Zhao Wangdan grew up, He had suffered such humiliation, pulled out the long sword in his waist, split the case table kicked in half with a sword, and roared: "King Qin, dare to bully me." ”

Pingyang Jun knew that the peace negotiation failed, which represented the beginning of the war, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we must prepare for a big war with the Qin State. ”

Seeing that the discussion and defeat were defeated, a war with the Qin State could not be avoided, and they shouted in unison: "We are willing to fight a bloody battle with the Qin State." ”

"Okay." Zhao Wangdan returned the long sword to the scabbard, full of fighting spirit, "We will fight with the Qin State to the end." ”

Yu Qing did not echo everyone's words, on the contrary, sat on the side and smiled. This laughter became the focus of everyone's attention and successfully attracted everyone's attention. Zhao Wangdan saw Yu Qing laughing wildly, and was unhappy, and asked, "Yu Qing, what are you laughing at?" ”

Yu Qing looked away, as if she hadn't heard or spoken.

Zhao Wangdan knew that Yu Qing was a person with ideas, and he also regretted that he didn't listen to Yu Qing's words, which led to the failure of the peace negotiation, and asked: "King Qin bullies the widow, what should the widow do." ”

The crowd shouted indignantly: "Fight." ”

Zhao Wangdan has suffered such a big grievance, plus he is young and vigorous, how can he endure it. However, Yu Qing did not speak at this critical moment, presumably disagreeing with the opinions of the ministers. Zhao Wangdan was full of guilt when he saw that he had collided with him in words before, and at the same time, in order to ask Yu Qing's opinion, he put down his body and asked, "Yu Qing, the widow regrets not listening to you." What should we do if we fail. ”

Yu Qing saw that King Zhao was not calm at all, and he lost the style of a king, and sighed: "Your Majesty, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place." ”

Zhao Wangdan thought that he was holding peace with Qin Guo, but he didn't expect Yu Qing's words to come true, and he was even more convinced. At the beginning, if he had listened to Yu Qing's words, he would not have put Zhao Guo in danger.

Zhao Wangdan thought of these things, and it was too late to regret it, so he took a heavy breath and said softly: "Yes! If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. ”

The eunuch Ling saw that the king was able to say this, obviously realizing his mistake. The eunuch Ling was suffering from lack of wisdom, and relieved Zhao Wangdan's worries, and looked at Yu Qing again, but saw that the other party looked calm, and chose to be silent.

The eunuch made it speculate that there must be a reason why Yu Qing laughed. The reason why he didn't speak was that he was still angry about the gambling contract, and asked: "This is a matter of national affairs." Yu Qing, what do you think? ”

Pingyang Jun also heard about Zhao Wangdan's bet with Yu Qing, and knew more about Yu Qing's talent. Yu Qing is also the most strategicistic person after Lin Xiangru. The state of Qin went to war with the state of Zhao, and it would not work without his idea.

Pingyang Jun looked around and said to the courtiers: "The big war is ahead, we should put aside our prejudices, unite with the outside world, and fight against the Qin State." ”

Yu Qing knew that Pingyang Jun said this to the courtiers and to him. However, Yu Qing still went her own way and didn't pay much attention to it.

Zhao Wangdan saw that Yu Qing still refused to give advice, and his temperament was a little anxious, but when he saw Pingyang Jun handing over a look, he understood and apologized to Yu Qing: "The widow is young and vigorous, so I bet with you." Yu Qing, please don't take it to heart. This war is related to the safety of our country, and I ask Yu Qing to give advice to the widow. ”

Yu Qing laughed, because he felt that the ministers were angry and attacked Qin, and they didn't take the conquest seriously. He smiled and said nothing, not because of the bet with Zhao Wangdan, but because he was worried that he would not be adopted by King Zhao if he offered advice again. Yu Qing didn't expect Zhao Wangdan to repeatedly put down his posture, and he also had the character of changing when the king knew his mistakes.

Yu Qing looked at Zhao Wangdan and asked, "Your Majesty, can we fight?" ”

Zhao Wangdan didn't know what he meant, and asked, "Isn't Yu Qing also advocating war, why would he say such a thing now." ”

"The ministers advocate war, and that's because King Qin doesn't know our hole cards. We threw our hole cards, what's the point of fighting again. Yu Qing saw that King Zhao was in thought, and asked again, "At this moment, we show our hole cards." Qin's refusal to negotiate peace illustrates something. ”

Pingyang Jun accosted: "The Qin State is sure to defeat us. ”

Yu Qing looked at the person in front of him who advocated peace, "The Qin State knows our hole cards, refuses to negotiate peace, and chooses to expand the war. It can only show that the Qin State is sure and confident in fighting against us. ”

A sense of fear surged in Zhao Wangdan's heart and asked, "What should I do then." ”

Yu Qing didn't answer, and asked again: "King Qin deceived us in front of us, and detained our envoys, what is their purpose?" ”

"Wang Yi was blocked by us on the west side of the Dan River, and the Qin army lacked food, grass, and ordnance." Seeing that King Zhao couldn't answer, Pingyang Jun took the initiative to answer, "King Qin deceived us and detained Zheng Zhu just to fight and buy time. ”

