Chapter 21: The White Tiger Lobby

Vaguely, Li Dui felt that someone seemed to be shaking him. The coma caused by excessive blood loss and hunger hit him, and he didn't want to open his eyes. However, the other party obviously did not intend to give up, and the shaking became more and more severe, and he vaguely heard someone say: "Master, the injury on his leg is too serious." ”

"How's the people? Still alive? A cold voice said.

Then, as if he had put something on his nose, he leaned down and said, "If you are angry, time must be running out." ”

"Hmm." The cold business said, "Take him back, save him if he can't save it, forget it." ”

"Okay."

Immediately after, Li Dui felt someone manipulating his body. But he knew very well that if he left like this, Su Qin would not be able to find himself when he came back. In any case, you have to leave him a message. He struggled, trying to wake himself up, even if it was a word.

However, he was still too tired to wake up no matter how hard he tried. I can only rely on the feeling of my body, knowing that I was rescued and put in a carriage, and the squeaking sound of the wheels can't hide the noisy voices on both sides, now, where am I?

The next day, as soon as the day dawned, Li Zhuo got up early in the morning, packed up, set off from the post house, rode on his horse and walked to the royal city, passed through the palace of the outer court, walked through the square of the Zhichao, and under the dragon platform, handed his own jade gui, stood under the steps, like other people waiting to be received, waiting for Zhao Yong's summons.

However, it seems that Zhao Yong is very busy today, the people around him left one by one, came back one by one, and a few people just arrived, and then handed over his Bai Gui, so that the eunuchs could pass it, and it had been more than an hour, but he was the only one who did not see himself. Li Zhuo was a little looking forward to it at first, but slowly, he became a little irritable. Wandering around the square for a while, thinking back to yesterday's conversation with Crane Guanzi at Lian Wu's house, but his knowledge has increased greatly.

If you say, with your original knowledge, you may become a general at most, because your vision is too low. However, yesterday, Que Guanzi told Li Zhuo what it means to have an overall vision and how to become a commander. To put it simply, the general is at most a leader who charges into battle, and their vision and pattern determine that they can only be outstanding in some aspects. The commander-in-chief has a stronger sense of purpose, whether they attack, retreat, ambush, or sneak attack, all of which are made in order to achieve the overall goal, and the so-called "regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place, and focus on the change of the overall balance of forces on both sides" is the simplest image portrayal of a commander.

Next, Que Guanzi also helped Li Zhuo analyze his previous actions in Daijun. Although it is said that from a local point of view, Li Zhuo moved through the combination of forces, first went out to defend, created the depth of the attack, and won greater preparation time for the rear to attack, but if it were not for the fact that Lou was too light on the enemy, and because he relied on the heavy strength of his troops, and chose an incompetent left-wing army, it was only because Li Yan could have rushed to the aid of Miao'er Liang in a roundabout way even if there was a gap in the pre-war research and judgment, otherwise, if it was under the same conditions, Li Zhuo might have lost Miao'er Liang a long time ago, and even if he could hold it in the end, he would definitely run out of ammunition and food.

That's why Que Guanzi said that with Li Zhuo's current ability, it may be possible to command a team of 1,000 people, but he really wants to be alone, and there is still a long way to go.

After Li Zhuo heard this, he was really shocked and frightened, thinking that his most proud record was not worth it at all in the eyes of the masters. I swore in my heart that if I could stay in Handan, I would definitely ask for advice from Crane Guanzi.

"Pass on Li Zhuo!" Just as he was thinking about it, a melodious voice came from above the dragon platform. Li Zhuo was slightly stunned, knowing that it was his turn this time, he tidied up his clothes, followed the eunuch who had already walked in front of him, and walked towards the main hall of Longtai.

However, after a few people walked to the main hall, the eunuch continued to take him to the side hall, which made Li Zhuo very strange, didn't he say that the main hall of Longtai was the place where Zhao Yong received the minister? Of course, he had only heard of these things, and now he was a little confused, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he lowered his head and followed the eunuch to the side hall.

As soon as he entered the side hall, Li Zhuo felt the difference, compared to other places, it was full of solemn atmosphere, whether it was the weapons hanging on both sides, or a large unknown thing in the middle, there were not only many ravines on it, but also many bulging parts, and a few bamboo pieces enclosed in space, marked with the name "Handan". Li Zhuo's eyes moved, and when he looked north, he found the name of "Daiwangcheng". Take a closer look, there are still Lou Fu, as well as Lingshou, and even some important towns around Zhao Kingdom, all of which are clearly marked.

This turned out to be a miniature version of the topography map of Zhao Kingdom! Standing here, Li Zhuo could even see the whole picture of Zhao Guo clearly.

Li Zhuo looked at this thing called the sand table without hearing it, and there were several people in the main hall who were also standing next to the sand table and discussing.

"So, Zhongshan withdrew from Shancheng this time, there shouldn't be any conspiracy?" Zhao Yong looked at Wu Guang beside him, as a national lieutenant, a lot of military intelligence was transmitted by him, so a lot of analysis was also carried out by him.

"As I said before, because of the border between Chen and Zhongshan in the Qi State, it is obvious that it is because the Qi State is angry with Zhongshan and wants to be the king. Therefore, the important pass was closed, and the Zhongshan people were not allowed to pass with it, and at the same time, the Qi general Kuangzhang was transferred to sit on the border. In any case, it's not like a joke. Wu Guang analyzed.

