Chapter 31: Changing Generals (Part II)

Zhao Sheng looked at Yu Qing and stood up and said, "King, Weichen thinks that if you contact Wei and Chu now, you won't be able to help." Let Li Mu and Pang Xuan's army go south, and I will face the Xiongnu and Yan in the north, I am afraid that there will be an accident. ”

"The king, Weichen still thinks that let Zhao Kuo go to the party and lead the army to give it a try. Our Zhao army currently has 400,000 troops in Shangdang, and the defense line is solid. If Zhao Kuo really can't do it, the situation won't be bad there. When the time comes, we'll just remove him. But if Zhao Kuo can defeat the Qin army, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds! ”

King Zhao nodded and said to the ministers: "This Zhao Kuo has very good courage. Some time ago, he also wrote to the widow, saying that he would lead the troops to the army and go to the party. ”

Yu Qing hurriedly said: "King, don't do it!" General Zhao Kuo is very young and lacks experience in leading troops alone. The war of the party is related to the country of Zhao Guo. Weichen thought that it would be better to let General Lian Po continue to command our army on the front line. ”

Zhao Wangdan saw that the ministers were arguing, so he asked Zhao Bao, Pingyang Jun, who had not expressed his opinion: "Pingyang Jun, do you think it is appropriate to let Zhao Kuo go to the party and replace Lian Po?" ”

Zhao Bao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "King, what Weichen heard from the ministers just now, it makes sense. But Weichen knew that although this Zhao Kuo was the son of Ma Fujun, he had no experience in leading an army to fight. ”

"Your Majesty, the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line of the party, the life and death of my Zhao country, really have to be handed over to this Zhao Kuo's hands, Weichen feels inappropriate. If you really want to replace General Lian Po, why not let Jun Leyi, the prince with rich military experience, go to the party, replace Lian Po, and command my Zhao army? ”

After Lin Xiangru and Yu Qing heard Zhao Bao's words, they were immediately overjoyed. It seems that the idea of changing generals has been decided, but if Le Yi is asked to replace Lian Po, it is not a good choice.

The two stood up together and said to King Zhao: "King, what Pingyang Jun said is extremely true, and the ministers seconded it. ”

Yu Qing then added: "King, if you have to change generals, it is an excellent choice for Prince Wangjun Leyi. General Le Yi is familiar with military strategy, not inferior to Bai Qi, the general of Qin. If he is allowed to go to the party, replace Lian Po, and command our Zhao army to confront the Qin army, our army will inevitably defeat the Qin army. ”

Lou Chang was surprised when he heard it, mom! You, Pingyang Jun, have found out Le Yi again, this Le Yi is even more ruthless than Lian Po! As a general in the Yan Kingdom, he led 400,000 troops, and almost wiped out the most powerful Qi State at that time! Let him go to the party, Qin Jun still can't please him, and it will be worse than the current situation.

Thinking of this, Lou Chang hurriedly stood up and said to King Zhao: "King, this matter is not appropriate. Le Yi is the person who abandoned Yan and voted for Zhao, although he was named the prince of hope by my Zhao State, but his heart was not attached, and it was not appropriate to use it. If the incident of Yan State attacking Qi happens again, my Zhao State will be in danger! ”

Then, he turned to Zhao Bao and said: "Pingyang Jun, the major affairs of the country should be treated with public intentions, and you must not deal with them with selfish intentions." ”

The reason why Lou Chang said this about Zhao Bao was because when he accepted the party the year before last, Zhao Bao did not agree with accepting the party. Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo was extremely dissatisfied with Zhao Bao's approach in the court, and once reprimanded Zhao Bao: "This is a pedantic approach, and people who don't know how to be flexible." ”

Zhao Bao's old face turned red, and he was about to step forward to defend himself with Lou Chang.

When Pingyang Jun Zhao Sheng saw this situation, he hurriedly "and thin mud", and said to Zhao Wangdan: "King, why don't you invite Zhao Kuo and inspect it to see if it is appropriate?" ”

Hearing this, King Zhao nodded. I know that if this kind of argument continues, it will still be the same as before, and there will be no results. However, the war of the party must find a way to resolve it as soon as possible.

He said to everyone: "Zhongqing, since this is the case." Think about it again, and go down first. ”

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison, "No." ”

After everyone left, King Zhao said to the attendant beside him: "You go to the Mafu Jun's Mansion, and immediately recruit Zhao Kuo, the son of Mafu, to meet you." ”

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

After Zhao Kuo received the summons from Zhao Wangdan, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed the attendants to the palace to meet King Zhao.

