Chapter 146: The Seeker
The land of Shenqi.
Zhongyang, Pingqi Junfu.
Zhao Jia looked at the letter in his hand, his eyes showed excitement, and his face was also eager to try.
The battle of Li Mu's fame is finally coming.
The long border line in the northern frontier of Zhao gave the Xiongnu and the Hu people of various tribes many opportunities to plunder in the south.
Facing Hu Qi, who came and went like the wind, Zhao Guo could only be tired of coping.
However, the tide was soon to turn around.
If it is said that after the Battle of Changping, Zhao broke the Yan State in the Battle of the Yan Dynasty, which was the beginning of the re-rise of the Zhao State, then Li Mu's attack on the Xiongnu in the north was the continuation of the Zhongxing of the Zhao State.
Historically, it was precisely because of the great victories in these two wars that the Zhao State, which had experienced the defeat of Changping, was able to sweep away the decline of the past and began a short-term rejuvenation.
It's a pity that ZTE has just begun, and King Zhao has already died.
Zhao Yan, who inherited the throne of Zhao, in addition to recklessly fighting and destroying relations with neighbors, also squeezed Lian Po, the pillar of Zhao, to Wei, and the road to Zhao Zhongxing was cut off.
After his son Zhao Qian succeeded to the throne, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng was already an adult, sharpening his knife and killing Zhao State.
Li Mu, who was the last pillar of Zhao State, was also secretly hunted and killed because of Zhao Qian's suspicion.
Li Mu died, and Zhao Guo died.
Not long after Li Mu was killed, the army of Zhao was defeated, and the Qin army was even more victorious, conquering Handan and capturing Zhao Qian within three months, and the king of Zhao was declared extinct.
Although after that, Zhao Jia took the clan and people who fled from all walks of life to rebuild the Zhao Kingdom in Daijun, and Zhao Jia set himself up as the acting king.
It's a pity that the general trend has gone, and after Zhao Jiagou has been breathing for several years, he was finally broken by Qin.
Today's Zhao Jia is not the Zhao Jia in history who can only endure and watch the destruction of the Zhao Kingdom, so he can rise up to fight the trapped beasts.
He not only wants to continue the prosperity of Zhao State, but also wants Zhao State to always prosper!
"Ladies and gentlemen, General Li Mu wants to borrow 10,000 troops from the land of Shenqi to help him attack the Xiongnu in the north, what do you think?"
Although Zhao Jia was excited in his heart, he quickly concealed his emotions, first looked around at everyone present, and then asked.
Everyone was silent, and no one dared to reply rashly.
Zhao Jia looked at Li Si and asked out loud: "Sir, do you think that the land of Shenqi is going to send troops to help Li Mu?" ”
Li Si pondered for a long time and said: "Although the land of Shenqi seems to be independent, it actually depends on the state of Zhao to survive, and if the country of Zhao is strong, the land of Shenqi is strong, and if the land of Shenqi is strong, the king is strong. ”
"If it is a matter of life and death for Zhao State, the monarch should help Zhao State at any cost."
"However, this year's winter is cold, and it is not the time to use troops, rashly sending troops, there will inevitably be many casualties, if the prince takes the opportunity to make a hindrance from it, I am afraid that 10,000 elite horsemen will no longer be owned by the king!"
"Therefore, according to the minister's opinion, the king may wish to write a letter to General Li Mu, asking him to suspend the attack on the Xiongnu and move when the time comes."
When Zhao Jia heard this, he didn't say anything, but set his eyes on Fan Zeng.
Fan Zeng also stepped forward and replied: "What Mr. Li said is reasonable. ”
"If this battle can be won completely, it will make Zhao Guo no longer have to worry about the future, but the war is dangerous, the outcome is unpredictable, and if you start the war rashly, you will inevitably lose everything if you don't catch it."
"And winter is indeed not suitable for sending troops, Wang Gongzi wrote a book to persuade General Li Mu to wait for the opportunity to move."
Zhao Jia looked at the two of them, but sighed slightly.
Li Si and Fan Zeng can be regarded as the top strategists in the world, and they naturally consider the problem very comprehensively.
From the perspective of the two of them, Zhao Jia's refusal to send troops, and even strongly persuaded Li Mumo to start the war, is indeed the best policy.
