Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 225 Convincing Zhao Zhen
As soon as Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu walked out of the harem, Huang Hao greeted them.Zhao Yu didn't wait for Huang Hao to salute, and immediately ordered to him: "Call Guowei Xue Li, and Imperial Army Commander Zhao Zhen to come."

"Follow the order".Huang Hao received the order respectfully, then turned around and walked forward at a faster pace.

Seeing Huang Hao walk away, Zhao Yu thought for a while and then changed the direction: "I think it's better to talk in the imperial study at this time."

"Brother's words make sense."Zhao Wuming also thought for a moment, and then followed Zhao Yu to the direction of the imperial study.

The two walked into the study room, where the guests and the host sat down.Immediately after the sound of footsteps came, Zhao Zhen walked in slowly and bowed to Zhao Yu: "I see the king."

"The widow thought Commander Zhao would have to wait for a while before arriving at the palace, but he didn't want to come so soon."Seeing that Zhao Zhen was slightly surprised, Zhao Yu asked him.

When Zhao Zhen heard the inquiry, he replied respectfully: "The minister happened to be in the palace today, and rushed over when he heard the king's call."

"So that's the case, Commander Zhao, please sit down and discuss in detail."After Zhao Yu heard it, he suddenly realized, and then looked at the second seat from the lower left.

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment and didn't know why he still needed to be seated, but since he had heard the order, he didn't dare to neglect: "Observe the order".

"Commander Zhao knows that today he alone met Gongsun Yang and Le Chi who visited Zhao Fan's counselor Shen Chuan."Zhao Wuming saw that Zhao Zhen was seated at the table, and asked Zhao Zhen without waiting for Zhao Yu to speak.

Zhao Zhen didn't recall it for a while, and asked Zhao Wuming: "Gongsun Yang?".

"It was Gongsun Yang who led the army of Qin State to raid Hexi of Wei State some time ago."Zhao Wuming explained to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Wuming puzzledly, with a little disdain in his eyes: "How could this person come to Handan? After all, the land of Xihe is related to the national destiny of Qin and Wei. The fourth son of King Cheng, are you joking?" ".

"Is there any need for a joke?".Zhao Wuming frowned slightly, even if he didn't believe it, wouldn't he know to be a little more tactful.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Wuming and frowned, and analyzed to him indifferently: "Let's not talk about the importance of Hexi, just talk about this person's status in Qin, how could he come to Handan in person without saying a word. I will not be able to figure out what is there in Handan City, and it is worth making a special trip for Qin State Daliang to make a special trip regardless of military affairs."

"Handan doesn't have it, but who can say whether Zhun Zhao doesn't either."Zhao Wuming asked Zhao Zhen back, with a hint of anger in his tone.But thinking that after all, there is something to ask for, so he endured it.

Zhao Zhen didn't think too much when he heard this, but continued to refute to Zhao Wuming: "Although Qin State raided Hexi and swallowed Shangjun, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the battle between Qin and Wei is imminent. Why would Gongsun Yang be at this time again?" Come to provoke my country, Zhao, and make troubles out of the past."

"Don't forget about the envoys of Lin Hu and Lou Fan."Zhao Wuming explained to Zhao Zhen.

Thinking of the envoys of Lou Fan and Lin Hu, Zhao Zhen seemed to have reacted, but then he didn't care about it: "Even if Qin is bluffing, so what? As long as our country ignores it."

"I'm afraid he is not bluffing."Zhao Yu interjected to the two of them.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Yu puzzled and asked him, "Dare to ask what the king of Qin can do other than bluff."

"Once the third brother raises troops, 40 troops will go south. If the Zhongshan Kingdom joins in at this time and sends troops at the same time. At that time, the Qin Kingdom only needs to send 20 troops. How will the whole country resist?"Zhao Yu asked Zhao Zhen back.

Zhao Zhen pondered the situation in his mind, and was speechless for a while.

