Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Wang Jian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although the Zhao State is powerful, it doesn't mean that the Zhao army will be invincible.

The real fear of Zhao Guo is actually Zhao Kuo, a Wu Xinjun. As long as Zhao Kuo doesn't go out, why should Qin be afraid? The Xihe County in the east of Guanzhong, which was occupied by Zhao State, once again brought the entire Guanzhong back to Daqin's control! "

Wang Jian's words were resounding, and caused quite a stir in the hearts of the king and ministers of the Qin Kingdom in the main hall.

Since the last time Zhao Kuo led the army to drive straight into Guanzhong and captured King Qin in Xianyang, Xihe County in the east of Guanzhong was ceded to Zhao State.

This also caused the border of Zhao State to be only one or two hundred miles away from Xianyang, the capital of Qin State. Qin State has been on high alert for the past two years, and had to build a simple Qin State along the place where it confronted Wei State. Great Wall of the East.

If we were to talk about what Qin's monarchs and ministers desire most in their hearts, regaining Xihe County would definitely rank first.

King Qin said slowly: "Of course I also want to take back Xihe County, but is this realistic?"

King Qin was afraid.

As a person who was captured before, King Qin had already experienced such despair once, and he didn't want to experience it again even if he was killed.

Wang Jian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo don't go out, the problem of recovering Xihe County is not a big problem! Many soldiers in the Daqin army are holding back their energy now, and they want to give Zhao people a good look." !"

What Wang Jian said was true.

After Zhao State occupied Xihe County, a large number of Qin people did not want to be the people of Zhao State, so they moved westward with their families and still came to Qin State. These people are also the ones who are most eager to fight back to Xihe County.

King Qin still hesitated, so he said: "General Wang Jian, please sit down first, do the other ministers have any opinions?"

After all, Wang Jian is just a fluffy boy. It is impossible for King Qin to send troops rashly just because of his few words, especially if he wants to send troops to the current most powerful country in the world, Zhao Guo.

Qin Guoxiang Bang Fan Sui thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, since Chu State has sent troops to assist Wei State, Da Qin might as well wait and see for a while to see how the battle situation develops before making any calculations."

Fan Sui's opinion immediately got the approval of many Qin ministers.

King Qin was not the only one who was afraid of the last Qin-Zhao war, and many ministers present were also prisoners of Zhao Kuo.

King Qin was treated preferentially as a monarch, and there was basically a minimum guarantee for all kinds of treatment. These ministers were miserable, and the experience can only be said to be unbearable.

The ministers don't want to be a second prisoner even more than King Qin!Seeing that the public opinion was about to gradually turn to the conservative side, at this moment, another important minister of the Qin State spoke up.

Yangquan Jun Michen stood up and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I think you should go to war with Zhao!"

King Qin's pupils shrank slightly, and said, "Why?"

Lord Yangquan said: "Your Majesty, since the loss of Xihe County, the passages between Daqin Guanzhong, Nanjun, and Nanyang County have also been cut off.

Now that Daqin wants to contact Nanjun and Nanyang, he has to go around Hanzhong and make a big detour.

This will also greatly affect the speed at which Daqin's government orders are issued, and if one day Chu suddenly strikes, it will even affect the speed at which Daqin sends troops to rescue Nanjun and Nanyangjun.

Even as a precautionary measure, Daqin should find a way to take back Xihe County.

Now is a rare opportunity, Daqin must not give up. "

After Lord Yangquan finished speaking, King Qin fell into deep thought again.

Mr. Yangquan is an important minister of the Qin State, and at the same time the brother-in-law of the King of Qin, so his words are quite important.

More importantly, everyone knows that Mr. Yangquan and Prince Ying Zichu wear a pair of trousers.

So, King Qin turned his attention to Ying Zichu again: "Zi Chuer, what's your opinion?"

Ying Zichu stood up, bowed and said: "Father, I also feel that Daqin needs a victory, and now that the main force of the Zhao army is entangled with the Chu Wei allied forces in the east, it is definitely the best time for Daqin to win this victory.

If my father missed this time, when Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo lead the army next time, Daqin's victory would be even more difficult to win. "

King Qin's face changed slightly, and he said lightly: "Even if Le Cheng is defeated, Zhao Kuo may lead the army to fight the fire."

Ying Zi said clearly: "Going back to my father, there is indeed a possibility.

But when the time comes, Daqin has won the victory, and he can take the initiative to hold peace talks with Zhao.

