Chapter 252: Zhao Dan made a decision (second update)
After Zhao Dan made such a decision, the ministers of Zhao State present expressed their obedience in unison, whether they agreed or disagreed: "Huh." ”
Among them, Wuxinjun Lian Po's performance was the most excited, only to see Lian Po solemnly saluted Zhao Dan, and said loudly: "Thank you for the king's trust in the ministers, the ministers will do their best to live up to the king's trust." ”
Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then spoke: "By the way, remember to send envoys to Xinzheng and Daliang City to visit the King of Han and the King of Wei, and tell them that the Three Jin Alliance was originally established to target the Qin State, so this time I went to the Qin State, so I invited the two of them to go out with the widows to attack Qin!" ”
Of course, it was said that it was a word of invitation, but in fact, all the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State present knew that Zhao Dan's words were simply orders, orders to Han and Wei.
Now that South Korea and Wei are both the younger brothers of Zhao State, how can there be any reason for the eldest brother to "ask" the younger brother to do something?
Zhao Dan continued: "This matter is in the hands of Zheng Zhu, a big pedestrian, and Su Dai, a small pedestrian, do you have anything else to add?"
Yu Xin on the side spoke: "King, if this is the case, then where should I promise Han and Wei this time?" ”
Although the eldest brother orders the younger brother to do things, if people do things for you, how can it be a little beneficial, right? Otherwise, who is messing with your big brother.
Zhao Dan looked at Yu Xin with a look of wanting to show his merits, and seemed to understand something in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "In Yu Qing's opinion, what should I do?" ”
Yu Xin smiled, with an expression of "the king still understands me", and then said: "In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to promise Pingyang City to Korea and Anyi to Wei State." ”
As soon as Yu Xin's voice fell, Zhao Bao immediately objected: "No! Pingyang and Anyi are the former capitals of Wei and Han, and they are also big cities in Hedong, how can they be returned? ”
Other ministers also spoke, Lian Po and Li Bo agreed with Yu Xin's opinion, and Zhao Sheng agreed with Zhao Bao's opinion.
Zhao Dan thought for a while and made a decision: "If the widow can get Hedong, then Pingyang and Anyi are just two enclaves, and the widow can capture them at any time, so what's the harm in giving them to Han and Wei?" This matter depends on what Yu Qing said. ”
In Zhao Dan's mind, it was as if the state of Chu had a high enthusiasm for recovering Yingdu, and if Han and Wei knew that there was hope for the recovery of Pingyang and Anyi, it was estimated that the enthusiasm for fighting would also be indispensable.
The meeting was dismissed after the matter was discussed.
After the meeting, Zhao Dan left the leading general Lian Po alone.
"Wu Xinjun, who do you want to be your lieutenant?"
Lian Po said: "Please take Lecheng as the deputy general." ”
This answer did not surprise Zhao Dan, after all, Lecheng has been Lian Po's deputy for many years.
So Zhao Dan quickly agreed: "Okay, then let's take Le Cheng as the deputy general." By the way, the widow has one more request. ”
Lian Po said: "The king, but please speak." ”
Zhao Dan said: "Wu Xinjun, when the army is assembled, you don't want to send troops to the Qin State for the time being, just station troops in Shangdang County and wait for the orders of the widows." ”
Lian Po was obviously a little puzzled by Zhao Dan's statement, and couldn't help asking, "Why is this, king?" ”
Zhao Dan smiled and said to Lian Po: "The widow just wants to emulate what happened to Wei and save Zhao back then." ”
Whether it is for Qin or Zhao, the leadership of both sides is very clear about one thing, that is, Zhao will definitely participate in the war of Qin attacking Chu after solving the trouble of the Xiongnu, unless Zhao is really stupid enough to sit back and watch Qin become strong by sucking the blood of Chu.
But what Zhao Dan didn't expect was that the combat effectiveness of the Xiongnu in this era turned out to be so weak.
According to Zhao Dan's original plan, this war against the Xiongnu may be fought until winter or even next spring, so that Zhao can use this war to confuse the Qin people, so that the Qin people think that Zhao will not send troops immediately, so that they can achieve a surprise effect when they send troops.
But with the defeat of the Huns, this unexpected effect is obviously gone.
Since this is the case, Zhao Dan has to adjust his strategy according to the different situations.
If the surprise attack fails, then it will be changed to harassment.
In the early days of the siege of Wei to save Zhao, when Pang Juan led the Wei army to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao, Sun Bin and Tian Ji's Qi army had already been assembled, but they had been moving slowly at the border junction between Qi and Wei, only walking a few miles a day, which can be called a snail-like speed.
But even so, the fact that Qi had already sent troops still had an impact on the psychology of the Wei monarchs and ministers, forcing Pang Juan to give up the tactics of trapping Handan with a long siege and began to use strong attack tactics in order to capture Handan faster, which led to the Wei army paying huge casualties in the Battle of Handan.
This is the place where Sun Bin is a ghost genius and a chicken thief, an immortal soldier and a soldier can consume a lot of vitality of the Wei army by taking a walk every day, and to be honest, Pang Juan lost unjustly at all.
War is never just about what is presented on the battlefield, so to speak, a war begins with preparations, and the various games between two different countries on both sides will affect the outcome of the war to varying degrees.
Now Zhao Dan is planning to use the fact that Zhao has already sent troops to force the Qin army to launch a strong attack on the people of Chu as Sun Bin did back then.
A strong attack is definitely the most costly way for the attacker to lose more than a siege.
Looking at Lian Po in front of him with a thoughtful expression, Zhao Dan felt that he should have persuaded the general.
To be honest, with the victory of the Battle of Changping, Lian Po's reputation among the Zhao State is also increasing, and he already has the feeling of Wu Anjun's high merit in the Qin State.
If Zhao Dan is not a traverser, then Zhao Dan is likely to start restricting Lian Po's number of battles just like Qin Wangji did when he restricted Bai Qi.
It is precisely because of the experience of crossing that Zhao Dan knows that he can trust Lian Po, so he can rest assured that this Wu Xinjun will be in charge.
In history, Lian Po's title was Xinping Jun, and there was no martial character in it, which made Lian Po very dissatisfied and planted the seeds for Lian Po to leave Zhao later.
Therefore, today's Zhao Dan specially sealed Lian Po a Wu Xinjun, which can be regarded as a precautionary measure.
Zhao Dan knew very well in his heart that Lian Po should be able to live for more than ten or twenty years, and for Zhao Guo, these ten or twenty years, even if he could not dominate the world, should be able to lay the victory.
This is Lian Po, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States! It may not work to fight white, but to beat other generals, isn't that just like playing?
I have to say that this is Zhao Dan's luck and Lian Po's luck.
In the end, Lian Po happily agreed: "Only." ”
Looking at Lian Po's departing figure, Zhao Dan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the arrangements in the early stage of the war have basically come to an end, and next, it is the time to confront the powerful Qin State and the immortal lord of Qin Wangji again!
Zhao Dan's heart was a little nervous, but more excited and excited.
If you are outnumbered, you will definitely win!
