"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

 Sun Hao was also in a daze, he didn't expect Zhao Xie to kill him directly, and shouted for help.

 But unfortunately, Zhao Xie was not moved at all.

 None of the other Zhao army advisers around stood up at this time and pleaded for General Zhao.

 These counselors are too aware of Zhao Xie's temper now.

 At this time, Zhao Xie was really angry. If anyone stood up to intercede with Sun Hao, he might be implicated even himself.

 "Your Majesty, give me one more chance, and I will definitely attack the city.

 Your Majesty..."

 Soon, a soldier of Zhao Jun rushed up and pushed the begging Sun Hao down, and his voice gradually faded away.

 Not long after, a soldier of Zhao Jun came back, carrying a human head.

 "Your Majesty, the guilty minister Sun Hao has been put to death."

 "Well, hang his head up.

 This king wants everyone to take him as a warning. "Zhao Xie said coldly.

 "promise."

 At this time, many generals of the Zhao army behind Zhao Xie looked at Sun Hao's head which was hung high, with sadness in their eyes.

 They feel sad for this former colleague.

 Zhao Xie's actions chilled the hearts of many Zhao Jun generals.

 You know, Sun Hao is also an old man who followed Zhao Xie, and made a lot of contributions to Zhao Xie, but Zhao Xie killed him just like that.

 How can these generals of the Zhao army not feel sad when they don't even give them a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

 In the hearts of those generals of the Zhao army, there was a feeling of sadness at the death of the rabbit and the fox.

 It can also be seen from this that Zhao Xie is mean and ungrateful.

 Now, Zhao Xie led the army to defeat Wei Bao, captured Taiyuan and Shangdang counties one after another, and took most of Wei Bao's territory.

 Successive victories made Zhao Xie even more inflated, and he was not as close to the generals under him as before.

 Now, those around Zhao Xie are all 'Zhao Gao', who know nothing but flattery.

 These counselors kept advocating Zhao Xie's wisdom when the wind was favorable, but none of them could come up with any good ideas when the wind was adverse.

 Waiting for the generals of the Zhao army on the front line, commanding the soldiers to fight desperately to win the war.

 In the end, it's not as good as these counselors did more credit for flattering Zhao Xie for a while.

 Under such circumstances, over time, it would be amazing if the generals of Zhao Jun were not dissatisfied with Zhao Xie.

 But it's a pity that at this time these generals of the Zhao army were too angry to speak out.

 Just wait and see, when this kind of anger accumulates to a certain level and explodes suddenly.

 At that time, without Qin Jun to fight, Zhao Xie could play himself to death.

 "Mingjin withdraws troops."

 After killing Sun Hao, Zhao Xie felt better. Seeing that it was getting late today and there was no chance to launch a new attack, he gave the order to retreat.

 "Waste, it's all a bunch of waste."

 After Zhao Xie returned to the camp, he called a meeting with his generals, pointed at their noses and cursed.

 "Your Majesty, relying on the strong city walls, the Qin army suffered too many casualties in the storm.

 In the past few days, our army has suffered more than 3 casualties, and has not yet been able to break through Pingyang City.

 There are already soldiers in the army whose morale is not stable, if the fight continues like this, I will be worried..."

 There are generals in the Zhao army who stand up at this time and ask Zhao Xie such a very fatal question.

 Zhao Xie's complexion darkened immediately after the general Zhao Jun said this.

 At this time, Zhao Xie, who was angry, was most annoyed when his generals proposed to withdraw their troops, or gave up the idea of ​​attacking Pingyang.

 "Zhao Kuan, are you just making excuses for your incompetence and cowardice?"

 Next to Zhao Xie was a counselor who was very good at observing words and expressions.

 At this time, after seeing Zhao Xie's face darken, he understood Zhao Xie's thoughts, stood up and yelled at the general Zhao Jun.

 This Zhao Kuang is a powerful general under Zhao Xie's command. He is also an old man who started his family with Zhao Xie, and he is even related to Zhao Xie.

