Facing the queen mother's questioning, even Lin Xiangru, a veteran of the three dynasties, had difficulty coping with it.
The queen mother said again: "Where is Lord Wu Xin?
Isn't he negotiating peace with Qin? It's been a long time, so there should be some results, right? "
Although Lin Xiangru was speechless when he talked about Le Cheng just now, but when it came to Zhao Kuo, Lin Xiangru immediately had something to say.
Lin Xiangru hurriedly said: "Going back to the Empress Dowager, the veteran feels that it may take some time.
After all, Wu Xinjun is known as a hardliner against Qin, he might fight a war first, and then negotiate peace with Qin after winning. "
The Queen Mother frowned, and then became angry: "It's a mess! Who gave Wu Xinjun such confidence?
The old woman wants him to make peace, so he must, immediately, immediately!Send the order down, and then send an envoy to Yinjin City.
If Wu Xinjun has not successfully negotiated peace when the envoy arrives, then scold him severely and let him know who is in charge of this big Zhao! "
Lin Xiangru hastily agreed, but he was very happy in his heart.
Although it is true that Le Cheng is not good at fighting, Wu Xinjun is not good at negotiating peace.
In this way, with Zhao Kuo sharing the anger of the queen mother for Le Cheng, Le Cheng's situation will naturally be much easier.
The queen mother said coldly: "Let's end here for today's court meeting."
All the ministers stood up and saluted, and were about to leave when the eunuch Ling walked in quickly: "Queen Mother, the latest news of Lord Wu Xin!"
This sentence immediately stopped everyone in their tracks.
The Empress Dowager's expression was also strange: "Good news?
Show it to the old woman. "
Lin Xiangru was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It seems that Wu Xinjun still couldn't hold back and chose to take the initiative to attack Qin.
But, Wu Xinjun, Wu Xinjun, if you really attack, even if you win, can you still get away with a charge of disobedience?
Lin Xiangru was looking forward to it, and the Queen Mother next heard Zhao Kuo's furious expression and voice after victory.
The queen mother looked at the good news in her hand, and her face became more and more strange.
After a long while, the queen mother let out a long breath and said, "This is indeed a good news.
The peace negotiation with Qin was over, Wu Xinjun did not attack, everything was done according to the old woman's order. "
Mr. Pingyuan hurriedly asked, "What's the result?"
Everyone is looking forward to the result.
As long as the result comes out, it will be a major blow to Zhao Kuo's prestige!Queen Mother: "" After several seconds, the Queen Mother said: "Qin is willing to cede a city as compensation to Da Zhao."
Mr. Pingyuan: "" Lin Xiangru: "" At this moment, the expressions of the "big three" in Zhao Guo's political arena are extremely complicated.
Although it is only a city, the meaning of it is very clear to all three of them.
It is this city that is tantamount to announcing to the world that "Qin has lost and Zhao has won."
Since Zhao Guodu won, then Zhao Kuo, who led the Zhao army, naturally also won.
Mr. Pingyuan sighed in frustration.
This time, the intention to attack Zhao Kuo's prestige failed again!Lin Xiangru's white beard trembled slightly, he really wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.
There was a strange atmosphere in the hall.
It is obviously a victory, but if an uninformed person stands here and observes the expressions of Zhao's monarchs and ministers, he will definitely think that Zhao has lost this war.
After a while, the queen mother spoke with some difficulty.
"Since we have won, then let Wu Xinjun return to court as soon as possible!"
Chapter 640 Le Cheng's mentality is a bit broken
Outside Yinjin City, the Qin army camp.
Meng Ao and Wang Jian stood together on the carriage, watching the camp where the two had lived for a long time, with complex expressions on their faces.
Wang Jian sighed and said, "I didn't expect such a result."
Meng Ao's white hair grew a few more, and he said calmly: "Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo's ability to use troops is well known in the world, this is already the best result for Daqin."
