Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

A voice suddenly came: "Mr. Pingyuan, don't put pressure on these guards."

An old man came out from the side door of the palace. His face had obvious wrinkles, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken into his cheeks.

Mr. Pingyuan looked at the old man, frowned and said, "Eunuch Order, Your Majesty hastily called me into the palace in the middle of the night but there was no one there. What happened?"

As Zhao Wang's uncle and Zhao Guo Xiangbang, only Lord Pingyuan can question Zhao Guo's "chief internal officer" eunuch Ling Miao Xian in this way.

Miao Xian sighed, and said: "Your Majesty is in poor health, I order Mr. Pingyuan to preside over the discussion today."

After a pause, Miao Xian's eyes suddenly fell on Zhao Kuo, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty also said that if it involves military affairs, the opinion of Zhao Kuo Da Sima will be the main one."

When Miao Xian said these two words, everyone present was shocked.

Yu Xin was the first to stand up in disbelief, and shouted: "What's going on, the eunuch ordered you to explain the matter clearly!"

Miao Xian looked at Yu Xin blankly. This time, the veteran of the two dynasties who had served as eunuch order since the time of King Zhao Hui, the last king of Zhao State, and was extremely trusted by two generations of King Zhao, this time a rare expression appeared on his face. angry look.

"If Yu Qing wants to know, just look at this battle report."

A bamboo slip battle report was thrown in front of Yu Xin.

Yu Xin frantically picked up the bamboo slips, and after opening them, his whole body shook violently, and he cried out in disbelief.

"General Lian Po lost?"

Chapter 62

Yu Xin's words immediately shocked the whole hall.

Lin Xiangru stood up suddenly: "General Lian Po lost?

This is impossible!How is General Lian Po doing now? "

Lin Xiangru and Lian Po have been friends for many years since Lin Xiangru pleaded guilty, and he has the best relationship with Lian Po among all the people present.

Yu Xin's face was extremely pale, and even the hand holding the bamboo slips trembled involuntarily. His previous self-confidence and composure had completely disappeared, replaced by a loss of what to do.

Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang on the other side were also shocked. Although they were indeed not from the same faction as Lian Po, they never thought that Lian Po would actually fail.

The only person who did not lose his composure was Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo had nothing but disappointment in his heart.

Sure enough, although Lian Po was well-known, he was still much worse than Bai Qi.

After all, Bai Qi is the number one invincible general in the Warring States Period in history, an existence that is invincible in every battle.

It's just that, Zhao Guo's [-] soldiers don't know how much they will lose after such a big defeat.

Zhao Kuo asked lightly, "How much was the battle damage?"

Yu Xin glanced at Zhao Kuo, his facial muscles trembled, and finally said: "At least one hundred thousand."

An unspeakable atmosphere filled the hall.

The Allied Forces of the Six Nations, 30 troops pressed towards Qin, but Bai Qi led 15 Qin troops to fight back directly, and lost [-] lives.

Zhao Kuo shook his head and sighed: "I've already said it, you shouldn't underestimate Qi Qi."

No one spoke, but everyone in the hall remembered that in the meeting a few days ago, Zhao Kuo had indeed reminded everyone in person that Bai Qi might win by surprise.

Zhao Kuo's prophecy has now come true!Yu Xin's body was suddenly trembling.

Zhao Kuo glanced at Yu Xin, and said lightly: "Yu Qing, do you still remember what you said a few days ago and just under the steps?

Now, what else do you have to say? "

Yu Xin stayed where he was, his whole face was hot, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground and get into it.

Originally, Yu Xin felt that Lian Po was sure to win, so he did not hesitate to confront Zhao Kuo directly, just wanting to use Lian Po's victory to suppress Zhao Kuo, and by the way, let the momentum of the scholar faction revive.

But now that Lian Po has lost, everything Yu Xin did and said before has become a joke.

What a complete joke!Zhao Kuo looked at Yu Xin and said coldly: "You think I reminded you that General Lian Po might lose because I want to argue with you?

I just don't want those [-] Zhao soldiers to die in battle because of the negligence of the generals!I even sent someone to the front to deliver a letter to General Lian Po, just to avoid the current defeat as much as possible.

