Chapter 55: Prelude (II)

In the face of King Zhao's accusation, Xiang Guotian bowed down and said to Zhao Wang Dan: "King, this time it is not trivial to fight with the Qin army. It's a big war related to the national fortunes of Zhao and Qin! Now General Lian Po is very right, Qin's national strength is much better than ours, and our Zhao State can only resist Qin's attack by adhering to the defensive policy and investing more troops! ”

Then he pleaded: "Great King, I have sent people to Wei and Chu to deliver letters, and ask them to send troops to assist my Zhao State in attacking Qin. In this way, as long as our Zhao army is in Shangdang, and the Qin army continues for a period of time, when Wei and Chu send troops, the Qin army will retreat. ”

"Xiangguo, the widow only asks you, where is the grain and grass? Now that my Zhao State provides 300,000 troops with food and grass, it is already extremely difficult, if I increase my troops, can my Zhao State bear it? ”

Zhao Dan was furious and said to Tian Dan.

Tian Dan was not in a hurry, and said to Zhao Dan: "King, the current situation can be described as a life and death juncture for me Zhao Guo!" Defeating the Qin State is the most urgent thing for my Zhao State today, and my Zhao State can send envoys to the five states of Yan, Qi, Wei, Han, and Chu to state their interests and consist, and let them send troops to help me, this is one of them;

The second is to send envoys to the neighboring countries of Qi and Yan to borrow grain. If necessary, they can return some of the cities they occupy in Qi and Yan, and when these two countries see this, they will be grateful to me and Zhao, and it is easy to borrow grain from me. ”

Looking at the young monarch Zhao Dan, his expression was almost distorted.

Tian Dan gritted his teeth and continued: "King, the third point I said is to send the border army to join the decisive battle with the Qin army.

Great King, this requires that my Zhao State must now make friends with neighboring countries, especially Qi and Yan. At present, my Zhao State has received a response from Wei and Chu, and if we make friends with Qi and Yan. First, I have no worries about Zhao Guo; Second, it is also easy for my Zhao State to obtain food and military funds, which is conducive to the long-term confrontation between my Zhao State and Qin State.

The king, more importantly, in this way, can transfer the border army led by Daijun Li Mu and the general Pang Xuan back to join the Shangdang and the decisive battle with the Qin State. In this way, the number of our Zhao army far exceeds that of the Qin army, and when the Qin army has just occupied several counties in Shangdang and has not yet gained a stable foothold, and our Zhao country is not short of food, grass and materials with the help of various countries, it is also possible to defeat the Qin army. ”

The young monarch Zhao Dan couldn't hold back any longer, and yelled at Tian Dan: "What? It is also necessary to bow to the Qi State and the Yan State and return their cities. You...... Xiangguo ...... You've really disappointed the widow! Are you the Xiangguo of my Zhao Kingdom? Or the Xiangguo of Qi and Yan? Don't forget, you were exchanged for dozens of cities by my Zhao Kingdom! ”

Seeing the appearance of the king he assisted, Tian Dan sighed, closed his eyes, and old tears flowed out. sighed in my heart: "I'm sorry, after Zhao Wei, I can't assist Zhao Guo anymore!" The old minister has lived up to your expectations of me! ”

Slowly opened his eyes, and slowly said to Zhao Wangdan: "King, the old minister is now old and sick, and he can't assist you, the king." Now the old minister resigns, I hope the king is gracious! ”

The young king smiled angrily and said to Tian Dan, "Okay, the widow is approved." Xiangguo, you can now go home and recuperate! ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and headed for the apse.

In the eleventh year of King Wucheng, in the late seventh month of the lunar calendar, Tian Dan resigned from the Zhao state.

Immediately, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was appointed by Zhao Wang Dan as the new prime minister.

After the news of Zhao Xiang's resignation spread, it shocked Zhao Guo.

Zhao Guo who is recuperating and treating at home [sweet potato.] Shangqing Lin is similar, after hearing the news. struggled to climb down from the sickbed, and said to the old wife who was serving him next to him: "Get ready, I will go to meet the king." ”

The old wife wept and said, "Your body is like this, why do you care about so many things?" Many people in the court now say that you old ministers love the position of power and refuse to step down, so that Zhao Kuo and a group of other outstanding people will not be able to take the position! Isn't your doing this more than fulfilling these rumors? ”

Lin Xiangru shook his head and said to his old wife, "What do you know?" When Ma Fujun was alive, he once said to me: "Soldiers, the land of death and life, the survival of the country." But his son Zhao Kuo usually only knows rhetoric, and knows how to use soldiers like child's play. If Zhao Kuo is allowed to lead the army, my Zhao Kingdom will die and have no place to be buried! ”

Now that the Zhao Qin war is imminent, there are experienced and strategic people like Tian Dan and Lian Po, so I can rest assured! You don't care about this, quick, let people prepare, I will enter the palace to meet the king. ”

The old wife didn't dare to say much, so she had to ask people to prepare carriages and horses and send Lin Xiangru to face you.

