In the days that followed, a flurry of good news followed.

Le Jian really didn't brag, after leaving Handan, he led a few people to the front line day and night, and successfully enveloped the captured middle and senior generals and officers of the Yan State with a clever tongue and a lot of promises of promotion and wealth.

These generals and officers who led the troops were entrapped, and in fact, the 100,000 Yan troops were enveloped.

As a result, except for a very small number of diehards, most of the 100,000 Yan troops have changed from captives to Kuang Fu Yan Sheji, vowing to overthrow the righteous army of Ji An, the puppet king of Yan State.

When Empress Yan's mother and son arrived later, 100,000 Yan troops went out of the camp for ten miles to welcome the Queen Mother and Yan Wangke, judging from the secret report that Hu Yiwei's secret agents presented to Zhao Dan, it was quite spectacular.

At this point, it is almost obvious who will win and who will lose.

So the grass on the wall in the Yan Kingdom made a choice, and almost in just a few days, most of the Yan Kingdom changed dates one after another, and became loyal fans of the Empress Dowager Yan and Yan Wang'an.

Pang Xuan led nearly 300,000 Zhao, Qi, and Yan coalition troops to the north, and surrounded Wuyang, the last stronghold of Gongzi An and Rong Yan, the capital of Yan State.

After being besieged for nearly a month, dozens of Yan ministers in Wuyang City joined forces to open the gates of Miyagi and Guocheng at the same time in one night, welcoming the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, the Empress Dowager, and Yan Wang Ke into the city.

Rong Yi died in battle, and the puppet king Ji An committed suicide, and this war for the throne came to an end.

Zhao Dan looked at the secret report in front of him and nodded again and again, with a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

You must know that in this war, Zhao Guo has gained a lot.

First of all, Yan Wangke was supported and relieved of a worry.

Secondly, after this war, Wuyuan City, which was originally included in the Yan State due to the rebellion of Fu Bao and others, also returned to the hands of the Zhao State.

In the end, because the Zhao army actually undertook the most critical combat mission, Qi Wangjian also ceded the most fertile 100 li of land among the 300 li land, that is, Gecheng, to the Zhao state.

If you calculate carefully, this battle is actually quite profitable.

Zhao Dan put down the battle report in his hand and smiled at Pang Xuan in front of him: "General Pang led the troops to victory this time, and made great contributions to the widow and Zhao Guoguo. ”

Pang Xuan was recalled by Zhao Dan as soon as possible.

Since most of the troops in the battle this time were the border troops of the five northern counties, they were almost disbanded after returning to the territory of Zhao, and the remaining 20,000 central troops were allowed to slowly march back to Handan.

Pang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Dan's reward, and bowed his head to worship: "Thank you for the grace of the king!" ”

This time, for Pang Xuan's reward, I have to say that it is indeed a big deal.

First of all, Shangqing's title is only one step away from being a feudal monarch, and it has been taken into account that there is only one non-prince feudal monarch in Zhao State, Lian Po, and this Shangqing's lord is actually the peak.

Secondly, the position of this big Sima is equivalent to the deputy commander-in-chief of the Zhao army, and his status is only below Lian Po, he is the number two person in the military, and he is absolutely high and powerful.

More importantly, the last right to participate in military affairs means that Pang Xuan has successfully entered the core leadership team of Zhao State, and can discuss military affairs with Zhao Dan like Zhao Sheng, Lian Po and other five important ministers.

In this way, Zhao Guo once again formed the pattern of the Big Six.

After the courtiers swore allegiance and the king encouraged him, Pang Xuan left happily.

Zhao Dan looked at Pang Xuan's departing figure, with a smile on his face, and after a while, he said to another person who was still in the main hall: "Han Fei, do you understand why the widow did this?" ”

Those who are qualified to meet Zhao Dan with Pang Xuan's side are, of course, only Zhao Guoshi, Han Fei, who Zhao Dan sent to Pang Xuan's army as the "chief of staff" in advance.

