"Don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine." Although Lian Po knew that Lin Xiangru's body was getting worse day by day, he felt a little sad when he thought that this best friend would leave him at any time. However, Lian Po couldn't say anything frustrating, and said with a kind look in his eyes: "Zhao Guo doesn't have you, I'm not comfortable." ”

Lin Xiangru already knew about his physical condition. He didn't want to talk about it at this moment, and he didn't want this old friend to worry about him. His life is quite colorful and has lived up to his youth. He also knows that people can fight with people, but they can't fight with the sky.

This day will come sooner or later. O man! Learn to accept your fate.

Lin Xiangru remembered that he came to this world and met a king who appreciated him. He also contributed to the king and the country, and even lived out his own life and left a name for future generations. At the moment, he still can't let go.

Lin Xiangru took a breath of change, and said with a relaxed expression: "The king replaced you, and he can't blame others, blame yourself for not being angry." ”

Lian Po just wanted to say a few words and refute it, but he heard Lin Xiangru say again: "Not to mention that they were all defeated in several battles, they lost Gaoping Fortress, Erxiang City, and Guangwolf City, and lost many soldiers." You personally guarded it, and you also lost the line of defense on the west side of the Dan River. With your level, how can you fight a war of attrition with the Qin State. ”

Lian Po drank a bottle of wine and said heavily: "You think I want to fight with the Qin State and take passive defense." I really had no choice but to choose to defend as an offense. ”

Lin Xiangru heard the helplessness in Lian Po's words, and sighed: "Listening to your words, I have encountered difficulties. ”

"I led an army of 200,000 to the aid of the party. I originally wanted to take advantage of Qin's unstable foothold and seize the initiative on the battlefield. Lian Po punched on the case, and the wine in the wine bottle also overflowed, "However, the combat effectiveness of the Qin State is extremely strong, far beyond my imagination." When I arrived in Shangdang, Shangdang City had already been lost. In the first battle, our army was defeated, and our troops were defeated. I can't help it, so I choose to fight a war of attrition! ”

Lin Xiangru had dealt with the Qin State and knew how terrible the Qin army was. Especially in the past 30 years, the Qin army has stood out from the crowd, conquering the princes, winning more and losing less. Lin Xiangru sympathetically said: "I also know the combat effectiveness of the Qin State. In this battle, you fought hard, and you were wronged. ”

"I'm aggrieved, it's nothing. After all, it was I who fought unfavorably, which led to great chaos in the army's mind. In order to stabilize morale and not be defeated by the Qin army in a battle. I could only change my tactics and go on the offensive and defensive, and I was forced to go on the defensive. Lian Po thought of the beloved generals who died in battle, and said sadly: "I sacrificed a few beloved generals and captains to stabilize my position on the east side of the Dan River, and Qin people can't take a step forward." Xu Lian, Sima Lang, etc., that's my favorite general! ”

"Xu Lian, Sima Lang and other men, they are all good." Lin Xiangru said: "A good man should throw his head, spill blood, and die on the battlefield." ”

"Yes! They're all good. Lian Po said, his cheeks couldn't help but leave two lines of tears.

Lin Xiangru saw that Lian Po couldn't defeat the Qin army and regain the lost territory, and asked, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the Qin army has become so powerful?" ”

Lian Po said: "The Qin army is even more powerful than we imagined. The Qin army is no longer the Qin army of ten years. However, we are still living in the past of defeating the Qin army. The Qin army is the army of tigers and wolves, and it is really so! ”

Lin Xiangru believed in Lian Po's judgment, and asked faintly uneasily: "Wang Yi is just the left commander of the Qin army, and he is not prominent in terms of military merits, and his reputation is not known to the princes. You fought with Wang Yu, did you know him before? ”

"Although Wang Ji is the left chief of the Qin State, he has also accumulated step by step by relying on military exploits." Lian Po remembered the scene of the battle with Wang Di, "In terms of attack, I can't beat him." Defensively, he's no match for me. ”

Lin Xiangru heard this, and his face was shocked. He never thought that Lian Po had no confidence in defeating Wang Di. Lin Xiangru calmed down, thought about it for a while, and finally understood. Why is this battle so difficult?

The Qin army captured Shangdang City like a bamboo, and took advantage of the peak of the army to take Gaoping Fortress and Laomaling in one go, and broke through Eryan City and Guangwolf City. If it weren't for Lian Po's rich experience in the battle formation, he would not be afraid of danger and adjust his tactics in time. If not, Lian Po occupies the terrain, and Zhao Guo is afraid that it will collapse with one touch.

Lin Xiangru broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, took a breath of cold air, and stabilized his mind and said: "In the past ten years, the Qin State has developed too fast. But we stood still. The state of Qin is really terrifying. ”

"Isn't it? We are still silent in the victory of defeat of Qin more than ten years ago. We always despise the Qin State and consider them not to be our opponents. As everyone knows, ten years in the east of the river, when you are in the west of the river. "Lian Po has no defense against Lin Xiangru, and he will say whatever he wants.

