If the two sides really fight, Lian Po is certainly confident of winning, but even Lian Po himself must admit that Wei Wuji's chances of winning are actually not small.
So Lian Po didn't want to face Wei Wuji.
Of course, this is not to say that Lian Po is afraid of Wei Wuji, but that after successive victories, the old general has unknowingly carried a burden, a burden called "victorious in all battles".
And Wei Wuji is precisely the person who is most likely to break Lian Po's undefeated golden body in the entire Chinese world.
With the addition of all these factors, it seems very natural for Lian Po to want to conquer Qi State but not Wei State.
But don't look at Lian Po's speechless words from Zhao Sheng, but Lian Po also has allies, so Yu Xin immediately opened his mouth to save the situation.
"Mr. Pingyuan, then Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji are related by marriage to Mr. Pingyuan. Could it be that Mr. Pingyuan really wants to kill relatives so righteously?"
There is a strong hint in Yu Xin's words.
Zhao Sheng sneered when he heard the words, gave Yu Xin a hard look, and said, "You don't have to be so eccentric when you speak, and although Wei Wuji is indeed related to my wife by blood, since my wife married into my mansion The people of Zhao State, what they did was for Zhao Sheng and Zhao State, and they absolutely did not collude with Wei State in private!"
As he spoke, Zhao Sheng cupped his hands towards Zhao Dan, and said loudly: "If Your Majesty is willing, then I am willing to lead an army to conquer Wei State this time, so as to prove to Your Majesty my loyalty to Your Majesty!"
The corner of Zhao Dan's eyes twitched slightly when he heard this sentence, he shook his head and said: "Mr. Pingyuan, as the widow's right-hand man, is supposed to assist the widow in Handan City, how can he easily lead the army? Like these leaders Let’s leave it to generals like Wu Xinjun and Pang Qing.”
Of course, Zhao Dan has no doubts about Zhao Sheng's loyalty.
But for Zhao Sheng's ability to lead troops, Zhao Dan thinks it's better to forget it.
In Zhao Dan's view, if Zhao Sheng really wanted to lead Zhao's army to conquer Wei, then most likely he would suffer a huge defeat under Wei Wuji's hands.
Isn't this a gift?
Although Zhao Guo is strong now, it has not yet reached the point where he can casually send out [-] or [-] troops.
When Lian Po on the other side saw that Zhao Dan rejected Zhao Sheng, he immediately became happy, and hurriedly said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, as long as you give me one hundred thousand troops, I will definitely win Gaotang City for you!"
Gaotang City is one of the five capitals of the Qi State, and it is also the most important Qi State city on the Qi-Zhao border, so Lian Po's military order can be regarded as full of confidence.
Zhao Sheng became even more unhappy when he heard Lian Po's words, and immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, although it is said that Qi State is indeed an enemy of Zhao State in this war, Qi State is now weak and does not constitute anything at all. Threat, on the contrary, Wei Guo's betrayal this time almost caused Handan City to fall into the hands of Wei Guo people. Therefore, I feel that Wei Guo is the most threatening, and we should attack Wei Guo first."
Lian Po laughed loudly, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Mr. Pingyuan, have you forgotten that Wei Guo just ceded Yecheng? Without Yecheng, how can Wei Guo threaten Handan? Mr. Pingyuan's words are too much. Alarmist talk!"
After the quarrel between the two, you come and I blush, and the real anger has already been quarreled.
So when Zhao Sheng spoke this time, he was also very blunt: "Mr. Wu Xin's words are wrong. You must know that Wei Wuji of the Wei Kingdom is a man of great talent. Even if there is Yecheng, how do you know that Wei Wuji can't think about it?" Find other ways, use other conspiracies? Or we should get rid of Wei Wuji and Wei Guo as soon as possible, at least we can't let Wei Guo pose any threat."
After hearing this, Zhao Dan finally understood why Zhao Sheng would always insist on starting a war against Wei.
To put it bluntly, after these several wars, Zhao Sheng has realized Wei Wuji's talent and the importance of Wei Wuji to the Wei state.
So Zhao Sheng hoped to take advantage of Wei Guo's current momentum to overthrow Wei Guo directly, so that even if Wei Wuji had great talent, staying in a weak Wei country would be hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.
The quarrel between Zhao Sheng and Lian Po immediately sparked outrage among several Zhao ministers present. Zhao Bao, Yu Xin, Li Bo and others joined in the quarrel, each supporting their own allies .
The entire Longtai hall was noisy, and Zhao Dan was also disturbed by the quarrels of these ministers.
It was at this time that Zhao Dan's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a person who had never spoken a word.
This person is none other than Zheng Zhu, the great traveler of Zhao State.
Zhao Dan thought for a while and asked Zheng Zhu, "Zheng Zhu, in your opinion, which country should I attack?"
