On Hanwang Mountain, no one knew that their robes had been killed.

Most of them thought that some of their surrendered robes would be executed and taken to the rear of the Qin.

Do hard labor, do labor.

Although the escort also needs to consume food and grass on the way.

The battle was fought like this, and in the face of the front and back attacks of Qin and Wei, many Zhao troops thought that they had no possibility of turning the tables.

But as long as Zhao Kuo is here, they will continue to fight for their general.

Zhao Kuoshuai's tent is brightly lit.

"Send someone to tell the Qin people, as long as he puts the captives back. I will definitely give up the whole Changping to them. Then the Hui army drove the Wei people away. Zhao Kuo said anxiously.

Lian Po, who was injured in several places on his body, hurriedly said: "The virtuous nephew must not make decisions without authorization, withdraw without the king's order, and the king will investigate it." ”

"I'll take the full responsibility!" Zhao Kuo opened his mouth and said: "If it weren't for my letter suggesting that the king sue for peace, the position of the boss would not be left to others." Our army may not have fallen to this step. The responsibility for this matter lies with me. ”

"What are you talking about? My king changed his commander, that's an old tradition. In the final analysis, he is still afraid of the generals who hold military power. In a hurry, Lian Po also said something taboo: "You gather 100,000 defeated troops, and try to ensure the stability of the rear road in the case of the defeat of the army, which is something that many famous generals can't do." ”

Zhao Kuo was worried: "It's not without precedent for the Qin army to kill and surrender, these surrendered brothers are there, and it's very dangerous. And it was cold at this time, and the thought of them starving and freezing there made me feel uneasy, and I couldn't eat. ”

When these words came out, the people around them looked at Zhao Kuo with great respect.

Love soldiers like children, it's better to be.

Under such a general, who does not fight hard?

Lian Po sighed, no longer persuaded him, and was ready to take his life to protect Zhao Kuo in the court.

If it doesn't work, he will find a way to help Zhao Kuo escape to another country.

Sima Yue was Zhao Kuo's most important helper in the march and battle, and said, "Shaojun said that he wanted to exchange the prisoners back. Then we have to do it no matter what the cost. However, our army now has less than three months of grain and grass left, and most of it is still captured by the previous Changping battalion. ”

The grain and grass that was allocated to Zhao Cong before was burned by a fire in Light Wolf City.

If the captives are to be accepted, the current food and grass will inevitably be insufficient.

At this time, the high-level Zhao army did not know that Bai Qi had killed the prisoners.

They all understood that if the Qin people really put the surrendered troops back.

It's tantamount to a conspiracy.

consumed grain and grass and starved Zhao Jun to death.

But as long as the captives are released and they have a bite to eat, they will not starve their brothers.

But that's not the way to go.

Zhao Kuo waved his hand and motioned for Cheng Zhao to bring over the horse given to him by King Zhao.

This horse is very martial, and even more rare is extremely tame, and the riding experience is excellent.

Zhao Kuo planned to take this horse for breeding at first, but later Cheng Zhao told him that this was a mare and could not be used as a stallion, so Zhao Kuo lost this mind.

It's a pity that it's a good horse.

Zhao Kuo walked up to the horse and gently stroked the horse's nose.

The horse also rubbed its nose against Zhao Kuo's face affectionately.

For a while, Zhao Kuo was a little soft-hearted.

But then, the blood-red color on the other side of the Dan River made up his mind.

He pulled a handful of black beans from his bosom and handed it to the horse's mouth.

I saw a surprise in the horse's eyes, and he stretched out his tongue and rolled up the black beans.

I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world, people are dying of hunger, can you care about horses?

Zhao Kuo closed his eyes and swung his sword vigorously.

Cheng Zhao, who had been prepared, took out the wooden basin and caught the falling horse's head, as well as the blood that spurted out.

Not a single drop can be wasted.

"Virtuous nephew, this is a horse rewarded by the king, how can you kill it so casually, and where is the king's face like this." Lian Po said in surprise.

Zhao Kuo wiped the blood on the sword, and looked resolute: "The horse is a good horse, and I will not be reluctant to kill it." However, the amount of food this horse can eat in a day can be worth six armor soldiers, and in this difficult period, it is not enough to convince the people without killing.

