Chapter 621: Zhao Mu's Conception
If the country in the Central Plains is the most dazzling this year, there is no doubt that it is Zhao State. Jing Rufeng, Hedong County, fought with Wang Xiao, and wiped out tens of thousands of elite Qin State, which made Hangu Pass once again in an emergency, forcing Li Xin to give up his plan to continue attacking Wei State, withdraw his troops and return to the country, assist Hangu Pass, and delayed the Qin State's plan to conquer the world. This battle also excited the whole country of Zhao State, and the most proud of it was Zhao Wuji, the King of Zhao Rufeng. In this battle, Jing Rufeng almost eliminated the impact of Zilan's capture of Shannan County. After all, Shannan County is located in a remote place and the generals also borrowed Wuming. Jing Rufeng defeated the famous Wang Xiao.
This year, Zhao State was very proud. The two defeats of Qin State had to restrain his troops and send people to Zhao State for peace. This also allowed Zhao Wuji to turn his gaze back to the country. Of course, his gaze turned to Zilan.
After a year, Dai County has flourished a little more. Although Zilan sent his eldest son to Jicheng, he did not stop expanding his army. Dai County soldiers reached 50,000 this year. Although in name, they were to guard against the Qin army's attack on Shannan County, how could Zhao Wuji feel assured that Zilan would have such a powerful army, especially when the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Zhao Qi's control investigated the information that came back, which made Zhao Wuji restless.
The Daijun army did have a deep collusion with Gao Yuan, the general of the Eastern Expedition of Yan State. Like the arm-stop of the Eastern Expedition of the Eastern Expedition, the Daijun army had at least a thousand soldiers. What's more worrying is that using the cooperative relationship with Gao Yuan, Zilan even obtained thousands of war horses. Today, Daijun has five thousand cavalry.
Dai County's strength has made Zhao Wuji feel restless. How to solve this threat is a problem that Zhao Wuji thought about day and night.
However, no one expected that at this pass, Zhao Mu, the Grand Marshal of Zhao State, was not in Handan, but quietly arrived at the Yanzhao border, the whole city.
Although it was late at night, Zhao Mu was still buried in the information sent back by a large number of tiger and leopard cavalry. Although it was sorted out by the tiger and leopard cavalry, Zhao Mu still felt that something was missing. He has been in the city for nearly a month, and his purpose was to bring Yuyang County into the arms of Zhao.
The battle between Qin and Zhao was shocked not only by Qin and Zhao. It also made Jiang Xinliang very shocked. He once again saw the powerful strength of Zhao, the second largest country in the world. For Jiang Xinliang, the force was thick and he hugged the thighs of that force. This was what he believed to be the way to survive. With the power of Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, he overthrew his own son and controlled the real power of Yuyang. It did not mean that he thought that Tan Feng and Zhou Yu's plan did not know. Yan State Under the promotion of these two people and the king, the court was gradually implementing the county system implemented by Qin. In two years, except for his Yuyang County and Liaoxi and Hejian under Gao Yuan's control, they had all taken down. Gao Yuan was strong in his hands and was now fighting with Donghu. The court still hoped that Gao Yuan could defeat Donghu and both sides, so he eliminated two great enemies in one fell swoop. So he would not touch him for the time being, but he was different.
The transaction with Gao Yuan is only part of Jiang Xinliang's plan. The weapons of the Eastern Army were sharp and the resources of war horses were rich. The exchange of these things with the iron ore of Yuyang County was beneficial to Jiang Xinliang without any harm. Improving the combat effectiveness of his own army was a problem that Jiang Xinliang was very urgent to solve.
No matter how hard Jing Rufeng can fight, there is something that cannot be changed. He is also a Qin man, so he can only restrain himself and cannot replace him. Zhao Mu is now looking at everything in the position of Taiwei. He is planning the overall situation and seeking the great cause of Zhao's domination. Therefore, he really doesn't care about King Zhao's small actions.
"Changshou, come and take a look at these information?" Zhao Mu raised his head, rubbed his temples, and looked at Zhou Changshou who had just walked into the house. Zhou Changshou was originally a powerful general in the Hedong camp, and he was Zhao Mu's confidant general with Wu Zeng. After Jing Rufeng entered the Hedong camp, Zhao Mu left Wu Zeng. After all, Wu Zeng had been in the Hedong camp for many years and was familiar with the military affairs there, so he could help Jing Rufeng. Transferring Zhou Changshou was also a statement from Zhao Mu to Jing Rufeng. He would not be willing to give him a favor, otherwise Wu Zeng and Zhou Changshou could easily overthrow Jing Rufeng.
Jing Rufeng was not a stupid person, and he also understood Zhao Mu's kindness. After taking office, he not only did not reduce Wu Zeng's military power, but instead vigorously promoted Zhao Feng, the son of Zhao Mu who was still in the Hedong Camp. It was precisely because of this that the Hedong Camp was united and defeated Wang Xiao in this battle that changed the overall situation of the world. However, after this battle, Jing Rufeng also began to rectify the Hedong Camp. It seems that Wu Zeng had only a few days to stay in the Hedong Camp. Zhao Mu had decided that after the Yuyang County incident, he would transfer Wu Zeng to the Yanwei border to command the army, so as to reinforce the Wei State at any time and prevent the Qin army from making a comeback.
The war against Yan State was naturally presided over by Zhou Changshou. It took two years to a maximum of five years to manage Yan State. This was the time schedule set by Zhao Mu for himself.
Zhou Changshou pulled a chair and sat next to Zhao Mu. He was Zhao Mu's old general. When he was alone, he did not have so much etiquette. After taking a few pieces of information from Zhao Mu, Zhou Changshou looked carefully, but found no strange things, all of which were very normal military forces, the mobilization of officials, and the movements of important officials in the court.
"Taiwei, there is nothing special about it?" Zhou Changshou shook his head, a little puzzled.
Zhao Mu frowned, "I didn't pay attention to these at first, but today I suddenly had a whim. The time agreed with Jiang Xinliang was getting closer and closer. Instead, I felt less and less at ease. Then I found out the information from this period and read it again!" He pulled out a piece of paper from the table, which were some people, place names and lines connecting these people and place names. The final direction of these lines is a target, Yuyang.
Zhou Changshou stood up quickly, "The Yan court has noticed the movements of Yuyang County, and Tan Feng is going to attack Jiang Xinliang."
"I think so too, but I haven't figured out how Tan Feng should do it yet? Could it be that Tan Feng has already controlled the army under Jiang Xinliang? If this is true, wouldn't it mean that Tan Feng has already started to plan today's affairs since a long time ago? If I really want to do this, I'm afraid that Tan Feng would have already started to make arrangements when Jiang Dawei was still in charge."
Speaking of this, Zhao Mu and Zhou Changshou looked at each other and saw a look of shock in each other's eyes.
"Changshou, you gather your troops immediately and head towards Yuyang." Zhao Mu shouted.
