Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

The answer is actually very simple, because this is where the largest ferry in Hedong County and Guanzhong area is located.

Opposite Pusan ​​Pass is Linjin Pass of Qin State, and the two passes face each other across the Yellow River.

Xu Li came quickly, and said to Zhao Kuo, "Your Majesty, the investigation has been clear. There are only [-] defenders at Linjin Pass, and the people of Qin have no time to organize more defenders for defense."

When Xu Li mentioned the number [-], he somewhat disapproved.

The 15 Qin army led by Bai Qi was defeated, what use would the [-] Qin army be?

Zhao Kuo said: "Is there any news from General Le Cheng?"

Xu Li said: "General Le Cheng has already attacked Hangu Pass, but Wang Lu led the army to guard it strictly, and General Le Cheng has nothing to do."

Zhao Kuo stroked his beard that had started to grow wildly because it hadn't been trimmed for a long time, and said lightly: "After all, Hangu Pass is also a great pass in the world, so it doesn't matter if you can't take it down.

When our army enters Guanzhong, the Hangu Pass will be destroyed by itself. "

Guanzhong is the rear of Hangu Pass. If the rear is lost, Hangu Pass will of course be impossible to hold.

Zhao Kuo raised his head and glanced at the sky. At this moment, the sunset glow in the western sky was full of golden red, and it was already evening.

The setting sun shines on the turbulent Yellow River, turning the big river into a brilliant belt of light, dazzling and eye-catching.

Zhao Kuo let out a sigh of relief, and said: "Send the order, and immediately have people prepare the ferry, and cross the river tonight to launch an attack!"

Xu Li was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said: "Your Honor, isn't it the same when we attack tomorrow?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said lightly: "It's still different. There may be some changes in Handan. The sooner our army launches an attack, the better."

Xu Li was a little surprised, but he also knew very well that his lord had actually developed an intelligence channel in Handan that he didn't know about over the years, so he responded and hurried down.

Before waiting for a few minutes, Xu Li went back and forth again, holding a bamboo tube in his hand: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent order for five hundred miles from Handan just now!"

Zhao Kuo's face moved slightly, and he said lightly: "Bring it."

Xu Li didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took out the will from the bamboo tube and handed it to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo took the order, looked at it, and finally sighed softly.

"Sure enough," Xu Li couldn't help but said, "Your Honor, did something really happen in Handan?"

Zhao Kuo said calmly: "The Empress Dowager has decided to use Grand Master Han Xu as her envoy to go to Qin to discuss peace.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager also ordered our army to be stationed here, to cooperate with Han Xuwei's peace negotiation action, and let the Marquis follow Han Xuwei's will in everything. "

Xu Li was stunned for a moment, and then he flew into a rage: "This empress dowager is clearly jealous of the lord's talent! Right now is the best time to invade the Qin Pass, how could she miss this opportunity because of suspicion?"

Although Xu Li had a straight temper, he had been by Zhao Kuo's side for so long, so he immediately guessed what the empress dowager Han Ji was thinking.

In fact, it is just a continuation of the mind of the queen mother's dead ghost husband.

Zhao Kuo didn't have much anger, but laughed: "Actually, it's not a surprise."

After all, this is not the first time Zhao Kuo has experienced this kind of thing.

Xu Li looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Master, what should we do now?

Otherwise, we might as well raise our troops to revolt, against it! "

Zhao Kuo shook his head very seriously: "No, the time has not come yet."

Although Zhao Kuo has a high prestige in the army and there are many old troops, it is all based on the fact that Zhao Kuo is the trustworthy king of Zhao Guowu.

In terms of prestige, Mr. Pingyuan and Lin Xiangru are actually not inferior to Zhao Kuo, and they have been rooted in Zhao Guo's political arena longer and have deeper qualifications, and they have greater influence on Zhao Guo officials.

To use an old saying, the hearts of the people are still on the Zhao royal family.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Then let the order go down, and the whole army camps, waiting for the arrival of the Grand Master."

Xu Li said angrily: "Your Majesty, is this really the case?

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break into Guanzhong! "

Xu Li was really angry. Over the years, Xu Li participated in many battles with the Qin State. Many subordinates and friends died in these battles. Who can stand being stopped by the Yellow River?

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "The war can end, but of course this matter cannot be left alone."

When speaking, Zhao Kuo's eyes also flashed a trace of evil spirit.

It is well known that the queen mother Han Ji relied on Han Xuwei as a think tank, and now she sent Han Xuwei to give orders to Zhao Kuo. It is not necessary to know that there must be Han Xuwei jumping up and down behind this.

