Chapter 1216 Zhao Kuo, who gave away his head when he appeared on the scene, wanted to complain

It is said that it is difficult to be a good person, and Wang Xiao has a deep understanding of this.

Because I am a good person, I can't bear to see the girl suffer. I gritted my teeth and made up my mind to take care of the girl and protect her.

As for all the problems and troubles caused by taking care of and protecting the girl, I can only bear it alone.

No matter how difficult or tired you are, there will be no complaints or regrets.

There is no way, who made Wang Xiao a good person?

That night, Shu'er, a noble girl from Yan State, asked Wang Xiao for help because it was too cold at night.

As a good person, Wang Xiao naturally agreed to help with this.

Not only did he lend his own bed, his bedding, but he even borrowed his warm chest.

Then Wang Xiao pulled Shu'er and said that when it was cold, exercise more, so that if your body sweated, you would not feel cold.

Shu'er was very grateful for this and panting, saying that the owner was really nice to her.

Wang Xiao said, "Can you help me a little bit? Now the pressure is getting bigger and bigger. Can you let me release it?"

Shu'er, who had a pretty face flushed, said that the master could do whatever he wanted.

Then Wang Xiao was released.

In the next few days, Wang Xiao rested in the other hall with peace of mind.

During the day, I occasionally give Xiang Shaolong some advice and discuss with Yuanzong the future of the Mohist school.

After dark, Shu'er was pulled to provide her with warmth and satisfaction, which was used to alleviate her fear and worries about being alone in Handan City from her hometown.

Wang Xiao, who has experienced countless storms, has been very satisfied with this peaceful life.

However, his reputation has spread throughout Handan City, and Lian Jin, who escaped, felt that he was no match for Wang Xiao, so naturally he would have conspiracies and tricks to come to him.

"Mr. Wang Zhuangshi and Mrs. Ya sent someone to send an invitation."

That day, Tao Fang came to Wang Xiao and sent an invitation letter.

"Which Mrs. Ya?"

"The prince's sister, Ma Fujun's wife."

The king is naturally King Zhao, and Ma Fujun refers not to Zhao She who won the battle with Yan and him, but Zhao She's son Zhao Kuo.

That's right, it's Zhao Kuo, who was accused of having no experience and led to Zhao's defeat in the Battle of Changping.

In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Guo’s defeat and accusations were all Zhao Kuo’s fault. It was immoral and irrational.

This is not a separate thing, but the result of a series of events gathering together.

From the beginning of Qin's troops to the end of Wei Wuji defeating the Qin army at Handan City to the end of the victory over Zhao State, the battle of Changping lasted for several years. The Battle of Changping was only the climax of many events.

The cause of the incident was that Qin State habitually beat Hun Han, and Hun Han was also habitually convinced.

The result was that Han snatched the land of Shangdang to Qin, and he used it to get a few years of respite.

Sure enough, those who call South Korea are all beaten with a harsh and cowardly person.

There is no way, whoever lets Han and Wei block the Hangu gate, and the Qin people can see them as soon as they go out, so they naturally beat them up.

Originally, Han was timid in surrendering and cede land, but this incident was basically over. The old Qin people should go back to Guanzhong to repair and wait for the next time to send troops to fight.

But unexpectedly, Feng Ting, the county magistrate of Shangdang County, who was ceded, quit.

Feng Ting drove away the messenger of King Han Huanhui, a waste who could only surrender, and convinced the people of Shangdang County to dedicate the seventeen cities of Shangdang County to the Zhao State beside him.

After a fierce debate, Zhao State finally decided to take on the gift.

Not only because Shangdang County is indeed a piece of fat, but also because Zhao also knew that Qin was its biggest competitor, so he wanted to take this opportunity to fight Qin and completely weaken Qin's strength.

Qin's strategy was to get along with each other from a distance, while Zhao's strategy was to open up the Central Plains.

In the past century, most of Zhao's energy was spent on the Central Plains strategy, and almost all the land west of Qi's Ji River fell into the hands of Zhao.

Qin and Zhao have been continuously expanding their strength for more than a hundred years, and at this moment it is at the level of inevitable decisive battle.

The Battle of Changping did not break out suddenly. Whether Qin or Zhao, they were actually prepared for a decisive battle.

For example, before the war, Zhao had already reconciled the rear of Qi, and formed an alliance with Wei to win over helpers. He also beat Han, who defected to Qin, and cut off the wings of Qin.

The Zhao people are not stupid, there are many capable ministers and powerful generals. Their strategies are very correct.

Unlike South Korea, which was urinated, the people of Zhao were not afraid of Qin and even had a psychological advantage.

Because in the Battle of Yanyu a few years ago, Zhao Kuo's father Zhao She attacked 300,000 Qin troops with 60,000 Zhao troops and was defeated.

The Qin army lost about 100,000 troops, and even the main general Hu Yang died in battle. This was probably the biggest failure of the Qin State in a century.

You should know that after Shang Yang's reform, Qin State had to fight every now and then, and most of them were won.

After so many years of fighting, Qin State has become stronger and stronger.

Zhao is the first to be able to deal with such a heavy blow to Qin at one time.

Of course, the Qin State, which was beaten by Wu Qi before Shang Yang's reforms, did not count.

