"Bang bang."

In front of the Shangqing Mansion, there were suddenly three crisp knocks.

The door, which was already a little mottled, was slowly opened with a "squeak".

"Who?" The slightly old voice of the porter came from inside the door.

"The last general is ordered by General Li Mu to deliver a message to Pingyuan Jun." The soldiers didn't dare to slack off, and immediately clasped their fists with both hands and waved at the visitor.

"Oh." The porter nodded and said, "Come in." ”

Immediately, the old man introduced his own soldiers into the courtyard.

The courtyard was very small, and Pingyuan-kun, who was listening to the movement, had already walked out of the room, and asked the visitor, "What's the matter?" ”

"The last general has seen the Plains." The soldiers immediately saluted and said: "General Li Mu ordered the last general to send a message: "General Zhou Qi has led more than 10,000 people to the north to rescue the general, please rest assured." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ping Yuanjun suddenly had a look of surprise on his face, the problem that he and Shangqing couldn't find a solution to after thinking and meditating hard had actually been solved by an offspring?

At the same time, Pingyuan-kun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

And these words suddenly surprised Lin Shangqing in the room.

Lin Shangqing, who had white hair and beard, carried a one-person-high stick, leaned slightly and even trembled a little to the front of the house.

Pingyuanjun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shangqing, why are you up?" It's okay, it's okay, the king was persuaded and sent soldiers and horses to rescue the general. ”

Obviously, Pingyuan Jun is not good at, or unwilling to speculate on his nephew, the king of Zhao, with the worst malice. Therefore, after getting the news that the army was heading north, the first thing that Pingyuan Jun thought of was that King Zhao had changed his mind.

But he didn't want to think about it, if King Zhao changed his mind, why wasn't Li Mu leading the troops, and if it was decided to rescue the general, why were there only more than 10,000 troops to go to the rescue?

But Lin Xiang, who knew King Zhao's temperament very well, immediately frowned when he heard this.

Lin Xiangru didn't believe that in just two quarters of an hour, King Zhao, who had always been unkind, suddenly changed his temperament, and was still under the persuasion of a little-known lieutenant general.

And the pro-soldier who knew the beginning and the end could only helplessly wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and then opened his mouth to break Pingyuan Jun's illusion.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty." The soldiers said slowly: "It's not that our king has changed his mind, but when the king was still under the tower, General Li Mu secretly ordered General Zhou Qi to lead the army north to rescue in the name of pursuit. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Pingyuan Jun was a little stunned.

"Where is the king, then?" Lin Xiangru on the side continued to ask.

"In the last tense, the army has been prepared, and now it may have begun." The soldier continued.

"Nope." When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he immediately became worried: "In this way, isn't there only 40,000 troops around my king?" The strength of the army is not enough, and the Yan army is also. If so......"

As he spoke, Pingyuan-kun was about to go to the barracks.

Suddenly, an old hand stretched out and pulled out Pingyuanjun, who was about to leave. Looking back, who else could Lin Shangqing be.

"You go back first. The old man and Pingyuan-kun both knew. Without waiting for Pingyuan-kun to inquire, Lin Xiangru's slightly weak voice sounded again.

"Also." Lin Xiangru's slow voice sounded again: "Please wait for me and Pingyuan-kun to inform your general: This matter is very good." As long as it is beneficial to Zhao Guo, don't take it into account, let it go, Handan has us, Zhao Guo still has generals, and the sky can't fall! ”

Although the soldiers didn't understand the meaning of Lin Shangqing's words, they also tried their best to write down Shangqing's words, and then bowed to the two of them to the end, turned around and walked out of the mansion.

On the side, Pingyuan Jun was still savoring Lin Shangqing's words. Obviously, Lin Shangqing's words were not just affirming Li Mu's practice of secretly sending troops, but more as if he was encouraging something.

However, for a while, Pingyuanjun didn't understand what Lin Shangqing was encouraging.

Lin Shangqing looked at Pingyuanjun with a sad face, but he laughed out loud and said: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the future of Da Zhao is theirs, we old guys, just guard this Handan City, as for the rest, put it to the destiny of heaven, but also." ”

"Shangqing, what do you mean?" Pingyuan-kun still didn't understand.

Lin Shangqing, who was helpless, could only continue: "Our general, with 5,000 enemy Yan troops and 60,000 elites, can be said to be outnumbered by the enemy, and he is still carefree; Now, with 40,000 people, my king defeated the 60,000 fleeing Yan army, what is the danger? ”

"But." Of course, Pingyuan Jun disagreed with Lin Shangqing's statement, and immediately retorted: "The ability of the general is not comparable to that of my king. ”

"Yes, the general's ability is a hundred times greater than that of my king." Lin Shangqing also smiled and said, "But, you know, I know, does the king know?" Does Lou Chang know that? And the hundreds of officials and thousands of people of the Zhao Kingdom, do they all know? ”

"The meaning of Shangqing." If Pingyuan Jun realized, it was obvious that he had almost guessed what Lin Shangqing meant: Since he can't persuade my king, then just let him go and break the bloodstream, taking advantage of the fact that the opponent is just a mere Yan country, as long as Handan is not lost and the general is not hindered, then the basic plate of Zhao State will not change.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to make everyone aware of the gap - the gap between King Zhao and the general.

"But that's it. Doesn't it deepen the contradiction between the general and my king? With King Zhao's mind, if there is a disaster of defeat, I am afraid that it will be difficult to tolerate the general. Pingyuan-kun was still a little worried.

Lin Shangqing, who heard the words, didn't care at all, and said slowly: "When the king decided to chase the north and give up returning to the general, this knot is no longer unsolvable. It is a matter of life and death, and between survival and death, it is impossible to bear the guilt. Between the two, it is already a life-and-death situation, how do you want to mediate? ”

"Huh?" Pingyuan Jun sighed.

Indeed, King Zhao's move is almost tantamount to putting the general to death with his own hands, how can the general not know? In the face of such a situation, it is already very good not to go far to other countries, and how can the general be reconciled with King Zhao as before. In that case, what does it matter if it is intolerable.

But in this way, after this battle, won't there be another bloody storm in the Zhao court? 33

"What a good thing that is!" Pingyuanjun is a little decadent.

Seeing that Zhao was about to prosper after the Battle of Changping, but on the contrary, King Zhao could not tolerate the generals who had made great achievements, and forced the generals to go away, which led to the invasion of Yan State. If the general is still in Handan, he will not dare to attack Handan with the courage of Yan Guo!

And after this battle, if the current situation continues, I am afraid that the contradiction between the king and the general will only intensify.

Perhaps, this is the only way!

Some people died, but not completely......
