Chapter 450 Do you want to kill Wei Wuji by the way?
For Handan City and the entire Zhao State, this spring in 257 BC was definitely an unforgettable spring.
In this spring, hundreds of thousands of military and civilians of Handan of Zhao resisted the attack from the coalition forces of Wei and Qi, and held on until the last moment of victory.
After capturing Daliang City, Li Mu, who was prepared, successfully intercepted many ships that escaped from the city. Finally, he found King Wei and Duan Ganzi disguised as if they were completely inconspicuous on one of the small boats.
In fact, not only the King of Wei was captured, but many ministers of the Wei State also fell into Li Mu's hands.
At any time, as long as the powerful and powerful people do not face a complete desperate situation, it is always much easier for them to survive than ordinary people.
After all, the resources owned by both parties are not on the same level at all.
After catching these large piles of big fish, Li Mu was satisfied and led the Zhao State and the South Korean coalition to head north and head directly to Handan.
It was at this time that Li Mu received the news that the main force of Zhao led by Lian Po had returned eastward to Shangdang County. In just a few more days, he would be able to attack Li Mu and fight back against the Wei and Qi coalition forces outside Handan City.
However, just when Li Mu received the news from Lian Po, Zhao Dan from Handan City also arrived.
Zhao Dan's order is actually very simple, that is, the war is temporarily over.
After learning that Daliang City was captured, Wei Wuji immediately issued an order to withdraw his troops and sent an envoy to Handan City, hoping to negotiate peace with Zhao State.
On the other hand, Kuang Liang, the general of the Qi army who was jointly attacking Zhao's Handan City with Wei State, saw that the situation was not good, even directly pulled out his camp and retreated, retreating all the way back to Qi State.
As a result, this war that lasted for several months and involved most of the seven countries in the Warring States Period was at least temporarily over for Zhao State.
The reason why it is said to be a temporary end is that there is another very important step that has not been completed yet.
This is of course the peace talks between Zhao and Wei.
Of course, if you put it more vulgarly, it can actually be regarded as the bloodletting of the State of Zhao on Wei.
Of course, the winner needs to enjoy the benefits of victory, right?
"Since the brothers Wei Wuji and King Wei dare to betray the alliance with me, they must be mentally prepared to pay the price. I must make the whole world understand that there will be no good end to betray me and Zhao State!"
This is what Zhao Dan said in a decisive tone on the discussion of the Zhao State in Handan City.
This time, the Zhao Dynasty discussion was actually very lively.
Because it not only gathers seven important officials of Zhao State and many ministers who have gained popularity in Handan City, but also includes the county magistrates of major places in Zhao State, the heads of the Northern Border Cavalry, the leaders of the Lin Huloufan Division, etc., which basically cover all important figures in the military and political aspects of Zhao State.
After all, Handan City has been surrounded for so long and has lost contact with the outside world for a long time, so many things need to be restored and many things need to be communicated again. This is definitely not a simple project.
In order to prevent some things from arguing and quarrel between the central and local governments due to the isolation of these months, Zhao Dan simply summoned all the people and minds in the local area back.
After Zhao Dan set a tone for the meeting, the ministers of Zhao State rushed to speak.
"King, since Wei State is so hateful, and now Daliang City has been defeated by Li Mu, then the king might as well directly lead his troops south to destroy the Wei State to serve as a warning to you."
As soon as these words were said, they immediately received many people's approval.
After all, all the people present were Zhao, and they hated Wei's rebellion very much.
Moreover, the capital of Wei State, Daliang City, has been captured. In addition, the main force of Wei State led by Wei Wuji has been blocked by Li Mu and the Korean troops, and it is impossible to retreat to the territory of Wei State on the south bank of the Yellow River.
As long as Zhao Dan was willing, he would be able to send troops together with Lian Po and Li Mu to attack Wei Wuji in a dilemma.
Among them, the ones who shouted the most violently were Zhao Dan’s two uncles, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao.
Needless to say, Zhao Sheng has become the prime minister of Zhao. These days, he has been in the city of Handan every day and has to deal with a lot of trivial matters. Naturally, he has a deep hatred for Wei.
Even though King Wei and Wei Wuji were both Zhao Sheng's brother-in-law, Zhao Sheng did not intend to give up this strong lesson and even destroy the Wei State.
Of course, not everyone is a war-firmist.
During this battle, Pang Qian, who was in charge of Handan's defense, stood up and poured cold water on the main war factions.
"Now that our soldiers fought one after another, and then traveled a long distance to return from Guanzhong to Handan, they must be extremely tired. If they fought in such a state, would they really defeat Wei Wuji's troops?"
Zhao Sheng was very unhappy when he heard this and immediately glared at Pang Xian fiercely: "Pang Qing, do you think that my great Zhao Xiong army will be defeated by Wei Wuji now?"
Pang Qi nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "The arrogant army will be defeated, Pingyuan Jun. Although Wei Wuji retreated, the strength of the Wei army has not been damaged. If Wei Wuji led the Wei army to fight to the death, wouldn't it be a disaster?"
It was not just Pang Xian. Ju Xin, who served as Pang Xian's deputy in this defense battle in Handan, also stood up and also clearly opposed continuing to send troops.
So the whole court immediately started a big debate.
Zhao Dan looked at the court in front of him that had become a mess, and couldn't help but shook his head powerlessly.
To be honest, there is still a monarch Zhao Dan who can make a decision now. The Zhao court has become arguing like this. Zhao Dan doesn't even dare to imagine how the quarrels who were divided into many parties in later Western parliaments without a strong leader would quarrel.
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Dan turned his eyes to Lian Po, who had been sitting aside without speaking, and asked: "Mr. Wu Xin, in your opinion, will this battle be fought or not?"
Lian Po rushed back to participate in this grand court discussion. The main force of Zhao State was actually still in Shangdang County, led by deputy general Le Cheng to slowly advance eastward.
In any case, Lian Po is also the most promising general in Zhao State now, and even the most famous general in the entire Chinese world today, and the person who is the most capable of fighting in Zhao State.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with listening to the opinions of such professionals.
Lian Po seemed to be prepared for a long time. After hearing what Zhao Dan said, he immediately stood up, bowed to Zhao Dan, and then spoke.
"King, from the perspective of the minister, you can fight in this battle, or you can not fight."
