Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 410

Thinking of this, Wang Lu felt an uncontrollable anger in his heart.

"Wang Ling, Wang Ling, you idiot, do you really think that after you completely stand on Bai Qi's side, you can completely gain the trust of the king? You must know that your surname is Wang anyway, the king If you don't worry about me, will you really worry about you?"

It's a pity that it's impossible for Wang Lu to tell Wang Ling face to face with these thoughts in Wang Lu's mind. Even if he did, Wang Ling would not believe Wang Lu's words.

After all, for things like power, the emperor's family can kill each other, let alone the Wang family?

And in Wang Lu's mind, if the Wang family could be split because of the internal strife between Wang Lu and Wang Ling, then this must be what Qin Wangji would like to see, right?

Sitting there silently, Wang Yan seemed to have completely transformed into a statue.

After a long time, a faint sigh came out.

"Difficult, difficult!"

Chapter 4 A plan to kill Wei Wuji? (fourth more)

On this day, Zhao Dan received news from Guanzhong.

Looking at it, Zhao Dan slowly smiled on his tense face.

Judging from the current situation, Qin Wangji obviously did not expect Zhao Dan to have such a surprise soldier as Li Mu, so he was caught off guard all of a sudden, and he was completely passive.

As the saying goes, one mistake will lose all games. Although it is true that Qin Wangji has not yet reached the point of admitting defeat, Zhao Dan already feels confident that he should win the Guanzhong battlefield without a doubt.

One Li Mu plus one Lian Po, against the combination of Wang Lu and Wang Ling, it is simply crushing in terms of general ability.

Not only that, Zhao State is now stronger than Qin State in terms of national strength and combat effectiveness, coupled with the psychological factors brought about by successive victories in the two battles of Changping and Hedong. The probability of losing is almost infinitely equal to zero.

It's just that there are joys and sorrows.

Although the advantage of Zhao State on the Guanzhong battlefield is not small, the situation in Handan is not so optimistic.

Under the command of Wei Wuji, the Wei army has launched an extremely violent offensive against Pang Nuan's defense line for several days.

Since Pang Nuan didn't have the South Great Wall as a barrier at the moment, and it was too late to build a decent line of defense, so although he was struggling to support these days, the situation was getting worse day by day.

In the latest battle report, Pang Nuan has quietly hinted in the letter, euphemistically suggesting that it is time for Zhao Dan to consider giving up all the outer defense lines and stick to Handan.

Although it has been expected for a long time, when this moment is really coming, Zhao Dan still feels a little bored in his heart.

"If we had known this was the case earlier, maybe Wei Wuji shouldn't have been allowed to return to the Kingdom of Wei in the first place."

To be honest, Zhao Dan did have a little regret in his heart.

But soon Zhao Dan changed his mind and said: "But if it wasn't for Wei Wuji, then the Changping battle would not have been won, that's all, even if the widow pays off his favor."

For this regret in Zhao Dan's heart, Han Fei, who has been by Zhao Dan's side these days, has a different opinion.

From Han Fei's point of view, letting Wei Wuji return to the State of Wei may seem harmful to the State of Zhao at the moment, but in the long run, the benefits to the State of Zhao are far greater than the harm.

"Oh?" Zhao Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Han Fei, who was actually his own age: "Why did you say that?"

Han Fei stuttered, and it was a bit difficult to speak, so he talked for a long time before he stammered all he needed to say.

The root cause of this incident lies in Wei Wangyu.

Although it is said that Wei Wangyu still trusts Wei Wuji at the moment, it is because Wei Wuji's reputation in Wei State has plummeted because of the killing of Jin Bi, and he is no longer able to pose any threat to Wei Wangyu.

Since Wei Wuji was in charge of the position of Wei Guo Xiangbang these days, he vigorously promoted many reforms in Wei Guo, which made Wei Guo start to show signs of prosperity and strength, and took advantage of the fierce battle between Qin and Zhao in Hedong County. The Tao County of the State of Wei greatly enhanced the strength of the State of Wei.

