Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

However, Li Yuan sat very firmly, and didn't seem to have any intention to speak.

Li Yuan was in a panic at this time. If Li Yuan opened his mouth, he would have no other way out but to ask for an expedition.

However, Li Yuan doesn't know how to fight!If this is really against Zhao Kuo, wouldn't it be for nothing?

So Li Yuan was very wise not to speak out on this issue, but let other people show off.

After waiting for a while, someone really spoke.

Jingyang stood up and said, "I want to report to the king, the veteran is willing to lead the army and fight Zhao Kuo!"

Jingyang's opening really did not surprise everyone.

No matter at any time, as long as it is mentioned to be against Zhao Kuo, then Jingyang will always be very energetic.

If it was in normal times, the king of Chu might have to think about checks and balances, but now that the Zhao country is already under pressure, the Chu country will face the crisis of extinction in a few minutes, so he has no such mood.

The king of Chu said directly: "Very good, I know that at the critical moment, Sima Jingyang is utterly loyal to Da Chu! How about it, you will be the chief general, and I will hand over all the soldiers and horses of Da Chu to you. You must block Zhao Kuo once, and prevent the traitor Zhao Kuo from succeeding!"

Jingyang nodded vigorously, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will never let you down."

Later, Jingyang nominated Zhao Zhong and Qu Feng as his lieutenants.

For this nomination, it is easy to talk about the neutral submission, but Zhao Zhong was obviously a little surprised.

We must know that this is not the era when the three major families join forces to deal with Lord Chunshen, but a new era where the Jing family and the Zhao family stand side by side. Jingyang actually nominated Zhao Zhong, the leader of the Zhao family, as his deputy?

But no matter what, it is true that the critical situation of Chu State is here, and the national crisis does not allow Zhao Zhong to have any room for refusal, so he naturally agreed.

So, after a lot of patchwork, since the military strength of the Chu State is not only the national standing army, but also a lot of noble private troops, after a lot of patchwork, a total of 20 soldiers and horses were assembled!King Chu was overjoyed by this number, and said to Jingyang, "Da Sima, Zhao Kuo has 30 troops, and you have 20 troops now, you have to hold on!"

Jingyang patted his chest, and said confidently: "I will definitely stand up!"

At this moment, Jingyang felt complacent, and he didn't even forget to glance at Li Yuan who was beside him.

So what about you, Li Yuan, as Ling Yin?

Doesn't Your Majesty trust me the most in Jingyang?

Li Yuan is not a fool, of course he could feel Jingyang's meaning, and was depressed at that time.

But it is impossible for Li Yuan to say anything, after all, this is also his choice.

With this depressed mood, Li Yuan returned to his mansion.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Li Yuan's butler came up very nervously and reported a news to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and looked at the housekeeper in disbelief: "Are you sure?"

The butler gave a wry smile and said, "Sure, I'll wait for you in the secret room."

Li Yuan put away his smile and walked quickly into the secret room.

There, an old acquaintance of Li Yuan looked at Li Yuan with a smile.

"Lord Ling Yin, Li Si of the Han Dynasty is polite."

Chapter 1101

The moment he saw Li Si, Li Yuan doubted his life a little bit!The next moment, Li Yuan couldn't help but said, "Brother Li Si, why are you here?"

Li Si smiled and said to Li Yuan: "Why, can't I come?"

Li Yuan was speechless, and said: "Now you Zhao, no, your King of Han is leading troops to attack our Great Chu. Tell me, if our King knows that you are with me, what will happen?"

Li Si laughed out loud, and he didn't seem to have any worries about the imminent disaster: "Brother Li Yuan, don't you still see the current situation clearly?

The state of Chu is over!I came here this time to give Brother Li Yuan a chance, a chance to truly preserve his wealth and glory forever! "

Hearing this, Li Yuan fell silent.

He is not a fool, of course he can understand Li Si's meaning.

After a while, Li Yuan said: "So you plan to persuade me to surrender to Han?"

Li Si chuckled and said, "Brother Li Yuan, five of the former seven princes in the world have been wiped out by Han, and only Chu is still struggling.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current state of Chu is completely impossible to sustain, and it will be destroyed this year.

Could it be that Brother Li Yuan knew that the big ship of Chu State was no longer good enough, and would he stay on it until it sank with the big ship of Chu State?

It's time to change to a newer big ship, this is the real strategy that can make your Li family stable! "

Li Si's intention was indeed very obvious, he was here to persuade him to surrender.

