As for the personal soldiers, five hundred soldiers were selected who were not weaker than the elite soldiers of the Qin army. In Lian Po's words, just these five hundred elite soldiers of the Zhao army were not afraid of ten thousand enemies.
Similarly, candidates for the three thousand cavalry were also selected one by one. Although they were not as powerful and tall as the five hundred people, they were obviously still elite. As for their destination, Zhao Kuo had already planned it.
The selection of the front line in Shangdang County was completed, and the reception in Hanoi County was also coming to an end. The Qin people rarely made any trouble, not because they didn't want to make trouble, but because they didn't have time to make trouble.
In short, everything seems to be developing in the direction Zhao Kuo expected.
Unfortunately, history will always give you a head-on blow when you are happiest and most proud.
King Zhao's envoy was about to visit the party again, but what no one expected was that what the envoy brought was not a commendation order for the troops, but a prison cart and a chain!
"Zhao Kuo is proud of his merits, disobeys the king's orders, and respects his own troops. Zhao Kuo is relieved of all military posts and escorted back to Handan by Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, where he will be punished." The high-pitched and mean voice of the eunuch in the palace lingered. Above everyone's heads.
As soon as he finished speaking, several palace guards were about to put chains on Zhao Kuo's head. Obviously they were born in the palace and only obeyed the king's orders. They didn't have much respect for Zhao Kuo, the general who turned the tide. Affection.
But just because they didn’t, doesn’t mean that others didn’t.
"How dare you!" The five hundred elite soldiers who had just joined Zhao Kuo's personal army immediately went crazy, and the leading ones even drew their knives!
Not only Zhao Kuo's soldiers, but also the generals of the Zhao army on the side reacted in shock when they saw this, and even blocked Zhao Kuo with their bodies.
Even the mature and prudent Lian Po had a look of disbelief and sullenness on his face. Fire was already spitting out of his two tiger eyes. He immediately kicked the palace guards holding chains to the ground one by one.
The guards of the palace may not be afraid of others, but they still dare not offend Lian Po, who has dominated the Zhao family for decades. Not to mention just being kicked a few times, even if a knife was held to their necks, they didn't dare to resist. And looking at the reactions of the people around them, Lian Po's kicks even saved them.
The guards quickly realized that this was a fight between gods and they had better not get involved. But with the king's orders behind him, and Lian Po and the generals blocking the way in front, all the guards could only stand on the spot holding chains angrily, unable to advance, and unable to retreat. He could only look at the eunuch who read out the king's order.
It seems to be asking: How to deal with it?
Following the gazes of the guards, everyone also turned their angry gazes to the eunuch who read out the king's order.
The emissary was living in the palace and had no other skills. He was a first-class expert in observing people's words. Seeing that everyone's anger was unstoppable, he immediately stuffed the hot potato - the silk book of the king's orders - back. In the hands of the Lord of Pingyuan on earth. Well, the king ordered Pingyuan Jun to be escorted back to Handan, and it was most appropriate that the king ordered Pingyuan Jun to be escorted back to Handan.
With a sound of "swipe", everyone looked at Mr. Pingyuan.
Mr. Pingyuan, who was still in shock, suddenly felt his hand sink. Immediately afterwards, the cold eyes from all around came. Even Mr. Pingyuan, who was used to seeing big scenes, could not help but feel chills running down his back.
What kind of silk book is this? It is clearly a life-threatening talisman!
You know, who are the people around you now? Those are the ruthless people who killed Qin’s hundreds of thousands of troops! Killing someone is like chopping melons and vegetables. Didn't you hear the sound of the sharp blade being unsheathed?
"No! My king will never have such a chaotic life!" Lord Pingyuan suddenly unfolded the silk book of the king's orders with trembling hands. Unfortunately, on the silk book, there were words like iron paintings and silver hooks, which made Lord Pingyuan speechless.
Even though Mr. Pingyuan was like this, the surrounding Zhao army generals were filled with indignation one by one.
"The general turned the tide and saved our country. He is a hero. If we don't give him a double reward, how can he be dismissed and escorted back to the capital?"
"It must be Zhao Bao and Lou Chang who are slandering me again, which is why the king has such chaos!"
"Hey, your Majesty, how unwise you are! Doing this will make your relatives happy and your enemies happy.
. "
"This dear little man is a worthy minister from far away."
"We fought against the Qin army for three years with just a handful of troops. We fought bloody battles for months and months. The general was seriously injured, but we suffered this fate for no reason. I had known it would be like this..."
What should be said and what should not be said, all the generals blurted out in anger.
On the other hand, Zhao Kuo, the figure who should have been at the center of the storm, who should have been furious, was unusually calm at this time. There was even a little excitement in my heart.
Zhao Kuo had long thought that King Zhao would punish him, but he did not expect that King Zhao would be so unwise. At least wait until you return to Handan! At least wait until everyone gradually forgets the cruelty of the Changping Battle, and then deal with it slowly!
Zhao Kuo really didn't expect that King Zhao couldn't even wait for this time and actually ordered him to be detained while he was still in the military camp. Isn't this a merciless slap in the face of all the Zhao army officers and soldiers? Before Shangdang's blood was dry, he was about to capture the general of the army. Are you really afraid that you will directly rebel with these hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops? !
Zhao Kuo was a little speechless. Of course, Zhao Kuo would not rebel at this time. Even if he rebelled at this time, it would be considered justified. But Zhao Kuo knew that if he rebelled against the imperial court at this time, he might succeed, but it would cause a lot of trouble in Zhao's country. At this time, it was not the best time Zhao Kuo had expected.
But even so, King Zhao's move undoubtedly helped Zhao Kuo a lot. At least from this moment on, all the Zhao army officers and soldiers were deeply aware of the ruthlessness of the Zhao court.
Obviously, Zhao Kuo will not let go of this excellent opportunity to improve his image.
"If I had known this, what would I have done?" Zhao Kuo, who was kneeling on one knee, slowly stood up and looked coldly at the general of the Zhao army who had just "uttered arrogant words".
"Mo, finally general." The general immediately fell to the ground.
"Why are you fighting?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask.
Without waiting for the general to reply, Zhao Kuo replied on his behalf: "You are fighting for your family, fighting for the State of Zhao, and fighting for the millions of people of the State of Zhao! You are not fighting for the court, let alone I will fight this general, do you understand?"
Immediately, Zhao Kuofu looked at the other generals and said slowly: "Fighting for the country, even though I died nine times, I still have no regrets."
"General!" The surrounding Zhao army generals all fell to the ground.
Ignoring the generals, Zhao Kuo immediately looked at Lord Pingyuan and said slowly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness. Lord Pingyuan, please carry out the king's orders."
As he spoke, Zhao Kuo raised his hands as if wearing shackles.
"General!" the soldiers choked again.
