In the winter of the twenty-seventh year of the first century, Zhao State Handan.

Zhao Sheng, the king of Zhao Xiangpingyuan, handed over the documents at hand to King Zhao, and said: "Your Majesty, the land of Handan, Hengshan, Daijun, Julu, and Jibei has already made up 1.7 million stone autumn grains, which have been sent to Shangdang one after another. ”

"And it is the Taishou Li Mu who guards the three counties of Yanmen, Jiuyuan and Yunzhong, and he also dispatched half of the soldiers and horses to the Shangdang Changping camp of General Lian Po, and now Zhao Guo has already stationed 300,000 soldiers and horses in Shangdang County!"

Speaking of this number, Zhao Wang He was originally a monarch who was a monk in internal affairs, and after a little thought, he felt that the cost was innumerable, although the first king Hufu cavalry and archery had strengthened the military force of Zhao State, but if it were not for the war gains obtained by opening up territory everywhere, I am afraid that such a reckless military force would have dragged down Zhao State a long time ago.

If so, King Zhao also asked with a little anger: "Lian Po still hasn't moved?" ”

"Although there is no dispatch from Luoyang in this battle, but there are not a few soldiers and horses dispatched by Lao Qin, following Wang Di, Qin Shaojunzheng is Ling Huan Qi, Yang Duanhe and once again led 100,000 people to the party, and the total strength is almost the same as that of Zhao State...... "Zhao Sheng has always been good friends with Lian Po, and King Zhao asked like this, Zhao Sheng inevitably had the intention of exculpating Lian Po, but it was not too much, and he nodded to the current situation of the party in moderation: "General Lian Po led the army to attack the Qin army several times, but they were all in vain and damaged each other. ”

In this way, King Zhao only felt angry, the first king's father was poor in military force, that is, poor in military force, no matter how bad it is, it is also for Zhao to open up territory, and the war profits obtained are enough to make up for the deficit of Zhao State's military war.

But now that the soldiers and horses led by Lian Po are stationed in Shangdang County, the troops and material resources are not inferior to those of the former king's father, but they are not victorious at all, thinking about it, King Zhao can't help but complain a little.

After careful consideration, King Zhao finally asked: "Pingyuan Jun, how about the widow who wants to change the generals to deal with the Qin State?" ”

Pingyuan Jun's face was stunned, as if he thought that the rumors that had intensified in Handan City in the past two days should have reached the ears of King Zhao, and he replied at the moment: "Your Majesty, it is taboo to change generals before the battle!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wangcai's eyebrows were twisted together, and he looked at Zhao Sheng and said: "It's not that the widow is anxious for quick success, but that the widow is responsible for the grain and grass for the father of the first king, knowing that the soldiers and horses move, the consumption of grain and grass in one day is like the river and the sun, Zhao is not like Qin, the yield per mu of Henan in Qin can reach two crops a year, and the merchants of Zhao who went to Luoyang even inquired about the new South China Sea land of Qin, which is actually three crops a year!" ”

King Zhao grabbed the arm of Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng: "Hugh said that it is 1.7 million stone grain and grass, that is, there will be another million stone grain and grass, Pingyuan Jun, you and make it clear to the widow, how much can be left when it is transported to Shangdang County?" ”

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng replied truthfully: "Counting the consumption of grain transportation on the road, if it is transported to Shangdang County from all over the country, I am afraid that it will only be able to leave three or four percent, and at most it will not exceed fifty percent!" ”

Hearing this, King Zhao shook his head, knowing that the baggage matter was not the director of the Pingyuan Jun from the royal family, so he broke the point: "The widow has personally taken care of these baggage logistics matters, I am afraid that if it is transported to the Shangdang, let alone four or five percent, it is rare to say that thirty percent is rare, and it is only about twenty percent, but the Shangdang has an army of 300,000 people, and it can be consumed!" ”

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he knew that King Zhao's heart to change generals was not a matter of rising, but a premeditated plan, but he still interceded for Lian Po: "Lian is quite brave and loved, and he is ashamed of difficulties, and it is better to fight in the field, and it is enough to hold on." ”

