Chapter 2 Crises 19 Yanshan is on fire
The simple and majestic Jicheng Arrow Tower stands majestically in the lush Yanshan peaks.
Yan Wang Ji Xi, who had just ascended the throne, was stunned at the pile of tall pieces in front of the case at this time, and took a few of them and opened them to take a look, all of which were content that prevented him from attacking Zhao. The more Yan Wang looked at it, the more irritated he felt, and finally couldn't help but put down his pen heavily and pushed all the pieces to the ground. I secretly thought in my heart, since the news of the failure of the Pingyang Jungong Revolution reached the Yan State, those ministers who originally supported the attack on Zhao changed their minds one after another, and explained the reason, in the final analysis, it was nothing more than fear of the Zhao State.
Suddenly, the chamberlain came to report: "The general is asking to see him." ”
Le Jian is the second son of Le Yi, because of the suspicion of the previous king, Le Cheng fled to Zhao with his father Le Yi, and Le Jian chose to stay in Yan State, inherited the title of Chang State, and rightly became the general of Yan State.
King Yan yawned lazily: "Pass him in." ”
After the greeting was finished, King Yan waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and then said listlessly: "The general is here to discourage this king, and the king has already seen it." ”
"The minister thinks that the country of Zhao Sizhan is also! Although the situation is declining, the war with Qin has lasted for decades, and its people will be defeated if they suddenly raise troops to attack them! The ministers were loyal and begged the king to take back his order. Rakuma said in a begging tone.
King Yan said quietly: "I will kill the widow with the crowd, and the two will cut down the one, but what?" ”
"No!" Rakuma replied without hesitation.
King Yan straightened up a little annoyed, and glared at Le Jian fiercely: "I'm going to cut one with five, but what?" ”
"No!" The music is still unequivocal.
King Yan couldn't help but sneer, and scolded: "The general is afraid of meeting his brothers." ”
Hearing what King Yan said, Le Jian hurriedly stood up with tears in his eyes: "The ministers are the country, and the heavens and the earth can learn from them!" ”
King Yan waved his hand impatiently, and said solemnly: "There is no need to mention the matter of cutting Zhao, if there is nothing else, let me step down." ”
Seeing that the admonition could not be stopped, Le Jian had to sigh slightly, and said helplessly: "Dare to ask the king, how to kill Zhao?" ”
"I would like to hear the general's high opinion." King Yan still admires Lejian's military talents, as long as he doesn't dissuade himself from attacking Zhao, Lejian is still willing to listen.
Le Jian lowered his head and thought for a long time, and was about to speak, when suddenly a person walked in from outside the hall, and Le Jian turned his head to see that it was the prime minister's chestnut belly. As soon as Lema saw the thick and fat face of the chestnut belly, an indescribable disgust gushed out from the bottom of his heart for some reason, and he stopped talking at the moment.
Chestnut also saw the coldness of the music room, but he bowed down to the music room disapprovingly and smiled: "General." ”
Lema then arched his hand coldly, which was regarded as a return salute.
Contrary to the coldness of the music room, King Yan suddenly became excited when he saw the chestnut belly, and the lazy expression just now was swept away in an instant: "The prime minister is here?" ”
Chestnut straightened his fat belly, and raised his head and said: "The minister has found out that Zhao Guo has passed through the two battles of Changping Hangu Pass, and there are less than 100,000 elites in the country, so take this opportunity to attack Zhao and win a complete victory." ”
"Oh? The general said that he would be defeated, and the prime minister said that he would win, but why? A curious look appeared on King Yan's face.
"The general's words are also ridiculous!" Chestnut shook his head, and said proudly, "Zhao Jiexinjun, how can you defeat my Great Yan's hundred battles?" Sheng Zhao, the tiger drives cattle and sheep! The minister is willing to lead an army of 600,000 troops, divide the troops into two routes, replace Yan first, and then force Handan, and capture Zhao Dan to sacrifice to my king! My king only needs to lie in the city of thistle and wait for the good news! ”
"Nonsense! Everyone knows it! Chestnut belly, straw bag general also! Such courtiers and mediocre people are only defeated and mislead the country! That is, if the army is dispatched, the Yan country will be full of generals, and the king will see clearly! After listening to Chestnut's remarks, Le Jian was furious, knelt on the ground, pointed at Chestnut, and shouted loudly.
I didn't want King Yan to sneer: "The general is unwilling to attack Zhao, isn't he afraid of Zhao Guo and Zhao Kuohu?" Why isn't it a straw bale? The king has made up his mind! Chestnut belly is a general, raising 600,000 soldiers from the country, and choosing an auspicious day to attack Zhao! ”
"King!" Le Jian got up and wanted to admonish again, but King Yan had already flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
"General, don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, get excited and hurt your body." Chestnut walked up to Rakuma, patted him on the shoulder, then looked up and laughed, and walked out of the main hall, leaving Rakuma alone standing there.
