As soon as Zhou Shaoliang said this, Zhou Shaofen was shocked: "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Shaoliang said with a sarcasm: "Have you never thought about it?"

If you really kill Pingyang Jun in the future, then the person who will be the opponent of Zhao Kuo next is likely to be our Zhou clan.

If that is the case, wouldn’t it be easier for us to join forces with Pingyang Jun to kill Zhao Kuo first and then turn around to deal with Pingyang Jun?”

Zhou Shaoliang's words immediately made Zhou Shaofen fall into thinking.

To be honest, from the perspective of logical thinking, there is nothing wrong with this statement.

If you choose one of Pingyang Jun and Zhao Kuo as an opponent, Zhao Kuo will undoubtedly be the more difficult one.

In the past decade, Zhao Kuo has won political victories again and again, and at the same time, he has been able to continuously expand his strength through military victories.

On the other hand, Pingyang Jun, although Pingyang Jun is now the prime minister of Zhao State and is also the uncle of King Zhao, he is very noble and has a huge power, but this is not the case with the Zhou brothers who are familiar with the inside story.

Nowadays, the power of Pingyang Jun is even smaller than that controlled by Zhao Kuo. As for prestige, it is far less than that of Zhao Kuo. If you fight against Pingyang Jun in the future, the difficulty will be much less.

As the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. For those of the Zhou brothers who are ups and downs in the political arena, officials who do not want to be a general are also not a good official.

If you want to be a prime minister, the two mountains that are now placed in front of the Zhou brothers are Zhao Kuo and Pingyang Jun.

To reach the peak of power, the Zhou brothers must move these two mountains one after another, so that there can be real hope.

So now is actually a choice. Among these two mountains, which one should be moved away first to be more in line with the interests of the Zhou brothers and the future prospects of the Zhou brothers?

At this moment, Zhou Shaofen suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders becoming heavier.

He had to make a very correct decision, otherwise the entire Zhou family would be completely affected by this wrong decision, and it would be impossible to disappear from the political arena of Zhao from now on.

Zhou Shaoliang saw that Zhou Shaofen didn't say anything, so he spoke again.

"Brother, I understand your concerns. You think Wu Xinjun is really hard to defeat, so you want to hide under his wings.

But have you ever thought about one thing, that is, Wu Xinjun is indeed difficult to mess with, but there is another person who is even more difficult to mess with, that is, the king.

After Wu Xinjun took control of power, he might not do any other actions, but for the king, can he tolerate Wu Xinjun controlling the power of our Zhao State alone?

The king will definitely support another faction to fight against Wu Xinjun, and our Zhou family is the most suitable partner.

We don't have the right to refuse, are we?

If we really reject the king's proposal, the Zhou family will be directly affected.

So we can only agree to the king's proposal. In that case, we will still be hostile to Zhao Kuo in the future.

Instead of fighting against a powerful Zhao Kuo in the future, it is better to take advantage of Zhao Kuo’s first step to get rid of him before he reaches the peak. Wouldn’t that be better?”

After Zhou Shaoliang finished saying this, the entangled expression on Zhou Shaofen's face became more and more obvious.

I have to admit that what Zhou Shaoliang said is becoming more and more reasonable, and it also makes Mr. Zhou more and more excited.

Zhou Shaoliang couldn't help feeling proud when he looked at his brother who had been completely shaken.

In contrast to Zhou Shaofen, Zhou Shaoliang actually lacked enough favor and respect for Zhao Kuo in his heart.

When he was the prefect of Hedong County, Zhou Shaoliang and Zhao Kuo fought against Qin together.

But in that war, Zhao Kuo was the one who planned the battle for thousands of miles, and Zhou Shaoliang only acted as the logistics captain.

Not only that, Zhou Shaoliang was slapped in the face by Zhao Kuo for his wrong judgment on the war.

Although the so-called slap in the face of the relationship between the two sides at that time, Zhao Kuo did not really take it seriously, it was just a joke.

But for Zhou Shaoliang, he remembered it deeply in his heart.

But Zhou Shaoliang was not a fool. He knew very well that the Zhou family still needed Zhao Kuo's protection and support at that time, so he kept hiding this dissatisfaction with Zhao Kuo in his heart.

However, now that the Zhou family already has two important officials of the Zhao State and can participate to a greater extent and even determine the fate of this Zhao State political struggle, Zhou Shaoliang's disgust towards Zhao Kuo inevitably broke out.

Now, Zhou Shaoliang feels that this is the moment that can completely end Zhao Kuo.

Now you only need to get the recognition of your brother Zhou Shaofen, and the whole plan will be completed.

After a long time, Zhou Shaofen spoke.

"Second brother, what you said is indeed very reasonable.

But after thinking about it, I feel that we cannot betray Wu Xinjun, at least not now."

Zhou Shaoliang was stunned and widened his eyes in disbelief: "Why can't it?

This is obviously the best opportunity!”

Zhou Shaoxin sighed and said, "Have you forgotten?"

Over the past few years, our Zhou family has always been an undercover chess piece in Wu Xinjun's hands."

Zhou Shaoliang said with some displeasure: "Brother, the past is the past, and the future is the future, how can we confuse it?"

Zhou Shaofen shook his head and said, "I'm not trying to confuse them, I'm just going to tell you that it's because of so many years of undercover experience that our Zhou family has a lot of contact with Wu Xinjun in secret.

The current situation is that if we join forces with Pingyang Jun to kill Wu Xinjun, then Wu Xinjun and his men will definitely promote the relationship with us before they die.

Once the king and Pingyang Jun know about the undercover relationship between us, then Pingyang Jun can easily use the king's anger to get rid of our Zhou clan. Do you understand what I mean?"

After hearing these words, Zhou Shaoliang was stunned.

I have to say that what Zhou Shaofen said is indeed more reasonable.

Although everyone is doing things like undercover, once exposed, it will definitely cause disgust among others.

Once Zhao Kuo is eliminated, Zhao Kuo will definitely choose to pull the Zhou clan to reveal himself that this is definitely not the result that the Zhou clan wants to see.

Zhou Shaoliang said unwillingly: "If this is the case, then wouldn't our Zhou clan be held in the palm of his hand for the rest of his life?"

Zhou Shaofen also shook his head and said, "No, you said it wrong.

As long as we can get rid of Pingyang Jun and find a way to defeat Wu Xinjun, we will be the most powerful force in Zhao's political arena. So what if the undercover identity is exposed?

We were truly safe at that time, do you understand?

No need to say anything more, let’s just decide on this matter. I will prepare a carriage and go to Wuxinjun’s mansion immediately!"
