Chapter 263: Sword cuts the crown, I want this charm to be no longer able to cover my eyes!
While King Yan was crying with joy and sorrow, the Handan Palace (Longtai) of Zhao State was filled with joy.
Guo Kai held the military newspaper in his hand and recited excitedly: "Starting from June 15th, the general will send a navy to attack the Qin army's food road, seize the Qin army's food and grass, and spread this news to the Qin army. , causing riots."
"On July 18, the Qin army's left wing was in chaos. Our troops took the opportunity to attack. The Qin army was defeated and retreated into the Taihang Mountains."
"Because of the Qin general. When Wang Jian was defeated and retreated, he still set up ambushes in the Taihang Mountains. The general did not dare to pursue lightly and postponed his offensive. "
"In this battle, our army captured 27,620 of the Qin army's leaders and killed 13,005 people. We relieved Wu'an and captured Qin's Luanyang to control Fukouxing and Qingzhang River. "
"After resting, the general intends to continue to lead his troops south to attack Qin's Tunliu, in order to capture the Changzhi land (a basin suitable for farming in the Taihang Mountains) and the Zhuozhang River, and incorporate the hinterland of the Taihang Mountains into the territory. In the territory of our great Zhao, we have set up a supply place for our subsequent attack on the Qin Kingdom!”
“The last general, Li Mu, pays homage to the king from a distance in the Taihang Mountains!”
After listening to Guo Kai’s recitation! In the military report, all the ministers of Zhao State excitedly shouted:
"Congratulations to General Li! Congratulations to Zhao! Congratulations to the king!"
King Zhao Yan laughed happily: "Hahahaha~"
"I have indeed not misjudged General Li Mu!"
"Congratulations to our great Zhao for getting such a fierce general!" "
"However, now is not the time to congratulate you."
Zhao Wang Yanzheng asked: "My general of Zhao intends to continue to advance westward and seize the land of Changzhi."< br>
"My dear friends, what do you think our great Zhao should do?"
Be obedient.
Just listening to Zhao Wangyan’s exciting and high-pitched voice, the officials understood Zhao Wangyan’s intentions.
Guo Kai took the lead, and all the ministers shouted: "Fight!"
Zhao Wangyan nodded happily: "Yes, fight!"
"This battle is a good opportunity to attack Qin."
"General Li Munian is strong and brave, and I will not interfere with General Li's strategy."
"What I and your dear friends can do , is to provide food and grass and ensure food and wages!"
Zhao Wangyan took off the hairpin with his right hand, and with his left hand took off the black six-pinned seventy-two jade crown on his head and placed it on the table.
Immediately, I drew my sword with my right hand and slashed at Qiguan!
"Crash la la la~"
The golden wire broke, and seventy-two colorful jade stones fell to the ground, jumping around.
Seeing a colorful jade rolling to his feet, Guo Kai hurriedly picked up the jade, and presented his hands to King Zhao in shock and apprehension: "Your Majesty, what are you doing, what are you doing? Ah!"
Zhao Wangyan raised his eyes and looked at the ministers: "I heard that I put my crown on my head, the intention is to 'obscur the light', and I always warn the king not to 'observe the light' , but should be aware of the general situation and tolerate the small flaws."
"I will follow the teachings and cover my eyes to calm the people of Zhao."
"Of course, with this God-given opportunity, I, Zhao, have good generals to fight with, and I cannot allow anyone to do anything that harms the country."
"Before this battle is over, I will no longer care about my crown!"
“Pass this order to me!”
“Deploy garrison troops from each city and 10,000 guards to reinforce General Li Mu’s troops.”
“From now on, those who are greedy for money and food will Those who have more than one stone will be killed, and those who are greedy for money and food for more than a hundred stones will be destroyed!"
"Those who frame Li Mu will be beheaded, and those who frame the frontline soldiers will be destroyed!"
"Slowing up military affairs..."
One after another orders came out of King Zhao Yan's mouth.
If you dare to disobey, you will be beheaded or destroyed!
Finally, Zhao Wangyan looked at Guo Kai: "Those who accept bribes from envoys from other countries and fail to repay them will be killed, and those who practice lobbying skills for other countries will be destroyed!"
