Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 366

Without any hesitation, General Lian Po went out to Zhao Dan and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to conquer Yan. All I need is for you to give me one hundred thousand troops, and I will surely return home victorious!"

When Lian Po said these words, he was full of confidence.

In fact, not only Lian Po himself, but everyone present, including Zhao Dan, has full confidence in the current number one general in Zhao's military.

Among other things, let's just talk about one fact, that is, Lian Po is the only one who has maintained an undefeated record among all the generals who are still established and able to lead the army!

General Changsheng!

Even the well-known Lord Wu'an of the State of Qin, Bai Qi, failed to do this because of the Battle of Changping.

And it is precisely because of the Battle of Changping that, except for the old Qin people who stubbornly believed that Bai Qi was the real number one in the world, the other six Shandong countries now all recognize Lian Po as the number one general in the world!

With this invincible No. [-] general making a move, what else is there to worry about?

But Zhao Dan thought about it, but unexpectedly rejected Lian Po's request.

"I am very pleased that the general has such enthusiasm for fighting for the country. But from my point of view, this mere country of Yan is just a weak chicken. How can we use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?

Moreover, the general has just finished campaigning in Hedong. If the widow ordered the general to continue to lead the army to attack Yan, wouldn't it make the world think that the Zhao country of the widow has no one who can lead the army except the general?

So the widow thinks that this time the general should rest well in Handan City, so there is no need to go out to fight. "

Zhao Dan's words were high-sounding. Although Lian Po wanted to refute, he couldn't find any reason to refute for a while, so he could only sit down sullenly.

Seeing Lian Po's gloomy expression, Zhao Dan felt a little embarrassed. After all, generals like this who want to go to the battlefield when there is a battle, and who can always win the battle, are all treasures. .

But no matter what, Zhao Dan really didn't want Lian Po to go out this time.

After all, Lian Po is not the only general in Zhao Guo, like Pang Nuan, Le Cheng, Ju Xin, etc., all of them are famous generals in history books.

The abilities of these generals may indeed not be stronger than Lian Po, but they must not be too weak.

As a monarch, Zhao Dan must consider this kind of balance.

If Lian Po was allowed to fight all battles and get all the credit, what would other people think?

Wouldn't it be even worse if Pang Nuanle took advantage of these guys and defected to another country because they had no chance to show off?

If it was against a powerful enemy like the Qin State, then Zhao Dan would definitely not think so much, and let Lian Po directly.

After all, whether Qin can win or not is a matter of opinion, and Lian Po, the strongest and most confident general, must be dispatched.

But right now, they are only playing against a weakling like Yan Guo. If they don't give others a chance to show off, then it really can't be justified.

Lian Po seemed to understand this truth himself, so although the old general was obviously not convinced by Zhao Dan's decision, he did not get angry in public.

To know the character of this guy Lian Po, as long as he believes in something, he will definitely say it in public, regardless of whether you are a king or not.

Seeing that Lian Po stopped talking, Zhao Dan coughed and continued to speak: "The widow has already decided, this time Pang Nuan will be the main general, and Le Cheng will lead the [-] central army to go north to support Pang Nuan!"

As soon as Zhao Dan's decision was made, several ministers of Zhao Guo did not have any objections.

After all, apart from Lian Po, Pang Nuan and Le Cheng are the two most outstanding generals in Zhao Guo today.

Mr. Pingyuan Zhao Sheng thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, the frontier army in Pang Nuan's hands is only 5 people, and Le Cheng's [-] central army is only [-] in total. Is it too small?" ?”

Zhao Dan waved his hand indifferently, and said: "I know the fighting power of the people of Yan State. From my point of view, 20 elite soldiers are enough to deal with the [-] soldiers of Rong Yan!"

After a pause, Zhao Dan continued: "Furthermore, land measurement and rewards are still being carried out in Hedong County, and most of the meritorious soldiers of the Central Army are still in Hedong County. so many soldiers and horses?"

Zhao Dan's words reminded all the ministers of Zhao Guo.

