"Get up." Zhao Kuo held the long knife at his waist with his right hand and raised his left hand to his chest, as if he wanted to lift up the thousands of people in front of him.
With a "swipe" sound, thousands of Zhao Jun's elite soldiers stood up in unison, neatly and without any sloppiness.
Even Zhao Kuo, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes on the Changping battlefield, couldn't help but sigh. If the 400,000-strong army in the Changping battle were all such elite troops, why would he bother to think about this and that, and just lead the troops to defeat them? Just push it over.
Of course, Zhao Kuo knew very well that this was almost impossible. Roughly speaking, the entire Zhao army had an army of 400,000. Among the tens of thousands of troops in this generation, the team in front of him might be comparable to the phoenix feathers.
Needless to say, such an elite army is indispensable for Li Mu's training and the training of the past three years.
Taking a long breath, Zhao Kuo began his first speech on the Northern Tour.
"Two or three sons!" Zhao Kuo was so angry that he sent his voice to this northern land for the first time.
"Here!" The thousands of Zhao soldiers below were also very considerate and immediately gave Zhao Kuo the strongest feedback.
"This general is Zhao Kuo, who just returned from the Changping battlefield. General Zhao, Zhao Kuo." Zhao Kuo held his head high and took another step forward, trying to let more soldiers see his face clearly. .
Of course, this is a joke. It is false to let the soldiers see clearly, but it is true to give the soldiers below more sense of oppression.
Without him, because he is a general and must appear in front of the soldiers with a tall and majestic image, and the taller and more majestic he is in his next words, the more credible his words will be.
"Praise" twice, that is the highest courtesy that the goblin soldiers below can give - kneel down on one knee and pay homage to the Lord.
"I've seen the general!" Thousands of Daibei's elite soldiers once again shouted in unison.
"Get up!" Zhao Kuo said with one hand on each other.
With a "swipe" sound, thousands of fine soldiers almost stood up together.
After a formal meeting, Zhao Kuo immediately got down to business: "I came here only for two things."
After the words fell, the silence in the place was almost audible. Everyone seemed to understand the purpose of General Zhao Kuo's visit, but they were all waiting for Zhao Kuo's next words.
"First." Zhao Kuo glanced around, not keeping the soldiers waiting for a long time, and then slowly said: "General, on behalf of Dang Changping's army, on behalf of Zhao's court, and on behalf of all the people in the north, thank you two or three sons! In the past three years, I have suffered a lot!"
As he spoke, Zhao Kuo clasped his hands and bowed to all the soldiers.
Under the high platform, all the soldiers were confused for a moment!
what happened? Why is it so good that the general worships me?
After a moment of confusion, there was joy from the bottom of my heart. My colleagues in the Shangdang had not forgotten me. Neither the court of Zhao nor the people of Zhao had forgotten me!
Someone finally understands my depression and frustration in the past three years - the Hu people are obviously far inferior to me in combat power, but because their troops have been deployed in large numbers, they are forced to switch from offense to defense. However, in this defense, the Hu people are even more vulnerable. So arrogant, if it had been changed three years ago...
For a time, the hands of the soldiers held their weapons tighter and tighter.
Obviously, Zhao Kuo's purpose of praising him had achieved initial results, but Zhao Kuo's words of praise did not mean to stop there.
"In the Battle of Changping, too many troops from Dai were deployed. If it hadn't been for the persistence of the two or three sons, the North might have been overrun by the Hu people. If so, not only would our people in Dai be devastated, but even my subjects in Handan would have been destroyed. There will be no protection. With the whole country in shock, how can the Changping front line survive alone? Defeat is just a matter of time.
Therefore, the second and third sons are the greatest contributors to my victory in Changping! Your perseverance has contributed greatly to the safety of the people, the tranquility of the court, and the victory of Changping! ”Zhao Kuo loudly announced the achievements of the generals. .z.br>
Under this compliment, almost every soldier's face turned red.
I have to say that the ancients were still easy to deceive.
Zhao Kuo's words were of course exaggerated. Not to mention other things, the Battle of Changping, no matter how good this achievement is
Daibei's army wouldn't have its turn, otherwise what would Changping's hundreds of thousands of fighting souls mean? Not to mention the Zhao State's court, how could they care about this barbaric land, let alone say thank you to Daibei's army.
However, as Zhao Kuo was the general of Zhao State, what he said represented the wishes of Zhao State's court! Who can say otherwise? Who dares to say otherwise?
Even Generals Chen and Wu Bi who came with them were a little carried away after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, not to mention the soldiers below. They all wanted to rush to the grassland immediately and kill ten more of him. Eight barbarians can be considered worthy of the general's praise.
Only Li Mu frowned slightly. Without him, if you are polite to others, you must ask for something. The general boasted so much about the use of the army on behalf of the land, and I'm afraid he had a big plan.
It has to be said that Li Mu is indeed one of the few people who can understand Zhao Kuo's thoughts.
