"Report!"

An eager voice interrupted Zhao Kuo, who was meditating on the map.

"Enter." Turning around, Zhao Kuo said to the outside of the tent.

"General Yu, Handan forwards a report from the city and the city!" The messenger presented a silk book with both hands.

Zhao Kuo took the silk book, slowly unfolded it, and under the consistent appearance, his brows instantly furrowed - it's finally here!

"Order Chen Xun, Sun Gu, Zhou Qi, and Zhao Wei to come to the Chinese army to discuss matters." Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and then ordered.

"Yes." The herald on the side immediately agreed.

That's right, now Zhao Kuo is in Daicheng, and Zhao Wei also rushed to Daicheng with more than 20,000 elites. Of course, all this is not a coincidence, but a good show directed by Zhao Kuo.

Holding the silk book, Zhao Kuo slowly walked to the main seat, then sat down and spread the silk book on the table.

Zhao Kuo is well aware that the historic moment has come again.

If it is said that the First Battle of Changping changed the fate of Zhao and the pattern of the Warring States; Then the next battle is the one that will change the fate of Zhao Kuo himself and the whole of China.

Although Li Mu has already finished singing the first half and sang it to a full house, if he doesn't sing well in the second half of the next half, it will still be a failure.

And if you want to sing this play brilliantly, it is inseparable from the efforts of all the Zhao people who were present and not present. I can't help but Zhao Kuo has to treat it so cautiously - those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety.

Soon, the four were hurriedly summoned by the heralds. 33

Zhao Kuozheng repeatedly warned himself: Every time you encounter a major event, you must have calm. Although there have been turbulent waves in his heart, on the surface, Zhao Kuo still has to be unfazed.

After sitting down after a salute, Zhao Kuo spoke up.

"I just received a message from Handan Lin Shangqing and Pingyuan Jun, a flying pigeon book." Zhao Kuo's tone was obviously a little heavy, and he immediately handed the cloth on the table to General Chen Xun, who was closest to him, and motioned for them to circulate it.

"As the letter says, on the way to pursue the remnants of the Yan army, our king was ambushed by the Yan army. The army was defeated. Zhao Kuo slowly said this incredible news.

"How is that possible?!"

"There are still more than 40,000 troops in my king's place, all of them are the elite of a hundred battles!"

......

Everyone present looked at Zhao Kuo in disbelief, although they knew in their hearts that the general would not joke about such a thing, but this was too unbelievable.

You know, just a few days ago, it was also reported that our army had besieged the Yan army in Anping City and couldn't move?

Why is it that the form is suddenly reversed today? Even if it is more than 30,000 pigs, Yan Jun can't catch them all in a few days! Even if the king doesn't understand the army, there is still Li Mu, the general's favorite general, in the army? How could such a thing happen.

Zhao Kuo didn't explain, and several people immediately didn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly gathered around General Chen Xun to check the inconspicuous cloth.

"What? Li Mu was sent out of the camp? ”

"Pingyang Jun and Lou Chang rule the army together?"

"How ridiculous is this Huang Zhong's destruction of the clay kettle's thunderous act!"

Except for Zhao Wei, everyone present has seen Pingyang Jun's cowardice, so it's strange that he can manage the army like that! Immediately, everyone frowned deeply and complained.

Zhao Kuo still didn't speak, because the real climax is still to come!

Sure enough, within a moment, everyone's pupils were dilated, and then they all looked at Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo nodded at this time and said, "Shangqing and Pingyuan Jun jointly wrote the book, there was no doubt at that time. ”

With a long sigh, Zhao Kuo said slowly: "When my king was defeated by the army, he was injured by a stray arrow, and after being sent back to Handan, he was already cured. ”

Several people who heard the words were silent. A little sadness, a little hatred, a little confusion and even a little ...... Glad? Only they know.

The reason why there are so many complex emotions is that the position of everyone is too special.

Among the four, except for Chen Xun, three of them can be said to be hardcore supporters of General Zhao Kuo, and even Chen Xun gradually moved towards Zhao Kuo's camp. And King Zhao's persecution of the general, several people saw it.

Naturally, several people are emotionally repulsed by King Zhao. Although it may not have reached the point of "when is the day of mourning, give and you will die", it is definitely not good.

But on the other hand, King Zhao is the supreme ruler of Zhao after all, and such a figure was unexpectedly killed by the Yan army's arrows. As General Zhao, he should really show a bit of grief and hatred.

"How so?" Chen Xun obviously still didn't want to believe this result.

Of course, Chen Xun's suspicion is not unreasonable, you must know that although the battlefield is dangerous, the probability of the main general dying in a battle is actually very low, especially when the main general does not fight on the battlefield in person.

First, the main general is in the center of the army, and if he wants to take the head of the enemy general in the army, he has to cross an unknown number of defenses, which is just a story at all;

Second, the main general is surrounded by personal soldiers, you must know that there is a cloud of military law: the main general is dead, and the personal soldiers are beheaded! Therefore, whether it is out of loyalty or for the life of himself and his family, once the main general encounters danger, the soldiers around him will risk their lives to protect the main general.

