Chapter 395 Zhao Wangxiu, the end of the war

Chapter 394: Zhao Wangxuan, the end of the war

After returning to the main tent of the Chinese army, Bai Qi took the main seat, and all the generals of the Qin army sat on the left and right. Bai Qi said to everyone: "Everyone, before coming to the eldest son city, this general has already received a letter from General Meng Zhan." The good news is that General Meng broke through Huai County a few days ago and completely controlled the entire Hanoi County. He will soon send troops to support the eldest son city. By that time, Sima Chong will have to retreat if he does not retreat. This battle will eventually come to an end Already!"

Hearing Bai Qi's words, all the generals of the Qin Army breathed a sigh of relief. The nerves that had been strained for so long can finally be relaxed. In this battle, the Qin Army was too tired to fight, and they have been at a disadvantage for a long time. Especially when the ally Deng Guo defeated Zhao Guo in the Central Plains and saw that the Central Plains was hopeless, Zhao Guo turned most of his energy to fight the Qin Army, and the pressure on the Qin Army was even greater, in order to reverse the situation.Bai Qi and Meng Zhan had no choice but to take the risk and seize Hanoi County, which was not in the plan. Fortunately, Qin Jun won the bet, but they also paid a price of tens of thousands of people, including the death of Da Zhan Li Chong.

At this time of the war, both Zhao Jun and Qin Jun have paid a huge price, and their strength has been affected. At this time, the most important thing is to end the war as soon as possible, but the current situation is that Zhao Guo is still not reconciled. He wants to get back his position, but it's no wonder that two years ago, Zhao Guo was still the peerless overlord of the world, but in just two years, he suffered losses from Deng Guo and Qin Guo one after another, even the small Chu State Dare to blatantly take advantage of it, how can the proud accept it?
All that needs to be done now is to wait, and when one side fails, the battle will naturally end, but the current situation is not very clear.

Ever since Bai Qi came to the eldest son city, General Qin Zhao returned to the state of confrontation a month ago. No one dared to act rashly. He has been waiting and watching, but Bai Qi is not as powerful as Zhao Jun, so he simply hides in the city and waits for the opportunity to appear. A month has passed like this, and at this time, the opportunity appeared.

In the 22nd year of Qianyuan, on the first day of July, a bad news came from Jinyang City. To be precise, it was the bad news of Zhao Guoren. Zhao Wang, who had been in power for [-] years, passed away. The king, a king who had achieved mutual success with Zhao Xin, passed away two years after his best partner Zhao Xin passed away, leaving behind a declining Zhao country.

The death of King Zhao caused all the Zhao troops from all walks of life to stop. All the generals of the Zhao army returned to Beijing to send the king off for the last time. This made Bai Qi finally heave a sigh of relief. After several months of hard work, it was finally over. Qin The country has basically completed its pre-war goals. Although it did not capture Shangjun and Beishangdang, it got Hanoi and Henan counties, which was enough for Qin to further alleviate the domestic food crisis. , the next Zhao Guo will be turbulent, and the next day of sending troops will not be far away!
In the 22nd year of Qianyuan, on the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, Jinyang City was covered with white banners. It has been almost half a month since the death of King Zhao. All the generals of the Zhao army who were on the front line returned to Jinyang City one after another to see the king on his last journey. .

State of Zhao, on Chengqian Palace, the coffin of King Zhao is placed there. A group of Zhao’s clan and ministers of civil and military affairs are below in white clothes. It is midsummer now. It stands to reason that in order to avoid the body from getting stinky, Zhao State should send King Zhao to the coffin as soon as possible. The burial is the only way, but Zhao Guo's ministers insisted on using secret methods to preserve the body of King Zhao, and resolutely decided to stay in Chengqian Hall for seven to seven days.

After Zhang Chuan, Li Rubing, Sima Chong and other famous generals of the Zhao Kingdom returned to Jinyang City, a very important matter has to be put on the agenda, and that is the candidate for the new King Zhao in the future. The prince who was established was Zhang Lin, the eldest son of the king, but in recent years, he has particularly favored the second son, Zhang Xian, Marquis of Yunzhong, so there is still limited suspense about the candidate for the new King Zhao.

After all the ministers bowed three times and nine times to King Zhao's coffin, Mi Fang, Prime Minister of the State of Zhao, stood up, took out an imperial edict from his sleeve, and read it aloud in front of everyone: "Since I was 25 years old, Yu Ji, Now thirty-three years old, I have worked hard all my life and worked hard. Thanks to the support of all civil and military officials, Dazhao has what it is today. My son, except for the three sons who died early, among the three surviving sons, the fourth son Zhang Jiong was too young to be useful, but only the crown prince Zhang Lin, who was the best choice for Wen Tao Wu Lue, should be the king, so after the widow left, The Crown Prince Zhang Lin will take over the throne, and I hope that you will do your best to help Dazhao get out of the predicament!"