The news that Yan wanted to raise 600,000 troops to invade the border reached Handan a few days later, and King Zhao, under the anger, immediately summoned Zhao Kuo, Pingyuan Jun, and Le Cheng into the palace to discuss countermeasures.
As soon as the four of them met, King Zhao summarized and stated the news sent back by the scouts and merchants from all walks of life, and then knocked on the book case and said excitedly: "All the ministers are important ministers of the country, so you might as well speak up if you have any opinions." ”
Pingyuan Jun said with a smile: "Ji Xi thinks that I and the Qin State are both defeated, so I want to be a fisherman's profit, how ridiculous!" The 200,000 new army has been training day after day, and it has become a combat force! ”
Zhao Kuo got up and added: "Pingyuan Jun's words are great! The minister thought that the Yan army would be defeated, and there were four reasons: first, the division was nameless, and the division was nameless, so how could it be done? Second, the troops are scattered, and the scattered troops are easy to break through! The three Yan generals are incompetent, chestnut-bellied, and only know how to flatter the monarch, and they don't know anything about military affairs, but they are straw bag generals! Fourth, the Yan army is weak, the Yan country has been poor and weak for a long time, how can the weak soldiers of the country be strong? How can you win even longer distances? ”
After listening to the remarks of Ping Yuanjun and Zhao Kuo, King Zhao felt a sense of peace in his heart, and said with a smile: "You can't live if you do your own evil!" After laughing, King Zhao turned his head to look at Lecheng, who was standing silently on the side, "What does General Lecheng think?" ”
Since Lecheng returned from the defeat at Hangu Pass and escaped the death penalty by luck, he has been at home behind closed doors, learning from the pain, and every time he thinks of what he did before, he is ashamed. Today, King Zhao suddenly summoned himself to the palace, and he was even more frightened in his heart. Seeing that the king asked about himself at this moment, Le Cheng hurriedly got up and replied: "The minister is willing to stick to Daicheng, so that the Yan army cannot go south to rescue." Ma Fujun faced his main force Yu Yan and won a complete victory. ”
Zhao Kuo said: "What the minister thinks is the same, if General Lecheng sticks to the city with 50,000 soldiers and horses, the minister will not have to worry about it." ”
"That's it!" King Zhao's eyes suddenly flashed, "It's just who can be the deputy general of Ma Fujun?" ”
Pingyuan Jun had been thinking about it for many days, so he stood up without hurry: "The old minister thinks that the old general Lian Po can take on this heavy responsibility. ”
"Lian Po? Uncle Wang is confused! The old general was already in the state of Chu. King Zhao smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
Pingyuan Jun smiled slightly, and said confidently: "The minister heard that the old general was depressed in the Chu State, and he already had remorse for the negative things back then. If you can take this opportunity to invite back the old general, you will also benefit the country! ”
King Zhao then stood up solemnly and said: "This is reasonable, so according to Uncle Wang, I immediately sent someone to Chu to welcome back the old general." ”
As Pingyuan Jun expected, as soon as the envoy sent by King Zhao arrived in Chu State, the old general Lian Po really returned to China with the envoy without saying a word.
The army was about to start, and Zhao Kuo, who had been in the military camp for more than half a month, finally returned to the mansion, not caring about the fatigue of the carriage and horses, Zhao Kuo took Ji Xue's hand and hurriedly said: "Ji Xue, Kuo is about to set off to conquer Yan Kingdom." ”
"Yan Guo ......" Hearing these two words, Ji Xue's heart couldn't help but sour, and tears flowed down. Yan Guo, what a familiar name, it is a hometown that I have never been to, but I am haunted by my dreams, "Ji Xue wants to go with her son." ”
"Yes...... But after all, you are a daughter's ......," Zhao Kuo said with some embarrassment.
I don't want Ji Xue to wipe her tears and giggle: "As long as the son has a heart, this is not difficult." ”
"Oh?" Zhao Kuo looked at Ji Xuelihua's rainy face lovingly, "What do you have in mind again?" ”
"Ji Xuemo's family has practiced for ten years, and they all know a little bit about swordsmanship, if they pretend to be men, they may be able to help their son." Ji Xue looked at Zhao Kuo with a smile, waiting for Zhao Kuo's answer with a look of antiquity.
Zhao Kuo stroked Ji Xue's silky hair, lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said with a faint smile: "This is also a reason, but you can't call Ji Xue in the army anymore." ”
Seeing that Zhao Kuo had already agreed, Ji Xue was overjoyed: "Ji Xue is from Yan, but she was born in Zhao Kingdom, so how about calling Zhao Yan?" ”
"That's Zhao Yan! It's Zhao Yan! Zhao Kuo was reluctant to leave Ji Xue in his heart, so he ordered his soldiers to take a set of small clothes and armor for Ji Xue to change into.
Not long after, a handsome and handsome young general appeared in front of Zhao Kuo's eyes, only to see Ji Xue suddenly raise his chest, and shouted in a rough voice: "The last general, Zhao Yan, see the general." ”
Looking at Ji Xue's funny appearance, Zhao Kuo couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help laughing.