Zheng Zhu is also a professional diplomat anyway, and he might be able to say something that can inspire Zhao Dan from a diplomatic perspective.
The rest of the people shut their mouths when they heard Zhao Dan speak, and turned their eyes to Zheng Zhu.
After Zheng Zhu thought for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should attack Qi."
Zhao Dan asked, "Why?"
Pearl said to Zhao Dan: "There are two reasons why I suggest attacking Qi."
"Although Qi State is one of the most powerful countries in the world in name, Qi State has always been victorious in all battles by Lord Wu Xin. Therefore, if Lord Wu Xin leads his army to attack Qi State, it must be very easy to win. This is one of them."
"Qi Wangjian and Xiangbang, the king of Qi, defeated these two people. They are mediocre people. With these two people in power, Qi State will definitely be difficult to defeat our army of Zhao State. On the other hand, although King Yu of Wei is also a mediocre king, Wei State With Wei Wuji's great talent, it may lead to changes. Therefore, it is easy to win when attacking Qi, but it is also difficult to win when attacking Wei. This is the second."
"Based on these two points, I think it is the best policy to attack Qin Guofang."
After hearing these words, Zhao Dan nodded slightly.
To be honest, Zhao Dan's heart is actually more inclined to attack Qi, and besides what the ministers said just now, Zhao Dan has another reason.
Before that, Zhao Dan had already planned a plan against Wei Wuji. If troops were sent to attack Wei at this time, then Zhao Dan's plan would probably fail.
Now that Zheng Zhu's vote is added, the number of people who agree to attack Qi has become the majority.
So Zhao Dan stopped hesitating and made a decision logically.
"Since this is the case, then pass on the order to pay more attention to and collect information from the direction of Qi! The staff should come up with some plans, and these plans should come in handy by the beginning of next year's spring!"
Chapter 4 The Surprise Brought by Lu Buwei (Part [-])
Two days later, a grand banquet was held in Zhao's palace city.
The banquet this time was mainly for the envoys from Qin.
Don't look at how Qin and Zhao fell in love and killed each other in the past few years, fighting to the death, but at this dinner party, no matter whether it was Zhao Guojun or Qin's envoys, all of them were full of faces. The smile and the intimate expression when exchanging greetings are like old friends who haven't seen for many years, which can be said to fully express the hypocrisy of politicians.
Amidst the melodious music, groups of Zhao Guo dancers danced in the center of the hall.
Although these dancers are not wearing very revealing clothes, their dancing postures are very graceful, and the occasional spring light that is revealed inadvertently is even more memorable, and it feels refreshing to appreciate.
Zhao Dan drank the fine wine in his hand, and then smiled at Qin Guozheng envoy Yangquan Jun Michen who was sitting next to him: "Yangquan Jun, what do you think of the dances of these singers?"
Yangquan Jun Michen is a big shot in the state of Qin. Naturally, he has seen many beauties in his daily life.
But at this moment, any of these Zhao Guo dancers dancing in front of Mi Chen belong to the top of the mainland, and they can all be called stunning in the world. The shocking power brought by this bunch of beauties dancing in front of them is naturally very different.
Coupled with some hints ordered by Zhao Dan in advance, these Zhao Guo dancers always approach Mi Chen's seat unknowingly, showing all kinds of graceful styles towards Mi Chen, and even showing some beautiful scenery inadvertently, After drinking a few glasses of wine, Mi Chen, who was a bit above him, saw his eyes straighten.
But no matter what, Mi Chen is an out-and-out minister of the Qin State after all, someone who has seen big scenes, so she still has this bit of determination, and she won't make a fool of herself on the spot.
After hearing Zhao Dan's question, Mi Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have always heard that the Handan Dancer Girl is famous all over the world in terms of her voice, appearance, appearance and music. When I saw her today, the rumors are indeed true."
Zhao Dan laughed loudly, and said to Mi Chen: "Since Mr. Yangquan likes it, I will send ten dancers to Mr. Yangquan today, so that they will perform dances for Mr. Yangquan every day at Mr. Yangquan's mansion. I don't know Mr. Yangquan What do you think?"
When Mi Chen heard Zhao Dan's words, his brows were filled with joy, and he quickly got up and thanked Zhao Dan: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward."
In this era, women are actually just a kind of item in the eyes of the superiors, and Mi Chen is very attracted to these Zhao Guo beauties in front of him, so Zhao Dan's opening of the mouth made Mi Chen go along with the flow.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. On the other hand, the more important reason is that just now Zhao Dan told Mi Chen personally that as long as Zhao Zhu is willing to meet Zhao Dan in Mianchi and recognize Zhao's hegemony, then Zhao Dan You can maintain peace with Qin.
