Chapter 180: Le Cheng Escapes

Yin An.

Since Lian Po learned the news of Zhao Wangdan's death, he did not continue to march south.

He wanted to lead the troops back to Handan, but Handan did not send an edict, and Lian Po could only stand still for the time being.

The waiting time is long and worrying.

"General, it's not good!"

The confidant general Guo Xu rushed into the house, his face full of resentment, but there was also a little trepidation.

"What?"

Although Lian Po also had a bad premonition, he was still as stable as Mount Tai.

With Lian's prestige in the Zhao State, coupled with the fact that he broke the Wei State this time and pulled out two cities in a row, even though the new king Zhao Yan didn't treat him very well, he didn't dare to go too far.

What's more, Zhao Yan was guarding filial piety at this time, and he did not fully inherit the throne, where did he dare to take risks and overly force Lian Po, who was leading the troops outside?

However.

When Lian Po listened to Guo Xu's next words, his face suddenly turned pale, and his body trembled a little with anger.

"The crown prince issued an edict, saying that the general was so happy that the first king only ordered to capture Fanyang, but the general successively captured the two cities of Fanyang and Yin'an."

"Attacking Fanyang, you can still be famous, and if you take more Yin'an, you are deliberately destroying the alliance of Zhao and Wei."

"The crown prince used this incident as an excuse to send Le Cheng south to replace the general to lead the army, and ordered the general to return to Handan quickly."

"Bang!"

Lian Po was furious, and swept everything on the desk to the ground, and his hair was all open.

When Lian Po was young, he was already hot-tempered, but now that he is older, his cultivation has become much better.

What Zhao Yan did today had completely angered Lian Po, the tiger, so that he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"I have been born and died for Zhao for decades, and two generations of virtuous monarchs have entrusted me with important responsibilities."

"Since the army has been sent to attack Wei this time, the alliance between Zhao and Wei will not be broken, so what about taking more Yin An?"

"And Yin'an is built according to the Yellow River, if you don't take it, you will inevitably garrison heavy troops in Fanyang to guard against the Wei State, so won't it contain Zhao's national strength!"

"Zhao Yan'er, it's really a crime to add to it, why don't you excuse it!"

"The king has just passed away, and he is impatient to cut off the meritorious minister, and let the surrendered Yan general replace me, which is simply infuriating me!"

Lian Po was furious, angry at what Zhao Yan had done, and resentful of Lecheng.

Over the years, Zhao Yan has used Lecheng to suppress Lian Po.

Although Lian Po did not suffer any losses, he also had dissatisfaction with Lecheng, and this dissatisfaction can be said to have erupted together today.

Guo Xu also gritted his teeth and said: "The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. ”

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, although the first king valued the general, but the prince was not on good terms with the general, how could he let the general go this time?"

"If the general returns to Handan, he will be permanently idle like Gongzi Wuji, and he will be depressed every day."

"If it is serious, there will be a disaster of death, and it will be difficult to protect it in old age, and I hope that the general will make a decision as soon as possible."

When Lian Po heard this, he walked back and forth in the room with his right hand pressing the sword, and his face changed uncertainly.

He originally thought that with his own merits and prestige, Zhao Yan didn't want to see him, but he didn't dare to go too far.

But I didn't expect it.

The other party has just grasped the power, and before he has really inherited the throne, he is already so impatient to seize his military power.

From this point of view, what Guo Xu said is not groundless.

Walking back and forth for a long time, Lian Po said a little impetuously: "Now the prince doesn't believe me, he presses me with an edict, what can I do?" ”

Guo Xu's face showed ruthlessness, and said: "Since he is unrighteous first, why don't the general simply surrender to Wei with an army of 50,000." ”

"With the fame of the general, and then with the yang and yin as gifts, how can the king of Wei not be entrusted with reuse?"

I didn't think about it, but Lian Po shook his head when he heard this.

"Although the prince was unjust to me first, but the two generations of previous kings have the grace of knowing me, if I rashly lead troops to defect into Wei, my reputation will be damaged, and I must not do it."

Lian Po still has something to say.

Don't look at Lian Po's high prestige in the army, and he has also cultivated a lot of confidants.

