Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 378

Historically, this god of cavalry was able to lead a bunch of miscellaneous fishes beaten by Qin to defeat the Great Qin Tiejun before Zhao was about to destroy the country, maintaining his existence of complete victory over Qin.

Zhao Dan is really curious, what kind of brilliance can Li Mu shine after having the blessing of heavy armored cavalry?

Thinking about it is really exciting!

Chapter 373 Rewards and checks and balances for Pang Nuan (second update)

In the days that followed, a series of good news came one after another.

As expected, Lejian didn't brag. After leaving Handan, he led several relatives to the front line day and night, and successfully wooed the captives with his eloquent tongue and promises of promotion and fortune. The middle and senior generals and officers of Yan State.

Winning over these generals and officers who led the troops, in fact, also win over the one hundred thousand Yan army.

As a result, most of the [-] Yan army, except for a very small number of loyalists, have changed from captives to righteous teachers who will help the country of Yan and vow to overthrow the puppet king Ji An of Yan.

When Queen Yan's mother and son arrived later, one hundred thousand Yan troops went out of the camp for ten miles to welcome the Queen Mother and King Ke of Yan. Judging from the secret report presented to Zhao Dan by Hu Yiwei's spies, it was quite spectacular.

The situation has changed to this point, and it is almost obvious who wins and who loses.

As a result, those fools in Yan Kingdom made choices one after another. Almost within a few days, most of Yan Kingdom changed their schedules and became loyal supporters of Queen Mother Yan and King Yan.

Pang Nuan led nearly 30 Zhao Qiyan allied forces to the north, and surrounded Wuyang, the last stronghold of Gong Zi'an and Rong Yan, the capital of Yan State.

After being besieged for nearly a month, dozens of ministers of Yan State in Wuyang City joined forces to conspire to open the gates of Miyagi and Guocheng at the same time in one night, welcoming the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms, Queen Mother, and King Ke of Yan into the city.

Rong Yan died in battle, and the false king Ji An committed suicide, and this battle for the throne came to an end.

Zhao Dan looked at the secret report in front of him and nodded repeatedly, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face.

You must know that in this war, Zhao Guo has gained a lot.

First of all, King Ke of Yan was supported and established, which relieved a trouble in the future.

Secondly, after this war, Wuyuan City, which was originally included in the State of Yan because of the rebellion of Fu Bao and others, also returned to the State of Zhao.

In the end, because Zhao Jun actually undertook the most critical combat mission, Qi Wangjian also sensibly ceded the most fertile [-]-mile land among the [-]-mile land, that is, Gecheng, to Zhao State.

If you calculate carefully, this battle is actually quite profitable.

Zhao Dan put down the battle report in his hand, and smiled at Pang Nuan in front of him: "General Pang led the army to victory this time, and made great contributions to the widow and the country of Zhao, so the widow named you Shangqing and promoted you to the position of chief minister. His status is below that of the Great General Lian Po, and he can attend court meetings as a nonvoting delegate for all important military and state affairs."

Pang Nuan was recalled by Zhao Dan's order.

Since most of the troops who fought this time were the frontier troops from the five northern counties, they were almost disbanded after returning to the territory of Zhao State. The remaining [-] central troops just let them slowly march back to Handan.

Pang Nuan was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Dan's award, and bowed his head to pay homage: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

The reward for Pang Nuan this time is indeed a big deal.

First of all, Shangqing's title is only one step away from becoming a king. Considering that Lian Po is the only one in Zhao Guofei's public clan, this Shangqing's title is actually considered to be the pinnacle.

Secondly, the position of this great Sima is equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief of Zhao's army. His status is only under Lian Po, and he is the number two figure in the military.

What's more important is the last right to participate in military and state affairs, which means that Pang Nuan has successfully entered the core leadership team of Zhao Guo, and can discuss with Zhao Dan just like Zhao Sheng, Lian Po and other five important officials. Military affairs.

In this way, Zhao Guo once again formed a pattern of six giants.

After the courtiers swore allegiance and the king encouraged him, Pang Nuan happily left.

