Ten fingers connected to the heart, perhaps, only such heart-wrenching pain can keep Zhao Bao calm, and only this heart-wrenching pain can make Zhao Bao remember today's humiliation.
It has to be said that Zhao Kuo ignored a lord figure like this, especially when this lord was the uncle of the current King of Zhao. It was quite rude and disrespectful to Pingyang Lord. In this situation, he could " In the era of "two peaches kill three men", such disregard is simply a shame.
Unknowingly, Zhao Kuo seemed to have offended another person who he could not have offended.
However, even if Zhao Kuo knew that this move would severely offend Lord Pingyang, he would not care at all. Because Pingyang Jun's actions have already stood against Zhao Kuo, it is obviously too late to correct the chaos now.
Zhao Kuo doesn't mind at all providing assistance like Lord Pingyang to his opponents. Even if he is from a noble family, even if he holds a high position, such a short-sighted person will only do bad things and not achieve anything. What happened next fully confirmed Zhao Kuo's thoughts.
It’s just a pain for Mr. Pingyuan. On one side is Zhao Kuo, the pillar of the country, and on the other side is his stupid brother. He had obviously advised his stupid brother not to show up today. Even if it was to be repaired, there should be a buffer time. Appearing so suddenly would only embarrass both parties. But this stupid brother just doesn’t listen!
It's okay now. Zhao Kuo wasn't embarrassed there, but he was extremely embarrassed here. If they become enemies because of this, Mr. Pingyuan sighed deeply in his heart. What is his brother like, and what kind of devilish methods does Zhao Kuo on the opposite side have? There is no chance of winning at all!
The small episode in front of the city gate passed quickly, and Zhao Kuo and his soldiers quickly gathered together. A team of less than 500 people headed north in a mighty manner.
King Zhao, who was hiding in the shadows above the city tower, felt a little relieved when he saw that Zhao Kuo only exchanged a few words with Lin Shangqing and Pingyuan Jun before heading north.
Looking at the stretched figures of Zhao Kuo and his party under the morning sun, the unprecedented King Zhao felt a little unbearable, but was quickly suppressed by the king's heart.
Zhao Kuo and others were not very fast, but after turning a few corners, they disappeared from everyone's sight. The civil and military officials who saw them off outside the city gate, together with the people of Handan who were on their way, returned home one after another.
But no one noticed that at the moment Zhao Kuo and others disappeared at the city gate, several homing pigeons rose into the sky and flew in all directions in the shadows of Handan City. Almost at the same time, fast horses galloped out from the east, west and south of the city.
Obviously, spies from various countries in Handan City are on the move.
Of course, everyone in the Zhao Kingdom never thought of hiding Zhao Kuo's itinerary. Even from the perspective of King Zhao, he wished he could tell the other six countries immediately that Zhao Kuo had left, so as to stop their poaching. idea.
But no one knows what kind of danger today's indulgence will cause to their general.
It only took half a day for the fast horse to head out to the west of the city to find its destination - the Qin envoy. The news that Zhao Kuo had gone north quickly reached the ears of Sima Cuo, who was dressed as a soldier, through the envoy's mouth.
Things suddenly went bad.
"It's too late!" Sima Cuo's heart suddenly thumped.
The envoys around him also looked anxious. Obviously, as an envoy to Zhao Kuo, he also understood the true purpose of his trip. However, due to his identity, he had no idea where to ambush Zhao Kuo or what the purpose of the ambush was. clear.
But obviously, just by looking at Sima Cuo's face, he knew that it seemed, as if, he should have waited for someone to arrive a little late.
Even though the envoy is not considered a person who knows the military, he also knows about ambush and ambush. He must first ambush before killing. But now he is still running towards Handan, but the target there has already gone to Daibei. It may not be that easy to catch up.
However, it was obvious that Sima Cuo had no intention of giving up. Without any hesitation, he took out the map he had kept beside him and ordered the envoy to stop advancing.
There is still about one day left before Handan City. According to the original plan, after nightfall today, he should lead his army to leave the mission and head northwest to invade the city. The mission is the successor
Continue to advance to Handan, and continue to monitor Zhao Kuo's actions after entering Handan City.
I just didn't expect that Zhao Kuo would act so quickly and caught himself off guard.
Of course, what Sima Cuo didn't know was that the reason why Zhao Kuo acted so quickly was because of his arrival. If King Qin hadn't made such a big move, King Zhao would not have urged Zhao Kuo to go on his trip, secretly or overtly.
But this was a blessing in disguise. If King Zhao hadn't urged him to rush, Zhao Kuo would have waited for the party's reinforcements to detour to Handan and head to Daibei together, instead of the current two places facing each other towards Daibei. go.
If Zhao Kuo really waited for Shangdang's 10,000 elite soldiers, let alone Sima Cuo's mere 600 elite soldiers, even if it was doubled, it would not be able to break Zhao Kuo's defense.
All I can say is that everything seems to have its own destiny.
Sima Cuo was caught off guard, but at least he still had hope of victory. Although Zhao Kuo's life was in danger, he could still escape as long as he was careful enough or moved fast enough.
Everything is determined, but everything is possible.
Sitting on the ground and spreading out the map, Sima Cuo carefully looked at it over and over again. His palm became his ruler, and he took the trouble to measure back and forth on the map.
Finally, Sima Cuo raised his head and looked at the sun that was still shining brightly. He clenched his hand into a fist and hit the map hard.
"There is no other way, this is the only way!" Sima Cuo muttered bitterly in his heart.
"Herald the order: The warriors come out and gather all the horses." Sima Cuo looked coldly at the envoy and the order soldiers standing aside.
Obviously, Sima Cuo planned to immediately lead his warriors to change the route and go straight into the land of Huanyu. According to his calculations, although he had to set off after Zhao Kuo and the distance was slightly farther, as long as they could march day and night, they could still reach Yanyu about three hours ahead of Zhao Kuo and others. After all, Zhao Kuo's army would not be marching day and night.
The envoy who heard this obviously understood what Sima Cuo meant, but he looked at Sima Cuo with his mouth wide open, and then looked at the still hot sun above his head with a puzzled expression, and then asked: "Now?"
How could Sima Cuo not know the danger of dividing his troops now? Under the scorching sun, someone in any corner might see his actions of dividing his troops. Once someone notices it, he and his group of hundreds of warriors may not even be able to save a whole body. Down.
However, there is no other way. Being passive, he must complete it with the determination to die.
