"Report!"

In the main hall of King Zhao's palace, the messenger came in a panic, and his face was full of surprise.

"How's the war going in the north?"

Seeing this, King Zhao got up, and his heart was extremely anxious.

"King Qiqi, the Daiyi guards surrendered without a fight, the entire territory of Daijun was lost, and General Li Mu, who went to Daijun to support, and 50,000 soldiers and horses also lost contact for many days."

When King Zhao heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble.

His eyes widened, and he asked with some expectation: "How are the soldiers and horses on this road of Lian Po, but the widow heard that Gongzi Jia and Chestnut won a big victory in the first battle." ”

The messenger's face was bitter, and he said: "Gongzijia defended Guyi for half a month, but the general's reinforcements never arrived, and the Daiyi defender surrendered without a fight, so that the Guyi defenders were shaken. ”

"No, Gongzijia led the remnants of the army to withdraw from Guyi, and was chased and killed by the Yan army, and there were only a few thousand survivors."

"Even, even ......"

At this point, the Messenger did not dare to continue.

"Even what?"

King Zhao had a bad premonition in his heart and asked sharply.

The messenger did not dare to conceal it, and hurriedly replied: "Even Gongzi Jia was seriously wounded, and after leading the remnants of the army across the Hutuo River, he fell unconscious. ”

"Then the chestnut belly led the army to chase and kill, forcibly crossed the Hutuo River, and captured the two important cities of Xiyang and Xiaquyang."

King Zhao's face turned pale when he heard this, his body staggered, and he almost fell to the ground.

Although he has been depressed over the years and has less control over his grandchildren, Zhao Jia is his own grandson after all.

Looking at the children and grandchildren of King Zhao, only Zhao Jia can be used, and the rest are all wine bags and rice bags.

Zhao Jia fought with Chestnut and won the first battle, which greatly boosted the Zhao people's heart to resist Yan, and also made King Zhao impressed with his eldest grandson.

But he didn't want to, the reinforcements led by Lian Po, the general, failed to reach Guyi for a long time, so that Guyi, Xiyang, and Xiaquyang, these important cities, were all lost one after another.

Even, even Zhao Jia almost died in battle.

Thinking of the bad effects of the loss of Gu Yi, Xiyang, and Xia Quyang, King Zhao suddenly felt stuffy in his chest and almost vomited blood.

"Whoa!"

King Zhao swept everything on the table to the ground, and then began to gasp for breath, and his eyes were a little red.

"The widow trusts Lian Po with the safety of the whole country, but he doesn't want Lian Po to lose the courage of the past, and he acts softly and lazily, and he has not led troops to rescue Gu Yi for more than half a month."

"Some time ago, the widow sent people to urge him again and again, but Lian Po kept prevaricating."

"Now that Gu Yi, Xiyang, and Xia Quyang have been lost successively, the whole territory of Zhongshan is no longer in danger to defend, if the whole territory of Zhongshan is lost, how can my Zhao State compete with Yan State again!"

King Zhao roared loudly, his face hideous.

In the palace, Zhao Guo's civil and military forces were all terrified, and many people also showed worries.

The prosperity of Zhongshan's hometown is the best in the whole territory of Zhao Kingdom.

Now the Zhao State first lost Gu Yi, causing the 400,000 Yan army commanders to drive straight into the Zhao State and ravage the Zhao State.

Not only that, when he heard that Zhao Jia was seriously injured and in a coma, he led his troops in a long-distance pursuit, first capturing Hutuoshui and Tianwei, and then conquering the two important cities of Xiyang and Xiaquyang one after another.

These two cities are the key points on the south bank of the Hutuo River.

If Gu Yi is lost, Yan Guo will be able to conquer half of Zhongshan, then if these two cities are lost, the entire Zhongshan hometown will really be in no danger to defend.

It was precisely knowing the seriousness of the matter that King Zhao would be so angry.

"Your Majesty, Gu Yi, Xiyang, and Xia Quyang are lost, and the entire territory of Zhongshan will change hands."

"If Zhongshan is lost, my Zhao State will no longer be able to compete with Yan State!"

