Zhao Wang Dan's soldiers opened up a hundred miles of territory without blood, established a thousand years of meritorious deeds, and was very happy in his heart. and asked Pingyuan Jun to lead an army of 50,000 to accept the party, but he didn't waste much strength. Zhao Guo will be on the party and firmly control it.

At first, Zhao Wangdan accepted the party, fearing that the Qin State would attack Zhao and make him restless.

When Zhao Wangdan received the letter from Pingyuan Jun and learned that the Qin State had not moved, his uneasy heart was finally steady.

Zhao Wangdan saw that it was a foregone conclusion that Shangdang would become the territory of Zhao State, and said loudly to the ministers: "Shangdang belongs to our country, and the widow has newly gained a hundred miles of territory, and he will add more merits to his descendants." ”

Although the courtiers of Zhao State couldn't understand it, the Qin State did not get the party, and they did not use force to snatch it. However, seeing that the Shangdang had become the territory of Zhao State, he congratulated in unison: "God bless Zhao State." ”

Zhao Wangdan listened to the cheers of the courtiers, and the whole person also floated. Zhao Wang Dan said in his heart: "The widow has taken away the party of the Qin State." If the King of Qin is not angry at the party, it is not the King of Qin, who is afraid of the strength of the Zhao State. It is said that the Qin State is a country of tigers and wolves, but that's it. ”

Zhao Wangdan remembered that since he succeeded to the throne, he was assisted by Empress Zhao Wei, Pingyuan Jun, and many virtuous ministers and good generals. first took the initiative to better Qi and dismantle the feud between the two countries; Then, Lianqi, repelled the Qin state, recovered the lost territory, and defended the honor of the previous king; Then, in exchange for the land of Jidong, Anping Juntian Dan was used as a general to conquer the Yan Kingdom. After the Yan War, An Pingjun stayed in the Zhao State and became his capital chief.

Today, without bloodshed, he has won the party in South Korea, opened up a hundred miles of territory for Zhao State, and established a great cause, which is really unprecedented. Zhao Wangdan remembered the dream he had, and remembered that he had achieved such a great achievement at a young age, and said in his heart: "The widow will fly to the sky and become the son of heaven." ”

Zhao Wangdan won the party, which stimulated his ambitions.

On this day, Zhao Wangdan discussed with the courtiers how to better manage the party. The ministers worked together and offered advice. Some people advocated that the military and civilians of Shangdang should be relocated to the Zhao State itself. Some people advocate that capable ministers should be dispatched to govern. The ministers said a lot, but Zhao Wangdan did not agree.

Zhao Wangdan did not agree with the courtiers' opinions, that was because Zhao Wangdan and Pingyuan Jun made an agreement in private.

Before Pingyuan Jun accepted the party, Zhao Wangdan had a conversation with him and asked: "How should our country be managed when we have the land of the party." ”

Pingyuan Jun learned how to manage the newly opened territory from his father and brother since he was a child, and proposed: "Your Majesty, can you make an agreement with your ministers?" ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "Uncle, please speak." ”

Pingyuan Jun said: "The affairs of the party should be managed by the military and civilians of the party themselves. ”

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he thought for a long time and asked: "The party and the people manage the party, and my country's acceptance of the party is equivalent to nothing, so what's the point?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Wangdan couldn't figure it out, Pingyuan Jun said patiently: "The king let the party and the people and manage the party himself, which can not only show that my country can accommodate all rivers, but also show that my country has no suspicion of the party and the people. In this way, the people of the party will integrate into our country and become the people of our country. ”

Seeing that Zhao Wangdan did not speak, Pingyuan Jun said again: "The king sent people to manage the party, the minister is effective, and can serve the people, and treat the party and the people well, which is acceptable." If the ministers sent are virtuous, they will oppress the people of the party. If the Shangdang army and people are not treated well, they will rebel. If you go to the party, you will also gain and lose. The minister believes that the above party, the military and the people manage the party, and this is the best way. ”

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he also felt that what Ping Yuanjun said was very reasonable. Zhao Wangdan also believed in Pingyuanjun's judgment, and Yun Luo said: "As my uncle said, go to the party and the people, and manage the party." ”

How to manage the new territory of the Shangdang was discussed by the courtiers for many days. However, Zhao Wangdan couldn't say it clearly, so he wanted to suppress this matter. At this moment, a scout with a black flag on his back poured into Handan, shouting in his mouth: "Emergency military situation." ”

The scout walked quickly to Congtai Palace, holding the military information sent back from the front line with both hands, met Zhao Wangdan, and shouted: "The Qin State sent troops to attack Shangdang." The Shangdang could not resist the offensive of the Qin army, and the king of Pingyuan asked his ministers to come back and ask the king for help. ”

When Zhao Guoqun's ministers heard this, they were in an uproar.