It seems that Han Xuwei still hasn't learned enough lessons.

Chapter 179 This is a good opportunity to bring down Zhao Kuo!

Since it was an order from Handan, it couldn't be kept secret for long.

Zhao Kuo didn't want to hide it, and immediately issued this order to the entire army.

The commotion caused by this order was astonishing. After half an hour, dozens of generals from the state of Zhao filled Zhao Kuo's camp.

"Wu Xinjun, now that our army has reached Dahe, how can we just give up?"

"Mr. Wu Xin, tomorrow our army will be able to cross the river and occupy the Linjin Pass, entering the pass!"

"I also ask Wu Xinjun to submit the form immediately and let Handan take back his order!"

These Zhao generals not only represent themselves, but also represent the will of 10,000+ Zhao soldiers.

Everyone knows that the current state of Qin is like a tigress who was originally fierce but has now been beaten to the ground. This is the moment when everyone can swarm up to wash away the past grievances and take the opportunity to make a lot of military exploits.

The result is that at this time, they are not allowed to continue marching?

How can I bear this.

Zhao Kuo sighed, and said slowly: "This Marquis empathizes with your feelings, why doesn't Ben Marquis want to cross the river to attack Guanzhong?

But you have to know that this is the will of the Queen Mother and the King, and this Marquis is just a courtier, so he cannot change their minds.

Otherwise, even the Marquis himself will suffer! "

Many generals of the Zhao Kingdom were also silent when they heard the words, and had no choice but to disperse after a while.

Of course, it's not that they don't know what Zhao Kuo said, they are just making their last effort.

As the saying goes, cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents. For these Zhao soldiers, military merit is not only money but also a future. The young king felt somewhat dissatisfied.

"That's the downside of unfairness."

Zhao Kuo shook his head.

Governing the country should never start from selfishness. The stronger the country, the stronger the ruler will be, and the fairer the ruler, the more loyal the subjects will be.

Power is not gained by suspicion and restriction, it should be gained by winning the hearts of the people. Why don't these people understand such a simple truth?

After Zhao's generals had dispersed, Jin Bi and Han Jun also came to see him hand in hand.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Jin Bi said: "Since Zhao has decided to negotiate peace with Qin, then Wei and South Korea will also withdraw their troops."

Zhao Kuo was naturally mentally prepared for this, and said with a smile: "I have to work for you during this period of time. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, please send someone to Handan to inform Benhou. I will try my best to help."

Zhao Kuo's remarks were not purely polite. Although the two generals of Han and Wei were not very capable, they were indeed dedicated to their duties under Zhao Kuo's tent. Basically, the orders issued were completed quite well. rare.

If this time the leader of Wei will be replaced by Lord Xinling, and the leader of South Korea will be replaced by someone like Han Xuwei, who will only hinder his legs. Whether this battle can be won is still a matter of debate.

That night, Zhao Kuo hosted a banquet in the big tent to entertain the two chief generals Wei and Han, and by the way, also rewarded the meritorious generals of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, and everyone broke up happily.

The next day, Wei Jun and Han Jun set off and left, each returning to their respective countries.

According to the previous international practice, it is impossible for the Wei and Han armies to go to war for nothing. Zhao Guo also wants to give some benefits to these two countries, but that is a diplomatic matter, and it is not the turn of these generals to worry about it. up.

Xianyang City, the royal palace.

Prince An Guojun of Qin State and Xiangbang Fan Sui sat facing each other, neither of them looked good-looking.

An Guojun said worriedly: "Seven days have passed, and my father's condition has not improved.

Wait, what should I do? "

Yes, since the last blood spurt that day, Qin Wang Yingji has fallen into a very critical situation. Although he would wake up occasionally, he has never regained consciousness, let alone speak.

Considering the critical situation of Qin State today, the fall of King Qin is undoubtedly very fatal.

Fan Sui also had a serious expression on his face, and after taking a deep breath, he said slowly: "Now that things have come to an end, you, the prince, can only temporarily supervise the country."

Fan Sui knew very well that what An Guojun wanted was his own words, but after all, Fan Sui and An Guojun were not too friendly, so he had been unwilling to just give up power to An Guojun before.

But according to the information that just came, Zhao Kuo has already entered the east bank of the Yellow River, and may cross the river to attack Guanzhong at any time, and the King of Qin has been unable to wake up. .

Sure enough, after getting Fan Sui's words, An Guojun's face immediately relaxed a lot, and he said immediately: "Since Yinghou has said so, then this prince can only reluctantly do what he can, and temporarily regent before the father wakes up. .”

