Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Page 554

General Wang Jian of the State of Qin, who had been silent for a long time, made an exception and spoke at this time.

"When Zhao Kuo faced us Daqin all the time, there were actually people holding him back behind his back.

Now these people who are holding back their legs must have been cleaned up by Zhao Kuo, so what our Daqin will usher in in the future is a Zhao Kuo who has no reservations and can fully exert all his strength. "

After hearing Wang Jian's words, the faces of all the Qin monarchs and ministers present became more and more ugly.

Zhao Kuo was already beaten to death by beating a Zhao Guoren who kept pulling his hind legs. If he really met a Zhao Kuo who was attacking with all his strength, how could Qin Guo play next?

Ying Zichu took a deep breath, and suddenly slapped the table in front of him viciously.

"No, this matter can't go on like this. We have to think of something. We must not let Zhao Kuo become the supreme ruler of Zhao State so smoothly!"

Ying Zichu was really impatient this time!

Chapter 1048: Li Mu's Decadence and Reinvigoration

Shouchun, Chu Palace.

Sitting on the throne, King Chu couldn't help being stunned when he heard the report from the people below.

"Zhao Kuo has actually put King Zhao under house arrest and seized the highest power?"

There was silence in the hall for a while, the monarchs and ministers of Chu State looked at each other in blank dismay, and were a little bit uncontrollable by the shock of this news.

Finally, Jingyang spoke first: "The old man has known for a long time that Zhao Kuo has a traitor in his head. He is indeed an unreliable person, a traitor!"

As soon as Jingyang opened his mouth, the other ministers also came back to their senses, and they all attacked Zhao Kuo extremely severely.

The King of Chu watched this scene with flickering eyes.

You know, King Chu is also a great king just like King Zhao. King Zhao's experience now inevitably makes King Chu start to worry. Will something similar happen in Chu?

Fortunately, at least for now, this kind of situation should not happen in Chu State.

Jun Yin Chunshen, the order of Chu State, also spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, the key now is, what position does Chu State take on this matter?"

Chunshen Jun's words also reminded the King of Chu that for the Chu State, it is meaningless to condemn this kind of thing. The real key is whether the Chu State will take action next.

Compared with the indecision in the past, the king of Chu made a decision almost without thinking this time: "We must not let Zhao Kuo succeed in usurping the throne so easily, we must send troops to attack Zhao Kuo severely.

Even if you can't defeat Zhao Kuo, you must let Zhao Kuo's internal rebellion occur, and Zhao Kuo will fall into the dilemma of countering the rebellion everywhere! "

As soon as King Chu's words fell, he immediately got the approval of many ministers of Chu State headed by Jingyang.

Jingyang said very excitedly: "Your Majesty, the veteran is willing to lead the troops to Zhao Guo. This time, Zhao Kuo must pay the price!"

Chunshen Jun hesitated for a moment, and also said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is also willing to lead the troops to Zhao Guo. This time, the veteran minister will be more prudent and delay Zhao Kuo's troops, so that the internal rebellion in Zhao State will be ignited." Even more vigorous!"

In the last war, Lord Chunshen handed over his general to Jingyang, which dealt a big blow to his prestige in the political arena. Since the King of Chu wanted to send troops this time, Lord Chunshen would naturally not Maybe the position of the general will be given up again.

Hearing this, Jingyang couldn't help snorting, feeling very unhappy.

Seeing this, the King of Chu hesitated a bit.

After a long while, the King of Chu said: "How about this, Lord Chunshen will be the main general and Da Sima Jingyang will be the deputy general.

I know that the two of you have always had some conflicts, but this time it is about the future of our Chu country. I hope you two can cooperate sincerely and not let me down! "

The King of Chu has already spoken to this point, and it is naturally impossible for Chunshen Jun and Jingyang not to give the King of Chu face, and said in unison: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will understand!"

After finishing speaking, the two sides looked at each other. Although there was a bit of flame in the eyes, it was not as intense as before.

It's not that they don't want to fight, but these two know that when facing a powerful enemy like Zhao Kuo, they must unite.

Moreover, this opportunity is very rare. Zhao Kuo showed his flaws because of seizing power, and Zhao Guo is not as powerful as before.

If at this time due to internal strife and missed the excellent opportunity to attack Zhao Kuo and Zhao Guo, that is the real fool.

The news of Chu's dispatch of troops was not hidden from Zhao's envoy Li Si who was in Shouchun City.

It can be said that Li Si's mood in the past two days has been very ups and downs. When Li Si received Zhao Kuo's "death" at the beginning, Li Si was stunned.

