"What?? Stopped to cook again?!" When the Qin spies who were waiting for Zhao Kuo heard this, they were furious. After waiting here for so many days, they finally waited for the enemy to come, but now they stopped to light the fire again.
, Damn it, the leader almost couldn't help but curse, and the spy on the side said helplessly: "Then Zhao Kuo is just a loser. He is a dandy who is used to living a wealthy life. How can he endure the hardships of the mountain road? This is okay.
Something to understand.”
The leader's face turned red, and he punched the ground with his fist, and ordered: "Let the two and three sons go and have a rest. They are lighting a fire at this time. I am afraid that they will not enter Yangchangpo today. They will definitely come tomorrow morning."
, Let the second and third sons eat and drink enough, have a good rest, and wait for tomorrow to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service!" The spy promised, and just left, the leader squinted his eyes, stared fiercely into the distance, and spat.
He didn't notice, however, that on a big tree on a high slope in the distance, a pair of eyes were staring at him coldly.
Many of the drivers were a little surprised. They didn't know why they had to stop. However, they didn't ask any more questions and just obeyed Zhao Kuo's instructions. However, Zhao Kuo, Ge, Li Yu, Zhao Fu and others gathered at the end.
Sitting on the ground in front of him, he waited for Xing's return. After waiting for more than half an hour, Ge couldn't sit still, but Zhao Kuo was very calm, smiling and asking Fu Zhao something.
Zhao Fu probably followed Zhao She and participated in the battle between Qin and Zhao. Zhao Kuo asked him about some things about the Qin army. Zhao Fu answered fluently. He knew the Qin army very clearly, and Zhao Kuo also analyzed it from his words.
In addition to some of the styles of the Qin Army, the Qin Army has always been famous for observing military discipline and being uniform among the countries. In Zhao Kuo's view, this is a bit like the military of later generations. Qin was not only perfect in politics and law, but also in military law.
Also excellent.
Zhao Fu said to Zhao Kuo that if in the State of Zhao, a warrior rushed out on horseback, beheaded the general and captured the flag when fighting the enemy, then he would definitely be respected by everyone and receive rewards, but in the State of Qin, this is not the case.
Well, in the Qin State, a warrior like this would be dragged out and killed because he disobeyed orders and went out without permission. The people of Qin have always hated such a show of bravery.
The general tells you how many steps to take, when to draw the bow, and when to release the arrow. You must abide by it. Otherwise, even if you have performed meritorious service, you will definitely be executed. What the Qin people need is an army that strictly abides by military orders and is integrated from top to bottom.
, when Zhao Fu described the Qin army, he said with some fear: They are like one person.
Fortunately, he came back. When he walked out of the woods, he almost scared the patrolling knight half to death. He was covered with branches, his face was green, and his body was stained with mud. The knight thought he had encountered some monster, and everyone was shocked.
Looking at Xing in surprise, Zhao Kuo was the only one who was a little excited. Where did Xing pick up a set of auspicious suits?
"Young Master, there is an ambush ahead. I don't know who they are. There are hundreds of people. They also carry bows and crossbows. There are also a lot of them." Xing looked very worried. On a road like Yangchang, let alone
Hundreds of people, even dozens of people, can cause huge harm, not to mention they also carry crossbows. When he was a thief, he couldn't get one. In this kind of terrain, facing
Bows and crossbows, they have no power to fight back.
Everyone was suddenly panicked. Even the few knights who heard Xing's report were also a little uneasy at the moment. Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed. This laughter broke the uneasiness. The knights looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise. Li Li stood beside him.
Yu asked in confusion: "Why are you laughing, young master?"
Zhao Kuo smiled and replied: "I laugh at the Qin people's spies for their lack of strategy and wisdom!"
"Spy?" everyone asked in surprise.
Zhao Kuo nodded and said: "I heard that the Qin people sent many thieves to the Zhao State to inquire about information and frame Zhongliang. They did all kinds of evil. They would take advantage of all the men of the Zhao State to be on the battlefield and in the villages.
Without a chance to grow up, they killed the old and the young, insulted women, and even spread rumors everywhere. Our Zhao country has General Leyi, General Tiandan, and even great sages like Pingyuan Jun. The reason why they cannot go to Changping is
It’s because of these people’s slander!”
