"At three o'clock in the morning, it will take some time to set up camp." After receiving the answer, Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Fan Sui and said, "Tonight at three o'clock in the morning, we will hold a banquet three hundred steps in front of the camp gate. Please notify the Prime Minister. Mr. Wu An, come to the banquet on time."
"Banquet?" Fan Sui was very confused. What was going on? The sympathy of heroes? Or have other intentions?
Fan Sui looked at Zhao Kuo doubtfully, but Zhao Kuo looked calm, as if what he just proposed was just to invite friends to his home for a dinner.
Of course, Zhao Kuo's move not only confused Qin Prime Minister Fan Sui, but also everyone present was confused by Zhao Kuo.
We are still fighting now! You attack or fight, advance or retreat, contend or fight, but you don't attack, fight, advance, retreat, fight or fight, but instead invite the other party's general to a banquet? What is this operation?
You know, this is the Warring States Period, and the allusion to the "Hongmen Banquet" has not yet appeared. No one has thought of going there, and the most likely possibility is exactly what Fan Sui's first reaction was - sympathy for each other.
But Fan Sui still had some worries in his heart. Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Kuo's gourd, to be on the safe side, it was better not to see it. What if Zhao Kuo really has any intentions? Who knows what kind of magical tricks this lord who can turn the Shangdang war into an earth-shattering game will have.
"General!" Fan Sui put his words in order and said as politely as possible: "There is a lot of trouble in the army, and we have to evacuate tomorrow. I think Lord Wu An will be busy and careless. If the general wants to have a banquet, I am willing to accompany him. After the army evacuates, I will definitely accompany Mr. Wu An and have a great time with the general."
Obviously, Fan Sui still only thought that Zhao Kuo really wanted to have a banquet, and did not guess Zhao Kuo's intention. Of course, Zhao Kuo would not reveal it because it was a military secret. Zhao Kuo believed that Bai Qi would understand his purpose.
After hearing this, Zhao Kuo looked up to the sky and laughed, thinking that Zhao Kuo was actually regarded as a good drinker. It was before the war was over that Prime Minister Qin dared to guess.
"Come here!" Zhao Kuo's face suddenly darkened again, and Fan Sui was startled by his rather sudden words, thinking that his polite refusal had angered Zhao Kuo.
"Remove your armor, general!" Zhao Kuo's voice sounded again.
"Yes!" Two soldiers behind him came in and began to remove Zhao Kuo's heavy armor.
The helmet, collar, shoulders, breastplate, shoulders, belly, waist, and other heavy parts were removed one by one, and Zhao Kuo's upper body was gradually exposed to everyone's view.
The large piece of red on the chest is particularly vivid! That was the scene where the blood soaked the bandage and Ge Yi again. Obviously, Zhao Kuo's wound burst open again.
"General!" Xu Li hurried forward to check the condition of the wound.
"General." Lian Po, Tian Dan, Ping Pingjun and others also stepped forward, concerned about Zhao Kuo's physical condition.
"Send the military doctor quickly." Xu Li whispered again from the side.
Zhao Kuo's injuries repeatedly and instantly affected the hearts of hundreds of thousands of troops. He didn't want to know why the general's wound burst open - it was not the king's order brought by this group of people, which made the general worried and angry, and then the wound burst open.
Involuntarily, everyone looked at Mr. Pingyang and their eyes became more and more wrong.
Lord Pingyang naturally noticed the evil in everyone's eyes. While feeling a little frightened in his heart, he also missed Lou Chang who was dragged out of the military law more and more.
Compared to everyone's worries, Zhao Kuo didn't care about his injuries at all. Although his face was a little pale, his voice was still full of energy. He looked at Fan Sui and said coldly: "This injury was caused by your secret arrow. , my life has been injured several times, and it has not healed yet. I will use this injury as a guide to invite Mr. Wu An to come to the banquet, how about it?"
Everyone was speechless.
Fan Sui was speechless.
What else? Can Fan Sui refuse? The sword has no eyes is something only a winner is qualified to say, but it is obvious that the current Qin State is not that winner.
I am a general who almost lost his life at your hands, but was still injured by a hidden arrow. If Zhao Kuo insists on pursuing the case, it is not too much to leave ten thousand people to fight for his life, right? Or if we use this to get a few more pieces of land, I'm afraid King Qin will have to hold his nose and admit it. Even on the negotiating table, Zhao Kuo's injury is a great bonus point.
Now they just want to treat the leader of your family to a meal and a drink. This matter is considered to be in the past, so what? Do not care?
It can be said that Zhao Kuo's approach greatly benefited Qin. But the more this happened, the less Fan Sui dared to agree. Fan Sui knows very well that the more free it is, the more expensive it is.
Fan Sui even wished that Zhao Kuo would use his injuries as an excuse to ask for the land of Taoyi from him, so that he could still bargain. Unlike now, Fan Sui didn't even know what Zhao Kuo wanted.
Passive, too passive!
"General." Fan Sui tried to organize his words and wanted to continue to evade.
However, Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said to Fan Sui: "The Prime Minister only needs to bring my words to you. I will invite Lord Wu An to the camp gate for the banquet with the arrow wound on his chest. As for whether Lord Wu An will come or not, it will naturally be decided by Wu An. You decide."
Having said this, Fan Sui certainly has no reason to refuse.
"In this case, the truth will bring the general's true words." Fan Sui immediately agreed.
Immediately, Fan Sui clasped his fists in front of everyone and saluted, and hurried out of the camp with a few of his men, obviously intending to make arrangements in the Qin army camp. As for the Zhao camp, there were both Zhao Guoshu and the doctor in front. With Lou Chang at his side, I thought there wouldn't be any accidents.
With Fan Sui's departure, Zhao Jun's camp also began to set up camp under Zhao Kuo's order.
However, compared to the excitement in the morning, Zhao Jun was obviously a little discouraged now. A good battle of annihilation was wasted. No one would be happy if it were anyone else.
In particular, Zhao Kuo, as the commander-in-chief, laid out the plan for more than a month and experienced life and death, but in the end he had this result... With Fan Sui's departure, Zhao Kuo, whose wound burst open again, also lay down again. On top of the moving carriage.
As a veteran general, Lian Po, after arranging military affairs, immediately came to Zhao Kuo and tried to comfort him.
Zhao Kuo was unmoved at all. He just watched the sun rise quietly and murmured slowly to himself: "The war is not over yet, and the outcome is still unknown."
"This?" Lian Po looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise.
"The general's order: speed up the march and be sure to arrive in front of the Qin army before You hour." Before Lian Po could react, Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and continued: "I will only tell the old general one person. Okay. Let the old general be prepared, and also ask the old general to keep it secret: If Bai Qi fails to wait until three quarters tonight, the three armies will rise up and follow my general to massacre the Qin army!"
"Ah!" Lian Po was obviously frightened by Zhao Kuo's words.
