Chapter 65 Goodbye Lian Poxin Lingjun
Due to the urgent military situation, Zhao Kuo immediately found his mother, wife and many confidants after returning home and announced the decision.
Everyone was naturally very happy that Zhao Kuo was able to lead his troops to the battlefield again, because this meant that King Zhao once again regained his trust in Zhao Kuo.
But after being happy, worries inevitably came.
Zhao's mother took Zhao Kuo's hand and said earnestly: "Kuo'er, this time we fight against Qin, try to be as safe as possible. You must remember that your wife, little sister and mother are waiting for you at home."
Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Don't worry, my mother, I understand."
Then it was Tian Wan. Zhao Kuo took Tian Wan's hand, looked at Tian Wan's belly that was obviously big, and sighed: "Madam, this time I'm afraid we can't keep our first child from being born."
Although she has been married for many days, Tian Wan's pretty face turned red when she was held back by Zhao Kuo, and she whispered: "Although my husband is fighting for the country on the front line, my child and I will wait for you to return triumphantly."
That night, Zhao Kuo did not go to find Wan'er, but hugged Tian Wan and fell asleep.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Zhao Kuo left the Zhao family with Xu Li, his thousand Chiyou army knights and two thousand knight entourages in the earnest and reluctant eyes of his family.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Sheng, the prime minister of the State of Zhao, granted Zhao Kuo the tiger talisman and soldiers, swords, axes and halberds, symbolizing command.
"Are there more troops?"
Zhao Kuo asked.
Pingyuan Jun shook his head and said, "The king said, this time there are only 150,000.
However, there should be some soldiers left on Lian Po’s side, and they are all under your command.”
Zhao Kuo frowned and said, "I don't want to be robbed of credit again."
Pingyuan Jun laughed: "Then just drive Lian Po back. This time no one dares to talk about you."
Zhao Kuo formally led his army to the expedition.
After leaving Handan, Zhao Kuo led his army to the Yellow River upstream and headed to South Korea as fast as possible.
Along the way, all kinds of bad news came.
"Yan State announced its withdrawal from the alliance between the six countries to attack Qin and has withdrawn its troops."
"Chu State withdrew from the alliance between the six countries to attack Qin!"
"Qi State withdrew from the alliance between the six countries to attack Qin!"
Although he had already prepared, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news and said to Xu Li beside him: "Liang Po really missed the opportunity this time."
Xu Li said in a deep voice: "To put it bluntly, there is a problem with the king's judgment. If the lord had already been letting the lord be the lord, how could this happen now?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "You keep these words in your heart in the future and don't say them."
Xu Li was so arrogant.
Ten days later, Zhao Kuo finally arrived in Yangcheng, South Korea.
Here, Zhao Kuo met Lian Po and Xinling Jun.
The atmosphere was once very awkward.
Lian Po was sixty years old and Xinling Jun was in his thirties. The two of them were about one hundred years old together, so they were definitely people who had seen big scenes.
But even with such experience, the two of them still had to lower their heads and look ashamed as Zhao Kuo looked at him.
Zhao Kuo looked at the data in front of him, and the expression on his face became solemn.
Among the 100,000 coalition soldiers who died in Yiyang City, there were 40,000 Zhao troops! On the one hand, this shows that the Zhao army is indeed the strongest fighting will, but on the other hand, the Zhao army also suffered the most losses! This number completely made Zhao Kuo completely lose any mood to chat with Lian Po and Xinlingjun. He raised his head and said to Lian Po indifferently: "General, your mission has been over. The king asked you to go back to Handan to report immediately."
Although he was ready, Lian Po's face was still a little sad at this moment. He took out the tiger talisman from his arms and placed it on Zhao Kuo's table, then turned around and left.
Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po's departure back with calm eyes.
The great general of Zhao still did not understand this after all.
After Lian Po left, Zhao Kuo turned his attention to Xinlingjun: "Xinlingjun, why haven't you left yet?"
Xinlingjun's face looked extremely ugly, and his lips trembled for a while before saying, "My king asked me to lead my army to stay and continue to support your Zhao State and Han State in the battle against Qin State."
Zhao Kuo was stunned at first, then looked at the other party with some sympathy.
It seems that Zhao's diplomacy was not completely failed. At least in addition to Han, which was beaten by Qin, there was another Wei State willing to stay in the failed alliance this time. However, this matter was obviously a great bad thing for Xinlingjun, who had a clear celebration with Zhao Kuo.
Zhao Kuo said lightly: "Since that's the case, then you can integrate your troops and go to war with me."
Xinlingjun's face became increasingly ugly, but in the end he could only put out the word "天" and then quickly left.
Looking at Xinlingjun's figure leaving in a hurry, Zhao Kuo remembered what Xinlingjun said before, "The Six-Nation Alliance must not regard Zhao Kuo as a general." He shook his head speechlessly.
It’s not that I don’t report, the time has not come.
Footsteps sounded, and Xu Li's figure appeared in the big tent.
Xu Li looked in a pretty good mood and smiled at Zhao Kuo, "Master, I feel so happy when the Xinling Jun saw me that I couldn't even lift my head!"
Zhao Kuo laughed and shook his head, saying, "Just a loser, we should not be too concerned about him and downgrade us."
OK, let’s talk about the military information you got.”
As the saying goes, it is said that it is good to know yourself and your enemy and you will never be defeated. Therefore, after Zhao Kuo comes here, in addition to dealing with Lian Po and Xinling Jun, it is more important to find out about Bai Qi's movements.
Xu Li's face also became serious and he said to Zhao Kuo: "Master, you have already found out clearly.
After Bai Qi recovered Yiyang, he marched all the way. Now his main force of the Qin army is stationed in Fuli, about a day and a half from Yangcheng.
But something strange is that Bai Qi has not made any movement in Weili for three days."
Zhao Kuo raised his eyebrows and exclaimed: "Three days?
Something interesting.”
Bai Qi is a master of military strategy in the world, and it is impossible for him to know the principle that soldiers are more powerful than speed. Moreover, these three days were the vacuum period when Lian Po had just failed and Zhao Kuo's reinforcements did not arrive.
Why did Bai Qi miss such a precious fighter plane?
Xu Li said: "Maybe it was because Bai Qi heard the news that you led your army to arrive, so he was scared and dared not move forward?"
Zhao Kuo couldn't help laughing: "It may be possible for others to say this, but Bai Qi is absolutely impossible to be afraid.
Forget it, we don’t have to wonder what he was thinking about. If we send the order, the entire army will set off tomorrow to Fuli.
If Bai Qi doesn’t come to me, it’s the same if I go to him!”
Zhao Kuo didn't know that in a sense Xu Li was actually right.
The Qin army did change because of the arrival of Zhao Kuo's reinforcement, but this change was not because of Bai Qi, but in Xianyang, the center of Qin in the more rearward direction!
Chapter completed!
