Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Kuo's meaning can be summed up very simply, that is, you have to eat every bite, and you have to do things step by step.

Zhao Kuo, as a traverser and the founder of the policy, of course knows how to do this policy to maximize the benefits, which is the best for development.

But the officials below are not Zhao Kuo. It is impossible for them to be as clear as Zhao Kuo thought. If they want to fork, it will be harmful instead of beneficial.

So Zhao Kuo needs to set an example.

For the entire Handan City, this model is Pingkangfang. Officials and people in other cities don’t know how to do it. Come to Pingkangfang to see it, experience it, and study it.

For the entire State of Zhao, this model is Handan. Officials and people in other counties don't know how to do it. Come to Handan to see it and feel it.

Zhao Kuo does not require everyone to understand everything, as long as they understand the general idea and develop slowly, it is enough.

After Zhao Wang finished listening, he immediately understood what Zhao Kuo meant, slapped his thigh and praised: "Wu Xinjun, you are right, it is indeed the truth.

If things are done in a hurry, the people below will be at a loss.

So let it be like this, Pingkangfang will take three months, and Handan will take another year to develop. At this time next year, it will be officially promoted to the whole country! "

Only then did Zhao Kuo smile, and said to Zhao Wang, "Your Majesty is indeed wise!"

The other Zhao Guo ministers present quietly watched this scene, and suddenly felt a feeling in their hearts.

Now Zhao Guo's internal affairs seem to have been truly controlled by Wu Xinjun, and even the king has to obey Wu Xinjun's words.

Chapter 977 The Tangle between Qin State and Chu State

So the reform of Pingkangfang was formally confirmed as the new policy of Zhao State.

Zhao Wang issued an order to let Zhao Kuo be fully responsible for promoting this reform to all parts of Zhao State, and the time limit given was three years.

Of course, this matter is very easy for Zhao Kuo. After all, Zhao Kuo only needs to come up with ideas and ideas in his mind, and there will naturally be a lot of loyal subordinates to help Zhao Kuo deal with the rest.

Zhou Shaofen was obviously slapped heavily in the face for this incident, but after the incident got out, there was a very strange change in the ears of the Zhao people.

"Isn't Wu Xinjun's victory in the political struggle a matter of course?

In fact, there is nothing surprising. "

"That's right, so many political opponents have tried to bring down Wu Xinjun over the years, but they all ended up being severely slapped in the face by Wu Xinjun.

So I said that Zhou Qing's loss is not surprising at all, but if Zhou Qing wins, it would be really strange. "

"The current state is pretty good, with Wu Xinjun in charge of the overall situation, and the others just obediently obey Wu Xinjun's orders.

Don't think about it any more, anyway, I think only Wu Xinjun can make our country of Zhao truly stronger. "

"Too true.

Isn’t it because of the existence of Lord Wu Xin that our country of Zhao was able to destroy the countries of Yan and Wei in these years?

So, we must trust Wu Xinjun, and we don't need to worry about other people's words. "

Although these remarks are only part of the speeches in Handan City, they actually reflect how strong the trust in Zhao Kuo is in the political arena and the people of Zhao State.

The simple summary is one sentence, only Zhao Kuo can save Zhao Guo.

This matter is over here. After a few days, everyone stopped talking about the reform of Pingkangfang, but began to discuss another matter, that is, the ongoing Zhao Guo The war that destroyed Korea.

South Korea, Xinzheng City.

Li Mu stared at the tall city wall of Xinzheng in front of him, his brows never loosened.

"These bloody Koreans can't fight wars, but they're pretty good at building turtle shells."

It's no wonder that Li Mu complained so much. The Koreans' defense was too complete, making it difficult for a battle-hardened general like Li Mu to attack.

In fact, it is not that Li Mu has other means. As long as the explosives in his hands can reach a sufficient amount, it is not impossible to blow up the city wall.

However, Li Mu is also very clear that things like explosives should never be taken out unless it is absolutely necessary.

There are quite a few generals of Zhao State beside Li Mu, and they are reporting the situation to Li Mu.

"General, all the cities of the Koreans have been conquered by us, and Yangdi City just fell two days ago."

The two most famous cities in South Korea are Yangdi City and Xinzheng City, which are the former capital and the current capital of South Korea respectively.

Now that the old capital Yangdi City has fallen, the South Korean defenders in this new journey have become the last South Korean army still fighting.

In other words, as long as this city can be captured, South Korea can officially declare its demise.

However, facing such news, Li Mu was somewhat unhappy.

In Li Mu's view, South Korea should have perished long ago, instead of being dragged until now.

If these Koreans have the courage to go out of the city for a decisive battle, Li Mu feels that he can still give South Korea a decent road to subjugation.

