Just when Qin Wangji was discussing countermeasures with the ministers of Qin in Xianyang Palace, Zhao Dan was also discussing countermeasures with his two ministers in Changzhi City.

One in front of Zhao Dan was Ling Miaoxian, the eunuch of Zhao State, and the other was Lian Po, the general of Zhao State.

Zhao Dan sat on the top seat and looked at Lian Po with some curiosity.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Zhao Dan has seen Lian Po after crossing over.

Although Lian Po in front of Zhao Dan said that his temples were already a little white, the whole person knelt there and his body was extremely straight, his body was tall and strong, and he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

Seriously, when Zhao Dan saw Lian Po's figure, he suddenly remembered a foreign movie star he often saw on TV before he crossed over - Schwarzenegger.

Zhao Dan secretly admired in his heart, no wonder Lian Po was eighty years old, and he could still eat several bowls of rice and several catties of meat in one meal.

Lian Po made a move, and saw that Zhao Dan had been looking at him, his eyes were strange and he didn't speak, and he couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart, so he took the initiative to say to Zhao Dan: "I don't know why the king summoned the old minister here?" ”

Zhao Dan came back to his senses from his trance, coughed a little embarrassed, and was about to get to the point.

Lian Po was called back by Zhao Dan from the Changping front.

At such a critical juncture, of course, Zhao Dan could not call Lian Po, the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army, back for no reason.

The first snow of the winter lasted for several days, and although it was only light snow, it showed no signs of stopping.

After more than half a month of fierce fighting, the Changping front also began to fall into a rare truce with the arrival of this snowfall.

It was precisely because of the truce that Zhao Dan dared to call Lian Po back.

Of course, even if you come back, you will come back in secret.

Secrecy is necessary, once the Qin army finds out that Lian Po is not sitting on the front line, then Bai Qi is likely to attack again, and the battle situation will inevitably make waves again.

The reason why he took the risk to call Lian Po back was mainly because Zhao Dan wanted to have a conversation with Lian Po in person.

Some of the things I said in the letter are always more convenient than face-to-face communication.

Zhao Dan looked at Lian Po with blazing eyes, and said to the number one person in the Zhao military: "General, in your opinion, can our army in Changping completely annihilate the Baiqi Department today?" ”

Lian Po didn't seem too surprised by Zhao Dan's question, and it didn't take long to give the answer.

"Great King, if the Qin generals are not in vain, then the old minister will be able to annihilate the Qin army. However, at this moment, since the Qin generals are white, they will not be completely annihilated. ”

Zhao Dan looked at Lian Po with a serious and serious expression on his face, and knew that what the general said was definitely what he thought in his heart.

In fact, Lian Po has always been known for being impatient and straightforward, otherwise he would not have been angry and ran to find Lin Xiangru for trouble after hearing that Lin Xiangru was ranked above him, and finally made a story of guilt.

Such a courtier is both useful and not useful.

If you trust him, he will do his best to repay the favor, but if you show the slightest distrust, then he will immediately turn against you.

In history, the reason why Lian Po left Zhao was precisely because the king of Zhao at that time planned to replace Lian Po as the number one person in the Zhao army with Lecheng.

As a traverser, Zhao Dan obviously would not make this mistake.

And to be honest, Zhao Dan never thought of encircling and annihilating the Qin army led by Bai Qi in Changping, Zhao Dan just used Lian Po's judgment to confirm his judgment.

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Lian Po, as a general of Zhao Guoda, looks at the problem from a military point of view, and is definitely more professional and reliable than Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then said to Lian Po: "In the general's opinion, if our army suddenly launches a surprise attack, can we recover Changzi County?" ”

Changzi County is a county in the southwestern part of the Beishangdang Basin, and it is also the only county seat occupied by the Qin army in the Beishangdang Basin.

"The eldest son county?" After Lian Po heard Zhao Dan's request, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Forgive the old minister, now that it is winter, it is unwise to attack rashly. ”

Although he already knew Lian Po's character, when Zhao Dan heard Lian Po's words, his eyebrows couldn't help jumping.

Although we all know that you are a great general and speak straight, you don't need a widow to just make a suggestion, so you can directly say that the widow's suggestion is "unwise".

But Zhao Dan did not give up, and still continued to say to Lian Po: "General, the widow still hopes that our army can defeat the eldest son county. If the eldest son county cannot be captured, the general should also find a way to launch an all-out attack on the Qin army. ”

Lian Po looked at Zhao Dan with some confusion and said, "I don't know why the king has this order?" Nowadays, it is difficult to mobilize troops in the ice and snow, and if they attack in a hurry, the casualties of the soldiers will be heavy. The king's order makes it difficult for the old minister to obey his fate. ”

After Zhao Dan heard Lian Po's words, his eyelids jumped again.

Big brother, are you the king or am I the king? As soon as the widow's order came out, you came back with such a hard bang?

At this time, Zhao Dan could somewhat understand why the historical King Zhao Xiaocheng was so resolute in removing Lian Po.

It is really difficult for a general who leads the army but refuses to accept orders, and has more than 90% of the army of Zhao in his hands, it is really difficult for people to maintain trust.

Looking at Lian Po with a resolute face, Zhao Dan sighed in his heart, knowing that if he didn't tell the truth, he might be difficult to convince this anxious general who loved soldiers like a son.

Zhao Dan was patient and explained to Lian Po: "The general should know that Qin Wangji will come to Changzhi City in a few days to negotiate peace with the widows. ”

Lian Po nodded.

Zhao Dan looked at Lian Po and said with a straight face: "So the widow hopes that the general can create some pressure on the Qin army in Changping in these few days, the higher the pressure the general puts on the Qin people, the more land my Zhao State can obtain in the peace talks." ”

This is indeed Zhao Dan's true intention.

"Land?" After hearing this, Lian Po's expression moved slightly, obviously attracted by the word land.

After all, for this era, the land is the most important thing.

The reason why Lian Po tirelessly pursued the position of the feudal monarch was not precisely because the feudal monarch could have a vast land of his own?

After thinking for a while, Lian Po finally spoke: "If the king orders Xinling Jun to cooperate with the old minister, the old minister should be as the king wishes, so that the Qin people are like a man's back, and they have to make peace." ”

"Good!" Zhao Dan slapped his thigh and smiled at Lian Po: "In this case, the widow will ask the general." ”