"So, do you think that the matter of Qi inviting our country to send troops to Zhongshan is reliable?" Zhao Yong glanced at Fei Yi and Zhao Bao next to him, because this matter is more important today, so the three people in the political hall were all called over. Zhao Yong still has to rely on the experience of these old guys in these things.

"According to the analysis of the captain just now, I thought that the Qi State was determined to send troops to Zhongshan this time. It is this time that we are invited to send troops together with Yan to crusade against Zhongshan, which must be sincere. Zhao Bao took the lead and said, "What's more, compared to the Yan State and the Qi State, Zhongshan poses a greater threat to me. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yong nodded, looked at the city on the sand table, and then looked at Pingyi, Gaotang and Guanjin, and hesitated. Although in his original plan, it was Qi Guo who had a grudge against Zhongshan, but it turned out that the people of Qi were really a scene, so they directly gave him a crusade against Zhongshan, and invited himself to go. Knowing that Zhongshan is a big trouble for Zhao Guo, and he still uses this piece of fat to seduce himself, Qi Guo's abacus is really loud. Don't send troops, the opportunity is rare, send troops, Qi has always been not very firm in its political views, although it is very strong, but it is temporarily limited to closing the passes, Chen Bing's borders, whether it can be fought or not, two said. In case of a fight on his side, the Qi State withdraws its troops, which will be a fool.

Qi Guo has never been a very good comrade-in-arms.

"Even so, we also have to consider the choice of Qi Guo." Fei Yi said slowly, "Although the Qi country is huge, in my opinion, there is nothing substantial, that is to say, the Qi country does not send troops, and we will wait and see what it will become." ”

"But in this way, we have made so many preparations in the early stage, on the one hand, we sent people to provoke the relationship between Qi and Zhongshan, and on the other hand, we let Gongsun Yan instigate Zhongshan to become king, wouldn't it all be in vain? Doesn't it make any sense at all? Wu Guang shook his head and said, he questioned Fei Yi's idea.

"Even so, it is unthinkable. If Qi doesn't send troops, you and I can't do anything. In fact, we all just wanted to provoke the relationship between Qi and Zhongshan, so that Zhongshan was isolated and helpless, but now it seems that the goal has been achieved, as for whether or not we can expand the territory, it is just an additional condition. It seems that Fei Yi is still against sending troops.

"We all seem to have paid too much attention to Qi Guo's attitude and forgotten Zhongshan's opinion." Zhao Yong said to the three henchmen: "Zhongshan Gong is not fuel-efficient, and Sima Cheng is not easy to match. Seeing that Qi is preparing to deal with himself, it is inevitable that he will not make some moves, but my country's intelligence collection in Zhongshan is too poor, otherwise, I must have heard some news from Zhongshan. "From the present, Zhao Yong is very yearning for intelligence collection in modern warfare, but this is the pre-Qin period, there are no satellites, no telephones, and there are relatively few means of intelligence gathering, so it is almost impossible to fight a large-depth operation in modern warfare. Therefore, he had to deal with problems with the conditions of the pre-Qin people, but the scientific way of thinking from modern times did not affect his unique perspective on things.

"Do you think that at this time, Zhongshan Kingdom will still be king?" Fei Yi reacted immediately.

"Yes, as far as I expected, Zhongshan will definitely not give up this opportunity to become king. They must have a way to save themselves, but we don't know. Zhao Yong said with a frown. It would be nice to have spy satellites, and it would be nice to have AWACS. There is no need to speculate on the other party's mind so much.

"Why is your lord so sure?" Wu Guang was a little surprised, could it be that the king had secretly established an intelligence gathering channel that he didn't even know? If so, then you have to be careful. Although he won't rebel, it doesn't mean that the king doesn't mean to target him!

"First, the tenacity of the people of Zhongshan Country, as far as you and I can see, is no longer extraordinary. There are naturally reasons why its country can crisscross between our Zhao State, Qi State and Yan State. Yes, this is something we cannot ignore. ”

"Second, if you can capture Zhongshan, the one who will benefit the most is not the Qi State, nor the Yan State, but my Zhao State." As he spoke, he picked up his baton, pointed to the land of Zhongshan and continued, "If Zhongshan is captured, my Zhao State will rely on the Taihang Mountains and hold the Taihang Eight Paths, then you can resist Qi in the east and defend Yan in the north." Qi Guo will definitely not give such a good thing to us after making a big move. Zhao Yong paused and sighed, "King Qi Wei is a generation of heroes, although he is old, he will not make such a mistake. ”

Qi sent news that Mr. Nan Guo had infiltrated Tian Piyi's mansion and became a member of his huge flute blowing team, so he learned a lot of unknown news. For example, he was the first to reveal the matter of sending Kuang Zhang to send troops this time, but he did not move, and Wen Ji and the forces behind her also confirmed it to ensure the correctness of the news, so this old British lord still maintained his absolute control over the Qi country.

When everyone heard Zhao Yong's explanation, they couldn't help but nod in their hearts, because no matter what, they would definitely not be able to stir up the wind and rain this time.

"So, we'll just have to wait and see?" Wu Guangxin said unwillingly. Seeing the opportunity to weaken Zhongshan slip away from his eyes, he was really unwilling. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"Not necessarily!"

Just when everyone was already desperate, a clear answer made several people's eyes light up, and they all looked at the source of the voice.

There, Li Zhuo bent his knees, knelt down, and said to Zhao Yong in front of the sand table: "Minister Li Zhuo pays a visit to the king." The minister has a strategy, or he can let Zhao Guo sit back and enjoy the success, but it is not known. ”
