Chapter Four Hundred Rumors
King Yan really had no way to deal with Geng Bingwen. If this continues, it would definitely not be a good thing. The thing he was most worried about was that Zhu Yunwen would increase his troops. If that was really the case, it would be a big problem.
"Who can you take down this Zhengding City?"
After shouting for a long time, no one responded. He was disappointed and had to admire Geng Bingwen, a veteran general. It would be great if he was his own general. After all, there are very few people like him who are invincible to thousands of men.
Yao Guangxiao sighed and said, "Your Highness, King Yan, Geng Bingwen, this foolish and loyal guy, will never surrender..."
"The military advisor means..."
"This person must not be kept..."
King Yan smiled and said, "Is there a way for the military advisor to say this?"
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "Your Highness of the King of Yan, this method is actually to imitate the predecessors..."
"Follow the predecessors?"
This is the most famous Battle of Changping in history. This battle completely changed the pattern of the Warring States Period and even established the position of the overlord of Qin. Of course, this loser, Zhao State, lost the capital to compete for hegemony with Qin, and later destruction. It was not wrong for King Zhao to choose the veteran Lian Po at the beginning. After all, Lian Po was very good at offensive and defensive wars. He used the favorable terrain to build high walls and ordered soldiers to stick to the camp and not go out to fight. This was completely a way to fight the Qin army's sharp edge in a way that was easy to work.
He was angry, of course he had the chance to fight back. After the Qin army could not capture for a long time, they actually used a plan to disagree. Back then, they even talked about the Qin army's fear of General Zhao Kuo's lies. King Zhao originally regarded Lian Po's avoidance of war as a timid behavior. He sent many times to urge him to go to war, but in the end he believed the rumor. This was the beginning of the Battle of Changping. After Zhao Kuo replaced the veteran Lian Po, he not only failed to win the war, but in the end he not only lost his life, but also buried the 400,000 Zhao troops together.
Yao Guangxiao actually implemented counter-espionage schemes like Qin. Of course, Geng Bingwen is like Lian Po back then, but it is hard to say whether Zhu Yunwen would be fooled like King Zhao.
King Yan thought for a while and said, "Zhu Yunwen is not a foolish King Zhao after all, and he will be fooled so easily. Besides, even if Zhu Yunwen is deceived, will he send someone like Zhao Kuo to replace Geng Bingwen?"
"Your Highness King Yan, what do you think of Li Jinglong?"
"Li Jinglong, this guy still has a little ink in his belly. Unfortunately, this person is so happy that he is not a general."
"Your Highness of the King of Yan, if the empress has a way to let Li Jinglong take over Geng Bingwen."
Yao Guangxiao's method was to desperately promote Geng Bingwen's failure. Of course, the results of the battle were impeccable. After all, Geng Bingwen really lost and lost more than 100,000 people.
"Military advisor, this method can indeed remove Geng Bingwen's position, but it would be unrealistic to ask Zhu Yunwen to replace Li Jinglong..."
"Your Highness King Yan, if we let Li Jinglong defeat us now."
"The military advisor means..."
"We just need to take the initiative to attack the city where Li Jinglong is located, and finally pretend to defeat him and escape..."
"The military advisor's move is very good!"
As expected, King Yan followed Yao Guangxiao's advice and spread unfavorable news about Geng Bingwen everywhere. Perhaps it was the old saying that good things did not go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. These rumors were almost the same as military information and things spread to the capital. Of course, it was also caused by Geng Bingwen's delay in the war.
