"How long have I been unconscious?"
These were the first words of the old general Lian Po after he woke up.
Before the military doctor beside him could speak, the old general continued to ask: "Where is the Qin army?"
At this time, the deputy general and a group of generals hurriedly rushed to the Chinese army tent.
"Old General."
"Old General!"
A cordial call immediately sounded in the tent.
The old general, who had just woken up and didn't have much energy, could only nod slightly to greet everyone.
Although it was just a slight nod of greeting, it was already great news for all Zhao Jun generals.
The old general is there, their backbone is there, even if the old general is still on the sickbed.
Taking advantage of the interval when the old general was greeting the generals, the military doctor standing by also informed the deputy general who had come to the old general's side of the old general's two problems.
Although he knew that the old general's health should not be worried about, facing the pressure of the Qin army, the deputy general was really unsure, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the truth to the old general.
"Old General." The deputy general also quickly replied to the old general: "You have been unconscious for eight hours, and it is now the Youshi hour of the second day. The Qin State's army, about 200,000 strong, has crossed the barrier and has been fighting for several times. The city is approaching Xinzheng. It is expected to arrive at the outskirts of Xinzheng as soon as tomorrow night."
Hearing this, Old General Lian Po was not surprised. Taking advantage of his opponent's illness and killing him, this is the speed his old rival should have.
"Help me up." After pondering for a while, the old general immediately ordered.
"Yes." The deputy general agreed immediately.
The military doctor next to him immediately assisted the deputy general in helping the old general up.
"Has my injury been reported to my king?" the old general asked immediately after sitting down.
"After the general returned last night, he sent a pigeon to send a message to my king." The deputy general also immediately replied.
Hearing this, the old general also breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to ask: "Does the whole army know the news that I am seriously injured?"
"Yes." The deputy general said helplessly: "The final general is incompetent. But fortunately, it did not cause the camp to roar, but the morale was slightly low."
Lian Po nodded slightly, knowing that this was inevitable. After all, I woke up a little too late.
It was really difficult for the lieutenant general to keep it a secret from the army for a whole day.
Now that it has had an impact on morale, Lian Po must bring it back while he still has breath.
There is no other way. Against the Qin army, my own strength is slightly weaker. If the morale is even worse, the city of Xinzheng may be really difficult to defend. .Ь.
Taking a long breath, Lian Po immediately said: "Beat the drum, gather the generals, and raise the tent."
Of course the lieutenant general understood that the old general wanted to announce his return to the entire army by raising his account, thereby boosting the morale of the army that was a little sluggish due to the old general's injury.
Without the slightest hesitation, the deputy general also accepted the order and said: "Yes."
Turning around, the deputy general immediately announced to the generals: "The general has an order: beat the drum, gather the generals, and raise the tent."
After the words fell, all the generals in the tent were also happy, and then they bowed and agreed: "Yes."
Obviously, in everyone's eyes, since the old general can raise his account, there will be no serious problems.
However, no one saw that the old military doctor behind the old general was frowning, and the old general Lian Po just sat up, with a trace of sweat breaking out on his head.
In any case, the old general's order had been issued, and the generals immediately exited the inner tent, and then came to the outer tent and stood in order, waiting for the arrival of other generals.
But after the generals withdrew, Old General Lian Po immediately grabbed the deputy general's hand and said, "Fei Ge immediately sends a message to my king."
"Yes." His deputy immediately agreed.
"Please ask me, the king, to quickly send Li Mu to take over Xinzheng." Lian Po then continued to add.
After hearing the instructions from the old general Lian Po,
The deputy general was stunned on the spot.
Obviously, the lieutenant general who had just heard the message from the old general Lian Po Fei Ge only thought that the old general wanted him to tell the king that he was no longer in serious trouble.
But as soon as the second half of the old general's words came out, the deputy general immediately felt something was wrong.
Under what circumstances would Old General Lian Po ask the king to send a general to take over the army?
Only in one situation, when the old general is no longer able to command the battle, will he make such a decision. In other words, although the old general woke up, he...
Involuntarily, the deputy general looked at the old military doctor beside him.
But I don't know when, the old military doctor's slightly cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
Everything has been left unsaid. Xiu Shuzhu
Immediately, a deep sadness suddenly hit the lieutenant's heart.
Before the deputy general could shed tears, the calm voice of the old general Lian Po rang out: "It's okay, I can still persist, the army still needs me!"
After breathing slightly for a while, the old general continued: "Do what you should do."
Of course the deputy general understood that the old general wanted to use his last life to ensure the safety of the army.
