Chapter 866 The Calm Before the Volcanic Eruption

Zhao Kuo's words immediately stunned Li Mu.

In Li Mu's opinion, it was actually difficult for him to understand. Why did Zhao Kuo actually hope that the child Li Concubine gave birth to was a boy?

So Li Mu couldn't help but ask a question: "Master, if the child Li Concubine was born was a girl, wouldn't it be more beneficial to us?"

Zhao Kuo smiled and said patiently to Li Mu: "In the short term, it is indeed very beneficial to us to give birth to a girl.

Because since Concubine Li cannot give birth to a boy, it is naturally impossible to find ways to target the queen, and the conflict between her and the queen will not be intensified.

But in the long run, since Concubine Li can conceive her first child, she can of course conceive her second child. Once the second or third child gives birth to a boy, several years have passed. Concubine Li and Ping Yangjun as political allies will be very stable, which is a relatively unfavorable thing for us."

Guo Zong, who was standing aside, couldn't help but interrupt and said, "So the Lord's meaning is to hope to use this matter to attack them when the alliance between Concubine Li and Pingyang Jun is not very stable, right?"

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly.

He smiled and said, "That's true. By the way, didn't Lian Po conquer Liaodong just now?

If Lian Po could conquer Liaodong, it would also be a great development for Pingyang Jun's power. By that time, Pingyang Jun would definitely become more and more proud.

On one hand, his allies in the military won the victory, and on the other hand, his allies in the harem successfully gave birth to a son. Then Pingyang Jun can be said to have reached the most glorious moment that he has been able to achieve in this period of time.

This moment is also the most likely time for a person to relax his vigilance because of pride and complacency. As long as we can take action at this moment, then this Pingyang Lord will naturally be easily pushed gently by us, then fell to the ground, and turned into countless pieces with a bang."

When Zhao Kuo said this, his tone was very relaxed, but all the confidants present could perceive a confident and confident confidence from Zhao Kuo's expression.

This confidence immediately infected everyone else present and calmed them all.

Yes, since the lord has already had a complete idea, what else should we ministers worry about?

Just do it according to the Lord's wishes.

In the following time, Zhao's political arena changed again.

First of all, it is obvious that King Zhao's attitude towards Zhao Ke has begun to become much colder, and even when the court meeting was held, Zhao Kuo's opinions were rejected several times in public.

This made everyone realize something was wrong, and Zhao Kuo knew very well that of course it was the contribution of Concubine Li in the palace.

As for Pingyang Jun, he was overjoyed, because almost every time King Zhao rejected Zhao Kuo's opinion, it would inevitably lead to Pingyang Jun becoming a powerful winner.

As for Zhou Shaofen, he was still relatively silent, but once Pingyang Jun and Zhao Kuo had different opinions, Zhou Shaofen either did not speak or spoke, or he would inevitably support Zhao Kuo, which made Pingyang Jun quite helpless.

In general, in the original Zhao State political arena, Zhao Kuo firmly suppressed Pingyang Jun.

However, during this period, as King Zhao began to support Pingyang Jun, Pingyang Jun was able to win a game in some places. In terms of the overall offensive and defensive battle between the two sides, they were still in a 50-5 state.

The fierce struggle in Zhao's political arena also attracted the attention of other countries. A large number of spies from other countries, especially spies from Qin, created a large number of rumors in Handan City during this period, which made Zhao Kuo extremely angry.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo immediately ordered Nightingale to take the initiative to report some evidence about Qin spies in Handan City to the Zhao government.

Then the Handan government naturally followed these evidence to arrest a large number of Qin spies, which made the current Handan Order very proud, feeling that it was all thanks to his own sharp eyes that these Qin people could not show off their power in Handan City.

If things just continue like this, they are still in a relatively controllable range overall, but at this time, a news that is enough to change the situation is again transmitted.

Lian Po won.

After leading the 80,000 Zhao army, Lian Po also attacked the Liaodong Peninsula with great momentum and just conquered seven days ago. It was the largest in the Liaodong Peninsula and the last city occupied by the Yan people - Xiangping City.

After Xiangping City was conquered, Lian Po completely included all the land in Liaodong, Yan State into the territory of Zhao State.

Except for a small number of Yan royals who fled to Jizi North Korea, most of the Yan royals have been captured or killed by Lian Po.

After this war, Yan State completely nailed the last nail on the coffin wood. At least with the power of the Yan State people, it was absolutely impossible to have any chance to turn around.

Lian Po's victory naturally set off a small wave of craze in the country of Zhao, and the happiest among them was undoubtedly Pingyang Jun.

Lian Po won two games this year, defeating the Yuezhi and completely destroying the Yan Kingdom. This was equivalent to stabilizing Lian Po's prestige and completely rescuing Lian Po's prestige that had originally exploded due to the previous defeats.

In addition, many people have become somewhat optimistic about Pingyang Jun because of this matter, and feel that Pingyang Jun has finally begun to defy the worst after being suppressed by Zhao Kuo for a long time.

In response to this, Pang Yan, one of Zhao Kuo's most loyal allies, couldn't help but complain: "Wu Xinjun, many fencemen have begun to feel a little uncomfortable during this period. These guys are swaying very fast."

Zhao Kuo had no intention of hiding this hardcore ally. After a smile, he said to Pang Xian: "Pang Qing, be patient, we will completely solve this matter soon."

Pang Qian was stunned when he heard this.

Then he said with some concern: "Wu Xinjun, can this matter really be solved?

You know, you have said it several times before."

After hearing this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing and said to Pang Xian with great certainty: "The reason why it was not solved before was because all kinds of variables interfered with our plan, but this time the plan shouldn't have any flaws."

Zhao Kuo was also a little helpless when he said this. He did not expect that it was originally a relatively simple plan to defeat Pingyang Army, so why did there be so many variables along the way when it was realized?

If you think about it carefully, most of these variables are actually caused by King Zhao. After all, King Zhao controls the highest power of Zhao State, and with Zhao Kuo's current power, he still cannot compete with King Zhao for the time being.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and thought silently in his heart: "Soon, this problem of the king... should be solved."
