Under no circumstances would Li Jian not allow Zhao Kuo to talk about something outrageous like Bai Qi to happen.

There is no way, who made the Battle of Changping so profound in my memory?

What's more, there are not other generals in Zhao State, so why do you have to let Zhao Kuo go?

Hearing Li Jian’s objection, Pingyuan Jun suddenly showed a dissatisfied expression on his face.

"General Zhao Kuo clearly has enough ability, why can't he let him fight?"

"Now, looking at our entire Zhao State, only General Zhao Kuo is the most suitable candidate."

Pingyuan Jun was obviously very anxious at this time.

After all, the position of this main general is definitely something that everyone wants to strive for.

To face Bai Qi, the risks are of course greater.

But if Bai Qi's attack can be successfully blocked, the benefits obtained will be also huge.

Compared with this huge profit, the risks behind it are actually nothing.

If Zhao Kuo loses, that is also Zhao Kuo's main responsibility.

With such a consideration, Pingyuan Jun has no psychological pressure.

But Li Jian would not give in so easily.

It should be said that Li Jian could not give in to this candidate.

Li Jian said coldly:

"I know this general Zhao Kuo very well."

"What he is good at is nothing more than talking about war on paper, and it is still a very long distance from being able to command thousands of troops to fight."

"At this time, facing a powerful enemy like Bai Qi, General Zhao Kuo will only harm him."

"What's more, if the young general really needs to be used, I also have a better candidate than General Zhao Kuo."

When he heard that the king and minister of Zhao were in the hall here, he was moved.

Although Zhao Kuo has many problems, it must be admitted that Zhao Kuo is already the best among the younger generation of Zhao generals.

Now Li Jian actually said that he could recommend someone who is more powerful than Zhao Kuo, which of course made everyone curious.

Even King Zhao couldn't help but ask:

"Who is this candidate? Tell me quickly."

From the perspective of King Zhao, if there is really a better young man, he will naturally be happy to see it.

Li Jian coughed gently under the attention of everyone, and then spoke.

"This person is Li Mu, the general of our Zhao State."

"Li Mu was born in the border cavalry army and has very rich experience in commanding cavalry combat."

"Not only that, he also led by example in the war to destroy Yan State by Dupingjun."

"Although Li Mu is young now, he has experienced hundreds of wars."

"This kind of general is truly honed from the war, has rich experience, and knows how to deal with a cruel enemy like Bai Qi."

"Compared with Li Mu, General Zhao Kuo lacks experience in war, and I cannot accept giving the responsibility of the leader to General Zhao Kuo."

Listening to Li Jian’s talk, the king and minister of Zhao in the hall were also thoughtful.

Pingyuan Jun sneered and said:

"I thought I had any great ideas. It turned out that it was just a no-name general."

"This so-called Li Mu is far worse than General Zhao Kuo, and it is not at the same level at all."

"If you ask him to be the chief general of our Zhao army, you are truly irresponsible to our Zhao State!"

Of course, Pingyuan Jun refused to give in and absolutely did not agree with the candidate proposed by Li Jian.

Li Jian didn't say anything nonsense, and looked directly at Pingyuan Jun.

"Since that's the case, then how about we bet?"

Pingyuan Jun said indifferently:

"Li Qing even though I come, I want to see what kind of bet you want to make with me."

Li Jian looked at Pingyuan Jun and said lightly:

"No matter whether the king chooses Li Mu or Zhao Kuo, as long as someone recommended by both of us becomes the main general, we will bear responsibility."

"If Li Mu, whom I recommended, fails to fight, I will resign from the position of this big pedestrian."

"By the same, if Zhao Kuo fails, ask Pingyuan Jun to resign from all your positions, how about it?"

Pingyuan Jun obviously never expected that Li Jian would make such a bet.

Pingyuan Jun was stunned for several seconds before shook his head and said:

"It's simply outrageous. I recommend talents for our Zhao State. If you have to take such a heavy responsibility for recommending talents, who will dare to recommend talents in the future?"

Li Jian said with a giggle smile:

"Mr. Pingyuan, what you said is unreasonable."

"It's not just you who will shoulder the responsibility of failure. If the candidate I recommend fails, I will also resign."

"Or it is actually not so confident in Zhao Kuo, so you dare not take my bet?"

Li Jian's eyes looked directly at Pingyuan Jun, and the light burst out from inside made everyone present jump in his heart.

Everyone can see that Li Jian is definitely playing the game this time. He really wants to recommend Li Mu as the head general of Zhao's army.

Pingyuan Jun's face was gloomy and he couldn't speak for a long time.

For Pingyuan Jun, he was definitely unwilling to bind his destiny to Zhao Kuo.

Pingyuan Jun thinks he is a chess player in the political arena of Zhao State, and Zhao Kuo is just Pingyuan Jun’s chess piece.

How can a chess player survive and die with a chess piece?

Pingyuan Jun hesitated for a long time, but still spoke up and rejected Li Jian's proposal.

"Your proposal is too much, and I can't accept it."

"But I still stick to my opinion. General Zhao Kuo is definitely the most suitable candidate to serve as the chief general."

Although Pingyuan Jun was completely unwilling to be outdone in his words, everyone knew that Pingyuan Jun had actually lost in this game.

The reason why Pingyuan Jun lost was not because he was not capable enough, but because Zhao Kuo dared to make a fuss.

Li Jian was willing to use his wealth, life and political future to guarantee Li Mu, but Pingyuan Jun did not dare to use his wealth, life and political future to guarantee Zhao Kuo.

King Zhao knocked on the table and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Everyone was quiet, and everyone knew very well that the moment this king should be the time for the decision.

Will they choose Li Mu or Zhao Kuo?

The candidate for this main general is likely to be the watershed in the fate of Zhao State.

Amid everyone's expectations, King Zhao spoke:

"I have considered the candidates recommended by both of you, but they all felt that they were not suitable."

"General, be prepared immediately and set out to Yewang City to regain control of the army. You must block Bai Qi and never let Bai Qi enter our Shangdang County. Do you understand?"

After hearing King Zhao's decision, everyone present showed unexpected expressions on their faces.

Everyone really didn't expect that King Zhao would hand over the military power back to Lian Po's hands again.

Even Lian Po himself was very surprised. It took several seconds before he came to his senses.

"Thank you for your kindness, please rest assured. I will do my best. It is absolutely impossible for that guy Bai Qi to succeed!"?

King Zhao looked at Lian Po’s loyal look and sighed.

"General, I did have some misunderstandings about you before."

"But after these days of investigation, the misunderstanding has been resolved. If you serve me and Zhao State well, I will never treat you badly."

When Li Jian, who was standing beside him, was not a little funny.

The so-called rumors against Lian Po were themselves a farce led by King Zhao.

If King Zhao really believed Lian Po so much, how could such a farce happen?

Li Jian could also understand King Zhao's thoughts. He just felt that neither Zhao Kuo nor Li Mu were very reliable.

Tian Dan was defeated again, so the only reliable general in Zhao State is of course Lian Po.

From this perspective, this King Zhao is really capable of bent and stretching.

The court debate ended here. When everyone left the hall, they found that the first light of dawn had already lit up outside.

Before I knew it, one night passed like this.
