Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 588

From this point of view, Zhao Dan felt that it was not really a loss to exchange a disabled Hedong for a half-disabled Guanzhong.

Of course, the premise is that Hedong can be taken down.

Although Li Mu's news gave Zhao Dan a lot of confidence, it also gave Zhao Dan a better understanding of the strength of Bai Qi, the famous Qin general who was known in the world and was called "God of War" by many people in later generations.

Lian Po was suppressed in the Battle of Changping, and Pang Nuan was also defeated in the second Battle of Hedong today. The Le Cheng drama and Xin are much inferior to Lian Po and Pang Nuan, not to mention Bai Qi's opponent.

So Zhao Dan calculated and calculated, and suddenly found that Bai Qi was really too strong.

But it's not that Zhao Dan has no one to fight against Bai Qi.

Li Mu.

From the current point of view, Li Mu seems to be the most reliable and most promising general of the Zhao Kingdom to confront Bai Qi head-on.

But the problem is that Li Mu is just over 30 years old now, and he is still very young by the standards of a general.

At this time, Li Mu met Bai Qi, who was so hot that he had reached the peak level of his commanding art. To be honest, Zhao Dan was a little bit upset.

In addition, although Li Mu has the experience of commanding the army independently, Li Mu commanded cavalry before. In the future, the infantry will definitely be the main force and the cavalry will be supplemented by the army. This is not the command method Li Mu is used to.

From this point of view, it may be better to let Li Mu command a few real large army battles first, and then let Li Mu fight against Bai Qi.

Zhao Dan thought about it, and suddenly felt that the current Bai Qi was like Wang Zang in Dou Dizhu. Once the Qin people threw it out, he had no good way to deal with it.

"It's a hell of a hell. Could it be that the widow just gave up Hedong County to the people of Qin for nothing?"

No.

Absolutely not.

Not to mention the identity of the grain production base of Hedong County, in terms of geographical location alone, Hedong County is extremely important to any of the Qin and Zhao countries.

If Qin State gets Hedong County, then Zhao State’s threat to Qin State’s Guanzhong will be greatly reduced, and even Qin State can start to threaten the two counties of Hetao and Shuofang in the northwest of Zhao State.

And if Zhao Guo holds Hedong County in his hands, then Qin Guo Guanzhong will be directly exposed to the soldiers of Zhao Jun. The people of Qin Guo must invest heavily in Hexi to prevent Zhao Jun from advancing westward. What happened to the two counties of Hetao in the country of Zhao?

If you lose the East River, Hetao and Shuofang will not be guaranteed, and if you win the East River, the Qin State will not be able to move half a step.

This is not Zhao Dan's own judgment, but a common opinion formed by the wisdom of dozens of military staff officers gathered by Zhao Jun's staff headquarters.

In addition, the significance that Hedong County must protect lies in other aspects.

Relying on his understanding of history, Zhao Dan is keenly aware of one point, that is, now is actually the last and strongest wave of Qin's return.

Bai Qi is already in his 60s. Although he was not killed by Qin Wangji as in history, but in today's era, he is already an absolutely elderly person, and his life expectancy will not be too long.

Qin Wangji is dead, and Fan Sui is now dismissed from office. Once Bai Qi dies of old age, then the troika that once made Qin the most powerful country in the world will be completely disbanded.

Mingjun, virtuous ministers, and famous generals, once this kind of bug-like combination is disbanded, it will definitely have a great impact on Qin.

The Qin Prince Chu, who is about to succeed to the throne, is actually not highly rated in history at all, at best he can be regarded as a mediocre king.

Guys like Mi Chen, Cai Ze, and Wang Ling are also relatively ordinary courtiers and generals.

On the other hand, on the side of Zhao State, there are Lu Buwei as internal support in Qin State, and Lian Po and Li Mu are two famous generals who sit in charge. In the future, there will be Lu Buwei, Li Si, the Xiangbang of the Qin State in history, and Han Fei for the new generation, and there may be some monsters in the Huaxia Academy.

With these talents in hand, Zhao's future should be much brighter than Qin's.

So the problem now is very simple, that is, no matter what, we must push through the current wave.

As long as he withstood the desperate attack of the Qin people, and after Bai Qi was gone, Qin would never want to rise again.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Dan slammed his hand on the table in front of him, and said to the ministers of the Zhao State in a firm tone: "This time, even if the widow can beat the Zhao State The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and we must take Hedong County back from the hands of the people of Qin!"

Just as Zhao Dan and the officials of Zhao Guo were studying what price to use to persuade other countries to help Zhao Guo attack Qin, the third battle report was also sent.

"Hangu Pass has been conquered?" After Zhao Dan heard the news, the surprise on his face was actually greater than the surprise: "Wait, what's going on with Lianpo, didn't he say he was going to attack Anyi a while ago? ?"

Zhao Dan finally understood after reading the good news and pleading memorial written by Lian Po himself.

This Lian Po, in order to conceal his intentions, dare to lie to his own monarch!

Of course, this may not be a lie.

Because according to the letter, after Lian Po personally inquired and understood the terrain of the Zhongtiao Mountains, he confirmed that it was indeed very difficult for the army to pass through, and then he gave up his plan to take advantage of the back road and turned to attack. Guanzhong.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but have the urge to roll his eyes.

However, given that Lian Po had indeed conquered Hangu Pass at this moment, and had already begun to march towards Guanzhong, Zhao Dan did not take it too seriously.

As the saying goes, the generals are not subject to the orders of the emperor, as long as he can win this battle, Zhao Dan actually doesn't care whether Lian Po goes to Hangu Pass or Anyi, as long as he can win.

At the same time, the fourth letter arrived.

This is a reply letter from Xinzheng Han Wangran.

According to what Han Wangran said in his heart, one hundred thousand Han troops will soon attack Qin Wuguan under the leadership of Jin Fu. If Wuguan can be conquered, then the Han army will consider continuing to enter Guanzhong along Wuguan and cooperate with Zhao Jun in combat.

After seeing this, Zhao Dan's heart finally returned to his stomach.

Regardless of whether the fighting power of the [-] Korean troops is strong or not, it is good news for Zhao Guo.

Zhao Dan let out a long breath, and the smile gradually returned to his face.

Although the overall situation in the direction of Qin is still not optimistic, it is obviously too early to say who will win and who will lose.

Chapter 581 Dispute Again (Third Change)

Xianyang City.

Although the faces of many Qin ministers looked very calm, it must be admitted that there was an indescribable tension in the hall at the moment.

Yes, even if Li Mu chased Wang Yan all the way to Jingyang, which is only a day away from Xianyang, this hall has never been so nervous.

Because the Qin monarchs and ministers at that time knew very well that no matter how powerful Li Mu was, he could not capture Xianyang with more than 2 cavalry.

But now Hangu Pass has fallen, and Lian Po has come.

Once Lian Po came, the situation was completely different.

One must know that Lian Po has an army of [-] under his command, and this is an elite army that has just broken through Chen Cheng, the capital of Chu State.

Lu Buwei's voice echoed in the hall: "Prince, now we must, immediately, immediately discuss peace with the Zhao people, otherwise, once the Zhao people approach the city of Xianyang, then Xianyang will be in danger, and Great Qin will be in danger!"

Lu Buwei's words flashed across the entire hall like a thunderstorm, causing all the ministers of Qin State to look sideways at him.

To be honest, almost all the ministers of Qin State present looked down on Lu Buwei more or less in their hearts.
