At first, Wang Jian had this idea.
That is to train Zhao Shu to become the next cauldron bearer among the elite men of Great Qin.
At least in Wang Jian's opinion, Zhao Shu is far more reliable than Li Xin, and he is also a little younger.
However, Zhao Shu became a member of the royal family with the surname Ying, and was not the biological son of Qin Wangzheng, so everything changed.
Today, he doesn't have many people to choose from.
Among the outstanding generals in the current Qin army, Wang Ben, Meng Tian and Li Xin are now joined by Li Mu and Zhao Shu.
However, he has been in charge of the Great Qin Ruishi for so long, and neither he nor Qin Wangzheng will allow Wang Ben to be the next person in charge.
At least Meng Tian was talented enough, but Meng was considered a retainer with the surname Ying, and in a sense, he was not suitable to be in charge of the elite men of the Qin Dynasty.
And Li Mu is old.
At this stage, he can choose only Zhao Shu and Li Xin, and Zhao Shu suddenly became the Qin royal family.
Therefore, Wang Jian had no choice but to take Li Xin with him and train him, hoping to hone his sharpness and pride.
Putting away the thoughts in his heart, Wang Jian led the army and marched towards Fan Yang.
For a time, the wind and clouds surged over Yan Di.
Wang Jian sent out troops with great fanfare and momentum, unlike Zhao Shu who was silent at all.
Therefore, before Wang Jian arrived outside Fanyang City, the news had already reached the capital of Yan Kingdom.
thistle.
"Your Majesty, Qin general Wang Jian led an army of 200,000 to invade the Fanyang area. At the same time, Li Mu led his army to advance to Shanggu."
Ju Wu's eyes were full of worry, and he knew in his heart that the eight-hundred-year-old Yan foundation was in danger.
On the throne, King Yan Xi looked ugly and turned to Ju Wu, saying, "Prime Minister, what do the two kings of Qi and Chu think?"
"Your Majesty, no clear news has come from Chu State, but King Qi has clearly rejected it."
Ju Wu's face turned pale: "The King of Qi clearly told the old minister that Yan's assassination of the King of Qin was a big taboo..."
"Your Majesty, given the current situation, even Qi Chu cannot be trusted!"
Hearing this, King Yan was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said: "Qi Chu can't be relied on, who else can the Yan State rely on now?"
With one sentence, Ju Wuwen was stunned.
Throughout the Central Plains, Han and Zhao had been destroyed by the Qin Dynasty, and the remaining Wei State had no time to take care of itself. If Qi Chu did not take action, the Yan State could only rely on itself.
With this thought, Ju Wu said to King Yan: "Your Majesty, the current Yan country can only rely on ourselves."
"Haha, on our own?"
King Yan smiled bitterly, and the laughter was full of ridicule: "The current situation, General Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty, Prince Shu of the Qin Kingdom, and Li Mu, Lord Wu'an of the Zhao Kingdom, all came together."
"Who should be the general of Yan State?"
"Are you able to fight against these three people and win the war?"
Hearing this, Ju Wu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the country of Yan is in danger. I believe that I should regard your Majesty as a general and the whole country as a soldier to fight to the death."
"Other than that, we have no chance."
"good."
After a while, King Yan was overjoyed and said decisively: "I have sent the king's order to gather troops to fight Wang Jian."
"I will serve as the general to fight against Li Mu, and the prime minister will serve as the general to fight against Wang Jian."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Ju Wu couldn't help but sigh. If he can become the Prime Minister of Yan, he is naturally a first-class smart person.
I knew very well what King Yan Xi had planned. Wasn't it just to fight against Li Mu and withdraw into Liaodong if there was a chance?
Ju Wu didn't care about this situation.
He had served as the prime minister of Yan for so long and was the teacher of Prince Dan of Yan. He had long been determined to die for the country of Yan.
What made him a little unhappy was that at this juncture, Yan Wangxi still had no determination to die.
"Your Majesty, I am going to mobilize the troops. I hope your Majesty will win the battle."
At this moment, Ju Wu saluted King Yan Xi and then walked out of the palace.
Watching Ju Wu leave, King Yan couldn't help but sigh. He was naturally aware of Ju Wu's disappointment, but he didn't want to die!
Everyone wants to survive, let alone a king like him.
Accustomed to enjoyment, glory and wealth, the bravery and ambition in his bones have long been smoothed away by wine and sex, and washed away by the years.
"The king's order has been passed down. The Qin people have invaded our country, Yan. We must gather all the young men in the country to form an army to resist the Qin people."
"promise."
........
It's dark.
Zhao Shu and his party have arrived at the bank of Yishui. The equipment camp has been fully prepared and they are waiting for Zhao Shu's order to cross the river.
"Sir, there is news from Heibingtai that the general has sent troops and his sword is pointed at Fan Yang. At the same time, there is news from the dark side that King Yan has issued an order for the whole country to mobilize troops."
A flash of worry flashed in Yinwei's eyes, and he turned to Zhao Shu and said, "At the same time, King Yan Xi will serve as the commander-in-chief of a large army and go to Yuyang."
"Ju Wu serves as the commander-in-chief of the army and is consolidating Jicheng."
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Zhao Shu turned to Yinwei and said, "Have you figured out the situation in Zhuo County clearly?"
"Sir, Zhuoxian County is the gateway to Jicheng. There are 50,000 elite Yan troops. The leader is Le Cheng, the queen of Le Yi."
Yinwei handed the compiled information to Zhao Shu and said, "This man comes from a famous family and has considerable attainments in the art of war."
"Therefore, he has been guarding Zhuoxian County."
"It's really tricky when you come from a famous family."
Zhao Shu smiled and nodded. He had to admit that being a famous person in this era was by no means a derogatory term in later generations.
In the Warring States Period, being from a famous family meant that one had a good family background and was first-class in both knowledge and ability.
What's more, successfully guarding Zhuoxian County, he was almost the guard general of Hangu Pass in Da Qin.
If Cheng is a waste, the Yan court will not let him control an army of 50,000 to guard Zhuoxian.
Taking a sip of water, Zhao Shu suddenly raised his head and said, "Does this person have any obvious shortcomings?"
"Sir, Chengcheng is not yet married, and his family is in Yandu. His only shortcoming is his good wine."
"The bitter cold in Yan's land is not a disadvantage."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded, and then shook his head: "As a Yan person, his good drinking is naturally not a shortcoming, but as a military general, his good drinking is his biggest shortcoming."
Taking the compiled information from Yinwei's hand, Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "Let the soldiers eat, remember not to use open flames."
"After two watches, we will start crossing the river."
"Let the equipment battalion pass first, then let the three thousand cavalry go to guard, and then cross the river on a large scale."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Yinwei turned around to issue military orders. Zhao Shu took advantage of the sunset to look through the information on the silk book.
After a while, Zhao Shu showed a smile. In his view, success does not mean that there are no flaws, but that there are too many flaws.
With this thought, Zhao Shu began to eat dry food, and after a while, he began to deduce the battle to attack Zhuoxian in his mind.
In this battle, he must be absolutely sure.
After all, only the fall of Zhuoxian could shock the whole country of Yan.