Judging from the current situation, Zhao Kuo actually does not need Li Si to come to Shouchun to persuade him to surrender, because everyone knows that the Han Kingdom is definitely very stable in this wave, and it can be said that it will undoubtedly win.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Kuo certainly didn't need Li Si to risk his life to come to Shouchun City. Li Si actually volunteered to come here.

Why take the initiative to ask for a job?

The reason is also very simple, because Li Si wants to make meritorious service.

After Zhao Kuo proclaimed the king and established the Han Dynasty, Li Si was named the deputy minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Of course, Li Si is quite satisfied with this position, and it is also in line with Li Si's credit.

But the problem is, Li Si still wants to continue to improve.

How could a mere deputy minister be the end of young Li Si's official career?

It's just that, seeing that there is only Chu State left in the world, if he doesn't want to make meritorious deeds, frankly speaking, there will not be as many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future.

So Li Si stopped talking nonsense, and directly asked Zhao Kuo for orders. Zhao Kuo didn't agree at first, but couldn't stand Li Si's stalking, and finally agreed to Li Si.

Since Li Si was the leader of the nightingale in the state of Chu before, he was of course familiar with the way, and with the help of the nightingale system, he came all the way to Shouchun and met Li Yuan.

After listening to Li Si's words, Li Yuan fell into deep thought for a long time.

Frankly speaking, Li Yuan was really moved.

After all, who is better between Chu State and Han State? This is simply an answer that can be known without guessing.

But the problem is that Li Yuan's official position is Ling Yin.

Ling Yin is equivalent to the prime minister of the Great Han Kingdom, an existence under one person and above ten thousand people.

But if Li Yuan surrendered to the Han Kingdom, he didn't need to think about it. The prime minister of the Han Dynasty would definitely have nothing to do with Li Yuan. If he died, he could be a deputy minister like Li Si, or even a county guard.

Obviously there is still some psychological gap in it. As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

After a while, Li Yuan said slowly: "Brother Li Si, I understand what you mean, but in this situation, the military power has been controlled by Jingyang and the others, and there is nothing I can do."

After speaking, Li Yuan told Li Si about the situation in the main hall today, anyway, it is not the ultimate confidential information, such as who will be the main general of the Chu army, sooner or later the Han Kingdom will know.

After Li Si heard it, he was also thoughtful, and looked at Li Yuan with a certain smile in his eyes: "Brother Li Yuan is really calculating."

Seeing Li Si's eyes like this, Li Yuan felt a little weird in his heart, so he turned his eyes away.

In fact, both of them understood Li Yuan's thoughts very well. What's his idea?

That is, Li Yuan didn't want to surrender for the time being, but planned to wait until the result of this battle appeared before making any plans.

Li Si said with a smile: "Actually, brother Li Yuan's thinking is understandable, if I come to sit in the position of Grand Chu Lingyin, I myself have to think carefully for a few days.

How about this, I'm not in a hurry to let Brother Li Yuan make a decision, how about I come to see Brother Li Yuan again after the situation on the front line is clear? "

Hearing this, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Thank you Brother Li Si for understanding my difficulties, please rest assured to stay here with me, Brother Li Si, I will definitely not let the people below leak the news."

Li Yuan also directly put Li Si under house arrest.

If the state of Chu can defeat the state of Han, then Li Yuan can directly hand over Li Si to the king of Chu, and tell the king of Chu, a lobbyist of the Han state, to deal with it as he pleases.

If Han State defeated Chu State, then Li Yuan could use Li Si's relationship to contact Han State and make a defection. Even if he couldn't become rich and powerful in Han State, he could at least be a half-job. Make sure your family is safe.

Since they had already been psychologically prepared for the attack from the Han State, the speed of Chu State's mobilization of troops and horses this time can be said to be unprecedented.

In just seven days, all the soldiers and horses had assembled in Shouchun City, and then they swore to set off.

Coach Jing Jing was also full of ambition, and said loudly to all the soldiers of Chu State in front of him: "Everyone, today Zhao Kuo's rebellious officials and thieves are attacking us outrageously, but our Great Chu is not afraid at all! Our Great Chu defeated the Jin State back then, and then we We have defeated Wei, Qi and Qin successively, now it is our turn to defeat Han! As long as we can defeat Zhao Kuo, then the whole world will be our territory in the future, and we will be the masters of the whole world !"

Jingyang's speech also drew bursts of cheers from the Chu soldiers.

