Chapter 10 The Yan Army Attacks Zhao
Zhao Jia left the palace.
Although he was very sorry that King Zhao failed to enable Li Mu again, he had already tried his best.
At least Zhao Jia's words also made King Zhao affirm Li Mu's achievements, at least he would not completely refrigerate him.
What's more, Zhao Jia vaguely remembers that in history, Li Mu was indeed dismissed from his post due to years of avoiding war.
After the change of generals of the Zhao king, the Zhao army in the northern border fought against the Huns for years, not only consuming countless money and food, but also suffering heavy casualties.
The most important thing is that the newly replaced generals can't help the Huns.
As a result, the military and civilians in the northern border have complained.
It was not until this time that the military and civilians in the northern border and the King of Zhao remembered Li Mu's previous achievements.
As he had no choice but to put down his figure and asked Li Mu to go to the northern border many times. Li Mu then agreed.
"With my current status, it is difficult to change the trend of history."
"Only by following the trend and earning military merits and fame from it, you can get what you want after you accumulate enough."
Zhao Jia thought to himself.
The next day, the envoy of Yan State left Handan and obviously had no face to stay in Zhao State.
The envoy of Yan State left, and Zhao Jia returned to his previous state, either practicing martial arts or studying military books hard every day.
In addition, he would often visit Li Mu and Lian Po to talk to the two about the art of war and the current situation.
only.
Lian Po has been very busy recently. After Zhao Jia visited him a few times, he has not disturbed him again.
besides.
In the originally deserted small courtyard, there have been a constant stream of people visiting them recently.
Obviously.
Yang Wei, the Zhao Jia school, defeated the generals of Yan State and won glory for Zhao State, and accumulated a lot of fame for him.
With the identity of Zhao Jia and King Changsun, naturally many people have the intention of making friends.
On the contrary, Zhao Qian's family has been missing recently.
Not only because of Zhao Jia's rise, but also because of Zhao Qian's slapped in the face in the face that day, it has spread in Handan.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Jia is the eldest son, and Zhao Qian is simply incomparable in his identity.
In terms of abilities and means, the two are even more different.
Even though Zhao Qian was favored, he still couldn't compare with Zhao Jia.
Even if Zhao Yan inherited the throne in the future and established a crown prince, he would consider the suggestions of his ministers and royal family and dare not act too arbitrary.
Zhao Jia was very decent in dealing with other people's visits.
After a few days, Zhao Jia met many friends, which made Yu Zhu smile like a flower every day.
She waited for this day, not sure how long she had been waiting.
Now that his son is famous and the scene of the nobles coming from Handan has made Yu Zhu see the hope of the rise of his son.
Her heart naturally felt very sweet.
Yan State, the main hall of the royal palace.
The Prime Minister of Yan State, Li Fu, finally returned to Yan State with his mission.
"Prime Minister, you're back!"
When the King of Yan saw the chestnut, he hurriedly descended to the steps to greet him, held his arm and said kindly.
When Cheng'an Jun was in charge of killing the King of Yan and replaced it. It was at the suggestion of Li Fu that he had firmly settled the throne.
It was also from then on that time that the chestnut belly was more precious than the Yan.
Later, Li Fu was impolite to Hu to spy on military information. After returning, he even asked to fight against Hu, defeated Hu people, and expanded the land for thousands of miles.
Such a peerless figure is the pillar of Yan State. How could the King of Yan not be close to him?
After the greetings, the King of Yan asked impatiently: "What is the national condition of Zhao State? Can you attack?"
Li Fu didn't speak, but the other envoys replied: "Although Zhao State was defeated in Changping, the people of Zhao were good at fighting. The elderly and weak, and the young and young children had the intention to fight, and they could not be defeated."
Li Fu's face turned a little gloomy when he heard this.
Although he was a prime minister, he was not a Yan person after all. He was somewhat excluded and restrained, even the envoys who were sent to Zhao were not completely following his leader.
After seeing Zhao Jia and the Zhao people's style at the school, many envoys believed that Zhao State should not be attacked.
When the King of Yan heard this, his face darkened slightly.
