Chapter 80 In the second quarter, Changping changed generals, Zhao Jun suddenly boiled

When the news spread to Changpingyuan, Lao Lian was finally furious! In the past six months, there have been constant rumors in the military camp, true and false, and it is quite a headache for Lao Lian.He firmly believed that these rumors were maliciously spread by Qin's Niaohei Bingtai.Even the five kingdoms in Shandong ignored Zhao State, Zhao State’s treasury was short of food, Zhao State had no soldiers to transfer, the Huns were going to take the opportunity to go south to plunder Zhao’s land, Lin Hu was going to make a comeback, etc., soldiers were fighting every day There are new rumors, and the barracks is full of surprises every day.Lao Lian really couldn't find a solution to this kind of rumors that came and went without a trace. Apart from cursing the Qin people for being despicable, he could only sternly warn the whole army: Those who spread rumors will not be forgiven!Even so, the rumors are still wandering in the barracks like ghosts.What is even more irritating is that some rumors were quickly confirmed by orthodox channels, such as Bai Qi was about to die, such as He Zong failed.No matter how strict Lao Lianpo's military order was, he couldn't kill people every day. After a long time, Lao Lianpo had no choice but to turn a blind eye to this ghostly pervasive rumor.Two or three months ago, when the news spread in the barracks that the Qin army was not afraid of Lao Lianpo but only of Ma Fuzi, Lao Lianpo laughed out loud for the first time: "Funny! Qin's man-made rumors are so clumsy! Said that he was afraid of being a handsome scholar, and he would be stupefied by the old Zhao? The devil would believe it!" So instead of banning the rumor, Lao Lian Po would go to any military camp and talk about that military camp. Laughed, and ridiculed the clumsiness of Qin's man-made rumors with this most absurd rumor.In Lian Po's view, the rumor created by the people of Qin was so absurd that it was shooting itself in the foot, and it would only turn all the rumors into a puff of smoke in Zhao's court.Unexpectedly, when he was laughing loudly, a shocking news spread quickly in the barracks: King Zhao decided to change generals, he worshiped Zhao Kuo as the general, and the old general was leaving!

Lian Po's face was livid, and he immediately raised his account and gathered generals to strictly investigate the source of the rumors.Unexpectedly, the more than forty generals were silent, and no one made a sound.Lian Po was furious, his snow-white beard and hair suddenly slashed, and he yelled at the case: "General Si Guo! Check it out immediately! No matter the generals, if you spread rumors, you will be killed!" At the time when the tent was full of killings, he suddenly heard a horseshoe outside Xingyuan Like the rain, Sima of the Chinese army rushed over and whispered something in Lian Po's ear.Lao Lianpo's complexion changed suddenly, and he ordered General Si Guo: "Just check it out, and I will be back in a moment." Then he turned around and strode out of the gate.

Under the hazy moonlight, a familiar figure strode over. "Xiangru! Why are you here?" Lian Po was so surprised that his voice trembled. "Adversity will kill you, if I don't come, who will come?" Lin Xiangru smiled lightly. "Old brother, wait a moment, we'll have a drink after finishing the military affairs!" "What is the crime of a soldier! Old brother, don't kill me again, listen to me." Lin Xiangru pulled up Lian Po and went to the corner of the Xingyuan chariot.With the cool wind in early autumn, Lin Xiangru's occasional whispers were like a thunderclap, and Lian Po suddenly froze like a wooden stake!Lin Xiangru's voice was still talking clearly, and he kept talking about all kinds of major events in the past three years in detail, repeatedly dismantling them in detail, talking and talking endlessly.

"Understood! Don't talk about it, old brother." Finally, Lao Lian took a rough breath. "Old brother, if you don't want to stay with Zhao Shoubian, then choose a place to stand, and Xiangru will send you off!" "The old man's heart is so cold! Outside of Zhao country, it's convenient for the old brother to talk about it." "Then it will be Chu State. I have already made an agreement with Lord Chunshen. Whether you live in seclusion or become a general is up to you." "Tomorrow, the handover will be completed, and the old man will leave immediately."

"That's good. The Handan family, Xiangru escorted them into Chu with all their strength. At that time, I was hanging around with my elder brother all day long." "How so? Your old brother also wants to wear a crown?" Lin Xiangru laughed loudly: "Zhao Guo doesn't even want the Great Wall, how can Lin Xiangru care about it!" "Heaven's dead Zhao Ye! What can I say?" Lian Po sighed, but felt something strange behind him, he suddenly turned around to look at it, and suddenly burst into tears - more than forty generals stood neatly in the Yuanmen courtyard, silently Surrounded him, but no one spoke!Facing the generals who got along day and night, Lao Lian couldn't help bowing deeply, straightened his waist and waved, pulled Lin Xiangru up and strode away.

