how? What else could be done, what else could be done?
Chaos, what could be more serious than a general being assassinated? !
Mr. Pingyuan's eyes gradually became colder. Mr. Pingyuan never thought that things would turn around like this. Sure enough, Jiang was still as fierce as ever, and Lin Shangqing's eyes were still as vicious as ever.
Looking at King Zhao in front of him, Mr. Pingyuan was not only disappointed but also disappointed. He was even so disappointed that he had no desire to argue with King Zhao anymore.
Without him, Mr. Pingyuan knows very well that you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep. Similarly, King Zhao, who had already had murderous intentions, was no longer able to pull him back.
Fortunately, Lin Shangqing reminded him that he had sent the message out of Handan City by "killing it first and telling it later". As for the rest, I can love whoever I want. Suddenly, Mr. Pingyuan felt extremely exhausted. Facing such a king, anyone else would be heartbroken.
Lord Pingyuan immediately did not argue much, but did not tell King Zhao that he had sent someone to notify Zhao Kuo, and then resigned on the grounds of physical discomfort.
King Zhao was obviously a little confused. He thought he would argue with Lord Pingyuan fiercely. Even King Zhao was ready to suppress Lord Pingyuan as the king, but he didn't want Lord Pingyuan to retreat like this. Is this agreed?
King Zhao only felt that the happiness came a little too suddenly. However, with such an opportunity, King Zhao was so excited that he did not pay attention to the abnormality in Lord Pingyuan's eyes.
So, without King Zhao's knowledge, the two countries and three parties started a race.
On the Qin side, six hundred warriors led by Sima Cuo traveled through mountains and ridges day and night, hoping to occupy favorable terrain before Zhao Kuo reached the land of Yanyu;
The retainers and Zhao Ping sent by Lord Pingyuan also galloped in the direction of Zhao Kuo, hoping to bring the news to Zhao Kuo before he fell into a tight siege.
But Zhao Kuo, who was in the center of the storm, seemed to be okay. Of course, Zhao Kuo didn't know the danger was coming, so it was normal for him not to rush. However, Zhao Kuo's traveling speed was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. Without him, it would be too slow.
Except when leaving Handan City, Zhao Kuo led the team to speed up the journey for more than ten miles. After leaving Handan City behind, Zhao Kuo's marching speed suddenly slowed down. It had even been two hours of walking and half an hour of rest, let alone a galloping horse.
The reason why Zhao Kuo did this was naturally not because he had received any news. He just wanted to arrive at Daibei at the same time as the 10,000 reinforcements from Shangdang. With the 10,000 troops in hand, Zhao Kuo could control the situation in Daidi faster and better. Of course, in addition to the army, more importantly, there are the two generals Sun Gu and Zhou Qi who came with the army.
Zhao Kuo never wanted to feel the embarrassment of having no one at hand anymore.
There was no words for a night, and time passed quickly amidst the Qin army's horse hooves and Zhao Kuo's snoring.
Finally it was daybreak. The Qin army, which had been running all night, was still galloping. When he was hungry, he chewed two bags of millet. When he was thirsty, he took a sip of strong wine. When he was sleepy, he took turns lying on the horse's back to take a nap. In short Just one sentence: non-stop and rush to Yanyucheng at all costs.
The tenacity of the soldiers of the Qin army was most vividly demonstrated at this time. If ordinary soldiers had gone through such a long journey, they would have complained a lot, but this Qin army was terrifyingly quiet. Except for the rapid breathing of the war horses and the regular sound of hoofbeats, There was almost no other sound to be heard.
Everyone was holding their breath, saving every ounce of energy as much as possible to reserve energy for the fierce battle that was about to begin, even if it was just a little bit of energy.
Silence is always the most threatening way of expression.
The six hundred warriors of the Qin army, like a silent warship, rushed straight towards the cemetery of their own choice-Lanyucheng.
Although Zhao Ping and Ping Pingjun's family generals were also very anxious, they were still a little less crazy than the Qin army. At least they could rest in the forest for a while when they were tired. There is no way, no matter how anxious they are, they are not as tough as the Qin Army's elite soldiers, and they still cannot break through their physical limits.
And the most comfortable ones belong to Zhao Kuo and his party. Don't talk about traveling all night, the sun
After hanging up, Zhao Kuo happily ate the morning meal and ordered the whole camp to set off. He would rather the army wait for him, a general, than let him, a general, wait for the arrival of reinforcements. This is the appearance of a general, and it is also the principle of being a general!
Finally, after hurrying and slowing down, the Qin army finally arrived at the designated position at dusk on the third day. In other words: Under the leadership of Sima Cuo, the Qin army completed the journey that should have taken three full days in only two and a half days, saving more than three hours.
Don't underestimate this mere three hours. If everything goes according to Sima Cuo's expectations, these three hours will be too precious. Three hours is enough for Qin Jun to have a good meal and sleep happily. After three hours of rest, his tired body will not only return to its best condition, but will at least recover 70% to 80% of its combat power. No problem at all.
I would rather have a little more hardship ahead, but also save enough time at the end. This is what Sima Cuo thought.
Seeing that his six hundred warriors had arrived at the designated location ahead of schedule, Sima Cuo in the dense forest felt happy and immediately ordered to eat and rest.
Of course, it is impossible to light a fire. It is extremely delicious to eat some dried meat in the remaining light of dusk. Many Qin soldiers even took out dried meat and put it to their mouths after receiving orders to eat and rest, and then their bodies fell into a deep sleep.
I can't help it, I'm too tired. Being able to persist until now is entirely due to extraordinary willpower.
Seeing the warriors who were about to fall around him one by one, Sima Cuo felt heartbroken. Even Sima Cuo himself was already in dire straits, but Sima Cuo knew that it was not time for him to rest yet. A few Tanma, who were in relatively good health and had been given extra rest along the way, soon appeared in front of Sima Cuo.
After arranging them to form a fan-shaped formation to search for Zhao Kuo's position, and setting up clear and dark sentries near the camp, Sima Cuo was able to take a short rest.
By the time Tan Ma returned, another two hours had passed. Many Qin soldiers had fallen asleep, and even Sima Cuo took a short nap. Sima Cuo, who was still a little sleepy at first, woke up immediately when he heard the news brought back by Tan Ma.
It's just that the news was so exciting that it almost frightened Sima Cuo to death - there was no trace of Zhao Kuo and his party within thirty miles of exploring the horse to the south!
