Above the court,

Emperor Zhao did not hide his smugness at all.

This time, troops were sent to the country.

On the one hand, after learning that Han Lin had replaced the commander of the three armies, he felt that he was sure of victory.

On the other hand, he is also thinking about fighting with Yan Guo on both sides.

If you can inflict heavy damage on the Qi army and break through Changlin Pass.

When the time comes,

The Zhao army could drive straight into the country and destroy the Qi state in one fell swoop.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhao sent troops.

And

Yesterday, after Zhao Kuo approached Changlin Pass, he had already sent the news back to China.

According to the normal situation,

Now either the army is standing still, or it has already tried to storm the city.

However, what Emperor Zhao wanted to hear was naturally the news that Changlin Pass had been broken.

And he thinks it's very likely.

First, he is the commander of the Qi army, and he is an unknown person.

There is no resume or record.

This is the first time to lead the troops into battle.

With such generals here, the precautions of Changlin Pass can be imagined.

Second, it is what Han Lin did in the army.

Singing, dancing, drinking and having fun every day.

In this case,

It will inevitably affect the morale of the Qi army.

Together,

Emperor Zhao felt that it was very likely that Zhao Kuo had captured Changlin Pass now.

In the face of Emperor Zhao's question,

Zhao Guoqunchen naturally understood what it meant.

He echoed without fear: "Your Majesty, our army has arrived at Changlin Pass yesterday, if nothing else, now General Zhao is afraid that he has already launched a celebration banquet in the pass." ”

"My Zhao army has been invincible since Emperor Zhao Wuling's Hufu cavalry shooting, and it is only a long forest pass, so it is naturally easy to capture."

"Not necessarily, the terrain of Changlin Pass is dangerous, and I think it will take at least two and a half days to break through, hahahaha."

"If the Qi State let Yue Yunfei lead the army and defend the Changlin Pass, there may really be no way, but the Emperor of the Qi State has changed to a nameless rat to lead it, this is God bless Dazhao!"

ZHAO Guoqunchen,

Left sentence, right sentence.

laughed wantonly, not thinking that Zhao Jun would be defeated.

In fact

They do have that confidence.

Since Emperor Wuling of Zhao, Hu Fu has been riding and shooting.

The combat power of Zhao's army soared.

Looking at the world,

Except for the tiger and wolf army of the Qin State, it can be said that it is difficult to meet opponents.

In the last two decades,

Zhao fought in the south and in the north, encroaching on countless neighboring countries.

The strength of the country is second only to Qin and Chu.

Moreover, the leading general this time is still the son of Zhao Snake, the former military god of Zhao State.

Zhao Kuo learned the art of war since he was a child and followed Zhao Snake to fight in the south and north.

It can be described as a great achievement.

now

He has become the leader of the new generation of Zhao State.

In this configuration,

Go to fight the Qi country?

It's like killing chickens with a knife!

However, just when Zhao Guojun and his ministers laughed wantonly.

A grizzled messenger galloped through the city on a fast horse.

Just when the war horse under the crotch has reached the limit,

The messenger rushed into the temple with an urgent battle report of 800 miles.

"Your Majesty!"

"Oh no, Your Majesty!"

"Changlin Pass sent an eight-hundred-mile urgent report, General Zhao yesterday, after arriving outside the pass, was raided by the Qi army, and the Zhao army was defeated!"

"The army of Qi has taken advantage of the victory to pursue and has arrived in Wucheng, and now General Zhao is gathering the defeated troops and defending the city!"

Rumble!

Message from the herald,

It was like a thunderbolt, falling on the heads of the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State.

Time

It was as if time had frozen in the hall, and everyone stood stiffly in place.

The sound of silent pins falling can be heard.

Their eyes were full of horror,

The smile on Emperor Zhao's face was even more directly solidified.

After a long time, he gradually relented, and turned to say angrily: "Presumptuous! Do you know what happens to the crime of deception?! ”

"My Zhao army is invincible in the world!"

"Even if Qin Guozhen doesn't pay attention to it, how can he lose to a mere Qi State?"

"What's more, I gave Zhao Kuo an army of 200,000, how can he defeat the army of Zhao State?"

Emperor Zhao, who couldn't believe the facts, blushed and screamed hysterically.

The herald, kneeling below, trembled with fear.

He stammered and said, "Your Majesty, the news is true, and the villain will never dare to deceive Your Majesty." ”

subsequently

He hurriedly handed over the battle report with both hands.

A eunuch took the battle report and put it in front of Emperor Zhao.

Emperor Zhao hurriedly ripped off the sealed beeswax on it and opened the letter.

Eyes swept over it,

After seeing the content,

Emperor Zhao held the hand of the letter paper and trembled uncontrollably.

The anger in his chest was like a volcano boiling, burning and tumbling.

"Rubbish!"

"Waste ——!!!"

Pulling his throat and shouting angrily,

Emperor Zhao, who was extremely angry, tore the letter to shreds.

Emperor Zhao glared angrily, his eyes were full of bloodshots, and he gritted his teeth word by word and said: "The army traveled a long way, and after arriving outside the pass, it actually set up camp without defense. ”

"What is in Zhao Kuo's head?"

"The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, has he learned the art of war all these years from the dog?"

"Bang !!"

Emperor Zhao, who was angry, slapped his palm on the dragon case angrily.

Then, ignoring the pain in the palm of his hand, he shouted angrily, "Someone! ”

"Give me Zhao Kuo's whole family, all of them will be beheaded at noon! If you don't punish him for the nine clans, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart! ”

Facing Emperor Zhao, who was already so angry that he lost his mind,

In the court of Zhao State, there are still calm people.

Lin Xianglin, the prime minister of Zhao Guo, stood up and said, "Your Majesty! In this defeat, Zhao Kuo certainly has an unshirkable responsibility. ”

"But! If Zhao Kuo's family is implicated at this time, I am afraid that Zhao Kuo will defect in anger. ”

"The top priority is to immediately send reinforcements to Wucheng to defend against the Qi army."

"After repelling the Qi army, it's not too late to surrender."

Emperor Zhao's anger subsided slightly.

Reason told him that he really couldn't be rash now.

After taking a few deep breaths, after his mood calmed down a little, Emperor Zhao slowly spoke: "General Lian, I'm going to trouble you again this time." ”

"I allocated you 50,000 soldiers and horses, and asked General Lian to send troops immediately to Wucheng to defend against the enemy."

offstage,

A gray-haired veteran stood up and replied with a full of anger: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

.......

Zhao Qi and Liangliang,

As a neighboring country, the speed of transmission of information is naturally very fast.

Basically something is happening today.

If you expedite 800 miles, you can send it back to China the next day.

In the same way,

Yan Kingdom in the north, although it is a little farther away, but if there is any news, it will also be known soon.

merely

The news that Emperor Yan learned first did not come from Changlin Pass.

Rather, it was the new army that he had just formed.

On their way south, they had not yet reached the Muddy River.

I ran into Huo Quai, who was rushing north.