King Zhao shook his head and said, "But the widowed Zhao State can't afford to defend it, so he can only win quickly!" ”

Zhao Sheng said again: "Didn't the king believe the words that have been circulating in Handan in the past few days, saying that the Qin State attaches great importance to Ma Fuzi and is afraid of him as an enemy, so he wants to replace Lian Po with Zhao Kuo?" ”

"There are a few doubts about this matter, originally planned to appoint General Li Mu as the commander and General Sima Shang as the general, but who could have expected that Lin Hu and Lou Fu in the north were gone, and Donghu was also annexed by the Yan State, but a Hun ran out, and hundreds of thousands of people who controlled the strings were watching the Central Plains, I am afraid that Li Mu and General Sima Shang would not be able to withdraw."

Zhao Wang Fangcai stood up and said: "At the moment, the generals who can be used are only Zhao Kuo, the son of the monarch!" ”

Zhao Sheng is good at raising guests, although he has no great talent, but he also has the wisdom of knowing people, listening to King Zhao say this, he also replied: "Zhao Kuo is skilled in the art of war, and he has been taught by Ma Fujun, but he is a perverse and arrogant person, and his mother has always known that the king cannot be reused. ”

King Zhao was already assertive in his heart, and said: "When the Luoshui Alliance was in the past, Qin Zhao was still on good terms, Qin Wangyan was the leader of the army who greatly appreciated Ma Fuzi, and now if you think about it carefully, you might as well look at the grandson of the old Qin, who was originally a small general, but he was recognized by Qin Wangyan's wisdom, and he has built a war exploit to destroy the enemy country, which shows that Qin Wangyan's vision as a master of the art of war is vicious!" ”

"Moreover, it is also the fault of the widow who has kept him by his side over the years, so that Zhao Kuo has lost a little actual combat experience...... "Zhao Kuo changed his words again: "But Zhao Kuo has stayed in Handan with the widow over the years, and there is no mistake in training soldiers and horses. ”

What King Zhao said was the Tao, reasonable and orderly, but Zhao Sheng only felt that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't come up with any powerful rebuttal for a while, so he had to excuse himself: "After all, sixty percent of the soldiers and horses of Zhao State are now gathered in Shangdang County, which is related to the rise and fall of Zhao State. ”

"The minister suggested, the king is still Ling Lian Po as a general, and Zhao Kuo is now training 80,000 Handan new troops, but he might as well make Zhao Kuo a general and lead these 80,000 Handan new monarchs to Shangdang County to fight freely, although Shangdang County has gathered six or seven hundred thousand soldiers and horses of Qin and Zhao, but it is impossible to say that these 80,000 new monarchs are used properly by Ma Fuzi, and they can also turn the tide of the war."

King Zhao was obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Sheng's suggestion, but he would not lose Zhao Sheng's face, but said: "No matter what, it seems that Lian Po's style of play is not advisable, and the edict will be passed on alone, so that Lian Po can win quickly, as for whether to use the horse to serve Zhao Kuo, the widow is of course blinded by ears and eyes, but the day after tomorrow, the court will discuss the matter by the Zhuqing, and the court will discuss it by Ma Fuzi If he is the commander of the strategy of cutting Qin, if Pingyuan Jun has any objections, he will refute Zhao Kuo's unavailability on the spot!" ”

When Zhao Sheng heard this, his heart was also full of bitterness, and his heart said that Zhao Kuo's sharp words are indeed incomparable, and it is the attainment of the art of war that even the generals in the army are difficult to match.

Faintly, Zhao Sheng seemed to have a premonition of something, but he couldn't refute it, so he secretly planned to send someone to inform Lian Po immediately after retreating, change his stubborn posture, and take the initiative to attack the Qin army, so that King Zhao's heart should not let Zhao Kuo be the master, so that it would not be in vain to entrust himself before Ma Fujun died.
