Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Zhao Kuo said to Le Jian very calmly: "Mr. Chang, I can't believe that after such a long time, you still did not choose to surrender. Have you forgotten that you were originally from Zhao?"

After capturing Le Jian and escorting Le Jian back to Zhao State, the Zhao State government sent people to persuade Le Jian to surrender for a long time.

You must know that Lejian's father, Le Yi, was from Zhao. Le Yi had to leave Zhao for Yan because of the outbreak of the Dune Palace in Zhao.

Later, in the battle against Qi State, Le Yi fell out with King Yanhui who had just ascended the throne and was relieved of his position as the general. He also returned to the State of Zhao, and was named Wang Zhujun by King Zhao.

Le Cheng, Zhao Kuo's former political opponent, was also Le Jian's clan uncle. From this point of view, Zhao Kuo said that Le Jian was a native of Zhao, and there was indeed no problem.

Why persuade Lejian to surrender?

The reason is actually very simple.

Zhao Guo's government didn't care about Le Jian's talent. To be honest, in Zhao Guo's government, there are many people who are better than Le Jian.

The reason why the Zhao government wanted to persuade Le Jian to surrender was mainly because Le Jian, as an important minister of the Yan State, would undoubtedly serve as a very good example if he could choose to surrender.

We all know that the people of Yan and Zhao have very violent temperaments, so even though Zhao Guo conquered the land of Yan State and brought it under the rule, disobedience to Zhao State, or even secretly resisting Zhao State on the land of Yan State still happened from time to time.

Under such circumstances, if an important official of the Yan State like Le Jian can choose to surrender to the Zhao State, it will undoubtedly help the Zhao State to ease the resistance of these local people in the Yan State, and it will also allow the State of Zhao to control the land in the State of Yan. Governance is simpler.

It is a pity that although there are so many benefits, this Chang Guo Jun Le Jian has been very firm in rejecting the persuasion of Zhao Guo's ministers to surrender in the past few months.

Zhao Wang, who had a great headache, had to hand over this task to Zhao Kuo, hoping that Zhao Kuo, the opponent who had defeated Le Jian on the battlefield, could break Le Jian's psychological defense again, so that Le Jian could be used by Zhao Guo .

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Le Jian raised his head slowly and stared at Zhao Kuo.

Although the whole person looked very embarrassed, the expression in Le Jian's eyes was still very indifferent, and Zhao Kuo could even read a firm expression from his eyes.

Le Jian said slowly: "The country of Yan has now perished. As a subject of the country of Yan, I want to be buried with the country of Yan. This request is not too much, right?"

Zhao Kuo said to Lejian: "Mr. Chang, you want to be buried with Yan, this loyalty is quite admirable.

But have you ever thought about it, even the King Yan who lost his throne did not die for Yan, why would you die for such a king? "

This sentence obviously touched Le Jian's sore spot, causing the expression on Le Jian's face to change slightly.

But in a very happy moment, he came back to his senses and said to Zhao Kuo: "It's the king's business to be greedy for life and fear death. I have naturally fought for the country of Yan for so long. I want to die for the country of Yan. , that is also my own business."

Zhao Kuo continued to speak: "Have you forgotten your old colleague Guo Wei, Prime Minister of the State of Yan?

He didn't have any feelings of wanting to die for the country of Yan, and it was even his betrayal that made our country of Zhao easily destroy the country of Yan.

Guo Wei can be regarded as your old boss. He naturally represents the aspirations of most Yan State officials. Can't you follow the voice of other Yan State officials? "

After hearing the name Guo Wei, the expression on Le Jian's face changed obviously, and a look of hatred flashed across.

This expression was quickly covered up by Le Jian, and he said coldly: "Guo Wei's desire to surrender is Guo Wei's own business, and what does it have to do with me?

And isn't it enough for your country of Zhao to have Guo Wei's surrender?

Why must I also surrender? "

Zhao Kuoxiong shrugged his shoulders, and said to Le Jian in front of him: "To tell you the truth, I don't care at all whether you surrender or not. I came here this time just following the orders of our king.

However, since you are also a native of Zhao, I still want to persuade you a few words.

It's easy for you to die, but have you ever thought about what will happen to your wife and children after you die? "

Le Jian couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, and roared at Zhao Kuo: "Zhao Guo has already reached such a point, is he going to do something to other people's wives and children?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "You are wrong, the one who did something to your own wife and children was not our country of Zhao, but you.

Since you are unwilling to surrender to our country of Zhao, your wife and children are naturally captives to our country of Zhao. As prisoners, their treatment will not be any different from other prisoners.

Women will be sent to some mansions to be servant girls, or even sold as slaves, while men can only be sold as slaves for a lifetime.

This is not only the rule of our country Zhao to treat prisoners, it is also the rule of Yan country from the whole of China to treat prisoners, isn't it? "

Zhao Kuo's series of rhetorical questions made Le Jian unable to speak, and his body began to tremble.

