The news of the victory excited the entire Changping camp. The Zhao army and the Qin army faced off here in Changping for three full years, with more defeats and fewer wins. They were driven back step by step, and the Shangdang and Kongcangling defense lines also fell.

In the hands of the Qin army.

Moreover, the Zhao army even had senior generals such as the captain and general Pi who were beheaded by the Qin army.

Therefore, at the beginning when Zhao Kuo gathered his troops to prepare for the attack, basically all the generals were unsure.

If Zhao Kuo hadn't replaced some of his officers with Wang's order, he wouldn't have been able to fully mobilize the army.

No one expected that Zhao Kuo's first battle would start so smoothly. After crossing the river, he directly defeated the Qin army, which was said to be invincible in field battles, and made many gains.

After hearing the news, dozens of generals from various ministries came to see Zhao Kuo one after another, asking to be the first to cross the river, so as to expand the victory before the Qin army could react.

"The general made a clever plan and caught the Qin dog off guard. Then he let our Hu Dao cavalry take the lead in crossing the river, directly broke into their middle army, and chopped off the head of the Qin army commander Wang Lu and gave it to the general as a night pot."

"On the west bank of the Dan River is Qin Dog's fortress. You cavalry can shoot arrows to drive people away. To build this kind of barrier, let us swordsmen camp come."

"It's better for our heavy armor battalion to come. Qin Dog's bows and crossbows are sharp. Your swordsman battalion is all wearing leather armor, so it can't stop them."

The camp was noisy, and the generals' desire to fight was unprecedentedly strong.

Zhao Kuo's head almost exploded when he heard this.

To the west of the Dan River is the Qin Army's fortress, and then there is the Qin Army's base camp, Guanglang City.

Along the way, the mountains are rolling and undulating, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is hard to imagine how powerful the Qin army was before, able to capture Guanglang City and push the Zhao army back to the east bank of the Dan River.

Moreover, opposite is Bai Qi, the eternal god of death. This is the god of death who is about to bury himself and everyone in the camp into a pit.

Zhao Kuo felt miserable in his heart, but he could see that his soldiers had a strong desire to fight, and he also understood that there was no reason to retreat directly now.

Otherwise, even if he escaped being buried in a pit, he would not be able to escape back to Handan and face the anger of King Zhao, who would behead him and split his chariot into pieces.

At this time, outside the door, there was another messenger in black, holding a gold medal and Zhao Wangyi, with great momentum, riding a horse and whipping, coming to convey the message.

Needless to say, it was King Zhao Xiaocheng who issued another edict urging Zhao Kuo to march.

Zhao Kuo had no choice but to wave the soldiers in the camp to retreat and let Sima Yue come in with the envoy.

As expected, General Zhao Kuo was mentioned in the edict as a powerful general. Everyone followed him and quickly destroyed the Qin army.

Zhao Kuo had just read the edict when another noise came from outside the camp gate, and it turned out to be another messenger in black holding a gold medal.

Over and over again, in just two hours, twelve waves of messengers holding gold medals came.

The twelfth messenger is none other than Zhao Cong, a clan member of the Zhao Kingdom, who usually gets close to Lord Ping Ping.

When the messenger who had delivered the letter arrived, he took the edict to Zhao Kuo, confirmed it was correct, and then returned.

After Zhao Cong handed the edict to Zhao Kuo, he did not leave. Instead, he sat down in the camp, and Sima Yue poured him a glass of water.

Zhao Kuo also had an impression of this Zhao Cong. He was one of the most valued direct descendants of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng. He was usually responsible for liaising with hostages from other countries in Handan City and managing retainers.

Zhao Kuo and his son were recommended by Lord Pingyuan, so they were no strangers to Zhao Cong.

It's just that Zhao Kuo had just traveled through time, and facing Bai Qi, he felt sad in his heart, so he didn't force a smile and opened the edict on his own.

Alas, it’s still those words about chariots and wheels, marching, marching, marching again, but the word “retreat” cannot be seen in the whole article.

Zhao Kuo looked at the twelve gold medals in front of him urging him to march, and he wanted to cry without tears.

Thousands of years later, the general who was admired by the whole world also faced twelve gold medals, but it was the gold medal for retreating, and his success failed.

It would be great if I could switch with him.

There must be many people in later generations lamenting that the general did not raise troops to clear the emperor's side at that time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo, as a time traveler, had no respect for the royal power in his heart, and immediately had the idea of ​​​​supporting his own troops.

But he immediately gave up this idea. The memory of Zhao Kuo's body had been fused with Zhao Kuo, so he knew that the loyal soldiers under his command were not him, but King Zhao.

Moreover, the terrain of Changping is steep, there is no fertile farmland, and there are years of fighting, so there is basically no food output, and the country mainly relies on Zhao to provide logistics.

There were already about 250,000 Zhao troops stationed in Changping, and with Zhao Kuo bringing 200,000 troops this time, a total of 450,000 troops needed to eat. Although Zhao Kuo also brought Zhao Guopin this time,

We tried our best to raise food and fodder, but in theory it was only enough to feed these people for two or three months.

If he rebelled, he would have nothing to eat for up to three months.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo also understood why King Zhao Xiaocheng had to fight this battle.

If the consumption continues, Zhao may really suffer from famine.

But it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Kuo, who has now been replaced by the time traveler, to take the initiative to attack the Qin army.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kuo paced back and forth, thinking hard.

Zhao Cong next to him thought that it was Zhao Kuo's first time as commander, so he was a little nervous and said: "Ma Fuzi is really talented. I just heard on the way here that our army is in the lead and has high morale. This attack caught him by surprise."

, our army will take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and we will definitely be able to catch the Qin army by surprise."

Zhao Kuo's father, Zhao She, defeated the Qin army and was named Ma Fujun, so people close to him called Zhao Kuo Ma Fuzi.

Zhao Kuo waved his hand: "Brother Cong is right. Soldiers, as a matter of national importance, still need to be cautious."

"I remember that this was not what Ma Fuzi said when he was in Handan City. At that time, everyone said that Ma Fuzi was proficient in the art of war, and could take life and death lightly and only seek victory. He was a born general."

"The place of life and death, the way of survival and death, must be observed." Zhao Kuo said that the law of war is to speak with open mouth.

"After this battle, Ma Fuzi will soon be famous all over the world, and the younger generation in Handan City will respect Ma Fuzi. Before, Ying Yiren always told me that the Qin army was most afraid of Ma Fuzi's unification of the army.

As expected."

Ying Yiren? Why is this name so familiar? Zhao Kuo was surprised when he heard it.

Zhao Cong continued: "Although Yiren is a hostage of the Qin State, he usually has contacts with us nobles of the Zhao State. He just gave birth to a son and named him Zheng. I think he will have to curry favor with him after he returns.

You and the king, try to let his son be promoted to the throne like Ying Ji, hahaha."

It turns out that there is a past incident here, that is, the current King of Qin, Ying Ji, actually had no chance to become the King of Qin at the beginning.

In the past, Zhao was strong and Qin was weak. King Zhao Wuling, the king of Zhao at that time, saw the turmoil in Qin and wanted to support a Qin king who was pro-Zhao, so he threatened Qin with force and helped Prince Ji, who was a hostage in Yan at that time, to the throne of Qin.

Zhao Kuo didn't care about any of this at all. His mind was completely attracted by the information Zhao Cong just said.

If Ying Yiren's son is called Zheng, wouldn't that mean he is Ying Zheng?

Isn't this the First Emperor of Qin? According to the records in Xiang Shaolong's Adventures, Lu Buwei should be there too.
