Chapter 392: Whether you live or die, you are willing to serve the king (second update)
"Tao Te Ching" once said: "Misfortune and blessing rely on; Blessings and misfortunes lurk. ”
For Zhao, victory after victory, and expansion of territory again and again are undoubtedly "blessings".
But it was in this blessing that the disaster of Zhao State quietly came.
Since the wheel of the times has been rolling into the Warring States period since the Spring and Autumn Period, the annexation between the princes has become more tragic and cruel.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, everyone at least had to nod their faces, but in the Warring States Period, the vassal states had done everything they could in order to survive and grow.
Face? I'm sorry, but the face is already dead!
Beauty schemes, assassinations, rebellion, discord, coercion and temptation...... If we look at the history of the Warring States Period for more than 200 years, we will find that all the conspiracies and tricks that can be used in human history, and all the most despicable and shameless, darkest and cruel scenes imaginable, have been staged in this land, and they are never absent.
It was this extremely cruel era that made the countries have to desperately try to make themselves stronger, which finally inspired the Qin Dynasty, a super-unified dynasty that had no precedent, and created a brilliant movement for two thousand years after China.
Of course, for Zhao Dan, this kind of thing of the Qin Dynasty will be pulled down...... Only Zhao Dynasty is the only choice!
Sometimes Zhao Dan himself is thinking that if he can cross into Zhao Yiren, this matter should be much simpler......
Providence makes people.
In any case, since he has become the monarch of Zhao State, Zhao Dan will naturally not be tied to the damn history and fate in the history books.
In fact, the current Zhao Dan has successfully changed many things recorded in the history books.
But that's not enough.
Zhao Guo still needs more victories, and Zhao Dan also needs more victories.
Today's Zhao Guoqiang is strong, but it is far from the point where he can see the mountains at a glance.
In Zhao Dan's view, only when Zhao can achieve the almost overwhelming advantage of the Qin State over the six eastern countries after the victory of the Qin State in the Battle of Changping in history, then Zhao Dan can breathe a sigh of relief.
The current Zhao State is far from enough, and he is not even qualified to let Zhao Dan breathe a sigh of relief.
You must know that after the victory in the Battle of Changping at that time, the Qin State was able to deal with the strength of one country even if the six countries were combined.
But Zhao Guo is now just facing the joint attack of the three countries, and he is already a little powerless, and he may even be defeated.
To be honest, Zhao Dan really doesn't like this feeling.
But even if he didn't like this feeling anymore, Zhao Dan still gave a death order in the subsequent Zhao State court meeting.
"Give the widow an order Pang Xuan and Ji Xin, no matter what the situation, unless you can completely annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop, you will definitely not be able to attack easily, you just need to defend the Southern Great Wall and the giant deer for the widow!"
For Zhao Dan, the direction of Guanzhong is the real main point of attack, although Handan is very important, but it is precisely because of this importance that the direction of Handan can only be defended, and it must be held.
To be honest, Zhao Dan suddenly felt that the ancestors of Zhao State chose Handan as the capital at this time, which was really a little inconsiderate.
Although Handan is located in the Central Plains, it is too far away from the strongest enemy, the Qin State, and it is too close to the Wei State and the Qi State!
Of course, even so, Zhao Dan did not consider moving the capital back to Zhongmu or Jinyang.
Zhongmu is only one or two hundred miles away from Handan, which is basically the same as Handan.
Jinyang, on the other hand, is located in the Taiyuan Basin, far away from both the Central Plains and Guanzhong, which can be said to be a worse choice.
To put it bluntly, it's still a geographical problem of Zhao.
In fact, Zhao Dan really has a very good place that can be used as the capital of Zhao State at the moment, that is, Hedong County, the old nest of the Jin Kingdom.
The establishment of the capital in Hedong County can not only suppress the Qin state, but also ensure that the enemy from the Central Plains cannot easily threaten the capital.
At that time, the Jin State was the capital of Hedong County, and by virtue of this geographical advantage, it took advantage of the hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, making Chu, Qi, Qin and other opponents helpless.
