"Prince, the land of Shenqi is urgent!"

Zhao Yan dragged his tired body, and as soon as he returned to Zhao Wangdan's mourning hall, he saw the eunuch running over in a hurry, his face full of anxiety.

"What happened?"

Zhao Yan was shocked when he saw this, and thought that Zhao Jia in the land of Shenqi had rebelled.

The eunuch said in a bit of a panic: "Li Si, under Gongzi Jia, returned to Handan and asked the prince to send an imperial doctor to the land of Shenqi to treat Gongzi Jia's illness. ”

Zhao Yan frowned slightly when he heard this, and shouted, "What's wrong with Gongzijia?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly replied: "According to Li Si, Gongzi Jia has been fighting for many years, and he has become ill from hard work, and some time ago he suddenly heard the news of the death of the first king, and he was even more angry and bloody, and fainted. After being diagnosed by a good doctor, although Gongzijia has woken up, he has become extremely haggard, and his health is getting worse and worse, and he can't manage politics. ”

"The medical skills of the medical officers in the land of Shenqi are limited, and it is difficult to completely cure Gongzi Jia, and I hope that the prince will send a good doctor from Handan to the land of Shenqi to remove the disease for Gongzi Jia."

Zhao Yan, who was still worried about Zhao Jia's rebellion, suddenly heard the bad news, and for some reason, he actually felt a little panicked in his heart.

It is said that it is the most ruthless imperial family, and it is true that people born in the imperial family can turn father and son against each other and kill each other for that supreme position.

Zhao Yan was so jealous of Zhao Jia, and as soon as he set up a nickname for the first king, he couldn't wait to summon Zhao Jia back to Handan, not because he was afraid that Zhao Jia would threaten his throne.

But now, when Zhao Yan learned that Zhao Jia's body had become unbearable, instead of showing the slightest joy, he was faintly anxious in his heart.

Previously, Zhao Yan did not treat Zhao Jia well because he doted on Li Ji and his young son Zhao Qian.

But in the final analysis, Zhao Jia is also Zhao Yan's eldest son, and the fact that blood is thicker than water cannot be changed no matter what.

When he learned the news of Zhao Qian's death, Zhao Yan did resent Zhao Jia.

It's just that after such a long time, Zhao Yan and Zhao Zheng get along day and night, and they have also reflected on a lot of problems, feeling that they did treat their eldest son unfairly before.

Seeing Zhao Jia's ability and achievements again, Zhao Yan did not have a little regret in his heart.

He occasionally asked himself silently in his heart, if he had treated Zhao Jia better before, maybe his youngest son would not have died, and as the eldest son of his biggest political enemy, he might become his greatest help.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

He wanted to make amends, but found that it seemed to be too late, and there was already a deep estrangement between father and son.

This edict ordered Zhao Jia to return to Handan to keep filial piety, Zhao Yan did have the intention of putting Zhao Jia under house arrest and taking back the land of Shenqi, but he never thought of being unfavorable to Zhao Jia himself.

On the contrary, Zhao Yan even considered that after removing Zhao Jia's wings and consolidating the throne, he would keep him by his side, so as to improve the relationship between father and son, and then make him the crown prince, so that Zhao Jia's talents could be used for his own use.

Zhao Yan's thinking is not surprising.

No matter what contradictions there are between the two, it is a father-son relationship after all, and Zhao Yan never thought of killing Zhao Jia.

Especially now, Zhao Yan only has one son like Zhao Jia, and the throne will be inherited by Zhao Jia sooner or later, so first reducing his wings, and then putting him by his side, and stabilizing his heart with the position of the crown prince has become the best of both worlds.

Zhao Yan didn't think about passing on the throne to Zhao Zheng from generation to generation in the future, but this idea is not realistic.

First of all, with Zhao Jia's prestige and ability, some people would agree with Zhao Yan to do this.

And Zhao Zheng is too young, it will take another decade or two to grow up, and many variables will happen in such a long time.

The world is impermanent, and Zhao Yan doesn't dare to guarantee how long he can live.

Although he is a bit of a bastard, and his vision is far inferior to Zhao Jia, he also hopes that Zhao Guo can become rich and strong, compared to the various risks that the young master may bring, it is the best choice to let Zhao Jia, a person with ability, prestige and means, inherit his position.

But now, the news that Zhao Jia is critically ill has disrupted all of Zhao Yan's plans.

"Quickly summon Li Si into the palace, select the best medical officer in the palace, and set off for the land of Shenqi on the same day."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yan hesitated for a moment, and then sighed: "The decree that summons Gongzi Jia to return to Handan to keep filial piety, don't send it out yet." ”

After explaining everything, Zhao Yan arrived in front of Zhao Wangdan's coffin, knelt on the futon, and a little sadness flashed in his eyes.

Over the years, whether Zhao Yan is sincere or pretended, at least he is an image of a filial son, otherwise Zhao Wangdan would not have bothered to plan for Zhao Yan before he died.

Zhao Wangdan died, and Zhao Yan ascended the throne as he wished, while he was happy, he also felt great pressure.

"Qian'er, father, you have all passed away one after another, even Jia'er is terminally ill, if something happens to Jia'er, only me and the young Zheng'er are left in the four generations of the royal family!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yan suddenly felt sadness in his heart, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Even if you get the world, if there is no successor, what can you do?

Although Zhao Yan is now in the prime of life, he has also thought about having a few more sons, but since marrying Li Ji and giving birth to Zhao Qian, even though he has been fortunate to have many women, he still has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter.

This is why, he is so fortunate that Li Ji and his young son have moved.

