Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Chapter 747 Pingyang Jun advances in slander, Lianpo rises again (second update)

Handan, the palace city of Zhao State.

"What, King Qi actually made such a request?"

After listening to the envoy of Qi State, the young King Zhao was furious.

If it wasn't for Lord Pingyang's desperate winking, King Zhao even wanted to throw the hideous envoy of Qi State out of Handan directly.

After restraining his temper and dismissing the envoy of Qi State, King Zhao said to Lord Pingyang rather displeasedly: "Mr. Pingyang, why did you stop the widow just now?

This king of Qi is really deceiving people too much! "

After all, King Zhao was still just a young boy, and it was the time when he was most vigorous and rebellious. At this time, he was suddenly threatened and couldn't attack. One can imagine the degree of annoyance in his heart.

Jun Pingyang actually had other considerations in his mind.

Does Mr. Pingyang understand war?

To be honest, he really didn't understand.

Don't look at Mr. Pingyang who has been an important minister of Zhao State for so many years, but he has never been on the front line in so many battles of Zhao State, and he is a real war idiot.

But although Mr. Pingyang doesn't understand war, he understands politics.

What is politics?

That is to seize every opportunity to make a wave of their own political enemies.

At this moment, isn't it the best time for Mr. Pingyang to engage in a wave of Zhao Kuo?

Lord Pingyang had settled his calculations, and immediately put on a worried expression, and said to King Zhao: "My lord, what deserves attention is not the attitude of King Qi, but the deep meaning inside."

King Zhao couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "What's the deeper meaning here?"

When Mr. Pingyang heard this, his heart suddenly settled down.

Sure enough, our king is young and easy to fool.

Lord Pingyang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the current situation is like this. Originally, Qi State only needed money. Why did King Qi suddenly change his mind and want to get more things from our Da Zhao?"

King Zhao thought for a while and said, "Of course it's because King Qi is greedy."

Lord Pingyang shook his head and said, "No, it's not like this.

Please think about it, King, doesn’t King Qi know that our Great Zhao is the most powerful country in the world today?

Of course he knew.

Not only do you know, but some time ago, King Qi was captured by our Great Zhao army and became a prisoner of our Great Zhao!Under such circumstances, King Qi still dared to send envoys to negotiate terms in front of our Great Zhao. What does this mean?

It shows that King Qi has nothing to fear!Why is King Qi so confident?

The minister felt that this matter probably happened on the battlefield of Wu Xinjun. "

King Zhao was taken aback when he heard this, and after a while he said: "So, what happened?"

Lord Pingyang spread his hands and said, "This minister doesn't know either. Now that the frontline army is under the control of Lord Wu Xin, who can know the real situation?"

Zhao Wangdao: "But the battle report just sent by Wu Xinjun said everything is normal?"

Lord Pingyang couldn't help laughing: "My lord, will Lord Wu Xin admit it honestly?

He must have found a way to cover it up, as long as he wins the battle and then report, won't everything pass smoothly?

But what if you don't win in the end? "

Zhao Wang was speechless.

Under the guidance of Lord Pingyang, King Zhao suddenly felt that it was not the same thing to trust Lord Wu Xin too much and to hand over the military power to Lord Wu Xin.

King Zhao snorted heavily, and said: "Then what are you waiting for, let Lian Po come to see the widow!"

Soon, Lian Po walked into the palace hall and bowed respectfully to King Zhao: "Old minister Lian Po, I have seen the king!"

Compared with before, Lian Po still has white hair and is still full of energy.

After all, at the age of 80, he was a strong man who could eat a few big bowls of rice and a few catties of beef, mount a horse and wield weapons to fight. Now he is only 70 years old, and he is still tough.

King Zhao looked at Lian Po and said calmly, "Lian Po, you should know that Lord Pingyang nominated you to be the great Sima some time ago."

Lian Po respectfully said: "I have indeed heard about this matter."

Zhao Wangdao: "If the widow asks you to be the chief Sima, what will you do?"

Lian Po's body was visibly shaken, and he said very respectfully: "If the old minister is really lucky enough to be the great Sima, then the old minister will naturally only follow the orders of the king from now on, and the old minister will never go west if the king tells the old minister to go east. I hope that I can devote myself to the king and die!"

Zhao Wang chuckled and felt relieved.

The post of Great Sima has been temporarily shelved by Zhao Kuo since the last court meeting was strongly opposed by Zhao Kuo.

