"Report!" A soldier called softly from outside the curtain.
"Come in." Zhao Kuo's somewhat dry voice came quickly.
Gently lifting the curtain, the soldiers quickly came to the tent. Inside the tent, Zhao Kuo was wearing plain clothes and a coat, sitting upright on the throne. Chen Xun was on the right, and generals Li Mu and Zhou Qi were on the left.
"Report to the general: Lord Pingyang and his party have all gone to bed." The soldiers reported to Zhao Kuo softly.
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "We have only been setting up camp for two-quarters of an hour, right?"
Everyone who heard this felt a little incredible. For two quarters of an hour, many soldiers, including Zhao Kuo, had not even eaten! He actually fell asleep over there?
After hearing this, Li Mu and Zhou Qi looked at each other with nervous expressions in their eyes.
"Have you inquired carefully?" Zhao Kuo asked with some disbelief.
"It is true that the lights have been turned off. The general found an excuse and brought some meat inside to check. It is true that everyone has fallen asleep." The soldier replied immediately.
"Didn't you find you?" Zhao Kuo continued to ask.
"No, there was even a slight movement when General Mo put down the meat, and it didn't startle anyone." The soldier continued to answer.
After hearing this, Zhao Kuo shook his head helplessly.
"This march is nothing to our army, but Pingyang Lord is so proud that he naturally cannot bear it." Chen Xun shook his head helplessly from the side.
"It's also a good thing." Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "In that case, Li Mu and Zhou Qi."
"exist."
"The end will be here."
Li Mu and Zhou Qi were stunned for a moment, then stood up together with some anxiety and surprise and answered.
"The plan is inconvenient. We will set off at the Chou hour. The decisive battle will be at the Yin hour. The battle will be completed at the Mao hour. Return to camp at the Chen hour. Go and prepare." After Zhao Kuo pretended to ponder for a while, he waved his hand and gave the order.
"Yes." The two of them explained that they were surprised, and then they both handed over their hands and accepted the order.
Immediately, the two people came out of the Chinese army tent one after another.
It was no wonder that the two of them were not so surprised. According to what the general said, this battle was obviously going to be carried out according to the original plan, which was to be executed by the two of them.
Although the number of people was not too large, it was still an attack battle involving 30,000 troops. Even though there had been an attack battle before, the general was behind the scenes.
Now in this battle, the general wants to leave it all to himself!
It can be said that this time is the true sense of leading the army and being alone. For any general, this is a great affirmation and a great encouragement.
Of course, according to the original plan, the general decided to stay just because he was afraid of being known to Lord Pingyang. Even if Lord Pingyang found out, he could stop him. But now that Lord Pingyang went to bed early, there is no such worry.
Originally, the two of them had given up on what they had in mind, but they didn't want to be a general and still entrusted them with important tasks. What was this? This is true trust! Even more respect!
"General." Chen Xun, who was on the side, felt a little uneasy when he saw the two leaving, and then said, "How about I go and watch for you, General?"
That's right, Zhao Kuo left this battle completely to Li Mu and Zhou Qi, but Chen Xun, as the acting landlord general, was a little worried. After all, this battle was related to the safety of Dai Jun. With such a critical It's really a bit uneasy to train generals in a battle. .z.br>
Considering the general's injury this morning, if he is unable to go into battle, Chen Xun, a former general who has had countless encounters with the Hu people, will obviously be the best candidate.
Of course Zhao Kuo knew what Chen Xun was worried about, but Zhao Kuo knew Li Mu's abilities even more. What's more, this battle is almost the same as the battle that just ended to defeat King Zuo Xian's troops. Both of them are very experienced.
On the contrary, Chen Xun had no idea about the heavy cavalry under his command. If he were to organize the battle, there would probably be problems.
Therefore, rejection is almost certain.
Of course, from the beginning, Zhao Kuo needed to use this battle to completely establish Li Mu's reputation. Fortunately, he was about to go to Handan to clean up the situation.
After summarizing the situation, Li Mu was able to control the situation for himself.
And if he wants to achieve Li Mu's reputation, he must not follow him, even if he is just sitting in. Once he follows, no matter how well Li Mu performs, the credit will only go to himself.
As for the so-called blocking of Pingyang Lord's words, or his own physical injuries, they were just Zhao Kuo's excuses at the beginning. Now that Lord Pingyang has gone to bed, Zhao Kuo simply gives the order directly.
Of course, the old general still needs to be comforted.
"Don't worry, old general." Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "The appointment of these two people this time was not impulsive, nor was it just because of the injury to their backs. The two of them already had a lot of experience in the battle with King Zuo Xian, and today they are If we fail to test what we have learned in battle, nothing will happen. Moreover, after this battle, the general will be old, and I may be trapped in Handan, so Daijun needs a new general."
"This..." After Chen Xun heard this, he realized that the general had a big plan.
However, what Chen Xun didn't know was that Zhao Kuo was not training Li Mu to be the general of an army, but to be the general of Zhao State.
This mere Hu man, King Youxian, is only worthy of being the first stepping stone for Zhao Guo's future general.
You know, Zhao Kuo's own stepping stone is Qin's God Bai Qi!
"Old general, please rest first. There will be good news before midnight!" Zhao Kuo stood up with a smile and went to rest behind the screen.
How relieved are these two! General Chen Xun was obviously a little confused when faced with this scene, and he couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
Seeing that Zhao Kuo had walked behind the screen and was about to take off his clothes, Chen Xun remained silent and could only clasp his fists and retreat.
However, Zhao Kuo sent Chen Xun away, and Li Mu and Zhou Qi over there were also extremely excited. Since the time had not yet arrived, the two of them immediately went to the camp and seized the last moment to start the final deduction. .
"I will lead my heavy armored cavalry from north to south and advance straight forward!"
"The horse archers will protect the left and right sides and clear the way for your heavy cavalry."
"After entering the camp, I rode all the way south and attacked King Youxian's central army's tent."
"The archers then released rockets, causing chaos and helping your heavy cavalry to advance. I led the light cavalry to charge along your line and completely destroy the barbarians' camps along the way."
"After I broke through the center of the army and killed the enemy generals, I continued to charge forward with my heavy cavalry. When I reached the rear camp, my horse speed did not slow down and gradually turned in direction, piercing the Hu people's left camp from the southeast to the northwest."
"Be careful that the horse speed is not too slow, and it is not allowed to collide with our light cavalry. We should use our large banner as our signal."
"Understood! Your breakthrough must be timely and fast."
"Don't worry, if you step on it with your hind hooves, within five breaths, my Qingqi will follow!"
"good!"
"good!"
