"Your Majesty, eat the vegetables." Mr. Jianxin took a piece of meat and wanted to put it into King Zhao's bowl.
King Zhao directly grabbed Jianxinjun's hand and moved it towards his mouth, then ate the meat from the kuaizi in one bite, and said happily: "The meat from the beauty is delicious."
"As long as your Majesty is happy, come, Your Majesty, have a drink." Lord Jianxin poured the warm wine into the glass and handed it to King Zhao, who drank it in one gulp.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty doesn't mind my stupidity, I will always serve Your Majesty." Lou Chang bowed down and said sincerely.
"Lou Qing is the humerus of our Zhao Kingdom. How can I be stupid? I will have to rely on Lou Qing for help in the future." King Zhao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty..." Lou Chang was about to say something, but at this moment, Zhao Bao strode in from outside the palace and interrupted him.
When Zhao Bao saw Jianxinjun and Lou Chang in King Zhao's arms, he frowned and wanted to turn around and leave. However, thinking of the urgent matter at hand, he endured it for the sake of Zhao Guo.
"It's already this time, your Majesty, you still have time to drink? If you drink any more, our Kingdom of Zhao will be destroyed!" Zhao Bao walked up to King Zhao and said in a deep voice.
"What does Uncle Wang mean by this? Our Zhao country is in great shape, how could it be destroyed?" King Zhao said angrily.
"Urgent report from Daijun, the border of Yan State and Chen Bing. Such an urgent matter was sent to Handan three days ago, and the king has not seen it until now. Haha, he is really a good king of our Zhao State." Zhao Bao reported the battle.
He slapped it on the table in front of King Zhao, the wine glass fell down, and the wine flowed onto Jian Xinjun's dress.
If his retainer hadn't happened to know the soldier who delivered the message, heard about it and reported it to him, he would still be in the dark like King Zhao.
After receiving the report from the retainer, Zhao Bao was so numb that he did not dare to waste a moment and went to the soldier who delivered the letter to verify it himself.
When he saw the soldier who delivered the message, the soldier almost went crazy.
The letter was obviously submitted three days ago, but there was still no news, so how could he go back and deliver the letter?
"What! The Yan State is at the border with Chen Bing." King Zhao suddenly stood up and said in a panic, "What can we do? Our Zhao State's army is all on the front line to attack the Qin State, so what can we do to repel the Yan State?
"
"Your Majesty~" Lord Jianxin grabbed King Zhao's arm, looking timid.
"Go away, actors are not qualified to listen to this kind of thing." Zhao Bao pointed at Mr. Jianxin and said angrily.
In his opinion, without Lord Jianxin, King Zhao would never have fallen so low. If he were not in the hall now, he would kill him.
Lord Jianxin looked at King Zhao longingly without moving his feet.
"Qiang!" When Zhao Bao saw this, he was immediately furious. He drew out the guard's sword, pointed at Jian Xinjun and said, "Don't force me to kill you now!"
"You go down first." King Zhao patted Mr. Jianxin's little hand and comforted him.
Seeing that even King Zhao was not on his side, Lord Jianxin had no choice but to retreat.
"Uncle Wang, calm down first." King Zhao quickly asked Zhao Bao to sit down and said in a low voice: "We should discuss how to repel the Yan army first."
"I suggest that General Lecheng be ordered to lead the army to resist the Yan army." Zhao Bao said.
"What do Lou Qing think?" King Zhao looked at Lou Chang.
"I also think that General Le Cheng is very suitable, but General Le Cheng alone may not be able to repel the Yan army. Now that the siege of Shangdang has been resolved, the Qin State has temporarily lost its threat. On the contrary, the threat of the Yan State is right in front of us. Why not let Ma
Fuzi, please lead your army back." Lou Huan leaned over and said.
"No, Your Majesty. The Qin State is a serious problem for the Zhao State. The Yan State is just a scabies disease. If the Qin State cannot be beaten once, even if the siege of Shangdang is over this time, there will be a second and third Shangdang attack."
When the battle comes, there may not be a second Ma Fuzi." Zhao Bao looked at Lou Chang angrily.
Lou Chang sneered in his heart, he is not Lord Jianxin. Even if Zhao Bao is Uncle Wang, what can you do to me?