After listening to Zhao Dan's words, Han Fei thought for a while, and said: "Hui, back to the king, in the opinion of the ministers, the king's move should be for the sake of checks and balances. ”

"Checks and balances?" Zhao Dan's face moved slightly after listening to Han Fei's words, and he said with a smile: "Who is the counterbalance?" ”

Han Fei hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "General Lian Po." ”

Zhao Dan stared at Han Fei for a while, until he saw that cold sweat began to appear on Han Fei's face before he suddenly smiled and said, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the servant appointed by the widow, and he can see the widow's mind at once." ”

To tell the truth, although Pang Xuan did win two battles, the opponents of these two victories, the Xiongnu and Yan States, were not too strong opponents, so the persuasiveness of this victory was actually relatively limited.

The reason why Zhao Dan suddenly mentioned Pang Xuan among the Big Six was to change the situation that Lian Po was the dominant family in the Zhao military.

Yes, we all know that Lian Po is loyal to the Zhao royal family, but as a monarch, there must be necessary checks and balances.

Lian Po's character, has always been the right thing is very brainless, which can be seen from the historical Battle of Changping King Zhao Xiaocheng issued dozens of military orders to urge Lian Po to refuse to fight, and finally King Zhao Xiaocheng had to replace Zhao Kuo to realize the intention of the war.

So if the army is all Lian Po's descendants, if Lian Po feels that a certain battle is not easy to fight one day, and Zhao Dan is obsessed with fighting, the resulting result may be that the entire military is secretly following Lian Po and playing some tricks with Zhao Dan.

This is absolutely intolerable to Zhao Dan.

In fact, in history, King Zhao Xiaocheng's son King Zhao Mourning Xiang also engaged in such a set of checks and balances, but King Zhao Mourning Xiang's means were not at home, which led to Lian Po's final departure from Wei, which can be said to be a lose-lose ending.

In such a situation, Zhao Dan, who keeps in mind the four words of history as a mirror, will naturally not go back to the old path of failure.

The reason why Lian Po fled in history was because King Zhao Mourning Xiang wanted to replace Lian Po's position as a general with Lecheng, so that Lian Po could not be the first person in the military, and Lian Po angrily rebelled against Zhao.

So Zhao Dan's means this time are very simple, you Lian Po will continue to be your general, when you are the commander-in-chief of Zhao State and the boss of the military, no problem, the widow has no opinion at all.

But as the saying goes, you have to know how to repay the favor, since you are the boss, you can't have an opinion if you are the deputy commander-in-chief and the second person in the military, right?

In this way, a preliminary situation of checks and balances is formed.

This can actually be said to be a very simple imperial power technique.

But even so, Han Fei was able to guess Zhao Dan's thoughts at once, which still made Zhao Dan feel a little emotional.

Zhao Dan is a traverser and has the memory of two lifetimes, so he is so skilled in this kind of power technique, but Han Fei is just a Korean son who is not favored, but he can see the Tao in it at once through his own pondering, which is not easy.

This kid is really not a loss, he is known as a super bull who integrates the three strengths of the law, art, and potential of the legalist.

On a whim, Zhao Dan suddenly wanted to continue to take the Han Fei first exam.

So Zhao Dan continued to ask: "Han Fei, in your opinion, how about the skill of checks and balances, but there is still room for improvement?" ”

Han Fei thought for a while before he replied: "The king, from the courtier's point of view, it seems that the king's methods are wonderful and wonderful, but there is still one or one place that can still be completed. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Dan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Han Fei in front of him with a little surprise: "Then in your opinion, how should the widow make up for it?" ”

Han Fei said: "The Southern Army Zhonglang General Le and Le Cheng have always been extremely loyal to the big and the king, if, if it is the time to wait for the meritorious service of the Lecheng, the big and the king may be able to take the test and consider making the Lecheng also participate in the court meeting and discuss the right to discuss the major affairs of the country and the country." ”

Zhao Dan paused for a moment, and only after a while did he pat his thigh and laughed.

"Seconds, seconds!"
