Chapter 154, Zhao Yan: The widow has the prime minister Guo Kai, why worry about Zhao Guo not prospering!
As the so-called fear of something, Li Mu was worried about the interference of the Qin State, and the next day the Qin State saw that Li Mu was already in a deep quagmire, so he announced that he would attack Zhao and save Yan.
Chen Bing has been in the party for a long time Wang Jian and Wang Qi soldiers divided into two ways, attacking Zhao State, Duke Qi took Wang Ben to sit in the town, Wang Jian and Yang Duanhe directly took Yan and, Wang Qi and Li Xin attacked Yecheng, for a time Qin State 200,000 soldiers and horses divided into two ways to go out.
When Zhao Guo knew the news, some ministers asked Zhao Wangyan to transfer back to Li Mu to meet the Qin army, Zhao Wangyan saw such a large-scale attack by the Qin army, and the first choice at the moment was to transfer Li Mu back, but Guo Kai was unwilling, Li Mu and he were mortal enemies, if Li Mu was transferred back to hold the army and repel the Qin army again, he was afraid that he would also be cleaned up by Li Mu by the way, plus the people who collected the net brought some treasures, Guo Kai immediately entered the palace.
"Why is Aiqing here?" Zhao Wangyan looked at Guo Kai, who was begging to see him late at night, and said with a sigh.
Breaking into the palace late at night can be sentenced to death no matter which country you are in, but this matter depends on the person, Guo Kai's status in Zhao Wangyan's heart is like Ziyou's status in Yingzheng's heart, or even higher, whether it is feelings or career, Guo Kai can be said to be Zhao Wangyan's double mentor, Zhao Wangyan is still a son who is proficient in misconduct, eating, drinking, prostituting and anger, Guo Kai has no less ideas in Zhao Wangyan's bullying of men and women.
Later, Zhao Wangyan fell in love with a prostitute, that is, the queen of prostitution, and clamored with his father to marry the queen of prostitution, but Zhao Wang disliked the shame and disagreed, but Zhao Wangyan was really emotional, and cried with Guo Kai that this is love, Guo Kai also lived up to expectations and gave a very good idea, that is, let Zhao Wangyan be the king of Zhao, who can oppose this matter at that time?
So in Guo Kai's money to open the way, treasure to buy the name, Zhao Wangyan from a nonsense waste son, transformed into an upright future heir to the throne, after the death of the old Zhao Wang, Zhao Wangyan ascended the throne, Guo Kai also became the Xiangguo of Zhao, now Zhao Wangyan can have a double harvest in career and love, and Guo Kai's supporter and mentor is indispensable, so Zhao Wangyan is extremely important and believes in Guo Kai.
"Woe to you, my lord!" Guo Kai's tone suddenly raised and shouted.
"I know, isn't it just about the attack of the Qin State? The widow was ready to let Li Mu withdraw to resist the Qin army. Zhao Wangyan said with a sigh of anger, he was still very confident in Li Mu and Zhao Wangyan.
"It's not Qin Jun, it's Li Mu, the king may not know yet, now the people of Zhao State regard Li Mu as a savior, his prestige has surpassed that of the king in Zhao State, and now there is also a rumor in HD City, does the king want to know?" Guo Kai looked at Zhao Wangyan and said.
"What rumors?" Zhao Wangyan asked curiously.
"The rumor that Li Mu is going to rebel, the people of Zhao regard Li Mu as a savior, and the people want it, I heard that Li Mu is dissatisfied with the news that the king let him attack Yan State, and even privately sent troops to the grassland to destroy two tribes to vent, if Li Mu comes back to defeat the Qin army this time, then the prestige of the king and the clan in Zhao State will be surpassed by Li Mu." Guo Kaisheng said with tears in his eyes.
