Chapter 334: Zhao Kuobei Sends Mission
Ten fingers connected to the heart, perhaps, only such a cone pain can keep Zhao Bao calm, and only this cone pain can make Zhao Bao remember today's humiliation.
I have to say that Zhao Kuo ignores a feudal monarch like this, especially if this feudal monarch is still the uncle of King Zhao now, which is really quite rude, and it can be regarded as a very faceless practice for Pingyang Jun, and in this era when you can kill three soldiers with "two peaches", such ignorance is simply a shame.
Unconsciously, Zhao Kuo seemed to have offended another person who could not have been offended.
It's just that even if Zhao Kuo knew that this move would offend Pingyang Jun fiercely, he didn't care at all. Because Pingyang Jun's actions have already stood on the opposite side of Zhao Kuo, it is obviously too late to set things right now.
Zhao Kuo didn't mind giving his opponent a boost like Pingyang Jun, even if he was born in a noble family, even if he was in a high position, such a short-sighted person would only do bad things, not succeed. And the subsequent events also fully confirmed Zhao Kuo's thoughts.
It's just bitter Pingyuan-kun. On one side is Zhao Kuo, the pillar of the country, and on the other hand, he is his stupid brother. Obviously, he has persuaded his stupid brother not to appear today, even if it is to be repaired again, there should be a buffer time, and appearing so suddenly will only embarrass both sides. But this stupid brother just doesn't listen!
It's okay now, Zhao Kuo is not embarrassed, but here is so embarrassing that he doesn't want it. If you make a bad deal because of this, Ping Yuanjun let out a long sigh in his heart, what kind of brother does his brother look like, and what kind of divine and ghost means Zhao Kuo on the other side, there is no chance of winning at all!
The small episode in front of the city gate passed quickly, and Zhao Kuo and his personal soldiers quickly converged, and a team of less than 500 people headed north.
King Zhao, who was hidden in the shadows above the city tower, saw that Zhao Kuo only had a short greeting with Lin Shangqing and Pingyuan Jun and then went north, and he was also a little relieved.
Looking at the elongated figure of Zhao Kuo and his party under the rising sun, the unprecedented King Zhao was a little unbearable, but he was quickly pressed down by the heart of the king.
The speed of Zhao Kuo and the others was not fast, but after turning a few corners, they finally disappeared from everyone's sight, and the civil and military forces who saw them off outside the city gate returned home one after another with the people of Handan who came on the way.
It's just that no one noticed that at the moment when Zhao Kuo and the others disappeared at the city gate, in the shadows of several people in Handan City, several carrier pigeons rose into the air and flew in all directions. Almost at the same time, the eastern, western, and southern parts of the city also galloped out.
Obviously, the spies of various countries in Handan City are all on the move.
Of course, the whole Zhao Kingdom never thought of hiding Zhao Kuo's itinerary, and even from the perspective of King Zhao, he hated to immediately inform the other six countries of the news that Zhao Kuo had left, so as to break their thoughts of digging into the wall.
But no one knows what kind of danger today's indulgence will pose to their generals.
The fast horse heading out of the west of the city only found his destination in half a day, the Qin State Mission, and the news that Zhao Kuo had gone north was quickly brought to the ears of Sima Cuo, who was dressed as a soldier, through the mouth of the envoy.
All of a sudden, things went bad.
"It's too late!" Sima Cuo's heart was even a chuckle.
The envoy beside him was also anxious, obviously as the envoy to Zhao State, he also had some understanding of the real purpose of this trip, but because of his identity, he was not clear about where to ambush Zhao Kuo or ambush.
But obviously, just looking at Sima Cuo's face, he also knew that it seemed that he and the others were a little late.
Even if the envoy is not a person who knows about military affairs, he also knows that ambushes and ambushes must be laid before they can be killed, and now he is still running towards Handan, but the target over there has already gone to the north. If you want to catch up, I'm afraid it's not so easy.
However, it was obvious that Sima Cuo did not want to give up, and without the slightest hesitation, he took out the map that he had been keeping by his side, and ordered the messenger to order the mission to stop advancing.
At present, there is still about a day before Handan City, and according to the original plan, after nightfall today, he should lead his army to break away from the mission and go northwest to penetrate Yanhe. And the mission is the following
Continue to advance towards Handan, and continue to monitor Zhao Kuo's actions after entering Handan City.
It's just that I didn't expect Zhao Kuo to act so quickly and catch myself off guard.
Of course, what Sima Cuo didn't know was that the reason why Zhao Kuo would act so quickly was because of his arrival, if it weren't for such a big move by King Qin, King Zhao would not have urged Zhao Kuo to make his trip openly and secretly.
If it weren't for the rush of King Zhao, Zhao Kuo would definitely wait for the party's reinforcements to make a detour to Handan and go to Daibei together, instead of the current two places facing each other to Daibei.
If Zhao Kuo really waited for the 10,000 elites of the Shangdang, not to mention Sima Cuo's only 600 elites, even if it was doubled, it would not be able to break Zhao Kuo's defense at all.
It can only be said that everything seems to have its own certainty in the dark.
Sima Cuo was a little caught off guard, but he also retained the hope of victory for him. And although Zhao Kuo's life is in danger, as long as he is careful enough, or his walking speed is fast enough, he can also avoid a catastrophe.
Everything is certain, but everything is possible.
Sitting on the ground, spreading out the map, Sima Cuozi carefully checked it over and over again, and his palm became his ruler, and he took the trouble to measure and measure on the map.
Finally, Sima Cuo raised his head and looked at the still shining sun, clenched his hands into fists, and smashed them the map.
"There's no way, that's the only way!" Sima Cuo muttered hatefully in his heart.
"Herald: Sharps are out of line, gather all the horses." Sima Coo looked coldly at the messenger and herald who were standing aside.
Obviously, Sima Cuo planned to immediately lead his Ruishi to change his route and go straight to the land of Yanhe. According to his calculations, although he had to set off after Zhao Kuo, and the distance was a little farther, as long as they could travel day and night, they would still be able to arrive at Zhao Kuo and the others about three hours in advance. After all, Zhao Kuozhi's march will not be in a hurry day and night.
The messenger who heard the words obviously understood what Sima Cuo meant, but he looked at Sima Cuo with his mouth wide open, and then looked at the sun that was still very hot overhead, his expression was quite puzzled, and then asked, "Now?"
How could Sima Cuo not know the danger of dividing the troops now, when the scorching sun is headed, maybe someone in the corner will see his move to divide the troops, once it is detected, he has a group of hundreds of sharp soldiers, I am afraid that it will be difficult to leave even a whole corpse.
But there was no other way. He is in a passive position, and he must complete it with a determination to die.
