Chapter 550 I have a perfect chance of winning this battle!
Most of the aristocratic families are everywhere. Li Mu's Li and Li Xin's Li are one Li.
One is a general in Qin, and the other is a general in Zhao.
"Ten thousand defeated three thousand and lost..."
Li Mu, who had just returned from the northwest, paused for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say.
Li Xin lowered his head, stood upright, and stood at attention after being beaten. He did not say anything about the reason why I don't know the enemy, but the enemy knows me.
When a military strategist loses, he or she loses. No one knows whether a life will be lost due to this failure. There is no chance of a new life. Looking for an explanation is not an excuse but a courting of death.
"Let's have a baby soon."
The uncle walked past, leaving only one sentence without beginning or end, and his tone was very flat.
Li Xin, who was not severely scolded, was not relieved, but felt extremely uncomfortable. He wished his uncle could scold him at this time.
If you don't scold him, you have no expectations for him. He wants him to have a son as soon as possible to carry on the family line and raise the third generation of the Li family.
Li Xin felt very humiliated and felt that the eyes of all the soldiers present were on him. The strong emotion brought about by this shame completely overwhelmed his desire for military success.
No matter how harshly Meng Tian, the brother with a different surname, scolded him when no one was around, he was far inferior to Li Mu's two words of understatement in public, which were not even a scolding.
A palm was placed on Li Mu's shoulder, and he whispered beside Li Mu:
"Don't let others look down upon my brother."
Li Xin had just heard this sentence two days ago. He turned around with an expressionless face and met Meng Tian's face that also lacked emotion.
"The world is still uncertain."
Meng Tian whispered.
"The world is still uncertain."
Li Xin repeated.
This is what the Second Emperor said.
"The world is still uncertain, and you and I are both dark horses."
The rogue general asked with a flattering smile:
"Your Majesty, I was born in a remote area and have limited knowledge. May I ask why this is a dark horse?"
The second emperor was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking.
"The horse that starts behind during a horse race, but eventually catches up and runs to first place."
During the reign of the second emperor, the Qin State maintained a relatively fair competition mechanism from top to bottom.
Hard work is really useful in this world.
On the other side, two generals of Zhao State who were both abandoned by Zhao, two of the four recognized generals of the Warring States Period, finally met in their hometown ten years later.
The four famous generals of the Warring States Period were Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Li Mu, and Lian Po. Qin and Zhao each had two generals, but their final outcomes were very different.
Qin used it and conquered the world.
Zhao abandoned it and was destroyed by Qin.
Li Mu and Lian Po stood together, and they both looked towards Handan, where they had both been in high spirits and scolded Fang Qiu in the court hall.
“How much meat can you eat?”
Li Mu asked.
"Are you still drinking?"
Lian Po asked.
The two looked at each other.
The older one said:
"One meal can eat ten kilograms."
Young said:
"I no longer know what it feels like."
A veteran is still a veteran, and an alcoholic is not an alcoholic.
The flow of water in the Zhang River is neither fast nor slow, and the sun is high in the sky.
The four generals of the Qin State set foot in Zhao territory, met each other from then on, and separated from each other. They divided their forces to attack Handan in all directions without a leader.
The young will not give way to the old, the nephew will not give way to the uncle, and the younger brother will not give way to the elder.
In Handan, the color of the king's flag with the character "Zhao" printed on the city head is seven points red and three points green.
All countries have colors, which are closely related to the five elements.
The Wei State has the virtue of fire, which is red.
South Korea is woody and green.
The State of Zhao, which came out of the Jin State together with Wei and Han, and was once one with the State of Jin, has Fire Virtue as its main component and Wood Virtue as its supplement, which means seven points are red and three points are green.
In Zhao Palace, Zhao Wang Zhang Er was wearing royal clothes, his face was as sinking as water.
The style of this king's clothing is close to that of Hu clothing, or it is Hu clothing, with short clothes and narrow sleeves. Zhao is the only country where the king's clothing is so unusual.
The main body of the royal uniform is dark red, and the sleeves tightened at the wrists are dark green. The specially chosen dark color reduces the vitality brought by bright colors, and also reduces the affinity, adding depression and seriousness.
At the beginning, the uniforms of King Zhao were no different from those of other countries. They all had long pleats and a high crown and waist.
After King Wuling of Zhao succeeded to the throne, he wanted to revitalize the State of Zhao and decided to imitate the Hufu, whose equestrian skills were far superior to those of the Central Plains. The first step was to start with clothing.
This policy, which enabled Zhao to rise and become one of the most powerful countries in the Warring States Period, was initially implemented, and there was a lot of opposition in the DPRK, saying:
"I have never heard of a great national master named Hu Ye."
King Wuling of Zhao could not support him and insisted on going his own way. Four days later, he went to court and wore the modified royal robe that was almost identical to the Hu robe except for the color.
The ministers were shocked, and they all expressed their wishes to change him. Their words were extremely fierce.
King Wuling of Zhao ignored him and paraded in the streets wearing Hu costumes. When the people saw this, they all imitated him. From then on, Hu costumes became a common dress in the Zhao state, and Zhao Wang costumes were also called Hu costumes.