"This"
Before Zhao Wangyan's words were finished, Guo Kai continued
"I know very well that the king values Li Mu, Li Mu is indeed talented and can resist the Qin army, Li Mu is loyal to the king, but this is just the current Li Mu is loyal to the king, and you don't see the Tu'an Jia in the past? The king's heart is the most difficult to guess, at the beginning, Qin State Wu'an Jun Bai Qi was also loyal to King Qin Zhaoxiang, but Bai Qi's reputation has surpassed that of King Qin, a general is not afraid of rebellion, he is afraid of the ability to rebel! ”
"But. . . Li Mu is my Zhao Guo's reliance now! Zhao Wangyan continued, he was also jealous of Li Mu's prestige, but Li Mu was the biggest hole card for Zhao Guo's stability now, and it was also the capital that he could continue to be mediocre now.
"The king, the minister also knows that Li Mu is the top priority to me and Zhao Guo, but what the minister is worried about is that after Li Mu defeats the Qin army again, Li Mu's prestige in the hearts of the people will surpass that of the king, and I also ask the king to consider it carefully, and the lessons of the predecessors must be borrowed." Guo Kai said.
"Then what does Aiqing want to do?" Zhao Wangyan asked hesitantly, Li Mu's prestige is indeed a big headache for him, although Li Mu is loyal now, it does not mean that Li Mu will be the same in the future, people's hearts will change, if it were not for Zhao Guo to be inseparable from Li Mu, Zhao Wangyan would not be so relieved Li Mu.
"Minister, there is indeed a way, not only can you not worry about Li Mu's prestige surpassing the king, but also you can retreat from the Qin army." Guo Kai wiped away his tears and said, he knew that Zhao Wangyan was covered.
"Aiqing said quickly." Zhao Wangyan said.
"The court talks about checks and balances, Li Mu is now in the limelight in the army, but this does not have to mean that there are no other generals in my Zhao State who can fight, the veteran Pang Nuan is still there, and the minister heard that although the Qin State looks down on the six countries, it still has respect for General Pang Nuan.
Although the last time the joint column failed, but General Pang Nuan's surprise attack frightened the Qin State, if it was not for someone leaking secrets, I am afraid that the Qin State would not be afraid, so the minister proposed to let General Pang Nuan lead troops to resist the Qin army.
This will not only allow Li Mu to hold on to the territory occupied by Yan State, but also prevent Li Mu's prestige from continuing to increase," Guo Kai said.
"But General Pang Nuan is seriously ill now, isn't it good to rashly let him put on armor and go into battle?" Zhao Wangyan said with some worry, Pang Nuan had resigned some time ago and went home to recuperate, and he still attached great importance to this veteran Zhao Wangyan.
"You only need to let General Pang Nuan lead the overall situation, and let the general be the vanguard, so that there is no need for General Pang Nuan to personally put on armor and go into battle, and with General Pang Nuan leading the whole army, even if he can't defeat the Qin army, he can also block the Qin army, as the vanguard of Hu Yu also has merit, the king will be promoted one or two, Hu Yu must be moved, and swear allegiance to the king, and then there will be someone in the army who can balance Li Mu and prevent Li Mu from continuing to grow bigger." Guo Kai continued.
"Okay, Aiqing is worthy of being the prime minister of my Zhao country, and his wisdom is outstanding, so that the widow can have no worries, with Aiqing assisting the widow, why worry about Zhao Guo's prosperity!" Zhao Wangyan patted the table and got up and said, Zhao Wangyan looked at Guo Kai's eyes full of joy, he knew that Guo Kai would not let himself down, this plan was even his mind, he had Guo Kai in his own literature, Li Mu in Wu, why worry about Zhao Guo not Xing.
The next day, Zhao Wangyan ordered Pang Nuan to take command, and the general Hu was the vanguard to resist the Qin army, Li Mu continued to stalemate with Yan Guo, Li Mu looked at the will of King Zhao, although he was a little worried in his heart, but thought that Pang Nuan should not be defeated too quickly in Hu Xuan, even if he could not defeat the Qin army, it was more than enough to hold the city, as long as he solved the Yan State, it was still too late to return to Pang Nuan.
"Someone, pass on my general's order, gather soldiers and horses, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Yan army." Li Mu said in a deep voice.
