The moment he received the news from the flying pigeon, Zhao Kuo almost fell to the ground.

That's General Lian Po!

He is not only a veteran general of Zhao Guo, but also an indispensable and loyal comrade-in-arms of Zhao Kuo.

If it is said that since Zhao Kuo crossed, who has helped Zhao Kuo the most, then there is no need to ask, it is naturally General Lian Po.

If it weren't for General Lian Po's deep understanding of righteousness, Zhao Kuo, a general who had just arrived in the Battle of Changping, would not have been able to command the hundreds of thousands of troops as he commanded;

If General Lian Po hadn't risked his life and went to Wei for help, the Battle of Changping would not have ended in the victory of Zhao.

This friendship in times of crisis is not comparable to anyone else.

If it were possible, Ma Tan would even be willing to protect General Lian Po at the cost of Yingchuan County.

couldn't help but feel that Zhao Kuo also regretted a little, knowing that the Qin army was pouring into the country, why was he still entangled in the gains and losses of one city, one pool and one county, so he directly and decisively gave up Yingchuan County, took back his troops to Zhoudi, and even Shangdang County, took back his fists, and then gave the Qin army a hard blow.

It's just that now, the front-line Qin army is approaching Xinzheng, even if Zhao Kuo wants to withdraw his troops and return, it is impossible.

And Zhao Guo's machine has been fully started, and it is not at all that Zhao Kuo can stop if he wants to.

As the emperor, Zhao Kuo is no longer only concerned about the life and death of General Lian Po, but also the great war that mobilized the strength of the whole country of Zhao is what Zhao Kuo should pay more attention to.

Of course, Zhao Kuo naturally understands this truth.

The problem is that once General Lian Po is unable to see things, the 180,000 troops in Xinzheng City on the front line will fall into a situation of leaderlessness, which is obviously fatal.

Paradoxically, the first batch of reinforcements has just arrived at the front, while the second batch of reinforcements is still being assembled.

Slowly sat down in his position, Zhao Kuo silently closed his eyes.

Since there are contradictions, we must grasp the main contradictions, and this is what the teachers have repeatedly told in countless political classes.

Undoubtedly, compared with the less than 100,000 troops in the second batch of reinforcements, the 180,000 troops in Xinzheng City on the front line are far higher in terms of importance and urgency. xь.

In that case, it seems, there is nothing to dwell on.

"Zhao Zhong." Opening his eyes, Zhao Kuo quickly summoned the eunuch order who was waiting on the side.

The eunuch on the side made Zhao Zhong's heart also slightly surprised, it is common for the king to call people, but there are not many times when he calls his name. Needless to say, the king called himself like this, and it was obvious that what happened after that was extraordinary.

"Yes." The eunuch Ling Zhao Zhong also hurriedly agreed.

"The people who have arranged it properly will immediately summon the generals Li Mu, Sun Gu, Zhou Qi, Zhao Wei and Pingyuan Jun into the palace." Zhao Kuo also immediately ordered, "Be quick."

"Yes." Zhao Zhong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately agreed.

In just a quarter of an hour, several generals and Plains Jun came to the council hall one after another.

But Zhao Kuo was standing in front of the map, staring at the topographic map of Yingchuan in a daze.

"My king." It was the arrival of Pingyuan-kun that broke the silence.

Turning around, Zhao Kuo immediately saw the people he wanted to see, and then nodded and said, "Everyone has arrived."

didn't wait for everyone to salute, Zhao Kuo already waved his sleeves and said, "No courtesy, long story short."

Immediately, Zhao Kuo also looked at Li Mu and said, "General Lian Po on the front line was injured, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."

Just half a sentence has already made everyone's hearts skip a beat.

The war has not yet begun, and the loss of a general first, what does this mean to the army, even the layman Pingyuan Jun knows it very well.

Zhao Kuo didn't mean to let everyone think about countermeasures at all, he knew very well that the more urgent it was, all that was needed was to make a decision. "Li Mu." Zhao Kuo immediately said.

