Although he had doubts, the matter had come to this, and Xin Lingjun could only bite the bullet.

Nodding silently, Xin Lingjun said: "In this case, Weichen will go to Handan for the sake of Dawei." ”

"That's great!" King Wei was immediately overjoyed.

Of course, the reason why Xin Lingjun agreed so happily is that he actually has his own little Jiujiu - it is best to be able to exchange it, even if he can't change the land, he must not let Zhao Guo have any anger towards him.

This is the bottom line, and it is also the most fundamental reason why Xinling Jun agreed to King Wei's request.

He knew that if he didn't go and changed to someone else, he was afraid that not only would he not be able to change the land, but he would even be angry with Zhao Guo.

Today's Wei State can no longer withstand the toss.

Immediately, after bidding farewell to the King of Wei, Xinling Jun returned to his house to prepare to go.

In fact, there was nothing to prepare, and after simply explaining that the old housekeeper did not need to collect grain and grass anymore, Xinlingjun took hundreds of people and the gifts ordered by the King of Wei to prepare them, and set off towards Handan with a festival.

In order to be as prepared as possible, Xinlingjun sent a lot of spies to inquire about the current situation in Handan.

When he heard that Lian Po had been ordered to return to Handan, Xin Lingjun's grasp in his heart suddenly increased by two points.

General Lian Po is obviously Xin Lingjun's best "friend" in the Zhao court. What's more, several times of cooperation and combat made the two know each other very well.

Immediately, Xinlingjun, who was still on the road, put the first stop of this trip to Handan to General Lian Po's house.

Of course, the return of General Lian Po is a normal thing in the Zhao court, after all, the war has basically ended, and in addition to Lian Po, the commander of the Shangdang armies, there is also Li Muzai with more than 100,000 elites on the front line.

The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, although Li Mu will definitely obey Lian Po's dispatch, but the problem is that the generals under Li Mu may not obey the orders of the generals under General Lian Po!

This is also the reason why Li Mu locked his troops in Los Angeles, afraid of what kind of discord would arise between the two armies.

With the news sent by Qin Guozuo, Wang Yu's army finally arrived at Hangu Pass, the battle was completely over, and Zhao Kuo's royal order also arrived at the front line.

Lian Po was in charge, while Li Mu stayed in the land of Zhou Wangji to consolidate his defense system.

Because the war has lasted for several months, and it is about to enter winter, there are nearly 180,000 troops led by Zhou Qi and Sun Gu along with Lian Po.

Yes, Zhao Kuo only left Li Mu with a mere 90,000 soldiers and horses.

It seems that there are still a lot of soldiers and horses, but you must know that the Qin State still has 50,000 troops in Yiyang!

And Li Mu's ten thousand soldiers and horses, the sphere of influence to be controlled, but the land of Shangdang and Zhou Wangji is nearly two counties. Even like this, more than 30,000 of the 70,000 soldiers and horses were Tuntian soldiers from Shangdang County.

In other words, in the land of Zhou Wangji, the troops garrisoned by Zhao would not exceed 60,000.

It can be said that in terms of local strength and combat power, Zhao is almost only equal to the Qin army.

To be honest, with such an arrangement, not only did Li Mu not understand it, but even Lian Po frowned.

In their minds, in the land of Zhou Wangji alone, at least 80,000 troops should be stationed to complete the suppression of the Qin army, and in Shangdang County in the rear, at least 70,000 or 80,000 troops should be left in reserve. After all, the Qin army could make a comeback at any time. The position of Zhou Wangji was too important, and it was necessary to have enough troops to hold on and support.

However, out of trust in Zhao Kuo, the two did not hesitate to follow orders.

In fact, Zhao Kuo's idea is also very simple, 60,000 troops are enough to suppress the Qin army trembling in the corner, and what the Qin army is now urgently trying to solve is the problem of its domestic troop deployment.

At least for a short time, it will be difficult to raise any more storms. Even if the Qin army suddenly increased its troops uncharacteristically and carried out some kind of surprise attack, the 60,000-strong army would be enough to hold Los Angeles for a while.

And the 60,000 army, which only has a slight advantage, is even more difficult to stimulate the Qin army, which is already a little sensitive now. If there were too many troops, it would put too much pressure on the Qin army stationed in Yiyang City.

Under heavy pressure, the Qin army may violate the rules of the battlefield and forcibly continue to increase troops in Yiyang, a place where birds don't, in winter.

Obviously, 60,000 is a good number, and it's just right.

In this way, the originally lively land of Zhou Wangji, with the withdrawal of Qin and Zhao's armies, fell into tranquility again, and Li Mu worked hard in Luocheng, but Handan City was completely lively.

Because of the battle with Qin, in fact, the army did not play much of a role, more of a victory of strategy, there were no prisoners, no corpses, and naturally there was no ceremony to sacrifice prisoners.

As for the war of annihilation on the grassland, firstly, it was to fight the Hu people, and there was no stage at all, and secondly, Li Mu, as the main general, was still in Los Angeles, and of course there was no way to hold any prisoner sacrifice ceremony.

Therefore, according to Zhao Kuo's orders, the returning army has begun to disband and return home one after another along the way.

When they arrived outside the city of Handan, the army led by Lian Po was only a few tens of thousands of horses, and after pulling these troops to the barracks outside the city, Lian Po returned to Handan with 100 personal soldiers to report on his work.

