Chapter 358: Zhao Dan's thoughts

"Everything can only be blamed on Zhao Guo for losing the first move, Guo Zong is such a shrewd businessman, how can he not see Zhao Guo's disadvantages, and he is uneasy in his heart, it is certain, but I believe that I can still suppress him, even if he is a little dissatisfied, he doesn't have to care." As soon as Zhao Kuo thought of the mistakes of Zhao Guo's entire decision-making level, he felt that it was a pity that people stomped their feet.

Zhao Guo originally took the lead, when Feng Ting took Shangdang County to Zhao State, Zhao Guo first wanted to accept the trouble, and when it was determined to accept the South Korean Shangdang County, Lian Po immediately came up with a military plan.

Lian Po felt that the entire Shangdang County was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it was extremely disadvantageous to be on the defensive side, because the entire Shangdang County was surrounded by mountains, as long as the Qin army was condescending, it was a question whether it could be defended, so Lian Po suggested that heavy troops should be stationed in the Changping area south of Shangdang to control the main road between Changzi and Changping, so as to ensure the absolute safety of Shangdang County, and to advance and retreat freely.

It was such an excellent military decision, and it became hesitant in the hands of Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao, and convened the civil and military officials to discuss the left and the right, and when there was no result in the discussion, the Qin army under the leadership of Wang Di, the chief of the left, rushed to occupy the Shangdang area in one fell swoop, and it was only at this time that the king of Zhao decided to send troops to Lian Po, and this decision was really better not to let Lian Po send troops!

Mao Sui sighed and said: "There are a lot of villains around the king, Guo Kai, Zhao Mu and the like, needless to say, now there are Lou Chang and Yu Pu, if there are no these people, Zhao Guo is afraid that he would have taken over the party county long ago." ”

Zhao Kuo knew that Lou Chang was a general, and he was a general of the same era as his father Zhao Hao, but some of them were ambitious and talented, and they had no real skills, when King Huiwen was twenty-three years old, Lou Chang was ordered to attack several cities of Wei, leading more than 100,000 troops, and he did not fight a city in Wei for a few months, Zhao He really couldn't bear it, and ordered Lian Po to replace Lou Chang, Lian Po captured seven cities of Wei in less than a month, Lou Chang was very resentful of Lian Po because of this matter, and this time he re-emerged from the mountain and pulled Lian Po's hind legs, which is normal.

This is the first time Zhao Kuo has heard of this person, and he said, "Who is this Yu Pu?" How I haven't heard of it. ”

Mao Sui smiled and said: "This Yu Pu is Zhang Yi Su Qin's next-generation disciple, in the early years of lobbying countries was unsuccessful, very down-and-out, not long after the king left Handan, this Yu Pu arrived in Handan, and met the king by chance, maybe it was fate!" The king admired this Yu Pu's talent and eloquence very much, and immediately rewarded him with a pair of gold and white bi, and when they met for the second time, they worshiped Yu Pu as Shangqing, and now no one calls him by name, they are all honored as Yu Qing......"

Zhao Kuo also smiled and said, "It's only been a year since I left this time, and it's interesting that so many characters have appeared." ”

"Trampling ......" A few fast horses galloped like the wind and flew into Handan City like a smoke, but it was the latest battle report sent by the Changping front.

All the battle reports sent by Changping, Zhao Dan always have to open and watch it as soon as possible, Zhao Dan thought that what he was waiting for was good news, and he was a little short of breath when he opened it, Lian Po said that the Zhao army and the Qin army launched a skirmish in Changping, the Zhao army lost, the captain Zhao Qi had been killed, and the Qin army was still continuing to increase troops, Lian Po implored the king of Zhao to immediately increase his troops in Changping, in order to resist the Qin army's more powerful offensive soon after......

Zhao Dan also hopes that he can be a famous king through the ages, at least to surpass the great cause of his grandfather Zhao Wuling, but unfortunately there has been no chance, this time South Korea's Shangdang County to vote, Zhao Dan felt that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he refuted the suggestion of Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao and Shangqing Mao Sui, insisted on receiving Shangdang County, in Zhao Dan's view, this is a very simple thing, Zhao Jun sent troops, Shangdang County was assigned to the territory of Zhao State, and he was able to open up seventeen cities in less than two years after succeeding to the throne, although it was not as good as his grandfather to destroy Zhongshan Kingdom, But the merit is not small.

Zhao Dan imagined things too simply, so that the simple ones were a little stupid, and he would hold Lian Po's battle report in his hand, only to know that the cooked duck might also fly away.

"Immediately spread that Pingyang Jun, Xiang Bang, Yu Qing, Mao Sui, Guo Kai, Zhao Mu, General Lou Chang and others entered the palace, and this king has important matters to discuss." Zhao Dan put down the battle report and wanted to listen to the opinions of the ministers of civil and military affairs.

It didn't take long, except for Mao Sui who was not in the city and didn't enter the palace, everyone else arrived, and when they saw the Changping battle report presented by Zhao Dan, everyone was silent.

Zhao Dan saw that the Wenchen generals he relied on very much had become mute one by one, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and said: "This time the Zhao army and the Qin army competed, the Zhao army was unfavorable, and lost one of the generals, the widow was very annoyed in his heart, and he was ready to use the strength of the whole country to compete with the Qin army, what do you think Aiqing?" ”

Lou Chang listened to Zhao Dan's words, his heart moved, he saw that although Lian Po was not pleasing to the eye, but Lian Po's ability was indeed stronger than him, if King Zhao really decided to raise the strength of the whole country to compete with the Qin State, if Lian Po won this battle, his tail would not be able to rise to the sky, and he would be upset when he thought of this Lou Chang.

