My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 195 The promise of a thousand dollars is Guo Kai!Zhao Wangyan felt so tired
The allied forces of Zhao and Wei broke up at the Yellow River.

Wei Jiu led his fleet back to Daliang City immediately, while Zhao Huan disembarked at Neihuang Ferry, recruited thousands of war horses from Neihuang City, and then ran towards Handan.

The journey that should have taken five days was covered by Zhao Huan in two and a half days.

February [-]rd, the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty.

Zhao Huan's troops were chasing the setting sun like Kuafu chasing the sun.

"I am General Zhao Huan, my military situation is like a fire, please give way!"

Holding the token high, Zhao Huan shouted angrily and rode into Handan City.

Ignoring the knocked-down passers-by, Zhao Huan ran all the way and was finally led into the Imperial Study Room of Handan Palace by the eunuch.

When Zhao Huan stepped into the imperial study, he saw Prime Minister Guo Kai, Chunping Lord Zhao Yan and a group of important ministers discussing with King Zhao Yan in the imperial study.

Zhao Huan hurriedly handed over his hands: "Greetings to the king!"

Zhao Wangyan asked in a deep voice: "No courtesy."

"Why did Aiqing return to Handan City in person?"

Zhao Huan said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the troops of Lord Chang'an of Qin State began to attack Daliang City seven days ago."

"General Pang believed that Lord Chang'an was likely to adopt flooding tactics, so he sent his general and Lord Ningling of Wei out of the city to investigate."

"Two days ago, Mo Jun discovered that [-] Qin troops were digging river embankments in the inner Huangcheng river section!"

"The terrain of Daliang City is lower than the place where the embankment broke. If the Yellow River breaks its embankment in the inner Huangcheng section, the Yellow River water will flow into Daliang City."

"Daliang City is in danger!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the imperial study room.

"How dare Qin Guoan do this!"

"If the Neihuang Dike breaks, hundreds of miles around will be turned into a swamp, and all life will be in ruins!"

"How could Wei leave such hidden dangers!"

Except for Chu, almost all countries have suffered from the Yellow River.

Just after hearing Zhao Huan's words, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

Zhao Huan said loudly: "Therefore, the last general returned to Handan to ask the king to increase his troops and work with the Wei army to destroy the Qin army who dug the embankment!"

However, facing Zhao Huan's words, all the ministers who were in full swing now became mute.

Increase the number of troops in Wei?

But I, Da Zhao, are also facing Bingfeng!
It was to mobilize troops and horses from the already precarious Wu'an battlefield to reinforce Wei.

Or should we sit back and watch Wei fall under the threat of flooding, and then wait for Chang'an Jun's troops to destroy Wei and then attack Zhao?

The ministers of Zhao State are in a dilemma!

Zhao Wangyan pondered for a moment and then asked in a deep voice: "After destroying the Qin army that dug the embankment, will Chang'an Lord send other soldiers to continue digging the river embankment?"

Zhao Huan had to give a helpless answer: "I think so, yes."

Zhao Wangyan asked: "If we want to completely dismantle the Qin State's strategy of digging embankments and flooding beams, how much investment do we, Zhao, need to make?"

Zhao Huan was silent.

Seeing that Zhao Huan did not answer, Zhao Wangyan sighed softly: "It is infinite!"

"If we want to temporarily solve the flood threat in Daliang City, we, Da Zhao, need to work with Wei to annihilate Chang'an Jun's troops."

"But if we want to completely annihilate Chang'an Jun's troops, how many troops do we, Zhao, need to invest?"

Zhao Huan said in a deep voice: "The total number of Zhao and Wei troops in Daliang City is [-]."

"Every city in the Wei Kingdom has increased its troops to Daliang City, and there are still [-] soldiers and horses."

"The current strength of the Qin army does not exceed 17."

"If we, Zhao, increase our army by [-], and take advantage of the strong defenses of Daliang City and the strength of Wei's navy, our army will be able to defeat Lord Chang'an's troops even if they cannot completely annihilate them!"

Zhao Wangyan shook his head: "If we can win with equal strength, how can General Pang be defeated in Xiuyu City?"

Zhao Huan was speechless.

Although Pang Nuan's defeat had various reasons for non-war crimes.

But if you lose, you lose!
Subconsciously touching the jade pendant he had just received, Guo Kai said with enthusiasm: "An additional fifty thousand troops will really make things worse for Zhao's already poor military strength!"