Wang Jian said very unwillingly: "Could it be that from now on, as long as Lord Wu Xin is leading the army, Da Qin will have to back away?"
This question interrupted the conversation for a long time.
Finally, Meng Ao spoke again.
"General Wang Jian, do you think you have any hope of defeating Zhao Kuo in the future?"
Wang Jian took a deep breath and said with great certainty: "It will definitely work!"
Meng Ao laughed, and patted Wang Jian on the shoulder: "Then, from the bottom of my heart, this old man hopes that you can grow faster, faster!"
On the other side, Zhao Jun also had a conversation in the formation.
Li Mu looked at Qin Jun who was slowly retreating outside the city, with a regretful expression on his face: "Master, do we really abide by the peace agreement like this and let them retreat?"
Zhao Kuo nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, there is actually no way to do this. Who told us to just go all the way?"
Now that the Zhao Kingdom is fighting on two fronts, Le Cheng is undoubtedly the direction that receives the most attention and devotes the most resources.
On Zhao Kuo's side, the queen mother's request has always been just to hold on. Now under the background of the locust plague in Hedong County, Zhao Kuo really does not have the ability to continue to attack Qin.
However, this does not represent Zhao Kuo's failure.
In the past half a year, Zhao Kuo first wiped out the royal court of the Xiongnu in Mobei, and then occupied the royal court of Donghu, bringing both the Xiongnu and Donghu tribes under the rule of Zhao.
Then he moved to the Central Plains, forced back the [-] Qin army without bloodshed, and cut off a city from Qin.
Considering that the Chinese princes had never conquered the grasslands before, it would not be an exaggeration to describe this feat with a sentence that shocks the past and shines today.
Zhao Kuo patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Haven't the Huns and Donghu people been killed enough?
Let your sword rest for a while, there are more enemies waiting for us!Pass the order down, teacher! "
At this moment, Zhao Kuo didn't have any pride or anger or dissatisfaction in his heart, but only curiosity.
"Le Cheng, you should have received a message from Ben Hou, right?"
Wei State, outside Daliang City, Zhao Jun camp.
Le Cheng stood on the watchtower of Zhao Jun's camp, staring at the majestic Daliang City not far away, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Is this damn Wei people so tough?"
The resistance of the Wei people was completely beyond Le Cheng's expectations.
With the help of the people of Chu, the Wei-Chu coalition repelled Le Cheng's small-scale temptations and large-scale attacks again and again, and firmly defended Daliang City and its western and southern territories, allowing Le Cheng to survive for such a long time. There is absolutely no room for progress.
Originally, Le Cheng thought that he could win the battle of destroying the country at his fingertips, but now Le Cheng found that the battlefield was completely evenly matched.
A member of the Le family will quickly step up to the observation deck, hesitating to speak.
Le Cheng said coldly: "Speak up if you have something to say!"
The general of the Le family was helpless, and said in a low voice: "Just got the news that Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo has negotiated peace with the people of Qin."
There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Le Cheng's mouth, but it disappeared in the next moment.
The Le family continued: "The Qin State ceded a city as a condition for peace."
Le Cheng raised his hand, and slapped the famous master directly.
"Next time you talk, remember to finish it all at once, get out!"
The family will scramble and leave.
This news made Le Cheng's mood suddenly bad, and the observation tower didn't want to stay any longer, so he went straight back to the big tent.
There was only one table in the big tent, so Le Cheng kicked the table to the ground without thinking.
"Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo again, or Zhao Kuo!"
Le Cheng's mentality is a bit broken.
It is clear that the most elite main force of Zhao Jun is concentrated under the name of Le Cheng.
Obviously, the empress dowager, Mr. Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru and other leaders in Zhao's political arena have joined forces to suppress Zhao Kuo.
But Zhao Kuo is able to make achievements, that is, he can always stand on the head of Le Cheng and enjoy the glory of victory!Le Cheng suddenly understood his old boss, Lian Po.
