Pingyang Jun, who understood that he could not seize Zhao Kuo's military power, immediately clasped his hands and said politely: "What did the general say? Since you are in charge, how can there be any reason for a subordinate to take charge of the army? The king ordered me to urge the general to return as soon as possible. It's just a division. Please don't get me wrong, General." Pingyang Jun's words have made it very clear. As long as General, you are willing to move the division, the military power will still be yours.
Everyone, including Zhao Kuo, naturally understood what Lord Pingyang meant, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If Lord Pingyang really took control of the army, it might not be certain whether they could return to Handan safely.
Being able to allow the general to continue to be in charge of the army can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes.
"Misunderstanding?" Zhao Kuo did not breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this. He just laughed. Apart from disdain and ridicule, the laughter also contained a contemptuous sigh - he was really asking the horse to run, but he was also afraid that the horse would eat grass. ah!
Fortunately, Zhao Kuo is no longer the incompetent and angry social beast of later generations.
"It seems that I have misunderstood the king and Lord Pingyang?" Zhao Kuo said lightly. Then his eyes narrowed slightly and his voice gradually became serious. Zhao Kuo then continued to ask: "It is my king's wish. If the general agrees to return to Handan immediately, Lord Pingyang, you cannot use the tiger talisman to interfere with the military, right?" Lord Pingyang asked again. Wei Wei was startled, did he have to say this so clearly?
is it necessary? It is naturally unnecessary to stand from Pingyang Jun's point of view, because this will obviously put himself in an extremely embarrassing position. After all, without the deterrence of the Tiger Talisman, I don't want to know that other people will not have a good look on me, although it is no longer the case. He was so embarrassed, but at least he had the Tiger Talisman by his side, and his waist became stronger.
Once he speaks too clearly, the skin he wears will lose its original deterrence, which is what Pingyang Jun does not want to see.
But for Zhao Kuo, this question must be raised, and it needs a clear answer from Pingyang Jun.
Only in this way, Zhao Kuo's next plan can continue without interference from Lord Pingyang.
Therefore, a straightforward and naked question was immediately thrown out by Zhao Kuo. Faced with Zhao Kuo's question, Pingyang Jun naturally could not pretend to be deaf and dumb.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Of course! As long as the general can immediately return to Handan, I can't interfere with the military. But I have never thought of interfering with your command, the general." Zhao Kuo heard this, but he was neither sad nor happy. He said: "That's good." That's good?
The good thing? Is it a good thing that the king will not let Pingyang Jun interfere with the military, or is it a good thing that Pingyang Jun is self-aware?
Obviously, Zhao Kuo's three simple words severely trampled Pingyang Jun's face into the ground again.
This is obviously not the attitude a general should have towards a king's envoy, but that's what Zhao Kuo did!
Without him, since he chose to take this trip, he was destined to sit on the opposite side of himself. In that case, Zhao Kuo didn't want to give him any face.
As for Mr. Pingyuan, he had already used his face when he joined the party, but it is obviously not easy to use it now. However, listening to Zhao Kuo's slightly rude words, Pingyang Jun was really helpless. After all, the person sitting opposite him was the general, and the place where they were now was still in the military camp of that generation.
A good man doesn't want to suffer immediate losses, and if he doesn't want to endure it, Lord Pingyang has to endure it too. Lord Pingyang here was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, but Zhao Kuo over there had completely ignored Lord Pingyang's existence and just gave orders to the generals below.
"Generals, listen to your orders." Zhao Kuo stood up immediately. The three people present except Pingyang Jun immediately bowed and accepted the order: "The general is here!"
"My general orders: Breakfast at Chenshi today, set off at three o'clock and return to Handan." Zhao Kuo continued to order.
The three generals hesitated slightly when they heard the words, but in the end they bowed helplessly and accepted the order: "Yes." But even a fool can hear this sound.
The unwillingness in the word "yes". Yes, what can the general do? If the general disagrees with the squad, Lord Pingyang will use the tiger talisman in his hand to take over the military power. Only then will there be real trouble!
Seeing the helpless faces of the three people agreeing, Pingyang Jun, who was originally in a rather boring mood, suddenly felt extremely satisfied.
People seem to be more willing to see the misfortunes of others than to see their own luck. However, Zhao Kuo's next arrangements are obviously not to let Pingyang Jun have a happy sleep.
"Li Mu!" Zhao Kuo continued to order.
"The general will be here." Li Mu immediately stepped forward and agreed.
"Zhou Qi." Zhao Kuo did not arrange the task immediately, but continued to point Zhou Qi.
"The end will be here." Zhou Qi also immediately took a half step forward and answered with cupped fists.
"I order you two to be the vanguard and deputy vanguard of our army, to clear the way for our army." Zhao Kuo paused slightly, and then said calmly: "The goal: take over the city!"
"Yes." The two of them immediately agreed in unison without doubting that he was there. Li Mu and Zhou Qi agreed happily, but Pingyang Jun on the side blinked his eyes, seemed to have thought of something, and immediately interrupted Zhao Kuo's deployment.
"Slow down!" Lord Pingyang stepped in between Zhao Kuo and the generals and said without courtesy: "General, aren't we going back to Handan? Why go to Dang City? Not Sangqian City?" After saying this, Zhou Qi behind him laughed out loud, no one else could laugh but his ignorance!
Zhao Kuo looked at the angry Lord Pingyang and said in a calm tone: "Jun Pingyang, I will remember that you said: As long as I agree to return to Handan immediately, my king will not allow you to interfere in the military affairs! I thought that you were the king's envoy, so I kept you in the military plane. Now, why are you questioning my order for no reason?"
"General." Pingyang Jun was not polite and immediately retorted: "If the general's words and deeds are consistent and he immediately reverses his actions, the subordinates will naturally not dare to question it, but if the general has other plans, the subordinates will have to ask. "
"Haha, haha!" Zhao Kuoyou laughed and said, "Pingyang Lord, when did I say that I would not go back to Handan on this trip?" As soon as these words came out, Pingyang Lord had no further reaction, but Li Mu did. I heard an unusual meaning in it - do you really want to return to Handan?
Li Mu, who originally thought it was nothing, now somewhat understood the general's intention.
"If we go back to Handan, we should naturally go back to Sangqian City first..." Pingyang Jun said still stubbornly.
"Zhou Qi." Zhao Kuo didn't want to be entangled anymore, so he immediately called out Zhou Qi and said, "Come on, please explain something to Lord Pingyang." Obviously, the third party's explanation would be better than that of the person who gave the order. to explain it more convincingly.
"Yes." Zhou Qi, who couldn't hold back his laughter, immediately accepted the order and saluted Lord Pingyang, but the ridicule on his face was really unbearable: "Reporting to Lord Pingyang, on our way to Handan, we must pass through Yanyu City. But before Yanyu City, there are two roads to choose from!"
"One..."
