Chapter 1076 The next goal, Qin State
After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, several of Zhao Kuo's confidants were not surprised. They showed a eager expression on their faces.
For these confidants, they had long known Zhao Kuo's ambition to unify the world, and had always followed Zhao Kuo to work towards this goal.
Since that's the case, what Zhao Kuo is doing now is just something that must be done in unification of the world. What's the surprise?
Li Mu asked for a fight first.
"Master, I am willing to serve as the commander of the army this time, help the Master conquer Xianyang City and destroy the entire Qin State."
For Li Mu, he was absolutely unwilling to miss any war.
Joined Zhao Kuohui.
After going down, Li Mu found that he seemed to have really fallen in love with this feeling of war. The lack of time for war made him feel very bored. It can be said that he is looking forward to a new war every day.
In the past, Zhao Kuo was only one of the important officials of the State of Zhao, and it was not said that Zhao Kuo was the turn of every war. This made Li Mu very worried.
But now that Zhao Kuo controls the entire Zhao State, Li Mu no longer has any hesitation or confusion. Anyway, as long as there is a war, the battle will be over.
Looking at Li Mu's volunteering look, Zhao Kuo felt a little funny, but at the same time he was more of an appreciation for Li Mu.
What Zhao Kuo most hopes to see is a general like Li Mu. If a soldier is not wary, then he is not a qualified soldier.
Zhao Kuo smiled and said to Li Mu: "Don't worry, of course you will have a place to use it this time, but let me tell you about the entire combat plan before this."
This time the combat plan mainly comes from the General Staff, but it was also after Zhao Kuo's thinking that he finally made the final plan.
Zhao Kuo asked someone to take out the map, then took out the baton, began to point fingers on the map, and told the entire combat plan.
"Actually, our combat plan this time is very simple, it is to divide the troops into two groups. First, I personally led the main force to attack Xianyang City.
The Qin people should have arranged heavy troops here to stop my advancement.
Then I will defeat them and occupy the entire Xianyang City.”
When Zhao Kuo said this, he was quite confident and relaxed, and all Zhao Kuo's confidants present had no doubts about Zhao Kuo's things.
Everyone believes in Zhao Kuo's combat ability very much. After all, Zhao Kuo is the most capable person in the world, right?
After saying this, Zhao Kuo continued to talk about the battle plan in Part 1.
"But, if you only pass through Xianyang directly, then after occupying Xianyang, some of the Qin people may pass through Hanzhong and flee to the Bashu Basin.
So Li Mu, you are responsible for leading a army and horse from Nanyang County to go upstream along the Han River, attacking the Hanzhong Plain, occupying Hanzhong for me, and completely cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Bashu, the Qin State."
In this era of cold weapons, the Qin State's terrain actually had a great defensive advantage. Whether it is Guanzhong, which has been chosen for generations, Hanzhong or Bashu, which are in the basin, they are all places where the enemy has a very difficult attack.
However, this kind of place may be more difficult for others to fight, and it is not that difficult for Zhao Kuoyan. After all, Zhao Kuo is the most top strategic master in the world.
After hearing this task, Li Mu couldn't help but be overjoyed and nodded repeatedly to indicate that there was absolutely no problem.
For Li Mu, as long as he can fight, it is enough. Whether he can become the chief general is actually not very important.
What's more, the main general this time was Zhao Kuo himself, and Li Mu was the only one who was convinced in this world was Zhao Kuo, so it was even more impossible for him to have any opinions.
Zhao Kuo continued to say to Li Mu: "If you conquer Hanzhong and I have not led the army south yet, you can continue to attack Bashu south and strive to make Bashu a breakthrough. In this way, my main force will save a lot of energy at that time.
Can it be done?"
Li Mu did not think so completely and immediately replied to Zhao Kuo loudly: "Please don't worry, Lord, I will do my best to do my best and never let Lord down."
Zhao Kuo also felt very relieved when he looked eager to try Li Mu.
It is necessary to have this momentum that one can truly become a famous general in history books.
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Xu Li said, "If the lord leaves Handan, then who will be responsible for the matter in Handan next?"
The academic qualifications themselves are not opposed to Zhao Kuo's need to be exiled to Qin. After all, everyone knows that other kings may be taking risks when they go to the imperial throne, but Zhao Kuo's fight is truly stable and the choice to win 100%.
Zhao Kuo had already thought about this matter for a long time and said, "According to the previous arrangement, if something really happens, you can deal with it after discussing it, but some more important matters still need to be sent to the west first and let me make a decision myself.
By the way, in order to prevent the Chu people from doing anything after I left, this time, I decided to mobilize 100,000 troops in Handan City to enter the Chu areas we just occupied to deter the Chu people.
As long as the King of Chu is not a fool, I believe they should not have the courage to provoke us."
When Zhao Guo said this, his expression was actually quite relaxed. The situation Zhao Kuo is facing now is completely different from last year.
Last year, Zhao Kuo had just seized power successfully.
King Zhao still has a large number of supporters in Zhao, and it can be said that it is in a very unstable state.
But a year passed, Zhao Kuo successfully stabilized the hearts of most people in Zhao State with the victory of the war. At the same time, through the restoration of King Zhao, all the forces loyal to King Zhao were captured in one place.
Now Zhao State has been completely controlled by Zhao Kuo, so Zhao Kuo can continue to launch wars against the outside world without any scruples, so as to strive to unify the entire world as quickly as possible.
Even now, Zhao Qian, the eldest son of Zhao State, is still just a small boy. If he spends another 10 or 8 years, Zhao Kuo can directly ask Zhao Qian to supervise the country and go out to fight in person.
After hearing Zhao Kuo’s arrangements, Xu Li and others did not raise any objections, and the matter ended like this.
