Chapter 274 The 'Smart' Zhao Wangqian
As the sign of exemption from fighting was hung high on the frontline battlefield, a truce period was suddenly entered between the Qin State and the Zhao Wei Allied Forces.
This scene puzzled 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 rejoice, for example: Wei Guo and Yan, Chu and others.
The former had put too much pressure on their own troops 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.
One of the things that Chu State and Yan State Crown Prince Dan were most worried about before was that the Zhao Wei coalition forces on the front line would kneel down before the support from both sides arrived.
After all, during this period of time, the battle reports from the rear were sent back from time to time, so it was really hard not to worry about this.
Now that the front line has suddenly ceased fighting, although they don't know why the always '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 became even more hesitant.
Yan Wang is very timid.
From the very beginning, he was not inclined to be an enemy of Qin State, because the strength of Qin State is too strong today.
However, due to the status of an ally, 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 even didn't 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 Crown Prince Pill of Yan sits in the current position of King Yan, then the threat that Yan State brings to Qin State is at least much greater than the troubles that Yan Wangxi 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 out on him.
Crown Prince Dan of Yan could naturally see this, but he had no way to change it.
In contrast.
The situation in Chu State is slightly better.
Chu State has a history of 800 years and has a long heritage. However, with the support of King Chu Kaolie more than 30 years ago, "Chunshen Jun", one of the four sons of the Warring States Period, failed to organize the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin. Suffering fierce revenge from the Qin State, the national strength was once weakened.
Afterwards, with the death of King Chu Kaolie, Lord Chunshen was also murdered, and the state of Chu was devastated because of this.
However, although the royal power of Chu State was weakened, it still retained a lot of military strength, the most famous of which was the Xiang family of Chu State.
Xiang Yan, the leader of the current Xiang clan.
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 prompt 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 was not the biggest trouble for Zhao and Wei.
This battle is the biggest threat to Zhao Wei's coalition forces. It is estimated that even Wei Guo, who is an ally, can't imagine that they are about to 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 Qin Guo temporarily 'joined forces' to resist the wolves spread to his court, the first thing the officials above Zhao Guo's court thought was not that the wolves were saved.
Rather... 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 Zhao Wang really so stupid today?
The reality is that it is really so stupid.
Of course.
Although Zhao Wangqian said he was insane, 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 'Guo Kai' who spoke up was originally arranged by Zhao Wangqian himself.
At least in Zhao Wangqian's view, Guo Kai's remarks were indeed something they had discussed in secret.
Zhao Wangqian never thought about removing Li Mu from his official position, or accusing him of 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 when he accused Li Mu, Zhao Wangqian planned from the very beginning that there would be a lot of thunder and little rain. I have to say that Zhao Wangqian, who had been stupid all his life, had a rare cleverness at the last moment of his life.
But although Zhao Wang's idea is good, some things in this world often develop 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 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 the Zhao Kingdom 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 beyond their control.
