Chapter 63 Reconsideration

The next morning, Zhao Palace.

Still like yesterday, all the civil and military officials of the court were there, and they were on both sides of the court, staring at the Korean envoy with a unique charm, the Ninth Prince Han Fei.

"South Korea Special Envoy, I have been thinking for a long time. If the envoy today has no other purpose except for the alliance, there is no need to speak again." King Zhao said indifferently. Han Fei listened to this and said, "I have a purpose for this, but I have another purpose." King Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "What else is the purpose?" Han Fei said, "I have come here to save South Korea, and at the same time to save Zhao and Wei." Hearing the silence of the whole house, he could almost hear the slight breath.

"Absurd, why do I need another country to rescue me?" King Zhao suddenly stood up and continued without waiting for Han Fei to speak: "Even if the defeat of Changping caused my Great Zhao to lose 400,000 sons, my Great Zhao still has 200,000 soldiers and 50,000 elite cavalry. Even if the tyrant Qin makes a comeback, he still has the advantage of fighting again. Why fear a small Yan State!"

"Besides, I have the General Pang Nuan under my command. The Qin King Jian, who had won fewer victory and killed more, was covered in dust. He also hoped that all the kings Le Yi would have taken over more than 70 cities in Qi thirty years ago. The Great Qi, known as the Eastern Emperor, was in a slump and never recovered. So far, with such elite soldiers and generals, why would I be afraid of?" King Zhao stared at Han Fei with a burning look.

Hearing this, Han Fei responded calmly, "Although Zhao's military peak is powerful, can it defeat the world?" Hearing this, Mu Huaiyuan stepped forward and said, "What do you mean by the special envoy?" Han Fei listened to this, and glanced at the many ministers in the Zhao court, and then said, "Now, all Zhao State are enemies except Han and Wei. If Yan attacks, how should Qi attack?" King Zhao replied, "We should hope that you will block it, Qi will not dare to attack." "What should Yan State be like?" "Mu Hou is unparalleled in bravery, and the vanguard cavalry is invincible in the world. Why fear the mere Yan State!"

Hearing this, Han Fei asked again, "What if Chu attacked?" King Zhao frowned and said, "There is still General Pang Nuan to kill the enemy." Hearing this, Han Fei smiled and said, "How can the military rations of Zhao State be enough?" Hearing this, the court fell into silence again. Because Han Fei opened his mouth and pointed the fatal hole of Zhao State, there was a shortage of food! If it weren't for shortage of food, Zhao State would not rush to change its commander in the Battle of Changping, because according to Lian Po's style of play, he would still lose. It was because of the shortage of food that Zhao State would not have hit the neighbors around him who had little thoughts.

The Zhao State is not afraid of fighting on multiple fronts. The Zhao Army is brave, and not many others are the most commanders. They are not afraid of fighting with the surrounding areas. They are afraid of insufficient food and grass to let the enemy die alive. This is a crime of non-war. Therefore, even if Zhao State faces Yan State, it can only carry out local strategic counterattacks and dare not fight a protracted war with Yan State at all.

Seeing that no one spoke in the royal court, Han Fei smiled and said, "I don't know what the king is worried about, so I came to share the worries for the king today. What Zhao is facing now is nothing more than these two points, one is the shortage of food and grass, and the other is the danger of Chu and Liang." Seeing that King Zhao nodded, Han Fei continued to speak, "Dare you dare to ask the king, is it important for a country's safety or personal face?" Hearing this, King Zhao immediately said, "Of course, the country is important."

"If the safety of the country conflicts with your favorite thing, which one do you want to give up?" Han Fei spoke again. King Zhao was silent for a while before speaking: "Mencius once said, "Mencius once said to be life, that is the one who sacrificed life for righteousness. Since Master Meng can give up his life for the word righteousness, then what's wrong with me giving up his favorite thing for his country!"

Hearing this, Han Fei immediately spoke: "In the past, the Chu people Bian and Bian He cut firewood on the Chu Mountain and occasionally saw the sacred bird of phoenix sitting on a stone. The so-called phoenix must have treasures when it lands. Bian He presented the uncensored jade he obtained to King Li of Chu and King Wu of Chu, but was punished by King Li of Chu and King Wu of Chu. Later, he cried the jade under Jingshan and found that King Wen of Chu recognized the treasure and carved it into the world-famous Heshi Bi. Later, this jade bi was tossed and turned and finally fell into the hands of Zhao. So, is the king willing to abandon the Heshi Bi for the sake of Zhao?"

When the King of Zhao heard this, Guo Kai, the eldest son, said, "Your Majesty, you can't! The Heshi Bi was taken by the State of Chu at a great price in the past. After Lin Qing protected his life, he returned to Handan. At the same time, Lin Qing left the reputation of returning the jade to Zhao! Now that he has handed over this precious jade to the King of Chu, my face will be gone, and Lin Qing's efforts will be destroyed. I hope the King Majesty will think twice." After hearing this, dozens of ministers knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you think twice!"

Hearing this, Han Fei said, "Do you dare to ask if Da Zongbo is looking for the country?" Guo Tu nodded and said, "This is natural." "Then why did Lin Xiangru return the jade to Zhao in the end to do it for the country? As a minister, he did not want to serve the country in times of crisis, but instead cared about irrelevant faces. Is this not what the loyal minister would do!"

After hearing this, King Zhao was silent for a while before speaking, "The envoy said, how should this Heshi Bi be abandoned?" Han Fei smiled and said, "It is said that the beautiful jade Heshi Bi is originally a powerful weapon of Chu. In the battle of Yangjin forty-six years ago, General Lian Po annihilated Qi in one battle. The Chu coalition forces had no choice but to let Zhao stop the war with this precious jade. Now the king uses this jade as a condition. With the king's great joy in the Chu king's merits, he will definitely ignore the alliance between the Three Jins, and the dangers in the south will be resolved."

Hearing this, King Zhao closed his eyes and thought, "It is okay to form an alliance, but it must be exchanged for the alliance after Baoyu was sent to the King of Chu, and after our Great Zhao successfully repelled Yan State, we can discuss the alliance."

Hearing this, Han Fei smiled and said, "But before this, our South Korea and Wei State were willing to provide Zhao State with sufficient food and grass to ensure the smoothness of the plan."

"Okay, everyone, this time the Yan State is invading, I want to use Lian Po as the commander, I don't know if you have any objections." King Zhao asked with a smile. Hearing this, Guo Tu said again: "Your Majesty, I feel that it is inappropriate to make Lian Po fight!" "Why?" "Your Majesty, now my Zhao court is full of talents, and Lian Po is reckless and brainless and has two hearts. I think it is inappropriate."

Hearing this, Lin Cheng snorted coldly and said, "The words of Da Zong Bo are not bad. General Lian Po's two dynasties are unparalleled in loyalty and courage. If Da Zong Bo had not strongly requested a change of commander in Changping, I, Da Zhao, would have been defeated so badly! I think Da Zong Bo has two hearts, right!"

"You--!" As soon as Guo Tu was about to say something, he felt a pressure pressing hard on him. This made him so shocked that he could only choose to shut up. Seeing that no one was talking, King Zhao immediately said, "Okay, this time I will use Lian Po as the commander of Yan. Please go to General Lian's mansion as you wish?"
