NOVEL WEB Chapter 15
At the same time that Prince Dan of Yan set out for Shicheng,
Zhao also took action.
Li Mu guarded the Great Wall alone, and although he could not escape for the time being, he secretly contacted Lian Po and asked him to lead an army of 200,000 to Anyang.
Anyang was behind Dangyin, and the purpose of this action was to completely block the Qin State.
This secretly arranged large network had completely surrounded the Qin army invisibly.
However,...
When the troops were about to be dispatched, the news was known to the King of Zhao. In the palace of the King of Zhao, the King of Zhao looked at Lian Po with a bad look, and there was suppressed anger in his eyes.
Originally, under the instigation of his favorite minister Guo Kai, he had long disliked Lian Po.
Now that he had done something like this, the King of Zhao was extremely dissatisfied with Lian Po.
"Lian Po, I respect you for supporting four generations of monarchs, and I even appointed you as prime minister. But it’s fine that Li Mu didn’t listen to me, but now you want to disobey me too?"
As early as when the army stationed on the border returned, the King of Zhao noticed something was wrong.
He immediately sent a letter to question Li Mu.
But the response he received at the time was that he was worried that Qin was pretending to attack Yan, but actually attacking Zhao.
The King of Zhao could understand that.
In addition, Li Mu had to be stationed on the Great Wall alone.
This gave the King of Zhao a way to weaken Li Mu's reputation.
Once Li Mu's reputation was weakened, he could consolidate his royal power.
So he was very happy at the time.
Since the Battle of Changping, Zhao has begun to be in a period of transition. After that, it experienced the Battle of Handan and foreign invasions, and now it has lost the strength to compete with Qin.
In addition, there have been natural disasters and poor harvests in the past two years.
Now that he has received the news that Qin has sent troops to Yan, the King of Zhao is even more excited.
But unexpectedly, before there is any problem on the border.
Now Lian Po is going to lead an army of 200,000 to stop Qin.
This made the King of Zhao furious for a while.
"" I am not disobeying orders, I am doing this for the future of Zhao!" Lian Po spoke in a deep and sonorous voice.
His cold eyes looked at King Zhao.
No matter how King Zhao tried to stop him today, he would send troops!
On one side, the favorite minister Guo Kai said,"The future of Zhao is decided by the king. If the prime minister is so impulsive, what will happen if he pushes Zhao to ruin?"
These words also triggered a response in the court.
He had long been bribed by Wei Liao's disciples, and now he was gradually provoking the relationship between Lian Po and King Zhao.
In addition, Lian Po was upright, and not only King Zhao, but also the ministers were somewhat dissatisfied with him.
"In any case, the consequences will be borne by Li Mu and me.
Lian Po glanced at Guo Kai, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
The King of Zhao in this generation was so incompetent, but this favorite minister was the one who made trouble.
"You and Li Mu? What a joke! Can you afford it?"Guo Kai, contrary to his usual behavior, stood up and shouted.
The King of Zhao was cowardly, and he would definitely swallow his anger under normal circumstances.
But this was not what Guo Kai wanted to see.
Today, he was going to be the barking dog and"speak up" for the King of Zhao!
Guo Kai's voice became more and more fierce:"There are tens of millions of people in Zhao State. If you irritate Qin State because of your momentary impulsiveness, who can afford it?"
"You? Li Mu? You two are both talented military strategists, but Qin is not without its own talented military strategists!"
"This time, Qin's attack on Yan has nothing to do with our Zhao State, but you have interfered. What if Qin turns around and attacks Zhao State?"
"In addition, all the troops in the northern border have been mobilized here by Li Mu, leaving the northern border empty. If Qin sends troops to the northern border again, Zhao will only face destruction!"
"Under such circumstances, they actually took the initiative to provoke the State of Qin. This makes people doubt the real intentions of the Prime Minister."
Guo Kai said this and looked around the court.
For a moment, there were voices of discussion.
Some even frowned and looked at Lian Po with hostility.
These people were all civil officials, and they were unwilling to endure turmoil again.
Moreover, it was under the current situation of Zhao's declining national strength.
However, there were people who understood Lian Po and Li Mu, but they did not dare to speak out.
Guo Kai had served two generations of monarchs, and now the King of Zhao was even more obedient to him.
He was in a position second only to one person in the court.
Even the King of Zhao agreed with Guo Kai's words.
Guo Kai saw that it was almost done, so he looked at Lian Po.
He accused him harshly:"I think you are ambitious! Could it be that you have already colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and are planning to surrender to the State of Qin with an army of 200,000?!"
When this question was asked, there were cries of surprise in the court.
The veins on the face of King Zhao were throbbing.
But Lian Po's face was calm, as usual.
He looked at Guo Kai, and suddenly a strong blood rushed out of him.
This action made Guo Kai, who was shouting, take two steps back, looking horrified:"Lian Po! You....Are you planning to commit a crime in the court?!"
He stood up today because he was sure that Lian Po would not do anything to him.
But he did not expect that Lian Po today seemed different from the past.
He did not explain the trap he set at all, and he showed an unprecedented tough attitude.
The King of Zhao also exclaimed:"Lian Po! Could it be that he was right? You plan to serve the Qin State?!" As soon as the voice fell,
Lian Po took a step towards Guo Kai. With this step, a very strong military evil suddenly burst out from his body.
The extremely ferocious military evil suddenly formed a series of knife lights and phantoms.
Swish!
Guo Kai, who was still in shock, was instantly exploded into a ball of blood mist.
The blood stained the hall!
This scene made everyone stunned.
In the entire Zhaowang Hall, you could hear a pin drop.
They didn't expect Lian Po to kill Guo Kai directly.
Those who had just denounced Lian Po with Guo Kai also immediately shut up, looking panicked.
They were afraid that Lian Po would attack again.
Even the Zhao Wang was terrified at this moment.
A military god, if he really wanted to take action, no one present would be able to deal with him.
Lian Po looked at the Zhao Wang, but sighed.
""Your Majesty, take care of yourself. If you really don't send troops this time, Zhao will really be destroyed!"
After saying that, Lian Po walked out without looking back.
How could these people see the current situation clearly?.....
After waiting for a long time until Lian Po left, the King of Zhao finally collapsed on the chair.
He was covered in cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
"Lian Po!"
The King of Zhao was horrified and gasped for breath, but he was helpless.......
When Zhao, Wei, and Yan were all making moves,
