Chapter 181: Daijun Zhao Fan
On behalf of the county Taishou Mansion, Zhang Gao hurriedly walked over with Hao Zhi and others, and saw Zhao Fan sitting on the main seat pondering and hurriedly bowed: "Third son." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What is the situation in Handan?" Zhao Fan heard the voice and looked at Zhang Gao, Hao Zhi and the others to ask.
Zhang Gao paused slightly to organize a sentence in his heart, and then looked at Zhao Fan and explained: "The king has died, and Shen Tu is ambushed." The second son secretly dispatched 200,000 Anyang troops to storm Handan, and the old slave discussed with General Hao when he left, and burned the second son's grain and grass. On the way back, he learned that the second son had fled. 200,000 Anyang soldiers were killed in battle, and the defenders of Handan and the forbidden army suffered heavy losses."
"The monarch and the ministers have estimated that there will definitely not be more than 150,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of the prince at this time. It is better for the king to take this opportunity to go south and seize the throne in one fell swoop." Hao Zhi proposed to Zhao Wei that Handan was almost broken, how could he stop the 400,000 army of the king with only 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Zhao Fan's eyes wandered, obviously his heart was extremely uncalm, but it was difficult to make a decision for a while.
The middle-aged man standing beside Zhao Fan, dressed as a strategist, hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "The monarch must not be, although the monarch has already controlled the 300,000 defenders and 100,000 private soldiers of Daijun, but after all, the time is still short." In addition to the Zhongshan country in the south and Lou Fu in the north. Once the monarch goes south in a big way, and goes straight to Xindu and Handan, I am afraid that in the blink of an eye, Daijun will be owned by others."
"Now Handan City is ruined, and the prince has insufficient troops. This is the best time for Childe to seize the throne, can he just watch the opportunity slip away." Zhang Gao couldn't help but interject and persuade.
Zhao Fan's brows gradually rose, and he looked at the strategist: "Mr.'s words are reasonable, but I don't know if Mr. has thought about it." Once Zhao Yu sits on the throne, how can this monarch compete with the power of a country with the power of a county."
"Have you forgotten that Wei attacked Handan, and the king ransomed Handan? Even if the crown prince sits firmly on the throne, what can he do? How can I expand my troops without savings? If there are no soldiers and horses, how can they compete with the king who has an army of 400,000 in his hands, sits on the county of Daijun, and has enough soldiers and food." Strategist Shen Chuan asked rhetorically at Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan pondered again, and after a long while, his brows still did not loosen: "Although this is the case, if you don't go south for a long time, I'm afraid that Zhao Yu will persuade the clan to compete with this monarch."
"The prince didn't know that before the king died, he had to kill the fourth prince. The princes of the princes waved their troops into the palace, and the king made an appointment with them and asked them to strictly abide by the ancestral precepts, so that the prince was given the right to supervise the country. As a result, the second prince felt the crisis and began to secretly dispatch Anyang's troops to attack Handan. If the fourth prince ascends to the throne, the princess may make a move. But now it is the crown prince who has ascended the throne, for the princes. Whether it is the crown prince or the fourth prince, what is the difference? “。 Zhang Gao slowly explained to Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan's brows gradually relaxed, and his eyes looked around everyone: "The current situation of the Yigong clan is indeed the case, but this monarch can't be unguarded."
"Why be deliberately wary, the princes of the clan are divided into various places, and it will take a certain amount of time to gather together. In addition, the crown prince and the prince do not have much to do with the princess, and it will take more time to convince them. As long as the king goes south in a big way during this time, he will not be afraid. Once the king breaks through Handan and seizes the throne, those princes will have to recognize the king as the king." Shen Chuan analyzed at Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan looked at Shen Chuan with some doubts: "Didn't Mr. just say that it is not appropriate to go south quickly, but why did you say that you should go south at this time."