Although it is true that the Central Army of Zhao State is now a full-time soldier, they should eat and live in the barracks on weekdays, but this time it is a special case. Most of the soldiers of the Central Army stayed in Hedong County, leading the land eagerly. Woolen cloth.

In fact, because the spring plowing was about to start after the Waking of Insects, Zhao Dan specially gave these soldiers of the Central Army a half-month leave and allowed them to return to the Handan camp after half a month.

It is precisely because of this that there are actually not many Central Army soldiers left in Handan City of Zhao State at this time, only about 3 people.

The reason why there are more than 3 people left is not that Zhao Dan specially stayed. Most of these 3 people did not make meritorious service in the First Battle of Hedong, so there is no land to divide, and a small part of them are meritorious. But he did not accept the land of Hedong County as a reward.

From the more than 3 people, 2 people were transferred to support Pang Nuan in the north. This is already the maximum that Zhao Dan can do.

After all, Handan is the capital of the State of Zhao, why should we save some elites to defend it?

But even so, Zhao's ministers are obviously still a little worried about the nearly three-to-one ratio between the enemy and ourselves.

Zhao Dan smiled again when he heard the words, and said: "Did you forget that Qi State still has 17 soldiers and horses! I will write to Linzi later, and ask Qi Wangjian to send an order to Kuang Liang, ordering Kuang Liang to lead the [-] Qi soldiers." Jun and Pang Nuan formed a coalition army. In this way, the number of the coalition army has reached [-], which is almost the same as the army of Yan State, so you should not have to worry about it, right?"

Yu Xin said worriedly: "Your Majesty, it is very inconvenient for the two countries to communicate and command each other. If Rong Yan catches this point, I am afraid that I will suffer a defeat in this battle."

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "Yu Qing is too worried. The widow has already ordered Han Fei to lead the staff office to go north. If the widow is right, with the command of the two generals Pang Nuan and Le Cheng, plus With the help from the top staff office, our country, Zhao, has at least an [-]% chance of winning this battle. You don't have to worry too much, and we will handle it accordingly!"

Although none of the important ministers of the Zhao State present knew why Zhao Dan was so confident, they still respectfully took orders: "Wei!"

In fact, Zhao Dan still has a hidden move that he didn't say.

This dark move is none other than the former important minister of the Yan Kingdom, who is now in Handan's Chang Kingdom.

You must know that the father and son Le Yi and Le Jian have taken root in Yan State for decades, and the Le family has very deep connections in Yan State.

It is precisely because of this deep network that it should not be too difficult to find a few in-laws in the army of Yan State.

With Pang Nuan and Le Cheng, the generals who have defeated the Yan Kingdom in history, tens of thousands of elite Zhao soldiers, and the support of the Le clan, Zhao Dan feels that if he can lose this battle , that is really a ghost!

Chapter 361 How to Resist Zhao?Cai Ze has his own ideas (second update)

Xianyang Palace.

Sitting high on the throne, King Ji of Qin stared at the important officials of Qin State in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Now Zhao State is rampant, and even colluded with Qi State to attack Yan State, what do you think I should do?"

Although Yan State did not participate in the last battle of Hedong County because of the serious illness of King Yan, the current Yan State is still an ally of Qin State, and the covenant between the two parties has not been broken.

Not only that, but now after being defeated by Zhao Guo twice in a row, Qin Guo has regarded Zhao Guo as a life and death enemy, and they hate Zhao Guo very much.

Under such circumstances, what Zhao Guo wants to do is of course what Qin Guo must destroy.

According to the latest information, Zhao Guo has officially joined the battlefield and started to join forces with Qi State to attack Yan State.

Otherwise, with Qi Wangjian's personality, it would be impossible to suddenly go to support the Queen Yan and the son Ke who was only two or three years old.

Everyone knows that Queen Yan was born with Zhao Dan's mother!

It is worth mentioning that, compared with the past, there is one less familiar figure in this hall today, but one more strange figure.

Needless to say, this missing familiar person is the former Prime Minister of the State of Qin, Fan Sui.

Now Fan Sui has resigned from the position of Xiangbang and returned to the fief Lantian.
