Zhao Dan really didn't have any intention of continuing to talk with Chu State.

Because Zhao Dan now needs an anti-bone boy like Chu Guo.

The phrase "unbearable in a high place" is not a joke, and the current Zhao State cannot afford any betrayal, because this betrayal may turn into a collapse of diplomatic defeat at any time, so that the Zhao State, which was still a star-studded moon, will become embattled in an instant.

The State of Qi under the rule of King Qi was the best negative teaching material.

Originally, the Qi country, which was full of many allies of the younger brother, became rebellious and separated in a blink of an eye, and even almost destroyed the country.

There has to be a lesson.

So Zhao Dan's idea is also very simple, don't you Chu State want to betray the widow?

Then hit.

Fight to the death!

The widow wants to take up the stick of war to let all the countries in the world know what kind of price will be paid if they want to go against the widow.

Of course, if there is only the threat of force and intimidation, it is not enough.

Relations between nations are sometimes much like relationships between people.

Someone else is Zhao Guo's little brother, what is the picture?

First, of course, it's good to have your back against a big tree, and second, it has to be a little good, right?

This time, Zhao Dan was to punish Chu Guo, the disobedient little brother, and at the same time, by the way, he would give some benefits to the other obedient little brothers.

What are the benefits? Of course, it is the land of Chu.

So naturally, the idea of the Three Jin Alliance and the Qi State of a total of four countries to attack the Chu State came out like this.

By this time, it no longer matters whether the Chu State will be lost or not.

The important thing is that Zhao Dan wants to use the result of overturning the Chu State to warn the other younger brothers not to act rashly, and use the result of carving up the Chu State to imply that the younger brothers will follow my eldest brother Zhao Guo and have meat to eat.

This is the so-called "carrot in one hand and stick in the other".

So soon, when Zheng Zhu, who had left Chencheng, returned to Handan, and Han and Wei also replied at the same time that they were willing to join the war, Zhao Dan immediately convened a general meeting with the participation of all important ministers of Zhao and announced the battle plan against Chu.

"This time to attack Chu, the widow is determined to levy 150,000 troops and the corresponding people, and will start a war against Chu together with the troops of Wei, Han and Qi!"

Zhao Dan's tone was very firm, and at the same time with extremely strong self-confidence, the ministers of Zhao Guo around him also looked forward to it, and the two veterans, Lian Po and Pang Xuan, were even more eager to try, and their eyes were full of eagerness.

For a powerful country that is still on the rise, the last thing it can fear is war!

Even in the "Art of War", it is clearly stated that "the first army is to attack and plan, the second is to attack the enemy, then the army is attacked, and the next is to attack the city". But how easy is it to get the enemy country to willingly surrender its territory through strategy and diplomacy?

In many cases, the most effective and respected method is to directly destroy the enemy's resistance by war.

The army of 150,000 is actually not much for the current Zhao State, but considering the fact that the combined strength of the Four Nations Alliance must far exceed that of the Chu State, the plan submitted by the General Staff of the Zhao State believes that 150,000 is enough.

As a military layman, Zhao Dan naturally accepted the advice of the General Staff with a kind attitude.

As soon as Zhao Dan's words fell, Lian Po immediately flashed out and said in a loud voice: "The king, the minister is willing to be the lord of this time and conquer the Chu State for the king!" ”

As the general of Zhao State, Lian Po would never let go of even one opportunity to lead his troops to the battle.

This old general is a complete soldier from the bones, and what he desires most is to make contributions on the battlefield and flatten all the enemies in front of Zhao State!

But the problem is that Lian Po is not the only one who wants to lead the troops into battle.

Lian Po's words to ask for war have not completely dissipated in everyone's eardrums, and Pang Xuan also flashed out, shouting to fight: "The king, the minister is also willing to go to the Chu country for the king!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Lian Po was furious when he heard this, and turned around and glared at Pang Xuan fiercely: "Pang Qing, are you going to compete with me for the position of the main general?" ”

Obviously, as the number one person in the Zhao State military today, Lian Po is quite dissatisfied with Pang Xuan's dare to compete with him for the position of the main general.

