I’m The King Chapter 200: : If you want to fight, then fight

Zhao Wuji was extremely depressed. Since the ancestor King Wuling of Zhao introduced Hufu riding and shooting, the national strength of the Zhao Kingdom has been booming all the way, and its strength has overwhelmed other countries. At its peak, the entire Zhao Kingdom maintained a standing army of more than 200,000 people. If coupled with the private armaments of the nobles and lords in the country, Zhao Guo can pull out a fighting force of millions of people at any time when needed. Such a huge force once made the countries in the Central Plains and the surrounding Hu people tremble. .Even now, the strength of Zhao State is not as strong as it was back then, but the standing army of more than 100,000 people is the second strongest in the world after Qin State. When will it be the turn of Yan State to bully you? ?

Gently rubbing his forehead, I have to say that Ye Tiannan is indeed a great expert in layout. The strength of Yan State is not good, but he skillfully took advantage of the hostile forces around Zhao State. It is very difficult for Zhao Wuji to attack Zhao Guo.

The Huns are vicious wolves, Qin is a fierce tiger, Qi is just a hungry dog, and Yan is just a nasty mouse, and now the mouse wants to steal food. The Xiongnu and Qin It's a confidant's disease, Yan State is just a disease of mustard ringworm, it's clear at a glance who is less serious, what Ye Tiannan wants to use is Zhao State's mentality, and this is also the biggest reason for him to send troops, Zhao State can't do it for this mere In the land of five cities, fight a big battle with the country of Yan, because in the end, the country of Yan is no doubt defeated, but the country of Zhao is very likely to be taken advantage of by the Huns and Qin. It's all about looting and making a windfall, but Qin is now aggressive, and his intention to unify the country has been fully revealed.

"Even if my country of Zhao is struggling now, it is not something that you, the country of Yan, can afford to provoke." Zhao Wuji walked around in the hall a few times, gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Tiannan, if you want a war, I will War for you.”

"Your Majesty!" The servant walked over on tiptoe cautiously: "Prime Minister, the Taiwei and the others are all outside asking to see you."

"Let them in!" Zhao Wuji clapped his hands. Commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The servant backed out without a sound, but Zhao Wuji found a huge map from the big case, spread it on the gold bricks, and leaned himself into it, carefully Examined.

Zhao Qi, Zhao She, Zi Li, Zi Lan, Zi Zhang and others filed in. Looking at Zao Wou-ki's appearance, everyone looked at each other, but some were worried and some were excited.

Zhao Wuji raised his head and had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, "You needn't say it, this time it's not us who want a war, but the Yan Kingdom wants to impose a war on us, and we have no choice but to fight. Don't fight." , lose face, and will no longer have a foothold among the nations. Fighting, but not necessarily losing."

Zhao Wou-ki sat cross-legged on the map, looked at the crowd, and nodded around his body. "Sit!"

All the people waited to sit down cross-legged. Gong Zilan looked at the map and couldn't hide her worry: "Your Majesty, although the Yan Kingdom is not enough to worry about, Ye Tiannan will definitely use the elite of the Yan Kingdom, but we can't deal with him wholeheartedly. Compared with Ye Tiannan, Qin State is in serious trouble. When there is a war in the west, Qin State in the east will inevitably take advantage of the fire, and the Xiongnu will definitely break in. The only one who can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight is Qi Tiandan, but even so, We can't handle it either!"

"I know." Zhao Wuji nodded heavily, "Even so, this battle has to be fought, Zilan, your territory is in Dai County, facing the Xiongnu directly, this time you may have to make sacrifices."

"Is your majesty planning to withdraw the troops there?" Zilan asked in surprise.

"That's right, where is your standing army, I want to transfer to Hedong."Zhao Wuji nodded, "Qin Li Xin raised troops in a large scale in Hedong, Li Xin is different from the Huns, the Huns want money, What the people of Qin want is land and population.”

"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu's mobilization of troops this time is different. I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the opponent's front by relying entirely on the subordinate soldiers in the territory of the ministers." Zi Lan said embarrassingly.

"Didn't Daijun build the city wall all these years to resist the Xiongnu? The state treasury also invests a lot of money every year. How is it going?" Zhao Wuji asked.

"The construction of the city wall connecting the entire Dai County is such a huge project. Your Majesty, it is only completed in the place where the Huns often invaded. It is not connected at all. It is a sieve. The Huns cavalry come and go like the wind. We It is impossible to predict that they will invade from there." Zilan said helplessly.

"There is no other way, Zilan, Daijun can only concentrate its forces to keep some important cities and strategic points, and give up other places for now!" Zhao Wuji said firmly, "Daijun's standing army, It must be transferred to the east of the river.”

"Your Majesty, Dai Commandery is also the territory of Zhao State!" Zilan almost begged, Dai Commandery is not only the territory of Zhao State, but also his fiefdom.

"After this incident, I will compensate you." Zhao Wuji didn't want to continue this topic anymore, "There was originally 50,000 standing troops in the direction of the river east, and after the transfer of 20,000 standing troops from Daijun, 70,000 troops were assembled , plus the private army of Zhao She in Jinyang County, with a 100,000 army against Li Xin, it should be able to stop his advance. Zhao She, Jinyang is your fief, what will you do as a general?"

