Chapter 112: An Pingjun

In the main hall, all the ministers had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Zhao Kuo entering, they immediately got up and saluted.

"Alright, let's all take a seat." Zhao Kuo waved his hand, during the Warring States Period, there was not so much attention to the relationship between monarchs and ministers, and the relationship between equals was greater than that between superiors and subordinates.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Kuo walked down from above, came to Lou Chang, and bowed.

Said solemnly: "I was able to enter Handan, thanks to Lou Qing's help, if it weren't for Lou Qing, I might still be blocked out of the city now." ”

"The King...... The king was serious. Lou Chang said tremblingly.

The queen didn't hurt the key points in those blows, and after a few days of treatment, Lou Chang was barely able to stand up.

"This king decided to seal Louchang as the king of Anping and fief Yecheng." Zhao Kuo announced.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, their faces were full of surprise, you must know that Yecheng has always been the existence of the accompanying capital in the Wei State, not only has a large population and developed agriculture, but also has a very prosperous business and an endless stream of merchants coming and going.

In the entire Zhao State, only Handan can overpower Yecheng, and even Jinyang and Zhongmu are much worse than them.

Now Zhao Kuo has given the second largest city in Zhao to Lou Chang in this way!

Yu Xin and Le Yi on the side showed a playful smile on their faces, a lively expression.

"Chen Louchang, thank you, the king." Lou Changfu knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly with excitement.

"Lou Qing, please get up, you deserve it." Zhao Kuo helped Lou Chang up.

On the main hall, a picture of the gentleman and the minister, the monarch and the minister are together.

"The king, the minister found out that Lou Chang had secretly communicated with the Qin State." Seeing that the play was almost over, Yu Xin got up and said, his voice like thunder exploded in everyone's ears.

"Oh?" Zhao Kuo raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised.

"The ministers were ordered to strictly investigate the spies of various countries, and it has been determined that there are three ministers who have defected to the Qin State, namely Lou Chang, Zheng Zhu, and Zhao Hao. The minister had already ordered the arrest of Zheng Zhu and Zhao Hao, and sealed off the Lou family, the Zheng family, and Zhao Hao's house, which was the search for correspondence with the Qin State in the homes of the three of them. ”

Yu Xin pointed to a pile of bamboo slips and wooden slips in front of a few eucalyptus and said, and the guards next to him moved them to Zhao Kuo.

In fact, Zhao Kuo has already seen this evidence, and now it's just a matter of going through the process.

After all, even if it is a king, it is impossible to execute a minister at will.

Lou Chang's body shook when he heard this, and he reluctantly raised his head to look at Zhao Kuo, his eyes were full of shock and disbelief!

In the past few days, he has been recuperating in the Tai Hospital, and he has not seen anyone until Zhao Kuo sent someone to carry him to the palace before leaving the Tai Hospital, and he still does not know that his home has been sealed.

Zhao Bao looked at the letter in Zhao Kuo's hand, and his heart suddenly tightened, and he thought of the letter between himself and Lou Xuan. He raised his head to look at Zhao Kuo, just as he collided with Zhao Kuo's gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head weakly.

Zhao Kuo did not ask Zhao Bao, although Yu Xin found the letters exchanged between Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao and Lou Zhuan, but they did not reveal Zhao Guo's secrets.

"In addition, the minister also found a large amount of money from unknown sources in the homes of the three of them, and the minister speculated that the money came from the Qin State." Yu Xin said.

"Is there anything else Lou Qing can say?" Zhao Kuo looked at Lou Chang.

"Now that the king knows...... Why do you want to be a vassal king? Lou Chang muttered.

"This is what the king promised you. In addition, merit is merit and demerit. Zhao Kuo said.

"I understand. The minister had nothing to say, but begged the king to give the minister a death. Lou Changfu knelt on the ground.

He didn't defend himself, and from the moment he became a spy of the Qin State, he had expected this day to come.

Being a spy is originally an extremely risky thing, and if it succeeds, it will be a king. Failed, and the whole family was beheaded.

Fortunately, the Lou family has taken root in the Qin State, and even if his family is wiped out, the Lou family will not be extinct.

"Order that all the Qin State spies found will be executed, and the three clans of Lou Chang, Zheng Zhu, and Zhao Hao will raid their homes." Zhao Kuo ordered.

Soon, Lou Chang was dragged down.

For some reason, knowing that Lou Chang was a spy of the Qin State, everyone still felt a little sad when they saw him executed, and at the same time, they were also in awe of Zhao Kuo in their hearts.

"Alright, the pilgrimage will continue." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said. "What else do you have to report?"

"Great King, the Daijun Le Cheng Army and the Northern Xinjiang Great Wall Guards are still hanging alone." Touching the dragon stood up and said.

At the beginning of the border of the Chen soldiers of the Yan State, Zhao Wangdan urgently ordered Le Cheng to levy 20,000 soldiers to defend the Yan army in Daijun, and at the same time ordered Zhao Kuo to withdraw the army.

In the end, as Zhao Kuo expected, Yan Guo did not send troops until now.

However, Yan did not retreat, obviously had a plan for Zhao State, and after the beginning of spring, it was very likely that he would send troops to attack Zhao State.

As for the commander of the Great Wall Guards, he was called Yan Zhou, who was also a general of Zhao State, who once captured Changcheng and Gaotang and other places in Qi State for Zhao State, and was later transferred to the north by King Zhao to defend the Xiongnu, making it impossible for the Xiongnu to threaten Zhao State for ten years.

Even if the Battle of Changping was so fierce, King Zhao did not mobilize the Great Wall guards to go south.

In addition to the 300,000 troops in the hands of Zhao Kuo, the rest of the army was in the hands of Yan Zhou, with 50,000 troops, 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry.

As for the Lecheng Army, it is just a miscellaneous soldier who has just been recruited, old and young.

"The king, Lecheng is a member of the Yi clan, and Yi is willing to repair the book with him and persuade him to submit to the king." Le Yi said.

"Then I'll be in trouble." Zhao Kuo nodded and looked at the other person, "Li Mu." ”

"The minister is here."

Escorting grain and grass to carry heavy baggage, Li Mu, who was walking at the rear, finally arrived in Handan.

"You will lead an army of 50,000 to Daijun tomorrow, join forces with Lecheng to repel the Yan army, and then go north, order Yan Zhou to return to Handan, and you will take over the defense line of the Great Wall." Zhao Kuo ordered.

Zhao Kuo, such an important place in the Great Wall defense line, must be grasped in his own hands, and Li Mu is the only handsome talent of the younger generation of Zhao Guo except for Zhao Kuo, even Meng Wu, the son of Meng Fu, is much worse than him, and he just needs a chance to be alone.

"My lord, ...... What about General Yan Zhou? Li Mu asked.

When he fought in the northern Xinjiang, he followed Yan Zhou to fight against the Xiongnu, at that time he was just a small soldier, and he had great respect for Yan Zhou to protect his family and defend the country, and he did not want Yan Zhou to be idle.

"Don't worry, as long as he knows the current affairs, this king will not idle him." Zhao Kuo said.

No matter how Yan Zhou said it, he was also the second general after Lian Po before Zhao Guo, as long as he was not loyal to Zhao Wangdan, Zhao Kuo would not be able to abandon him.

"Don't worry, the king will definitely convince General Yan Zhou." Li Mu said gratefully.

"How many counties have been attached?" Zhao Kuo looked at Pang Xuan.

"Your Majesty, all the counties south of Daijun have been annexed, and there is no news from the remaining areas." Pang Xuanyu reported.

Zhao Kuo nodded, other areas are far away, and it is normal for the time to be late.
