Handan, Yu Xin Mansion.

In the lobby, Yu Xin and Lin Xiangru sat opposite each other with a faint smile on their faces: "Lin Qing, the king has agreed to the Qin people's peace talks. Zhao Kuo will not get any military achievements this time."

The joy in Yu Xin's tone can be heard as long as he is not a deaf person.

Lin Xiangru had a little hesitation on his face. After a while, he sighed lightly: "Is it really a good thing to lose the possible chance of Da Zhao winning this time just to suppress Zhao Kuo?"

Yu Xin was about to answer, but another voice like a bell had already helped him answer: "Even if there is no peace, Zhao Kuo would not have won the victory in such a short time."

General Lian Po of Zhao State strode into the lobby. The sentence just now was exactly what Lian Po said.

Lian Po's arrival made Yu Xin's face more smiles, and he said to Lin Xiangru in front of him: "Lin Qing, even the general said so. This time it is not a one-sided statement to me."

Lin Xiangru ignored Yu Xin and turned his attention to Lian Po: "Why did the general say this?"

Yu Xin’s military misjudgment has not been repeated once or twice, and it is obvious that what Lian Po said is more reliable.

Lian Po said lightly: "Although I was fighting with him in Changping before, that time... this time, I really experienced Bai Qi's strength. With Bai Qi's ability, although Zhao Kuo has more troops at the moment, it is impossible to defeat Bai Qi in less than a month."

Lin Xiangru frowned and said, "So you don't actually have any basis, it's just an intuition?"

This question obviously made Lian Po very unhappy, and even his tone when he spoke increased a lot: "What else does Lin Qing want?

Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly. Not to mention that you and I are far away from Handan hundreds of miles away, even if you really come to the battlefield in person, who can dare to say that you can know every detail of the battlefield and respond in a timely manner?"

Lin Xiangru sighed: "General Lian Po, I don't have any intention of revealing your scars, I just want to understand the situation of the battle more objectively.

If Zhao Kuo really has the hope of winning quickly, then this time from the interests of Zhao, we did something wrong."

Lian Po said firmly: "It is impossible, Zhao Kuo will definitely not defeat Bai Qi in such a short time."

Lin Xiangru said, "But Zhao Kuo only took eleven days to defeat Bai Qi?"

Lian Po said angrily: "But before that, I had fought with the Qin army king for hundreds of days and nights!"

Lin Xiangru was stunned for a moment.

Yu Xin took the opportunity to say, "Lin Qing, it would be fine if you say you don't believe my judgment. If you don't even believe General Lian Po's judgment, it would be too unreasonable, right?"

Lin Xiangru sighed and stopped talking.

Seeing that the situation had overwhelmed Lin Xiangru, Yu Xin felt a little proud and said, "It's these two people. Since Zhao Kuo's expedition this time is destined to be a waste of effort, his prestige in the country will inevitably be shaken.

We just need to work harder on the king's side, and then spread rumors about Zhao Kuo's attempt to usurp power in Handan City and in the country. The king will definitely take Zhao Kuo down soon, and by that time we will be truly at ease!"

It turned out that Yu Xin's plan was not only to prevent Zhao Kuo from getting credit, but to directly end Zhao Kuo's political life! Yu Xin twisted his beard and looked at Lian Po and Lin Xiangru with some pride: "What do you think of my plan?"

Yu Xin hated Zhao Kuo to the core. Zhao Kuo not only slapped Yu Xin in the face one after another, but also greatly threatened Yu Xin's political future. No matter from any perspective, Yu Xin must get rid of Zhao Kuo.

Lian Po was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and agreed with Yu Xin's plan.

Only Lin Xiangru still hesitated: "Zhao Kuo made great contributions to Zhao after all... It's not appropriate for us to treat him like this."

When Yu Xin saw Lin Xiangru's attitude, he suddenly became anxious and said, "Lin Qing, Lin Qing, when is it time for you to think about these things?"

If Zhao Kuo continues like this, when the king completely trusts Zhao Kuo in the future, it will be your and my death! Will Lin Qing really want to watch Zhao Kuo get rid of us one by one?"

Lin Xiangru said slowly: "Zhao Kuo's father, Ma Fujun, Zhao She, was also a straightforward person back then. Although Zhao Kuo acted impulsively, he might not be the kind of villain who could kill him."

Yu Xin paused and said, "Lin Qing, you must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be careful of others.

Besides, even if Zhao Kuo doesn’t harm us, what about Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun?

These two people have been fighting with Lin Qing and the general for decades. Do you think they will let you go after they support Zhao Kuo and gain power completely?

It's impossible."

Yu Xin's words finally made Lin Xiangru shaken, but the famous minister of Zhao State was still hesitating: "After that being said, Zhao Kuo is the number one general of my great Zhao after all. Without Zhao Kuo's words, who will fight against Bai Qi in the future?"

Although it is not a one-man, Zhao Kuo is the only person in the entire Zhao State and even the entire China that has defeated Bai Qi, which is undoubtedly a foregone conclusion.

Lian Po suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "Don't worry about Yu Qing. Although I lost to Bai Qi once, I promised with my life that I will never lose to Bai Qi again in the future!"

The two of them sang together and basically said everything they should say and should not say. Even if Lin Xiangru wanted to say anything, from a political standpoint, there seemed to be no need to protect Zhao Kuo.

Lin Xiangru was silent for a long time, sighed long, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'm also..." Suddenly, a panic-like voice came from outside the door: "Master, Lord, things are not good, big things are not good!"

A close retainer from Yu Xin's mansion staggered into the lobby.

Yu Xin frowned and shouted unhappily: "What's the panic? Didn't you see me discussing the matter?

Get out of here!"

However, this trusted retainer seemed to have not heard Yu Xin's words at all and said the next sentence on his own.

"Master, the news that has just been sent back from the front line of Fuli, Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo... won! He won Bai Qi!"