Because Qin's strategy of fighting far and near with a nearby attack, he often encouraged Yan to attack Zhao, which led to Yan and Zhao's misfortune for a long time.
The two countries had fought before, and Yan had never had much advantage, which made the King of Yan breathe in his heart.
It was not until the Zhao State was defeated by Changping that the King of Yan was ready to move.
Now the King of Yan defeated the Hu people and expanded the land thousands of miles away, which not only solved the worries, but also made the army strong.
At this time, the Yan State was able to dispatch 600,000 troops and launch a national war.
Even if there was no defeat in the State of Zhao, Yan, it would not be impossible to fight against it, let alone the State of Zhao today.
Not only the King of Yan, but also the whole country of Yan was a little inflated at this time.
Especially a few years ago, Yan State took advantage of the great defeat of Zhao Changping and lured Fu Bao, Wang Rong and Su Xi, the Wuyuan magistrates in the northern part of Zhao, to lead the crowd to join Yan State, which made the Yan people think that Zhao State had exhausted their energy, and many Yan generals hoped to attack Zhao.
Therefore, when they heard an envoy saying "not to be attacked", they immediately felt a little unhappy.
The King of Yan was even more unhappy and set his sight on Li Fu.
Li's belly took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I think the State of Zhao can be attacked!"
The King of Yan and many generals of Yan were all lit up when they heard this.
The King of Yan asked anxiously: "Tell me."
Li Bai looked around everyone and said loudly: "I saw that Zhao people were old and weak in Handan City, mostly women, and very few young and strong people."
"The Zhao people who are strong all died in Changping, and their lonely people are not strong."
"Now that our Great Yan attacked Zhao, we can mobilize more than 600,000 troops. In contrast, Zhao State was defeated by Changping, and all the young and strong people were killed or injured, and less than 200,000 people could fight."
"Our Yan army is almost five times that of Zhao, how can we not attack?"
When the King of Yan heard this, he was overjoyed and asked to the generals: "What do you think?"
The vast majority of Yan generals were ready to fight, believing that Zhao State could be defeated.
Only during the music stroll forward, he said in a deep voice: "Zhao is a country with four battles. The people of the people are good at fighting, so they should not attack lightly."
Lejian is the son of Le Yi, a famous general of Yan State.
Le Yi commanded the army of five countries and led 72 cities in Qi, almost destroying Qi.
I have been influenced by the music since childhood and have also known the military and good at fighting.
When the King of Yan heard this, he was displeased and said, "I will attack one with five, how can I not attack it?"
Lejian said without any concession: "The soldiers are in the spirit but not in the many, and the envoy also said that the old and weak Zhao people, as well as the young and young children, have the intention to fight."
"In the Battle of Handan, the women and children of Zhao State all climbed the wall to guard the city, and the strong Qin Dynasty did not do anything. This is a lesson from the past, and we must investigate it."
"How can the people of this country easily speak out?"
The King of Yan was furious and ordered Lejian to retreat. The other generals also sneered, thinking that Lejian was timid and afraid of war.
When I saw this, I was also unhappy and left with my sleeves.
The King of Yan did not stop him and continued to discuss the attack on Zhao.
The Yan State had planned to attack Zhao for a long time, including food, supplies, and various armies, which had already been assembled.
Just when Li Fu goes to Zhao State to find out the truth, Yan State can quickly launch a war.
In the fourth year of King Xi of Yan (251 BC), King Yan recruited and mobilized two armies, two thousand chariots, totaling 600,000 troops. One by Li Fu led the attack on Zhengyi, and the other by Qing Qin led the attack on Daiyi.
Yan used the strength of the whole country to attack Zhao in two directions, which shocked the world.
Note 1: (Lifu) When traveling to Yan, Cheng'an, he met with Cheng'an, and recommended himself to Cheng'an, and said, "Now the king killed Yan and his clan, the king was in danger of being buried in the world. The king listened to his ministers' plans and died, but did not listen to his ministers' plans." Cheng'an, following his words, established King Wucheng, and became noble in Yan (the specific source was not found).