It is really difficult to have someone like Zhao Kuo as a political opponent.
After a long time, Le Cheng said to himself: "We must find a way to decide the battle."
Le Cheng didn't want to wait any longer.
He wants to win.
Use victory to respond to Zhao Kuo's provocation, use victory to respond to the expectations of the Queen Mother, Lord Pingyuan, Lin Xiangru and others for him!Le Cheng didn't know that his mentality had been clearly analyzed by the enemy.
In Daliang City, the study of Lord Xinling's Mansion.
The commanders-in-chief of Wei and Chu, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji and Lord Chunshen Huang Xie sat facing each other, with a large battlefield map in the middle.
Lord Xinling pondered for a while, then said to Lord Chunshen, "If nothing unexpected happens, Le Cheng should think of a way to start the decisive battle on his own initiative recently."
Chun Shenjun was a little surprised: "Why?
The city defense of Daliang City is so strong, and Le Cheng is not a fool, so why would he take the initiative to attack the city? "
Lord Xinling chuckled, and said, "I just got the news that Lord Wuxin Zhao Kuo, as the representative of Zhao State, has concluded a peace treaty with Qin State. Qin State ceded a city to Zhao State."
Jun Shen was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face: "A city?
This is really interesting. "
Lord Xinling laughed loudly: "As we all know, this Le Cheng and Lord Wu Xin Zhao Kuo are political enemies.
Now that Lord Wu Xin is in power, Le Cheng must have gone mad with anger.
As long as Le Cheng is unwilling to watch Zhao Kuo continue to gain power, then he will definitely choose to take the initiative and want to respond to Zhao Kuo's victory with victory. "
Chunshen Jun let out an ooh, then laughed and said, "If that's the case, then we just ignore him.
Could it be that he can still fly over the Daliang City Wall? "
Lord Xinling chuckled, and said: "The reasoning is indeed the same, but to tell you the truth, I still have a bold idea."
Chunshen Jun was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened in surprise: "Mr. Xinling doesn't mean that." Mr. Xinling laughed: "Yes.
Now that Le Cheng has already exposed his flaws, why don't I follow the trend and directly give Le Cheng a trick? "
Chun Shenjun obviously hesitated: "But that's Zhao Jun!"
Lord Xinling laughed loudly: "Mr. Chunshen is too worried.
The really scary thing has never been Zhao Jun, but Zhao Guowu Xinjun Zhao Kuo!As long as we can defeat the Zhao army led by Le Cheng here, no matter how powerful Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo is, can he still lead a group of old and weak soldiers to take revenge on us?
Conversely, if I wait for Le Cheng to retreat safely, I will face the elite Zhao Guo led by Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo in the future! "
Lord Chunshen weighed it for a while, then gritted his teeth: "Mr. Xinling, then tell me about your strategy!"
Chapter 641 The Great Battle Outside Daliang City
In the next few days, the mobilization of soldiers and horses on both sides was very frequent, and the friction increased significantly.
Le Cheng kept sending small groups of troops towards the direction controlled by the Wei-Chu coalition forces, on the one hand to investigate the enemy's situation, and on the other hand to lure the enemy.
The Wei-Chu coalition forces did not show any weakness, and would send more troops to fight against the Zhao army every time, with a very clear purpose to prevent any Zhao army scouts from returning safely to the Zhao army's camp.
Finally, Le Cheng felt that the time was right, and summoned all the generals to issue an order.
"Tomorrow is the time for a decisive battle with the Wei and Chu armies!"
Regarding this, Zhao Jun's generals were naturally excited and gearing up.
After holding back for such a long time outside Daliang City, it will be autumn soon, and I finally have the opportunity to show my strengths!That night, a general of the Zhao army suddenly secretly asked to see Le Cheng.
Le Cheng was a little puzzled: "What's the matter with you?"
This Zhao Jun general hurriedly said: "It is such a big Sima, when the last general asked the returning scouts today, he got an unexpected piece of information.