Zhao Kuo continued to speak flatly: "You have to know that the Le family in Zhao Guozhong basically no longer exists because of that idiot Le Cheng.

If you are still so stubborn and insist on not continuing to surrender, then the Le family in Yan Kingdom will also be wiped out from now on.

Do you really want to make your wife and children suffer so much because of your selfishness, and make your family completely disappear from our Chinese history? "

Zhao Kuo's rhetorical questions became more and more sharp, and Le Jian's body trembling became more and more obvious.

Zhao Kuo stared at Le Jian, knowing that it was time to launch the final general attack: "Okay, today is your last chance.

If you really still want to refuse to surrender, then I will go back and report to the king immediately, and let him execute you tomorrow, which can be regarded as fulfilling your wish, how about it? "

These words finally completely broke Le Jian's psychological defense.

He raised his head and said to Zhao Kuo in a trembling tone, "I, I surrender!"

Chapter 819 Le Jian Surrendered?Mr. Pingyang is stupid

King Zhao's Palace.

King Zhao sat in the hall, staring at a memorial in front of him, his face was obviously hesitant.

After a long time, King Zhao said to Lord Pingyang in front of him: "Mr. Pingyang, it's not that I don't want to approve it, but you should discuss the list of candidates on this memorial with Lord Wu Xin."

Zhao Wang was looking at the candidates for the newly established county guards in the Yan Kingdom.

Among these few candidates, all the candidates are on the side of Lord Pingyang, and none of them are candidates from Zhao Kuo's side.

This is obviously not in line with Zhao Wang's check and balance strategy.

Lord Pingyang couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, and smiled apologetically: "My lord, these candidates are all very mature officials. If they are allowed to go, they will definitely be able to stabilize the situation in the counties of Yandi in a short time."

King Zhao shook his head and said lightly: "The situation in Yandi cannot be stabilized by just one or two officials. If you want to stabilize the situation in Yandi, you still have to rely on the cooperation of those surrendered officials."

Although the State of Zhao had occupied the land of the State of Yan for almost half a year, the people of the State of Yan did not accept the rule of the State of Zhao, and instead broke out many times of resistance.

Although these resistances were easily suppressed by Zhao Guo's garrison, there must be killings wherever there is resistance, which has caused the people in Yandi to be still very turbulent.

Lord Pingyang's face changed again, and he said after a while: "If it is true that according to what Lord Wu Xin said, Guo Wei and others will be appointed as the county guards of Yandi again. If they join forces with the remnants of the Yan Kingdom in Liaodong, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous? Big risk?"

When the governor of Yandi was appointed, Zhao Guo's political arena was divided into two factions as always.

Lord Pingyang's opinion is very simple, that is, all officials from the State of Zhao must be appointed, preferably all officials from Lord Pingyang's side.

Zhao Kuo's opinion is also very simple, that is, of course the officials of the State of Zhao must use it, but only the surrender of the State of Yan can better help the State of Zhao to stabilize the situation in a short period of time.

At the beginning, Zhao Wang was actually more inclined to Pingyang Lord's idea.

However, after the actual implementation, Mr. Pingyang's idea encountered many setbacks.

Many officials sent by Zhao Guo to Yandi were assassinated as soon as they arrived, which made everyone feel insecure, and later they dared not go down to the grassroots.

Even the people at the grassroots level cannot be reached, so how can we talk about ruling the people in Yandi?

So now Zhao Wang's attitude has changed, and he feels that Zhao Kuo's idea is a good idea.

Zhao Wang said calmly: "The remnants of Liaodong?

Yan Guo Liaodong now only has less than 2 remnant soldiers and defeated generals, and was also attacked by Jizi North Korea, losing troops and losing generals.

At this time, even self-protection is a problem for the remnants of Liaodong. How can they have any intentions to regain their homeland?

And as far as I know, the remnants of the Yan Kingdom who fled to Liaodong are now divided into several parts that do not belong to each other. The whole force is even weaker, so what threat can it pose? "

After Zhao Wang said something, Pingyang Jun was speechless.

This is a young Zhao Guoguo. Although he looks inexperienced, he has one of the biggest characteristics of young people.

Zhao Wang will not give anyone face, as long as he thinks it is not good, he will speak out directly.

This made Pingyang Jun very uncomfortable.

But no matter how uncomfortable he was, Lord Pingyang couldn't openly contradict King Zhao.

So Lord Pingyang immediately changed the topic: "What the king said is certainly reasonable, but the real key person among the captured ministers of Yan Kingdom, Chang Guojun Le Jian, has not yet agreed to surrender. If Le Jian does not surrender, Yan Kingdom will be captured. The captured ministers are also unwilling to cooperate."

