Chapter 27: Unexpected Visitors
The next few days passed very calmly, and the Qin army, which had to come over every three or five days to provoke the Zhao army a few times, died down, as if the two sides had signed an armistice agreement, and spent this time quietly.
Zhao Kuo also stood calmly in front of the map hanging in his Chinese army's tent every day, thinking about the future direction of this war.
After all, his opposite is the famous "God of Killing" Bai Qi, and if there is a slight difference, it will be a situation where all the games are lost. Zhao Guo behind him must not bear this kind of failure, and the war he participated in is a gamble for Zhao Guo that can only succeed and cannot fail.
This put Zhao Kuo under great pressure, on the one hand, it was the earnest expectation of the whole country of Zhao Guo, and on the other hand, it was the more than 400,000 Zhao Guoerlang under his hands.
As a later generation who has traveled to this era, he knows very well the final outcome of himself and these 400,000 sons. No matter how merciful he was to take charge of the troops, Zhao Kuo could not tolerate Bai Qikeng's move of killing 400,000 soldiers.
In order for these good sons of Zhao to survive successfully, neither Bai Qi nor Wang Yi could prevent themselves from winning the victory in a normal war.
The more than 300,000 troops stationed in Danzhuling also resumed their normal life, and Zhao Kuo finally chose to follow Wei Chen's advice, except for the pro-guard army under his command, the rest stopped their daily training.
In this way, the dark tide that had surged among the soldiers dissipated without a trace, and some private actions became meaningless and died down.
From the day the order was reissued, Zhao Kuo's control of his subordinate troops was completely completed, and no one could shake Zhao Kuo's prestige in the army.
Every time he walked into the camp tent and saw the slightly reverent expression of Zhao Guo's soldiers, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but think in his heart, if he guarded the place of Danzhuling for a few months, I am afraid that Zhao Xiaocheng's tiger talisman would not play its due role.
Just when Zhao Kuo was trying to think about strategies in the camp, an unexpected guest quietly came to the residence of Zhao Guo in Danzhuling.
When he heard the sound of the Chinese army arguing with others outside the big tent, he unconsciously frowned. In the entire Danzhuling garrison, who didn't know that Teng was his own personal guard, and someone dared to quarrel with him.
Zhao Kuo's curiosity was also aroused when he thought of this, he packed up his mind and walked out to see who dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head.
Who knew that the person in front of him completely suppressed Zhao Kuo, even if he hadn't seen anyone after crossing over, but his memory was obviously telling him that the person who came was Zhao Sheng, one of the four gentlemen of the Warring States in the later generations.
"Your Majesty, why did you come here in person?" After being surprised, Zhao Kuo hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, the person opposite was Zhao Xiaocheng's uncle, the real real power figure of Zhao State.
"Hehe, seeing General Zhao's side, it is really difficult to reach the sky, I didn't expect that I would be blocked at the door of General Zhao's Chinese army's big tent, it's really a good means!" Plain Jun Zhao Sheng's face sank like water, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry now.
Zhao Kuo glanced at Teng Ke, and this fool caused trouble for himself again: "Your Excellency is angry, I am studying the strategy that the Qin army may initiate, and I really can't afford to be disturbed." ”
Zhao Sheng just nodded, motioned to his subordinates to push Teng aside and walked into the Chinese army's tent by himself.
Zhao Kuo saw that Teng was still ready to make a move at this time, and hurriedly stopped this fool: "Okay, you just stay here, no one can come in this time, understand?" ”
"No!"
After Zhao Kuo stopped Fuji, he hurriedly walked into the big tent of the Chinese army. Zhao Sheng heard his footsteps, pointed to the map that had been sketched and said, "General Zhao, this is what you have been studying recently?" ”
"That's true, I was entrusted by the king with the important task of serving as the chief general of the Battle of Changping, and I dare not forget the responsibility on my body at any time, if I am really defeated here, Zhao Guo may be in danger!"
Zhao Sheng nodded, but did not sit on the main seat in the tent, but found a random seat to sit down. Looking at Zhao Sheng, who was sitting there silently, Zhao Kuo stubbornly asked, "I don't know what the king is here from Handan, what is the so-called matter?" ”
"Does General Zhao remember how the king instructed the general before leaving? General Zhao, as the son of Ma Fujun, is so afraid of the Qin army opposite, I am afraid that he will lose the prestige accumulated by Ma Fujun! ”
When Zhao Kuo heard Pingyuan Jun's words, his heart was also determined. The other party really came to Xingshi on behalf of King Zhao Xiaocheng to ask about the crime, but he didn't know what King Zhao Xiaocheng was going to do.
"Your Majesty, if it weren't for Zhao's fear of fighting, there would have been variables in the Qin army on the other side. As soon as this variable comes out, even if my father is alive, he will choose to avoid it for the time being! Zhao Kuo didn't sit on his own main seat, he chose to sit opposite Zhao Sheng, and said calmly.
Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Sheng immediately realized something, and a trace of horror appeared on his calm face: "Wu Anjun is white on the battlefield of Changping?" ”
The other party is really an old fox who has been immersed in politics for many years, and he was noticed by the other party just after revealing a hint of tone. Zhao Kuo did not deny it, and said bluntly: "The king also knows the prestige of Wu Anjun Baiqi, since the other party has come to the opposite side of Zhao, if I attack rashly, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
Zhao Sheng looked at Zhao Kuo, who decisively admitted, and closed his eyes: "But the fine work in the Qin State has never reported this, is it that General Zhao is a little worried?" ”
Zhao Kuo pointed to the military map hanging in the rear, and said firmly: "Since Bai Qi came secretly, how could he easily let people know. You must know that this war, whether it is our Zhao State or their Qin State, is a war that they can't afford to lose, how can they let their strongest general sit back and watch? ”
Zhao Kuo's rhetorical question made Zhao Sheng a little speechless, when King Zhao Xiaocheng chose to accept Shangdang County, he was persuaded by himself. At that time, he also concluded that the Qin State was definitely the strongest Wu Anjun Bai Qi of the Qin State, who knew that the Qin State would actually send his own Zuo Chang Wang Di, which also laid the groundwork for the change of generals for King Zhao Xiaocheng.
At this time, when he heard that the enemy of Zhao State had been replaced by Wu Anjun Bai Qi, he had no idea of asking for guilt, and was already thinking about how to make peace with Qin State.
Under the horror, no one could maintain their facial expressions perfectly, and Zhao Kuo easily read the idea he wanted to make peace from Zhao Sheng's face: "Your Excellency, it is absolutely impossible to make peace with Qin State at this time, Zhao Mou advised your lord to die of this heart!" ”
