Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

After a while, Mao Sui looked at Lu Buwei in disbelief: "Are you crazy?

Do you know what you're talking about? "

Lu Buwei said lightly: "Of course I know what I'm talking about."

Mao Sui grabbed Lu Buwei by the collar and said viciously, "Because King Qin is a wild dog by the side of the road, can you be poisoned to death casually?"

Lu Buwei pushed Mao Sui away calmly, and said, "Of course King Qin is not a wild dog on the side of the road, but you and I are not two fools either.

We have the public identity of the prince as a cover, and at the same time, we also have the support of Nightingale's Qin branch secretly. As long as we plan well, it is not difficult to do this. "

Mao Sui sneered, "Why would I do this?"

Lu Buwei said: "Because the Marquis has gone farther and farther, if you and I don't want to be abandoned by the Marquis, then we must make a lot of contributions to the Marquis, understand?"

Mao Sui snorted, and said: "We have also made a lot of contributions to the Marquis in Qin over the years. How can Qin's troubles be hidden from the Marquis and Da Zhao?"

Lu Buwei sighed, and felt that it was necessary to educate the elm head in front of him: "Mao Sui, let me ask you, do you know what Junhou's real ambition is?"

Mao Sui said without hesitation: "Of course it is to help Da Zhao rule the world!"

Lu Buwei said again: "After helping Great Zhao to rule the world?"

Mao Sui was suddenly at a loss for words.

Lu Buwei said lightly: "Don't you dare to say?

Let me tell you.

After dominating the world, Junhou will of course be enthroned as king! "

Undoubtedly, this was an extremely outrageous remark, which made Mao Sui lose his mind for a moment.

After a while, Mao Sui said, "So?"

Mao Sui's tone didn't seem surprised at all.

When Lu Buwei saw this, he was suddenly determined, and said: "So we must do something decent, otherwise, after the emperor ascends the throne in the future, where will there be a place for you and me in the court of Da Zhao?

In this place of Qin, do you think it is possible to do something big without taking risks? "

Mao Sui seemed to be moved by Lu Buwei's words, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "What's your plan?

Let me tell you, if this plan is not feasible, I will never pass it. "

Zhao Kuo didn't know that Mao Sui and Lu Buwei were actively discussing such a "meritorious service plan" in Xianyang. At this moment, Zhao Kuo was busy nervously, determining the deployment of Zhao's army.

After finalizing the whole plan, Zhao Kuo immediately entered the palace to meet King Zhao without the slightest hesitation.

Zhao Wang read Zhao Kuo's plan with great interest, and then he was a little puzzled: "Wu Xinjun, you only need [-] soldiers and horses this time, is it enough?"

With the annexation of the Monan Grassland, the number of Zhao's army, especially the number of cavalry, has increased tremendously.

Today's Zhao State can recruit about 30 conventional troops, of which there are as many as 22 cavalry and about [-] infantry.

Of course, Zhao Guo could easily break through the 50 barrier if he recruited all his troops, but right now he was only conquering a small Yan country, so naturally there was no need for that.

Even so, in Zhao Wang's view, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses seemed too little.

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said to Zhao Wang: "To tell you the truth, among the [-] soldiers and horses, there are [-] cavalrymen who will secretly attack from the grassland at that time, and only [-] soldiers and horses will be led by the ministers to set off from Handan. The vassal states will think that our Great Zhao really just wants to punish the Yan State this time."

This is diplomatic deceit.

Zhao Kuo knew very well that if the princes knew that Zhao State was planning to destroy Yan State, then the Six Nations would quickly unite to stop Zhao State's attempt. At that time, Zhao State would face multi-front combat and would be relatively passive.

Once Zhao Kuo destroyed the Yan State in the north, the princes came back to their senses and organized the Allied Forces of the Five Nations. At this time, the Zhao State only needed to defend the southern defense line, and even had the opportunity to defeat the five countries, and the situation would change. You have to be more proactive.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Kuo deliberately mobilized only a small number of soldiers and horses to confuse spies from other countries and even Yan.

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: "Soldiers are deceitful!"

After hearing this, King Zhao couldn't help but express his emotion: "Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, you really deserve to be the No. 1 general in the world. You can think of such a strategy. It really opened my eyes!"

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said to Zhao Wang: "If the king has no opinion, then I will follow this plan."

Zhao Wang subconsciously glanced at Pingyang Jun beside him.

Jun Pingyang's face was calm, and he didn't say a word.

As I said before, Lord Pingyang also needs a victory to consolidate Zhao's position as Xiangbang, which proves that Lord Pingyang is indeed capable of leading Zhao to victory.

A war of destroying the country is also of great benefit to Lord Pingyang's consolidation of power, so Lord Pingyang also held his nose and allowed Zhao Kuo to take the lead in this war.

Zhao Wang, Pingyang Jun, and Zhao Kuo, these are the three giants in Zhao Guo's political arena right now.

Now that the three giants have reached a unity, the order will naturally be issued immediately, and the war machine of the entire Zhao country has also begun to rumble.