"The end will be." Li Mu obviously immediately guessed what Zhao Kuo meant, and immediately clasped his fists and obeyed.

"Immediately lead your own soldiers, go to Xinzheng lightly, and take over the military power." Zhao Kuo immediately decided: "Not only the army of Xinzheng and Luocheng, but also the army that enters Ying

The army of Sichuan is all controlled by you, and it must be guarded by Lonely."

Of course, Zhao Kuo understood what this order meant.

It means that almost all of the army of Zhao State will be concentrated in the hands of Li Mu alone.

There is no way, with the fall of Lian Po, the original pattern of Lian Po and Li Mu cooperating with each other and restraining each other can no longer be realized, and all Zhao Kuo can do is to trust Li Mu. Xiushu.com

Of course, Li Mu also understood what he said, but he didn't hesitate at all and agreed, "Yes."

In the face of major rights and wrongs and life and death, Zhao Kuo and Li Mu all show the pattern and trust that a monarch and general of a strong country should have.

"Morale, be careful." Zhao Kuo told again: "If it's an old general."

After saying half a sentence, Zhao Kuo stopped. Without him, the remaining half of the sentence, Li Mu naturally understood: the mourning soldiers will win.

Sure enough, Li Mu immediately agreed, "Yes, the last general understands."

Zhao Kuo immediately picked up the tiger talisman from the desk, handed it to Li Mu's hand, and said quite seriously: "The heavy burden of a thousand jun can only be pressed on the general."

"The last general will bow down and die!" Holding the tiger talisman in both hands, Li Mu also said seriously as he had never done before.

"Let's go and prepare, and when you're ready, you don't need to ask for a request, and you can go to Xinzheng." Waving his hand, Zhao Kuo immediately commanded.

"Yes." Carefully put away the tiger talisman, Li Mu said goodbye to everyone one by one, and then walked out of the council hall without looking back.

From the arrival of everyone to Li Mu's departure, it was only a short cup of tea, but Zhao Kuo had already dealt with the biggest problem of this incident.

Of course, the aftermath is still arduous.

"Sun Gu." Zhao Kuo then continued to point.

"The end will be." Yu Linwei commanded Sun Gu to immediately agree.

"Go to the palace physician, bring the best sword wound medicine, and you Yu Linwei will send the people and medicine to Xinzheng as soon as possible." Zhao Kuo immediately ordered: "If the old general is still in good health, I will do everything possible to bring the old general back to Handan to recuperate. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Sun Gu also immediately agreed.

"Go ahead." Zhao Kuo immediately waved his hand at Sun Gu.

Sun Gu bowed slightly, said goodbye to everyone, and then left the council hall in a hurry.

"Zhou Qi, Zhao Wei." Zhao Kuo then looked at the last two generals.

"The end will be." The two also agreed in unison.

"General Li Mu has already gone to Xinzheng first, and this second batch of reinforcements can only be led by the two of you." Zhao Kuo then commanded.

"Yes." The two agreed in unison again.

"Zhou Qi is the main one, Zhao Wei is the deputy, gather the army as soon as possible and go to the front line of Los Angeles." Zhao Kuo instructed again: "After arriving at the battlefield, you must be flexible and adaptable, obey the unified command of General Li Mu, and do not be reckless. In a word, as long as you hold, delay, and win, it is my Zhao country's. Do you understand?"

"Yes, the last will understand." The two looked at each other and said again.

"Okay, let's go." Zhao Kuo immediately waved his hand to signal the two to leave.

Slightly arched, Zhou Qi and Zhao Wei also left the council hall one after another.

Looking at the figures of several generals leaving, Zhao Kuo was also slightly relieved, as long as these four people could complete the task in time according to his assignment, this battle would still have to be fought.

Immediately, only Zhao Kuo and Pingyuan Jun were left in this huge political hall.

