Daijun, Daiwangcheng.

Dai Jun is very important to Zhao Guo. It is necessary not only to guard against the Xiongnu from the north, but also to resist the Yan State from the east, and the strategic role is prominent. It's just that in recent years, with the occupation of Zhongshan, the straight road from Daijun to Handan has connected this place more closely with the core of Zhao State, and Yan State has also been occupied by the Xiongnu more and more because of civil strife, and at the most serious time, it even reached outside the capital of Ji, but the Yan people are busy with civil strife, and they really can't take care of it.

Yan State is too busy, Zhao State has been free, since the Zhao army attacked the military capital, here has become the camp of Zhao State, and the military capital of the mountain has been north of the original Yan country, was occupied by the Xiongnu.

Le Yi took the opportunity to suggest that Zhao Yong should take advantage of the fact that the vitality of the Yan State had not recovered, and the Xiongnu had occupied the territory of the Yan State and would not return, and sent troops to occupy this place. First, although the land north of the military capital is mostly hilly and mountainous, the Xiongnu are most likely to threaten the northern frontier of Zhao when they go south to herd horses. Second, the terrain of this place is high, the mountains are distributed, and the military capital is really an important hole, in case Yan and Zhao turn against each other, then this place will become a golden hoop added by Zhao to the head of Yan State, and echo with Zhongshan County of Zhao State.

If the Yan army attacks Zhongshan County, then the army of the military capital will go south to Jidu, and if you want to attack the military capital, the Zhao army of Zhongshan County can cross the Yishui River and take the Yanxia capital directly, it can be said that the two capitals of Yan are under the front of the Zhao army, and the king of Yan will never dare to offend Zhao before he has absolute strength, and he does not even have the idea of making enemies with Zhao.

Zhao Yong knew that this was indeed a good opportunity, so he strengthened the military strength of Daijun, and transferred Li Zhuo to Daijun as the right lieutenant, and was fully responsible for the war against the Xiongnu. And the original Dai County guard Li Yan was transferred to Zhongshan County, staring at the capital of Yan State.

After several years of tempering, Li Zhuo is not the hairy boy at all, after marrying Zhuoka, he also has two children one after another, a boy and a girl, and it can be regarded as both children and daughters, however, Zhuoka has recently become pregnant again, and it is estimated that a child will be born at the end of the year.

As he matures, he is much more stable and mature, and his ability to command operations is also advancing rapidly. And following Zhao Yong's side, from the beginning of leading the troops, he learned from everyone like Le Yi, and he also stole teachers, and now he is in charge, and he is quite brave. Under his leadership, the Daijun cavalry trained in battle, and strengthened the combat capability of the Daijun cavalry by fighting against the Huns, so that the combat ability of the Daijun cavalry was rapidly improved.

With the Huns, a good gentleman, even the stupid cavalry made rapid progress. Therefore, although the Daijun cavalry was still not comparable to the well-equipped Baijin Battalion, the cavalry of the Zhao Wang's lineage, it was far superior to the cavalry units of other countries. However, in a few years, the Xiongnu were completely driven out of the occupied land of Yan, and the Daijun of Zhao was expanded to the east for more than 100 miles, leaving only a part of the plain near the sea.

Yan Guo saw that Zhao Guo's tentacles were stretched out so long, and he was naturally frightened day and night, and his threat was far greater than that of Qi in the south, but he still needed Zhao Guo's help sporadically, and although there were many virtuous ministers and celebrities who came to assist King Yan, he could not stabilize the country, so he could only rely on the previous team and Ji Ping, who was supported by Qi State, to continue the confrontation, and could not completely eliminate its power. King Yan asked Zhao several times to send troops to completely drive away the Qi people, but Zhao Yong did not agree.

The reason is not difficult to guess, whether it is Qi or Zhao, they do not want a strong Yan State to appear in their northeast, and now the division of Yan State between the north and the south is a wonderful balance in line with the interests of the two countries, so no matter who it is, they are not willing to break this balance, but are happy to see this situation.

Both Zhao Yong and King Qi knew that if anyone wanted to break this balance, it would be the moment when the soldiers of Qi and Zhao met each other. Qi is now after the Yan War, Qin Qi War, the vitality is a little injured, is dormant, Zhao is trying his best to take advantage of the peace after the Qin and Chu War, gather strength, consolidate their interests in Hedong and the status of the Three Kingdoms, so, the current situation of Yan State, is a tacit understanding between the two countries.

Since there was no major war in the Northeast within two or three years, but Hedong and the Central Plains had become important targets of Zhao, Li Zhuo's good days would come to an end.

Governor's Mansion.

Li Zhuo saw that the Handan envoy who came to give the order had gone away, and slowly stood up, opened the silk book in his hand, which wrote the order ordering him to return to Handan on a certain day, and also stamped the double seal of the White Tiger Hall and the Guowei Temple, and wrote the signatures of the people of the White Tiger Hall and the Guowei Lieutenants, which could not be faked. However, seeing an order is one, and thinking in one's heart is another.

