Faced with Pingyang Jun's doubts, Zhao Kuo had no expression on his face, and he even wanted to laugh.

Zhao Kuo said to Pingyang Jun very calmly: "Pingyang Jun, you may have forgotten that I have not always led the army to fight over the years.

Some people have actually been sharing opportunities with me about leading troops, but when they lead troops to fight, they can only make Da Zhao lose his troops and lose his generals.

Both Lian Po and Le Cheng are like this.

Especially Lian Po, this person directly caused Da Zhao to lose more than 300,000 to nearly 400,000 troops. Do you know what the concept of so many troops is?

During the Battle of Changping, the whole country recruited only so many troops.

What do you think is the reason why Da Zhao was able to maintain his overlord status after Lian Po lost so many times?

I'm not humbly saying this at all, because I'm still here, I can still win battles for Da Zhao, do you know?"

Zhao Kuo's words made Pingyang Jun blush and he had nothing to say for a moment.

If other things are fine, Pingyang Jun can argue with Zhao Kuo a few more words.

But the record is indeed real, and everyone sees it, and there is no way to touch the dark.

Zhao Kuo looked at Pingyang Jun who had nothing to say and continued to speak: "The things are that simple now. I just don't want Lian Po to come to the stage again.

Because once he comes to power and leads his troops again, what should Da Zhao do if he loses more than 100,000 or even more troops?

He had lost so many times before, but now he is getting older, won’t he lose faster?

So, I definitely object to it.”

The hall fell into silence for a moment.

Pingyangjun's face turned blue and white, and he couldn't speak.

In fact, when he wanted to nominate Lian Po, Pingyang Jun had expected that Zhao Kuo would object, but what Pingyang Jun did not expect was that Zhao Kuo's words were so sharp that even Pingyang Jun could not refute it.

what to do?

Before Pingyang Jun could come up with a solution, King Zhao had already spoken.

King Zhao said, "It seems that your opinions on this Grand Sima are still not unified enough. If this is the case, we will continue to delay this appointment a little.

When will we have a more suitable candidate and continue to discuss it?”

For King Zhao, although King Zhao did not object to Zhao Kuo to become the top leader of the Zhao military today, King Zhao certainly did not want to see Zhao Kuo directly cover up the sky in the Zhao military and control all the troops.

Therefore, King Zhao was also very clear in his heart that the candidate Li Mu proposed by Zhao Kuo might be more appropriate, but King Zhao could not appoint Li Mu as the Grand Sima.

As a king, you must have the most basic checks and balances.

As the second-ranking figure of the Zhao military, Grand Sima should be the most appropriate person who can do the job to check and balance Zhao Kuo.

Originally, King Zhao thought that Lian Po, proposed by King Pingyang, might be a better candidate, but after listening to Zhao Kuo's words, King Zhao also changed his mind.

Because King Zhao's opinion, Lian Po, who lost so many soldiers and horses, would indeed feel very unstable if he led his troops again.

Under such circumstances, King Zhao simply chose to shelve the discussion again.

Anyway, Zhao State would not start the war immediately at this time, so there is no need to be too anxious about this matter.

After King Zhao made this decision, the court discussion naturally ended in disagreement.

Pingyang Jun returned to his mansion angrily. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He couldn't help but slap the table in front of him and cursed: "This damn Zhao Kuo, you really know how to argue!"

Pingyang Jun was so angry at this time.

The reason why Pingyang Jun suddenly proposed Lian Po was actually because Pingyang Jun had an idea a few days ago.

Although there were some generals under the command of Pingyang Jun at that time, those military generals were not qualified to serve as the Grand Marshal.

So Pingyang Jun thought about it over and over again, and then, with the reminder of a confidant servant, chose to extend an olive branch to Lian Po.

On the other hand, Lian Po has indeed always wanted to return to the position of an important official in Zhao State.

Originally, Lian Po thought that he had no chance after Lin Xiangru fell, but he never expected that Pingyang Jun would still stand up and give Lian Po a chance at this time.

Therefore, Lian Po agreed immediately and stated that as long as he could serve as the Grand Sima, he would definitely maintain a stewardship towards Pingyang Jun in the future.

It was in this situation that Pingyang Jun suddenly proposed to use Lian Po as the Grand Marshal of Zhao during the court discussion, hoping to take the opportunity to give Zhao Kuo a severe "surprise".

However, what Pingyang Jun never expected was that Zhao Kuo's reaction was so timely that not only refuted Pingyang Jun fiercely, but also made Lian Po, the candidate, completely failed.

You should know that Pingyang Jun is the prime minister of Zhao State and the number one among the ministers of Zhao State. Now his own nominee has been rejected in public.

If this incident was spread, it would also be quite obvious to Pingyang's prestige.

After thinking about it, Pingyang Jun immediately found his confidant housekeeper and said viciously: "You go and invite Zhou Shaofen and Zhou Qing immediately, and I will say that this marquis will hold a banquet in the mansion today to invite him to drink!"

Pingyang Jun had no choice but to think that at this time he had to unite with Zhou Shaofen, so that he could suppress Zhao Kuo.

However, after a while, Pingyang Jun's confidant manager came back with a look of grim expression: "Master, I have already submitted my visit to Zhou Qing, but I have just heard of something. Zhou Qing had just answered the invitation of Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, and now he has been at the banquet in Wu Xinjun's mansion."

When Pingyang Jun heard this, he suddenly lost his composure and couldn't help but curse: "How come he is so quick, this damn Zhao Kuo?"

Of course, Zhao Kuo's actions were very fast. After all, this banquet was already set with Zhou Shaofen on the night before.

The two of them sat in the lobby and had a very happy mood and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Outside, Xu Li personally guarded the situation and did not allow anyone to come in to interfere with the conversation between the two adults.

Zhao Kuo raised his wine and smiled at Zhou Shao and said, "Come on, Zhou Qing, for our friendship, we have this drink!"

Zhou Shao Fenyan also raised his wine glass with a smile and said to Zhao Kuo: "Wu Xinjun, although I am in your mansion today, I still have to borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Thank you Wu Xinjun for your support to me over the years!"

Although Zhou Shaofen is now a Sikoo of Zhao State and is on an equal footing with Zhao Kuo in terms of official terms, he is obviously very smart and has always maintained an extremely humble attitude in front of Zhao Kuo.

This is invisibly telling Zhao Kuo that I, Zhou Shaofen, have never forgotten my roots! Zhao Kuo was naturally very happy to see Zhou Shaofen's attitude.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing is not a rebellious guy like Le Cheng after all.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Kuo put down his glass and smiled at Zhou Shao: "Okay, Zhou Qing, now let's discuss how to face this Pingyang Jun."
