Handan.

In the main hall of Longtai, the atmosphere is very serious.

Zhao Dan looked up at Zhao Sheng and said to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuanjun, let me inform you about the recent battle situation." ”

From common sense, this should be what military giants should do, but now Lian Po and Pang Xuan are both leading the army, so it falls on Zhao Sheng.

To be honest, if it had been before, it would have been a good time to show your face, but now...... Just looking at Zhao Sheng's sad face, he knew that the news he was about to say was definitely not good news.

But the king has spoken, and if he doesn't say it, he has to say it.

So Zhao Sheng cleaned up his mood, coughed and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I will tell the king and you about the current battlefield situation." ”

"Let's talk about Wei first, according to Pang Xuan's report, he led the main force of our army to storm the Wei army's defense line these days, and now the Wei army has gradually shown signs of being unable to resist, just because Wei Wangyu has repeatedly increased the front line, so it can't be broken for a while. However, Pang Xuan concluded that the Wei army's strength was now insufficient, and in ten and a half days at most, the Wei people should not be able to support it, and victory was imminent! ”

As soon as Zhao Sheng's words came out, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

Yu Xin snorted and said lukewarmly: "Such a mobilization to deal with a Wei State, but now it is still impossible to break through its defense line, Pang Qing is really a good commander and a good means." ”

As soon as Yu Xin's words came out, the hearts of several ministers present couldn't help but tighten slightly, knowing that this was about to start a war.

In the previous pre-war meeting, Yu Xin's ally Lian Po's position as the main general was snatched away by Zhao Sheng's ally Pang Xuan, which naturally made Yu Xin very dissatisfied, and now he couldn't wait to fire at Pang Xuan when he found an opportunity.

For this, Zhao Sheng was obviously a little unexpected.

In Zhao Sheng's opinion, Pang Xuan's results are actually quite good, after all, this war is not a quick solution every time, and the Wei people have made up their minds to be a shrinking turtle and not fight against Pang Xuan, what can Pang Xuan do?

It took less than two months to break through the Wei army's defensive line, and Zhao Sheng thought it was already a very satisfactory performance.

In addition, Pang Xuan is on Zhao Sheng's side, so Zhao Sheng naturally wants to protect his ally.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng immediately sneered and said: "Yu Qing's words are wrong, I think that the Wei State is also one of the princes, and it has just defeated the Chu State, and its momentum is not a second country except for Da Zhao." Now that Pang Qing has driven the Wei people to a dead end in less than two months, is there anything Yu Qing is not satisfied with? ”

"Cornered?" Yu Xin smiled slightly, his face was full of mockery, and said to Zhao Sheng: "Now that the Wei army has not failed, I don't know where the saying that this is a dead end comes from?" It must be known that the battle situation is urgent now, and if the Wei battlefield drags on for one more day, the other battlefields will be more critical, and he Pang Xuan is so procrastinating and unable to win for a long time, which is simply irresponsible to other battlefields! ”

Zhao Sheng snorted heavily, and his dissatisfied expression was overflowing: "Pang Qing's appointment was made by the king, could it be that Yu Qing is questioning the king's success?" ”

Yu Xin also sneered: "King Shengming, naturally I know that I am not questioning the king, what I am questioning is that some people are incapable but steal high positions and mislead the country and the people!" ”

"Alright, stop arguing!" Zhao Dan saw that the anger of the two was gradually rising, so he had to stop him: "The two Qing families are both important ministers of the widows, and now that the war is unfavorable, all the Qing families should be in the same boat, instead of arguing here and letting the world see the jokes." ”

As soon as Zhao Dan's words came out, Yu Xin and Zhao Sheng had to keep their mouths shut even if they were unhappy in their hearts.

Zhao Dan saw that the hall was quiet, so he said to Zhao Sheng again: "Please also ask Pingyuanjun to continue to introduce the situation in several other battlefields." ”

Zhao Sheng glanced at Yu Xin, although he was very unhappy in his heart, but he still followed Zhao Dan's instructions and continued to speak: "On the Qi side, Kuang Liang has led 200,000 Qi troops to conquer most of the Hejian Land, and only one city in Gaotang is still in my hands. However, judging from Wu Xinjun's report, the current situation in the direction of Gaotang is acceptable, and there is no need to worry in the short term. ”

For the battlefield of Qi State, this is not the main battlefield of this war, and Lian Po is the number one general in Zhao State, so everyone is naturally very relieved of Lian Po's ability.

Although Zhao Sheng has the intention to find fault, he can't say anything here.

So Zhao Sheng continued to speak: "In Shangdang County, according to the latest intelligence, Xu Li has successfully made the Koreans relax their vigilance, and the general attack should be launched in the next two days. If Xu Li's attack can be successful, then the main reinforcements will soon arrive in Changzhi City and join the defenders of Changzhi City. ”

After listening to Zhao Sheng's introduction, everyone breathed a sigh of relief,

To be honest, at this moment, what worries the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State the most is this battlefield in Shangdang County.

Looking at the four battlefields in the entire war, Zhao Guo was prepared in advance in the other three battlefields, only this Shangdang County battlefield was hastily assembled because of the suddenness of the incident.

