"But even so, it is so difficult to train elite soldiers of the Qin army. Although Zhao Kuo is important, it is not worth sacrificing the last elite of our army for him." Wang Lu continued, obviously Wang Lu was still unwilling to risk the safety of King Qin. Go on an adventure.
"It is said that there are 600 sharp soldiers, even if we have to add 10,000 elite soldiers, as long as we can get Zhao Kuo's head, I will not be stingy." King Qin responded grandly.
Obviously, both those who are in favor and those who are against it have already acquiesced that these 600 warriors are more than enough to deal with Zhao Kuo's troops.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Zhao Kuo's soldiers were no longer the same group of soldiers on the battlefield that day, but the best selected among the hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops. Their level of eliteness is no less than that of the elite soldiers of the Qin Army.
Of course, perhaps because of the short formation time, his team coordination is still insufficient, but does Zhao Kuo's stay not give his soldiers more time to train? Coupled with the secret weapon that Zhao Kuo ordered Zhao Wei to build day and night...
It's a pity that King Qin, Wang He and Sima Cuo, and even Fan Sui who had stayed in Zhao Jun's camp knew nothing about it. If Fan Sui knew about it, he would probably regret his early departure. It's too late to regret it.
With King Qin's strong statement, Wang Hao could only shut up knowingly. Naturally, Fan Sui would not fight against King Qin's decision. Only Sima Cuo was still frowning and thinking about something.
The King of Qin was about to ask, but he saw Sima Cuo slowly stood up, bowed to the King of Qin, and said: "My king, please put Wei Chen in jail after Wei Chen intercepts the envoy."
"In this way, the minister can secretly join the mission and personally direct the attack." Before King Qin and others had any other guesses, Sima Cuo calmly expressed his thoughts.
As soon as he said this, Sima Cuo seemed to have finally found his own peace and stood quietly in his position, as if he would not sit down if you don't agree.
The other three people present were stunned at first, then confused, and then deeply entangled. Even Prime Minister Fan Sui had such a general idea.
What is shocking is that Sima Cuo, as the only big boss in the Qin army now, actually committed suicide. You must know that this trip can be said to be a life of nine or even ten deaths!
Even if they were able to successfully reach Handan and then march to Yanyu to set up an ambush, it did not mean that the ambush would be successful. After all, the opponent was Zhao Kuo, who was good at creating miracles.
Even if the ambush is successful and Zhao Kuo is strangled, he will face crazy revenge and encirclement by Zhao Jun. Hedong County, which is the closest to Yanyu, is more than a few hundred miles away. Especially the Shangdang area has been completely controlled by the Zhao army. The people and troops in the Shangdang area treat Zhao Kuo like a god and want to cross the border. Returning from Shangdang County is unbelievably difficult.
But Sima Cuo just said this. It was obvious that he was not putting on a show, and in this small-scale discussion, Sima Cuo did not need to show off at all.
What the three of them were wondering was, is this really necessary? If you think about it carefully, I am afraid that a general is really needed to put Zhao Kuo to death. Without him, just because the target to be strangled is Zhao Kuo, just because of the word "Zhao Kuo", no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious.
So, the three of them were entangled. The six hundred elite soldiers of the Qin Army were enough to make the three of them feel distressed, and now they had to join forces with a veteran. Even if you make money from this business, your income is very limited. For a moment, King Qin even thought of giving up this opportunity.
But soon, King Qin broke away from this idea. Because King Qin knew that if he met Zhao Kuo again on the battlefield, the price Qin would have to pay would only be greater, so high that neither he nor Qin could afford it.
Once the current opportunity is lost, it may no longer be possible to strangle Zhao Kuo, because the defense around Zhao Kuo is probably the weakest now.
First of all, the army was divided into the south and the north. Because King Zhao was jealous of talents and talents, Zhao Kuo went almost alone during this trip, which was undoubtedly an opportunity sent from heaven.
You must know that even in the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo went to his post with tens of thousands of reinforcements. Although most of these tens of thousands of reinforcements were just young men who had just put down their hoes, the ants killed the elephants, so the number was there anyway. Don't say that you have six hundred rupees
If they go to attack, even if all the thousands of warriors are scattered, they may not be able to only capture Zhao Kuo.
Secondly, because the Battle of Changping was so brutal, even when Zhao Kuo took the lead, the soldiers around him were also exhausted. There should have been a team of 3,000 soldiers, but now there are only 500, which is very small. . But this number will definitely increase with Zhao Kuo's return to the military camp. If he wants to reduce his soldiers to this point, I am afraid that he will have to start another war. That loss...
Therefore, if the time, place, and people are favorable, if the Qin State does not take action, it will be "God does not take what he wants", and he will definitely "suffer the blame".
King Qin, who wanted to understand this, immediately stood up, and when he was about to agree to Sima Cuo's request, he saw Sima Cuo's full head of hair, and suddenly felt unbearable in his heart - the veteran general in front of him had already sacrificed his whole body. After giving it to Qin State, do you really want him to be buried in a foreign land at this age?
Fighting Lishi, conquering Bashu, attacking Yanying, going to Shangdang... Sima's bitter battles turned into scenes, which were constantly played in King Qin's mind.
When Sima Cuo saw this, he immediately understood that there was only a small step away from King Qin agreeing.
"My king." Sima Cuo immediately leaned forward slightly, clasped his hands into fists, and said word by word: "This God-given opportunity must not be lost. Since the king is willing to give up six hundred sharp soldiers, why should I cherish this body? If Even if you die with no regrets in exchange for Zhao Kuo's life with your own body. This ambition will not change even if you use swords and axes. Please allow me, the king, to lead some troops to strangle Zhao Kuo to comfort the soul of Lord Wu An in heaven."
After saying this, Sima Cuo clasped his hands and bowed deeply. Having said this, no matter how much King Qin couldn't bear it, he could no longer stop Sima from making the mistake.
The King of Qin sighed softly, supported Sima Cuo with both hands, stared at Sima Cuo with burning eyes, and said slowly: "I agree to your request, and personally lead our army's elite soldiers to attack and kill Zhao Kuo."
"Thank you, my king." Sima Cuo nodded and replied excitedly.
"I just have to promise you that I will come back alive." King Qin grabbed Sima Cuo's arms with both hands and solemnly ordered: "This is the king's order."
Although everyone knew that this matter was beyond their control and could not even be decided by anyone present, the King of Qin's words still moved Sima Cuo so much - that's how a scholar dies for his confidant.
After hearing this, Sima Cuo raised his head, suppressed the emotion in his heart, and slowly uttered one word: "No!"
