44. What I lost, I want to get it all back

Outside Changping Pass.

On the second day after breaking through the Changping camp, Zhao Kuo didn't care about Bai Qi who was on the barrier of the store, and directly led the troops out of his hometown.

Li Mu and Li Yun in the store are better at defending the city than themselves. Sima Yue, who harassed the rear of the Qin army with the banner of Zhao Kuo, was a master of cavalry tactics.

"It's General Zhao." For the person who took away his handsome position before, Lian Po did not greet him, and he didn't even have a good face at all.

Although, he had long admired Zhao Kuo's military ability in his heart, otherwise he would not have had the previous guilt.

"God is fortunate to have General Lian, who turned the tide and preserved the vitality of our army." Zhao Kuo didn't mind, took the initiative to unload his blade at the gate of the camp, and when he saw Lian Po sitting in the middle, he immediately stepped forward quickly, with a spring breeze on his face.

For Lian Po, Zhao Kuo admires it very much. This is the four famous generals of the Warring States and the pillars of the Zhao State.

Lian Po never expected Zhao Kuo to be so polite, you must know that in Handan City before, Zhao Kuo couldn't look down on Lian Po with a hundred mouths, so Lian Po's subordinates would go to Zhao Kuo's door to scold.

Before Lian Po could speak, Zhao Kuo bowed and saluted, and said sincerely: "Personally leading the army, worrying every day about whether there is enough food and grass, whether the soldiers will be tired of war, whether the enemy will sneak attack, whether the patrol sergeant is lazy, whether anyone poisons the water source, etc., etc., I can't sleep at night, and finally understand that it is not easy for General Lian in the past." ”

After speaking, Zhao Kuo took a step forward and bowed to Lian Po again with the junior salute.

This made the good-faced Lian quite useful, and the joy blossomed. He originally admired Zhao Kuo's military exploits very much, and now he directly cited Zhao Kuo as a confidant.

All the previous unhappiness is gone.

Sima Shang, who was next to Lian Po, was very excited when he saw Zhao Kuo himself, this was his idol.

Not only him, Zhao Kuo is the idol of the soldiers of the whole Zhao Kingdom!

In the year of Zhao Kuo's weak crown, he took charge of himself, won more with less, and defeated the military god Bai Qi twice, and shocked the Quartet.

Zhao Kuo didn't know Sima Shang originally.

After Lian Po's introduction, Zhao Kuo grabbed Sima Shang, and even felt a little afraid in his heart: "General Sima is really a genius, he can actually reorganize the army after the enemy's night attack and keep the army in order." If there was a person like Sima Shang in Changping of the Qin army yesterday to lead the army, you wouldn't be able to see me today. ”

With Zhao Kuo's approval, Sima Shang trembled with excitement. He was very excited for a long time before he said: "Being praised by Ma Fuzi is the greatest honor in my life Sima Shang." I used to say that the biggest regret in this life is that I couldn't be under Ma Fuzi, and I was fortunate to see Ma Fuzi today. ”

Lian Po admired Sima Shang very much in his heart, he understood the sinister situation of the Zhao Dynasty, and knew that although Sima Shang had made great contributions, because it highlighted Shu Qi's incompetence and the methods were too cruel to the robe, the end might not be good.

Lian Po was willing to help Sima Shang, so he said: "It's a pity that a young talent like Sima Shang may not be able to lead troops in the future." ”

"Why!" Zhao Kuo was very surprised in his heart, Sima Shang had made a great contribution, although it was still not comparable to himself, but it was not much worse.

"Hey." Lian Po let out a long sigh, patted Sima Shang's shoulder, and said, "After all, he held the tiger talisman without the king's order last night, and many soldiers couldn't enter the camp because of his order, and were killed by the Qin army outside, or froze to death.

Shu Qi is incompetent, but his father, Touch Long, is a cunning man. I guess he will encourage the families of those soldiers who were unable to enter the camp and died outside to write to King Zhao, asking everyone to attribute the responsibility for the sneak attack to Sima Shang. ”

"How can it be!" Zhao Kuo drank. After he heard about Sima Shang's performance last night, he had the intention of soliciting, but he was embarrassed to speak.

