After some intimidation, Zhao Kuo finally took military power completely into his own hands. At the same time, because of Lord Pingyang's poor performance, everyone present once again saw clearly the unbearable state of Handan's court, and the military group with Zhao Kuo as the center once again gained deep unity.
After studying the marching route, Zhao Kuo immediately continued to point out the general: "General Chen Xun."
"The general is here." Chen Xun immediately replied respectfully.
"General, you have had a hard journey here, so please go with me to the city." Zhao Kuo said calmly: "After the army leaves, the defense of Daijun will have to be entrusted to the general!"
When Chen Xun heard this, he sighed lightly and promised seriously: "Yes. But as long as I, Chen Xun, am here, I will not allow the barbarians to step outside the city!"
Listening to his words, it sounds like a strong man will never return once he is gone.
Of course Zhao Kuo understood what Chen Xun was thinking. Seeing that the army was about to leave, among the three cities (Macheng, Sangqian City, and Dangcheng) facing the Hu people, Macheng increased a large number of troops. King Zuo Xian's troops outside Sangqian City had been wiped out, except for this. When the city. Since they had no troops, they still had to face nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses commanded by King Youxian.
Faced with the king's order, the army had to leave. The only way to make the city hold on for a few more days was to send a general to guard it.
Who to send? Who else could it be?
This person must have extremely deep feelings for Daichi, and even be willing to sacrifice his life for it, otherwise he will not be able to hold on when the army besieges the city.
This person must also be in a high position and must be extremely prestigious. Otherwise, he would not be able to subdue the generals in the city, nor would he be able to appease the thousands of troops living in the city when the enemy force ten times his own was pressing down.
Although Zhou Qi was once a member of the Dai Di Army, he had been gone for a long time and could no longer be considered a member of the Dai Di Army. Asking someone to guard a city that was bound to be lost was not reassuring after thinking about it. Of course, this peace of mind is not only the peace of mind of Zhao Kuo, but also the peace of mind of the soldiers in the city.
Li Mu? On the other hand, people from the Dai Army also have deep feelings for Dai Jun. But now that is Zhao Kuo's pet peeve, not to mention that although Li Mu was promoted to be the deputy general of the army, only a dozen days ago, he was just a captain, and even a few months ago, he was just a captain. A famous school captain, the issue of qualifications alone was enough to rule him out.
Who else is left?
There is only General Chen Xunchen, the former commander of the Daidi Army! There is no better candidate than him.
Even under such circumstances, the effect of Zhao Kuo's personal stay may not be as good as that of Chen Xun's stay.
Only if he stands at the top of the city, the soldiers and people in the city will believe that Zhao has not abandoned them, will they be willing to continue to fight the enemy with all their might, and will they be able to defend for as many days as possible.
But, what’s the point of staying a few more days?
Could it be that the tens of thousands of Yan troops were defeated by the general in a few days? What's more, the journey to Handan will take more than ten days, and on the Hu people's side, as the news of the collapse of King Zuoxian's tribe spreads, I am afraid that there will soon be an overall counterattack by the Hu people.
It can be said that Chen Xun accepted Zhao Kuo's arrangement and actually agreed to die for Zhao Guo.
However, besides dying generously, what else can he do? In addition to this old body, facing the unreasonable Handan court, Chen Xun really didn't know what else to do!
Zhao Kuo understood that Li Mu and Zhou Qi who were present did not know it either!
Sighs came out of the two of them unconsciously. Only a person like General Chen could be so indifferent between life and death.
But can't the general think of another way? Do you just have to watch General Chen, watch the city fall, and watch hundreds of thousands of people everywhere lose their lives?
However, what can be done? The king's order has been issued, and the king's messenger is here to watch!
In an instant, the mood in the tent fell to the extreme.
It was this sigh that made Zhao Kuo suddenly realize that no one present, including Li Mu, might have understood his intention.
The good news is that Pingyang Jun was naturally also fooled.
In the dark, the bad news is that if you don’t know your plans, you won’t be able to sing the next scene.
"In addition, since we are going to fight against the Yan army, our army has no intelligence at all. This is absolutely not allowed." Zhao Kuo then continued: "Send out scouts immediately. We must bring back useful information before the general arrives in the city. military situation."
"Yes." As the deputy general of the army, Li Mu agreed immediately.
After saying this, Zhao Kuo had filled in the last missing piece. He immediately nodded and said nothing more to the other three generals. He turned to Lord Pingyang and said, "Are you satisfied with this arrangement? Do you have anything to add?" of?"
Pingyang Jun, who had been severely frightened by Zhao Kuo, didn't dare to have any other opinions. He immediately clasped his hands and said, "The general has thought carefully, but the subordinate has no objections."
"That's good." Zhao Kuo nodded lightly, and then continued: "There is still some time before dawn, everyone should go and rest first."
"Yes." Everyone who heard this agreed, and then the four of them turned around and left the Chinese army's tent.
However, after everyone left, Zhao Kuo did not rest, but still sat on the main seat.
"Here comes someone." Not long after, Zhao Kuo's voice sounded again.
With a "crack" sound, the curtains were lifted up by soldiers from outside.
"General." The soldier saluted with his hands clasped in fists.
"Two things: First, arrange for someone to guard the camp where Lord Pingyang and his entourage are. The followers are not allowed to come in and out at will. As for Lord Pingyang, there is no need to restrict his freedom, but once there is any movement, he must be aware of it as soon as possible and report it. To me." Zhao Kuo said calmly.
"Second, arrange for personal soldiers to quietly bring General Chen, Li Mu and Zhou Qi over. Don't let Lord Pingyang and others know about it, understand?" Zhao Kuo continued to order.
"Yes." The soldier replied immediately.
Zhao Kuo, who received a positive reply, immediately waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately retreated.
Not long after, the curtain was opened again, and the watery moonlight once again shone into the big tent, and Chen Xun, Li Mu and Zhou Qi also filed in. Z.br>
A scene that surprised Zhao Kuo happened again.
I saw Chen Xun and Zhou Qi both changing into casual clothes, but Li Mu was still wearing armor, and he didn't even take off the long sword from his waist.
It is naturally impossible for Li Mu, who has already patrolled the camp, to patrol the camp again. The only explanation is that Li Mu has not removed his armor!
But Zhao Kuo had obviously asked them all to rest just now! In order to avoid the eyes and ears of Lord Pingyang, Zhao Kuo even waited for a while before ordering people to go there!
Apparently...