Zhao Wuming took the opportunity to take Zhao Yu's words, and asked Zhao Zhen again: "The Wei State has just experienced a big defeat. The generals in the army were either captured by the Qin State, or were detained by the Qi State. Especially the general of the Wei State, Pang Juan, also King Qi's hands. If King Wei doesn't redeem these generals, it will be difficult to launch a counterattack against Qin State. So at present, Qin State seems to be trapped in the Hexi battlefield, but it is not. As long as Qi State returns the generals of Wei State , Just go back to Hexi."

"Having said that, do you know if there is any evidence of collusion between Dai Yunjun, Zhongshan Kingdom, and Qin Kingdom in the hands of the fourth son of King Cheng?"Listening to Zhao Wuming's analysis, Zhao Zhen's tone gradually softened.If you look at it this way, it may not be true that Qin sent the main force to take advantage of the fire.

When Zhao Wuming was about to reply, footsteps sounded, and all the eyes in the room for three days looked over.

Xue Li came in holding the bamboo slips in his hand and bowed to Zhao Yu: "The old minister sees the king."

"Please take the captain of the country and take a seat."Zhao Yu gave instructions to Xue Li, and then looked at the first seat on the lower left.

Xue Li went to the seat and sat cross-legged, slowly opened the bamboo slips, and looked at Zhao Yu: "This scroll of bamboo slips is the news collected by the veteran that Gongsun Yang, Le Chi, and Shen Chuan entered and exited Handan."

"Please Guo Wei give this bamboo slip to Commander Zhao to watch."Zhao Yu didn't look at it either, and directly asked Xue Li to hand over the bamboo slips to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took the bamboo slips and looked at them carefully, and subconsciously asked: "Not long ago, the three of you left Handan City together?".

"Unfortunately, the old minister, the fourth son of King Cheng, and Gao Zhao, the envoy of Tianbu, happened to see Dai Yunjun's counselor sending Gongsun Yang and Lechi out of the mansion, so they went to say hello. Unexpectedly, after we left, the three of them They actually went out of the city at the same time, if they are open-minded, why should they be so? What's more, the state of Qin was built by a great man, one person is less than [-] people in the state of Qin. Why didn't Handan come to pay a visit to the king, instead, he secretly visited with Zhongshan Xiangguo Lechi Shen Chuan. In the opinion of the veterans, I am afraid that what they have drawn is not small."Xue Li replied to Zhao Yu, but these words were meant for Zhao Zhen.

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to speak, Zhao Wuming added fuel to the fire again: "Except for the land, I can't think of anything else that can make Gongsun Yang lose his composure."

"If the Qin State attacks, it will definitely attack the lands in Shicheng. The old minister heard that there are many princes in this place, and I ask the king to prepare early to prevent those princes from dying under the sword of the Qin State."Xue Li continued to propose to Zhao Yu, but he kept paying attention to Zhao Zhen's expression from the corner of his eyes.

Zhao Zhen rolled up the bamboo slips, stood up from his seat and bowed to Zhao Yu: "The ancestors of the Gongzu taught that if a son invites other countries to send troops to help him when he seizes the throne, in order to preserve our country's territory, the Gongzu must unhesitatingly use his sword. .This matter is important, and I should immediately report back to Junfu, and then give the king an answer."

"Time is running out, Commander Zhao please take care of yourself, I am waiting for the good news."When Zhao Yu heard Zhao Zhen's words, he was overjoyed and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Zhen stopped talking, turned and walked outside.

Watching Zhao Zhen walk away, Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "In the past, Lord Anyang lost his fortune, and having a relationship with his fourth younger brother was not difficult to convince Xingping Lord and others. The difficulty lies in Zhao Zhen's generation. At this time, Zhao Zhen took this bamboo slip to convince those gentlemen and grandsons that the princes would send troops just around the corner."

"The rest depends on what happens on the battlefield. I hope there is still time for all this."Zhao Wuming followed Zhao Yu's words with emotion.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and Xue Li stood up and bowed to him: "The most urgent thing is to prepare the army for war, and the old minister will go to the Handan garrison camp to practice soldiers and horses."

"Gu Yuan and Guowei leave at the same time".Zhao Wuming thought for a while, since there was nothing to do here, he immediately stood up and asked Zhao Yu to resign.

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and the two turned around and walked outside.