But soon, Zhao Yan restrained the sadness in his eyes, and muttered to himself as if he had an understanding: "He is not sick sooner or later, but he fell ill when I was about to recall him back to Handan, could it be that there is fraud in it?" ”

"No, if he is cheating, I'm afraid he won't be able to hide it for long, and after the imperial doctor arrives at the land of Shenqi, the lie will be self-defeating."

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

However, it was said that Lian Po commanded 50,000 troops to attack Wei, and many people were not optimistic about this expedition, and it was difficult to capture Chongyi Fanyang with only 50,000 soldiers and horses, and even many generals made suggestions to Lian Po, asking him to ask King Zhao for more 50,000 soldiers and horses.

Lian Po didn't care, and said: "If Xinlingjun is still in the court, with the prestige of Xinlingjun, supplemented by the strength of Wei Wushu, it will be difficult to withstand Wei He if he raises 100,000 soldiers and horses." ”

"Now the king of Wei is not rewarded for his merits, he is jealous and does not use talents, he has lost the hearts of the people, and the generals who can fight in the court and China will go to seven or eight, and the military soldiers of Wei are also uneven for Xinling Jun, and they have no fighting spirit."

"Today's King Wei has lost the hearts of the people, he will have no intention of making meritorious service and being knighted, and the soldiers will not dare to fight to the death.

Obviously, the comprehension of the art of war has reached a very deep level, knowing that war not only depends on the soldiers and generals on both sides, but also depends on whether the politics of both sides are clear and whether the soldiers dare to fight.

It was precisely when Lian Po saw the current predicament of Wei that he dared to attack Wei with only 50,000 soldiers and horses.

As expected, Lian quite expected.

When he led the army to Fanyang City, he defeated the Wei army in the first battle.

Fanyang defenders lost the first battle, coupled with the lack of fighting spirit, in the face of the momentum of the Zhao army, did not dare to fight with the world's famous general Lian Po, actually abandoned the city and left, Lian Po easily captured Chongyi Fanyang.

Before the battle of the Yan Dynasty, Lian Po was already one of the few famous generals in the world, and the battle of the Yan Dynasty pushed Lian Po to the altar.

It's just that in the past few years, due to the rise of Li Mu and Zhao Jia, coupled with Zhao Yan's introduction of Lecheng to divide his military power in order to suppress Lian Po, Lian Po has no chance to make a meritorious service.

Zhao Wangdan knew that Lian Po was a fierce tiger, but he didn't expect that this fierce tiger was so fierce.

When Bai got up and died, Wang Jian had not yet risen, and Li Mu was just showing his edge, Lian Po, who had reached his peak, was definitely the first general in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lian Po's current fame is worth 100,000 troops.

Zhao Wangdan's political skills are good, but his understanding of military affairs is much worse.

Then it is doomed, if you want to use this defeat as an excuse to suppress Lian Po, it will be impossible to achieve, but because of Lian Po's successive battles, his prestige will far overshadow Zhao Yan, who has just ascended the throne.

If there is no change, it will inevitably form a situation in which the lord is weak and the minister is strong.

However, it was said that after Lian Po pulled out Fanyang, he did not stop the army, but crossed the Yellow River at night, conquered Yin'an, the northwest gateway of Wei, within three days, and captured the Yin'an guards.

With the bridgehead of Yin'an, Lian Po can defend Fanyang without worry, and he can attack the cities of Wei State, and he has occupied the absolute initiative.

Once a barrier on the south bank of the Yellow River, this battleground will be the beginning of Lian Po's glory.

Yin'an is the junction of Zhao, Wei and Qi, and when Yin'an fell, not only Wei shook the country, but even Qi was a little panicked.

In recent years, Zhao has won successive battles, and there are good generals like Lian Po, except for Qin, no country dares to compete with Zhao.

On the one hand, the king of Wei sent troops to the north to resist Lian Po, and on the other hand, he sent envoys to Handan with generous gifts, and promised to cede Fanyang, asking King Zhao to order Lian Po to withdraw his troops.

Inside the city of Yin'an.

Lian Po sat on the main seat, and the generals were divided into left and right.

Yin Anshou was escorted in with his hands tied, Wei Li's hair was scattered, and his armor was also stripped off, and he was only wearing a dirty lining, which was extremely embarrassing.

"I let you treat each other politely, why do you treat General Wei Li like this!"

Seeing this, Lian Po got up and scolded the left and right, and personally stepped forward to untie Wei Li and dress him.

"The general of the defeated army, how can he be so courteous to the general!"

Wei Li did not show arrogance, but his face was full of shame, and he treated Lian Po with great respect.

Lian Po was not domineering, but sighed: "Gongzi Wuji has a great favor to my Zhao country, so even if the king of Wei rebelled and did not cede Fanyang as promised, my king did not send troops to take it." ”

"It's a pity that the King of Wei is jealous of the virtuous and can, for the son of Wuji such a virtuous talent, not only is there no merit, but the mill is killed and the donkey is killed, my Zhao country is all for the son of Wuji feel unfair, the king only ordered me to send troops to fight it, not only to seize the former King of Wei promised to the sun, but also for the son of Wuji to uphold justice."

When Wei Li heard Lian Po's words, his face showed sadness, obviously touched by Lian Po's words, and felt worthless for Gongzi Wuji.

It is no exaggeration to say that many people in Wei know Gongzi Wuji but do not know King Wei.

Gongzi Wuji is the pride of all Wei people, so when Gongzi Wuji is treated unfairly, the King of Wei will be greatly disappointed.
