Chapter 1062: Success in the East and Success in the West (Fifty-Five)

Zhao Guo, Handan.

Since Zhao Qi took power, Zhao Feng was transferred out of the Hedong camp and returned to Handan. He became an empty-headed doctor who didn't care about anything. In fact, he had been completely ignored and turned into a solid shelf. , In fact, if it weren't for the fact that his father was Zhao Mu, and Zhao Qi really didn't dare to uproot the Zhao Mu clan, as the eldest son of Zhao Mu, his bones would have been cold long ago.

Wu Zeng, the powerful generals of the Hedong camp run by Zhao Mu in the past, was killed, Zhou Changshou was demoted to the Wei State, and now his life or death is unknown, and Zhao Feng was expelled from the army. Almost all Zhao Feng was expelled from the Hedong camp. The generals of Qi's line, but because of this, this time Hedong was defeated, and all the sticks were hit on Zhao Qi's head.

Domestically, Zhao Qi's head was in disarray, and Hedong and Jinyang were completely occupied by the Qin army. Under the pressure of the Qin army, Zhao Qi had to open the upper valley to allow the Qin army to pass through, and launched an attack on Daijun. The Qin army's goal was to destroy the Han Army's Eastern Field Army there, which was He Lanxiong's army. The promise given to Zhao Qi was that after He Lanxiong was eliminated, Daijun would be returned to Zhao.

For Zhao Qi, who had already lost Hedong, Jinyang and other places, and destroyed a hundred thousand troops, this was simply a life-saving straw. If he could really get back Daijun, which was taken away by the Han State, it would be considered an explanation at home. He has already I don’t expect Qin to return Hedong and Jinyang to Zhao.

However, contrary to expectations, the Qin people were defeated by the Han army in a sure-fire battle. Hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed on the grassland. Generals Li Xin and Wang Xiao were all defeated. When the news came, the whole country of Zhao was in chaos. Wow.

What does this mean?

This means that Zhao State was not only bullied mercilessly by the Qin people, but also offended another behemoth, the Han State. You must know that if the Zhao people had not opened Shanggu County, Li Xin's 100,000 troops would not have suddenly appeared. In Dai County.

Such a magical turn of events put Zhao Qi's rule in the Zhao State in immediate danger. Anyone with a little knowledge can see that the Zhao State was in bad luck this time. A big country that could compete with Han and Qin could not compete with Han and Qin. In a few years, he became a sandwich between the two great powers, and what's even more worrying is that he offended both of them.

And all of this happened during Zhao Qi's reign.

How can the people of Zhao not be angry?

Zhao Feng's eyes swept over the faces of the people in this secret room one by one. Zizhi and Zizhang were all important officials in the court, as well as Zhao Jin, the former governor of Jinyang County. He was captured alive by Bai Qi at Hangu Pass. Later, Zhao Xilie, the son of Zhao Qi, who was captured on the battlefield, and Zhao general Li Mingjun were released by the Qin people. However, without Jinyang, Zhao Jin became dispensable in the Zhao court. Man, Zhao Qi, who used to try hard to win over him, now doesn't even look at him.

The extremely angry Zhao Jin naturally turned to Zhao Feng for help.

Apart from the ministers, the only ones left are some young officers. These people have one thing in common, that is, they are young, and being young means they are passionate. They are also the group of people who are most dissatisfied with the current situation. When did the Zhao people become Are you a soft persimmon who allows others to bully you?

The former glory of Zhao State inspired them to become a new force to resist Zhao Qi's rule, and they were naturally the targets of Zhao Feng's efforts to win over. Although these people were young and did not have much power in their hands, no matter what time, people like them would Grassroots officers have always been the pillars of the army because they are the ones who directly lead and manage the troops.

"I have received the exact news that the king has been placed under house arrest by Zhao Qi." Zhao Feng looked at the crowd and gently dropped a piece of bombshell news.

"What? There is such a thing?"

"Zhao Qi is so rebellious!"

The room suddenly exploded.

"Is this news reliable?" Zizhang looked at Zhao Feng with some confusion, "Is Zhao Qi so heartbroken and crazy?"

"Uncle!" Zhao Feng raised his hands to Zizhang, "How many days have you not seen the king?"

Zizhang raised his fingers and calculated, "It has been more than ten days. Two days ago, I went to ask for a visit. They also said that the king was ill and could not see me. I didn't think much about it at the time. In this situation, the king It’s possible to get angry in a hurry.”

"Others can not see you, but uncle, you are specifically responsible for the foreign affairs of our country. At this time of our country's survival, he can not see anyone. Can he not see you?" Zhao Feng said: "My news comes from the palace, absolutely. Reliable. Since Zhao Xilie and Li Mingjun came back, Zhao Qi has put them in charge of the city guards and the palace guards. Everyone in the city and palace are people from Zhao Qi's line. The king has been isolated from us for a long time. coming."

"The king trusts Zhao Qi so much, he actually..." At this point, Zizhang was already convinced.