In the evening of the next day, Zhao Kuo and Mr. Pingyuan's cavalry arrived in Changping.Lian Po calmly greeted Mr. Pingyuan, who entered the customs first, in an old rough cloth, and only said lightly: "Mr. Pingyuan needn't say anything, I will hand over tonight." Stationed outside Changping Pass for one night, he comforted the old general and informed the generals before deciding on the date of the handover of military orders. Now Lian Po's clothes and words made Mr. Pingyuan's heart skip a beat!Lao Lian is frank and stubborn and brave enough to win the world, and his subordinates are even more bloody and suffering, but if he refuses to accept it, it is an accident. Are these words sincere or a demonstration?

"Zhao Sheng broke his promise, and he has no other choice. The old general bears his grudge, and Zhao Sheng apologized." Mr. Pingyuan bowed deeply. But Lao Lianpo smiled: "This is God's will, how dare I sin against others? Mr. Pingyuan doesn't believe it, just join the army with me." Entering the Changping shogunate, I saw the lamps and candles in the meeting hall were shining brightly, and all the generals were seated in awe. The commander's case was impressively marked with military symbols such as the soldier talisman, the letter, the command flag, the king's sword, and so on.Lao Lianpo smiled slightly: "How? There are forty-six generals in the army, not one is bad." After all, Mr. Pingyuan knew the army well, and knew that the gathering of generals was a sign that nothing happened in the army, so he immediately relaxed and said with a smile: "The old general is loyal to the country, Zhao Sheng thanked you in advance." Turning around, he gave an order to Sima, "General, please enter the pass and take defense!"

A moment later, the thousand cavalry team rumbled into Changping Pass, and Zhao Kuo led a group of military officials and four guards into the shogunate gathering hall with high spirits.The more than forty generals were still silent, and even Mr. Pingyuan stood silently just watching.Lao Lianpo just smiled faintly at Zhao Kuo, and then stretched out his hand towards Zhao Kuo.Zhao Kuo came here with passion, imagining how many handover situations and planning how many countermeasures along the way, but he just didn't expect this kind of lifeless handover.Zhao Kuo wanted to read the edict generously, but Lian Po stretched out his hand and handed it over.Lian Po didn't even look at it, so he threw the edict on the commander's case, and then with a wave of his hand, a central army Sima opened and displayed the generals' seals and letters one by one, and the two Sima carried them up again. A large case file with neatly tied bamboo slips came, and they retreated solemnly.

"This is general power. This is military affairs. This is the forty-six generals. This is the whole class of Sima military officials." Lao Lianpo stretched out his hand to point out, turned around and threw it out. The corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth twitched, and his face was ashen. When he was about to attack, Mr. Pingyuan laughed in a low voice: "The old general is upset, so let him go. General, it's important to take over the army." Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh, His face immediately relaxed, and he immediately ordered: "Come along with the military official Sima, and immediately count the general's military affairs!" Turning around, he ordered to the generals in the hall, "All the generals return to the camp! Appease the generals and the soldiers without making noise! ​​Gather the generals at Maoshi tomorrow morning, this is the general. Deployment battle!"

"Obey!" The generals agreed and filed out of the hall.Zhao Kuo originally wanted to leave a few familiar generals and his father's veteran generals behind to make plans, but seeing that the generals were in a hurry and none of them were sluggish, they finally didn't open their mouths. The autumn mist was misty, and the sun had not yet risen from the mountain, and there was a sudden sound of horseshoes on several mountain roads outside Changping Pass.The generals of each battalion rushed to the gate of the shogunate to wait in advance.At the end of the Yin hour, the drum of the first general gathered at the gate of the gate rumbled, and the generals cleaned up their armor one after another, and quickly lined up in two rows according to their rank.When Lian Po was around, no one cared about such meticulous actions, but it was easy to beat the drums without missing a beat.However, it has long been rumored in the army that the new general Ma Fuzi is the most particular about the appearance of the army, and punishes his subordinates extremely severely.Today's first gathering of generals to give orders, who dares to be cautious?When the second drum sounded, the generals in plain clothes filed neatly into the meeting hall, and stood in six rows on the left and right sides in front of their respective pier, according to their respective seating positions.At this time, the three-way drum sounded, and the Sima of the Chinese army shouted: "The general raised his account—!"

