Zhao State Palace City, the main hall.

The Empress Dowager walked into the hall, following King Zhao behind her.

Everyone is familiar with this. The empress dowager seems to want to let King Zhao see more political affairs during this period, and almost every court meeting will allow King Zhao to listen.

King Zhao is also very well-behaved and never expresses any opinions. He just acts as a puppet.

The king and his subjects met with each other and then sat down.

The Empress Dowager looked a little angry and said, "Your Highness, this Hun is so brave that he actually dares to invade the border county of Dazhao. What do you think?"

For the Empress Dowager, the invasion of the Huns was undoubtedly a naked slap in the face and contempt.

Let Yan and Yiqiu, and Qin and other weak countries will not fight, but come to fight Zhao?

It's tolerant, but who can't bear it?

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao State, immediately spoke: "Empress Dowager, the old minister thinks that we must send troops immediately to let the Huns know the power of our Great Zhao!"

Lin Xiangru also said: "The Empress Dowager, the old minister believes that the Huns' ambitions must be eliminated to serve as a warning to others!"

Zhao Kuo coughed and said, "Empress Dowager, I think the Huns must be beaten once.

Otherwise, if the Huns went south again when the Great Zhao conquers the Central Plains in the future, it will be a big and small trouble for the Great Zhao."

In the matter of starting the war, the important officials of Zhao State reached an astonishing agreement.

As the world's largest country, Zhao's expansionism and external offensiveness over the years were the strongest among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period.

It would be better if Zhao State didn’t go to beat others, but now someone else is hit by him. Who can resist this?

The queen mother nodded, obviously very satisfied with the statements of the important officials, so she said, "So, who will be the chief general?"

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, Lin Xiangru couldn't wait to speak: "Empress Dowager, I recommend a candidate. This person has made outstanding achievements. He will definitely help Zhao defeat the Huns and also have peace in the north of Zhao!"

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, Zhao Kuo thought to himself - it was indeed here.

Next, I guess I will recommend Lecheng?

Zhao Kuo subconsciously glanced at Pang Yan, and Pang Yan nodded slightly to express his understanding.

As long as Lin Xiangru finished speaking, Zhao Kuo and Pang Qin would immediately speak out to stop Le Cheng's appointment.

Although I don’t know what Pingyuan Jun’s attitude is, Zhao Kuo feels that since Pingyuan Jun showed kindness to him not long ago, there is still a very high possibility of supporting him.

It doesn't matter if you don't support it. At most, Le Cheng will make more military achievements, but from Zhao Kuo's perspective, of course, I still hope that Li Mu will be the best.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have the same idea as Zhao Kuo, thinking that Lin Xiangru could recommend Le Cheng, so she took a look at Le Cheng first and said, "I don't know who the master recommended by Wen Xinjun?"

Lin Xiangru smiled slightly and said, "This person is naturally Wu Xinjun.

Wu Xinjun is recognized as the number one general in the world. With him taking action, the Huns will definitely have nowhere to hide, and the defeat is a foregone conclusion."

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, a sudden burst of surprise in the hall.

Zhao Kuo was choked, coughed violently, and looked at Lin Xiangru with disbelief.

This old guy actually recommends this marquis?

Is this a change?

Zhao Kuo immediately came to his senses - no, big one is wrong.

Although there was no personal grudge between Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo, they were both leaders of different factions and were veritable political enemies.

If Zhao Kuo really felt that Lin Xiangru, a political enemy, would give him benefits, then Zhao Kuo's brain would be kicked by a donkey.

So Zhao Kuo immediately said without hesitation: "Empress Dowager, I have been leading the troops outside for half a year this year. I am really exhausted and unable to fight. I also asked the Empress Dowager to appoint a general separately.

I recommend Li Mu, the general under me, to fight, and will surely defeat the Huns and give the Empress Dowager a good news!"

Zhao Kuo’s idea is also very simple. No matter what Lin Xiangru wants to do, I will never follow your method.

After Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo said that, the faces of the people in the hall suddenly became strange.

What happened today? Lin Xiangru actually recommended Zhao Kuo for the first time, and then Zhao Kuo refused without thinking?

The Empress Dowager also did not expect such a situation. She looked back and forth on Lin Xiangru and Zhao Kuo several times before saying, "You two should tell us their own reasons."

Zhao Kuo thought that this time, Lin Xiangru could never be allowed to compete for the first place, so he immediately said: "When I returned to the Empress Dowager, Li Mu, the general of my minister, had served in Gaoquesai for many years and had rich experience in how to fight against the Huns.

As long as the Queen Mother is willing to give Li Mu a chance, I can guarantee that Li Mu will not disappoint the Queen Mother!”

The Empress Dowager ignored her and looked at Lin Xiangru: "Wen Xinjun, what is your reason?"

Lin Xiangru laughed and said seriously: "Didn't the old minister just say the reason?

Wu Xinjun, the world's number one general, was naturally easy to take.

However, the old minister also had another opinion.

What Wu Xinjun just said is very reasonable, that is, if the Huns suddenly move south when the Great Zhao conquers the Central Plains in the future, it will be a big trouble for the Great Zhao.

Therefore, the old minister suggested that Wu Xinjun should govern the military affairs of the northern counties and directly command the border cavalry corps. It is necessary to completely wipe out the Huns and then go to the stage!"

After Lin Xiangru said that, the Empress Dowager became more and more disbelief, and even began to doubt whether Lin Xiangru had reached any agreement with Zhao Kuo in secret.

It would be fine if Zhao Kuo went to war, but why did he hand over the military affairs of the northern counties and the entire border cavalry corps to Zhao Kuo?

The empress dowager gradually became angry and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

At this moment, the Grand Sima Lecheng of Zhao State suddenly spoke: "Empress Dowager, I think Wen Xinjun's suggestions are really exquisite, I fully agree!"

The Queen Mother was stunned again.

Le Cheng also agrees with this proposal?

You should know that Le Cheng can be said to be the one who hates Zhao Kuo the most among everyone present. How could he agree to the decision to let Zhao Kuo have great power?

The Queen Mother blinked and suddenly came to her senses.

No, there must be something here that has not been noticed by the Queen Mother.

Just as the empress dowager began to think, Zhao Kuo also narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

This Lin Xiangru actually came up with such a sinister plan?

Lin Xiangru's words just now sounded like nothing wrong, but the key is actually in the last half of the sentence.

"It is necessary to completely wipe out the Huns and then go to the stage!"

Note that it is to wipe out the Huns, not to wipe out the Huns' army.

This means that unless Zhao Kuo can destroy all the Hun tribes on the grassland, it cannot be considered as the extermination of the Huns.

In other words, Lin Xiangru wanted to keep Zhao Kuo on the northern border of Zhao State and never return to Handan.

Zhao Kuo sneered slightly in his heart. This Lin Xiangru actually wanted to be exiled to this marquis?
