Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 922
Zhao Yang was not naive, thinking that Qingji would agree to Zhao Guo's peace proposal.

As far as Wu Guo is concerned, if Zhao Guo can be destroyed in one battle, why not do it?

Zhao Guo is not without soldiers to fight.

At least, in Handan, Prince Bolu led [-] to [-] Zhao Jun to confront Wu Jun.

Said to be a confrontation, in fact, the Zhao army in Handan was surrounded by more than [-] Wu troops led by Tian Rangju from the very beginning.

Not a single battle was fought!
Bolu's mission was to contain the Wu army on the eastern front, so the Zhao army under his command was not strong at all, and it was not easy to preserve their strength.

"Report-"

Just when Zhao's court fell into silence again, a guard hurried in and told Zhao Yang, "My lord! The scouts are here to report!"

"The former division of the Wu Army is less than thirty miles away from Jinyang City!"

"Explore again!"

"promise!"

After Su Wei retreated, the ministers and officials of Zhao State couldn't help being in an uproar and feeling terrified.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jun came so quickly.

It's really fast, and I don't intend to give Zhao Jun in Jinyang any chance to react.

At this time, the ministers who believed that the general situation was over and had selfish intentions knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, you can't do anything. I heard that Wu Wang Qingji treats the subjugated king well. If the king takes the initiative to open the city to surrender and surrender with courtesy in order to reduce casualties, the king of Wu must be able to forget the past and let the Zhao family enshrine the king. Wealth and honor can never be enjoyed by generations!"

"Exactly!"

"My lord, the king of Wu is still a benevolent person, so he will definitely not kill them all."

"But today the world is not peaceful, and the nations are still there, how dare King Wu dare to kill the people of the clan and the king of a country?"

"My lord... think twice!"

Zhao Yang was silent.

Looking at the ministers kneeling on the floor, talking nonsense about surrendering to Wu, Zhao Wuxie was very annoyed. He stood up with gritted teeth, pointed at these ministers, and scolded: "Every man is not good enough. !"

"Everyone in the world knows that if you eat the king's salary, you should bear the king's worries."

"You are the ministers of our country Zhao, and the subjects of the monarch. They enjoy the fief salary bestowed by the monarch on weekdays, and are extremely honored and favored. Why do you want to say such words that harm the country and the people now that disaster is imminent?"

"Do you think Zhao Jian is not good?"

"..."

Whether Zhao Jian is sharp or not, all the officials know well.

Even at this time, Zhao Yang, Zhao Wuxie and his son are still capable of executing them.

Having said that, the husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes.

This is true for husband and wife, let alone monarchs and ministers?

Not everyone, like Yin Duo before, can repay the king with death and die for the country.

Most people are still greedy for life and afraid of death.

With a "plop", Zhao Wuxie knelt down towards Zhao Yang who was on the majesty's platform, and said earnestly: "Father, it's not too late."

"Jinyang City can no longer stop Wu Manzi's attack. For the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, please move your father to replace him, or enter Zhongshan Kingdom to live temporarily."

"Look at the changes in the current situation in the Central Plains! If Wu Manzi loses to the allied forces of the princes, then our Zhao Kingdom can make a comeback and regain the lost ground."

"If the allied forces of the princes are defeated, Junfu can also rely on Daidi and various places in Handan to make a comeback and make a comeback slowly!"

Zhao Wuxie's plan is definitely not a problem.

After all, it is conceivable that Qingji's bottom line must be to capture Jinyang City and destroy Zhao State in form.

Because after that, what Wu Guo had to face was the invasion of the Allied Forces of the Five Nations.

Maybe both Korea and Wei will get involved.

This battle in the Central Plains is destined to be unpredictable.

No matter what the ending is, Zhao Guo can continue to continue.

It's just because the state of Wu doesn't have enough troops at this stage to capture the land in the north of the state of Zhao.

Let Zhao Yang escape?
Hearing Zhao Wuxie's words, Zhao Yang just shook his head and said, "Wuxie, I am the king of Zhao, the lord of the Zhao family. Jinyang is the capital of the country and the place where the Zhao family's foundation is located."

"Your widow, you must be with Jinyang, and you will not leave Jinyang alive."

"Father!"

Zhao Wuxie called out eagerly.

"Report-"

At this time, a guard entered the hall and told Zhao Yang, "My lord! It's not good! The former Wu army has arrived in Jinyang, less than twenty miles away from the capital!"

The situation is very critical.

At such a time, Zhao Yang could still remain calm and composed. He took a meaningful look at Zhao Wuxie and said, "Second and third sons, I have made up my mind to stay with Jinyang City and share life and death."

"But, you can leave on your own."

"The widow's last edict—to change Zhao Wuxie as the crown prince of the Zhao Kingdom. After the widow's death, Zhao Wuxie will succeed to the throne immediately, and the second and third sons should serve the new king just like serving the widow!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers knelt down in tears and promised loudly.

"Your servant... I would like to obey the imperial edict!"

Zhao Yang had long intended to depose Prince Bolu and make Zhao Wuxie the heir apparent. This has long been known in the State of Zhao.

Even Bolu, who was the person involved, repeatedly gave in, expressing that he would give the seat to Zhao Wuxie.

Why?

Zhao Yang's preference is one aspect.

On the other hand, it is Bolu who is mediocre and unbearable for a great responsibility. It is enough to be a conservative king, let alone in a troubled world when the mountains and rivers are broken?
Let Bolu take over a dilapidated state of Zhao, and the final result must be to completely destroy the state of Zhao.

Zhao Wuxie, on the other hand, has the style of Zhao Yang. He is well-read and knowledgeable at a young age, has the capacity to tolerate others, and does great things without sticking to small details.

With Zhao Wuxie leading Zhao Guo and becoming the new monarch, even if Zhao Guo could not rise up and stand against Wu Guo, it would surely allow Zhao Guo to continue, instead of being like a flash in the pan, disappearing from everyone.

"Father, my son dare not accept this edict!"

Zhao Wuxie was crying, choked up and said: "My son dare not be the king, let alone abandon your father."

"My son, I am willing to live and die with you, father!"

"Idiot!"

Zhao Yang let out a long sigh and said, "If I, Zhao Yang, die for the country alone, it is enough for the whole country to die alone. Why should you be buried with me? If you even die in Jinyang, how can Zhao Guo still have a chance to make a comeback?"

"Needless to say. Immediately take your officials and the rest of the soldiers to the Zhongshan Kingdom and ask for the protection of the Zhongshan people."

"Zhongshan and Zhao are close neighbors. Although there are frequent quarrels and several wars, but now there is no lack of bitterness. The people of Zhongshan will definitely accept you."

Zhao Yang's decision to die has been made, and no one can persuade him.

Why did he want to die?
The reason is just to fulfill Zhao Wuxie.

As the king of a country, Zhao Yang brought the country of Zhao to the edge of broken mountains and rivers, making a whole generation of Zhao countries young and strong, and almost all died in battle.

Zhao Yang was ashamed of the people of Zhao, and of the ancestors of the Zhao family.

If he didn't die, the people of Zhao would not be able to regain their confidence and revive the country of Zhao.

Knowing Zhao Yang's determination, Zhao Wuxie finally gritted his teeth, kowtowed to Zhao Yang three times with tears streaming down his face, and said solemnly: "Father, I will avenge you!"

"I, Zhao Wuxie, swear that in this life, I will be self-restraining and hardworking, and take it as my mission to revive the Zhao country and destroy the violent Wu!"

"Go!"

"promise!"
