Chapter 621 Lecheng has a plan to limit Zhao Kuo
The Queen Mother: "..." The Queen Mother's mood was tangled at this moment.
The Queen Mother’s thoughts have been explained before, so there is no need to repeat them here.
As the saying goes, the most important thing in life is integrity, and being a king is even more worthless.
From this perspective, it is obviously the best choice to let Zhao Kuo come back immediately.
But if Zhao Kuo is just letting him come back like this, wouldn’t it mean that the Empress Dowager asked Zhao Kuo to guard the north for a year, and then gained a lot of military achievements and returned to Handan with glory?
What about the promised delivery?
This is not a disposal, it is simply a sign-up! If Zhao Kuo returns with this momentum, Zhao Kuo's power will inevitably rise again, and it will be completely impossible to achieve the goal of taking the opportunity to weaken some Zhao Kuo.
The Queen Mother pondered for a long time and was unable to make a decision.
There was silence in the hall, and many important officials of Zhao State stared at each other, but they didn't know what to say.
Everyone is not stupid. Everyone knows the Queen Mother’s idea, but if you put your previous promise here, it is impossible to directly destroy the promise, right?
They are all shameless! Suddenly, Le Cheng had an idea and came up with a plan.
Le Cheng stood up and said, "Empress Dowager, I have a plan to relieve the Queen Mother's sorrow."
The Queen Mother was a little surprised and looked at Le Cheng and said, "What is the trick of Grand Sima? Come on."
Le Cheng said slowly: "I heard that the Wei State is a little ready to move recently. The prince of Wei State Xinling Jun has always been dissatisfied with the Great Zhao and secretly incited the princes to jointly attack the Great Zhao. He should punish him severely.
Anyway, the Wei Kingdom is now extremely weak, so why not ask the Empress Dowager to give me a soldier and let me destroy the Wei Kingdom directly!”
After Le Cheng's words finished, everyone was stunned.
At first glance, it seems that Le Cheng has no connection with Zhao Kuo, and it is completely incompatible with each other.
But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that I understood again.
What is Zhao Kuo’s problem now?
Of course, it is military achievements! Zhao Kuo's military achievements are too strong, which makes Zhao's king and ministers unable to start no matter how they target them, because they can't find a reasonable reason to bypass Zhao Kuo's military achievements.
But what if Zhao State starts war in another direction at this time?
Just as Le Cheng said, he directly destroyed the Wei Kingdom.
The State of Wei was one of the seven vassal states, and it was even a hegemonic country that swept the world in the early years of the Warring States Period.
Destroying the Wei Kingdom will not only greatly shock other vassal states in the Central Plains, but also directly hedge against Zhao Kuo's newly made military achievements.
Although the conquest of the Huns and Donghu in the north was also very strong, it was definitely not as sensational as destroying a powerful vassal state in the Central Plains.
In this way, wouldn’t Le Cheng’s popularity be more popular than Zhao Kuo?
By that time, we will find another opportunity to attack Zhao Kuo, and we don’t need to worry that Zhao Kuo’s influence in the military is too strong to be able to counterattack.
Thinking of this, the faces of the king and ministers of Zhao began to show joy.
It's amazing.
Pingyuan Jun coughed and said, "Sima, can you definitely win if you send troops to conquer Wei?"
After all, Pingyuan Jun is not an ally of Le Cheng, so he still raised the question he thought was more moderate.
Le Cheng suddenly became a little unhappy and immediately retorted: "Pingyuan Jun's words are unreasonable.
The Wei State had lost most of its land a few years ago, but now it is only a small part of the land outside the land is still alive.
According to the latest information from Da Zhao, Wei State can only organize an army of 50,000 people at most.
I dare to ask Mr. Pingyuan, is Le so far that he can't defeat even 50,000 Wei troops?"
Le Cheng's words were loud and loud, and Pingyuan Jun was speechless for a moment.
Pingyang Jun, who had been silent, also spoke: "Sima, it's better to be more steady.
Although the Wei State was weak, Xinling Jun's ability to lead troops was still famous all over the world.
What's more, other countries may send troops to help?"
Le Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Other countries?
Is it the Qi State that was just crippled by Da Zhao, or the Yan State that was scared by Wu Xinjun to withdraw its troops, or the Han State that surrendered to Da Zhao, and the Chu State, an ally of Da Zhao?"
Pingyang Jun said: "Where is Qin State?"
Le Chengman said indifferently: "Don't we still have an ally of Yiqiu Kingdom?"
You can order Yiqiu Kingdom to send troops to harass Qin Kingdom in advance."
Zhou Shaofen frowned and couldn't help but say, "If Yiqu and Qin directly go to war, it is very likely that Yiqu will be directly destroyed."
Le Cheng snorted and said, "A small country like Yiqiu will be destroyed if it is destroyed. As long as it can provide some value to Da Zhao, what's the harm if it is destroyed?"
Zhou Shaofen wanted to say something, but Lin Xiangru, who was sitting next to him, suddenly coughed heavily. Zhou Shaofen had no choice but to shut up his mouth.
Before he could truly reveal his identity, Zhou Shaofen knew that he had to restrain himself.
Why is Le Cheng targeting Yiqiu Kingdom so much?
Everyone knows the answer, isn’t it because Qu Wei, the public servant of Yiqu Country, is Zhao Kuo’s concubine?
It’s just that this reason is too low-level and cannot be put on the table, so it’s not clear.
After Le Cheng's analysis, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel a little moved and said, "You guys think, what is the proposal of the Grand Sima to start a war against the Wei Kingdom?"
Lin Xiangru said: "I have no objection."
Pingyuan Jun was silent for a while and said, "I have no objection."
Since neither of the two giants has any objections, the other important officials of Zhao naturally do not have any objections.
So the matter was confirmed.
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Since all the ministers have no objection, then recruit troops immediately.
Now it’s only more than four months before winter, are you sure you have time?”
Le Cheng was full of confidence and said, "Please rest assured to the Queen Mother, even in winter, what if it is winter?
With Daliang City and Handan so close, logistics supply is not too big a problem.
I can assure the Empress Dowager that the Wei Kingdom will be destroyed within one year!”
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Very good."
Then let Le Chengda Sima be the main general and send 150,000 troops to attack Wei State, in order to win in one battle and completely destroy Wei State!"
Le Cheng was very happy and stood up and bowed down to receive the order.
The Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment and said, "Send someone to the north to pass on the orders. Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo made great contributions to the country, so that he can return to Handan after stabilizing the situation in the north!"
Since Le Cheng has sent troops, Zhao Kuo can of course come back.
In terms of time, it is estimated that before Zhao Kuo returns to Handan, news of Le Cheng's victory in attacking Wei will come one after another.
The people are forgetful. When the time comes, they will use public opinion to flatter Le Cheng. Who else can remember the achievements of Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo?
