Chapter 120: Preparing for War
King Zhao's Palace.
After listening to the messenger's report, King Zhao immediately became a little dumbfounded.
Not only King Zhao, but even the crown prince Zhao Yan and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all staring at this time, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Although there are 30,000 elite horsemen in the land of Shenqi, the elite of the 100,000 Qin army has a commander of Mengfu, which is definitely not to be underestimated.
They originally thought that it would be extremely difficult for Zhao Jia to block the Qin army's attack on Shenqi.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jia turned his passivity into initiative when he lost the Turkish army fortress, led his troops into Qin, broke 100,000 Qin troops, and beheaded countless people.
Such a record is simply brilliant to the extreme.
Even Lian Po, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and is used to seeing the storm, is shocked in his heart.
"What a widow's grandson!"
"Haha!"
"Haha!"
"Hahahaha!"
After the shock, King Zhao was overjoyed and couldn't help laughing, and the laughter continued to echo in the hall.
Zhao Jia broke 100,000 Qin troops.
This move not only gave Zhao Guo Chang's face, but also won glory for the royal family, how could King Zhao not laugh? .
"Congratulations to the king, Gongzi Jia is really the pillar of the Zhao country, and it is also the blessing of the royal family!"
Lian Po already had a bad relationship with Zhao Jia, and now that he sees Zhao Jia making great contributions, he naturally will not be stingy with praise and wants to invite credit for Zhao Jia.
"Jia Gongzi is both civil and military, and he knows the soldiers and is good at fighting, which is really a great luck for Zhao Guo!"
At this time, the vast majority of courtiers echoed their words, and the voices of praise were endless.
When King Zhao heard everyone's words, he thought that Zhao Jianai was his eldest grandson, and his heart became more and more happy, and the laughter never stopped.
"Ahem, ahem!"
But soon, King Zhao's laughter immediately stopped, and instead began to cough violently.
Today's King Zhao's health is not as good as before, if he hadn't heard such good news today, his mood swings would not have been so intense.
"Father, take care!"
Zhao Yan, who had never said a word, saw King Zhao coughing violently, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern.
It's just that in the depths of Zhao Yan's eyes, there is a faint haze.
He originally thought that by exiled Zhao Jia to the land of Shenqi, this son who was not treated well by him would be separated from the power center of Zhao State from now on.
Not only that, but Zhao Jia, who was named Pingqi Jun, will also be retaliated against by Qiang Qin.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jia not only gained a firm foothold in the land of Shenqi and made the business there impressive, but also broke the Qin army with outnumbered attacks and beheaded nearly 100,000.
With such a brilliant record, coupled with the identity of the eldest grandson of King Zhao Jia, even if Zhao Yangui is the crown prince, the limelight is completely suppressed by him.
At this time, Zhao Yan saw everyone's praise for Zhao Jia, and the jealousy in his heart became more and more vigorous, and his fists were clenched tightly.
He glanced at Lian Po, and then remembered Li Mu, who was stationed in northern Xinjiang and was close to Zhao Jia, but his heart became extremely heavy.
He was suddenly a little worried, if he continued to connive at Zhao Jia's development, and Lian Po and Li Mu had a good relationship with him, then when King Zhao died, it was not yet known who would be able to ascend the throne.
Zhao Yan, who has been waiting for many years, will definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen.
"Haha, it's an old problem, it's no big deal."
"Prince, you see that Jia'er has such ability, should you be happy for it!"
Even though King Zhao's face was flushed, he still laughed loudly, showing the excitement in his heart.
When Zhao Yan heard this, his heart sank to the bottom.
He knew that he must not condone everyone to continue to praise Zhao Jia, otherwise it would not be long before Zhao Jia would have an amazing influence even if he was not in the court.
"Jia'er's battle is certainly to raise the prestige of our country, and the shame of a long peace of snow makes the whole country of Zhao rejoice."
"However, don't forget your father, Jia'er's act of breaking her promise may also bring disaster to Zhao Guo."
"Qin State, it's not so easy to bully!"
"According to Erchen's opinion, Jia'er's consideration of the problem is still too simple after all, and this time it may even cause a big disaster for Zhao Guo."
Zhao Yan's words were like cold water poured on King Zhao's head, and the palace, which was originally in a warm atmosphere, suddenly became the sound of falling needles.
The strength of the Qin State is known to the world.
In its heyday, the Zhao State could not defeat the Qin State, let alone the Zhao State, which had experienced the defeat of Changping.
Although Zhao Jia's actions were very happy, they would also anger the Qin State.
This kind of anger may even tear Zhao Guo, who has just improved, to pieces.
Now.
Even Lian Po, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a strong temperament, was silent after hearing Zhao Yan's words.
In the early stage of the Battle of Changping, Lian Po had fought fiercely with the Qin army for several years, so he naturally knew the terrible things about the Qin army.
Today's strong Qin is like a thousand boulders, overwhelming everyone, and no country dares to really anger the powerful Qin State.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the palace was stagnant, King Zhao's smile also froze on his face.
"Bang!"
He remembered the Battle of Changping, and couldn't help but smash the things on the desk to the ground, and then stared at Zhao Yan with a gloomy face.
"Jia'er's move, a shame of snow and peace, fighting the prestige of my Zhao people, and boosting the morale of my Zhao country, is a monstrous merit!"
"Could it be that because of the fear of the Qin State's retaliation, he keeps making compromises, but he can fight without fighting, he can kill but not kill, and he can seize land but not take it!"
King Zhao was a little excited, and when he looked at Zhao Yan, he was also a little angry.
Over the years, although King Zhao has continued to seek perfection from the Qin State Committee.
However, as Zhao Dan, who dared to resist the Qin State head-on, even after experiencing the defeat of Changping, there was still a raging flame burning in his heart.
As long as he can find an opportunity, King Zhao doesn't mind biting Qin Guo hard and being ashamed of Xue Changping.
Therefore, when he saw Zhao Yan, who was about to inherit his position, was so afraid of the Qin State, he immediately felt angry.
was reprimanded by King Zhao in person, Zhao Yan didn't dare to argue for himself at all, so he could only lower his eyebrows.
"After a hundred years, you will be the king of Zhao."
"As a king, you can compromise for the good of the country, but you must not have fear."
"Otherwise, sooner or later you will become the king of the fallen country!"
King Zhao's voice was fierce, and his tone became heavier and heavier, and finally Zhao Yan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say much.
King Zhao stood up with the support of the case, and then suddenly pulled out the sword beside him, and shouted: "King Qin once said: This battle will only send 100,000 Qin troops, if you can't win, the land of Shenqi will be owned by my Zhao State from now on." ”
"The widow hereby swears that if the king of Qin dares to break his word and get fat, the widow is willing to fight to the death with the power of Zhao Qiguo!"
"Where is Lian Po?"
"The last general!"
"Recruit soldiers and horses from all over the country, and be ready for a decisive battle with Qin at any time!"
"Promise!"
"Where's Lees?"
"The minister is here!"
"You take my edict to the state of Chu, if the king of Qin is angry and continues to send troops to attack the land of Shenqi, you must persuade the king of Chu to send troops to help!"
As a guest of Zhao Jiamen, Li Si was not qualified to enter the court.
It's just that Li Si joined Qi as a lobbyist before, showing excellent personal ability, plus Zhao Jia is the son-in-law of King Chu, Li Si, as Zhao Jia's guest, can better represent Zhao Jia.
It was with these in mind that King Zhao let Li Si enter Chu.
