Chapter 621: Zhao Mu's Idea

If we say which country in the Central Plains is the most dazzling this year, there is no doubt that it is Zhao. Jing Rufeng of Hedong County fought with Wang Xiao and wiped out tens of thousands of Qin's elites. Hangu Pass was once again in a hurry, forcing Li Xin to have to He gave up his plan to continue attacking Wei, and withdrew his troops back to the country to assist Hangu Pass, thus once again delaying Qin's plan to conquer the world. This battle also inspired everyone in the Zhao Kingdom. The most proud among them was none other than the King of Zhao, Zhao Wuji. Jing Rufeng's battle almost completely eliminated the impact of Zilan's capture of Shannan County. After all, Shannan County was located in a remote location and the defender was unknown, but the one Jing Rufeng defeated was a famous one. Wang Xiao.

This year, the State of Zhao can be regarded as prosperous. Defeating Qin twice in a row, Qin had to curb its troops and send people to Zhao to negotiate peace. This also made Zhao Wuji turn his attention back to China. Of course, his attention turned to Zilan.

After one year, Daijun has become more prosperous. Although Zilan sent his eldest son to Jicheng, he has not stopped expanding his army. This year, the number of Daijun soldiers has reached 50,000. Although it was nominally to guard against the Qin army's attack on Shannan County, how could Zhao Wuji rest assured that Zilan would have such a powerful army, especially when the tiger and leopard cavalry under Zhao Qi's control came back from the intelligence, which made Zhao Wuji even more worried. Restless.

The army of Daijun indeed had a deep collusion with Gao Yuan, the general of the Yan State who conquered the east. Just like the crossbows equipped by the army of Yan, the army of Daijun had at least thousands of them. What is even more worrying is that they took advantage of the relationship with Gao Yuan. Through the cooperative relationship, Zilan even obtained thousands of war horses. Today, Daijun already has 5,000 cavalry.

Dai Jun's strength has made Zhao Wuji restless. How to deal with this threat is a question that Zhao Wuji thinks about day and night.

However, no one expected that at this pass, the Taiwei of Zhao State would appear. General Zhao Mu was not in Handan, but arrived at the border of Yanzhao quietly, all over the city.

Although it was already late at night, Zhao Mu was still buried in a large pile of information sent back by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Although it had been sorted out by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Zhao Mu still felt that something was missing. He has been in the city for nearly a month, and his purpose is to bring Yuyang County into the arms of Zhao State.

The battle between Qin and Zhao shocked not only Qin and Zhao. Jiang Xinliang was also horrified. He once again saw the powerful strength of Zhao, known as the second most powerful country in the world. For Jiang Xinliang, he hugged the thighs of that force if they had thick legs. This was what he believed was the way to survive. With the power of Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, he overthrew his father and took control of the real power of Yuyang. , does not mean that he thinks that he is unaware of Tan Feng and Zhou Yu's plans. The Yan State court was driven by these two people and the king. The prefecture and county system implemented by the Qin State is being implemented step by step. In the past two years, except for his Yuyang County and Gao Yuan's control of Liaoxi and Hejian. They have already taken them all down. Gao Yuan has great strength in his hands, and is currently fighting against Dong Hu. The imperial court also hopes that Gao Yuan can defeat Dong Hu in a fight that will hurt both sides, so they can eliminate two major enemies in one fell swoop. So I won't touch him for the time being, but it's different for me.

Transaction with Gao Yuan.

It's just part of Jiang Xinliang's plan. The Eastern Expeditionary Army has sharp weapons and rich war horses. Exchanging the iron ore in Yuyang County for these things will benefit Jiang Xinliang without any harm. It will improve the combat effectiveness of his army, which is very important for Jiang Xinliang. urgent problem to be solved.

In order to firmly maintain his position of power, Jiang Xinliang knew very well that he had to rely on external forces. Gao Yuan could not count on him. Therefore, when Zhao extended an olive branch at this time, Jiang Xinliang accepted it without hesitation. Come over.

Zhao State did not implement a system of prefectures and counties. Even if he voted for it, it would just be a flag change on top of the city. Jiang Xinliang did not have any psychological burden. His hesitation now is just a gesture to show the envoys of Zhao State. Getting the maximum benefit from Zhao State is his real purpose.

In the past few months of negotiations between the two parties, he has successfully obtained thousands of pieces of Kaijia and tens of thousands of weapons and armors from Zhao. What Jiang Xinliang didn't know was that the person who presided over this negotiation was Zhao Mu himself, but he did not come forward in person.

Zhao Mu has clearly judged Jiang Xinliang's original intention. For a guy who has decided to join Zhao State, Zhao Mu is not afraid of giving him a benefit. In the end, these things are still named Zhao.

The capture of Yuyang County was of great significance to the State of Zhao. In the past, taking the whole city and five other cities was just a strategic advantage over the Yan State. However, once Jiang Xinliang leads the entire Yuyang County to join the Zhao State, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the Yan State. With such a blow, Yan's road to rejuvenation would also come to an abrupt end. Since then, the State of Zhao has really been able to ask for anything from the State of Yan. Now in the State of Yan, the only ones with real combat effectiveness are the soldiers of Yuyang County and Gaoyuan's Eastern Expeditionary Army. However, these two armies can be said to be superficial to the State of Yan. With Shenli away, the Eastern Expeditionary Army went to war with Donghu. Unable to distract themselves, the troops from Yuyang County returned to Zhao State, and the Yan people almost lost their chance.

