Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Kuo said to Zhou Shaofen indifferently: "Is this really true?"

Zhou Shaofen laughed loudly, and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, oh, Mr. Wu Xin, I'm not a fool. If I betray you, wouldn't I have to follow Le Cheng's footsteps again?"

Zhao Kuo also smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Actually, I have always been very friendly to those friends."

Zhou Shaofen smiled, and stretched out his hand towards Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, we are still friends from now on. If you have anything to say, just say a word, and I, Zhou Shaofen, will definitely follow orders."

Zhao Kuo smiled, and said: "Actually, there is nothing important, but if possible, I still hope that Zhou Qing can cooperate with me to defeat Lord Pingyang.

Before that, it's better not to expose the relationship between the two of us. "

Zhou Shaofen nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, I think so too.

After all, everyone knows the purpose of the king's promotion of me. If the king knows that I am actually on your side, it is absolutely impossible for the king to continue to tolerate me. "

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Naturally, it should be so. After all, it is a huge benefit for our power that your two brothers and two important ministers of Zhao Guo can now be in court."

Zhou Shaofen nodded and said with a smile: "From now on, it should be possible to sit and drink with Wu Xinjun in an open and aboveboard manner."

Zhao Kuo was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately came back to his senses.

Since the current trend of three-legged confrontation has been established, Zhou Shaofen can appear with a neutral attitude, so it is undoubtedly very reasonable for Zhao Kuo to invite Zhou Shaofen to drink in the name of wooing him.

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, and said to Zhou Shaofen: "Very good, we will drink it in a few days until we are happy!"

The two carriages gathered together in the darkness, and then quietly dispersed in the darkness.

Zhao Kuo's expression was very happy, and he even wanted to laugh out loud while sitting in the carriage.

For Zhao Kuo, it was confirmed that Zhou Shaofen was still on his side, which can be said to be a very important event.

In this way, among the seven important ministers of Zhao Guo, there are four people who stand on Zhao Kuo's side alone, and Lord Pingyang can only win the share of three people at most.

Since then, Zhao Kuo has actually become the most powerful faction in the entire political arena of Zhao State.

Before launching this action, Zhao Kuo was just one of the three giants of Zhao Guo, and it can be said that the current status of the thriving leader group is different.

Not only that, but the queen mother who has always been very afraid of Zhao Kuo has now lost the right to rule Zhao, and is replaced by the young and ambitious King Zhao.

Although Zhao Wang may impose some restrictions on Zhao Kuo due to the influence of the Queen Mother, Zhao Kuo feels that as long as Zhao Wang still wants to expand abroad and conquer other countries to prove himself, then Zhao Wang has no choice but to Zhao Kuo's must be reused and supported.

This wave, this wave is the real spring.

With such a happy mood, Zhao Kuo returned to the mansion, and just got off the carriage when he saw his wife Tian Wan.

Tian Wan smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "My husband has been away for so long, there must be some good news?"

Zhao Kuo laughed loudly, hugged Tian Wan directly, and whispered in Tian Wan's ear, "It's indeed good news. From now on, in the political arena of Da Zhao, your husband's enemies will no longer have any enemies." Strength! Well, let’s not talk about anything else tonight, let’s work hard and strive to have a few more sons!”

Amidst Tian Wanqiao's blushing and coquettish voice, Zhao Kuo strode towards his bedroom.

Jun Pingyang returned to the mansion with a smile on his face as well.

For Mr. Pingyang, being able to serve as Zhao Guoxiangbang is undoubtedly the most glorious moment in his life.

After thinking about it, Jun Pingyang began to talk to himself again: "It would be great if Zhao Kuo could be eliminated as well. It's a pity."

For Lord Pingyang, since the others have fallen, Zhao Kuo has become the number one political enemy of Lord Pingyang now.

Once Zhao Kuo could be eliminated, wouldn't Mr. Pingyang feel that it would be easy for him to hold the young King Zhao apart?

By that time, Lord Pingyang will be the real monopoly.