After Wang Jian heard that it was Pang Nuan who went into battle and the vanguard was Hu Xuan, he immediately understood how to change his tactics, and he knew that a waste who was a little stronger than Yan Yi, as for Pang Nuan, although Pang Nuan was old and still injured, Wang Jian still didn't dare to underestimate this veteran, so he was ready to pester Pang Nuan, let Wang Qi and Li Xin continue to attack, and forced Pang Nuan to divide his troops to resist Wang Qi and Li Xin.
After Wang Jian made a tactical plan, he sent someone to hand over the request for a change in tactics to the Duke of Qin, who immediately agreed, and the generals of the Qin State had a very high degree of autonomy in foreign campaigns, and there was no need to wait for the orders of the court to change their tactics.
After Qin and Zhao started the war, Yang Duanhe, who was originally like a bamboo, and even the three cities stopped the attack, preparing to transfer troops to attack Xuyang, Yang Duanhe's deputy general was a little puzzled, they had already taken the three cities around him, as long as the last city was laid, the whole Zhao country would be divided into two halves, and the Zhao army would not be able to connect end to end, so that Zhao could only watch Qin destroy Han without any way.
"General Wang Jian wants to confront He Pang Nuan in Yan and swallow the 200,000 troops of Zhao State." Yang Duanhe said.
The geographical location of Yan He is self-evident, Pang Nuan does not come to support, then he can only watch Qin take Yan He, since then Zhao State has been cut off, now the Qin army has taken Yan and the three surrounding cities, if you take the last city, Yan He is a Jedi, but according to Pang Nuan's caution, he would rather give up Yan and choose to fight with the Qin army after the field, wait until the Qin army retreats and then fight Yan He, and will not risk and drill into the Jedi.
Therefore, Wang Jian asked Yang Duanhe to give up attacking the last city, turned around Luyang, and made a decision to take Luyang and Wang Qi and Li Xin to converge, so as to merge and besiege HD, forcing Pang Nuan to divide his troops, part of the support of Yanhe, part of the support of Luyang, and then let people drag Wang Qi and Li Xin who attacked Yecheng and Anyang.
In this way, even if Pang Nuan knows Wang Qian's intentions, he can only honestly drill into the trap of confronting Wang Qian, because as long as Yan He is still there, Pang Nuan can transfer troops from Jinyang to support, even if Yang Duanhe takes Luyang and Wang Qi to converge and surround HD, Pang Nuan can still support HD from the rear, and flank Wang Qi and Yang Duanhe before and after, and more importantly, confront Wang Qian, Pang Nuan can wait for Li Mu's support.
So this trap Pang Nuan has to jump if he doesn't jump, Pang Nuan has no choice, because he knows that Hu Nuan is not Yang Duanhe's opponent, and he can't stop Yang Duanhe from taking Luyang, rather than sending people to the head, it is better to hold the rear, gradually drag the Qin army, and wait until Li Mu returns to help, if he gives up Yanhe, as long as the Qin army shrinks and fights a protracted war with Zhao State, Zhao State will lose, and the Battle of Changping will be repeated again.
As Wang Jian expected, after Yang Duanhe turned to attack Luyang, Pang Nuan did not hesitate to enter Yanhe, and took this place as a base camp and began to confront Wang Qian.
At this time, the Zhao army that supported Luyang was ambushed by the Qin army.
"How many waves of support of the Zhao army is this?" Yang Duanhe asked, looking at the corpse below.
Yang Duanhe, who was supposed to storm Luyang, was doing the thing of encircling and reinforcing the point, on the one hand, he made a fierce attack on Luyang, and couldn't wait to join forces with Wang Qi to attack HD, so that the HD side continued to urge Pang Nuan to support Luyang, to stop Yang Duanhe and Wang Qi, originally Pang Nuan could still stabilize the HD court, because he had to confront Wang Jian of the main force of the Qin army, it was not easy to divide the troops, although HD was afraid of another HD defense battle, but because of the importance of the Yan and the fact that Luyang and Yecheng had not been lost, HD was still more assured, and it was not too much to urge Pang Nuan.
