"My lord, do you want to send the Qin envoy away?" Liu Ping asked.
"If he wants to leave, just leave. If he doesn't leave, forget it. Send someone to follow him and don't let him see the layout of the military camp." Zhao Kuo said.
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional Chinese virtue, and he would not go so far as to target an old man.
Of course, the premise is that the old man is interested.
"No." Liu Ping said.
"Where did the leading troops of Zhao Army arrive?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"The vanguard, led by the two generals Feng Ting and Jia Yan, has arrived outside Yicheng, but Bai Qi has deployed a defense line in the Yicheng-Gujiang area (it is said that Yicheng and Jiang are two people from the same place), and the two The general did not act rashly," Liu Ping said.
Zhao Kuo nodded. If it wasn't an accident, it must have been Jia Yan who held Feng Ting tightly.
"Commander, will our army go north next?" Jin Bi stood up and asked.
Jin Bi was defeated by two young generals Wang Jian and Qiang Yu a few days ago, which made Jin Bi suffer a lot of doubts. He now urgently needs a battle to prove himself.
"Our army is in full strength, there is no need to confront the Qin army head-on." Zhao Kuo shook his head.
Now that the main force of the Qin army has just withdrawn to the Yicheng and Fenshui areas, the guards in Anyi and Heshui areas are empty. As long as Zhao Kuo takes the opportunity to capture Anyi and cross the river, he can reach the Qin army's hinterland and even attack Xianyang. There is no need to go north and confront the Qin army's elite head-on. Even though the strength of the coalition he now leads has far exceeded Bai Qi, the possibility of defeating him is very high.
"Send people to coordinate with the Zhao army and build a new grain road. Then send orders to the two generals Lian Po and Le Yi to find a way to hold back the main force of the Qin army. Our army continues to attack Anyi." Zhao Kuo pointed at the map and said.
"Then let me, the Wei army, be the main force to attack Anyi." Wei Wuji took the initiative.
Anyi was once the capital of the Wei State. As a member of the Wei royal family, Wei Wuji had reason and necessity to personally lead his army to take it back.
…
"Within five days, three Jins defeated three cities." King Qin held the information and frowned, "Hasn't Shou Zhu seen Zhao Kuo yet?"
"Your Majesty, Shou Zhu has met Zhao Kuo...but...that boy was not fooled." Fan Ju looked bitter.
For some reason, since meeting Zhao Kuo, his strategy seems to have become difficult to work.
"But don't worry, Your Majesty. If Zhao Kuo doesn't fall for it, it doesn't mean that King Zhao won't fall for it. As long as King Zhao gives the order, no matter how big the territory Zhao Kuo conquers, he will have to retreat. When the time comes, we will snatch it back from Han Wei." .”
Fan Ju had a sinister smile on his face.
No matter how strong you, Zhao Kuo, are, you can forcefully reverse the Shangdang's crisis and even lead the Three Jins to conquer Sanchuan and Hanoi, but so what?
How was Le Yi back then?
"You say... can you send assassins to assassinate Zhao Kuo? Just like the assassins who assassinated King Liao back then." Qin Wangji suddenly asked, his eyes bursting with light.
There are many warriors in the Six Kingdoms who are not engaged in production. They often wander around the city and perform chivalrous acts of justice. They are called knights and righteous men...
These warriors can neither govern the country nor lead troops to fight, but the personal force of the best among them is not weaker than that of those famous generals, and may even exceed it. If sneak attacks are added...
"Zhao Kuo has been staying in the army, and the assassins may not be able to get close. But we can use this method to get rid of Zhao Kuo after he returns to Zhao State. Zhao Kuo will always be our Qin State's great enemy if he is not eliminated." Fan Jufu Shen said.
No matter how powerful the warrior is, it is impossible for him to reach the commander's camp and assassinate the commander in the midst of an army of hundreds of thousands. As for fighting, it is even more impossible. Under the suppression of the war cloud, a transcendent warrior cannot even fly.
"Immediately arrange for people to spend a lot of money to find strong men from the six countries. Find a few more, and don't be afraid of spending money." King Qin took pictures of several cases.
If the household registration system of the Qin State had not been too perfect, keeping everyone firmly tied to the fields, and missing many "strong men", he would not have spent a lot of money to search for them in the Six Kingdoms.
"I will make arrangements right now." Fan Ju leaned over and excused himself.
"Yes." King Qin nodded and continued to deal with government affairs.
After a moment, he suddenly asked: "What has the prince been doing these days?"
"Your Majesty, the prince arranged for people to go to the Kingdom of Zhao to pick up the prince and grandson a few days ago. After that, he stayed in the mansion to study with the teacher and almost never left the mansion." The eunuch stepped forward and said respectfully.
"What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said that the prince's illness is caused by congenital disease. If he is treated well, there will be no problem in living for another ten years." The eunuch said.
"Ten years... haha, ten years." King Qin smiled painfully. Doesn't that mean it is still possible to be ahead of him?
I have already tortured one prince to death, am I going to torture the second prince to death again?
"Send the medicinal materials that Bashu paid tribute to the prince. In addition, arrange for two imperial doctors to be stationed in the prince's residence, and then send people to the six countries to find famous doctors." King Qin waved his hand and said, then he hid his grief deep in his heart and continued to deal with it. memorial.
Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in the emperor's family. No matter how much he felt sorry for his son, he had to endure it. Everything is about national affairs.
"No." The eunuch slowly retreated.
…
Zhao State, Handan.
After Zhao Kuo defeated the Qin army in the river, the siege of Shangdang was lifted, and Zhao Jun's food and grass were provided by Wei and South Korea. The heavy burden on King Zhao disappeared instantly.
King Zhao seems to have bottomed out. If there was still a trace of a wise king before, now he has completely developed in the direction of a faint king. He is full of sex and pleasure every day, and has a wide harem, and his life is becoming more and more comfortable.
Recently, the beauties in the harem may not be able to arouse his interest. King Zhao even imitated King Wei and raised a male favorite, named him Lord Jianxin, and took him with him wherever he went.
"Lou Qing still knows me." In the main hall, King Zhao hugged Jianxin Jun with one hand and raised his glass to Lou Chang with the other hand, and said happily.
If Lou Chang hadn't introduced Jian Xinjun to him, he wouldn't have known that he had such a preference.
Ever since Mr. Jianxin opened the door to a new world for him, King Zhao now gets a headache every time he sees the charming concubines in the harem.
"As long as the king likes it, these are what ministers should do. As a minister, you should think about the monarch day and night, instead of saying things that the monarch doesn't like to hear, doing things that the monarch doesn't like, and making the monarch angry." Lou Chang Said respectfully.
"Well said, in the entire Zhao Kingdom, you are the only one who can share the worries of me." King Zhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he looked at the empty hall.
Yu Xin had not been in the palace for a long time. It was said that he had been studying at home recently. After Xunzi returned to Handan, he often visited Yu Xin, and the two somehow got together.
Lin Xiangru was still recovering from his injuries at home. After the four kingdoms united and the news of the victory on the front came, Lin Xiangru's condition miraculously improved and he was not dead for the time being.
Zuo Shi Chulong had already asked King Zhao to resign, but King Zhao did not agree, so Xianfu stayed at home to take care of his grandson.
Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng also paid no attention to political affairs and stayed behind closed doors. He held banquets and drank with guests all day long.
…
In the past, the scene where the monarch and his ministers worked together to fight against foreign enemies has disappeared in time. Now only King Zhao and Lou Huan are left in the bustling hall...
Oh, and Mr. Jianxin.
