Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 245
Zang Tu suspected that this was Wang Lishi's plan to slow down the army, but because both Zhang Er and Chen Yu agreed to a truce with the Qin army.Therefore, Zang Tu couldn't say anything more.

The Qin army and the Yanzhao coalition army temporarily ceased fighting, and Zhao Wang Wuchen also breathed a sigh of relief.But because Handan is still close to the frontier of fighting with the Qin army, Wu Chen feels that the most important thing at present is to move the capital.

Handan, Zhao Palace.

The military minister is sitting on his throne, and the next confidant, Guan Xi, is reporting the movements of the Zhao royal family in Handan.

"You mean, Xu Gong, the important minister of the lonely king, has close contacts with that Zhao Xie?" After hearing Guan Xi's report, Wu Chen asked inconceivably.

"Yes, Your Majesty! According to the sentry's report, Xu Tingwei has indeed been in close contact with Dr. Zhao! Moreover, Zhao He, the general of Zhao Xie's family, has also entered and left Xu Tingwei's mansion many times." After Guan Xi bowed his hands to the military minister, Replied cautiously.

Ever since Zhang Er and Chen Yu took away most of the soldiers and horses in the country, the military minister's temper began to become a little irritable.He was very worried that Zhang Er and Chen Yu would be like Han Guang, who would stand up and kick him, King Zhao, who had not many troops.As the confidant of the military minister, Guan Xi was naturally aware of it, so he was very cautious in the face of the military minister's inquiry.

"If it wasn't for relying on Mr. Xu to obtain the land of Handan County, how could the lonely king let this scumbag sit on such a high position? I didn't expect that this Mr. Xu would be so unbearable! Before the lonely king was defeated, he started Planning to seek refuge with others! The lonely king never thought of that!" Wu Chen said in a deep voice exuding his own majesty with sharp eyes.

"Your Majesty! Do we need to arrest Xu Gong and Zhao Xie together?" Guan Xi asked, as if he was about to get angry, he cupped his hands and asked for instructions.

"Don't worry, the lonely king doesn't believe that Zhao Xie is just collaborating with Mr. Xu! I'm afraid there are still many people in Handan City who secretly have contacts with Zhao Xie." Wu Chen waved his hand and said. "Continue to order people to monitor, and at the same time send people to continue to investigate secretly!"

"Here!" Guan Xi cupped his hands in response, and then asked, "Your Majesty, where do you want to move the capital?"

"The Gu Wang sent someone to ask Xiangguo and the general for their opinions. Both of them persuaded the Gu Wang to move to Julu. Although the Gu Wang is also moved, he is a little restless!" The military official frowned, Said with some anxiety.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry! Now the Qin army with Wang Li is temporarily in a truce. The 15 troops of Yan State in Shexian County and the [-] troops under the general's command can guarantee that the Qin army will not dare to act rashly. Xiangguo can join the former general Li Liang Leading an army of [-] to return to Handan, on the one hand, it can deter the younger generation in the country, and on the other hand, it can also make the general dare not to divorce the king!" Seeing that the military officials were very anxious, Guan Xi offered a suggestion.

Hearing Guan Xi's suggestion, Wu Chen was a little moved.After thinking about it for a long time, the military official praised: "This plan is good! Guan Xi, you have made a great contribution to the lonely king again!"

"It's all the king's decision, not Guan Xi's work!" Guan Xi said humbly upon hearing this.

"Okay!" Wu Chen waved his hand, looked at Guan Xi and said. "The lonely king is not a person who rewards and punishes unfairly. You should move your position as a doctor! Then you will be promoted to admonishing doctor, and you will be given a hundred gold and a hundred acres of fertile land. How about it?"

"My lord, I thank the king for your reward!" Guan Xi immediately knelt down and thanked him.

Zhao Xie's mansion.

"You said that Wuchen has already sent someone to watch me?" Zhao Xie asked the family general Zhao He in disbelief while drinking tea.

