Chapter 840: The Failure of Lord Pingyang

Before this, Pingyang Jun had imagined this incident many times and had many results.

But no matter which time it was imagined, there was absolutely no such result of surrendering military power more than very pleasantly.

In Pingyangjun's opinion, Zhao Kuo has always been well-known for his desire for power. It is rare to be able to control the military power of Handan City, so Zhao Kuo will definitely not give up.

Even if Zhao Kuo really gave up military power in the end, he would definitely feel dissatisfied with King Zhao and demonstrated this dissatisfaction.

By that time, Pingyang Jun could use this situation to continue persuading King Zhao, so that King Zhao would eventually kill Zhao Kuo.

But now things have completely exceeded Pingyang Jun's expectations.

Zhao Kuo did not hesitate, embarrass or anger at all. After hearing the words of King Zhao, he chose to hand over the military power in Handan very happily.

Is this still Zhao Kuo in the impression of Pingyang Jun?

Even King Zhao’s ideas are actually quite different.

King Zhao looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise and said, "Are you sure Wu Xinjun?"

Although I had just heard Zhao Kuo's answer clearly, King Zhao still felt a not very real feeling in his heart.

King Zhao clearly thought about it and hesitated for so long, thinking that this should be a very difficult matter.

But for Zhao Kuo, it seemed like it was just a trivial matter.

Zhao Kuo looked at King Zhao's expression and couldn't help but smile.

This king is obviously too young, not dark-hearted enough, nor thick-skinned enough.

Zhao Kuo said to King Zhao: "Master, I am very sure.

Since it is the king's order, I will definitely abide by it."

Zhao Kuo was very happy at this moment. Although Pingyang Jun had been plotting for so long, wasn’t I in the end?

Although in a strict sense, losing General Handan was indeed some of Zhao Kuo's losses.

However, if this loss can be exchanged for the complete failure of Pingyang Jun's plan, Zhao Kuo will still make more profits no matter how he looks at it.

After all, as long as Pingyang Jun’s plan fails, the counterattack including the time to begin.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Pingyang Jun was completely stunned.

The whole thing was completely beyond Pingyang Jun's expectations here, which made Pingyang Jun a little at a loss for a moment.

King Zhao was silent for a while, and his heart was in a state of uproar.

At this moment, King Zhao just wanted to say, who said Wu Xinjun's loyalty was not enough?

The military power in Handan was handed over so happily. Can this still be said to be insufficient loyalty?

When he thought of this, King Zhao couldn't help but smile.

"It's very good that Wu Xinjun, I know that you are indeed a loyal minister of Zhao!"

The moment when this sentence came out of King Zhao's mouth, Pingyang Jun's mood sank.

King Zhao actually said this in front of Pingyang Jun, which means that Pingyang Jun’s plan has completely failed.

At this moment, Mr. Pingyang just wanted to shout loudly in his heart. What was the situation?

Zhao Kuo directly let go of the military power in Handan. Could it be that he just wanted to fight for a sigh of relief?

At this moment, Zhao Kuo said sincerely: "Please rest assured, I have always been loyal to Zhao State, and this will never change.

If the king heard some rumors from somewhere that my loyalty was wrong, then I could say with certainty that this was definitely a slander out of nothing.”

For Zhao Kuo, since such a price has been paid, it is of course time to start a counterattack against the Pingyang Army.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, King Zhao immediately subconsciously glanced at Pingyang Jun.

Although King Zhao didn't say anything, the amount of information contained in this look was already very large.

King Zhao said to Pingyang Jun lightly: "Where is Pingyang Jun? I believe that Wu Xinjun is indeed loyal to our Zhao State. What do you think?"

When talking, King Zhao's tone was obviously a bit blame-like.

In the eyes of King Zhao, this time it was obvious that King Pingyang judged the gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Of course, it was impossible for Mr. Pingyang to hear the meaning in King Zhao's tone, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Now he was shooting himself in the foot. It was obviously an excellent opportunity to target Zhao Kuo, but he never expected that Zhao Kuo would be able to resolve it so easily.

Zhao Kuo even turned the blame, but now he has turned Pingyang Jun into the person who has endured the anger of King Zhao.

Pingyang Jun smiled bitterly and said dryly: "What the king said is so, and the old minister thinks so too. Wu Xinjun has always been very loyal, and there is no doubt about this."

Pingyang Jun almost squeezed out this sentence from the cracks of his teeth.

For Pingyang Jun, saying this is like giving up on the loss.

However, in this current situation, Pingyang Jun could not continue to be stubborn, otherwise if he angered King Zhao, it would be completely contrary to his wishes.

Pingyang Jun was so angry that he felt so angry. How could things develop like this?

The dregs were smiling, and he didn't say anything when he looked at this scene, and just quietly enjoyed the feeling of the winner.

To be honest, this strategy is actually far more sinister than what is presented now.

If King Zhao really proposed to seize power without any mental preparation, then Zhao Kuo's performance would definitely not be so calm, and King Zhao's impression of Zhao Kuo would not be so good.

I have to say that sometimes having one's own intelligence channel in the enemy's camp is definitely the only way to win.

This is why Sun Tzu's Art of War will use a whole article to explain the importance of spies.

King Zhao looked at Pingyang Jun and felt a little unhappy.

In the eyes of King Zhao, Pingyang Jun is simply a false accusation today.

However, King Zhao was also very clear. It was impossible to say that just because of such a thing, it would be too ugly to refute Pingyang Jun's face.

After all, nowadays, Pingyang Jun’s power is no longer as powerful as Zhao Kuo. Even for balance, he has to maintain Pingyang Jun’s face.

So King Zhao waved his hand coldly and said, "Okay, okay, since this matter has been resolved, let's stop here today. You both go back and rest, and work together for me and Da Zhao in the future."

After King Zhao finished speaking, King Pingyang knew that he had failed completely today, so he could only bow to King Zhao very despair and then leave the hall.

Walking on the steps outside the hall gate, Pingyang Jun's steps were very heavy. He couldn't figure out what was wrong with this plan today?
