Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Jing Jing hurriedly said: "My lord, this is a good opportunity to weaken Zhao Guo and even kill Zhao Kuo."

As long as Zhao Kuo could be killed, no matter how slim the chance, Jingyang would not miss it.

The King of Chu glanced at Jingyang, and couldn't help but sneer: "Weaken Zhao Guo?

Da Sima, let me just say it straight, instead of having the energy to pay attention to the internal strife of Zhao Guoren, it is better to care about us Da Chu!Forgot what the widow just said?

Don't wait until the day the rebels come here to realize that you are not prepared at all! "

Jingyang was directly stunned and had nothing to say.

Chunshen Jun on the side originally wanted to say a few words, but now he closed his mouth very tactfully.

The king of Chu looked at the group of ministers of the state of Chu in front of him, his heart became more and more irritable, and he stood up directly.

"Come here today, the meeting is over!"

After saying this, King Chu left without looking back.

As for the state of Zhao and Zhao Kuo, for the king of Chu who is now troubled by various rebellions, that is not a problem at all.

No time to pay attention!Now that Chu's own house is on fire, who cares whether the foundation of Zhao's house is stable?

In the main hall, the ministers of the Chu Kingdom looked at each other with a bit of helplessness on their faces.

It's obviously a good opportunity, but I can only say that it's too unfortunate!

Chapter 839 Mr. Pingyang Suggests Reclaiming Military Power

Time passes day by day.

Around the plan, the two sides broke out a round of offense and defense.

After a fierce attack, Zhao Kuo and Pingyang Jun each lost some subordinates.

But generally speaking, most of the officials in Zhao Kuo's side came from the Academy, so they are more capable and better at protecting themselves.

Although the officials on Pingyang Jun's side are old-fashioned, they suffer a lot due to their lack of ability.

After the whole plan is over, Pingyang Jun's losses are obviously still greater.

Originally, Jun Pingyang's power was inferior to that of Zhao Kuo, but now he has become even more inferior.

This made Pingyang Jun feel more urgent, and finally made up his mind.

On this day, Lord Pingyang entered the palace in a carriage.

In the main hall, King Zhao was reviewing the memorial, and he was a little surprised to see Lord Pingyang coming: "Mr. Pingyang, aren't you Xiumu today?"

Hugh Mu means "rest and bathe", which is the rest day for ancient officials.

Mr. Pingyang thought that if I didn't take advantage of this opportunity to come, wouldn't I be discovered by Zhao Kuo's minions?

Lord Pingyang smiled and said: "It's like this, the old minister suddenly thought of something, so he came to the palace to talk to the king."

Zhao Wang was a little puzzled, and said: "So anxious?

Then you can say it. "

Lord Pingyang said: "The thing is like this, my lord, yesterday I was chatting with some colleagues, and I heard someone mention that most of the army commanders in Handan City are now Wu Xinjun's former troops.

The veteran felt that Handan was the capital of the Great Zhao after all, so the candidate for the commander of the army that besieged Handan City should of course be proposed by the king to be more reliable. "

Zhao Wang obviously did not expect that this topic was actually brought up by Pingyang Jun, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Because he had not been in power before, when he first seized power through a coup d'état, King Zhao actually belonged to a state with few confidants at all.

Therefore, King Zhao could only promote his chief bodyguard to serve as the general of the imperial guards and lead the imperial guards to defend the palace.

As for the defense of Handan City, the king of Zhao at that time was naturally handed over to Zhao Kuo's people, which was also the safest choice.

Later, after taking charge of the government, King Zhao had many things to worry about. In addition, Handan now belongs to the rear of Zhao State, and there is basically no risk of being attacked, so King Zhao put this matter behind him.

Seeing Zhao Wang's stunned look, Pingyang Jun continued: "It's not that the old minister is talkative, but my family is always more trustworthy than others, isn't it?

To put it bluntly, if Lord Wu Xin has any intention of disobedience, wouldn't it be a big trouble if the tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses in Handan City were used by him? "

Although this sentence contained some unwarranted meanings, it made King Zhao's body tremble.

Yes.

Defenses can not do without.

Throughout the ages, it seems that the military power in the capital city really has no reason to be controlled by the cronies of the courtiers.

It's just that Zhao Wang was a little hesitant, and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to take back this military power, right?

If Wu Xinjun knew, he probably wouldn't be happy either. "

After all, Zhao Kuo had just won two big victories for Zhao Guo and destroyed Yan Guo.

Just two months after he came back, he directly took down the military power in Handan?

It's a bit unreasonable.

When Pingyang Jun saw this, he immediately knew that King Zhao was moved, but he still hesitated.

Lord Pingyang struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong.

If this military power is not in the hands of the king, it will be a real hidden danger.

If Lord Wu Xin was a loyal minister of Da Zhao, he would definitely know this truth.

If he refuses to hand over the military power, then the veteran dares to think that he really has the heart of disobedience! "

This sentence was very serious, and it directly changed Zhao Wang's face.

Zhao Wang subconsciously shook his head: "No, no, probably not.

Wu Xinjun should be quite loyal. "

Looking at King Zhao's appearance, Pingyang Jun couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Your Majesty, your father and mother tried every means to suppress Wu Xinjun back then, and even you were afraid of Wu Xinjun a lot.

Treat others like this, and still think that others are absolutely loyal?

Lord Pingyang is not sure whether Zhao Kuo is loyal, but Lord Pingyang thinks that if he changes places with Zhao Kuo, he must have a lot of complaints.

