Chapter 195 The promise of a thousand dollars is Guo Kai! Zhao Wangyan felt so tired
The Zhao and Wei coalition forces broke up at the Yellow River.
Wei Jiu led his fleet back to Daliang City immediately, while Zhao Huan disembarked at Neihuang Ferry, recruited thousands of war horses from Neihuang City, and then ran wildly in the direction of Handan.
The journey that should have taken five days was covered by Zhao Huan in two and a half days.
February 3rd, the 10th year of the Qin Dynasty.
Zhao Huan's troops were chasing the setting sun like Kuafu chasing the sun.
"I am General Zhao Huan. The military situation is like a fire. Make way for me!"
Hold up the token, Zhao Huan shouted angrily and rode into Handan City.
Ignoring the knocked over passers-by, Zhao Huan ran all the way and was finally led into the Imperial Study Room of Handan Palace by the eunuch.
When Zhao Huan stepped into the imperial study, he saw Prime Minister Guo Kai, Chunping Lord Zhao Yan and a group of important ministers discussing with King Zhao Yan in the imperial study.
Zhao Huan hurriedly handed over his hands: "Greetings to the king!"
Zhao Wangyan asked in a deep voice: "Without courtesy."
"Why did Aiqing return to Handan City in person?"
>Zhao Huan said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the troops of Lord Chang'an of Qin State began to attack Daliang City seven days ago."
"General Pang believed that Lord Chang'an was likely to adopt flooding tactics, so he sent his last general to fight with Wei Guoning Lord Ling went out of the city to investigate.”
"Two days ago, Mo Jun discovered that 30,000 Qin troops were digging the embankment in the inner Huangcheng section!"
"And the terrain of Daliang City is lower than the place where the embankment broke. If the Yellow River breaks its embankment in the Inner Huangcheng section, The water of the Yellow River will flow into Daliang City."
"Daliang City is in danger!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the imperial study.
“Qin Guoan dares to do this!”
"If the Neihuang Embankment breaks, hundreds of miles around will be turned into a swamp, and all life will be in ruins!"
"How could Wei leave such hidden dangers!"
Except for Chu, Almost all countries have suffered from the Yellow River.
As soon as they heard Zhao Huan's words, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.
Zhao Huan said loudly: "Therefore, the last general returned to Handan to ask the king to increase his troops and work with the Wei army to destroy the Qin army who dug the embankment!"
However, facing Zhao Huan's words, all the ministers who were in full swing now became mute.
Senior troops to Wei?
But I, Da Zhao, are also facing the Bingfeng!
It was to mobilize troops and horses from the already precarious Wu'an battlefield to reinforce Wei.
Or should we sit back and watch Wei fall under the threat of flooding, and then wait for Chang'an Jun's troops to destroy Wei and then attack Zhao?
The ministers of Zhao State are in a dilemma!
Zhao Wangyan pondered for a moment and then asked in a deep voice: "After destroying the Qin army that dug the embankment, will Chang'an Lord send other soldiers to continue digging the embankment?"
Zhao Huan had no choice but to He gave a helpless answer: "If you think about it, it will be possible."
Zhao Wangyan asked: "If we want to completely dismantle the Qin State's strategy of digging embankments and flooding beams, how much investment does Zhao need to invest?"< br>
Zhao Huan was silent.
Seeing that Zhao Huan did not answer, Zhao Wangyan sighed softly: "It is unlimited!"
"If we want to temporarily solve the flood threat in Daliang City, we, Zhao, need to work with Wei to annihilate Chang'an Jun's troops. "
"But if we want to completely annihilate Chang'an Jun's troops, how many soldiers and horses does Zhao need to invest?"
Zhao Huan said in a deep voice: "The total number of Zhao and Wei troops in Daliang City is 70,000. "
"Every city in Wei has increased its troops in Daliang City, and there are still 40,000 troops."
"The current strength of the Qin army does not exceed 170,000."
"If we, Zhao, increase our troops by 50,000, and take advantage of the strong defense of Daliang City and the Wei navy, our army will not be able to completely annihilate the troops of Lord Chang'an. Can make Chang'an Jun's troops retreat?"
Zhao Wangyan shook his head: "If he can win with equal strength, how can General Pang be defeated in Xiuyu City?"
Zhao Huan was speechless.
Although Pang Nuan's defeat had various reasons for non-war crimes.
But if you lose, you lose!
Subconsciously touching the jade pendant he just received, Guo Kai said with emotion: "An additional fifty thousand troops will make things worse for the already poor military strength of Zhao!"