Now the troops deployed and dispatched by Zhao State in the battlefield of Shangdang County are also the weakest, although there are nearly 100,000 people in name, but the actual combat strength is only the 20,000 or 30,000 Zhao Central Army in Xu Li's hands, and the other county soldiers are just shouting.

Under such circumstances, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao have always believed that the battlefield of Shangdang County is likely to be selected as a breakthrough by the Four Kingdoms Attack Zhao Alliance.

Considering the geographical location of Shangdang County, if it was really occupied by the Koreans, then Zhao would be in big trouble.

Judging from the deduction of the battle situation by the General Staff of the Zhao Army in the past few days, if Zhao wants to win this war or at least maintain a draw, then Shangdang County will definitely not be able to lose.

And if you don't want to lose Shangdang County, then Changzhi City must undoubtedly be preserved.

Therefore, after hearing that the reinforcements were likely to have joined the defenders in Changzhi City at this moment, Zhao Guojunchen naturally relaxed a lot.

Zhao Dan nodded and said: "Xu Li is a widow who knows, he was also an old man who followed Ma Fujun Zhao Hao to fight back then, and the widow still has a lot of confidence in him." By the way, how is the war with the Qin side? ”

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, replied: "Back to the king, since Shangdang County has now fallen into the flames of war, the transmission of information with Hedong County has also been affected. The latest military intelligence was seven days ago. Judging from this military situation seven days ago, the main force of the Qin army had crossed the Yellow River, and the Lecheng headquarters could not resist the sharp offensive of the Qin army, and had begun to retreat to Anyi. Li Mu has also led the army south to Guanzhong, but he doesn't know what the situation is. ”

Zhao Dan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said after a while: "Who led the Qin State this time?" ”

Zhao Sheng replied: "This time it is Wang Ji and Wang Ling who are leading the army. ”

It turned out that after Bai Qi was defeated, the Wang brothers were once again activated, and took on the heavy responsibility of attacking Zhao this time.

This is actually a helpless thing for the people of Qin, after all, in the war with Zhao in the past few years, the generals of Qin have died of old age, looking at the entire Qin State, now only the two brothers Wang Ji and Wang Ling can still be used.

In addition, now, Wu Anjun is dead, and the factors that hinder the resurgence of the Wang brothers no longer exist, so it is not too surprising that the Wang brothers have regained control of the military power of the Qin State.

Zhao Dan let out a long breath and said, "And send someone to tell Lecheng that as long as the people of the Qin State are dragged to the east of the river, don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place." As long as this war is won, how much land the Qin people get now, they will have to return it to the widow after it is over! ”

At this point, the inventory of the four battlefields is over.

Judging from the current situation, Zhao is an advantageous situation in the face of Wei, a balance of power in the face of Qi due to the existence of Lian Po, a disadvantage in the face of Qin, and a big disadvantage in South Korea.

When you look at it this way, the whole situation is not reassuring.

This reminded Zhao Dan of the Wei State that was invincible all over the world in the early Warring States period.

The Wei State back then, like the Zhao State today, had to face several different enemies at the same time on various fronts, and the war on the four fronts hardly stopped.

And it was precisely because of the continuous use of troops abroad for decades that the Wei State consumed a lot of national strength, making itself weaker and weaker, and finally completely declined after the two decisive battles of the Battle of Guiling and the Battle of Maling.

Thinking of this, an uneasy thought flashed through Zhao Dan's mind: "Could it be that the widow also wants to become that Wei Wuhou?" ”

At this time, Mao Sui suddenly appeared in the main hall, and handed an urgent report to Zhao Dan with an excited and excited face.

"King, good news from Shangdang County!"

"Shangdang County's good news?" Zhao Dan immediately became excited when he heard this, and immediately said to Mao Sui: "Hurry up and show it to the widow!" ”

What is said in this good news is the battle report of Xu Lijuxin and the two of them who should cooperate inside and outside and use a night attack to break the South Korean army.

After Zhao Dan read this battle report, the pores of the whole body seemed to be completely opened all of a sudden, and the original worry in his heart was instantly thrown to Java, with a big smile on his face, he picked up the urgent report in his hand and signaled to Zhao Sheng.

"Zhuqing, Shangdang County is a great victory! Let's circulate it to all of you. ”

After a while, the entire main hall of Longtai swept away the previous solemnity and became happy.

For today's not-so-rosy war situation, this victory means too much.

Yu Xin said very excitedly: "King, in this way, the situation of the entire Shangdang County will be stabilized, as long as the Shangdang can be kept, then victory can be expected!" ”

Zhao Dan nodded with a spring breeze on her face, Yu Xin's words really entered her heart.

As long as Shangdang County was not conquered by the Koreans, then the fourth-line battlefield of Zhao State would be able to maintain close ties and thus facilitate mutual support.

Next, as long as Pang Xuan can defeat the Wei people, then this game of chess can be regarded as a complete life.

Hmph, one against four? It doesn't seem like it's that hard.

But obviously, Zhao Dan still looked down on himself to some extent, or underestimated the other Warring States princes.

Just when Zhao Danjun and his ministers were celebrating together, another urgent military situation suddenly came.

"King, Gaotang City has been lost!"
