Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Beside Mr. Pingyuan, Mr. Pingyang Mr. Zhao Bao shook his head and said, "Yu Qing's words are wrong. Although General Lian Po has rich experience, he is too conservative after getting old, and he dare not even take the initiative to attack. Could it be? Do you want Zhao Guo to give Shangdang County to Qin Guo for nothing?"

Lin Xiangru said: "Qin is powerful now, so what's the harm in giving Shangdang County to Qin?

It's better than letting Zhao Kuo go to lead the army and cost the lives of 40 of our soldiers! "

Lord Pingyuan said angrily: "It's just nonsense. If Qin State occupies Shangdang County, it can send troops from Shangdang to threaten our capital Handan at any time. How can we just give up Shangdang County to Qin State? Doesn't it mean that the people of Qin put the knife on our heads?

Since Lian Po didn't dare to fight, why not let Zhao Kuo, who dared to fight, go up! "

The argument between several people gave King Zhao a headache, and he finally couldn't help but said: "Don't argue, all you gentlemen!"

The crowd suddenly quieted down.

Zhao Wang coughed and said: "Lin Qing and Yu Qing's concerns are understandable, but the current situation is such that it is absolutely impossible for Shangdang County to back down. Besides, the decisive battle has already begun. What's the benefit of talking about it? ?

Let's just wait for the outcome of the war. "

After Zhao Wang said these words, everyone immediately lost the interest in arguing and fell silent.

Zhao Wang saw the situation where the two factions were fighting each other, and his head was very headache.

Zhao Kuo, can you do it?

In fact, King Zhao didn't trust Zhao Kuo very much. It was only because Lord Pingyuan strongly recommended that Zhao Kuo replaced Lian Po as the general.

In the midst of this silence, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

Everyone looked up subconsciously, and found that it was an old man dressed in eunuch clothes with gray temples.

Don't underestimate this old man, his name is Miao Xian, and he is the eunuch of Zhao State, who is equivalent to the head of the palace. He recommended Lin Xiangru to King Zhao Hui back then.

Miao Xian said in a hurried tone: "My lord, the battle report of the Changping battlefield in Shangdang County has been sent back!"

Saying this sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Zhao Wang couldn't wait to ask: "What's the result?"

Miao Xian looked around the crowd, and when the atmosphere was extremely tense, the old eunuch Ling showed a big smile.

"Your Majesty, we have won! General Zhao Kuo wiped out more than 30 people from the Qin Army on the battlefield of Changping, achieving an unprecedented victory!"

This news was like a blockbuster that exploded in the hall in an instant, making everyone dizzy and unable to control themselves.

Zhao Kuo won?

Zhao Kuo won!

Chapter 16 Zhao Kuozhen is a good general of the country

Mr. Pingyuan didn't care about any demeanor anymore, he jumped up from his seat, waved his fists excitedly, and let out a roar.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Kuo has won! Zhao Guo has won!"

The young Zhao Wang also showed an extremely excited smile on his face: "Yes, Zhao Kuo won, Zhao Kuo won! We all know, we all know that Zhao Kuo will definitely win!"

Zhao Wang is happy from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Kuo not only defeated Qin, but also wiped out 30 Qin troops! What kind of concept is the 30 Qin army?

The people of Qin State have become a powerful country since Shang Yang’s reform. Since then, Qin State has hardly suffered any major defeats in the past 100 years. In the battle with it, one hundred thousand Qin troops were wiped out.

Now, Zhao Kuo tripled this already amazing record!Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao was overjoyed, and said: "Your Majesty employs people well, Zhao Kuo is brave and good at fighting, and it is the blessing of Zhao Guo to have a monarch like this!"

Hearing these pleasing words, King Zhao finally couldn't help laughing: "Very good, very good, Zhao Kuo is indeed a good general of the country, a good general of the country!"

In the excitement of Zhao Wang and Yuan Jun and Ping Yang Jun, Lin Xiangru and Yu Xin looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Especially Lin Xiangru, just now he kept questioning Zhao Kuo's ability, but before he finished speaking, Zhao Kuo slapped Lin Xiangru in the face with his actual performance, embarrassing this virtuous official.

If there was a hole in the ground at this moment, Lin Xiangru would definitely go straight into it.

It's a shame, it's really a shame.

Lin Xiangru has done so many great deeds in his life, and when was he so embarrassing?

At this moment, Mr. Pingyuan cast his eyes on Lin Xiangru, showing a smile: "Lin Qing, you just kept saying that Zhao Kuo is not good, and now the battle report is here. Zhao Kuo not only defeated Bai Qi, but also created the greatest victory since the founding of Zhao Kuo." Annihilation record, what do you have to say?"

Lin Xiangru's face was burning hot. Seeing that King Zhao was also watching him, he knew that today's matter was absolutely impossible to avoid, so he stood up and bowed down: "Your Majesty, I am short-sighted, and I almost missed Zhao Guo's important affairs. Please also ask Your Majesty to surrender!" crime!"

