"Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness." Lord Pingyuan chewed these words repeatedly while the soldiers were already crying.
Even Lian Po, who had always been loyal to Zhao, had red eyes and murmured: "Where is Qing Lin? Why did you allow such a heartbreaking king's order to spread out of Handan?"
The eunuch on the side answered in a low voice: "Since your Majesty came to the palace to see my king a few days ago, it is said that he fell into a coma when he returned to the mansion."
Although the eunuch's words were soft, everyone present could hear them clearly.
A feeling of "Huang Zhong destroyed the earthenware cauldron with thunder" suddenly hit my heart, followed by a feeling of powerlessness and disappointment. Da Zhao was really going to be destroyed...
No one dared to think about it any further. In the end, all their thoughts and resentments turned into a long sigh.
Mr. Pingyuan was stunned on the spot, but he didn't know what to do?
Really escort Zhao Kuo, a minister of great merit, back to Handan? I am afraid that I will be drowned in the saliva of the people all over the country, and even the political resources of Lin Shangqing I just obtained will come back immediately. What's more, Zhao Kuo is still the son of an old friend, and he even went to the Changping battlefield to persuade him. Not to mention that the battle was won now, even if he lost, he could only protect Zhao Kuo.
But you don't follow the king's orders...
Of course Pingyuan Jun knew that this matter was closely related to Lou Chang, and even his brother Pingyang Jun was not unrelated. At least it was a sin of indifference. But what can I do if I know? The deal is already done, even if he wants to fight back, he has to return to Handan first. At that point, Sergeant Zhao's heart was completely cold!
Lord Pingyuan really felt a little regretful: Why didn't he follow Lord Pingyang, Lou Chang and others back to Handan to block this royal order that should not have existed in the first place.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world.
"Mr. Pingyuan." The eunuch on the side froze when he saw the generals chattering in confusion. His eyes drifted to Zhao Kuo, and then vaguely to everyone present. Then he said slowly: "The king has an order. , order us to set off immediately after announcing the king’s order. What do you think?”
Lord Pingyuan, who was in a very low mood, heard the eunuch's remarks again, and his heart was filled with anger. What? It's a chain, and it's about to go. Are you afraid that Ma Fujun will escape?
Lord Pingyuan here was just thinking about it in his heart, but the general of the Zhao army over there vented his anger directly.
As soon as these words came out, the anger of the army increased by three points. The generals' eyes immediately turned to Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo knew very well that as long as he gave an order, the slogan "Princes and generals should be content with each other" would come out hundreds of years in advance.
But Zhao Kuo still made no move. Instead, he quietly said to Lord Pingyuan, who was overwhelmed by anger: "Lord Pingyuan, your battlefield is not here, just follow the king's orders."
"That's right! My battlefield is not here!" Lord Pingyuan thought with sudden realization: "Now that Lin Xiangru has fainted and retreated, Zhao Yu has taken orders, and he is the only one left in the anti-Qin faction in the middle of the court. Although because of the emptiness of the center, his relatives The Qin faction found an opportunity for a while, but as long as they return to Handan, they may not be able to reverse the situation."
Lord Pingyuan, who regained his confidence, immediately put his hands on Zhao Kuo's arms and nodded sternly.
The palace guards on the side thought it was their turn, and they were about to put the jingling chains on Zhao Kuo's head.
"Get out!" Two roars were heard, which scared the palace guards away.
One of the sources of the roar was naturally Old General Lian Po Lian, while the other person was Lord Pingyuan. The two people who heard each other's roar nodded to each other as a greeting.
Mr. Pingyuan immediately showed his demeanor above the court and completely took over the scene: "Whether the general is chained or not, it is not your turn to act arrogantly. Anyone who acts rashly again will be killed!"
"Yes." Several palace guards hurriedly clasped their fists, bowed their heads, and stepped aside.
There is no reason why the palace guards will not retreat. Lord Pingyuan is not just an important minister in the court, but also the uncle of the current king. Others cannot control the guards of the palace, but Lord Pingyuan can. What's more, Lord Pingyuan is the one who is escorting this time. The supreme commander of the mission. If you say behead, then behead really.
Here, the guards of the palace were ordered to retreat. Over there, Lord Pingyuan clasped his hands in fists and bowed to the generals present one by one.
After bowing in a circle, Mr. Pingyuan slowly stood up and said:
"Therefore, General Zhao She, Lord of Mafu, is my friend. The General came here to fight against Shangdang. It was also highly recommended by me. In the battle against Shangdang, he could turn the tide before it fell. He could help the building to collapse and seize the party." , Occupy Hanoi, force Bai Qi, which greatly increases the power of our Zhao army, I will also be honored to enjoy its prosperity." Mr. Pingyuan said quite proudly.
"I don't want our hero to be imprisoned today. This is definitely not the rule of our Zhao Kingdom. As an important official in the court, I can't just sit idly by in public or private matters!" Lord Pingyuan looked at the generals with firm eyes and solemnly promised. He said: "Generals, don't worry. When we go to Handan, we will protect the general even if we risk my life."
After saying that, Lord Pingyuan bowed deeply again, and the generals finally stopped whispering. Obviously, Lord Pingyuan's plain and simple promise still touched the hearts of the generals, and even expressed their respect for the court again. A glimmer of hope was ignited.
Zhao Kuo did not stop this. He knew very well that the more hopeful he was at this time, the easier it would be to turn into deep despair when disappointed in the future.
"Everything, get rid of Lord Pingyuan." Old General Lian Po was the first to react and returned the greeting to Lord Pingyuan.
"Please, Mr. Pingyuan." All the soldiers followed General Lian Po and bowed deeply to Mr. Pingyuan.
With this bow, Mr. Pingyuan will also receive the full support of Zhao's army, even more full support than Lin Xiangru. Of course, at the same time, Mr. Pingyuan will be completely tied to Zhao's army. On top of the chariot.
Zhao Kuo quietly watched the freeze-frame of this scene. It was obvious that the person who benefited the most was not Zhao Fang, nor Pingyuan Lord, nor King Zhao who seemed to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but Zhao Kuo, who was about to become a bird in prison.
With almost no effort, Zhao Kuo received a strong support from the political arena! It even aroused the anger of all the generals. Zhao Kuo knew very well: as long as there is another fire, Zhao Guo can be completely burned.
As for this fire, Zhao Kuo believes that King Zhao will not let him wait too long...
Zhao Kuo was dressed in white and sat calmly in the prison car with hollows on all sides. Although he was not shackles, he was "protected" by palace guards in front and behind.
On the side of the prison car, Lord Pingyuan accompanied Zhao Kuo on a rare horse.
After the prison car, five hundred soldiers who had just been selected as the vanguard guarded the rear.
Under the setting sun, the shadows of the group were stretched long, and behind the long shadows, tens of thousands of Zhao army soldiers knelt down to see them off in the Shangdang military camp.
"General!"
"General!"
Shouts echoed through the sky...
