"How so?"

Lian Po looked at Lecheng who fled in a hurry, and in addition to disdain in his heart, he also felt that something bad was wrong.

Although he was extremely angry and had the heart to give Le Cheng a horse, he never thought that the two would fight against each other.

The general who rushed out to capture Lecheng was also because he was not used to seeing what Lecheng did, so he made his own decisions.

But now, Lecheng abandoned the army and fled in a hurry, which is very different in nature from giving the other party a dismount.

"General, what should I do?"

Guo Xu, a confidant general, also felt that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at Lian Po, with a worried face.

Predictable.

This time Lecheng returned to Handan, he would definitely play Zhao Yan, and he would be able to support the army and self-respect, intending to rebel.

"Gather away the corporal under the command of Lecheng and withdraw to Yin'an."

County office.

Lian Po rubbed his forehead, his face showed a look of distress, and he was a little restless.

Previously, he had not thought about it, so he automatically resigned from all his official positions and went to the land of Shenqi to join Zhao Jia.

With the relationship between the two, Lian Po will be greatly courteous when he arrives at the land of Shenqi.

For Zhao Jia, Lian Po is also extremely optimistic, feeling that this son will become a great weapon, and he will be in charge of Zhao Guo sooner or later in the future.

But now, the fact that Lecheng was frightened and ran away made it a little difficult for Lian Po to ride a tiger.

Lian Po could fully predict that after Lecheng returned to Handan, he would definitely charge himself with rebellion.

At that time, if Lian Po went to Zhao Jia, he would bring trouble to Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia accepted Lian Po, and Zhao Yan would inevitably accuse Zhao Jia of harboring rebellion, and then Xingshi would ask for the guilt, which might even cause civil unrest in Zhao.

"I have been born and died for Zhao for so many years, so I naturally don't want Zhao to fall into war because of me."

Lian Po saw it very thoroughly.

Although Zhao Jia seems to be beautiful now, after all, he has not inherited the unification, unless he really wants to plunge Zhao into civil strife, he can only tremble and endure humiliation.

In fact, even if Zhao Jia rebelled now, the possibility of success was very slim.

Zhao Yan's succession to the throne represents orthodoxy, and he also has the support of the Handan clan and nobles.

If Zhao Jiaruo raises troops, his reputation will inevitably be ruined, and there will definitely not be too many responders except for the diehards of Shenqi.

How can it be undefeated to fight against the huge Zhao State with a land of hundreds of miles?

And as long as a war breaks out between the two, no matter who wins or loses, the Zhao State, which has already begun to flourish, will inevitably decline.

Including those Huns who moved to various parts of the Zhao State, I am afraid that they will also be ready to move.

For today's Zhao State, stable development is above all else.

"I, where do I go from here?"

Lian Po stared at the tiger talisman on the desk, remembering the years when he had been admired by others over the years, and his heart was full of unwillingness.

Compared with Wang Qian's brave retreat in history, Lian Po is more utilitarian.

Now that he is in power in Zhao and does not know how to rein in his edge, even if he was forced to flee to Wei in history, he still wants to be able to take power.

"You can't even involve your son, but you can't leave Zhao easily."

"Otherwise, the glory I have accumulated over the years will be gone!"

Lian Po gritted his teeth, and finally took out a piece of letterhead, and thought for a long time before picking up his pen and starting to write a letter.

Lian Po's letter has lost the rigidity and arrogance of the past.

On the contrary, in this letter to Zhao Yan, Lian Po became very humble, and even put aside his arrogance, and vaguely expressed his surrender to Zhao Yan, and was willing to support the other party as the king of Zhao.

He also explained to Zhao Yan what happened not long ago, claiming that he had no intention of leading the troops to attack Lecheng, but the other party was too arrogant, and he wanted to give him a dismount.

Unexpectedly, Le Cheng was as timid as a mouse, and he was so frightened that he abandoned 3,000 soldiers and horses and fled.

When he wrote this letter, Lian Po made a lot of determination.

It wasn't until after writing that Lian Po breathed a long sigh of relief, as if comforting himself, he said to himself: "The crown prince is in charge of the power of Zhao, and he will become the king of Zhao." ”

"I am loyal to the Zhao State, and it is reasonable to bow my head to the prince."

People, once they have a utilitarian heart, it is easy to abandon their persistence.

Facing the reality, Lian Po has to do the same.

"Someone, quickly take this letter and go to Handan to hand it over to the prince!"

Lian Po sealed the letter, summoned his confidants, and ordered him to rush to Handan.

However, it was said that after Le Cheng fled in a hurry, he rushed to Handan in the starry night, and hurriedly went to meet Zhao Yan.

"It's not good, it's the opposite!"

When Zhao Yan suddenly heard the news, his face turned pale with fright, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

He took two steps forward and said in a lost voice: "How can Lian Po be opposed?" ”

Although Zhao Yan said that he was jealous of Lian Po, he also knew that Lian Po was loyal to Zhao Guo, and he only took away his military power this time, and the positions of general and Xiangguo were still there.

Zhao Yan never thought that Lian Po would rebel against this.

If Lian Po rebels, it is definitely a very tricky matter, not to mention that Lian Po's rebellion will plunge Zhao into civil strife.

Just by virtue of Lian Po's prestige in the army, even if Zhao Yan was able to put down the rebellion in the end, it would also cast a haze in the hearts of the officers and men in the army.

Just imagine, even the existence admired by the soldiers has rebelled, who still has the heart to fight for the country?

Le Cheng said indignantly: "The last general took the edict of the prince and prepared to go to accept the tens of thousands of troops of Yin'an. ”

"I never thought that Lian Po's old horseman was proud of his achievements, and he didn't put the prince and the last general in his eyes, and led the troops to attack the last general's commanding department."