Looking at Zhao Kuo, who was bowing and bowing down in the hall, Zhao Dan said slowly: "Ma Fuzi, get up and speak." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." With that, Zhao Kuo stood up and bowed down to face his king.

When King Zhao saw this, he asked Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo, do you know what happened when this king passed you into the palace?" ”

Zhao Kuo replied confidently: "The king wants to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, so he summons a certain general to enter the palace. ”

King Zhao was a little surprised, and asked Zhao Kuo again: "General Lian Po, as a famous general." After three years on the front line of the party, why can't you defeat the Qin army? ”

Zhao Kuo replied: "Great King, the best time for our army to defeat the Qin army was three years ago, but General Lian Po built a fortress at that time, and delayed the best fighter to defeat the Qin army. Now in the Shangdang area, I, Zhao and Qin have gathered more than 800,000 troops, and it is time for a showdown, and it will be decided by a battle. ”

The young king was overjoyed to see that what Zhao Kuo said was exactly what he thought in his heart. He then asked Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo, who do you think can win this time when the two countries of Zhao and Qin are facing off in the party?" ”

Zhao Kuo said without hesitation: "King, the brave can win." ”

Zhao Wangdan listened, nodded, and had already recognized Zhao Kuo, so he said to Zhao Kuo bluntly: "General Zhao Kuo, if you are asked to command my party army, can you be sure of a quick victory and defeat the Qin army?" ”

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he swore to King Zhao and replied: "King, if the Qin State sends Bai up, Weichen will have to think about it seriously." Now the commander of the Qin State in the party is Wang Di, who is just Lian Po's opponent. If he was replaced by Weichen, it would be easy to defeat the Qin army led by Wang Yi. ”

After Zhao Dan heard Zhao Kuo's words, he was overjoyed. Then he asked: "General Zhao Kuo, how long can you defeat the Qin army led by Wang Yi?" ”

Zhao Kuo replied: "King, if the king uses me Zhao Kuo as a general." Zhao Kuo can give you a military order here, the long is two months, the short is one month, and the army led by Weichen will definitely be able to defeat the Qin army. ”

After hearing this, King Zhao pondered for a long time and made up his mind in his heart. said to Zhao Kuo: "General Zhao Kuo, tomorrow in the court, can you be sure to persuade the courtiers to take your opinion?" ”

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he said to King Zhao categorically: "Your Excellency, the minister is sure." ”

After Zhao Kuo walked out of the palace, he immediately met with Lou Chang, the eldest husband who supported him as the commander of the Zhao army of the Shangdang, and told Lou Chang about the situation of meeting King Zhao.

Lou Chang smiled and said to Zhao Kuo: "General Zhao Kuo, you are ready, enter the palace tomorrow to the ministers of the court and publicize your views." You remember, I and many ministers are supportive of your idea. ”

Zhao Kuo tacitly said to Lou Chang gratefully: "So, thank you Lord Lou Chang." ”

On July 3, the main hall of the Dragon Palace of Zhao Guo.

After King Zhao sat down on the throne, he looked at His Royal Highness's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and said to the attendant beside him: "Zhao Kuo, the son of the horse service, will meet you." ”

The attendant immediately shouted loudly: "The king has an order, Xuan Zhao Kuo enters the palace." ”

Zhao Kuo, who had been waiting outside the Dragon Palace for a long time, heard the order to announce his entry into the palace, and knew that the important moment in his life had arrived, so he reorganized his appearance and walked calmly into the main hall of the Dragon Palace by stepping on the steps.

After Zhao Kuo entered the hall, he hugged his fists and bowed to Zhao Wang Dan and said, "Minister Zhao Kuo, please see the king." ”

At this time, King Zhao said directly to Zhao Kuo: "Excuse me, Zhao Kuo, discuss your strategy for attacking and defending the party." You and my ministers of Zhao State can know everything, talk about everything, talk about your thoughts! ”

Zhao Kuo bowed and said: "The ministers obey the king's edict." ”

Xiangguo Zhao Sheng first said to Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Kuo, I heard that you intend to change, General Lian Po's defensive strategy, why is it so?" ”

Zhao Kuo replied: "The art of war: the use of soldiers is important in quick battles, quick decisions, and quick victories, and it is not appropriate to delay without reason. Otherwise, morale will be exhausted and there will be no sharpness; Second, a protracted war will deplete material resources, exhaust national strength, and even endanger the country. Therefore, the art of war cloud: there is a shortage of generals who can win quickly in a quick battle, but there are few people who have not heard of a long battle. It is the way of conquest, and there is little difference between fighting for a long time and defeat. ”.