Human beings have always been a very forgetful species. After Wei Wuji made such achievements, the people of Wei State quickly forgot Wei Wuji's bad deeds of murdering ministers before, and turned to affirmation and praise towards Wei Wuji .

This is actually very easy to understand. After all, in this chaotic Warring States period, whoever can make the country strong and the people can live a good life will be able to get the support of the people.

As for the reputation, what bad things you have done in the past, it doesn't matter at all!

In the final analysis, this is an era in which everyone, from the kings and princes down to the common people, is at risk. In such an era, talking about long-term and reputation is bullshit, and only the things in front of you are the most practical and The most valued by all.

So after such an operation, Wei Wuji's reputation now has not only risen again, but even far surpassed before.

Judging from Hu Yiwei's information, Wei Wuji's reputation is now so prosperous that it has even reached the point where "people in the world only know that there is Lord Xinling but not King Wei". Call on Wei Wuji, and then continue to attack and meet Wei Wangyu.

Zhao Dan listened thoughtfully, and couldn't help but said: "So, in fact, Wei Wangyu is already very afraid of Wei Wuji? But last time the widow used an opportunity to successfully help Duan Ganzi to take the position, but now Duan Ganzi It seems that it is still not able to become a climate."

The reason why Duan Ganzi is not successful is of course related to Wei Wuji's strong suppression of Duan Ganzi, but also because Wei Wangyu's support for Duan Ganzi is not firm.

Otherwise, once Wei Wangyu firmly supports Duan Ganzi, no matter how strong Wei Wuji is, he can't stop Duan Ganzi's re-emergence at all.

At this time, Miao Xian beside Zhao Dan suddenly interjected: "Your Majesty, in fact, I feel that it's not that Wei Wangyu is not afraid of Wei Wuji, it's just that Wei Wuji's power has unknowingly expanded to a level that even Wei Wuji Wang Yu didn't even dare to act rashly."

Zhao Dan gave Miao Xian a very surprised look, and said, "If you look at what Miao Qing said, wouldn't Wei Wuji have basically put Wei Wangyu aside?"

Miao Xian nodded, and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true. Today's political arena in Wei State is completely dominated by Wei Wuji's faction. Even if Wei Wangyu intends to suppress Wei Wuji, but under the pressure of many ministers who speak unanimously, how can he?" Can you not consider the opinions of the ministers?"

After Zhao Dan heard Miao Xian's words, his heart suddenly moved, as if he had grasped something.

Zhao Dan pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Miao Qing, Han Shizhong, I think this seems to be an opportunity!"

"Opportunity?" Miao Xian seemed puzzled, but Han Fei seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhao Dan tapped the table in front of him lightly with his fingers, with a thoughtful expression on his face, all the information began to be combined in his mind, and gradually, a plan took shape in Zhao Dan's mind.

It was at this time that Han Fei suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to offer. If it is used well, this, this plan may be able to get rid of Wei and Wei Wuji."

Zhao Dan laughed, and said: "To be honest, the widow just thought of a plan. If this is the case, then you will write it for the widow to read."

It was really hard to listen to Han Fei, so it's better to let him write it on bamboo slips.

Han Fei didn't talk nonsense, he wrote for a while, and then handed a bamboo slip with wet ink to Zhao Dan's hand.

Looking at Han Fei's strategy in front of him, Zhao Dan's eyes gradually lit up.

After reading it, the smile on Zhao Dan's face was completely uncontrollable, and finally he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Very good, very good. Han Shizhong's plan coincides with the widow's plan!"

Later that day, two messengers rode out from the palace city, carrying two urgent orders, and rushed towards the battlefield on the west bank of the Yellow River where Pang Nuan was located and the Julu battlefield where Ju Xin was located.

Although the two orders were given to two different people, they actually contained the same content.

Immediately abandon the current position and retreat to Handan!

Chapter 4 Soldiers approaching the city (first update)

For Zhao Dan's order, Pang Nuan and Ju Xin, the two Zhao Guo generals, of course obeyed unconditionally.

On the third day after Zhao Dan issued the order, Pang Nuan led his army to fight and retreat, and came to the east gate of Handan City.
