Handan Miyagi, Longtai.

After more than a month of diplomatic activities, Zhao Dan and his five ministers gathered in Longtai again.

But this time, the atmosphere was significantly different from the last time Zhao Dan had just crossed over.

The atmosphere of the last meeting was somewhat depressing, after all, the Qin army was pressing, and Zhao was worried about internal troubles, so I couldn't help but worry about these Zhao bigwigs.

But now it's different.

Now that the two good news of Qi borrowing grain and Chu sending troops have spread, although Zhao is still on the defensive and holding the Qin army on the Changping front for the time being, it has changed from a disadvantage to an advantage in one fell swoop because of the success of diplomacy.

In addition, those who speak confidently in the main hall have also changed a faction.

Yu Xin sat upright on his knees with wide robes and big sleeves, and his whole person was full of energy, and he talked eloquently: "The 200,000 troops of the Chu army have now surrounded Wancheng, and they will be conquered in a few days." If Wancheng is broken, then Danyang and Dengcheng can also be taken down, so the Qin army Nanyang County has fallen, and Nanjun is also in danger, Qin Wangji will not be able to sit idly by, and our army on the front line of Changping will usher in a turning point. ”

Yu Xin's voice was extremely loud and spread throughout the entire hall.

Of course, the secretary of Zhao State has a reason to say it so loudly, because the dispatch of troops by Chu State was only facilitated by Yu Xin's envoy, and of course he has this conspicuous capital.

Relying on the merits of my ability, why can't I show off? Not only to show off, but also to show loudly, let the king, let the entire Zhao country, and let the world know that this is the credit of my Yu Xin!

It's not just Yu Xin, even Lin Xiangru, who is sitting next to Yu Xin, has a smile on his face.

As the leader of the Buyi faction, the pressure on Lin Xiangru a while ago was extremely huge, and Lian Po's defeat on the Changping line gave the Gong faction enough to attack frantically, and once made the Buyi faction unable to raise its head in the Zhao court.

But with the return of Yu Xin and Zhao Sheng from their respective missions to Wei and Chu, all this was completely different.

Zhao Sheng, the leader of the Gong Clan, set off with confidence, and then came back in embarrassment, and the Wei side denied Zhao Sheng's request with almost no twists and turns, making Zhao Sheng and the Gong Clan faction lose face.

On the other hand, Yu Xin on the side of the Buyi faction, after he sent an envoy to the Chu State, he was immediately successful, and he moved 200,000 troops of the Chu State at once, which was undoubtedly a handful of salt on the wounds that had been torn apart by the Gong Clan faction.

Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is that when you fail, there is a successful person standing next to you and you in stark contrast, and what is more terrible is that this successful person is still your political enemy...

At this moment, the Gongfang side is like a child who has barely passed the exam with 60 points, and has just returned home, standing in front of the parent holding a rattan with anger on his face, but he hears the neighbor's child shouting from the window: "Dad, I scored 98 points in the test this time!" ”

This kind of "other people's child" is really the most annoying!

At this moment, Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of Zhao State, sat there depressed, looking at Yu Xin, who was proud of the spring breeze, and it was really not a taste in his heart.

With the return of Yu Xin and the mission, what happened in the court of Chu at that time had already been rumored, not to mention the high-level of Zhao State, and now even more than half of the people in Handan City know the story of how the strong man Mao Sui went to the palace with a sword and persuaded the king of Chu.

What made Zhao Sheng want to vomit blood was that this Mao Sui was originally Zhao Sheng's own disciple, but now he has helped Yu Xin to make such a great contribution, what is this.

Although it was said that Mao Sui was asked by Zhao Dan from Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng did not have any dissatisfaction with Zhao Dan because of this.

The reason is very simple, although Zhao Dan did use Mao Sui to help Yu Xin, but don't forget that Zhao Danke also specially advised Zhao Sheng when Zhao Sheng was on an envoy, which means that he also gave Zhao Sheng an idea, and did not help Yu Xin alone.

