Chapter 44: Return to Yan

"Report!"

As soon as Zhao Jia ordered the soldiers and horses, a scout rode over, and his face was full of panic.

"What happened?"

Zhao Jia had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

The scout looked frightened and said, "The general has rebelled, not only has the generals been detained, but even the crown prince has been reduced to a prisoner!" ”

Zhao Jia was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" ”

"Report!"

Zhao Jia hadn't recovered from the shock yet, and there was a scout to report quickly.

"The general waved the banner of the Qing monarch's side, led the troops towards Yanyi, and wanted to lead the capture of this city, and then lead the army back to Handan to seek justice!"

At this time, not only Zhao Jia's face was as pale as earth, but all the Zhao people who heard the news were like this.

As for Meng Le, the general of the Yan Kingdom, his eyes were shining at this time.

"How so?"

"How so!"

Zhao Jia was a little depressed, and this time he was really at a loss.

"I vaguely remember that after my father came to the throne in history, he forced Lian Po to rebel, not at this time!"

Zhao Jia suddenly felt that everything was beyond his control.

He was even a little skeptical.

Is it because of his arrival that it led to the butterfly effect, so that Lian Po was forced to rebel in advance.

"No way!"

But soon, Zhao Jia shook his head.

According to Zhao Jia's plan, when King Zhao learned that Zhongshan's hometown had fallen, no matter how angry he was, he would definitely not relieve Lian Po of his military power at this time.

On the contrary, King Zhao will also fully support Lian Po, let him complete his plan, and then break the Yan army.

The fact is: King Zhao was furious and not only wanted to replace Lian Po, but even killed Lian Po's most beloved young son.

Zhao Jia has verified that Lian Po's youngest son was indeed killed, not acting.

"Could it be that the heavens are dying of my Zhao Kingdom?"

The more Zhao Jia thought about it, the more confused he felt.

In the end, he even had strong doubts in his heart about whether he could not change the fate of Zhao being destroyed at all.

"Didn't Zhao Gen command the guards of the three thousand royal cities, these soldiers are all loyal to the royal family, why would they surrender without a fight?"

Just when Zhao Jia's heart was in turmoil, Zhao Yan yelled.

The scout replied: "The crown prince originally commanded the three thousand royal city guards, but only five hundred people were brought into the barracks, and after being besieged by the general, the five hundred royal city guards wanted to resist to the death, but they were stopped by Zhao Gan. ”

"Zhao Gen surrendered, and Lian Po used Zhao Gen to incorporate another 2,500 Praetorian Guards."

Zhao Yan roared: "Zhao Gen is a disciple of the clan, how can he give in!" ”

Zhao Jia, who was in a state of confusion and his eyes were scattered, suddenly flashed in his mind when he heard this, and his eyes became clear.

"Childe, should we send troops to rescue the prince!"

Zhao Fan hurriedly asked.

Zhao Jia took a deep breath, tried not to think about these troubles, and said: "Now that the situation is unclear, close the city gate first and wait and see what happens." ”

Then, he set his eyes on Meng Le again, and his eyes became extremely complicated.

At the beginning, Zhao Jia also wanted to copy the allusion of Jiang Gan's book theft in disguise, and used Meng Le to pass on false news to King Yan to lure the Yan army commander to drive straight into the encirclement of the Zhao army.

But he didn't expect that now he really needs this person to meet King Yan and delay the time for the Yan army to attack.

"In any case, we must deal with the matter of the teacher first."

Zhao Jia has already made up his mind to quietly go out of the city to meet Lian Po and figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

Yan military camp.

Chestnut looked at the information in his hand, and always felt that something was not real.

He didn't expect that Zhao Guo would be in chaos at this time, and he didn't expect Lian Po to rebel.

"Is there any fraud in it?"

By this time, Chestnut became suspicious instead.

At the beginning, Li Belly suggested that the whole country attack Zhao, and he was extremely concerned about attacking Zhao.

In the past, the chestnut belly was blocked by Zhao Jia in Guyi, and he was extremely anxious in his heart, and he was almost relieved of his military power by King Yan.

At that time, Chestnut was desperate to win, desperate for great results.

But now, chestnut belly has led the Yan army to conquer the entire Zhongshan, and the richest place in Zhao has been included in the bag.

Zhao Jia originally thought that the chestnut belly would definitely be extremely swollen at this time, leading the Yan army to drive straight in.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the chestnut belly, who had obtained such brilliant results, began to look forward and be timid.

In the eyes of the chestnut, no one has been able to surpass his contribution to Zhongshan, and the position of Xiangguo has been completely retained.

Even if King Yan and even the generals of Yan Kingdom wanted to continue to expand the results of the battle, Chestnut began to be cautious.

He wanted to consolidate the gains he had won first, and then encroach on the Zhao State step by step.

Li belly is a politician, and he knows very well in his heart that even if Yan can break through Handan, the rest of the countries will definitely not sit idly by and watch Yan annex Zhao.

On the contrary, if you accept it when you see it, you can get the rich land of Zhongshan, so that Yan will become a strong country from now on.

But now, the domestic situation in Zhao has changed dramatically.

The entire Zhao Kingdom is like a stripped beauty, allowing the Yan Kingdom to come and grab it.

At this time, no one can stand it.

"Xiangguo, this is the third time that the king has sent people to urge our army to attack Yanyi!"

A certain Yan general took the edict in his hand and handed it to the chestnut.

Chestnut took the edict and couldn't help frowning as he looked at the increasingly harsh wording inside.

He knew that his neglect during this period of time had already made King Yan dissatisfied.

"Send someone back to the king, and say that I will command the three armies in the near future and go to attack Yanyi."

Chestnut rubbed his brows and said helplessly.

"Report!"

At this moment, a herald rushed in, with a happy look on his face.

"What?"

Chestnut asked.

The herald replied: "General Meng Le has returned, and it is said that there is an important military report. ”

Chestnut was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Quickly invite him in!" ”

The reason why Li Belly was so happy was because Meng Le had been captured by the Zhao army for many days, and he must have known the situation of the Zhao army well.

Although the news from the secret agents of the Yan Kingdom from all over the country pointed out that the Zhao State had begun civil strife, the scheming chestnut belly was still a little suspicious after all.

At this juncture, when Meng Le came back, why didn't the chestnut belly rejoice?

"The general of the defeated army, I hope that the country will forgive the sins!"

As soon as Meng Le came in, he knelt on the ground and saluted his chestnut.

"Haha, it's good to come back alive!"

At this time, where would Li Belly think about Meng Le's, he just wanted to know what was going on in the city and whether Lian Po was really rebellious.

After a few words of greeting, Li Belly deliberately asked: "You are in Shanyi, how can you escape back here?" ”

Meng Le's face was slightly red, and he said, "The last general was able to survive this time, but it depends on the Will of Xiangguo!" ”

"Xiangguo fought and conquered the entire territory of Zhongshan, so that the court of Zhao State was shaken, and King Zhao was angry and blamed Lian Po."

"Lian Po was angry that King Zhao was unconscious, regardless of the overall situation, he changed the commander twice before the battle, and his most beloved young son was killed, so he rebelled angrily."

"Even the crown prince Zhao Yan was captured by Lian Po."

When he heard this, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Is the situation true?" ”
