Chapter 281: Generals, it's better to surrender to Zhao with me! (2nd Update)
Moments later, a meeting took place in the Great Tent.
Looking at the dozen or so Qin generals in front of him, Wang Ji suddenly felt that his body trembled a little, and his mouth seemed to be sewn up, and he couldn't open his mouth.
At this time, Wang Ji suddenly felt something, and glanced back at the corner of the tent behind him, only to find that Zhao Kuo's eyes were staring at him, and his gaze was as sharp as an eagle's falcon.
Wang Ji turned his head, his body suddenly stabilized, his face quickly became serious, and his tone of voice also seemed very serious.
"I have summoned you here today for a great matter of discussion. According to the front line report, the two cities of Pigao and Gujiang have fallen into the hands of Zhao State, and the 300,000 Sanjin coalition army led by Lian Po, the general of Zhao State, has passed through Jiangxian County, and it is only a day's journey from Anyi. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people in the tent were instantly shocked, and many people even exclaimed.
So fast?
You must know that Anyi is several days away from Pigao City, from Pigao City to Anyi, either take Jiangxian in the south, or take the Pingyang-Fenyin line in the north.
In terms of topography, it is obvious that the Pingyang-Fenyin road is easier to walk, and it is basically a plain, which is very suitable for the movement of large armies.
But in terms of distance, it is closer to Jiangxian County.
The question is that no matter which route it is, it will pass through at least one or more cities in the Qin State, how can the advance of the Three Jin Coalition forces be able to pass through these cities so quickly and silently, and reach the front of Anyi?
Wang Ji didn't give the generals a chance to think, but immediately raised his voice and said, "At most, tomorrow evening, 300,000 Sanjin coalition troops will enter Anyi City!" What can the generals do to defeat the enemy? ”
When Wang Ji said this, the generals of the Qin army in the tent were suddenly silent.
Stratagem?
What can be the strategy?
I know my own affairs, and there are only 50,000 Qin troops in the big camp at the moment, and they are not the main force but ordinary county soldiers.
It's too difficult to fight against a full 300,000 enemies with such an army, right?
Wang Ji looked at the silent generals of the Qin State in the big tent, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but cross a secret smile, but he immediately hid this smile very well, and said with a straight face: "Now is the time of crisis, is there no way for the generals to think about it?" ”
There was still silence in the tent.
Many generals of the Qin army are actually muttering in their hearts, now that Wang Ji is the main general, why do you have to think of something when we encounter something?
And these days, the atmosphere in the camp is gradually becoming a little more delicate.
Wang Ji dismissed 30,000 county soldiers, and then took over the power of 50,000 troops, but the right half of the tiger talisman that should have been presented by Wang Ji never appeared, and Wang Ji only had the left half of the tiger talisman obtained from Meng Fu and a warrant from the King of Qin that no one had seen the details of.
If killing Meng Fu at the beginning can be explained as a matter of urgency, then it has been seven days, and the fast horse can go back and forth to Xianyang once, why hasn't the right half of the tiger talisman that should be in hand has not appeared?
All in all, Wang Ji's authority is not as heavy as it was the day he killed Meng Fu just now, and it is still shaking as time goes by.
So at this time, it is naturally impossible for anyone to stand up and give Wang Ji an idea.
In fact, Wang Ji didn't need anyone to give him ideas.
Wang Ji coughed, attracted everyone's attention, and then said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, that Lian Po was a famous general at that time, and he couldn't be defeated with Wu Anjun's ability, and now the enemy is several times the number of our army, how can we be the enemy?" It's better to lead Hedong County and descend to Zhao, and you can also get a glory and wealth, how about it? ”
Wang Ji's voice fell, and then he saw a shocked look on the faces of these Qin generals in front of him.
Almost in the next moment, someone immediately shouted: "Wang Ji, you actually betrayed the country to seek glory? How can you be worthy of the king's trust in you by committing such a rebellious act? ”
There was a "whoosh" sound, and a crossbow bolt accurately sank into the throat of the general, who had just spoken.
In a burst of exclamations, the Qin general fell to the ground.
Hundreds of Zhao Kuo's men swarmed in, and before most of the people in the tent could react, they had already surrounded all the generals in the tent.
Zhao Kuo, who was standing in the corner of the tent, put down the short crossbow in his hand without changing his face, took out a crossbow bolt from his back without hurrying, and said while winding: "Generals, I can't hide it, I am Zhao Kuo, the county lieutenant of Shangdang County of Zhao State, and now that the Three Jin Dynasty coalition forces are coming, if you resist, it will be a dead end, why should you die for the Qin State?" ”
More than a dozen generals of the Qin State looked at Zhao Kuo, who had always been inconspicuous, and their faces were very complicated.
Although the generals had been a little overwhelmed by the dense heavy news in the short period of time just now, when Zhao Kuo's words came out, they still surprised the generals of the Qin State who were present.
This guy, who has always claimed to be a subordinate of "Hou", turned out to be a spy of Zhao State?
Before the generals could react, Zhao Kuo continued: "My king already has a royal order, if you are willing to demote Zhao, then the official position and title will be promoted by two levels, and there will be reuse!" “
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on the faces of the generals of the Qin State finally changed again.
In these years, it is nonsense to talk about loyalty and patriotism, and only the interests in front of you are the most tangible things.
The positions and titles of the generals present are no longer low, it can be said that they are basically going to the top, and those who can be assigned to lead the county soldiers are relatively marginal people, and it is difficult to be promoted.
If it can be promoted by two levels, it will indeed be a very difficult temptation for this kind of Qin General who has almost no room for growth.
After all, the system of Zhao is very similar to that of Qin, and Zhao is the most popular country today, so it seems that it is not bad to take refuge in Zhao.
As Sima Qian said in the "Historical Records": "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." ”
What is Leigh? Isn't it fame and fortune, glory and wealth?
To put it bluntly, profit is "benefit".
As long as there are benefits, what is it to change the king?
This is not just the thoughts of these Qin generals, but the thoughts of the sergeants of the entire Warring States Period.
There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here, ask where the master goes, see where it is beneficial!
Zhao Kuo saw the vacillation of these generals, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, my king once said, 'Those who know the times are handsome', don't you think about the glory and wealth, but want to destroy together with the Qin State?" ”
The generals first looked at the corpse on the ground, then looked at Wang Ji who was smiling and silent, then looked at Zhao Kuo with a sinister face, and then looked at Zhao Kuo's subordinates who were holding bright and sharp blades around them, and all of them had expressions of struggle on their faces.
After a while, someone finally spoke: "I am willing to surrender to Zhao with the county guard." ”
"I will surrender too."
"It's down."
In a short period of time, whether they were forced or lured, all the generals of the Qin State chose to surrender without exception.
Zhao Kuo and Wang Ji glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
If I knew that these people were so greedy for life and afraid of death, then I would have a showdown early in the morning, and then directly lead this army to sweep the entire Hedong, and the credit should be greater...
At this moment, a shout of killing suddenly came into the tent.
Zhao Kuo's face changed, and he shouted, "What's the matter?" ”
After a while, Zhao Kuo got the answer he wanted.
"General, someone is making trouble and is attacking here!"
"What?" Zhao Kuo was shocked and walked out of the big tent quickly.
Just a few hundred meters away, a Qin army force broke through the interceptions all the way in a devastating posture, and quickly approached the big tent where Zhao Kuo was.
Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, pulled out the long sword in his hand, and said sharply: "Come on, kill all these people who committed rebellion and mutiny in the military camp!" ”
