Chapter 358: The General of the Qin Army is a Heavy General
"General!" A pro-soldier general suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Kuo, interrupting his thoughts.
"Speak." Zhao Kuo didn't get angry, but replied lightly.
"General Yu: I found the identity card of General Qinjun." The hundred generals replied immediately, holding a wooden military badge in both hands.
"Huh?" Zhao Kuo was surprised when he heard this, he could let Bai Jiang come to report so carefully, obviously this person is not small. It's just that to carry out such a mission of nine deaths and one life, the Qin State should not send any important generals, right?!
With a little surprise, Zhao Kuo took the military card handed over by the hundred generals.
There is not much difference between the wooden military badge and the ordinary Qin army's military badge, the only difference may be that it has been a long time, and the wooden one has been pulped and blackened a little.
Of course, this seeping into the wooden card is probably not only simple sweat, but also the blood of six *** people.
Looking closely, the back of the wooden plaque is engraved with the words "Shaoliang" and "General", which are obviously the origins and military ranks of the Qin generals.
I couldn't imagine that Qin State, or King Qin, would have such a big deal to kill Zhao Kuo, and he really spent money to kill himself! The only two generals in the country were sent.
In the battle of Changping, Sima Coo was busy commanding the army to protect the army, and Zhao Kuo had not been able to see this capable man.
Only in the next moment, Zhao Kuo knew that there was a big trouble.
It's not that there will be any trouble if you kill Sima Cuo, after all, if you dare to come to Zhao State to assassinate yourself, no matter who you are, you have to be prepared to be counter-killed, even if Wu Anjun comes back to life, Zhao Kuo will kill him. But Zhao Kuo's trouble is how to deal with Sima Cuo's corpse now.
This is Sima Mistake!
In terms of qualifications, he served in the three dynasties of King Qin Huiwen, King Wu of Qin, and King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and was the elder of the patriarchs;
In terms of merit, when he was young, he had argued with Zhang Yi, who was in full swing, and even put forward the strategic concept of "getting Shu is getting Chu", and personally completed the conquest of Shu, and entered Qin with Shu, so that Qin's national strength increased dramatically! This alone is a remarkable achievement.
What's more, this is only the exploits of the young and middle-aged years, and then the attack on Chu, into Korea, the attack on Wei and even the war against the Zhao State, all have their figures, and they have fought for the north and south for the Qin State for decades, and the merits need not be said.
In terms of position, after Wu Anjun Bai Qi was forced to die, Wang Di and Sima Cuo were respected in the Qin army, and even Sima Cuo's ability and seniority were higher than Wang Di, just because of his age, Sima Cuo was willing to fight for the younger Wang Di, even so, it was also a proper No. 2 person in the Qin army.
In this way, Zhao Kuo's original plan to bury it on the spot is obviously not possible. Although the Qin army was unrighteous first, out of respect for such high-ranking generals, returning the corpse was the most common and correct thing to do in this era.
What? Send half of the ashes back?
Well, it's better not to send it back!
The reason why Wu Anjun was cremated that day was that he was afraid that his death would not be thorough enough, on the other hand, Zhao Jun and Zhao Guo urgently needed to get rid of Qinphobia, and they also needed to set up a monument against Qin among the countries.
Now, the battle of Changping is over. Although the overall national strength of Zhao is still inferior to Qin, because of the big victory just now, in terms of the situation, it is slightly stronger than Qin.
Well, that's right, although it was the Qin State that provoked first, and it was the Qin State that wanted to assassinate, but as the dominant side of the Zhao State, you just can't chase and fight hard, otherwise you are not right, even if you are the injured party, you are not right!
Who calls the current Qin State a "vulnerable group"? This is true between people, and it is also true between nations.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhao Kuo is still more afraid that the old man of the Qin State will be angry, and if he starts another war desperately, his plans will be disrupted.
In Zhao Kuo's plan, for at least three or two years, he will defend the south and attack the north. In the south, the Dang County and Hanoi County must develop rapidly in the past few years when the Qin State has licked its wounds, so as to narrow the gap in national strength between the Zhao State and the Qin State; In the north, Zhao Kuo also needs to take advantage of this time to clean up his backyard.
Therefore, if the south can not fight, it will not fight; And to the north, how big can you fight! Only when the north fights can we attract everyone's attention to the north, so as to ignore the development of the two counties in the south, and only when the north is bigger, can there be more demand for military supplies and grain and grass, and can we better promote the development of the military supply system and the tuntian system in the south.
The war between the south and the north is actually two sides of the same coin. Once one side is broken, the other side is doomed, and in the current situation, neither Zhao Kuo nor Zhao Guo has the ability and conditions to fight on both sides.
Therefore, the return of the body is already a must.
It's just that if the body is handed over so simply, Zhao Kuo is still a little unwilling in his heart, this is the corpse of a senior general of the Qin State! And, how to pay? Where to hand it in? To whom? It's all a problem! I don't have time to delay in such a thing - the Hu people in the north won't wait for me.
After hesitating, Zhao Kuo raised his head and saw Zhao Ping standing aside at a loss, because Zhao Kuo refused to let Zhao Ping's reinforcements help carry and sort out the corpse, Zhao Ping and others could only do the thing of setting up tents, and this matter was almost quickly completed with the efforts of more than a thousand soldiers. Now Zhao Ping and the thousands of people under his command are doing nothing!
Looking at Zhao Ping, Zhao Kuo patted his head, and suddenly had an idea - professional things should be done by professional people.
"Zhao Ping." Zhao Kuo shouted at Zhao Ping on the side.
"Yes!" Hearing the call outside the heavy rain curtain, Zhao Ping immediately agreed, and then trotted all the way to Zhao Kuo's side, wiped the rain on his face, and bowed down and said, "Here! The end will be."
"Rush back to the city of Yanhe, find a good coffin and send it to the camp, and then place the generals of the Qin army in it. You will send it back to Handan by your fast horse, and hand it over to Pingyuan Jun with this military card." Zhao Kuo said as he handed the military card in his hand to Zhao Ping.
After a slight pause, Zhao Kuo continued: "In addition, I told the king of Pingyuan: The king of Qin has a clever plan to calm the world, and he has lost his generals and broken his troops, but the battle in the north of my Great Zhao is imminent, and there should be no more incidents in the south at this time. Let it be at its discretion."
"Yes, the last will understand." Zhao Ping received the military badge and bowed down again and replied loudly.
Immediately, he mounted his war horse and rushed to the city with dozens of people.
