Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Han Xuwei spread his hands and said with a smile: "There is no way, who made Lord Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru the enemies of this old man?

I have not forgotten the lessons they taught me 20 years ago. "

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "Where is there an eternal enemy in politics?"

Han Xuwei nodded and said: "That's true, but the old man just doesn't want to get back together with them.

In addition, although forming an alliance with Wu Xinjun is somewhat troublesome, it also has an advantage. "

Zhao Kuo asked, "What are the benefits?"

Han Xuwei said: "People like you usually don't betray their allies casually."

Zhao Kuo was startled for a moment, then laughed: "It's true.

But if I was betrayed by an ally once, then I will never trust this ally again in my life. "

Han Xuwei said with a smile: "The old man thinks Wu Xinjun's idea is very good."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Is there anything else?"

Han Xu said: "So, Wu Xinjun agreed?"

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and said, "This Marquis doesn't want to become an enemy with Lord Cheng, but right now I don't want to break with Lord Yuan either."

Han Xuwei may indeed be trusted by the Queen Mother, but after all, Zhao Kuo has no contact with Han Xuwei at all, and of course it is impossible to change sides just because of the other party's few words.

What's more, Zhao Kuo now has the ability to build his own power and fight against others, so why should he be Han Xuwei's younger brother?

Han Xuwei smiled, and seemed not surprised by Zhao Kuo's answer: "I know, this is because Wu Xinjun is not familiar with the old man. After a while, Wu Xinjun will understand that it is a very good idea to cooperate with the old man." idea."

Zhao Kuo said very simply: "Let's wait for a while."

Han Xuwei frowned slightly, and said: "Wu Xinjun should know the trust of the queen mother and the king in the old man, as long as he can join the old man, then after the death of the old man in the future, Wu Xinjun will be the most trusted person of the queen mother and the king gone."

Zhao Kuo was silent for a moment, and said very seriously: "No matter when and where I am, the first thing I think of is the millions of soldiers and civilians of Great Zhao and the thousands of people of China, and it has nothing to do with which side I stand on."

Han Xuwei sighed a little disappointed: "It seems that Wu Xinjun is not willing to stand by the old man?"

Zhao Kuo looked at Han Xuwei and said calmly: "Benhou has already said that I don't want to fight against you, Cheng Guojun, but I will not break with Yuanyuan either.

Whoever does something that is beneficial to Da Zhao will be supported by this Marquis.

It's that simple. "

Han Xuwei took a deep look at Zhao Kuo and said, "I understand."

Zhao Kuo stood up, bowed his hands towards Han Xuwei, bowed to the inner hall of the apse, and then left the apse.

As soon as Zhao Kuo left, the Queen Mother Han Ji appeared.

"What does Cheng Guojun think of Wu Xinjun?"

Han Ji asked.

Han Xuwei smiled and said, "It's almost the same as what the old minister expected."

Han Ji was obviously worried: "But he doesn't seem willing to stand by our side."

Han Xuwei laughed: "Queen Mother, the old minister's idea is just the opposite. Zhao Kuo is already on our side."

Han Ji opened her wonderful eyes wide, and looked at Han Xuwei with some doubts.

Han Xuwei explained with a smile: "Didn't Zhao Kuo say it?

He will be on the side that is good for Da Zhao.

Queen Mother, you and the king are the masters of the Great Zhao. Would you oppose anything that is beneficial to the Great Zhao?

Only people like Mr. Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru would oppose something that is beneficial to Da Zhao but not to them because of their own selfishness.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo is on our side. "

Han Ji thought for a few seconds before she understood Han Xuwei's meaning, and said with a smile, "That's good, the old woman is actually a woman with little knowledge, and everything will be determined by Lao Cheng."

Han Xuwei straightened his face, and respectfully said to the queen mother: "Please rest assured, since the old man trusts the old minister so much, the old minister will definitely do his best to help the queen mother and the king, and prevent anyone who has an evil heart from peeping at the artifacts of our Great Zhao Zongmiao." !"

Chapter 150 The plan to attack Qin still needs to be discussed again?

"Han Xuwei came back for revenge."

Sitting on the carriage, Zhao Kuo pondered for a while and came to this conclusion.

When a person puts personal grudges above national interests, he can do many terrible things.

When Han Xuwei met just now, he accused Lord Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru of harming the interests of the country because of his own selfishness, but Zhao Kuo felt that Han Xuwei might actually do similar things in the future, even more excessive.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sighed.

According to the original plan, at the beginning of spring next year, Zhao Kuo should lead the army to attack the Hedong County of Qin State, but now because of Zhao Wang's death and Han Xuwei's return to the country, can this matter that should have been settled now go on smoothly? Going down will be marked with a big question mark.

The carriage stopped slowly without knowing when.

"My lord, the mansion has arrived."

