After a brief silence, Yu Xin was the first to shout: "This is impossible!"

That's Bai Qi. Even if he can't defeat Zhao Kuo, how could he fail so quickly?

However, the manager's next words turned Yu Xin's hope into pieces: "Master, this is the news our people have just received from the palace. If nothing unexpected happens, the king will probably summon the Lord to the palace to discuss matters soon."

This sentence gave Yu Xin a heavy blow, and the Shangqing of Zhao almost turned his back on him.

Lian Po's voice sounded: "Since the detailed military information has arrived in the palace, do you know the specific damage to the war?"

The manager showed a strange expression on his face: "Go back to the general, our army's combat losses... are zero."

With a bang, Lian Po was too excited and bumped into the table when he stood up.

"This is impossible!!"

Lian Po stared at the manager in front of him and shouted with a little disobedient: "How could it be zero war loss?"

It is actually not surprising that Zhao Kuo can defeat Bai Qi, so if Zhao Kuo goes further and defeats Bai Qi in a short period of time, it is a bit unexpected but still acceptable.

However, if Zhao Kuo defeated Bai Qi with zero battle loss... Yu Xin also roared: "It's simply nonsense. Could it be that Zhao Kuo is the heavenly soldiers and generals?"

Lian Po nodded very hard: "That's right, it's absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen!"

Looking at the two allies who were already overly excited, Lin Xiangru sighed and said to the manager: "Tell me, what's going on?"

The manager said helplessly: "Returning to Lin Qing, judging from the situation on the front line, General Zhao Kuo suddenly led his army northward, and then Bai Qi retreated directly to Yiyang and gave all the land east of Yiyang to the coalition forces led by Zhao Kuo."

There was silence in the lobby.

Yu Xin widened his eyes and muttered to himself in disbelief: "Just sending troops a little, Bai Qi was so scared that he retreated hundreds of miles?"

Yu Xin felt that this was completely beyond the common sense of war in his impression.

How could such a thing happen in this world?

Could Bai Qi be a fool?

Looking at Yu Xin in chaos, Lin Xiangru shook his head and turned to look at Lian Po: "General, what do you say now?"

Lian Po opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

Not long ago, Lian Po said with confidence that Zhao Kuo would never defeat Bai Qi, but now... the slap came too quickly, too loudly, too painful! Lian Po said in a depressed manner: "I have nothing to say."

Yes, there is nothing to say.

Zhao Kuo did what Lian Po thought was not possible.

Zhao Kuo defeated Lian Po’s unbeaten opponent, and it was twice in a row! In the face of such a fact, what can Lian Po say?

There was a very ugly silence in the lobby.

Lin Xiangru sighed and said quietly: "I didn't expect my words to come true.

Since Zhao Kuo can force Bai Qi to retreat, if we do not insist on peace talks but let Zhao Kuo continue to march, this time it will probably cause greater losses to Qin and win back more things for the Great Zhao, right?"

Yu Xin and Lian Po bowed their heads at the same time.

Faced with Lin Xiangru's question, they could not answer.

The envoy of King Zhao arrived in time, breaking the ugly embarrassment of the Discipline Inspection Commission: "Yu Qing, the king has his own will, summon you to the palace immediately! Lin Qing and the general are here too?

Then please join us in the palace.”

Half an hour later, the main hall of the Handan Palace City of Zhao State.

King Zhao's face was very strange, and he looked at Yu Xin in front of him: "Yu Qing, you said before that Zhao Kuo would definitely not win, and he might even be defeated by Bai Qi, so I listened to you and negotiated peace with Qin. Now in this situation... how do you explain to me?"

Yu Xin's face looked like earth, and he knelt down with a pounce: "Master, it's my fault. Please punish me!"

On the other hand, Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun watched coldly, with unconcealed ridicule on their faces.

You should know that when discussing whether to negotiate peace with Qin, Yu Xin made a big splash. Not only did he demote Zhao Kuo, but he also put a hat that was unknown to the heads of these two monarchs.

Now looking at Yu Xin's appearance, these two lords only want to say three words - it feels comfortable.

Pingyuan Jun coughed and spoke at the right time: "Yu Qing, Yu Qing, you and I are old colleagues, and I don't want to say more about you.

But this time, do you know what Da Zhao lost because of the peace talks you led?

It's very likely that it's a whole Hedong County!"

As soon as Pingyuan Jun's words fell, Yu Xin's body was shocked and he complained in his heart.

Pingyuan Jun wants Yu Xin to die.

Sure enough, after hearing this, King Zhao's face suddenly became more and more gloomy.

It is true that King Zhao really wanted to control Zhao Kuo, and was indeed afraid of Zhao Kuo, but it was not yet at the point where Zhao Kuo could not be used at all.

Moreover, as a monarch, King Zhao was very happy to see any act of expanding territory.

Finally, Hedong County is the base camp of Jin State and from a historical perspective, it is also the birthplace of Zhao State. This place is not only very rich, but also a great bonus to Zhao State's political and international prestige after winning Hedong.

But all of this was gone because of Yu Xin's words.

King Zhao said coldly: "Yu Qing, Yu Qing, it seems that you have not learned your lesson."

Yu Xin was already frightened and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Lin Xiangru looked at the situation in front of him and sighed in his heart.

Although Lin Xiangru also felt that Yu Xin was stupid in this matter, Yu Xin was Lin Xiangru's ally after all, and Lin Xiangru could not just sit by and watch Yu Xin suffer.

Lin Xiangru stood up and said to King Zhao: "Master, the old minister has something to say."

King Zhao still respected Lin Xiangru, the elder of the two dynasties: "Lin Qing, but it's okay."

Lin Xiangru said in a deep voice: "Master, the old minister also thinks that Yu Qing has made a mistake in this matter, but please think about it. Yu Qing's starting point is also for our Da Zhao.

Who dares to say that his plan is 100% correct when making suggestions?

If Yu Qing punishes him for making mistakes in making plans, will anyone dare to offer advice to the king in the future?

Please think twice.”

Lian Po also stood up and said to King Zhao: "Big King, the old minister will also reconsider it.

After all, Yu Qing is offering advice to the country. Although he is wrong, he is understandable."

Seeing that Lin Xiangru and Lian Po were both pleaded for Yu Xin, King Zhao was a little shaken again.

To be honest, if you want to choose the person you trust most among the ministers present, you can only be Yu Xin.

If it weren't for trusting Yu Xin, King Zhao wouldn't have listened to Yu Xin so many times.

So from the point of view of the original intention, King Zhao really doesn't want to punish Yu Xin very much.

After a moment of hesitation, King Zhao had an idea and said, "Yu Xin, Yu Xin, although you made a mistake this time, it is indeed as understandable as Lin Qing and the General said, so I am..." Before King Zhao finished speaking, a loud report suddenly came into the hall.
