Chapter 666: Killing and deciding to go south

"Do you want to report the situation to the two veteran generals?"

To be honest, Zhao Kuo is a little entangled in this.

Tell me, and I'm afraid that the two old generals will be anxious and make inappropriate moves, but don't tell me, now that the battle situation has taken a turn for the worse, no matter how much you try to help the Chu army and weaken the Qin army, in the final analysis, taking Jicheng as soon as possible is the only answer to solve the problem.

Therefore, no matter how many actions the army of Handan and Shangdang makes, the army of Yanbei and the Qin army are the most important thing.

Sighing lightly, Zhao Kuo, who had hesitated on the map for a quarter of an hour, finally made up his mind: to believe that the two old generals would definitely make the most correct choice.

"Heralds." Zhao Kuo called softly: "Order Sun Gu to inform the two old generals of Yanbei of the latest military situation, and order them to go down to Jicheng as soon as possible. Then he sent an order to Li Mu, ordering him to quickly march south and prepare to attack the country of Han."

"Yes." The eunuch Ling, who had just returned to the palace, immediately agreed.

"In addition, tell the two old generals that the widow has led the army to Shangdang to attack Korea and delay the Qin army." Zhao Kuo then continued to instruct, since he had already said it, then simply tell the two old generals all his plans.

Whether it's pressure or motivation, it's all about letting the two old generals have an understanding of the overall situation.

"Yes." The eunuch Ling agreed again.

Seeing that Zhao Kuo no longer spoke, the eunuch Ling Cai whispered, "My king, Pingyuan Jun is asking to see you outside the palace."

Hearing this, Zhao Kuo was slightly stunned, and then understood that Pingyuanjun should have come to persuade him not to go to the front line of the party easily.

couldn't help but think of the first meeting with Pingyuan Jun: at that time, the rumors of Qin Wei's horse suits in Handan City were rampant; At that time, I didn't want to go to Changping even if I was killed; At that time, it was Pingyuanjun who personally came to persuade him to go to the party.

And now, he wants to go to the frontline battlefield, but Pingyuanjun has become an opponent.

"Pass it on." Zhao Kuo smiled helplessly, and then added, "In addition, after passing on the Pingyuan Monarch, go and give Sun Gu an order."

"Yes." The eunuch Ling agreed again.

Soon, with the departure of the eunuch order, Pingyuan Jun also walked quickly towards Zhao Kuo.

"My king." Pingyuanjun bowed slightly and saluted Zhao Kuo.

"Plains-kun doesn't need to be polite." Zhao Kuo picked up Pingyuan Jun with one hand, and then took Pingyuan Jun's arm and came to Yutu, saying, "The meaning of Pingyuan Jun's coming here is known to the widow, and listen to the words of the widow."

"The current situation, for my big Zhao, is not optimistic." Without waiting for Pingyuan Jun to react, Zhao Kuo immediately turned to Yutu and began to explain: "In just more than ten days, the Qin army has made extremely rapid progress, and together with the Han army, it has broken the two fortified cities of Zeng City and Xincai of Chu State, and now I am afraid that all of them have gone to the Chen capital of Chu State.

If our army does not reinforce Chu with practical actions, I am afraid that Chu may abandon the city and leave.

The Qin army has won the capital of Chen, and will take advantage of the victory to go north, with more than 200,000 troops into Kou Zhou, and the Wei State will not be able to stop.

In this way, the land of Yan obtained by our army is not enough to capture the land of Chu and Zhou obtained by the Qin army."

While speaking, Zhao Kuo made a comparison on the map, although Pingyuanjun was not very familiar with military affairs, he quickly understood the seriousness of the situation.

Immediately, seeing that Pingyuan Jun had a general understanding of the situation, Zhao Kuo immediately threw out his own solution, saying, "For today's plan, the only way to attack Han is to raise a large army, and to attack Han to save Chu."

"Attack Korea?" Pingyuan-kun obviously still had some doubts.