Fortunately, immediately, the urgent information from Nightingale made Li Si understand the truth of the matter, and he was relieved.

After he really understood the truth of the matter, Li Si suddenly had the urge to slap himself.

Why not stay in Handan?

If he could stay in Handan, wouldn't Li Si be able to help Zhao Kuo make suggestions and make a great contribution today?

But now everything has been settled, and there is nothing left for Li Si.

What was even more unacceptable to Li Si was that Zhao Kuo's confidantes had all been promoted and became important ministers of Zhao Guo. Even Li Si's younger brother Han Fei became a lieutenant.

And what about Liss?

He still had no choice but to be an envoy on Chu's side.

This person compares to others, so maddening.

For a long time, Li Si really didn't take Han Fei seriously. He felt that although this junior brother could do some knowledge, he was not capable enough and had a stutter, so it was impossible for him to be better than Li Si.

Later, Han Fei was tricked by Zhao Kuo into the school to be a priest, and Li Si felt more at ease, and directly set his sights on Li Mu and Xu Li, wanting to surpass them.

Well now, Li Mu and Xu Li are still in power, and even Han Fei has already taken off, Li Si.

Li Si was so angry that he didn't go out for three days and drank in his room every day.

On the fourth day, Li Yuan, Minister of Chu State, came.

As Li Si's highest-ranking "insider" in the state of Chu, Li Yuan couldn't help but cover his nose as soon as he walked in the door: "Brother Li Si, you haven't been out for a few days, so much alcohol?"

Li Si looked at Li Yuan with drunken eyes, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Brother Li Yuan, you came just in time, come, come and have a drink with me!"

Li Yuan's face changed slightly, he seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Could it be that brother Li Si is in a bad mood because of the Handan incident?"

Li Si let out a snort and said: "Brother Li Yuan is wrong, my lord is now in charge of the wind and rain in Handan, with great power in his hands, how could I be in a bad mood because of this?

You can't talk nonsense, if you say it, you might lose your head! "

Looking at Li Si's expression and tone, Li Yuan became more and more sure of this point in his heart, sat down immediately, and said with a smile: "Brother Li Si's mood, I can actually understand it, but please cheer up Brother Li Si.

You must know that the future is long. If you are depressed just because of a momentary dispute, how can you regain your glory in the future? "

This sentence also hit Li Si's heart, so he sighed and said: "Where is there any way to regain glory again?

From now on, I'm afraid I can only be a small messenger! "

Li Yuan shook his head, pressed Li Si's wine glass: "Okay, don't drink.

Don't you know that our Great Chu has already begun to send troops to attack Zhao, ready to shake the rule of your lord?

This is your chance!If you still only know how to drink away your worries here, then you really can only be given up by Wu Xinjun. "

Li Si was silent for a while, then said to Li Yuan, "Do you think your Chu country will win?"

Li Yuandao: "I think it's very difficult to win, but as long as your Zhao country mobilizes troops, civil strife will arise.

In the past, when your lord fought wars, Zhao State was stable internally. Now he has to face external enemies and internal traitors. Do you think he can really guarantee a certain victory? "

Li Si narrowed his eyes.

Although he had drunk a lot, Li Si was not really drunk and still had the most basic ability to think.

For Li Si, the news of Han Fei's appointment as lieutenant was indeed a serious blow to him, but Li Si was decadent after all, he was still an arrogant person after all, and it was impossible for him to sink forever.

So after hearing Li Yuan's words, Li Si thought for a moment and spoke.

"Since Brother Li Yuan came to me, does this mean that there are actually some opportunities?"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Li Si is really smart! That's it, I have a plan now, maybe I can help your Patriarch Jun one or two, I wonder if you are willing?"

When Li Si heard this, his eyes lit up immediately: "Then you must join! If you have anything to say, just say it, Brother Li Yuan!"

At this time, Li Si finally ignited his fighting spirit.

Han Fei, Han Fei, you are the only one who can curry favor with the Lord, right?

Wait, the time for me, Li Si, to make contributions will come soon, and then I will crush you again!Li Si's eyes flickered, and he tapped his fingers for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at Li Yuan, and said with a smile, "Brother Li Yuan, do you want to have a taste of Chu Guoling Yin?"

Li Yuan was stunned.

Qin State and Chu State, after hearing the news of Zhao Kuo's seizure of power, also chose to send troops by coincidence.

Qin State, with Meng Ao and Wang Jian as partners, sent 15 troops.