What's more, Sima Shang is now under the control of Lian Po.

But since the fat is delivered to the mouth, if you don't eat it, you are not a traverser.

He knew in his heart that Ci Bu was a necessary quality for a general, but as a traverser, Zhao Kuo thought that he couldn't watch his subordinates begging for mercy outside the camp gate, and he still closed the camp gate. I can't shoot and kill the robes that are about to storm my camp when I mix with the enemy army.

He fights as a brother.

So he needs Sima Shang, and he needs such a calm, cold-blooded, and ruthless natural will be planted by his side to make up for his shortcomings.

Between the lights and flints!

Zhao Kuo pulled Sima Shang behind him, smiled at Lian Po and said, "I heard that yesterday the Qin army was lucky, and Shu Qi's incompetence burned our army's baggage, and there was a shortage of grain and grass. I'm going to have someone send some for emergency. Sima Shang served as the grain supervisor who supervised the transportation of grain and grass. How is it? ”

"Very good." Lian Po stroked his hands and laughed. This grain supervisor, he plans to stay with Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo has been winning battles, and it should be no problem to shelter a Sima Shang, unlike himself, who wants to lead troops to fight, and also has to take out his family wealth and bribe a Jianxin Jun who serves the king by relying on men.

Zhao Jun outside Changping Pass was burned because of his baggage, and his military spirit was already a little unstable, and he was extremely worried about whether he would run out of food. Although Zhao Kuo asked people to send grain and grass over, they couldn't melt the fire far away.

What's more, Zhao Kuo himself is not rich, and the accumulated grain and grass is only enough for himself to eat for another three or four months.

But Zhao Kuo gave an order, and Zhao Jun of the old Guan only left one day of grain and grass for himself, and the rest was all sent over.

"Thank you Ma Fuzi, otherwise our army will be hungry today." Lian Po is grateful.

"General Lian is polite. It's just that grain and grass are still a huge problem after all, the three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, this war is estimated to last for a long time, and it is not a way to go on for a long time. Zhao Kuo looked at Changpingguan in the distance, and his brows were also tightly locked.

"The three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." Lian Po repeatedly savored what Zhao Kuo said, and couldn't help nodding: "After Ma Fuzi is really a famous general, what he said is really insightful." If we can't beat the Changping Pass, it will be extremely difficult for us to transport grain here from the rear. What's more, the Qin army that raided our army before turned out to be borrowed from the Wei State. Changping here, the rear is also unstable. ”

"The longer the war drags on, the easier it is to change. It seems that Wei and Han are going to be dogs for Tyranny Qin. Sima Shang also said.

Like Lian Po, he is a pure military general, and his military ability is off the charts, but his political ability is relatively average, and Lian Po has only grown after repeated beatings by the court.

They would not have thought that if the Zhao army really defeated the Qin army, then they would immediately face the siege of the other five countries.

Zhao Kuo, as the coach, is now also bent on winning.

The trio met to inspect the front line together.

The side of Changping Pass facing Zhao Guo was originally very smooth. However, the Qin army had recently built a number of fortifications along the road. This made Zhao Jun's attack more difficult.

"Give me five days, and I'll win this level!" Lian said domineeringly.

His abilities are unquestionable.

If it weren't for the new defeat of the Zhao army, the morale was low, and he needed to rest, Lian Po even dared to say that he would take Changping Pass in three days.

But Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "District Mayor Pingguan, where do you need General Lian to take action personally." Changping Pass was lost in my hands, and of course I have to take it back with my own hands. General Lian, please plunder the battle for me, I want to borrow General Sima Shang's headquarters from General Lian. The morning after tomorrow, I invited General Lian to Changping to drink! ”

One Sima Shang is not enough, Zhao Kuo also wants to pull Sima Shang's subordinates into his pocket.

Didn't Bai Qi distribute the baggage to each soldier? There is a lot of inventory in Changping Daying.

It is enough to raise five more Sima Shang.
