Qi Kuo

As soon as Zhao Jun and others returned to the station, they heard Shanghantuo calling them to discuss the next thing.

Zhao Jun handed his horsewhip to the guards at the side, and followed Shanghantuo away.

As soon as Zhao Jun sat down, he heard Shanghan Tuo say: "Did I do this too impulsively?"

Zhao Jun showed no expression: "Why do you need to go back on what you have done, and it doesn't matter whether you are impulsive or not, it is a foregone conclusion."

Shanghantuo smiled bitterly: "I always thought that I could protect him well, his mother asked me to protect Chen'er well before she died, and now I haven't gone to see him yet, but she has met her Chen'er first. "

Zhao Jun didn't speak, his eyes were on the gravel on the ground.

If I knew this earlier, why bother.

It's just karma, why worry.

If he hadn't invaded Taihe back then, and hadn't directly cut off the family's inheritance because of a momentary mood swing, then he wouldn't be at this time today.

He didn't want to pity Shang Hantuo, after all, everyone has suffered this kind of retribution.He is not a saint, and has always pursued revenge.

It doesn't matter whether you say he is cruel or narrow-minded, as long as someone can understand.And he didn't want much, just the understanding of a few people.

Shang Hantuo was still talking, but Zhao Jun didn't listen until the other generals came in.

Shanghantuo also stopped his non-stop rambling at the same time, beckoning them to sit down.

Shanghantuo took a sip of tea and spoke again: "You know the current situation. Now that the people we stayed there have not come back, it seems that it is probably more or less ominous. But according to the previous combat effectiveness, it should not be There is no situation like this, so it can be inferred that the strength of the National Defense Army has been strengthened, or greatly strengthened. What do you think about this?"

A bearded man said: "It's okay, even if their fighting power has increased, it's still not worth mentioning to us."

Zhao Jun frowned: "How do you say that?"

The bearded man said: "I believe the general is very clear about the strength of our army, and the strength of the National Defense Army is not 01:30 points different from ours before. In many cases, when the two armies confront each other, we beat them unilaterally. And they can only flee in embarrassment."

Zhao Jun pursed his lips and wondered if the National Defense Army had hidden too much, so that they underestimated the enemy now.

Everyone was chattering again, Shang Hantuo saw that Zhao Jun had only said one sentence and then stopped, so he asked, "What does the general think should be done?"

Zhao Jundao: "Follow what they said, there is nothing to worry about. A small Taihe, how can we stop our army's offensive. Besides, we need to advance quickly this time, and we can't play like before, otherwise it will be very difficult for them to react. It's difficult."

Shanghantuo nodded: "I think so too. After all, we are at the forefront of the attack now, and we are all at a disadvantage due to emotion and reason. Besides, they killed me, Chen'er, and they will kill me anyway." The national army, to vent the hatred in my heart."

A different emotion flashed in Zhao Jun's eyes, and this was what he was waiting for.

Three days later, the two armies officially kicked off the battle sequence.

Chen Ke made use of the troops that had been deployed before, and at the same time took advantage of Shang Khan's eagerness for success to fight back forcefully.

Originally, Taihe's attitude towards the National Defense Army was supportive and optimistic before the start of the war. Later, a year and a half later, after repeated defeats and repeated defeats, they were repeatedly criticized.

Now that the war is going on again, the National Defense Army, which was not expected at first, suddenly rises with a menacing momentum, as if those defeats in the past are all illusions of everyone.

The strong counterattack of the national defense army dealt a heavy blow to Shang Khan, who was originally high-spirited.

Sitting at the table, Zhao Jun picked up the scissors in front of him and cut off his sleeves, revealing the long wound. After that, he took the pot of spirits beside him and poured it on the wound in a daze. Frowning, the guards next to him all grinned when they saw it.

When Mo Xuan came in, he saw this scene, so he sat down beside him, picked up the powder and shook it on his wound, Zhao Jun's hand shrank slightly when the delicate powder landed on the wound, which was hot.Mo Xuan said: "It hurts just looking at it."

Zhao Jun smiled, and let him bandage himself: "Actually, it's okay, I don't think I have been on the battlefield without being injured in war."

Mo Xuan rolled his eyes at him: "Don't tell me that it was your honor to die in battle."

Zhao Jun was helpless: "I said that what I want is very simple, how can I die before I get it."

Mo Xuan curled his lips: "He let you go."

Zhao Jun bent his hand and felt that the bandage was just right, so he stood up and left. Before he left, he said to him: "Maybe it's not peaceful recently, you should pay attention to yourself, hold back all day long and follow me." He rushed towards the battlefield like a stupefied youth... The current situation is difficult to control."