"That's one of them." Yu Qing said: "Second, it is the Qin State that isolates the relationship between us and the princes. ”

Pingyang Jun said: "Qin State isolates us? ”

"The Qin State has been planning a war with us for a long time. To go to war, you have to be prepared. The Qin State had sufficient grain and grass and complete armaments. We were isolated by the princes and unprepared for war. Yu Qing sighed: "The battle situation is very unfavorable for us. If we attack rashly, we will only increase the number of casualties. The minister believes that there can be no war. ”

"Can't fight?" Zhao Wangdan asked unwillingly: "If we don't fight, it will be difficult for us to be bullied by the Qin State." ”

"What the minister said is that he can't fight, but he doesn't take the initiative to fight." Yu Qing said again: "King Qin insists on starting a war with us. Sanjin boys, how can they not have the courage to fight a decisive battle. ”

Pingyangjun thought about it and didn't understand the meaning, but as soon as he thought of Yu Qing, he was worshiped as Shangqing when he saw the first king, and he must have something extraordinary, so he humbly asked for advice: "Please, Mr. advise." ”

Yu Qing saw that most of the ministers had lost their minds because of the failure of the peace discussion, but Pingyang Jun was one of the few sober people, so he lowered the speed of his speech, "The Qin army is fierce and has strong morale, and we are going to attack, which is exactly what the Qin State wants." The minister did not advocate going to war, not because he was afraid of the Qin State. It's that I don't think it's the best time to play. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked: "If you don't fight, how can you retreat from Qin." ”

Yu Qing said: "If we don't fight, we will defend." ”

Zhao Wang Dan asked: "Danhe, can you block the offensive of the Qin army?" ”

"General Lian Lao was on the east side of the Dan River, setting up a formation to block the offensive of the Qin army. King Qin's increase in troops could not easily break through the defense line of the old general. Yu Qing paused for a moment and continued: "The matter of conquest is full of vigor, then decline, and then exhausted. If the Qin army can't take the Dan River, its morale will be greatly reduced, and we will be able to fight back. ”

Zhao Wangdan suddenly came to his senses and asked, "What does Yu Qing mean to be outnumbered to stick to the barriers, take defense as an attack, and fight a protracted war of attrition with the Qin State?" ”

Yu Qing nodded and said, "The Qin army can't win quickly, and our army won't be defeated quickly." The battle between us and the Qin State will only last. Taking defense as an offensive and fighting a protracted war of attrition is the best way for us to resist the Qin army. ”

Pingyang Jun thought about it, felt that there would be drawbacks to a protracted war, and asked: "My country's national strength is not as good as that of Qin. Fighting a protracted war of attrition will not be good for us. ”

Yu Qing didn't answer and asked, "So far, do we still have a way to fight a quick battle with the Qin State?" ”

Zhao Wangdan had no idea, and seeing that the ministers did not speak, he said: "The widow will fight a protracted war of attrition with the Qin State." ”

Yu Qing saw that Zhao Wangdan had adopted his own proposal, and said: "Whether we can win this battle or not depends on three steps. ”

Seeing that there was a way to intercept the Qin army, Zhao Wangdan turned his worries into joy, and asked humbly: "Yu Qing, please speak." ”

"The first step is to intercept the offensive of the Qin army. This step is the hardest and most important. Yu Qing said: "Whether we can stop the offensive of the Qin army depends on whether General Lian can hold the defense line on the east side of the Dan River." ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "What is the second step?" ”

Yu Qing said: "If we want to fight a protracted war of attrition with the Qin State, we must make long-term preparations. This battle is not a petty fight, but a battle of national fortunes. It is also a multifaceted and all-round contest between China and Qin. ”

Zhao Wangdan thought of going to a full-scale war with the Qin State, but he had no confidence, and said in a panic: "One-on-one, can we defeat the Qin State?" ”

"We can't win the Qin State alone, so it's better to unite the Qi State." Yu Qing is not an arrogant person, and he also knows the national strength of the Zhao State, and it is indeed a little difficult to fight against the Qin State in an all-round way.

"Qi will help us defeat Qin?" Zhao Wangdan thought about it and felt that it was impossible.

In that year, when King Zhao succeeded to the throne, the Qin State attacked Zhao and took three cities. Zhao Wei later sent Chang'an Jun to Qi as a hostage, and King Qi Xiang chose to help Zhao resist Qin because of various considerations. Today, Qi Xiang Wang, the new king is young, and the queen mother is in charge. The state of Qi will not be involved in the disputes between Qin and Zhao.

Pingyang Jun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. We still have an alliance with the country of Qi. ”

"Even if we still have an alliance with the Qi State." Zhao Wangdan asked, "Under what excuse do we use to go to Qi Country for help?" ”

Pingyang Jun couldn't think of a way to involve the Qi State in the dispute between Qin and Zhao. Besides? Why did Qi help Zhao to resist Qin.

