The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 263 Can General Lian Po still eat?

Now there is only Wuxiang Jun Le Cheng in the Great Zhao Dynasty. It's not that Wuxiang Jun is incapable, but it seems that, probably, he is not able to suppress the surrounding tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves.

Moreover, if the two states really formed an alliance to attack Qin, Zhao would have to attack on two fronts. On the one hand, it would have to follow the majority of the troops to attack Qin in the west, and on the other hand, it would have to advance eastward to capture the fifteen cities allocated to Qin. With only one general, it would not be enough.

What is needed is a top-notch general in the world to sit in the court.

In the court, King Zhao Daoxiang brought up this matter and asked all the ministers to recommend a general. There were many different opinions, but most of them were unknown people. Only one name touched the heart of King Zhao Daoxiang.

Lian Po.

After all, Lian Po had been in Zhao State for decades, so naturally someone would speak for him when the chance came.

And many people responded to the recommendation.

This person said that Lian Po had always been loyal to the Great Zhao, and as long as the king gave an order, Lian Po would be willing to return to Zhao and serve.

With Lian Po's ability, leading the elite troops of Great Zhao, no one in the world dared to offend him lightly.

King Zhao Daoxiang couldn't help but think about this matter seriously.

Lian Po had served the Great Zhao for decades. Although he had a bad temper, he was indeed loyal. Needless to say, his ability to command troops was also outstanding. Many of his old subordinates were in the army, so he was adept at commanding the troops again. With him in charge of Handan, no one dared to underestimate him.

Although he had done something wrong back then, if I could let bygones be bygones and invite him back, wouldn't it be easier to gain his loyalty? After all, it's better to do good than to do wrong.

If this matter gets out, it can also show his broad mind. How can the capable ministers and generals in the world not come to him because of his reputation?

This achieves several goals at one stroke!
The more King Zhao Daoxiang thought about it, the more he felt this was true. He was quite tempted, but he was also worried about Lian Po's attitude and age. If Lian Po still refused, wouldn't he lose face again?

Moreover, Lian Po had been in Wei for several years without any achievement or movement. After all, Lian Po was too old. If he was no longer able to fight in the battlefield, it would be useless to invite him back. However, if he was invited back but not given a position, it would be unpleasant to hear if the news got out.

King Zhao Daoxiang thought about it seriously and decided to send someone to visit Lian Po with the Zhao royal family's treasure - the Zhuiyun Armor, and four thousand-mile horses. It was ostensibly a visit to express condolences, but in reality it was to test Lian Po's attitude and ability.

Otherwise a good thing will turn into a bad thing, or a good honor will turn into a disgrace.

No matter what the result is, it would be a good thing if the news of giving generous gifts to old ministers who have grudges against him gets out.

King Zhao Daoxiang had good ideas and his approach was correct, but he did not consider one thing: would Lian Po’s enemies give Lian Po a chance to come back?
After King Zhao Daoxiang issued the order to send people to comfort Lian Po, with the abilities of Guo Kai and Le Cheng, how could they not know King Zhao Daoxiang's true intention?
The two were both frightened and terrified. Lian Po had a very high prestige and outstanding talents, but he had a bad temper. If he came back and took control, Guo Kai and Le Cheng would definitely have a hard time.

Both of them are mortal enemies of Lian Po.

The two of them hurriedly discussed privately what to do about this matter.

Except for being anxious at the beginning, Guo Kai has now calmed down and quickly thought of a solution.

Le Cheng was still a little anxious. Compared with these dirty tricks, Le Cheng, who came from a prominent family, was still far inferior to Guo Kai.

Guo Kai simply left a message: "Lord Wuxiang, we all don't want Lian Po to come back. I have already thought of a way to absolutely guarantee that the king will not use Lian Po."

"It only takes 500 gold, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Seeing that Guo Kai was so confident, Le Cheng naturally believed in Guo Kai's ability and directly sent someone to deliver it to Guo Kai's mansion.

Guo Kai took the five hundred gold coins as a bribe to the envoy who came to visit Lian Po, and the envoy said he would follow all arrangements made by Lord Guo.

This envoy was a eunuch of King Zhao Daoxiang. Naturally, he knew Guo Kai's influence and power, so how could he dare to refuse him? What's more, there was such a huge windfall. He was not familiar with Lian Po, so it was right for him to establish a good relationship with Lord Guo. Moreover, he still had the favor of Lord Le Cheng. It would be a great profit if he just said a few more words.

Guo Kai did not ask him to say that Lian Po was unwilling to come back. That was too fake. Lian Po was extremely feared and not valued in Wei State. How could he be unwilling to return to Zhao?
Guo Kai only let him say a few more words when he replied.

The first sentence is "Although General Lian is old, he still eats well. However, when he sat with me, he dropped feces three times in a short while."

The second sentence is "When I entered Daliang, I heard the gossips of his subordinates. General Lian once said something resentful."

King Zhao Daoxiang was both regretful and angry, and never mentioned the matter again.

Lian Po never had the chance to return to the State of Zhao that he loved so much and for which he had served all his life.

This once again proves that since ancient times, those who were good at fighting have often been defeated by their own hands.

Every move of the six states in Shandong was under Ying Zheng's supervision and he could see it clearly. Ying Zheng always placed intelligence and spies first and invested heavily in it. It is no exaggeration to say that intelligence determines success or failure.

Looking at the collusion between Wei, Chu and Zhao, Ying Zheng even wanted to laugh. It turned out that the most difficult thing in the world is unity. Even facing destruction, it is impossible for all to unite.

Everyone has their own ulterior motives, and everyone hopes that others can serve as fuel to illuminate their own future.

It is absolutely impossible to make yourself a fuel. Even if we perish together, it is better than me perishing while others live well.

I would rather die than let my friend die. If we really have to die, let’s die together.

Judging from the current situation, it will probably take more fuel to bring about this grand farce.

The time to add fuel to the fire was approaching, but King Xi of Yan was not resting.

Let the wind blow some more.

The political affairs have been much easier these days. Ying Zheng is obsessed with Mi Yun and can't help himself. Her tenderness is like water, and her love is like honey. In this honey water, there is a steel knife scraping his bones back and forth. He can't resist the temptation at all.

Mi Yun hasn't been by Ying Zheng's side for a year and a half, and now she suddenly shows up. She's really clingy. Ying Zheng is really into the temptation of such a beautiful woman again, and he really likes her. Who wouldn't like her?
Moreover, after being passively neglected for a period of time, Mi Yun has changed a lot. The biggest change is that he doesn't think so much anymore and pays more attention to Ying Zheng. Of course, he becomes more greedy for Ying Zheng.

It's a pity that fighting power cannot be changed by will. Little Mi Yun has obvious weaknesses. He is often confident in the beginning, but soon he is defeated and shouts for mercy, which makes it difficult for Ying Zheng to enjoy himself. In the second half, spring, summer, autumn and winter will take over randomly.

It's a pity that Mi Yan is not convenient yet. These maids are fine, Mi Yun doesn't take them seriously, they are just maids. If he summons other women to sleep with him at the same time, Mi Yun might not be able to accept it.

Ying Zheng felt pity for Mi Yun and didn't want to hurt this woman who only loved him. He doted on his first wife very much. He decided to take it slow. He had plenty of time anyway and he was not a pervert. He would naturally train her slowly and savor the delicious food.

Let’s start with Mi Yan. Mi Yun is a little easier to accept. The thought of the sisters Yun Yan entangled with each other makes me excited.