Slowly back to the backyard, the eldest son is there with a stick, this is the most basic exercise, the little one is six or seven years old, after a year of study, it already looks like it, the little daughter is asleep in the small bamboo basket on the side, and the servants around him are watching over it.

Zhuoka, who already had a bit of a woman's charm, flashed a pair of big shining eyes, looking at his son learning martial arts there, looking contented. Indeed, for a former peasant woman, who has been displaced by the Hu people for so long, and now she has become the wife of a high-ranking official, and has a son and a daughter, what else does he have to pursue? This life must have been very complete. What's more, she still has a little guy in her belly, whether it's a man or a woman, it doesn't matter anymore.

Looking at such a tranquil scene, even bathed in the warm winter sun, Li Zhuo was a little bored, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Although all his energy was focused on the child, Zoka heard the sigh for the first time. She turned her head and saw her husband standing in the corridor, looking at the scene with a gloomy look in his eyes, so with the help of the servant, she stood up and walked to Li Zhuo's side.

"Lang Jun is done? I wonder what the king commands? ”

"Without him, he called me to return to Handan one day." Li Zhuo pretended to be casual and said casually.

Zhuoka has experienced so many things, and has stayed with Li Zhuo for so long, so he naturally knows that in the past few years, the family has been together, although Li Zhuo often leads troops outside, but he also gathers more and leaves less, and can often see each other. But this time back to Handan, I'm afraid there won't be many days like this.

As expected, Li Zhuo had just returned to Handan, and before he could settle in the city, he was summoned by Zhao Yong. Although Li Zhuo was ready to fight hard, he was also taken aback by Zhao Yong's eagerness, and had to put down Zhuoka and the others, who had not yet been properly settled, and followed the palace people who came to give the order to Longtai.

Entering the Hanyuan Palace, Li Zhuo was taken aback by the momentum inside, the five Qings of the White Tiger Palace, the six temples and the six Qings, plus a Pang Cong, and a middle-aged and unfamiliar middle-aged general beside Pang Cong, as well as Zhao Yong, the high-level military and political officials of Zhao State gathered together, such a scale, just to welcome him a right captain, he didn't believe it, it must be Zhao Yong and others who were deliberating, and when they heard that he came to Handan, they couldn't wait to summon him into the palace.

"Meet the King." Li Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Get up." Zhao Yong seemed to be in a good mood, "Although it is very hurried to call you, but in order to make up for the widow's mistake, the widow has already sent someone to arrange Zhuoka and her to a mansion." Now that someone is there to guide her, you don't have to worry. ”

"The king's gift, I dare not take it." Li Zhuo didn't expect that Zhao Yong had already arranged a place to live for himself, and while he was surprised, he was also a little guilty about his reluctance to come. Speaking of which, although Zhao Yong did not explicitly order him to return to Handan in a few days, he stayed for more than ten days before coming here, deliberately delaying for a while, but he didn't expect Zhao Yong to be harsh on this.

"Don't feel guilty yet, the widow has been waiting for you for so long, naturally there is a heavy responsibility entrusted to you, if you can't complete this matter, it's not too late to feel guilty."

"Yes."

Zhao Yong saw that the protagonists were coming, so he ordered other idlers to wait outside the hall to wait, and they were not allowed to enter without passing the word. Then he said to the people, "I have gathered you today for the purpose of the east side of the river. ”

Except for Li Zhuo, everyone had an expected expression, it seems that this matter, at least among the high-level officials of Zhao State, is no longer a secret, only the final confirmation, and Li Zhuo heard the news, his first thought was that I am afraid that his days in Handan are not numbered.

Li Zhuo's feeling is indeed very accurate, the reason why Zhao Yong convened the ministers to convene this meeting is to clearly tell everyone that in the next few days, Zhao Guo will tear up his face with Qin State.

"The land east of the river, the terrain is flat and the land is vast, which is very suitable for cavalry marching, but there is a large area of land in the Wei State in the middle, and if you want to send troops, you will inevitably bypass the large cities of the Wei State and alarm the Wei State."

"The main reason is that my Zhao country is along the Fenshui and Shushui coasts, there are no cities and towns, and the mobilization of the army is inconvenient, and only the leather prison near the Hushui, a tributary of Fenshui, can be used, and it is really impossible to surround Fenyin and Pishi without knowing it."

"This operation is a direct siege of the city, and there is less chance of field battles, most of which are siege operations, which is not what I am good at, but in order to avoid retaliation by the Qin State, it is impossible to drag it on for too long." Le Yi made the final decision, "So in this operation, the surprise attack tactics that our army relies on have been ineffective, and we must be quick and fast." ”

Everyone nodded yes, I have to say that the cavalry of Zhao State can be regarded as invincible in the world, but this siege tactic is not their strong point, let alone the opponent is the Qin people who are known for their fierceness and bravery.

"Therefore, the widow needs someone to help the widow hold the crossing of the Yellow River, neither allowing the Qin people to escape from here, nor allowing the other party to wait for the opportunity to cross the river." Zhao Yong's face turned pale, "The success or failure of this battle is in the hands of this person!" ”
