Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

In the lobby, Yu Xin and Lin Xiangru sat opposite each other, with a faint smile on their faces: "Lin Qing, Your Majesty has agreed to the request for peace talks from the Qin people, and Zhao Kuo will not gain any more military exploits this time."

Anyone who is not deaf can hear the joy in Yu Xin's tone.

Lin Xiangru obviously had some hesitation on his face, and after a while, he sighed lightly: "Is it really a good thing to lose the possible victory of Da Zhao this time just to suppress Zhao Kuo?"

Just as Yu Xin was about to answer, there was another voice like Hong Zhong who helped him answer: "Even if there was no peace negotiation, it is impossible for Zhao Kuo to win in such a short period of time."

General Lian Po of the Zhao State strode into the hall, and the words just now were exactly what Lian Po said.

The arrival of Lian Po made Yu Xin smile a little more, and said to Lin Xiangru in front of him: "Look, Lin Qing, even the general said the same thing, this time it's not just my own opinion."

Lin Xiangru ignored Yu Xin, but turned his attention to Lian Po: "Why did the general say that?"

Yu Xin's military misjudgment is not once or twice, and it is obvious that Lian Po's words are more reliable.

Lian Po said indifferently: "Bai Qi is a man. Although the old man fought against him in Changping before, but this time in the battle of Yiyang, the old man really learned Bai Qi's strength. With Bai Qi's ability, Although Zhao Kuo has more soldiers and horses now, it is impossible to defeat Bai Qi in less than a month."

Lin Xiangru frowned, and said, "So you don't have any basis, General, just a kind of intuition?"

This kind of question obviously made Lian Po very unhappy, and even his tone became a lot higher when he spoke: "What evidence does Lin Qing want?

Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, not to mention you and I are hundreds of miles away in Handan, even if you really come to the battlefield in person, which general dares to say that he knows every detail of the battlefield and can respond in time ? "

Lin Xiangru sighed: "General Lian Po, I don't mean to expose your scars, but I just want to understand the battle situation more objectively.

If Zhao Kuo really has the hope of a quick victory, then this time from the interests of Da Zhao, it is that we did something wrong. "

Lian Po said bluntly: "Impossible, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Kuo to defeat Bai Qi in such a short period of time."

Lin Xiangru said: "But in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo only took eleven days to defeat Bai Qi?"

Lian Po said angrily: "But before that, the old man has fought against Qin Jun Wang Lu for hundreds of days and nights!"

Lin Xiangru was dumbfounded for a moment.

Yu Xin took the opportunity to say: "Lin Qing, it's fine if you say you don't believe my judgment. If you don't even believe the judgment of General Lian Po, isn't it too unreasonable?"

Lin Xiangru sighed and stopped talking.

Seeing that Lin Xiangru had been overwhelmed by the situation, Yu Xin felt complacent and said, "It's these two, since Zhao Kuo's expedition this time is doomed to return in vain, his prestige in the country will inevitably be shaken.

We just need to work harder on the king, and then spread rumors about Zhao Kuo's attempt to usurp power in Handan City and the country. The king will definitely remove Zhao Kuo soon. By then, we will really rest easy ! "

It turned out that Yu Xin's plan was not limited to preventing Zhao Kuo from getting credit, but directly wanted to completely end Zhao Kuo's political life!Yu Xin twisted his beard and looked at Lian Po and Lin Xiangru with some complacency: "What do you two think of my plan?"

Yu Xin hated Zhao Kuo deeply. Zhao Kuo not only slapped Yu Xin in the face one after another, but also threatened Yu Xin's political future. No matter from which point of view, Zhao Yuxin must be eliminated. include.

Lian Po was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, agreeing to Yu Xin's strategy.

Only Lin Xiangru was still a little hesitant: "After all, Zhao Kuo made great contributions to Great Zhao, so it's not appropriate for us to treat him like this."

Seeing Lin Xiangru's attitude, Yu Xin became anxious and said, "Lin Qing, Lin Qing, when are you still thinking about this?

If Zhao Kuo is allowed to continue like this, it will be the time for you and me to die when the king completely trusts Zhao Kuo in the future!Does Lin Qing really want to watch Zhao Kuo get rid of us one by one? "

Lin Xiangru said slowly: "Zhao Kuo's father, Ma Fujun, Zhao She, was also an upright person back then. Although Zhao Kuo acted a little impulsively, he might not necessarily be the kind of villain who would kill everything."

Yu Xin paused and said: "Lin Qing, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others.

Besides, even if Zhao Kuo won't harm us, what about Lord Pingyuan and Lord Pingyang?

