Sitting in the tent, Lian Po was discussing the war with Zhao Kuo.

Although Zhao Kuo was unwilling, Lian Po still pulled him to sit on the main seat, sat next to Zhao Kuo, and said seriously: "Now that all the outside of the Great Wall have fallen, we don't know anything about the situation of the Qin people, I still don't know where Bai Qi is, of course, he must know where I am." Lian Po looked a little resentful, and he said: "There are too many Qin people's spies, and they can't catch them all!" ”

Listening to Lian Po's complaints, Zhao Kuo didn't say much, just looked at the map in front of him, and said: "Bai Qi wants to break through the Great Wall now, it is definitely not easy to do it, break through Wu'an, attack Handan from the west, or attack Wucheng in the middle of the Great Wall, and finally break through Pingyang, and attack Handan from the east through Ge Xi." Zhao Kuo frowned and asked, "Which offensive direction do you think he is most likely to choose?" ”

Lian Po looked at the map seriously, and said: "Wucheng is very close to the Great Wall, and there are a lot of troops stationed there, while Ge Xi's side is a long way, and Pingyang, and the people are used as horns, if I am Bai Qi, I must attack from Wu'an." ”

"I don't think he's going to attack anything." , Zhao Kuo said calmly: "Now that there is a shortage of grain and grass, the Qin people have come from afar, and it is extremely inconvenient to transport grain and grass through Taihang Mountain, and the consumption of the strong attack is too great, Bai Qi Duan Ran can't afford it, according to Bai Qi's idea, he should lure me into battle, and then surround and annihilate..."

Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Lian Po was a little angry, and he said angrily: "Don't you know, the Qin people have a strange kind of car, which has only one wheel, which transports grain and grass from the mountain road continuously, and does not even need cattle and horses, just a soldier to push it.... If I had known that the Qin people had such a sharp weapon, I would not have suffered such a crushing defeat in Changping! ”

"What did you say?" , Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po blankly.

"I didn't lie to you, there really is a car with wheels, alas ... This Qin people always come up with something unexpected. Lian Po shook his head helplessly. Zhao Kuo was stunned for a long time, and said: "I made this wheelbarrow, but I have only made less than ten of them, and they are all in horse clothes..."

Lian Po glanced at him in surprise, but didn't mention any wheelbarrows, he just pointed to the map and said: "Li Mu guards Wu'an, you come to guard Wucheng, I will guard Pingyang... You're in the center, and you're better at commanding. Lian Po pondered for a moment before he said: "At present, we can only wait for Bai Qi's attack, if he chooses to continue the confrontation, then we must wait until the Wei people come to break the deadlock." ”

Lian Po explained a lot of things to Zhao Kuo, such as grain and grass, the deployment of various places, the situation of the generals, etc., and the two chatted all night, and in the process of their negotiation, the messengers sent from all over the Great Wall were also constantly informing them of the latest battle situation in various places. The next day, just in the early hours of the morning, Lian Po was about to leave, and he did not take away the soldiers or a general, but only his own personal soldiers.

Zhao Kuo led the generals in the army to see him off, early in the morning, it seemed to be colder than the night, standing outside the camp, the soldiers were trembling, only General Lian Po, there was no abnormality, as the oldest of these people, his ability to bear pain was stronger than anyone else, and Zhao Kuo who came to see him off gave a few more commands, Lian Po then rode on a horse and quickly galloped away in the direction of Pingyang.

After bidding farewell to Lian Po, Zhao Kuo turned around, and there were sixteen generals standing in front of him, as well as his henchmen. At this moment, these generals were all standing respectfully in front of Zhao Kuo, and they bowed down to Zhao Kuo and said, "General!" Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Gentlemen, please get up...", hearing Zhao Kuo's words, several generals got up and gathered around Zhao Kuo with a smile.

After Lian Po left, they were no longer as serious as before, scrambling to introduce themselves to Zhao Kuo, and some were asking about the battle with Yan Guo, Zhao Kuo talked to them, and everyone walked towards the camp and entered the main tent, everyone sat on both sides, Zhao Kuo sat on the upper seat, and the guests stayed outside the tent, Zhao Kuo looked at everyone and said seriously: "If Bai Qi knows the news of General Lian Po's departure, he may have to launch an attack on the Great Wall of Zhang." ”

"Therefore, we must not slack off everywhere, and we must strictly guard against the attack of the white rising."

