"What? Zhao..." Pingyang Jun glared at the two people in front of him, his eyes almost popped out, and he was almost about to
The name "Zhao Kuo" blurted out, but fortunately, he held his voice back at the last moment. This is really no wonder Lord Pingyang.
Starting from Handan, we rushed to Daidi with great interest. First, we were put in a standby by the city gatekeeper in Yanyucheng. I was already a little annoyed. It was so easy to use it.
He persuaded himself with the excuse of "state affairs are of paramount importance"; he rushed to Dai City day and night, and was told that General Zhao Kuo had led his troops to Sangqian City.
Okay, I will continue chasing and finally reach Sangqian City. You told me that the general has left?
If it were you, would you be able to bear it? Isn’t this a monkey trick? Lord Pingyang has every reason to believe that the officials of this generation are covering up Zhao Kuo, and they just don’t want Zhao Kuo to accept the king’s order!
With a slight cough, Lord Pingyang tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and continued to ask the two people in front of him: "General, are you not in Sangqian City again?"
"Of course." Chen Xun, the commander-in-chief of Daidi's army, replied with some embarrassment: "The general has left Sangqian City for several days!"
"Where did the general go?" Pingyang Jun continued to ask.
"This?" Chen Xun looked at Pingyang Jun with some embarrassment, and then turned to look at General Sun Gu, who had been standing silently and calmly.
Chen Xun understood very well that although he was the highest commander in Sangqian City on the surface, in fact, his power was in the hands of the young man next to him, ranging from soldiers, horses, money and food, to the dispatch of people. It is controlled by Sun Gu.
There's nothing I can do about it, he's a direct descendant of the general! This Sanggan City can be said to be the logistics base of the general who expeditions to the grassland. The general will not allow the base behind him to be in the hands of others, even if he was the commander-in-chief of the Daidi Army.
Of course, the general still gave him a high degree of respect. At least on the surface, Sangqian City still respected him.
Since the general has given him enough face, he should also know what is good and what is bad. He could naturally handle the obvious things like welcoming the king's envoy and reporting the general's absence in Sangqian City, but he could never reveal the secrets related to the army's transition to war.
Even if the person opposite is a royal envoy from Handan. It’s not just the so-called
The reason for "knowing the appearance" is also due to the consideration of the safety of the army. The war ahead is unclear, and he has no way of knowing whether a general attack on the Hu people has been launched. If the general's behavior is exposed at this time, once it becomes known to the Hu people, it will be a huge blow to the general, tens of thousands of generations of local people, and even the generals. For the entire Dai County, it will be a disaster.
Although the person who came was the so-called king's envoy, and also bore the title of Lord Pingyang and the king's uncle, as a person who represented the land and a general of the army, Chen Xun could still tell which was more important.
Of course, there is no need to directly offend Lord Pingyang, so looking at Sun Gu next to him, it is obviously Chen Xun's best choice to hand over the initiative and protect himself wisely.
When Sun Gu saw this, he stood up without hesitation. After all, as the spokesperson of General Zhao Kuo in Sangqian City, he still had some courage, but when he said the words, he didn't show much respect.
"Jun Pingyang: The general is leading the army out. This is a confidential matter. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you." Sun Gu clasped his hands in his fists and expressed his strong rejection in the gentlest words.
It's normal. Sun Gu has been following Zhao Kuo since the Battle of Changping. Sun Gu still remembers the last mission in the Danshui Barrier, so Sun Gu naturally has a dissatisfaction with Pingyang Lord. Consider it a cold.
What's more, the envoy sent by Zhao Ping has already informed Sun Gu of the purpose of Lord Pingyang's visit. Not to mention that where the general is now is a secret, even if the general just goes to the grassland to relax, he can't tell you. !
Hearing Sun Gu's soft yet hard words, Pingyang Jun immediately felt bad.
"What do you say? I came here on behalf of the king under the king's orders. Is there any reason why I can't tell you?" Lord Pingyang immediately scolded Sun Gudao.
Looking at the fierce-looking Pingyang Jun, Sun Gu smiled faintly and ignored him. He immediately retracted his fists and did not argue with Pingyang Jun. He just stood aside quietly.
Obviously such an action is enough to express Sun Gu's own attitude, and Sun Gu's attitude is the decision of General Zhao Kuo.
Sun Gu believed that no one would be willing to take the risk of offending the general and reveal even half of the information about the general's whereabouts to the so-called royal envoy.
Needless to say, the personal troops under his command, who have seen the general take care of Dr. Lou Chang, have no good impression of the people of Handan at all, and they have no desire to say a word.
As for the other armies in Dai County, since the general came to Dai County, he has distributed military pay and personally led the troops. And today's battle is even more related to the survival of hundreds of thousands of people in Dai County. If you don't want to be killed by yourself, The elders scolded him to death, and these people would not reveal even a few words.
What else is there to say? Just let him do whatever he wants. Not to mention a mere royal envoy, even... Seeing Sun Gu's confident appearance, Lord Pingyang became even more angry. He was about to start a fight and scolded Sun Gu angrily: "Bold! "With that said, Lord Pingyang was ready to take out the last trump card given by King Zhao.
Fortunately, Sun Gu might be able to ignore Pingyang Jun's outburst, but Chen Xun could not.
Therefore, in the face of Lord Pingyang's angry rebuke, Sun Gu had not yet reacted, and Chen Xun here hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
"Pingyang Lord, calm down, calm down!" Chen Xun took half a step forward, quietly separated the two people who were in the same situation, then clasped his fists and saluted Lord Pingyang: "It's not that General Sun doesn't want to tell you, it's actually the general who is going to fight. We have been outside for several days, and even we don't know where the general is now!" This statement is obviously half true and half false, although people in Sangqian City may not be very clear about Zhao Kuo's current specific location. But the general location is still known. After all, if something goes wrong, Zhao Kuo still needs Sangqian City to provide support, so naturally it is impossible not to tell Chen Xun and Sun Gu everything.
However, naturally only a few people know about such things, and General Chen Xun's statement is indeed irrefutable, which can be regarded as giving Lord Pingyang a step forward.
Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to find a way down the stairs. Especially when Lord Pingyang came here, he was destined to offend Zhao Kuo.
If he descended this step at this time, he would have no choice but to wait for Zhao Kuo's return in Sangqian City. Although we don’t know why Zhao Kuo went out of the city to fight, but with Zhao Kuo’s ability, he might have actually defeated the Hu people.
This is contrary to the purpose of coming here!