Compared with the previous period of King Zhao's rule, every time he went to war, he had to have a big fight, compared to this war resolution, which was unexpected and had a very amazing efficiency.
This is what Zhao Kuo was thinking about before, and the benefits of improving efficiency through power. To be honest, Zhao Kuo felt that if Zhao Kuo had taken power in the Battle of Changping more than 10 years ago, then the entire process of unifying the world would have been over long ago, and a new dynasty should have been established.
This is because Zhao Kuo cannot determine his identity when traveling through time. Otherwise, if he traveled directly to the previous generation of Zhao King at the beginning, everything would be much easier to get through, and it would be considered a small loss of time travel.
But no matter what, Zhao Kuo must be unable to continue to care about it in such a place. In short, this matter was completely decided in this way.
Soon, spring is coming, and another year of spring is here.
Zhao Kuo also went down to the farmland to understand the people's sentiments and chat with some farmers.
In this era, many farmers have been on the battlefield and fought with Zhao Kuo with fruit, so they are quite brave. When chatting with Zhao Kuo, there are often some sharp words, and some people even complain to Zhao Kuo in public about how corrupt the officials there are.
Zhao Kuo often immediately asked the Nightingale's people to go out to investigate secretly after hearing these complaints. Once the investigation found that the situation was true, the official would be immediately dismissed and sentenced to prison.
This is nothing different from a very novel anti-corruption method, and it also sounded a wake-up call to officials from all over Zhao State. They secretly called this method "field anti-corruption."
After the spring plowing ended, the war machine of Zhao State began to rumble.
This immediately attracted the attention of Qin and Chu. The supreme leaders of these two countries were immediately just their spies in Zhao, and they asked the spies to do their best to investigate which country Zhao was targeting.
It is impossible to hide such a large-scale action from others, so a few days later, the kings of Qin and Chu were rewarded.
"What did you say?
The State of Zhao has actually mobilized a large amount of troops, food, grass and supplies to the west, right on the border between our Qin and Zhao?"
In the Qin Palace in Xianyang City, when Ying Zichu heard this, his mentality suddenly collapsed.
Ying Zichu knew very well what this actually means?
This shows that Zhao Kuo and Zhao have regarded Qin as their next target of attack.
Although there are only three countries left in the world, Qin and Chu each share half of the probability, when this half of the probability falls on themselves, Ying Zichu really can't laugh at all.
Ying Zichu couldn't laugh, but in the same palace, two people almost burst into laughter.
Needless to say, these two people are Lu Buwei and Mao Sui.
For many years, Lu Buwei and Mao Sui have been acting as undercover agents for Zhao Kuo in the Qin State.
This life has passed for a long time, and they have already started to get used to it. Sometimes they even vaguely feel that they may be a Qin native.
But it was not until they heard the news that Zhao Kuo attacked Qin again that the two of them suddenly came to their senses. The excitement and joy in their hearts could be said to be about to emerge.
Because they knew that Zhao Kuo would not do anything again this time, and the trick of ceding the land and retreating after conquering Xianyang, they would rather directly destroy Qin.
That is, the current situation is wrong, otherwise, Lu Buwei and Mao Sui would definitely jump up and shout directly.
Ying Zichu calmed down and spoke to the Qin ministers in front of him: "If the information is true, then Zhao Kuo, the damn guy, should indeed lead the army to attack our Qin Dynasty.
We must find a way to make a preparation first, otherwise once Zhao Kuo attacks, everything will be too late.
If you have any strategy now, just speak freely. As long as it works, I will definitely be rewarded."
It can be seen that Ying Zichu is indeed very panicked. He even has to put out bounties, hoping to obtain a useful strategy.
But the question is, can the Qin ministers present really come up with such a strategy for Ying Zichu?
The answer is obviously no.
If such a plan could be really come up with, then someone in Qin would have reported these plans to Ying Zichu and take credit. How could he have to wait until now when it seems that he is about to end his life?
After waiting for a while, there was still a silence.
At this moment, Wang Jian finally stood up and said, "Report to the king, even if we don't want to fight, we must have a war with Zhao State.
Although Wang Jian was not talented, he was willing to lead our Qin army to resist the offensive of Zhao. He would definitely not let the people of Zhao attack to Xianyang City, and would definitely ensure the safety of our Guanzhong."
As a soldier, Wang Jian actually knew that the situation in Qin was already very critical at this time, and it would not be an exaggeration to use danger as if it were exhausted.
But it is precisely because of this that Wang Jian is more willing to stand up and volunteer, just to save his motherland from danger.
Ying Zichu looked at Wang Jian and didn't say anything for several seconds.
From Ying Zichu's perspective, he certainly admires Wang Jian, a loyal warrior who is willing to stand up in times of crisis and resists foreign enemies for the country.
But the problem is that Ying Zichu is really not optimistic about Wang Jian’s ability to defeat Zhao Kuo.
If Wang Jian cannot defeat Zhao Kuo, then everything will be a mirror and a castle in the sky.
After Wang Jian spoke, the prime minister of Qin, Fan Sui, also spoke.
"Report to the king, in the current situation, we must send people to Chu State to ask for help immediately. If Chu State can send troops to help, it can help us share some pressure."
Ying Zichu nodded when she heard this, expressed her agreement with Fan Sui's words, and immediately assigned Fan Sui to take his people to Chu State for help.
After waiting for a while, Ying Zichu confirmed something, that is, the other ministers were indeed a group of waste and had no idea at all.
So Ying Zichu no longer hesitated and immediately issued an order.
"This war still uses Meng Ao as the main general and Wang Jian as the deputy general, leading all the troops we can mobilize in Daqin to fight against Zhao State.
No matter what, you must block Zhao Kuo and don’t let Zhao Kuo’s delusion succeed!”
