Opened the long list of clans, and picked out those people of the right age of the clan one by one, and the ministers suddenly saw an unusually familiar name among them - Zhao Kuo!

That's right, it's their general Zhao Kuo.

Yes, Zhao Kuoben is also a member of the clan, but he is far away from the branch of the former king.

So a thought involuntarily appeared in everyone's minds, as if it was also a choice to let the general be the king!

Moreover, in the current situation, if other people are supported, not to mention whether Lin Shangqing and Pingyuanjun and others will support it, even if they do, I am afraid that they will inevitably lose power, and it will be a lot of trouble for the pro-government at that time.

Only Zhao Kuo is on the throne and is not afraid of this matter. It can even form mutual constraints with Lin Shangqing and Pingyuan Jun, which can not only successfully complete the transition of power, but also directly build a stable political ecology.

Once this thought appeared, it seemed to have taken root in my mind, and I couldn't wave it anymore, and even the more I thought about it, the more reasonable it felt.

Whether it is for the stability of the transfer of power or the stability of the political situation in the future, Zhao Kuo is obviously the best choice.

Of course, this idea is not without its drawbacks.

The biggest drawback is also Zhao Kuo himself.

It is undeniable that Zhao Kuo is definitely a genius among geniuses in military affairs, which has long been verified in the Battle of Changping. But a good general is not necessarily a good politician and a good ruler.

Lian Po is a prime example of this.

After all, the battlefield and the court are two completely different places, and there are completely different rules from the way of thinking to the guide to action. This is also the most fundamental reason why it is often difficult for an excellent general to adapt to the court.

Therefore, for Zhao Kuo's political ability, in fact, many courtiers are still worried.

It was also at this time that the five instructions issued by Zhao Kuo in Daicheng finally arrived in Handan, including five instructions for foreign affairs, internal affairs, and military affairs, clearly and unambiguously showing Zhao Kuo's outstanding political literacy and ability to all those who doubted it.

Almost instantly, there was no place for opposition.

The issue of the heir, which had been eagerly discussed, seemed to lose all its heat in an instant, and everyone began to act around Zhao Kuo's five instructions.

The order to investigate Qingzhuang was soon issued, and Lü Buwei also went from a businessman to officially become the middle doctor of Zhao State, and he also made his debut, and completely walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. As for the envoys sent to various countries, they almost left Handan City together with the orders one by one.

What everyone didn't know was that these five instructions had actually arrived in Lin Shangqing's hands two days ago.

After two days of fermentation, the possibility of Zhao Kuo's succession was fully discussed, and the pros and cons were clear to all the courtiers, Lin Shangqing took out Zhao Kuo's five instructions.

On the one hand, solving the problem after discovering it can block everyone's mouth, and it can also make Zhao Kuo's position in the hearts of the ministers even higher;

On the other hand, since Zhao Kuo has become a strong contender for the next King of Zhao, he is even moving towards the direction of the only candidate. For the orders issued by Zhao Kuo, they will naturally be respected and implemented to the greatest extent. After all, no one wants to make a bad impression in the eyes of the "new king" like this.

It can be said that Lin Shangqing's slight delay not only did not delay the execution of Zhao Kuo's instructions, but made the instructions more unimpeded. I have to say that for the calculation of people's hearts, Lin Xiangru has indeed reached the peak.

Of course, apart from Lin Xiangru himself, even Pingyuanjun didn't know anything about these things, let alone Zhao Kuo, who was far away. However, Lin Xiangru's operation was not seamless, at least Lu Buwei in Handan City noticed the abnormality.

It's just that Lü Buwei, as Zhao Kuo's military advisor, saw that things were developing towards the most favorable situation for Zhao Kuo, and Lü Buwei was naturally happy to see it. Z.br>

Soon, with the cooperation of Lin Shangqing and Lü Buwei, the entire Handan city was thorough

The bottom ground entered Zhao Kuo's control.

And Zhao Kuo, who had been setting off from the city for several days, finally waited for the latest battle situation.

I have to say that Li Mu is Li Mu in the end, and his ability and means are not comparable to ordinary people.

The expected rout did not happen, but instead confronted the Yan army again under the command of Li Mu.

Although more than 40,000 Zhao *** teams were beaten to the point of only more than 26,000 people because of a big defeat by King Zhao, and more than 20,000 people were all collected by Li Mu into the big village east of Anping City, and blocked the main force of the Yan army that wanted to escape by victory.

26,000 men and horses, against the Yan army's nearly 80,000 troops, for ten days, the Yan army failed to advance half a step!

You must know that what Li Mu can rely on is only a temporary built village, not a rock-solid city wall. The Yan army on the other side was eager to open the passage and return to his own country.

The Yan army that wants to go home is like a trapped beast, and its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

The troops are insufficient, the city is not solid, but they have to face more than 80,000 trapped beasts, God knows how Li Mu defended it.

Of course, in order to defend this simple walled city, the Zhao army obviously paid a huge price, in just ten days, Li Mu's troops were less than 15,000 men and horses, while the Yan army still had more than 60,000 soldiers and horses.

