Chapter 107 Will and

Di came to greet him, and drove Wang Fan on the chariot again and stood up by himself. Wang Fan was a well-educated noble elite who could tolerate Di's barbaric behavior. Zhao Kuo led a large army to the camp set up by Lian Po. This camp was different from the temporary garrison Zhao Kuo had seen in the past. Lian Po spent a lot of effort to build the city wall and a high whistle tower, and the inspectors walked around.

This was the plan to stay here for a long time, otherwise Lian Po would not have spent so much effort on the camp. When the chariot arrived at the gate of the tent, the soldiers inspecting Zhao State poked their heads out, straightened their necks, and looked at Zhao Kuo's direction. The soldiers stationed at the gate hurriedly opened the crossbar blocking the gate of the tent, leaving a road for Zhao Kuo's chariot.

The Zhao soldiers were very excited. They finally waited for the news that the king had regarded Ma Fujun as a general, and the news that the king had long spread among these soldiers. However, they all had their own responsibilities. After the chaos arose due to Zhao Kuo last time, Lian Po prohibited them from watching Zhao Kuo. Those who left their posts without permission would be executed. In the huge camp, there were only inspectors and the "logistics troops" responsible for cooking and cutting down trees.

Zhao Kuo was seriously observing the surrounding camp arrangements, and he would never miss any opportunity to learn.

Di looked around, then lowered his voice and said to Zhao Kuo: "General Lian Po is very angry. I think he doesn't want to hand over the tiger talisman." Zhao Kuo was stunned and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense. General Lian Po is my father's friend. I respect him like I treat my elders. General Lian Po is worried that I can't defeat Bai Qi. How can you say that?"

Di was scolded by Zhao Kuo, and he lowered his head helplessly and said, "It's my fault, please forgive me."

Zhao Kuo ignored him and just frowned. Of course he knew in his heart that what Di said might be right. General Lian Po was arrogant. Not to mention him, Zhao Kuo, even Zhao She, Tian Dan, and even Lin Xiangru were not taken seriously by him. He was a proud person. He would not be a deputy general for anyone and let him be a deputy general for a young man like himself. This might be a humiliation for him.

Zhao Kuo finally understood why he came from afar but no one came out to greet him. This was General Lian Po expressing his dissatisfaction. However, now it is not the time to have conflicts. Bai Qi is eyeing him outside the Great Wall. At this time, if he had a disagreement with General Lian Po, the happiest person would be Bai Qi. Just as Zhao Kuo was thinking about these things, he finally met another acquaintance, Sima Shang.

Sima Shang was walking in from the north gate of the camp with a group of tired soldiers. When he saw Zhao Kuo in the chariot, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly ran towards Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo got out of the chariot, "Shang greets Ma Fujun!" Sima Shang hurriedly saluted, Zhao Kuo helped him up and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I would meet an old friend just now. This is something worth celebrating."

Sima Shang was particularly excited, rubbed his hands and said, "I will send someone to help you arrange these soldiers. I will take you to see General Lian Po." Zhao Kuo nodded. Then Sima Shang shouted at the soldiers in the distance, summoned them over, and ordered them to arrange the new soldiers. Zhao Kuo also ordered his disciples to follow these soldiers to his own station. After seeing General Lian Po, he went back to see them.

Zhao Kuo and Sima Shang walked out of the camp, and Zhao Kuo asked about Li Mu again. Sima Shang curled his lips and said, "He was stationed in Wu'an City, and General Lian Po trusted him and handed him the most dangerous entrance in the north to him."

The soldiers of Zhao State leaned against the city wall and stared at the distance in a flash. They did not notice Zhao Kuo who was coming. Zhao Kuo also passed by them in a low-key manner. He walked with Sima Shang for a long time. He saw Lian Po who was looking into the distance in the Great Wall. Lian Po was wearing military uniforms and followed two generals. Looking into the distance, he didn't know what he was saying. Sima Shang hurried to their side and whispered: "General, Ma Fujun is here."

