Chapter 391: The North is full of wind and rain
What Lu Buwei didn't know was that in Zhao Kuo's plan, this mutual market strategy was not as simple as attracting the attention and strength of the Hu people, so as to gather and annihilate them. In the future, this city will become the advance base of the assimilated Hu people, and it will also be the bridgehead for Zhao Kuo's forces to reach into the vast grassland.
Of course, that's all for later.
"Since the military advisor also thinks that it is possible, then tomorrow, the military advisor will set off with me. In the future, the city is still focused on business, so it is natural to entrust it to the military division. I still have a little experience in choosing a city to defend the city, but if you want to choose a city for business, you still have to rely on the discernment of the military advisor." Zhao Kuo also sincerely entrusted.
"I don't dare to ask if I want to." Lü Buwei also immediately replied.
Lü Buwei knew that although he was a businessman, he was by no means the only person to manage the city of mutual markets and open the Hu people's trade routes.
The reason why the general handed over such a thing to himself was, on the one hand, out of trust in himself, and on the other hand, he was also subsidizing himself in disguise. After all, the benefits of mutual market are self-evident.
"If you have the courage to believe in people, and you have the means to use people, if you are like this, what more can you ask for?!" Lu Buwei sighed in his heart again.
"Without further ado." Zhao Kuo ignored Lu Buwei, who sighed in his heart, and continued to arrange the task, saying, "Since we have made up our minds, and Zhao Wei and the others don't need to work day and night. I'll say, you'll write it."
"Yes." Lu Buwei immediately agreed.
Lü Buwei knew that if he was just making suggestions to the general just now, under this move, he would be regarded as a real counselor in military affairs. Maybe from now on, he will really be like the general's words - one person is below and above ten thousand.
Night fell quickly, and with the cooperation of Zhao Kuo and Lü Buwei, a secret order soon came out of Daicheng and rushed to Shangdang, Hanoi and Handan......
The night passed quickly, and in the turn of the day, Zhao Kuo had already ridden a tall horse, followed by General Chen Xun, the head of Daidi, and General Wu Pi, who was about to go to Macheng, and then the new leader of the army, General Sun Gu.
As for Zhou Qi, he was left behind by Zhao Kuo, on the one hand, to continue to train heavy cavalry, and on the other hand, he could also temporarily manage the soldiers and horses of Daicheng, so that he could be regarded as holding the military power in his hands in disguise.
For Zhao Kuo's operation, General Chen Xun didn't understand anything. But the so-called "once a son of heaven and a courtier", Zhao Kuo, as a general, wanted to open up a situation, so he naturally wanted to appoint "his own people".
What's more, not only did he not show the will to cooperate extremely much, but persuaded him to give up the initiative. In such a situation, if he did not directly take away his position as the guardian of the land, it would already be regarded as mercy.
Although Zhao Kuo's side wanted military power, he didn't want to make the generals of Daidi panic, so it was enough to transfer Chen Xun from Daicheng and hold the main force of the cavalry stationed in it in his hands by patrolling the border.
Of course, this is not to say that Zhao Kuo's border patrol trip is just a cover.
After all, Zhao Kuo came here to do a battle with the Hu people, and it is important to win the military power, and the defense of the front line is equally important! What's more, in the horse city that is going to be there now, there is also Li Mu who Zhao Kuo misses!
Even Zhao Kuo thought about directly giving the three cities on the sideline a "four noes and two straights", but this idea was quickly dispelled by Zhao Kuo.
The reason is very simple, today's Daidi is not completely in control, and it is impossible for him to want "four noes and two straights". Even if you make a private visit to your own microservice, it will not work at all in this era when there is very little population movement and household registration must be checked everywhere.
Simply, Zhao Kuo simply didn't care so much, just took people to go directly.
The clatter of horses' hooves broke the tranquility of Daibei, and at the same time, in Yanbei, which was almost at the same latitude, the country that should have been quiet was also ready to move at this time. Just as Zhao Kuo thought at the beginning.
"Enlighten my king: What the minister of the country is plotting is really a big mistake!"
A fierce debate is in full swing in the Yan Palace.
The guests were: Yan Wangxi who sat on the main seat, a group of people led by the prime minister and the general on the right hand of King Yan, and the one who stood on the left hand of King Yan
It is a series of people led by the doctor Jiangqu and Changguo Junlema.
The two sides can be described as-for-tat, and no one will let anyone.
And this round, it is obviously the turn of the doctor to go to the side of the ditch.
"Zhao Guoxian defeated the Qin army in the land of Shangdang, and expanded the land for thousands of miles; After forcing the death of Wu Anjun of the Qin State and the beheading of the General of the Qin State, Sima Cuo, the morale was also booming at this time. At this time, I don't know why the minister of the country has such a grotesque idea, this is tantamount to self-inflicted humiliation!" Doctor Yan Guoshang said unceremoniously to the prime minister.
Without waiting for the Minister of State to fight back, Changguo Junlejian, who was standing in front of Jiangqu, also stood up.
"My Wang Rongyu: If it is when Qin and Zhao are confronted in Danshui, or when Qin and Zhao are fighting, or even when the Qin army is trapped by the Zhao army, our army still has something to do." Le Jian paused slightly, sighed deeply, as if he was regretting the loss of a great opportunity for Yan Guo, and a pair of eyes full of disappointment seemed to say: When it was time to enter the army, I didn't listen to my advice and didn't enter, but now I ......