Xu Li's excited voice came from outside.

Once upon a time, Xu Li also respectfully called another man "Junhou". Now, with Xu Li's company, Zhao Kuo, the son of that man, has once again obtained the title that all the courtiers dream of!A family with two princes, and not close relatives of the royal family, this is definitely one of the few in the entire Warring States period, and it is hard to match!Before all the retainers of the Zhao family gathered in the carriage, they knelt down towards Zhao Kuo who had just stepped out of the carriage: "Your servant, I have seen you!"

At this moment, everyone was glowing with incomparable excitement.

26-year-old princes are not unavailable. Many princes of vassal states were named princes just after they were born, but Zhao Kuo became a prince at the age of 26 because of his contribution to the country. Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period Only this one person!Never before!At this moment, everyone felt extremely proud of being a member of the Zhao family's family!Not far away, Zhao Kuo's mother had tears in her eyes. Zhao Kuo's two wives were holding their children, and their four beautiful eyes were staring at Zhao Kuo. Countless stars were shining.

Zhao Kuo showed a big smile and opened his arms towards everything in front of him.

"Today, there is a big banquet in the mansion, and everyone will not return if they are not drunk!"

To be happy in life is to be happy, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon!This night, Zhao Mansion became a sea of ​​joy!The next morning, when Zhao Kuo, with the pain of a hangover, carefully put the two wives and concubines on his body and covered them with quilts, and then walked out of the bed, his legs suddenly weakened, and he staggered and almost fell.

In the war between men and women, men are always at a disadvantage, especially when the opponents are two women, the outcome of this war is predetermined in advance, even if Zhao Kuo is the world's military god, it is useless!Zhao Kuo, who had just finished breakfast, welcomed the envoy from the palace after washing and washing with heavy dark circles under his eyes.

"Wu Xinjun, the Empress Dowager called you into the palace to discuss the matter of attacking Qin in the next spring!"

Zhao Kuo's heart trembled slightly, and the secret call came so fast.

Half an hour later, the main hall of Zhao Guolongtai Palace.

The Empress Dowager took Little Zhao Wang to sit at the top, followed by Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, and the position opposite Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng that originally belonged to Lin Xiangru was now occupied by Han Xuwei, and then Lin Xiangru, and then It's Zhao Kuo!For the first time, Zhao Kuo surpassed Lian Po in the state affairs meeting, and sat in the fourth position among the seven important ministers of Zhao Guo.

After Zhao Kuo, there were Lian Po, Pingyang Jun and Zhou Shaofen.

This is the latest division of political forces in Zhao Guo's political arena.

Empress Dowager Han Ji wore a thing similar to the later Sui and Tang Dynasty Mili to cover her cheeks today, and only the voice that sounded a bit clear and sweet, which did not quite match the occasion of such a serious military event came out: "The reason why we convened today The ministers are here to discuss the matter of attacking Qin in the next spring."

Lord Pingyuan, as Zhao Guoxiangbang, was the first to speak of course: "The matter of attacking Qin was made by the late king when he was alive. Could it be that the queen mother wants to cancel this battle of attacking Qin?"

Lord Pingyuan's voice was somewhat questioning, because when the matter of attacking Qin was discussed, it was fully promoted by the Gongzu faction headed by Lord Pingyuan, and Zhao Kuo refuted Lian Po and others, and finally passed.

Han Ji's voice paused slightly, and then her tone rose a little: "As a woman, the old woman doesn't know much about these military affairs, but now that the king has just passed away, does Da Zhao need to be stable for a year or two before proceeding?" What about conquest?"

With just one question, one answer and four sentences, some kind of vague anger seems to have spread in the hall.

Zhao Kuo looked at Mr. Pingyuan in a little surprise, not knowing why this prince who was quite calm in the past would show such an attitude at this time.

Just face-to-face with the Queen Mother right from the start?

Han Xuwei coughed, and said unhurriedly: "The old man thinks what the queen mother said is very true. After all, Da Zhao is now at the time when the old and the new are handing over, so we should take it easy. Waiting for a year or two to continue the conquest is not a problem. Late."

Han Xuwei's words did not surprise Zhao Kuo.

Of course Han Xuwei would stand on the queen mother's side, and Zhao Kuo even suspected that Han Xuwei suggested that the queen mother convene the court meeting when he defeated Qin.

But at the next moment, something unexpected happened to Zhao Kuo.

Lin Xiangru also said calmly: "What the queen mother and the grand master said is indeed reasonable.

It is already winter now, and the beginning of spring is only one or two months away. It is not easy to go through the whole process of changing from old to new within these two months.

It's better to cancel this time's motion to conquer Qin, and it won't be too late to start the crusade when it is ready next year or the year after.

After listening to Lin Xiangru's words, and seeing Mr. Pingyuan's increasingly ugly expression, Zhao Kuo suddenly understood.

