Chapter 118 The King of Zhao called the elephant, and the father sent troops

Handan is located next to Zhangshui.

The Zhang River is very important to Handan.

In the famous "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" battle sixty years ago, Handan City was captured by Wei general Pang Juan.

Although Tian Ji, the general of Qi, later defeated Pang Juan in the Battle of Guiling with Sun Bin, Handan City did not return to Zhao's hands because of this.

In order to get back Handan, Zhao He's great-grandfather Zhao Chenghou had to meet King Hui of Wei next to Zhangshui and signed a very humiliating treaty.

In order to prevent the Wei army from heading north again, Zhao State built a Great Wall on the north bank of the Zhang River, which was the Great Wall in the south of Zhao State.

Many future generations often think that the Great Wall was built for the nomadic peoples in the north, which is actually a very serious misunderstanding.

The Great Wall of Qin, the Great Wall of Yan, and the Great Wall of Zhao, are indeed guarding against nomadic peoples.

But the Great Wall in the South of Zhao State, the Great Wall in the South of Qi State, the Great Wall in the West, and the Fangcheng in the State of Chu State, these are purely for the sake of hegemony.

However, nomadic peoples have always been troubled, so the Great Wall in the north has been built and reinforced. These Great Walls located in the Central Plains were abandoned after their unification and then disappeared into the long river of history.

"In essence, things like the Great Wall should not be understood as pure defense. Because you should know that the transmission of beacon towers is not only used for warnings, but also for offensive signals!

We should build the Great Wall on the Zhang River, and we should not just think about defense. What is there in a country like Wei? We should use this as a stronghold, fight through the Zhang River, destroy Daliang City, and make the Central Plains south of the Yellow River all owned by Dazhao!"

Zhao He kept waving his arms while talking, looking full of momentum.

Beside Zhao He, Xiaopingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng nodded repeatedly, and the admiration in his eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

For my younger brother, my older brother should be so upright!

While taking Zhao Sheng down the beacon tower along the long steps, Zhao He smiled at Zhao Sheng and said, "Brother Zhong, if you become the prime minister of Zhao in the future, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Sheng obviously had an answer long ago, and said without hesitation: "Brother Wang, after Sheng, he will be the second Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan!"

Zhao He was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Zonghengjia?"

Zhao Sheng looked firm: "That's right! He was angry and the princes were afraid. He lived in peace and the world was extinguished. This is a real man!"

Zhao He laughed silently and touched his younger brother's head: "No, Brother Wang doesn't want you to do this."

Zhao Sheng was obviously stunned: "Brother Wang, why is this?"

Zhao He looked at his younger brother in front of him and said seriously: "Although the way of straits seems to be majestic, it is actually walking a tightrope, using his mouth to rely on the power of others. For example, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan and others, if they leave the trust of the king, they will be nothing.

If you are the prime minister of the Great Zhao in the future, you should think about how to strengthen the army and the country, and how to make the Zhao country stronger. As the saying goes, you must be strong by yourself! If the Great Zhao is the overlord of the world, then I only need an edict, and the princes of the world will follow the natural circumstances. Why should you show off your verbal advantage and act as a temptation like Zhang Yi?

What is a hegemon? Hegemon is a strong person! If the strong thinks about deceiving the weak and practicing tricks in his heart, he may be able to be happy for a while, but it is definitely not a long-term way! This is why Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan and others are not used by the princes and cannot be rich and prosperous.

A skill is a small way, but it should not be regarded as a criterion and use it blindly. A true overlord should use the method of the subjects to be convinced by the subjects, the upright and invincible army, sweep the princes of the world, and return to China and surrender to the world! You must remember this!"

Zhao Sheng seemed to understand but not, but he nodded seriously and tried hard to keep Zhao He's words in his heart.

Behind him, Fei Yi couldn't help but exclaim: "The king's words are really the dragon-slaying technique!"

Xinqi was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

In front of several people, a ship was floating on the Zhang River. On the ship, an elephant was rolling up her nose with some anxiety and making a scream on the shore.

With a thud, a figure emerged from the water, and he cut several times on the boat's draft, marking it.

Zhao He ordered: "Dang!"

The ship slowly landed, and the elephant stepped quickly from the ship to the ground, making a cry of joy.

Zhao He smiled and said, "The next thing is very simple. We just need to move the stones to the ship, make the waterline of the ship equal to the one that was just marked. Then weigh the weight of the stones and you can get the weight of the elephant. Brother Sheng, do you understand?"

Zhao Sheng opened his mouth wide, was stunned for a while before nodding, and suddenly jumped up suddenly.

"Brother Wang, it turns out that it's okay!"

Behind Zhao Sheng, Xinqi was also stunned.

Suddenly, someone touched Xinqi's arm. Xinqi turned around and saw Fei Yi with a smile on his face.

"Give money."

Xinqi sighed, took out a small bag from his sleeve and handed it to Fei Yi.

Fei Yi laughed and sighed with satisfaction: "It's a pity that if the Lord Father heard the king's words here, he would probably be happier."

The Lord’s Father is not in Handan.

The Lord's Father is currently riding a horse in the prairie.

Behind the Lord Father were 25,000 Zhao cavalrymen.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, the earth was shaking, and countless messes were rushing on the grassland, and countless birds and beasts were frightened by the army and fled everywhere.

Suddenly, in front of the army, another cavalry unit appeared.

The distance between the two cavalry units quickly narrowed, and then slowed down at the same time.

The sound of horse hooves gradually disappeared, but the smoke and dust were still floating.

The Lord's father stood on his horse, and a red flag fluttered behind him.

Opposite, several riders rushed to the scene.

From the face, we can see that these people are all Hu people!

From the clothes and the horse under your crotch, it can be seen that these Hu people are definitely the nobles among Hu people!

Several Hu people dismounted fifty steps away from the Lord's Father and walked to the Lord's Father.

The person in the head was a middle-aged man in his forties. His hair was a little messy, his eyes were shining with shiny light, and he was full of energy. He saluted respectfully to his father.

"Lin Hu, Wang Bolu, see the Lord Father!"

The Lord's father looked at King Lin Hu in front of him and smiled: "King King Lin Hu doesn't have to be too polite."

King Lin Hu stood up and said respectfully: "I wonder what instructions did the Lord's father have for this tour of Henan?"

The master's father smiled and said, "Bolumai, the widow's father is about to go to Yiqu. Your Linhu army sent 10,000 troops as the widow's commander. Is there any problem?"

King Lin Hu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said, "But the messenger who came to Handan before said..."

The master's father laughed and interrupted King Lin Hu's words: "The widowed father conquers the world and never wait! Get on the horse and set off with me!"

On the grassland, tens of thousands of cavalrymen were like torrents, heading south all the way.