Zhang Er twisted his body uncomfortably, feeling uncomfortable both mentally and physically.
He looked down upon the Hu people, and even more looked down upon the Hu clothes, which were only worn by slaves.
"Four-way rout!"
He slapped the battle report onto the desk with a vivid embroidery of a goshawk.
The sun was setting outside the hall, and the soft red-yellow light shone through the window lattice into the hall, illuminating the balconies, beams and pillars, and Zhao Chen, who was standing compactly.
Destroyed during the war ten years ago and recently renovated, the palace has lost its newness and is filled with old people, like a yellowed old photo.
"Who can lead the army to go on an expedition! Protect our country, Zhao Sheji!"
The ministers remained silent, and no one dared to answer Qin Feng's greetings.
The leading generals on the four fronts are all famous generals.
Putting aside Meng Tian and Li Xin, the two Qin generals who participated in the first Qin war to destroy the Six Kingdoms, and just talking about the two famous Zhao generals Li Mu and Lian Po, they completely dispelled the idea of confrontation between Zhao's military generals.
Except for the Qin people, no one understands Li Mu and Lian Po better than the Zhao people.
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Er became even more angry. He grabbed the bottles, pens, and battle reports on the table, grabbing whatever they could, and threw them at Zhao Chen like a madman.
"What about your bloody nature! Isn't your Zhao State the least inferior to others? Don't you hate the Qin State the most?"
Zhao State has a bloody spirit and its people are strong and strong, but those ministers with a bloody spirit had already died in the Battle of Handan ten years ago and would not survive now.
Those Zhao people shouted "Zhao people will never surrender to Qin", fought with long swords and spears until the last moment of their lives, and perished with the country.
And these people in the hall are all old Zhao nobles. They were nobles who struggled to hold swords and bent their knees very easily. If they had that blood in their bones, they would not be standing here.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Standing in front of the ministers, Wukong's expression changed as he was not hit by anything.
Zhang Er was too impatient and said the wrong thing. How could he talk about you, Zhao Guo?
"What did the king say? Your country of Zhao? Has the king never regarded himself as a member of Zhao from the beginning to the end?"
An old man with gray hair stared at Zhang Er, his words were sharp and full of hostility.
"Has your Majesty forgotten how he came to sit on the throne?"
"Zhao people, Wei people, hey, your Majesty, you can tell them clearly."
"So, this is a matter for our people, Zhao people, and the country of Zhao. What does it have to do with the king?"
"..."
Unfriendly voices were sparse among the Zhao ministers, but they resounded incessantly.
The State of Zhao does not take the throne very seriously. It has always been whoever is stronger will get the throne. This is also a side effect of Hu Feng. Hu people are like this, so Zhang Er encounters little resistance when he becomes King of Zhao.
But in the past, the person who was the king of Zhao was always from the royal family with the surname Zhao. Suddenly he was replaced by a member of the Wei family. It would be unrealistic to say that Zhao Chen did not feel a little uncomfortable.
Forget it in normal times, when the front lines of the four Qin generals are advancing rapidly and Zhao is in danger, Zhang Er is upset, and they are even more upset. When they praise you, they flatter you and call you the king, but when they don't praise you, they want to send you to the grave.
Zhang Er became even more angry, but also a little more sober.
Looking at the current heroes, except for Zhang Chu, they are all descendants of the royal family who have become kings again.
In the state of Qi, Tian Dan held all the power, and the word "righteousness" came first.
In the State of Chu, Xiang Liang held all the power, and his ministers controlled the king.
Power is very concentrated in both countries.
Even in the case of peasant uprisings, the same was true for Zhang Chu, who started from a young age. Chen Sheng had the final say alone.
Only the State of Zhao is different. Zhang Er, the King of Zhao, does not have the final say. Zhao State does not have a single minister who has the final say. The power of the State of Zhao is too scattered.
Zhao State was the most severely beaten country among the Six Kingdoms. A shocking battle at Changping left Zhao State with only one breath left.
After finally regaining his composure, he was almost dead, but ten years ago he was beaten to the point of annihilation by Wang Jian and was completely wiped out.
Last year, the First Emperor's horse trampled on the ruins, trampling even the sparks on the ashes to death.
If Zhang Er came with a large army to such a Zhao country, he would be able to unify it in the name of resisting Qin, but he did not have a large army when he came.
At that time, King Bao of Wei followed Chen Ping's poisonous plan and wanted to get the Zhao royal family to return to the country to block the attack. He would suffer the first wave of damage in one go and then take over the Zhao Kingdom while reaping the benefits. How could he send troops to Zhang Er?
Zhang Er, the king of Zhao, is said to be a king, but in fact he is more like a leader promoted by the alliance. He has power, but he also relies on the local Zhao nobles below.
When the relationship between king and minister was tense, Wukong stepped forward.
"Your Majesty! I am willing to lead the army to defend against the enemy!"
"no!"
Before the joy in the eyes of the ministers showed, Zhao Wang Zhang Er sternly refused.
Plop~
Wukong knelt down and asked for orders.
