55. Coach Zhao Jun (add a chapter today, more in a minute)
Between the lightning and flint, Lin Xiangru took out his housekeeping skills again, and pretended to twist his mouth and said: "Don't hide it from the king, Zhao Kuo sold all the houses in Handan City this time and sent them to his subordinates, and wanted his subordinates to help him talk about it and expand his fiefdom." He felt that his sealed fields were too little. ”
"This Zhao Kuo, unexpectedly, hey. The widow just wondered, why a general who had never lost a battle would write a letter to discuss peace, it turned out to imply that the widow would add a fief to him. Speaking of which, having won the battle, this fief should indeed be added. Isn't it to wait until the fight is over and give it to him together? After listening to Lin Xiangru's words, King Zhao's perception of Zhao Kuo was a little better again.
He also thought that Zhao Kuo just wanted a fiefdom and a reputation, but every time he didn't say it directly, he stood up and down.
However, King Zhao thought that he had given Zheng Anping, who was captured by Zhao Kuo, a fief and a fief, and it was not surprising that Zhao Kuo's heart would be unbalanced.
What is the purpose of being a soldier and fighting, to be promoted and make a fortune.
King Zhao regretted a little that he didn't add a fief to Zhao Kuo in the first place, but just sent a horse over.
Otherwise, maybe Zhao Kuo would not have entrusted Mao Sui to write a proposal to negotiate peace, and he would not have bothered about the selection of the marshal.
However, the king, there can be no mistake, and there can be no mistake.
Seeing that King Zhao was pondering, Zhao Sheng hurriedly spoke for Zhao Kuo: "King, Ma Fuzi's mother is still in Handan." He is usually famous for his filial piety and the art of war, and he will definitely not harm his mother for his own interests. ”
After speaking, he also glanced at Zheng Anping, intentionally or unintentionally, which made Zheng Anping, who had his whole family killed because of his surrender, feel depressed and red-faced.
He understood this outcome when he surrendered. But at that time, the desire for his life outweighed everything.
"That's right, Ma Fuzi is also a side of the clan, and his interests are closely related to Zhao Guo. He would never do anything to betray the interests of Zhao State. Yu Xin also said.
"That's right, otherwise how could General Zhao Kuo risk his life before, and dare to attack the Qin army with only a thousand people. It's all for our Zhao Guo that he did this. How could such a person betray his country? Jianxinjun, who thought that he had accepted a bribe from Zhao Kuo, also abided by his professional ethics and spoke.
Zheng Anping's face turned even redder.
King Zhao nodded continuously after hearing these words, and said: "It is indeed a good choice to let Zhao Kuo guard the rear road of our army, and the widow is approved." ”
Zhao Kuo would never have dreamed that he had never given a penny as a gift, but he would become a master of bribery in the eyes of Zhao Ren. Use money to offensive, let Lin Xiangru, Jianxinjun and others speak for themselves.
"Regarding the commander of our army, the minister has something to say." Lou Chang, the target of Qin's key bribery, saw Zhao Kuo guarding the back road, and Lian Po was in charge, and he screamed in his heart. In case Zhao Guo wins, Qin Guo will give him less bribes. For him, the interests of the individual far outweigh the interests of the state.
"What does Lou Qing say?"
"Returning to the king, my subordinates heard that Lian Po was on the front line, and complained many times that our king did not give him adequate logistical support, resulting in a lack of food and grass. And for this battle, he is also opposed,
He believes that my Zhao Jun's previous victory mainly relied on Zhao Kuo's super-level performance. In addition, our army took a defensive position and relied on fortifications. Except for some elites, the quality of our army's individual soldiers is far inferior to that of the Qin army, and this battle is worrying. ”
"How can it be!" King Zhao was furious.
"Absolutely." Zhao Hao, another key public relations target of the Qin State, took a step forward and said: "Lian Po was the first general to guard Changping. As a result, they fought all the way, and successively lost important locations such as the Kongcangling Defense Line and Light Wolf City, and several of his generals and captains were killed.
Last time, I was against asking him to replace Shu Qi. I think he was frightened by the Qin army and didn't dare to fight the Qin army head-on. If it weren't for General Zhao Kuo's personal action, I don't think he would have been able to attack Changping Pass. ”
"General Lian Po has been on the battlefield for a long time, how can a villain like you be able to evaluate at will." Before King Zhao could speak, Zhao Yu, who was extremely angry from the side of the clan, stood up and accused Zhao Hao.