"The last general only has thousands of soldiers and horses, how can he stop the rebels led by Lian Po?"

"After a hard battle, the last general had to break through and rush back to Handan in the starry night to report this matter to the prince."

Speaking of this, Le Cheng looked at Zhao Yantieqing's face, and said with some stumbling: "The most, the most exciting thing for the last general is that Lian Po's old horseman, Ju, actually said that the prince ......."

Speaking of this, Le Cheng deliberately paused, revealing a look of wanting to say something and stopping.

Zhao Yan asked, "What are you talking about Prince Ben?" ”

Le Cheng hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Lian Po old man said that he is the general of Zhao State, and he also serves as the prime minister, don't say that the prince has not really inherited the throne, even if he really becomes the king of Zhao, he has to be courteous." ”

"Bang!"

When Zhao Yan heard this, he was so angry that he picked up the inkstone on the desk, and then slammed it on the ground, his face was pale.

"You're a good guy, and you're really proud of your achievements!"

"Lecheng, you quickly dispatch troops and prepare to attack Lian Po in the south, if he dares to resist, he will be killed!"

"In addition, send someone to arrest Lian Po and his subordinate generals' families!"

Le Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took the order and left.

Just as Lecheng was dispatching troops, the messenger sent by Lian Po also came to Handan and met Zhao Yan smoothly.

After reading the letter, Zhao Yan frowned.

He could see from the letter that Lian Po was not as unsightly as Lecheng said, but already had the intention of surrendering.

According to what Zhao Yan thought in his heart, if he wanted to stabilize the situation in Zhao State, he also needed to use Lian Po's prestige.

As long as Lian Po really has the heart of surrender, it is also a very good choice to let him return to Handan to take up a vacant position, and after stabilizing his power, he will cut his official title.

At this time, Zhao Yan knew what was happening in the south, and he also felt bad for Lecheng.

When he asked him to go south to accept the military power, Zhao Yan listened to the advice of his henchman Han Cang, and repeatedly warned Lecheng, saying that Lian Po eats soft and not hard, as long as he can accept the military power smoothly, it is nothing to lower his posture a little.

He didn't expect that Lecheng ignored his advice and took the lead in provoking Lian Po and almost forced him to rebel.

Not only that, in the face of Lian Po's intimidation, Le Cheng was so frightened that he left his soldiers and horses and fled directly back to Handan.

Lecheng's actions made Zhao Yan quite disappointed.

The most important thing is that Le Cheng deceived Zhao Yan by lying about the military situation, and almost caused civil unrest in Zhao.

This kind of thing cannot be forgiven in any way.

"Come, take this prince's edict and go to arrest Lecheng and remove him from all official positions!"

Thinking of all the things that Le Cheng had done, Zhao Yan's eyes flashed a little fiercely.

As you can imagine.

At this time, it was bound to be difficult for Lecheng to gain a foothold in the Zhao State, and Zong Lianpo eventually fell, and Lecheng could not ascend to the throne.

After deciding the fate of Lecheng, Zhao Yan paced back and forth in the study, still not thinking about how to deal with Lian Po.

In the end, he still asked his confidant Han Cang to listen to the other party's advice.

"Doctor Han, what do you think of this?"

After Zhao Yan informed Han Cang of all the incidents, he asked with a little sorrow.

He wanted to continue to appoint Lian Po and use the other party's prestige to stabilize the court, but he was worried that he would not be able to control this tiger, so he hesitated.

Han Cang secretly thought to himself: "If you don't take the opportunity to eradicate Lian Po at this time, after he returns to Handan, I am afraid that he will continue to occupy the position of Xiangguo." ”

"If Lian Po doesn't leave, how can I get on the throne?"

Thinking of this, Han Cang Zhengse said: "Although the sin of Lecheng is unforgivable, it is also incorruptible. ”

Zhao Yan frowned and said, "Why do you say this?" ”

Han Cang said eloquently: "Lecheng lied about the military situation, claiming that Lian Po was in rebellion, and the prince had ordered the arrest of Lian Po and his family, and began to dispatch troops to prepare for the rebellion. ”

"This matter has been full of turmoil, if the king said at this time that Lian Po did not rebel, but was Lecheng falsely accused meritorious ministers, the people of the world will definitely think that the prince uses villains and wishes to be virtuous, and the prince's reputation will be damaged."

"As the saying goes: it's hard to get back when it's water."

"Since things have come to this point, the prince might as well make a mistake and simply charge Lian Po with rebellion, so that it can not only protect the prince's reputation, but also get rid of Lian Po's henchman, which is the best of both worlds."

When Zhao Yan heard this, he sighed: "I also want to eradicate Lian Po." ”

"After all, Lian Po is the pillar of Zhao State, if he loses his integrity, Zhao Guo will have something to do in the future, who can take on the big responsibility?"

Although Zhao Yan is selfish, he also knows that he thinks about the overall situation.

In addition to Lian Po, Zhao Jia and Li Mu can command the troops, but Zhao Yan can't even tolerate Lian Po, how can he tolerate these two people.

If there is no Zhao Jia, after Lian Po loses power, it is also the time when Li Mu begins to really rise and enter the core power center of Zhao State.

It's a pity that Li Mu in this time and space is also very close to Zhao Jia, and he is also jealous of Zhao Yan.

Zhao Guo has no Lian Po, Lecheng and Lejian brothers can no longer be used, Zhao Jia and Li Mu can't be used, who can take on the big responsibility?

Han Cang saw that Zhao Yan was worried, and he pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"In the past, the great-grandson of Pang Juan, the general of Wei State, is still in Zhao State, this person has both civil and military skills, and he will definitely be able to take on a big responsibility!"