"And Not to mention increasing the army by 50,000, even if the army is increased by 100,000, it may not be able to destroy the army of Lord Chang'an!"
Zhao Huan said anxiously: "Then I, the Great Zhao, will not care about Wei!"< br>
Guo Kai scolded in a deep voice: "Zhao Huan, remember which country you are a general from!"
"What does the survival of Wei have to do with you?"
"Preserving Zhao is what you should do!"
Zhao Huan frowned and said, "But if Wei dies, How can the State of Zhao survive? "
"If the State of Wei falls to Qin, the State of Qin will surround our country on three sides and cut off the channels of communication between our State of Zhao and Chu."
"What if in the future. If Qin attacks Zhao, our country, Zhao, can only get reinforcements from Yan.”
"But in recent years, our State of Zhao has repeatedly seized the land of Yan. Will the State of Yan be willing to reinforce our State of Zhao!"
"Preserving the State of Wei means preserving the State of Zhao. This is what Prime Minister Guo said!"
< br>Zhao Huan picked up the bullets fired by Guo Kai before the expedition and shot Guo Kai today!
But how could Guo Kai care?
Guo Kai said angrily without hesitation: "Don't you know the truth of what you said?"
"I know the truth! I know the significance of the Wei State to our country, Zhao, better than you!"
"If not, why did the Prime Minister advise us to increase our troops by 250,000 to reinforce the Wei State?"< br>
“Even if Qin really attacks the east and west as I expected, with General Wang Jian leading the main force of the Qin army to attack Zhao, I still send 50,000 troops to reinforce Wei. Doesn’t this prove that I am against Wei? Does the country value it!"
In the overall strategy, the fundamental reason why Pang Nuan's troops appeared on the Wei battlefield was to involve the Qin army's combat power and guide the Wei army to participate in the war.
But who can say that those 50,000 soldiers and horses were not reinforcements from Zhao?
No matter what purpose Guo Kai has, just say that Zhao Junzhen has no reinforcements!
In a few words, Guo Kai said that Zhao Huan was a little confused.
Why do you feel that Guo Xiang agrees with you?
Guo Kai sighed helplessly: "I, Wang Renyi, agree to the Prime Minister's policy."
"I, the Great Zhao, have reached the limit of what a country of brothers separated by a strip of water can do!"
"But no matter what, Wei Guo failed to live up to expectations!"
"Before our army participated in the war, we suffered a huge defeat, turning the originally considerable force into a weak force."
"Now it is even more difficult. Let Qin dig out the hidden danger that has existed in Daliang City for a long time."
"How can I save it?"
"You know it can't be saved!" Guo! Kai was like a high-level player who met a pig teammate. He slapped the table angrily, his face full of anger.
Zhao Huan could not refute Guo Kai's words, Zhao Huan was even aroused by Guo Kai.
The problems existing in Daliang City have long been raised by Lord Xinling.
But how long has Lord Xinling been dead, this problem still remains unresolved.
When Pang Nuan raised this issue again, the monarchs and ministers of Wei State actually ignored it.
If the monarchs and ministers of Wei State had more subjective initiative, would Zhao State be in such a dilemma? As for Pang Nuan being unable to get a good night's sleep for more than a month?
But Zhao Huan did not forget why he came back this time.
Zhao Huan said firmly: "Although the State of Wei does not live up to expectations, it is our ally of Great Zhao, and it is the backbone of our great Zhao."
"Will the State of Wei live up to our expectations of Great Zhao?" It has nothing to do with whether to rescue Wei or not!"
"If Wei falls, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Chang'an Lord will attack our country from the southeast."
"Once Chang'an Jun's troops join forces with General Wang Jian's troops, how will Zhao resist?"
Guo chuckled happily.
General, you are so easy to fool.
Guo Kai had no intention of stopping his rescue of Wei.
Guo Kai just needs to get Zhao Huan to personally admit that Wei Guo did pull his crotch, that will be enough!
Guo Kai said solemnly: "The ability of the Wei State determines how we, the Great Zhao, should rescue the Wei State."
"If the Wei State is also powerful, we, the Great Zhao State, can add another 50,000 troops to compete with the Wei State." Join forces to fight Qin."
"But if Wei fails, then we, Zhao, cannot count on Wei. Joining forces with Wei will weaken our army's combat effectiveness."
Guo Kaifa faces. King Zhao Yan bowed his hands and said: "I advise General Li Mu to speed up the attack and defeat King Jian of Qin's troops as soon as possible."
