On September 29, Handan, the capital of Zhao State, the royal palace.

After signing the cooperation agreement between Liaodi and Zhao State, Zhao Wangdan hosted a banquet in the palace for representatives of both sides participating in the negotiations.

At this moment, an attendant hurriedly came in and said to King Zhao: "Your Majesty, the front-line commander has an urgent military situation to report. ”

Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai looked at each other, stood up, and prepared to ask Zhao Dan for his resignation.

Zhao Dan waved his hand and said to Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai: "The two gentlemen are not outsiders, you all sit and listen together." ”

Then, he said to the officer, "Reprimand the military captain to meet you." ”

The captain of the reprimanding army entered the hall and knelt down on one knee and reported to Zhao Wangyu: "Your Majesty, General Lian Po has sent subordinates from the front line to report to our Wang Yu that the Leather Prison Pass has been lost, and please make all preparations as soon as possible." ”

After listening to the words of this captain, the hearts of everyone present sank.

After this lieutenant left, Zhao Dan frowned, and then said to Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai:

"Two gentlemen, you Liaodi, what suggestions do you have for this time when the Qin State invades my Zhao State?"

Lu Zhonglian and Su Dai looked at each other again and nodded to each other.

This problem, when the two came to Handan, Ji Kang also discussed it with everyone, and the two had already prepared.

Lu Zhonglian stood up and said to King Zhao: "King, I can't hide it, my lord and I have also discussed the upcoming war between Zhao and Qin this time. In this regard, after discussing with us, our lord does have a few suggestions for the king's reference. ”

When Zhao Dan and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and Shangqing Yu Xin heard this, their eyes lit up.

Needless to say, although he is young, he is already the same as Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, and is known as one of the "four princes of the world".

Several important ministers of Liaodi are also well-known in this era, and their suggestions must be extraordinary.

Zhao Dan hurriedly said to Lu Zhonglian: "Sir, please take a seat, you don't have to be so polite." Sir, please take your Liaodi's suggestion and slowly talk about it, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Lu Zhonglian nodded, sat down again, and said to Zhao Wangdan and the others:

"My lord, I beg your pardon. My lord once said that after the Battle of Changping, there were no elite soldiers in your country, especially the destruction of the most elite cavalry corps in your country, which made your country lose the ability to conduct large-scale mobile field battles. ”

"This time the Qin army is attacking on a large scale, your country cannot and should not confront the Qin army head-on, but should adopt an active defensive strategy, this is one of them."

"Second, your country should adopt our Liaodi, and the strategy when dealing with the three kingdoms when they invaded our Liaodi was to clear the wilderness, destroy the water source, and take away the grain, and not let the Qin army have any grain, grass, and water supply in your country."

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and Shangqing Yu Xin, hearing this, looked at each other, and both took a breath of cool air, this strategy is so hateful!

Lu Zhonglian didn't see the expressions of Zhao Sheng and Yu Qing, and continued to talk to Zhao Wangdan:

"Your Majesty, the Qin army is menacing this time, with the aim of destroying your country. Your country must mobilize the whole people, concentrate all its forces, and defend the capital Handan, and not let Handan fail, this is the third thing. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Zhonglian swept his gaze, and the three monarchs and ministers of Zhao State said: "My lord, my lord once said: If Handan exists, your country will exist; If Handan dies, your country will die. ”

The above three points are the three suggestions that our Lord and we personally summarized when we analyzed this war. Please let the king consider it for himself and give him a clear understanding. ”

Zhao Wangdan, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, and Shangqing Yu Xin all lit up after listening to Lu Zhonglian's words.

If you think about it carefully, the three suggestions that Liaodi gave to Zhao Guo are very insightful!

At this time, Su Dai added on the side:

"My lord, in addition to the three points that Lord Lu just said, my lord also said that war is the continuation of a country's politics and is a matter of life and death for a country. To consider the country, all internal and external factors. ”

"At this time, your country should not only mobilize the whole people internally, but also make full use of it externally. The minister heard that some time ago, Lord Yu Qing visited Wei and had signed an alliance with Wei, and this time he could send someone to Wei and let Wei send troops to help according to the provisions of the covenant. ”

"There is also the state of Chu, which has been repeatedly defeated by Qin, invaded a large area of territory against Qin, and hated Qin to the core. Your country should also send an envoy to the state of Chu and ask it to send troops to attack Qin. ”

After Zhao Wangdan and the others listened to Su Dai's words, they all nodded again.

In mid-October, Handan, the capital of Zhao, the royal palace.