Lin Xiangru shouted, "It's not good. ”

Lian Po was taken aback by this shout and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Xiangru breathed a little short and said, "Wang Yi, it's already so powerful." There are people in the Qin State who are more powerful than him, and how should we deal with them. ”

Lian Po also guessed who the person Lin Xiangru was talking about, and said with a more solemn expression: "You are talking about Wu Anjun Baiqi." ”

"Hmm." Lin Xiangru nodded, and said: "Bai Qi is known as the most capable person in the Qin State, and he is also known as the god of war. Do you remember the words that have been passed down among the princes? ”

"White rises, ten thousand bones wither." Lian Po said: "How I don't remember. ”

Lin Xiangruo had some clues, and asked in an uneasy tone: "Bai Qi has fought in all directions, more than 30 years, and has broken countless cities, and there has been no defeat. Yi Que broke Han and Wei, and became famous in a war. Break the Yingdu, dig Chu Ling, and merit Wu Anjun. Huayang's first battle added to his achievements. The name of white rises, all the princes are afraid. Why didn't the king of Qin use this person as a general to conquer our country. ”

Lian Po said: "Qin Wangji imprisoned the eight sons of Mi and expelled the four nobles. Bai Qi is also a person who is loyal to the Queen Mother and the Marquis. Qin Wangji was jealous of white rising, used it, and guarded against it. Bai Qi's position in the Qin army is unbreakable, could it be that Qin Wangji wants to suppress Bai Qi and support the new generals. ”

"It's also a possibility." Lin Xiangru said: "Qin Wangji has been able to endure in front of the Empress Dowager and the four nobles for more than 40 years, which is enough to see that this person is not simple. Qin Wangji did not fight with Bai Qi because Qin Wang knew what it meant to take Bai Qi as a general. With Wang Di as a general, you can not only train him, but also test the combat strength of our army. ”

"You mean to say that King Qin deliberately hid the white card?"

"That's what scares me the most." Lin Xiangru said: "In the Battle of Changping, we fought for several years. Our country can't stand it, and the Qin State is not much better. If our country changes generals, Qin State will also change generals. I am afraid that the King of Qin will replace Wang Yi with Bai Qi and attack us. Ma Fuzi vs. Bai Qi, what is the result. ”

Lian Po swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "There is no doubt that you will lose." ”

"Bai Qi is the most capable person in the Qin State. It is known as invincible and invincible. He fought for more than 30 years and broke nearly 70 cities, and Wei had defeats. The world can be compared with Bai Qi, in addition to looking at all the monarchs and Leyi, they are all long Jun Tiandan. I'm afraid no one has achieved such results. Lin Xiangru asked: "If you are against the white, you have a chance of winning." ”

"The odds aren't great, but I still want to fight it." Lian Po's eyes were not afraid, but he also burned with a strong fighting spirit, "I have dragged the Qin State in Changping for so long, just to force the King of Qin to let Bai Qi fight." What a pity! I didn't have a chance to fight him. I also want to know how powerful Bai Qi, who makes the princes of the world frightened. ”

Lin Xiangru doesn't know that he is a general, and what he wants most is to face someone who is stronger than himself. Lian Po and Bai Qi fight, no matter whether they win or lose, they will be famous all over the world. What a pity! Lian Po had no chance to fight Bai Qi.

Wu Anjun of Qin State Bai Qi, Qi and Zhao were crowned kings and worshiped Tian Dan, Zhao Guo's Ma Fujun Zhao Hao, and Yan and Zhao were crowned kings of Le Yi. These people are the most brilliant and outstanding generals of this era. Although these people were in the same era, they could not fight, and it became a regret for the generals and a regret left by history.

Lin Xiangru remembered Bai Qi's achievements, hundreds of thousands of corpses were piled up, and unprecedented fear welled up in his heart, "Bai Qi is addicted to killing, and everywhere he goes, there are rivers of blood. The king of Qin took him as his general and attacked us. Our army is in danger. ”

Lian Po said: "You are worried that King Qin will take Bai Qi as his general." ”

"That's what I'm worried about, too."

"Before leaving, I told Ma Fuzi to pay attention to the movements of the Qin State, especially Wu Anjun Baiqi."

"Do you think Mafuko will listen?"

Lian Po shook his head and said: "Ma Fuzi lives in the shadow of Ma Fujun, and he wants to prove himself too much. He is arrogant and sharp. He won't listen to me. ”

Lin Xiangru also deeply sympathizes, a young man in his twenties and thirties, who has lived in the glory of his father since he was a child, and is thriving. If you are too anxious, you will easily make mistakes. Ordinary people make mistakes, okay. However, the king of a country, the king of a country will make a mistake, and it will be a terrible disaster.

Whether it is Zhao Wangdan who wants to surpass King Zhao Huiwen, or Ma Fuzi who wants to surpass Ma Fujun. This pair of monarchs and ministers are eager to prove themselves.