"Anyone who disobeys the order will not be forgiven by anyone!"
Facing Zhao Wangyan's cold and decisive gaze, Guo Kai knew that Zhao Wangyan was serious, and this last point was directed at Guo Kai !
How Guo Kai accepted bribes from other countries on weekdays did not matter to King Zhao Yan.
Because Zhao Wangyan himself is not a wise king, he also has his own selfish motives and preferences.
Guo Kai is Zhao Wang Yan’s favorite, and when Zhao Wang Yan visits his daughter, Guo Kai always pays for it!
Therefore, as long as Zhao Wangyan's bottom line was not exceeded, Zhao Wangyan always turned a blind eye to Guo Kai's behavior.
But this time, King Zhao Yan made it clear that he would not grant any forgiveness to Guo Kai because of the relationship between the two!
Guo Kai immediately handed over his hand: "I, I will obey the king's order!"
The ministers did not understand Zhao Wangyan as well as Guo Kai.
But looking at the jade stones rolling all over the ground, who doesn’t know how determined Zhao Wangyan is?
King Yan of Zhao even cut off the hanging strings on his crown, but his sword could not cut off any of the courtiers?
The ministers did not question whether Zhao Wangyan could do it.
If King Yan of Zhao adopts such a high-pressure rule over Zhao for a long time, his throne will definitely be unstable.
But with Zhao Wangyan’s current control over Zhao State, he only adopted such a system within the time of a war. How can there be anyone in Zhao State who Zhao Wangyan cannot kill!
Therefore, the ministers raised their hands without hesitation and shouted: "My lord, I will obey the king's order!"
Zhao Wangyan looked around the hall, and said in a calm and firm voice: "After this battle, I and..."
Before Zhao Wangyan could finish his words, a shout suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, urgent report on the military situation in Neihuang County!"
Neihuang?
Thinking of the battle situation around Neihuang, Zhao Wangyan's pupils shrank suddenly and he said in a broken voice: "Pass!"
A messenger walked into the hall with difficulty with the support of two guards.
After breaking away from the guard, the ordering soldier knelt down and held a bamboo tube with both hands: "The military situation in Neihuang County, please see the king!"
The eunuch was about to get it immediately. , but Zhao Wangyan ran to the messenger faster than the eunuch and picked up the bamboo tube.
After verifying the mud seal letter, King Zhao cut open the mud seal, took out the bamboo slips, and scanned it quickly. But suddenly, Zhao Wangyan's eyes were fixed somewhere on the bamboo slips, unable to move for a long time.
The ministers didn't know what happened.
They just felt that the king, who had been straight and proud just now, suddenly stooped a little.
After a long time, seeing some noise in the hall, Guo Kai finally asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, something important happened?"
Zhao Wangyan recovered his thoughts and sighed softly: "The Yan army was defeated."
Guo Kai laughed and said, "Yan is a weak country."
"Previously, the king had predicted that Yan would be defeated by Qin. Now Yan is defeated, which proves that the king has a sharp eye!"
King Yan said angrily: "But I never expected that. The defeat of Guo Yan was so hasty, so complete, and so stupid!”
“I should not have expected these allies from the beginning!”
As he spoke, General Zhao Wangyan The bamboo slip was thrown to Guo Kai: "You will know by looking at it yourself!"
Guo Kai hurriedly unfolded the military report and recited aloud: "On July 22, Qin Changan Jun's troops..."< br>
Guo Kai's voice was loud, but Zhao Wangyan's mood was very low.
Zhao Wangyan is already going all out to support the Qin-Zhao war.
Good news has also come from the Wu'an battlefield, and Zhao is about to win a glorious victory over Qin.
But first, Chu State was defeated and Shouchun City was captured, allowing Qin State to relieve the crisis on the southern front.
Zhao Wangyan was very sorry for this, but Chu's defeat was completely expected by Zhao Wangyan, and Chu also bought enough time for Zhao.
As long as the Yan State fights for about half a year for the Zhao State, Zhao Wangyan will have the confidence to support Li Mu to conquer the Taihang Mountains and point his sword at the hinterland of the Qin State!
