History vs. fiction
Here it refers to King Xiaocheng of Zhao; both books record that he appointed Zhao Kuo during the Battle of Changping.
The Records of the Grand Historian, Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, records: 'In the seventh year, Qin and Zhao troops confronted each other at Changping... The King of Zhao believed Qin's spies... The King of Zhao then appointed Kuo as general, replacing Lian Po.' In the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, chapter 98, there is a similar plot: 'The King of Zhao was greatly pleased, and immediately appointed Zhao Kuo as supreme general, bestowed gold and silk, and sent him with the imperial seal to replace Lian Po, and added 200,000 elite troops.' Both books record the historical fact that he used Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po.
