Zhao Guo.

"Great King, the news from the south that the Qin-Han coalition army has broken through the important town of Dengdi, the Han army is like a bamboo, and has captured nearly half of the land in northern Han, and the Qin army is besieging Xiangyang, as long as the Qin army conquers Xiangyang, then the Qin-Han coalition army can drive straight into the south and go south to Yingdu, the capital of Chu.

In addition, at the request of South Korea, Chu Zilan had already made a detour to South Korea and went to the Qin-Han coalition army. ”

King Zhao listened to Lou Zhuan's report, and his pupils shrank slightly: "The results of the Qin-Han coalition are even greater than we expected, and once the prince of Chu rushes to the occupied area of the Chu State, I am afraid that this time the strength of the Chu State will be seriously weakened." ”

Fei Yi replied with a heavy face: "What the king said is good, now the Song State has captured more than 500 miles north of the Chu State, and the Qin-Han coalition army has also seized most of the territory of the Chu State, and the Wei State will take the land of Chen Cai later." In this way, the losses of the Chu State have far exceeded the gains obtained from the Yue State not long ago. ”

"And that's not all!" Zhao Cheng then spoke: "If Prince Lan of Chu officially becomes the king of Chu, then in order to suppress the opponents within the Chu State, in order to obtain the support of Qin and Han, I am afraid that the Chu State will cede all the two places of Wancheng and Fangcheng to Qin and Han, so that the loss of Chu will be even greater." ”

King Zhao's eyes closed slightly when he heard this, and then he pulled his beard while falling into thought.

After a long time, King Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, and then he said with a firm face: "A Chu State that is too strong is not in the interests of our Zhao State, and similarly, a Chu State that has been seriously weakened is not in the interests of my Zhao State. The widow needs to have a strong enough Chu state in the south to contain the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Wei, otherwise, the strength of these three countries will become a worry for the Zhao state, especially the tiger and wolf Qin state. ”

Zhao Wen asked with a heavy face, "What does the king mean?" ”

"The alliance of the six countries must be dismantled, the overall situation of the six countries besieging the Chu State must be dismantled, and the Chu State must be given a chance to breathe." King Zhao said without hesitation.

Zhao Wen arched his hand and said: "King, if our Zhao State betrays all countries, it will undoubtedly be hostile to all countries, which will be detrimental to Zhao State's next actions." ”

"Who said that the collapse of the alliance of countries requires Zhao Guo to take the initiative to betray!" King Zhao said with a smile: "After the widow heard that the Yan State should send troops to the Northern Expedition at the distance of the widow, the Zhongshan Kingdom was ready to move, and there were frequent conflicts on the border between the Yan State and the Zhongshan Kingdom. Therefore, in order to relieve the worries of Yan State, the widow planned to officially send troops to teach Zhongshan Guo a lesson. ”

As he spoke, King Zhao asked Zhao Cheng, "General, are Handan's troops ready?" ”

Zhao Cheng responded excitedly: "Back to the king, the army of 100,000 is already ready. ”

"Good!" King Zhao said with a smile: "Pass the edict of the widow, three days later, the widow will lead an army of 100,000 to conquer Zhongshan in person."

The order was sent to the general Niu Qian, and he immediately led the soldiers of Daidi, as well as the two cavalry soldiers of Lou Fu Lin and Hu, to attack Zhongshan Kingdom from the north. ”

The edict was issued, and King Zhao said with a firm face: "This time, the main forces of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Yan are all contained, and they have no time to take care of Zhongshan, such a great opportunity, and the widow has been preparing for more than a year, not destroying the Zhongshan Kingdom, and vowing not to give up." ”

At this time, when Zhao Cheng heard that King Zhao wanted to conquer Zhongshan Kingdom in person, instead of letting him lead the army to the expedition, he suddenly said with a stiff face: "King, the war is fierce, the king is the body of ten thousand gold, and this kind of thing to attack Zhongshan Kingdom, please leave it to the minister." ”

