Chapter 183 Although Lian Po is happy to ride Pang Xuan, Li Mu is still the most important in the heart of the widow (first update)
The battle situation on the battlefield in the north is complicated and complicated, and it is not a problem to write a bamboo slip weighing dozens of catties for some unscrupulous people, but it is also very simple to say, and it can be summarized in a few sentences.
According to the battle report in front of Zhao Dan, Pang Xuan obviously took advantage of the carelessness of the chestnut belly due to the snow, and launched a thunderous surprise attack the day after the heavy snow stopped.
Although the Yan army led by Li Belly was twice as numerous as the Zhao army, it was defeated by the prepared Zhao army in a hurry.
In this battle, a young cavalry general from the garrison of Gaoque Sai was able to appear in the battle report because he captured the chestnut belly of the main general of the Yan army in the pursuit, and the name of this cavalry general was Li Mu.
The moment he saw the name Li Mu, Zhao Dan was very sure in his heart, this must be one of the four famous generals of the Warring States in history, Rong Ma has never been defeated in his life, and has the title of "God of Cavalry" General Li Mu!
To be honest, Zhao Dan was still a little worried before, because Zhao Dan had guessed before the war whether Li Mu would be in the Zhao army this time, in case Li Mu fell in this war that did not happen in history, then Zhao Dan's intestines are estimated to be repentant.
It's easy to get a thousand gold, and it's hard to find!
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
"It seems that gold will always shine, and even if a talent like Li Mu doesn't follow the original trajectory, he will still shine with his own light."
Zhao Dan's mood was very happy, or should I say - very happy.
He certainly had a reason to be pleasant.
Today's Zhao Guo is actually not short of famous generals, Lian Po, Lecheng, Pang Xuan, etc., all of them are generals who can take charge of themselves, and even Zhao Kuo may be able to become a talent if he cultivates it.
But in Zhao Dan's opinion, the importance of these people is not as important as Li Mu.
Although Lian Po and Pang Xuan are old and strong, they are old after all, and Le Cheng's words are not too young as Mesozoic generals, and although Zhao Kuo's words are about the same age as Zhao Dan, it is difficult to say whether they can be cultivated.
And Li Mu is different, first of all, Li Mu is bound to be able to come out and become a top general in the mainland, secondly, Li Mu's age is also very young, and the most important thing is that Li Mu also represents the emerging branch of the army that will dominate the war for nearly two thousand years in the future - cavalry!
In the entire feudal era of the earth, the largest empire established by human beings was called the Mongol Empire, and the reason why the Mongol Empire was able to sweep almost the entire Eurasian continent at the speed of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves was precisely because of the incomparably powerful and invincible Mongolian cavalry!
In this era when the chariot soldiers have not yet withdrawn from the stage, and the cavalry is still an auxiliary army, Zhao Dan believes that as long as Li Mu, the god of cavalry, is used well, and combined with Zhao Guo's border cavalry corps, which is already the best in the world, the role it will play will definitely exceed the imagination of everyone in this era.
In addition, Zhao Dan knew that in the grasslands in the north of the land of China, a tribal alliance called the Xiongnu had taken shape at this moment, and would become a famous Xiongnu empire in history under the leadership of a man named Mao Dun in the next few decades, bringing countless wars and border troubles to the land of China.
If you want to eliminate the Xiongnu in advance and even pacify the south and north of the desert, it is inseparable from the cavalry, let alone Li Mu.
Li Mu will not only be Zhao Dan's Wang Qian, but also Zhao Dan's Wei Qing, Huo Quai!
At this moment, Zhao Dan even had an impulse, an impulse to directly get Li Mu back to Handan and protect him directly.
But this idea just flashed through Zhao Dan's head, and then was vetoed by Zhao Dan.
If Li Mu is really made into a flower in a greenhouse, then how can he become the famous cavalry god in history? It is still the right way to let him be sharpened in the north as in history.
Zhao Dan raised his head happily, his face was full of smiles, and he raised the battle report in his hand: "This battle report should be circulated by all Aiqing."
A moment later, several ministers in the hall had finished circulating.
Zhao Sheng, who was the first to come back to his senses, rolled his eyes, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king." Pang Xuan and Ju Xin, the two generals, broke the chestnut belly army in Dai County, and it was the king who knew people well and was able to have this big victory! ”
Zhao Sheng's words obviously sounded like a sycophant.
But several other ministers in the hall actually felt that what Zhao Sheng said was very reasonable.
Pang Xuan and Ji Xin were indeed promoted by Zhao Dan and sent to the north to resist the Yan army.
Before being promoted by Zhao Dan, Pang Xuan was just a hermit, and Ji Xin was also a minister of the Yan Kingdom.
But these two old guys who seem to have a gloomy future and may even come to an end in their lives are promoted to the main and deputy generals of Zhao Guo under Zhao Dan's trust, bringing an incredible victory to Zhao Guo.
This is not discernment, so what is discernment?
Unconsciously, the respect for Zhao Dan in the hearts of the ministers of Zhao State has quietly increased a lot.
Every courtier hopes to meet a king who knows how to use people, and Zhao Dan's current performance is an excellent king's performance.
So in the next wave of sycophants, there is naturally a little less routine and more sincerity.
Zhao Bao: "Zhao has such a king as a king, and dominating the world is just around the corner!"
Yu Xin: "Zhao has a king, it is really the blessing of Zhao and the blessing of all the people!"
Even Lian Po opened his mouth and praised: "The king used this Pang Xuan drama Xin and the like, I didn't think so, I think the king's move is a bit reckless." But now it seems that the king will still use people! ”
Zhao Dan's eyelids couldn't help jumping when he heard this, or are you a general who is Lian Po will praise people, and the feeling of praising people is similar to scolding......
But in any case, this victory is very timely for the current Zhao State, and it also makes Zhao Dan's previous hesitation about whether to fight or make peace with the Yan State all dissipate.
Zhao Dan glanced around at the people present and said: "Zhuqing, it has been decided that the widow will send an envoy to Yan, and order the king of Yan to hand over Fu Bao and other traitors and withdraw all the land of Zhao as a condition for a truce. If King Yan does not allow it, then the widow will send a large army to attack Yan Kingdom in Ming Spring! ”
Zhao Dan said this, all the ministers of Zhao in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, but none of them objected.
After all, the reason why everyone sent troops at the beginning was mainly to beat the Yan people back.
It's not impossible to enter the Yan Kingdom, but in the middle of winter, if you go to the Yan Kingdom, the most bitter northern country in the land of China, to fight, it's still okay.
Now that a victory has been won, peace is an acceptable option.
It is always easy for the victor to achieve a more favorable outcome at the negotiating table when peace is negotiated.
Zhao Dan saw that no one objected, so he spoke: "In this case, then let's continue to discuss other matters." Since Lin Qing's death, the post of internal history has been vacant for some time, and the widow wants to choose a virtuous person to serve as the internal history, but I don't know who the secretary will be? ”
Several important ministers of the Zhao State were refreshed when they heard this, and they straightened their bodies one after another.
The real big play is finally here.
