Beat the drums, gather the generals.

Dozens of generals were in the camp of the Chinese army, their emotions were high, and their desire to fight was strong.

Zhao Kuo sat at the table, but his face was serious.

A close general asked, "Why is the general so sullen?" ”

Zhao Kuo saw that someone asked him, his heart was happy, but his face was still impassive, as if he had been robbed of five million: "Three years of power will be wasted in one fell swoop!" ”

Then Zhao Kuo knelt down directly in the direction of Dongfang Handan, with tears in his eyes.

The generals didn't know what was going on, and they came forward to ask.

Zhao Kuo pinched himself hard, tears were a little more, he pretended to wipe his face, and continued: "Qin Gou and Wei Gou colluded with each other, Wei Gou gathered a large group of men and horses in Yecheng and Daliang, preparing to sneak attack our Handan. ”

The generals were shocked, and there was silence in the tent for a while.

Zhao Kuo continued: "Now all the elites of my Great Zhao are here with us, and the rear are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and Handan is in danger. I thought of the safety of my king, and I could not restrain myself, so I wept. ”

As soon as these words came out, the generals couldn't help but be surprised, but they also thanked Zhao Kuo for his loyalty.

Zhao Kuo continued: "I have worked hard since I was a child, studying military books, just to become famous in the world today, drive Qin Gou back to Hangu Pass, and open up the foundation for my Great Zhao to dominate the world. ”

The people in the big tent looked at each other. When it comes to fighting wars and making meritorious contributions, these professional soldiers certainly can't ask for it.

But if the national capital is gone, then even if the Qin State is defeated, what's the point.

And the work of saving the driver is no worse than opening up the territory.

Handan is on the border of Zhao State, very close to Wei State, and it can be said that as long as Wei State is willing, a charge can rush to the city of Handan.

During the reign of King Hui of Wei, not long from now, Wei once attacked Handan under the leadership of Pang Juan, although in the end Sun Bin adopted the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao to solve the disaster of Zhao.

But every Zhao State will never forget the shame that their national capital, Handan, was once attacked by Wei.

After a moment of silence, a young general shouted: "Kill Wei Gou first, and then come back and kill Qin Gou." ”

"Kill all the Wei dogs."

"Bloodbath."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Kuo took out an arrow from behind him, broke it in public, and said loudly: "For today's plan, of course, we must first save my king and my country." I only hate Wei Gou for being a troublemaker, and I actually stabbed me in the back at this time. I, Zhao Kuo, swear here, that I will not destroy the Wei State in this life, and I will not be a man! ”

As soon as the words fell, thunder rang out out of thin air.

This frightened Zhao Kuo almost sat on the ground.

God shouldn't have taken what he said seriously? Then wouldn't he really destroy the Wei State, how could he have this ability.

The generals were inspired by this oath of arrows, and promised one after another: "If you don't destroy the Wei State, you won't be a man!" ”

The crowd was outraged.

There were a few veteran generals who wanted to see the edict to confirm the authenticity of this matter, and when they saw this scene, they kept silent.

Zhao Cong, who was staying in another tent, also had red eyes and clenched his hands into fists.

was in the Chinese army's big tent before, and only he and Zhao Kuo were there.

Zhao Kuo's performance made Zhao Congxin believe it.

There's actually a huge coincidence here.

In the Zhao Dynasty, it was divided into two factions, one was the main battle faction dominated by Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, and the other was the main peace faction dominated by Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang.

Lian Po and Zhao Bao were very close, but he was recommended by Zhao Sheng.

And Zhao Kuo and his father Zhao Hao can be regarded as generals second only to Lian Po under Zhao Sheng.

Previously, Lian Po, as a general, adopted a defensive strategy that at least ensured that Zhao Guo would not be greatly damaged due to rash attacks.

This at least gave Zhao Guo a chance to fight for national strength.

Although Zhao is inferior to Qin, if Zhao can enlist the help of surrounding countries, it is not impossible to maintain a stalemate or even drag down Qin.

It's a pity that the Warring States are in a scuffle, and each country has its own careful thoughts.

If the Qin State at this time is the first power, then Zhao Guo will not object if he says that he is the second.

The Qi State, which was farthest away from the Qin State, was basically on the side of the Qin State.

South Korea, Wei State, and even Yan State thought about waiting for Zhao State and Qin State to be defeated before coming out to grab meat to eat.

The attitude of Chu State is ambiguous, and the opinions of the remaining Wei Guo and Lu Guo generally do not care.

Although Lian Po laid down layers of defense lines, he finally lost his troops and retreated to the second Dan River defense line.

And due to the defeat on the battlefield, in the Zhao Dynasty, the previous strongly advised the king of Zhao not to accept the lord and faction of the Shangdang region took the upper hand, and the king of Zhao actually sent Zheng Zhu to the Qin state to negotiate peace.

In order to paralyze Zhao and prevent all countries from conspiring, Qin took advantage of the opportunity of Zhao's quest for peace, received Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao, courteously and publicized to all countries that Qin and Zhao had reconciled, so as to prevent various countries from sending troops to rescue Zhao.

So the foreign aid was gone, and the peace negotiations were not followed, so the young King Zhao could only send people to fight, wanting to get what he didn't get at the negotiation table from the battlefield.

And Zhao Kuo, as the general who seems to be the most capable of fighting and the most familiar with the art of war in the main battle faction, is also the general who supports the decisive battle with the Qin army, and because his father Zhao Hao has valuable experience in defeating the Qin army, he should not give in and replace Lian Po.

In this, of course, there is the discord of the Qin State in it, but it is not that Pingyuan Jun is also fueling the troubles behind the scenes, conforming to the will of King Zhao, and wanting to complete his work in one battle.

Zhao Cong knew these things.

Although according to the law, Zhao Cong could not open the edict on his own, but before leaving, Pingyuan Jun still met with Zhao Cong.

Due to the hardships of raising grain and grass, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, was very tired, and only told Zhao Cong to act carefully and act in accordance with Zhao Kuo's wishes.

Zhao Cong always thought that Zhao Kuo's intention was to attack and attack again, stab through the Qin army, and drive the Qin army back to his hometown.

When Zhao Kuo told him that when the Wei army attacked Handan, he was also surprised at first, but when he thought of the rich color on Pingyuan Jun's face that could not be dissolved before, he was a little convinced.

And Zhao Kuo's tearful performance made Zhao Cong even more convinced.

In Zhao Cong's opinion, Zhao Kuo has no need to lie to himself. If this kind of thing is a lie, it is the crime of deceiving the king, and it is inevitable to destroy the family and the family.

Moreover, before that, Zhao Kuo was the most dominant general in the whole Zhao State and the one who didn't care about the lives of the soldiers and his own lives.

In other words, in the eyes of Zhao Guoren, Zhao Kuo was not afraid of death, and only thought about fighting and making meritorious contributions, surpassing his father Ma Fujun.

Zhao Cong even sympathized with Zhao Kuo very much, and finally held the power of 450,000 troops, the soldiers were strong and strong, and the strongest commander on the opposite side, Bai Qi, was said to be seriously ill, and now Wang Ji, who was leading the troops, was not taken seriously by the previous Zhao Kuo at all.

The time when the boy made a career and became famous in the world was in front of him, but Zhao Kuo lost the opportunity to become famous in a war because of a stab in the back of Wei State.

Sad.

He couldn't imagine at all how Zhao Kuo would die if the Wei army's attack was fake.
