Facing the accusation of King Zhao, Prime Minister Tian Dan bowed to King Zhao Dan and said, "King, this battle with the Qin army is a big deal. It is a war related to the national destiny between Zhao and Qin! General Lian Po is right now. Qin's national strength is really better than our country. Only by adhering to the defensive policy and investing more troops can we resist the Qin attack!"

Then he begged: "King, I have sent people to Wei and Chu to send letters, asking them to send troops to assist our Zhao in attacking Qin. In this way, as long as our Zhao army is in Shangdang, we will continue with the Qin army for a period of time. When Wei and Chu send troops, the Qin army will retreat."

"Prime Minister, I just ask you, what about food and grass? Now that our country of Zhao provides food and grass for a large army of 300,000, it is already extremely difficult. If we increase our troops, can our country of Zhao bear it?"

Zhao Dan was furious and told Tian Dan.

Tian Dan was not rushing and said to Zhao Dan: "King, for our Zhao State, the situation is a critical moment of life and death! Defeating Qin State is the most important thing for our Zhao State today. Our Zhao State can send envoys to Yan, Qi, Wei, Han, and Chu State to state the interests and ask them to send troops to help me. This is one of them;

Second, they send envoys to Qi State, and neighboring Yan State to borrow grain. If necessary, they can return some of the cities occupied by Qi State and Yan State. Seeing this, these two countries will inevitably be grateful to our Zhao State and easily borrow grain from me."

Looking at the young king Zhao Dan, his almost twisted expression.

Tian Dan gritted his teeth and continued, "King, the third point I said is to draw border troops to join the decisive battle with the Qin army.

King, this requires that our country Zhao must now have good friends with neighboring countries, especially Qi and Yan. Our country Zhao has received responses from Wei and Chu. If we have good friends with Qi and Yan, we will have no worries about our country Zhao. Second, it will also easily allow our country Zhao to obtain food and military resources, which will help our country Zhao and Qin to confront each other for a long time.

King, more importantly, in this way, the border troops led by Li Mu of Dai County and Pang Yan were transferred back to join Shangdang to fight the Qin State in a decisive battle. In this way, the number of our Zhao army would be far greater than that of the Qin army. Taking advantage of the time when the Qin army had just occupied several counties in Shangdang and had not yet established a foothold, and our Zhao State had no shortage of food and supplies with the help of various countries, and it was possible to defeat the Qin army."

The young king Zhao Dan could no longer hold it back and shouted to Tian Dan: "What? I have to bow my head to Qi and Yan and return its city. You... Prime Minister... You really disappoint me! Are you the Prime Minister of Zhao? Or Qi and Yan? Don't forget, you were exchanged for dozens of cities in Zhao!"

Seeing the king he assisted in like this, Tian Dan sighed, closed his eyes, and tears flowed out. He sighed in his heart: "I'm sorry, Queen Zhao Wei, I can't assist Zhao State anymore! The old minister has let down your expectations for me!"

He slowly opened his eyes and said to Zhao Wangdan: "King, the old minister is old and plagued by illness. He cannot assist you. The old minister now wants to resign from the position of prime minister. I hope the king will be right!"

The young king smiled anxiously and said to Tian Dan: "Okay, I'm sure. Prime Minister, you can go home and enjoy your old age!"

After saying that, he threw his sleeves and headed towards the back hall.

In the eleventh year of King Wucheng, in late seventh month of the lunar calendar, Tian Shan resigned from the position of Prime Minister of Zhao.

Immediately, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng was appointed as the new prime minister by Zhao Wangdan.

After the news of Zhao Xiang’s resignation spread, it shocked Zhao State.

Lin Xiangru, the Shangqing of Zhao Guo, who was recuperating and treating illness at home, heard the news and struggled to climb down from the sickbed, and said to his old wife who was serving him, "Get ready, I'm going to meet the king."

The old wife cried and said, "You are so physically, why do you care about so many things? Many people in the court now say that you, the old ministers, are incest and unwilling to step down, and that Zhao Kuo and other outstanding people will not be able to get on the throne! If you do this, will you implement these rumors more?"

Lin Xiangru shook his head and said to his wife, "What do you know? When Ma Fujun was alive, he once said to me: "Weapons are the place of life and death, and the major matter of the survival of the country. But his son Zhao Kuo only knows how to talk big and know how to use troops like a joke. If Zhao Kuo leads his army, our country of Zhao will die and have no place to bury it!"

Now that the battle between Zhao and Qin is approaching, I will feel at ease with Tian Dan, Lian Po and other experienced and strategic people! Don’t worry about these things, hurry up and let people prepare. I will go to the palace to meet the king.”

The old wife didn't dare to say much, so she had to ask someone to prepare a carriage and horse to send Lin Xiangru to meet you.

But what made Lin Xiangru depressed was that when he came to the palace and asked to see Zhao Wangdan. After a long time, a servant came out and said to Lin Xiangru: "The king has an order. The king knows what Lin Shangqing wants to come. You don't need to take care of Tian Shan's remarks about the prime minister. You don't need to worry about Tian Shan's resignation, go home and take good care of the illness. Now, Zhao Sheng, the Lord of Pingyuan, has been appointed as prime minister, and there is no reason for the change."

When Lin Xiangru heard this, he sighed to the sky and said, "In this way, my Zhao State is in danger!"

Then he told the coachman: "Go to Master Yu Qing's Mansion."