Although the battle loss ratio is still slightly advantageous to the Zhao army, you must know that the Zhao army itself is in a defensive state, and the Zhao army in Li Mu's hands is all the elite division of the Hu people who have fought Changping with Zhao Kuo, while the Yan army has a lot of soldiers who are only temporarily recruited.

Under such a situation of comparison of combat strength, the battle loss ratio of the two armies still did not widen the gap, and the fierceness of the battle can be seen.

That's all in the past, though!

Zhao Kuo led an army of 30,000 to the flank of the Yan army, and the journey was only one day.

Then what else to say, since the enemy situation is clear, then the battle is just.

"Herald. The army immediately moved south. The target is directly attacking the Yan army's flank." Although it was already night, Zhao Kuo still gave the order decisively.

Tonight's departure is just right to rush to the vicinity of the Yan army's camp after dark tomorrow and launch an attack on the Yan army at night. If it is delayed, I am afraid that it will take two days to delay.

Although Li Mu can still hold on for now, Zhao Kuo knows that the sooner he arrives, the more he can remove the threat of the Yan army. And the sooner the Yan army is eliminated, the more Zhao can really be safe—the threat of the Qin army is always there!

"Yes." The generals present immediately agreed.

"Zhao Wei." Zhao Kuo then nodded.

"Yes." Zhao Wei agreed.

"Take you as the vanguard, choose 5,000 elite cavalry, and open the way for the army!" Zhao Kuo took out a token from the table, and then handed it out: "There is only one request, quickly interspersed, after discovering the Yan army camp, there is no need to ask for instructions, attack directly, break through the Yan army gate as quickly as possible, and open up the way for the main army to attack."

"Yes." Zhao Wei immediately held the token in both hands and agreed loudly.

"Sun Gu, Zhou Qi." Zhao Kuo continued to point.

"The end will be." The two looked at each other and agreed.

"Each leader has 3,000 cavalry, follows the vanguard left and right, and forms an encirclement posture against the Yan army from the left and right sides." Zhao Kuofu continued to draw out the token and said to the two: "Once Zhao Wei launches an attack on the front, within a quarter of an hour, the attack on the left and right sides will also be launched to reduce the pressure of the frontal attack!"

"Yes." The two nodded in unison, took the token in Zhao Kuo's hand and agreed.

"The rest of the army, set off with Ben." Zhao Kuo continued to order.

"Yes." The generals were commanded again.

"Ben will emphasize again: in this battle, the strength of our army is not enough for the Yan army, therefore, the attack of each unit must be fierce and strong, and the connection must be fast and accurate, and the Yan army must be panicked and disrupted at the first time!" Zhao Kuo commanded again, "Do you understand?"

"Understood!" All the soldiers replied in unison.

Immediately, more than 30,000 Zhao troops

It was quick to get into action. In just half an hour, Zhao Wei had already set off with 5,000 elite soldiers, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Sun Gu and Zhou Qi's second generals also embarked on the journey with their 3,000 troops.

Immediately afterwards, in just an hour, all the Zhao troops had already set up camp.

The army of 30,000, like a huge arrow, went straight into the side back of the Yan army.

In today's Yan army camp, there is also a fierce discussion, but compared to Zhao Kuo's decisiveness, Yan Jun's discussion is obviously more obviously tangled.

In the face of the Zhao army's camp that could not be attacked for a long time, although the Yan army did not lose many soldiers, it was almost exhausted for the joy and victory of the Zhao army.

It was not only the soldiers who doubted whether they could take the Zhao army, but even the generals generally felt hopeless.

This despair not only comes from Li Mu, but also from King Zhao.

That's right, it's King Zhao.

After learning that King Zhao had died in the chaos of arrows, the generals of the Yan army not only did not have any joy, but were panicked, which is why the Yan army was able to burst out with such a powerful combat power and wanted to break through Li Mu's blockade and return to the Yan country.

Everyone knows very well that with the death of King Zhao, Yan Zhao can be regarded as a great enmity of life and death, the kind that never dies!

You must know that Zhao Kuo should still be in charge of the land now, and once Zhao Kuo learns about the situation of King Zhao, he will inevitably mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Zhao to press over.

The 60,000 army against Zhao Kuo's 5,000 troops can't be attacked, once Zhao Kuo attacks with the whole Zhao army, he will still suffer from the enemy on his back, and it will be strange if he is not defeated.

According to the time calculation, Zhao Kuo should already be on the way to mobilize troops at this time.

If you can't return to Yan Country as soon as possible, the remaining more than 60,000 soldiers and horses will all be lost in this Zhao land.

Of course, in fact, even if they returned to Yan Kingdom, the generals of the Yan army were not sure that they would be able to stop Zhao Kuo's soldiers and horses, but at least they could hold on for a little longer.

Perhaps, the Qin State sent troops to interfere with the Zhao State?

In any case, the position of the enemy in the abdomen and back must not stay any longer......
