"I followed your arrangement and told the general of Qin State that your plan, but until now, your plan has not played a role. Why is this?" Ying Yiren looked at Lu Buwei who was kneeling in front of him and asked in confusion. Lu Buwei heard his intention of questioning, and did not accept it. He smiled and said, "I asked Xu Li to recommend Zhao Kuo to King Zhao just to let King Zhao remember that there is a young man like Zhao Kuo."

"The war is not as dangerous as it is to make King Zhao panic. If King Zhao is as desperate as a drowning person, wouldn't he catch Zhao Kuo, a life-saving straw?" Lu Buwei asked back.

Ying Yiren nodded. He thought what Lu Buwei said made sense. He asked again: "What should I do next?"

Lu Buwei smiled and said, "The Zhao Kuo incident is just a small matter that is not worthy of attention for the young master. The reason why I asked you to propose this is to remind the Qin people of you. The King of Qin is old, and your father An Guojun was made the crown prince. An Guojun now wants your brother, Zijun, and his mother is taken care of in the harem. In the middle of your ranking, your mother is not favored. After the King of Qin dies, An Guojun will succeed to the throne as king. Don't expect to compete with your elder brother and other brothers who are around the King of Qin sooner or later to compete for the position of the crown prince."

"You are in the Zhao State where misfortune is unpredictable. If the Qin people defeated Zhao State and surrounded Handan, would the King of Zhao spare your life?"

Ying Yiren was shocked and asked again: "That's right, what should I do?"

"If you can believe me, then please stay in Handan, wear Chu clothes and make more friends."

"Why?"

"I heard in private that An Guojun is very fond of Mrs. Huayang. Mrs. Huayang has no son, but she can only start from her if she can participate in the election of the crown prince. You are poor and embarrassed, and you live here, so you can't come up with anything to offer to your relatives and make friends with guests. Although I, Lu Buwei, are not rich, I am willing to give you a thousand gold to go west to Qin State to lobby for you, serve An Guojun and Mrs. Huayang, and let them make you the crown prince."

When Ying Yiren heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Lu Buwei and said respectfully: "If your plan is realized, I am willing to share the land of Qin with you."

Lu Buwei said nothing, stood up and said goodbye to Ying Yiren. Yiren sent him to the door, then took his hand and repeatedly reminded him: "I care more about your safety than the success of the matter. I hope you can come back safely and never take risks because of this matter." Even though he knew in his heart that Ying Yiren was just a means to win over him, Lu Buwei was still a little moved.

As expected, he did not choose the wrong person. Yiren was not afraid of danger and was willing to stay alone in Handan. He was not worried about his safety, but wanted to remind himself. Lu Buwei's face gradually became solemn. He said solemnly: "I will definitely do this for the young master this time. If it cannot be done, I am willing to die." Ying Yiren stood at the door and watched Lu Buwei's carriage slowly leave. Ying Yiren stood at the door for a long time before entering the yard.

After calling a retainer, Ying Yiren ordered, "Please buy me a set of Chu clothes." The retainer took the order to leave. As for why he had to wear Chu clothes, because Mrs. Huayang is from Chu, and she usually wears Chu clothes, and often expresses her longing for Chu. Ying Yiren stood in the courtyard and muttered helplessly: "I have to learn the "bird song" of Chu. It's really troublesome..."

At this moment, Xu Li also met King Zhao again.

King Zhao sat in the upper position, with his two Shangqings sitting on the left. Xu Li sat on his right and said solemnly: "This is the story of Zeng's mother throwing away Zhu. Please tell me that Shangjun can distinguish rumors and believe in General Lian Po." King Zhao was silent for a long time. He raised his head, looked at Xu Li in front of him carefully, and said movedly: "I just thought Xu Li could fight, but I didn't expect that I underestimated Li."

Xu Li looked a little embarrassed, but he still remembered Zhao Kuo's orders, and did not say much. He sighed and said, "I said this not to invite me to the Lord. I came for General Lian Po." King Zhao laughed and said, "I know, please rest assured, I will not believe the rumors."

