Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

As for Yan State, Yan State and Wei State are generally the weakest countries among all the vassals. As long as they hear that the army of Da Zhao has arrived, even if the general of the Yan Army wants to fight against Da Zhao, their soldiers will be useless. Morale is sure to lose.

As long as the queen mother can give the minister [-] side riders, plus the minister's [-] Chi You army, the minister will be able to quell this rebellion and return Da Zhao to a peaceful Donghu County! "

Chapter 659 Le Cheng's Second Setback

Zhao Kuo stood up and asked to lead the army.

This is actually what everyone expected. After all, there are only two people in Zhao Guo who are qualified to lead the army, Zhao Kuo and Le Cheng.

Le Cheng was also mentally prepared for this. Originally, Le Cheng was full of confidence, but after experiencing the setback just now, Le Cheng suddenly became a little uncertain.

Le Cheng took a deep breath, and stood up bravely: "Queen Mother, I am also willing to lead troops to Donghu to put down the rebellion!"

In any case, going to Donghu seems to be an excellent opportunity to gain military exploits, and Le Cheng will not give up until the last moment.

Pang Nuan said directly: "Empress Dowager, the old minister thought that the East Hu was pacified by Lord Wu Xin, and that Lord Wu Xin had a high prestige in the East Hu. If you can let Lord Wu Xin go, it must be more effective!"

Lin Xiangru frowned, but still said: "Queen Mother, the veteran thinks that Le Cheng Da Sima has rich experience in battle, and he has absolutely no problem dealing with Donghu and Yan people."

Zhou Shaofen naturally agreed with Lin Xiangru's suggestion.

For a while, the situation in the hall began to stalemate again.

The Queen Mother turned her gaze and landed on Mr. Pingyuan, feeling a little emotional.

This lord, obviously many people think that he is going to pass his breath, so how come he has become the referee who really decides the confrontation between the two powers today?

It seems that there is a good saying, never ignore the energy of an old politician.

The queen mother said lightly: "Mr. Pingyuan, what's your opinion?"

Le Cheng's eyes fell on Mr. Pingyuan, with hope in his heart.

Le Yu's life and death is actually not that important, as long as Le Cheng can lead the army and win a big victory, everything will be covered up.

As long as Mr. Pingyuan agrees.

Mr. Pingyuan stroked his beard that had already started to turn gray, and said calmly: "Queen Mother, I feel that Mr. Wu Xin conquered Donghu last year, and the people of Donghu are convinced of Mr. Wu Xin.

Now that the Donghu rebellion, we only need to let Wu Xinjun go, and the Donghu rebellion will end faster under the combination of grace and power! "

After Mr. Pingyuan's words fell, Le Cheng's heart suddenly fell into the abyss.

It’s over.

It's all over.

Le Cheng knew that he had lost this time.

Totally lost!Le Cheng couldn't believe it, and stared at Zhao Kuo.

What kind of treachery did this Zhao Kuo use!Zhao Kuo noticed Le Cheng's gaze, smiled slightly, and did not continue to pay attention to Le Cheng.

Today's situation was completely within Zhao Kuo's expectations.

Le Cheng has been suppressed by Zhao Kuo for too long. Once he gains power, he will inevitably counterattack frantically and start grabbing power.

At the beginning, everyone would think that Lecheng is a normal operation.

But as time passed and Le Cheng robbed more and more power, some people would inevitably be dissatisfied.

But until this time, because of the fear of Zhao Kuo, people like Lord Pingyuan would not really take any action against Le Cheng even if they were dissatisfied with Le Cheng.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo needs to become weaker!The dismissal of Chi Youjun was the signal that made everyone feel that "Wu Xinjun is already very weak".

After receiving this signal, Le Cheng was destined to meet Lord Ping Yuan's opposition.

To put it bluntly, Le Cheng was originally a tool used by Mr. Ping Yuan and others to deal with Zhao Kuo.

Now that Zhao Kuo has been successfully weakened, and the tool of Le Cheng wants to continue to misbehave, will Mr. Pingyuan agree?

Of course it is impossible.

This is where Le Cheng failed.

Politics has always been about interests. When your interests do not match those of others, others have no reason to support you, and may even abandon you instantly.

It's ridiculous that Le Cheng hasn't figured out this truth yet!The queen mother nodded slowly and said, "Very good.

