Chapter 176: From today onwards, Shangdang County will be owned by the Zhao State! (2nd Update)

January 15, 259 B.C., Changping.

With the arrival of winter, white has become the main theme of this world.

Although it didn't snow today, you can still see the endless white when you look around from Daliang Mountain.

A gust of cold wind howled, burrowing into Zhao Kuo's body from between the gaps in the armor, making Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shiver.

As far as the eye can see, there are countless tents up and down Daliang Mountain, but there are very few soldiers and soldiers of Zhao Kuo who appear in Zhao Kuo's sight.

No matter what era the power of the Winter Lord is, it is not something that human beings can compete with.

In fact, if it wasn't necessary, Zhao Kuo didn't want to leave the tent, at least everyone could huddle in the tent to keep warm.

A voice came from in front of Zhao Kuo: "With your family realm, it is not difficult to get a robe to keep warm." ”

The person who spoke was none other than Lian Po, the general of Zhao State.

Lian Po stood in front of Zhao Kuo, his tall body was even half a head taller than Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo shrunk his neck and said with a smile: "There is a soldier under a certain command who suffers from typhoid fever, so he uses a robe to keep him warm... Ahh ”

A gust of cold wind blew, and Zhao Kuo involuntarily sneezed loudly.

Lian Po didn't look back, but snorted coldly.

After a few breaths, a robe was thrown on Zhao Kuo's face, followed by Lian Quite a flat voice: "Put it on." ”

Zhao Kuo subconsciously caught the robe and found that it seemed to have a slight body temperature on it.

"General, this..."

"Put it on, it's a military order!"

Zhao Kuo was in a somewhat complicated mood and put Lian Po's robe on his body.

Lian Po's coat seems to be a bit big, and it actually feels a little leaky when he wears it, but for some reason, there is a trace of warmth in Zhao Kuo's heart quietly flowing.

Before coming to the front line, Zhao Kuo was quite contemptuous of Lian Po in his heart, feeling that Lian Po was just a dying old man who had no ambition at all and just wanted to shrink down and seek peace.

But when Zhao Kuo came to the battlefield on the orders of Zhao Dan and personally participated in this war, this impression began to gradually change.

Whether it was in the old pass or in the city, Zhao Kuo deeply felt the strong combat effectiveness of the Qin army in the battle with the Qin army, and even had a face-to-face "cordial exchange" with the new generation of Qin generals like Sima Jin and Wang Qian.

After these two experiences of escaping death, Zhao Kuo completely overturned his thoughts and began to reflect on himself.

It's just that generals like Wang Jian and Sima Jin are already so good, so what kind of amazing and brilliant figure should be that Wu Anjun Bai Qi, who can lead 600,000 Qin troops to sweep the invincible opponents in the world?

And being able to fight against this Wu Anjun for so long, and only being a little behind, is it really as bad as Zhao Kuo thought before?

Zhao Kuo finally understood that he really underestimated the heroes of the world, and also looked down on himself.

At least the current Zhao Kuo has not reached the realm of Bai Qi or Lian Po, and he does not have the strength to be able to compete with them on an equal footing.

But fortunately, Zhao Kuo woke up not too late.

Zhao Kuo looked at Lian Po and thought to himself: "One day, I will definitely lead the army to fight on the battlefield like a general and return home victorious!" ”

Yes, Lian Po is about to return to China.

After nearly a year of expedition, with the signing of the contract between Qin Wangji and Zhao Dan at the Qinghe Meeting, the two countries had a complete truce, and the Qin army had already begun to withdraw according to the agreement between the two sides a few days earlier.

At this moment, Zhao Kuo and Lian Po stood on top of the Great Grain Mountain, and they could clearly see groups of Qin troops walking out of the camp of Guangwolf City on the other side of the Dan River and heading towards the west.

The Qin army had a large number of people, like a long black dragon slowly moving on a snow-white earth, which was extremely conspicuous.

After another quarter of an hour, another group of Qin soldiers also left the Light Wolf City, and gradually faded away in the sight of Lian Po and Zhao Kuo.

After this group of Qin soldiers left, no one came out of the camp of Light Wolf City.

Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops finally left the Changping battlefield completely from this moment and embarked on the road to return home.

These Qin troops would follow the western half of Baicheng, pass through Duanshi and Pigao, and finally return to Hedong County of Qin.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, and the cold wind poured into his body from his nose, but his heart was on fire.

After a long, bloody and brutal battle, Zhao finally defeated the powerful Qin State and captured Shangdang County from the hands of the Qin people!

The Great Qin Xiongshi, which was once invincible and made all the countries in the world fearful, was defeated again in the hands of Zhao after the Battle of Yan and He nine years ago!

Nine years ago, when Zhao Kuo, who was still a teenager, heard the news of the victory of his father leading the Zhao army in Handan City, he was so happy that he stayed awake all night, and he couldn't wait to grow up overnight and go into battle with his father to kill the enemy.

Now, nine years later, although Zhao Hao is no longer alive, Zhao Kuo inherited his father's will and came to Changping, and witnessed the victory of Zhao Jun here.

For some reason, Zhao Kuo's heart suddenly felt a little emotional.

If my father had a spirit in heaven, he would have been very happy at this moment, right?

At this time, Lian Po slowly turned around and patted Zhao Kuo's shoulder.

"Go ahead."

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lian Po for some reason.

Lian Po looked at Zhao Kuo, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I have recommended you to the king as the lieutenant of Shangdang County, and the soldier of Shangdang County." Thou shalt do your best to protect the peace of this county! ”

The county lieutenant is the highest military commander in the whole county, in charge of the military power of the whole county, training soldiers on weekdays, leading county soldiers in wartime, and his status is only under the county guard.

Considering that Zhao Guo is now only about ten counties, the position of county lieutenant can be said to be quite high, almost the appearance of a provincial military commander.

You must know that in addition to major battles such as the Battle of Changping, usually Zhao will only dispatch three or four counties to fight, so that the county lieutenant can often serve as a deputy general, and sometimes even become the main general!

In terms of Zhao Kuo's age, this is definitely an out-and-out high position.

Zhao Kuo was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly saluted Lian Po: "General Xie!" ”

Lian Po smiled slightly, patted Zhao Kuo's shoulder vigorously, and showed a gentle smile in his eyes for the first time: "Your father is a model for our generation of soldiers, and you have also proved your bravery in this battle. ”

Lian Po paused for a moment, and looked at Zhao Kuo meaningfully: "You, can you protect the peace of Zhao Guozhi?" ”

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath, straightened his chest vigorously, and said loudly: "Kuo, dare not die for Zhao Guoxiao!" ”

In the midst of the snow, Zhao Kuo strode down the mountain under the gaze of Lian Po, followed by a full 5,000-strong Shangdang County army army.

General Zhao Kuo led this army to take over the camp in Guangwolf City, where the Qin army had just left, and then he would take over the Xishang Party and the Nanshang Party occupied by the Qin army.

The vigorous Battle of Changping officially came to an end from this moment.

Shangdang County is officially owned by Zhao Guo from today!