Speaking of Bai Qi, these generals who were originally still elated couldn't laugh in an instant, their faces were full of frustration and uneasiness, and there were also those who were not afraid, just like Sima Shang, who still raised his head high, Zhao Kuo looked at them, and said with a smile: "The Qin people are most afraid of me, now that I have rushed to the Great Wall, I must have scared Bai Qi, with me here, the second and third sons do not have to be afraid of that Bai Qi, but we still have to be on guard, I am afraid that Bai Qi will be frightened and attack the Great Wall of Zhang, wanting to get rid of me." ”

The generals suddenly stood up and said loudly: "We swear to defend the general to the death!" ”

"Okay, my safety is entrusted to my second and third sons... Since I arrived here, the Qin people won't be able to hold out for long, the Wei State and the Chu State have already decided to send reinforcements, and when the millions of coalition troops besiege from all sides, the Qin people will not be able to resist no matter what, please rest assured! ”

"Yui!" 52

The good news brought by Zhao Kuo did make the generals temporarily put aside their fear of Bai Qi, and watched the atmosphere become active again, Zhao Kuo even told them a few jokes, Sima Shang looked around happily, smirked, I don't know how long, there has been no such smile in the tent, such laughter, sure enough, as soon as General Zhao Kuo came, victory also came with it.

The generals couldn't stay here for too long, they all had their own defensive areas, and Zhao Kuo didn't leave them for too long, just told them to be more careful, and let them go back, only Sima Shang stayed, because this is Sima Shang's defense area. Realizing that he could stay with Zhao Kuo all the time, Sima Shang was smirking all day long, and with the return of these generals, the words that Zhao Kuo said also spread to all places.

The worried Zhao people, just one day, found the backbone, when they braved the cold wind, sang Zhao songs on the Great Wall, clapped their hands, and danced, the Qin people who were staring at them from a distance were stunned, what is the situation??

Ma Fujun's banner fluttered on the Great Wall, and in the evening, Sima Shang specially prepared a very sumptuous meal for Zhao Kuo.

It's just that when he sent these meals to Zhao Kuo's main account, Zhao Kuo didn't eat them, he looked at the beef, mutton, and soup in front of him, and asked with a smile: "How can the food in this army be more sumptuous than the banquet of the nobles in Handan City?" Sima Shang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is what I specially prepared for you..."

"Shang, I am very grateful to you for preparing such a sumptuous meal for me, but I can't eat it, I have heard that generals like Sun and Wu are willing to fight with them because they can eat and live with their soldiers, and I don't have their talents, but I can learn from their virtues. I can't watch the soldiers starving and eating and drinking in the main tent. ”

Zhao Kuo said, patted Sima Shang on the shoulder, and walked out of the main tent.

In the camp, the soldiers gathered together, around the bonfire, eating bread in their hands, the people of this era, the general name of pasta is cake, and there is no such elaboration as in later generations, that is, the dough is kneaded together, it can be steamed and eaten, it can also be baked and eaten, of course, in the march, it is to be baked and eaten. The soldiers sat together, listening to the captain boast about his past experiences.

"That battle, I just looked at that Qin man, the Qin man can distinguish his title from the crown of his head, I see that the crown of that person is very high, I know, this is a general, I pulled the bow and shot at that time, and the guy fell headlong..."

"Have you seen what his crown looks like?"

"It's higher than the crown of those nobles in Handan, by the way, it's a little bent... What do you ask this for... You again..", Wu Chang said, turned his head and looked, he was stunned, who is this, he thought for a moment, was shocked, hurriedly jumped up, and shouted: "Ma Fujun! Hearing his shout, several soldiers around him also stood up suddenly, and the noise in the distance stopped abruptly, and the soldiers quieted down and looked at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo smiled and motioned for the chief to sit down, and then said: "According to what you said, you should have shot an official doctor, it's terrible, if this person is in the army, how can he also be a lieutenant or something." ”

"General.. I.."

"The second and third sons sit down! It's okay, I'm just hungry, come out for a meal! Zhao Kuo smiled and beckoned, a few soldiers around him slowly sat down, lowered their heads, but did not dare to speak, Zhao Kuo picked up a scone, Zhao Kuo took a bite, almost broke his teeth, the captain on the side looked at him, and said in a low voice: "This cake is too hard, you need to soak in the soup for a while before you can eat it." ”

Because there is no fermentation technology, the pasta is very hard and difficult to chew, and it has to be soaked in soup, Wu Chang took out a soaked scone, Zhao Kuo took a bite, and then said with a smile: "It's not bad." ”

He took another bite and suddenly understood something.

I'm eating mutton steamed buns??