"Plains-kun." Turning around, Zhao Kuo also looked at Pingyuanjun, who had been silent.

Obviously, Pingyuanjun is very self-aware, for the military, Zhao Kuo is well-deserved as the first person in the Zhao Kingdom, naturally, in the face of military deployment, Pingyuanjun did not intervene a word.

It is precisely because of Pingyuanjun's self-knowledge that Zhao Kuo is even more at ease.

Seeing that the king finally shouted himself, Pingyuan Jun also immediately agreed, "Weichen is here."

"First, with General Lim Po wounded, it is highly likely that the war will heat up sooner

At the stage of chemical transformation, the matters of food, grass, ordnance, medicine, and conscription must be advanced accordingly, and the six departments, including Lü Buwei, must be prepared." Zhao Kuo didn't talk nonsense, and immediately began to order: "Especially the medicine, it must be prepared."

"My king can rest assured, there is already a surplus of grain, grass and ordnance, even if the war enters a war of attrition in advance, it will not be a problem." Pingyuan Jun also immediately responded: "As for the medicine, Wechen will first gather a batch in Handan City to meet the needs from time to time."

"Okay." Zhao Kuo nodded with satisfaction after listening to Ping Yuanjun's reply.

"Second." Zhao Kuo then continued: "General Lian Po's injury, I'm afraid it's hard to hide it, and the Qin State won't let us hide it. In terms of public opinion, it is necessary to control it, turn bad things into good things, and use the serious injury of the old general Lian to arouse the patriotic feelings of the people of the whole country, turn grief into strength, and make the people of the whole country feel the same hatred for the enemy. In this way, it may be helpful for conscription and the collection of salaries."

The words "turn bad things into good things" and "turn grief into strength", although it was the first time that Hirahara-kun heard about it, he also felt it in front of him instantly.

Immediately, Pingyuan Jun also said, "My king can rest assured, Weichen will immediately go back to work on this matter."

Although Zhao Kuo put forward a good idea, how to implement it, Ping Yuanjun still needs to think carefully.

"Hmm." Zhao Kuo nodded, and then said, "Later, I will let Zhao Ping report to you, and the secret guards will fully assist you in this matter."

"Yes, thank you, my king." Pingyuan-kun immediately agreed.

After the turmoil of the last snow disaster, Pingyuan-kun knew the energy of the dark guard in the country, and with the help of the dark guard, Pingyuan-kun's confidence also increased greatly.

"Finally." Zhao Kuo nodded and continued: "The old general Lian Po should also inform Wei, Chu, and Qi Xiang in time about this matter."

"My king, is this to win the sympathy of the three kingdoms?" Pingyuanjun frowned slightly.

Obviously, Pingyuan Jun did not agree to show weakness to the Three Kingdoms, whether it was the Wei State that had rebelled, or the neutral Qi State, or the Chu State that was still on the side of the Zhao State.

Pingyuan Jun didn't think that they should be let know about the unfavorable situation of Zhao Guo now.

Without him, there is no eternal interest in this world.

And on the side of the winner, there will always be more benefits.

Therefore, once Zhao shows a little weakness, not only will it not get any sympathy, but it will probably attract crazy defections from all countries. xь.

Ping Yuanjun understands this, and Zhao Kuo naturally knows it very well.

Immediately shaking his head, Zhao Kuo explained slightly: "It's not about sympathy, but about deterrence.

Sooner or later, the Three Kingdoms will know about General Lian Po, and instead of covering the lid and letting them know from the Qin State, they might as well inform them generously.

The fact that General Lian Po was injured does not mean that our army is in a weak position. On the contrary, what we want to show to all countries is our country's determination to fight the Qin state to the death and our confidence in resolutely defending our territorial integrity.

In a word, Zhao Guo should not sympathize, just let everyone see the anger of our army."

Hearing this, Pingyuanjun was immediately relieved, and immediately agreed, "Yes!"