"Your Majesty, according to the Co-Version Covenant, even if Hedong is conquered, it will still belong to the Wei State and will not be of any benefit to the Zhao State. Now it is equivalent to using Zhao State's soldiers to fight for the Wei State. This is extremely unwise. Moreover,
These ministers have heard some rumors..." At this point, Lou Chang paused.
"What rumors?" King Zhao asked.
"Recently, rumors are circulating throughout Handan that Ma Fuzi is preparing to take over Jin and claim the throne. Some people even want to go to Shangdang to defect to Ma Fuzi," Lou Chang said.
"Seriously!" King Zhao suddenly stood up and asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, this is just a ploy by the Qin State to drive a wedge between the monarch and his ministers. You must not believe it. If Ma Fuzi really wanted to become king, how could the entire Handan know about it?" Zhao Bao said sadly.
Now Zhao has a bright future. As long as it defeats Qin and then works hard to govern, it may not be impossible to regain the strength it had during the period of King Wu Ling.
But if the King of Zhao asks Zhao Kuo to withdraw, or even treats Zhao Kuo like the Yan State treated Le Yi, then all the bright future of the Zhao State will be destroyed in one day.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed just a rumor. But for this kind of thing, it is better to believe it than to believe it. When Ma Fuzi signed the alliance covenant, he did not get your consent and directly used the emperor's order. Did he ever have such a thing in his eyes?
Overcoming the king?" Lou Chang bowed and bowed.
After being reminded by Lou Chang, King Zhao suddenly remembered that Zhao Kuo had persuaded Le Yi and Tian Dan to follow him to Changping without even telling him.
After arriving in Changping, he repeatedly ignored his orders and left Lian Po in the army without authorization.
And Zhao Kuo...
"I trust Zhao Kuo so much, I didn't expect Zhao Kuo to be such a person." King Zhao kicked the soldiers away and said angrily. "Immediately send an order to Zhao Kuo to withdraw his troops."
"No." The eunuch next to him walked towards the outside.
"Your Majesty, you can't." Zhao Bao quickly stopped the eunuch. He didn't expect that he was just reporting the situation at the border of Chen Bing in Yan State, but it would lead to so many things.
"Did Uncle Wang decide to side with Ma Fuzi?" King Zhao looked at Zhao Bao indifferently, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Zhao Bao silently moved out of the way and walked outside in despair...
"Your Majesty is wise." Lou Chang leaned over and said.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from the State of Qin wants to see you." At this time, a guard came in from outside.
"Envoy from the State of Qin?" King Zhao was a little surprised. What was the envoy from the State of Qin doing here at this time?
"Your Majesty, let's meet first." Lou Chang said.
"Okay, invite the Qin envoy in."
"The envoy of Qin paid homage to King Zhao." After a while, the envoy of Qin came in.
"The envoy of Qin came here to seek peace?" King Zhao said with a smile.
"No, the foreign minister came this time to welcome back Qin's hostage in Zhao." The Qin envoy leaned over and said.
"Welcoming the proton?" King Zhao was a little surprised, but he didn't find it strange at all.
In order to win Zhao's trust, the Qin State sent strangers here as hostages. Now it is normal for the Qin State to want to take them back.
In this situation, generally all countries will not be embarrassed, because even if you force the protons to stay, it will not have any effect.
Qin's former crown prince Zhuo, who is now Prince Zhu's eldest brother, used to be a hostage in Wei, and Qin still attacked Wei in two days.
Even though foreigners were held hostage by the Zhao State, the Qin State still launched the Battle of Changping, and even buried alive the 400,000 soldiers of the Zhao State in history.
Once the state machine is running, it will not change because of a small proton.
"Yes." Qin envoy said.
"Let's discuss this matter after the war is over." King Zhao waved his hand.
Although protons are not very useful, they are better than nothing. He still understands this truth.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to embarrass a hostage when the two countries are at war. Since Qin sent people to pick him up, why not send him back, so as to show our demeanor as a great country." Lou Chang leaned over and advised.
Seeing that King Zhao was still hesitating, Lou Chang added: "Now the Chen Bing border of Yan State may invade at any time, and our army is attacking Qin State on the front line. We can also use the matter of returning the hostage to ease the relationship with Qin State. Otherwise, Qin State
If we unite with the Yan State, I, the Zhao State, may not be able to stop them."
"Lou Qing can see clearly. If this is the case, then let's send Qin's proton back." King Zhao suddenly realized.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Qin envoy leaned over and said.
