Handan.

It was another very tense and serious military meeting in front of the Imperial Palace.

Zhao Dangang sat on the main seat, looked at the ministers of Zhao State in front of him, and said in a very calm tone: "Pingyuan Jun, let me inform you of the battle situation in the past few days." ”

Compared with the last expression, this time Zhao Dan's expression was obviously a lot more relaxed.

Zhao Sheng, the Plains Monarch who was ordered to report the situation, also showed a smile on his face, and told the information he had recently obtained to several important ministers of the Zhao State in front of him.

After all, these ministers have their own things to be busy with every day, especially now that the war is extremely busy, and they have no time to care about the war situation every day.

"Let's talk about the Qi side first, since the defeat of General Lian Po, the people of Qi did not have any attempt to cross the river, but pursued General Lian Po to Liaocheng, and now Liaocheng has also been surrounded."

Having said that, the other ministers of Zhao State present did not have any strange expressions, only Yu Xin asked: "Liaocheng has not been captured yet, right?" ”

Zhao Sheng smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, this Lian Po obviously lost the battle, why did one or two put on a calm posture?

However, Zhao Sheng still said: "Liaocheng was not breached, but Dr. Qi Guoping led a partial division to break through Dong'e. ”

Zhao Dan pondered for a long time and said: "As long as Liaocheng can delay the Qi people for a while, although General Lian Po was taken advantage of by the enemy's tricks, the widow still believes that he can hold Liaocheng." Now the focus is still on the direction of Wei, does Pang Xuan have any good news? ”

As soon as these words came out, many ministers of Zhao State present cast expectant glances at Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng smiled bitterly, and after a while, he said: "Back to the king, the battlefield of Wei is still in the midst of fierce battles. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the entire hall showed a look of disappointment on their faces.

Yu Xin snorted coldly and said, "The king had already issued a strict order seven days ago, telling Pang Xuan to break through as soon as possible, but now? It's just a waste of the 150,000 main forces under his command! ”

In the past, Zhao Sheng had always tried his best to defend Pang Xin's accusations, but at this moment he opened his mouth but did not say anything.

Zhao Dan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, Yu Qing doesn't have to dwell on this matter, Pang Qing's chief general was appointed by a widow, and the widow believes that he can be qualified for this position and defeat the Wei people!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Dan seemed to emphasize his words, and said one more sentence: "It's only been two months!" ”

Yes, it's only been two months, but it's already too long for the current Zhao Kingdom.

If it was before, Pang Xuan could have used his troops slowly, steadily advanced and defeated the Wei people with an upright army, and Zhao Dan could not afford to wait

According to common sense, a country like Wei, especially in the current situation where Wei is doing its best, as long as it can defeat the Wei people within a year, it is enough to satisfy Zhao Dan.

But what Zhao Guo needs most now is time, so let alone a year, even if it is two months, Zhao Dan can't bear it.

The atmosphere in the main hall instantly froze.

Zhao Sheng coughed and continued: "Let's talk about the Korean side next, in the current battlefield of Shangdang County, Ju Xin and Xu Li have achieved a certain advantage. Although Jin Huang still occupies the old pass and Changping pass, the county seat of the eldest son has been recaptured by our army. Judging from the current situation, it should be difficult for South Koreans to set foot in the Beishangdang Basin again. ”

After Zhao Sheng's words, the coagulation atmosphere brought about by the unfavorable battle situation of the Wei State just now instantly eased a lot, and the faces of everyone present more or less relaxed.

You must know that at the beginning, this battlefield of Shangdang County was the battlefield that the decision-makers of the Zhao State present were most worried about.

But judging from the current situation, this battlefield that was once the most worrying has become the safest battlefield now.

In stark contrast, General Lian Po, who originally thought that he would win without a doubt and at least be able to draw a tie, suffered a big loss at the hands of the Qi people and almost wiped out the entire army.

It can be seen that every war is actually starting from scratch, and no matter how brilliant the previous record is, the opponent should not be underestimated.

Zhao Dan finished sighing in his heart, and said: "To be honest, General Ju Xin's performance this time was very unexpected. Passing on the widow's order, the officer was reinstated and continued to cooperate with General Xu Li to command all the troops in Shangdang County to fight against the Koreans. As for the other meritorious soldiers, they will be rewarded separately after the end of the war. ”

Ju Xin was originally a lieutenant general of the Northern Army of the Central Army of Zhao State, and now the reinstatement of the official is equivalent to entering the high-level military of Zhao State again.

Everyone present did not have any opinion on Zhao Dan's decision, after all, keeping the credit of Shangdang County was indeed enough to eliminate all dissent.

