Battle of Changping Chapter 289 The plain-clothed prisoner car returns to Handan
Does Zhao Kuo have any chances?
Of course there is, too many times! Even if he had to lead his troops to battle under pressure from all sides, Zhao Kuo could also sit east of Danshui and order Lian Po or Tian Dan or even Zhou Qi and others to lead the troops westward. Even if he thinks about his personal safety, Zhao Kuo can even arrange himself in his hometown.
As for the front line, it is enough to rush once and then withdraw. Although the guilt of defeat is inevitable, people with a discerning eye know that they are just a top thunderer, and cutting their posts and seizing power is the limit, and even the title of Ma Fujun may be retained.
Or, even if he wants to win this battle, Zhao Kuo can communicate with King Zhao about asking for help first, and no matter how bad it is, after sending Lian Po to ask for help, it is good to mention it in the military report, and King Zhao should not classify Zhao Kuo as a "chaotic minister and thief".
Also, when the Qin army was finally released, why bother to kill 1,000 enemies and force people to death in vain with 800 losses? Isn't it good to keep "self-respect"?
Even, if you really don't want to fight, you just want to live, and go directly to the Qin State, you must be able to get good treatment, at least there is no danger to your life, and you won't be in a prison car, and your future is uncertain......
It can be said that Zhao Kuo's current encounter is all provoked by himself.
The reason is also very simple, from the beginning of Zhao Kuo's promise to go out of the mountains to fight this battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo thought not only of winning this small battle, but to completely change history, save the Warring States from the hands of the Qin State who died II, and save hundreds of people from the tyrannical Qin and the harsh government of various countries.
Not only the Battle of Changping, but even the entire Zhao State was just Zhao Kuo's. Of course, if it is Zhao Wang Xianming, Zhao Kuo is also willing to act as a figure like Zhuge Wuhou, judging from his forcing Zhao Kuo to the battlefield and a series of confusing operations, this is by no means a "good match".
Therefore, Zhao Kuo can only come by himself.
And if you want to complete this ambition by yourself, the Battle of Changping must be won, and to win beautifully, Zhao Kuo himself must play an irreplaceable role in it.
For this reason, Zhao Kuo must go to the battlefield in person and be willing to risk the arrow;
For this reason, Zhao Kuo must hide from King Zhao, not only for the continuation of the battle plan, but also to quietly cut off from King Zhao, and at the same time to firmly lock the credit on himself;
Similarly, the final resistance was to blow the horn of King Zhao's own calculations, and it was also the clarion call for his own counterattack.
It's just that, obviously, the price of such an act is not small, and the slightest carelessness is the result of the burning of jade. The wound left by the dark arrow in his chest still hurts faintly.
It is not unaware of the bumpy road ahead, not the danger of not knowing the life of the revolution, not the four walls of the family, nor the cornered, it is their own choice, and it is also the inevitability of history. For it, he was shattered and fearless.
Countless martyrs of the Revolution are like this, and so is Zhao Kuo today. Of course, Zhao Kuo is not without selfishness, and the biggest selfishness is what is written in the lyrics: "There should always be a story for future generations to see".
Zhao Kuo was stunned, the prisoner car had gradually stopped, and the eunuchs in the palace in front seemed to be saying something to Pingyuanjun, and it seemed that Pingyuanjun was still bursting into anger. But after a moment of silence, Pingyuanjun slowly walked towards Zhao Kuo's prisoner car.
Zhao Kuo looked at the already somewhat desolate scenery around him, and had already guessed it in his heart.
"Ma Fu-kun?" Pingyuanjun jumped off the war horse, trotted two steps to the side of the prisoner car, bowed slightly to Zhao Kuo, and greeted.
Zhao Kuo, who was leaning on the fence of the prisoner car, immediately sat up straight, looked at the mountain peaks not far away, and then looked at Pingyuanjun who looked constipated, and had already guessed the purpose of Pingyuanjun's coming, and then said with a smile: "It's not far from Handan."
"Yes, yes." Pingyuan Jun was obviously a little surprised, and then pointed in the direction of the northeast, and said slowly, "If you climb over those two mountains again, you can see Handan City."
"It's less than twenty miles from Handan!" Pingyuanjun added another sentence.
Following the direction of Pingyuanjun's finger, Zhao Kuo looked at it, and the mountains that had been stretching were slowly constricting in the direction of his finger. And at the end of that end, a majestic city seemed to loom in the distance. Well, that natural knowledge is
Hallucination! It's not even a mirage, it's just Zhao Kuo's speculation!
It's still twenty miles, and there are even mountain peaks blocking it, even if it's clairvoyant, it's hard to see. It's just that Zhao Kuo knows it very well, but the hazy feeling seems to be true.
Just like after not returning home for several years, even if the train is still on the train and the train has not yet arrived, the traveler can already see his father outside the station, stomping his feet to drive away the winter chill, while looking forward to the situation through the long railway line and through the heavy partitions of the buildings.
Perhaps, this is the so-called "hometown timidity", the love of family and country, nothing more than that!
I don't know if my mother is okay in Handan City? The generals in the family were all brought to the battlefield by themselves, I don't know ......
"Ma Fu-kun? Ma Fujun!" Ping Yuanjun's words interrupted Zhao Kuo's thoughts.
Zhao Kuo turned his head slightly, looked at Pingyuanjun who was quite embarrassed, and said lightly, "Come on."
"Huh? What's coming?" This time, the Plains Jun was stunned.
"Thank you Pingyuanjun for taking care of you all the way, this place is close to Handan, and between people coming and going, this gentleman will naturally not make it difficult for Pingyuanjun." Zhao Kuo smiled and looked at Pingyuanjun, who was already a little excited, and said slowly, "Wear everything you should wear."
When Pingyuan Jun heard this, he tried his best to suppress his excitement and bowed deeply to Zhao Kuo.
In this era of "soldiers can be killed, not humiliated", it is not easy to take the initiative to wear prison clothes and shackles, especially the chains of dozens of catties, but you are really sinned.
originally thought that there would be a lot of effort, and even Pingyuanjun was ready to fail, but he didn't want Zhao Kuo not only to see his intentions, but also to take the initiative to bear it. This couldn't help but move Pingyuan-kun.
Of course, Zhao Kuo is not only for Pingyuan Jun to obey the king's orders, but more, Zhao Kuo also wants to make himself appear more miserable, so as to make his bitter plan more realistic.
"Ma Fu-kun, don't worry. I won't let you suffer in vain." Pingyuanjun said hatefully.
That's right, the reason why Pingyuan Jun came back to persuade Zhao Kuo to wear the chains was to let all the people and subjects of Handan see the tragic experience of the general, so as to further launch a public opinion war.
With a wave of his hand, the palace guards immediately stepped forward and carefully opened the prisoner cart, about to put heavy chains on Zhao Kuo inside.
Zhao Kuo didn't react here, and when he accepted it happily, the soldiers behind him didn't do it.
"Stop......