Lou Chang had the intention of harming others and not benefiting himself, and said: "King, it seems inappropriate to do this, increasing troops may not be able to reverse the current decline of our army, and marching and fighting mainly depends on how it will be used, such as the battle of Yanhe, some people think that they can't send troops, but some people think that they can control the enemy in one fell swoop......"

Zhao Dan knew the meaning of Lou Chang's words, and remembered the different attitudes of Zhao Hao and Lian Po during the battle of Yan He, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "It's a pity that Ma Fujun is no longer there, and Lu Lingjun has not returned from another mission, although General Lian Po is also a famous general in the world, but ...... It seems that the courage is a little insufficient. ”

Lou Chang saw that King Zhao's tone of increasing troops eased, and said: "The minister thinks that it is useless to continue to increase troops, it is better to send ministers to envoy Qin State, find a way to make peace with Qin State, and divide Shangdang County equally, Qin Army defeated the Han Army before, and its strength has been weakened, at this time to make peace with Qin Army, Qin Army must also have to consider it." ”

Zhao Dan groaned, his eyes fell on Yu Qing, and said, "Aiqing, what should you do in your opinion?" Zhao Dan felt that Yu Qing was very talented, and he should be able to come up with the most correct advice at this time.

Yu Qing thought for a while and said: "General Lou Chang advocates peace, but whether the peace negotiation can succeed or not, the initiative is still in the Qin State, and it depends on whether the Qin State wants to separate the victory or defeat with the Zhao State." ”

Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, who had been beside him without speaking, snorted and said, "The Qin people must spare no effort to defeat our army, do you still need to ask!" ”

Yu Qing nodded and said: "In this case, the minister thinks that he should send envoys to Wei and Chu and Qi with valuable gifts, and the world must know that it must be publicized, so that the Qin people must suspect that the world will become a convergence again, and they have to worry about the threat of the alliance formed by the countries to the Qin army, only in this way can the Zhao State take back the initiative!" ”

Lou Chang pursed his lips and said, "Didn't Shangqing mean to negotiate peace?" It's just that it looks better this way. Lou Chang felt that he had lost again, Yu Qing's suggestion was much better than his, how could he get back a game?

Zhao Dan hesitated in his heart, he wanted to increase his troops and fight with Qin State, but he was also afraid that Lian Po would lose if he was useless, how could this be good, at this time, I saw Lou Chang squeezing his eyebrows at himself, and it seemed that he had something to say in person, and immediately said: "Let's get here today!" The widow was a little tired and wanted to rest. ”

Guo Kai and Zhao Mu can have fun with Zhao Dan, and they can't come up with any useful ideas in such military affairs, but these two guys are perfect at figuring out Zhao Dan's intentions, and seeing Lou Chang frowning at Zhao Dan, the two of them glanced at each other, and they both knew what to do.

Touching Long and Yu Qing went out of the palace together, and Touching Long wanted to use his own carriage to send Yu Qing back to his house, but Yu Qing had no choice but to share the car with Touch Long.

"Shangqing, if you send envoys to Wei and Chu to create the illusion of conspiracy, how sure is Shangqing that you can succeed?" Tentacle asked.

Yu Qing said: "Ten percent, as long as the king sends an envoy out, the Qin people will definitely think so, and the other countries will think that Zhao has the determination to compete with the Qin State, and will do their best to support it, after all, everyone has suffered the loss of the Qin State, and it is impossible to sit back and watch the Qin State become powerful. ”

Touching the dragon smiled: "Shangqing is really talented, but it's a pity that the king is afraid that he won't take Shangqing's suggestion!" ”

Yu Qing sighed, he didn't know that King Zhao was hesitating, and now King Zhao didn't seem to have the wisdom he had when he first saw it, and he was becoming more and more indecisive.

After Yu Qing returned to his mansion, he asked the servant to bring his treasured bamboo tube, which was a pair of straw sandals and a simple umbrella, which was the outfit he wore when he first met King Zhao, at that time he was really very depressed, and he had not eaten for two days, it was at that time that King Zhao found out something unusual about him from his words, and he also transferred, and within a hundred days, he was the secretary of Zhao State, and now it is unbelievable to think about it!

Yu Qing looked at the straw sandals and bamboo umbrella in a daze, and the servants on the side looked at him very suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Is the master going out?" ”

I'm afraid this is not his long-term residence! Yu Qing looked at the decayed straw sandals, looked at the dusty bamboo umbrella, and said quietly: "Perhaps, I should wait for him to come back before making a decision, it's a pity to leave Handan without seeing him." ”

Zhao Kuo chatted with Mao Sui for a long time, and gradually straightened out the problem of logistics supply for the Zhao army during the war, which was also something he urgently needed to plan.

Zhao Kuo kept Mao Sui for dinner, but Mao Sui was told by his close servants that King Zhao was summoning him, so he immediately left Macheng for Handan.

Zhao Kuo looked at Mao Sui's back and breathed a sigh of relief, he told Mao Sui when Mao Sui left, not to leak the news of his return within half a month, he wanted to use this half month to coordinate the logistics of Zhao Jun.

It seems that the only people who can contribute wholeheartedly are Bilu and Lu Buwei, and Zhao Kuo did not resent Guo Zong's failure to contribute, because Guo Zong is such a person, and he will not make a move if he doesn't see tangible benefits.

Zhao Kuo put aside these worries for the time being, got up and went to Zhao Ni's bedroom, he really wanted to see what the child he and Zhao Ni gave birth to, whether it was like him or more like Zhao Ni.