On the other side, in the palace of Linzi City of Qi State, King Qi was caught in a tangle.

Looking at the dozens of large boxes full of gold, silver and jewels in front of him, King Qi also took a deep breath, and said to Hou Sheng in front of him, "Hou Xiang, where did you get so much money?"

Hou Sheng smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, it's really not the minister's money, but the money sent by the Zhao Guo envoy."

King Qi was stunned for a moment, then he understood: "The people of Zhao State want to attack Yan State, is this the price they use to persuade you?"

Hou Sheng nodded, and then said: "To tell you the truth, the envoy of Zhao Guo also said that as long as Yan Guo wins this time and controls the channel of Liaodong ginseng, Zhao Guo is willing to give out [-]% of Liaodong ginseng's profit, and We divide it!"

King Qi: "" I have to say, this is indeed an extremely generous condition.

Is King Qi short of money?

Originally, there was no lack of it. After all, Qi is a big country in the east, very rich and prosperous, with developed commerce and trade, and is full of taxes every year.

But all this changed with the last time Linzi was breached.

The Zhao people who broke Linzi ruthlessly removed all the valuables that could be removed from the palace of Qi, not to mention the gold, silver and jewels in the treasury, there was nothing left.

Not only the royal palace, but also the mansions of ministers of the Qi State like Hou Sheng did not escape the looting of the Zhao State people.

The result of Zhao people's ruthless search is that Qi is actually very rich now, but the king of Qi is very poor, and the later victory will be even poorer!Therefore, when such a large sum of money was placed in front of King Qi, King Qi felt very excited!

Chapter 743 Zhao Kuo went to the expedition, the monarch and ministers of Yan Kingdom were shocked

King Qi once thought that he was a person who was not short of money, but later he found out that he was wrong.

This kind of mistake was not because King Qi couldn't make money, but because a robber came to King Qi's house. This robber was called Zhao Kuo and robbed King Qi of all his money.

What King Qi never expected was that the robber actually sent back part of the stolen money. Although compared with the total amount stolen, the part sent back is completely insignificant, but as the saying goes, Having money is definitely better than having no money, no matter how much money there is or how little it is, it is the same reason.

King Qi's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he said to Hou Sheng with some difficulty: "Are you sure Zhao Guo really has no intention of destroying Yan Guo?"

Hou Sheng's expression was more unbearable than King Qi's, and he even had a bit of desire: "My lord, at least judging from the current situation, the State of Zhao really doesn't have any intention of destroying the State of Yan.

The last time it was Le Cheng who attacked Zhao Guo, this time it was Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo who sent troops. He is much smarter than Le Cheng. "

For a miser like Housheng, after Zhao Jun broke through Linzi last time, he took away all of Housheng's family property, which made Housheng a painful and serious illness.

Now that it is hard to see some of these family properties returning, it is absolutely impossible for Hou Sheng to say that he does not want to. To be able to dedicate these gold and silver treasures to King Qi is already an expression of Hou Sheng's incomparable loyalty to King Qi up.

King Qi nodded, took a deep breath, and said to Hou Sheng: "Since this is the case, then the matter is very simple.

Go see the envoy of Zhao State immediately and tell him that as long as Zhao State can fulfill the conditions, we Daqi will let them fight this war casually! "

King Qi is also a very straightforward person, as long as he has money, at least in this time period when King Qi has no money, it is definitely very easy to do things.

So in such a diplomatic game, Zhao Guo's progress was surprisingly smooth.

Qin State was first caught in a tangle, Chu State also stated that it would not participate in this battle, and Qi State directly and simply collected money to do things.

As for South Korea and Wei, these two countries are weak and small countries close to Zhao, and they have long been trembling with Zhao's prestige, so it is even more impossible to disobey Zhao's order.

After Zhao Kuo heard the news, he was also overjoyed, and said to King Zhao: "My lord, it's time to send troops to attack the country of Yan!"

So a few days later, Zhao Kuo knelt down on one knee, and under the witness of everyone, he took the soldier talisman from King Zhao.

Then Zhao Kuo stood up, walked down the steps with big strides, boarded his chariot, and issued orders loudly.

"Army attack!"

Unlike previous attacks, this time Zhao Kuo's attack was full of confidence.

This time, Zhao Kuo didn't need to worry about the constraints from within the Zhao State. He only needed to do one thing well, and that was to make things clear on the battlefield, and to knock down all the cities of Yan State one by one. In the end, the country of Yan was completely destroyed, so that the country of Zhao could continue to go south without any worries, and conquer the other five countries.

"This battle will be the beginning of Zhao Guo's unification of the world, and it will also be the beginning of Zhao Kuo's fulfillment of my personal mission!"

On the same day, Zhao Kuo led the 7 Zhao State Army to leave Handan in a mighty manner and began to go northward, heading in the direction of Yan State.

After learning the news, the king and ministers of the Yan Kingdom immediately lost their positions.

King Yan convened the meeting almost immediately, and Liushen said to the important officials of Yan State in front of him, "This is not good, that bastard Zhao Kuo has already called, please tell me what the widow should do." What to do?"

