Chapter 759: The Undercurrents of Zhao Guo Dynasty
Handan Palace City, Longtai.
Zhao Dan sat in the upper head seat, and all six important officials from Zhao State took their seats in the lower head seat.
Whether sincere or not, everyone's face is full of smiles.
Obviously, the situation of the war is very optimistic for Zhao State.
On the right side of the hall, a huge map was hung on a wooden shelf. Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao Guo, held a wooden stick about the same length as him, and he was very proud of using the wooden stick to point fingers on the map, which looked quite like a strategist.
"You all know that Ningling has been captured by Ju Xin five days ago. Ju Xin then crossed the Sui River, captured the first city south of Sui River, and came to Xiangling City. Xiangling City ordered Kaicheng to surrender, Ju Xin's next target is Yongqiu northwest of Xiangling."
"Zhao Kuo led his army to siege the qitai, and has not yet conquered it, but according to the rewards from the front line, it should have been the case in the past two days."
"Xiangcheng Order led the people of Xiangcheng to surrender voluntarily, and personally brought a large number of supplies to the army to work in order to ask the royal army to trait Suiyang and to crush the rebel Duan Ganzi's bones and raise ashes."
One by one, all of them are good news, so it’s no wonder that Zhao Sheng smiled so happily.
Zhao Dan nodded and looked at Lian Po and Pang Yan on the head.
Pang Xian's body moved slightly, looked at Lian Po, and did not speak.
Lian Po stared at the map for a while, then said, "King, judging by the current situation, I think Ju Xin should not attack Yongqiu in the northeast, but should cross the river and go south to attack Kuxian, Yangxia and Chengfu and other cities. In this way, the retreat of Suiyang City can be completely cut off and Duan Ganzi is completely surrounded by a large army."
Zhao Dan smiled and listened to Lian Po's opinion, and then said, "Yes, Wu Xinjun's words are indeed very reasonable. Pang Qing, what do you think?"
Of course Pang Yan has something to say.
In the political arena of Zhao, everyone knows that Ju Xin and Pang Xian are in the same group. Now that Lian Po openly question Ju Xin's march route, how could Pang Xian be indifferent?
Pang Yan decided to fight back, and it was a very sharp counterattack.
Why? Because recently, some rumors have begun to be revealed from the Zhao Kingdom Palace, that is, Zhao Dan is not very satisfied with the current situation of the seven important officials of Zhao Kingdom. He seems to intend to add one seat to eight people.
This is also an easy thing to understand. After all, it is necessary to argue with four to four votes, which can reflect the importance of Zhao Dan's decisive vote.
It is worth mentioning that according to the rumors revealed in the palace, although the newly promoted important minister has not decided who it is yet to decide, this person is definitely a general.
Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew very well that it must be a secret instructed by the king to make such a sound.
Since that's the case, this news must be taken seriously.
Looking at the military boundaries of Zhao State, except for Lian Po and Pang Xian, two members of the seventh-level officials, there are only three people who are qualified to compete for this new seat.
Li Mu, Le Cheng, Ju Xin.
Among these three people, Li Mu is undoubtedly the most eye-catching and the most likely candidate to think of at the first time.
Li Mu's record of winning since his debut was the biggest reliance on Li Mu. His reputation as the "No. 1 Cavalry General in China" is so famous that he is the world. The position of the Northern Strategic In command of the Northern Seven Counties has completely highlighted Zhao Dan's incomparable trust in him.
But Li Mu's shortcomings are also very obvious. First of all, Li Mu took five years to go from a lower-level officer to the position of the Northern Strategic Inspector of Zhao State. It can be said that he was flying at the same speed, and naturally he would inevitably be jealous of many people.
Therefore, although there are many supporters of Li Mu, there are many people who don’t like Li Mu.
Another point is that Li Mu has not been in the political center of Zhao State for a long time, and has not had much contact with all the important officials of Zhao State, which has led to no strong ally in the court who can stand up to support him, which is also a major flaw.
There are people in the court who are easy to be an official, and this sentence is really not just a saying.
So many people think that Li Mu will definitely become one of the important officials in the future, and even have the hope of becoming the Zhao Guoxiang Bang in the future.
But by the standard of being an important official rather than a famous general, Li Mu seems to be a little tender now, and maybe he will have to wait a few more years.
After all, Li Mu is only in his thirties, and he is the age of no need to worry.
Next is Lecheng.
Le Cheng is an old partner of Lian Po and an old subordinate. Before Pang Nuan appeared, Le Cheng was the second-ranked figure in the Zhao military for a long time.
The biggest feature of Lecheng is stability, as stable as Mount Tai.
Whether it is marching and fighting or training soldiers on weekdays, Le Cheng has always been a perfect match and does not make any mistakes. He is a reassuring general.
Whether it is qualifications, abilities, or even from the perspective of connections, Le Cheng is also a very stable candidate.
Le Cheng himself had strong support from the Le clan of Zhao State, and also had old bosses like Lian Po to provide help. In addition, Le Cheng is now the main general of the Zhao State's army to attack Wei, so great achievements after destroying Wei are indispensable.
With all the benefits added together, everyone thinks that Le Cheng is the person with the most hope of becoming the eighth important official in Zhao State, or the eighth giant.
But Le Cheng is not without opponents.
His opponent was Le Cheng's deputy general in this war against Wei, and his current position was Ju Xin, the rank of the Central Army of Zhao State, who was on par with Le Cheng.
Ju Xin was born in Zhao. In terms of qualifications, he was also an important official of Yan. Although he had failed to defend Hedong County after joining Zhao, he was understandable after all, facing Bai Qi, Wu'an Jun of Qin.
And after that, Ju Xin also had the outstanding record of guarding Shangdang County and added points to him and made a comeback.
Compared to Le Cheng's unsurprising and stable situation, Ju Xin is a player who sometimes makes people a bit scam, but sometimes gives people a big surprise.
Moreover, Ju Xin is also not lacking in support. The two tycoons, Zhao Sheng and Pang Nuan, are undoubtedly Ju Xin's most determined supporters.
After all, since Zhao Bao ended in disgrace, the Zhao Duke Sect only had two giants, Zhao Sheng and Pang Nuan, for a long time. They were really overwhelmed by the common people and were desperately needed new allies to join the North Korea to support them.
Moreover, the public clan faction is not without advantages. In recent wars, Pang Nuan overwhelmed Lian Po twice in a row when competing for the main general. Many people think that out of checks and balances, Zhao Dan may also increase the public clan faction to the three-man Hao and continue to fight against the common people.
Therefore, Ju Xin is also favored by many people.
If this comes, for the sake of the position of this giant, the two major factions of Zhao will obviously start working at the first meeting after hearing the news.
After all, who will this future giant belong to? That is not the matter of the king? So no matter what, it is definitely not a disadvantage in front of the king.
Pang Nuan cleared his throat, looked at Lian Po again, and then said slowly and firmly: "Wu Xinjun's words really surprised me, it is a big fallacy!"