These two people have been fighting Lin Qing, you, and the general for decades. Do you think they will let you go after they support Zhao Kuo and gain power completely?

Impossible. "

Yu Xin's words finally made Lin Xiangru shake, but the famous minister of Zhao Guo was still hesitating: "Having said that, Zhao Kuo is the No.1 general of my great Zhao after all. To counter Bai Qi?"

Although not one faction, but Zhao Kuo is the only person who has defeated Bai Qi in the entire Zhao country and even the entire Huaxia. This is an undeniable fact.

Lian Po suddenly said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about this, Yu Qing. Although I lost to Bai Qi once, I guarantee with my life that I will never lose to Bai Qi again in the future!"

The two sang together, and basically said everything that should be said and should not be said. Even if Lin Xiangru wanted to say something again, from a political standpoint, it seemed that there was no need to defend Zhao Kuo.

Lin Xiangru was silent for a long time, heaved a long sigh, and said, "If that's the case, then the old man also..." Suddenly, a panicked voice came from outside the door: "My lord, my lord, things are not good, big things are not good!"

A confidant of Yu Xin's mansion staggered into the lobby.

Yu Xin frowned, and shouted very unhappy: "What do you look like in a panic, don't you see that the old man is discussing matters?

Get out of here, old man! "

However, the confidant retainer didn't seem to hear Yu Xin's words at all, and said the next sentence on his own.

"My lord, the news just came back from the negative front line, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, he won! He won Bai Qi!"

These words fell in the lobby like a heavy bomb, causing the faces of the three giants of Zhao Guo present to change drastically at the same time.

Chapter 74 Yu Xin, What Do You Say?

After a brief silence, Yu Xin was the first to call out: "This is impossible!"

That's Bai Qi, even if he can't fight against Zhao Kuo, how could he fail so quickly?

However, the steward's next words shattered Yu Xin's hope: "My lord, this is the news our people just got from the palace. If there is no accident, the king may soon call the lord into the palace to discuss matters." .”

These words dealt a heavy blow to Yu Xin, and this Zhao Guoshangqing almost lost his temper.

Lian Po's voice sounded: "Since the detailed military situation has arrived in the palace, do you know the specific battle damage?"

There was a bit of a strange expression on the steward's face: "Back to the general, our army's battle damage is zero."

There was a bang, but Lian Po was too excited and bumped into the table when he stood up.

"This is impossible!!"

Lian Po stared at the steward in front of him, and shouted in a gaffe, "How could it be zero battle damage?"

It is actually not surprising that Zhao Kuo can defeat Bai Qi, so if Zhao Kuo goes a step further and can defeat Bai Qi in a short period of time, although it is a bit surprising, it is still acceptable.

However, if it is said that Zhao Kuo defeated Bai Qi with zero battle damage, Yu Xin also roared angrily: "It's just nonsense. Could it be that Zhao Kuo brought heavenly soldiers and generals?"

Lian Po nodded vigorously: "Exactly, it is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen!"

Looking at the two allies who were already a little over-excited, Lin Xiangru sighed, and said to the steward, "Tell me, what's going on?"

The steward said with a bit of helplessness: "Back to Lin Qing, judging from the situation on the front line, it was General Zhao Kuo who suddenly led his army to the north, and then Bai Qi retreated directly to Yiyang, giving up all the land east of Yiyang. To the coalition forces led by Zhao Kuo."

There was a sudden silence in the lobby.

Yu Xin's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself in disbelief: "Bai Qi was so frightened that he retreated hundreds of miles just by sending troops a little?"

Yu Xin felt that this had completely exceeded the common sense of war in his impression.

How could such a thing happen in this world?

Could it be that Bai Qi is a fool?

Looking at the chaotic Yu Xin, Lin Xiangru shook his head, then turned to look at Lian Po: "General, what are you saying now?"

Lian Po opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

Not long ago, Lian Po said with certainty that it was absolutely impossible for Zhao Kuo to defeat Bai Qi, but now the slap in the face came too fast, too loud, and too painful!Lian Po said sullenly: "The old man has nothing to say."

Yes, nothing to say.

Zhao Kuo did what Lian Po thought was impossible.

Zhao Kuo defeated Lian Po's undefeated opponent, and it was twice in a row!In the face of such facts, what can Lian Po say?

There was an ugly silence in the lobby.

Lin Xiangru sighed, and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect the old man's words to come true.

Since Zhao Kuo was able to force the retreat in vain, if I waited instead of insisting on the peace talks but let Zhao Kuo continue to march, this time I would be able to cause greater losses to Qin and win back more things for Da Zhao. ? "

Yu Xin and Lian Po lowered their heads at the same time.