This hold has been put on hold until now.

Now, King Zhao felt that it was time to make a decision.

Zhao Wang said lightly: "Lian Po, you did make many big mistakes before, ruining the lives of many soldiers of Da Zhao.

But the widow also knows that you have also made great contributions to Da Zhao in the past, and the merits and demerits are equal!Now, when Da Zhao conquered Yan, Wu Xinjun on the front line seemed to have encountered some difficulties.

The widow wants to send someone who really understands the situation on the battlefield to the front line to see what's going on, can you do it? "

Lian Po said almost without hesitation: "Old minister is absolutely fine, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Wang nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very well, then you can go.

Take a good look, and tell the widow what you see!If this thing is done well, there is a position waiting for you! "

Although King Zhao didn't say what this position was, everyone present knew it very well.

Da Sima's position!Lian Po's body trembled with excitement.

For this competitive old general, being dismissed because of failure all the time is definitely the biggest shame in Lian Po's heart.

Now, Lian Po has another chance to be reinstated as an official again, and has another chance to charge for Zhao Guo. How can this make the old general not excited?

Lian Po bowed respectfully to King Zhao again: "Your servant, take orders!"

After a while, Lian Po's carriage left Miyagi.

After leaving Miyagi, Lian Po's carriage did not go home immediately, but waited outside Miyagi for a while.

Then, another carriage came, it was Jun Pingyang's carriage.

The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help feeling a little emotional in their hearts.

Once upon a time, Lian Po and Ping Yangjun were the giants of the two factions, who had been hostile and against each other for decades.

Now, due to a chance meeting, the two actually started to join forces!Pingyang Jun said lightly: "General Lian Po, you should know what to do, right?"

Lian Po smiled slightly, and also saluted Lord Pingyang very respectfully: "Thank you Lord Pingyang for your great kindness, this old man will definitely follow the order of Lord Pingyang this time, and let the king see Zhao Kuo, a guy who is as rich as gold and jade. The real inside story!"

Jun Pingyang looked at Lian Po who was respectful like a younger brother in front of him, and laughed out loud triumphantly.

Zhao Kuo, of course the old man knows that you can win the war.

But what you never imagined is that even if you destroy the Yan Kingdom, the king's impression of you will not be better, but will become worse!

Chapter 748 Changes in other countries (third change)

Qi is not the only one affected by this war situation.

When the Qi State envoy arrived in Handan and put pressure on King Zhao, other countries also got the news.

The king of Chu hesitated for a long time, and instead of holding a meeting immediately, he summoned Yin Chunshenjun Huang Xie, the order of the state of Chu, alone.

King Chu said: "Mr. Chunshen, look at the current situation. Lord Wuxin and Zhao Kuo don't seem to have made much progress. Should we, Great Chu, change our previous neutral attitude and try to participate?"

Chun Shenjun also fell into deep thought when he heard the words, his old face was full of tangled expressions.

After a long while, Chunshen Jun said: "Your Majesty, this old minister still thinks that this cannot be done."

The King of Chu was not surprised, but asked straightforwardly, "Why?"

Chunshen Jun said seriously: "Your Majesty, actually think about it, in the past Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo fought so many battles, which one can be won quickly?

What Zhao Kuo is best at is to start a thunderstorm in a silent place and knock down others with a surprise attack.

Therefore, the veteran feels that the current situation is not that Zhao Kuo has nothing to do with the Yan army, but that Zhao Kuo is planning a surprise attack on the Yan army!If our great Chu treacherously sent troops to Zhao Guo, and then news came that Zhao Kuo had defeated the Yan army. At that time, if Zhao Wang negotiated peace with Yan Guo and turned around to attack our Great Chu, then our Great Chu Isn't it bad? "

When the King of Chu heard the words, his expression changed drastically.

After a while, the King of Chu said with emotion: "Mr. Chunshen, you are so right. Fortunately, the widow summoned you first. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a big mistake!"

Under Chun Shenjun's persuasion, the King of Chu finally made a decision: "Since this is the case, then the widow will not participate in this war at all this time, let's wait for them to decide the outcome! "

In the Daliang Palace, the capital of the State of Wei, the fierce quarrel has been going on for many days.

Lord Long Yang said very loudly: "Zhao State has reached a stalemate among Yan State, this is the best time to send troops to attack Zhao State.