Qin also regarded Zhao as a major concern here, and after the battle with him, he was determined to take revenge.

They sent troops to attack Shangdang, and then Zhao sent Lian Po to fight against him.

The battlefield was at the beginning of Shangdang, and the Qin general Wang He took a year to take Shangdang. Most of the Shangdang people fled to Zhao State.

After that, Wang Ying began to attack Lian Po, and spent several months defeating Lian Po, driving him and Zhao's army to the east bank of Dan River.

At this time, the strategic confrontation between the two sides continued.

After the successive defeat of Zhao State, King Xiaocheng of Zhao wanted to seek peace. Because Lin Xiangru was dead, no one could persuade the useless King Zhao. As a result, the King of Qin received the envoys of Zhao State at a high standard, making all countries mistakenly believe that Qin and Zhao had reconciled, thus breaking the potential possibility of alliances among various countries.

At this time, the war had been going on for almost two years. Zhao Guoqing gathered on the front line to fight, and the fields were deserted and labor was lacking, resulting in poor food harvests.

Zhao State wanted to buy grain, but various countries were unwilling to sell it to them.

The Qin State had mobilized at this time, and the King of Qin and the ministers and generals had already made up their minds to defeat Zhao State, the most powerful competitor, even if they were at the end of their lives.

Moreover, Qin's national strength is stronger than Zhao's, so when Qin could still endure it, Zhao could no longer hold on.

At that time, in order to be able to deliver food to the front line, Zhao State even cut all the green seedlings that had not yet grown in the fields.

Therefore, Lian Po's strategy of using the deep terrain to fight with the help of deep trenches and thick trenches to force Qin to retreat on its own can no longer be implemented.

If the execution continues, the Zhao people will starve to death.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo later implemented the strategy of taking the initiative to attack, which was forced by reality. It would be impossible not to take the initiative to attack and fight to the decisive battle.

If you continue to wait, you will be waiting for death. If you take the initiative, hundreds of thousands of troops will not be able to fight for a way out.

There is a small episode here. Qin State looked down on Zhao Kuo, who had no battlefield experience, so he passed on fake news in Handan City, indicating that Qin State was afraid that Zhao State would use Zhao Kuo as the main general. Then the stupid King Zhao actually shot Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po.

The person who spreads this news in Handan City is also very interesting. His name is Qin Yiren.

That's right, he was later King Zhuangxiang of Qin, Lu Buwei's "Single Goods" and Zulong's Laozi.

At that time, Qin Yiren was a hostage in Handan City.

Zhao Kuo was not without self-knowledge. When King Zhao talked to him in secret, he said, "If the Qin general on the opposite side was Bai Qi, I might not be his opponent. If it was just Wang Yan, I could defeat him."

From this point of view, Zhao Kuo is also self-aware.

It’s a pity that the old Qin people had already set a trap for him. Bai Qi, who had previously claimed to be recuperating, quietly sneaked into the Qin army camp and took over military power.

After Zhao Kuo arrived at the front line with 200,000 reinforcements drawn from various places and the last huge amount of food, he arrived at the front line to replace Lian Po. With intentional calculations and no intentions, the result was a destiny.

The reason why Zhao State was defeated in the Battle of Changping was not because of its tactics. Zhao State's tactics were not bad, and even caused the Qin army to be killed and injured by hundreds of thousands of people.

The reason why he was defeated in this battle was because of his strategy.

Especially when he took the initiative to negotiate with Qin, he cut off diplomatic aid, which laid the foreshadowing of failure.

The Qin State was determined to kill Zhao State, but Zhao State was swaying between war and harmony.

Strategic success or failure can be seen at a glance.

Both the King of Qin and Bai Qi knew very well that Zhao had no other choice but to take the initiative to launch an attack.

The next step to lure the enemy deeper and then surround and annihilate it is a very normal tactical operation, especially under the terrain of Taihang Mountain.

Therefore, when Zhao Kuo led Zhao troops to fight, unless he was possessed by Wang Xiao, no matter how powerful his ability was, he would have only one end.

Sima Qian said that Zhao's army was killed for 450,000 yuan, which was impossible. This should be the overall loss of Zhao State after two years of death.

After all, Qin State also suffered heavy losses, especially after Zhao Kuo was surrounded, hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops fought to break through the siege many times. In this case, the losses would inevitably be very tragic.

Moreover, among the Zhao army, there are actually some Koreans who are from Shangdang County!

It should be true that the Zhao army lost 450,000 yuan, but it is estimated that only about 300,000 yuan was killed. The others were damaged in previous battles.

After the post-war review, the biggest reason for Zhao's failure was directly pointed at King Zhao.

But he is the king and has no way to punish him, so he can only let him go.

Zhao Kuo is dead, but his wife is still there. As the girl of King Xiaocheng of Zhao, Zhao Ya is also a lateral existence in Handan City.

The reason I looked for Wang Xiao was because Wang Xiao’s fame has spread too quickly in Handan City these days.

Especially the news that Wang Xiao scared Lian Jin away, it made people talk about it with relish.

You should know that before Wang Xiao came to Handan City, Lian Jin was the most beautiful person on this street. His attention was a traffic superstar, or he bought it without spending money.

After sending Wang Xiao to the door of Mrs. Ya's mansion, Tao Fang winked and left.