After all, no one can be sure that this battle against the Xiongnu in the north will be won.
It's good to say that even if 10,000 Shenqi goblins are taken away by Zhao Yan under the pretext of Zhao Yan, Zhao will not have the trouble of the northern Xiongnu, and the national strength will also increase greatly.
Zhao Guoqiang, the land of Shenqi can also be stained.
What if it fails?
Not only the Zhao State, which already has signs of Zhongxing, will be stillborn on the road to Zhongxing, and the 10,000 elite horsemen sent out by the land of Shenqi will definitely be difficult to recover.
It is not beneficial to the country or to the land of Shenqi.
Therefore, when the two of them were not sure, they were a little conservative in their strategies without understanding Li Mu.
Zhao Jia knew that Li Mu would definitely win a complete victory in this battle, and he would also go down in history.
If he can participate, he will not only take the opportunity to gild again, but after breaking the Huns, he will also let Zhao open the road of rapid prosperity, which will be of great benefit to the country and himself.
Even if you bury 10,000 elite riders because of this, it is definitely worth it.
Zhao Jia glanced at the civil and military forces in the room, and found that even Sima Shang and other generals showed approval on their faces.
Obviously, after experiencing the killing of Zhao Qian and Guo Kai, the lives and interests of these people have been completely tied to Zhao Jia.
The battle of the Xiongnu in the north, in the eyes of everyone, did not have much benefit to the land of Shenqi.
Even if they won in the end, it was Zhao Guo and Li Mu who benefited the most.
Since this is the case, there is no need to take a huge risk to help Li Mu attack the Xiongnu.
Not to mention.
Zhao Yan, the crown prince who has always been jealous of Zhao Jia, could not guarantee that he would not get in the way, and even took the opportunity to seize the land of Shenqi.
Everyone has selfishness, so they are naturally reluctant to send troops to help.
Zhao Jia's eyes continued to wander around the room, and finally fell on Wang Jian who closed his eyes and recuperated and never said a word.
"Wang Duwei, what is your opinion on this matter?"
Li Si and Fan Zeng failed to make the best choice because of the limitations of the times and identities, which is reasonable.
Sima Shang and others do not have a strong view of the overall situation, and Zhao Jia does not expect too much.
Only Wang Qian, the famous general who almost single-handedly destroyed the six countries of Kwantung in history, Zhao Jia has high hopes.
Perhaps, Wang Qian, who is also a military general, can understand Li Mu better.
Perhaps, Wang Qian, who has a view of the overall situation, can look at this problem from different angles.
Zhao Jia's eyes also showed a look of expectation.
In the face of Zhao Jia's positive inquiry, Wang Jian finally opened his eyes, and then smiled: "The last general thinks that Mr. Li's words are very good. ”
When Zhao Jia heard this, his look of expectation slowly receded, and he sighed slightly in his heart.
"After all, am I expecting too much?"
Zhao Jia secretly smiled bitterly, but he didn't say anything, and now all the martial arts under his command regard the interests of Shenqi Land as the first place.
If Zhao did not have the disaster of losing the country, they were not willing to risk the weakening of the land of Shenqi and help Li Mu to fight a big battle with no chance of winning.
"Mr. said: If Zhao Guoqiang is strong, the land of Shenqi will be strong, and if the land of Shenqi is strong, the king will be strong."
"I think that's true."
"It's just that Jian has some doubts in his heart, in recent years, the Zhao State has broken the Yan State in the east, resisted the strong Qin State in the west, and Jingchu in the south, and the country is thriving."
"Only in the northern Xinjiang, the Xiongnu, Donghu, and Linhu have been in Koubian for many years, and they are unbearable."
"If you want Zhao to have no worries, General Li Mu's suggestion to attack the Xiongnu in the north is a strategy for the country, and it is also a great good."
"Since Zhao Guoqiang is strong, why doesn't the king give up the land of Shenqi, and do his best to help General Li Mu attack the Xiongnu in the north!"
Wang Jia's words changed suddenly, which caught everyone off guard, but Zhao Jia's eyes showed an amazing look.
This is the peerless general in Zhao Jia's mind who can look at the world and help Qin Shi Huang sweep the world!
