Chapter 274 "Smart" Zhao Wangqian
As the sign of exemption from fighting was hung high on the frontline battlefield, a truce period suddenly entered between the Qin State and the Zhao Wei Allied Forces.
This scene confused the eyes and ears of many other countries sent to the front line.
After a simple investigation, the news that Qin State and Li Mu had secretly concluded a deal soon spread to the courts of Yan, Qi, and Chu.
After hearing the news, some people were happy while others were worried.
Those who are happy, for example: Wei Guo and Yan, Chu and others.
The former had put too much pressure on their own army from the Qin army, and now the sudden truce gave them a chance to breathe.
The latter is because of the truce between the two sides this time, which bought more support time for both sides.
To know.
Before, one of the things that Chu State and Yan State Prince Dan were most worried about was that the Zhao Wei coalition forces on the frontline battlefield would kneel before the support from both sides arrived.
After all, during this period of time, the battle reports from the rear are sent back from time to time, so it is really hard for people not to worry about this.
Now that the front line has suddenly ceased fighting, although they don't know why the "tyrannical" Qin Congress made such a decision, it is undoubtedly good news for them.
But, is reality really that simple?
of course not.
The real situation is that from the moment Qin State decided to cease the war, King Yan, who was already hesitant about sending troops to support the Zhao Wei coalition forces, suddenly hesitated even more.
King Yan is very timid.
From the very beginning, he was not inclined to be an enemy of Qin State, because Qin State is too powerful today.
It was only because of the status of an ally that King Yan decided to send troops to support Zhao and Wei countries under the persuasion of Prince Dan. As a result, Qin and Zhao Wei suddenly ceased fighting just when King Yan was about to make a decision.
And it was because the two sides wanted to fight against the wolves together and maintain national justice.
This time.
King Yan didn't even want to send troops to support Zhao and Wei.
After all, if they sent troops from Yan to support Zhao and Wei when Qin sent troops to resist the wolves, it would inevitably be suspected of a "sneak attack".
It’s okay to win this battle in the end, but if with the support of their Yan State, Zhao Wei and Zhao Wei are still defeated by the Qin Army in the end, then Yan State’s support for the front line this time is a real loss of face. Lost the lining again.
Yan Taizi Dan is undoubtedly a very talented person. Although his political methods are somewhat inferior, overall, Yan Taizi Dan can be regarded as a qualified heir.
To put it bluntly, if Prince Yan is sitting in the position of King Yan today, then the threat Yan State brings to Qin State is at least a lot more troublesome than the troubles that King Yan brings to Qin State today.
It's a pity that with such a group of pig opponents behind him, no matter how capable Yan Taizi Dan is, it will be difficult to turn the tide.
What face and face?
In the final analysis, these are just excuses Yan Wangxi made up to comfort himself. In fact, the real reason why he hesitated was because he was afraid that Qin would take his anger on him.
Yan Taizi Dan can naturally see this, but he has no way to change it.
By contrast.
The situation in Chu State is slightly better.
Chu has a history of 800 years and has a long inheritance. However, with the support of King Chu Kaolie more than 30 years ago, "Chunshen Jun", one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, failed to organize the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin. Chu State suffered fierce revenge from Qin State, and its national strength was once weakened.
However, although the royal power of the Chu State is weakened, it still retains a lot of military strength, and the most famous of them is the Xiang family of the Chu State.
Today's leader of the Xiang clan—Xiang Yan.
Although he was not among the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, his ability to lead troops was basically second only to this level.
With the Xiang family in charge, the military strength of the Chu State basically does not have the possibility of thunderstorms in a short period of time, so when the Chu State learned that the front line of the Qin State and the Zhao Wei coalition forces had temporarily ceased fighting.
Make a quick decision.
Decisively increased the troops supporting Zhao and Wei.
But it is a pity that Qin State has strictly defended Chu State from the very beginning, with a hundred thousand troops across the river to block it. Even if Chu State increases its military strength, in the face of the Qin army with such a weapon of war as [cement], there is basically no breakthrough in a short period of time. possible.
However, the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from Yan and Chu is not the biggest trouble Zhao and Wei have encountered.
This battle poses the biggest threat to the Zhao Wei coalition forces. It is estimated that even Wei Guo, who is an ally, would not have imagined that they will soon encounter a wave of backstabs from Zhao Guochaotang.
At this time, Zhao Guochaotang was very lively.
It is estimated that even Li Mu himself could not have imagined that when the news that he and the State of Qin temporarily 'joined hands' against the wolves spread to his court, the first thing the officials above the court of Zhao State thought was not that the wolves were saved.
But... Li Mu betrayed Zhao Guo.
This is the remonstrance of a minister in Zhao Guochaotang.
This remonstrance just sounds ridiculous, but the current King Zhao really adopted the remonstrance of this minister, and issued an edict, waiting for Li Mu to resist the return of the wolf clan, to punish Li Mu with this .
Is King Zhao really so stupid today?
The reality is that he is really that stupid.
Of course.
Although Zhao Wangqian said he was incompetent, it was not enough to punish Li Mu directly based on the words of one person.
The real situation is that the reason why the contemporary king of Zhao decisively adopted the minister's advice was mainly to beat Li Mu by the way.
Moreover, the minister who spoke up, 'Guo Kai', was originally arranged by Zhao Wangqian himself.
At least in Zhao Wangqian's view, Guo Kai's remarks were indeed something they discussed in private.
Zhao Wangqian never thought that he would really dismiss Li Mu from his official position, or charge him with a serious crime. After all, Zhao Guo still needs Li Mu to resist the wolves at the border, and also needs Li Mu to resist Qiang Qin at the front.
However, it is certain to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress Li Mu's power.
So this time, Zhao Wangqian planned to question Li Mu from the very beginning with loud noises and little rain. I have to say that Zhao Wangqian, who has been stupid all his life, is rare to have a little cleverness at the last moment of his life.
But although King Zhao had a good idea, the development of some things in this world is often completely beyond people's expectations.
Because not long after he announced his edict, rumors of Wu Anjun'Li Mu' betraying Zhao country suddenly spread everywhere in HD, the capital city of Zhao country.
Zhao Wangqian, who was having fun in his harem at this time, was overjoyed when he heard the news, feeling that his 'plan' had succeeded.
However, some courtiers of Zhao State faintly sensed that something was wrong.
In fact, this group of old foxes who have been hanging out in the court hall for a long time are all clear about the "Little Jiujiu" in Zhao Wangqian's heart, but because Zhao Wang's calculation this time is also similar to their thoughts, they did not stop it before .
But now, the plan of 'beating Li Mu' seems to be somewhat beyond their control.