This time, King Zhao's face changed, and he said a little unhappy, "This Lejian is obviously from our Zhao country, why has it become the spiritual pillar of Yan people now?"

Lord Pingyang hurriedly said: "Le Jian's father, Le Yi, led an army to attack Qi State, but he defeated Qi State to the point where only Jimo and Jucheng remained.

If it weren't for King Yanhui being too stupid to let Qi Jie replace Le Yi, Qi State might really perish.

Le Yi represents the most powerful era of the Yan Kingdom, and Lejian has been fighting bloody battles for the Yan Kingdom until the last moment, so it is not surprising that he is admired by the ministers of the Yan Kingdom. "

King Zhao snorted heavily, and said, "He is a traitor! Forget it, didn't Mr. Wu Xin go to persuade Lejian today? Maybe Mr. Wu Xin can have an effect."

There was a flash of light in Jun Pingyang's eyes, and said: "My lord is joking, Wu Xinjun has always been best at war, and persuading others is not his strong point.

Besides, Lejian lost to Wu Xinjun many times, but Lecheng, Lejian's clan uncle, fell because of Wu Xinjun. He and Wu Xinjun had a deep hatred, so how could he obey Wu Xinjun's words and surrender? "

Jun Pingyang's words are extremely firm, obviously the whole person is very sure.

When King Zhao heard the words, he immediately hesitated.

Jun Pingyang's words sounded very reasonable indeed.

A few seconds later, Zhao Wang said with some distress: "Why has this place been taken down, and governance has become a difficult task?"

Jun Pingyang chuckled, this is what he wanted.

Majesty, don't you listen to the old man?

That king can't solve the problem!In the end, don't you have to obediently follow the old man's opinion?

This is a truly brilliant method, moistening things silently!How can that reckless man Wu Xinjun compare with the old man?

At this time, someone announced: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu Xin seeks an audience!"

King Zhao hurriedly said, "Quick, let him in."

Mr. Pingyang chuckled, ready to watch the play and appreciate Zhao Kuo's rare failure scene.

Zhao Kuo came in and saluted King Zhao.

King Zhao couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Wu Xin, what happened to your persuasion to surrender Lejian?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and said calmly: "Back to the king, I have persuaded Lejian that he is willing to surrender to Da Zhao and do things for Da Zhao."

Pingyang Jun heard the news and almost fell over, he couldn't believe it and shouted: "Le Jian is willing to surrender?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Yes, Le Jian is willing to surrender."

Pingyang Jun said in shock: "This, how is this possible?"

Pingyang Jun also went to persuade Guo Lejian at the beginning, and even persuaded him more than once, but they were all unsuccessful.

Zhao Kuo only went there once, and it was a success?

At this moment, King Zhao burst into laughter.

"Okay, great.

Wu Xinjun, the widow knows that you will surely make the widow feel at ease! "

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Everywhere, it's all about the wiseness of the king, and the minister is just following the orders of the king."

King Zhao was in a good mood, and immediately expressed emotion: "If the orders issued by the widow can be handled well by the officials below like Lord Wu Xin, then it would be great!"

This sentence was like a slap in the face of Pingyang Jun, which made Pingyang Jun's face change drastically.

What the hell, it's just saying by name that Mr. Pingyang can't handle things!

Chapter 820 Contact between Zhao Kuo and Eunuch Ling

Compared with Mr. Pingyang, Zhao Kuo's expression is naturally much calmer.

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think you can consider sending people like Le Jian and Guo Kai to guard the local area of ​​Yan State, but we only need to let them appease the masses.

As for the really important official positions, such as county guards and county lieutenants, of course they still have to be controlled by our Dazhao officials.

The forces that can really resist in Yandi have been almost wiped out by us now, and the remaining people who want to resist basically choose to flee to Liaodong, so as long as a certain size of garrison is maintained in the future, it should not be a problem. "

King Zhao couldn't help admiring when he heard the words: "Mr. Wu Xin is indeed a man who seeks to seek the country! No wonder the father and queen have always trusted you so much. Now I know the ability of Lord Wu Xin! How about it, you go back and draw up a county plan. Candidates for guards and county lieutenants will be selected for the widow, and then the widow will see which talents are worthy of being sent to Yandi!"

Jun Pingyang listened to Zhao Wang's words of praise, and his already ugly face suddenly became even uglier.

Just at this time, Zhao Kuo turned his head and took a look at Pingyang Jun.

Although Zhao Kuo didn't say a word, the meaning in his eyes was completely and accurately expressed, Mr. Pingyang, you really can't do it!Pingyang Jun's body trembled, and he almost couldn't help the anger in his heart, wanting to fight Zhao Kuo to the death.

But considering the age and physical gap between the two parties, Pingyang Jun finally gave up wisely.

Although Zhao Kuo is not the kind of general who likes to charge into battle, after all, he has been in the army for a long time, and he comes from a family of generals, so he still has regular exercise.
