Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

From Li Mu's point of view, this vast prairie is all the country that Zhao Kuo conquered. It should have cultivated a good influence, how can it be said to let it go?

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, and reached out his hand to tap Li Mu: "You, you are indeed good at war, but in this politics, you really have to make progress."

Zhao Kuo really didn't deliberately suppress Li Mu, but Li Mu's personality is like this.

How did Li Mu die in history?

Wasn't it because his political intelligence was too low, and he was blind and loyal to Zhao Wangqian, and was finally forced to death by Zhao Wangqian!Li Mu touched his head, and said with a chuckle: "I just need to be loyal to the lord, other things are political and not political, why should I care about it as a general?"

Zhao Kuo laughed again, and said to Li Mu seriously, "Don't worry.

Everyone thought that this was the country made by the Marquis who was picked by others, but they were all wrong!Is the grassland so easy to control with just a few people?

Just watch, they thought they had won, but after two or three years at most, the grassland will be back under our control again! "

When speaking, Zhao Kuo is also full of confidence.

As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit has three holes!As a politician, it is necessary to always leave a way out for yourself.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a very funny thing to be killed by the Qin legal system created by himself like Shang Yang?

Why did Zhao Kuo bring Xu Li, the chief butler of Nightingale, and Guo Zong, the chief financial officer, to the north?

In fact, there is no need to tell Li Mu and these subordinates about some things in detail, as long as Zhao Kuo knows it in his own mind.

"Going back to Handan tomorrow?"

After hearing this sentence, Yiquwei was somewhat reluctant.

Zhao Kuo scratched Yi Quwei's upturned nose, and said with a smile, "Why, haven't you had enough fun in Datong City?"

Yiquwei sighed, and said: "No, in fact, the concubine also misses a child.

It's just that after returning to Handan, I have to keep in touch with those noble ladies, it's very boring! "

Although Yiquwei is just a concubine, she is Zhao Kuo's concubine.

Since she has been canonized as wife by the queen mother herself, Yiquwei is legally a "equal wife" of Zhao Kuo. Although her status is still not as good as that of her regular wife Tian Wan, she can have normal discussions with the wives of other great nobles when she goes out. up.

This is why people often say that to get married, one must marry a good husband.

As long as the husband is strong enough, being a concubine is much more beautiful than other people's regular wives!After some tenderness, Zhao Kuo said to Yiquwei: "By the way, there should be someone around you who can contact your brother, right?"

Yiquwei froze for a moment, then said: "Indeed there are.

Is your husband looking for something to do with your brother? Could it be that you want Yiqu country to send troops to help Zhao country? "

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "What are you thinking?

Yiqu Kingdom's military strength is not even comparable to your husband and me, so how can we send troops to help Da Zhao?

But Le Cheng did play tricks, and wanted to take advantage of this war to destroy Yiqu. "

You must know that Pang Nuan, the highest official in charge of diplomacy of Zhao State, is an ally of Zhao Kuo, so Zhao State sent an envoy to order Yiqu State to attack Qin State with all the soldiers from the whole country, so that Qin State would have no time to look east. This order has also been understood by Zhao Kuo. up.

Yiquwei was taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Kuo's sleeve: "Husband, save Brother Wang and Yiqu Country!"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "It's okay, this time Le Cheng did too much, although Yi Qu is not strong, he is also an ally of Da Zhao after all, how can he deliberately let Yi Qu die because he and I are political enemies?

You immediately send someone to take my token to Yiqu City, and tell him that he only needs to mobilize troops and horses to put on a show on the border of Qin State, and absolutely do not break out any conflicts or wars.

Otherwise, if there is a change in the battlefield of the Great Zhao Central Plains, then the Yiqu Kingdom will really perish for the second time! "

Zhao Kuo's words were very serious and earnest, and Yi Quwei didn't lose sleepiness after speaking, she stood up and said, "I'll make arrangements now."

Zhao Kuo smiled, and suddenly grabbed Yi Quwei, and pulled the beauty into his arms: "It's okay, there should be no need to worry about this tonight, we're still..." Just when the two of them were about to fight again, Suddenly Xu Li's voice sounded outside: "My lord, the envoy of King Chu has arrived!"

Zhao Kuo froze, although he was very reluctant in his heart, he let go of Yi Quwei who was already winking, and walked out of the room with some doubts: "The envoy of King Chu?

Take him to the study. "

A while later, Zhao Kuo saw Li Yuan, the envoy of Chu State, in the study.

"So it's Dr. Li Yuan, I've been waiting for a long time, I've been waiting for a long time."

Zhao Kuo smiled as soon as he saw Li Yuan, and warmly invited him to a seat.

This is the uncle of the state of Chu, and he is also the current political ally of the former retainer of Lord Yin Chunshen, the order of the state of Chu.

