Chapter 292: Wei Wuji's Threat (Second Update)
As soon as Zhao Dan's words came out, the faces of the ministers of Zhao State in the Longtai Hall immediately showed surprised expressions.
Don't use the Central Army to fight?
But the problem is that now everyone knows that the most capable of fighting Zhao is the Central Army!
Without using the Central Army, can it really defeat the Yan State?
Even Yu Xin, Zhao Dan's most loyal henchman, couldn't help but speak: "King, although the Yan Kingdom has gradually become stronger this year, and was defeated by the Zhao State last year, Yan Guo is one of the Seven Heroes after all, and its strength should not be underestimated." ”
Zhao Dan smiled slightly, stopped Yu Xin's words very confidently, and said: "The widow has decided that Pang Nuan, the lieutenant general of the Northern Army, will be the main general of the Yan State this time, and will lead the county soldiers of the five northern counties to send troops to Yan State. Don't worry, although the Yan State is strong, the northern sons of the widowed Zhao State are not weak at all, and there is a famous general like Pang Xuan leading the troops, this battle will definitely be won! ”
The expression on Zhao Dan's face was very firm when he spoke, and he looked confident.
As the so-called lion fights rabbits with all his strength, of course Zhao Dan will not underestimate any enemy, but as a time-traveler who is quite familiar with history, Zhao Dan feels that there is no need to look too highly at the strength of Yan Guo.
It is true that if Zhao State uses the troops of the five northern counties to go out to fight, it is naturally impossible to compare with the Central Army of Zhao State, but don't forget, when Zhao State sends troops, Yan State will definitely have a certain amount of chaos because of the competition for the position, and it will not be able to deal with Zhao State with all its might.
Moreover, Zhao Guo's attack on Yan State this time was not to attack the city and plunder the land, but to support Gongzi Ke, which can actually be regarded as above board from a legal point of view.
Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for hundreds of years, it is not uncommon for other countries to support a certain prince to ascend the throne, and Duke Qi Huan, Duke Wen of Jin and even Qin Wangji are all beneficiaries.
In fact, everyone has already formed a tacit understanding, in such a battle for the throne, most of the local forces should remain neutral, sit back and wait for those heirs competing for the throne to fight to the death, and finally recognize the winner as the new monarch.
Therefore, this time Zhao Guo's troops should not face the country's alluring troops of Yan State, but will only face the die-hard troops of Gongzi An and Rong Yan's side, which is not a lot of pressure.
Besides, Zhao Guo still has an important minister of Yan State like Le Jian as an internal response.
After Zhao Dan's words were explained, Zhao Sheng was finally convinced, and couldn't help but praise: "The king is so thoughtful, he can't be as good as the king." ”
Zhao Dan laughed, and the sentence "That's nature" almost burst out of his mouth.
Fortunately, Zhao Dan came to his senses in time, suppressed this inflated way of speaking, coughed heavily, and then continued to speak: "If Zhu Qing has no intention of objecting, then the way to deal with Yan Guo will be carried out in this way." ”
No objections were raised.
In fact, with Zhao Dan's decisions one after another, Zhao Guo has won one victory after another, and now Zhao Dan has encountered less and less opposition when discussing national affairs.
In many cases, although the ministers will also raise some doubts, but most of the time these doubts are difficult to turn into opposition, and they are finally persuaded by Zhao Dan.
Although Zhao Dan is not willing to be a one-word leader, in fact, Zhao Dan in the Zhao State at this moment has indeed reached a position similar to Qin Wangji's one-word in the Qin State.
This made Zhao Dan feel a little fluttery for a while.
Oh, I didn't expect the widow to be so good, even a wise king like Qin Wangji couldn't stop the brilliant light of the widow at all.
After being intoxicated for three seconds, Zhao Dan finally came to his senses and made a decision.
"Since this is the case, then from now on, we will immediately issue an order to the widow, so that the county soldiers in the five northern counties will immediately gather at the border of Yan and Zhao, with Pang Xuan, the general of the right army, as the main general, if Yan Wang Yan returns to the sky, he will immediately send troops into the territory of Yan State, and at the same time immediately issue a message to the entire Yan country, so that the people of Yan country understand that the widow just wants to support Gongzi Ke, not to take advantage of the danger of others, understand?"
The name of the first time when sending troops is still very important, if Yan Guo feels that the Zhao army is actually here to invade the land of Yan and kill the people of Yan State, then this war will not only be resisted by the Yan people, but also make Zhao State become very passive diplomatically.
The overlord of the year, Qi State, also thought about annexing Yan State, but in the end he was made to suffer a big dumb loss, of course Zhao Dan would not make such a mistake.
Zhao Dan's orders were sent one by one, and naturally the corresponding ministers of Zhao State responded, and they would be responsible for specific matters later.
But this is not the end of the meeting.
Because there is another important issue that has not been resolved.
Zhao Dan glanced at Mixian and said to Mixian: "Miqing, let's introduce the progress of Wei in the Taojun battlefield." ”
Mi Xian opened his mouth and said: "According to the latest information, Xinling Jun led 20,000 elites of Wei to attack Tao County has achieved great success, and now most of Tao County has fallen into the hands of Wei State, and only Taoyi City is still in the hands of the Qin people. But now it seems that the fall of Taoyi should be a matter of time. ”
As soon as the news came out, the expressions on the faces of the ministers of Zhao who were present began to become not so beautiful again.
Although Zhao and Wei are nominally from the same source, and everyone usually calls the Sanjin family and the like very good, but if you think that there is really an international brotherhood between Zhao and Wei, it is a big mistake.
In fact, the bilateral conflict between Zhao and Wei can be regarded as very fierce throughout the Warring States Period.
To put it simply, the distance between Handan and Daliang City is too close.
Among all the capitals of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, Handan and Daliang City are the closest to each other, and there are plains in between, except for the river, so there is no danger to defend at all.
As long as Zhao Dan is willing, then Zhao can send troops from Handan at a speed that no other country can match, and within a few days, the army will be under the city of Daliang.
On the other hand, Wei was also a serious threat to the security of Handan, Zhao State.
As long as Wei is not on Zhao's side, then Zhao must be careful not to attack with all his strength in any war, otherwise Wei will attack Zhao's capital Handan in minutes.
It was precisely because of the awareness of this threat that after Wei and Zhao moved their capitals to Handan and Daliang, respectively, the relationship between the two countries began to change from cooperation to confrontation.
As the saying goes, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Of course, the powerful overlord Wei State would not allow a Zhao State to appear around him that threatened him, and it was against this background that the siege of Wei to save Zhao broke out.
Of course, now that feng shui is turning, the powerful one has become the Zhao State, and the weak one has become the Wei State.
Since it was impossible for Wei to tolerate the Zhao State around him becoming stronger no matter what, it was naturally impossible for Zhao, which had now become the overlord of the world, to let Wei, the former overlord, get a chance to revive again by capturing Tao County.
Don't even think about it!