"Not to mention adding [-] troops, even if we add [-] troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy Lord Chang'an's troops!"

Zhao Huan said anxiously: "Then I, Zhao, will not care about Wei!"

Guo Kai scolded in a deep voice: "Zhao Huan, remember which country you are a general from!"

"What does the survival of Wei have to do with you?"

“It’s what you should do to protect me, Da Zhao!”

Zhao Huan frowned and said, "But if Wei dies, how can Zhao survive?"

"If Wei falls to Qin, Qin will besiege Zhao on three sides and cut off the communication channel between Zhao and Chu."

"If Qin attacks Zhao in the future, our country, Zhao, will at most be able to get reinforcements from Yan."

"But in recent years, our country, Zhao, has repeatedly seized the land of Yan. Is the country of Yan willing to reinforce our country, Zhao?"

"To protect Wei State is to protect Zhao State. This is what Prime Minister Guo said!"

Zhao Huan picked up the bullets fired by Guo Kai before the expedition and shot Guo Kai today!

But why would Guo Kai care?

Guo Kai said angrily without hesitation: "Don't you know the truth of what you said?"

"I know the truth! I know the significance of Wei State to me, Great Zhao, better than you!"

"If this was not the case, why did the Prime Minister advise us to increase the number of troops by 25 to reinforce Wei?"

"Even if Qin really attacks the east and west as I expected, with General Wang Jian leading the main force of the Qin army to attack Zhao, I still send [-] troops to reinforce Wei. Doesn't this prove that I value Wei! "

In the overall strategy, the fundamental reason why Pang Nuan's troops appeared on the Wei battlefield was to involve the Qin army's combat power and guide the Wei army to participate in the war.

But who can say that those [-] soldiers and horses were not reinforcements from Zhao?
No matter what purpose Guo Kai has, just say that Zhao Junzhen has no reinforcements!

In a few words, Guo Kai said that Zhao Huan was a little confused.

Why do you feel that Guo Xiang agrees with me?
Guo Kai sighed helplessly: "I, Wang Renyi, agree to the Prime Minister's policy."

"I, Great Zhao, have reached the limit of what a country of brothers in a narrow strip of water should do!"

"But no matter what, Wei Guo is not living up to expectations!"

"Before our army joins the war, we must suffer a huge defeat and turn the originally considerable force into a weak force."

"Now the Qin State has unearthed the hidden danger that has existed in Daliang City for a long time."

"How can I, Da Zhao, save me?"

"It can't be saved, you know! It can't be saved!" Guo Kai was like a high-level player who met a pig teammate, angrily slapping the table, his face full of anger.

Zhao Huan was unable to refute Guo Kai's words, and Zhao Huan was even aroused by Guo Kai.

The problems existing in Daliang City have long been raised by Lord Xinling.

But how long has Lord Xinling been dead, this problem still remains unresolved.

When Pang Nuan raised this issue again, the monarchs and ministers of Wei State ignored it.

If the monarchs and ministers of Wei State had more subjective initiative, would Zhao State be in such a dilemma?As for Pang Nuan being unable to get a good night's sleep for more than a month?

But Zhao Huan never forgot why he came back this time.

Zhao Huan said firmly: "Although the Wei State is not up to expectations, it is our ally of Great Zhao, and it is also the backbone of our Great Zhao."

"Whether the Wei State succeeds or not has nothing to do with whether Zhao, the great Zhao, rescues the Wei State!"

"If Wei dies, more than [-] troops and horses under Lord Chang'an will attack our country from the southeast into the territory of Zhao."

"Once Chang'an Jun's troops join forces with General Wang Jian's troops, how will Zhao resist?"

Guo chuckled happily.

General, you are so easy to fool.

Guo Kai had no intention of stopping his rescue of Wei.

Guo Kai only needs to get Zhao Huan to admit personally that Wei Guo did pull his crotch, that will be enough!

Guo Kai said solemnly: "The ability of the Wei State determines how we, the Great Zhao, should rescue the Wei State."

"If Wei is also powerful, we, Zhao, can add another [-] troops and join forces with Wei to fight against Qin."

"But if Wei fails to live up to expectations, then we, Zhao, cannot count on Wei. Joining forces with Wei will actually weaken our army's combat effectiveness."

Guo Kai bowed his hands in front of Zhao Wang Yan and said, "I advise General Li Mu to speed up the attack and defeat Qin Wang Jian's troops as soon as possible."

"Later, we will turn our troops to reinforce Wei's battlefield!"

