On this day, Zhao Dan received a message from Guanzhong.

Looking at it, Zhao Dan's face, which had always been very tense, slowly showed a smile.

Judging from the current situation, Qin Wangji obviously didn't expect Zhao Dan to have such a surprise soldier as Li Mu, so he was caught off guard all of a sudden, and he was already completely passive.

As the saying goes, if you accidentally lose everything, although Qin Wangji has indeed not reached the point of admitting defeat now, Zhao Dan is already full of confidence that he should definitely win on the battlefield in Guanzhong.

One Li Mu and one Lian Po, the combination of Wang Ji and Wang Ling is on the top, and it is simply crushing in terms of the ability of generals.

Not only that, Zhao State is now stronger than Qin State in terms of both national strength and combat effectiveness, coupled with the psychological factors brought about by the successive victories in the two battles of Changping and Hedong, Zhao Dan feels that the probability of losing is almost infinitely equal to zero.

It's just that there are joys and worries.

Although Zhao had a lot of advantages on the battlefield in Guanzhong, the situation in Handan was not so optimistic.

Under the command of Wei Wuji, the Wei army launched an extremely fierce offensive against Pang Xuan's defense line for several days.

Because Pang Xuan did not have the Southern Great Wall as a barrier at the moment, and he arrived temporarily, he didn't have time to build a decent defense line, so although he had been struggling to support it these days, the situation was getting worse and worse day by day.

In the latest battle report, Pang Xuan had already quietly hinted in the letter, euphemistically suggesting that it was time for Zhao Dan to consider abandoning all the outer defense lines and defending Handan.

Although it had been expected for a long time, when this moment was really coming, Zhao Dan's heart couldn't help but be a little bored.

"If I had known that this was the case, maybe I shouldn't have let Wei Wuji return to Wei in the first place......"

To be honest, Zhao Dan did have a little regret in his heart.

But soon Zhao Dan thought about it again: "But if it weren't for Wei Wuji, then the Battle of Changping would not have been won...... That's it, even if the widow pays off his favor. ”

Regarding this regret in Zhao Dan's heart, Han Fei, who has been by Zhao Dan's side these days, has a different opinion.

In Han Fei's view, letting Wei Wuji return to Wei State seems to be harmful to Zhao State at the moment, but in the long run, the benefits to Zhao State far outweigh the harm.

"Oh?" Zhao Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at this Han Fei, who was actually his own age: "Why did you say this?" ”

Han Fei stuttered, and it was inevitably a little difficult to speak, so he spoke for a while before he stammered all the things he should have said.

The root of this matter still lies in Wei Wangyu.

Although Wei Wangyu still trusts Wei Wuji at the moment, it is because Wei Wuji's reputation in the Wei State has plummeted because of the killing of Jin Contempt, and he can no longer pose any threat to Wei Wangyu.

In the days since Wei Wuji took the position of prime minister of Wei, he vigorously implemented a number of reforms in Wei, so that Wei began to have signs of a rich country and a strong army, and took advantage of Qin Zhao's fierce battle in Hedong County to swallow Qin's Tao County, which greatly increased Wei's strength.

Humans have always been a very forgetful species, and after Wei Wuji achieved such feats, the people of Wei quickly forgot Wei Wuji's previous bad deeds of killing ministers, and turned to an attitude of affirmation and praise towards Wei Wuji.

This is actually very easy to understand, after all, in this kind of Warring States troubled times, whoever can make the country strong and who can make the people live a good life will be able to get the support of the people.

As for the reputation, what bad things have been done in the past, it doesn't matter at all!

In the final analysis, this is an era in which everyone from the monarch and princes to the common people is in a precarious situation, and in such an era, it is bullshit to say anything about the long-term and reputation, and only what is in front of you is the most practical and valued by everyone.

As a result, Wei Wuji's reputation has not only risen again, but even far surpassed before.

Judging from Hu Yiwei's intelligence, Wei Wuji's reputation is so great that it has even reached the point where "people in the world only know that there is a King of Xinling but do not know that there is a King of Wei", and many envoys from other countries even went to visit Wei Wuji after coming to Daliang City, and then attacked to meet Wei Wangyu.

Zhao Dan listened thoughtfully, and couldn't help but speak: "So, in fact, Wei Wangyu is already very jealous of Wei Wuji?" But the widow used an opportunity last time to successfully help Duan Ganzi ascend to the position, but now Duan Ganzi still can't seem to be successful. ”

The reason why Duan Ganzi is not a climate is certainly related to Wei Wuji's strong suppression of Duan Ganzi, but also because Wei Wangyu is actually not resolute in his support for Duan Ganzi.

Otherwise, once Wei Wangyu resolutely supported Duan Ganzi, then no matter how strong Wei Wuji was, he would not be able to stop Duan Ganzi's re-rise.

At this time, Mi Xian, who was beside Zhao Dan, suddenly interjected: "King, in fact, the old minister thinks that it is not that Wei Wangyu is not afraid of Wei Wuji, but that Wei Wuji's power has unconsciously swelled to a point where even Wei Wangyu does not dare to act rashly. ”

Zhao Dan glanced at Mi Xian in surprise and said, "If you look at it according to Mi Qing's words, wouldn't Wei Wuji have basically put Wei Wangyu in the air?" ”

Mi Xian nodded and said: "What the king said is extremely true, the current Wei political arena is completely under the control of Wei Wuji's faction, so even if Wei Wangyu has the intention to suppress Wei Wuji, but under the pressure of many ministers, how can he not consider the opinions of the ministers?" ”

After Zhao Dan heard Mi Xian's words, his heart suddenly moved, as if he had caught something.

Zhao Dan pondered for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "Mi Qing, Han Shizhong, the widow thinks...... This seems like an opportunity! ”

"Opportunity?" Mi Xian looked obviously a little puzzled, but Han Fei seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhao Dan gently tapped the table in front of him with his fingers, the expression on his face was thoughtful, and all the information began to be combined in his mind, and gradually, a plan took shape in Zhao Dan's mind.

It was at this time that Han Fei suddenly spoke: "Great, great king, the minister has a plan to offer." If it is used well, this and this plan may be able to get rid of Wei and Wei Wuji. ”

Zhao Dan laughed and said, "To be honest, the widow has just thought of a plan...... If so, thou shalt write to the widow. ”

It's really hard to listen to Han Fei's words, so it's better to let him write it on the slip.

Han Fei didn't talk nonsense, Long Feifeng wrote for a moment, and then handed a slip with undried ink to Zhao Dan's hand.

Zhao Dan looked at Han Fei's strategy in front of him, and his eyes gradually lit up.

After reading it, the smile on Zhao Dan's face was completely irrepressible, and he finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Very good, very good. Han Shizhong's plan coincides with the widow! ”

……

Later that day, two messengers rode out of the palace city and rushed towards the battlefield on the west bank of the Yellow River where Pang Xuan was located and the Julu battlefield where Ju Xin was located, with two urgent orders of 100,000 urgent.

Although these two orders are given to two different people, they actually have the same content in the orders.

Immediately abandon the existing position and retreat to Handan!