The Zhao ministers in the palace began to have joy in their eyes. They explained the suitability of Wukong's expedition from various angles, and most of the ministers in the palace agreed.
They don't want to go against the Qin generals, nor do they want to wait in Handan for Li Mu and Li Xin to come to their door. It would be great if someone is willing to go.
"I said, no!"
Zhang Er walked away with a puff of his sleeves, leaving behind a group of Zhao Chen who looked unhappy and had their own thoughts.
The court meeting broke up unhappy, and before Wukong left the palace, those Zhao ministers just came up and complimented him.
"A hero is born young, and Li Mugang was as old as a general when he went to war."
"The safety of the Zhao country depends entirely on Master Wu!"
"I will definitely report to the king and plead for Lord Wu's life!"
"..."
King Zhao's personal eunuch separated the crowd and took away Wukong, who had never been so glorious.
Cang Ying Hall, the palace where Zhao Wang Zhang Er reviewed memorials.
When Wukong stepped inside, Zhang Er had just arrived, but his buttocks were still hot from sitting, and the Wang Hu uniform, which was seven parts red and three parts green, was thrown aside like garbage.
"What are you trying to do! Li Mu, Lian Po, Li Xin, Meng Tian, tell me which one can you beat? You..."
Not long after he sat down, King Zhao jumped up, pointed at Wukong's nose, and scolded him all over his face, spraying saliva all over his face.
"Calm down, calm down."
Wukong smiled apologetically and helped Zhang Er sit down. Zhang Er was panting and angry.
"I tell you! Anyone can go, but you can't go!"
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, take your time."
"You still criticize me"
Zhang Er was halfway through speaking, and when he met Wukong's warm eyes, the decibel level slowly dropped and then disappeared.
After Zhang Er took a deep breath and his face no longer looked like that angry look that wanted to choose someone to devour, Wukong said:
"I am the king that you brought back from the Kingdom of Wei. If I don't go, who else can go? The king has to convince the public."
Zhang Er's anger reappeared, and he slapped Dan Chi one after another, roaring to the sky.
"You will die if you go!"
The four are all famous generals who have fought for many years, and Wukong has never been on the battlefield.
"Whoever goes there doesn't want to die!"
Wukong's voice suddenly rose, and at that moment his momentum actually surpassed Zhang Er's.
Zhang Er was speechless for a moment, then became furious and slapped Wukong over, his index finger pointing at Wukong trembling.
"Anyone can go! But you can't! You..."
Another scolding.
Everyone retreated outside. The eunuchs and maids waiting in the corridor were trembling while listening to King Zhao's scolding, but they were glad that they were not left to escape.
In the past two or three days, four eunuchs and three maids have been executed by King Zhao.
In the palace, Wukong lay on the ground for a long time and did not get up, maintaining the posture of being slapped down.
Zhang Er, who had been scolding for a long time, suddenly stopped speaking, squatted down, and pulled Wukong's arm with a sullen face, trying to pull Wukong up.
The arm was pulled up, and at the same time there was a smiling face with half of the face slightly red and swollen. The smile was so bright that King Zhao didn't even notice that the hand that was pulled up was holding a letter.
"You still laugh! You"
"Liu Bang replied."
Wukong said proudly:
"I have a perfect chance of winning this battle."
Zhang Er's eyes sparkled, he grabbed the letter and couldn't wait to read it.
Liu Bang, a name that is both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, is a secret card left by Lord Xinling. It is not a trump card, but it can still be regarded as an important word.
But since this name appeared in the Qin State, Zhang Er sent countless letters to him, but they all fell into the sea without any response.
The letter is indeed Liu Bang's handwriting, and Zhang Er recognizes it.
There are not many words, but Zhang Er read it over and over again.
"Li Mu and Lian Po have their hearts set on the State of Zhao and will defect at the critical moment. Is this true or false?"
Zhang Er murmured to himself, sometimes happy and sometimes sad.
If this is true, then there is no need to worry at all. The four famous generals also have their own ups and downs, and they all have mental calculations but not care.
Zhao Guo joined forces with Li Mu and Lian Po.
Meng Tian and Li Xin are no match for them in a head-on battle, let alone a sneak attack. Maybe they can keep these two famous Qin generals on Zhao soil this time!
"Liu Ji, Liu Bang, can you be trusted?"
Zhang Er was caught in a dilemma. Whenever this happened, he would think of his long-time friend Chen Yu.
Unfortunately, Chen Yu left Zhao State last month and is missing.
The Wei State was attacked by Qin and asked for help from the nearest Zhao State. At that time, Zhang Er had unified the Zhao State, united with the old Zhao aristocratic forces and Zhao people, and defeated the Qin army stationed in Zhao.
Chen Yu said that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold. You and I are both from Wei, and we should lead a large army into Wei to fight against the Qin army.
But Wukong revealed Chen Ping's evil plan.
The first wave of Qin's offensive was fierce and unstoppable. At first, Wei wanted Zhao to die. Now that Zhao is Zhang Er, why not plot the opposite and ask Wei to die to stop it? Then Zhao reaps the benefits.
