"I won't say any more unnecessary words!" There was not a trace of smile on Zhao Kuo's stern face, and his serious face made people think that it was the Zhao army that was surrounded and not the Qin army several miles away.
Zhao Kuo, who had experienced the bitter experience of popping champagne at halftime, didn’t want to do it again.
A soldier's life and death is a matter of life. Even though his side has an absolute advantage, Zhao Kuo still treats this battle as a bitter battle. All the preparations were made according to the highest standards, for fear that the damn Bai Qi would catch the slightest flaw and overturn the situation.
Fortunately, under the training of Lian Po, all the soldiers under his command were full of fighting spirit and cautious towards the Qin army. Their determined eyes made Zhao Kuo feel stable.
"The Qin Dynasty will be broken today." Zhao Kuo pulled out the long sword from his waist with a "噌" sound, and all the generals also clasped their fists and prepared to take orders.
Just when he was about to issue the general order to set off, he heard a long announcement outside the tent.
The generals also looked nervous. Not to mention the impact of the temporary interruption of the expedition order on morale, how urgent should this temporary report be to be so abrupt?
Zhao Kuo was shocked. He still understood the principle of making a big effort but then failing again and again. At such a critical moment, which scout without a sharp eye would dare to report? Unless there is something big that affects the overall situation.
There was no way, the forward swing of the ultimate move had been interrupted. Although Zhao Kuo was a little angry, it was not easy to show off in front of everyone. The voice was cold and authentic: "Come in!"
A scout came in after hearing the order, then knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands and lowered his head and said: "General, Lord Pingyang has arrived outside the camp and is heading towards the central army with the king's order flag. Because he has the king's order with him. , there is nothing the captain can do to stop him, and he specially orders the general to come and guarantee his trust."
"Bang!"
Zhao Kuo slammed his hand on the table and rushed straight into the Chinese army's tent with the king's order flag. The person who came was Pingyang Jun who opposed the Shangdang war. He knew with his toes that he came with bad intentions. But what made Zhao Kuo even more depressed was that the soldiers under his command did not dare to block it when they saw the so-called king's order? !
How about learning from Xiliuying? What kind of royal messenger, what kind of bullshit flag? Even if the emperor comes in person, it won’t work!
He was angry, but after passing this matter, Zhao Kuo finally understood clearly that his army was still far behind the real elite army.
Of course, how to organize the army and prepare weapons is a matter for later. What is important now is how to deal with the so-called king's envoy who is not good at coming.
Zhao Kuo was actually already murmuring in his heart. Could it be that the scene in "The Wind Rises in the Nirvana in Fire" where Xun's chief assistant blocked the army before the battle was going to happen to him again?
It shouldn’t be! Even if he has great achievements, it will only happen after fighting this battle! What's more, even the three-year-old children of Zhao State should know the significance of this battle. How could they interfere at this time, the most critical moment of the battle? Zhao Kuo didn't believe that King Zhao would be so short-sighted.
Unconsciously, Zhao Kuo looked at the old man standing next to him - Mr. Pingyuan.
The generals present also set their sights on Lord Pingyuan, who had just come from Handan and was the younger brother of Lord Pingyang. No matter who he is looking at.
Mr. Pingyuan, who was burned by the hot gazes, said: I don’t know! The kind that you don’t know at all.
Even Mr. Pingyuan was full of doubts: He was fine when he came, but why did he send the king's envoy again if he didn't say he couldn't go back? Are you worried about Zhao Kuo, or are you worried about yourself?
Looking at the confused Pingyuan Jun, Zhao Kuo's doubts became more serious.
Zhao Kuo knew the situation in the court well before he went on the expedition. The two groups were roughly divided. The two groups led by Lin Xiangru and Pingyang Lord Zhao Sheng could be said to be the anti-Qin faction, while Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao and Lou The troops headed by Chang were pro-Qin faction.
Because of their relationship with the Shangdang, the generals and even the King of Zhao tended to favor the anti-Qin faction. Therefore, the trend in the court has always been for the anti-Qin faction to overwhelm the pro-Qin faction.
But now, all the main forces fighting Qin are outside, leaving only Lin Xiangru, who is said to be in poor health. In other words, almost all the people surrounding King Zhao are pro-Qin faction. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to predict how King Zhao will change, and the stubborn Wang Shiyou is the leader of the pro-Qin faction. If there is no evil inside, Zhao Kuo will never believe it.
letter.
The army is about to arrive, and the vanguard has even tentatively attacked the Qin army's strength and weakness. As soon as the army arrives, it can launch an encirclement and decisive battle against the Qin army. It takes several days to deploy troops and generals, and dozens of sand table deductions, just for this moment. , Zhao Kuo did not allow himself to fall short.
Of course, Zhao Kuo asked himself that he did not have the wisdom and calmness of the old prince, nor the deep connections of the Changlin Prince's Palace, nor could he bear the crime of disobeying the king's order.
Therefore, avoiding it is the best way.
If you want to avoid it, you have to stop the envoy. Obviously, you can't do it with this group of soldiers under your command. Whether it's out of respect for the king's order or something else, they can't even stop him outside the camp gate, let alone Said it was within the military camp. After thinking about it, maybe only one person can block the coming person.
Of course, this approach is shocking enough. However, now that things have come to a point, Zhao Kuo can't care anymore. Instead of being restricted by others, attack decisively. If anything happens, let’s talk about it after the battle.
Zhao Kuo's eyes then looked at Lord Pingyuan who was aside. After all, the envoy was Lord Pingyuan's brother, and Lord Pingyuan himself was the envoy himself.
"Pingyuan Lord, the war is about to begin. It is not convenient to receive the king's envoy. How about you go to receive and appease him?" Zhao Kuo said immediately.
The generals who heard this explanation were stunned on the spot.
This is like trying to hide from the royal envoy! Can it still be done like this? That's the king's envoy! The kind that comes with the royal flag. Even Lian Po and Tian Dan on the side frowned deeply, thinking that Zhao Kuo's behavior was slightly inappropriate.
It's not their fault. In this era, the belief that the king's destiny is greater than heaven can be said to be rooted in everyone's heart. Unfortunately, Zhao Kuo is not from this era.
Of course, if they knew that the envoy who came was probably to send troops to force them, they might have other thoughts in mind.
Fortunately, Mr. Pingyuan is not an immutable person, and is much more perceptive than the generals present. He soon thought of what changes this sudden royal envoy might bring to the upcoming decisive battle, so he thought slightly. After some time, I decided to take the matter seriously.
After all, the person coming is Pingyang Jun. If it is someone else, even if he is at the first level, Pingyuan Jun will not be able to stop him. But Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao... That is Pingyuan Jun's biological brother, who has always been suppressed by Pingyuan Jun. kind of.
"Yes." Mr. Pingyuan clasped his fists slightly, accepting the matter.