Zhao Huan exclaimed in shock: "Should we wait until General Li Mu defeats Wang Jian's troops before reinforcing Wei?"

When will that happen?

And can Li Mu really defeat Wang Jian?
Guo Kai glanced at Zhao Huan: "With 11 Zhao and Wei coalition forces fighting against 17 Qin troops, and there is a city wall to defend, can it be that the Zhao and Wei coalition forces cannot defend it for even a year and a half?"

"Or is it that the soldiers in Daliang City have been frightened out of their courage by the Qin army and do not dare to send troops to fight even if they know that the Qin army has breached the embankment outside?"

Zhao Huan frowned and said, "This is absolutely impossible!"

"Our officers and men are all brave!"

Guo Kai nodded and said, "That's it."

"The original intention of the prime minister is to cooperate with the Wei army on the Wei battlefield to destroy Chang'an Lord's troops, and then lead the Wei army to Wu'an to reinforce General Li Mu."

"Since this strategy doesn't work, we can only urge General Li Mu to make a quick decision and reinforce Daliang City as soon as possible."

Guo Kai's voice became deeper: "The truth is that this may put Daliang City in danger."

"But in a situation where one country is bound to be in danger, I really hope that it is not me, Great Zhao, who is in danger!"

What Guo Kai said is reasonable and politically correct.

As long as Zhao Huan is still Zhao's general and puts Zhao's interests first, Zhao Huan cannot refute Guo Kai's words.

Zhao Huan had no choice but to hand over his hand: "I would like to ask for advice and urge General Li to fight quickly!"

Seeing Zhao Huan falling into the hole he dug step by step, Guo chuckled happily.

He urged Hu Zou to fight quickly, and Qin rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold.

Li Mu was urged to fight quickly, and Qin rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold.

Now that I have received the gift of a thousand pieces of gold, I should fulfill the entrustment of the State of Qin.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he become a villain who takes money and does nothing?
Who else will give gifts to me in the future and ask me to do something for you!

But unfortunately, King Zhao Yan said in a deep voice: "I will not accept this advice."

"No one is allowed to urge General Li Mu to fight quickly in any way!"

Zhao Huan was stunned: "Your Majesty, why is this?"

Zhao Wangyan said angrily: "Why?"

"General Hu was sought for a quick battle and was exploited by the Qin army. He was eventually defeated and died."

"Thanks to General Li Mu for not being afraid in the face of danger, we, Zhao, were not defeated."

"General Hu hasn't been buried yet, have you all forgotten this matter?"

"Cough cough cough cough cough ~"

Zhao Wangyan is not a wise king.

But he had just been slapped in the face and his face was still hurting. How could Zhao Wangyan forget his lesson so quickly?

Seeing King Zhao coughing repeatedly, the Zhao courtiers were worried and hurriedly handed over their hands: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"

Zhao Wangyan waved his hand to silence everyone and continued: "Order!"

"Send all the food and supplies from Wei to General Li Mu's army."

"Please ask Zuo Shichu to escort the grain and fodder in person, and tell General Li that General Li does not need to worry about anything else and just show his best!"

"I wait for him to bring victory to me!"

The post of Zuo Shi is responsible for teaching the king, ministers and officials. He can teach the king of Zhao at the top and train the officials at the bottom.

Zuo Shilonggeng was famous in Zhao Dynasty and his name went down in history for his angry denunciation of Empress Zhao Wei.

Ordering Chulong to escort the grain and fodder was to use Chulong's power to frighten all Xiaoxiao who wanted to take action on this batch of baggage. It was also a promise to Li Mu.

I know that I have thought that your advance was too slow several times and dismissed you as commander, but this time you can rest assured that if I change my order again, you will have Chulong return to Handan to scold me!
Chulong, who was over eighty years old, came out of the queue and cupped his hands, saying solemnly: "My lord, I am willing to go!"

Zhao Wangyan ordered again: "Order!"

"Admonition to the official Mao Sui on his mission to the three kingdoms of Qi, Yan and Chu."

"Tell the three kings that the Qin State's heavy troops are now outside, but the country is empty. This is a good opportunity!"

"The three kings can send troops to rescue Wei in order to fight later, or they can send troops to attack Qin to weaken Qin's power. All decisions are made by the three kings."

Zhao Wangyan's voice became deeper: "Don't miss this opportunity again!"

Zhao Wangyan was lamenting in his heart.

Teammates, stop being pigs.

My heart is so tired!
