Chapter 35: Breaking the Promise?
Compared with the hurried panic on the Korean side, Zhao Guo's side seemed extremely calm, and he didn't even have the intention of moving.
Zhao Palace.
The eighty-year-old veteran Pang Xuan is standing at the gate of the palace waiting, he has been standing here and waiting for two hours, his eyebrows are also showing a little tiredness, and his slightly cloudy eyes are a little confused and puzzled Looking at the palace gate, could it be that Zhao Wangyan really wants to make this old guy a treacherous person?
In order to persuade the five countries to join forces to conquer Qin, he traveled to various countries with his eighty-year-old body, selling this old face, and finally contributed to this matter.
I thought that I could defeat the Qin army, and no matter how bad it was, I would be able to recapture the cities and lands occupied by the Qin State.
But he never thought that the five countries were full of internal contradictions, and some people even betrayed the deployment map of the coalition army, so that the coalition army was attacked by the Qin army at night, and Huang Xie, the Chunshenjun of Chu State, was even more villainous, and he didn't tell the coalition army when he learned the information, and he ran away with the army of Chu alone.
That's right, really ran.
It wasn't until the coalition army was killed and retreated by the Qin army that everyone discovered that the army of Chu had long since disappeared.
At this point, the merger of the five kingdoms became a joke, except for taking back some cities and land, but did not get any valuable results.
Now, it was Qin Guo's turn to go berserk.
The first fire burned directly to South Korea, and now the little Korean brother is seeking rescue, but Zhao Wangyan is sick, and he can't even participate in the court meeting, without Zhao Wangyan's consent, how can the general Pang Xuan mobilize Zhao's army, not to mention the so-called rescue.
Guo Kai, the Xiangguo of Zhao State, was late when he heard the news, looked at Pang Xuan with a tired face, and couldn't help but step forward to persuade: "General, the king is in poor health, you should come back another day." ”
He felt that Pang Xuan had lived to be a dog at an age, and the king's meaning was so obvious, but he had to press step by step, didn't he force the king to use a knife on him?
Sending troops to rescue South Korea, can Zhao Guo get any benefits?
If this rescue caused Qin to attack Zhao, would South Korea rescue Zhao?
Ultimately.
As for taking the initiative, if there is no sufficient interest, how can Zhao Guo do that stupid thing, if not, how can Zhao Wang Yan send the eldest prince into Qin as a hostage, which is a kind of bowing in itself.
Fortunately, the result of the attempt was good, and the Qin State did not send troops to the Zhao State.
"Is the king really unwilling to send troops to rescue South Korea?"
Pang Xuan opened his dry lips, ignored Guo Kai, who was persuaded by him, and suddenly roared: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if Korea dies, Zhao Guoyan can survive alone, doesn't the king even understand such a simple truth?!" ”
"Bold! Pang Xuan, you are so bold, the king disregarded his past suspicions and promoted you to the general of Zhao State, you are how you repay the king? The king did not blame you for the failure of the Five Kingdoms, but now, you are persecuting the king so much, you still have a sense of shame! ”
Guo Kai changed his face in an instant, the protector was heartfelt, and pointed at Pang Xuan's nose and scolded angrily.
"The failure of the five countries is that the old man underestimated the selfishness of the countries, and the old man now finally understands the helplessness of Su Qin and others, if they want to defeat the Qin State, they can only succeed if they work together, and now South Korea is in danger, but Zhao Guo is standing by.
The king must have forgotten the Battle of Changping! ”
Pang Xuan still didn't pay attention to Guo Kai's doglegs, and shouted in a trembling voice, and even moved out of the Battle of Changping.
Guo Kai's face changed, he didn't expect Pang Xuan to dare to say it, he didn't even want his life.
It's not like that.
"Squeak."
At this moment, the gate of the palace was slowly opened, and the burly Zhao Wangyan walked out slowly wearing a big jacket, looking at Pang Xuan with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "The Battle of Changping, the general still remembers that battle, if it weren't for the fact that other countries stood by, how could Zhao State suffer such a big defeat!" ”
After speaking, he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Zhao Wangyan didn't expect Pang Xuan, an old thing, to be so tenacious, so he had to force him to come out and make his words clear.
Rescue South Korea?
The most worrying thing about the destruction of Korea is the Wei State, not the Zhao State, even if he wants to send troops to rescue, the Wei State should move first, the Wei State has not moved, why should the Zhao State go to this troubled water, he doesn't want to attract the firepower of the Qin State, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to watch from the wall.
In the Battle of Changping, other countries stood by and watched...... In that battle, it was not that Zhao was arrogant, and after offending all countries, other countries were naturally unwilling to rescue, not to mention, all countries also hoped that Qin and Zhao would lose and everyone would return to the same starting line.
No one expected that the Qin State would do Zhao Guo so badly.
Pang Xuan naturally didn't refute this, he just knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said, "Is the king really unwilling to send troops to rescue South Korea?" ”
"If the old general can persuade Wei to send troops, the widow will agree to send troops!"
Zhao Wangyan looked at Pang Xuan and said calmly, his attitude was obvious, regardless of whether South Korea lived or died.
Pang Xuan's lips trembled, I don't know if he was angry, or helpless, after a long time, he slowly untied the saber on his waist, and his originally straight back suddenly became a lot stiffer: "King, when the old man was planning to join forces, he promised the Korean Prime Minister to open his land and the alliance between the two countries, and the king also promised to do so, but now that he has broken the promise, the old man really has no face to continue to stay in Zhao State." ”
After speaking, he threw the sword in his hand on the ground, got up tremblingly, seemed to be drained of his energy in an instant, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the palace.
"The old general really wants to leave!"
Zhao Wangyan frowned and looked at Pang Xuan's departing back, and said in a deep voice.
Pang Xuan ignored it, his pace slow but firm.
Zhao Wangyan didn't speak again, and watched the other party leave, and after a long time, he said slowly: "The old general has worked hard, with a bounty of 1,000 taels and 300 pieces of cloth...... You can do it. ”
"No!"
Guo Kai replied, his eyes moved, and he asked: "King, the old general is stepping down, so who should take over his position as the general." ”
"Li Mu!"
Zhao Wangyan did not hesitate, and said in a deep voice, as if he had made a decision from the beginning.
Li Mu?!
Why Li Mu!
Guo Kai couldn't help but think a lot in his mind, because Li Mu had a very deep relationship with the eldest son Zhao Jia, and even to some extent, the other party had been Zhao Jia's teacher for a while.