Now that the votes of the ministers have ended, Lord Wu Xin will be the chief general, and after the beginning of spring, he will lead [-] cavalry to Donghu to suppress the rebellion.

Wu Xinjun, this time the old woman does not want to see those Donghu elders who incited the rebellion continue to live! "

To this, Zhao Kuo naturally agreed: "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I will definitely not let these Donghu elders go."

After a pause, Zhao Kuo continued to ask: "I still want to ask the Queen Mother, if Yan Guo sends troops to support the Donghu rebels, can I directly go to war against Yan Guo?"

This is a very necessary question.

Although the State of Yan is very weak, few people think that the State of Yan dares to go to war against the State of Zhao, but the decisions are all made by humans. Maybe the King of Yan suddenly lost his mind?

The Empress Dowager snorted heavily, and said, "Just because Yan Guo wants to start a war with Da Zhao?

If that's the case, you just beat them up! "

At this moment, the empress dowager showed a rare domineering look.

The arrogance of the ruler of the most powerful country in the world!The court meeting is over.

Zhao Kuo walked out of the hall and found that the wind and snow had calmed down a lot.

Pang Nuan walked beside Zhao Kuo, with a smile on his face, and said to Zhao Kuo, "Mr. Wu Xin, after suffering for so many days, we finally have endured to the end!"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and said to Pang Nuan, "Pang Qing, calm down, maybe such tricks will be performed in the future."

Pang Nuan was taken aback for a moment, then exaggeratedly patted his chest, and said with a smile: "If you come a few more times, I don't know if this old heart of this old man can bear it."

Zhao Kuo laughed: "It doesn't matter, every blow can't crush us, it will only make us stronger!"

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

On the other side, Le Cheng walked out of the hall dejectedly.

Seeing Le Cheng's appearance, Lin Xiangru couldn't help shaking his head.

When he wins, he is so arrogant that he wants to poke a hole in the sky, and after suffering a setback, his mentality immediately explodes. How can such a person survive in the political arena for a long time?

After all, he was still an ally, Lin Xiangru patted Le Cheng on the shoulder, and said warmly: "Mr. Wu Ding, this time's defeat is actually nothing, we just have to make persistent efforts next time."

In the main hall, the Queen Mother watched the ministers who were going away, and smiled slowly on her face: "My lord, do you understand?"

The young Zhao Wang was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said: "I also ask the queen mother to teach me."

The queen mother said lightly: "After this struggle, Le Cheng won the power, and Zhao Kuo won the right to lead the army.

But at the same time, Le Cheng lost the right to lead the army, and Zhao Kuo lost half of Chi You's army.

In the future, as the monarch of Dazhao, you must remember that every time your subjects fight with each other, you must find a way to weaken them at the same time.

As long as you keep weakening them, they won't be able to pose any threat to your monarchy. "

Only then did Wang Zhao come back to his senses, and he said in a sincerely convinced way: "The empress mother has a high opinion, Wang'er admires it!"

The queen mother smiled slightly. At this moment, she felt that the whole Zhao country and even the whole world were under control!

Chapter 660 Entering Donghu, the situation is a bit chaotic

Winter is long and long, and short and short.

Another year of spring has arrived.

Zhao Kuo led [-] Chiyou troops and set off to the north in mighty strength.

Since this time it was going to Donghu to suppress the rebellion, most of the troops were recruited in the north of Zhao State, not in Handan.

This time, Zhao Kuo mobilized a total of [-] cavalry from the Northern Frontier Cavalry Regiment, plus [-] "garrison troops" composed of Huns and Donghu tribes, and Zhao Kuo's own [-] Chi You Army, for a total of [-] troops. Thousand cavalry.

This number is actually not too much, but it is undoubtedly more than enough to quell the rebellion.

Half a month later, Zhao Kuo officially gathered all the troops and began to march towards Donghu County.

Soon, the army arrived in Donghu County and fought a rebellious tribe.

The [-] army almost wiped out this tribe with only a few thousand people without any effort.

Zhao Kuo stood up on his horse, calmly looked at the patriarch of the Donghu tribe who was kowtowing in a panic and shouting loudly, frowned and asked Li Mu beside him, "What is he talking about?"

Li Mu listened for a while, and said: "Return to the lord, he said that the reason why he surrendered to the elders of the Donghu tribe was because the elders were too powerful, and he didn't really want to betray Da Zhao.