It's a pity that these Koreans have obviously made up their minds long ago, no matter what they will not surrender, they will only stick to this city until the last moment.

Li Mu rubbed his chin, and said helplessly, "Send someone to tell Handan that we have no results for the time being. The siege of this city should be a long-term job, so let Handan do a good job as well." preparation."

Although Li Mu was a little anxious, in fact he knew very well that this kind of thing cannot be rushed.

In fact, from the perspective of war, it took Li Mu just over a month and less than two months to beat South Korea to the last city. This is definitely a speed that no one can find fault with.

Li Mu's information was quickly sent to Handan, and Xu Li notified Zhao Guojun and ministers in another court meeting.

Even though Zhou Shaofen was very at odds with Zhao Kuo's faction on this matter, Zhou Shaofen did not raise any objections or questions.

Because Zhou Shaofen is also very clear that objecting or questioning at this time can only be self-defeating. If he really wants to do this, he still has to wait until Li Mu fails.

Zhao Wang also had the same idea. He said, "As long as we can conquer South Korea within this year, it will be fine. At present, it seems that such hope should be quite high."

When King Zhao spoke, his tone was obviously happy. After all, this is the third country that King Zhao will destroy soon.

For any monarch of the Zhao Kingdom, this is an unprecedented major achievement, and it will definitely be recorded in the history books in the future.

Zhao Kuo nodded, agreed with Zhao Wang's analysis, and also put forward his own opinions.

"Although the current situation is indeed quite favorable to us, I feel that there are still some other aspects that deserve attention, especially the diplomatic aspect.

According to the report of our spies in the other three countries, Qi State has no plans to mobilize troops at all, but both Qin State and Chu State seem to have some signs of wanting to mobilize troops. It must be guarded against, Your Majesty. "

After Zhao Wang heard this sentence, he also nodded again and again, and said: "Actually, this is the truth, Mr. Wu Xin, you have to prepare well, and you must not let these guys interfere with the cause of the widow's demise of Korea, understand Yet?"

Listening to these words, Zhou Shaofen on the other side felt as if he had been completely ignored in this court discussion, but Zhou Shen was still unable to put forward any opinions, because this kind of ignorance was not intentional by Zhao Kuo, it was completely King Zhao kept asking Zhao Kuo.

As Zhao Kuo said, Qin and Chu in the distance are indeed discussing whether they want to start a war against Zhao?

Xianyang, Qin Palace.

Qin King Yingzi Chu sat on the throne and said to the other Qin ministers present: "Tell me, should we start a war with Zhao soon?"

Ying Zichu is definitely the monarch who hates Zhao State the most, so for him, he is unwilling to give up any opportunity that may hit Zhao State.

If it was other questions, there would definitely be a lot of people rushing to answer the moment Ying Zichu finished speaking.

But when it comes to Zhao Guo's issue, there will always be a habitual silence here.

This is actually not surprising, because for these Qin ministers, they really have a shadow over Zhao Guo.

After so many years, in the war between Qin State and Zhao State, the number of victories can be counted on the fingers.

More importantly, Qin has never defeated Zhao Kuo. When Zhao Kuo was alive, the pressure in the hearts of Qin people was always there.

Under such circumstances, when it comes to Zhao Guo, it is only natural that everyone dare not speak.

Even Ying Zichu was used to this situation, so he didn't talk nonsense and just called the roll call.

"Master, can you tell me what to do?"

Lu Buwei, the grand master of Qin State, pretended to think for a while, and gave an answer.

"Your Majesty, this veteran feels that it is indeed not the time to start a war with Zhao Guo.

Although we defeated Zhao Guo once last year, Lian Po led the team that time.

This time the general Zhao Guo sent was Li Mu. This Li Mu is the number one general under Zhao Kuo's command. If we meet him, our chances of victory are actually very small. "

For Lu Buwei, of course he didn't want to see Qin and Zhao go to war.

The overall strategy is very simple. It is to delay the war between Qin and Zhao. When there are only two countries left in the world, Lu Buwei can return to Zhao in the name of surrender. in the country.

Lu Buwei's point of view was not beyond the expectations of other people present. After all, Lu Buwei has always been known for his compromise with Zhao Guo and his emphasis on peace.

After hearing Lu Buwei's words, Qin Xiangbang Fan Sui couldn't help but frowned and said: "Although the reason is the same, if we don't do anything, then wouldn't Korea just perish in vain?

Now two countries in this world have been wiped out by Zhao Guo one after another. If we are still desperate to save Zhao Guo, what should we do next? "

For Fan Sui, Zhao State is definitely the country he hates the most. After all, Qin State was extremely powerful back then, but in Fan Sui's hands, it was knocked down step by step by Zhao State, and has become a second-rate country today.