When Zhao Wang Dan heard that Qin Guo had invaded the party, he saw that the scout was holding a letter asking for help from Pingyuan Jun, and shouted, "Submit it quickly." ”

The eunuch Ling stepped forward to take the letter asking for help from the scout and forwarded it to Zhao Wangdan. Zhao Wangdan saw the letter, which was sealed intact and the information was not leaked. Zhao Wangdan opened the ink sealed on the letter, looked at the content of the letter, and his expression changed greatly.

The courtiers did not know what was written in the letters. However, from Zhao Wangdan's expression, they could conclude that the battle situation on the front line was not optimistic.

Pingyang Jun saw that Zhao Wangdan had read the letter for a long time, did not speak, and asked, "Your Majesty, what does the letter say?" ”

Zhao Wangdan put away the letter, calmed his mind, faced the courtiers, and said the content of the letter, "The Qin State sent 200,000 troops to attack me and join the party." The Qin army attacked fiercely, and Shangdang had seventeen yi, and had already lost six yi. ”

"What." When Pingyang Jun heard this, his eyes widened, "Shangdang, we lost Liuyi." ”

Zhao Wangdan nodded, and said: "The Shangdang army and people can't resist the offensive of the Qin army, Pingyuan Jun sent a letter asking for help, asking the widow to send troops to help the Shangdang quickly." ”

"The minister said that accepting the party is equivalent to an undeclared war with the Qin State." Pingyang Jun said: "The king accepts the words of the minister, and if he does not accept the party, there will be no current war." ”

"Accepting the party is the idea of the widow. If the Qin State wants to fight, our country will accompany it. Zhao Wangdan did not question the decree he made, he also believed that his choice was correct, and said in a firm tone: "The Qin State has bullied me for a long time, and now, send 200,000 troops to attack me to join the party." Whether it is tolerable or intolerable, the widow does not need to endure it anymore. The widow also wants to know that the Qin State is really as invincible as rumored. ”

Zhao Wangdan expressed his attitude, and the courtiers had nothing to say.

Zhao Wangdan turned to the courtiers and asked, "The Qin State sent troops to attack my party, everyone, what do you say to do?" ”

The generals of Zhao State said in unison: "Fight." ”

"Okay." Zhao Wangdan had the support of many generals, and his confidence increased greatly, and he shouted loudly: "The widow has long wanted to fight with the Qin State, who is willing to lead the troops to fight with the Qin State." ”

Who can fight the most in Zhao State, there is no doubt that it is Po Yan, the minister who saved the Sheji of Qi State, and the capital Changjun Tiandan, who retreated from Qin and defeated Yan and worshiped the prime minister. As soon as Zhao Wangdan's words fell, everyone's eyes converged on Du Changjun. Du Changjun felt the eyes from all directions, and he also felt pressure.

Du Changjun faced King Zhao and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the Qin State has raised 200,000 troops to attack me and join the party." The Qin State attacked fiercely, and our country lost Liuyi. In this battle, we must not be careless. ”

Zhao Wangdan saw that Du Changjun did not take the initiative to ask for battle, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Because of this, those who rush to the aid of the party should not be careless. If Ma Fujun is here, it would be great. ”

Du Changjun heard the meaning of Zhao Wangdan's words, and his face remained unchanged and said: "Minister, I want to take the initiative to ask for my life, send troops to ask for help from the party, and repel the Qin State." ”

When Zhao Wangdan heard this, his face softened, and when he was about to take him as his general, he heard Du Changjun's words change, "Minister, old, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it." These days, the minister's body is not as good as day by day. It's all to blame on the minister's body, and it's not angry! ”

Zhao Wangdan looked at Du Changjun and indeed found that the other party was much older. Zhao Wangdan looked at Du Changjun's figure, and he didn't get angry because of the other party's words. Rescuing the Shangdang and repelling the Qin army was a big deal. Du Changjun took command of the expedition, but he would miss a big event.

Zhao Wang Dan saw that Du Changjun was not competent, and looked at the generals in the court, but did not find a suitable candidate.

Du Changjun politely rejected King Zhao, and proposed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks there is a suitable person. ”

"Who." Zhao Wangdan asked.

