Although I already have an idea in my heart, there is still a thorny problem - Zhao Guochaotang!

Zhao Kuo can find a way to hold other problems and variables in his hands, and he can slowly resolve them in a bad way, but only in Zhao Guo's court, if he misses this opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a better opportunity.

The reason is simple, it's a paradox!

Zhao Kuo is going to replace King Zhao! But at the same time, Zhao Kuo is going to lead Zhao Guo to the top.

To replace King Zhao, it is almost impossible to go through the conventional way.

Even if Zhao Kuo is a member of the Zhao State clan, no matter how great Zhao Kuo's credit is, unless there is a great crisis in Zhao State, and King Zhao makes a fatal mistake, it is impossible for Zhao Kuo to take over Zhao State.

And with the reform of Zhao Kuo in Shangdang and Hanoi, except for this short period of emptiness after the Battle of Changping, Zhao will soon become stronger step by step in the reform, and at the same time, the position of King Zhao is actually becoming indestructible step by step.

Unless the King of Zhao destroys everything that Zhao Kuo has done and pushes the Zhao Kingdom back into a situation where it is almost impossible to recover!

In this way, it will be even more difficult for Zhao Kuo to reorganize the mountains and rivers!

Of course, there is another way - mutiny, but obviously, the sequelae of such a method are too great, and even the disaster will last for thousands of years. And this is an unacceptable stain on Zhao Kuo, who wants to forge an imperial legend!

Winning the country will be right! This is the cornerstone of the millennium of the empire.

Don't say anything about "history is a little girl who can be dressed up", and of course don't believe in anything "history is like a knife", but all the injustices have already been secretly marked with a price, but it is true.

Do you think that in the Tang Dynasty, there was always the crux of the episode of "killing the king and killing the brother and killing the father", and it was not the night outside the Xuanwu Gate?

To put it simply: after missing the weak period of the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo is either ready to hide in the snow for several years, go out of the mountain again, and fight another battle that is even more difficult than the Battle of Changping, or be prepared to "get the wrong position......

Zhao Kuo's ambition, Lü Buwei already knew. Now worried, Zhao Kuo is not ready to hide it from Lu Buwei, after all, this trouble was caused by Lu Buwei.

"What the military advisor said is not unreasonable." Zhao Kuo hesitated for a moment and continued: "It's just that if you miss this opportunity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to return to Handan, even if there is another opportunity, it may be a time of decline. To be honest, although the battle of Changping was won, it was due to luck, and I really don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Secondly, if I have been in Daibei for a long time, in Handan City, although there are Lin Shangqing and Pingyuan Jun in charge, but Lin Qing is weak and often difficult to come forward, and Pingyuan Jun is often difficult to support alone, as evidenced by the hasty ending of Changping. If it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that the court will change."

When Lu Buwei heard this, he was slightly stunned.

I was stunned by the speed of Zhao Kuo's thinking, just now I was discussing the way to be a king, and suddenly jumped to fight against Hu, maybe this is the thinking of the big leader - always unexpected.

The second was stunned by the rapid change in Zhao Kuo's attitude, obviously he was still discussing how to encircle and annihilate him, but he was really persuaded by himself after a little persuasion? Lu Buwei is not worried that this is because Zhao Kuo's ears are soft, after all, those who can turn the tide in the Battle of Changping will definitely not be soft.

It's just that Lü Buwei was also a little surprised by his persuasion ability.

In addition to being shocked, Lü Buwei was obviously prepared for this.

"Don't worry, my lord! Let's listen to the analysis of my subordinates." Lu Buwei said with a smile, as long as Zhao Kuo can loosen his mouth and postpone the large-scale annihilation war, everything else is easy to say.

"First, this is not the best opportunity for the Yan army to go south.

The reason is very simple, the Qin State first had the defeat of Changping, and then there was the loss of words, and it was categorically difficult to raise troops again to embarrass the party and Hanoi, so that although General Lian Po's department had the responsibility of defending the territory, at a critical moment, it was not impossible to return. In this way, without strong reinforcement from outside, the Yan army may not dare to come;

Second, if Yan Junguo does not dare to come, the lord can continue to fight in Daibei and slowly figure it out. Although this battle does not encircle and annihilate the Hu army, but only collect the trump card of our army's heavy armor, the rest of the troops should be scattered, and the military rations that should be used, the soldiers who should be lost, and even the message of asking for help should be as usual.

Such a big battle, that is, or not

There is encirclement and annihilation, and the consumption is quite a lot, and the bumper harvest of Zhao this year is not enough to restore its vitality.

Even if the Yan army ventures to come, what you should do is not to stick to Daibei, but to lead the army back to Handan and turn the tide again. However, in this battle, there is no attempt to kill or injure the Yan army, as long as it can drive it away, it is enough to deal with it, and even not to damage the vitality of the Yan army.

Third, in the coming year, after the Qin army's power gradually recovers, it will follow the provocation to the east; And I can also provoke at the edge of Yanbeikai; In this way, under the anger of the Yan State, he will definitely invite the Qin State and attack my Zhao.

