After receiving the proposal from Wei Liao and Wang Jian, the King of Qin quickly summoned Lu Buwei. The impact of Meng Ao's death finally appeared. Lu Buwei lost control of the Qin army, and the generals formulated an attack plan.
, the first person to know was no longer him, but the King of Qin. Lu Buwei was not angry. In fact, he had long understood that his control over Qin would definitely decline little by little.
King Qin gradually grew up and had more and more supporters, but Lu Buwei was over fifty years old, so it was impossible for him to continue to compete for power with this strong ruler. Therefore, Lu Buwei still seemed a little indifferent to this matter. King Qin raised the issue
When the attack on Zhao State made Zhao State exhausted, Lu Buwei quickly agreed. However, according to Lu Buwei's calculations, Qin State could only send 100,000 troops at most.
If this number is exceeded, it will have an impact on the development of the Qin State.
This number of people was not much different from what Wang Jian expected.
Lu Buwei simply handed over the command of the war to the King of Qin, and went to compile the book with peace of mind. The King of Qin was naturally very happy. He appointed Wang Jian as general and Yang Duanhe as deputy general, commanding 50,000 soldiers to attack Zhao.
The state also appointed Changping Junqi as general, Zhang Tang as assistant, and led 50,000 soldiers as reinforcements. The troops were divided into two groups. The army obeyed Wang Jian's order and came to attack Zhao.
The King of Qin originally wanted to make his younger brother Chang'an Lord the general, but unfortunately Chang'an Lord was not in Xianyang at the moment. He was in Zheng County, Yingchuan County, so he could only use Qi as the general. Zhao Kang came to see the King of Qin and proposed his wish.
Participating in this war was unfortunately rejected by the King of Qin. Kang was too young to participate in the war. The Qin State quickly completed the gathering of the army, and then issued a crusade against the King of Zhao, and then officially launched the war.
attack.
At this time, Zhao State seemed a little confused.
King Zhao sat in the upper position, and those sitting in front of him were Lord Jianxin and Guo Kai. Both of them looked a little serious, especially Lord Jianxin. Lord Jianxin looked at King Zhao and said seriously: "The State of Qin has
Wang Jian is a general and he is attacking the State of Zhao. The only person who can stop him is Jun Mu of Wu An... Please send people to Yunzhong quickly and order Jun Wu An to return to Handan and command the army to resist the invasion of the Qin people."
King Zhao's face suddenly became a little ugly, because Li Mu openly supported Gongzi Jia, which made King Zhao furious, so he removed Li Mu from his position and asked him to return to Yunzhong. Guo Kai couldn't help himself when he thought about this.
He laughed. Li Mu had always been against him in Handan and was more Lian Po than before. When he learned about the relationship between Gongzi Jia and Li Mu, he came up with a plan to cooperate with the queen to murder Gongzi Jia.
For Guo Kai, Gongzijia was not his goal.
King Zhao trusted his queen and doted on his youngest son Qian, but was a little cold to his eldest son Jia. He originally had the idea of passing the throne to Qian. The queen had always been thinking about letting her son ascend the throne, because the eldest son Jia was
In their relationship with Li Mu, the Queen and Guo Kai have a common enemy. The Queen's target is Zhao Jia, and Guo Kai's target is Li Mu. It is definitely not an easy task to bring down Li Mu.
I don’t know why, but King Zhao is so partial to Li Mu and can tolerate so many rude behaviors from Li Mu. Guo Kai can’t figure it out. He is obviously someone who has played with King Zhao since childhood, so why can’t he?
How could he be treated like this? Because of Gongzi Jia's incident, King Zhao was very angry with Li Mu, but in fact, he still did not impose any substantial punishment on Li Mu, nor did he take away his food, nor did he even go to Li Mu.
Reprimand him.
At this moment, hearing Lord Jianxin's words, King Zhao was also a little shaken.
It seems that the only one in the country who can come forward to stop the Qin people is Li Mu.
Seeing King Zhao starting to think, Guo Kai hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please allow me to welcome Lord Wu An back to Handan. I was the one who said goodbye to Lord Wu An at the beginning, so of course it is my turn to take him back."
Welcome back... But if Mr. Wu An asks me why I came to invite him back to Handan, how should I answer him?" When Guo Kai asked, King Zhao's face suddenly turned livid.