Then he looked at the side of the prime minister, and continued: "Now that Qin Zhao has been in the army for a long time, and Zhao, as one of the victorious parties, not only will the morale of the army as mentioned by Dr. Qu, but also its weapons and equipment and even food and straw be replenished, and attacking Zhao at this time is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it is absolutely undesirable!"
Seeing that the other party was about to gain the upper hand, the prime minister knew that he had to fight back immediately, otherwise once the king was moved, it would be extremely difficult to change his mind.
Immediately, the Minister of State went out of class and bowed slightly to King Yan.
Then he looked at Le Jian and Jiang Qu, and said slowly: "Qi my king: Since Chang Guojun wants to turn over the old accounts, then let's go over the old accounts.
However, it is said that when Qin and Zhao fought in the party, Qin sent an envoy to the DPRK to invite our army to fight in Zhao, can our army come out?
I said: No, no!
Those who go to the land of the party, the gateway of Handan in Zhao State! If our army comes out from the north, the road is almost smooth, but the army can come to the city of Handan in ten days, if you are the king of Zhao, how should you defend it?"
There is no need for Lejian to answer, the prime minister has already begun to ask and answer himself.
"Handan has been lost, what is the use of leaving the door?
As long as King Zhao still has a trace of sanity, he will withdraw the main force of the Zhao army of Shangdang and fight our army under the city of Handan. According to Dr. Jiangqu, our army will be defeated by Zhao Junye, and it may not be the Qin State but our Yan State that will cede land and seek peace at that time.
Therefore, whether it was in the confrontation with Danshui, or at the moment of the fierce battle on the west bank, or even after Qin fell into the encirclement, it was beneficial to Qin and not to Yanye, and even Zhao State did not suffer much damage. Qin can get the land of the party, and Zhao can get the land of my Yan country, and this so-called lost east corner of the harvest of mulberry elm is also.
In vain, my Yan country lost its troops and lost its land. At such a time, how can the Wu Yan army send troops?"
I have to say that the prime minister is still a little sub-level, and he actually used the trick of attacking the shield with his own spear. Of course, behind the seemingly reasonable words, there are actually huge logical loopholes.
It's very simple: why did Qin let Zhao withdraw his troops easily? Once the Qin State has the upper hand, how can it stop at the land of the party? Meeting with the Yan army under the ministers of Handan is the plan of the king of Qin.
In this way, there is no situation where the Yan army cannot defeat the Zhao army.
Under the attack of the two countries, even if the Zhao State does not die, it will have to suffer fiercely, and the Yan army, which has been suffering from no way to the south, can naturally ask for the cession of a few cities in the east that are not too big, and even some barren.
And once there are these barren cities, the passage to the south of the Yan Kingdom will be completely opened! Yan Guo will be able to make the best use of it.
It's just that such a logical loophole is not something that ordinary people can find.
And King Yan is precisely the group of people who can't find logical loopholes, and even because of the trick of attacking the shield of the son with his own spear, King Yan is obviously more willing to believe the words of the prime minister.
"That being the case, our army is still not the opponent of Zhao's army at this time, why did the minister of state suggest that the widow send troops to attack Zhao at this time! You need to know that at this time, it is difficult for the Qin State to send troops to increase its troops!" King Yan asked puzzledly, "What's more, the words of Chang Guojun and General Qu also have their truth, but Zhao Jun's current military morale is not now
It's the same as it used to be."
When Li Belly heard this, he already knew what King Yan meant: he wanted to fight, but he was afraid of defeat.
King Yan needs a ladder, a ladder to pick him up and drop, and it is convenient for him to go up and down.
Li Yu immediately turned around, looked at King Yan, and said slowly: "My Wang Rongyu: What Dr. Jiangqu and Lechang Guojun said also has its truth. After the war with Qin, the morale of the Zhao army increased greatly, and at the same time, there may also be weapons and equipment.
But my king must know that no matter the morale of the army, weapons and equipment are all meant to act on people! In the battle of Changping, although the Zhao army won, it was not a complete victory, a big victory, but a tragic victory!"
"A pyrrhic victory?" Yan Wangxi asked very cooperatively.
"The so-called crushing victory is to injure the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred! Although Zhao won today, he lost more than 300,000 soldiers, which can be described as the elite annihilation. Now the army in Zhao State is only more than a hundred thousand people." King Yan explained.
"More than 100,000!" King Yan was obviously still a little disappointed, after all, the number of more than 100,000 was already all of the Yan army, and if he faced Zhao State with a one-on-one force, King Yan didn't think that his army would have any chance of winning.
"Hahaha......" The Prime Minister obviously understood King Yan's weakness, and couldn't help laughing.
"Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? Zhao Guoxin won the two places of Shangdang and Hanoi, which were coveted by the Qin army outside and rebellious by the displaced people inside, so how could there be no army to suppress them?" Chestnut obviously expected it, and he also explored the affairs of the second county quite clearly: "Until now, Lian Po and Tian Dan of Zhao are still stationed in it with a large army!"