"In today's Zhao State, only the important city of Shanyi remains, and it can still rely on the terrain to block the attack of the Yan army."

"If Shanyi is lost, the Yan army will be able to drive straight into trapped Handan."

"At that time, Zhao Guo was in danger!"

Doctor Zhao Guo's face was full of grief and indignation, and he shouted loudly.

King Zhao was also upset, knowing that now not only had Zhongshan been lost, but even Handan might be besieged by the Yan army.

"According to the doctor's wishes, how should I deal with it?"

Someone asked.

Doctor Zhao Guo said with a disgruntled face: "Before the war, the old man strongly persuaded the king that he should negotiate peace with Yan Guo. ”

"However, Lian Po and Gongzi Jia strongly objected, and said that the old man collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country."

"Now it seems that Gongzijia has lost the three important cities of Guyi, Xiyang, and Xiaquyang, and Lian Po is even more sluggish in marching, untimely rescue, and has not done the slightest, so that my Zhao country has fallen into such a dangerous situation."

Speaking of this, Doctor Zhao couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart when he saw that King Zhao's face was not good.

Only then did he begin to decide to start a war with Yan State, not only the ideas of Lian Po and Zhao Jia, but also the main battle faction of King Zhao.

If Doctor Zhao Guo didn't know what to do and continued to keep his mouth shut, it would be equivalent to accusing King Zhao.

Not to mention.

Even if Zhao Jia is wrong, after all, it is the eldest grandson of Wang, and the credit for defending the city and intercepting the chestnut belly this time cannot be erased.

Even if Zhao Jia finally lost Gu Yi, Xiyang, and Xia Quyang, it was because of the small number of soldiers, and because Lian Po's rescue was not timely, Zhao Jia couldn't be blamed at all.

Mrs. Zhao Guoda was old and refined, and quickly figured out the key.

He hurriedly changed his words: "Gongzi Jia blocked the 400,000 army of Yan State for half a month with his remnants, and he was able to defeat the enemy's spirit in the first battle, and he was really the pillar of the country." ”

"The loss of Gu Yi, Xiyang, and Xia Quyang can't all be blamed on Gongzi."

"The king should be held accountable, why did he not lead the main force to Guyi for so long to help Gongzi Jia defend the city!"

When King Zhao heard this, his face looked a little better.

At this time, King Zhao was also extremely puzzled in his heart, and he couldn't understand why Lian Po was so slow.

You must know that it has been nearly a month since the Yan army invaded the territory of Zhao State.

Even if Lian Po needs to strengthen the city walls in various cities, and also train and run in the newly recruited soldiers, after such a long time, he should be able to reach Guyi.

"Could it be that Lian Po still holds a grudge against Changping for changing generals, and has a different heart?"

Thinking of this, King Zhao suddenly felt cold all over.

"No, Lian Po is loyal and brave, he will never betray the widow, and he will never betray Zhao Guo!"

Zhao Wang forcibly suppressed the trembling in his heart, as if he was hypnotizing himself.

Doctor Zhao Guo still chattered endlessly, and said: "The king is so important and incorruptible, so that he commands the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and entrusts the whole country with life and death. ”

"Lian Po is struggling and procrastinating, I am afraid that he has different intentions."

"This battle is related to the life and death of my Zhao country, and I also ask the king to send an envoy to ask Lian Po, if Lian Po has always been sluggish and does not dare to fight, he might as well replace him as a general."

The Battle of Changping was defeated because of the replacement of Lian Po in the battle.

Rao is like this, there are still many people in Zhao Guo, and they still want Zhao Guo to repeat the mistakes of the past, thinking of changing generals again.

When King Zhao heard this, he remembered the tragedy of the Battle of Changping and hesitated.

But soon, he thought that it was precisely because of Lian Po's inaction that Zhao Jia lost three important cities one after another, and the entire Zhongshan had to change hands.

This kind of loss, King Zhao can't bear it no matter what.

"Edict, blame Lian Po!"

After hesitating, King Zhao still did not fully trust Lian Po after all, and was ready to send someone to hold him accountable.