After some suspense, the throne of King Zhao still fell to Prince Zhang Lin, which made the ministers who supported Zhang Lin very happy, and the neutral ministers were also very happy, because with King Zhao's will, Zhao Guo can avoid a crisis. There was chaos in the arena, which is tantamount to a blessing in misfortune for Zhao Guo today.

But Zhang Xian, the Marquis of Yunzhong, was not so happy. He was very dissatisfied with Zhang Lin's taking the throne. After all, Zhao Wang was very dissatisfied with Zhang Lin all these years, but loved himself in every possible way. There is no reason why Zhao Wang would choose Zhang Lin Thinking of this, Zhang Xian wanted to question the authenticity of the will, but was stopped by Situ Zhuangping, who looked at Zhuang Ping with a puzzled expression.

I saw Zhuang Ping shook his head at Zhang Xian, signaling him not to be impulsive. Zhuang Ping is Zhang Xian's biggest supporter, so Zhang Xian has never doubted what Zhuang Ping meant. Since Zhuang Ping told him to calm down, there must be a reason for him Yes, so he retreated back, planning to ask Zhuang Ping carefully after returning.

The position has been decided, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty paid homage to the new monarch. Even Zhang Xian, who was unwilling, had to bow his head. Zhang Lin sat on the throne representing the supremacy of the Zhao Kingdom with the support of Mi Fang, and looked down All the ministers of civil and military affairs were also very excited in their hearts. After waiting for so many years, they finally sat on the throne.

At this moment, Zhang Lin has officially ascended the throne. However, since the old Zhao Wang has not yet had a funeral, the real enthronement ceremony cannot be held until after the old Zhao Wang is buried. But now with the support of all civil and military officials, Zhang Lin's throne can be regarded as Sit tight.

After Zhang Lin ascended the throne, the first thing he promulgated was to stop the war and recuperate. For this, all the civil and military ministers were already mentally prepared. Lost the city and lost the land, now that the old King Zhao has passed away, Zhao Guo is in turmoil, and it is meaningless to continue fighting. Fortunately, Deng Qin has no intention of continuing to fight, so under the tacit understanding of the two sides, this A war that lasted for several months finally came to an end!

After leaving Chengqian Palace, Zhang Xian did not return to his mansion immediately, but quietly came to Situ Zhuangping's mansion. Fortunately, everyone's eyes are now focused on the death of Old Zhao Wang and his death. The new King Zhao did not notice Zhang Xian as a loser when he ascended the throne, so no one noticed that Zhang Xian came to Zhuangping's mansion.

"Lord Situ, what did you mean just now? Why did you stop me?" As soon as he saw Zhuang Ping, Zhang Xian couldn't wait to ask Zhuang Ping what it meant to stop him in Chengqian Hall.

Zhuang Ping didn't answer Zhang Xian immediately, but after drinking a glass of water quietly, he said: "If the old man guessed correctly, Lord Hou just now planned to stand up and question the authenticity of the late king's edict!"

Zhang Xian nodded, and said: "Lord Situ is right. I did have this idea just now. After all, my father's edict is too suspicious. Over the years, my father has always expressed his dissatisfaction with the crown prince, and even repeatedly Openly saying that the prince is not as good as this Marquis, so with the wisdom of my father, I will never hand over Da Zhao to the prince, so this Marquis concludes that this edict must be fake!"

"This is the reason why the old man stopped Lord Hou. Under the circumstances at that time, Lord Hou absolutely could not stand up and question the late king's will!" Zhuang Ping said with a sigh.

"Why? Does Master Situ also think this will is true?" Now Zhang Xian was even more puzzled.

Zhuang Ping shook his head and said: "I don't know if the edict is true or not, but this edict was read out by Mi Fan. Mi Fan has a high prestige in Da Zhao. No one would disbelieve his words, so no matter the Whether the edict is true or not, if it is read from Mi Fang's mouth, it can only be true!"

"Then what should Benhou do? Is it possible to just watch Zhang Lin sit on the throne? If this is the case, then wouldn't Benhou be a fool these years? Benhou is not reconciled!" Hearing Zhuang Ping's words Zhang Xian was very unwilling. He was very dissatisfied with Zhang Lin. He believed that he was far superior to Zhang Lin in terms of literature, martial arts, and governance. Zhang Lin was only the eldest son of the king. Otherwise, how could it be his turn to be the Prince of Zhao?Not to mention sitting on the throne of King Zhao, but judging from Zhuang Ping's tone now, it seems that Zhang Lin's sitting on the throne is already a certainty, so how can Zhang Xian be reconciled?
But at this time, Zhuang Ping showed a smile, and said mysteriously: "Actually, there is no other way!"
