Lingqiu City.

Zhao Kuo sat in the upper head seat, Lian Po sat in the second seat, and the other Zhao generals stood on both sides.

Although it was a military meeting, the atmosphere of this meeting was extremely lively.

Xu Li was reporting his record loudly: "After the overnight statistics of the military judges, the battle beheaded 56,153 enemy troops, captured 63,422 enemy troops, annihilated 119,575 enemy troops, and sorted into 120,000!"

The sound fell, and there was a burst of cheers in the tent.

The Three Kingdoms coalition had a total of 180,000 people, and the Zhao army annihilated 120,000 at one time. It can be said that it eliminated most of the main forces of the coalition, which was an absolute victory.

Zhao Kuo also smiled on his face. The number of 120,000 enemies annihilated is not the most brilliant in terms of Zhao Kuo's historical record, but the significance of this battle is comparable to the Battle of Changping.

If this battle fails, Zhao will have to defend Handan to the death. The Qi and Chu countries that had retreated from the army will inevitably make a comeback. Qin will no longer be able to take a cold-eyed attitude. The pattern of a six-country besieging Zhao will be formed in an instant, causing Zhao to be completely doomed.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said seriously: "Thank you all for your hard work.

Whether it is following this marquis or who have dragged the 400,000 enemy attacks in Lingqiu City before, they are all heroes of the Great Zhao. This marquis will write to Handan to repay you in front of the Empress Dowager and the King!”

After Zhao Kuo's words fell, those who followed Zhao Kuo to support were nothing, but the Zhao generals in Lingqiu City were mixed with emotion.

The Zhao army in Lingqiu City was actually the Zhao army defeated by the coalition forces in the Battle of Gaotang. Strictly speaking, these people were all defeated generals. Even if they defend Lingqiu, it was only a matter of their own. When they returned, they would inevitably be punished and demoted or even seized and imprisoned.

Now Zhao Kuo expressed his willingness to repay these Zhao army soldiers. With Zhao Kuo's influence in Zhao State and his identity as the victorious general, he believed that he could save the majority of the defeated generals present, and even gain some rewards.

Lian Po took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Thank you Wu Xinjun!"

Lian Po was the main general of this defeated army.

From Lian Po to the south, more than a dozen generals stood up one after another and saluted respectfully at Zhao Kuo: "I'll thank you for your wait."

Zhao Kuo's request for credit this time not only redeems their crimes of defeat, but also saves the fate of many of them. Therefore, these generals were also extremely excited.

Zhao Kuo coughed and laughed, "You are kind to you, it's just a slight effort.

But Shu me said bluntly that although I can escape your sins, how many military merits can you gain?

You should know that only 10,000 people went to fight with General Lian Po at that time. The pensions of the wounded and dead soldiers in the rest of the city were a big problem without military merit, right?”

Zhao Kuo's words immediately hit the weakness of these generals.

Maybe they can be personally relieved, but what about their subordinates?

It would be fine if there was no military achievements in a war, but many soldiers were injured or even killed. Not to mention the future, they would even lose their lives. Even due to the defeat, they might not even get the pension after the death of the war.

A general said bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's because of our poor command. Please..." Zhao Kuo interrupted the general: "This general misunderstood. If this marquis deliberately exposed your scars, why should he ask for me to get rid of your crimes for you?

What I want to say is that it is true that the reinforcements brought by the Marquis of Lingqiu took up most of the contributions, but... who said that the soldiers in Lingqiu City could not make contributions?"

After Zhao Kuo's words fell, everyone was stunned.

Lian Po seemed to understand something and asked tentatively: "Wu Xinjun means..." Zhao Kuo smiled, and a very cruel light flashed in his eyes: "I mean it is very simple. Who said that the war will end after the battle of Lingqiu is over?

As long as we fight back and attack these bold and brave countries that dare to invade Da Zhao, will our military achievements come?

There is no need for any military merits from reinforcements to subsidize the soldiers in Lingqiu. The soldiers in Lingqiu will regain their glory for themselves, are you willing?"

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the tent, and then all the Zhao generals in Lingqiu City spoke in unison and said loudly: "Honey, we are willing!"

Although these generals in Lingqiu City were defeated generals, before the Battle of Gaotang, they were the top elite troops of Zhao State, each of them were star-studded generals of Zhao State. The arrogance and confidence in their hearts were very comparable to those of people.

A failure took away many of their comrades and caused their lives to suffer unprecedented setbacks, but now Zhao Kuo's words are like a sudden ray of sunshine that suddenly appeared in the long night, allowing them to see hope.

Only the blood of the enemy can wash away such shame! Lian Po's face was very excited when he looked at this scene, but then he was depressed.

Perhaps these subordinates could still wash away the shame, but Lian Po, as the main general and the main responsible person in the Battle of Gaotang, was basically ordered to return to Handan for accountability and punishment.

Zhao Kuo obviously thought of this and smiled apologetically at Lian Po: "General, I will also submit a message to Handan and ask you to be my deputy general, but this matter is indeed not very clear."

Lian Po nodded and sighed: "Wu Xinjun is intent."

Both Zhao Kuo and Lian Po knew very well that Zhao Kuo's statement to Lian Po was just to win the gratitude of the generals in the Battle of Lingqiu, but no matter what, Zhao Kuo did help Lian Po.

Suddenly, Lian Po thought of something and asked, "I wonder which country Wu Xinjun plans to attack?"

In the Battle of Gaotang, five countries defeated Zhao together. Although Zhao has reversed the situation and won, it is definitely unrealistic to attack five countries at once. Only one of them can be chosen to attack.

Zhao Kuo obviously had the answer, and smiled with his teeth: "Wei State! This country's sudden rebellion in the Battle of Gaotang led to the failure of the Great Zhao. Daliang City is the closest metropolis to Handan. We used the Wei State to make the whole world know the consequences of betraying our Great Zhao!"

Lian Po nodded and bowed his hand seriously to Zhao Kuo and said, "Wu Xinjun, after going to the territory of Wei, be sure to help me kill a few more. It's what I owe you!"
