Chapter 86: The Book of War, a Surprise for King Zhao
The general's voice fell, no less than a nuclear bomb detonated in the main hall, and everyone present was stunned. They looked at the general in disbelief, and there was no other expression on their faces except for the look of bewilderment.
Lian Po!
Instead of leading more than 200,000 troops and the Wei army to garrison the north bank of the Yellow River, how could he appear in the Han army under the city?
Could it be that something happened to the front-line army, so Lian Po surrendered the Korean army!
When everyone thought of this, their faces couldn't help but turn pale, and their eyes were full of fear and uneasiness.
If the front-line army is defeated, Handan City will really be in some danger. Now there are less than 80,000 defenders in the city, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of Korean troops, the other party also has Lian Po, who is familiar with the defense of Handan, to help, that.
King Zhao's face was full of distraction, he looked at the generals below in a daze, his face twitched slightly, and he muttered: "How is it possible, how can the hundreds of thousands of troops of the widow be so gone?" ”
Prime Minister Zhao was the first to come back to his senses and glanced at everyone's shocked looks.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "King, if this matter is true, there should be something wrong with the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. However, the king can rest assured, although there have been changes on the front line, the chances of the Korean army winning are still not high.
In half a month at most, the army of Chu will rush to Dingtao. We only need to send a man who can speak well, and we will definitely allow the state of Chu to send troops to attack the state of Wei. When the time comes, there will be an accident on the eastern front of the Wei State, and the Han army under the city will inevitably be unstable and can only retreat.
It's just for the safety of the king, or should immediately summon Li Mu to lead the northern elite south. ”
When the ministers heard Xiangguo's words, they came back to their senses one after another. They wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and hurriedly said one by one.
"What Sangkoku-sama said is reasonable. The Han army faced the threat of Chu in the east, and the frenzied retaliation of Qin in the west. At this time, his army of 200,000 rushed in, although it was somewhat unexpected, but it must not last long. ”
"According to the minister's opinion, in less than a month, the Korean army will inevitably leave."
"When Chen just observed the Han army under the city, he found that the Han army did not carry siege equipment. Therefore, according to the minister's opinion, the purpose of the Han army's sudden attack on Handan is not to attack Handan, but to warn our Zhao State. ”
King Zhao finally came back to his senses when he heard everyone's words. His face improved slightly, the horror in his eyes dissipated a lot, but his heart became more and more angry and resentful.
King Zhao took a deep breath and said coldly: "Order, immediately arrest the family of the traitor Lian Po, and no one shall be let go." The widow will sacrifice the banner with the blood of his whole family. ”
When the ministers heard this, they were silent.
No matter how much Lian Po contributed in the past, now that hundreds of thousands of troops have been overturned, he has even surrendered to South Korea, even if the whole family is beheaded.
At this moment, a hurried report suddenly came from outside the main hall: "Report, the Korean envoy asks to see you." ”
Korean emissaries?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at King Zhao, whose face was extremely cold, and hurriedly lowered his head.
A quarter of an hour later, the main hall of the palace of King Zhao.
Zhang Liang was dressed in a luxurious pale cyan robe, his handsome face was a little less immature than before, and a little more mature and vicissitudes, and he looked like a peerless young man.
King Zhao looked at Zhang Liang, a flash of appreciation flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Who is there below, maybe you don't even know diplomatic etiquette." Judging from the widows, there is really no one in South Korea, and it is ridiculous to send such hairy boys here. ”
Zhang Liang's handsome face always had a gentle smile on it, and he was not moved by King Zhao's ridicule in the slightest.
He stood proudly and chuckled: "Zhang Liang is not talented, he is an ordinary official in South Korea. But it was precisely because Zhang Liangwei was humble that he was sent to Zhao as an envoy. For a strong country, it is natural to need old and serious people to send envoys. But for a weak country, if it sends shrewd and strong people, wouldn't it seem that our country is bullying the small with the big? ”
When King Zhao heard this, his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy and ugly.
He ridiculed the other party, but was taken advantage of by others to be sarcastic. This child seems to be young, but he is really a clever person.
Zhang Liang ignored King Zhao's gloomy face and continued: "As for diplomatic etiquette, please forgive King Zhao. Zhang Liang worships his parents, worships the king, and worships the sages. But as an envoy of Korea, there are three kinds of kings who do not worship. The king of the mediocre and unscrupulous does not worship, the king of the dead country does not worship, and the king of the weak country does not worship. ”
The faces of the ministers of Zhao State in the main hall changed wildly, and they all glared at Zhang Liang, who looked indifferent, and shouted angrily.
"Presumptuous, ignorant child, even speaking wild words."
"It's ridiculous and sad that South Korea sent such ignorant children here."
"Great King, please push this person out and behead it to show the public, so as to show the majesty of my Zhao Kingdom."
