The cleanly washed baskets contained loads of fresh fruits, jars of home-brewed rice wine, and even hot and cold dishes. Hen soup was cold and cold - it was a hen that could lay eggs. The people raised their knives almost without thinking.
The people, with their simplest emotions and most sincere gratitude, thanked their general and his soldiers for everything they had done for the city and the place.
"Coming, coming!" a voice shouted from the top of the city tower. Almost instantly, a crowd of people swarmed forward. Fortunately, the eyes of the detective horses in front of Zhao Kuo were quite sharp, otherwise they would have thought it was an enemy attack. Got it!
Zhao Kuo, who was in the Chinese army, quickly got the news. Although he was still worried about the outcome of the next battle, in the face of the enthusiastic people in the city, Zhao Kuo had to temporarily put down the big stone in his heart, pat his war horse, and quickly rushed to the front army to accept the blessings of the people who were eating pots of pulp. enthusiasm.
"General!"
"General, take a sip of our own rice wine to relieve your fatigue!"
"General, please try our chicken soup!" Zhao Kuo's arrival once again pushed the enthusiasm of the scene to a climax. The people raised their baskets and handed them to Zhao Kuo.
In order to be in close contact with the people, Zhao Kuo not only ordered the army to light torches to illuminate the people, but he also changed into an open carriage.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the people, Zhao Kuo did not refuse anyone who came, giving him a sip of chicken soup, a sip of rice wine, and another
"Thank you!" Such a simple gesture made the people excited again. Of course, it was not polite to come back and forth, so quietly, the few soldiers who followed Zhao Kuo also quietly stuffed a few knives and coins into the baskets of the people who were eating pots of pulp.
The people of Daijun have always been poor, and Zhao Kuo didn't want to make the lives of the people of Daijun even more difficult just because of a labor force.
The saying "the common people are suffering" should never have appeared in Zhao Kuo's vision. What's more, the gold belt for murder and arson, this strangulation operation against the barbarians has already made Zhao Kuo a lot of money. Zhao Kuo said that he really looked down upon the people's small money.
"If the order is passed, the people can take as much as they wish, and twice the amount of money will be returned quietly. All money and goods will be spent by the general." This was the military order issued by Zhao Kuo just after he arrived at the front army.
However, Zhao Kuo's unintentional and intentional actions had a different taste in the eyes of the people.
When the people discovered that the basket was suddenly much heavier, and when they took a closer look, they saw that it was several times the amount of knives and coins that they had donated. Everyone looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes, and then tears filled their eyes!
What a king! This is Master Wang!
"Long live the General!"
"Long live the general!" Amidst bursts of cheers, Zhao Kuo's carriage finally entered the city. With the army consisting mostly of local troops, a carnival was inevitable.
Zhao Kuo naturally knew this, and immediately issued an order not to drink alcohol, and then allowed them to go crazy.
The sound of singing and dancing came to mind again from the city, and the aroma of barbecue almost drowned the entire city.
The excitement was theirs, Zhao Kuo had nothing. Zhao Kuo, who was wearing heavy armor and his own soldiers, personally inspected the city tower and kept vigil for the army.
It's not that Zhao Kuo is showing off, he just wants to see the return of Scout Tanma as soon as possible. That's right, even Zhao Kuo himself has arrived in Dangcheng, and there is no news yet from the scouts he sent to explore the horse.
Of course, this is normal. After all, it only takes a few days to explore the horse. Let alone inquire about information, it may be difficult to find Yan Jun.
And this also illustrates one thing from the side: the Yan army's progress is not as rapid as he imagined, at least the Yan army should not have reached the vicinity of Yanyucheng yet.
After all, the distance between Dangcheng and Yulan is not too far. It is only two days' journey. With the configuration of one scout and two horses, it can even run back and forth in a day and a half. In other words, if Lin and the city are There was a Yan army nearby, and it was impossible for the scouts he sent to explore the horse that no news had come back yet.
Only when the enemy is not detected in Yanyucheng, Tanma needs to continue to investigate south and east, so that no news will be transmitted back.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, all the scouts and horses have been wiped out.
But this possibility is obviously too small. After all, being able to serve as a scout in the Dai army is the elite of the elite. Coupled with Zhao Kuo's strict order, the city almost sent out all the more than a hundred scouts under its command. Spread out.
Even the Qin army might not be able to guard against so many probing horses, let alone the Yan army. Especially if you don't miss anyone, it's almost impossible.
There is no hostility between Yan and Cheng for the time being, and it is almost a certainty. After making this judgment, Zhao Kuo was obviously happy.
This also means that it is impossible for him to be blocked in Dai Di. At the same time, Zhao Kuo also faced a question: after dawn tomorrow, should he continue to move towards Yanyucheng, or should he stay put and wait for the latest news?
Zhao Kuo patted the thick city wall and looked at the bright moon in the sky, but there was a slight hesitation in his heart.
Continuing to march is of course the safest. As long as the Yan army can enter Daolan and the city before it invades, they will be almost invincible.
If the Yan army attacks Handan directly, Zhao Kuo can advance calmly and covertly. When the battle to defend Handan is at its fiercest, he can give the Yan army a severe blow from the rear. Not to mention leaving all the Yan army behind, at least he can Let them retreat in disgrace.
If the Yan army really wants to blockade Yanyu City and capture it first, the Yan army will never be able to capture Yanyu City, which is defended by 30,000 troops. By then, only Handan's soldiers will cut off its retreat and cut off the food road. , the Yan army had to withdraw even if it was not possible.
Of course, what seems to be the safest strategy is actually the most mediocre. It is easy to say that it is easy to send troops to Handan, but if he no longer succeeds in Handan, will King Zhao easily let go of the troops that he finally got?
If Handan refused to send troops, he would have no choice but to mobilize troops from Shangdang County and Hanoi County. Will Qin react in this way?
In short, once your main force appears in Yanyucheng and fights against the main force of the Yan army, it will be tantamount to handing over the initiative on the battlefield. Although this initiative is still in the hands of Zhao State, it is obvious that compared with With the Yan army, this King Zhao may be even more difficult to deal with.
But if they wait in place and miss the best opportunity and let the Yan army enter Yanyucheng first, the situation will take a turn for the worse.
I don’t know where Sun Gu is now! Chen Xun had already set off last night. According to his journey, he should have arrived at Sangqian City this morning. It had already been a day, and Sun Gu didn't know how long it would take to reach the city...
