Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 214 What Is the Country of Han ([-])

When Qu Yuze was eating, he secretly glanced at Zhao Wuming.Seeing Zhao Wuming's expression of having nothing to do with himself, he already understood his attitude in his heart.So I feel more at ease when I don't have to worry about eating.

Seeing Qu Yuze's appearance like this, Zhao Yu couldn't ask more questions, and Lin Wu couldn't say more.The scene became quiet for a while, and the four of them enjoyed the food and wine.

After a while, Qu Yuze didn't explain too much, and stood up and bowed to Zhao Yu: "The foreign envoy is already full, and I want to go back to the embassy first and invite Zhao Wang Enzhun."

"The noble envoy wants to leave, but it's not good for the widow to force him to stay. If the hospitality is not good, please invite the Han envoy Haihan."Zhao Yu thought about it for a while and didn't force it to stay, and then said a few polite words.

Lin Wu heard that Qu Yuze was going to leave, so he stood up quickly: "Since brother Qu is leaving, I just happened to go back to the embassy together, so I ask Zhao Wang for permission."

"Huang Hao sent the envoy of the Han Dynasty and Mr. Lin Hu to the embassy to rest for the widow."Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and shouted orders outside the hall.

Huang Hao walked in and saluted Zhao Yu.Then he took Qu Yuze and Lin Wu out of the main hall.

Zhao Yu watched the two walk away, turned to Zhao Wuming and asked him, "What do you think of the Han Kingdom, fourth brother?".

"Judging from the letters of credence written by Lin Hu, Lou Fan, and King Lou Fan, this matter is not false. Han should be a country that exists in the north."Zhao Wuming heard the question, and replied to Zhao Yu with the wine bottle in his hand.

Zhao Yu smiled and saw Zhao Wuming's answer. He didn't know whether he didn't ask well or other questions. Then he asked again in detail: "The Han Kingdom should exist. This is something I firmly believe. It's just their strength. How is it?" .

"If the strength is not strong, will the envoys of the Loufan and Linhu tribes change their colors when they see the envoys of the Han Dynasty?".Zhao Wuming blocked Zhao Yu's question and added a sentence at the end: "Compared with Zhao Guo's overall strength, it may be a little bit worse, but the difference should not be too much."

"Fourth brother, why do you look around and talk about him?"Zhao Yu always felt that Zhao Wuming was a little different when he talked about Han, as if he was deliberately pretending to be indifferent.

Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why Zhao Yu asked such a question, so he replied subconsciously: "Isn't the big brother asking about the strength of the Han country? Could it be that the younger brother answered wrong?".

"The widow is curious about the strength of Han, but after all, Han is far away from our country, so why bother to inquire so clearly. What I want to ask is that once Han goes south, Lou Fan will be caught in the flames of war. How long will the trouble spread? How will the third brother of Shishi County react."Zhao Yu no longer hides his problems, but confesses to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming was a little embarrassed. If you care about it, you will be chaotic.Thinking of this, he quickly calmed down and analyzed to Zhao Yu: "No matter how long Han and Lou Fan will fight, it is clear that the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops will not end in a short time. So once Zhao Fan gets the news, he will immediately Raise troops and go south."

"This is what the widows are worried about. What happened to the envoys of the Han Dynasty on the city wall today cannot be concealed. Once the third brother confirms the news that Lou Fan is in the flames of war in Daijun, I am afraid that he will immediately send troops to the south."When Zhao Yu said this, his face was full of sadness.

Zhao Wuming thought for a while, and replied to Zhao Yu: "The most urgent thing is to prepare the army immediately, so as not to be caught off guard when the time comes."

"How come the widow doesn't know this truth, but it's a pity that the widow has too few troops to deal with it calmly."Zhao Yu told Zhao Wuming his worries.

Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Yu, who had a worried look on his face, and asked him: "Once Zhao Fan raises his troops and goes south, where does the elder brother think we should stay?".

"With the [-] Handan defenders and [-] forbidden troops in the hands of the widow, no matter how you defend, you will be defeated. Even if you add the [-] soldiers and horses in the hands of the fourth brother, it will not help."Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly when he heard the question.Maybe only here with Zhao Wuming, he will show such a look.

Zhao Wuming analyzed Zhao Yu's words, and continued to ask him: "In this case, we can only ask for reinforcements."

"The country of Han went south too fast. I thought there was still time, but it seems that there is not enough time. It's a pity that those people from the Gong clan are still unwilling to give me an answer at this time."Zhao Yu could only let out a long sigh when he thought of Lou Fan's imminent war, Zhao Fan's going south without any worries, and the reaction of those princes.

Zhao Wuming thought for a while, thinking of what the Empress Dowager said in the palace that day, and asked Zhao Yu: "Brother, you can order Zhao Zhen to fight, is the public still unmoved?".

"I'm afraid Zhao Zhen will refuse to fight at that time."Zhao Yu immediately shook his head, he was not optimistic about this matter.Even if Zhao Zhen and his third younger brother Zhao Fan had a personal enmity, so what?How can personal enmity compare with the interests of the entire public clan.

Zhao Wuming fell into deep thought again, and looked at Zhao Yu after a long while: "We don't have enough troops, but we can use these troops to buy time, maybe there is a turning point in this matter."

"Turning opportunity? You mean that the third brother may seek direct military assistance from other countries?"A name suddenly flashed in Zhao Yu's mind, Zhongshan Xiangguo Music Pool.But then he seemed to think of something again, and shook his head again: "The third brother has a huge advantage in military strength, so how could he take such a risk and do such a thing?"

"I don't know what the specific turning point is, but I know that some things will only turn around if they are delayed."Zhao Wuming was talking to Zhao Yu, but he had another plan in his heart.With the talents of Han Xin, Zhang Liang and others, lead the army to conquer Loufan, and this battle will definitely be won.If it can be dragged until Lou Fan submits, this crisis will naturally collapse under the vanguard of the Han army.

Zhao Yu nodded slowly. This is indeed an impossible solution: "Since we need to buy time, we can't let the third brother's army surround Handan. Once the widows and the outside news are interrupted, I am afraid that there will be no hope at all." .

"After the onslaught of the soldiers of Anyang, half of the fortifications in Handan are still not perfect at this time, and Handan is really not suitable for being a battlefield."Zhao Wuming agreed with Zhao Yu's analysis.As long as the news of Handan can be conveyed, there is hope of persuading the public.

Zhao Yu recalled the map of Zhao Guo in his mind, and looked at Zhao Wuming after a long while: "Set the battle site on the front line of Xindu, although the battle line will become longer in this way, it is better than sitting in an isolated city. .As for the public, let the widows figure out a way."

"In today's situation, that's really the only way to go."Zhao Wuming thought for a while and nodded slightly, then stood up and bowed to Zhao Yu: "For now, all we can do is to strengthen the training of soldiers to prepare for the upcoming war. Nothing is too much effort, as long as you do your best in everything, you will be fine."

"The only thing I can do is to do my best, and I will not force you to stay with me. I hope that when you have leisure in the future, you can come to the palace to visit the queen more often."Zhao Yu originally wanted to say something, but after much deliberation, he had no choice but to give up, and he would not hesitate to say it later.

Zhao Wuming nodded slightly, then turned and walked outside.
