Handan.

This day is another new discussion on Zhao Guoting.

Except for the two generals, Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo and Wu Xiangjun Lian Po, who led the troops outside, all other important officials of Zhao State gathered together.

The empress dowager's face was calm and said, "Jun Wu Xiang should also fight with Kuang Liang."

Lin Xiangru smiled and said, "Yes, but both sides are gathered together, so it is unlikely to decide the winner in a short period of time."

The atmosphere in the entire hall was relatively relaxed, because Lian Po had a total of 200,000 Zhao troops in his hands, while the Qi and Yan coalition forces on the opposite side were only 200,000.

The 200,000 troops in Zhao State are equivalent to the 300,000 troops in other countries?

From this point of view, Lian Po’s advantage cannot be too great.

Zhou Shao laughed and said, "If this battle can be won, Da Zhao can directly destroy Yan State in one go and achieve unprecedented great achievements!"

Speaking of this, everyone present showed an expression of expectation.

Whether you like Lian Po or not, everyone hopes to destroy Yan State! Pingyuan Jun coughed and said, "After that being said, Wu Xiangjun had been defeated by Qi State Grand Marshal Kuangliang before in Gaotang. This time the two sides met again, it is better not to be careless."

When Mr. Pingyang saw his brother speak, he immediately followed: "Yes, yes, the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated. The Empress Dowager may have to give a decree to make Mr. Wu Xiang be careful."

The Empress Dowager's face suddenly froze.

When Lin Xiangru saw this, he frowned and immediately said lightly: "I don't dare to agree with what the two lords said.

Wu Xiangjun has been a person who has been on the battlefield for decades, so how can he ignore the importance of it?

Moreover, because he had already learned a lesson from Kuang Liang, this time he would inevitably become more cautious. We only need to wait for the news of Wu Xiangjun's victory in Handan, why do we have to make such a fuss?"

Although Lin Xiangru is gentle in nature, he naturally has to fight for his own ally Lian Po when it comes to reason.

The Empress Dowager was a little unhappy when she saw the atmosphere suddenly become intense, and her face began to turn cloudy.

Just as the Empress Dowager was about to finish this court discussion, a sudden burst of rapid footsteps and the eunuch of Zhao State appeared.

"Empress Dowager, Yan State's urgent report!"

After this sentence fell, everyone's eyes immediately locked on the scroll in the hand of the eunuch Ling.

There is no doubt that there must be the latest battle report in this scroll! Lin Xiangru took a deep breath and watched the Queen Mother take a look with anticipation to take it apart.

Zhao State needs this victory, Lin Xiangru and Lian Po need this victory even more! The Empress Dowager also opened the emergency battle report with a smile and started reading.

As he looked, the smile on the queen mother's face suddenly disappeared cleanly.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Empress Dowager's face quickly turned from red to blue, and from blue to white.

With a bang, the Empress Dowager slapped the table in great angrily and said almost with gritted teeth: "This Wu Xiangjun, he actually... lost again!"

At this moment, the ferocity and anger on the Empress Dowager's face could not be concealed! The Empress Dowager's words were like a bombshell that instantly threw them into the hall.

Lin Xiangru's body shook violently and said in a lost voice: "How is this possible?"

Not only Lin Xiangru, but others also changed their faces and storms were stirring up in their hearts.

Even Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun, two who have always been incompatible with Lian Po, must recognize Lian Po's military talents.

In the past twenty years, Lian Po actually often fought with Qi.

As a general of Zhao, Lian Po once defeated the Qi army many times and captured a large area of ​​land in Qi. He was promoted to the General of Zhao and became the number one figure in the Zhao army.

Even though Lian Po failed in the Battle of Gaotang, most people think that it was because of the temporary rebellion between Han and Wei. Lian Po was just a mistake in his allies, not because of insufficient command ability on the battlefield.

In the face of the head-on, with the same force, and this time the Zhao army went on an expedition alone without allies, no one thought that Lian Po would lose.

But Lian Po lost.

After a moment, the Empress Dowager finally woke up from her anger and said to the eunuch: "Come on, give everyone this battle report!"

The eunuch ordered the war report to be a little nervous, and he began to read: "My minister Lian Po reported to the Empress Dowager: I was defeated by Kuang Liang in Jidu, and I had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to retreat to Wuyang.

Kuang Liang is now chasing him. I have only more than 40,000 troops around me. I also ask the Empress Dowager and the Lords to make plans after learning about this. I am willing to accept all punishments!"

After the eunuch ordered the air to be silent.

There are actually many types of failure.

For example, if the siege fails and then retreats, and the enemy does not pursue it, such a small defeat that costs a certain price but does not hurt the bones is a small defeat, which is completely acceptable.

But according to Lian Po, there are only more than 40,000 people left by his side in the 200,000 Zhao army, and the other 160,000 Zhao army were either dead, became prisoners of war or disappeared. This is more than 150,000 war damage.

What is the concept of 200,000 soldiers but more than 150,000 war losses?

This is almost the entire army was wiped out! There is no doubt that this was a crushing defeat, a super crushing defeat! Originally, the king and minister of Zhao thought it would be fine to defeat Qi and destroy Yan after this battle, but then he learned that his army was almost wiped out by the Qi and Yan coalition forces?

This huge gap was instantly transferred from heaven to the eighteenth level of hell! Lin Xiangru was completely stunned.

At this moment, the old minister of Zhao State began to tremble.

Lin Xiangru could not understand why Lian Po was defeated so miserably! Could it be that only Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo can win the battle in the Great Zhao Dynasty?

This shouldn't be the case!! Pingyuan Jun was the first to come back to his senses and said, "Empress Dowager, now is not the time to get angry. The most urgent thing is to find a way to solve this problem.

Otherwise, if even the 40,000 troops around General Lian Po were gone, it would be not only Wuyang City, but also the entire Da Zhao would be in trouble!"

This sentence successfully reminded the Queen Mother, and made the Queen Mother wake up a little and began to think.

Then the empress dowager found that her head was full of anger, and she could not tolerate anything except the idea of ​​cutting Lian Po into pieces.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, looked at Pingyuan Jun in front of her and said, "Pingyuan Jun, what do you think you should do now?"

Pingyuan Jun hurriedly said, "Now that Wu Xiangjun is defeated, there must be someone to support the battle situation of Yan State in the north.

Otherwise, once Wuyang City is captured again, the northeastern border of Dazhao will be opened directly, and the Qi and Yan coalition will be able to take Handan directly along the direction of Zhongshan County in the northeast. At that time, Dazhao will be in danger!"

The Empress Dowager understood what Pingyuan Jun meant: "Do you want Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo to go to Yan State?"
Chapter completed!