"It is precisely because of this that Zhao Qi wants to control the king. You must know that since Zhao Qi came to power, Zhao Qi has been deteriorating. Not only has he lost Daijun, but now Hedong and Jinyang are all gone. The king is dissatisfied with him. It's beyond words. At the last court meeting a month ago, uncle, you also saw the king's attitude. Zhao Qi was panicked. He was unable to change the external situation, so he could only start from the inside. In the past month, he captured How many loyal ministers and good generals have been sent to prison just because these people are dissatisfied with him. I am only worried that in the next step, he will attack us."

Zizhi, Zizhang and others all changed their colors.

"If the State of Zhao continues to let Zhao Qi continue to struggle like this, the country will be destroyed forever!" Zhao Feng stood up and hurried back and forth in the room excitedly: "Masters and generals, if we don't rise up and stir up the chaos in the country, If it does not fall, Zhao will be lost in our hands, and we will all become sinners through the ages."

"Kill Zhao Qi and revive Chao Gang!" Inside the room, the young officers roared, waving their fists angrily.

Zhao Feng turned his head, looked at Zizhi, Zizhang, Zhao Jin and others, and asked loudly: "Three old men, hot-blooded men who are determined to give it a try, what do you say?"

Before Zi Zhi Zizhang could speak, Zhao Jin jumped up, "Zhao Feng, I support you. Zhao Qi, this bastard, if he hadn't colluded with Jing Rufeng and insisted on forcing the king to use Jing Rufeng, how could he Given the current situation, pitiful millions of people in Jinyang have now fallen into the clutches of the Qin people. They are living a life worse than death. Kill Zhao Qi and give Zhao Qi a free rein."

Zixi Zizhang regretted attending this secret meeting. Although it was easy for Zhao Feng to say it, how difficult was it to do it? Now Handan is completely under the control of Zhao Qi, whether it is the city guard or the imperial guard, In the hands of Zhao Qi, the biggest of these young officers in the secret room is just a tooth general, and the number of troops he can command is very limited. Once an incident occurs, they can only draw their bows without turning back. If they fail, Zhao Qi will now Such madness can lead to the destruction of one's family and entire clan.

"Should we consider it in the long term?" Zizhang suggested carefully: "If we start now, we are not sure of victory?"

"There is no guarantee of victory in anything!" Zhao Feng said: "Now that the Qin people are defeated, they must retreat, and they can't go south because there is the Han Army Xu Yuan's Northern Field Army Group there, which is the most capable Han army. One of the troops fighting, the other way is from Jingdai County to Shannan County, but that road is also blocked by He Lanxiong. Wherever he wants to go, he will inevitably have a bloody battle with He Lanxiong. Now the morale of the Qin people is low, maybe He Lanxiong This opponent of the Huns? I received information that Lu Chao has sent people to contact Zhao Qi, saying that he still wants to borrow our Shanggu County to return to the country. I am worried that the Qin people will take advantage of the opportunity to kill us on the way back. At that time, not only Daijun cannot be brought back, and even Shanggu is lost. If Shanggu is lost, the Qin people will not only pick up our Hedong, Jinyang, Shanggu, but also Daijun, which is half of the country of Zhao!"

"This, this...if this is really the case, what should we do?" Zizhang said with a change of expression. "There are hundreds of thousands of people in the army under the command of Lu Chao. If we don't make preparations early, we may even destroy the country and destroy the species." It is also possible, but Zhao Qi was afraid of being beaten by the Qin people. This time he severely offended the Han State. I think he will go all the way to the dark side, so we must not let it go. This time, it is not his death. It's my death." Zhao Feng said viciously.

There was a gentle knock on the door of the secret room. Zhao Feng walked to the door, opened it a crack, looked at the housekeeper at the door, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? Didn't I tell you not to disturb us?"

"Master, someone wants to see you." The housekeeper said.

"At this time, I didn't see anyone, so I found a reason to send him away." Zhao Feng said angrily: "You are also an old man, why are you so confused about priorities?"

"Sir, the person here is General Zhou Changshou." The butler lowered his voice to a minimum.

"What did you say?" Zhao Feng almost jumped up, "Zhou Changshou is still alive? He actually returned to Handan?" He muttered and looked back at the people in the room, "Everyone, if you can excuse me for a moment, I have to meet an extremely powerful person. Important person."

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Zhao Feng closed the door and walked out.

In the lobby, a man wrapped in a cloak was respectfully saluting Zhao Mu's spiritual tablet on the arch table and offering incense.

"General, I'm back!" He put the incense in the incense burner and bowed to the visitor as a salute. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Feng who appeared at the door. He opened his cloak and He saluted Zhao Feng and said, "My eldest son, how are you always?"

"General Zhou!" Zhao Feng looked at him, "Why are you here? This is so surprising."

"In the autumn of the survival of the Zhao Dynasty, as a Zhao person, how can I not come?" Zhou Changshou sighed and said: "My eldest son, it seems that your current situation is not good. There are tigers and leopards riding around your house. There are so many people!”

"How did you get in without being discovered by them?" Zhao Feng asked with some vigilance.

"To be honest with you, I was able to enter your residence with the help of the Han Oversight Council. There are also people from them among the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry." (To be continued...)
