Chapter 15 Feeling sorry for General Lian for three seconds
Changping, originally named the Hyun family, was built by Zhao Xianzi. After the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, they belonged to South Korea and were renamed Changping. Now, after two hundred years, they have returned to the embrace of Zhao State again.
Changping City is not very tall, so Zhao Kuo saw a group of soldiers standing under the city from afar.
Standing at the front of everyone was a nine-foot-tall veteran with a strong physique.
His face is dark, his temples are already a little gray, the wrinkles on his face are like deep ravines, his eyes show fatigue, his body is still strong and upright, and his thick shoulders seem to be able to carry the entire country.
"This must be Lian Po. He's waiting for me in front of the city. He doesn't want to give me a blow."
Zhao Kuo felt a little uneasy.
After all, the person standing in front of him was Lian Po, who was known as one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.
Whether now or in the future, he will enjoy a high honor.
And he came to seize Lian Po's military power.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Zhao Kuo jumped off the chariot and walked towards Lian Po enthusiastically.
"Lian Po pays homage to the general." What Zhao Kuo didn't expect was that Lian Po was the first to salute.
Everyone was a little stunned.
Everyone in Zhao knew that Lian Po was arrogant. As long as he thought he was right, he would not even listen to King Zhao's orders.
He would also reply: The general will be away, and military orders will not be obeyed.
How could you salute first to a young man who is less than twenty years old?
The generals behind Lian Po all looked at Lian Po's back in surprise: This is different from what we thought!
"Old General, you are too polite. It should be Kuo who pays homage to the old general first." Zhao Kuo quickly helped Lian Po up.
"I heard about the general's stay in Handan. Thanks to the food and grass sent by the general, otherwise our army might have run out of food." Lian Po said in a deep voice, his face full of sorrow.
Only then did Zhao Kuo understand why Lian Po was so enthusiastic about him.
According to Lian Po's character, it would have been a good idea not to cause trouble for Zhao Kuo, let alone come out to greet him.
But Zhao Kuo worked hard to raise more than 800,000 stones of food and grass, which was a great favor to Lian Po.
Although Lian Po is arrogant, he always repays his kindness.
"This is what juniors should do." Zhao Kuo felt a little guilty.
Speaking of which, he worked hard to raise food and grass not for Lian Po, but for himself.
"These two...are you looking at Zhujun Leyi and Dupingjun Tiandan?" Lian Po felt that the two people behind Zhao Kuo looked familiar.
"Le Yi/Tian Dan, I have met General Lian Po." Le Yi and Tian Dan clapped their horses and stepped forward, saluting.
The generals behind Lian Po were suddenly shocked.
There are people in Zhao who don't know Le Yi and Tian Dan, but there is absolutely no one who doesn't know about them.
"I didn't expect you to come." Lian Po stroked his beard with emotion.
Although he is arrogant, he still needs to be divided.
The two men in front of him were not inferior to him in terms of record or abilities.
Even his title is higher than his.
Le Yi and Tian Dan were named kings as soon as they entered the Zhao Kingdom.
Lian Po fought in the south and the north and made great contributions to the Zhao State, and he has not been named king until now.
"Haha." The two of them smiled and said nothing more.
"The banquet is ready, please invite me."
Lian Po made a gesture of invitation, and everyone stepped back to make way for a passage.
"Withdraw, and send the food to the soldiers guarding the front." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.
"No." Lian Po was not angry and made a gesture, and someone went down to do it.
"Please invite the general into the camp," Lian Po said again.
"Old general, please go first." Zhao Kuo said.
Lian Po was not polite, turned around and strode towards the city.
Zhao Kuo followed closely behind.
There are no common people in the city. All the people have moved to Zhao State, all the houses have been transformed into military camps, and the entire city has become a war fortress.
The military camp is not far from the city gate and we arrived quickly.
Everyone looked at the coach's position and held their breath.
There is only one position of head coach, but there are two people who can fill this position.
One is a fledgling boy, but he is the commander-in-chief appointed by King Zhao himself.
The other one has great military exploits and has made great achievements. He is the first general of the Zhao Kingdom and the former commander-in-chief of the Zhao Army.
Everyone looked at Lian Po and Zhao Kuo, and the air in the camp seemed to freeze.
Zhao Kuo did not hesitate, walked straight to the commander's seat, and sat on it without hesitation.
Zhao Kuo looked at everyone, pointed to the first seat on his right and said: "General Lian Po sits, everyone sits."
Lian Po glanced at Zhao Kuo, smiled suddenly, walked to the first seat on his right, and sat down.
Seeing Lian Po sit down, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down one after another.
All the generals in the army unanimously chose to sit on Zhao Kuo's right hand side, which is below Lian Po, while Le Yi and others sat on Zhao Kuo's left hand side.
"Please also ask General Lian Po to introduce the generals to me." Zhao Kuo said.
"No." Lian Po stood up and said.
"This is the governor of Shangdang County, Lord Huayang Feng Ting." Lian Po said, pointing to the stubbled man sitting next to him.
Zhao Kuo suddenly felt sympathy for Lian Po.
Le Yi and Tian Dan defected to the State of Zhao and were named kings. Feng Ting was also named a king after he defected to the State of Zhao.
Lian Po...
I felt sorry for General Lian silently for three seconds.
"Feng Ting has met the general." Feng Ting stood up and saluted.
"Huayang Jun, you don't have to be polite," Zhao Kuo said.
Lian Po then pointed to the next person and introduced: "This is Jin Fu, the former governor of Shangdang County."
Jin Yao is not as famous as Feng Ting, but in fact Jin Yao is the governor of Shangdang County.
After King Han Henghui ceded Shangdang to Qin under the coercion of Qin, Jin Piao led the people of Shangdang to resolutely resist the Qin army and vowed to live and die with Shangdang.
So King Han Henghui sent Feng Ting to replace Jin Fu and dedicated Shangdang to Qin.
Who knew that Feng Ting also had a stubborn temper. After arriving at Shangdang, he directly ignored the orders of the King of Han and fought with the people of Shangdang against the Qin army. He also diverted disaster to the east and dedicated Shangdang to the State of Zhao.
In the end, South Korea not only offended Qin and Zhao, but also lost the hearts and minds of its own people.
Jin Mao's strength is not inferior to Feng Ting's, but his mind is obviously not as flexible as Feng Ting's. If he could dedicate Shangdang to Zhao earlier, it would not be Feng Ting's turn to become the king.
"I've met the general." Jin Yao saluted.
"I have long admired the name of General Jin's army. General Jin, please take a seat." Zhao Kuo gestured.
"This is General Yan Juyan, Commander-in-Chief Zhao Feiqi." Lian Po pointed to the next general and said.
Zhao Feiqi is a legion established by King Wuling of Zhao. Together with Wei Wuzu and Qin Zhishi, it is one of the most powerful legions in the Seven Kingdoms and the strongest cavalry in the Seven Kingdoms.
"I've seen the general."
Yan Ju was a tall military general who lived up to his name and was very handsome. However, his attitude was much colder, not even as enthusiastic as Feng Ting and Jin Mao.
Zhao Kuo frowned. It seemed that he had a long way to go to conquer these people!
"This is Jia Yan."
"This is Pang Qing..."
Lian Po finished introducing the seventeen generals in turn. These generals were not all in the army. The 400,000-strong army could not all be huddled in Changping City. Instead, they were stationed in various places. Many people had not had time to arrive.