Xu Li then stood up, bowed to King Zhao, and carefully left the palace.

After he left, King Zhao looked at the two people on his left and asked, "This is definitely not something Xu Li can say. Who taught him this?" At this moment, two elders were sitting on his right. Both of them were not too young. One was slender and had a cold face. He sat in a stern face, half-closing his eyes, while the other one was constantly coughing, which made King Zhao feel a little distressed.

"Du Pingjun? Do you have nothing to tell me?" King Zhao couldn't help asking.

Dupingjun called Tian Dan. He was originally a native of Qi. When Qi was almost destroyed, he saved Qi. It can even be said that he built Qi with one hand. But for this reason, he was afraid of the King of Qi and became increasingly intolerable. King Zhao seized the opportunity and exchanged more than fifty cities for Tian Dan, used him as the general of Zhao, and later became the prime minister of Zhao.

Since he was given to King Zhao by King Qi for fifty cities, Tian Dan became more and more taciturn. This Qi people who were both civil and military, who fought to the death to save Qi, was sold for fifty cities. Even if King Zhao respected him, Tian Dan was so cold-hearted. He was still alive, but the savior of Qi who was good at fighting and defeated Le Yi in the past seemed to be dead.

He had a bad relationship with several generals from Zhao State.

Hearing King Zhao's inquiry, Tian Dan said: "I and Xu Li are just friendships that can nod by when they meet on the road, and they don't know what happened to him."

King Zhao sighed helplessly and said, "You can go back and rest." Tian Dan then stood up, bowed to King Zhao, and left the palace. In the palace, only King Zhao and another legendary figure of Zhao State were left. The old man sitting in front of King Zhao coughed from time to time, and his hair was white. This made King Zhao sigh at the power of time. King Zhao respectfully lowered his head, "Mr. Lin, I wonder if you have anything to tell me?"

Sitting in front of King Zhao was Lin Xiangru, a prime minister in Zhao State.

Lin Xiangru raised his head, and his pale face made King Zhao feel very distressed. He said, "Xu Li's determination was rejected by Shangjun. He must have visited Zhao Kuo. This may have been told by Zhao Kuo, or his disciples around him, but Xu Li was not wrong. General Lian Po should not be replaced."

"Although Zhao Kuo is young, he is very famous." said King Zhao.

"If the Shangjun appointed Zhao Kuo only based on his reputation, he would be like sticking the stringed column to death and then playing the zither without any flexibility. Zhao Kuo would only read the books left by his father and not know how to adapt flexibly." Lin Xiangru said.

"What do you think if I use Du Pingjun Tiandan?"

"General Tian Shan is incompatible with many generals, not to mention that he is concerned about Qi. After coming to Zhao, he is as sad as General Lian Po cares about the survival of Zhao. I think he is inappropriate."

"What do you think about it if I want to use Changguojun Le Yi?"

"General Le Yi just surrendered, and the King of Yan hated him very much and wanted to kill him. If Shangjun wanted to use General Le Yi, it would probably arouse the anger of the Yan people. Zhao State would not be able to fight against the Qin people alone. When it was necessary for Yan, Qi, Wei and other countries to help, Shangjun could not use him as a general." Lin Xiangru had just finished speaking, and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth. King Zhao was shocked and hurriedly helped him personally.

He asked the warrior to send Lin Xiangru back to his mansion and repeatedly told him to take good care of himself. King Zhao sat alone in the palace with a lonely expression.

Zhao Wangdan succeeded to the throne at a young age. He always wanted to establish the hegemony of Zhao and make the countries surrender to the powerful power of Zhao. In the first year of his reign, he united with Qi and repelled the Qin people's attack. Since then, he has always been thinking about avenging the Qin people. He has tried his best to win over talents. He feels that as long as Zhao has enough talents, the Qin people will not be the opponent of Zhao. He exchanged fifty cities for Tian Dan.

He saw the opportunity and used a letter from home to let Le Yi surrender.

But why, things are not as I expected, why can the Zhao people not beat the Qin people?