I will order that from today onwards, the livestock in the camp will be sorted according to their role, and the horses for reconnaissance, transportation, and combat must be guaranteed. The rest, for decoration, or for the livestock that had a huge amount of food, were killed as military rations. It also saves some grain and grass. ”

Everyone agreed loudly, Zhao Kuo was so that after the captives were released, they would have food to eat.

Sima Yue was preparing to register and make a register.

Suddenly, with tears in his eyes, Sima Shang walked in and fell to his knees.

"Zhao Jun, Qin Gou, Qin Gou killed more than 200,000 of our brothers who surrendered."

"What!" Zhao Kuo stood stunned on the spot.

"The messenger we went to ask Bai Qi to release the captives was driven out, and Bai Qi asked him to bring a message, saying that if we don't surrender, when they come, they will kill us all."

It's time to come, it's still coming.

The surrounding Zhao generals also looked incredible.

"More than 200,000 people, even if you get up." Li Yun, who was usually taciturn, looked stunned and took the lead in speaking.

"They must be short of food. But there's no need, wouldn't it be nice to cut off your hand and put it back? Wang Rong clenched his fists.

"The battlefield is divided, and each is his master. But these big-headed soldiers have all surrendered, Qin Gou, how..."Sima Yue directly held the hilt of the sword, his eyes red.

"They are going to withdraw, and then sit back and watch our army and the Wei army fight. They're not coming. They're going to run. Lian Po said.

After killing more than 200,000 robes, the remaining Zhao army had no choice but to fight to the death.

If he didn't plan to retreat, Bai Qi wouldn't do it.

Zhao Kuo didn't say anything more.

His face was expressionless, as if he had expected such a thing to happen.

He silently walked out of the tent and walked to a warehouse in the rear where the baggage was stored.

It turned out to be Gai Nie who was guarding the door.

Gai Nie was originally a Wei person, so after the Wei people sent out Changping Pass, he was squeezed out intentionally or unintentionally.

However, the proud Gai Nie was not angry, especially after he heard about Zhao Kuo's deeds, but he was even more interested in Zhao Kuo.

Otherwise, if you were someone else, you would dare to let the sword saint Gai Nie guard the warehouse, and Gai Nie would definitely set the warehouse on fire, and then kill that person with a sword.

The warehouse was full of linen and red dye.

Originally, it was used to buy winter clothes for the sergeants.

Zhao Kuo didn't notice Gai Nie in front of him at all, and directly pushed the door in, took off the inner robe made of silk, and draped the linen clothes on himself.

Then he tied a white band to his forehead.

"Let people go and tell Qin Gou that if I am killed by an arrow in the back, bury me face down at the bottom of the pit, because I have no shame to see you brothers after being hit by an arrow in the back, and I am willing to go down to the Yellow Spring first and suffer from the sword cutting and burning.

If I die from an arrow in the head, bury me face up on the top of the pit. As the commander-in-chief, I cannot lead the army to victory during my lifetime, and after my death, I must use my body to protect the remnants of my brothers from being trampled on at the highest place. ”

Zhao Kuo clenched his fists, out of anger.

More than 200,000 people, behind them are more than 200,000 families.

How many husbands, brothers, elders, children and grandchildren who are watching day and night are among the more than 200,000 people.

The pregnant wife held her waist and hoped that her husband would end the war soon and come back before the child was born.

The rickety old father, carrying a hoe and wiping away sweat, should not have done these farm work, but what he was worried about was not that his body could not bear it, but that he was afraid that he would not be able to wait for the children he cared about.

They were looking forward day and night to the end of the war so that they could see their loved ones they hadn't seen for a long time.

Every time the stagecoach of the government passed by, their hearts beat wildly, for fear that what they would send was bad news for their relatives.

Today, these people can only sit at the doorrail, crying for their dead loved ones.

The lights of thousands of homes are sprinkled all over the paper money, and the tears are dry.

Zhao Kuo stared at the direction of Light Wolf City.

I'm going to tear you apart!