The Qin State is powerful, and one or two battle victories cannot change the situation of Qin being strong and Zhao being weak. Qin's temporary weakness is just because it has just won South Korea and has not had time to digest it. Zhao Mu believes that as long as Qin will general After South Korea has digested it, the horn of war will sound again. This time may be one or two years, or it may be three to five years. What he has to do is to use this precious time to desperately strengthen the power of Zhao State. .

Wei is now the outpost against the Qin people. Not only can it not move, but it must also help them become stronger. The stronger the watchdog, the better. However, the Yan people hiding behind Zhao State are secretly planning, but they cannot hide it from Zhao Mu. Zhao Mu's ultimate goal is to completely defeat him and even take him as his own.

Qin State wants to be strong, so Zhao State also wants to be strong. Qin State wants to sweep the world, so doesn't Zhao State want to? If Yan State is taken down, and Gao Yuan in Liaoxi and Donghu in Liaodong are defeated, it is still uncertain who will win the battle between Zhao State and Qin State?

King Zhao took advantage of Jing Rufeng's defeat of Wang Xiao and generously rewarded him. He promoted Jing Rufeng to the general. This was also to contain him. Zhao Mu saw this very clearly, but he didn't care. Jing Rufeng now hated the Qin people extremely. If the battle of Hedong was just to sweep away King Wulie of Qin and prove his value to King Zhao, then when Hedong was defeated and the Qin people dug up his ancestral graves, he hated the Qin people extremely. Zhao Mu was happy to see such a talented guy who was familiar with the Qin people lead the war against Qin.

No matter how good Jing Rufeng was at fighting, there was one thing that could not be changed. He was also a Qin person, so he could only contain himself, but could not replace himself. Zhao Mu now looked at everything from the position of Taiwei. He was planning the overall situation and the great cause of Zhao's dominance over the world. Therefore, he really didn't care about the little tricks of King Zhao.

"Changshou, come and take a look at these pieces of information?" Zhao Mu raised his head, rubbed his temples, and looked at Zhou Changshou who had just walked into the house. Zhou Changshou was originally a fierce general of the Hedong Camp. He and Wu Zeng were both Zhao Mu's trusted generals. After Jing Rufeng entered the Hedong Camp, Zhao Mu kept Wu Zeng. After all, Wu Zeng had been in the Hedong Camp for many years and was familiar with the military affairs there, so he could help Jing Rufeng. The transfer of Zhou Changshou was also a statement by Zhao Mu to Jing Rufeng that he would not be a hindrance to him. Otherwise, Wu Zeng and Zhou Changshou were in the Hedong Camp together, and Jing Rufeng could be easily sidelined.

Jing Rufeng was not a stupid person. He understood Zhao Mu's good intentions. After taking office, he not only did not reduce Wu Zeng's military power, but also vigorously promoted Zhao Mu's son Zhao Feng who was still in the Hedong Camp. It was precisely because of this that the Hedong Camp was united and defeated Wang Xiao in a battle that changed the course of the world. However, after this battle, Jing Rufeng also began to rectify the Hedong Camp. It seems that Wu Zeng's days in the Hedong Camp are numbered. Zhao Mu has decided that after the matter of Yuyang County is over, Wu Zeng will be transferred to the border of Yan and Wei to command the army, so that he can reinforce Wei at any time to prevent the Qin army from making a comeback.

The war against Yan State will naturally be presided over by Zhou Changshou. Two years at the shortest and five years at the longest is the time for him to manage Yan State. This is the timetable Zhao Mu set for himself.

Zhou Changshou pulled a chair and sat next to Zhao Mu. He was Zhao Mu's old general. When they were alone together, there was not so much etiquette. He took over several pieces of intelligence from Zhao Mu and looked at them carefully, but did not find anything strange. They were all very normal military forces, official transfers and the movements of important officials in the court.

"General, there is nothing special?" Zhou Changshou shook his head, a little puzzled.

Zhao Mu frowned, "I didn't pay attention to these at first, but today I suddenly had a whim. The time agreed with Jiang Xinliang is getting closer and closer, but I feel more and more uneasy. So I found out the information during this period and read it again!" He pulled out a piece of paper from the table. On it were some people, place names and lines connecting these people and place names, and these lines ultimately pointed to one target, Yuyang.

Zhou Changshou stood up suddenly, "The Yan court has noticed the movements of Yuyang County. Tan Feng is going to attack Jiang Xinliang."

"I think so too, but I haven't figured out how Tan Feng will do it? Could it be that Tan Feng has already controlled the army under Jiang Xinliang? If so, doesn't it mean that Tan Feng has already started planning today's events a long time ago? If he really wants to do this, I'm afraid Tan Feng has already started planning when Jiang Dawei is still in charge."

At this point, Zhao Mu and Zhou Changshou looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

"Changshou, gather the troops immediately and march to Yuyang." Zhao Mu shouted.

"Yes, Taiwei, please order the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry General He Kailai immediately and tell him to inform Jiang Xinliang that the matter has been exposed and to take action immediately." Zhou Changshou said. (To be continued...)