However, the vast majority of the soldiers' families are still in the Zhao State, and if they really want to take these people to surrender to the Wei State, I am afraid that the soldiers will rebel first.

Lian Po can surrender to Wei, that is because Zhao Yan has failed Lian Po in front, if he surrenders to Wei with Zhao's soldiers and horses, the nature will be very different, and he will inevitably be labeled as collaborating with the enemy and treason, and betraying the lord to seek glory.

If this is the case, no one will dare to use Lian Po anymore.

"I heard that the prince and Pingqi Jun have many discords, and now the prince will lose the heart of the world if he seizes the power of the general."

"Why don't the generals lead the troops to the northwest and go to Pingqijun."

"With Pingqi Jun's prestige in Zhao, and his royal bloodline, it is easy to keep the general, and even with the help of the general, it is not difficult to lead the army to Handan to seize the throne."

Guo Xu quickly figured out the worries in Lian Po's heart and made suggestions again.

Lian Po heard this, but there was a hesitant look on his face.

"Report, General Lecheng commanded three thousand, came with the Handan edict, and asked the general to meet him in person!"

At this moment, a herald ran in and shouted a loud report.

Lian Po was furious when he heard this.

"The old man has been fighting for the country for decades, and Lecheng District Yan is a general, how dare you let the old man go to meet him!"

"Where's the left and right?"

"Hurry up and gather the troops and horses, the old man wants to see if the happy horseman dares to accept the old man's reception."

Guo Xu was also furious, and without any hesitation, he went directly to the school to transfer troops.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, it was said that Lecheng commanded 3,000 soldiers and horses, standing outside the city of Yin'an, and was full of spirit.

"After today, the old man Lian Po can no longer suppress me, with the weight and support of the prince, I should be in charge of the military power of Zhao State from now on!"

At this time, Lecheng was very glad that he had chosen the right person before.

As the saying goes: once a son of heaven and a courtier.

As long as Zhao Yan can successfully ascend to the throne, Lecheng, who has been secretly serving for a long time, will naturally be able to soar from now on.

"In the past, that old man of Lian Po was quite disdainful of me."

"Today, I have the prince's edict, so I want to let the old man Lian Po personally go out of the city to greet him in front of everyone!"

Compared with the music room, Lecheng is a lot narrow-minded and very resentful.

Over the years, Lecheng has relied on Zhao Yan's support behind him, and has repeatedly confronted Lian Po, but he has been disgraced every time.

The enmity between the two has also accumulated more and more, almost to the point of irreconcilability.

In the face of Lecheng, Lian Po even disdained to treat him as an opponent, as if he was dealing with a clown who jumped off the beam.

Lian Po's attitude undoubtedly hit Lecheng's self-esteem a big blow, and the resentment in his heart has accumulated for a long time.

Today, I have the opportunity to show off my might in front of Lian Po, how can Lecheng let go of this great opportunity?

"Knock knock!"

Just when Le Cheng was in high spirits and waiting for Lian Po to grovel and go out of the city to greet him, he suddenly heard the earth-shaking war drums.

The sudden sound of the drum suddenly shocked Lecheng's heart.

He looked up just in time to see the gates of Yin'an open.

Lian Po, who was heavily armed, stood on top of the chariot, and rushed out with a murderous spirit with many soldiers and horses.

"Does Lian Po still dare to rebel?"

Le Cheng was shocked when he saw this, and looked at Lian Po, who was leading the soldiers with murderous spirit, and he was already cowardly.

Lecheng is pretentious and does not think that he is inferior to Lian.

However, Lian Po has a large number of soldiers and horses, and Le Cheng only has 3,000 people, if Lian Po really wants to rebel and lead a large army to attack, Le Cheng has no chance of winning at all.

"Lecheng Pifu, the general is here, don't come to visit quickly!"

Just when Lecheng was worried about Lian Po's rebellion, he suddenly heard a cry like thunder.

Hundreds of guards equipped with generals, the sound even drowned out the rumbling war drums.

Those who followed the three thousand Zhao pawns behind Lecheng, seeing Lian Po's majesty, many people showed respect on their faces.

Lian Po can be described as the myth of Zhao and the pride of all Zhao people.