As a result, at the critical moment of Zhao Wangyan's plan, Yan State could not hold on for even one day.
What is a pig teammate?
This is the real pig teammate!
“Hey!”
Suddenly he stepped on a falling jade stone. King Zhao Yan slipped and fell on the steps.
“Your Majesty!”
“Pick up all the jade stones quickly!”
“Send it to the imperial doctor quickly!”
The ministers suddenly forgot to denounce them Yan Guo was incompetent and looked at Zhao Wangyan lying on the steps in panic.
A group of eunuchs hurriedly picked up the jade stones on the ground. Several eunuchs tried to step forward to help him, but Zhao Wangyan had already stood up on his own.
"I have nothing to do."
Zhao Wangyan's back was stooped, and he continued to limp towards the high platform.
Turn around and take a seat, King Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "The State of Yan has been defeated. Today, I, the Great Zhao, are the only ones who persist in resisting Qin."
"My dear friends, I, the Great Zhao The burden on our shoulders is heavy, but it is a responsibility we have to bear! ”
"Pass an order to mobilize 50,000 soldiers from all over the country to reinforce Neihuang City."
"Issue a conscription order. All men over the age of thirteen and under sixty in the territory will be conscripted into the army to prepare for war! "
Mao Sui, the admonishing official, shouted in astonishment: "Your Majesty, no!"
"Now that Chu and Yan have been defeated, and Wei is dead, how can we, Zhao, fight against Qin alone? ”
“I advise you that a truce is a good thing!”
King Zhao Yan could not refuse and said: "This matter is settled!"
Mao Sui stepped forward and said seriously: "My advice, please think twice!"
Wang Zhao Yan stopped talking and just glanced at Guo Kai.
Guo Kaixin understood this and immediately went out to fight back: "I think that this is the time for a decisive battle with Qin!"
After handing over the matter of quarreling with the ministers to Guo Kai, King Zhao Yan sat upright on the soft couch, his eyes empty.
Although Zhao Wangyan is only in his twenties this year, Zhao Wangyan can feel that his body is deteriorating and he may not live for a few more years.
With the current situation in the world, does he still have the chance to lead Zhao State to bite out a piece of land from Qin State that is enough to make Ying Zheng heartache?
If not, King Zhao will not be willing to die!
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty!"
Guo Kai's cry awakened Zhao Wangyan, Zhao Wangyan's pupils refocused, and he found that the ministers in the palace no longer argued, but all came together Look at yourself.
Zhao Wangyan asked in a gentle voice: "Have you already made a plan?"
Guo Kai bowed his hand and said, "Yao Jia, the envoy of the State of Qin, would like to see you."
Zhao Wangyan felt that this name was a bit strange. Sounds familiar, Guo Kai saw this and added: "The son of that gatekeeper, the thief!"
Yao Jia's father was just a city gate guard, so Yao Jia could not be reused in Wei State, and he could not even survive. Get down!
After Zhao Wangyan learned that Yao Jia was talented, he invited Yao Jia to join Zhao as a minister and ordered Yao Jia to serve as an envoy to various countries.
As a result, Li Si spread rumors at this time that Yao Jia made a living by stealing when he was in Wei.
Zhao Wangyan didn’t believe it at first, but after checking, Zhao Wangyan was surprised to find that Yao Jia had really been a thief for many years!
Being humble is not a shame, but not being honest is disloyal!
And why did the thief go on a mission to other countries on behalf of Zhao in the past!
So Zhao Wangyan directly recalled Yao Jia and expelled Yao Jia from the country.
After being expelled by the State of Zhao, Yao Jia defected to the State of Qin and finally became a minister in Qin after being recommended by Li Si.
Today the State of Qin sent Yao Jia as envoy to the State of Zhao. It is difficult to say that this is not a provocation to the State of Zhao!
Zhao Wangyan smiled softly: "Sure enough."
"Pass!"
The palace door opened.
After a few years, Yao Jia once again entered the Handan Palace.
Looking at the king who had been loyal to him on the high platform, Yao Jia bowed his hands and said: "Foreign minister Yao Jia, pay your respects to King Zhao!"