Thinking of this, Mr. Pingyang secretly made a decision in his heart. It seems that in a few days, Zhou Shaofen must be invited to have a good drink.

Lord Pingyang is also very clear that after this coup, Zhao Kuo's position is actually as stable as Lord Pingyang.

If Mr. Pingyang wants to defeat Zhao Kuo, he must seek foreign aid, and that is Zhou Shaofen's support.

But even so, Pingyang Jun's heart is still full of hope.

In the previous political struggles of Zhao State, Lord Pingyang was always just a pawn, and the real chess player was his elder brother Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng.

But now Lord Pingyang finally got his wish and became a member of the chess players in the political arena of Zhao State.

If you want to be a chess player, you must put in more energy and face greater challenges, but Mr. Pingyuan likes it very much.

Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, just wait, you don't really think that after defeating my brother and Lin Xiangru, no one can be your opponent anymore, right?

I tell you, I will definitely knock you down!For the young Zhao Wang, all this is even more gratifying.

Finally, without his mother pointing and pointing, without anyone's restraint, the young Zhao Wang can completely rule the country with his own will, and make the country stronger and stronger according to his own destiny.

Zhao Wang is very sure that the time to sweep the six kingdoms and unify the world is close at hand, and he will become the first emperor in history to create a unified dynasty.

For Handan City and Zhao State, this day is destined to make many people happy and happy, and at the same time, it will also make many people feel frightened, disturbed and lost.

Everyone knows that the political order of Zhao State has completely undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment. From now on, the leaders of Zhao State have completely changed a group of new people. Where will this big ship go, and what kind of performance will it make?

At least at this moment, no one dares to guarantee it, and no one can give a definite answer.

Chapter 717 Qin Chu's Decision

There was such a huge turmoil in the country of Zhao, and the news naturally spread out at a flying speed, reaching the ears of the monarchs of other countries.

After King Qin heard the news, he immediately called a meeting in the main hall of Xianyang Palace to discuss this matter.

King Qin said, "Everyone, there is a sudden internal turmoil in the country of Zhao itself.

The original Xiangbang Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, Xinjun Lin Xiangru, and Wu Dingjun Le Cheng have all been imprisoned, and even the Queen Mother Zhao has been deprived of her right to rule and placed under house arrest in the palace.

Tell me, is there any opportunity that Daqin can take advantage of? "

This kind of political struggle is actually no stranger to the Qin State. King Qin’s father, King Qin Zhaoxiang, had a game with his biological mother, the Queen Mother Xuan, and finally put the Queen Mother under house arrest in the palace. It can be said that the method is almost the same as that of the Zhao State. Exactly the same.

King Qin doesn't want to comment on the things about his father and grandma here, he just wants to know whether Qin State can get some benefits from this matter, or is it a way to weaken Zhao State.

As soon as King Qin's words fell, Fan Sui said happily: "Your Majesty, the internal turmoil in the Zhao Kingdom this time is precisely because of the wise decision made by the King before, which boosted the separatist sentiment in the Zhao Kingdom itself.

It is foreseeable that Zhao Guo will inevitably lose its strength again after this internal turmoil, so the opportunity for Daqin to weaken or even directly defeat Zhao Guo is already close at hand. "

After Fan Sui finished speaking, King Qin suddenly showed a smile on his face.

For King Qin, if Zhao Guo can really be weakened, that would definitely be the best news.

On the other side, Prince Qin Yingzi Chu was also quite happy, and said to King Qin: "Father, I feel that maybe it's time for Great Qin to unite with other countries to see if we can organize an alliance against Zhao. Then, taking advantage of Zhao's civil strife to launch an attack on Zhao, maybe it can completely weaken Zhao and pull Zhao from the position of the overlord."

As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him, and now that there is such a big dispute in the country of Zhao, the ministers of the country of Qin are naturally not stupid, and they all want to take advantage of the possibility of this situation in the country of Zhao. The weak opportunity stabbed Zhao Guo's heart fiercely.

King Qin nodded and laughed: "That's very good, very good.