Lian Po was also worried about the safety of hundreds of thousands of Zhao boys on the front line, and asked, "Let's go and lobby the king." ”

Lin Xiangru shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, your heart is arrogant, how can you listen to our opinions." ”

Seeing this time, Lin Xiangru could still be so calm, and said hurriedly: "Don't we do anything." ”

"The king will not listen to me, and he will not want to see me." Lin Xiangru thought about it and had an idea, "You secretly reminded the king on the grounds of entering the palace to restore your life." ”

"It's fine." Lian Po got up, saluted, and hurried to the palace.

Zhao Wangdan had long known that Lian Po had returned to Handan and did not come to return to his life, but went to see Lin Xiangru. Zhao Wangdan said angrily: "The widow is not as good as Lin Xiang. In Lian Po's eyes, there are widows. ”

The eunuch Ling enlightened: "Lin Xiangru is not in good health. Lian Po and he are close friends. Lian Po hasn't seen Lin Xiangru for a long time, and it is normal for people to go back to Handan and not enter the palace to resume their lives, and to see him. ”

Zhao Wangdan said coldly: "You mean to say that widows are not close to human feelings?" ”

When the eunuch Ling heard this, he hurriedly said: "Minister, that's not what I mean. ”

"What do you mean, the widow understands." Zhao Wangdan said: "Most of the old ministers and fierce generals left by the previous king have high merit and do not accept the widow. No matter what decision the widow wants, they always stand in the way of it. The widow accepted the party, and some people objected. The king proposed to recruit troops in person, but some people objected. The widow sent Zheng Zhu to negotiate peace, and some people objected. Lian Po did not listen to the edict of the widow and went to fight in the Qin State, and someone interceded for him. The widow changed the incorruptible, and Lin Xiangru objected. What do the widows do, so that no one objects. ”

The eunuch Ling saw the hatred in Zhao Wangdan's heart, which had been backlogged for a long time, and it was impossible to vent it in a short time. The eunuch Ling didn't want to upset Zhao Wangdan, so he chose to remain silent.

At this time, a eunuch came in and saluted, "Your Majesty, Lian Po asks to see you." ”

Zhao Wangdan wanted to go to him, but he came by himself, raised his hand and said, "Call him in." ”

Lian Po walked into the main hall and said loudly: "Minister, Lian Po, please meet the king." ”

Zhao Wangdan looked unkind and said, "You're back." ”

Lian Po said: "The king asked Ma to serve the king instead of the minister, how could the minister not come back." ”

Zhao Wangdan listened to Lian Po's words, revealing his unhappiness, and asked: "The widow asked Ma Fujun to replace you, are you dissatisfied." ”

Lian Po said: "The king is the king, and the minister is the minister." Your Majesty, let your ministers do something. The minister will do what he does. ”

Zhao Wangdan didn't expect Lian Po to be able to control his temperament, and asked: "The widow asked you to take the initiative to attack Qin, but you refused to fight." Where has the way of thy courtiers gone? ”

"Minister, guilty." Lian Po didn't want to say more, "Please, the king will condemn you." ”

Zhao Wangdan originally thought that Lian Po would refute a few words, but he didn't expect Lian Po to say such a thing, but he couldn't bear it, "That's it, that's it." The past is not talked about by the widow. I'm glad you're back. You are still a widowed old general. ”

"Thanks, Your Majesty."

Zhao Wangdan smelled a smell of wine and smelled: "You have drunk." ”

"When the minister saw Lin Xiangru, he couldn't control his mouth and drank a few bottles."

Seeing that he was calm, Zhao Wangdan did not pursue it, and waved his hand: "In the past few years, you have worked hard. Go down and rest! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"General Lian will say anything he wants."

"Please beware of the movements of the Qin army, especially Wu Anjun Baiqi."

"The widow knows." Zhao Wangdan raised his hand and said, "You go down!" ”

Lian Po originally wanted to say something, but when he saw that Zhao Wangdan had spoken, he didn't say much, and bowed and retired.

After Zhao Wang Dan saw Lian Po leaving, he also understood what the other party meant, and said lightly: "The King of Qin started a war and did not take Bai Qi as his general, which is enough to prove that Bai Qi is not reused by King Qin." The king of Qin fought in vain, wouldn't it be a slap in the face. Bai Qi can't play. ”

The eunuch ordered: "Your Majesty, Bai Qi is a dangerous person, we must not be careless. ”

"Our scouts have not heard any news that the King of Qin has taken Bai Qi as his general." Zhao Wangdan sighed: "Lin Xiangru is old, and he is also confused. Old General Lian is so bold. ”

The eunuch Ling changed the topic and said: "If the minister can see that the Qin State Baiqi is fighting against our country's capital Changjun Tian Dan, Lian Po and others, what will be the battle situation?" ”

"The widow has a horse to serve the king, you can't see it." Zhao Wangdan also thought that the battle between Du Changjun, Lian Po and Bai Qi would definitely shock the world and cry ghosts and gods, and he was full of emotion, "It's a pity!" We can't see it, and it will become an unsolved mystery and a regret for the ages. ”
