Chapter 747: Lord Pingyang slanders, Lian Po rises again
Handan, Zhao State Palace City.
"What, King Qi actually made such a request?"
After listening to the envoy of Qi, the young King Zhao was furious.
If King Pingyang hadn't been trying hard to wink, King Zhao would even want to directly bombard the abominable envoy of Qi in front of him.
After suppressing his temper and sending the Qi envoy, King Zhao said to Pingyang Jun in a very unhappy way: "Pingyang Jun, why did you stop me just now?
This King of Qi is really bullying people too much!"
After all, King Zhao was just a minor boy, and he was the most vigorous and rebellious. At this time, he was suddenly threatened and could not get angry. You can imagine how much annoyed he felt.
Pingyangjun actually had other concerns in his mind.
Does Pingyang Jun understand war?
To be honest, he really doesn't understand.
Although Pingyang Jun has been an important official of Zhao State for so many years, he has never been to the front line in so many battles in Zhao State. He is a real war idiot.
But although King Pingyang did not understand war, he understood politics.
What is politics?
That is to seize every opportunity and create a wave of your own political enemies.
At this moment, isn’t it the best time for Mr. Pingyang to get a wave of Zhao Kuo?
Pingyang Jun was determined to make up his mind, and immediately put on a worried expression and said to King Zhao: "Master, what is worth paying attention to in front of him is not the attitude of King Qi, but the deep meaning inside."
King Zhao was stunned when he heard this and said, "What is the deep meaning here?"
When Mr. Pingyang heard this, he felt relieved.
Sure enough, our king is young and very fooling.
Pingyang Jun hurriedly said, "King, the situation is now. Qi State originally only needs money. Why did the King of Qi suddenly change his mind and want to get more things from our Da Zhao?"
King Zhao thought for a while and said, "Of course this is because King Qi is insatiable."
Pingyang Jun shook his head and said, "No, this is not the case.
Please think, don’t the King of Qi know that our Da Zhao is the most powerful country today?
Of course he knew it.
Not only did he know, but the King of Qi was also captured by our Great Zhao Xiong Army some time ago and became a prisoner of our Great Zhao! Under such circumstances, the King of Qi still dared to send envoys to negotiate conditions in front of our Great Zhao. What does this mean?
This shows that the King of Qi is confident and fearless! Why is the King of Qi a fearless?
I think this matter is likely to occur on Wu Xinjun's battlefield."
King Zhao was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he said, "So, what happened?"
Pingyang Jun spread his hands and said, "I don't know this minister. Now the front-line army is controlled by Wu Xinjun. Who can know the real situation?"
King Zhao said: "But isn't it normal for the battle report that Wu Xinjun just sent to say that everything is normal?"
Pingyang Jun couldn't help laughing: "My king, will Wu Xinjun honestly admit it?
He must find a way to cover it up. As long as he wins in the end, he will report it. Isn’t everything gone by indifferently?
But what if you don’t win in the end?”
King Zhao couldn't speak anymore.
Under the guidance of Pingyang Jun, King Zhao suddenly felt that it was not the same as trusting Wu Xinjun too much and directly handing over the military power to Wu Xinjun.
King Zhao snorted heavily and said, "What are you waiting for? Let Lian Po come to see me!"
Soon, Lian Po walked into the palace hall and respectfully saluted King Zhao: "Old minister Lian Po, have you seen the king!"
Compared with before, Lian Po was still full of white hair and still full of energy.
After all, this is a strong man who can eat a few large bowls of rice and pounds of beef at the age of eighty and fight with his horse and wield his weapons. He is only seventy years old now and is still tough.
King Zhao looked at Lian Po and said calmly: "Liang Po, you should know that Pingyang Jun nominated you as the Grand Sima some time ago."
Lian Po said respectfully: "I have indeed heard of this."
King Zhao said: "What would you do if I asked you to be this Grand Sima?"
Lian Po's body was shocked and he said respectfully: "If the old minister was really lucky enough to become the Grand Marshal, then the old minister would naturally follow the orders of the king from now on. The king asked the old minister to go east and the old ministers to go west, but only to be able to devote themselves to the king until they die!"
King Zhao smiled and felt relieved.
The position of Grand Sima has been temporarily shelved since the last court controversy was fiercely opposed by Zhao Kuo.
This shelving has been put on hold until now.
Now, King Zhao feels that it is time to make a decision.
King Zhao said lightly: "Liang Po, you have indeed made many big mistakes before, and have ruined the lives of many soldiers of Da Zhao.
But I also know that you have made great contributions to the Great Zhao in the past, which is considered to be a demerit! Now, when the Great Zhao conquered the Yan State, Wu Xinjun on the front line seems to have encountered some difficulties.
I want to send someone who really understands the situation on the battlefield to the front line to see what is going on. Can you do it?"
Lian Po said almost without thinking: "Old minister can do it, please rest assured, the king!"
King Zhao nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, then you can go.
Look carefully and tell me everything you see! If this matter is done well, there is a position waiting for you!"
Although King Zhao did not explain clearly what this position was, everyone present understood very well.
The position of Grand Sima! Lian Po's body trembled with excitement.
For this veteran general who is very competitive, being dismissed from office because of his failure is definitely the biggest shame in Lian Po's heart.
Now, Lian Po has the opportunity to be able to regain his post again and the opportunity to charge for Zhao State. How could the veteran general not be excited?
Lian Po respectfully bowed to King Zhao: "My memory, accept the order!"
A moment later, Lian Po's carriage left the palace city.
After leaving the palace city, Lian Po's carriage did not go home immediately, but waited for a while outside the palace city.
Then, another carriage came, it was Pingyangjun's carriage.
The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Once upon a time, Lian Po and Ping Yangjun were giants of two major factions, and they were hostile to each other and fought against each other for decades.
Now, after a chance, the two of them actually started to join forces! Pingyang Jun said lightly: "General Lian Po, you should know what to do, right?"
Lian Po smiled slightly and bowed to Pingyang Jun very respectfully: "Thank you for your great kindness and virtue. I will definitely obey Pingyang Jun's orders this time so that the king can see the real inside story of Zhao Kuo, this guy, who is golden and jade, is weak and shredded!"
Pingyangjun looked at Lian Po, who was respectful in front of him, and laughed proudly.
Zhao Kuo, of course I know that you can win the war.
But what you never expected was that even if you destroy Yan State, the king would not have a better impression of you, but would have worsened!