Facing Lin Xiangru's question, they couldn't answer it.

Zhao Wang's envoy arrived in time and broke the ugly embarrassment of the disciplinary committee: "Yu Qing, the king has ordered you to enter the palace immediately! Lin Qing and the general are also there?

Then please enter the palace together. "

Half an hour later, the main hall of the palace city of Handan, Zhao State.

King Zhao's face was very strange, and he looked at Yu Xin in front of him: "Yu Qing, you were the one who said that Zhao Kuo would definitely not be able to win, and that he might even be defeated by Bai Qi, so I listened to your words and negotiated peace with Qin. How are you going to explain this situation to the widow?"

Yu Xin's face was ashen, and he knelt down with a plop: "My lord, it's my fault, please forgive me!"

On the other side, Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Pingyang looked on coldly, with unabashed mockery on their faces.

You must know that when discussing whether to negotiate peace with Qin, Yu Xin made a big splash. Not only did he demote Zhao Kuo, but he also put an unknown hat on these two princes. on the head.

Looking at Yu Xin's appearance now, these two princes only want to say three words to feel comfortable.

Mr. Pingyuan coughed, and said without losing the opportunity: "Yu Qing, Yu Qing, you and I are old colleagues, and this Marquis actually doesn't want to say anything about you.

But this time, do you know what Zhao lost because of the negotiation you led?

It is very likely that it is the entire Hedong County! "

As soon as Lord Pingyuan's words fell, Yu Xin's body shook, and he complained incessantly.

Lord Pingyuan wants Yu Xin to die.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, King Zhao's face suddenly became more and more gloomy.

It is true that Zhao Wang really wanted to control Zhao Kuo, and he was indeed afraid of Zhao Kuo, but it was not to the point where Zhao Kuo could not be used at all.

Moreover, as a monarch, Zhao Wang is very happy to see any behavior of opening up territories.

Finally, Hedong County is the base camp of the Jin State, and it is also the birthplace of the Zhao State from a historical point of view. Not only is this place very rich, but after taking Hedong, it will also greatly add points to the political and international prestige of the Zhao State.

But all of this disappeared because of Yu Xin's words.

Zhao Wang said coldly: "Yu Qing, Yu Qing, it seems that you still haven't learned your lesson."

Yu Xin was terrified, kowtowing repeatedly to beg for mercy.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Lin Xiangru secretly sighed in his heart.

Although Lin Xiangru also felt that Shangyu Xin was stupid in this matter, Yu Xin was Lin Xiangru's ally after all, and it was impossible for Lin Xiangru to just sit back and watch Yu Xin suffer.

Lin Xiangru stood up and said to Zhao Wang, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Zhao Wang still respected Lin Xiangru, the veteran of the two dynasties: "It's okay for Lin Qing to say."

Lin Xiangru said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister also feels that Yu Qing made a mistake in this matter, but please think about it, Your Majesty, Yu Qing's starting point is also for our Great Zhao.

Who dares to say that his strategy is [-]% correct when offering advice?

If Yu Qing was punished because he made a mistake in offering advice, would anyone dare to offer advice to the king in the future?

Your Majesty, please think twice. "

Lian Po also stood up, and said to King Zhao, "Your Majesty, the old minister also reconsidered.

After all, Yu Qing was offering advice for the country. Although she was wrong, it was justifiable. "

Seeing Lin Xiangru and Lian Po interceding for Yu Xin, King Zhao was a little shaken again.

To be honest, among the ministers present, if one were to choose someone whom King Zhao trusted the most, it would really have to be Yu Xin.

If he didn't trust Yu Xin, King Zhao would not have listened to Yu Xin so many times.

So from the heart, King Zhao really didn't want to punish Yu Xin.

After a moment of hesitation, King Zhao already had an idea, and said, "Yu Xin, Yu Xin, although you made a mistake this time, it is indeed justified as Lin Qing and the general said, so Widow this time." King Zhao hadn't finished speaking when a high-pitched report suddenly entered the hall.

"Zhao Kuo Da Sima entered the palace to ask for an audience!"

Chapter 75

This briefing immediately stunned several Zhao Guojun and ministers in the hall.

Zhao Kuo is here?

King Zhao almost thought he heard it wrong, but when he saw that Yu Xin and the others had the same extremely surprised expressions, he knew that he had heard it right.

Zhao Kuo really came.

Zhao Wang muttered to himself: "How did Zhao Kuo come so fast?"

You know, the news of the victory over Lichen has just come back, and it hasn't been half a day yet.
