Battle of Changping Chapter 246 The price of the king's order is too low
Zhao Kuo was not in a hurry, until they came to him, and then moved forward.
Seeing that a bunch of people suddenly appeared in front of the Chinese military tent, Pingyuan Jun was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this should be Zhao Kuo had given up.
Although Pingyuanjun also knew that giving up was the best way now, he still couldn't help but feel very sorry in his heart.
In the past few days in the barracks, Pingyuan Jun personally felt the unremitting efforts made by more than 100,000 people in the whole army to annihilate the Qin army. From Zhao Kuo, Lian Po and other senior generals, down to the most ordinary soldiers, they all vowed to keep the remnants of the Qin army in the territory of Shangdang. In the large-scale military exercises alone, I don't know how many times the Chinese military tent has practiced them, killing them to the fullest, and even staying up all night.
But now, just when he was about to kick the door, he was stumped by life, and even Pingyuanjun, who was half an outsider, called it a pity.
However, the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to think too much. Immediately stepped forward quickly, and the guide Wang made Pingyangjun and others move towards the Chinese military tent.
Pingyang Jun and the others on the side, seeing Zhao Kuo leading the soldiers out of the tent to greet them, obviously understood that Zhao Kuo had given up the tactics of delaying, and immediately became excited-let you do everything you can, not to succumb to our hands.
Soon, the two groups finally met.
Pingyang Jun and the others, who had already occupied the victory position, did not look like they wanted to be powerful, but saluted Zhao Kuo first, and the two of them said in unison: "Xiaguan and others have seen the general! The Admiral worked hard!"
After all, now in other people's fields, he still came with the king order to smash the field, if he is arrogant again, the king may Zhao Kuo will accept it, but what kind of treatment he and others will receive, it is uncertain. If the young man in front of him loses his mind in a fit of rage, it will be difficult to do.
Hearing the courtesy of Pingyang Jun and Doctor Lou Chang, Zhao Kuo's evaluation of the two of them rose to a higher level. After all, reckless people are not terrible, and people who can stretch and bend are even more troublesome to deal with.
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, since the person who came first to salute, Zhao Kuo really turned his face immediately, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Zhao Kuo, lead all the soldiers of the party to welcome the king!"
Zhao Kuo will still do the face work that should be done, but obviously, compared to the treatment of Pingyuanjun, the attitude of Zhao Kuo and others is not only worse, but even the bow of worship, Zhao Kuo also defaulted to the province.
Fortunately, Pingyang Jun on the other side is also a sensible person, and he doesn't want to form a bond with all the Zhao army, so as Zhao Kuo bowed, he immediately stepped forward and supported Zhao Kuo, who was not going to kneel, and said, "The general is serious!"
Zhao Kuo remained silent, and he didn't want to make any more mistakes with the few people in front of him, after all, although the battle couldn't be fought now, it still needed to be arranged, so the time was still urgent. Then Zhao Kuo asked, "Now that the war is imminent, I don't know what the king's envoy is doing from afar?"
It can be said that Zhao Kuo's words are already very straightforward, almost saying: There is a fart about to be released.
In the face of Zhao Kuo's fast words, Pingyang Jun was not annoyed, after all, such an attitude was the attitude they expected Zhao Kuo to have, if he had been polite, then he would not be a military general Zhao Kuo.
Immediately, Pingyang Jun nodded slightly, took out the book of the king's order from his arms, and read it in public. Zhao Kuo then knelt down on one knee to obey the king's order.
"The king's order, said: The battle of the Shangdang lasted three years, with tens of thousands of casualties, and the peace of the heavens has been done, and the common people are suffering. Now at the invitation of the Qin State, he wants to end the dispute between the two countries with the land of Taoyi, and the widow has a heavenly heart and thinks about the people's will, and the resolution is from what he asks.
Order: General Zhao Kuo, after receiving the order of the king, returned to the Qin army of Shangdang. After the party is established, he will lead the army to victory, and on the day when the army reaches Handan, the widows will be demoted to meet them."
After speaking, Pingyangjun put away the silk book and handed it to Zhao Kuo's hands with both hands.
When Zhao Kuo was stunned, the book of Wang Ming Silk had already been handed to Zhao Kuo's hands, but Zhao Kuo was still unconscious. kept calculating the pros and cons of gains and losses in his heart, obviously, Zhao Kuo couldn't accept such a decision from King Zhao no matter what.
Although Zhao Kuo had already guessed the content of the king's order, when he really received the king's order, Zhao Kuo was still a little confused! First, he didn't believe that King Zhao really ordered him to call off the army and return to the Qin army; The second is to be surprised that Qin Guo is actually there
only paid such a small price in exchange for more than 100,000 elite divisions of the party.
That's right, at least in Zhao Kuo's eyes, the price of this Taoyi land is too small and too small, and it can't even be counted. Because Zhao Kuo, who is a person of later generations, knows very well that the national policy of the current Qin State is "distant friendship and close attack", and Tao Yi can give almost no help to the Qin State, even if it is indeed very rich.
Compared with Taoyi, the land of Hanoi and the land east of the river are the lifelines that lock the Qin army's eastward exit. You must know that the lands of Hedong and Hanoi are all easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if Han and Wei are already weak, the Qin State is also under the leadership of Bai Qi, the killing god, and it is not easy to fight.
If Zhao has its land, it can not only use its rivers and mountains to greatly increase its national strength, but also firmly lock the road to the east of Qin, at least its northern road.
In other words, if the Qin army still wanted to go east, it would inevitably set its sights on the south, to the Chu state. The Qin State that lost Hanoi and Hedong was like the Shu Han who lost Jingzhou in the Three Kingdoms, and could only attack out of Qishan, and the effect can be imagined.
And once the Qin army looks south, not only will it greatly reduce the threat to Zhao, but even if the Qin army succeeds in the south, it will also give Zhao enough time to develop.
Even, if possible, Zhao Kuo also wanted to give the few enclaves of Zhao in the Central Plains to the Qin State, so as to use the wealth of the Central Plains to influence the national policy of the Qin State again.
It's just that, because of the limitations of history, King Zhao and others obviously can't perceive the key.
Of course, with hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, it took more than ten cities in the land of Taoyi to be exchanged, and the generals still felt that it was a little worthless, and even unacceptable. If nothing else, at least the Yewang City in the interior of the river will be ceded, right? Otherwise, how to ensure safety after going to the party?
The release of the Qin army was already difficult for everyone to accept, not to mention that it was still such a worthless price, and the generals who heard the words also clenched their teeth and kept silent.
Based on this thought, Zhao Kuo's stunned expression in front of him also turned into the calm before the storm in the eyes of everyone.
Seeing that Zhao Kuo's anger was becoming more and more obvious, the generals behind him, including Lian Po and Tian Dan, and even Pingyuan Jun, did not dare to come out.
But there is one who is not afraid of death, and Lou Chang on the side is a demon at this time for some reason.
"Congratulations to the General!" Lou Chang clenched his hands into fists, and the smirk and smugness on his face couldn't be hidden: "My king actually wants to greet the general with a demotion ceremony, this is an unprecedented honor!" Don't take the king's order quickly."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lou Chang angrily......
