A short silk letter was quickly written.

Under the moonlit night, a lone pigeon headed northeast, and dozens of horsemen scattered to the southwest.

To the north, Zhao Kuo's department, which had been corrected for a day, was having dinner with the defenders of Changping Pass, drinking with good wine and meat, indulging in shouting, and staggering, as if in the midst of a celebration banquet.

As a modern person, Zhao Kuo has obviously forgotten the consequences of "opening champagne at half time".

On the battlefield south of Shangdang, in the camp of the Qin army, after several days and nights of hard work and fighting, the Wei army of nearly 100,000 troops was finally annihilated and the entire Shangdang battlefield was successfully emptied. It was clear that the battle had been won, but the atmosphere in the camp was extremely low.

If it weren't for Wu Anjun Bai Qi personally sitting in charge, if he hadn't seen the Wei army's grain and grass in storage, and if it weren't for the Qin army's strict military law, I'm afraid the Qin army would have mutinied at this time.

After three years on the border, the countryside was barren, and the family was no longer sustainable, so it relied on the victory of this battle. But after a month of bloody battles, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were lost, and countless fellow villagers and comrades fell in a foreign land, and in the end it was such a result - surrounded by others?

How can this be acceptable to the Qin soldiers?!

Fortunately, Bai Qi is still there, and Qin Bing still retains his last confidence - confidence in Wu Anjun.

And in the palace of Handan City, far to the northeast, King Zhao finally received a battle report from Changping, including asking for help from Wei!

The ensuing problems also plagued King Zhao: on the one hand, the war was about to be won, and on the other hand, Zhao Kuo, as a military general, crossed the line to meddle in the country's diplomacy.

Thinking of Zhao Kuo's father, Ma Fujun Zhao Hao, it seems that he also took away the military power by deception, and then he left behind the so-called promise of the court to save the city quickly, until the Qin army came to attack, so he sent troops to fight the follow-up Qin army by surprise, although he finally won the victory, but the means of deception, King Zhao wrote it down.

And now, his son, who is better than the blue, is not deceived directly, and has changed his own decision? !

This is obviously a great disrespect for the royal power, and it can even be said to be trampled on. If this continues, what authority will the king have?

Even if it is another victory, King Zhao is really a little secretive about such a victory - without him, today the Ma father and son dare to deceive themselves and encroach on themselves, then he will not be able to guarantee that there will be Niu father and son who will want to replace him, just like the story of the Tian family Dai Qi, especially Zhao Kuo is still surnamed Zhao, and he is still a member of the office.

Urgently summoned the ministers and confidants, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao, Shangqing Lin Xiangru and Shangfu Lou Chang, and discussed them together.

Lin Xiangru, who arrived at the end, was almost carried to the palace by someone, and after getting Zhao Kuo's silk book, Lin Xiangru, who was already terminally ill, showed a hint of ruddy on his pale face: I thought it was a critical situation for the Shangdang battlefield to qualify, so I was hurriedly carried to the palace with a heavy sick body, but I didn't want it to be good news.

Zhao Kuo, who was not optimistic about himself, gave a loud mouth to the world, including himself. But Lin Xiangru didn't care at all, but was overjoyed, he knew that with this son, he could ensure the stability of Zhao for thirty years!

The voice that should have been congratulated was interrupted by King Zhao's next words.

King Zhao saw that everyone had finished circulating the military report, and then asked lightly, "What do you think, what should be done?"

It's just that these words that seem to be asking for opinions are actually convicting Zhao Kuo. The phrase "dispose" rather than "reward" has already exposed his inner thoughts.

It's a pity that not everyone will consider the problem from the perspective of King Zhao, more people will only look at the problem from the perspective of Zhao Guo, at least Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, who is a person in the office, is similar to Shangqing Lin.

Lin Xiangru frowned when he heard this, and his thoughts were surging: My king! Do you know what kind of immortal feats General Zhao has just made? With this little idea, you have to deal with a general who has just printed the battle of the world and saved the country from the danger of destruction?! Is it a little sloppy?

"If Zhao Kuo had a personal relationship with Wei without asking for instructions, it would not be an exaggeration to kill him with this." Lin Xiangru dragged a heavy sick body and spoke bitterly

Heartily persuaded: "But judging from the actual effect, Zhao Kuo swept away the three-year decline, drove the Qin army that looked down on the world into a desperate situation, and ensured the safety of Da Zhao for the next ten years. There is really no need to deal with it."

As one of Ma Fujun's few friends, Zhao Sheng immediately inserted words to support Zhao Kuo and said: "Zhao Kuo's move, although it is inappropriate, but it is a technique of victory, so it has to be used, if you blame it, how will the battle be carried out in the future?"

Seeing that the two ministers were trying their best to speak for Zhao Kuo, King Zhao was obviously a little displeased, and immediately looked at Doctor Lou Chang.

Lou Chang obviously understood what King Zhao was worried about, of course, whether it was Lin Xiangru or Zhao Sheng, they might also understand King Zhao's worries, but they were more concerned about the rise and fall of Zhao State.

However, Lou Chang is not, his positioning for himself is very simple - close to the strong. Yes, it is to rely on the strong and not to King Zhao. It's just that in the current situation, it is obviously inappropriate to continue to stay out of the situation.

Immediately, Lou Chang met King Zhao's gaze and hurriedly spoke, "Pingyuan Jun's words are wrong. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. The so-called method of victory, only one of the laws of this transgression? Don't you hear that a gentleman doesn't eat the food that comes to him, and he knows that it is wrong, but he still has to do it, not for the sake of righteousness and small kingship? If this matter is not dealt with, but I don't know how many people will be called Hou and how many will be called Wang Yan in the coming year?"

I saw that King Zhao, who had heard the words, nodded frequently, obviously, these words were said in King Zhao's heart!

The most infuriating thing is that Zhao Kuo can obviously ask for instructions, but he did it without asking for instructions, isn't this contempt for royal power, what else can it be?

"Zhao Kuo wants to ask for instructions, does he dare?!" Pingyuan Jun was obviously already a little angry, in the face of such a huge victory, for such a huge feats of Zhao State, the person in front of him was actually putting the cart before the horse!

"I'm afraid, Zhao Kuo has just reported the tactics on the front foot, and the plan on the back foot will be on King Qin's desk. Even before the envoy of our country left Handan, the envoy of the Qin people had already left the country." Pingyuan Jun looked at Lou Chang, who was yin and yang, and the scene of Zhao Kuo asking Lou Chang to sacrifice the flag before the expedition appeared in front of him.

These words simply pointed at Lou Chang's nose and said that he was in Tongqin, and Lou Chang was not used to Pingyuan Jun, so he immediately reprimanded angrily: "Nonsense, I don't know what to say!"

For a while, the atmosphere present became a little tense. And Zhao Bao, who had not spoken all this time, saw that Lou Chang had the upper hand, so he immediately joined the battle group and said, "It is merit that needs to be rewarded, and not rewarding is not enough to motivate soldiers to use their lives; It is a punishment, and not punishment is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao. My king deserves to be rewarded with a high lord for his merits, but he needs to be punished for his transgression."

A seemingly fair remark is actually a hidden evil......
