Chapter 903 Lian Po attacks

When Zhao Dan received this memorial from Li Mu, he was somewhat surprised.

and reflection.

"So, is it because I am too optimistic?"

For the current Zhao State, the battle to destroy Qi is undoubtedly the most critical, so after thinking for a while, Zhao Dan ordered people to convene all the important officials of Longtai to hold a military meeting.

At this meeting, Zhao Dan circulated the memorial and asked: "In the opinion of all the people, how should this matter be decided?"

After learning about Li Mu's memorial, the ministers had different expressions.

Zhao Sheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Master, I think the Grand Governor has never been aimless. Since he made such a request, he might have encountered some trouble in the battle situation in Gaowancheng. If a partial army can be used to help, it will indeed play a great role in the main force of our army."

Zhao Sheng’s idea is actually very simple. The Zhao State is really not short of this partial army. Whether it is 50,000 or 100,000, Zhao State can quickly collect and transfer it to the front line within half a month.

As long as you can take over Qi State safely, it is actually no big deal to mobilize so many troops.

What's more, Li Mu is in the limelight now, and Zhao Sheng doesn't want to offend Li Mu because of such a thing.

But some people's ideas are different from Zhao Sheng.

General Lian Po said with a loud voice: "Master, the old minister thinks that Li Mu's general's words are a bit exaggerated. The old ministers of Qi are very clear. The combat power seems to be strong, but in fact it is quite average! Now that Gaowan City cannot be taken down, it may not be that some soldiers are too proud and complacent. Perhaps there is another reason! If the king is willing to give the old minister a chance, then the old minister will be able to break through Gao Wan and take Linzi, and capture King Jianfeng of Qi in front of the king!"

As soon as Lian Po said this, even Zhao Dan couldn't help but be surprised.

It can be seen that this general's desire to fight is really strong.

It is understandable to think about it. After all, Lian Po thought that he was known for his violent attack on Qi. This time he went to war, he did not let Lian Po be the main general. Obviously, the veteran still had an objection in his heart without saying it.

Given Zhao Dan's prestige, if this happened, Lian Po would probably not say much, but now that he has the opportunity to fight for it, Lian Po naturally would not miss this opportunity.

But in this way, Lian Po would obviously offend Li Mu.

But the old general didn't actually care about this.

Because Li Mu grew up so fast.

Eight years ago, Lian Po thought Li Mu would be the next generation of famous generals of Zhao State.

Five years ago, Lian Po felt that Li Mu might be able to make a name for himself and become his right-hand assistant soon.

Three years ago, Lian Po already regarded Li Mu as a famous general of the same level as him.

Now, Lian Po feels that Li Mu can even challenge his position!

Lian Po was actually not worried about Pang Xian and Ju Xin, because both of them were older than Lian Po, but their military achievements were not as prominent as Lian Po.

But Li Mu is different.

With Li Mu's victory again and again, the appeal of Li Mu to quer the king in Zhao State has gradually increased.

Once Li Mu was granted the title of lord, he would be exactly the same as Lian Po for both his title and his military achievements.

By that time, it would be possible for Li Mu to replace Lian Po.

Such a situation may happen as soon as Li Mu destroyed Qi State!

Lian Po is a very strong man. He was very dissatisfied with being suppressed by Zhao She back then, so he joined forces with Lin Xiangru to form an alliance, forming the common sect among the two major sects in Zhao State.

Now that I am old, I am going to be suppressed by Li Mu again? Lian Po cannot accept this result.

Moreover, Lian Po thought that his qualifications were here. Even if he failed in the end, Zhao Dan would not do anything to him. So this time it can be said that he made a big profit if he won, but he would not lose. It is completely worth a try.

Everyone present was a human spirit, so after a brief silent thinking, he naturally guessed Lian Po's ideas to the point of being almost the same.

Ju Xin and Zhao Sheng exchanged a look, and then said, "The General is such a bad word. I remember that during the Battle of Changping, there was also a saying that the general was changed. Fortunately, the King Yingming did not replace the general in the end, which led to the victory of the Battle of Changping. The situation in Qi State is far better than that of Changping in the past. How can we easily change generals at this time and disrupt the morale of the front line?"

"No," Zhao Sheng also said immediately: "It should be noted that the reason why Yan State failed to destroy Qi was because King Hui of Yan believed in villains and ordered the cavalry to replace Le Yi, which led to the victory of Anping Jun in Jimo. The king was so wise that he would not repeat the mistakes of King Hui of Yan."