After all, if Le Cheng fails, the allied forces of Chu and Wei may invade Handan at any time. At that time, Zhao Guo must be very happy to have peace talks with Da Qin. "

Ying Zichu's words finally dispelled the last trace of worry in King Qin's heart, and he waved his hand: "Very well, then send [-] troops to regain the homeland of Xihe!"

Half an hour later, Ying Zichu returned to his Prince's Mansion and had someone call Lu Buwei into the study.

Ying Zichu got straight to the point: "Mr. Lu, in today's court meeting, I did not follow your words to insist on peace, but chose to support Xihe County of Zhao State in sending troops."

Lu Buwei was taken aback, and said: "Why is the prince like this?"

Ying Zichu took a deep breath and said lightly: "Mr. Lu, I can understand your stability, but today's Daqin needs a victory to boost the morale of the army and the people, do you understand?

There are very few opportunities for Zhao Kuo not to lead the army. If you miss this time, you don't know what year it will be.

So sorry Mr. Lu, next time I will follow your advice. "

After a while, Lu Buwei came out of Ying Zichu's study with some irony.

Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, if you know that the Qin people sent troops to attack Zhao because they were afraid of you, what kind of feelings do you have in your heart?

I hope Mr. Wu Xin won't blame me, Lu Buwei, for not being able to get things done.

Speaking of which, Ying Zichu has indeed been less obedient to control recently.

Lu Buwei used to say ten sentences and listen to ten sentences, but now he can listen to five or six sentences after speaking ten sentences, which is not bad.

Otherwise, after Ying Zichu ascended the throne, think of a way to poison him to death?

Anyway, Zhao Ji gave birth to another son to Ying Zichu not long ago.

If Yingzi Chu died after ascending the throne, and the infant son succeeded to the throne, wouldn't the military and political power of Qin State be in the hands of Lu Buwei?

Lu Buwei's eyes flickered, and a bold idea quietly took shape in his heart.

But after a while, Lu Buwei sighed in disappointment again.

King Qin is not dead, everything is empty talk!

Chapter 627 Zhao Kuo returned to Handan, the dispute in the court

Looking at the outline of Handan City gradually revealed in the distance, Zhao Kuo in the carriage couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

After nearly a year, Ben Hou is back again!Xu Li was standing beside Zhao Kuo, his eyes were very complicated, and after a while he said: "When I left last year, I really never thought that I would be able to come back so soon. The lord is indeed a promise."

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly and said, "If it wasn't because of the urgency, the Marquis would really like to stay in the north for a few more months."

Xu Li frowned slightly, and said: "This time there is no triumphant ceremony for returning to the city, I am really not used to it."

Zhao Kuo spread his hands and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter, hasn't it already been held in Datong City?

And what can last is nothing more than fields, cloth, land, food towns and the like. "

Zhao Kuo's tone was relaxed, and he took it for granted that many people might not be able to obtain the rewards in their lifetime.

No way, who made Zhao Kuo really have the qualifications to ignore these things now?

At this moment, Zhao Kuo suddenly understood the meaning of the famous saying "I don't like making money, money is just a number to me" by the later Hangzhou President Ma.

Invincibility is also a kind of loneliness!Although very anxious, Zhao Kuo returned to the mansion first, and then submitted the memorial to enter the palace, waiting for the queen mother to summon him.

As soon as he stepped off the carriage, a group of children rushed forward, and their father and father kept yelling.

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly and hugged them one by one.

I have to say that this kind of feeling of children wrapping around their knees is actually quite good.

When Zhao Kuo put down the child, he looked at Tian Wan and Qiu'er who were coming up, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Although the two women still had gentle smiles on their faces, there was a somewhat strange expression in their eyes.

Zhao Kuo had seen this look on the face of Yiquwei in Datong City not long ago!Women, especially women who have been separated from their husbands for a year, what are they longing for?

The answer is actually quite obvious.

For some reason, Zhao Kuo suddenly felt his legs go weak.

It's bound to be a sleepless night!The next morning, the envoy sent by the Queen Mother of Zhao arrived: "Wu Xinjun, the Queen Mother ordered you to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting!"

Zhao Kuo coughed heavily, and got into the carriage with weak legs.

Before leaving, the red-faced Tian Wan did not forget to give Zhao Kuo a charming look: "Your Majesty, remember to come back early today!"

At this moment, Zhao Kuo deeply experienced, what is sex is a bone-scraping steel knife!Entering the long-lost palace city, Zhao Kuo had just stepped off the carriage when he heard a voice calling in front of him: "Mr. Wu Xin!"