With the sound of clear and powerful footsteps, Zhao Kuo walked out from behind the majestic and rumbling tiger screen, bowed solemnly to the Yinjian command flag in the middle of the handsome case, then took a step back and stood still.The Sima of the Chinese army then shouted: "When the time comes, the general—!" Then a military official behind the case of Su Lishuai spread out the bamboo slips in his hand, and called out the names one by one. Jiu puffed out his chest and said loudly, "Hi!" This so-called Ying Mao also needs to be full of energy, high-pitched and resonant, and there must be no shrinking and wimpy attitude.This is called "military appearance", that is, military etiquette. The "Sima Law", which is the most particular about military training, says: "If the country's capacity does not enter the army, the military's capacity will not enter the country. If the military capacity enters the country, the people's morality will be ruined. If the country's capacity enters the army, the army will be weak. In the national language, the language is gentle... Standing in the army resists, deeds achieve results, don't worship those who intervene, don't follow the soldiers, don't rush in the city, don't look down on danger!" This truth was explained very thoroughly by the ancients, and the words and deeds of the military camp are completely different from those of ordinary people in the country.The root of this is that every word and deed of a sergeant must be courageous, resolute and resolute, and gradually immerse the spirit of a warrior who is generous to die.You see: stand upright (resist and stand), walk resolutely (action and result), wear armor and don't kneel and worship (intermediaries don't worship), soldiers in chariots don't bow their hands (chariots don't style), don't rush away in panic from the top of the city (don't go on the city) Tendency), suddenly in danger can not open your mouth to shout (dangerous contempt).One by one is clear and specific, and if you do it for many years, you can't help but develop a kind of pride and courage! After a while, there was a lot of hi-hai, and the pointing was over, and the forty-six generals all came together without missing a single one. "The general issued an order—!" Zhao Kuo made a big stride with "Hey!" and arrived in front of the commander-in-chief's case, glanced at the generals, and then began the first commander's speech passionately: "Generals, Shangdang has been defending for three years, and it can be said that the soldiers are exhausted. There is no need Guess, no need to speculate, Zhao Kuo was ordered to lead the army, and he wanted to wipe out the Qin army together with you, and build an inexhaustible achievement! Since my great Zhao formed a new army with Wuling King Hu Fu riding and shooting, the army has wiped out Zhongshan , Lou Fan, but the Xiongnu and Lin Hu in the north, expanded the land for thousands of miles, and stood side by side with the strong Qin! Since Qin and Zhao established the world side by side, the only battle that they fought was also a great victory for the Zhao army! However, after being surrendered to the Shangdang, Zhao Guo But the army turned into a pile of mud! All of a sudden, they lost three lines, lost the west base, lost troops and generals, and retreated steadily, so that today they were pressed by the Qin army in a valley three hundred miles east of Danshui, causing the Zhao army to suffer sixty. The biggest shame in the past years!" All of a sudden, Zhao Kuo pulled out the golden sheathed Zhenjun King Sword from Shuai'an, and slashed angrily, and the corner of Shuai's case fell to the ground with a blue light! "Why is that so?" Just as he raised his tent in awe, Zhao Kuo gasped, and his tone was slightly gentle, "It's all because our army is blindly defending and blindly retreating. Back then, Tian Dan fought against Yan, and the isolated city was still in dire straits. There is victory. Now that the two armies are facing each other, our camp has not been prepared to attack the enemy for three years. How can we talk about victory and attack? Zhao Kuo admires old general Lianpo's past military achievements, but he cannot agree with him who blindly defends like this!" See General Zhong Someone glanced at Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo smiled coldly, "If you think that it is Bai Qi's death that Zhao Kuo invites to fight, then you are wrong. A good general of the country can only be changed by changes in the battlefield. Today, the Qin army is tired and the food and grass are exhausted. The road is far away, the camp is loose, the camp has been tired of fighting for a long time, and the general Wang Yan is a brave man. At this moment, if you continue to stick to it, you will be obstinate! It will be a defeated army and a country!" The generals have gradually been convinced by Zhao Kuo's passionate eloquence.If Zhao Kuo blindly criticized Lao Lianpo, or just fought bravely, these battle-tested generals would definitely not accept it. Now Zhao Kuo not only did not criticize the old general, but also roughly explained the reason for switching from defense to offense.More fundamentally, as the news of Bai Qi's imminent death spread, rumors unfavorable to the Qin army followed.After all, the mainstream spirit of soldiers in the military camp is always eager to fight, both ancient and modern.Now, once inspired by Zhao Kuo's call, the generals' desire for war that had been suppressed for three years suddenly erupted, and they raised their tents and shouted: "I am willing to fight with the general!" "Blood battle against the Qin army!" "Long live the general!" "You generals have the fighting spirit, it is a great fortune for