Chapter 688: Candidates for the Main General (1st Update)
On the second day after returning to Longtai, Zhao Dan gathered seven important ministers of Zhao State and began a court meeting.
This court discussion is actually very important, because it is related to which country the army of Zhao will choose as the target of conquest in the next war that is about to begin.
Interestingly, this time there was not much controversy about the discussion of the object of conquest.
As soon as Zhao Dan came up, he bluntly threw out the conclusion: "The widow wants to conquer the Wei State, I don't know what the Qing thinks?" ”
The matter is here, Wei Wangyu refused the order of the alliance leader Zhao Dan in the just-concluded alliance, which undoubtedly constituted a great provocation to Zhao Dan and Zhao Guo.
As the leader of the Three Jin Dynasty Alliance and the current overlord of the world, Zhao Guo must press down the rising bird of Wei State, otherwise if a casual little brother dares to disobey orders, how can Zhao Guo, the eldest brother, continue to be the eldest brother?
It was precisely because of this that as soon as Zhao Dan's voice fell, all the ministers of Zhao immediately agreed.
Among them, the voice of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was the loudest, after all, the last time this king of the plains was the main attack on the Zhao country, and he even did not hesitate to bet because of this.
Judging from the results, Zhao Sheng undoubtedly won the bet this time, which naturally made him quite complacent in his heart.
So as soon as the words fell, Zhao Sheng immediately spoke: "I don't know who the king wants to use as the main general this time to attack Wei?" ”
As soon as Zhao Sheng's topic came out, the entire hall immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Dan, waiting for his answer.
For everyone present, they were full of confidence at the moment, feeling that it was impossible for Wei to pose any threat to Zhao at all.
Because of this, this errand to attack Wei is definitely an out-and-out beauty difference, a good thing to reap credit for nothing.
In fact, judging from today's situation, even those who are not convinced must admit that any country can hardly be the opponent of Zhao if it only relies on its own strength now.
At least two or three countries must join forces to have any hope of confronting Zhao.
This is not only because of the strong strength of Zhao's army, nor only because Zhao has a powerful army with such a strong impact as armored cavalry, which makes the entire continent fearful, but also because Zhao has many famous generals that are difficult to match in other countries.
The first thing to talk about is naturally Wu Xinjun Lianpo, the first person in the Zhao military today.
This veteran has been invincible since his debut, and he blocked the sharp offensive of the famous general Wu Anjun Bai Qi of Qin State in the crucial Battle of Changping, which made Zhao Guo wait for the moment when he could turn defeat into victory.
In addition, Lian Po sent troops many times, and led the Zhao army to victory after victory as the main general in the defeat of Wei, Qi and later against Qin.
It can be said that in the minds of today's people, Lian Po is a well-deserved number one general in the world, and does not think of others.
But what's even more terrifying is that Zhao Guo not only has one Lian Po, but also other famous generals.
Pang Xuan, the No. 2 person in the Zhao military, belongs to the representative of the late bloomer, debuted in his sixties, and then defeated the enemies of Yan, Qi and Xiongnu in previous wars, and led by the soldiers and civilians of Zhao in the crucial defense of Handan, the army and people of Zhao State were united in taking Handan steadily, ushering in a great reversal of the entire battlefield situation.
If it weren't for the fact that Lian Po's light was too strong. Then Pang Xuan is actually qualified to compete for the throne of the world's number one general.
Speaking of which, Lian Po and Pang Xuan belong to the older generation of generals, and they will fade out soon due to age and other reasons, which is actually nothing.
But the problem is that Zhao's new generation of generals is also unmatched.
If nothing else, let's talk about the famous Li Mu.
The young Zhao general rose like a comet, defeated the Huns several times, and twice went south to Guanzhong to make the hinterland of the Qin state restless, and even attacked Xianyang, the capital of the Qin state, and flooded the city of Daliang.
What's more, Li Mu is still very young today, he is only in his early thirties, that is, about half of Lian Po and Pang Ran.
This means that at least in the next twenty or thirty years, the entire land of China and other countries will tremble because of the name Li Mu.
Li Mu is undoubtedly the first person among the new generation of generals.
Most people see him as the most powerful candidate to succeed Lian Po as the world's No. 1 player in the future.
In addition to Li Mu, the younger generation of Zhao Kuo is also not to be underestimated.
Although the current Zhao Kuo has not yet reached the height of his father Ma Fujun Zhao Hao, whether it is the performance of the Tunliu defense battle in the Battle of Changping, or the outstanding performance in the Battle of Hedong County that followed, or the performance of the recent Xiongnu invasion of Zhao State in the Dingxi City counterattack, it is extremely outstanding.
It's just that because Zhao Kuo has never led an independent army to fight a big battle, and the scale of Zhao Kuo's battle is much smaller than Li Mu's, this makes Zhao Kuo not as famous as Li Mu.
What's more, Zhao Kuo once suffered a small defeat in the battle of Hedong County, and lost the aura of Li Mu's undefeated golden body.
Therefore, on the whole, today's Zhao Kuo is naturally a little deficient compared to Li Mu.
From the perspective of the entire land of China, the future military circle of Zhao State should be headed by Li Mu and supplemented by Zhao Kuo.
Li Mu and Zhao Kuo are likely to be the golden combination like Lian Po and Lecheng in the future.
As the saying goes, gold is easy to get, but it will be hard to find, and at the end of the Warring States Period, this world of great controversy is even more so.
Zhao Guo can have five generals of the old and new generations at one time, and any one of them is enough to make other countries covet famous generals, I have to say that this is indeed the place where God loves Zhao Guo.
Of course, everyone knows very well that the source of all this comes from Zhao Dan, the monarch of Zhao Guoguo, who has just passed the year of establishment and has only been on the throne for ten years.
If King Zhao Wuling is the true pioneer of Zhao State's hegemony, and King Zhao Huiwen is the defender of Zhao's hegemony, then Zhao Dan is the one who has made further progress in the ancestral foundation.
In Zhao Dan's generation, the Zhao State rose again, and it soared to suppress all the countries.
Under the rule of Zhao Dan, the national strength of Zhao was thriving, and there were many good generals and virtuous ministers, which fully proved how important a virtuous monarch is to the country in this era of human rule.
But no matter how virtuous a monarch is, he actually has his own troubles, and now Zhao Dan is facing such a happy trouble.
There are too many people under his command who can fight, which one should be the commander of this expedition against the Wei army?
Zhao Dan thought for a while, his eyes crossed everyone's eyes, and finally slowly spoke: "Regarding the candidate for the main general of this expedition to the Wei State, Zhu Qing can speak freely. ”