Obviously, Mr. Pingyuan must have gone to Lin Xiangru and hoped to join forces with Lin Xiangru again to drive Han Xuwei away, but the result is clear just from what Lin Xiangru said.

Not good.

Han Xuwei has been away from the political arena of Zhao State for 20 years. He doesn't have much reputation and power, but he has the trust and support of the Queen Mother and King Zhao.

Lin Xiangru has enough reputation and power, but he has been stabilized by the Gongzu faction led by Mr. Pingyuan.

But once the two cooperate, the disadvantages between them will be eliminated by the complementary effect in an instant, which will form a huge threat to Mr. Pingyuan and the Gongzu faction.

No wonder Mr. Pingyuan behaved so restlessly today!Suddenly, the Empress Dowager cast her eyes on Zhao Kuo, and said softly, "Mr. Wu Xin, you are the number one general in Da Zhao. The old lady wants to hear your opinion."

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Zhao Kuo, with different meanings.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Kuo immediately answered, "Back to the queen mother, I think the battle to attack Qin is inevitable!"

Chapter 151

Zhao Kuo's cadenced voice echoed in the hall, and it took a few seconds for it to slowly fade away from everyone's eardrums.

Han Xuwei shifted his gaze to Zhao Kuo, and said slowly, "Why?"

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "There are two reasons.

First of all, the battle to attack Qin had already been decided a few months ago. Da Zhao had already put in a lot of preparations for this battle. If he gave up, all these preparations would be in vain; When I was young, did the princes covet me, Da Zhao?

If you can win the battle against Qin at this time, you will definitely be able to effectively deter the princes and let them understand that Da Zhao is still the invincible overlord of the world! "

Han Xuwei asked subconsciously: "Could it be sure to win?"

Zhao Kuo gave Han Xuwei a strange look, and said, "Of course!"

Han Xuwei wanted to refute, but then he came back to his senses and fell into silence.

In this world, Zhao Kuo is the only one who can confidently say the words "Attacking Qin will surely win", and he is not regarded as nonsense.

Who is Zhao Kuo's record?Han Xu didn't speak, so Lin Xiangru glanced at Lian Po, intending to ask for advice, and then saw Lian Po shaking his head slightly, so he didn't speak.

Seeing that no one else was talking, Zhao Kuo simply looked at the empress dowager and the young King Zhao at the top, and said in a deep voice, "I know what the empress dowager and the king have doubts about, but what I want to say is that Da Zhao's The pattern should be bigger! Now that the princes see that my Great Zhao is changing from old to new, they will definitely relax their vigilance. Sending troops at this moment will be more effective, which is a rare opportunity! As long as he wins Hedong, Great Zhao can go south to the Yellow River and lock the Weihan Passage , Completely block the way out of Qin to the east! Afterwards, Da Zhao will be able to slowly clean up the eastern countries, wipe them out one by one, and then attack Qin with the power of Shandong, and finally wipe out the princes in one fell swoop, and pacify Huaxia!"

After Zhao Kuo's impassioned words fell, everyone in the hall was immediately moved.

At this point in time, the Huaxia people have never experienced what it feels like to be truly unified.

Now, Zhao Kuo just used some short words, and slowly opened a picture scroll that no one had seen before in front of everyone.

How does this feel?

You can get the answer from the expression on everyone's face.

Even the five-year-old King Zhao opened his mouth wide open, trying to imagine how he would rule the whole world one day.

The world should be as big as several palaces, right?

After a long while, Han Xuwei said slowly, "Mr. Wu Xin really thinks he can take down Qin's Hedong County?"

Zhao Kuo nodded without thinking: "Of course!"

Han Xuwei let out a long breath and didn't speak.

There was silence in the hall, and there was no speaking for a long time.

Han Xuwei said lightly: "The old man has no objections."

As soon as Han Xu said this, a surprised expression appeared on Mr. Pingyuan's face.

Actually give in?

This is very different from Han Xuwei in my impression.

Zhao Kuo also looked at Han Xuwei with a little surprise, and said after a while, "Thank you Cheng Guojun for your understanding."

Empress Dowager Han Ji waited for a while, seeing that Lin Xiangru did not speak, so she said slowly: "Since Lord Wu Xin said that all the ministers have no objection, then the plan of last year will remain unchanged, and Lord Wu Xin will lead the army in the next year. Attack Qin!"

Zhao Kuo arched his hands and said very seriously: "The queen mother is wise, the king is wise!"

When he sat down, Zhao Kuo noticed that Han Xuwei was staring at him with deep eyes.

After the meeting, Queen Mother Han Ji summoned Han Xuwei again in the apse.

"The grand master said before that no matter what, he would stop the plan to attack Qin next year. Why did Zhao Kuo give up after a few words?"