Chu State, with Chunshenjun and Jingyang as partners, also sent 15 troops.

In this wave, the two countries mobilized all the elites to invade the border of Zhao State.

Can you win?

If it was the usual state of Zhao, it would be absolutely impossible for Qin and Chu to send troops on their own initiative.

But now that Qin and Chu have found an opportunity, they naturally have to test it out.

Everyone knows that if Zhao State is allowed to continue to be so strong, the life of Qin State and Chu State will only become more and more difficult, and they will follow in the footsteps of the other four countries.

The news quickly spread back to Handan and to Zhao Kuo's desk.

After successfully seizing power, Zhao Kuo's office is still in Xiangbang's official family, and has not been transferred to King Zhao's palace.

The reason for this is that Zhao Kuo is not familiar with King Zhao's palace, so if there are some unknown secret passages or organs in the palace, it will be a little troublesome.

In this regard, Su Li is already organizing Nightingale's staff to find out the truth in the palace through various intelligence channels. The goal is to produce a complete map of the palace within a year to ensure that there is nothing missing.

In this way, when Zhao Kuo officially ascends the throne in the future, the palace can be used for living.

Being cautious is what Zhao Kuo has to do now. After all, Zhao Kuo's eldest son, Zhao Qian, is just 11 years old and can't take charge of the overall situation.

If something really happened to Zhao Kuo at this time, then the power established by Zhao Kuo would really collapse all of a sudden.

Zhao Kuo put down the memorial in his hand, and said to Pang Jian in front of him, "Go, call everyone over and have a good discussion."

Su Li is now an important minister of Zhao Guo, and he also has a lot of things to do, so Pang Nuan's son Pang Jian follows Zhao Kuo, but Nightingale is still in Su Li's hands.

Soon, Zhao Kuo's confidants and allies gathered in Xiangbang's mansion and held the first official court meeting after Zhao Kuo seized power.

Zhao Kuo looked around at the crowd and said, "Qin and Chu are sending troops here now, what do you think?"

Frankly speaking, this feeling of being in control of the highest power is still very cool. Zhao Kuo doesn't need to worry about anyone anymore, he just needs to make a final decision.

Li Mu smiled and said, "How else can we see it? If they want to fight, then let's fight!"

For Li Mu, he was never afraid of war, what he was worried about was that there would be no war for him.

Regarding Li Mu's opinion, Xu Li also nodded in agreement: "The veteran also thinks that we should fight. If we can win at this time, many people who have different opinions in the country will be deterred, and the situation in the whole country will be stable. gone."

Although Zhao Kuo's seizure of power was relatively smooth in Handan, there are still quite a few voices of opposition at the local level.

In these days alone, four county guards and sixteen county magistrates tried to launch a rebellion against Zhao Kuo's rule, but Zhao Kuo had already prepared for it. Under the blow, these rebellions were completely quelled in just half a month.

Even so, the operation of the Zhao royal family for more than 200 years is still not to be underestimated. There are still many people who are loyal to Zhao Kuo on the surface, but are actually waiting for the opportunity to rebel.

Now that Qin and Chu are attacking together, it is undoubtedly a very good opportunity for these Zhao officials who are lurking in the dark.

Several people including Pang Nuan also spoke up one after another, thinking that a war should be fought, so that Zhao Kuo's power can be truly consolidated.

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Very good.

So how about this, I will lead the army to the south to deal with the Chu army, Li Mu, you take a troop to deal with the Qin army, and the rest of you will sit in Handan and help me stabilize the situation in the rear. "

When Zhao Kuo said these words, everyone was shocked.

Xu Li couldn't help but said: "The lord wants to conscript himself?

It's better for the lord to stay in Handan and let the veterans go to fight against the Chu people. "

In Xu Li's view, Zhao Kuo's personal conquest at this time is obviously not suitable, and it is better to sit in Handan.

Pang Nuan also said: "Jun Hou, people's hearts are fluctuating at this time, it is precisely the need for Jun Hou to sit in Handan to stabilize the overall situation.

If Jun Hou attacks, the old man is worried that there may be some troubles in Handan. "

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Kuo now belongs to the kind of character who is like a pinnacle of Dinghai. As long as Zhao Kuo appears, there is absolutely no possibility of any trouble.

But on the other hand, once Zhao Kuo leaves, those guys who are already ready to make a move may really seize the opportunity to take risks.

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "You don't understand this, do you?

This time, this time, I want to give those guys who are just about to make a move a chance! "

If these guys are not given a chance to emerge, how can Zhao Kuo catch them all?
