Chapter 159: Zhao Houyong

The temptation initiated by the Qin State in the west failed completely, and the Wei and Qi states in the east did not stop moving at all!

In the Wei capital of Liang, Gongsun Yan personally took 10,000 Wei troops, followed the Wei army envoys, and began to go north to Zhao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Passing through Puyang, the capital of the Wei State, the rhino head sent an envoy to see Wei Jun and said: "Wei Guo, as a vassal state of Wei, I personally led a large army to attack Zhao, passing through your country, and your country did not even come to offer condolences to a single envoy?" Could it be that your country thinks that our Wei State has treated the country badly and failed to defend the country? If so, when I return from the north, we will transfer our troops to the Patriotic City and destroy the Patriotic Nation!" ”

This action scared Wei Jun a lot at once! Since Wei Guo became a vassal of Wei, he has completed the "demilitarization", who would have thought that Wei would not let it go! So Wei Jun hurriedly prepared 300 pieces of slow belt and 300 pieces of gold, and prepared to send an envoy to the Wei army camp to ask Gongsun Yan for his guilt!

When Nan Wenzi, the Minister of Defense, heard about it, he immediately stopped Wei Jun and said to him: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this! This time Gongsun Yan went to the north to attack Zhao, and if he won, he didn't dare to come; If he doesn't win, he doesn't dare to come, so why bother with him? ”

Wei Jun was a little strange and asked, "What do you mean by Wenzi's words?" ”

Nan Wenzi replied: "The reason is very simple! If Gongsun Yan can win the attack on Zhao, then he will achieve a lot of merit, a good reputation, and will take credit and despise his colleagues. The ministers of the kingdom will resent his pride and slander his deeds. With an excellent reputation and the credit for his achievements, but waiting for the criticism of the people in the country, no matter how stupid Gongsun Yan is, he will definitely not do this. If he can't win in Zhao this time, he will flee back to Wei with fear, and he will be worried that he will inevitably be punished when he returns home! How dare he aggravate the sin of not defeating the Zhao State?"

As soon as Wei Jun heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he ignored Gongsun Yan and made Gongsun Yan angry!

Gongsun Yan didn't expect that with his skills, even a small Weiguo would not be able to blackmail! It seems that the world is really full of talents, and he should be more careful, he thought silently in his heart.

With this depressed mood, he continued to go north with the Wei envoy, and then joined forces with the army of Qi in Guanze.

This time, the king of Qi still sent Kuang Zhang to lead the army to fight, and the armies of the two countries had the confidence to immediately send troops north, directly to the city of Huangcheng of Zhao State.

Huangcheng was originally the city of Wei, when Zhao Su waited, this city was occupied by Zhao, and now the armies of Wei and Qi besieged Huangcheng, Zhao simply gave up this city and retreated to the other side of the river.

The two armies were so smooth in their testing this time, and they did not expect it. In their opinion, since Zhao Guo is so weak, it is very good to cross the river in one go, and directly enter Zhao Guo like this!

However, something unexpected happened to them, although the Zhao army gave up Huangcheng, the Zhao army on the other side of the river did not decrease at all, but began to increase more and more.

Under the detection of the spies of the two countries, they even found the banner of Zhao Hou in it! This means that the young monarch of Zhao State began to rush to the front line to participate in the war in person!

Among the countries in the world, the monarch of Zhao inherited the blood of Zhao and liked to go to the battlefield in person to participate in the war! They are not just like the great battles of Qi and Chu and Xuzhou, they are just the king pressing the formation in front of the formation, but they use the monarch as a general!

Whether it is Zhao Yong's father Zhao Suhou, or Zhao Yong's grandfather Zhao Chenghou, they are all ruthless characters who can go to the battlefield to cut people in person! Only with this kind of bloodiness, Zhao Guo can make Zhao State still maintain the identity of a great power when Wei State dominates the world!

Now Zhao Yong has also inherited this tradition and began to personally lead the army to participate in the war!

For the monarch, and even the emperor of later generations, personally participated in the war, people often said that the son of a daughter could not sit down. I feel that it would be good for such a high-status commander to sit in the center and strategize, and there is no need to go to the battlefield to participate in the war in person!

However, these people will never understand a truth: people's hearts are flesh and blood, and without the king's personal example, will the soldiers be stupid to work for you?

Zhao Guo definitely understands this truth, so when Zhao Yong personally led the army to the front line, the entire Zhao army camp was boiling, and the morale was extremely high! In today's era of cold weapons, morale is the most important thing in the army, and it can be said that it even determines the strength of the army!

Gongsun Yan and Kuang Zhang looked at the crazy Zhao Jun on the other side of the river, and they couldn't speak in their hearts, Zhao Guo has such a crazy monarch again, I am afraid that Zhao Guo will be difficult to deal with in the next few decades, both of them are thinking there.

