Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 457

In this way, the war that lasted for several months and involved most of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period was at least temporarily over for Zhao Guo.

The reason why it is said to be a temporary end is because there is still a very important step that has not been completed.

This is of course the upcoming peace talks between Zhao Guo and Wei Guo.

Of course, if you put it a bit vulgarly, it can actually be regarded as Zhao Guo's bloodletting of Wei Guo.

Of course the winner will enjoy the benefits of victory, no?

"Since the brothers Wei Wuji and Wei Wangyu dare to betray the covenant with the widow, they must be prepared to pay the price. The widow must let the whole world understand that there is no good end for betraying the widow and Zhao Guo of!"

This is Zhao Dan above the Zhao State Council in Handan City.Words spoken in a firm tone.

This time, Zhao Guoda's court meeting was actually very lively.

Because it not only gathered the seven important ministers of Zhao State and many high-profile ministers in Handan City, but also the county guards of various places in Zhao State, the head of the northern frontier cavalry regiment, and the two ministries of Lin Hulou. The leaders and so on, basically cover all important figures in Zhao's military and political aspects.

After all, Handan City has been surrounded for so long, and has lost contact with the outside world for a long time, so there are many things that need to be restored, and there are many things that need to be re-communicated. This is definitely not a simple project.

In order to prevent some things from causing disputes and disputes between the central and local governments due to the isolation of these months, Zhao Dan simply called all the local leaders back.

After Zhao Dan set the tone for this meeting, the ministers of Zhao State rushed to speak.

"Your Majesty, since the State of Wei is so hateful, and now that Daliang City has been breached by the King's order Li Mu, why not send your troops south to destroy the State of Wei, as an example to others."

As soon as these words were uttered, many people immediately agreed with them.

After all, all the people present were from Zhao State, and they hated Wei State's treasonous behavior very much.

And now Daliang City, the capital of Wei State, has been breached, and the main force of Wei State led by Wei Wuji is now blocked by Li Mu and South Korean troops, and it is impossible to retreat to the territory of Wei State on the south bank of the Yellow River.

As long as Zhao Dan is willing, he can now let Lian Po and Li Mu send troops together to attack Wei Wuji who is in a dilemma.

Among them, Zhao Dan's two uncles, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, undoubtedly made the loudest clamor.

Needless to say, Zhao Sheng became the Xiangbang of the State of Zhao. He was in Handan City these days and was worried every day, and had to deal with a lot of trivial matters. Naturally, he hated the State of Wei utterly.

Even Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji can be regarded as Zhao Sheng's brother-in-law, but Zhao Sheng does not intend to give up this ruthless lesson, or even the excellent opportunity to destroy Wei.

Of course, not everyone is a fighter.

During this battle, Pang Nuan, who was in charge of Handan's defense, stood up and poured cold water on the main combatants.

"Now our soldiers have fought many battles and traveled long distances from Guanzhong to return to Handan. They must be exhausted. If they fight in such a state, can they really defeat Wei Wuji's troops?"

When Zhao Sheng heard this sentence, he was very unhappy, and immediately gave Pang Nuan a hard look: "Pang Qing, do you think that my great Zhao Xiongshi will be defeated by Wei Wuji now?"

Pang Nuan nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Arrogant soldiers must be defeated, Mr. Pingyuan. Although Wei Wuji retreated, the strength of the Wei army was not damaged. If Wei Wuji led the Wei army to fight to the death and our army was defeated, wouldn't it be true? Is it a disaster?"

It's not just Pang Nuan. Ju Xin, who served as Pang Nuan's deputy in this Handan defense battle, also stood up, and also took a clear-cut stand against continuing to send troops.

So the whole court immediately started a big debate.

Looking at the chaotic court in front of him, Zhao Dan couldn't help shaking his head weakly.

To be honest, there is still Zhao Dan, the monarch who can make up his mind. The Zhao Guochaotang has already become so noisy. Zhao Dan can't even imagine that in the western parliaments of later generations, there are members who are divided into many parties. Under the leadership of a strong leader, what a quarrel is like.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Dan cast his eyes on Lian Po who had been sitting by the side without speaking, and asked, "Wu Xinjun, in your opinion, is this battle going to be fought or not?"

Lian Po hurried back to participate in the great court meeting. Zhao Guo's main force was actually still in Shangdang County at this moment, and the deputy general Le Cheng led it to slowly advance eastward.