the country!" Zhao Kuo was very excited, and when he calmed down in the tent, he said, "For the victory of the war, the general issued two military orders today: first, the former shogunate Sima and military officials, Each of them will be promoted to one level, and they will all serve as casualty captains of all ministries, and the Sima military officials of the new shogunate will be filled by the accompanying officials of the general!" This practice of "changing military officials" was taboo in the military.The taboo is not that the general has no power, but that it is very detrimental to the war to set up military officials.Just like changing officials without changing officials, it is also a military tradition to change generals without changing officials.In fact, these Sima and military officials are practical officials who master the details of military affairs. Their value lies not in their wisdom and talent, but in their proficiency in complex military affairs and their long-term experience in handling complicated military affairs.Except for the most important military commander Sima, who is also called the Central Army Sima by ordinary people, a group of military officials and generals have no life and death party, but follow military orders.No matter who is the general, Sima military officials are an indispensable set of people to handle military affairs.Today Zhao Kuo Chushuai changed the order of the military officials, which was expected by the generals, but the Sima military officials did not complain, and they all obeyed their orders, and then stood behind the generals.The key here is that Zhao Kuo actually comforted each of the Sima military officials by promoting them to the first rank.According to their talents, these Sima military officials were originally only scholars in the army, and they may not be able to do ordinary commanders.But because of this, there are many Sima military officials who are looking forward to being promoted on the battlefield. It is not necessarily bad to be able to be promoted to the first rank and gallop on the battlefield. Is the general serious about theory?Seeing that the Sima military officials were so calm, the generals agreed, and no one came out to raise any objections. "The second military order!" Zhao Kuo's tone suddenly became sharp, "From today onwards, all battalions will immediately prepare to attack the enemy! Within half a month, the soldiers guarding the camps will be assembled into battalions and stationed! Dedicated defensive equipment will retreat. The heavy camp, bows, crossbows, firearms, ladders, cloud carts and other attacking equipment, enter the camp as soon as possible! All cooking utensils in the camp will be returned to the warehouse. Grandma, make an indomitable charge!" "Hi!" There was a bang in the hall, like thunder. As soon as noon passed, the entire Zhao Jun camp was boiling.For the past three years, the Zhao army has been defending the camp with a solid wall, but it is not easy to turn to the offensive preparations suddenly?Several times of spring and autumn, cold and heat, the barracks almost became the homes of soldiers.Numerous caves were dug behind each camp. The caves in the sheltered place were used for sleeping, the caves in the ventilated place were used for cooking, the caves beside the streams were used for bathing, the caves beside the deep stream were used as latrines, and the spacious and bright caves in the middle of the camp served as captains. The "shogunate".There is no battle to fight day after day, and the brave soldiers are really a little loose and a little tired in this kind of "mountain residence" in the military camp.Now the order will be vigorous and resolute, and within half a month, they will return to the light army camp like a bloody battle on the prairie, but how many things do they have to do?All of a sudden, in the more than 40 large camps around Changping, there was a chorus of people, war horses neighing, chariots and horses crisscrossed and troops shuttled, torches littered the mountains at night, banners fluttered during the day, and half of Shangdang was ablaze! At this moment of boiling and burning, Zhao Kuo's Chinese military shogunate quietly moved out of Changping Pass, traveled 30 miles northward, and built a new Chinese military camp overnight on a highland upstream of Danshui.After the Changping War, later generations had two names for this highland and the rest: one is called Hanwang Mountain, and the other is called Jiangjunling.The name of Hanwang Mountain should have been passed down from the Han people in later generations. It is said that Feng Tingshou Shangdang used this mountain as the shogunate of the Chinese army.The name of Jiangjunling should have been passed down by later generations as the name of the Zhao people. It is said that Zhao Kuo stationed the general ledger here to fight against the Qin army.Zhao Kuo had already been familiar with the terrain of Changping in the past surveys. The mountain he chose was just the watershed between Danshui, Xiaodongcangshui and Yonglushui. It is a rocky mountain, the slope is not very steep but not easy to climb, but the top of the mountain is a flat highland, where tens of thousands of elite soldiers can be stationed.Looking from a distance, the Sifang River Valley and the black camp of the Qin Army are all vividly visible, and it is indeed a rare place where the Chinese Army commands. As soon as the Xingyuan was set up, Zhao Kuo immediately ordered the setting up of the Yunche Dazhu Banner as the general command of the three armies.When the early morning sun climbed up thousands of ravines, a large flag with the word "Zhao" fluttered in Jiangjunling like a flame.