Immediately, the deputy general who understood the old general's wish quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, bowed deeply to the old general with his hands clasped in fists, and then agreed: "Yes."
After saying this, the deputy general turned around and walked towards the outside of the tent.
As the deputy general left, the sonorous drum beat outside the tent finally sounded.
It is not common to gather generals and drums near dusk, but all the generals of the Zhao army look forward to it like rain after a long drought.
Hearing the beating of drums, the generals also completed their military affairs one after another, and then galloped towards the central military tent.
Before the two drums were finished, all the generals had arrived.
Old General Lian Po also sat on the main seat with the support of the military doctor. However, due to the decline in strength, Old General Lian Po could only close his eyes and rest.
Of course, although the tent was still silent at this time, it did not have the chilling feeling of last night. It was not difficult to see the joy in their hearts just from the faces of the generals.
However, no one knew what kind of pain Lian Po, who was sitting on the throne, was experiencing.
Bursts of tearing pain in his chest and back kept tearing at his old nerves, and a devilish voice kept whispering in his ears: "Sleep, the pain won't hurt anymore if you sleep. It’s comfortable when you get off it.”
But Lian Po knew that he couldn't sleep, at least not until Li Mu arrived.
Because once he fell asleep, he didn't know when he would wake up again.
The three-way drum was finally beaten, and the deputy general had already released the homing pigeon back to the central military tent in time.
As the drums gradually stopped, the deputy general was about to step forward to remind General Lian Po, but he saw that the old general suddenly opened his tiger eyes as if it were wound up.
"I have met the general." The deputy general immediately led the generals to greet General Lian Po.
"No." A slightly weak voice came out of Lian Po's mouth immediately.
The generals didn't take it seriously. After all, everyone knew that the old general was injured, and it was normal for his voice to be short of breath.
In everyone's opinion, as long as the old general can wake up, the subsequent flesh and skin injuries will be cured. It is nothing more than the difference between faster and slower.
However, everyone seems to have forgotten that their general Lian Po is an old man who is over seventy years old! With just the word "free", General Lian Po had already used up most of the energy he had finally accumulated.
Immediately, the generals who knew nothing about it also stood up suddenly.
"General, would you like to press the button?" the deputy general immediately stepped forward and asked.
"No need." Lian Po waved his hand slightly, and then his sharp eyes swept over the generals in the field one by one, as if he wanted to carve the faces of everyone present into his mind.
Of course, during this sweep, Lian Po was finally ready again for his next words.
"Call
Gather everyone. Lian Po straightened his back slightly, trying to look as confident as possible: "Tell everyone, I, Lian Po, am still here!"
In order to make his words not sound so weird, Lian Po could only say two words. Even so, this short sentence almost exhausted the energy of the old general Lian Po.
Gritting his teeth, Lian Po continued: "Now that the Qin army has arrived, you all should do your duty!"
The deputy general standing at the front had clearly sensed the chaos in the aura of Old General Lian Po. When he took the lead, he clasped his hands and replied, "The last general takes orders."
As the deputy general took the lead, the generals behind him also clasped their fists and replied: "The last general takes orders."
With the cooperation of the deputy general, General Lian Po also breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his right hand with difficulty, waved it, and said: "Dismissal!".Ь.
"Yes." He was still the deputy general, and he agreed quickly with quick eyes and hands.
When the generals saw this, they were a little surprised, but they all agreed: "Yes."
Immediately, a military discussion that was not a military discussion came to an abrupt end with these two or three responses.
Although some smart people inevitably discovered abnormalities from this hasty military meeting, at least through this military meeting, or in other words, the meeting, the news that the old general Lian Po was still alive was spread.
This is very important to Zhao Jun today.
As for those smart people who discovered the anomaly, since they are smart people, of course they also know what to say and what not to say.
It was obvious that Lian Po had achieved the results he wanted.
However, Lian Po also knew that this alone was not enough to face the Qin army's upcoming attack.
Once the war becomes urgent, those smart people who discover anomalies may not come up with inappropriate ideas.
If you want to put an end to this idea, the only way to cure the root cause is to ask King Zhao to arrange a new general as soon as possible. And before the new general arrives, the only way to cure the symptoms is to Lian Po.
"At the south gate, arrange seats on the city tower." After the generals left, Lian Po endured the severe pain and continued to give instructions.
Yes, General Lian Po will go to the tower in person.
As long as Lian Po is in charge, even just sitting there, all evil thoughts have been suppressed.
At this time, the Qin army was already rushing to Xinzheng day and night.
Of course, at the same time, Zhao Kuo in Handan City had also received a letter from Xinzheng...