As long as the Zhao people are not prepared to attack Daliang City in one fell swoop, the Great Wei will not only be able to recover all of their homeland, but maybe Zhao Guo will be beaten to the same level as the Qi State back then, leaving only two cities, or even the Zhao State will not be destroyed. impossible!Your Majesty, if you don't send troops at this time, it will really be a missed opportunity! "

As a member of Yu Xin's clan, Lord Longyang's hatred for Zhao Kuo and Zhao Guo can be imagined.

Over the years, Wei State's repeated failures against Zhao State made Longyang Lord even more mad.

Now that there is such a promising plan to stab Zhao Guo in the back, Lord Longyang will definitely not let it go, and try his best to persuade King Wei to do so.

However, not everyone agrees with Mr. Longyang's view.

Lord Xinling Wei Wuji's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "It's just nonsense! Now Zhao Jun is just stalemate with Yan Jun on the battlefield. Zhao Jun did not lose, and Yan Jun did not win! We Great Wei is now almost the weakest country among the Seven Kingdoms. At this time, it is actually going to send troops to Zhao Kingdom, the strongest country among the Seven Kingdoms. Where does the confidence come from?

If you ask me, sending troops like this is no different from courting death! "

Lord Longyang was furious, and said: "200 years ago, Wu Qi, the general of the Wei State, led 20 soldiers and horses to defeat the [-] army of the Qin State, thus establishing the hegemony of the Great Wei.

Unexpectedly, 200 years later, the descendants of our Wei State will not even have the courage to fight against the enemy? "

Lord Xinling retorted without showing any weakness: "Fight against the enemy?

When Daliang City was besieged, Ben Hou personally defended the city wall and beheaded the heads of Zhao soldiers. Does this count as confronting the enemy?

And some people?

It's ridiculous to just hide in the palace tremblingly, and then jump out at this time, relying on the king's favor to casually point out the country! "

With the successive failures of the Wei State, the internal contradictions of the Wei State are actually deteriorating rapidly.

There is no way, someone has to bear the responsibility for the failure, if it is not on the side of Lord Longyang, it must be on the side of Lord Xinling. After all this, everyone has a confidant and is forced to take the blame. It is really strange that this relationship can be good. up.

Lord Longyang had a "pretty face" of frost, and said coldly: "This Marquis is thinking about Wei, not some reckless man who can only lose battles all day long!"

Lord Xinling was also completely enraged, tearing his face, and said: "This Marquis is also thinking about Great Wei, not some trash who has not done anything for Great Wei except flattering His Majesty all day long!"

Lord Longyang was furious, and shouted: "Wei Wuji, who do you call a waste?"

Lord Xinling sneered, "How about you guess who I'm talking about?"

Lord Longyang was furious, and was about to have a real-life PK with Lord Xinling. At this time, King Wei finally couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Enough, what's the point of making so much noise, why don't you put the widow, the king, on the spot?" In your eyes?"

When King Wei got angry, both of them fell silent at the same time, but they still stared at each other fiercely, as if they wanted to tear each other into pieces.

The King of Wei knocked on the table a few times, first scolded Lord Longyang and Lord Xinling, and then said: "Even if the current Great Wei came out with a force to conquer the country, it would only be able to confiscate [-] yuan. Soldiers and horses, what is the use of these [-] soldiers and horses?

The widow has already decided, this matter will stop here, and we will talk about it after the war has further results!But Mr. Xinling, you have to prepare well when you go back. If you really hear the news of Zhao Guo's failure, then you must immediately prepare to send troops! "

Lord Xinling and Lord Longyang naturally could only listen to orders after hearing the words.

As for King Han of another country, King Han was very calm: "Let them fight, it's none of your business to beat them to death!"

Han Wang is very Buddhist, because Han Wang can see that Zhao Guo usually only hits the kind of thorns who like to show up. If he behaves peacefully, it is absolutely impossible to be targeted by Zhao Guo under normal circumstances.

Now there are only two kinds of countries in this world, one is Zhao Guo, and the other is a country that was beaten up by Zhao Guo. South Korea doesn't want to be this beaten up country.

On the other side of Qin, the whole situation is very delicate.

When Lu Buwei learned that Zhao Kuo's war was not going well, he also called Mao Sui immediately.

"The poison is ready?"

Mao Sui hurriedly said: "It's been prepared a long time ago. It tastes a bit bitter, but it will definitely kill you if you drink it!"

Lu Buwei chuckled, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "Now, it's time for us to make great achievements!"