After a pause, Zhao Sheng continued: "King, I think Juqing is good at leading troops and has made many military achievements for the King and Zhao State. The King is worse than ordering Ju Xin to command this partial army to attack Qi State, which just echoes the Great Governor North and South. It is not difficult to destroy Qi in this way!"

After Lian Po took the lead in the attack, Zhao Sheng and Ju Xin immediately launched a counterattack.

Because these two people suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to win Li Mu over to his side, and by the way, they could also push Ju Xin to the position of the leader of the master, why not do it?

It is absolutely impossible for a general like Lian Po to lead a side army to attack Li Mu, but Ju Xin can do it.

After all, Ju Xin has served as deputy general in many wars over the years, so it is absolutely fine to take this group of partial teachers, and it is even better to be able to make some military achievements at the same time.

Yu Xin was naturally very insightful about Zhao Sheng and the others' good plan, and immediately said, "King, I think it is not easy to mobilize this army. Besides, the partial army was not in the plan. If it is temporarily mobilized, many civilians and young men must be recruited to accompany the army, and production in various places will also be affected. Please be careful."

Of course, Yu Xin stood on Lian Po's side, but Yu Xin was not as direct as Lian Po. Instead, he denied Li Mu by denying the idea of ​​falling out of the side master, thus achieving the goal of saving the country on a curve.

The two sides had a very fierce debate.

Zhao Dan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Mr. Pingyuan and Mr. Wu Xin, don't argue anymore. Let's do this, all the ministers will show me."

The ministers obviously expressed their attitude towards the fact that they had long been accustomed to.

The hope that Lian Po would replace Li Mu, and those who opposed a partial army were Lian Po himself, Yu Xin and Li Bo.

Those who opposed Lian Po's replacement of Li Mu and supported a group of partial teachers were Zhao Sheng and Ju Xin.

It is clearly divided and is not beyond everyone's expectations.

Apart from Li Mu and Pang Nuan who were absent, Zheng Zhu and Li Si were left without any statement.

According to common sense, Zheng Zhu should have spoken first, but this time Li Si said first: "King, I think the war is going well now. If it is really inappropriate to replace the front line leader privately, it is better to issue a side division to assist the attack according to the proposal of the Grand Commander."

As soon as Li Si spoke, a thought arose in the hearts of the ministers: "It is said that the Grand Governor often invites Li Si to have a banquet and hunting together when he is in Handan. It seems that the relationship between these two is indeed extraordinary."

The votes turned into three to three, and everyone's eyes turned to the last minister of Zhao Zheng Zhu who had no statement.

Zheng Zhu is a relatively special person in Zhao State. Judging from his background, he seems to be a natural supporter of the public clan sect, but Zheng Zhu has always been between the two factions. Sometimes it supports this side and sometimes supports that side, which is unpredictable.

Zheng Zhu thought for a while, looked at Zhao Dan, and then said slowly: "King, I think the Grand Commander has been fighting on the grassland for many years, and most of his commands are cavalry. Now he is the first time in command of the infantry army to fight, so it is normal for him to be a little uncomfortable."

When Zheng Zhu said this, Zhao Sheng and Ju Xin's faces were inevitably a little ugly, and Lian Po and Yu Xin looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Could it be that Zheng Zhu wants to support the replacement of Li Mu?

Zheng Zhu said next: "But the command talent of the Grand Governor has been tested over the years and has been recognized and praised by the world. Since this is the case, it is obviously inappropriate to change the generals rashly when the Grand Governor has the advantage. Therefore, I think it is better to support the Grand Governor's proposal, and to attack Qi from two groups."

As soon as Zheng Zhu finished speaking, there was a silence in the hall.

Zhao Sheng and the opera turned their worries into joy, while Lian Po and Yu Xin looked solemn.

But they still have a last glimmer of hope, that is, what Zhao Dan means.

As long as Zhao Dan spoke, even if everyone had a completely unanimous opinion, it could be overthrown.

There is no way, Zhao Dan has too high prestige and too strong the monarchy. As long as he opens his mouth, no matter how dissatisfied or opposed the ministers, he can only pinch his nose and agree.

But the scene that Lian Po and Yu Xin were looking forward to did not happen.

Zhao Dan glanced at the ministers present and then spoke up to make the final decision.
