Chapter 33: Gloomy
The news that Zhao Kuo was appointed as the commander of the Shangdang Zhao Army and that the veteran Lian Po was removed was immediately transmitted back to his country by the envoys and spies of various countries stationed in Zhao as quickly as possible.
On the ninth day of July, Xiangping City Junhou Mansion, Secretary Pavilion.
Ji Kang took the secret letter from the director of the Intelligence Bureau, Huang Yong. After reading it carefully, he sighed, and said something that Huang Yong didn't understand: "It's time to come or come." ”
Standing up, Ji Kang walked to the door of the secretary's pavilion, looked at the scorching sun outside, and said nothing.
In Ji Kang's view, Zhao Kuo, who is now appointed by Zhao Wangdan as the head coach of the party, is not the kind of person who does not learn and has no skills. It's just that Zhao Kuo lacks the experience of fighting in the big war, although the theory is very perfect, but he doesn't know how to apply it flexibly to practice.
According to the law of Ji Kang's previous life, Zhao Kuo is like a fresh and talented student, talented but incompetent, with high scores but incompetent. If such a person is tutored and imparted experience, he will certainly be able to make great achievements, but it would be too rash to expect such a person to be able to independently support the great cause of the country.
After a while, Ji Kang turned to Huang Yong and said, "Closely let Xianyang my intelligence personnel, pay attention to whether Bai Qi, the general of the Qin State, has rushed to the party?" Ordered the Shangdang area and the Shangdang area Zhao Junzhong, and all the intelligence personnel in our Liaodi to evacuate. ”
Huang Yong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to Ji Kang: "Son, I can't help it!" I am in Shangdang and Zhao Jun, and it is not easy to place these intelligence officers! Two of them are still school captains! ”
Ji Kang shook his head, not wanting to explain so much. In an unquestionable tone, he said to Huang Yong: "Execute the order." Remember, our intelligence personnel in the Shangdang and in the Shangdang Zhao Army should immediately evacuate as soon as possible, leaving no one behind. After withdrawing, arrange it elsewhere! ”
Seeing this, Huang Yong said helplessly: "No." ”
After Huang Yong left, Ji Kang walked to the chair, took a sip of water, and said softly to himself: "My uncle in this life, I really don't know what you think?" In vain, I helped you so much Zhao Guo! You are not particularly short of food, grass and military funds now, why don't you go to the party to fight against the Qin army? ”
pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The inertia of history seems to be still so strong!" In the future, I will be more careful and cautious, and I will also speed up the development of Liaodi. ”
Then, he said to the attendant beside him: "Give the drama minister an order, and order the Prime Minister's Mansion to send additional personnel to Zhao State to be responsible for the migration." It is important to end the work of migrating people from Zhao by the end of August. ”
July 12, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, the royal palace.
After looking at the news that Lian Po, the head coach of the Zhao Army, was removed from Handan, the capital of Zhao State. Later, he received a secret letter from Lou Chang, the eldest husband of Zhao, in which he gave a detailed explanation of Zhao Kuo's intentions to fight, the new coach of the Zhao army.
Seeing the news from Lou Chang and the secret agents, Qin Wang Yingji laughed loudly.
Seeing that their own king was so happy, Qin Xiang Fan Sui and the general Bai Qi couldn't hold back their excitement and laughed together.
King Qin smiled, and said to Fan Sui and Bai Qi: "This Zhao Dan'er is being led by my Qin State everywhere. If I, Qin Jun, am in the party this time, and I can't defeat Zhao Jun, I really don't care! ”
Then he looked at General Bai Qi and said, "General Bai Qi, how are you doing in good health?" ”
Bai Qi stood up, bowed down to King Qin Yingji and said, "King, Weichen is in good health, and he is ready to be sent by the king at any time." ”
Yingji nodded and said to Bai Qi: "General Bai Qi, since you are in good health, go to the front line of the party!" ”
At this time, Qin Xiang Fan Sui hurriedly smiled and said to King Qin: "Your Majesty, you can let General Bai Qi secretly go to Shangdang, and order all the officers and soldiers of our Qin army in Shangdang not to leak the news that General Bai Qi has arrived at the front line." In this way, we can give the party Zhao Jun a fatal blow! ”
After hearing this, King Qin smiled and said to Fan Sui: "Xiangguo's words are in line with the meaning of the widow. ”
Yingji stood up and said slowly to the attendant beside him: "Come here, spread the will of the widow, and appoint the general Bai Qi as the commander of our Qin army in the Shangdang region, and Wang Ji as his deputy general." After General Bai Qi arrived at the front line of Shangdang, he ordered all the officers and men of our Qin army not to leak the news of General Bai Qi's arrival. If you don't, you will be punished. ”
Then, King Qin looked at the general Bai Qi and said solemnly to him: "General Bai Qi, you can secretly go to Shangdang in advance, and then send another 100,000 troops to reinforce Shangdang." The war of the Shangdang will be handed over to you, and the widow and Xiangguo Fan Sui will also go to Yiyang in person to be the backing of you and my Shangdang army, I hope you will not live up to the expectations of the widow! ”
At this point, he slowly walked down from the main seat, came to Bai Qi and said: "General Bai Qi, this war between Qin and Zhao is related to the national fortune of my Qin State. The widow will do everything I can to support you. You just have to be on the front line of the party and command my Qin army to fight against the Zhao army. ”
Bai Qi knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister will live up to the king's trust and will defeat the Zhao army." ”
King Qin nodded again, bowed to Bai Qi, and said to Bai Qi: "General Bai Qi, go, hurry to Shangdang as soon as possible, the widow can't wait." ”
Bai Qi stood up, bowed to Yingji and said, "No." ”
Then he turned and walked out of the temple.