But what about you?

You only have power in your heart, only what kind of faction, and you have never thought about the lives of those [-] innocent soldiers. Do you think this is fair?

Yu Xin, it was your stupidity that killed these soldiers of Great Zhao! "

"Enough, don't say more!"

Yu Xin yelled and glared at Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo, what right do you have to talk about me?

Don't you rely on your father to get in the position?" "Crack! "

A loud slap sounded, and Yu Xin staggered back covering his cheeks, looking at Zhao Kuo in disbelief: "You, how dare you hit me?"

Zhao Kuo withdrew his right hand and said coldly, "Of course I dare to hit you.

My father, Zhao She, made countless military exploits for the State of Zhao and wiped out [-] Qin troops before he was awarded the title of Lord Ma Fu.

I, Zhao Kuo, annihilated 30 Qin troops in the Battle of Changping, which is the best record since the establishment of Zhao Guo.

what about you?

Yu Xin, you are just a lucky villain who relied on pleasing the king, and you have not made any achievements so far. What right do you have to criticize my father and me in front of me?

Your stupidity has cost the lives of so many soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom, let alone beating you, even killing you today will not appease the wrath of those [-] coalition soldiers who died in vain! "

There was an undisguised murderous intent in Zhao Kuo's gaze, and Yu Xin clearly felt Zhao Kuo's murderous intent, and backed away in shock: "You, what do you want to do?

You don't come here! "

"enough!"

With a bang, Mr. Pingyuan on the side finally couldn't help but patted the table: "They are all important ministers of Da Zhao, how can they be so noisy! Zhao Qing, please sit down for me! Yu Qing, calm down too, don't Such a gaffe!"

Zhao Kuo let out a hey and sat down slowly.

Slapping it first is a warm-up, and you will still have good fruit to eat when it comes to the meeting.

Yu Xin's face was deep, and he looked at Zhao Kuo with fear, and after thinking about it, he simply sat down at the place farthest from Zhao Kuo.

Lord Pingyuan looked at the eunuch Ling Miao Xian who had been silent at the side all the time, and said in a deep voice, "Eunuch Ling, tell us what happened to your majesty?"

Miao Xian's facial muscles twitched slightly, and finally said with some helplessness: "Your Majesty vomited blood after hearing the battle report. He just woke up not long ago and is still resting."

"what?"

Everyone was surprised.

We all know that Zhao Wang will definitely not be in a good mood after hearing this battle report, but he never thought that he would be so angry that he vomited blood?

Mr. Pingyuan also took a deep breath, and couldn't help but said, "Why is this so?"

Everyone also had doubts on their faces.

In fact, Zhao Guo had lost battles before, and there were also losses of 10. Now the number of Zhao Guo's troops is only a part of the [-] people, and the calculation is actually similar to the previous defeats.

So how did this defeat similar to the previous one make King Zhao so angry that he vomited blood?

Everyone looked at Miao Xian, Miao Xian also had a strange expression on his face, but he didn't speak.

Miao Xian held back for a long time, and only said one sentence: "Please discuss the countermeasures quickly."

Seeing Miao Xian's expression, Mr. Pingyuan seemed to understand something, so he stopped asking, but turned his head and said, "Misters, let's discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible, so that the king can recover from his illness with peace of mind."

Naturally, everyone could only nod their heads.

Mr. Pingyuan coughed and looked at Zhao Kuo: "General Zhao Kuo, what's your opinion?"

Originally, everyone thought that Lian Po made a move, and Zhao Kuo was dispensable.

But now everyone knows it was wrong.

Lian Po can't fight for nothing, only Zhao Kuo is the man who can really save everything!

Chapter 63 General Zhao Kuo

Seeing everyone's eyes cast over, Zhao Kuo was also a little speechless.

If you had listened to me earlier, or let me lead the army, things would have turned out like this?

But Zhao Kuo also knew that he should really find a way now, otherwise, if this situation continues, more Zhao soldiers will die in battle, and Qin will regain its strength, which will be troublesome.