Lord Jianxin stood up angrily, looked at Guo Kai beside him, and shouted angrily: "Go! You villain! I don't care about your personal grudges with other people! But now Qin is attacking with a large army.
Zhao State, Zhao State is in danger of subjugation. At this time, you still dare to sow discord between the monarch and his ministers. Do you want to be a slave of the Qin people!?!" Like Li Mu, Jianxinjun was also the subject of Guo Kaisuo
Someone you don’t dare to mess with.
But there has always been no conflict between him and Lord Jianxin. They have no disputes over interests. Lord Jianxin will not meddle in Guo Kai's affairs like Lian Po Li Mu, but this kind of
The harmony was broken after Guo Kai's words. Guo Kai showed a frightened look. He looked at Mr. Jianxin and said, "Why am I provoking? I support you!"
"shut up!"
"How could you be so rude to me?!"
The two quarreled, and this scene made King Zhao even more angry. "That's enough!" King Zhao said. The two of them did not dare to quarrel anymore and both lowered their heads. Lord Jianxin said: "Your Majesty, you are so cruel.
The enemy is already ready to attack. No matter what happens, we can discuss it after repelling the enemy... Please don't hesitate and send someone to let Lord Wu An return to Handan immediately!"
Guo Kai added: "Yes, it should be okay. Let's wait until he defeats the enemy before talking about other things."
Guo Kai was clearly echoing Jianxin Jun's words, but his expression and tone were so revolting. King Zhao said angrily with a straight face: "Wu An Jun has not complained to me about Gongzi Jia."
Apologize, I just drove him away a few days ago, and now I have invited him here because of Qin's attack. How should the people of the world treat me? Doesn't it mean that Zhao will have no generals to use after removing Li Mu?"
Lord Jianxin stood up suddenly and said: "Your Majesty, besides Lord Wu An, who else can stop the people of Qin? Your Majesty?!"
King Zhao stood up a little irritably, pushed away Mr. Jianxin in front of him, and then said: "Prepare the car!"
The cold winter in Zhao has just passed, and the snow is dispersing under the not too hot sunshine. This makes the surrounding area a little cold. Although the cold winter has passed, the cold has not passed, and the trees have not sprouted and grown.
, the withered black note looked a little gloomy. In the courtyard, under a withered black tree, the old man huddled up, and he just sat under the tree without saying a word.
Dirty and gray beard, face covered with wrinkles.
Since he was very young, Pang Gong would get up every morning to practice swordplay, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter. But today, Pang Gong found that he couldn't practice anymore. His whole body seemed to be falling apart, which made his activities become cumbersome.
It was such a difficulty that he couldn't even bend down to pick up the sword that fell on the ground... Pang Gong struggled for a long time. He bent over, but he couldn't bend down no matter what. There was severe pain in his waist, which made him feel uncomfortable.
He stopped doing this.
Pang Gong could only walk in the courtyard with crutches. After walking in this way for several times, he was already tired and out of breath.
Pang Gong looked at his stooped figure in the sun and couldn't help but laugh, "Pang Nuan... you are getting old too."
In the end, he was powerless and could only sit under the dead tree and stare into the distance. Recently, he found that he could see his old friends more and more often. He could see his family members who passed away many years ago. Friends, even children, grandchildren... He sent away his family, all relatives, and friends... He is the only one left in the world today. Only in a daze can he see to these people.
His retainer lives next door. As for his name, Pang Gong has forgotten it. He only remembers that the retainer who first served him called him Zuoling. Now this one seems to be his grandson? Or his great-great-grandson? He can't remember, the retainer will He cooked for him, washed his clothes, and respected him very much. He would sometimes come to chat with Mr. Pang, but unfortunately, he couldn't quite understand what Mr. Pang said.
When Pang Gong talked about the time when Zhao people changed their clothes and started learning to ride and shoot, the young man's eyes widened. Aren't we always like this?
When Pang Gong talked about the powerful Zhao State in the past, which conquered many cities and defeated many countries, all countries sent envoys to meet the King of Zhao. The young man shook his head. How could this be possible?
Pang Gong once saw the state of Zhao when he was most helpless, when he was young. As he grew up, the state of Zhao also grew slowly. When he grew up, the state of Zhao began to become stronger. My father-in-law will never forget that time, the powerful Zhao State, those warriors who could ride horses and shoot arrows, Zhao She, Le Yi, Tian Dan... But when he became an old man, Zhao State had already gone from strength to strength. Central decline, constant defeats, abandoned farmland, Zhao people starving to death...