"The minister only said that it was not advisable to go south quickly, but did not say that he could not go south? Over the years, the king secretly transported materials to Lou Fu and Zhongshan countries, and befriended the powerful people of the two countries for many years. Why not negotiate and form an alliance through them? “。 Shen Chuan obviously had a plan and proposed to Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan seemed to think of something, and slowly shook his head: "The Lou Fu clan is a Hu people, and this monarch transports materials to make friends with Lou Fu magnates only for information, and if it is an alliance, I am afraid that it will not be credible." It's Jixi, the king of Zhongshan, who is a person who can be deeply acquainted."
"You don't know ...... something". Shen Chuan continued to explain to Zhao Yan.
At this time, footsteps sounded, and a soldier walked in and saluted respectfully to Zhao Wei: "Your Excellency, the envoy of Zhongshan asks to see you."
"Zhongshan envoy?". Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, and reacted instantly: "Hurry up, please."
"Yes". The soldier bowed down and walked outside.
An old man walked in slowly and saluted Zhao Wei: "I have seen the third son of the first king of Zhao Guo, Dai Yunjun."
"I don't know that Xiangguo is coming, Zhao Fan has lost the distance and hopes that Xiangguo will forgive his sins." Zhao Fan saw the person who came clearly, was shocked in his heart, and instantly rejoiced, and hurriedly stood up and walked towards the Zhongshan Country and Xiangguo Music Pool.
Le Chi smiled at Zhao Fan: "I heard that the first king of your country died and the crown prince ascended the throne." My king specially ordered foreign ministers to visit Dai Yunjun."
"There is the king of Laoshan who cares". Zhao Fan didn't ask about the purpose of the orchestra pit, but just replied politely.
Le Chi obviously expected Zhao Fan's reaction a long time ago, and pointed in the direction of Handan: "When the foreign minister came, my king specially ordered the foreign minister to ask Dai Yunjun, I don't know if he is interested in this time."
"How's that intention? What if you don't have the intention". Zhao Fan asked rhetorically at the orchestra pit.
Le Chi smiled meaningfully: "If Dai Yunjun is interested, my king is willing to form an alliance, if Dai Yunjun is unintentional, my king is willing to form an alliance with Lou Fu and carve up Dai County while Zhao is weak."
"You dare". Without waiting for Zhao Wei to speak, Hao Zhi angrily scolded the orchestra pit.
Le Chi didn't say anything, just glanced at Hao Zhi coldly, and then looked at Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan thought for a little and his heart beat violently, and he couldn't tell whether it was anger or excitement: "What is the price."
"If it is an alliance, my king will need Panwu, houses, and other lands." Orchestra Chi said the conditions of Zhongshan without thinking.
Zhao Fan glanced at the orchestra pit, as if there was an endless killing intent spreading: "Ji likes to have a big appetite, don't you know that these places are the anointed places in the heart of my Zhao Kingdom."
"For enemies and friends, they are all on behalf of Yunjun, and they are all in the middle of a thought." As if he didn't feel the threat of Zhao Fan, Le Chi added another sentence at the end: "According to my country's eyeliner report in Handan, this time Zhao Yu ascended the throne, and at the same time sent envoys to Lin Hu and Lou Fu."
"Lin Hu and Lou Fu". Zhao Fan seemed to have been hit hard, and the fierce light appeared. Zhao Yu deceived people too much, and invited foreign envoys here, is it to unite foreign races to strangle this monarch in one fell swoop?
The orchestra pit didn't speak, just watched Zhao Fan's face keep changing.
After a while, Zhao Fan slowly spit out two words, but he seemed to have lost all his strength: "Alliance".
"Okay, the foreign minister will go back and return to my king." The orchestra pit was overjoyed, saluted Zhao Fan, and then turned around.
Looking at the back of the departing orchestra pool, the killing intent in Zhao Fan's eyes was undisguised: "Zhongshan Kingdom actually dares to take advantage of the fire to rob, sooner or later this monarch will let you spit out all the food you eat."
"Your Majesty, it seems that the situation is more complicated than we thought." Shen Chuan's brows gradually tightened, still thinking about the news brought by the orchestra pit.
Zhao Fan slowly walked to the main seat, spread out the map on the desk, and his eyes fell on Lou Fu and Lin Hu: "It seems that it is not enough to have Zhongshan Kingdom, the strength of this monarch is obviously greater than Zhao Yu, but I don't know why I am so constrained."