Mo Xuan nodded: "I know, go quickly."

After hearing this, Zhao Jun turned and walked out, his back melting into the light and shadow.

As soon as he entered, he heard a familiar voice talking: "It can't go on like this, and I always feel that we have been suppressed and beaten by them, and it seems that they always know our next move, and they can always be in the next step." It is impossible to defend against a fatal blow at the right time, and most of the time they know our movements, and they always stay first to block all our retreats."

Zhao Jun went in and sat down, less than red oozing from the gauze.

Shanghantuo turned his head to look at him and asked, "Why are you injured?"

Zhao Jun waved his hand: "It's okay, let's continue."

The man went on to say: "Don't talk about how we were before, as far as the level of a year ago was concerned, the National Defense Army would have been beaten up against us. Now it's only a year, and their strength The degree of ascension... is against the sky." He glanced lightly at everyone present, and finally said: "I suspect, either they have been suppressing their own strength before, or else, there are ghosts here."

There was a moment of silence in the house.

Zhao Jun looked up at him, then quietly looked away, and said, "Then what does the general think should be done?"

The man looked at him: "Find it out and get rid of it."

Zhao Jun smiled: "The general thinks it's so easy? As far as I know, some of us are still lurking in the National Defense Army and haven't come back."

Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Jun continued: "According to what you said, there are two choices. One is that they have been suppressing their own strength before, and the other is that they have an inside line with us, and they should still have a status. People who are similar to us, or our own confidantes. In this case, he can climb to such a point, which proves that he hides well. In other words, it is the National Defense Army who has been hiding its strength and charging us Weaknesses, so much so that they have accumulated enough strength and we are still unable to defend against them.”

No one spoke.Zhao Jun continued: "If it is the second type, we can only say that we have always underestimated the enemy, and the previous battles have caused our army's morale to swell. Many people cannot accept the current blow, and the morale of the army is depressed...so , I am more inclined to the first one, they are hiding their strength, and now they are using psychological warfare against us."

After listening to Shang Hantuo: "I also agree, but you still have to pay attention to the inside line, and report immediately if you find anything."

All the soldiers agreed in unison, and then dispersed.

When everyone was almost gone, Zhao Jun, who was walking at the end, stopped. He turned and looked at Shanghantuo, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at the guard standing behind him. Shanghantuo noticed his little move , heard Zhao Jun say: "Khan Wang is wise." Then he turned and left.

Shanghantuo rolled his eyes, and suddenly understood what Zhao Jun had told him after he had finished thinking.He turned around and said to the guard standing behind him, "Go and get my bow and arrow back for me."

The guard responded and walked out.

Zhao Jun came in shortly after the guards left, and saluted: "King Khan."

Shanghantuo waved his hand: "Go."

Zhao Jun turned his head to tell him that maybe that guard was an insider, but now he has no way to ask why he is his guard, or how he knew it was this guard.

He called another confidant in and said, "Go and follow Zhao Jun, don't let him notice."

After the confidant went down, Shanghantuo poured a cup of tea and waited quietly for the final result.

After Zhao Jun brought the man back, he left directly. The wound on his hand opened again, blood dripped down his arm, and scattered brilliant flowers on the ground.

Shanghantuo asked people to lock up the captured person and waited for Zhao Jun to interrogate, and then asked Zhao Jun's confidants: "How is it?"

The confidant said: "There is nothing suspicious. By the way, just before the Lord General left, I told you that I saw this by accident before. He said that you will understand what happened after you read it."

Shanghan opened it, and inside was a detailed record, which contained all Shanghan's activities and the exact time, including all the people who participated in the negotiation.

And that handwriting, at first glance, was written by the person who was just caught.

Shanghan Tuo smiled: "I have really raised a good subordinate." He gently put the things in his hand on the table and raised his hand to his forehead.

After Zhao Jun went back, he cut the gauze with scissors and bandaged it again.By the way, I wrote a letter to Chen Ke, asking him to prepare to save people.

Then he packed up and went to sleep.

He didn't want to take care of the later things, he was too lazy to take care of them, he was a little tired, he had photographed the guard before, just to let him prepare himself first, maybe he would need his cooperation later, and he went down today to take a look His glance was not only because he wanted to warn Shang Hantuo, but also because he wanted to remind him that the time was up and let him get ready.

He remembered that he nodded to him invisibly, responding to the cruelty he was about to face.

In fact, they are all the same, just doing this for one goal, sacrificing their lives and forgetting themselves, just for what they want to protect.

Even if the thing that is about to face is so cruel, it makes people feel tormented.

But when I think of those people, everything is worth it.

It may be that they are too stupid, willing to go to the fire and do things that many people don't want to do.