But today Mr. Pingyang came to persuade Zhao Wang, not to complain about Zhao Wang, so naturally he would not say this kind of thought.

Lord Pingyang continued: "Your Majesty, please think about it carefully, they say you are not afraid of [-] but just in case, what if something really happens?

The king is a man of gold, and Zhao Guo's country is worthless. How could he give in to Zhao Kuo because of a small worry?

Besides, he, Zhao Kuo, is a courtier, and he should obey the orders of the king, so why should he complain?

The old minister felt that the king was too worried! "

Zhao Wang: "" After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Wang suddenly felt that what Lord Pingyang said was also reasonable.

The widow is the king, and the order of the widow is the highest will of Zhao.

Why do you have to worry about whether Wu Xinjun is satisfied or not when the widow orders?

Thinking of this, Zhao Wang finally made up his mind and said: "Well, it's not too late, let's find Mr. Wu Xin immediately!"

An hour later, Zhao Kuo appeared in the hall.

"I have seen the king, but I don't know why the king summoned the ministers?"

Zhao Kuo glanced at Pingyang Jun while asking King Zhao.

Isn't this old boy Xiu Mu today? Why is he here?

Could it be that Zhao Kuo seemed to understand something in his heart.

At this time, King Zhao said: "Mr. Wu Xin, who is the current General of Handan?"

General Handan is the highest military commander in Handan City.

Zhao Kuo's heart jumped slightly, knowing that he was coming.

Zhao Kuo said calmly, "Back to Your Majesty, the current General of Handan is Xu Lin."

Xu Lin is the younger brother of Xu Li, Zhao Kuo's number one confidant.

King Zhao nodded, and said calmly: "This Xu Lin is a talent. I plan to transfer him to Youbeiping County in Yandi as a county captain. What do you think of Mr. Wu Xin?"

This is to seize military power.

But seizing military power also requires a method. It is impossible to dismiss Zhao Kuo's people. After all, everyone has not broken their faces, and King Zhao does not want to tear faces with Zhao Kuo.

Transferring Xu Li to Yandi as an insignificant county lieutenant is also a promotion in name, and then he can also place Zhao Wang's own confidants in the position of General Handan.

It has to be said that Zhao Wang's power tactics have indeed begun to mature slowly.

Beside Zhao Wang, Pingyang Jun looked at Zhao Kuo gloatingly.

In Pingyang Jun's mind, Zhao Kuo was probably reluctant to give up. After all, although the position of General Handan is not a high official position, it is an absolute position of real power.

In fact, not only Lord Pingyang, but even King Zhao was a little nervous.

Don't look at what Zhao Wang thought just now, "a widow is the king", but after all, Zhao Kuo's power and prestige are here, and Zhao Wang is not blind, so of course it is impossible to ignore it.

Zhao Kuo smiled, and said to Zhao Wang, "Since it is the king's order, I naturally have no problem."

Zhao Wang and Pingyang Jun were stunned at the same time.

Chapter 840: Lord Pingyang’s Failure

Before this, Mr. Pingyang had conceived of this matter many times, and had drawn many kinds of results.

But no matter which time it was conceived, there was absolutely no such result of handing over the military power more than a very happy one.

In Pingyang Jun's view, Zhao Kuo's longing for power is well known to everyone. It is rare to be able to control the military power in Handan City. Zhao Kuo will definitely not give up.

Even if Zhao Kuo really gave up his military power in the end, he would definitely be dissatisfied with King Zhao and express this dissatisfaction.

At that time, Lord Pingyang can use this situation to continue to persuade King Zhao, so that King Zhao can finally kill Zhao Kuo.

But now things have completely exceeded Pingyang Jun's expectations.

Zhao Kuo didn't have any hesitation or embarrassment or anger. Just after hearing what King Zhao said, he happily chose to hand over the military power in Handan.

Is this still the Zhao Kuo in Pingyang Jun's impression?

Even Zhao Wang's thinking is actually similar.

King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, are you sure?"

Although he had clearly heard Zhao Kuo's answer just now, King Zhao still had an unreal feeling in his heart.

Obviously Zhao Wang thought about it, hesitated for so long, and felt that this should be a very difficult and important matter.

But to Zhao Kuo, it seemed to be just a trivial matter.

Seeing Zhao Wang's expression, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing.

This king is obviously too young, not black-bellied enough, nor thick-skinned enough.

Zhao Kuo said to Zhao Wang: "Your Majesty, I am very sure.

Since it is the king's order, the minister will definitely obey it. "

This moment in Zhao Kuo's heart can be said to be quite happy. Don't look at Mr. Pingyang's calculations for so long, but in the end, didn't I come to nothing?

Although strictly speaking, the loss of General Handan is indeed some loss of Zhao Kuo.

But if this kind of loss can be exchanged for the failure of Pingyang Jun's plan, no matter how you look at it, Zhao Kuo will make more money.

After all, as long as Jun Pingyang's plan fails, it's time to start the counterattack.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Pingyang Jun was completely stunned.

The whole thing here has completely exceeded Pingyang Jun's expectation, making Pingyang Jun a little at a loss for a while.

Zhao Wang was silent for a long while, and his heart was overwhelmed.

At this moment, Zhao Wang just wanted to say, who said Wu Xinjun's loyalty was not enough.

Handan's military power was handed over so happily, can it still be said that loyalty is not enough?

Thinking of this, King Zhao couldn't help but smile.
