May 5, 254 B.C., this day is destined to go down in history.

Because on this day, Qin, Korea, Wei, Chu, Qi and Yan, the six major warring states in the land of China, suddenly issued the same announcement to the whole world.

Tell the world: Since Zhao Wangdan ascended the throne, he has bullied other countries with reckless force, resulting in frequent wars in the Chinese world, and the rest of the countries have suffered from it and the people are not happy, which is really a scourge of the world!

Now the kings are planning for the world, and they are determined to form a division of Lianheng to attack the Zhao country. If the king of Zhao and the Zhao army are willing to abandon their weapons and surrender and return the land they have occupied, then the state of Zhao can still survive. If King Zhao is obsessed, then the day when the army of all countries breaks through Handan will be the time when Zhao State will fall!

Behind this same proclamation are the seals of six different kings.

Obviously, this statement was completely discussed in advance, otherwise it would not have been published in six different places on the same day.

As soon as this statement was announced, the whole world was immediately shaken, and everyone was either gloating or worried about this matter.

Prior to this war, there had been two countries that had enjoyed this kind of hostile treatment.

The first is the state of Qin. Relying on the strong national strength since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State repeatedly blocked the joint expeditions of the six states of Shandong, not only did not become weaker, but became stronger and stronger, until the peak of the Battle of Changping.

The second is the state of Qi. King Qi was defeated by the Five Nations Alliance, and was stabbed in the back by his ally Chu State, if it weren't for Tian Dan, he would have died and the country would have been destroyed.

One is getting stronger and stronger to look down on the world, and the other is almost destroying the country and declining directly, Qin and Qi can be said to have gone to two completely different extremes in this matter.

What kind of outcome will Zhao Guo be?

On this issue, many people who eat melons have launched a fierce debate.

One of the factions believes that the strength of Zhao is unprecedented, and it has repeatedly thwarted the joint enemies of various three countries and four countries before, so it is not difficult to defeat the alliance of the six countries this time.

The other faction believes that Zhao has been overwhelmed by the exhaustive military force for many years, and will definitely be defeated by the six countries, and it is very likely that the Zhao State will be directly divided by the six countries after the defeat, and the country will be destroyed from then on.

In general, the people who hope that Zhao Guo will suffer defeat are obviously the majority, after all, things have come to this point, and only Zhao Guoren himself will support his motherland.

Due to the relationship of time, when Zhao Dan learned the news, it was already the evening of the next day, that is, in the middle of the night on May 6 BC.

After learning the news, Zhao Dan was shocked.

Although he has long known that as his Zhao State becomes stronger and stronger, it will definitely become the target of the Warring States World, so Zhao Dan has always paid great attention to uniting other countries, and every time there is a big war, he will win at least one or two allies to share the benefits together, the purpose is to make Zhao State at least not fall behind in diplomacy, and there will be no such situation as being beaten to death by a group.

However, as the saying goes, a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and even if Zhao Dan and Zhao Guo's staff did not calculate anything, this time due to the serious stimulation of the cold lips and teeth brought about by the imminent destruction of Wei by Zhao State, the six countries united unprecedentedly, and stretched out their cold fangs and claws against Zhao State.

Speaking of which, this is already the third anti-Zhao alliance since the Battle of Changping.

In the first anti-Zhao alliance, there were three countries in Qin, Weiqi, and the second time, there were four countries in Qin, Weiqi, and Han.

As soon as Zhao Dan thought of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, and he gently exhaled a breath of turbidity: "Hmph, the enemy of the world?" And that's really...... It's kind of interesting. ”

Zhao Dan glanced up at Mao Sui in front of him, and said, "Mao Sui, you quickly go and summon all the Qing families, and let them immediately attack and hold an emergency meeting with the widows!" ”

Half an hour later, seven ministers of Zhao gathered in the main hall of Longtai.

Like Zhao Dan, these seven ministers of Zhao State did not expect that such a thing as the Six Kingdoms attacking Zhao would happen, and when Zhao Dan told them the whole thing, they were completely stunned one by one.

After a long time, Lian Po was the first to break the silence in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The king doesn't have to worry, in the eyes of the old minister, these six countries are just chickens and dogs. Please let the old minister lead the army, and the old minister will definitely be able to solve this matter for the king! ”

The old general's words were bold and dry, and they were loud and loud.

Pang Xuan glanced at Lian Po, and immediately said not to be outdone: "Please rest assured, as long as there are ministers, then no matter how rampant the Six-Nation Alliance is, it will never be able to threaten the king's Handan!" ”

Obviously, for this time the Six Nations Expedition, these two military bigwigs are full of confidence.

But apart from these two great generals, the others did not seem so optimistic.

Zhao Sheng frowned and said: "Having said that, but I also want to ask you to think about it, these six countries are the most powerful war of the enemy since the Zhao State, and it can be said that it gathers the strength of the entire Huaxia to fight against the Zhao State, and the outcome is actually unpredictable." ”

It is difficult to predict, but it can be seen from the expression on Zhao Sheng's face that he is not very optimistic about Zhao Guo's chances of winning in this battle.

For the first time in history, Yu Xin stood on Zhao Sheng's side on such an important issue, nodded and said, "Pingyuanjun is reasonable. Although it is said that none of these six countries alone can be the opponent of Zhao State, if the six countries jointly attack, then their strength and strength will still surpass Zhao State by a lot. ”

Although the other important ministers did not speak, judging from the solemn expressions on their faces, it was obvious that they all felt that this matter was very big.