"Yes, of course." Zhao Kuo nodded and continued to explain: "In order to quickly break through Xincai, the Qin army did not hesitate to borrow tens of thousands of troops from the country of Han, and I have ordered Yu Linwei to inspect the movements of the Han army. In this way, even if the Qin army takes the Chen capital, as long as our army holds Xinzheng, the advantage is still mine.

Even if the Korean army has returned and our army has been killed, the Korean army will inevitably ask the Qin army for help. In this way, the burden of the state of Chu can be shared, and the king of Chu will know that our army is already on the way to the rescue, so it should be able to make Chen Du hold out for a few more days."

Listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Pingyuan Jun also quickly reacted: "My king's strategy of attacking Han is certainly feasible, but in this case, it is enough to let General Li Mu lead the army forward, why do you need the king to go to the dangerous place in person?"

Of course, Zhao Kuo knew that Pingyuan Jun had this question, and immediately continued to explain: "There are three reasons why the widow went to the battlefield in person.

First of all, from the point of view of our army. This battle is very probable, it will be less to attack more, to be weak and strong, if Lian Po or General Tian Dan is here, this will not be a problem. But Li Mu is not old enough in the end, although he has the merit of destroying Hu and running for thousands of miles, he has the ability to win more and less, and defeat the weak with the strong. In the end, there is something lacking in prestige. Looking at the court, only the few people led the army up, and the soldiers could believe it.

Secondly, from the point of view of the Qin army. Han Zhiguo can neither be saved nor saved. It is impossible not to save it, because the Qin State cannot sit back and watch the country of Han be destroyed by our army, but if it divides too many troops, it will affect its great cause of attacking Chu, and it is impossible to save it. At this time, the most likely choice for the Qin State was to send a general and thousands of Qin troops to Xinzheng to rescue.

As a result, it was difficult for our army to quickly capture Xinzheng, and it was impossible to induce the Qin army to divide its troops.

However, if the widow goes to the overseer in person, whether the Qin army is afraid of the widow or wants to eliminate the widow, it will definitely not be a bystander, and it is very likely to send a large number of soldiers. In this way, the pressure of the Chu State can be shared.

In the end, the widow went to the battlefield in person, which was also an explanation to the king of Chu and even the whole country of Chu. It is also an incentive for the Chu State to stick to the Chen capital.

As with the above three, the widow must go to this battle."

Listening to Zhao Kuo's analysis, Ping Yuanjun wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Just as the situation of the year was compelled, Zhao Kuo had to go into battle to Changping, and now in the war, as long as Zhao still wants to win, he also needs Zhao Kuo's name.

Back then, Pingyuanjun was powerless to stop the internal and external coercion, and today's Pingyuanjun is also unable to stop Zhao Kuo's heart to win.

"So, what can Wechen do?" Pingyuanjun asked with a slight arch of his hand.

The familiar words sounded again, just as Pingyuan Jun persuaded Zhao Kuo to go out to Changping.

It's just that at that moment, Zhao Kuo needed Pingyuanjun to persuade King Zhao to give him power, but at this moment, Zhao Kuo wanted to give Pingyuanjun power...

"After I'm gone." Zhao Kuo nodded slightly, and said, "The court respects you, Zhao Ping is also left to you, and the secret guard will assist you from the side, my request is very simple, stabilize the rear and ensure the supply of grain and grass."

"The king's will?" Pingyuanjun was obviously a little shocked by Zhao Kuo's words.

If you want to ensure the supply of grain and grass, it is naturally your own duty, but what does it mean to stabilize the rear.

Moreover, do you still need Zhao Ping's secret guard assistance?

You must know that in the winter of last year, in a snowstorm, the secret guard quickly collected evidence almost in one day and took down several ministers, which left an indelible impression on the hearts of the courtiers.

Pingyuanjun also naturally understood the role that this force played in the court.

But such a force, the king actually handed it over to himself, so what kind of enemy did he have to face?