In fact, Zhao Dan has considered moving the capital to Hedong County more than once, but the problem is that Hedong County has just been defeated, and Zhao's treasury is empty, and there is no such huge amount of money to support the relocation of the capital, so Zhao Dan also eliminated this idea.
But now, the idea of moving the capital has irrepressibly emerged from Zhao Dan's mind......
Of course, just think about it.
This society is like this, you can't do anything without money, whether you are a beggar or a king.
After the meeting, Zhao Dan stood up a little distraught, planning to go to the garden to breathe.
At this moment, it is the end of spring, all kinds of flowers are blooming in front of Zhao Dan, and there is a faint smell in the air mixed with various floral fragrances, which makes Zhao Dan's heart clear.
Just when Zhao Dan was admiring the flowers, a soft voice suddenly sounded in front of Zhao Dan: "The king's face seems to be poor, but he is worried because of the war?" ”
Zhao Dan looked back in surprise, only to see Queen Han Wan standing not far behind him, looking at him with a smile.
Although she has given birth to several children, Han Wan is only in her twenties this year, less than thirty years old, between the willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, she has both that young face and a plump figure, although she has given birth several times, she can still be called a slender waist, and the incomparably attractive, ripe peach-like style between a smile and a smile is really intoxicating.
Zhao Dan looked at Han Wan and couldn't help but show a smile: "It's okay to be a widow, I just want to walk around ...... suddenly."
Han Wan came to Zhao Dan's face, stretched out her hand to help Zhao Dan tidy up his clothes that were a little messy by the spring breeze, and said softly: "The king has a lot of opportunities, and you still need to pay attention to rest." ”
Zhao Dan smiled and suddenly said, "Queen...... If the war is unfavorable in a few days, you will take Heng'er and Yan'er back to Jinyang. ”
Han Wan was obviously taken aback, and only said after a while, "Why did the king say this?" ”
Zhao Dan snorted, and only said after a while: "This soldier is also treacherous." Since it is a trick, then who knows whether the trick of the widow succeeded, or the trick of Qin Wangji, Wei Wangyu and others succeeded? If you don't think about winning, you have to worry about defeat first, and you have to leave a way back for Zhao Guo. Therefore O Queen, pack your bags, and go on your way when the widow gives the order. ”
After a pause, Zhao Dan seemed to be afraid that Han Wan would be worried, so he said with relief: "Don't worry, the queen can rest assured, this battle will undoubtedly be won by the Zhao Kingdom, and the widow is just a ......."
"The king doesn't need to say it." Han Wan suddenly interrupted Zhao Dan's words.
Looking at Zhao Dan with a surprised face, Han Wan smiled lightly and said, "King, Xiao Tong is the queen of Zhao Kingdom, if Handan is in trouble, how can Xiao Tong be that deserter?" Besides, the king is not only the king of Zhao, but also the husband of the child, how can the husband flee alone if the husband is in trouble? The little boy has made up his mind, no matter life or death, he is willing to serve by the king's side! ”
Although Han Wan's words were spoken very softly, there was incomparable firmness in this gentleness.
No one was able to change her decision.
Zhao Dan looked at Han Wan with a resolute face, and suddenly felt that the heavy pressure that was originally pressing on his heart like a mountain instantly became much lighter.
Zhao Dan suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged the beautiful woman in front of him into his arms.
In the distance, three small figures were quietly peeking at all this through a flower bush.
"Uncle, middle brother, what are my father and queen mother doing?" The little girl asked the two older brothers behind her with a blank face.
Behind the girl, Zhao Yan replied with a childish face: "Sister Meng, the father and the queen mother are in Dunlun, Dunlun Ru knows, right?" It is to work hard for us to give birth to a middle sister...... Oops, oops, uncle, why do you pull my ears? ”
Zhao Heng held his eldest sister's little hand on the one hand, and pulled Zhao Yan's ear on the other, and snorted angrily in his mouth as he walked, and said, "Dun London, do you know what Dun Lun is?" I don't feel ashamed to talk about it every day! Master Xun is here, it's time to go back to class! ”
