Sitting in the tent, Lian Po was discussing the war with Zhao Kuo.
Although Zhao Kuo was unwilling, Lian Po still pulled him to sit on the main seat. He sat next to Zhao Kuo and said seriously: "Now that everything outside the Great Wall has fallen, we have no idea about the situation of the Qin people."
As far as I know, I still don’t know where Bai Qi is. Of course, he must know where I am.” Lian Po looked a little angry and said, “The Qin people have too many spies and they can’t catch them all.
!”
Listening to Lian Po's complaints, Zhao Kuo didn't say much. He just looked at the map in front of him and said: "Bai Qi wants to break the Great Wall now. It will definitely not be easy. Break Wu'an, attack Handan from the west, or
Attack Wucheng in the middle section of the Great Wall, and finally break through Pingyang and attack Handan from the east through Ge Ni." Zhao Kuo frowned and asked: "Which direction of attack do you think he is most likely to choose?"
Lian Po looked at the map carefully, and just now said: "Wucheng is very close to the Great Wall, and there are a lot of troops stationed there, but Ge Nie's side is a long way away, and there is Pingyang as well. If I were Bai Qi,
, the attack must start from Wu’an.”
"I don't think he will attack anywhere." Zhao Kuo said calmly: "Now that there is a shortage of food and grass, the Qin people have come from afar. To transport food and grass, they need to cross the Taihang Mountains, which is extremely inconvenient. A strong attack will cost too much. Bai Qi
Duan Ran can't afford it. According to Bai Qi's idea, he should lure me into battle, then surround and annihilate me..."
Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Lian Po became a little angry. He said angrily: "You don't know something. The Qin people have a strange cart with only one wheel. They can continuously transport grain and grass from the mountain road. They don't even need oxen or horses."
, it can be pushed away by just one soldier.... If I had known that the Qin people had such a sharp weapon, I would not have suffered such a disastrous defeat in Changping!"
"What did you say?" Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po blankly.
"I'm not lying to you. There really is a wheeled car. Alas...this Qin people always come up with something unexpected." Lian Po shook his head helplessly. Zhao Kuo was stunned for a long time.
, said: "I made this unicycle, but I only made less than ten of them, and they were all in the horse service..."
Lian Po glanced at him in surprise, but did not mention the wheelbarrow. He just pointed at the map and said: "Li Mu guards Wu'an, you come to guard Wucheng, and I will guard Pingyang... You are in the middle, so you can command better."
." Lian Po pondered for a moment and then said: "At present, we can only wait for Bai Qi's attack. If he chooses to continue the confrontation, we will have to wait until the Wei people come to break the deadlock."
Lian Po explained many things to Zhao Kuo, such as food and grass, deployment in various places, the situation of generals, etc. The two chatted all night, and during their discussions, messengers sent from various parts of the Great Wall were also constantly reporting
The latest battle situation in various places. The next day, just early in the morning, Lian Po was about to leave. He did not take away any soldiers or generals, only his own soldiers.
Zhao Kuo led the generals to see him off. In the early morning, it seemed to be colder than the night. Standing outside the camp, the soldiers were shivering. Only General Lianpo did not feel any strange. As the oldest among them, he
His ability to withstand pain was stronger than anyone else's. After giving a few more instructions to Zhao Kuo who came to see him off, Lian Po mounted his horse and galloped towards Pingyang.
After bidding farewell to Lian Po, Zhao Kuo turned around and saw sixteen generals and his close followers standing in front of him. At this moment, these generals all stood respectfully in front of Zhao Kuo and bowed to Zhao Kuo fiercely.
Zhao Kuo bowed down and said: "General!!" Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "Gentlemen, please get up..." After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, several generals stood up and surrounded Zhao Kuo with a smile.
Kuo's side.
After Lian Po left, they were no longer as serious as before. They rushed to introduce themselves to Zhao Kuo, and some were asking about the war with Yan State. Zhao Kuo talked to them, and everyone turned towards them.
Walking inside the camp and entering the main tent, everyone sat on both sides. Zhao Kuo sat at the top and the guests were guarding outside the tent. Zhao Kuo looked at everyone and said seriously: "If Bai Qi knows General Lian Po,
With the news of his departure, we may have to launch an attack on the Zhang Great Wall."
"Therefore, no one can be lax and lax, and must be on guard against Bai Qi's attack."
Speaking of Bai Qi, these generals who were still in high spirits stopped laughing in an instant. Their faces were full of frustration and anxiety. Some of them were not afraid, like Sima Shang, who still raised his head high. Zhao Kuo looked at
Looking at them, he just smiled and said: "The people of Qin are most afraid of me. Now that I have arrived at the Great Wall, I must have frightened Bai Qi. With me here, the second and third sons don't have to be afraid of Bai Qi. However, we still have to be strict."