Zhao Dan looked at Pang Nuan's leaving figure with a smile on his face, and after a while he said to another person who was still in the hall: "Han Fei, do you understand why the widow did this? "

Of course, the only one who was qualified to meet Zhao Dan with Pang Nuan was Zhao Guozhong Han Fei, who Zhao Dan had sent to Pang Nuan's army as the "chief of staff".

After listening to Zhao Dan's words, Han Fei thought about it, and said, "Hui, back to the king, from my point of view, the king's, this move should be for, for check and balance."

"Check and balance?" Zhao Dan's expression changed slightly after hearing Han Fei's words, and he said with a smile, "Who checks and balances?"

Han Fei hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "General Lian Po."

Zhao Dan stared at Han Fei for a while, until he saw cold sweat start to break out on Han Fei's face, and then he suddenly smiled and said: "Sure enough, he is indeed the servant appointed by the widow, and he can see the widow's thoughts at once. "

To be honest, although Pang Nuan did win two battles, the opponents of these two victories, the Xiongnu and the Kingdom of Yan, were not considered too strong opponents, so the convincing power of this victory is actually relatively limited.

The reason why Zhao Dan suddenly mentioned Pang Nuan among the six giants was to change the situation where the Lianpo family dominated Zhao's military.

Yes, we all know that Lian Po is loyal and has no second thoughts about the Zhao family, but as a monarch, there must be necessary checks and balances.

Lian Po's personality has always been that he is very brainy when he is sure of things. This is from the history of the Battle of Changping. King Zhao Xiaocheng issued dozens of military orders to urge Lian Po to refuse to fight. In the end, Zhao Xiaocheng It can be seen that Wang had to replace Zhao Kuo to realize his intention to play.

So if the army is full of Lian Po's direct descendants, if one day Lian Po feels that a certain battle is not easy to fight, and Zhao Dan insists on fighting, the result may be that the entire military will secretly follow Lian Po, What kind of tricks are you playing with Zhao Dan?

This is absolutely intolerable to Zhao Dan.

In fact, King Zhao Yuxiang, the son of King Zhao Xiaocheng, also used such a set of checks and balances in history, but King Zhao Yuxiang's methods were not good enough, which led to Lian Po's final departure from Wei State, which can be said to be a lose-lose ending.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Dan, who keeps in mind the four words of taking history as a mirror, will naturally not go back to the old path of failure.

The reason why Lian Po in history left was because King Zhao Yuxiang wanted to use Le Cheng to replace Lian Po's position as a general, so that Lian Po could not be the No. 1 in the military, so Lian Po angrily left Zhao of.

So Zhao Dan's method this time is very simple, you Lian Po will continue to be your general, the commander-in-chief of Zhao and the leader of the army, no problem, I have no opinion at all.

But as the saying goes, you must know how to reciprocate. Since you are the boss of Lianpo, you can't have any objections to being named deputy commander in chief and number two in the military, right?

In this way, a preliminary check and balance situation is formed.

This can actually be said to be a very simple imperial power technique.

But even so, Han Fei was able to guess what Zhao Dan was thinking at once, and Zhao Dan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Zhao Dan is a time traveler with the memory of two lifetimes, so he is so proficient in this kind of power, but Han Fei is just an unfavorable Korean son, but he can see the truth in it all at once through his own thinking. This is not easy.

This kid is indeed a super master who claims to combine the strengths of legalism, technique, and power into one.

On a whim, Zhao Dan suddenly wanted to continue the Han Feiyi exam.

So Zhao Dan continued to ask: "Han Fei, in your opinion, how is the widow's technique of check and balance? Is there still room for improvement?"

Han Fei thought for a while before answering: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of my ministers, the means of the King are wonderful, and if they are wonderful, they are wonderful, but there is still one or one thing that can be completed."

"Oh?" Zhao Dan raised his brows, and looked at Han Fei in front of him with a little surprise: "Then in your opinion, how should I make up for it?"

Han Feidao: "General Le Cheng of the Southern Army has always been extremely loyal to Da and Your Majesty. If, if you wait until Le Cheng makes meritorious service, Da and Your Majesty should consider and consider making Le Cheng also participate in the court. Discussion, the right to discuss the state and state affairs."

Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he slapped his thigh and laughed loudly.

"Seconds, seconds!"
