The air suddenly became stagnant.

In the face of King Zhao's inquiry, Lian Po felt cold sweat behind his back and didn't dare to answer easily.

In all fairness.

With the relationship between Lian Po and Zhao Jia, if King Zhao can pass on the throne to Zhao Jia from generation to generation, Lian Po can become a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he can continue to occupy a high position and enjoy his old age in peace.

If Zhao Yan ascends to the throne, even if Lian Po has a very high prestige, because the relationship between the two is not harmonious, it is difficult to predict Lian Po's future.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and Lian Po is no exception.

If possible, Lian Po naturally hoped that King Zhao could pass on the throne to Zhao Jia from generation to generation.

However, the gentleman's heart is unpredictable.

Even if Lian Po had this thought, he would never dare to show it, otherwise he would probably be killed.

He stepped back and knelt on the ground, and said sincerely: "There is no precedent for succession from generation to generation. ”

"Although Gongzi Jia has great military exploits, the generals and colonels in the army are also admired, but the prince has helped the king to govern for many years, and he is in the prime of life, and he has not made any mistakes."

"And most of the ministers of the court and the nobles of Handan are friendly with the crown prince, even if in order to stabilize the situation in the court, I am afraid it is not appropriate to pass the throne to Gongzi Jia."

When King Zhao heard this, a smile finally appeared on his withered face.

"Get up and speak."

Lian Po secretly wiped his cold sweat, got up and saw the smile on King Zhao's face, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew he was right.

"As Qing said, Jia'er has a lot of prestige in the army, not only has a good relationship with Li Mu, but also has a friendship with the general, and most of the people praise Jia'er's name."

"I know that there is a bit of estrangement between the prince and Jia'er, and I am afraid that after the widow passes away, the two will not be able to live in peace."

Speaking of this, Zhao Wang sat up strongly, with a thick melancholy on his face.

Previously, no matter what grievances Zhao Yan and Zhao Jia had, King Zhao held the power of life and death in Zhao State, and he didn't care at all.

He firmly believes that as long as he is still sitting on the throne, it is impossible for the two of them to stir up any storms.

But now, King Zhao felt that he was about to be unable to hold on, and finally began to worry a little.

When it comes to the relationship between relatives and relatives, it is naturally his son Zhao Yan, who has been with him for a long time, and the relationship between him and King Zhao is closer.

King Zhao also knew that when it came to fame and ability, Zhao Jia was the latecomer.

At first, King Zhao still felt that Zhao Jia was gentle and elegant.

After experiencing Zhao Qian's incident, King Zhao also became wary of his eldest grandson.

Nowadays, King Zhao is in a bit of a dilemma.

If this happens, the master will become a puppet, and the master will be killed and usurped.

If Zhao Yan is allowed to inherit the throne, if one day father and son turn against each other, King Zhao is a little worried about his son's safety.

Li Mu, the general of northern Xinjiang, is certainly good friends with Zhao Jia.

King Zhao knew that the relationship between Li Mu and Zhao Jia was not good enough to raise an army for him.

Only Lian Po, who also served as the prime minister, made King Zhao a little worried.

Now Lian Po's prestige is so high that even King Zhao has to give three points, let alone the crown prince Zhao Yan.

With Lian Po's upright character, even if he has a bad relationship with Zhao Jia, if Zhao Yan can treat him politely, King Zhao is not worried about Lian Po bullying the master, let alone helping Zhao Jia to rebel.

It's a pity that King Zhao is a little worried that Zhao Yan will retaliate against Lian Po after succeeding to the throne, so that the monarch and ministers will turn against him, so that Zhao Jia can take advantage of it.

It was precisely for this reason that King Zhao deliberately made a tentative speech, wanting to see Lian Po's attitude towards Xinjun.

Lian Po's performance really did not disappoint King Zhao.

"The general is the pillar of the Zhao country, and after the widow is gone, the Zhao country will rely on the general's support."

Lian Po said solemnly: "The minister will definitely do his best to protect Zhao Guoquan." ”

When King Zhao heard this, he showed a bright smile, and his face was also a little flushed.

He stretched out his hand and put it on Lian Po's shoulder, and suddenly sighed: "According to the imperial doctor, if the widow is properly recuperated, he can live for half a year." ”

"In this life, the widow has tried his best for Zhao Guo, but because of the defeat of Changping, he will definitely leave an infamy in the history books."

"Fortunately, the situation has improved in the past few years, the east, north, and west are all determined, and Zhao Guo is a little prosperous."

"The widow has the heart to expand the territory and wants to make the Zhao Kingdom stronger and stronger, when will I not stay with me!"

Speaking of this, King Zhao's face was full of chagrin and sadness.

When Lian Po heard this, he remembered the importance that King Zhao attached to him, and suddenly felt his blood surge.

He said in a deep voice: "In half a year, the minister is willing to open up the territory for the king, with the heart of the whole king!" ”

King Zhao stared at Lian Po's eyes, and then laughed.

"With the general's words, the widow is satisfied!"

"I just don't know, the widow gave the general 50,000 soldiers and horses, can the general capture Fanyang, the heavy city of Wei, within half a year?"

When Lian Po heard King Zhao's words, he suddenly woke up and felt as if he had fallen into a trap.

Fanyang, south of the Golden Embankment, north of Yanzhao, east of Qilu, west of Taihang, across the later Hebei, Shandong, Henan three provinces, is located in Weishui, Zhanghe between the river.

Fanyang is a place where outstanding people are brilliant, businessmen gather, agriculture and businessmen are flourishing, and it is an important town in the north of Wei State.

Fanyang is extremely important in terms of strategic value and economic significance.

This is also why, when King Wei used Fanyang as collateral and invited Zhao to send troops to attack Yan, even if Lian Po and Zhao Jia strongly opposed it, King Zhao and Zhao Yan still insisted on sending troops.

In the past, the king of Wei broke his promise, and would rather offend the Zhao State than cede Fanyang.

King Zhao originally wanted to send troops to attack, but to commemorate the kindness of Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, he did not use the hilt of the sword.

When Wei Wuji was coldly treated by the King of Wei, King Zhao wanted to send troops to capture Fanyang, but he happened to encounter Meng Fu leading troops to attack the land of Shenqi.

King Zhao was worried about being attacked on both sides, so he once again canceled the idea of attacking Fanyang.

After the end of the battle in the land of Shenqi, it coincided with Li Mu's northern attack on the Xiongnu with the strength of the whole country, although he won a complete victory, but it also consumed a lot of Zhao's national strength and needed to recover slowly.

It can be said that King Zhao has been coveting Fanyang for a long time.

He wants to take the important city of Fanyang in his lifetime, but it is not a lie.

It's just that Lian Po has his own ideas.

Although the division of Wei and Fanyang is famous, for the powerful Zhao State, there is indeed a need for new targets.

However, King Zhao is in danger, and the situation between the DPRK and China will change greatly at any time.

At this critical juncture, Lian Po did not want to leave Handan, the center of power, and turned to attack Wei.

It's a pity.

Lian Po was angry and boasted about Haikou for a while, even if he didn't want to, he could only bear it.

"An army of 50,000, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, within three months, the sun will be pulled!"

Since it is difficult to shirk, Lian Po simply made a desperate bet to conquer Fanyang in the shortest possible time, and then it is not too late to return to Handan.

King Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The general has this pride, the widow should support himself, and the widow asked General Lejian to personally transport grain and grass for the general, with the assistance of General Lejian, there will definitely be no mistakes!" ”
