Huaiguo, Jinling.

After some cultivation, Prince Luo has recovered. This time, he used the Mandate of Heaven artifact to shorten his life span by ten years, but he also gained great prestige and was able to participate in state affairs.

Wang Chong looked at the information that the secret guard had just passed back in his hand, and said with a smile: "The secret guard's plan in the Wei State has succeeded. This King Wei is really a seed of infatuation, and he has done this for Longyangjun, and the widow is really curious, how beautiful is this Longyangjun. ”

"It is said that the world praises his appearance as better than Xizi, if he really has the appearance of an ancestor, it is normal for King Wei to have such actions." Prince Luo sighed slightly, thinking about how graceful King Wei Wen was back then, leading the Wei State all the way to rise to become a first-class power, but as a result, the descendants were not filial, and the Wei State slipped into the current ghostly appearance.

"If future generations do not fight, even if the ancestors leave a great foundation, future generations will not be able to keep it." Wang Chong shook his head and said.

"You must always remind yourself, and at the same time strengthen the education of future generations, otherwise today's Wei State will be tomorrow's Huai State!"

"Yes!" The children of the public office in the main hall responded one after another.

"Although the Wei State is already a fish on the chopping board, it can't be swallowed yet, how is the situation of the Zhao State and the Qin State?"

"The Qin State is still the same, Qin Wangji still trusts Bai Qi very much, and at the same time, the Prime Minister of the Qin State also supports it, and it is difficult to separate from each other." The dark guard next to him said respectfully.

"Qin Wangji is so enduring." Wang Chong said.

"Your Majesty, Qin Wangji is indeed a generation of Ming Jun, but his character is also flawed, if the Qin State has been in a difficult situation, Qin Wangji will always support Bai Qi so much, but if the Qin State is prosperous, Bai Qi will not be happy.

Qin Wangji was a proton in Zhao State, but he didn't care about the slaves who followed him, he swore that if he gave these people a prominent position, now these people don't know where they died.

This person can share weal and woe, but not wealth, fortunate and unkind, once threatened him, he will inevitably turn his face and be ruthless, and it is difficult to separate now. ”

Wang Chong nodded and said: "Bo is fortunate and unkind, and he is good at forbearance, and at the same time ruthless, if he was born a hundred years early, it will not be easy for my Huai Kingdom to develop and grow to this day." If this kind of character wants to be separated, there is a chance that Qin Wangji will also choose to endure it. ”

"Let's deal with Zhao first, and when Wei and Zhao are all annexed, Huai will surround Qin, and then Qin will not be able to make any waves even if it is a great ability, and when the time comes, it can also directly carry out Qin from the north, and then Qin will be a fish in a net and a bird in a cage."

"Wang, compared to Qin Wangji, King Zhao is much simpler, suspicious, short-sighted, easy to be bewitched, and greedy and lustful, our evaluation of him is not as good as King Li, King You, these years Zhao has such a prosperous foundation laid by his father King Hui, plus Lian Po, Zhao Hao, Lin Xiangru and a group of virtuous ministers and famous generals, this is today's Zhao State."

"Then open the gap from him!" Wang Chong continued.

As for Yan Guo, Wang Chong didn't take him to heart at all, Yan Guo used to grow in the hands of King Yan Zhao and Le Yi, but after Le Yi left, Yan Guo plummeted, and it was not worth paying attention to at all.

"Your Majesty, if you want to separate the Zhao Kingdom, you still need the cooperation of the country."

"The widow has ordered men to cooperate with you."

The Qin army was defeated and had already recoiled. Shangdang County fell into the hands of Huai State, which was the highest place in the surrounding area, and could attack not only Qin, but also Zhao, which is why Zhao was reluctant to give up Shangdang.

Extremely thick dark clouds covered the sky, and there was no light in the black. But the fighting on the earth did not stop. The soldiers of Huai and Zhao were constantly fighting.

Although the Huai State did not carry out a large-scale attack on Zhao, the skirmishes of hundreds of people never disappeared. Zhao garrisoned heavy troops on the border and confronted Huai, but repeatedly lost in the strangulation of small corps.

Dozens of casualties today, more than a dozen tomorrow, and the cumulative casualties of the Zhao army in a month are as many as thousands.

Zhao Guo could not afford such a large casualty, but in the face of such casualties, the main general Lian Po retreated again and again, abandoned several cities one after another, and withdrew the army to defend in the tall cities and passes that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. In this way, the casualties of the Zhao army were reduced, but the Huai army became more unscrupulous, and even went around the city to burn the farmland of the Zhao state.

Such a small-scale war made Zhao State miserable, and at the same time, the court also had a lot of complaints about Lian Po. But in fact, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao did not know that the Huai army attacked strongly, and the actual losses were greater, but they were covered up by the Huai State, in this case, there were some rumors in Handan City, saying that Lian Po was afraid of Huai like a tiger because of the defeat of Changping last time, and he was no longer suitable for leading troops to fight.

It's just that although there are many rumors, there are Lin Xiangru to protect it, and Zhao Guochaotang still has trust in Lian Po.

In fact, Zhao was defeated by Huai on the battlefield, not because Lian Po could command and lead the army, but because the overall strength of Zhao was backward. Huai Guo transferred the elite rattan armor army in the country, and Zhao Guo because of the defeat of Changping, the elite suffered heavy losses, and now there are not many elite soldiers, and the weapons and equipment are not as good as Huai Guo, after Huai Guo occupies the party, occupies a favorable position.

No matter how hard Lian Po tries, but under the suppression of absolute strength, even Lian Po is helpless.

Lian Po is also a general in terms of command and strategy, and there is not much difference between Xu Chao in terms of personal ability alone, between the best. The direction of expertise is different, but because of the gap in national strength between Huai and Zhao, Lian Po is powerless to return to the sky.

In the face of King Zhao's reprimand, Lian Po's bullish temper was also committed, and he complained directly to the left and right: "When the manpower is poor, if Sun Wuzi and Wu Qi are alive, with the elite army, they may be able to face the Huai State and win the battle, or even recapture the party, I am shallow in my learning, and I can't do it!" ”

These words soon reached the ears of King Zhao, and when he heard Lian Po's words, King Zhao was furious, and immediately wanted to take back Lian Po's right to lead troops.

And at this time, many people in the court began to recommend Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun Zhao Hao. Zhao Kuo's name is also very famous in Zhao State, the main reason is that in the deduction of military strength, no one in Zhao State can beat Zhao Kuo.

Lian Po and Zhao Hao were both defeated at his hands, and Zhao Kuo became famous because of this, and was even known as the military god of the younger generation of Zhao State. However, although Zhao Kuo was invincible in the calculation of the military map, he had never led his troops into battle.

Therefore, although Zhao Kuo's name as the 'god of the army' is loud, he can only bluff the layman who has not led the army. There is a world of difference between actually leading troops and deducing troops. Huaiguo's secret guard's idea was to squeeze out Lian Po, the old Jiang, and replace him with Zhao Kuo.