Lu Buwei chuckled, and said to Fan Sui: "Don't Yinghou know that the Zhao people have actually gathered 20 troops in Handan City?

These 20 soldiers and horses did not go to quarrel with South Korea, he was just waiting for rescue from other countries.

If we rescue South Korea, then the 20 army will come towards us. I want to ask if the current Daqin can really defeat it. Is it very possible that the 20 army led by Zhao Kuo himself? "

After Lu Buwei finished speaking, the presence suddenly became silent, and no one could continue to speak.

Ying Zichu, who originally had some hopes, could only shake his head helplessly when he saw this scene, and said: "Okay, everyone knows, then stop talking nonsense, and just follow what the grand master said. Bar."

Although he was very reluctant in his heart, in the end Ying Zichu followed Lu Buwei's suggestion and decided not to send troops to fight against Zhao Guo in the end, so as not to recruit Zhao Guo's 20 troops to attack the stone with eggs.

On the other side, regarding the same problem, the monarchs and ministers of Chu State also had the same discussion.

The king of Chu said slowly: "The ambition of this Zhao country really has no limit, first it destroyed Yan and Wei, and now it is South Korea.

If he continues to do this, I'm afraid our country of Chu will suffer disaster soon. "

Of course there is a reason why the king of Chu said that. Looking at the current national borders, apart from South Korea, the closest capital to Zhao is Chencheng of Chu.

In other words, once South Korea is destroyed, the capital of Chu State will face the greatest pressure.

As long as Zhao Guo is willing, the turbulent army from Handan can cross the Yellow River at any time and appear outside the capital of Chu State.

Considering the current national power comparison between Chu and Zhao, this kind of picture is just imagined, and it is enough to make the king of Chu sleepless.

After hearing the words of King Chu, other ministers of Chu also had different opinions.

Da Sima Jingyang, known among the people present, was the most steadfast leader who opposed Zhao Guoyi's faction, and immediately said: "What the king said is very true. Now we, Chu State, should unite with other countries to send troops to rescue South Korea. We can't No more hesitation.

If we wait until South Korea is also destroyed, it will be really difficult.

Because Zhao Guo people will never know how to be satisfied, this is an extremely greedy country, and Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo's helper Wu Xinjun, is a person with never-ending desires. We must not give Zhao Kuo and Zhao Guo anything to continue to become stronger Opportunity. "

Jingyang's words undoubtedly strengthened the idea of ​​going to war in King Chu's heart, but it must be known that there is not only one Jingyang in the state of Chu.

Chu State Commander, Chunshen Lord Huang Xie said, "Sima Jingyang, what you said is very wrong.

Don't you know that 20 troops are gathering in Handan, Zhao State?

If we send troops, doesn't it mean that we will have a life-and-death war with this 20 army. Do you really think we can defeat Zhao's 20 troops? "

Jingyang snorted heavily, and said to Chun Shenjun: "The Zhao people's 20 soldiers and horses are not invincible, and they haven't even fought, so why do you say that our Chu State will definitely lose?

It's simply increasing the ambition of others and destroying one's own prestige. "

Chunshen Jun chuckled, and pointed out the most important question: "Could it be that you have forgotten that Zhao Kuo, the Xinjun of Zhao Guowu, is in Handan City right now?

If Zhao Kuo led the army, I wonder if you have the confidence to win, Da Sima? "

This question was definitely very sharp, he slapped Jingyang's face like a slap, causing Jingyang's face to turn pale quickly, and he could no longer speak.

The King of Chu felt a little helpless watching this scene, and rubbed his temples.

Although the relationship between Chu State and Zhao State was very good before, it was because both sides had common enemies like Qin State and Qi State at that time.

Now that Zhao Guo’s family is dominant, this situation has changed. Chu Guo, as Zhao Guo’s neighbor, is undoubtedly quite afraid of Zhao Guo.

And don't forget that the Chu State was in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it fought for hundreds of years with the Jin State, the predecessor of the Zhao State, and ended up losing both sides.

It can be said that the relationship between the two parties was formed hundreds of years ago, and this beam is not so easily resolved.

The King of Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Don't be too hasty to make a decision on this matter, but pass on the order to the widow, and let the widow gather all the army supplies that should be mobilized first, so as not to use them when they are available." Too late, understand?"

Obviously, for King Chu, he still hopes to send troops.

Chapter 978

According to common sense, the king of Chu is the supreme ruler of the state of Chu, and all the ministers he summoned are the most core ministers of the state of Chu. It should be difficult to disclose the matters discussed as the secrets of the state of Chu.

But an intriguing incident soon appeared. In the evening, the content of this meeting was leaked out by a participant.

Who is this guy?