Then we will immediately pass down the order and send envoys to other countries to see if we can unite with them.

I believe that there must be other countries that will see this opportunity and choose to join forces with the widow and Daqin to weaken Zhao! "

While King Qin was making a decision, discussions were also taking place in the Palace of Chu.

The king of Chu said, "Everyone, now that there is a sudden civil strife in the country of Zhao, what do you think of this matter?

Can Da Chu take advantage of this matter to gain some benefits that will make Da Chu stronger? "

Today's Zhao State also borders Chu State, so although Chu State is an ally of Zhao State on the surface, the fear of Zhao State has never been reduced in his heart.

The predecessor of Zhao State was Jin State. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin State had been suppressing Chu State for a long time, which made it difficult for Chu State to dominate the Central Plains. It can be faded away.

As soon as King Chu’s words fell, Grand Sima Jingyang of the Chu State immediately stood up and said, “Return to the King, the old minister thinks that at this time, the Great Chu should stand up and look for other princes to see if there is any possibility of forming an opposition group.” Zhao's alliance.

If the six countries can form an alliance against Zhao, then attacking Zhao, which is now in a weak period, must be very likely to win.

As long as the victory can be achieved, then even if Zhao cannot be directly destroyed, at least it will deal a heavy blow to Zhao's national power, making it impossible for Zhao to maintain its status as a hegemon.

In this way, there will be one less powerful enemy in the north of Great Chu, so there is hope for the revival of Great Chu! "

When the King of Chu heard this, his eyes were full of hope, and he said, "The proposal of Da Sima sounds very good."

The State of Chu is an ambitious country. All the kings of Chu in the past have always been thinking of expanding to the north and annexing the Central Plains. This King of Chu is no exception.

But within a few seconds of Da Sima Jingyang's words, another person stood up and objected.

Needless to say, this person is naturally Huang Xie, Lingyin Chunshenjun of the Chu Kingdom.

I saw Jun Shen said: "Your Majesty, what Da Sima said seems to make sense, but I think we should think about it in the long run.

You must know that the political faction that Zhao Guo won this time is Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, which means that if Zhao Kuo is dealing with Zhao Guo's enemies, he will definitely be able to lead the army and win a bigger victory in Zhao Guo. support.

In the past few years, Zhao Kuo has already achieved such shocking results even though he has been restrained by Zhao Guo's own people internally. Once he has the full support of Zhao Guo's internal staff this time, then the strength of Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is I can't imagine it at all!Therefore, the veteran thinks that this time is really not suitable for fighting Zhao Guo, but should go to wait for another opportunity, at least wait for the time when Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is suppressed in the internal political struggle, that is the best time for Dachu It's a good opportunity to send troops. "

From Chun Shenjun's attitude, he has always been relatively close to Zhao Kuo. Of course, as the Chu State Commander, Chun Shenjun must also consider the interests of Chu State.

Therefore, knowing Zhao Kuo so well, Lord Chunshen did not approve of sending troops, because he knew that Zhao Kuo was too strong.

Jingyang was immediately unhappy when he heard this, and sneered at Chunshenjun, "Chunshenjun, don't think that everyone doesn't know about the relationship between you and Zhao Kuo, the two of you are basically business partners, so you have always It was to help him speak.

But right now it is about the national interests of Da Chu, you can't sell the national interests of Da Chu just because of your money, right? "

Chunshen Jun was furious when he heard the words, and shouted at Jingyang: "Jingyang, don't spout blood here, the old man has always been loyal to Da Chu, when did he say that he would betray Da Chu's interests?

Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo has been victorious in every battle since his debut. If you so rashly persuaded the king to fight against Wu Xinjun, wouldn't you let the soldiers of Dachu die? "

Jingyang sneered, not to be outdone, and said: "Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is indeed very strong, but once the six countries can unite, can Zhao Kuo alone lead Zhao to defeat six other princes?

It's a joke! "

The two had a very fierce quarrel and insisted on their own opinions, but they couldn't get any results.