The atmosphere in the main hall became very solemn.

Zhao Dan, who had not spoken, glanced at the hall and found that almost everyone had a look of more or less worry.

That's not going to work.

These people are the highest-ranking ministers of the Zhao State, if they mess up before the battle starts, then how can they deal with the enemy's attack?

Zhao Dan coughed, and said in a deep voice to these important ministers of Zhao State: "You Aiqing is too worried. Although this is indeed the most powerful enemy that the widow and even the Zhao country have ever encountered, don't forget that the Zhao country under the rule of the widow is also the most powerful Zhao country in history, and even the most powerful country in history! ”

When Zhao Dan said this, the ministers present nodded again and again.

Throughout history, there has really never been such a powerful country as Zhao.

Even the Shang Dynasty of that year, Zhou Tianzi in his heyday, and even the later Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, or the Qi State under King Qi Xuan not long ago, the Qin State under King Qin Zhaoxiang, etc., are slightly inferior to the current Zhao State.

This is not Zhao Dan's boasting, but the consensus of the entire Chinese world.

Zhao Dan saw that his words resonated with the ministers, and continued: "The Qin State back then was not as strong as the current Zhao State, and it was still able to make the two invasion of Qin by the Six Kingdoms of Shandong come to naught. And what about the widows? The widow is stronger than King Qin Zhaoxiang, because the widow has already defeated two consecutive operations against the Zhao State! ”

"Not only that, but the widow must completely smash this third war against Zhao, so that all the countries in this world know that only the widow and the Zhao country are the real masters of this world!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the widow admits that the enemy this time is indeed very strong, but this is just a counterattack before they die. As long as we survive this wave, the widow wants to ask - even the Six Kingdoms can't defeat us, so is there any force in the world that can defeat us? ”

"No, there won't be any more! At that time, our Zhao Kingdom will be truly invincible in the world! At that time, even if the whole world unites, it will not be able to stop Zhao from dominating the world! ”

Zhao Dan's words echoed in the main hall, and they were so sonorous and powerful, that the ministers of Zhao State, who were originally a little panicked and hesitant, immediately stabilized.

You must know that these ministers are all outstanding people in the world, but it was just because they heard the very shocking news that the Six Kingdoms attacked Zhao that their heads couldn't turn all of a sudden.

Now that he has returned to normal under Zhao Dan's encouragement, he naturally understands that what Zhao Dan said is indeed the truth.

For Zhao Guo, this is not only a difficult challenge that has never been before, but also a super opportunity that has never been seen before.

As long as it can be carried over, although the road to the domination of the Zhao State is still full of difficulties and obstacles, it is no longer an unattainable goal!

As soon as they thought of this, the fighting spirit finally appeared on the faces of the important ministers of Zhao State, and they suddenly stood up and saluted Zhao Dan at the same time, and said in unison: "The ministers are not talented, and they are willing to help the king overcome this difficulty and help Zhao Guo take off in the world!" ”

Zhao Dan was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that his encouragement this time was finally not in vain, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said to the important ministers of Zhao State in front of him: "Very good, since this is the case, then you will first discuss how to deal with the attack of the Six Kingdoms." ”

Lian Po was the first to speak: "King, the old minister thinks that since the war has expanded, then Lecheng should not continue to cross the Huaishui south to attack Shouchun, but should order him to lead the main force to retreat to the north and move closer to Handan, so as not to cut off the back road by other enemy countries by the lone army." ”

Zhao Dan thought about it and felt that Lian Po's words were indeed reasonable.

In the previous battle against Wei, since Korea and Chu were both allies of Zhao, it was natural that Lecheng could go all the way south unscrupulously without worrying about being cut off by the Wei people.

But now that Korea and Chu have become enemies of Zhao, if Lecheng continues to attack Shouchun south of Huaishui, then he will definitely be cut off from behind by South Korea and Chu, which is obviously not a good thing.

So Zhao Dan quickly made a decision and said: "Since this is the case, then let Le Cheng lead the troops to retreat to Suiyang." ”

Suiyang is a place that can not only lock the communication between Han Chuwei and Qi State, but also is not too far away from Handan, so it is definitely an excellent choice for attacking, retreating, and defending.

Zhao Sheng also spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's time to mobilize all the county soldiers and young people to deal with this war. ”

Zhao Dan groaned slightly, then nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow the conscription order will be sent all over the country." ”

Since the Battle of Changping, Zhao has not had this kind of national strength to deal with the situation of war for a long time, because Zhao has never encountered the kind of opponent that needs the strength of the whole country to deal with.

Obviously, for the sake of this victory, Zhao Dan also went out and broke the boat.

As for other things such as mobilizing grain and grass, naturally there are people who have their own hands to handle it, but the most critical military situation has not yet been transmitted back to Handan, so it is not possible to make a decision for the time being.

The monarchs and ministers of Zhao State discussed for a full night, and the ministers did not leave Longtai until dawn.

Zhao Dan stood up from his seat, rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, looked at the white of the fish belly exposed outside the main hall, and let out a long breath.

Since you, the other six countries, want to have a face-to-face hard fight with the widows, then the widows will accompany you to the end this time!