"Then we will turn our troops to reinforce Wei's battlefield!"
Zhao Huan exclaimed in shock: "We must wait until General Li Mu defeats Wang Jian's troops before reinforcing Wei?"
When will that happen!
Can Li Mu really defeat Wang Jian?
Guo Kai glanced at Zhao Huan: "With 110,000 Zhao and Wei coalition forces fighting against 170,000 Qin troops, and there is a city wall to defend, can it be that the Zhao and Wei coalition forces cannot defend it for even a year and a half? "
"Or is it that the soldiers in Daliang City have been frightened by the Qin army and do not dare to send troops to fight even if they know that the Qin army has breached the embankment outside? "
Zhao Huan frowned and said: "This is absolutely impossible!"
"Our soldiers are all brave!"
Guo Kai nodded and said: "That's it."
"The original intention of the prime minister is to cooperate with the Wei army on the Wei battlefield to destroy Chang'an Lord's troops, and then lead the Wei army to Wu'an to reinforce General Li Mu."
"Since this strategy does not work, we can only urge Li Mu General, make a quick decision and reinforce Daliang City as soon as possible.”
Guo Kai's voice deepened: "The truth is that I also know that this may put Daliang City in danger."
"But when a country must be in danger, the truth is that I hope that it is not me, Dazhao, who is in danger." ! ”
Guo Kai’s words are reasonable and politically correct.
As long as Zhao Huan is still a general of Zhao State and puts Zhao State's interests first, Zhao Huan will not be able to refute Guo Kai's words.
Zhao Huan had no choice but to hand over his hand: "I ask for advice and urge General Li to fight quickly!"
Seeing Zhao Huan falling into the hole he dug step by step, Guo chuckled happily.
Urge Hu Zou to fight quickly, and Qin rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold.
Li Mu was urged to fight quickly, and Qin rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold.
Now that I have received the gift of a thousand pieces of gold, I should fulfill the entrustment of the State of Qin.
Otherwise, wouldn’t he be a villain who takes money and does nothing?
Who else will give gifts to me in the future and ask me to do something for you!
But unfortunately, King Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "This advice is not accepted."
"No one is allowed to urge General Li Mu to fight quickly in any way!"
Zhao Huan was stunned: "Your Majesty, why is this?"
King Zhao said angrily: "Why?"
"General Hu was looking for a quick battle and was caught by the Qin army. He was eventually defeated and died."
"Fortunately, General Li Mu was not afraid in the face of danger, so we, Zhao, were not defeated."
"General Hu has not been buried yet, have you all forgotten this matter?"
"Cough~cough~"
Zhao Wangyan is not a wise king.
But he had just been slapped in the face and his face was still hurting. How could Zhao Wangyan forget his lesson so quickly?
Seeing that King Zhao Yan was coughing again and again, the courtiers of Zhao State were worried and quickly raised their hands: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Wang Yan waved his hand to silence everyone and continued to speak: " Order!"
"Send all the supplies of food and grass from Wei to General Li Mu's army."
"Ask Zuo Shichu to escort the food and grass in person, and tell General Li. Don’t worry about anything else, just do your best!”
"I wait patiently for him to bring victory to me!"
The position of Zuo Shi is responsible for the instruction of the king, ministers and officials. He can teach the king of Zhao at the top and the ministers at the bottom.
Zuo Shi Longgeng was famous throughout the Zhao Dynasty and his name went down in history for his denunciation of Empress Zhao Wei.
Ordering Chulong to escort the grain and grass was to use the power of Chulong to frighten all Xiaoxiao who wanted to take action on this batch of baggage. It was also a promise to Li Mu.
I know that I have thought you were too slow to advance several times and dismissed you as commander, but this time you can rest assured that if I change my order again, you will have Chulong return to Handan to scold me!
Chulong, who was over eighty years old, came out of the queue and raised his hands, saying in a deep voice: "I am willing to go!"
Zhao Wangyan ordered again: "Order!"
"Admonish the doctor Mao Sui Send envoys to Qi, Yan, and Chu. "
"Inform the three kings that Qin's heavy troops are outside and the country is empty. This is a good opportunity."
"The three kings can send troops to rescue! In order to fight later, Wei can also send troops to attack Qin to weaken Qin's power. It will be decided by the three kings. "
Zhao Wangyan's voice became deeper: "Don't miss this opportunity again!"
Zhao Wangyan lamented in his heart.
Teammates, stop being pigs.
I am so tired!