King Zhao listened to everyone's words and looked at Zhang Liang's expression uncertainly. He waved his hand, stopped the noise of everyone, and looked at Zhang Liang coldly: "Okay, you are still the first person who dares to talk to a widow like this in the palace." It's just that if you can't give an explanation to the widow today, then don't blame the widow's long knife for being ruthless. ”
Zhang Liang's expression was indifferent, with a look of putting life and death out of the way, and said calmly: "General Lian Po led an army of 200,000 to sit in the south, but the king sent Le Cheng to seize the commander when he was about to fight, and even wanted to remove General Lian Po. If it weren't for the Lord of Decadence, how could he do such a stupid thing.
Now that the 100,000 elite cavalry of the Hu people in the north have invaded the border of Zhao, and the hundreds of thousands of troops on the southern front have been wiped out, Zhao's survival has reached a critical juncture. If the king ends up in such a situation, can he be regarded as the king of the dead country.
Our generals started with 60,000 elite soldiers, defeated the millions of troops of Qin, Wei and Zhao in just over a month, and destroyed the national glory of Wei for hundreds of years. Now General Mo has more than 700,000 troops, and his fierce generals are like clouds, opening up thousands of miles of territory for South Korea. How can the scene of Zhao Guo at this time be compared with it. This is not the king of a weak country. ”
King Zhao's face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes flashed with terrifying murderous intent when he looked at Zhang Liang. He pressed his hands tightly on the low table, and his finger bones turned white from too much force.
This person can be angry and killed!
King Zhao took a deep breath, barely calmed down the murderous intent in his heart, and said with an endless chill in his voice: "You, aren't you afraid that the widow will kill you." ”
Zhang Liang put one hand behind him and the other in front of him, looked around with a proud face, and said disdainfully: "Zhang Liang is just a nobody, why pity this useless body." If the king killed Zhang, wouldn't it verify that what Zhang said was true.
This time, Zhang came to issue a war letter to King Zhao for the general.
The general heard that Zhao Guo had many brave men, so he wanted to use 500 people against 1,000 Zhao troops, so that the world could understand what a real brave man was. If the Zhao army can win this battle, then our army will withdraw from the territory of Zhao and will not fight each other for three years. If the Zhao army loses this battle, please also hand over the families of General Lian Po and others. ”
King Zhao's expression was gloomy, a strange color flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he waved his hand: "Guards, take the envoy down to rest first, and the widow wants to discuss it with the ministers." ”
When Zhang Liang was taken away from the main hall, King Zhao's expression calmed down, and he said calmly: "What do you think Aiqing should do?" ”
The ministers' faces were full of contemplation, and none of them took the lead in speaking.
Xiangguo pondered for two breaths, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed down and said, "King, the initiative in this battle is already under our control, why should we refuse." Since the other party proposed to ask for the family of Lian Po and others, the purpose is obvious. Why don't we take the opportunity to find out the list of mutinous generals and make a better arrangement. ”
"Xiangguo's words are very good, if our army can win this battle, we can easily retreat the 200,000 troops and solve the crisis in Handan City. Even if this battle was lost, the families of those generals were all in the hands of the king, and they were not at the disposal of the king. ”
"Yes, if the king shows a little favor, he can't say that he can still make them rebel against the Han army. At that time, if we are flanked from inside and outside, the ROK army will inevitably be defeated. ”
"Haha, I never thought that the generals of the Korean army would be so stupid and send such important hostages to the king with their own hands, it is really heaven to help the king achieve hegemony."
King Zhao listened to the advice of the ministers, a smile appeared on his face, and a terrifying murderous intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Thief, the widow will prepare a great gift for you!
Handan City, a tent a few miles away.
Lin'er knelt beside Mo Chen, looked at Mo Chen with a leisurely expression, and said in a low voice: "The general thinks that King Zhao will keep his promise?" ”
Mo Chen's face showed a hint of playfulness, and he chuckled: "Unless King Zhao is stupid, he will really keep this promise." When the time comes, he will definitely take the opportunity to blackmail, and even do it to the families of the generals. ”
When Lin'er heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Since the general knows, why.
Don't!
Mo Chen took a sip of tea, looked out of the big tent with deep eyes, and said softly: "If you don't break their last luck, how can you let them serve this general completely." As for the agreement with King Zhao, it was just a joke.
This time, General Ben had prepared a special surprise for King Zhao. One serving, enough to make everyone remember the surprise of a lifetime. General Ben will let everyone understand that the ultimate in martial arts can be an enemy country! ”
The ultimate in martial arts, can you be an enemy country?
Lin'er looked slightly stunned, and looked at Mo Chen with some consternation, not knowing what he meant.
Mo Chen had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't explain anything to Lin'er.
By the time King Zhao agreed to compete, they had already lost!