King Zhao shook his head and refused: "This war is related to the national fortune of Zhao State, and I need to go all out of Zhao State, so the widow must go there in person to rest assured." As for you, the general, you should guard Handan for the widows! Handan is too close to Wei, and there must be a general to defend it personally, so that the few people can attack Zhongshan with all their hearts. ”

Before Zhao Cheng could speak, on the other side, Zhao Wen, who was worried that Zhao Cheng would make great contributions and would replace his own phase, spoke first: "Since the king wants to conquer Zhongshan in person, then please take the prince back from the dynasty to calm people's hearts." ”

On the other side, Zhao Cheng saw that Zhao Wen directly confirmed the fact that King Zhao was personally recruited, and he was immediately furious, and before he could speak, he heard King Zhao say again:

"No need, this attack on Zhongshan is a national war, the crown prince, as the son of a widow, and as the prince of Zhao, how can he not participate in it. Therefore, this time, let the prince go to Zhongshan with the general, thinking that he would be experienced. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were all shocked, and looked at King Zhao in disbelief, not knowing what King Zhao was thinking.

Zhao Wen immediately spoke: "King, this matter is not appropriate, the battle is dangerous, and besides, the prince is only sixteen years old, and he has not yet performed the crown salute, how can he go on the expedition?" ”

"Yes, please think twice!"

The exhortation of the ministers did not shake the determination of King Zhao, and King Zhao was extremely determined: "Zhuqing does not need to persuade again, ordinary people will be called up to fight at the age of fourteen, and the son of the widow is already sixteen, why can't he go out to fight." Besides, the widow became the king of Zhao at the age of fifteen, and the prince was sixteen, so why not lead the army to the expedition. ”

Saying that, King Zhao said undoubtedly: "After the widow goes on the expedition, please ask Xiangguo, the general, and the gentleman to deal with state affairs together." ”

Zhao Wen and Zhao Cheng Feiyi saw that King Zhao's mind had been decided, and then remembered that there was still King Zhao's son in Handan, so they could only helplessly respond: "Only! ”

King Zhao nodded, and continued: "Spread the edict of the widow and send an envoy to the Song State to tell Qiu Li that the Song State should make peace with the Chu State."

In addition, send an envoy to the Yiqu country, now the Qin army is all in Chu, it is difficult to return in a short time, if the king of Yiqu wants to take revenge on the Qin country and recover the lost land, this is the right time..."

Qi country.

Chu Zi reported to Qi Wangyu with a look of surprise: "Great King, the news from Zhao Guo, not long ago, Zhao Guobing divided into two ways and had already attacked Zhongshan Guo. ”

King Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then slammed the table hard, letting out a series of loud laughs.

After laughing, the king of Qi sighed with joy: "The widow has long known that Zhao has other plans, and he did not give up the opportunity to lure and annihilate the main force of the Chu army in vain, and took the initiative to transfer the army of Zhao and Yan from the north to the south, and took the initiative to attack Huaiyin City. Now, King Zhao has finally revealed his ambitions and sent troops to attack Zhongshan. ”

Chu Zi also breathed a sigh of relief, and responded: "Great King, when the Wei State was about to capture Chencheng, the Zhao State brazenly sent troops to our Qi State's ally Zhongshan State, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly a betrayal of the Qi State and a betrayal of the alliance of various countries. ”

King Qi nodded and said, "Yes, the widow will send envoys to the four kingdoms of Qin, Han, Wei and Song, and ask all countries to jointly condemn Zhao." ”

Saying that, King Qi hesitated again: "Xiangguo, do we withdraw our troops from Huaiyin now to rescue Zhongshan." ”

"No!" Chu Ziying said: "King, now that Zhao has just attacked Zhongshan Kingdom, and there are still no results to come, it is better to stop Zhao State at this time, it is better to let the two countries have a decisive battle, and wait for them to lose both, and after Zhao State seizes part of Zhongshan Kingdom, then send troops to intervene."

In this way, if Wei worked in Chu to no avail, but Zhao took the opportunity to obtain a large amount of land, the minister thought that if this kind of thing happened, Wei would definitely resent King Zhao. ”