But what if you understand it? Not to mention that Li Mu was the person Zhao Kuo tried hard to win over, and he had already been included in Zhao Kuo's circle. Even if political enemies such as Lou Chang and Pingyang Jun were here, could they still stop Zhao Kuo from boasting?
Even if Zhao Kuo agrees, thousands of generations of troops below will not agree!
Of course, it's just a show off, but it's a bit weak after all, and the effect is nothing more than temporary excitement.
Immediately, Zhao Kuo brought up the third dish.
"Here, bring it up!" Zhao Kuo waved his hand, and the soldiers who had been prepared before the stage immediately lifted dozens of heavy boxes to the high platform.
"Open!" Zhao Kuo ordered again.
Only dozens of "click, click" sounds were heard as all the boxes were opened simultaneously. Several large boxes near the edge of the high platform were directly lowered to the ground by the soldiers.
"Crash!" Countless gold and silver silk cloths instantly slipped out of each box, and then fell from the high platform to the ground. Under the sun, it is really dazzling.
The soldiers below had never seen so many gold and silk objects. They all opened their eyes wide immediately, and their hearts were even more shocked.
As long as you are not a stupid person, how can you not know that these gold and silk must be rewarded to yourself! Otherwise, the general would not have been able to lift him to the high platform. Those who are quick-minded are even calculating how much gold and silk they can get. How many new clothes can they buy for their children at home?
Sure enough, General Zhao Kuo Zhao did not disappoint everyone.
"Since I came here to express my gratitude to the officers and men, how can I not receive a reward?" Zhao Kuo then loudly announced to the officers and men: "A little money and silk are not enough to repay the merits of the two or three sons. In case, let's do something." As you wish, General Li Mu and Li will distribute the merits of each position to you later. Anyone who has merit in killing Hu will have at least one foot of cloth."
Zhao Kuo's words immediately stirred up a thousand waves. Even a strong army could not help but feel a little commotion. As the saying goes, soldiers still have to make ends meet, so suddenly being so rich and powerful made all the soldiers bewildered.
Li Mu behind him was also shocked when he heard this. Not only Li Mu, but also General Chen and General Wu Bi, the people in charge of Daidi, were even more surprised than Li Mu. It's very simple. There is no such thing as rewarding the army in the king's mandate!
"General, what is this?" General Chen asked in surprise. Could it be that the general has other royal orders?
"This is the general's property." Sun Gu, the leader of the soldiers on the side, explained promptly.
The shock in the hearts of the generals who heard this did not subside, but instead turned into uneasiness. Since ancient times, laboring the army has been ordered by the king. At this time, the general labored the army on behalf of the king...
Several people no longer dared to think about it any further.
"The reward for the Shangdang battle was also given by the general in the form of unowned acres in Hanoi County, but my king did not say anything else. General, don't worry! If the king is waiting for you, I am afraid that the reward from Shangdang will be given to you at this time. There’s no sign of them yet.” Zhou Qi seemed to be able to hear the thoughts of several people and immediately added.
When the two heard this, their hearts jumped again! The two of them obviously believed what Zhou Qi said, but the more they believed it, the more horrified they became!
I was surprised that in the Battle of Shangdang, the court could not reward such a huge victory?
The second was shocked that Shangdang's army actually accepted Zhao Kuo's reward.
And looking at Zhou Qi's expression, it seemed that the gift from the general was truly valuable.
Involuntarily, the two of them thought of a terrible possibility.
But soon, the two calmed down again. Without him, the two of them were natives of Daidi, and had already become marginal figures in the whirlpool of the Zhao Kingdom. Otherwise, they would not have been allowed to station in Daidi for so many years, and they would not even be able to fight such an important battle as the Battle of Changping. to both of them.
In addition, the two of them are old. As long as they can protect the land for the people, it really doesn't matter who is in charge.
What's more, even Lian Po was optimistic about it and Zhou Qi was a general who was directly loyal to him. How could they be willing to go to the opposite side of Pao Ze in the past.
Soon the two looked at each other and already had the answer.
They both clasped their fists and thanked Zhao Kuo for the gift.
Then Zhao Kuo's eyes fell on Li Mu beside him.
However, Li Mu's idea is obviously simpler. Zhao Kuo was a general he admired, and Zhao Kuo's recognition of him several times made him feel like a close friend. This was a level of importance he had never felt in his long military career. As for party disputes, they have nothing to do with me as a captain.
Therefore, Li Mu, who had simple ideas, acted even more decisively.
He walked straight to the side of the high platform, cupped his fists with both hands, knelt down on one knee and said to Zhao Kuo, "Thank you, General, for your generous gift!"
In one sentence, even the king was hidden. It saved Zhao Kuo a lot of trouble.
Under the high platform, thousands of soldiers immediately followed their General Li Mu, knelt down on one knee, and said in unison: "Thank you, General, for your generous gift!"
Zhao Kuo laughed immediately when he saw this. He knew that most of the purpose of this trip had been accomplished. Then he lifted up Li Mu with both hands, and then helped up all the soldiers on the field.