Therefore, unless it is a personal dancer like Zhao Kuo who is at the forefront of the battle, the main general of the army is still relatively safe.

Especially for King Zhao, a living King Zhao is obviously much more useful than a dead King Zhao.

Even if the Yan army had a choice, they would rather let King Zhao go than kill King Zhao.

Defeating the Zhao army or even encircling and annihilating the tens of thousands of troops of the Zhao army is not a big deal. How can there be immortals in war, if you die more today, tomorrow I will die more, you can accept it.

But if you fight a war, you will fight, and you will kill the king of our family in a hurry, then it is no longer a slap in the face, but a direct eyeball!

There's nothing to say, it's a matter of life and death!

Why Qin Chu became the mortal enemy of the mortal enemy, the kind that can't be solved, the root has to start with King Chu Huai.

Why did the Qi State still rely on the revival of the two cities after the crusade of the Five Kingdoms? Tian Dan's role is naturally decisive, but you have to admit that the death of King Qi has really attracted a lot of sympathy votes.

No matter how confused a king is, he can't allow it to be handled by other countries, this is the bottom line of the default of all countries!

Even if Zhao captured King Yan this time, unless King Zhao wanted to destroy Yan directly, he would send King Yan back to the country as a gift after submitting the peace document and handing over the city. This is also one of the few gifts left over from the Spring and Autumn Period.

Therefore, "being injured by a stray arrow, and dying of serious injuries" can be said to be the only possible or reasonable way for King Yan to die. It's still a bit of a hard hit.

Of course, Zhao Kuo knows that Li Mu's handwriting is probably indispensable.

But obviously, Zhao Kuo didn't want to dwell on this, he just needed to know, and let everyone know: King Zhao was dead, and it was enough to die in the hands of Yan Jun.

King Zhao has died, and before the new King Zhao is not registered, he, Zhao Kuo, the general of Zhao State, will be the biggest talker of Zhao State today!

King Zhao died at the hands of Yan Jun, as a new storyteller, it is reasonable to avenge the old storyteller.

"That's already the case, and I don't want to think about it." Zhao Kuo's faint voice immediately sounded, quietly lifting everyone's doubts: "What we have to do is to avenge the king." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and they were experienced in a hundred battles, and they also knew very well that anything could happen on the battlefield, especially when the siege was broken through, and problems could arise if they were not careful.

It is no longer meaningful to dwell on how the king was injured by the stray arrow, and it is more important to take advantage of the fact that the Yan army has not gone far to launch a revenge, and he will not hesitate to wait for revenge.

"I am willing to obey the general's command." The four of them glanced at each other and then bowed their hands to Zhao Kuo to receive the order, obviously the four of them also knew that if such a big revenge was not avenged, I am afraid that even if Zhao Guo could survive for a while, he would have to withdraw from the stage of hegemony from now on.

"Okay." Zhao Kuo nodded, and then walked to the front of Yutu with a few people, this time Ah continued: "After the war, Li Mu gathered the remnants of the army, and nearly 20,000 people were killed, and at present, these 30,000 people are blocking the route of the Yan army's eastward escape back to China, and in Handan City, there are still 20,000 foot soldiers.

Therefore, in fact, the Yan army, the 70,000 or 80,000 troops, has been besieged by our army in this vast area from Handan City to Anping City.

At present, our army has a troop of 30,000 troops, including 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers, plus Li Mu's department, which is roughly about 60,000, although it is not enough for the 80,000 number of the Yan army, but it is not impossible to fight. ”

Zhao Kuo said as he gestured on the map.

"Will the Yan army force its way to the south or north, and then to the east and return to China?" Zhou Qi on the side immediately asked: "In this way, if our army wants to fight in Yan Kingdom, I am afraid it will not be easy." ”

Obviously, Zhou Qi, who had experienced these battles, was obviously a level higher than the others' mastery of the terrain near Anping City, so he also had some expectations of the methods that the Yan army might take.

When Zhao Kuo heard this, he shook his head without hesitation.

To the south, we still have Hanoi County, as well as the alliance of the Wei army, if the Yan army does not want to be dragged down by our army in Zhaodi, it is impossible to pass by this side.

To the north, it's not impossible, just because the farther north it is, the closer it is to the grassland, and the terrain is getting flatter, and in this battle, it is obvious that the Yan army is mainly infantry in order to attack the city, not to mention that it is faster than horses on such a plain, it is very likely to directly become the rations of the cavalry of the Zhao army.

Immediately Zhao Kuo responded: "Unlikely, there is my city in the south, and it is not advisable to go around the long way; The north is mostly plain, which is more conducive to our army's fighting, and it is also difficult to do. Moreover, I believe in General Li Mu. ”

Believe what?

I believe that Li Mu will drag down the army of Yan Guo no matter what......

Once you have this judgment, the rest is much easier.

Some people died, but not completely......
