Handan, Longtai.

Zhao Dan read a piece of music in front of him with a serious face.

"The king of the ministers:

Since Wang Jian led the Qin army into the Kou a month ago, the minister has led the army to fight Wang Jian several times, winning and losing half of the battle.

From the perspective of the minister, this son is quite experienced in using soldiers, and has the style of a general, if he is allowed to grow, it may become a big trouble in the future.

But please rest assured, as long as there are ministers stationed there, then Wang Jian will definitely not be able to capture Xiheye. ”

Zhao Dan looked at this recital and was silent for a long time.

In fact, it can be easily seen from this, that is, Pang Xuan actually felt a lot of pressure when facing Wang Qian.

According to the intelligence, this time Wang Jian led the 100,000 most elite Qin troops, while Pang Xuan led 30,000 cavalry of the Zhao State Border Cavalry Corps and 50,000 county soldiers mobilized from Hedong County, Shangjun, Jinyang and other places of Zhao State.

In terms of combat effectiveness, although the number of troops on Pang Xuan's side is smaller, due to the presence of cavalry, the combat effectiveness of both sides can actually be regarded as five or five.

Under such circumstances, Wang Jian was able to fight with Pang Xuan in a situation where the winners and losers were actually quite an amazing performance.

After all, Pang Xuan is a veteran who has been famous for a long time, and Wang Jian is just a rookie who has just commanded this kind of large-scale war for the second time.

Zhao Dan secretly sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, he is the most stable person among the four famous generals of the Warring States, this Wang Jian is really a demon-like guy." ”

Zhao Dan closed the fold and said to Zhao Sheng, the Pingyuan Jun in front of him: "Pingyuanjun, you will send an order, and then send 30,000 young men from the original Korean region to support the direction of General Pang Xuan, remember to let people carefully screen and bring those unstable elements to the battlefield." By the way, Bai Qi's son seems to have been in the Yulin Army for a few years, right? If there is no problem, let him be a general this time. ”

Korea is located in the western part of the Central Plains, although the area is small but the population is quite large, after the conquest of Korea, the population of Zhao increased by about 1.5 million, and the recruitment of 30,000 people is not a big problem.

In fact, this is also a common strategy used by countries in the Warring States Period, after all, although the country is destroyed, it does not mean that the people of the country are completely obedient.

For example, the Yan Kingdom has been destroyed for many years, but now there are several to a dozen rebellions breaking out in the hometown of the Yan Kingdom every year.

Although these rebellions are usually on the scale of a few dozen or even hundreds of people, they can be easily quelled, but they also prove that it is very difficult to completely win over the hearts and minds of the people in a place in just two or three years.

In order to effectively reduce the rebellion, it is a very effective strategy to recruit those potential rebels and send them to the battlefield to consume.

Not only can these unstable factors be directly under the surveillance of the army, but they can also be effectively used to consume the enemy's vital forces, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It is not only Zhao and Zhao Dan who use this trick, like the Battle of Changping in history, Qin Wangji requisitioned all the young men of Hanoi County, who had just been conquered by the Qin army, to outflank the retreat of the Zhao army, and then there was a desperate Zhao Kuo who was trapped for forty days and Bai Qi's Changping victory.

Zhao Sheng responded, hesitated for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Great King, the minister thinks that with General Pang Xuan's ability, it should be more than enough to deal with this Wang Qian, and if he sends troops to support him, it seems that there is no need for this." ”

As Pang Xuan's ally, Zhao Sheng certainly wanted to speak for Pang Xuan.

In Zhao Sheng's opinion, where is it necessary to make such a big move to deal with just one Wang Qian?

Therefore, Zhao Sheng felt that this might be a manifestation of Zhao Dan's dissatisfaction with Pang Xuan, or his doubts about Pang Xuan's ability.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng said this to support Pang Xuan, so that Pang Xuan would not lose too many points in Zhao Dan's heart.

After saying this, Zhao Sheng was also a little apprehensive in his heart.

To tell the truth, Zhao Dan is now becoming more and more authoritative, even if Zhao Sheng, an old minister of the three dynasties and the identity of Uncle Wang, do not dare to put on any show, but is more careful to clamp his tail and do things.

Zhao Sheng's heart is the same as Spiegel, the current Yu Xin is staring at his position, and he must not make any mistakes at this time, so that Yu Xin can get a chance to replace himself.

Thinking that Yu Xin was now taking credit for himself in the Chu State, Zhao Sheng's heart was a little depressed, if only he could go to the Chu State.

At this time in the Zhao Kingdom, the trend of civil and military differentiation has been very obvious, and the possibility of military generals winning the phase has been infinitely reduced, to the point of almost zero.

In such a situation, it is basically impossible for Yu Xin, as a civil minister, to have the opportunity to lead the army alone to destroy the country, after all, Lian Po Pang Xuan Li Mu and a bunch of generals are still alive, which round will get Yu Xin?

As long as Yu Xin can't get this merit of destroying the country, then it is impossible for him to pose any threat to Zhao Sheng.

The premise is that Zhao Sheng does not make mistakes.

Out of caution, Zhao Sheng not only hoped that he would not make any mistakes, but also that his allies would not make any mistakes.

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng, and didn't know that his uncle Wang and Xiangbang had flashed so many thoughts in this short period of time, but smiled at Zhao Sheng and said, "Pingyuanjun, don't underestimate this Wang Qian." The widow can assert that in the future in the battle to destroy Qin, this Wang Jian must be the biggest trouble for the widow's army. ”

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but feel a little disapprehensive when he saw that Zhao Dan attached so much importance to a "little-known" military general of the Qin State, but his face did not show the slightest emotion, but said with the same smile: "What the king said is extremely true, since this is the case, then the minister will order people to levy the young and strong." However, the king doesn't have to worry, if there is that person in Xianyang, it should be easier to take the Qin State at that time. ”

Zhao Sheng didn't specifically say the name of that person, but both Zhao Dan and Zhao Sheng knew very well in their hearts that this was the current Qin State Prime Minister Lu Buwei.

Zhao Dan snorted, but remembered another thing in his heart.

When Lü Buwei came to Handan last year, Lü Buwei at that time kept saying that as long as he gave his plan to swap land a chance, Lü Buwei would have the hope of winning Cai Ze and becoming the most prominent guy in the political arena of Qin.

But now that more than half a year has passed, Cai Ze is still alive and well in the political arena of the Qin State.

Isn't that wrong?

Zhao Dan thought about it and decided to put this matter aside for the time being.

As a powerful minister who can leave a name in history, although Lü Buwei's performance over the years is not as brilliant as in history, it is enough to prove that he is indeed a very capable person.

"Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, since this is the case, then let him play on his own." Zhao Dan made up his mind in his heart, so he discussed other state affairs with Zhao Sheng.

What Zhao Dan didn't know was that at this time, Lu Buwei, who was far away in Xianyang, was in great trouble.
