Chapter 885 The appearance of an emperor

King Zhao still did not speak.

Wang Zheng and others were secretly anxious, fearing that King Zhao would give up the great cause in his heart.

Last night they learned that King Zhao had gone to see the former prince, and they felt bad. Sure enough, when King Zhao came back, he asked them to stay put and postpone crossing the river.

This was a huge blow to Wang Zheng and others.

Since ancient times, military commanders’ merits have come from the battlefield. How could they achieve military merit without fighting?

And these people are willing to follow King Zhao, and everyone has a little bit of hope in their hearts. If King Zhao's rebellion succeeds, won't these people have the merit of following the dragon?

If you perform outstandingly during this period, your status in the future will naturally be different.

It was also a coincidence that Shengze and the others arrived at Chenzhou on the day King Zhao ordered to cross the river. Xu Yang also went to invite King Zhao, so King Zhao had no time to arrange anything he wanted to do.

Xu Yang belonged to the late emperor and had dealt with King Zhao before. His appearance meant that Shengze had taken control of the power left by the late emperor.

Although King Zhao wanted to conquer the world, he always wanted to sit on the throne of God legitimately, which restricted his actions to some extent.

For example, this time, Xu Yang's appearance made King Zhao dare not go against Sheng Ze's wishes.

But King Zhao was very unwilling to do so. An expert had previously observed his appearance and made it clear that he had the appearance of an emperor, and the current situation was in his favor. If he didn't do something now, he would probably regret it in the future.

King Zhao was thinking carefully in his heart at this time, but Zhao Ling was very nervous at the moment.

Father will not give up this opportunity, right? If he were to let him go, his position in the mansion would be embarrassing.

Zhao Ling and Zhao Bing, brothers who were at odds with each other, could no longer maintain superficial harmony. Zhao Ling was able to stay with King Zhao this time, but it was only Princess Zhao who had used all her tricks to keep Zhao Bing in the house.

If King Zhao does not send troops, then after Zhao Ling returns, Zhao Bing will definitely try to hinder him overtly or covertly, and may even complain to King Zhao. It will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to lead troops in the future.

Everyone present had their own thoughts, and no one knew how long it had passed before King Zhao finally spoke.

"The troops stationed in Chenzhou are stationary, and other forces are rushing to attack Linzhou and stationed thirty miles away from Linzhou, waiting for my king's order."

Wang Zheng and others looked happy and worshiped one after another: "Your Majesty is wise!"

King Zhao's words sounded like nothing at first, and those who didn't know thought they wouldn't fight.

But Wang Zheng and the others had followed King Zhao for so many years, and they knew very well what this "thirty miles" meant.

All recruits of King Zhao's army will participate in a special training, which is the Thirty Mile Run.

The so-called thirty-mile dash refers to running thirty miles in the shortest time. The standard for passing this training is that after arriving at the destination, the heartbeat cannot exceed 120 beats within 100 breaths.

One breath is equivalent to one second, which means that after running for thirty miles, the heart rate cannot exceed 100.

This standard is very strict, and not many people can qualify. However, there is such a qualified army in King Zhao's army, which shows how elite this group of people who are rushing are.

Zhao Ling was even more excited and looked at King Zhao expectantly.

However, what King Zhao said next made Zhao Ling feel cold.

"Sincerely," King Zhao looked at Qin Zhilu, "you will lead the troops this time!"

Qin Zhilu's spirit perked up, he cupped his hands and said: "The last general takes orders!"

King Zhao looked at Wang Zheng again, "Wang Zheng, I will give you another chance. You will still coordinate this battle in Linzhou. I have only one request."