Yu Xin reused Mao Sui sent by Zhao Dan, and with the help of Mao Sui, he completed the task very successfully. Zhao Sheng did not listen to Zhao Dan's instructions and failed in the mission.

Thinking about it from this point of view, if Zhao Sheng had listened to Zhao Dan's words, would he have a great hope of success?

So now seeing Yu Xin like this, Zhao Sheng's heart was so regretful that he was about to drip blood: "If I could listen to the words of the king that day, how could I make this Yu Xin so ambitious, so behaving, it's just infuriating!" ”

But there is no regret medicine in this world, so no matter how much Zhao Sheng regrets it in his heart, he can only watch the high-spirited Yu Xin guide the country there, fancy pretending to be B.

Zhao Dan, who was at the top, took in the different expressions of Yu Xin and Zhao Sheng in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little funny in his heart, but more speechless.

After all, Zhao Dan, as a traverser, was very aware of the impact of the Battle of Changping, which was definitely a battle that Zhao Guo could not afford to lose.

Now that the three kingdoms have joined forces, it is true that they have the upper hand, but if Zhao Sheng does not take matters into his own hands and obey Zhao Dan's instructions, then it is now the four kingdoms to attack Qin, and in that case, this battle will really be nine out of ten.

So Zhao Dan's heart is still a little dissatisfied with Zhao Sheng's failure, such an important matter has been messed up, it's just a pit and a widow!

Zhao Sheng's defeat also sounded the alarm for Zhao Dan, although this Pingyuan Jun has always had a good name, and he is also loyal to Zhao Dan, but it is obvious that Zhao Sheng's ability is relatively limited, and it seems that it is not a good decision to let Zhao Sheng continue to stay in the position of Zhao Guo's prime minister.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiangru on the other side, and felt a little pity in his heart.

Although Lin Xiangru is enough to replace Zhao Sheng as this Xiangbang in terms of ability, Zhao Dan, as a traverser, knows that Lin Xiangru's life is about to come to an end, and if nothing else, I am afraid that he will not survive this year...

It's only been a little more than a month, and Lin Xiangru's whole person has become more old and haggard, as if he is ten years old, and his body is trembling slightly when he even kneels there, and anyone who sees it knows that his time is running out.

Zhao Sheng has a good candidate for Xiangbang in his heart, that is, Yu Xin, who successfully returned from the envoy Chu State, Yu Xin is good at national strategic planning, and the overall situation is very good, but the details are lacking, so it is very suitable for Xiangbang's position of leading the overall situation.

If Lin Xiangru can live a few more years, Zhao Dan can completely let Lin Xiangru replace Zhao Sheng's position as Xiangbang, and then slowly cultivate his henchman Yu Xin to lay the foundation for Yu Xin's ascendancy.

It's a pity that time is running out! Since Lin Xiangru is about to die, then Zhao Sheng, Xiangbang, can't move.

Although Yu Xin can be regarded as the future Zhao Xiang candidate in Zhao Dan's heart, after all, Yu Xin is now with little qualifications and not many contacts, so he must give Yu Xin a few years to sharpen and cultivate his power, and wait for Yu Xin to have his own people before serving as Xiangbang, so that he can successfully complete the transfer of power and not cause internal turmoil in Zhao State.

When Zhao Sheng replaced Tian Dan as Xiangbang, it didn't cause waves, that was because Zhao Sheng already had half of the power of Xiangbang, so he was able to smoothly transition, but now Yu Xin does not have such a good foundation and conditions as Zhao Sheng.

At such a critical moment when there is a strong enemy outside, the internal stability of Zhao must be stabilized, and any trace of turmoil is something that Zhao Dan cannot tolerate.

After thinking about it, Zhao Dan could only reluctantly give up the plan to remove Zhao Sheng's phase.

But fortunately, this is not the theme of Zhao Dan's meeting today, and when Yu Xin is almost there, Zhao Sheng's face is getting darker and darker, and he is about to be the same color as the bottom of the pot, Zhao Dan, as the king, finally coughed in time and refocused everyone's attention on himself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's get back to the topic and talk about the matter of Yan and Wei."
