"Why did the Admiral say that?"

Lecheng was reprimanded by Lian Po in person, and his face was a little unbearable, and he did not back down and questioned.

Lian Po just glanced at Le Cheng, and didn't pay much attention to it, but saluted King Zhao again.

"Although Qin has two major defeats, the national strength is still there."

"Zhao and Wei Alliance, if they break the treaty, they will lose their trust in the world, and if Wei is unwilling to give up, so that Zhao and Wei will fight endlessly, it will not be beneficial to the country."

"The six countries of Kwantung are now dependent on each other, and if they rashly attack Wei, they will definitely give the Qin State an opportunity to take advantage of, and please think twice."

Le Cheng sneered: "The general's words are wrong, the Wei State broke its promise and did not cede Fanyang first, how can the people of the world say that my Zhao State is treacherous?" ”

"And the court of the Qin State is unstable, the scholars of the Six Kingdoms compete for power and profit with the Qin people, and the King of Qin is young and has not been able to take power, how can I be killed!"

Lian Po retorted: "Wei's cession of Fanyang is just a verbal promise, although we know it, the people of the world don't know, and if we rush to cut it down, everyone will think that I, Zhao Guo, are deliberately looking for an excuse to cut down Wei'er." ”

"Although the two factions of Qin are fighting, if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, Lü Buwei and Meng Fu will not lead their troops east to win meritorious deeds, and then transfer the contradictions in the court of Qin."

Speaking of this, Lian Po suddenly bowed to King Zhao again, and said: "The three Jin Dynasty were originally a family, and they hated Wei for the land of a city, so that the two countries had a grudge from now on, this is an unwise move, and please think twice!" ”

Lian Po's words are reasonable and well-founded, even the generals of Zhao State, who are just beginning to move, are in line with their words at this time.

Although King Zhao wants to get Fanyang, he also knows that he can't lose big because of a small thing.

"Having said that, if the king of Wei rebelled first, and the widow envoy followed, if he let it go, wouldn't the people of Wei think that the widow could be bullied?"

Lian Po said: "The king can let out the rumors, just say that he wants to raise an army to attack Wei, and the king of Wei will inevitably be frightened when he learns about it, and then send an envoy to the state of Chu, so that the Chu people can make peace, and the king can also save face!" ”

At this moment, the crown prince Zhao Yan said: "Now that the domestic army is strong and strong, and the grain and grass are sufficient, if you don't take advantage of the dormant time of the Qin State to expand and develop, how can you be the enemy after the Qin Dynasty is stable?" ”

"According to the opinion of the sons, since the six countries of Kwantung are cold in their lips and teeth, they can't use swords and soldiers in vain, so it is better to raise troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north to prevent future troubles."

"General Li Mu has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for many years, and the soldiers are recuperating and recuperating, and they are expected to be able to fight a war."

Lian Po heard this, but he didn't say anything more.

The Xiongnu have been in trouble for a long time, and pacifying the Xiongnu is also Lian Po's ambition in his life, and Zhao Yan is right, Zhao should indeed take the opportunity to expand.

What's more, Lecheng belongs to Zhao Yan's faction, Lian Po has already refuted it once, if he refutes Zhao Yan again, I am afraid that the relationship between the two will deteriorate even more, which is not done by a wise man.

King Zhao frowned slightly, looking a little hesitant.

At the beginning, the king of Zhao was afraid of Li Mu like a tiger, so he was requisitioned back to Handan, and stationed in the northern frontier with other generals to resist the Xiongnu.

The new change will change Li Mu's passive defensive strategy, and when he finds that the Xiongnu have entered the country, he will hunt and kill them on a large scale.

It's just begun, and it's really made some gains.

But later, the Huns relied on the speed advantage of the cavalry to come and go like the wind, not only teasing the defenders of northern Xinjiang, but also taking the opportunity to kill many defenders of Zhao and plundered a lot of money and grain.

It was only then that the soldiers and civilians of Northern Xinjiang realized the benefits of Li Mu's garrison in the border fortress, and strongly wrote to the king of Zhao to order Li Mu to return to the frontier.

