"Go to the nearby camp and call General Zhou Qi to discuss the matter with the Chinese army." After Zhao Kuo pondered for a while, he calmly ordered Li Mu: "Explain the situation to him on the way."
"Yes." Li Mu agreed immediately.
"General Chen, please wait a moment while I change into clothes." Zhao Kuo then said to Chen Xun.
"Yes." Chen Xun naturally agreed quickly. Obviously, Chen Xun knew that this was so sudden that even the general needed time to think.
Soon, Zhou Qi was brought to the central military tent, and Zhao Kuo had already put on a military uniform and was sitting on the main seat.
Sitting on the right hand side is naturally General Chen Xun. After the greetings, before Zhao Kuo could ask, the fiery Zhou Qi started to rant against the sky and the earth with great fury.
"General, don't worry about those birdies. Others don't know, so how could we not know that there are at least 30,000 troops in Handan. How can it be so easy to defeat? What's more, it is difficult to mobilize troops from Shangdang and Hanoi counties. Daijun, you don’t know what soldiers are saying. If our army leaves at this time, the land of Daijun thousands of miles away will be destroyed by the barbarians." Looking at Zhou Qi's angry face, Li Mu didn't show the slightest emotion. From the look of disagreement, it was obvious that Zhou Qi also expressed what he was thinking.
However, in this world, not everything that is right will definitely be implemented, and even right and wrong are only relative.
Transferring Zhao Kuo back to the army may be a mistake for the people of Daijun, the Zhao army, and even the entire Zhao country, but it is the best choice for King Zhao.
With a slight sigh, Chen Xun stood up helplessly, shook his head and slowly said to the angry Zhou Qi: "I'm afraid it won't work if I don't reply."
"Why?" Zhou Qi's neck stiffened even more.
"Hi." Chen Xun sighed softly and said, "In addition to the royal order silk books, what Pingyang Lord brought also..." At this point, Chen Xun sighed heavily again, which made Li Mu sigh. Both Zhou Qi and Zhou Qi were impatient, so they continued: "Pingyang Jun still carries the tiger talisman given by the king."
"Tiger Talisman?!"
"Tiger Talisman?!" Li Mu and Zhou Qi both opened their eyes wide with shock on their faces.
Even Zhao Kuo, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, was shocked when he heard this. Soldiers are a major matter for the country and should not be taken lightly by others!
A few months ago, Zhao Kuo went to Changping to replace Lian Po. Zhao Kuo had already fought bloody battles in the army, and had made a lot of contributions to Zhao Guo. However, it was only because of the death of his father, Ma Fujun Zhao She, that he gradually Faded out of sight.
It can be said that although Zhao Kuo left the army for a while, the army was still very convinced of Zhao Kuo, and his prestige was only second to General Lian Po.
Even so, after Zhao Kuo entered the camp, he was cautious in everything, fearing that something would go wrong.
But now King Zhao actually handed over the tiger talisman to a civil servant who had never led an army or fought in a war. Isn't this child's play?
What's more, what is the tiger talisman? It is an object that is the leader of an army and is superior to all other tokens. Taking this object and coming to the general's camp, isn't this obviously not giving the general face?
But it is obvious that this general is still devoting his whole life to the prosperity of Zhao State! Several people couldn't believe that King Zhao would act so hastily and recklessly.
But the facts are there, no one can disbelieve them, and all the inconceivability and disbelief finally turned into a few heavy sighs.
In fact, Zhou Qi really wanted to say: "No matter what the tiger talisman is, I only recognize the general's orders." But after looking at the situation and the people present, Zhou Qi still suppressed his words. Go back, but once such seeds are planted, they are bound to sprout and grow bigger...
"Otherwise, we can leave overnight!" Zhou Qi's mind turned and he quickly came up with another idea.
Since we can't openly disobey the king's orders and ignore the tiger talisman, then we will do it quietly. The army will set off and head east. As long as we go deep into the grassland, it will be difficult for Lord Pingyang to find us again!
When Li Mu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up - disrespecting orders and not receiving orders are completely different things.
In this way, the conflict with the king and Lord Pingyang can be avoided, and the war in Daijun can be carried out smoothly. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
Immediately, the two of them looked at Zhao Kuo who was on the throne with hopeful eyes. As long as the general said a word, the two of them immediately took action in pairs. With the current cooperation of Zhao Jun, I believe they can complete the assembly and start departure in less than half an hour.
Looking at the expectant looks in their eyes, Zhao Kuo was honestly a little moved. However, this idea was quickly rejected by Zhao Kuo.
In fact, before Zhao Kuo could speak, Chen Xun on the side had already dismissed the two people's ideas: "Pingyang Jun and I came forward, and although I arrived first, I think Pingyang Jun will not be far behind. I’m afraid that in less than half an hour, Lord Pingyang and his party will arrive here.”
"And even if our army can prepare and set off within half an hour, it will definitely not be able to hide from Lord Pingyang. As a result, it will still not be able to escape the fate of turning back to Handan." Chen Xun said helplessly, his tone even more complicated. I feel less regret. If I could have sent the information earlier, maybe the current situation would not be so passive.
"Okay." Zhao Kuo obviously saw the annoyance in Chen Xun's tone, and immediately stopped the self-blame in his heart, and then said: "General Chen, you can come here, I will be very grateful. I'm happy; but I don't like the annoyance in your words." After saying that, he turned to the three of them and said: "Returning to Handan is an undisputed matter, so we don't have to worry about what has happened or is bound to happen. I keep worrying about things. Being upset about the past will not only not help the current situation, but will also confuse my judgment of the next situation, which will lead to us making wrong decisions."
"Yes." Although he knew that the general was really comforting him, Chen Xun still felt warm in his heart.
"Since this general is destined to turn around." Zhao Kuo pondered for a moment, then continued: "The soldiers and horses in the camp are led by General Li Mu and continue to implement the established plan - to conquer the army of King Youxian of the Hu people in the east, and this general will go first How about returning to Handan?"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!" As soon as Zhao Kuo's voice fell, three objections sounded out in unison. The three of them looked at each other, and it was obvious that they all thought of going together. It was Chen Xun, the most senior, who persuaded Zhao Kuo: "General, not to mention that the Yan army may have entered the country at this time, you are alone." How dangerous it is to act alone, even Lord Pingyang cannot let you return to Handan alone!"