The news of King Zhao's appointment of Zhao Kuo as the commander of the Shangdang Zhao Army reached the Shangdang. For a time, the entire Zhao army was panicked, and many Zhao army generals such as Wang Rong, Tie Leopard, and Su Shu, as well as Feng Ting, the commander of Shangdang County, all came to Lian Po's residence in Hyun City and met Lian Po.
Lian Po, who was already in his early sixties, sat in the hall, looked at the generals under the hall, and reprimanded: "Now that my army is still fighting with the Qin army, what are you running to me for?" Give me all back. ”
Seeing that all the generals of the Zhao army were full of anger, he said slowly: "No matter who is the commander of my Zhao army, they all want to defeat the Qin army and protect my Zhao country." Now that the enemy is present, you should not have any prejudices. The old man hopes that after General Zhao Kuo arrives, you can follow his orders and fight bravely."
Then, after a long sigh, he said to the generals: "The old man wants to be alone and quiet now, and he doesn't want to listen to anyone. If you still recognize me as the main general, go back and lead the troops. Now there can be no accidents, so that the Qin army can take advantage of the loophole. ”
After listening to the words of the veteran Lian Po, the generals all felt helpless, and bowed down together and said, "No." ”
After waiting for the generals to walk out of Lian Po's residence, Lian Po sighed, and a line of old tears hung on his face.
On July 17, Zhao Kuo arrived at Shangdang Hyun with 50,000 troops and officially took over the Shangdang Zhao army.
After Lian Po handed over the tiger talisman and the handsome seal to Zhao Kuo, he looked at Zhao Kuo's young face and was full of emotion. But he was relieved that he couldn't get down to the party's battle situation, so he instructed Zhao Kuo and said: "General Zhao Kuo, the Qin army is rushing for thousands of miles, and the advantage is to fight quickly, our army should focus on defense, and we must not rush to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army!" ”
Zhao Kuo smiled coldly and said, "Old general, the king ordered you to rush back to Handan as soon as possible." In the party's war, Kuo has already advocated it, so there is no need for the old general to worry about it. ”
Lian Po listened to it and was completely disheartened. After completing the handover with Zhao Kuo, he did not say goodbye to anyone, and he left Shangdang with more than a dozen generals and guards, and rushed back to Handan.
In the past three years of being in the party, Lian Po has shared weal and woe with the soldiers and the people.
Especially in the past three years of Shangdang, Lian quite understood the specific terrain of Shangdang, and almost all the counties and checkpoints of Shangdang, led the Zhao army, and completely blocked the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qin State to the west of the Lishui River, so that the Qin army could not advance an inch. It also exempted many people in Shangdang from the suffering of soldiers, and won the support and love of Zhao Jun and the people of Shangdang.
Passing by a village, the people knelt down. Lian Po found that he was still wearing a handsome helmet, armor, and combat boots, and felt that he had resigned from his post and had no need to wear them, so he took off these three things here, and the local people remembered this incident, and then named this village Sanjia Village.
On the way back to Handan, the more Lian Po thought about it, the more he walked, the more uneasy he became, and after walking to a village, he dismounted and hesitated.
After half a ring, Lian Po said to Lian Feng, the commander of the family who accompanied him: "Lian Feng, you, did the old man stay to assist General Zhao Kuo?" Zaidang continued to fight against the Qin army. ”
Lian Feng knew that his master was uncomfortable, so he stepped forward to comfort Lian Po and said, "General, don't do it!" Now the king has ordered you to step back to Handan as soon as possible after you have resigned. If we stay in the party, I'm afraid we will really implement the rumors that you are in power in the stack. ”
"General, don't be sad, now that you have resigned, you don't need to worry about the war of the party. We haven't been home for three years, so it's okay that we can go home now and be reunited with our families as soon as possible. ”
Lian Po shook his head and said to Lian Feng: "The reason why the old man is hesitating here and lingering is considering whether to stay and assist Zhao Kuo?" I'm really not thinking about myself, but I'm worried about the party, the hundreds of thousands of troops of my Zhao State, and the many people of Zhao State! ”
"The old man Guan Zhao Kuo is arrogant and arrogant, and he is paralyzed by the enemy, and if he attacks rashly, he will suffer a heavy defeat. Actually, I think the same as you, I have already resigned, so I might as well go home and reunite with my family. ”
At this point, he sighed and continued to say with a long sigh: "But the Changping War is not a child's play, and the army of more than 400,000 is the vitality of my Zhao State...... As soon as the old man left like this, if it was true, my Zhao army suffered a fiasco. The old man is sorry for the first king, sorry for the hundreds of thousands of troops, and the people of Shangdang who kept me! ”
At this moment, I saw an attendant with a few attendants riding towards Lian Po's team.
This attendant came to Lian Po and shouted: "The king's edict orders the general Lian Po to rush back to Handan as soon as possible." ”
After Lian Po received the edict, he sighed, and then he broke off the thoughts he had left, and got on the horse to lead Lian Feng and others to leave. Since then, the local people have called this village Wandering Village.
Although the edict was issued and the intention of going was decided, the people along the way still blocked the road and begged.
Why can the people recognize him, in addition to Lian Po's white hair and white beard, the most remarkable thing is the tall and snow-white Jade Rabbit BMW he is riding. In order to get out of the predicament, Lian Po reluctantly replaced his BMW horse when he passed through a village. Since then, the local people have called this village Changma Village.