"It's the fifth time, there are about 5,000 people, this is the largest number of support from the Zhao army." The adjutant general wiped the blood stains on his face and said.
"Pang Nuan deserves to be a famous general in the world." Yang Duanhe sighed, Pang Nuan must have known that they wanted to encircle and send reinforcements, so every time they sent a small number of troops, they were all trying their luck to see if they could support Luyang, and the first thing they did every time they saw an ambush was to run away, without the slightest hesitation.
Yang Duanhe looked at the corpses of less than a thousand people below, and suddenly raised his head and said
"You take people to continue to ambush the Zhao army, I will leave you with 2,000 people, the Zhao army will not choose to forcibly break through, you hide the banner in the mountains and forests, make the appearance of tens of thousands of people, deter the Zhao army, I will lead people to take Luyang."
"No!" The lieutenant said.
After Wang Jian got Yang Duanhe's request to attack Luyang directly, he agreed after thinking about it, and said to the deputy general beside him
"Yang Duanhe is brave and strategic, if it weren't for the systematic training of soldiers, otherwise Yang Duanhe would be the first among the young and strong people of my Qin Kingdom."
"Is the general so optimistic about General Yang?" The deputy general asked, there are a lot of capable people in the Qingzhuang faction of Qin, Wang Ben, Li Xin, Shejian, Su Jiao, Feng Wuxue, Tu Sui, Ren Huan, and Qiang Xuan, although these people are of different levels, they are all people who can fight, and it is still possible to command an army, among which Yang Duanhe is the oldest, and he is also the best in terms of combat record, and he is the most convincing, but if you say the first, it is really uncertain, Wang Ben, Li Xin, and Feng Wuxue are all about the same as Yang Duanhe.
"Yes, has there been any information from Yan He recently?" Wang Jian asked, since the confrontation with Pang Nuan, Pang Nuan has been careful to the extreme, not giving Wang Jian any chance, just not sending troops to fight Wang Qian, just waiting for Li Mu to come back.
If Li Mu came back, although the Qin army could not be said to be defeated, it would not be able to defeat the Zhao State as expected, so Wang Jian was constantly looking for opportunities to lure Pang Nuan into battle.
"Our spies reported that the vanguard of the Zhao army was rejected because of repeated requests for war, and complained a lot about Pang Nuan, saying that many times our Qin army showed flaws, and it was clear that it could be killed, but because Pang Nuan's old courage was gone, he didn't dare to attack, and he mostly complained about Pang Nuan between his words, and he also drank in the army to kill his sorrows, but was discovered by Pang Nuan, and beat eighty military sticks in accordance with military law." Said the adjutant general.
"Oh!?" Wang Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he beckoned to the deputy general and said, "Come here." ”
After Wang Jian whispered in the ear of the deputy general, the deputy general left the big tent directly with Wang Jian in front of him.
The next day, Pang Nuan stood at the head of the city and looked at the camp of the Qin army below, and found that the camp of the Qin army began to be a little scattered.
"What has Qin Jun been doing recently?" Pang Nuan asked.
"General, our spies came to report that the Qin army was storming Luyang, and Anyang had been breached, and Yecheng was also in danger, our spies found that there was smoke and dust in the Qin army camp last night, as if someone was evacuating, after the army we sent to support Luyang last night withdrew, some of them saw a stream of Qin troops moving in the direction of Luyang, about 5,000 people." Said the adjutant general.
"It must be to support Yang Duanhe, the goal of the Qin army is very clear, they want to besiege HD, Wang Qian's purpose is to hold us back, pretend to be suspicious, so that we don't dare to act rashly, if I want to say just wait a few more days, and when the main force of the Qin army is evacuating, storm the Qin army camp." Hu muttered.
But Pang Nuan just glanced at Hu Yu coldly, didn't say anything and left the city directly, Hu Nuan looked at the back of Pang Nuan leaving, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and disdain, he felt that Pang Nuan was getting older and more timid, and he no longer had the courage to lead the troops directly into Xianyang alone, Pang Nuan was old, and the army of Zhao State should be taken over by a young man like him.
There are also in the evening