Du Changjun raised his voice and said: "The person who the minister wants to recommend is also known to the king." ”

Zhao Wangdan thought about it, but couldn't think of who the other party would recommend, so he asked directly: "Du Changjun, who do you recommend for the widow." ”

Seeing that Zhao Wangdan didn't expect that person, and seeing that Zhao Wangdan was impatient, Du Changjun said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, there are many generals that my country can fight. However, who is the most capable of fighting and serving the generals in our country. ”

A figure of a person appeared in Zhao Wangdan's mind, and he said loudly: "You are talking about the old general Lian Po." ”

"The person recommended by the minister is the old general Lian Po." Du Changjun said again: "The old general Lian Po and the old minister Lin are like the right-hand men of the previous king. Cutting down Qin, it is none other than the old general Lianpo. ”

Zhao Wangdan was a little bit Changjun, and he remembered the bravery of Lian Po and Qi and the princes. To cut Qin, the first choice in Zhao Wangdan's heart was Ma Fujun. It's a pity that Ma Fujun has followed the former king. The second choice in Zhao Wangdan's heart is Du Changjun. However, Zhao Wangdan looked at Du Changjun who was dying of old age, and he was sick and incompetent.

Zhao Wangdan thought about it, who else could fight and convince the public in the court, except for Lian Po.

Zhao Wangdan made up his mind in his heart, took Lian Po as the general, looked into the crowd, but found no trace of Lian Po, and shouted: "Where is Lian Po." ”

Pingyang Jun reminded: "Your Majesty, don't forget. Lian Po, an old general, is sick. The king asked the old general Lian Po to recuperate in the mansion. ”

Zhao Wangdan was reminded by Pingyang Junyi, and instantly remembered that three days ago, Lian Po took leave due to illness. Zhao Wangdan saw that the Qin State was attacking rapidly, and the party was in danger, and he couldn't control it so much, so he ordered the eunuch: "You go and call Lian Po quickly." ”

"Lian Po, meet my king." As soon as Zhao Wangdan's words fell, a sound of tiger drinking came into the hall.

Zhao Wangdan heard this familiar voice and looked in the direction of the outside of the hall. After a while, Lian Po dressed in a military uniform walked in. Lian Po walked up to the front and saluted, "Minister, meet my king." ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "Old General Lian Po, isn't he sick." Why, entered the palace. ”

Lian Po said: "Qin Guo will attack me to join the party, minister, although I am sick, I will also enter the palace." ”

Zhao Wangdan asked: "Qin Guohua and I went to the party, the old general Lian Po, what do you think?" ”

Lian Po shouted: "Fight." ”

"That's what the widow means." When Zhao Wangdan heard this, he was a little more confident, and said: "Old General Lianpo, who should the widow take as the general, rush to the aid of the party, repel the Qin army, and defend my territory." ”

Lian Po clasped his hands into fists and said sharply: "Minister, I am willing to go." ”

"Good. Lian Po is an old general, worthy of the first king and the widow's general. Zhao Wangdan changed his words and asked again: "Old General Lian Po, against the 200,000 Qin army, what chance of victory." ”

Lian Po asked, "Who is the commander of the Qin State?" ”

Zhao Wangdan replied: "Wang Di." ”

"Wang Di?" Lian Po asked, "I have never heard of this person." ”

Zhao Wangdan said: "The widow doesn't know who this person is. ”

Lian Po laughed and said, "Qin Guo has no generals? Actually used a nameless general. ”

Zhao Wangdan asked, "Do any of you know Wang Di, who is it?" ”

Du Changjun said: "Wang Yi, the minister knows a little. This person is good at using soldiers, and with his military merits, King Qin named him the chief of the left. The king of Qin took Wang Di as his general and attacked me to join the party. From this point of view, his ability to use troops is not weaker than that of Wu Anjun Baiqi. ”

"King Qin doesn't use the famous Wu Anjun to get up in vain, but he actually uses the unfamous Wang Di?" Lian Po said lightly: "The generals around King Qin are far less than the period of the Marquis!" ”

"In this battle, the old general Lian Po has a few chances of winning." Zhao Wangdan didn't care who Wang Di was and what he was capable of. What he wants to know is what will happen to Lian Po against Wang Di.

"The king of Qin took Wu Anjun as his general and attacked me to the party. Minister, there are still some concerns. The minister's opponent is the nameless Wang Di, and the minister has no worries. Lian Po said confidently: "Although the minister is not completely sure, he will defeat the Qin army." The minister will not let our army lose to the Qin army. Ministers, able to keep the Qin army out of the country. ”

"Okay." Zhao Wangdan had Lian Po's words, and suddenly, his confidence increased greatly, and he said loudly: "At noon tomorrow, the widow will build a high platform, worship the old general Lian Po as a general, lead the army to the battle, gallop to the aid of the party, repel the Qin army, and guard my mountains and rivers." Lian Po, an old general, taught the Qin State a good lesson for the widow. ”