It is an indisputable fact that the soldiers worshipped Lian Po.

Although these 3,000 soldiers all came from Handan with Lecheng, they did not know the purpose of this coming.

In their hearts, Lian Po is still the general of Zhao Guo, still the minister of Zhao Guoguo, and an existence that everyone should look up to and respect.

Although Le Cheng is also a general, in terms of status, there is no way to compare with Lian Po.

Lian Po asked Le Cheng to come forward to salute, and everyone took it for granted.

"Stop!"

Lian Po stood on the chariot with the hilt of his sword in his hand, and when the chariot left Yin'an City, he suddenly raised his right hand.

The rumbling sound of war drums stopped in an instant.

"Lecheng, why don't you come to see your true appearance soon!"

Lian Po stared at the Lecheng in front of him, and shouted angrily.

When Lecheng heard this, he secretly complained.

Although Zhao Yan said that he wanted to seize Lian Po's military power and let Lian Po return to Handan, because of Lian Po's prestige, he did not issue an edict to deprive him of his position as minister and general.

In this way, even a discerning person can see that Lian Po will be gradually elevated after returning to Handan.

At least for now, Lian Po is still above Lecheng.

Whether it is his position as a minister or a general, Lecheng needs to look up.

Therefore, Lian Po let Le Cheng come forward to greet him, and he couldn't find any fault at all.

Fortunately, Lecheng is not an easy person, and shouted: "I came with the prince's edict to represent the Handan royal family, and I can't give the general a salute!" ”

"On the contrary, it is General Lian Po, who should come forward to meet him when he sees the edict!"

Lian Po laughed out loud when he heard this, and after a while, he suddenly stopped his smile and said sharply: "I hold the position of general, and I have the power of the country, who can call me and leave as soon as I am called?" ”

"Although the crown prince is the heir to the royal family, he has not really inherited the throne after all."

"Even if the prince saw Ben Shuai, he didn't dare to be so big, you husband and fox fake tiger might, you actually dared to let Ben Shuai go out of the city to greet you in person."

Lian Po's voice was like a huge thunder, and the beard was all open, and all the soldiers on both sides heard this voice.

Immediately afterward, a monstrous rage spread among the soldiers.

"You, the spineless general of the Yan Kingdom, dare to be disrespectful to the general!"

I don't know who took the lead in shouting and questioning, and then more and more soldiers began to drink and curse Lecheng.

Even, even the three thousand soldiers under the command of Le Cheng looked at Le Cheng with a certain dissatisfaction.

In their hearts, General Lian Po is the pillar of the country, and everyone must maintain enough respect to do it.

The overwhelming scolding sounded in the army.

And that's not all.

Many agitated soldiers even beat their shields with their weapons, and a strong intention to kill rose to the sky.

Seeing this, Le Cheng's face was immediately frightened.

He had no idea that things would come to this point.

"A general of the Yan Kingdom, how dare he show off his might in front of the general, and see that the general captured that guy and handed it over to the general for disposal!"

Suddenly, a general came out with a spear in his hand, and actually rushed towards Lecheng single-handedly.

The sudden attack of this general suddenly made Le Cheng's soul risk.

"Stop him!"

Le Cheng instructed the left and right soldiers to step forward, not wanting to fight with that Zhao general.

Not to mention that Lian Po's prestige has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the tens of thousands of troops on the opposite side alone have made the corporal under the command of Le Cheng dare not act rashly.

After Lecheng's order was issued, no one dared to step forward to stop the general Zhao.

In addition to the dozen or so personal guards selected by Lecheng from the family, the rest of the Zhao soldiers actually deliberately distanced themselves from Lecheng.

It was only at this time that Lecheng deeply felt how difficult the gap was between himself and Lian Po.

Not to mention the ability to command troops, the prestige between the two alone is very different.

He hurriedly raised the edict in his hand and shouted: "Lian Po disobeyed the edict, led the army to rebel, and attacked the Handan envoy!" ”

But no one responded to his words.

That Zhao General still rushed towards him, getting closer and closer, closer and closer.

Seeing this, Lecheng suddenly felt his heart cold.

He was afraid that he would be captured by the man, so he simply turned his horse's head and fled north without turning back.
