Zhao Kuo frowned slightly and asked with some confusion: "Why is this?" Chen Xun then continued: "Judging from the series of actions of Lord Pingyang here, his purpose is not just to turn you around, general." Handan is not even just here to defend Handan." Without waiting for everyone to think, Chen Xun continued: "As General Zhou said, if you want to protect Handan, either General Lianpo or General Tian Dan can lead them. The soldiers from the Party or Hanoi will return to reinforce. Even if we trust the reputation of the general, we can still draw troops from Shangdang and Hanoi, and then be led by you, the general. Why do we have to start from a place where the troops are already insufficient, and are more likely to be already in the army? Where is Daijun deploying troops and horses during the battle?" Hearing this, Li Mu and Zhou Qi were not surprised at all.
Obviously, from Chen Xun's description, they had also noticed that this matter was unusual and that even Li Mu and Zhou Qi could detect it. Zhao Kuo naturally knew it.
But Zhao Kuo couldn't say this by himself. It is also because of this that Zhao Kuo has this sentence of asking questions knowingly.
Of course, in the eyes of everyone, the general is just a fan of the authorities. Therefore, Chen Xun smoothly added the last sentence: "The only possibility is that Handan does not want you to complete the matter of exterminating Hu, or at least it does not want you to complete the matter of exterminating Hu so quickly. "After the words fell, there was a period of silence in the tent.
Obviously Chen Xun's words have not been fully explained yet - who is Handan referring to? Why don't they want the general to complete the task of exterminating Hu Hu so quickly that would benefit the country and the people?
These two more critical and profound questions were never raised by anyone. Because everyone present already had the answer in their minds, so what else could it be?
Are you afraid that the general's superiority will overwhelm the master? But can the mere possibility of being superior to the master be enough to put the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Dai County at risk?
Is it okay to ignore the national interests of Zhao State? Is Bai Qi’s contribution high? From the Battle of Yique, to the Battle of Yanying, and then to the Battle of Huayang, it can be said that they fought from north to south, and from south to north. Their achievements are by no means inferior to Zhao Kuo's Changping Battle.
But for such a figure who had obviously achieved great success, when faced with the fate of the country, the King of Qin still did not hesitate to send him to the front line of Changping, and even handed over all the soldiers, horses, money and food of the entire Qin State. Bai Qi.
This is the gift of a national scholar! But what about our King Zhao? The general here is still fighting bloody battles with the barbarians, and the court over there is not only giving him a lot of help, but is even trying to hinder him.
You know, the general is now protecting the people of Zhao and the dignity of China! Has there ever been such a king throughout the ages?
Faced with such torture, how can everyone answer? Except, silence! However, this won't work, and that won't work either. Is there no other way but to return to the teacher obediently?
What a great advantage. If we just return to the army, how will Daijun defend the enemy when the barbarians react?
How can the people of Daijun survive under the butcher's knife? For a time, the mood in the tent was extremely low.
After a long time, Zhao Kuo finally coughed lightly, and then sighed: "The matter has come to this, there is no difference in thinking too much. And the fight against Yan has been decided, it's just a matter of time. In this case." Zhao Kuo raised his head and looked to the side. Li Mu nodded and said: "Li Mu."
"The general is here." Li Mu replied immediately.
"Send out scouts and messengers, and order the city's headquarters to send out scouts to contact Yan and the city, and gradually launch investigations south and east. Be sure to get information about the Yan army as soon as possible." Zhao Kuo immediately ordered.
"This?" Li Mu paused for a moment. Is the general about to give up? After all, he nodded in agreement: "Yes." Zhao Kuo then nodded again and continued: "Please go, gentlemen, let me think twice. The road is here. There is always a way at your feet. Don't worry, I will not ignore the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dai County." As he said that, Zhao Kuo gave the three of them a smile that was uglier than crying.
The three of them looked at each other and understood that these were the general's words of relief. The king's order has been given, what else can be done?
Is it disobedience? Obviously not. However, if the one who is most saddened to hear this news is none other than the general, from arriving at Dai County with great interest, carefully gathering the morale of the army, to boldly attacking and fighting bloody battles, every incident has been affected by it. With the general's hard work.
On the contrary, the general, who had done the most and who should be sad the most, actually comforted himself.
The three of them looked up at the general with deep-set eyes in the main seat. Thinking that the general had not rested for three days and three nights in order to march closely, and was woken up only three hours after lying down, they couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
Fortunately, a few people did not let tears fall from their eyes. Immediately they all clasped their fists, bowed slightly, and replied, "Yes." Seeing the three people leaving the tent, Zhao Kuo immediately started thinking again.
However, what he was thinking about was not how to solve the trouble at hand, but how to deal with Yan Jun.
That's right, the Pingyang Lord in front of him is not a trouble at all. If it were possible, Zhao Kuo would really want to catch Pingyang Lord and kiss him hard.
Sure enough, a good teammate is not as good as a pig opponent! Just one Pingyang Lord welded his subordinates together firmly, and even planted the seeds of resistance in their hearts, but it saved Zhao Kuo an unknown amount of trouble.
Compared with this harvest, the sudden attack brought by Pingyang Jun is almost insignificant. It's very simple. Zhao Kuo is ready to steal the country and claim it as his own. King Zhao doesn't want to pay attention to it. Why would he care about a small tiger charm?
Even if he wanted to maintain his obedience on the surface, Zhao Kuo had ten thousand ways to build plank roads openly and covertly.
But this Yan Jun seems to be a bit troublesome! In this way, Zhao Kuo sat there blankly, quietly thinking about the future war.
Outside the tent, not far away, after General Chen Xun was settled, Zhou Qi and Li Mu continued to walk around.
Looking at the Chinese army's tent getting further and further away, Zhou Qi suddenly whispered to Li Mu: "How about I lead my own soldiers and pretend to be a barbarian?" Li Mu was shocked when he heard this!
Of course he knew what Zhou Qi meant - pretending to be a barbarian and intercepting Lord Pingyang! I have to say that this proposal is very tempting, and even has a certain degree of maneuverability. Just the few generals around Pingyang Jun, let alone the general's personal soldiers, even a hundred people randomly pulled out of the Dai army. , enough to kill him ten or eight times.
But what happens after the slaughter? Even if a life could be spared, everyone in Sangqian City knew that Lord Pingyang was heading towards the camp, and the Hu people outside Sangqian City had already been wiped out by the general.
How to explain this sudden appearance of a barbarian?
