It was late at night, but the palace in Handan City was brightly lit tonight.

Countless palace guards were fully armed, holding weapons and patrolling everywhere. Once any unrelated person was found walking around and appearing in the palace, they would directly kill him on the spot! King Zhao was in the main hall of Longtai, and orders were constantly coming from the hall and quickly spreading to every corner of Handan City.

The city guards of Handan City were also mobilized under the order of Handan Order Zhou Shaoliang, and surrounded Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, Wenxin Jun Lin Xiangru, and Wuding Jun Le directly in the mansion of three people.

Half an hour later, the mansions of Wenxinjun Lin Xiangru and Wudingjun Lecheng were successively captured, and the city guards flocked into the mansions of these two people, controlling all the people in the mansions, and all men, women, young and old were taken to prison.

This is the cruelty of political struggle. Once this last moment comes, the enemy is the enemy, with no gender and age at all! However, compared with the smooth operation of the other two mansions, the city guards' attack on the mansion of Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng was in big trouble.

As one of the famous "Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period", Pingyuan Jun likes to do the most in daily life to "raising scholars", that is, to raise a large number of servants in the mansion.

During the Battle of Changping, there were more than 3,000 visitors in Pingyuan Jun’s mansion, and now it has reached an astonishing more than 5,000.

Not every of these disciples was willing to die for Pingyuan Jun, but even so, a team of nearly 3,000 disciples were still organized in Pingyuan Jun’s mansion.

This team of visitors fought back, but instead defeated the city guards who attacked Pingyuanjun's mansion and fled in scattered areas.

The news quickly reached the main hall of Longtai. After hearing the news, King Zhao was stunned at first, and then furious: "What's wrong? These city guards are so useless, and they can't even beat a team of visitors?"

Zhao Kuo thought about it and felt it was necessary to explain: "King, Pingyuan Jun is very famous and treats his guests very well on weekdays. He can even give them a concubine to his guests for them to enjoy. His guests are loyal and determined to fight. If he is not careful, he will suffer a great loss."

As he said that, Zhao Kuo did not forget to look at Pingyang Jun.

There is another reason why Pingyuan Jun’s disciples work so hard, that is, the “cutting the roots” proposed by Pingyang Jun.

It was precisely because of the news that Pingyuan Jun's disciples panicked and could only choose to fight to the death. Instead, they had the effect of a mourning soldier winning and defeated the city guards who were not prepared for the intensity of the battle.

If Zhao Kuo followed Zhao Kuo's policy of "only punishing the evil people and not taking care of the others", most of Pingyuan Jun's disciples would inevitably surrender directly. Even if there were two or three hundred loyal disciples fighting to the death, it would have nothing to do with the overall situation.

Now that this defeat is the most serious defeat, Pingyang Jun has to take the blame.

Pingyang Jun obviously understood what Zhao Kuo meant, and his old face couldn't help but turn red.

But at this time, it is impossible to make Pingyang Jun surrender.

King Zhao has not announced the candidate for the prime minister so far. Isn’t it that he is still hesitating about who to choose Pingyang Jun and Zhao Kuo?

Pingyang Jun must fight and let King Zhao know his importance! Thinking of this, Pingyang Jun gritted his teeth and couldn't help but speak, "King, there are some disciples in my mansion. It's better to let my disciples join this war. My disciples also have some combat power and will definitely be able to take down those disciples of the rebel Zhao Sheng!"

It has reached this point, so Pingyang Jun simply stopped calling him a brother.

When King Zhao heard this, he felt a little hesitant.

King Zhao was not stupid either. This failure seemed to be a problem for Zhou Shaoliang, but if you think about it carefully, it was obviously due to the strategy of Pingyang Jun killing everything.

Since Pingyang Jun has failed once, should you continue to believe him?

After thinking about it, King Zhao turned his gaze to Zhao Kuo again.

"Wu Xinjun, you are the strongest general of Da Zhao. What do you think about this?"

King Zhao still decided to listen to Zhao Kuo's opinions, after all, Zhao Kuo is good at fighting.

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is relatively easy to solve.

These disciples of Pingyuan Jun were just a group of scattered soldiers and had no organization or discipline. Although they won a battle while the city guards were not careful, as long as the king was willing to let the person recommended by me lead the troops, I promised that the city guards would definitely be enough to defeat Pingyuan Jun's disciples!"

King Zhao was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Who is it?"

Zhao Kuo said seriously: "That is the retainer of the minister, Li Mu, the commander of Chiyou Army! As long as the king needs to hand over the command of the city guards to Li Mu, then Li Mu will definitely be able to pacify Pingyuanjun's mansion before dawn!"

To deal with a group of disciples, Zhao Kuo certainly couldn't take action personally, so why should he use a slaughter to kill a chicken?

Therefore, Li Mu is the best choice.

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, Pingyang Jun hurriedly said, "No! The City Guards are the only armed forces in Handan except the Palace Guards. How can they be easily handed over to a retainer?"

Pingyang Jun’s meaning is also very simple, so I clearly don’t trust you Zhao Kuo! Anyway, everyone is working for a short period of time. Needless to say, the future political arena of Zhao State is, that is, Pingyang Jun and Zhao Kuo compete for hegemony.

If that's the case, why not start from now on?

After hearing the words of Pingyang Jun, King Zhao immediately began to be confused again.

Zhao Kuo smiled calmly and did not speak.

Anyway, in this situation, the thousands of visitors from Pingyuan Jun will definitely not shake the overall situation.

If the trouble continues, the one who is embarrassed is King Zhao and King Pingyang, and it has nothing to do with Zhao Kuo.

So, Pingyang Jun suddenly realized that he had made a move, but Zhao Kuo refused to take it. Instead, he looked calm and gentle, which made Pingyang Jun feel like he had punched the air.

Seeing Pingyang Jun’s face ashamed, King Zhao began to come to his senses.

The problem is actually very simple - if Zhao Kuo takes action, then the military power will definitely be given.

If Zhao Kuo is not allowed to take action, the problem cannot be solved.

So... King Zhao made up his mind and said, "Mr. Wu Xin, I will enthrone Li Mu as General Handan, and ask someone to inform Handan to order Zhou Shaoliang to hand over the military talisman to Li Mu!"

When King Zhao decided, Zhao Kuo immediately smiled and bowed to King Zhao and said, "Please don't worry, Lord, Li Mu will definitely not disappoint the king!"

On the other hand, Pingyang Jun wanted to object, but after hesitating for a while, he could only shut his mouth helplessly, feeling unhappy.

This time, he actually stole the limelight from Zhao Kuo!
