Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 369 The strategy of the great hero Guo Kai!
Soon, several soldiers opened the door and walked in.

Dragging Zhao Yan away from the palace bedroom.

This move instantly silenced many ministers and lowered their heads, no longer daring to provoke Guo Kai easily.

Guo Kai also had a look of relief on his face, and a feeling of comfort that he had never felt before suddenly arose in his heart. This feeling was particularly satisfying.

Over the years, as the prime minister, his status has been even lower than that of some ministers in the court. Today, he feels proud and proud.

But if you want to continue like this for a long time, the top priority is to repel the Qin army first.

Only if the State of Zhao continues to exist forever, can the power of his prime minister continue.

Thinking of this, Guo Kai immediately stepped forward, looked at King Zhao and said: "Your Majesty, although our Zhao army suffered heavy losses this time, the hatred of the Zhao people towards the Qin people has not diminished at all. Even General Lian Po and Zhao Zong The death of the general will further arouse the hatred of the Qin people in the hearts of the soldiers!"

"General Lian Po, in particular, not only has a very high prestige in the army, but is even respected by the people of Zhao State. In this way, we only need to quickly convey this news to Daijun and surrounding cities to inspire Zhao The hatred in people's hearts, this is one of the plans I just mentioned!"

When King Zhao heard this, he raised his hand and stroked his chin, thinking for a while.

This method really works!

With the strength gathered by the surrounding people, and with all the remaining Zhao garrison troops from the surrounding cities gathered in Daijun, they could resist the Qin army for a few days.

In the previous battle, most of Zhao's grain, grass, baggage, weapons and equipment were all concentrated at the border. There were not many supplies left in the capital and surrounding cities, and they were unable to fight a protracted war with the Qin army.

And with the current military strength of Zhao State, it cannot take the initiative to attack. As long as the Qin army chooses to consume them, Zhao State will still be defeated!

King Zhao looked at Guo Kai with a heavy face, with a hint of complexity in his eyes: "Although your method may have some effect in a short period of time, it is not a long-term solution."

"Once the Qin army and our army are exhausted, even if the Qin army does not attack the city, our army will eventually be defeated due to food reasons!"

Many ministers standing below also had joking expressions on their faces and secretly mocked in their hearts.

I thought there was some good way to do it, but after talking for a long time, it only allowed Zhao Guo to live a little longer.

In the end, it still couldn't change the fate of Zhao's demise!

If he followed Chunping Jun's plan and defected to Wei and Han, Zhao might be able to use the strength of other countries to repel the Qin army, and even regain some of Zhao's territory, even if some of it was distributed to other countries afterwards. , is far better than the country’s subjugation!
While thinking, some ministers had already thought of abandoning the country and fleeing.

Guo Kai naturally noticed the expressions of the ministers behind him, and with a smile on his lips, he reminded: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the minister Lin Xiangru who was sent to Chu State earlier?"

After Guo Kai reminded him, King Zhao suddenly remembered that as early as when the Qin army came to Shicheng, he had already sent the Prime Minister to carry He's Bi to Chu to ask for help, and asked the King of Chu to send troops to attack Qin.

This time the Qin State came to attack their Zhao State, and there must not be many troops left in the country. As long as the King of Chu is willing to send troops to attack Qin, Yingjun will definitely lead his troops back to rescue the Qin State. In this way, their Zhao State can be relieved. The crisis of national subjugation!
What's more, in order to make the King of Chu determined to send troops to attack Qin, he also returned the Heshi Bi to the Chu State.

For the Chu State, He's Bi was a symbol of power. Only by possessing He's Bi could the kings of Chu in the past dynasties be justified.

At the same time, he also firmly believed that the King of Chu would definitely send troops to attack Qin after seeing He Shibi. This would not only capture some Qin cities, but also strengthen the strength of Chu, save Zhao from danger, and conclude an agreement. Alliance relationship!

Even King Zhao would not remain indifferent to such a thing that achieved three birds with one stone.In addition, he also sent people to ask for help from Wei and Han at the same time. As long as Wei and Han were willing to send troops to assist Zhao, he could even use it to severely damage the Qin army and attack the Qin army often by taking advantage of the Zhao people's hatred of the Qin people. Invincible momentum.

Some neutral ministers standing below, listening to the conversation between Guo Kai and King Zhao, also nodded frequently.

"What the Prime Minister said is true! As long as all the remaining people and soldiers of the Zhao Kingdom are gathered together, the hatred in the hearts of the Zhao people for the Qin people will surely greatly increase the morale of the army, even if the Qin Kingdom has 10,000+ troops , it’s not that easy to capture the capital of Daijun in a short time!”

"That's right. As long as the reinforcements from Wei and South Korea arrive, or the news of Chu sending troops to attack Qin comes, the Qin army will definitely take action. It can even use the help of Wei when the Qin army is indifferent. The three armies of Han, Zhao and Han defeated the Qin army in one fell swoop!"

"I also agree that as long as the Qin army is defeated, the Prime Minister will be the hero of Zhao's salvation. Even if he is promoted to Prime Minister by the king, we will have nothing to say!"

For a time, many ministers looked at King Zhao, waiting for his decision.

King Zhao was also listening. He raised his slightly pale face and looked at the courtier in front of him who had followed him from being a schoolboy to becoming King Zhao, with a smile of relief on his lips.

He didn't expect that at this critical moment, Guo Kai could analyze the overall situation so thoroughly.

He is much stronger than his brother who only knows how to defect to other countries.

Then, King Zhao looked around at the many ministers standing below, raised his hands and said: "Immediately order the people around Daijun and the soldiers who defend the city to gather in Daijun. The whole country will unite and defend Zhao to the death!"

"In addition, continue to send people to Wei and South Korea, and say that as long as they are willing to send troops to help Zhao State repel the Qin Army, I am willing to cut off fifteen cities for them to distribute among themselves!"

Although he was very reluctant to cede fifteen cities to Wei and South Korea, he also knew it in his heart.

Zhao, Wei, and Han are all three Jins, but like the princes of the royal family, they all have different intentions. If they don't pay a price, it is impossible for Wei and Han to send troops to help Zhao.

What's more, he sent envoys as early as when the Qin army came to Shicheng. As a result, no news has been sent back to Wei and South Korea that they are going to send troops, and there is not even a trace of signs of gathering troops.

This is enough to prove the attitudes of Wei and South Korea.

Compared with the subjugation of the country, fifteen cities are nothing!
As long as the army is still there, Zhao State will have hope of rising again, and it can also use its alliance with Chu State to regroup!

The many ministers standing below listened to the king's order, and their hearts were filled with helplessness.

If it had been before, how could Zhao Guo be so humble and ask for help from others!

Then everyone bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please leave!"

Soon, everyone left King Zhao's palace one after another.

Looking at the suddenly empty palace, King Zhao let out a long sigh, feeling extremely heavy and complicated.

Qin is coming with great force this time!

He had a vague feeling that even if reinforcements from Wei and South Korea arrived, they might not be able to save Zhao!
