Chapter 419 The shocked Zhao Shuo
After Zhao Yong heard what Bu Wei and Cheng Tai said, he also looked hesitant.
Zhao Yong's character is actually relatively weak. Before he ascended to the throne, he had been living a life of luxury.
After ascending to the throne, all major issues were resolved by his uncle Zhao Zhang and cousin Zhao Shuo.
And all he needs to do is sit on the throne, stamp his jade seal on the memorial submitted by Zhao Zhang and Zhao Shuo.
He never thought that one day, he would be able to decide the future of Zhao country.
Now Zhao Yong looked at the two parties arguing with each other in the main hall, and he didn't know whose words he should listen to.
"If the king has difficulty making a decision, it is better to recruit Zhao Shuo back." Cheng Tai said.
"Let my cousin come back?" Zhao Yong was stunned.
"Yes, Your Majesty, now the General's army has been besieged in Danhe. The only one we can use now is Zhao Shuo's army."
"At this time, whether you want to send troops to rescue the general or return to defend Fenghao, you need the support of the army."
"Now the army led by Zhao Shuo is useless if it continues to be stationed in Jinghe River, so I think it is better to let Zhao Shuo lead the army back. In this way, no matter whether we surrender in the end or not to Qin, we will still have a certain degree of success.
The ability to protect yourself." Chengtai said.
After Zhao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, "What Daliang Zao said is true, so let's do this for today."
"In addition, I sent someone to inform my cousin to come back as soon as possible, and then also told the envoy of Qin that I need to discuss with Zhao's ministers and ask him to wait a few more days." Zhao Yong waved his hand tiredly.
Then he stood up and walked towards the harem.
Soon, Zhao Yong's order was delivered to Zhao Shuo who was still at the Jinghe camp in the form of a six hundred-mile expedited journey.
After Zhao Shuo received Zhao Yong's order, he also knew that the matter was urgent and quickly called the generals in the army to arrange the retreat.
When the Zhao army began to prepare to break camp, the Qin army on the other side of the river rejected an envoy, saying that Han Xin wanted to meet Zhao Shuo.
Although Zhao Shuo didn't know what Han Xin wanted to do, he still agreed to meet Han Xin.
"General Zhao." Han Xin sat on the horse, looked at Zhao Shuo who had arrived late, and said with a smile.
"General Han, I don't know why you asked me out?" Zhao Shuo looked at Han Xin and said indifferently.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. General Zhao, does he know what happened when King Zhao asked General Zhao to return to Fenghao this time?" Han Xin asked.
"General Han, are you here to humiliate me?" Zhao Shuo said with evil eyes.
"General Zhao, you misunderstood. I just wanted to tell General Zhao that my king has no intention of annexing Zhao. In addition, my king has a letter to give to the general." Han Xin shook his head and said.
"How did King Qin know that I was going to meet Feng Hao?" Zhao Shuo asked with a frown.
"Of course this is what General Zhao Zhang said." Han Xin said with a smile.
"Uncle?" Zhao Shuo was stunned.
Although Zhao Shuo looked confused, he still took the letter from Han Xin.
But after he read the contents of the letter, his face kept changing expressions.
"I understand." After a long time, Zhao Shuo said to Han Xin. "I will explain it to the king after I return to Fenghao."
In fact, Zhao Shuo's heart at this time was very complicated.
He did not expect that his uncle would write him a letter telling him the content of his conversation with King Qin.
Moreover, the letter was full of yearning for life in Qin. At the same time, he also mentioned an important point, which was how Qin would deal with the princes of various countries after it took back its military power.
Zhao Shuo felt that he should rush back to Fenghao as soon as possible and tell his cousin, Zhao Yong, about the incident.
"General Han, I will rush back to Fenghao and this army as soon as possible."
Before Zhao Shuo finished speaking, Han Xin interrupted directly and said, "Don't worry, although it is impossible for me to abandon the Jinghe Camp, I can also guarantee that I will not send troops to pursue you."
"That's it, thank you very much." Zhao Shuo also knew that it was enough for Han Xin to give up the pursuit when he was still unsure whether Zhao was an enemy or a friend.
"General Zhao is so polite. Maybe you and I will become officials in the same court." Han Xin smiled at Zhao Shuo.
"Then I won't delay General Zhao. If I have a chance, I'll treat General Zhao to a drink." With that, Han Xin turned and left.
Zhao Shuo looked at Han Xin's back with a complicated look on his face.
When Zhao Shuo rushed to Fenghao in a hurry, it was already three days later.
A chamberlain stood at the gate of Feng Hao's east city with an anxious look on his face.
When he saw Zhao Shuo, he hurriedly greeted him.
"See the young master." The chamberlain saluted Zhao Shuo, and then continued, "The king is waiting in the palace. He said that the young master has returned to Fenghao, so he went immediately."
"Got it." Zhao Shuo nodded, then ignored the servant and rode directly towards the palace.
Originally, it stands to reason that when in the city, no one is allowed to ride on horseback except for the scouts conveying military information.
At this time, Zhao Shuo no longer cared about this, and just rode towards the palace at a much slower speed than in the wild.
"My lord, Zhao Shuo, pay homage to the king." Zhao Shuo ran all the way to Zhao Yong's palace and saluted Zhao Yong.
"My cousin is back." When Zhao Yong heard Zhao Shuo's voice, he was immediately overjoyed.
These days, he felt like he really couldn't hold on any longer.
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that I'm back." Zhao Shuo looked at Zhao Yong, and his eyes were a little moist.
He knew his cousin very well. In fact, according to Zhao Shuo's opinion, Zhao Yong was not suitable to be a king at all.
Because his heart is too soft and his character is very cowardly. But Zhao Yong has advantages that others do not have.
He attaches great importance to family ties, which is very precious to Zhao Shuo, who was born in an imperial family.
"Cousin, the envoy of Qin is still in the posthouse waiting for news from our country, Zhao. What should we do?" Zhao Yong said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, this is why I came back this time." Zhao Shuo said to Zhao Yong, "I want to know what Your Majesty thinks of this matter when I come back."
"Cousin, actually at this point in the war between Qin and Zhao, there is no longer any hope of continuing. But Qin's requirements are too harsh."
"Did you know? The State of Qin requires our State of Zhao to hand over all its military power, and our State of Zhao has nothing but its name and title." Zhao Yong said with some frustration.
"How does this make me face my ancestors?"
"Uncle Wang wrote me a letter about this matter." After saying that, Zhao Shuo took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yong. "Your Majesty, you can read Uncle Wang's letter first, and then
Say it again."
After hearing Zhao Shuo's words, Zhao Yong opened the letter and read it.
But soon, like Zhao Shuo, he also looked shocked.
"What? King Qin actually delegated power like this?" Zhao Yong exclaimed involuntarily.