However, at this time, the King of Chu was obviously moved, and said directly: "Okay, there is no need to say any more, first send envoys to visit various countries, and see how the attitudes of the monarchs of various countries are.

If the monarchs of all countries want to weaken Zhao, then we can have a good talk about some things! "

Obviously, the King of Chu still made a decision in the end, thinking that it was time to seriously consider weakening Zhao Guo!

Chapter 718 Qi Weiyan's decision

In the palace of Linzi, the capital of the Qi State, a meeting surrounding the judgment of the Qi State's monarchs and ministers on the Zhao State's situation is also in progress.

King Qi leaned on the couch, yawned lazily, and said to the ministers of Qi State in front of him: "If you have any opinions on what happened in Zhao State's political arena these days, you might as well say it. Speak."

As soon as King Qi's words fell, Sheng Sheng, who was helping Qi Guo, couldn't wait to say: "Your Majesty, this time may be an opportunity to weaken Zhao Guo.

The domestic turmoil in Zhao is a very rare event, and it immediately involved the two giants of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng and Xinjun Lin Xiangru.

These two giants have established connections in Zhao Guozhong for decades, and their influence is deeply ingrained, and it is bound to be difficult to eliminate it for a while.

So even if Zhao Kuo and others won, it would still take a period of time for them to completely take over the entire Zhao country.

Da Qi can just use this time to unite with other princes to launch an attack on Zhao Guo. If it can be successful, then it is very likely that Zhao Guo will no longer be the confidant of our Qi State. "

The relationship between Hou Sheng and Zhao Kuo was actually good before. After all, there was a relationship between the two parties in the arms smuggling and ginseng business. After the relationship turned bad, Hou Sheng now can't wait to kill Zhao Kuo directly to express his hatred.

Although the King of Qi was a little moved after hearing Hou Sheng's words, he did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he turned his attention to Kuang Liang, the Grand Sima of the State of Qi, and said to Kuang Liang, "Grand Sima, what's your opinion this time?" ?"

Kuang Liang pondered for a while, then respectfully said to King Qin: "Your Majesty, I think we should wait and see for the time being, after all, it is Wu Xinjun and Zhao Kuo who won the power this time.

If this person is a leader, it is indeed very difficult to defeat, so I think we should find a way to drive a wedge between Zhao Kuo and other people. .

In this case, it is the best time for Da Qi to launch a counterattack against Zhao Guo. "

As a general who had directly fought against Zhao Kuo, Kuang Liang was very afraid of Zhao Kuo.

This is not to say that Guangliang is not confident enough, but because Zhao Kuo is really too strong.

To use an analogy, it is like a primary school student playing basketball heads-up with a college student. If the primary school student hits 100 balls, one of them may score, but such hope is too slim.

After all, Qi's national strength is simply not enough to support the hope of winning 100 defeats against Zhao.

When Hou Sheng heard it, he was immediately unhappy, and said: "What Da Sima said is really too long for other people's ambition to destroy our Da Qi's own prestige, right?

After all, Daqi is also one of the richest countries in the East among the Seven Heroes, and it is not that we have not defeated Zhao Guo in the past few years. Is it because of Zhao Kuo that we Daqi must swallow Zhao Kuo like this?

If it is spread like this, how will people in the world view our country of Qi, and how will the prestige of our country of Qi be spread out? "

Kuang Liang was speechless when he heard the words, thinking that your prestige does not come from your mouth, if you win the battle, you will have a prestige, if you can't win the battle, then what is the prestige at all?

It is better to be more realistic in life.

However, before Kuang Liang continued to speak, King Qi was obviously completely moved by Hou Sheng's persuasion, so he said, "Very good.

That being the case, then immediately send envoys to contact other princes.

See if there is any chance to make a surprise attack on Zhao Guo, or even defeat them, so that the widow can fulfill this wish. "

For King Qi, Zhao Guo's strength these years really made King Qin feel restless.

There is a very long border between Zhao State and Qi State, and in terms of territory, Zhao State's territory is the closest to Linzi, the capital of Qi State.