"There is such a thing!"
"They dare to slander Mr. Pingyuan!!"
The guests were furious. Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand to silence them, and continued: "These people must be angry about Lord Pingyuan's gift of food, so they set up an ambush here to kill us and burn the food. We are of this size."
The convoy is in the territory of Zhao State, and it also involves Pingyuan Jun. Unless it is the Qin people, who would dare to loot it? Looking at the location where they set up an ambush, they don't want to leave any survivors."
"Please allow us to fight!!"
"We must kill them and repay Mr. Pingyuan's kindness!!"
Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "It's a pity that these people have no resourcefulness. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to set up an ambush here. They just need to take advantage of the wind to set fire around us. Weeds are overgrown here and dead leaves are piled up.
If a fire breaks out, even if we escape unscathed, the food cannot be saved. The Qin people are most afraid of me. Even Lord Wu'an Bai Qi is afraid of me. How can these Qin people's spies be my opponents?"
The knights laughed, nodded, and said, "You are right, that's what it is."
Zhao Kuo then looked at Fu Zhao and asked: "Although the opponent is a rat, they have bows and crossbows in their hands. If we attack by force, we will lose a lot of talented people. We will sacrifice warriors just to kill some rats. This is what I am doing."
It’s something I don’t want to see. I wonder if there’s anything you can do about it?”
Zhao Fu thought for a moment and then looked at the smoke from behind. Zhao Kuo's order just now really surprised him. After he learned the news from Xing, he even didn't know what happened.
Let everyone make a fire and cook. This is of course to confuse the enemy and make them think that they stopped because of cooking, so as not to alarm the enemy. Zhao Fu was very surprised by such reaction ability, so he said respectfully: "I obey.
Your orders."
Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, looked at Xing on the side, and asked: "Please tell me what you saw in detail." Xing then said: "At first, because there were no beasts, I
, and felt strange about the chirping of birds, so he quietly went to investigate, and later found several trampled marks, and continued walking forward, and found the corpse of the beast, which turned out to be shot by a crossbow."
"I took a path around to reach the slope, and then I discovered the thieves' ambush. They were lying in wait on the hillsides on both sides of the road in the middle of Yangchang Slope."
“Can a horse walk on this trail?”
"cannot."
"Then please take me to have a look." Zhao Kuo said, and everyone wanted to follow, but Zhao Kuo only asked Fu Zhao and Li Yu to follow. He also imitated Xing's example and put on some disguises. Fu Zhao The same was true for the others, and then they followed Xing and walked towards the trail. Xing was very cautious. He was crawling forward. Zhao Kuo showed his style and completely put down the driving of Ma Fuzi. Moving forward in an rude manner, Li Yu wanted to say something, but still did not persuade him.
Following Xing, we came to a slope. From a distance, we could see a group of people sitting on the slope, eating something in twos and threes.
Zhao Kuo carefully looked at the surrounding terrain, looked at them for a long time, and then said to Zhao Fu on the side: "I want the charioteers to ride on the knights' horses and patrol around to prevent the enemy from suspecting them. They are now Having such a leisurely meal, I must have thought that we would not set off until tomorrow. Taking advantage of them to relax their guard, I will personally lead the warriors to attack the group of thieves on the right. You will lead the rest of the people to attack the group of thieves on the left. What do you think? "
"I follow your orders."
Zhao Kuo looked at him helplessly, don't just obey, why don't you give some advice? After returning from here, Zhao Kuo summoned many knights and selected some strong ones from among the charioteers. Young man, he said seriously: "I want to tell the second and third sons a happy event." He pointed to the distance and said with a smile: "I heard that your Majesty is very disgusted with these spies of the Qin people. He once promised to kill them. The spies of the Qin people can be rewarded."
"Now there are hundreds of Qin spies there. Because of the kindness of the second and third sons for helping me escort the food, I am willing to seek this reward for the second and third sons. When these spies are killed, I will give all the rewards from the Lord to the second and third sons. , when the time comes, no one will dare to look down upon our warriors from the Zhao Kingdom. Are the second and third sons willing to receive this reward?"