If there is another Changping-level battle with Bai, Zhao Kuo feels that his chances of winning are only [-]% to [-]%, which is not safe.

The Qin people must not be allowed to continue like this!Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice: "There are mainly a few problems now.

First of all, we need to make sure that there are still a few countries willing to follow us to resist Qin after the defeat! "

Mr. Pingyuan's cheeks twitched slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "Do you want to continue beating?"

The expressions on other people's faces are also the same. They have already lost, should they continue?

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "Before we wanted to fight, the people of Qin had to fight.

Now Qin Guo wants to fight, we have to fight!If we just give up like this, the Qin people will make a comeback again.

At that time, we still have to fight the same. Instead of facing the more powerful Qin State at that time, it is better to suppress it again while Qin State has just risen and has not yet reached its heyday! "

Mr. Pingyuan nodded to show his understanding, and asked again: "In other countries, I will send someone to confirm it as soon as possible, but the journey is far away, and it will definitely not be possible to confirm these within half a month.

How are we going to deal with it during this period? "

Zhao Kuo had clearly thought about it a long time ago, and said immediately: "If my expectations are not bad, the Qin people will definitely continue to attack South Korea after they win in Yiyang City, because South Korea is the closest to Yiyang, and it is also the weakest of the six-nation coalition forces. s country.

Therefore, on the one hand, we need to dispatch troops to prepare to support South Korea, and on the other hand, we also need people to tell General Lian Po to take the soldiers and horses in his hands and hold the position with the Koreans, so that the Qin people have nothing to take advantage of. opportunity. "

Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao also said at this time: "Zhao Qing, do you think the Qin people will attack Shangdang again?"

Zhao Kuo paused for a moment, and said, "It's not impossible, but I feel that King Qin probably won't do this.

He just lost 30 soldiers and horses in Changping last year. Although he won in Yiyang now, Yiyang is not under my command.

The King of Qin would not have dared to attack Shangdang again until he was sure of defeating me. "

These words sounded a little boastful, but everyone present, even Yu Xin, had no opinion.

Because this is the truth.

If you can't defeat Zhao Kuo, you can't defeat Zhao Guo!Lord Pingyang nodded and said: "Understood.

So how much troops does Zhao Qing think it takes to defeat the people of Qin? "

Zhao Kuo said sternly: "The more the better, in the current situation, at least another 15 troops must be organized to defeat the Qin people!"

Everyone's complexion changed slightly.

Lin Xiangru couldn't help but said: "Zhao Qing, to tell you the truth, last year's Changping War almost emptied the national treasury, and this year another 15 troops were organized for General Lian Po. If there is another [-], the treasury will not be able to support it." stay."

As an internal history, Lin Xiangru is equivalent to the Minister of the Household Department of later generations, and he has always been in charge of the treasury finances.

Zhao Kuo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just want to come up with ideas, the treasury is not something I can worry about."

Mr. Pingyuan frowned and said, "Does it have to be as much as 15?

If the old man remembers correctly, although the coalition army was wiped out by 20, there are still almost 15 soldiers and horses left, which is more than the [-] in Bai Qi's hands. "

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "Although there are 20 left in the coalition army, they have already been defeated by Bai Qi, and Bai Qi is terrified at hearing the news, and it will be difficult to be Bai Qi's opponent again.

And as I said just now, how many of the 20 coalition troops will continue to fight side by side with us after the defeat in Yiyang City is completely indeterminate.

For the safest consideration, 15 soldiers and horses are exactly equal to Bai Qi, which is enough to ensure that the Qin people cannot continue to grow bigger. "

Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a moment, and said: "The old man knows.

After a while, the old man will go to ask the king for instructions and see what the king has to say. "

Although Lord Pingyuan presided over the discussion, of course King Zhao must nod to mobilize so many troops.

Mr. Pingyuan glanced at the crowd and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

No one spoke anymore, so Mr. Pingyuan waved his hand and said: "Then everyone wait here for a while, the old man will go to see the king first."

After speaking, Mr. Pingyuan stood up and headed towards the apse under the leadership of Miao Xian.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone had different thoughts and did not speak.

Especially Yu Xin, who seemed to have lost his soul, sat there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
