Chapter 924: Looking at the Time Change of the Central Plains
Zhao Ying was not naïve, thinking that Qingji would agree to Zhao Guo's request for peace.
For the state of Wu, if the state of Zhao can be destroyed in one battle, why not?
Zhao is not without soldiers to fight.
At least, in Handan, the crown prince Bolu also led forty or fifty thousand Zhao troops to confront the Wu army.
said that it was a confrontation, but in fact, Handan's Zhao army was surrounded by more than 100,000 Wu troops led by Tian Sui Tho from the beginning.
Not a single battle!
Bolu's task is only to contain the Wu army on the Eastern Front, so the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army under his command is not strong at all, and it is not easy to preserve its strength.
"Newspaper—"
Just when the court of Zhao fell into silence again, a guard hurriedly came in and said to Zhao Ying, "Monarch! The scout is coming!"
"The former division of the Wu army is less than thirty miles away from Jinyang City!"
"Revisit!"
"No!"
After the guards retreated, the ministers and doctors of Zhao State couldn't help but be in an uproar and felt shocked.
I didn't expect Wu Jun to come so quickly.
It was really fast, and he didn't intend to give Zhao Jun in Jinyang any chance to react.
At this time, the ministers who thought that the general trend had gone, and the selfish ministers knelt down one after another.
"Monarch, don't do anything. If the king of Wu takes the initiative to open the city to surrender in order to reduce casualties, and surrender with courtesy, presumably King Wu will be able to avoid the past and let the Zhao family be crowned with food, glory and wealth, and generations can enjoy it inexhaustibly!"
"Exactly!"
"Monarch, King Wu is still a benevolent person, and he will definitely not really kill him."
"And today, the peace is not settled, the nations are still there, how dare King Wu kill the people of the clan and the king of a country?"
"Please...... Think again!"
Zhao Ying was silent.
Looking at the ministers who were kneeling on the floor and advocating the surrender of Wu, Zhao Wuxian's heart was very annoyed, and he stood up through gritted teeth, pointed at these ministers, and scolded: "Puppeteer, lack and strategy!"
"Everyone in the world knows that if you eat the king's luck, you should bear the king's worries."
"You are the minister of my Zhao State, the courtier of the monarch, and you enjoy the fiefdom given by the monarch on weekdays, and you are extremely favored, why do you want to say such words that have brought disaster to the country and the people now?"
"Do you think Zhao Jian is not good?"
「……」
Whether Zhao Jian is sharp or not, the ministers all know it.
Even at this time, Zhao Ying, Zhao Wuxian, father and son, still have the ability to execute them.
Having said that, husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came.
Husbands and wives are still like this, let alone monarchs and ministers?
Not everyone can be like Yin Duo before, who can repay the king with death and martyr the country.
Most people are still greedy for life and afraid of death.
With a "plop", Zhao Wuxian knelt down towards Zhao Ying on the throne, and said earnestly, "Father, without further ado."
"Jinyang City can't stop Wu Manzi's attack. For the sake of the country, please move to the place of the monarch, or enter the Zhongshan Kingdom to live temporarily."
"Let's see the changes in the situation in the Central Plains! If Wu Manzi loses and loses to the alliance of princes, then my Zhao State can make a comeback and regain the lost territory."
"If the alliance of the princes is not victorious, the monarch's father can also rely on the land and various places in Handan to make a comeback, and slowly figure it out!"
Zhao Wuxian's plan is absolutely no problem.
After all, it is conceivable that the bottom line of Qingji must be to capture Jinyang City and destroy the Zhao State in form.
Because after this, Wu had to face the invasion of the five-nation alliance.
Maybe Han and Wei will get involved.
This battle in the Central Plains is destined to be unpredictable.
And no matter what the outcome is, Zhao Guo can continue to continue.
It was only because Wu did not have enough troops to capture the northern part of Zhao at this stage
。
Let Zhao Ying escape?
Hearing Zhao Wuxian's words, Zhao Ying just shook his head and said, "Wuxian, the widow is the monarch of Zhao and the lord of the Zhao family, and Jinyang is the capital of the country and the place where the foundation of the Zhao family is located."
"Widow, if you want to be with Jinyang, you won't leave Jinyang alive."
"Father!"
Zhao Wuxian called out eagerly.
"Newspaper—"
At this time, one of the guards climbed into the main hall and said to Zhao Ying, "Monarch! Oh no! The former army of the State of Wu has already arrived in Jinyang, less than twenty miles away from the capital!"
The situation is critical.
At this time, Zhao Ying was still calm, glanced at Zhao Wuxian meaningfully, and said, "Second and third sons, the widow has made up his mind, and he wants to be with Jinyang City, life and death together."
"But you may go away on your own."
"The last edict of the widow - to change Zhao Wuxian as the prince of Zhao. After the widow, Zhao Wuxian immediately succeeded to the throne, and the second and third sons should serve the new monarch as if they were widows!"
As soon as they heard this, the ministers all knelt down with tears in their eyes and promised loudly.
"Ministers...... Obey the Emperor's Decree!"
Zhao Ying had already had the intention to depose the crown prince Beru and set up Zhao Wuxian as the prince, which has long been a well-known thing in Zhao State.
Even, as a party to the case, Beru repeatedly humbled and said that he wanted to give way to Zhao Wuxian.
Why?
Zhao's preference is one thing.
On the other hand, it is Bolu who is mediocre and unbearable, and it is enough to be a king who keeps the success, let alone when he is in troubled times and the mountains and rivers are broken?
Let Beru take over a dilapidated Zhao State, and the final result must be to make the Zhao State completely destroyed.
And Zhao Wuxian has the style of Zhao Ying, who is well-informed and knowledgeable at a young age, has the capacity to accommodate people, and does big things without being informal.
With Zhao Wuxian leading the Zhao State and becoming the new monarch, even if it can't make the Zhao State rise and fight against the Wu State, it must be able to continue the Zhao State, and it will not be like a flash in the pan and disappear from everyone.
"Father, my sons don't dare to accept this edict!"
Zhao Wuxian cried and choked up, "The son doesn't dare to be the king, let alone abandon the monarch."
"Son, I am willing to live and die with you, my father!"
"Idiot!"
Zhao Ying let out a long sigh and said, "It is enough for me Zhao Ying to die alone and die alone, so why should you accompany the funeral? If even you die in Jinyang, how can Zhao Guo have a chance to make a comeback?"
"Needless to say. You immediately take your retainers and the rest of the soldiers to Zhongshan Kingdom and ask for refuge from the Zhongshan people."
"Zhongshan and my Zhao are close neighbors, although there are often discords and several wars, but now there is no lack of cold lips and teeth, Zhongshan people will definitely accept you."
Zhao Ying's determination to die has been decided, and no one can persuade him.
Why did he seek death?
for, just want to fulfill Zhao Wuxian.
As the king of a country, Zhao Ying brought Zhao to the brink of shattering mountains and rivers, and made an entire generation of Zhao young and strong, almost all of whom died on the battlefield.
[In view of the general environment,
Zhao Ying is ashamed of the Zhao people and the ancestors of the Zhao family.
If he doesn't die, the Zhao people will not be able to regain their confidence and restore the Zhao Kingdom.
After Zhao Wuxian knew Zhao Ying's determination, he finally gritted his teeth, kowtowed to Zhao Ying three times with tears in his eyes, and said solemnly: "Father, the son will definitely avenge you!"
"I, Zhao Wuxian, swear that in this life, I will be diligent in self-denial, and take it as my responsibility to restore the Zhao State and destroy the tyrannical Wu!"
"Go ahead!"
"No!"
