At this point, everyone understands what it means for his lord to appear in his camp at such a time point together with the Prime Minister of Qin.
What else could it mean?
It means that when I am waiting for hundreds of thousands of troops to fight to the death in Shangdang, and finally gain the upper hand, the adults in the rear have already sold out all the fruits of their upcoming victory!
Soon, the Chinese military tent, which was originally eager to catch up with the Qin army, seemed to be frozen.
Every general is a little downcast, and even more angry! Why? ! Countless thoughts are swirling in everyone's mind: incomprehensible, unclear, and even unspeakably disgusting...
The generals suddenly understood why the general had just asked Pingyuan Lord to block the king's envoy. As long as they did not receive the king's order, it would not be considered as disobeying the king's order.
Thinking about this, everyone seemed to see a glimmer of hope, and all the generals looked at Zhao Kuo in unison.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious - General, please give the order. Even Generals Lian Po and Tian Dan on the side also turned their attention to Zhao Kuo, as if the general had given an order, the general would immediately lead his army to fight out.
Zhao Kuo also wanted to pull out his long sword again. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the troops to be sent out. Then the wind and clouds moved and the army suddenly went south.
Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, Zhao Kuo can no longer do this.
Without him, I might lose my ears.
Not to mention that Lord Pingyang and others may soon break through the obstruction of Lord Pingyuan and come to his tent. Once he gives the order, he will most likely run into his arms. What will the generals below do then? Should he continue to carry out his own general's orders, or follow the king's orders?
Zhao Kuo didn't dare to gamble!
Even if Pingyang Jun failed to intercept him and all the battalion commanders followed the orders and left, this battle still carries extremely serious risks.
Because all the soldiers have understood King Zhao's intention, Pingyang Jun and others do not even need to incite a rebellion. As long as an army of 10,000 or 20,000 is willing to obey the king's orders and stay in the fortress, the entire deployment of Zhao Kuo and Lian Po will be overturned. Disruption, once Bai Qi on the opposite side rushes towards this obvious gap, it is possible that the outcome of this battle will be changed.
You must know that although Ting Ming and the king are temporarily aggrieved, they will definitely be reused by the king after the war; and with Zhao Kuo's trip, even if the Qin army is finally defeated, it will probably be a result that is more excessive than merit, and even This will make King Zhao feel jealous, and it is not impossible that he will eventually be transferred from the army and die in depression.
Although the generals below are now filled with righteous indignation and want to take advantage of the opportunity of the king's order to send troops to fight against the Qin army, once they return to their respective camps and calm down, will their mentality change and decide? No one knows whether there will be deviations!
Zhao Kuo still didn't dare to gamble.
To put it ten thousand steps back, everyone in the army obeyed Zhao Kuo's order and ignored Pingyang Jun and others who came with the king's order. They only wanted to beat the Qin army.
However, when the entire army knows the king's intentions, how big a blow will it have to morale? When fighting Qin, how much combat power will be lost as a result? Can it still suppress the Qin army? Facing the Qin Army's fatal blow, can the Zhao Army, which was deeply hit, still be able to withstand the test?
Zhao Kuo still didn't dare to gamble.
Obviously, although Zhao Kuo's prestige has been strong, it has not yet reached the level of supreme prestige left by the loyalty of two generations of the Changlin Prince. And although Zhao Kuo's soldiers are considered powerful, they are not as powerful as Changlin. The army's spirit of sacrificing one's family for the country, which has been passed down from generation to generation, does not even have the combat power of one against ten.
After more than a month of fierce fighting, he himself was seriously injured. No one wanted to annihilate the remnants of the Qin army in front of him more than Zhao Kuo;
After several days of painstaking efforts to block the Qin army's intelligence and quietly mobilize and concentrate troops, Zhao Kuo wished he could lead his army to the Qin army immediately.
However, reason told Zhao Kuo: No!
How could Zhao Kuo tell the world: In this battle, everyone in the Zhao army obeyed my order, Zhao Kuo. After this battle, no matter what the crime, I, Zhao Kuo, will bear the responsibility alone!
Why didn't Zhao Kuo not want to raise his long sword high and shouted: "Hey, follow me to kill the enemy!" Then he whipped his horse and came behind him.
Those who respond will follow suit.
Why didn't Zhao Kuo want to leave a magnificent story for future generations to see? At least his trip to the Warring States Period was not in vain.
It is a pity that under such circumstances, no matter the soldiers, generals, weather, location, or people, Zhao Kuo was not allowed to act so recklessly, and neither Zhao Kuo nor Lian Po was confident that he would win.
Zhao Kuo could not shout out the phrase "Hey, follow me and kill the enemy!" no matter what.
Sighing softly, Zhao Kuo looked around, his eyes bright and clear, but Zhao Kuo knew very well that from the moment Pingyang Jun and others entered the camp, the battle had gradually been out of his control. .
Needless to say, Qin has reached peace terms with King Zhao who is far away in Handan. The more than 100,000 Qin troops in the encirclement will not be able to annihilate them again if they want to. However, Zhao Kuo looked at the anger and unwillingness in the room and silently made up his mind: it is not that simple to escape from Zhao - you will have to shed your skin even if you don't die.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Kuo was already reorganizing his layout.
For a moment, there was a lot of anxiety in the Chinese military tent, but it was also silent. In the Zhongjun tent where the needle could be heard, everyone was waiting for Zhao Kuo's final decision!
Surrounded by heavy troops, outside the tent that was supposed to be quiet, bustling sounds and rustling footsteps could be heard at some point. Apparently Lord Pingyuan could no longer resist the aggressiveness of Lord Pingyang and others, and was moving step by step. Those who retreated towards the direction of the central military tent.
With a long breath, Zhao Kuo inserted the long knife back into his waist with a snap sound.
This small move made the owners present feel tense in their hearts, followed by a burst of relief.
Everyone understood that Zhao Kuo's move actually showed Zhao Kuo's decision to compromise. The soldiers could not help but feel a lot of regret and worthlessness, and their hearts naturally felt as if they had been severely pinched. Of course, this means that the commander-in-chief no longer has to make a choice between the king's order and the general's order, and the burden on him seems to be much lighter.
"Now that the king's envoy has arrived, why don't you go with me to greet him?" Zhao Kuo's face was still ugly, but his words were much more relaxed. Apparently, not only did he feel relieved from the shadow of being betrayed by King Zhao, After walking out, he seemed to have thought of how to deal with it.
Without waiting for anyone to react, Zhao Kuo flicked his cloak and was the first to walk out of the Chinese army tent.
The generals looked at me and I looked at you. After all, under the leadership of Lian Po and Tian Dan, they followed Zhao Kuo's footsteps and walked out of the tent one by one.
Not far away, the outlines of several figures can be vaguely seen...