However, on the high platform behind Jingyang, the monarchs and ministers of Chu who watched Jingyang speak were all in different moods.

Can Jingyang really win?

At least half of the people on the high platform doubted this possibility.

It's just that no one will speak out now, and can only wait quietly!Soon, Shuai Jingyang left the city.

Zhaozhong had already fallen out with Jingyang, so now Jingyang is surrounded by another lieutenant, Qu Feng.

Jingyang stroked his beard, put on a confident look, and said to Qu Feng: "Qu Qing, do you know how we are going to fight against Zhao Kuo?"

Qu Feng froze for a moment, then shook his head as a matter of course.

Jingyang laughed and said, "Doesn't Zhao Kuo like to surprise you?

This time, we also gave him a surprise! "

Chapter 1102

Looking at the confident Jingyang, Qu Feng was speechless for a while.

Is this guy overconfident?

Jingyang obviously also felt Qu Feng's doubts, and immediately smiled at Qu Feng: "You think I'm too complacent?

No, facing an opponent like Zhao Kuo, who has the right to be complacent? "

After hearing Jingyang's words, Qu Feng was dumbfounded for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Indeed."

Zhao Kuo, this is definitely a name that makes all enemies sound terrified. After all these years, so many wars, so many opponents, no one can break Zhao Kuo's undefeated golden body!Jingyang smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, Qu Qing, in fact, the old man has been thinking about why the old man has been defeated by Zhao Kuo all the time, and he has been defeated so badly in the past few years.

The old man used to be very confused, but now, the old man finally has some experience. "

When Qu Feng heard this, he knew it was time to speak: "I don't know what Da Sima's experience is?"

Jingyang smiled and said: "Actually, this so-called experience is also very simple, that is, doesn't Zhao Kuo like surprises very much?

So when fighting him, we must never judge him with normal thinking, and even our own thinking must be unexpected!In this way, we can give Zhao Kuo a surprise instead, and this is our greatest advantage! "

After hearing this, Qu Feng felt that what Jingyang said seemed reasonable, so he nodded in conviction and said, "Then, I wonder how Da Sima plans to catch him by surprise?"

Jingyang smiled, pointed at the Huaihe River in front of him, and said, "This river is the border between Chu and Han, right?"

Qu Feng nodded and said: "Indeed."

Jingyang snorted and said, "Our capital, Shouchun, is just south of the Huaihe River, but you and I both know that how can we be able to stop Zhao Kuo's attack with only a mere Huaihe River?

So, we must take a city on the north bank of the Huaihe River as a base. In this way, with this base, it is impossible for the Han army to cross the river unscrupulously. We can use this base as a bridgehead to contain Zhao. included offense. "

Qu Feng's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's true. I don't know which city Da Sima wants to attack as a base?"

Jingyang laughed and pointed to a looming city on the distant horizon: "Of course it is Xiacai City!"

Xiacai City, located in the north of Shouchun, on the north bank of the Huaihe River, was one of the most important cities in the original Chu State.

In the original negotiations between Zhao and Chu, all the territory of Chu State north of the Huaihe River was ceded to Zhao State, so now Xiacai City is naturally ruled by Zhao Kuo's Han State.

After thinking about it for a while, Qu Feng agreed with Jingyang's strategy very much.

If Xiacai City can be conquered, it is indeed possible to have a bridgehead on the north bank, which can effectively weaken the deterrent force of the Han army going south.

It's just that Qu Feng couldn't help but said: "The Han country is not stupid. Their army and officials stationed in Xiacai City should be on alert by now. We don't have explosives, so it is impossible to conquer the city so quickly. Bar."

This is actually a problem, that is, the state of Chu is far behind the state of Han in terms of siege weapons such as explosives. This has led to their siege time remaining the same as before, starting every half a month or a month. Extremely inefficient.

As Qu Feng said, if it really took half a month to conquer, Zhao Kuo led the army of the Han Dynasty and had already arrived at that time.

To Qu Feng's surprise, Jingyang laughed out loud instead of being frustrated or annoyed after hearing his words.

"Qu Qing, Xiacai City is already under our control!"

Qu Feng was taken aback: "How is this possible?"

Jingyang laughed and said, "How is it impossible?

Qu Qing, the old man has already told you, but the old man has been reflecting on it for many years!Zhao Kuo thought the old man would come up with a plan after sending troops?

This time, he was wrong! "

In Xiacai city, there are beacons everywhere, and a fierce battle has just ended.