The most unfortunate thing for Pang Gong was that he had lived for too long, and he should have died peacefully during the period when Zhao was at its strongest.
The thing that frightened Pang Gong the most was that he was afraid that he would live longer. He didn't want to watch the demise of Zhao State anymore.
But the reason why Pang Gong didn't choose to end his life seemed to be this land. If he died, who would protect this country?
King Zhao's carriage stopped at the door. Surrounded by warriors, King Zhao walked into the courtyard. At a glance, he saw the withered tree in the distance and the sad old man sitting under the tree. Zhao The king was stunned for a moment, and then he bowed to Pang Gong. Pang Gong opened his eyes wide and looked at King Zhao in front of him. After a while, he stood up with difficulty with crutches, and all the bones in his body were cracking. sound.
"Your Majesty..."
King Zhao then sat in front of Duke Pang, and the two of them were silent for a long time.
"Wang Jian of the Qin State led an army to attack the Zhao State... I want to make you a general... but..." King Zhao looked at Pang Gong in front of him and did not continue. He really regretted it now. It's his own decision. Pang Gong is too old, too old. It's impossible for him to go to the battlefield again, let alone defeat the powerful Qin people. Pang Gong's eyes flashed, and he said: "Qin people attack?"
"Are they gathering to party?"
"Yes..Yes."
"Then they must attack Qingdu, then turn to Tunliu, and then take a detour from Tunliu to attack Handan..." Pang Gonggong said seriously, and then asked: "How many people are there?"
"One hundred thousand."
"Well... if your Majesty is willing to give me 150,000 troops, I can repel them." Pang Gong said, and then talked about his strategic deployment. King Zhao looked at the old man talking in front of him,
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart. He pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "I just came to ask for your opinion, and I don't want to disturb you. I am going to ask Lord Wu An to return to Handan to command the army. You
What do you think?"
"This is very good... However, if the Qin people have gathered in Shangdang, I am afraid that they will send troops soon. When Lord Wu An returns... they will have passed Yaoshan... Lord Wu An will be passive
, if your Majesty can trust me, you can send someone to invite Lord Wu An, and at the same time let me station at the front line, I can wait until Lord Wu An comes to take my place... I will never let the Qin people cross Mount Yao!"
King Zhao was silent for a long time and then said: "Okay."
While Wang Jian led his army to attack the State of Zhao, the King of Zhao also gathered a large army, led by the veteran general Pang Nuan, to resist Wang Jian's attack. Pang Nuan, who was nearly a hundred years old, once again put on his armor and joined the warriors.
With their help, they got on the military chariot, and the army quickly set off in the direction of Yaoshan. King Zhao also sent the young general Hu Zou as his deputy to go on the expedition together.
Pang Nuan led his army to the front line, but stayed in the Yaoshan area and refused to advance. Wang Jian took the opportunity to capture several nearby cities, stationed here, waiting for reinforcements from the rear, and continued to send people.
Provoking Zhao's army and trying to lure Zhao's army to attack, Pang Gong stood still and just watched Wang Jian's performance. When Qi came here with the remaining 50,000 troops, Wang Jian led the army and continued to fight with Pang Gong.
Confrontation, and constant probing attacks.
The two sides began a confrontation at Yaoshan. After repelling Wang Jian's several attacks, Pang Nuan even organized a counterattack, which taught Qin a big lesson.
Wang Jian was not able to achieve the victory he wanted. The cities he contributed in the early stage were also pushed back by the enemy, but Wang Jian didn't care. He always remembered Wei Liao's instructions in his mind. The longer the war was delayed, the more important it would be for him.
The Qin State became more powerful, so he fought steadily and steadily. The war between the two sides was very anxious, and Pang Gong did hold out until the day Li Mu arrived.
King Zhao did not break his promise. He did what he promised to Duke Pang. He sent someone to invite Lord Wu An back to Handan. He immediately admitted his mistake and asked him to take over Duke Pang's position and lead the army of Zhao.
It wasn't until the day Li Mu arrived that Pang Gong breathed a sigh of relief.
Pang Gong loved Li Mu very much because he could see the future in Li Mu.