Yu Xin also came forward to plead guilty.

Zhao Wang looked at Lin Xiangru and Yu Xin who were kneeling on the ground, hesitant.

These two people really missed Zhao Guo's important affairs. If King Zhao really listened to these two people and continued to use Lian Po instead of sending Zhao Kuo to play, then the victory would be impossible to talk about.

But Lin Xiangru is the teacher of Zhao Wang, and he is also the auxiliary minister left by the previous generation of Zhao Wang, and Yu Xin is the minister who was single-handedly promoted by Zhao Wang after he ascended the throne, all of them are his own.

Zhao Wang was silent for a moment, and said: "Lin Xiangru and Yu Xin, you two did make a mistake, but fortunately it didn't cause any real impact, so the widow fined you three years of salary and asked you to plead guilty to Zhao Kuo face to face, you can be convinced ?”

After hearing these words, Lin Xiangru and Yu Xin were a little surprised.

Not because it was too heavy, but because the punishment was too light.

Not to mention three years of salary, 30 years is a drop in the bucket for senior officials like Lin Xiangru and Yu Xin.

How can this kind of punishment be called punishment? It's simply protecting.

Lin Xiangru and Yu Xin did not dare to be negligent, and immediately kowtowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will be convinced!"

Lord Pingyuan on the side suddenly became anxious, and said: "Your Majesty, this..." Lord Pingyuan's words were directly interrupted by King Zhao: "Mr. Pingyuan, do you have any opinion on the treatment of the widow?"

Lord Pingyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, these two slandered Zhao Kuo so much, but they only received this little punishment, what will Zhao Kuo think when he hears this?

You can't chill the heart of the hero! "

Zhao Wang's face sank, and he said very unhappy: "Mr. Pingyuan's words are meaningless. Zhao Kuo will reward him for his meritorious deeds. Lin Qing and Yu Qing will also be punished for their mistakes. What else do you want?

Zhao Kuo was recommended by you, do you also want to use this to make a chapter? "

Mr. Pingyuan was cornered by these words, so he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty's words are serious, and I am completely convinced by your Majesty's verdict."

Only then did King Zhao smile and said, "That's right.

Lin Qing and Yu Qing, you two go back and think about your mistakes and how to make amends.

Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Pingyang, the two of you immediately organize a grand ceremony. I want to celebrate with the whole of Handan and the whole of Dazhao! "

After a while, all the officials dispersed, leaving only Ling Miaoxian, the eunuch of Zhao Guo, still.

Zhao Wang's face gradually faded, he sighed, and said, "Miao Qing, do you think it's right for the widow to do this?"

Zhao Wang was watched by Miao Xian since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is very close. Zhao Wang also has the most trust in Miao Xian, even his uncle Pingyuan Lord and Pingyang Lord cannot compare.

When discussing the most secret matters, King Zhao never only discussed with Miao Xian.

Miao Xian's old face was very calm, and he said, "It's not that the king doesn't want to punish Lin Xiangru for his short-sightedness, but he thinks that the official faction is too powerful, and he wants to support the scholar faction, right?"

King Zhao nodded and said, "Yes.

Lord Pingyuan has raised so many disciples in the mansion, and promoted them to the court of Zhao State. Now half of the court is filled with people from the public office. How can I let the widow feel at ease?

Originally, the widows promoted Yu Xin to make him and Lin Xiangru Lianpo allies, hoping that the scholar faction could balance the power of the official faction.

As a result, Zhao Kuo of the Gongshi faction has won such a big victory again. Alas, if this continues, won't no one be able to stop the Gongshi faction of Mr. Pingyuan? "

King Zhao is not worried about Lord Pingyuan, because Lord Pingyuan is also the son of King Zhao Wuling, so he can kill King Zhao and become the new King Zhao himself. This kind of thing happened too much in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Miao Xian thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, this Zhao Kuo may not necessarily be on the side of the Gongshi faction."

Zhao Wang was taken aback, and said, "What does this mean?"

Miao Xiandao: "Although Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao She, is also a descendant of our Zhao family, the common ancestor of Zhao She and the king was hundreds of years ago, so Zhao She is actually just a scholar who came from a minor official background. .

Therefore, Zhao Kuo's life when his father did not make a fortune when he was a child was also very poor.

Such a general who has the blood of the Zhao family, but also started as a low-level scholar, is the best target that the king can use to reconcile the official faction and the scholar faction. "

King Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "What Miao Qing said is absolutely true, Zhao Kuo is a chess piece, I will definitely use it!"

Chapter 17 Let Zhao Kuo die without a place to bury him

Lin Xiangru and Yu Xin left the palace in the same carriage.

In the carriage, both of them were a little silent.

Finally, Lin Xiangru took the initiative to break the silence: "Oh, I think people like this have some knowledge, and I really don't like Zhao Kuo.

