The Battle of Changping Chapter 023: Secretly plotting until dawn
After Lian Po gave the instructions to the two of them, they both agreed very simply. Zhao Kuo over there naturally couldn't do anything, so he immediately answered: "I will promote Captain Sun Gu to the rank of Commander-in-Chief, and Commander Zhou Qi will be the assistant general. Please do not order me."
I and General Lian are disappointed!"
"Yes!" the two agreed in surprise.
At this point, all preparations have been completed.
Zhao Kuo stood up slowly and asked Xu Li, who was standing aside, "What time is it?"
"Back to General: It's almost midnight." Xu Li glanced at the copper kettle dripping in the corner, and then replied.
Zhao Kuo nodded, walked to the door step by step, and opened the heavy curtain door. The smell of morning dew hit his face, which immediately made Zhao Kuo feel refreshed.
"General, you haven't slept all night. It's still early, let's take a rest..." Xu Li, who was following Zhao Kuo, suggested from the side.
"You will sleep forever after you die, so why sleep for so long during your lifetime?!" Zhao Kuo shook his head indifferently, greedily took a breath of fresh morning air, turned his head and said to Lian Po who had already stood up and the generals present: "
Send the order and raise the account!"
"Yes!" the four of them replied together.
...
Boom,
dong dong,
Dong dong dong...
At around nine o'clock, the war drums sounded throughout the Hanwang Mountain camp.
The originally silent Hanwangshan Camp suddenly came to life. The soldiers listened to the war drums, put on their clothes in an orderly manner, made their beds, picked up their swords and swords, and began to prepare for a day of training and fighting. The corps commander was arranging his clothes.
The man wearing clothes urged: "Quick, quick, quick, get up and get dressed quickly! Hurry!"
In several larger tents, the generals and captains also quickly put on their armor.
The sound of the drums increased from small to loud, from slow to fast, urging the sergeants to speed up.
Before the drumming was finished, outside the big tent, all the generals and captains had arrived.
Inside the big tent, Zhao Kuo was sitting in the position of the coach, and Lian Po was sitting first on the right side of Zhao Kuo. Listening to the bustling noise outside the tent, it seemed that the people had almost arrived.
Zhao Kuo turned his head and looked at Lian Po and said: "Old General Lian, this general is here for the first time. Let's do the first drumming by Old General Lian!"
"No!" Lian Po agreed immediately.
As the drum beat gradually ended, the time of the first round was up, Lian Po started to beat the drum, and the generals also entered in response. As soon as they entered the big tent, they all looked at each other in surprise - what's going on!
Why does General Lian Po stand sideways?
Who is on top of the throne?
So young?
Lian Po ignored the surprise of the generals and stood under the handsome case with a cold face, unfolding the list in his hand.
Once the drum is finished, it starts at the beginning of the drum.
"Captain Sun Gu!" (It has not been announced yet, so he will be called the Commander for the time being)
"The end is here!"
"Captain Zhou Qi!"
"The end is here!"
…
Although the generals were confused and looked at each other with confused expressions, Captains Sun Gu and Zhou Qi knew it in their hearts, but they also pretended to be confused. As the names were announced one by one, the generals
I still responded honestly and sang the song, and completed the bow-rolling ceremony respectfully. Although I didn't know what was going to happen in this military meeting, I could tell that it was obviously something big.
Seeing that the coach had a straight face, after three years under Lian Po, he naturally knew the importance of it, and no one dared to express his anger. In the big tent, there were only roll calls and crisp responses, echoing over and over again.
.
Shao Qing, after finishing the call, thirteen generals and twenty-four captains were all present.
General Lian Po's expression softened a little.
"The sound of the drums has not finished, and all the generals have arrived. Can I please check, General?" Lian Po put his hands together, took a roll of the roster in his hand, and handed it to the superior Zhao Kuo with both hands.
"General, where did the general come from?"
After saying this, everyone was surprised and turned their attention to the general on the throne - Zhao Kuo.
Lian Po coughed slightly and faced everyone and said, "This is the king's new general, Ma Fujun, Zhao Kuo."
Everyone was talking, and the originally silent commander's tent suddenly turned into a mess. General Lian Po had long been regarded as a god in the army, and although Zhao Kuo also had military exploits, he was incomparable to General Lian Po. Such an unexpected change of generals,
Everyone really couldn't accept it.
Fortunately, my old man had some prestige in the army, so no trouble occurred.
Looking at the noisy generals, Lian Po glanced coldly, and for a moment, the big tent was silent. The power of the old general was evident. Although Lian Po did not stay to help in history, it must be that Zhao Kuo could control the entire army so easily.
It would be inseparable from the cooperation of the old general.
"You guys haven't seen the general yet?" Lian Po's clear voice sounded again.
After hearing the old general's instructions, all the generals clasped their fists and saluted Zhao Kuo and said, "I have seen the general!"
Zhao Kuo glanced at the generals present and looked at their various expressions. Zhao Kuo already had a rough idea in his mind, and then he said: "Generals, please stand up."
Then, he said politely to Lian Po: "The old general has already ordered the two and three. There is no need to order the two and three!"
"I will obey the general's order." Lian Po said with his fists clasped below, obviously giving Zhao Kuo enough respect.
After that, he said to everyone: "I was ordered by the king to take over the military power of Zhao State. I arrived at the Hanwangshan camp and handed over to my general. From now on, the chief general of Changping has been changed to General Zhao Kuo and Zhao. Generals, take care of your health.
If I feel unwell, I will go back to Chang'an to recuperate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tent that had been silent just now started to boil.
"General, no!"
"Changing generals before battle is a taboo in the army!"
"General Lian is the pinnacle of our army, how can he be replaced so easily?"
"If it's just Ma Fujun himself who returns the favor, who is Zhao Kuo?"
Everyone was talking a lot. Although there had been rumors about the replacement of the generals for a long time, but now the rumors had become true, but at this time, the generals were still angry for no reason.
General Lian Po, who had great military exploits, was replaced so hastily, what about himself?
With such a "young" commander, can he defeat the wolf-like Qin army on the other side? Or can I still go back alive?
Lian Po was very satisfied when he saw this. After all, he had single-handedly brought out the soldiers and promoted the generals. He had a bit of backbone and a bit of loyalty, and he did not immediately curry favor with the existing generals just because he left. But what Lian Po wanted to do now
, just to cause discord with the general and to cover up where he will go next.
"What kind of chaos, what kind of chaos! I'm still here!" Lian Po said with a feigned anger.
For just a moment, the camp became quiet again.
"The king has his own considerations. If General Zhao can replace me, he must be superior. The generals can no longer argue." Lian Po took a breath and explained: "Today's Qin soldiers are brave, but only
Our army is united and unstoppable. I hope that the generals will remember their duties, obey General Zhao's orders, and fight the enemy bravely. I will wait for you to return victoriously in Handan. I will go out of the city ten miles to welcome you!" He said and touched his eyes twice.
tears.