In any case, Lian Po is also the most capable general in Zhao Guo, even the most famous general in the entire Chinese world, and the most capable person in Zhao Guo.

Listen to the opinions of such professionals, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Lian Po seemed to be well prepared. After hearing Zhao Dan's words, he immediately stood up, saluted Zhao Dan, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this battle can be fought or not."

Chapter 451 Forget it, the widow is a pacifist (third update)

Upon hearing Lian Po's words, Zhao Dan couldn't help feeling the urge to roll his eyes.

Brother, if you talk like this, isn't that just nonsense?

Lian Po, ah Lian Po, I didn't expect you, an old boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to learn badly and know how to play routines!

The world is getting worse, people are not ancient!

So Zhao Dan stared at Lian Po indiscriminately, and continued to ask: "Then, please tell me, Mr. Wu Xinjun, what is the feasibility of beating Wei Wuji, and what is the feasibility of not beating Wei Wuji?"

Since the widow asked you Lian Po to advise, then you Lian Po should give the widow a good advice, don't try to say anything ambiguous.

After hearing Zhao Dan's questioning, Lian Po looked at Zhao Dan's accusatory expression again, and couldn't help showing a wry smile on the corner of his mouth. After hesitating for a while, he said, "My lord, although Wei Wuji still has more than [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, due to Daliang City It has already been destroyed, and the current Wei army must be full of enthusiasm, if it is handled properly, it will not be difficult to defeat it in a battle."

After hearing what Lian Po said, the other Zhao ministers who were present nodded their heads one after another, obviously agreeing with Lian Po's words.

Zhao Sheng even raised his head high, squinted at Pang Nuan in front of him, and snorted heavily, expressing his displeasure and contempt.

Pang Nuan remained expressionless, and was not angry because of Zhao Sheng's action.

On the contrary, Ju Xin, who was sitting next to Pang Nuan, seemed very dissatisfied with Zhao Sheng's provocation, and sneered.

Sitting at the top, Zhao Dan had a panoramic view of the small movements of these ministers, but he didn't pay much attention to them, but continued to ask Lian Po: "Mr. Wu Xin, what you said just now is the reason for fighting. In that case , then what is the reason for not being able to fight?"

Lian Po paused, and replied to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, although my generals and soldiers of Zhao have fought bravely for several months, after all, we have traveled long distances for several days, and there have been many battles in the middle. If Maoran goes to war with the Wei army, even if we can If you win, I am afraid that you will also injure the enemy by one thousand and yourself by eight hundred."

Zhao Bao on the side smiled softly, and said: "Mr. Wu Xin's words are wrong. Now Wei Wangyu has fallen into the hands of our country Zhao, and Wei Wuji is the only one left in Wei country as the mainstay. Once this person in Wei Wuji's hands If the army of Wei State is defeated again, then Wei State will be the fish on the chopping board, and Da Zhao can take all of Wei State's land. In this way, who else in the world is Zhao State's opponent?"

When Zhao Bao said these words, his whole body was impassioned, frothy, and in high spirits. Obviously, he couldn't wait to see the upcoming scene.

But Pang Nuan was obviously not so easily persuaded. He sneered and said, "The territory of Wei State is now very vast, comparable to that of Qi State. It is only under the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qin and Chu, and the population is hundreds of people. There are as many as ten thousand, which is not under my country of Zhao. How can such a big country be annexed immediately if it wants to annex it? Besides, if Mao annexes Wei country rashly, can other countries stand by and watch?"

Seeing that the two factions sometimes couldn't hold on to each other and wanted to quarrel immediately if there was a disagreement, Zhao Dan couldn't help but knocked on the table in front of him and said loudly: "It's okay, everyone be quiet."

The hall immediately became quiet.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Zhao Dan felt both a little headache and a little funny.

Looking at this posture, how come the officials want to fight, but the generals don't want to fight?

In the end, there was no result. All eyes were on Zhao Dan, waiting for Zhao Dan to make a decision.

Zhao Dan finally made a decision: "Since this is the case, then this battle should not be fought for the time being."

After all, in Zhao Dan's view, even if all the wars cease now, Zhao Guo has already won a complete victory.

For Zhao Guo, now he has obtained the Weihan Passage from Qin State, and has broken through Daliang City, the capital of Wei State, forcing Wei State to seek peace with Zhao State. preset goals.