 Zhao Kuang, I have long been displeased with these useless counselors around Zhao Xie.

 At this time, Zhao Kuan, a veteran of many battles, was immediately angry when he was scolded by a little boy.

 Zhao Kuan took a sudden step forward, glared at this person, and shouted loudly: "You are incompetent, you say you are timid?

 It was this general who led the army to kill the enemy, and this general assisted the king in the north and south. When was this general afraid?

 What have you done?What qualifications do you have to say that Ben will be incompetent.ah! "

 Zhao Kuan was also a ruthless man who was killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. He was full of evil spirits. At this moment, he glared angrily at the 'little boy' counselor, and forced him step by step.

 But the 'little boy' counselor was terrified, and he slumped on the ground.

 "My lord, save me!"

 The "little boy" counselor had no choice but to plead with Zhao Xie.

 "Zhao Kuang! What are you doing, do you still pay attention to this king?"

 Zhao Xie was also very dissatisfied with what this veteran under his command did today, and scolded him.

 After Zhao Xie scolded him, Zhao Kuan had no choice but to retreat. He still had illusions about Zhao Xie at this time, and he had no intention of betraying Zhao Xie.

 Even if he hated this "little white face" counselor, he would not be able to kill him in front of Zhao Xie.

 "Your Majesty, I have already said what I wanted to say, please think again, Your Majesty.

 No matter what decision the king makes in the end, the humble minister will obey the king's decision.

 Weichen fought hard all day today and was exhausted, so he went back to the camp to rest first, and weichen resigned. "

 After Zhao Kuan finished speaking, he left Zhao Xie's tent directly to express his dissatisfaction with Zhao Xie.

 "Zhao Qun!"

 Looking at Zhao Kuan's leaving figure, Zhao Xie's eyes were cold, and he roared while gnashing his teeth.

 But this time, Zhao Kuan was determined and left without looking back.

 157 Losing Hearts, Cutting off Water Sources

 [Please recommend for collection! 】

 "General, if you leave like this, His Majesty will be upset. If His Majesty becomes suspicious of you, that would be bad."

 Halfway back to the camp, Zhao Kuan's confidants said to Zhao Kuan.

 "Your Majesty now trusts traitors and kills loyal people by mistake, which has chilled the hearts of many soldiers.

 I want to use this to wake up the king, but the general does not believe that the king will attack the general. "

 Zhao Kuang said confidently.

 Seeing Zhao Kuan's confidence, the confidant next to him wanted to remind him, but he couldn't say it out.

 After Zhao Kuan left Zhao Xie's tent, Zhao Xie's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the other generals of the Zhao army around him were so frightened that they all lowered their heads and did not dare to say more.

 "Go back, and continue to attack the city tomorrow."

 After a while, Zhao Xie shouted at the generals under his command.

 These generals of the Zhao army, as if they had received an amnesty, quickly saluted Zhao Xie and went back to their respective camps.

 "Trash, Zhao Kuan has already left."

 After the generals left, the "little white face" counselor who had been paralyzed by Zhao Kuan hadn't gotten up yet, so Zhao Xie scolded him.

 The "little boy" counselor named Jia Ran got up tremblingly, his eyes were full of hatred when he lowered his head.

 He hated Zhao Kuang to death, and swore in his heart that he would kill Zhao Kuang.

 Jia Ran immediately brought tea and water to Zhao Xie to curry favor with Zhao Xie. He knew very well that all his foundations were on Zhao Xie.

 Soon, Jia Ran saw Zhao Xie sitting there with a gloomy and unhappy look on his face.

 Jia Ran has been following Zhao Xie for a while, and knows Zhao Xie very well, so it is easy to guess why Zhao Xie is unhappy.

 Zhao Xie's appearance at this time was not because of the unfavorable daytime siege, but because of Zhao Kuan's disobedience to him just now.