Be more careful, or Bai Qi will be frightened and attack the Zhang Great Wall with all his strength, trying to get rid of me."
The generals immediately stood up and said loudly: "We will defend the general to the death!!"
"Okay, my safety is entrusted to my second and third sons... Now that I have arrived here, the Qin people will not be able to hold on for long. Wei and Chu have both decided to send reinforcements and wait for millions of coalition troops to besiege them from all sides.
The people of Qin cannot resist it no matter what, please rest assured!"
"only!"
The good news brought by Zhao Kuo indeed made the generals temporarily put aside their fear of Bai Qi. Seeing that the atmosphere became lively again, Zhao Kuo even told them a few jokes. Sima Shang
He looked around happily and smiled stupidly. I don't know how long it had been before such a smile or laughter appeared in the camp. Sure enough, as soon as General Zhao Kuo came, victory came with him.
The generals could not stay here for too long. They all had their own defensive areas. Zhao Kuo did not keep them for too long. He just told them to be more careful and let them go back. The only one who stayed was Sima Shang, because, here
It was Sima Shang's defense area. Realizing that he could stay with Zhao Kuo all the time, Sima Shang was giggling all day long. With the return of these generals, what Zhao Kuo said was also spread to
Everywhere.
The worried Zhao people found their backbone in just one day. When they braved the cold wind and sang Zhao songs on the Great Wall, clapped their hands, and danced, Qin was watching them from a distance.
Everyone is confused, what’s going on??
Ma Fujun's flag flew above the Great Wall, and at night, Sima Shang specially prepared a sumptuous meal for Zhao Kuo.
However, when he delivered these meals to Zhao Kuo's main tent, Zhao Kuo did not eat them. He looked at the beef, mutton, and the almost overflowing soup in front of him, and asked with a smile: "This is the food for the army."
, How can it be more sumptuous than the banquet of the nobles in Handan City?" Sima Shang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is what I specially prepared for you..."
"Shang, I'm very grateful to you for preparing such a sumptuous meal for me, but I can't eat it. I heard that generals like Sun and Wu were able to eat and live with their soldiers, so their soldiers were willing to live with them.
They fight, and I don’t have their talents, but I can learn from their moral character. I can’t watch the soldiers being hungry while I hide in the main tent and eat and drink.”
Zhao Kuo said, patted Sima Shang on the shoulder and walked out of the main tent.
In the camp, the soldiers gathered together in groups, around the bonfire, and ate bread in their hands. People in this era used bread as the general term for pasta, and they were not as particular as in later generations. They just knead the dough together.
It can be eaten steamed or grilled. Of course, during the march, it must be grilled. The soldiers sat together and listened to the corps commander bragging about his past experiences.
"In that battle, I just spotted the Qin man. His title could be distinguished from the Qin man's crown. I saw that the man's crown was very high, and I knew he was a general. I pulled
The bow shot, and the guy fell down..."
"Then have you seen his crown clearly? What does it look like?"
"It's just higher than the crowns of those noble people in Handan, and yes, it's a little curved... Why do you ask this... and...", the corps commander said, turned around and looked at it, and was stunned.
, Who is this? He thought for a moment, turned pale with fright, jumped up in a hurry, and shouted: "Mr. Ma Fu!" When hearing his cry, several soldiers around him stood up suddenly, and the noisy people in the distance stood up suddenly.
It stopped suddenly, and the soldiers became quiet and looked at Zhao Kuo one after another.
Zhao Kuo smiled and motioned for the captain to sit down, and then said: "According to what you said, the person you shot should be an official. It's incredible. If this man was in the army, he would be a captain or something like that."
of."
"General..I.."
"Second and third sons, please sit down! It's okay. I'm just hungry. Come out for a meal!" Zhao Kuo smiled and waved, and several soldiers around him slowly sat down, lowering their heads but not daring to speak.
Zhao Kuo picked up a pancake. Zhao Kuo took a bite and almost broke his teeth. The team leader on the side looked at him and then whispered: "This pancake is too hard. It needs to be soaked in soup."
Only if you know how to eat can you eat it.”
Because there was no fermentation technology yet, the pasta was very hard and difficult to chew, so it had to be soaked in soup. The team leader took out a soaked scone, Zhao Kuo took a bite, and then said with a smile: "It's not bad."
He took another bite and suddenly understood something.
I am eating mutton steamed buns??
ps: I have a cold, my mental state is not good, the update is a bit slow, there are still two chapters, please don’t rush me, I will definitely reach the target today.