But what made Lin Xiangru depressed was that when he came to the palace, he asked to see Queen Dan, King of Zhao. After a long while, a waiter came out and said to Lin Xiangru: "The king has an order, and the king knows the meaning of Lin Shangqing's coming." You don't need to worry about Tiandan's resignation, go home and recuperate. Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, has been appointed as the prime minister, and there is no reason to change it. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiangru looked up to the sky and sighed: "In this way, my Zhao country is in danger!" ”

Then he said to the coachman: "Let's go, go to Lord Yuqing's mansion." ”

Yu Qing resigned from the Zhao State because of the incident of the former Wei Prime Minister Wei Qi a few years ago, and planned to go to the Wei State, but was stopped by Lin Xiangru and stayed in the Zhao State.

welcomed his old friend Lin Xiangru, who came to his house, to the study, and looked at the old friend who was still panting there. sighed and said, "Your body is already like this, and you are still working like this!" Don't want to die? ”

Lin Xiangru took a sip of water, calmed down, and said to Yu Qing: "The king has dismissed Tiandan's phase!" Replaced by Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, now that the battle between Zhao and Qin is imminent, the old man is very worried, I am afraid that something will happen! ”

Yu Qing stood up and sighed: "The king is young and vigorous, focusing on short-term profits and forgetting long-term interests. The strategy of making friends with Qi and Yan and using the cities occupied by our Zhao State in exchange for the grain and grass material funding of Qi and Yan is really the best strategy for my Zhao State at present. ”

Then he shook his head and said to Lin Xiangru with emotion: "Tian Dan has also discussed this matter with me before, and I agree with Tian Dan's opinion. But...... But now is not the reign of the first king and Zhao Weihou, the king will not adopt it, what can I do? ”

After listening to Yu Qing's words, Lin Xiangru also sighed like Yu Qing. The two sat in the study and were speechless for a long time.

Handan, Mafu Junfu.

After Zhao Kuo heard the news, he laughed and said: "Now, my Zhao Guo can be bullied by the Qin State, all because of Tian Dan, Lian Po and other old children who love the power position, and they don't want to let the virtuous do it. The king is like this, it is really a large part of the people's hearts, and it is exciting. ”

Then he said to the old housekeeper next to him: "Prepare a gift, I will personally go to the Pingyuan Jun's mansion to congratulate Pingyuan Junrong on being Zhao Xiang." ”

Handan, Wangchujun's Mansion.

After Le Yi fled from Yan to Zhao, he was courteous to Zhao and was named Prince Wang.

At this moment, Su Dai, who came to the mansion and reported the news of Tian Dan's resignation, said: "King Zhao is the same as King Yan Huixian, who was enthroned in my Yan Kingdom, young and vigorous. At this moment, the Zhao Qin war is imminent, but Tian Dan's resignation happened in Zhao State. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head slightly, and said to Su Dai: "The old man thinks that this time Zhao Qin is in the party war, I am afraid that my Yan country will be defeated again!" ”

After listening to this, Su Dai said to Le Yi: "What the general said is extremely true, Tian Dan understands military affairs and is good at strategy, when my Yan country attacked Qi, it was defeated at the hands of this person, and we came to Qi from Yan, and it was also thanks to this person."

Now that Zhao Guo has changed his appearance, although Pingyuan Jun has the name of "Xian", but in terms of military strategy, he is far away! I'm afraid that this time the battle of Zhao Qin will be in danger! General, can you write to King Zhao and explain this matter? ”

Le Yi shook his head again and said: "The old man heard that Zhao Guoshang Lin was similar, and wanted to enter the palace to meet King Zhao, but he was rejected by King Zhao. I and other people who live in Zhao Kingdom, I am afraid that the book will disgust King Zhao, but it is not beautiful! ”

Su Dai nodded, remembered something, and said to Le Yi: "General, do you know that my Yan Kingdom is in Liaodi, and two counties have been established?" ”

Le Yi smiled and said to Su Dai: "The old man often exchanges letters with old friends such as Ju Xin and Zou Yan. That son, Ji Kang, is not a loss to me after the first king of Yan Zhao, at such an age, but he has done such a big thing, which is admirable! ”

Then I didn't know what to remember, my heart soured, and I closed my eyes.

His tone was slow, and his voice trembled and he said to Su Dai: "Old man, I really want to go...... Go to Liaodi, go to see old friends, go to see Gongzi Kang, who is often said to be like the first king of Yan Zhao, and go to see if Liaodi, which is prosperous and prosperous as said by old friends...... Is it true? The old man is ashamed of King Zhaoxian! ”

After that, two lines of old tears rolled out.

Seeing this, Su Dai's eyes were also red, and he didn't speak.

After a long time, Le Yi opened his eyes and said to Su Dai: "Master Su, I'm afraid you have received a letter from Liaodi, right?" ”

Su Dai looked at Le Yi and nodded.

Le Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Master Su, the old man is respected as a guest by King Zhao, if he goes to Liaodi again, I am afraid it is not appropriate. And now the four counties of Liaodi in our Yan country are the time to employ people. Master Su, you can go to Liaodi and assist Gongzi Ji Kang. The upper can repay the grace of the first king of Yan Zhao, and the lower can show the ambition of life. ”

Su Dai thought for a while and said, "Don't hide it from the general, I have this intention." With the same concerns as the general, he could only wait for the opportunity to say goodbye and go to Liaodi. ”

After hearing this, Le Yi sighed and said, "That's the only way!" ”

Shangdang, Light Wolf City, General's Mansion.

After the veteran Lian Po received a letter from Shangqing Lin Xiangru, he learned the news of Tian Dan's resignation.

sighed with emotion, and said to Feng Ting, the guard of Shangdang County: "The king is dissatisfied with our loss of the four counties of Shangdang and the defense line of Kongcangling!" ”

Feng Ting was taken aback and said to Lian Po: "Old general, how should this be?" ”

Lian Po looked up to the sky and sighed: "The only way to do your best is to obey the destiny of heaven!" ”

The news of Tian Dan's resignation reached the Qi Kingdom, and the regent queen was very unhappy when she saw this. said to the ministers: "Since Zhao Guo treats my Qi country as a meritorious person like this, he is underestimating my Qi country!" In the future, there is no need for our Qi State to interact with Zhao State. ”

The same is true of all the ministers.

When the news of Tian Dan's resignation reached Xiangping City, Ji Kang was in the secretary's pavilion to meet with Huang Yong, the director of the intelligence bureau, who had returned from Qin and Zhao.