Zhao Kuo looked up and found that it was his ally Pang Nuan, and immediately smiled: "Pang Qing!"

The two walked side by side on the steps.

Pang Nuan said with some displeasure: "The queen mother sent the old man to Yan country last time, it should be deliberate, just to target us!"

Zhao Kuo nodded, and said softly: "It is a very stupid decision to start a war against Wei this time. Pang Qing will help me prevent this war."

Pang Nuan was a little surprised, and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult.

With all due respect to the old man, we are in the current situation. With Lord Pingyuan and Lord Xin acting as a hindrance, the Empress Dowager may not listen to us. "

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Actually, I also know, but things always do things and don't do things. If they don't do it because they are afraid of Lord Pingyuan and Lord Xin, then what is the difference between this Marquis and them?" Woolen cloth?

Let's go. "

Pang Nuan took a deep breath, and suddenly said to Zhao Kuo seriously: "What Wu Xinjun said is very true, the old man has been taught."

The two entered the hall, and after a while, several other people also arrived.

When everyone entered the hall, their gazes inevitably fell on Zhao Kuo, and everyone greeted Zhao Kuo with a smile, saying nothing more than Wu Xinjun's hard work guarding the frontier. How much sincerity is contained in it, God knows.

After a while, the queen mother also brought Zhao Wang to the scene.

Zhao Kuo glanced at King Zhao, and found that this young King Zhao had developed a lot faster since he entered puberty. He was still a little boy a few years ago, but now he is only a head shorter than Zhao Kuo.

It's just that Zhao Wang's eyes were a little strange, which made Zhao Kuo feel a string in his heart.

After the ceremony of the emperor and ministers, the court meeting officially began.

The queen mother said calmly: "This court meeting is mainly to listen to Wu Xinjun's views on the battle against Wei.

Wu Xinjun, tell me. "

Zhao Kuo was prepared, and immediately said: "Queen Mother, my minister's opinion is very simple, Da Zhao can attack other countries, but attacking Wei is an out-and-out bad idea.

Therefore, I ask the Queen Mother to send an order immediately to let Da Sima Lecheng withdraw his troops! "

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, King Zhao frowned.

For the young King Zhao, this feeling of being questioned by his courtiers was very uncomfortable even though it was King Zhao's mother who made the decision to attack Wei instead of King Zhao himself.

This is simply challenging the authority of the king!The Queen Mother was much more indifferent, and said calmly: "Tell me your reason, Mr. Wu Xin."

Zhao Kuo said: "Da Zhao's current policy should be to constantly weaken the surrounding countries, but at the same time hold them back so that they don't get too weak.

Therefore, Da Zhao should attack Yan, Qi, Qin and even Chu, which are still very vast countries, and cut their flesh with a knife.

As long as these countries are weakened to a certain extent, when the six of them together can't beat Da Zhao, it will be a good opportunity for Da Zhao to really launch the war of subjugation! "

Zhao Kuo said this very sincerely.

The Qin State in history was unified in this way. Although this road is longer, it is also more solid and more able to guarantee the final victory.

Although Zhao Kuo's words were sincere, he still immediately faced opposition.

Lin Xiangru opened his mouth and said, "The words of Mr. Wu Xin, I think it's inappropriate.

If you keep attacking other countries, won't you force other countries to form an alliance to attack Dazhao?

Instead, they killed them one by one, which made them powerless to fight back!It's not that Zhao didn't destroy other countries back then. Didn't he annex Zhongshan when he was King Wuling?

The current state of Wei is almost as weak as that of Zhongshan back then, so it is absolutely feasible to destroy the state of Wei. "

As an ally of Le Cheng, Lin Xiangru stood up as a matter of course and expressed his firm opposition to Zhao Kuo's words.

Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru and shook his head slightly.

"Xinjun, what you said sounds quite reasonable, but if you really do what you want, then the siege of Handan by the Six Kingdoms may happen soon!"

Chapter 628 How Did Such Words Come From Your Mouth?

Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru and talked eloquently.

"Now, let me analyze the other five countries besides Da Zhao and Wei.

First of all, even the kings of Qin and Qi were captured by our great Zhao, and the ginseng industry of Yan was also controlled by us. These three countries hold grudges against us, there is no doubt about it.

The second is South Korea. South Korea was originally the weakest country among the Seven Heroes. What this country has always been good at is being a fool.

So if other countries attack Da Zhao together, South Korea will definitely stand on the opposite side of Da Zhao immediately. "