Ji Kang's uncle, Zhao Wangdan, was so angry that his whole body trembled after reading the letter sent by Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains.

slapped the table in front of him, gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuanjun, if this letter is true, what is said is true. Then this Lou Chang is simply damned! Thousands of corpses are broken, and they don't understand the hatred in the hearts of widows! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Dan asked Zhao Sheng again: "Pingyuanjun, where did this letter come from?" ”

Zhao Sheng looked at the young king, his already distorted face, and knew that Zhao Dan already hated it in his heart!

Hurriedly bowed down and said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, someone put this letter at the door of my house, and the minister doesn't know who did it?" ”

"Now that my Zhao Kingdom has reached the point of life and death, there must be no more problems. In particular, the problem mentioned in this letter is very serious, and the layout and strategy of our army during the Battle of Changping, Lou Chang actually revealed it to the Qin State. ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is very simple. We can't wronged Lou Chang, but we must not allow the existence of internal traitors. The people mentioned on this letter are all customers of the building. My king can send someone to arrest them, and just ask. ”

After listening to Pingyuan Jun's words, Zhao Dan nodded and said, "The widow ordered you, go down and deal with this matter immediately." After asking clearly, immediately come to report to the king. ”

Zhao Sheng shook his robe, hugged his fist at King Zhao and bowed, "No." ”

In the evening, Zhao Sheng had already figured out everything, and immediately reported to King Zhao.

"King, these guests have all admitted that it was indeed Lou Chang who gave the Battle of Changping, the deployment and strategic layout of our army, to King Yingji of Qin through his father Lou Yan, resulting in the annihilation of our army."

"Not only that, but now Lou Chang has sent my military layout of Handan to the Qin State. Your Majesty, this Lou Chang is damned! This is described by several doormen under Louchang, please look at the king. ”

Zhao Sheng said that, and handed a few pieces of silk silk to Zhao Wangdan with both hands.

Zhao Wangdan trembled all over, took the silk silk in Zhao Sheng's hand, and looked at it carefully.

Then, closing his eyes, a line of tears rolled down.

After a while, Zhao Dan opened his eyes and said word by word to Zhao Sheng, full of hatred:

"Pingyuan-kun, take the edict. Behead Lou Chang's entire family, leave no old and young, and exterminate his three clans. ”

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, hurriedly bowed down and said, "Minister Zhao Sheng, obey my king's edict." ”

On the evening of October 15, Lou Chang, the eldest husband of Zhao, was ordered by King Zhao to behead all over the house and exterminate his three clans.

In this way, Zhao Dan still does not understand his hatred.

ordered a thorough investigation of all the people who were good friends with Lou Chang, and as expected, several ministers who were secretly in the same style as Qin were found to be killed by Zhao Wangdan.

Zhao Wangdan was very unhappy because of Lou Chang's collaboration with the enemy.

Yan Xiangsu was also very unhappy because of Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, who took over Zhongyang County from Zhao State.

Originally, according to the plan of Su Belly, it was to wait for the Qin army to attack Handan. He will personally lead the Yan army south, and join the Qin army to attack Zhao in the north and south, and seize Zhongyang County from Zhao.

But Ji Kang did this, so that Su Belly's plan was completely ruined, and the Yan army stationed on the border of Yan and Zhao was also ordered by Ji Kang's father, the crown prince Ji Yun, and most of them withdrew to China.

Even a small number of Yan troops stationed on the border of Yan and Zhao are also ordered by the crown prince Ji Yun that they must be restrained by the Liao army, and they must not provoke Zhao without reason and provoke friction between Yan and Zhao.

When I returned to the house, I sighed in the study.

It is believed that Yan Guo has lost an opportunity to carve up Zhao State by doing this.

is extremely dissatisfied with the father-son approach of Prince Ji Yun and Liaocheng Jun Ji Kang, but they can't explain it clearly.

He also scolded Su Yuan, the eldest son who came to ask him for peace, and scolded him for a reason, and let out the evil anger in his heart.

And Su Yuan, who was scolded by his father into a habit, was speechless and asked the sky!

Said to his sister Su Ya: "Sister! This Liaochengjun is simply my nemesis! As long as he does something, I will be scolded by my father, you say, am I unlucky? ”

Su Ya didn't know what to say, so she could only say to her brother Su Yuan: "What Liaocheng Jun did in Liaodi has been called one of the "Four Princes" by the people of the world. His prestige is very high in the hearts of the people of my Yan country. ”

"My father's prejudice against Liaochengjun is too deep, and if it goes on like this for a long time, it will not be good for my father's future and my Su family."

After listening to his sister's words, Su Yuan frowned slightly and nodded.