"Lin Hu and my Dai County are not connected, we are not afraid of Lin Hu soldiers. But I was afraid that Zhao Yu would move Lin Hu, so that Lou Fu would go south without worries. When the time comes, we are afraid that we will face a fierce battle." Shen Chuan slowly explained to Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan slammed into the Lou Fu area on the map: "Damn Lou Fu, when this monarch ascends the throne, he will destroy them."
"Since Childe is afraid of Lou annoying the south of Daijun, why didn't Childe send people to find out the news. If these assumptions are not true, it will be a waste of this great opportunity." Zhang Gaojiu was in the palace, and he couldn't interject at all about what they were talking about. At this time, they were embarrassed and took the opportunity to prompt.
Zhao Fan looked at Zhang Gao, and then looked at Shen Chuan: "Zhang Gao's words are reasonable, and please ask Mr. to let our people in Lou Fu pay close attention to the affairs of Lou Fu's court, and analyze the possibility of Lou Fu's efforts to go south."
"I'm afraid it's not enough to just have news within the Lou Fu clan." Shen Chuan nodded, then shook his head again.
Zhao Fan was a little puzzled and was about to ask when footsteps sounded.
A soldier walked in and bowed to Zhao Fan: "There is a messenger from Handan holding the will of the king."
"The King?". A sneer flashed at the corner of Zhao Fan's mouth.
Zhang Gao was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Fan: "Does the old slave need to avoid it?"
"Avoidance? Don't say it's an envoy, even if Zhao Yu comes in person, why should you avoid it." After Zhao Fan finished speaking, he commanded the soldiers: "Let the messenger come in."
"Yes". The soldier bowed down and turned to walk out.
A eunuch came slowly with a decree in his hand and a few soldiers. looked around, saw Zhang Gao stunned, and subconsciously wanted to salute. But he immediately reacted, and turned to Zhao Fan: "See Dai Yunjun, the king ascended the throne, and all Dai Yunjun is invited to return to Handan to worship."
"Worship?". There was indescribable sarcasm in Zhao Fan's tone.
The eunuch immediately came to his senses and said respectfully to Zhao Fan: "The king explained that Daijun is located on the northern border and cannot be guarded by no one. If Dai Yunjun is entangled in trivial matters, he can send an envoy to replace Yunjun and go to worship."
"The messenger came from afar, presumably all the way. It's better to go down and repair it first, and it won't be too late to reply after this gentleman has finished discussing government affairs." Zhao Fan didn't want to talk to the envoy too much, so he let him leave directly.
How could the eunuch not know what Zhao Fan meant, and immediately saluted again: "Respect the order of Yunjun."
As soon as the words fell, the eunuch turned and walked out.
Watching the eunuch walk away, Shen Chuan's heart suddenly moved: "Your Excellency, it is better to let the ministers go to Handan once for the monarch."
"The army is about to start, is it a little inappropriate for Mr. to go to Handan at this time." Zhao Fan listened to Shen Chuan's proposal, and was suddenly startled when he heard it, and hurriedly persuaded him.
Shen Chuan's heart warmed, and he explained to Zhao Fan: "If you don't go to Handan, how will you know, whether Lou Fu will go south, and how will you know what the situation outside is."
"That being said, it's ......". Zhao Fan continued to persuade him.
Shen Chuan directly interrupted Zhao Fan's words: "I don't know if Lou Fu will go south with all his strength one day, and the king will not be able to attack Handan with all his strength one day." Since the envoys of various countries are about to gather in Handan, why doesn't the king send his ministers to Handan to muddy the waters, there may be unexpected benefits."
"Since Mr. insists on this, then I will leave this matter to Mr. Please. The affairs of Handan are carte blanche sir, if there is danger in the city of Handan. Please also come back quickly, without hesitation." is familiar with Shen Chuan's character, and knows that it is unintentional to persuade him, so Zhao Fan can only agree.
Shen Chuan saluted respectfully: "Respectfully obey the order of the king."