Li Yuan had a dusty look on his face, and after bowing his hands to Zhao Kuo, he said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid Wu Xinjun doesn't know, it's not easy to see you.

This time, the king and Chunshen Jun have given thousands of instructions in advance, and we must get an affirmative answer from you! "

Zhao Kuo was thoughtful, and after a while he said, "Could it be the reply to the great Zhao's attack on Wei?"

Li Yuan nodded, fixed his eyes on Zhao Kuo, and said, "I don't know what Wu Xinjun thinks about Zhao Guo's attack on Wei?"

Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, then said: "So the king of Chu has decided to help Wei?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Whether to help Wei Guo or not, the most important factor is Wu Xinjun's answer.

After discussing with Lord Chunshen, the king and Lord Chunshen agreed that only Lord Wu Xin was the smartest person in Zhao, and only Lord Wu Xin could solve this problem. "

Zhao Kuo was silent for a longer time.

The meaning of the Chu people is actually very obvious, that is, they hope to use Zhao Kuo to prevent Zhao Guo from attacking Wei.

After a while, Zhao Kuo said: "To be honest with Dr. Li Yuan, I have already made a memorial on this matter, but I don't have any chance of winning in my heart whether I can stop Le Cheng from attacking Wei."

Disappointment was evident on Li Yuan's face: "In that case, Li Yuan will resign."

Zhao Kuo sent Li Yuan away, turned around, the smile on his face disappeared completely, and said to Xu Li: "Uncle Xu, prepare the horses immediately, and I will return to Handan immediately!"

Xu Li was taken aback: "Why is the Lord so anxious?"

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and said slowly, "Chu, I'm afraid it has sent troops to help Wei!"

Chapter 625 Chu State Aids Wei, Yiqu Qin State Is Tangled

Just as Zhao Kuo was heading south in the middle of the night, a meeting was being held in the palace of Chen Ying of Chu State.

Ling Yin Chunshenjun's face was clearly entangled, and he said: "Now that Dr. Li Yuan has not returned, Da Chu is in a hurry to tear up the covenant with Zhao Guo to help Wei Guo. Is it a bit too anxious?"

Opposite Chunshen Jun, Grand Sima Jingyang of Chu State sneered and said, "Are you still in a hurry?

The 15 troops led by Zhao Guoda Sima Lecheng will approach Daliang City in at most five days, and it will take at least seven or eight days for Li Yuan to return from Datong City. How can we wait so long? "

Chun Shenjun said angrily: "Surrounding Daliang City doesn't mean that it can be conquered. Could it be that Daliang City is the kind of city that will fall within two or three days?"

Jing Jing said coldly: "Wei Wang has become a frightened bird now, if Da Chu doesn't send troops immediately, Wei Wang may not have the fighting spirit to persevere.

Therefore, we must let King Wei know that Da Chu has sent troops before Daliang City is surrounded! "

The quarrel between the two made the king of Chu, the leader, upset, and couldn't help shouting: "Okay, shut up, everyone!"

The hall fell into silence for a moment.

Why did Chu State react so strongly to Zhao State's attack on Wei State, and even tore up the covenant and sent troops?

The answer is actually very simple, because Chen Ying, the current capital of Chu State, is very close to Daliang City!After Baiqi captured Yingdu, King Chu Qingxiang moved his capital to Chencheng, which is close to the Central Plains. The purpose was to facilitate mutual support with Wei, South Korea, Zhao and other Central Plains princes, so as to resist Qin's attack.

But time has changed, and now the most powerful country in the world has become Zhao Guo, which made Chen Cheng's position quite awkward unconsciously.

Originally there was Wei State as a buffer between Zhao State and Chu State, Chu State did not need to worry too much about the threat from Zhao State, but now once Wei State is destroyed by Zhao State, Zhao State’s border will advance southward to the distance Chencheng is only two hundred miles away.

At that time, Chen Cheng will be completely exposed to Zhao Guo's soldiers!Moreover, the area around Chencheng and Daliang City are all terrains like plains and rivers, and there are no difficulties and obstacles to defend. The people of Zhao State will definitely be able to easily attack Chencheng and take down the capital of Chu State. surrounded.

This is undoubtedly completely unacceptable to Chu State.

Therefore, the king of Chu sent two envoys to Zhao Guo as soon as he learned that Zhao Guo was attacking Wei. The first one went to Handan, and the other Li Yuan went straight to Datong City to find Zhao Kuo.

After all, in the eyes of King Chu, Zhao Kuo is the real "old friend of Great Chu".

It's just that Da Chu's old friend doesn't know what his attitude is now, but Wei's military situation is so urgent that it is time for the King of Chu to make a decision.