When Zhao Dan saw this situation, he couldn't help but be a little stunned for a while.

You must know that although Pang Xuan has entered the ranks of the core leadership of Zhao State two years ago, Pang Xuan has been relatively low-key over the years, and he rarely competes with Lian Po for anything, and he looks like he is willing to be the number two person.

Why did Pang Xuan suddenly change today, and suddenly jumped out and stood up to Lian Po head-on?

Are there some articles in this?

Just when Zhao Dan was secretly thinking in his heart, Zhao Sheng on the side spoke unhurriedly.

"Wu Xinjun, everyone in the world knows that you are the first general of Zhao State, and now he is a very popular minister who has been awarded the position of king, which can be said to be extremely graceful and glorious. In that case, then why can't you give Pang Qing a chance? ”

Saying that, Zhao Sheng turned his head again and said to Zhao Dan: "King, in the opinion of the ministers, this time it is better to let Pang Qing lead the troops to the Chu State." ”

Zhao Bao, the Pingyang Jun beside Zhao Sheng, also immediately echoed: "The king, the minister seconded the proposal." ”

The atmosphere in the hall quietly began to change a little.

Yu Xin frowned, and also spoke: "Great King, the country of Chu is a country with a large land and a large population, and although it has suffered repeated failures in recent years, it is not a country that can be easy. Therefore, the minister thought that this matter of cutting Chu was the most stable for Wu Xinjun to go out. ”

Li Bo also spoke: "The king, the minister also thinks that it is better to let Wu Xinjun go on the expedition. ”

When Zhao Dan saw this, he basically understood.

To be honest, the difficulty of this mission to conquer Chu is much lower than that of the previous wars, but there is only one direction for the war.

If Lian Po gets the position of the main general, then Pang Xuanke, who has become an ally of Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, will have nothing to do.

Moreover, this war against the state of Chu seems to be almost a war of solid merit (how can four countries lose if they fight one together?), in this case, it is obvious that it is more beneficial for Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao's clan faction to let Pang Xuan take this credit.

Just looking at the expressions and words of Zhao Sheng, Zhao Bao and Pang Xuan, you can know that the Gong Clan faction is not temporary, but has been prepared for a long time.

But the cloth faction on Lian Po's side obviously wouldn't let go of this opportunity so easily, so the two sides immediately quarreled around this topic.

Zhao Dan glanced at Zheng Zhu, who had been silent, and asked, "Zheng Qing, who do you think the widow should be?" ”

At the moment when Zhao Dan's words fell, the twelve eyes of the other six people instantly fell on Zheng Zhu's body.

Zheng Zhu was taken aback by this situation, and hurriedly smiled dryly: "King, this ...... If you don't know anything about military affairs, how can you ignore this at will? ”

Zheng Zhu is also under a lot of pressure, and it's nothing to come up with ideas like usual, but now the position of the main general is directly related to his military exploits.

Both Lian Po and Pang Xuan have a military force behind them, and Zheng Zhu doesn't want to offend one of them because of this kind of thing.

So the next moment, everyone's eyes moved back to Zhao Dan's body.

"Plead the king's ruling!"

Zhao Dan shook his head, and his face was also a little helpless.

It's hard to choose.

However, if you don't have a choice, you have to choose.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Dan finally made a decision.

"On this expedition, Lian Po is the main general, and Lecheng is the deputy general! Pang Qing is responsible for sitting in Handan, Ju Xin is responsible for guarding Hedong, and the northern counties are still under Li Mu's control. By the way, pass the widow's order to Li Mu, and ask him to immediately mobilize 20,000 cavalry to Hetao and Shuofang counties, and if the Qin people rescue the Chu State, then they will immediately go south! ”

Zhao Dan's order naturally made some people happy and some worried.

Zhao Sheng, Zhao Bao, Pang Xuan's face was quite ugly, and the Gong faction was overjoyed, Lian Po got up and saluted Zhao Dan, and his tone was extremely respectful: "Thank you to the king!" ”
