.

Le Cheng smiled unconsciously.

This court discussion is clearly aimed at Zhao Kuo!Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, even if you have won so many battles, so what?

Isn't it the same to be feared by the queen mother and the king?

Le Cheng's numb mind was comforted and began to improve.

The queen mother said to the eunuch: "Eunuch, just received another battle report from Lord Wu Xin, please read it to everyone."

Zhou Shaofen felt a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "Wu Xinjun's battle report on Langjuxu Mountain has just been delivered, how come there is a second battle report so soon?"

Le Cheng glanced at Zhou Shaofen, thinking that people who don't know how to fight are like this, but for the sake of allies, he explained: "Langjuxu Mountain is in Mobei, nearly ten thousand miles away from Handan, and we have to cross the desert along the way." , next door and various mountains.

The Donghu King's Court is just north of the Yan State, and it is only about three thousand miles away from Handan. It only needs to go around the grassland for a few hundred miles to enter the territory of Dazhao.

Therefore, although the two battle reports may be more than ten days apart, it is normal for them to arrive on the same day. "

The eunuch Ling took the military newspaper, nodded slightly to everyone, and then began to read.

"Minister Zhao Kuo reported to the King and Queen Mother:" Listening to this, the complexions of Zhao Guojun and his ministers in the hall began to change.

Occupy the entire Donghu?

Divide 99 pastures in Monan and Mobei?

It is suggested to expand the scale of the Guixia army, and control the Guixia army with Zhao Guojun officers as the main body?

Ask Handan to send at least [-] officials north to control Monan and Mobei?

Ask the Queen Mother to name Monan, Mobei, and Donghu?

This item by item is all credit for scaring people to death!The change in Le Cheng's face was the most obvious, and the turmoil in his heart was even churning.

Although Le Cheng has been reassuring himself that he has become numb and that Zhao Kuoying is normal, but when things come to an end, Le Cheng still finds something weird, and he really can't calm down.

Le Cheng glanced at the other people around in the main hall, and found that the faces of the others were similar to his own, and he probably had similar thoughts in his heart.

Zhao Kuo is really too strong, so strong that he can cover up the light of all Zhao's ministers.

Le Cheng opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Although Le Cheng really wanted to criticize Zhao Kuo, one thing must be admitted is that Zhao Kuo has made great contributions!It is definitely a very stupid behavior to attack at the moment when this good news comes.

There was an eerie silence in the hall.

Suddenly, the young King Zhao spoke.

"My queen, it is indeed necessary to send some officials to the north as soon as possible. Otherwise, if those Xiongnu and Donghu people say something strange, the land of Monan, Mobei and Donghu will not be easy to control."

Although the words of the young King Zhao were a bit cryptic, everyone could hear the meaning in the words.

Why is it not easy to control the territory that has just been laid down?

Of course, there is only one reason, and that is the person who laid down this territory for Zhao Guo!A frightening fact is that Zhao Kuo conquered a territory larger than the entire Zhao State before the war in just a few months.

Although the population is not large, the entire territory is estimated to be about a million people, which is about [-]% to [-]% of the current Zhao country's population.

However, due to the characteristics of nomads, it is not a problem at all to randomly recruit 10,000 or [-]+ cavalry among these millions of people.