Seeing that the ministers did not speak, Yu Qing said: "The ministers think that we are testing the attitude of Qi with the only reason to buy grain. The state of Qi promised to sell us grain, and the alliance could still succeed. If you don't sell it, it's dangerous. ”

Pingyangjun asked: "If you don't sell it, what's the danger?" ”

Yu Qing thought of the worst, "The Qi State is unwilling to form an alliance with us. Against the Qin State, we can only use the strength of the whole country. ”

Seeing that this matter was very important, Zhao Wangdan looked at the ministers and asked, "Who is going to Qi?" ”

Pingyang Jun said: "The king thinks it is more appropriate for anyone to go to Qi State." ”

Zhao Wangdan saw that the plan was offered by Yu Qing, and he went to Qi to promote the alliance between the two countries, so he asked: "Hard work, Yu Qing has a trip." ”

Yu Qing knew that King Zhao would hand over this matter to him, shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate for the minister to go." ”

King Zhao didn't expect to be rejected, and he didn't get angry, and asked, "Yu Qing, you are not suitable, who else is suitable." ”

Yu Qing saw that King Zhao had forgotten that important person, and said three words in an unhappy tone, "Du Changjun." ”

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he said worriedly: "Du Changjun is sick and has difficulty moving. If we let him go to Qi Country, will we..."

Yu Qing knew what King Zhao had not yet said, and said with a smile: "Du Changjun followed the example of Wangzhu and ran for the peace of the two countries. It couldn't be more suitable for him to go to the country of Qi. ”

Zhao Wangdan believed Yu Qing's judgment and shouted: "Okay, the widow has given Du Changjun an order to let him go to Qi Country quickly." ”

Yu Qing persuaded: "It's inappropriate to give an order. The king will go himself."

Zhao Wangdan also felt that it was better for him to go in person, and said busily: "The widow is negligent." ”

"The old general Lian holds his position, and the capital Changjun joins the Qi Alliance." Pingyang Jun saw that Yu Qing had said two steps, but there was still one step left, and asked, "Yu Qing, what is the last step." ”

"Consume the Qin army for a decisive battle." Yu Qing said again: "Your Majesty, it is imperative that we hold the Dan River and not let the Qin army take a step forward. ”

Zhao Wangdan hurriedly said: "Come on, quickly send an order to General Lian, stick to the position, and don't let the Qin army cross the Dan River." ”

......

"Report." A scout hurriedly came to the main army's tent and shouted: "Old General Lian, find a large number of Qin troops and assemble on the west side of the Dan River. ”

When Lian Po heard this, he felt bad, and waved his hand: "Explore again." ”

As soon as the scout left, Pingyuan Jun hurriedly walked in, "Old General Lian, this is a letter sent by the king. We failed to negotiate peace. ”

Lian Po had long known that this was the result, and said calmly: "The peace negotiation failed." Our great war with Qin is about to begin. Plains-kun, a fierce storm awaits us. ”

Pingyuan Jun swallowed and spat, stabilized his mind, and asked, "We really want to start a large-scale war with the Qin State. ”

"I'm not alarmist." Lian Po looked in the direction of the west side of the Dan River and exhaled, "The scout has come to report that the Qin State has increased its troops. ”

When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he looked uneasy and said, "Old General Lian, how do we deal with it." ”

Lian Po said confidently: "Pingyuan-kun, don't worry. With me here, Qin Jun didn't want to take a step forward. ”

Pingyuan Jun was quite sure when he saw Lian, and his heart didn't seem flustered, "I believe in the ability of General Lian." However, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if the Dan River is lost and we can't hold it, what will happen? ”

Lian Po said with a smile: "Pingyuanjun don't worry, we lost the Dan River, and there is still a barrier that can intercept the Qin army." ”

"General Lian said that it is the Great Wall of Baili Stone?" Only then did Pingyuan Jun understand the deep meaning of Lian Po's construction of the Great Wall.

"Not bad. Relying on the Great Wall, we will definitely be able to intercept the Qin army. ”

"The King of Qin has increased his troops, and the Qin army of the Wild King has also gathered in the Dan River, and the Qin army has more people than us. Nor can we be careless. Pingyuan Jun saw that Lian had already thought about the next step, and admired him even more. With Lian Po, he was also relieved a lot.

Pingyuan Jun took out Zhao Wangdan's letter, handed it to Lian Po, and said, "We failed to negotiate peace with Qin this time. The state of Qin will definitely increase its offensive against us. Wang Shang ordered the old general Lian Po to hold the fortress and intercept the Qin army on the west side of the Dan River. Old General Lian, are you sure? ”

Lian Po took the letter of state and saw a few lines written on it. Zhao Wang Dan signaled him to stick to the barrier, hold on, and intercept the Qin army on the west side of the Dan River. Zhao Wangdan was between war and peace, first choosing war, and then choosing peace. Today, between the negotiation and the defeat, between the offensive and the defensive, the choice of defending.

Lian Po didn't know what the young Zhao Wangdan was thinking. Waiting for the attack is also his strategy. At this time, it coincided with Zhao Wangdan. Lian Po looked at Pingyuan Jun and promised: "Although the Qin army is numerous, it is not conducive to large-scale battles. I'm guarding this place myself. Qin Guoxiu wanted to take another step. ”

Pingyuanjun was relieved: "With the words of the old general, I am relieved." ”
