Chapter 176: I have shown my cards, my strategy is betrayal of the country!
Recalling the entire process of the battle to destroy Korea, Zhao Wangyan nodded in agreement: "What General Li said makes sense!"
People are animals with preconceptions.
After learning that Ying Zheng and Ying Chengyu cooperated to destroy South Korea by attacking in the east and attacking in the west, Zhao Wangyan subconsciously thought that the Ying brothers might use similar tactics again.
Guo Kai also nodded in agreement: "I also agree that both King Qin and Lord Qin Changan are cunning villains."
"The strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west must be guarded against!"
"But how did General Li know that General Li's ideas had not been expected by the King of Qin?"
"Perhaps it was because he had guessed that General Li would be worried. The State of Qin claimed to attack the State from the East and the West, and then advised the King to send troops to assist the State of Wei."
"The King of Qin dared to send troops to attack Wei!"
Li Mu was speechless.
This general knew the King of Qin's plan, so he advised not to rescue Wei.
The King of Qin knew that this general knew the King of Qin’s plan, so he attacked Wei.
You are here with a matryoshka doll!
How to answer this?
After winning the victory on the scene, Guo Kai spoke seriously: "Even though I knew that Qin Wangzheng and Chang'an Jun were both cunning villains, I didn't say anything because if I dig into this matter, I will fall into the trap of General Li. The usual dilemma has no solution.”
"But I understand one thing. If Qin attacks Wei, I, the great Zhao State, will rescue Wei State."
"But if Qin attacks Zhao State, Wei State will not be willing to rescue Zhao State."
>"Therefore, no matter whether Qin is attacking in the east or in the west, we, Zhao, must act as if Qin is going to attack Wei with all its strength."
"On the premise of protecting Handan without losing it, we should accumulate heavy troops in Wei. He also raised troops from the State of Wei and launched an attack on Yingchuan County of the State of Qin, forcing the State of Qin to use Yingchuan County and the State of Wei as battlefields. "
"This will completely draw the State of Wei into the war!"
"This is Zhao Yingxing's conspiracy!"
Faced with Guo Kai's advice to close the logic loop, Li Mu didn't know where to break the situation, so he could only hand over his advice: "The general will give advice, even if we rescue Wei The country should not send so many troops and horses, and protecting our territory of Zhao is the top priority!"
Li Mu couldn't speak, but Li Mu's words touched the heart of Zhao Wangyan.
The future is too far away and no one can imagine it.
But you can see what is happening right under your nose.
Preserving the current territory is the first goal that Zhao Wangyan needs to achieve.
As for Zhao’s future dilemma?
You can rely on the wisdom of future generations!
While pondering for a moment, Zhao Wangyan said in a deep voice: "We will discuss this matter later and withdraw from the court!"
Looking at Zhao Wangyan getting up and leaving, Li Mu loudly admonished him. : "Your Majesty!"
However, before Li Mu could say anything, Hu Zou grabbed Li Mu's arm and shook his head: "Let's stop here."
"If I continue to remonstrate, I will inevitably anger the king."
Li Mu said decisively: "But Prime Minister Guo's remonstrance is too ridiculous!"
"The king should refute it immediately, how can he put this matter aside for later discussion?"
Looking at Li Mu With such an angry look, Hu Zou sighed softly: "You are calm and collected on the battlefield, but why have you become more irritable after returning to the court for many years?"
"It is right to dare to speak up and tell the king what we think."
"But the king is the king and the ministers are ministers. The king's will has been decided. How can we, as ministers, force the king to change his mind? ?”
“Remonstrating once is enough to show loyalty. No matter what the king orders in the end, we will all obey the king’s order.”
What Hu Zhu said spoke from the bottom of his heart.
On the battlefield, Li Mu is calm, wise and courageous, and is a nightmare for his enemies.
But Li Mu, who was above the court, was too fiery. He even angrily scolded King Zhao Yan in the main hall for why he wanted to find a prostitute to be his queen.
What does the change of king and queen have to do with our generals?
Don’t say that the king found a prostitute to be the queen, so what if the king found a seventy-year-old man to be the queen!
Do you and I have room to comment?
Hu Zou could see Li Mu's military talents, but he really didn't want to lose such a great talent to the court!
Li Mu said bitterly: "It's just because I can't stand this court!"
"Since I can't stand it, I have to say it!"
Hu Ju angrily yelled: "Those words Is that what you should say?"
Li Mu looked up at Hu Zhe: "It is precisely because no one in the court speaks, that the soldiers at the border are so miserable, and that is why our country is declining day by day."
"If the last general is stationed in northern Xinjiang, he will guard the country for our great Zhao."
"Since the general is now standing in the court, he should complain about all the injustices!"
Li Mu's heart was full of hatred for the princes in the court.
Li Mu does not want to be a yes man like the princes in the court!
Hu He shouted in a deep voice: "Then you will definitely follow in the footsteps of Lord Xinping (Lian Po)!"
Will you bet your own glory and wealth for the future of Zhao?
Stop being ridiculous!
Since Lian Po was deposed, there are no such stupid generals in Zhao!
Li Mu grinned: "If you can become a person like Xinping-kun, you will be lucky for the rest of your life!"
Looking at the smile on Li Mu's face, Hu Le shook his head suddenly: "Nothing. It's a cure!"
Throwing his sleeves, he strode out of the court.
Li Mu turned around and asked loudly: "Does General Hu want to watch the king be deceived by Guo Kai's wrong advice?"
Hu Zou did not answer, but left the court a little faster. .
Right or wrong, does it matter?
So what if Guo made the wrong decision!
This Zhao State is the Zhao State of King Zhao, not yours or mine!