Lian Po turned his head and looked at Zhao Kuo without saying anything. He continued to look outside the Great Wall. The two generals beside him hurriedly leaned over to salute Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo returned the salute, and then walked to Lian Po's side, following his gaze, looking into the distance. In the distance, you could vaguely see the Qin soldiers who were cutting down trees and the smoke soaring into the sky.

"Are the Qin people building siege equipment? Or are they building camps?" Zhao Kuo asked curiously.

"If Bai Qi wasn't crazy, he should be building a camp."

Zhao Kuo nodded, looked into the distance and asked, "General Lian Po, do you know my purpose?" Lian Po frowned, but looked into the distance without answering. The two generals behind him, including Sima Shang, were a little embarrassed at this moment. During these days, Lian Po complained a lot, and they pretended not to hear anything and acted like they were observing the enemy situation seriously.

Zhao Kuo said, "Your Highness wants to replace you with me, and I cannot help but agree to him."

"If you were the general, would you be confident that you would do better than me?"

"If I have such confidence, I will not ask Shangjun to let you stay and help me. I am not as good as you. If I don't come, Shangjun will choose someone else to take over you." Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "I am just the chief general in Shangjun's eyes, but you still have to be the real general on this battlefield. I will obey your orders and sacrifice my life to execute your military orders."

Lian Po had a cold face, just looked into the distance, and said, "They said that if you were asked to replace me earlier, you could avoid Changping's defeat and the death of 40,000 people." Lian Po gritted his teeth and looked ashen. He said, "I heard that you were here to take over me, and the soldiers were extremely happy. The generals stood on tiptoe and waited for your arrival. I sent letters several times to tell me not to hinder your decisions, so as not to drag you down."

"I think, don't say anything about obeying my instructions. I am not worthy of being your deputy general, general, military, and even the people. I am not worthy of being your deputy general. I will go to Handan to apologize. If you come to command the army, I will wait for the news of your great victory." Lian Po said, taking a step back and turning around and leaving. Zhao Kuo hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm tightly. Lian Po looked at Zhao Kuo angrily.

"What else do you have?"

"General Lian Po, please don't do this." Zhao Kuo looked at him and said sincerely: "I have heard many stories since I was a child, and what I still remember in my heart is the story of you and Mr. Lin. I am reading... When I heard this, I was still young. I admire Mr. Lin's courage and his humility. I admire you very much. I admire you very much. I admire your actions of apologizing to Mr. Lin for the State of Zhao."

"What do you mean is that I will also ask you to apologize for your crime?" Lian Po became increasingly dissatisfied.

"From childhood, I have always regarded you as a hero. The hero I knew in childhood would not abandon hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people in Zhao just because I was wronged." Zhao Kuo looked at him and said, "Please don't leave, stay."

Lian Po stared at Zhao Kuo's eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time. Lian Po suddenly pulled out his hand and left here.

Zhao Kuo watched Lian Po gradually fading away, and something seemed to be broken in his heart. He was silent for a long time before turning around and looking into the distance. The generals around him didn't say anything.

He really couldn't think of any way to defeat Bai Qi, and Lian Po left. His only hope at the moment fell on the coalition forces of various countries. He didn't know how Pingyuan Jun and Pang Gong were doing now. Wei had previously agreed to send troops, but there was no movement yet. However, Zhao Kuo could not show a disappointed expression. He was the pillar of the entire army, and everyone could be disappointed and despaired, but he could not.

"General!!"

Suddenly someone called him behind his back. Zhao Kuo hurriedly turned around and saw something flying towards him. Zhao Kuo hurriedly caught it. It was Lian Po who threw something at him. Zhao Kuo looked at the thing in his hand. Lian Po smiled and said, "Tiger Talisman."

Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Lian Po walked to him, looked into the distance, and said, "This section is left to you. I want to go to the south. The South Great Wall is not far from the State of Wei. If Wei sends troops, I can still join forces with him and fight together. Lucheng has been lost. Please keep in touch with Wu'an and never go out rashly..."

Zhao Kuo looked at him and suddenly laughed.

Lian Po glanced at him and said, "What are you laughing at? In such a cold season, don't think about apologizing for your sins."