It seemed that under the influence of the news just now, the whole atmosphere instantly became much more lively, and Zhao Dan continued to ask: "Then what is the situation on the battlefield of the Qin State now?" ”

Zhao Sheng said: "In terms of Hedong County, Lecheng has now firmly held Anyi, although the Qin people have obtained half of Hedong County, but they should not have a way to take Anyi." As for Li Mu's words, then the situation is not clear. ”

Just like the previous two times, Li Mu carried out the task of harassing and fighting behind enemy lines, in this era when there were no satellites and radio communications, it was simply impossible to know the movements of Li Mu's troops fighting behind enemy lines, which the monarchs and ministers of Zhao Guo who were present were used to it.

As the saying goes, once it is born and twice cooked, Li Mu is the third time, so everyone is more assured.

It's impossible for Lian Po to have an accident, and Li Mu will also have an accident, right?

After saying these news, Zhao Sheng raised his voice slightly, the smile on his face began to become rich, and he said to everyone present: "There is another good news to tell you today, that is, the Yan people have sent troops two days ago and started to attack the Qi Kingdom. ”

As soon as Zhao Sheng's words came out, the whole atmosphere finally began to become completely active.

Yan Guo's dispatch of troops was something that Zhao Guo had been looking forward to for a long time.

In terms of the strength of the Yan State, it is actually not a force that is enough to change the situation of the war, but the dispatch of troops by the Yan State can make the Qi people have some scruples, so the Qi people cannot put all their forces on the side of the Zhao State, so as to share some pressure for the Zhao State.

And although Yan Guo is indeed weak, but after all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, if Yan Guo also joins the ranks of attacking Zhao State, then Zhao Guo's trouble will naturally become even greater.

Now Yan Guo not only did not cause any trouble for Zhao Guo, but joined Zhao Guo's side, and this coming and going was a big profit for Zhao Guo's benefit.

If it weren't for this, Zhao Dan wouldn't have handed over Wuyang City so happily.

After hearing the news, Zhao Dan also breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he was about to say more, but suddenly closed his mouth again.

The reason why this was so was because Zhao Dan suddenly saw Mao Sui hurriedly walking in from the door of the main hall with an urgent report in his hand.

According to common sense, if Mao Sui can appear in such a hurry, then it must mean that a major change has occurred on the battlefield somewhere.

This made Zhao Dan's heart beat violently, and many thoughts suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Could it be that Pang Xuan won the victory? Or is there any progress made on the Qin side? God forbid, it's better not to have some news of defeat. ”

The recent battle situation is really tangled, so much so that Zhao Dan has the idea of hugging God's thighs.

Thinking about it, Mao Sui got closer, Zhao Dan stared at Mao Sui's face carefully, and saw a little excitement on Mao Sui's face.

Zhao Dan seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

Mao Sui strode in front of Zhao Dan, and said to Zhao Dan: "King, good news, good news, the people of Chu have sent troops!" ”

"The people of Chu have sent troops?" Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment, and then a smile immediately appeared on his face.

It is very interesting to say that the reason for this great war was caused by the war between the Chu State and the Wei State, but the war has been fought for almost two months now, and the Chu State has not sent a single soldier.

For this, Zhao Dan is undoubtedly very angry.

As early as when the war had just begun, Zhao Dan had already sent an envoy and demanded in harsh terms that Chu Wangyuan must immediately send troops to fight.

However, due to the foresight of Chu Wangyuan, the state of Chu has not sent troops, resulting in the state of Zhao has always been in a situation of fighting alone.

Moreover, due to the subsequent betrayal of the Koreans, the road between Zhao and the capital of Chu was completely blocked, and Zhao Dan could not continue to send envoys to urge the king of Chu.

To tell the truth, Zhao Dan was already mentally prepared to finish this battle without the Chu State, but what he never expected was that under such circumstances, the people of the Chu State would send troops again.

Zhao Dan took over the emergency military situation in Mao Sui's hand with some excitement, and then the whole person's brows were completely relaxed, and he said to the several ministers of Zhao State who were looking forward to it in front of him: "Zhuqing, the people of Chu have now officially invaded the territory controlled by Wei!" ”

As soon as Zhao Dan said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly climbed to the top.

Zhao Sheng, who was excited, even smashed his fist directly on the table, and said: "If this is the case, then the battlefield of Wei should be able to break through soon!" ”

Regarding Zhao Sheng's opinion, everyone in the hall agreed.

After the state of Chu sent troops to attack the state of Wei, the state of Wei, which had already sent almost all of its troops to fight Pang Xuan, would instantly fall into passivity.

Because Wei no longer has any decent troops to stop the attack of the Chu people.

In the excited and enthusiastic conversation of the ministers, Zhao Dan breathed a long sigh of relief.

No one knows how much psychological pressure he has borne in those unpredictable nights in the past, and even stayed up all night for a lot of time.

And now, with the successive dispatch of troops by Chu and Yan, the most difficult moment of this war seems to have passed.

This was the first time since the start of the war that Zhao Dan felt that victory was so close to himself and Zhao Guo.
