Battle of Changping Chapter 004 See the Plains for a detailed discussion
Seeing that the plain monarch should respond, Zhao Kuo seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart.
After the family affairs are taken care of, it is time to take care of the state affairs. Zhao Kuo straightened up slightly, added a cup of tea for Pingyuan Jun and himself, and said slowly: "Benjun heard: This time I persuaded my king to take Benjun as the main general, and the one who jumped out of the favor was none other than facilitating Zhao Qin's peace talks with Dr. Louchang on the same day?" β
"Yes, yes!" Pingyuanjun obviously heard a trace of bad breath from Zhao Kuo's slightly low tone.
"Since Dr. Lou Chang believes in this monarch so much, during the peace talks, it is even more for me to be the alliance of Qi, Chu, Han and Wei, so that Changping is in trouble, and now Benjun is going to reinforce him, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, so please take the head of Dr. Lou Chang to sacrifice the flag for this jun!" Zhao Kuo held up the teacup in one hand, brought it to his mouth, and drank it all.
When the ......
Pingyuan Jun was obviously stunned by Zhao Kuo's words, the tea cup in his hand actually fell with his hand, fortunately, the height was not high, and it did not shatter when it fell on the wooden table, but it was a pity that a good tea was sprinkled on the table.
"This ......" Pingyuan Jun looked at Zhao Kuo with some incredulity, this time he wants a doctor to sacrifice the flag, is it so fierce?
Zhao Kuo looked at the tea cup that was dripping and turning on the table, stretched out his left hand to help it up, added another one to Pingyuan Jun, and continued to speak: "Otherwise, I can't understand my determination to fight with Qin; Otherwise, the trust of the League of Nations cannot be restored; Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line will not be able to fight with peace of mind. β
The three "If you have to, you can't" stunned Pingyuan Jun again.
Yes, although the Qin army threw out the words "Fear the horse suit", which is quite a signal of tacit cooperation, but the Qin people have no faith, which is famous.
Will the Qin army really allow the army that had blocked them for three years to retreat calmly?
Apparently not.
The so-called "tacit understanding" is probably the wishful thinking of Zhao Wang and others, and if you want to really withdraw from it, you still have to rely on yourself.
Of course, if you can get the help of the surrounding Wei, Han, and even Qi and Chu, you don't even need them to send troops, even if you give some food, it can greatly alleviate the predicament of Zhao.
In order to gain the understanding and support of neighboring countries, it is undoubtedly the easiest and quickest way to launch Lou Chang, who has worked hard to promote the peace talks between Zhao and Qin.
Of course, if there is no personal grudge in it, then Pingyuan-kun doesn't believe it eitherβif you push me to the battlefield of nine deaths, I will let your head fall to the ground as my stepping stone.
is so crisp and direct to retaliate, but it is still justified under the banner of "for the country and the people" that Lou Chang once played.
Pingyuan-kun has a little like the young man in front of him!
"This is to ask my king to kill the minister, I'm afraid ......" Of course, if you like it, you like it, appreciate it, and if you want to say it, Pingyuanjun still has to say it.
Of course, Zhao Kuo knew that it was almost impossible for King Zhao to agree to this request.
But first, he needs to use it to show his toughness, so that those who have fallen into the trap will be restrained. Secondly, even if the king does not kill Lou Chang, for the sake of himself being about to lead the whole army, he will at least alienate and denounce him, which may make it less harmful to the Zhao State. And finally, and most importantly: since you have rejected this first article, can you still bear to refuse the next terms?
This so-called, take the law from the top and get the middle!
Zhao Kuo smiled, took out a bamboo slip from under the table, handed it to Pingyuanjun with both hands, and said: "This is to ask for the book of Zhulou Chang, please ask Pingyuanjun to forward it to my king, as for how to deal with it, it should be decided by my king." β
When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he solemnly took the bamboo slip and said, "This gentleman must bring it, what else does Ma Fujun want, and let's talk about it together." β
Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, but did not continue to make a request, but asked Pingyuan Jun: "This battle is related to the survival of my Zhao country, I don't know how many reinforcements my king has prepared for this monarch?" β
"50,000 horses!" Pingyuan Jun stretched out five fingers, and then immediately added with a red face: "This is the limit, there are already 400,000 troops on the battlefield of Changping, except for the army of the Huns and the guards of our king, the army of Zhao has all been handed over to the general, and the trust of my king is not unimportant." β
Zhao Kuo didn't answer, is the letter heavy? Then I'd rather not have this so-called trustworthiness.
Even Zhao Kuo guessed from Pingyuan Jun's slightly shy expression that this army of 50,000 was definitely not an elite cargo. Let yourself go to the rescue with an army of 50,000 improvised patchwork, King Zhao really can think of it!
However, Zhao Kuo's focus is obviously not on the number of troops.
In this era of cold weapons, the role of a good general is far greater than that of a thousand soldiers. Therefore, Zhao Kuo's real intention is to be a general, not a soldier.
King Zhao obviously holds Tian Dan, Le Yi, Pang Yuan, Li Mu and other famous generals, even King Qin is the kind that will drool when he sees it, but he refuses to use it. And for Zhao Wang, a card collector who is never willing to play cards, Zhao Kuo is really a little convinced. Since it is easy for him to be the master of the house, he naturally has to be generous, and it is disrespectful to others not to have two or three famous generals!
"If you use this king, you will believe in this general. This king does not ask our king to allocate more soldiers, but I beg my king to allow this general to mobilize all the generals in the country in order to make a foolish plan. Zhao Kuo finally put forward his request, and from Benjun to Ben General, it is obvious that Zhao Kuo has gradually entered the state of combat.
The Plains King barely hesitated, and then replied, "This is the right that the Lord will have!" This king can now promise the general on behalf of my king. β
"In this case, please transfer General Tianshan into our army." Zhao Kuo immediately demanded.
It's not that Zhao Kuo doesn't want Li Mu, one of the four generals of the Warring States, but Li Mu is still unknown, and more importantly, Li Mu is still in Daidi, and he wants him to come, and ten days will pass without saying anything back and forth, and King Zhao has no patience to wait for another ten days.
As for Le Yi and Pang Yuan, they are indeed not young, and they are obviously not as easy to use as Tiandan.
Of course, Tiandan is not so easy to invite, especially by Zhao Kuo. Without him, Tian Dan and Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao Hao, had a dispute about the amount of military power needed, and after this dispute, under the impetus of someone with a heart, the two immediately became each other's political enemies.
Now, Zhao Kuo wants Tian Dan to work under his account......
Ping Yuanjun looked at Zhao Kuo with some suspicion, and his eyes seemed to say: "Boy, if you want to stand up for your father, don't pick a time." β
It seemed that he understood Pingyuan Jun's suspicious eyes, and Zhao Kuo immediately smiled: "The king misunderstood, please ask General Tian to come out, just because General Tian is good at guarding, and the general needs to use his defense to defend the defense line of the Bailishi Great Wall for our army, that is, the line from Changping Pass to the old pass, and reserve room for our army to retreat." β
