It is not difficult to see from the attire of Chen Xun and Zhou Qi that it was enough time for them to change their armors and take a rest. Also because Zhao Kuo was shouting in a hurry, both generals Chen Xun and Zhou Qi were summoned without changing their armors. coming.
But Li Mu still wore his armor neatly, which was obviously not something he put on temporarily.
The only explanation can only be: Li Mu has already anticipated this meeting again!
As expected of Li Mu! Zhao Kuo sighed in his heart.
"General." The three of them saluted in unison.
Zhao Kuo looked at the three of them, smiled slightly, and then said: "Everyone, please get up."
Immediately, Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu with great interest and said, "General Li."
"The general is here." Li Mu immediately left the station and replied.
"General Chen and Zhou Qi were both caught off guard by my sudden summons. But you, General Li, have neat armor and a long sword at your waist. You must have expected my summons?!" Zhao Kuo asked with a smile.
Hearing this, both Chen Xun and Zhou Qi looked at Li Mu with some surprise. No wonder they felt strange and uncomfortable as soon as they came in. It turned out that the crux was here.
But how did you know that the general wanted to summon us? The two of them were also a little curious.
Listening to Zhao Kuo's words and feeling the surprise of the two generals around him, Li Mu felt very calm in his heart. He had never been one to guess Shangfeng's intentions.
"Report to the general." Li Mu's tone was still calm: "The general has heard that the general, for the benefit of the Zhao State, refused the king's chaos and exchanged the land of Taoyi for the strategic Hanoi County, which became the stronghold of the Shangdang today. Also, in order to destroy the power of the Qin army, they did not hesitate to take risks and force the Qin army's leader Bai Qi to death, so that the Qin people are as weak as they are today.
With all these factors in mind, the general will definitely not sit idly by and simply obey the king's orders when the Hu invaders invade the border, whether it is for the benefit of Zhao or for the safety of the local people. The words in the hall may have come from the mouth of Mr. Sai Pingyang, or there is no way to achieve both ends, but they are definitely not what the general had in mind.
Judging from the general's refutation of Lord Pingyang's actions, the general may have some wisdom in his hands. Once the general has thought properly, he will definitely call us to discuss it together. Therefore, the general has not taken off his armor, just to wait for the call of the general. . "
Hearing this, Zhao Kuo nodded unconsciously, not only because of Li Mu's keen awareness and calm analysis, but also because of Li Mu's outspokenness.
Only with enough trust can Li Mu tell everything in his heart. And this is the most rare quality, and the quality that Zhao Kuo appreciates the most.
Zhou Qi, who heard the words on the side, also had an envious look on his face. His trust and respect for the general would never be lost on Li Mu. Unfortunately, he was still not sharp and smart enough.
As for Chen Xun, he was already focused on the so-called method of having both ends. He wished he could immediately know how the general was going to save the people of Dai County from the fire.
Looking at Chen Xun with an expectant look on his face, Zhao Kuo immediately stopped being pretentious.
"Actually, I have already informed you of the method, but you didn't seem to understand my intention, so I ordered you to come here." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
"Have you been informed?" Chen Xun was obviously a little confused, and the other two people were obviously not very clear either.
"The key to this battle is to eliminate the troops of King Youxian of the Hu people." Zhao Kuo had no choice but to continue explaining: "Where is the army of King Youxian?"
"Outside the city, in the grassland." Li Mu obviously thought of something and immediately answered for Zhao Kuo.
"Of course!" Zhao Kuo nodded and continued: "What we discussed today, after we set off tomorrow, where will we go?"
"Dangcheng!" Chen Xun obviously seemed to realize it, and there was some trembling in his voice.
It’s no wonder that the old man, after all, just a quarter of an hour ago, he thought that he had to die for the country. It was nothing to die for the country. What was pitiful was the hundreds of thousands of people in Daidi.
Now, the general is telling himself that not only will he not have to die, but hundreds of thousands of people in Daidi will not suffer such a disaster. This really makes General Chen Xun very excited.
As long as King Youxian's army is cut off, with only the 80,000 troops of the Hu Shanyu there, plus the low morale after losing two generals, even if
The general has taken away 20,000 generations of local troops, and the barbarians can't even hope to invade easily!
Thinking of this, Chen Xun felt full of energy!
"What does the general mean, can we deliberately go astray? Then we unexpectedly encounter the troops of King Youxian of the Hu people, and then..." At this point, even Zhou Qi immediately reacted.
"What do you mean by going wrong? It was clear that the barbarians suddenly attacked, and our army was caught off guard and had to fight." Zhao Kuo immediately corrected him seriously: "There is no problem with our army's route, do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!" Zhou Qi reacted immediately and quickly changed his words: "It's all the Hu people's problem!"
Don't underestimate this small correction. It goes without saying that a thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. Although Zhao Kuo's ultimate goal is still to replace him, before he can replace him, Wang Mang is obviously the best example.
Zhao Kuo must avoid all stains as much as possible and create his own perfect personality, so as to pave the way for his future victory. After all, people today have never heard of the saying "Wang Mang was respectful and did not usurp the throne." , but there is some saying that "virtue is not matched".
Even though this battle was for the people of Daijun, even if everyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on, Zhao Kuo still couldn't bring this matter to light.
As Yang Jinshui and Eunuch Yang said: "Many things, if they are not put on the scale, they will not weigh four ounces, and if they are put on the scale, they will not weigh a thousand kilograms." ("The Ming Dynasty 1566")
Seeing that the internal opinions had been unified, Zhao Kuo immediately continued to arrange the detailed work.
"First, we need to stabilize Lord Pingyang." Zhao Kuo then looked at Chen Xun and said, "General Chen, this is something I can only do hard for you."
"Don't worry, General." Chen Xun immediately said, although he didn't know how to stabilize Lord Pingyang, but for the sake of the people of Daidi, even if he risked his old face, Chen Xun would help the General. Do it. .z.br>
"It's not difficult to stabilize Lord Pingyang." Zhao Kuo obviously knew that Chen Xun had no draft in mind.
You don’t have it, I have it!
Immediately, Zhao Kuo began to teach Chen Xun tips: "General Chen, just go under the guise of asking for mercy. Anyway, wherever Lord Pingyang goes, you will go with him. When you are free, tell him to come back two days later." Things about Handan. Once Mr. Pingyang gets annoyed, he will hide in the carriage, and in that case, the news will be blocked. Do you understand?"
"Yes! The general will understand." Chen Xun agreed immediately.
"Second, we must cut off Lord Pingyang's ears and eyes. Lord Pingyang is the king's envoy, so naturally we can't restrict his movements. Even if you have servants, you can't move around at will." Zhao Kuo then looked at Zhou Qi who was eager to try.
