Chapter 496: King Zhao came out of the palace to greet him

However, the last general thought that "the reprimanded general did not give up, and he knew that with this turnaround, he was afraid that the battle would be completely lost."

It's just that the question he can see, so many Wen Chenwu will not understand? But what if the Yan army was defeated?

It's better than landing your own head! Fortunately, because of the Zhao army's surprise attack, everyone panicked, and they were not able to organize the language to refute the young general for a while.

This gave the general the opportunity to continue talking.

"The Zhao army seems to be menacing, and its strength is only tens of thousands in the eyes of the last general, and its strength is not even enough for me. As long as our army can hold the camp tightly, the Zhao army will retreat if it misses a blow. The general continued: "As long as you hold on for an hour, as soon as the Zhao army loses its spirit, it will be the time for our army to counterattack!" ”

"Now that the gates of Handan are wide open, once our army's counterattack is successful......" the general wanted to continue, but was immediately interrupted by another minister.

"Don't say it's been an hour, now that the Zhao army is coming from three sides, I'm afraid that in just a quarter of an hour, the cavalry of the Zhao army will rush to the Chinese army! We are all taken prisoner! For the sake of today, it is necessary to retreat quickly. "Obviously, the ministers don't want to stay in this dangerous place for a long time.

"Prime Minister." King Yan looked at the argument between the two, and suddenly lost his mind, and immediately asked the prime minister.

The prime minister glanced at the dust and smoke outside the camp, and suddenly had the answer in his heart. Then he said to King Yan: "Handan City has been surrounded by our legions, and it is bound that there may be troops who can leave the city silently." From this point of view, the two Zhao armies in the north are bound to be the reinforcements of the Zhao State. As soon as these words came out, the ministers immediately understood the meaning of chestnut belly, but it was a pity that King Yan still didn't understand.

Helpless, chestnut belly had no choice but to continue: "Whether this reinforcement comes from Daidi, Shangdang, or Hanoi, it is impossible for our army to win this battle. ”

"How's that to be?" King Yan is obviously a little anxious, here is all his blood, if all of it is folded here, can Yan Guo still live alone?

"Don't worry, my king." Chestnut took a deep breath, and then said: "The main force of our army is still there, my king can quickly move to the east, as long as the army is still there, everything will be fine." "Li's words are already very straightforward, as long as the army is still there, then King Yan is still King Yan, whether it is Zhao State or domestic forces, they can't do anything to King Yan.

As for this defeat, it is nothing more than finding a scapegoat, and then paying Zhao Guo a few cities. King Yan did not hesitate, and even said to everyone: "As the minister of state said, all the kings obey the orders of the minister of state." ”

"Yes." All the ministers agreed in unison, even if it was an unwilling young general, they could only reluctantly clench their fists and agree.

Immediately, King Yan took up his chestnut-bellied hands and said quite affectionately: "Everything is up to the prime minister." ”

"My king is at ease." Chestnut belly also replied immediately, but just after agreeing to King Yan, chestnut belly suddenly felt a trace of coolness, this scapegoat, it can't be himself, right?

! I didn't have time to think about it, because Zhao Jun's arrow rain had already struck again. Although there are only a few of them, it is enough to scare the monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom half to death.

"The armies obey orders." Li belly no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the army: "The front and rear camps, each with 10,000 troops to delay the Zhao army's attack, the army immediately reorganized its army to the east, and the target was Anping City." Everyone was slightly stunned, do you want to run so far?

It's almost back to Yan Kingdom. But when he thought that Zhao Jun was imminent, he immediately no longer hesitated, and promised one after another: "Yes." So, under the order of the chestnut belly, the Yan army moved quickly, even a few points faster than the speed of the Zhao army.

Even the cavalry led by Li Mu had just broken through the rear camp of the Yan army, and before they had time to sweep away the armies, the main force of the Yan army there had already rushed towards the east.

To be honest, Li Mu was also a little stunned when he looked at this scene. Anyway, you can resist it, we just rushed to the back camp, what is the situation when your Chinese army runs away?

But don't say it, this escape tactic is really the best way to deal with Li Mu, the armies of Handan City and Xishan are all foot soldiers, which are obviously not suitable for pursuit, and the 30,000 troops led by themselves who are good at pursuit have already rushed into the rear camp and strangled with the Yan army, and it is really not good to gather again for a while.

What's more, what Li Mu wants to fight is a rout battle, after all, the general is still waiting for his rescue.

Even if there are forces to pursue, they are destined not to pursue too deeply. But don't chase it, let the main force of the Yan army flee back like this, Li Mu is not reconciled!

There was no way, Li Mu had no choice but to gather about 10,000 troops and order them to go east to intercept the main force of the Yan army fleeing east.

Of course, in order to avoid the pursuit too far, the limit was twenty miles. Immediately, Li Mu led the main force of the Zhao army and began to exterminate the tens of thousands of troops abandoned by King Yan.

The rest of the battle has completely lost any suspense, whether it is troops, generals or morale, the Yan army is at an absolute disadvantage.

The only suspense is just how many Yan troops can be annihilated in this battle. To be exact, it should be how many Yan troops the pursuing troops can leave behind.