In the past, at this time, a confrontation would start like a vegetable market, and then escalate to personal attacks, and even had the experience of full martial arts.
But today, the high-spirited King Zhao saw that the situation was about to get out of control, and directly threw the bronze jue with honey syrup on the table to the ground.
Bang!
There was silence in the courtroom.
After Zhao Kuo defeated the Qin State twice, King Zhao felt that his waist had straightened and he had become more confident in speaking.
Moreover, he was heard. Because it was because of his decision to let Zhao Kuo replace Lian Po before.
As a result, the Zhao court miraculously restored order.
"If there is something to say, it will be a matter of facts. Don't go far, and next time, get out of here. ”
"The minister is guilty."
"The minister is guilty."
Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao stood up and said, "Your Majesty thinks that it is indeed not a wise choice for Lian Po to continue to lead his troops to pursue the Qin army. Lian Po said that he should take General Zhao Kuo's head as a guide. Before, he was asked to take command to attack Changping Pass, hoping that he and General Zhao Kuo would cooperate closely and not pull each other back.
At present, our army is going to carry out a strategic offensive, although Zhao Kuo is appointed to guard the rear road. But I am also afraid that Zhao Kuo has a grudge in his heart, which will affect Lian Po and lead to failure. ”
Zhao Bao said righteous words, but his actual idea was that he didn't want the power of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, to continue to strengthen. After all, Zhao Kuo and Lian Po were both recommended by Zhao Sheng.
"What Pingyangjun said also has some truth." King Zhao groaned.
Zheng Zhu, the envoy who had just returned from the Qin State, whispered: "General Pang Xuan has made many meritorious deeds, can he be a commander?" ”
"Pang Xuan has been guarding Handan for a long time, like a pillar of the town. At present, Wei and South Korea have an ambiguous attitude, and they may attack our country at any time. At this time, General Pang must not move lightly. "Pang Xuan is King Zhao's most trusted general, and he will never be let out by King Zhao.
Otherwise, King Zhao wouldn't sleep at night, holding his sword all night to see if anyone would come to harm him at the door.
"What about Le Yi and Tian Dan?" Zhao Yu of the clan asked: "Le Yi pushed the soldiers of the weak Yan, broke the strong Qi, slaughtered seventy cities, and was unparalleled in the world!" Tian Dan drove the strong Qi people, repaid the grievances of the weak Yan, collected the city seventy, welcomed the king of Xiang, and was famous. ”
These two are indeed very suitable candidates for the helm.
If twenty years younger.
But if the two of them were younger, there would be nothing to do with Zhao Kuo before.
King Zhao let out a long sigh. Le Yi and Tian Dan are already in the last years of the wind candle that may pass away at any time. If you lead the troops halfway through, and suddenly there are three long and two short, then what else can Zhao Guo do in addition to retreating.
"Here, there is an excellent candidate." Jian Xinjun said.
Needless to say, he is collecting money to do things again. This time, not only did Qin Guo give a lot, but the person he said also gave a satisfactory price.
Poor Zhao Guo, the candidates for the coach are often smashed out of gold by the Qin State.
"Who does Jianxinjun recommend?" King Zhao asked.
"This person recommended by His Majesty, like Zhao Kuo, is also a weak crown year, and he is also a member of the clan, so there is absolutely no problem with loyalty. This man has been ordered to be stationed outside the Cyprus for a long time. At the same time that Zhao Kuo defeated the Qin army, this person defeated the Xiongnu attacks on Daizhou many times, beheaded nearly 10,000 people, and stabilized the northern frontier of our country. ”
"There is such a talented person in the clan, where are the others now." King Zhao was overjoyed.
But everyone knows that King Zhao is performing at this time.
How could he not know who it was.
"The person is outside the hall, this person is my Zhao State Clan, Zhao Cong."
As soon as he finished speaking, a heroic man walked in with his head held high.
This is a general who is not afraid of hardships and death, and dares to attack.
His reputation and record are really good, and everyone basically recognizes him as the coach and nods their heads.
Only a few people such as Lin Xiangru and Pang Xuan were worried.
The north was flat, and the cavalry and charioteers of the Zhao army could give full play to their advantages
And Changping is there, the mountain road is rugged, and Zhao Cong, who is good at attacking, is there, will he not adapt to the water and soil?