Because of the former Wei prime minister Wei Qi a few years ago, Yu Qing resigned from the position of Prime Minister Zhao. He originally planned to go to Wei, but was stopped by Lin Xiangru and stayed in Zhao.

Lin Xiangru, an old friend who came to his house, came to the study room, looked at his old friend who was still breathing. He sighed and said, "You are already in this way, and you are still running around like this! Don't you have any life?"

Lin Xiangru took a sip of water, calmed down, and said to Yu Qing: "The king has dismissed Tian Dan's position! He replaced it with the Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng. Now that the battle between Zhao and Qin is about to be fought, I am very worried, and I may have an unexpected accident!"

Yu Qing stood up and sighed, "The king is young and energetic, and he values ​​short-term profits but forgets the long-term. He is in good terms with Qi and Yan, and uses the cities occupied by our country, Zhao, to exchange for the Qi and Yan's strategy of supporting food, grass and materials for the two countries. This is the best strategy for our country."

Then he shook his head and sighed to Lin Xiangru: "Tian Dan had discussed this matter with me before. I agreed with Tian Dan's opinion. But... but now it is not the period when the former king and Zhao Wei are in power. What can we do if the king refuses to adopt it?"

After hearing Yu Qing's words, Lin Xiangru sighed like Yu Qing. The two of them sat in the study, speechless for a long time.

Handan, Ma Fujun Mansion.

After hearing this news, Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Now, the reason why our Zhao State can be bullied by Qin State is Tian Dan, and the old men like Lian Po are in love with power and are unwilling to let the wise men. This is a big heart and exciting thing for the king."

Then he said to the old housekeeper next to him: "Prepare the gift, I will go to Pingyuan Jun's mansion in person to congratulate Pingyuan Jun on being Zhao Xiang."

Handan, look forward to the crown prince’s mansion.

After Le Yi fled from Yan State to Zhao State, he was treated as the Zhao State and was named Wang Crown Lord.

At this moment, Su Dai, who came to the mansion and reported the news of Tian Shanci, said: "The King of Zhao is as young and energetic as the former King of Yan Hui, who ascended the throne in Yan State. At this moment, the battle between Zhao and Qin is about to come, but Tian Shanci happened in Zhao State."

Speaking of this, he shook his head slightly and said to Su Dai: "I think that in this battle between Zhao and Qin, the Shangdang, may happen again, our Yan State attacked Qi, and the army will be defeated!"

After hearing this, Su Dai said to Le Yi: "What the general said is very true. Tian Shan knows military affairs and is good at strategy. When our Yan State attacked Qi, he defeated this man, and we came to Qi from Yan, and thanks to this man.

Now that Zhao State has changed its status, although Pingyuan Jun is known as "virtuous", in terms of military strategy, it is far from being inferior to Tian Dan! I am afraid that this battle between Zhao and Qin will be in danger! General, can you write to King Zhao to explain this matter?"

Le Yi shook his head again and said, "I heard that Lin Xiangru, the Supreme Minister of Zhao State, wanted to enter the palace to meet the King of Zhao, but they were rejected by the King of Zhao. We, the people living in Zhao State, wrote a letter that might make King of Zhao dislike him, but it would be unbeautiful!"

Su Dai nodded, remembered something, and said to Le Yi: "General, do you know that my Yan State is in Liao and has established two counties?"

Le Yi smiled and said to Su Dai: "I often communicate with old friends such as Ju Xin, Zou Yan and others, and I have written letters. That young master Ji Kang is not bad for me, the descendant of the previous king of Yan Zhao, who did such a big thing at such an age, which is admirable!"

Then I didn't know what I thought of, and my heart felt sore and I closed my eyes.

He spoke slowly and said to Su Dai in a trembling voice: "I really want to go to Liao, go to see old friends, go to see the young master Kang, who is often said to be very similar to the old king Zhao of Yan, go to see the prosperous Liao land, is it true? I am ashamed of Zhao's old king!"

After saying that, two lines of old tears rolled out.

Seeing this, Su Dai's eyes turned red and he didn't speak for a while.

After a long time, Le Yi opened his eyes and said to Su Dai: "Mr. Su, you may have received a letter from Liaodi, right?"

Su Dai looked at Le Yi and nodded.

Le Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Su, I am honored as a guest of honor by King Zhao. If I go to Liao again, it may not be appropriate. Now, the four counties in Liao are in our country of Yan, which are the time to use people. Lord. Su, you can go to Liao to assist Prince Ji Kang. The emperor can repay the kindness of the previous king of Yan Zhao, and the inferior can show his ambitions for life."

Su Dai thought for a while and said, "I'm not hiding the general, I'm just thinking about it. I'm the same as the general. I can only wait for the opportunity to say goodbye and go to Liao."

After hearing this, Le Yi sighed and said, "That's all!"

Shangdang, Guanglang City, General's Mansion.

After receiving the letter from the Shangqing Lin Xiangru, veteran Lian Po learned about Tian Shan's remarks.

With emotion, he said to Feng Ting, the governor of Shangdang County: "The king is dissatisfied with our loss of Shangdang four counties and guarding the defense line of Kongcangling!"

Feng Ting was shocked and said to Lian Po: "Elder General, what should I do?"

Lian Po sighed to the sky: "Only by doing everything, we will leave our will!"

When the news of Tian Shanci's reign reached Qi State, the regent queen was very unhappy to see this. She said to the ministers: "Since Zhao State treats people who have made contributions to our Qi State, I underestimate our Qi State! In the future, our Qi State will not need to communicate with Zhao State."

All the ministers are like this.