Zhao She shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, Li Xin is a famous general in the world, and it is difficult for me to beat him. I recommend General Zhao Mu to take command. I am willing to help General Zhao Mu arrange food and grass."

"Zhao Mu? I want to use him to teach Yan people a lesson!" Zhao Wuji hesitated for a moment.

"Yan Guo Ye Tiannan is just a clown, Zhao Mu is needed there, I invite you to be a general." Zhao Qi said loudly. Lan can't be counted, each of them supports 5,000 men and horses, and if all the ministers are mobilized in the territory, they should be able to recruit 50,000 young men, which is enough to deal with the people of Yan."

"Although the civil strife has just subsided in the country of Yan this time, when Ye Tiannan sent troops, he must be the elite of the country. Can you win the battle?" Zhao Wuji asked.

"I am a great warrior of Zhao, An is comparable to Yan people!" Zhao Qi said proudly: "Although I have not fought for decades, it is easy to deal with Yan."

"I support it. Mr. Zhao Qi is also a veteran of our Zhao country, with rich experience, and with such an arrangement, Mr. Zhao Qi has assembled tens of thousands of soldiers, which is enough to deal with the Yan people. Defeat is enough. Ye Tiannan has just taken over the position. As long as this battle is protracted and turned into a protracted war of attrition, Ye Tiannan's status will be unstable, and domestic opposition to him will inevitably rise. In this way, we can force them to sign a peace treaty. "Zizhang nodded in agreement.

"That's it, so it's decided." Seeing that all the ministers had no objection, Zhao Wuji immediately made a decision, "Zizhang, you are an internal historian, and you are going to go to Chu as an envoy immediately. Qin wants to take advantage of the fire, I think Chu State will not just watch Qin State be so arrogant."

"Yes, my lord, if I go here, I will definitely persuade Chu to send troops, but what do we need to pay?" Zizhang bowed and said, there is no free lunch in the world, and the king of Chu will not fail to see Zhao's current situation. If you don't take the opportunity to make a request, it will be strange.

"Tell the King of Chu that my country of Zhao will bear half of the military expenses for his dispatch of troops this time, and if he gains something, my country of Zhao will not take a cent." Zhao Wuji said.

"I understand."

Your Majesty, the Xiongnu, Qin, and Yan have all taken countermeasures, what about Qi? "Zi Li asked.

"Qi is nothing to worry about, as long as Qin cannot defeat me, and Chu takes the opportunity to send troops to Qin, Tian Dan will definitely retreat." Zhao Wuji sneered, "But if we lose in Hedong, Qi will be defeated." They will send troops to bite us. The key to this battle is in the east of the river. Zhao Mu can block the Qin army, and Zhao Qi can defeat the Yan State. Then we will be able to spare in other places.”

"Your Majesty, why don't you send an envoy to the State of Wei and ask the King of Wei to lend a helping hand? As long as the King of Wei makes a gesture, the State of Qi will be careful and take back their claws." Zizhang suggested .

"That's fine." Zhao Wuji nodded, "Zizhang is going to Chu State, so let's go to Wei State by the way. , don’t be stingy with money.”

"I would like to obey the king's orders."

"My lords, if I win this battle, I will show off my power and national strength. Da Zhao will be safe and stable for decades. If I lose, Da Zhao will be in a precarious situation." In China, you are all the shares of the country, and we share weal and woe with the country. At this time of crisis, you should work together to resist foreign aggression, and you must not be half-hearted. If the great Zhao prospers, you will prosper; , My lords, you should reflect on yourself." Zhao Wuji stood up, his eyes glanced at everyone, all the people present here are all important officials of Zhao Guo, but there are also conflicts of interests between each other, and each has their own ulterior motives. In this critical situation, Zhao Wuji had to hit them hard.

"Wish to prosper and prosper with the country!" All the ministers stood up together and bowed to Zao Wou-Ki loudly.

"Everyone~IndoMTL.com~ let's encourage each other!"Zhao Wou-ki nodded with satisfaction, these people still know the general.

Chun Yuyan packed up her luggage in the post house, only waiting for the officials of Zhao State to expel her, she was prepared in her heart, so she appeared extremely calm, sitting high in the post house, drinking and drinking freely, I have been sent to Zhao Guo many times, but this time it made me feel at ease. I let out a big breath of evil in my chest.

"My lord, Zhao Guoshang's doctor Gong Zilan is visiting!" The waiter came in and bowed to report.

"Zi Lan? I didn't expect that he came to chase me away. It seems that he is going to break up with me?" Chunyuyan laughed and stood up, "Please, please!"

If Chunyuyan still has one friend in Zhao State, then Zilan can hardly be considered one.

"Brother Zilan, I didn't expect you to come here?" Looking at Gong Zilan with a worried face, Chunyuyan laughed and greeted him. "I've already packed my luggage. Your Majesty, how do you want me to reply?" Despicable king?"

The melancholy look on Zi Lan's face remained undiminished, and she looked at Chun Yuyan, "My king has only six words, if you want to fight, then fight!" (To be continued..)