 Zhao Xie is not only mean and ungrateful, ruthless, but also has a strong desire to control and is suspicious. How could he allow a powerful general who is not under his control to appear.

 You know, Zhao Kuan has more than 3 troops in his hands at this time, and these [-] horses are still the most elite and capable main force in the Zhao army under Zhao Xie's command.

 Originally, Zhao Xie still had a lot of trust in Zhao Kuan, otherwise he would not have entrusted such an elite main force to him to take charge.

 But today, Zhao Kuan's actions completely destroyed Zhao Xie's trust in him, and he even worried in his heart that Zhao Kuan would betray him.

 "My lord, it's time to eat." Jia Ran walked over cautiously and said.

 Zhao Xie looked up at him, and said, "Jia Ran, do you think Zhao Kuan has a second heart for this king?"

 Jia Ran's eyes lit up when he heard this, knowing that his chance of revenge had come.

 "Your Majesty, I dare not discuss General Zhao Kuang privately, otherwise I will be found out by General Zhao Kuang, and I will lose my life!"

 Jia Ran pretended to be very scared and said. ,

 "Hmph, this king asked you to say it, so you just say it, what are you afraid of.

 If this king doesn't kill you, who can kill you.

 Besides, there are only you and me here now, how could Zhao Kuan know. "

 "Then Wei Chen said it."

 "Say."

 "Your Majesty, in the opinion of my humble minister, General Zhao Kuan has already had a second heart.

 Weichen has already discovered the clues, but unfortunately there is no conclusive evidence, so he has been afraid to report to the king. "

 After Zhao Xie heard Jia Ran's words, his expression turned ugly.

 "Tell me more."

 "No, Your Majesty."

 "In private, I have heard from some of Zhao Kuang's confidantes that with General Zhao's ability, he has long been qualified to be enshrined as king like Sima Ang and others.

 It is said that Zhao Kuan secretly sent people to Pengcheng long ago, hoping to get Xiang Yu's enfeoffment, to be independent from the king, to become the king alone, to sit on an equal footing with you, the king, and to divide the two counties of Shangdang in Taiyuan equally.

 After all, according to Zhao Kuang's confidantes, the king was able to take down these two counties, and General Zhao Kuang took at least half of the credit. "

 While talking, Jia Ran paid attention to Zhao Xie's expression, and found that Zhao Xie's expression was uglier than before.

 At the beginning, Zhao Xie called himself King Zhao before Xiang Yu Luoyang enfeoffed the princes of all walks of life.

 As a result, after Xiang Yu was divided into Luoyang, Xiang Yu named him the acting king, Sima Ang, the former number one general under his command, as the king of Yin, and Zhang Er, the original prime minister, as the king of Changshan.

 What Xiang Yu did was tantamount to cutting off Zhao Xie's left and right arms.

 Sima Ang and Zhang Er also took away half of his men and horses, directly reducing Zhao Xie's strength, so he could only hide in Dai County and obediently be a little Dai Wang.

 It was precisely because of this that Zhao Xie held such a grudge against Xiang Yu, and even refused to go to Xiang Yu's second attack on Qin before.

 Later, when Zhao Xie took advantage of Wei Bao's lead to participate in the second attack on Qin, he directly attacked and captured Taiyuan.

 After Zhao Xie learned that Xiang Yu was defeated for the second time and failed to attack Qin, he couldn't help clapping his hands and celebrating. Then he directly resumed his title of King Zhao, abandoned Xiang Yu's title of "generation king", and formally broke with Xiang Yu.

 It can be said that Sima Ang and Zhang Er back then were a thorn in Zhao Xie's heart, a scar, his biggest taboo.

 In any case, it is impossible for Zhao Xie to let him have a second Sima Ang and Zhang Er.

 It was for this reason that after Zhao Xie heard what counselor Jia Ran said, he felt even more distrustful of Zhao Kuan.

 "Jia Ran, what you said is true?