I didn't expect that he actually won the victory, but the old man really missed it. "

Yu Xin shook his head and said, "No, what Lin Qing said is wrong."

Lin Xiangru was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What's wrong?"

Yu Xin said in a deep voice: "I have also met Zhao Kuo. He is very arrogant. He is not a person who can accomplish anything at all, let alone defeat Bai Qi."

Lin Xiangru spread his hands and said, "But he did it."

Yu Xin's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared: "Lin Qing, who said that Zhao Kuo must be the one who defeated Bai Qi?"

Lin Xiangru was taken aback again, and said, "Qing Yu, what do you mean?"

Yu Dao said, "Did Lin Qing forget that General Lian Po also stayed under Zhao Kuo's command as a lieutenant general?"

Lin Xiangru was a little puzzled at first, and then he was taken aback: "What do you mean?" Yu Xin nodded, and said in a deep voice, "That's right.

What I mean is very simple. Zhao Kuo actually has no skills at all. He won the Changping Battle only by relying on General Lian Po's advice. "

Lin Xiangru opened his mouth wide, and after a while he said in shock, "Impossible.

Lian Po was also an old friend of the old man, and he wrote in a letter before the decisive battle that he was actually not sure, it was all hope that Zhao Kuo gave advice. "

Yu Xin shook his head and said, "Lin Qing's words are wrong.

Only you can see General Lian Po's letter, who else can see it?

Think about it, Zhao Kuo is just a fledgling rookie, and General Lian Po is the most famous and victorious general in our Zhao country in the past few decades!If you choose one of these two people, most of Zhao's people will definitely choose General Lianpo! "

Lin Xiangru hesitated and said, "Wouldn't that take the credit from Zhao Kuo?

it's not good. "

Yu Xin said seriously: "Lin Qing, do you want to see Mr. Pingyuan and his official faction grow stronger with this victory and overwhelm our momentum?

If we want to continue to fight against the public faction, we must give the credit to General Lian Po to Zhao Kuo, otherwise our life in the court will be too difficult in the future, do you understand? "

Lin Xiangru still hesitated, but couldn't bear Yu Xin's persuasion, and finally made up his mind: "Well, if that's the case, then you and I will immediately let people start to create public opinion in the city, and share the credit of Zhao Kuo!"

There are more than these people who miss Zhao Kuo.

Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.

In the palace, King Qin Yingji sat at the top.

Although he was old, his temples were already gray, and the wrinkles on his forehead became more and more obvious, but as long as he sat there, a majestic aura of a king would naturally spread out.

At this moment, King Qin's face was full of anger, his anger was not aimed at others, but at Lord Wu An Bai Qi who was kneeling in the hall.

"Bai Qi, you trash! The widow gave you an army of 60, sent people to Handan to spread rumors exactly according to your plan, and asked Wang Yan to cover you, and the result?

30 people, the entire 30 army was buried in Shangdang County by you, and buried in the Changping battlefield!What do you have to say? "

King Qin's roar made hundreds of Qin ministers in the hall shudder, and they lowered their heads tightly, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Facing King Qin's furious roar, Bai Qi kowtowed again and again, saying: "I'm guilty of death, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The King of Qin sneered, and said: "From now on, Bai Qi will be deprived of all titles and positions, and put in prison for strict supervision!"

When the King of Qin gave an order, several guards of the Qin Kingdom who walked like dragons and tigers appeared immediately and dragged Bai Qi down.

Many ministers of the Qin State looked at this scene and turned pale.

The majestic Lord Wu An, not long ago was an extremely famous general, but now he was directly beaten to the end, and his life seemed to be lost!However, King Qin's anger didn't stop because of this. His eyes were like lightning, and he fell on the minister of Qin who was closest to him: "Yinghou, tell me, what should we do now!"

Yinghou Fan Sui is now the Prime Minister of Qin State. It is precisely because of Fan Sui's strategy of "strangling from afar and attacking South Korea" that Qin State successively used troops against South Korea. This time, the Battle of Changping was also because Qin State wanted to capture South Korea. It was caused by the party county.

Fan Sui went out and fell to his knees: "Although Bai Qi is incompetent, he is the head of a hundred officials as Xiangbang, so he cannot escape the responsibility.

Please the king come down! "

The King of Qin stared at Fan Sui coldly, the murderous intent in his eyes seemed substantial, but it quickly faded away like melting ice and snow, and he said in a deep voice: "President Fan Sui, the Great Qin Dynasty, should have brought great benefits to the widow and the Great Qin." Victory, but you were defeated because of your incompetence, the widow cut off the title you deserved today, and left you in the prime minister's position for crimes and meritorious deeds, are you convinced?"

Fan Sui's body trembled, he knelt down and said, "Chen, I am convinced!"

Above the main hall, all the ministers of the Qin State were gutted.