At that time, there are traces of the Qin army in Shangdang and Hanoi, and General Lian Po will not be allowed to return, and at this time, for our initiative, the lord can choose to provoke when the battle of Daibei has begun, so that he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Fourth, now that the court of Zhao State, Lin Shangqing and Pingyuan Jun have all fallen to our side, and King Zhao has reused Lou Chang, Zhao Bao and others, and has hated the ministers. In this way, under the confrontation between the two parties, and there is no external oppression, it is bound to set off party strife, and under the party strife, it is bound to be a miasma, so it is better to give more time to let it ferment itself.

In this way, on the one hand, it can weaken the prestige of King Zhao and win the hearts of more ministers for the lord, and on the other hand, it can also look at the purity of the ministers in the Qing Dynasty, laying the groundwork for the future power."

Zhao Kuo listened carefully, and couldn't help but be amazed!

Obviously, Lü Buwei's consideration is more comprehensive and more prudent than his own thoughts. Not only in the military aspect, he turned his adventurous actions into a slow advance, but also pointed out the direction for himself politically, and even turned the unfavorable situation of party struggle into a situation favorable to himself in a simple sentence.

Of course, this is not to say that Lü Buwei has changed the weak situation of Zhao Kuo's Handan center with his own strength, but Lü Buwei has found a side that is beneficial to Zhao Kuo in the weak situation.

The so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, not everyone can see the other side of things, even Zhao Kuo couldn't think so thoroughly.

"Military advisor, Guowu's Jiang Gong and Guan Zhongye." Zhao Kuo praised.

These words are obviously from the bottom of their hearts, of course, as a traverser, Zhao Kuo, whose thinking has been opened, naturally can't let Lu Buwei take the lead.

He immediately added: "Not only Yan Di's troops, but we need to take the initiative, and in the decisive battle with the Hu people, since it is moved to next year, or even later, it doesn't matter, there is so much time, we can't waste it."

Without waiting for Lu Buwei's reaction, Zhao Kuo immediately continued: "I intend that among the three cities along the way, choose one city to open the mutual market, for the Hu people to exchange leather goods and other goods with my Zhao people, and provide the help of gold silk for Zhao Wei, Xu Li and others."

"It's never been an idea to open up the market." Lü Buwei was shocked when he heard this, as a businessman, especially after personally walking to the Hu people's grassland, he knew too well how profitable it was to do business with the Hu people.

The Hu people on the grassland did not have the sword coins of Zhao State, but they had cattle, sheep and horses that were common in the world.

And the price they can give is really exciting. A simple clay pot for cooking rice can be sold for the price of a sheep, and if it is bronze, it is even more luxurious, and no good horse can be replaced!

It's just that there are countless risks lurking in this huge profit, in the grassland, thousands of miles of people are uninhabited, lost, kidnapped, killed, anything can happen. This is perhaps the biggest obstacle preventing merchants from entering and leaving the grasslands.

But if the exchange market with the Hu people is opened, the security problem will inevitably be guaranteed, as long as the Hu people on the grassland continue to come with energy, this city will even become a richer and more prosperous place than Taoyi.

"Two issues: safety, and how to make the Hu people on the grassland know and believe in this mutual market." Lü Buwei immediately figured out the essence of the problem. The security includes not only the security of market transactions, but also the security of this inter-market city.

After all, the Hu people don't know anything else, they are very good at grabbing things, and they don't care whether there are their own people in the city or not. Even the Hu people will enter the city in the name of mutual business and become the female cadres who break the city, which must be guarded against.

Zhao Kuo did not directly answer the question of safety, but said to Lü Buwei: "It is not difficult to let the Hu people know, after the war, you can organize several caravans to enter the grassland to peddle grain, salt and other goods, and the lower ones are lower

price, and told the Hu people that they can go to the city to buy it, and the price can be cheaper, and I believe that in the spring of next year, this news will spread all over the grassland."

"But ......"

Lu Buwei was about to ask the question of safety again, but suddenly he seemed to think of something, and his face changed slightly

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Yes, this city's mutual market to make money is just a pretense, and its actual and most important purpose is to attract the attention of the Hu people from the defense line of the three cities to this city. Thus ......"

At this point, Lu Buwei still didn't know Zhao Kuo's plan. Once the mutual market is successful, the wealth of this city is enough to be envied even in the eyes of the Central Plains countries, not to mention the poor grassland Hu people.

There was no need to think about it, the Hu people would definitely take this city as a key target of attack, and Zhao Kuo was just able to lay down his pockets and concentrate his forces to destroy it.

"Lord, if God really counts." Lu Buwei couldn't help but sigh: "In this way, the chances of winning next year will increase by two percent!"

You must know that from Lü Buwei's point of view, he had just persuaded Zhao Kuo to postpone the decisive battle against Hu, and Zhao Kuo immediately adjusted the deployment, and in view of the redundant time, he won the most favorable situation for his own side and put forward the most suitable combat plan.

The name of the god of war of Zhao is well deserved.

It's just that what Lu Buwei doesn't know is that this idea is not Zhao Kuo's temporary idea.

On the contrary, this was the tactic that Zhao Kuo was preparing to use in this war, but it was not the city full of gold silk that was used to attract the Hu people, but himself, the general of Zhao State, Zhao Kuo.

It's just that this plan is now stillborn, and Zhao Kuo is not ready to explain more.