The King of Chu hesitated for a long time, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chunshen, you are the general.

Da Sima, you are the lieutenant general.

The two of you immediately organize one hundred thousand troops to go north to aid Daliang City of Wei State! "

After King Chu's words fell, Jingyang was overjoyed, but Chunshen Jun's expression was mixed with worry.

Jun Shen couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, I'm not worried about fighting Le Cheng, I'm just worried about what if Lord Wu Xin goes to war?"

After these words were finished, the hall became quiet again.

Are Chu people afraid of death?

Of course not afraid of death.

But the problem is that Chu State is afraid of Zhao Kuo!No, it should be said that who in this world is not afraid of Zhao Kuo?

After several seconds, Jingyang said: "It's okay, isn't Le Cheng Zhao Kuo's political enemy?

Now that Le Cheng has become the chief general, the Queen Mother of Zhao Guo should not send Zhao Kuo to take over the army to preside over the crusade against Wei due to checks and balances. "

After these words were finished, the other people present breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

The King of Chu smiled and said, "Very well, what are you waiting for?

Let's go straight away! "

The king of Chu was straightforward, but in the west of Huaxia, the monarchs of Yiqu and Qin were both in entanglement at the same time.

The young king of Yiqu, Yiqu Sheng, was sitting on top of the main hall, staring at the envoy of Zhao State in front of him, his eyes widened: "Do you want the whole country to attack Qin?"

Zhao Guo's envoy was very arrogant and said coldly: "Yes.

Yiqu country and Dazhao are brothers, so the king of Yiqu wouldn't even listen to his brother's words, right? "

A minister in the name of Qu Country couldn't help but said: "But our Yiqu Country is far from being the opponent of Qin Country in terms of national strength. If we just send troops like this, it will be a very dangerous thing for our Yiqu Country!"

The envoy of Zhao State turned his head to stare at the Minister of Qu State, and said coldly: "Why, do you want to go against Da Zhao's wishes?

Could it be that Yiqu Kingdom wants to go against Da Zhao's wishes? "

Yiqu Sheng turned his eyes and said with a quick smile: "The envoy, don't be angry, our Yiqu country is a small country with few people, and the officials are not sensible.

Please reply to the empress dowager and king of Shangguo, and say that our Yiqu country will send troops immediately to help Shangguo destroy Weiguo together! "

After Zhao Guo's envoy left, several ministers who were in charge of the country spoke up to remonstrate.

"Your Majesty, the people of Zhao Guo obviously want to send our Yiqu to death!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, our Yiqu cavalry has less than [-] cavalry, how could it be the opponent of Qin's hundreds of thousands of troops?"

Yi Qusheng waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, this king only has opinions.

Hmph, the queen mother of Zhao State wants this king to die, but she doesn't know that this king is not without connections in Zhao State! "

Yi Qusheng took out a letter and circulated it to the several ministers present.

After the circulation, the ministers of the Yiqu Kingdom loosened their frowning brows and smiled on their faces.

A more mature minister of the Yiqu Kingdom was still a little worried, and said, "Your Majesty, if the Queen Mother Zhao knows that we are perfunctory to them, will it be against us?"

Yi Qusheng opened his mouth and laughed: "This king's restoration of the country does not rely on her Queen Mother Zhao, but on my brother-in-law Wu Xinjun! If there is such a day, we will support Wu Xinjun and turn against the Queen Mother Zhao. Why not!"

The rapid mobilization of soldiers and horses of the Yiqu Kingdom quickly aroused the vigilance of the King of Qin, and began to call many ministers of the Qin Kingdom to discuss.

The King of Qin said: "Masters, now Zhao Guo is attacking Wei, and Wei Guo sent envoys to ask for help.

The state of Chu has also dispatched troops, and the people of Yiqu seem to be eyeing the border. Tell me, what should I do? "

After King Qin's words fell, the faces of many Qin ministers became quite dignified.

No way, for a long time in the past, confronting Zhao Guo was almost tantamount to bringing the word failure back to Qin State.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"My lord, Zhao Kuo is not the leader of the army this time, so why should Daqin be afraid of Zhao?

As long as Daqin, Chu and Wei join forces to fight against Zhao, then Le Cheng will definitely lose! "

Chapter 626 Otherwise, forget about poisoning Ying Zichu to death

After the words were finished, everyone subconsciously shifted their gazes and found that it was Wang Jian, the general of the Qin State.

In the past few years, veteran generals such as Bai Qi and Wang He were either dismissed because of defeat or directly disappeared because of defeat, so King Qin had to promote a large number of new generals.

Wang Jian, as one of the young generals who performed relatively well, now also has the qualifications to participate in the discussion in the court.

King Qin looked at Wang Jian and said, "Tell me your opinion."