But even so, Lian Po was still welcomed by the people of Handan.

Obviously, the people of Handan have not yet adapted to victory, even though Zhao has won too many wars since Zhao Kuo left the mountain.

But no matter what, it is always happy to expand the territory. Even the people of Handan finally tasted the fruits of victory, not to mention anything else, the price of cattle and meat sheep was completely knocked down by Zhao Kuo!

The appetite is still secondary, and the influx of ploughing cattle is really a big deal.

With more ploughing cattle, more wasteland can be cultivated, and with more fields, can this life be bad?

It can be said that although Zhao has had frequent foreign military affairs in the past few months, in order to settle the people of Zhou Wangji, Zhao has emptied the entire treasury.

But the Zhao State at this time is very different from the Zhao State five years ago, which also emptied the treasury.

All the people of Zhao believed that the difficulties were only temporary, and all the people of Handan showed their trust and expectations for the Zhao court led by Zhao Kuo.

Although the battle for Los Angeles was at its most difficult, this trust was not lost.

This can be seen from the fact that the number of people in various places is only increasing. There are even many wealthy families who offer to donate money and food. This would have been almost unthinkable five years ago.

With this cohesion, not to mention that the loss of Los Angeles is only part of the strategy, even if the Qin army really occupies the land of Zhou Wangji, Zhao Kuo can find a way to take it back.

This is Zhao Kuo's confidence.

Of course, Pingyuanjun finally understood from the shock of this scene and gradually understood what it meant to be "what the people want".

So, from the city gate to the palace, in just a few miles, Lian Po and his entourage, including Zhou Qi and Sun Gu, the two lieutenants, walked for more than an hour.

And when they finally came to the palace gate, they saw Zhao Kuo leading hundreds of civil and military officials, waiting outside the palace gate.

Seeing this, Lian Po also hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and came to Zhao Kuo in three steps and two steps.

"I've seen my king!" Lian Po knelt down on one knee and clasped his hands into fists, and said gratefully: "Weichen is late, leading my king to wait for a long time, it is really ten thousand deaths." ”

"Where is General Lian Po!" Zhao Kuo smiled and helped Lian Po up, held Lian Po's big hand with both hands, and said: "The general has shed blood for my great Zhao's foundation, and has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and there are dangers. Now we are just waiting for the first-class general downstairs at the gate of this palace, in the shade, what is the obstacle? ”

Lian Po looked at the beads of sweat on Zhao Kuo's forehead, obviously, the king was waiting for him here, and the time was not short.

I thought that the king was still in the last court, and he was a little later, just enough to wait for the dynasty to disperse and then enter the palace to meet the king alone, so Lian Po naturally moved forward slowly and unhurriedly, but he didn't want the king to be waiting for him at the palace gate all the time.

Although Lian Po has been fighting for the country for decades, and his exploits are unknown, the former king has never treated him so carefully, let alone waiting for him in the sun for an hour.

Immediately, Lian Po was moved to blame himself and choked up: "My king! ”

Pingyuan Jun on the side obviously didn't think it was a big deal, and immediately made up the knife again: "My king is in order to let the general enjoy the support of the people of Handan, and he deliberately arranged the place to greet him at the palace gate, not the city gate." ”

"My king, this ......" Lian Po was so moved again that he didn't know what to say.

At the age of Lian Po, the so-called fame and fortune have long been out of sight, and all he asks for is nothing more than the word "respect".

Obviously, Zhao Kuo not only gave, but even gave too much.

"For my Great Zhao to expand the territory and increase the number of people, General Lian Po definitely deserves this honor!" Zhao Kuo immediately clapped Lian Po's hands and said to everyone.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po again and said, "The general will enter the palace with the widow and talk carefully about the battle of Los Angeles with the widow." ”

"Yes." Lian Po immediately agreed.

In this way, Zhao Kuo took Lian Po into the palace hand in hand.

On the third day after Lian Po arrived in Handan, Xinlingjun, who was in a hurry, finally came to the outside of Handan. Of course, in order to save time, Xin Lingjun broke away from the large army and rushed to Handan by car, and naturally did not inform the corresponding diplomats of Zhao State.

Looking at the majestic city wall, Xin Lingjun didn't have much emotion in his heart, after all, the tower of their Daliang City was also magnificent and tall. But looking at the happy smiles on the faces of the people in the city, it really touched Xinlingjun's heart.

Obviously, in Daliang, the capital of Wei State, Xin Lingjun had not seen such a smile for too long.

Trying to keep his mood in order not to think about anything else, Xin Lingjun immediately ordered someone to drive the carriage to General Lian Po's mansion.

To say that this Xinling Jun is really a bit bold, as a foreign minister, he blatantly went to the general of Zhao State.

Of course, this is incompatible with etiquette, and even if it weren't for Lian Po's advanced age and loyalty to Zhao Guo, such behavior would be easy to criticize.

Of course, the reason why Xinlingjun did this was not only forced by the situation, but more importantly, Xinlingjun wanted General Lian Po to remember the events of the year - Lian Po back then also broke into his Xinlingjun's mansion without scruples and asked him to persuade King Wei to send troops to rescue Changping.

Back then, I went into the palace overnight to persuade the King of Wei, and even did not hesitate to steal the military talisman to rescue the Zhao State.

This time, I am in trouble, and I have a request for Zhao Guo, brother, how can you stay out of it......

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