Volume 5 Zhou Ji 5 (2)
Fifty-three years. King Chu Nazhou Mausoleum seeks peace.
Wu Anjun attacked Han, pulled out the wild king, and the road to the party was isolated.
Shangdang guarded Feng Ting too much, and conspired with the people in the city and said: "Now the road to Zhengdi is gone, and the Qin army is still advancing. South Korea cannot resist. It is better to return the above party to Zhao. Zhao accepted me, and Qin will definitely attack him. Zhao was attacked by Qin and would definitely be friendly with Korea. Han and Zhao united, and they could compete with the Qin army. So he sent an envoy to Zhao and said: "Korea cannot defend the Shangdang and will be annexed by the Qin state, but the people of the Shangdang are all attached to the Zhao state and are unwilling to be annexed by the Qin state." The lower officials are willing to bow to the king again,"
King Zhao told Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao about this. Zhao Bao said: "The saint takes unwarranted gain as a disaster. ”
Zhao Wang said; "People like our benevolence, who says there is no reason?"
Zhao Bao said: "The Qin State encroached on South Korea, so that the Korean land must not be connected, the king thinks that he is sitting and accepting the party, in fact, the reason why the Koreans do not dedicate to the Qin State is to blame the king." The Qin State mobilized the people, and the Zhao State reaped its benefits. Although it is strong, it cannot be obtained from the weak, but can the weak take it from the strong opponent? How can this be said to be gratuitous? The king might as well not accept it. ”
King Zhao told Pingyuan Jun about this, and Pingyuan Jun asked King Zhao to accept the party. The king of Zhao sent the king of Pingyuan to take over the land. With three thousand households, he was crowned as Huayang Jun. The three thousand households were named marquis. The officials and the people are all third-level knights. Feng Ting wept and saw the messenger and said, "How can I sell my king's land and increase my food?" “
Fifty-five years. Qin Zuoshu Chang Wang Di broke through the Shangdang. The people of the party ran to Zhao. Zhao's Lian Po garrisoned troops in Changping. Responsible for accepting the people of the party.
Wang Ji therefore attacked Zhao. The Zhao army was invincible in several battles.
King Zhao and Lou Chang, Yu Qing schemed. Lou Chang asked the envoy to go and make peace. Yu Qing said: "Now peace and discord are all in the Qin army. The Qin people were determined to break through the king's army, and although they asked for peace, the Qin generals would not listen. It is better to send an envoy to bribe Chu Wei with a heavy treasure, and if Chu Wei accepts it, the Qin people will suspect that the princes of the world are obedient again, so that they can succeed in making peace again. “
King Zhao didn't listen. Make Zheng Zhu go to Qin to make peace. The state of Qin accepted. King Zhao said to Yu Qing: "The Qin State has accepted Zheng Zhu," and Yu Qing said: "The king must fail to make peace and the army will be broken." Why? The people who congratulated the victory in the world were all in the Qin State, Zheng Zhu, was the nobleman of the Zhao State, and the King of Qin Ying Marquis would definitely deliberately show him importance to the world to inform the world. In this way, everyone in the world knows that the king has made peace with Qin. In this way, no one will come to save the king, and the king of Qin sees that no one will come to save him, how can he succeed in talking about peace like this? “
Later, as Yu Qing expected, the people of Qin just deliberately respected Zheng Zhu and publicized it, but they did not agree to make peace.
The Qin soldiers defeated the Zhao soldiers many times. Lian Po is not out. King Zhao lost a lot of people because of Lian Po, coupled with cowardice, and scolded him many times. Ying Hou sent someone to Zhao Guo with gold to make a counter-plot, saying: "The people of Qin are not afraid of anything else, they are afraid that Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, will be a general, Lian is quite easy to deal with, and he will surrender soon." ”
King Zhao then used Zhao Kuo as a general.
Lin Xiangru said: "The king uses Zhao Kuo in a false name, just like a rubber pillar and a drum, Zhao Kuo can read his father's military book, and he doesn't know how to change it. King Zhao didn't listen.
At the beginning, Zhao Kuo learned the art of war since he was a child, and he thought that he was invincible in the world. once talked about military affairs with his father Zhao Hao, and Zhao Hao couldn't trouble him. But it's not good. Zhao Kuo's mother, please ask why. Zhao Hao said: "The soldiers die, and Zhao Kuo is too easy to say." Zhao Guo does not take Zhao Kuo as a general, if he is made a general, the one who breaks the Zhao army must be Zhao Kuo. “
When Zhao Kuo was about to leave, Zhao Kuo's mother wrote that Zhao Kuo was not available. King Zhao said, "Why? “
His mother said: "When his father was a general, he shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. The goods that were given by the king and the clan were put into the barracks. Nothing is in the private house. On the day of the ordination, he did not ask about family affairs. Now that Zhao Kuo is a general, he is facing eastward, and the military officials do not dare to look up at him. The golden silk given by the king was kept at home. Every day, I ask around and there is a cheap farmhouse to buy. The king thought that he was like his father, but he did not know that father and son were of different hearts. I hope the king doesn't use him. “
King Zhao said: "Don't say it, I have made up my mind." “
Mother Zhao said: "If there is something incompetent, I hope the king will not ask us to sit together." “
King Zhao said, "Okay." “
When the king of Qin heard that Zhao Kuo was already a general of Zhao, he secretly made Wu Anjun a general and Wang Yi a general. Ordered those in the army who dared to leak Wu Xinjun as a general.