"Don't think too much about it." Hearing Pingyuan Jun's doubts, Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "With the temperament of the Qin people, what you can't get on the battlefield is very likely to want to get it through the court. Leaving Zhao Ping's secret guard is just a backhand."

As he spoke, Zhao Kuo looked at Pingyuanjun again, but his tone was slightly colder, and said, "However, if someone hits the muzzle of the gun, please remember Pingyuanjun to eliminate the evil."

Pingyuanjun, who had just relaxed his mood, suddenly became nervous again.

Listening to the king's words, Pingyuan Jun still didn't know the seriousness of the matter. Suddenly, Pingyuan Jun also understood Zhao Kuo's last intention in leaving Handan: to expose the enemy.

Indeed, the six-year New Deal has greatly improved the national strength of Zhao, but correspondingly, because of the redistribution of interests, since there are vested interests, there must be those whose interests are damaged.

And there are not a few people whose interests have been damaged.

In the past few years, Zhao Guo's life was as prosperous as cooking oil on fire, but nothing happened.

But with the development of the Battle of Los Angeles last year, the acceptance of the people of Zhoudi, coupled with the snow disaster, the life of Zhao Guo was not easy for the whole year.

As a result, the ghosts and ghosts also slowly jumped out.

Even Pingyuanjun can clearly feel the implementation of this year's policy, and it seems that the resistance is greater than in previous years.

However, there is Zhao Kuo suppressing it above, but there has been no problem. In the final analysis, the problem is simply buried, not completely solved.

The more problems you buried, the more problems you have, the more they will be.

Presumably, the king is also aware of the problem, and this time to fight in the country of Han is obviously a good opportunity.

The entire army of Zhao was hollowed out, either in the north of Yan or in the south, and the empty Handan was also the best time for all opponents to jump out.

If it is coupled with the impetus of the Qin State behind it, it is very likely to have an impact on the rule of the entire Zhao State.

However, this is also an opportunity for Zhao Kuo to clean up the interior. And if you want to clean up the inside, a quick knife is naturally indispensable, obviously, the dark guard was born for such a purpose.

Pingyuan Jun, who understood it, also sighed in his heart, and then clasped his hands into fists to indicate his position: "My king can rest assured, now that the traces of the Zhao Kingdom are not easy to come by, Weichen will never allow anyone to disrupt the steps of the unification of the Zhao Kingdom."

"Okay." Zhao Kuo nodded, and then said, "In this case, Pingyuan Jun will go to arrange the grain and grass first, and the widow will set off tomorrow."

"Yes." Pingyuan-kun immediately agreed.

After arranging the Plains Jun here, Zhao Kuo was not idle, and then summoned Lu Buwei and Zhao Ping into the palace to teach him face-to-face.

Yes, Lü Buwei will also stay with him to assist Plains Jun to stabilize the rear.

Of course, Zhao Kuo trusts Pingyuanjun, otherwise he would not have shared his thoughts with Pingyuanjun. But as a king, trust is always relative, and doubt is absolute.

Compared with trust, mutual checks and balances are the constant means of being a king.

If Pingyuanjun is the sharp sword that Zhao Kuo left in Handan, then Lu Buwei, who was pulled up by himself, is Zhao Kuo's sword cover to balance Pingyuanjun.

It's just that with Lü Buwei's prestige and foundation, it is far from enough to compete with Pingyuan Jun. Therefore, Zhao Ping is the heaviest weight that Zhao Kuo gave to Lu Buwei. After the army left Handan, Zhao Ping's secret guard was almost the strongest military force in Handan City.

If Pingyuanjun does what Zhao Kuo thinks, then whether it is Lu Buwei or Zhao Ping, they will be Pingyuanjun's best deputy and sharp blade in his hand.

If Pingyuanjun has no patience in his heart, then Lu Buwei and Zhao Ping will continue to implement Zhao Kuo's will instead of Pingyuanjun.

In a short period of time, Zhao Kuo has made all-round arrangements for his departure, which is a real killing decision.

Obviously, the rapid progress of the Qin army in Chu made Zhao Kuo have to speed up his pace......
