Chapter 29: Rumors (Part II)

Entering June, the fighting in the Shangdang area became even more stalemate. The Qin army general Wang Jian led the Qin army, and once broke through the Lishui Henan gambling defense line from Jiebeiling, but then was driven back by Lian Po's Zhao army.

The people who are in the party have had enough of the war in recent years. In addition, Liaodi sent a large number of instructors to publicize the Liaodi government's policy on immigration to the Shangdang people. Therefore, most of the Shangdang people did not have much resistance to Liaodi and the Zhao government's practice of letting them move to Liaodi at the moment.

At all times, the people are very realistic.

Now that the war in Shangdang is so long, the people of Shangdang can't see any end time, and it looks very good that they choose to move to Liaodi at this moment.

In addition, the Shangdang people who went to Liaodi last year showed up in the law, so that the Shangdang people knew that the Liaodi government would take care of them along the way and arrange housing and land after they arrived in Liaodi. Everything that the Liaodi government has done has deeply touched the hearts of most of the people in the Shangdang.

Except for a small number of people who were reluctant to migrate, most of the Shangdang people obeyed the arrangements of the government and began to gather from Shangdang to the Yanzhao border, preparing to migrate to Liaodi by land and sea.

In other parts of Korea occupied by the Qin State, the controls were not very strict at present. Many South Korean people, after learning about the policy and news of the relocation to Liaodi, also poured into the party. In this regard, the officials in charge of the migration of displaced people in Liaodi were all overjoyed and did not refuse.

In mid-June, Lou Chang, the eldest husband in Handan, received a secret letter from his father Lou Zhan and Qin Xiang Fan Sui from Xianyang, Qin State. came with the secret letter, as well as the daughter that Qin Xiang Fan Sui asked people to bring to Lou Chang.

After reading the two secret letters, Lou Chang sat in the study for a long afternoon. It wasn't until night fell that he sighed and whispered to himself: "For the sake of my father and the future of the family, it seems that this is the only way to go." ”

Then after burning the two secret letters, he said to the butler waiting outside the door: "Tomorrow, I will invite a few officials who have befriended me to come to the mansion, and I will feast on them." ”

The butler hurriedly bowed down and said, "No." ”

At the same time, the Black Ice Terrace, Qin's secret spy organization, also issued orders to all the members deployed in Zhao State.

In a restaurant in Handan City, everyone sat together, eating and drinking, while talking about the current war between Zhao and Qin in Shangdang, which is also the most discussed topic by the people of Zhao State.

A man eating at a table said to a few people at the same table: "In my opinion, Lian Po, the commander of my Zhao State army who is now in command of the Shangdang, is indeed old!" He was afraid of the Qin army like a tiger and did not dare to engage the Qin army. In the past few years, hearing that this Lian Po saw that he couldn't defeat the Qin army, he was afraid that the king would blame him, and he was ready to surrender to the Qin State! ”

Several people at the same table were surprised and asked, "Is this true?" ”

At this point, the man lowered his voice and said to a few people at the same table: "Brothers, of course this is true, this news is absolutely reliable." I also heard that after the Qin army was defeated by my Zhao State, they were very afraid of Ma Fujun Zhao Hao and his son Zhao Kuo. ”

"I'm very afraid that I, Zhao Guo, will let General Zhao Kuo lead the troops and go to Shangdang to fight the Qin army. If General Zhao Kuo is allowed to take my Zhao army and fight against the Qin army in Shangdang, the Qin army will be scared to death. ”

Several people at the same table with this man nodded their heads when they heard this man say this.

When the man saw a few people at the same table, after approving his words, he said to the people: "Brothers, I have invited you for today's meal." Now I have something to do, now I'm going to take a step. ”

When the man walked out of the restaurant, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and then he walked towards another restaurant.

In late June, with the operation of Lou Chang and the secret spy organization of the Qin State Black Ice Terrace, there was such a news among the officials and people of the entire Handan City: "Qin Zhi is evil, and he is afraid of the horse suit Zhao Kuo, and it is easy to deal with, and it is down." ”

The decisive battle between Zhao and Qin in the party is concerned about the hearts of the people of Zhao at any time. Because in the Zhao army of the party, there were many sons, husbands, and fathers from the families of the people of Zhao who participated in the war with the army.

Every citizen of Zhao is looking forward to defeating the Qin army as soon as possible, so that their relatives can return home as soon as possible. Moreover, at this moment, in the hearts of many people who do not know the front line and the actual situation of the party, there is not the slightest doubt about the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army.

Because since the founding of the Zhao State, especially after the "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" of King Zhao Wuling, the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army is the top in the hearts of the people of Zhao State. This is not groundless, it was obtained by Zhao Jun after repeated battles with neighboring countries. The strength of Zhao Jun's combat effectiveness is also recognized by the world.