"Yes, my lord! When I went down to Xu Tingwei's mansion, I found someone following him. Moreover, there are many more strangers near the mansion!" Zhao He sat upright, folded his hands and answered Zhao Xie's question.

After hearing Zhao He's answer, Zhao Xie didn't seem to care much.He smiled lightly and said: "There are only a few peddlers around the mansion! Can this be said that Wu Chen is watching us again? Mr. Zhao, don't be too nervous, you must know that Wu Chen is not as wise as you think! "

"My lord is right! I was worrying too much!" Seeing that Zhao Xie didn't care much, Zhao He had no choice but to cup his hands.

Waving his hand, Zhao Xie signaled Zhao He to go down.Seeing this, Zhao He had no choice but to back down.

As soon as he left the courtyard, Zhao He shook his head and sighed, "Sigh! You don't know you are in danger, and you still refuse to listen to persuasion. Zhao Xie! Zhao Xie! When will you be able to restore our Ancestral Temple of Sheji here? Above the land of Zhao!"

Hao Jie, who had always had a rift with Zhao He, happened to hear Zhao He's sigh, and went to look for Zhao Xie after Zhao He left.

"My lord!" Seeing that Zhao Xie was reading a book, Hao Jie had no choice but to salute softly.

"Hao Jie is here!" Zhao Xie put down the letter in his hand and said with a smile.

Zhao Xie's two great officials are Zhao He who is a descendant of the Zhao royal family like himself, and Hao Jie who is in front of him.Of the two, Zhao He is the most capable, and Zhao Xie has to go through Zhao He's hands to accomplish anything; while Hao Jie is not very capable, but he is good at flattering horses and has won Zhao Xie's trust.

"My lord! This subordinate once heard Zhao He criticize my lord!" Seeing that Zhao Xie was not in such a bad mood, Hao Jie cupped his hands and framed him.

As soon as he heard Zhao He's name, Zhao Xie's eyes became a little sharper and he asked: "How did he criticize Zhao He? Tell me!"

"Zhao He bluntly said that if it wasn't for his lord, he would not be able to sit under the military minister as a doctor, and he would not be able to contact the old Zhao Guizhou to plan to assassinate the military minister and restore Zhao. And..." Hao Jie was talking While paying attention to Zhao Xie's expression, he saw that Zhao Xie's expression became more and more gloomy.He immediately stopped, not daring to speak again.

"Go ahead!" Zhao Xie said in a deep voice when he saw Hao Jie stopped talking.

Hao Jie swallowed his breath, and boldly continued, "Besides, Zhao He complained that the lord would not be able to restore the State of Zhao's Sheji Ancestral Temple on this land of Zhao without his help!"

"Zhao He! Zhao He! Zhao He!" After Zhao Xie finished listening, his voice full of anger grew louder.

"Go, bring Zhao He's head to someone!" Zhao Xie ordered to Hao Jie after saying Zhao He's name angrily.

"My lord, don't do it!" Hao Jie didn't expect that things would go beyond his estimate. He thought it would be enough to hit Zhao He's position in Zhao Xie's heart.Unexpectedly, Zhao Xie would actually send someone to kill a retainer who had made a lot of contributions, which made Hao Jie feel a little terrified.

"Why?" Zhao Xie asked Hao Jie angrily.

"If Zhao He is beheaded at this time, then Xu Gong will definitely not run for the lord's return to the country. It will also make the military officials guard against the lord, making the lord's return to the country even more difficult!" Hao Jie was sweating profusely. Zhao Xie explained.

"Do you want Zhao He to criticize someone so much?" Zhao Xie was also a little scared when he heard the words, but because it was about his dignity, he asked back.

"What if the lord weakens Zhao He's power step by step for the time being, and then the subordinates go to win over Zhao He's subordinates in the name of the lord. After the lord returns to the country, he will settle the final score with Zhao He! How about it?" Hao Hao Seeing that Zhao Xie had calmed down a bit, Dang even suggested.