Now that the lord has led Da Zhao Tianbing to kill him, he is willing to return to the lord's command and become Da Zhao's most loyal subject. "

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect there to be such a flattering person in Donghu, let's kill it."

Without any hesitation, Li Mu directly raised the crossbow in his hand.

With a whoosh, the Donghu patriarch fell to the ground and died instantly.

Zhao Kuo said indifferently: "The order will go on, and all the people in this tribe will be taken as spoils of war, and will be distributed to the meritorious soldiers of the garrison after the war."

Zhao Kuo's order was passed on, and there was a burst of cheers immediately.

The garrison was composed of Xiongnu and Donghu people who were loyal to Zhao. These nomads actually didn't care about ethnic issues at all, let alone raising the butcher's knife to these people who were still their own clan before.

The grassland is a very cruel place, and it is already extremely difficult to survive.

If you can make yourself live better, then it is considered to wipe out all other tribes of the same race, so what's the big deal?

Li Si, who followed Zhao Kuo, was obviously a little surprised: "Didn't the Lord be quite gentle during the last battle to conquer Donghu, why is he so strict this time?"

Zhao Kuo glanced at Li Si, feeling a little disappointed.

This Li Si, could it be that he has focused all his abilities on the political struggle, and he doesn't seem to have any understanding of governing the country at all?

Perhaps it would be better for Han Fei to be the sheriff of Donghu County, and maybe this time Zhao Kuo won the victory over Le Cheng not only because he won the right of general, but also by the way. brought it over.

After comprehensive consideration, Zhao Kuo decided to let Li Si take up this position.

Zhao Kuo said indifferently: "The barbarians are afraid of prestige and not virtuous.

Before this Marquis first eliminated their main force, let these Donghu people know the power of Zhao, and then used gentle means, so as to convince Donghu people.

It's a pity that Ben Hou's method was destroyed by that stupid brother of Le Cheng. The Donghu people in Donghu County have obviously turned against Da Zhao again.

Under such circumstances, Da Zhao had to use iron and blood to suppress Donghu again in order to make Donghu calm down again.

As for the next Huairou, that is the task of you, the sheriff, and has nothing to do with Benhou. "

Li Si suddenly realized, and said: "My lord is wise!"

Turning his head away, Li Si was secretly surprised.

Because of Zhao Kuo's words, someone had already told Li Si before departure.

The person who said this was Han Fei!Li Si was secretly surprised: "I didn't expect my junior brother to understand the Lord's mind to such an extent. It's really amazing!"

Thinking of this, Li Si became more and more afraid of Han Fei unconsciously.

Based on the current positions of Zhao Kuo's confidantes, Li Si feels that if Zhao Kuo seizes power, the first Xiangbang is likely to be Xu Li, and the second Xiangbang should be among Li Si and Han Fei.

A cold light gradually flashed in Han Feili's eyes.

I, Li Si, have worked so hard for so many years, isn't it just to reach the top of the court?

You, please don't block my way!The situation in Donghu County is not very good.

The elders of Donghu chose a very clever time to rebel. Because of the winter, the elders had three full months to sow discord among the various tribes in Donghu County, intending to make more tribes betray Zhao. country.

And they have indeed achieved this. Nearly fifty Donghu tribes have betrayed Zhao Guo and announced that they will return to the rule of the Donghu Presbyterian Church.

The irony is that most of these tribes who betrayed the state of Zhao came from the tribes adjusted by the previous governor of Donghu County, Le Yu, when he was in office. On the contrary, most of the chiefs of the Donghu tribe appointed by Zhao Kuo at the beginning did not rebel. Continue to insist on allegiance to Zhao Guo.

"Stupid, really stupid!"

Faced with such a situation, Zhao Kuo could only shake his head silently.

If Le Yu hadn't been playing around in Donghu County and was unpopular, Le Yu would have been able to drive the elders of Donghu out of Zhao State with ease, relying on the support of the hundreds of Donghu tribes in Donghu County. It is even possible to kill the elders of Donghu directly.

Originally, it was a great achievement delivered to the door, but Le Yu forced him to ruin his reputation. There is no one like this kind of pig teammate.

Zhao Kuo was silent for a while, then said lightly to Li Si beside him: "Li Si, you must learn from Le Yu's lesson.

If you also made such a stupid mistake as Le Yu in Donghu County, this Marquis will not protect you. "

Although Li Si is famous in history, history is history and reality is reality.