Therefore, at this moment, many people in Zhao State were also dissatisfied with the veteran Lian Po who did not attack the Qin army and only knew defense. So as soon as the news came out, whether it was a restaurant, a restaurant, or a street in Handan, the people were talking about it.

And this news, with the discussion of the people of Handan, gradually spread to other counties and counties in Zhao State.

June 28, Handan, Pingyuan County Government.

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was discussing the big battle that took place in the party at this time with many guests. got the report that Zhao Kuo came to visit Xiangguo. Zhao Sheng hurriedly asked someone to invite Zhao Kuo and arranged for him to take a seat.

At this time, Zhao Kuo, because of Zhao Wangdan's appreciation, was already well-known in Zhao State. Everyone knows that Zhao Kuo is valued by King Zhao and has a bright future in the future. And he himself is the son of the deceased famous general, Ma Fujun Zhao Hao.

In this era of attaching great importance to "blood" origin, this is a famous family. Therefore, people have regarded Zhao Kuo as a rising "general star" in Zhao Guo. Some people even compare Zhao Kuo with veterans such as Lian Po, Tian Dan, and Le Yi, who are famous under Zhao Guo.

In addition, Zhao Kuo himself is also very fond of showing off his eloquence and the art of using soldiers. On occasions of gatherings, when it comes to the use of soldiers, they often talk endlessly, and their mouths are like a river. This also made many ministers of Zhao State look at Zhao Kuo with admiration. Especially now the news circulating everywhere in Handan City makes people more optimistic about Zhao Kuo's prospects.

After Zhao Kuo entered the conference hall, he saluted and greeted many guests of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, and after sitting down, everyone continued the topic of the party that they had just discussed.

Zhao Sheng looked at Zhao Kuo and said to Zhao Kuo: "General Zhao Kuo, you are familiar with the art of war, I don't know what I think of the war between Zhao and Qin against the party?" ”

The young Zhao Kuo was full of spirits, and said to Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, and many of Zhao Sheng's disciples: "Xiangguo, General Lian Po is old!" It's no longer the courage it used to be. In the face of the Qin general Wang Di, he was afraid not to fight, retreated timidly, and did not dare to attack. Especially if you lose the city and lose your soldiers, it is really a shame for my Zhao country! ”

Zhao Sheng asked again: "If I let the general lead my army, is there a way to win the party as soon as possible?" Defeat the Qin army. ”

Zhao Kuo did not hesitate and said to Zhao Sheng: "Xiangguo, what's so difficult about this?" I regard the Qin army led by Wang Yi as a chicken and a dog! If a certain general leads my Zhao army, he will defeat the Qin army within a month to solve the worries of my Zhao country. ”

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, nodded again and again. Seeing this, many doormen, like many officials and people of Zhao State, blamed Lian Po and praised Zhao Kuo.

Sitting behind the many doormen, a young man who was only twenty-four or five years old frowned when he saw Zhao Kuo talking so exaggeratedly, but there was nothing more.

This doorman's name is Mao Sui, and he was only accepted by Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, at the end of last year. Because he just came, he was inconspicuous and unknown among Zhao Sheng's many disciples, so he naturally had no right to speak.

At this time, Lian Po, a veteran who fought against the Qin army on the front line, had been stationed in Shangdang for three consecutive years and had not returned to Handan. Of course, I don't know about the ups and downs in Handan City at this moment.

According to the experience of Ji Kang's previous life, it is inevitable that the veteran Lian Po has been out of touch with the court of Zhao for too long, which is a taboo in officialdom and is unacceptable at any time.

Lian Po was in the party, on the one hand, he commanded the Zhao army to fight against the Qin army; On the other hand, he constantly sent people to Zhao Wangdan to ask for soldiers, grain and grass, and military funds. No way! Since ancient times, wars have been fought with money, food, and logistics.

This made Zhao Wangdan very annoyed, because after three years of fighting with the Qin army in the party, if Zhao Guo had not been supported by Ji Kang in Liaodi, the current grain and grass military resources would have been unsustainable long ago.

Although Zhao Wangdan expressed his gratitude to his nephew Ji Kang for his support. But it is not comfortable for any king to give his people to someone else.

Zhao Wangdan was eager for Lian Po to lead the army, and immediately defeated or expelled the Qin army from the party. He was very dissatisfied with Lian Po's repeated disobedience to his orders to attack.

He convened the important ministers many times to discuss the war on the front line, and tried to find a way to end the war in the party as soon as possible, but every time these important ministers of the Zhao State were at a loss and could not come up with a good way.