The smile on Li Mu's face slowly disappeared, and he looked helplessly to the left and right, but only saw his colleagues who were avoiding him like a plague god. He was clearly a fierce general who made Dong Hu afraid to go south for ten years.
But when he stood in the court, he looked like a lonely, helpless and bad-tempered child!
……
The imperial study room of Handan Palace.
The five stoves send out billowing heat waves, making the temperature in the room far higher than outside.
But Zhao Wangyan, who was lying on the knee pillow of a beautiful palace maid with his feet in the arms of another palace maid, still couldn't stop coughing.
The door of the royal study room was pushed open, and the cold wind of early November rushed in along the door, making King Zhao shiver in the cold.
With lightning speed, Guo Kai quickly closed the door and walked quickly to Zhao Wangyan: "Is the king feeling better today?"
"Ahem~" Zhao Wang Yan coughed twice more and waved to another palace maid, who quickly walked to Zhao Wang Yan's side.
Regardless of Guo Kai's presence, the palace maid untied her clothes without hesitation and lay on top of Zhao Wang Yan.
Feeling the warmth provided by the palace maid, Zhao Wangyan opened another drawer, took out an elixir and put it into his mouth.
Guo Kaidang offered the warm water that had been placed on the fire to Zhao Wangyan with both hands.
After taking the elixir with warm water, King Zhao Yan sighed with satisfaction.
"Huh~" Zhao Wangyan turned his eyes to Guo Kai: "Is this person feeling better? Mr. Guo doesn't know?"
Guo Kai smiled bitterly and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, please stop teasing me."
"I know that your Majesty must be dissatisfied with me because I sent heavy troops to rescue Wei."
< br>From the moment Zhao Wangyan suddenly chose to stop the court meeting, Guo Kai knew that Zhao Wangyan must have been aware of the problem with Guo Kaizhi's advice.
In order to maintain Zhao Wangyan's trust, Guo Kai must completely eliminate the doubts and dissatisfaction in Zhao Wangyan's heart as soon as possible!
Zhao Wangyan adjusted his posture and asked in a deep voice: "Give me a reason."
"I am waiting for you to convince me."
The friendship between Zhao Wangyan and Guo Kai is unmatched by others.
So even though Zhao Wangyan had made his own decision in the court, Zhao Wangyan did not directly express his decision in the court meeting.
Zhao Wangyan did not want the courtiers to think that Guo Kai had fallen out of favor, and even argued with Guo Kai in front of the courtiers!
For this reason, Zhao Wangyan specifically ended the court meeting and called Guo Kai to the imperial study room to ask the reason.
Under the expectant gaze of King Zhao, Guo Kai spoke in a deep voice: "The State of Qin sent travelers to bribe the ministers with large sums of money."
"Please advise the king to send heavy troops to rescue the State of Wei!"
Zhao Wangyan nodded slightly: "The reason why I love you is...(°Д°)what?"
Zhao Wangyan looked at Guo Kai in stunned disbelief: "Because the Qin State has a lot of money. I bribed you, so you persuaded me to send heavy troops to rescue Wei?"
Zhao Wangyan was furious!
These days, people who have been corrupted and betrayed Zhao are not going behind the back of others!
Guo Kai said calmly: "Of course!"
"Sending heavy troops to rescue the Wei State is the result that the Qin State wants."
"The ministers advised me in the court, They are all traitorous words!"
Zhao Wangyan stood up directly, drew his sword on the wall, and shouted angrily: "I trust you more than I do."
"Why are you betraying Zhao!"
Guo Kai shouted firmly: "I may indeed betray Zhao, but I will not betray the king."
"Your Majesty "It's just a small amount of gold and silver. Why would I betray the king for it?"
Guo Kai looked at Zhao Wangyan with his loyal eyes and explained sincerely. : "If Qin really wanted to attack Wei, then why did Qin bribe its ministers with large sums of money to persuade the king to send as many troops as possible to rescue Wei?"
"The Qin State should have ordered the ministers to advise the king to send reinforcements!"
"Because of Qin State's bribery, the ministers understood the true purpose of the Qin State's war."
>"This battle between Qin and Qin is just like Qin's battle last year."
"It was clearly meant to attack Wei, but in fact it came against me, Zhao!"
Looking at it Guo Kai's sincere look made Zhao Wangyan's anger gradually subside.
Returning the sword and putting it into its sheath, King Zhao Yan lay back on the palace maid again and asked in a deep voice: "So I will follow my plan if I love you?"
Guo Kai nodded in agreement: "So I will follow my plan."
"Obviously, our great Zhao will follow Qin's policy and send heavy troops to assist Wei."
"This will allow Qin to march on Wei first according to the original plan and force Wei to join the war."
< br>“But in fact, except for the 50,000 soldiers and horses, the remaining 200,000 troops are hoarded at the border. The longest distance is only two days to Handan.”
"Once the main force of the Qin army enters the territory of Zhao State, the main force of our country Zhao can return to the reinforcements in an instant, and pull together the state of Wei to help our country Zhao resist Qin!"
The king of Zhao rubbed his chin, eyes wide. Shining light: "This is a wonderful strategy!"
Sit up, Zhao Wangyan personally poured a cup of hot wine for Guo Kai: "I have misunderstood my beloved."
Guo Kai quickly thanked him: "This contribution is just my responsibility."
"However, the travelers from Qin State came in a hurry, and I failed to inform the king in advance of the reason, which made the king worry. It is my fault. Sin! ”
Zhao Wangyan smiled: "You and I have our own trust, so what if it's earlier or later?"
"In that case, the matter of helping Wei is settled."
"Ai Qing Who do you think is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of this army?"
Guo Kai immediately said: "I advise Hu Zhu to be the chief general, as for the deputy general?"
"What about Li Mu?"< br>