Fan Sui secretly sighed in his heart, but on the surface he didn't say anything, but asked, "What is the prince's plan?"

An Guojun said without hesitation: "Zhao Kuo may attack Guanzhong at any time now, and troops must be dispatched from various places to help."

Fan Sui couldn't help but said, "Army everywhere is in a tight spot right now, Prince."

Lord An Guo said: "Aren't there still Nanjun and Nanyang counties?

The army over there has not been mobilized in the past few years, and it is time for them to come in handy. "

Nanjun and Nanyang counties are the territory of Chu State that Qin State has occupied for these years, especially Nan County is the location of Yingdu, the capital of Chu State hundreds of years ago, so Qin State also sent large soldiers to garrison, and it was rarely mobilized in the previous wars.

Fan Sui was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Prince, the Chu people in these two counties have never stopped rebelling. If troops are transferred from these two counties, the consequences will be disastrous."

An Guojun snorted, and said impatiently: "It's already reached this point, Guanzhong will be lost, so how can there be time to care about the consequences of Nanjun and Nanyang Commanderies?

Call them back first! "

Fan Sui had no choice but to agree.

Mr. An Guo said again: "Mr. Wu An Bai Qi lost his teachers one after another and humiliated the country. Such a person is no longer qualified to lead the Qin army.

General Meng Ao is both wise and brave, he is the best candidate to lead the Qin army. I want Meng Ao to lead the army to fight against Zhao Kuo's invasion. What do you think? "

Fan Sui knew that it was An Guojun who wanted to promote his own people after gaining power, but Bai Qi had already lost the battle, so what could Fan Sui do?

Naturally, he could only agree.

An Guojun obtained satisfactory results one after another, and finally felt the pleasure of being in power for the first time. He couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and was about to continue to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a report from outside the hall: "Prince, Handan five Baili hurry up!"

A moment later, An Guojun and Fan Sui looked at each other with the Zhao Guoguo letter in their hands.

"The Zhao people actually want to negotiate a peace at this time?"

If it wasn't for the King Zhao's seal affixed on this credential, and it was indeed sent through Zhao's official channel, both of them would have wondered if they were delusional.

With such a huge advantage, Zhao Guo actually wants to initiate a peace?

It was Fan Sui who reacted very quickly, came back to his senses after a while, and slapped his thigh.

"Prince, this may be a good opportunity to bring down Zhao Kuo!"

Chapter 180 Grand Master, You Can Go

Han Xuwei stood proudly in the hall, and said loudly: "Zhao Kuo! This old man was ordered by the King and Queen Mother to take full charge of the peace talks with Qin State. You treat the old man so slowly. It is clear that you did not treat the King and Queen Mother Put it in your eyes! As a courtier but insulting the king, what crime do you say you are?"

Don't look at Zhao Kuo's subordinates around, but Han Xuwei doesn't have any fear in his heart.

After all, this is Zhao Guo's military camp!You, Zhao Kuo, are just a minister of Zhao Guo, how can you turn the world upside down?

Zhao Kuo looked at the foaming Han Xuwei, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "Master, you are too confident.

Do you really think that the Marquis does not know that you are the one who facilitated the peace talks?

Now that our army has reached the Yellow River, Guanzhong is on the other side, and we can besiege Xianyang at any time and attack the key points of Qin State. It is also easy to destroy Qin State!But you, Han Xuwei, flattered the king and the queen mother because of your own selfishness, because you were afraid of Zhao Kuo's military exploits, and Qin Guo was lucky to escape the disaster. "

When Zhao Kuo said this, he leaned forward slightly, and said coldly to Han Xuwei: "You, Han Xuwei, are the real sinner of Da Zhao!"

At this moment, the light that erupted from Zhao Kuo's eyes was so amazing that Han Xuwei took a step back subconsciously.

Han Xuwei immediately came back to his senses, took out a will from his arms like lightning, and said loudly: "I have a will here, Zhao Kuo, do you want to disobey the order!?"

Han Xuwei was scared.

Just now, Han Xuwei felt extremely fierce murderous intent from Zhao Kuo's eyes!This made Han Xuwei finally come to his senses, and remembered what kind of person Wu Xinjun was in front of him.

In just three years, 40 Qin troops died at the hands of Zhao Kuo.

This number is much, much higher than the lifetime records of many so-called famous generals!Zhao Kuo can kill, but dare to kill.

Therefore, Han Xuwei, who originally wanted to continue to suppress Zhao Kuo, was flustered, and immediately chose to take out his will to protect himself.

Han Xuwei stared at Zhao Kuo, and shouted: "Zhao Kuo, you still don't accept the order?"