Faced with this question from the King of Yan, several important officials of the Yan State present showed embarrassed expressions on their faces.

No matter in terms of area, population, economy, etc., Yan State and Zhao State are not of the same order of magnitude at all, not to mention that the coach who led Zhao State's army to come this time is the Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo who made everyone fearful.

What should I do?

Not to mention that the King of Yan didn't know what to do, even the ministers of the Yan Kingdom under his command really didn't know what to do.

Guo Kui bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, the strength of our country of Yan has no way to fight against the country of Zhao. Please send envoys to other countries as soon as possible and ask for help from other countries." .”

Guo Wei's words sounded quite depressing, but all the kings and ministers of Yan Kingdom present knew that what he said was indeed an out-and-out fact.

King Yan sighed, and couldn't help but said: "The envoy is definitely going to send an envoy, but don't you think it's strange?

Why is Zhao Guo's action so sudden and resolute this time, as if he is not afraid of interference from any other country at all.

In the widow's heart, I always feel that there may be something wrong in it, what do you think? "

As soon as the King of Yan finished speaking, the other ministers of the Yan Kingdom were stunned.

After a few seconds, Lord Chang smiled reluctantly and said, "Your Majesty may be worrying too much. Today's Zhao State is so powerful that it is a thorn in the side of all the vassal states in the world. Other vassal states are It is absolutely impossible to watch us being annexed by Zhao Guo.

If Zhao Guo really sent envoys to them, they should have already informed us. "

Yan Wang sighed helplessly, and said very sadly: "I hope it is like this, anyway, send me the envoy immediately.

Lord Chang, you must immediately mobilize all the troops in our country of Yan, and you must firmly block this Zhao Kuo, and you must not let him complete any coveting and attempts on our Dayan territory! "

In the end, King Yan felt a little helpless in his heart. It's alright for the damn country of Zhao to expand continuously over the years, why should he still worry about the widow's three-acre land?

Obviously you Zhao Guodu has obtained so much land, do you have to push our Yan country to death?

It just doesn't make sense.

Thinking of this, King Yan couldn't help but said angrily: "If one day the widow can lead a large army to break through Handan, this must let these Zhao people know what real cruelty is!"

Yan Guo, who had no knowledge of this battle, was also forced to activate the war machine this time, and was ready to go to war with Zhao Guo at any time.

But at this moment, King Yan still doesn't know what fate he and the country of Yan are about to face!

Chapter 744 Zhao Kuo's Strategy

The Yan people didn't know what kind of ending they were about to usher in, but Zhao Kuo knew it very well.

So just after leaving Handan, Zhao Kuo immediately summoned all his confidants around him and began to arrange it.

"Li Mu, if you go north immediately, you will join the 3 cavalrymen who went south from the Monan Grassland, and then lead these 3 cavalrymen to insert directly from the direction of Liaoxi and Liaodong, and cut off the connection between Liaoxi and Liaodong. It can give King Yan any chance to escape to Liaodong, understand?"

In history, when the Qin State destroyed the Yan State, it first captured the capital of the Yan State, Jidu, and then the Yan royal family fled to Liaodong to survive, relying on Liaodong for another year or two before perishing.

Zhao Kuo naturally wanted to learn such a lesson this time, so that the King of Yan would never have any escape route, and he would directly destroy the Yan Kingdom in Jidu.

When Li Mu heard Zhao Kuo's order, he became energetic immediately, and said loudly to Zhao Kuo: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely complete the task successfully this time!"

Zhao Kuo glanced at Li Mu, who was full of fighting spirit, and nodded with a smile.

This guy Li Mu has always been thinking about war, and he didn't get a chance to appear in the coup last year. Although Li Mu didn't say it on the surface, he probably felt a lot of regret in his heart.

Now that he was finally able to step on this bloody real battlefield again, and at the same time lead the cavalry that Li Mu had always liked very much, this undoubtedly gave Li Mu a feeling that the birds return to the forest and the dragon returns to the sea.

Not only that, since the country of Yan had already been identified as the target of this time's demise, it can be said that Li Mu spent almost all his time studying all the information about the country of Yan except for eating and sleeping.

The result of this is that the entire military plan concept written by Li Mu and handed over to Zhao Kuo actually took nearly a hundred pages, which really surprised Zhao Kuo.

But there is a saying that is good, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.

After Li Mu's careful research, he had such a detailed understanding of the Yan people, so Zhao Kuo naturally believed that he would be able to show his strength in the next destruction of the Yan country, shocking the whole world.

After explaining to Li Mu, Zhao Kuo turned his attention to Xu Li again, and said, "Uncle Xu, this time you have to mobilize all the power of our Nightingale in Yan Kingdom, there is no need to hold back anything, understand Yet?"

Xu Li nodded, and then said with some hesitation: "If we mobilize all our power, will it arouse fear from the king?"

Zhao Kuo chuckled, and said to Xu Li: "If it is launched directly, then the king will definitely be afraid.