At this moment, Zhao Yong sent an envoy to the front of the two armies and said to Gongsun Yan and Kuang Zhang: "Huangcheng was originally the territory of Wei, and now my Zhao State will return it to you, which can be regarded as the sincerity of my Zhao State willing to reconcile with the two countries." If the two countries are willing to accept Zhao's goodwill, then the envoys can go to Handan to pay their respects to Zhao, but the armies of the two countries must stop on the banks of the great river! If the armies of the two countries dare to cross the river and take a step forward, Zhao will definitely fight back with the strength of the whole country! ”

Zhao Guo's move is not for no reason, in the eyes of Zhao Guo's high-level officials, since it is a defensive war, then the stronghold Huangcheng left on the south bank of the Great River is a piece of chicken ribs, so simply throw it to Wei State as a bargaining chip!

And Zhao Guo's strong statement made Gongsun Yan and Kuang Zhang look at each other a little, but they also knew that at such a point, it would be a bit more than worth the loss to take the initiative to attack Zhao Guo's mainland. Now that he has obtained Huangcheng, he also responded to Zhang Yi's previous strategy: try the strength of Zhao on the border of Zhao State, and if you can seize a city, it will be a city.

The most important thing is that there is no definite news from the Qin State now. The Three Kingdoms are very clear that if they want to really seek Zhao, they must make a gap in the east and west directions, so that Zhao cannot take care of both ends! Now that Zhao Guo has placed the main force of the army in the east, then now they can only wait silently for the news from the Qin State, and both of them are thinking about it in their hearts.

So Gongsun Yan and Kuang Zhang let the envoys of the two countries enter the Zhao State, and followed Zhao Yong to Handan City to attend Zhao Suhou's funeral.

And the armies of Qi and Wei and Zhao faced each other across the river for more than half a month, before they got the exact news from Qin: the 10,000 Qin troops led by Gongzi Hua of Qin were wiped out on the border of Zhao, and the Zhao army pulled out the two cities of Qin!

Such news shocked Gongsun Yan and Kuang Zhang directly!

What is the strength of Qin Jun, the two of them can be regarded as the people who know the most in the world! Gongsun Yan didn't say anything, he personally led the army of Qin to win the battle of Hexi and beheaded 80,000 Wei troops! He knows the militaristic system of the Qin State and knows how strong the Qin army that came out of this system is!

And Kuang Zhang was also the only person in Qi who fought against the Qin army, although he defeated the Qin army, but he became more and more jealous of the Qin army! Because he knew that the Qin army was fighting in the Qi country, thousands of miles away from the Qin country, and it could still defeat the vanguard of the Qi army! Even if the Qi army relied on the superiority of troops and used conspiracy to defeat the Qin army, it would only be a crushing victory!

And Gongzi Hua, the general of the Qin army, although Kuang Zhang defeated him, he also admired his bravery and strategy. With such an outstanding talent, leading a powerful Qin army, how powerful would it take to be defeated and annihilated? Could it be that he fell into an ambush of 100,000 Zhao troops? But it is clear that the main forces of the Zhao army are concentrated in the east!

They immediately inquired about the details of the battle, and then more detailed news of the battle of Qin and Zhao Lishi began to be conveyed, and it was the sister of the current Zhao Hou, Zhao Xue, the princess of Zhao State, who defeated the Qin army. She did not use an absolutely superior force to ambush the Qin army as everyone guessed, but led more than 3,000 troops on horseback to meet it head-on, and completely defeated the Qin army!

Winning more with less, and being able to fight a war of annihilation, this is simply against everyone's military common sense!

After the Battle of Lishi, the Qin State, such a country of tigers and wolves that only wanted to take advantage and never refused to suffer, actually endured this breath like this, which really surprised all countries!

The Qin State remained silent, and the Wei State and the Qi State did not dare to touch the tiger whiskers of the Zhao State at this time, so the two countries also swallowed this breath! When the envoys of the two countries returned to Huangcheng after attending the funeral of Zhao Hou, Gongsun Yan and Kuang Zhang had already negotiated the ownership of Huangcheng, and the two led their respective armies back to China.

And when Gongsun Yan passed through Weiguo, he really didn't have the heart to find trouble for Weiguo.

A month later, when Zhao held the official enthronement ceremony of Zhao Hou, the various countries were no longer perfunctory as they had been before by simply sending an envoy to attend the funeral. The State of Qin sent the chief to win the disease, the State of Qi sent the Jingguo Jun Tianying to go, and the State of Wei sent the crown prince to the State of Zhao in person, and the willingness of the countries to form a friendship with the State of Zhao became extremely strong for a while!

Even South Korea proposed to Zhao Guo afterwards to respect Zhao Hou as the king of Zhao, but Zhao Yong unceremoniously refused. He said directly: Zhao Guo does not have the strength to be king, so he will not be king for the time being!

Being able to withstand the temptation to become king has once again attracted the attention of all countries. As a result, the name of Zhao Houyong spread all over the world, and all countries did not dare to find trouble with Zhao!