King Zhao had no choice but to repeatedly ask Li Muguan to be reinstated, and finally even promised Li Mu that he could continue the previous passive defense strategy, which allowed Li Mu to return to his post in northern Xinjiang.

If King Zhao agrees to Zhao Yan's request today, he will definitely go back on his word and make Li Mu change his previous strategy towards the Xiongnu.

It's just that today's Zhao Guobing is strong and strong, and it is indeed suitable for foreign use.

As if he had seen through what King Zhao was thinking, Zhao Yan suggested again: "Although General Li Mu is a good general of the country, he is only good at defense, and there are good generals and Wu Xiangjun in the current dynasty. ”

"In this way, not only will not lose trust in General Li Mu, but also allow the generals who are better at attacking to command the troops, which can be described as the best of both worlds."

When King Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.

Le Cheng also stepped forward and said: "The prince's words are very good, but the Huns are mostly cavalry, if they are attacked with foot soldiers, even if they can be broken, it is difficult to gain too much." ”

"According to the minister's opinion, the king should not order Gongzijia to command the cavalry of Shenqi and go to the north to help in the war."

When Lian Po heard this, he suddenly woke up.

At first, Lian Po did not object to the suggestion of sending troops to the Xiongnu, but when Zhao Yan said that he wanted to replace Li Mu, Lian Po faintly felt that something was wrong.

It was only at this time that Lian Po realized that Zhao Yan wanted to use the attack on the Xiongnu as an excuse to first seize the military power of Li Mu, who was friendly with Zhao Jia, and then lure Zhao Jia out of the land of Shenqi.

If Zhao Jia led the troops out of the land of Shenqi, he would lose his greatest support, and the grain, grass, and baggage would depend on Handan, and Zhao Yan could knead Zhao Jia at will.

Zhao Yan also has a great possibility to take away the cavalry under Zhao Jia's command.

Thinking of this, Lian Po's face was slightly gloomy.

Although Li Mu is better with Zhao Jia, he is not good enough to be able to go to the soup for him.

Rao is like this, Zhao Yan wants to seize his military power.

So Lian Po, who grew up watching Zhao Jia, is also a master and a father to Zhao Jia, and the relationship between the two is extremely close.

If Li Mu is robbed of military power, Zhao Yan's next target will definitely be Lian Po himself.

Thinking of this, Lian Po hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The minister thinks that this move is very inappropriate!" ”

King Zhao's cloudy eyes flickered a little, and he asked out loud, "What's wrong?" ”

Lian Po took a deep breath and said: "Using troops against the Huns is the great plan of the country, and the ministers have nothing to do." ”

"However, the prince wants to replace General Li Mu, but he can't."

"General Li Mu's talent in commanding the army, not under the ministers, in the past, the county was able to hold back 200,000 Yan troops, and bought enough time for the ministers to break through the chestnut belly, which is also the merit of General Li Mu."

Speaking of this, Lian Po glanced at Le Cheng and continued: "Even in the battle of breaking the 200,000 Yan army, General Li Mu also made a great contribution. ”

"Although the minister doesn't know why General Li Mu doesn't invite merit, he also knows his ability to command troops."

"And General Li Mu has been stationed in northern Xinjiang for several years, and he is like an arm in command of his subordinates, and he also knows a lot about various matters of the Xiongnu."

"If you rashly change the general to fight with the Huns, I am afraid that you will repeat the mistakes of the past years!"

After listening to Lian Po's words, Le Cheng's face was gloomy as water.

The reason why he was named Wuxiangjun was indeed because of Li Mu's contribution, otherwise it would never have been possible to win the merit of breaking the 200,000 Yan army.

This is the most taboo thing for Lecheng to talk about, but today it was said by Lian Po in front of all the courtiers, and Lecheng naturally resented.

King Zhao pondered for a long time and asked, "Then the general thinks that Li Mu, who strongly advocates passive defense, can take on the heavy task of attacking the Xiongnu?" ”

Lian Po said solemnly: "For the Huns, no one knows more than General Li Mu. ”

"If he thinks that he can do it, he will be able to do his best; If he thinks that it is impossible to cut down, he thinks that the time has not yet come. ”

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country should not be rashly decided, please consult General Li Mu first, and then discuss the Northern Expedition to the Huns."