It's just that Yan Jun has not been able to bring the slightest obstacle to Li Mu, but it doesn't mean that Li Mu's trip will be smooth sailing.

The battle outside the city was quickly reported to King Zhao's ears by someone with a heart!

"What?" Hearing the news that reinforcements appeared in the north and were encircling and suppressing the Yan army, King Zhao immediately stood up from his seat: "The general has returned?" "It's false to say that I'm not excited, these days, although there is Pingyuan Jun in front of him, there is no big problem, but as King Zhao, he was beaten to the door by Yan Jun, and his anger and worry are also true.

At this time, when he heard that the reinforcements had arrived, and as soon as he came back, he was encircling and suppressing the Yan army, and King Zhao was naturally very excited.

"I knew that the general was loyal!" King Zhao happily said to the ministers in the court, obviously Zhao Kuo's timely return really made King Zhao a lot happy - at least Zhao Kuo learned to be obedient.

In the face of the excited King Zhao, the ministers present obviously did not dare to disappoint the fun, and immediately praised Zhao Kuo's loyalty, even Doctor Lou Chang, if you only listen to the words at this time, you would never have imagined that just one night ago, this Doctor Lou Chang was still slandering Zhao Kuo's disrespect for the king's life in front of King Zhao.

Of course, as King Zhao's favorite minister, King Zhao also generously forgot about Lou Chang's slander.

Just when there was a lot of joy above the palace, the latest battle report came from the herald sent back by the plains: "The army of Yan has fled east!" ”

"So fast?" Everyone's hearts were shocked again!

"General, you deserve to be the pillar of my Great Zhao! It's just a little Yan Jun, it's not worth mentioning at all. King Zhao immediately patted the case and praised.

Then there was another round of praise.

"My king." Lou Chang immediately went out of the class and said, "Why don't we go out of the city to welcome the return of the general!" Once he said this, let alone King Zhao, many of the courtiers present also cast surprised glances at Lou Chang.

After all, Lou Chang and Zhao Kuo don't deal with each other, that's almost a well-known thing, and now Lou Chang actually proposed to let him go to meet Zhao Kuo in person?

That's a great courtesy! Is it because Zhao Kuo's prestige is not enough?! Lou Chang's mind is obviously not so pure, Lou Chang knows very well: in the face of Zhao Kuo's military exploits again, it is meaningless to confront him head-on, and he will only make his head bleed.

It's better to take advantage of Zhao Kuo's mid-day situation and burn him with another fire, which may not be able to blow up this hot stove.

Prince Zhao's personal greeting is naturally a courtesy, but if the other party is a figure with high merit, this courtesy is a solid poison - the kind that has no solution.

The more proud Zhao Kuo is at this moment, the more his future behavior will attract the attention of the world, and it will be silently and infinitely amplified in King Zhao's heart.

There is a slight difference, and I am adding fuel to the fire...... Of course, not everyone can understand these thoughts, especially the two members of Zhao Kuo's side, Lin Xiangru is still on sick leave, and Pingyuan Jun is on top of the city tower, and no one will be able to see through his own killing.

The most important thing is that King Zhao can't see through this plan! Sure enough, King Zhao, who heard this, stroked his beard, looking very relieved, and then said slowly: "The general will break this strong enemy for Da Zhao again, and the widow should go to greet him in person." Doctor Lou Chang said this, and he has a heart. ”

"Come on, give Lou Chang a pair of Doctor Yujue." King Zhao then continued. And the windfall?!

Lou Chang immediately clasped his hands into fists and smiled as happily as a three-year-old child. Soon, King Zhao led a group of people in the direction of the city tower.

Ping Yuanjun, who was watching the battle from the city tower, heard the report of his subordinates about King Zhao's personal welcome, and immediately felt bad, and almost instantly, Pingyuanjun realized that this was not a courtesy at all, but a conspiracy of Lou Chang to kill.

But the problem is, King Zhao is out of the palace! This conspiracy also became a real conspiracy with King Zhao's exit from the palace!

How? King Zhao is here, do you want King Zhao to return to the palace? It can be said that from the moment King Zhao left the palace gate, this conspiracy had already worked.

Welcoming has become an established fact, and Zhao Kuo has also been put on the charcoal. slapped the battlements covered with blood fiercely, and Pingyuan Jun really had a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to scold - he and Zhao Kuo fought desperately and bloodily, which can be said to be nine deaths, and he didn't know how to guard against this hidden arrow from behind him.

There is a saying: open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, and at this time, Pingyuanjun has no way to make a circle for Zhao Kuo.

Seeing that King Zhao's car had slowly come to the city tower, even if Ping Yuanjun was reluctant, he could only go down to the city tower to greet him, and only hoped that when the general returned, he would be a little more humble.

But does humility really work? Pingyuan Jun shook his head helplessly, and hurried to the city tower with the few remaining generals on the city tower to welcome the arrival of King Zhao.

What Pingyuan Jun didn't know was that even if Zhao Kuo wanted to be humble, it would be impossible. At this time, Zhao Kuo was eating millet rice with the soldiers on the tower of the city!

And Zhao Kuo's crime is also here.
