Zhao Kuo actually just wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, and then he saw it too.

Compared with the Battle of Changping, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army is now significantly weaker, about 80% of the original ones.

Simply put, the same number of Zhao army and Qin army had to compete with each other in the past, but now the Zhao army can already have a slight advantage.

After all, the 300,000 losses in the Battle of Changping are still there, and even Bai Qi cannot change this fact.

Xu Li was ready to beat his hands and said, "Master, what should we do next?"

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly and said, "After we take the Wei army back later, we will withdraw our troops and return to the camp. We will not fight today."

"ah?"

Xu Li was completely stunned at once.

Zhao Kuo explained with a smile: "Let the Qin people be optimistic. If they are afraid of being beaten today, they will not dare to leave the whole place next."

Xu Li suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up: "The master's plan is amazing, it's so high, it's really high!"

This action was learned by Xu Li and Zhao Kuo.

But something unexpected happened to Zhao Kuo.

The combat effectiveness of the Han army was actually not bad, and it was indeed supported by the Wei army, and the disadvantage of the Wei army did not turn into defeat.

However, after Bai Qi discovered that the South Korean army had launched an attack, he did not invest more troops to join the attack. Instead, he called Jin to withdraw his troops before Zhao Kuo.

Looking at the Qin army retreating like a tide, Zhao Kuo's face gradually became solemn.

This Bai Qi wasn't fooled?

"Wu'anjun, this is a good opportunity to defeat the Han-Wei coalition forces!"

Wang Yi, who had just returned to Bai Qi, had some dissatisfaction on his face.

Wang Feng was the main general in charge of leading the battle with the Wei army. As a result, he finally won the battle. The opponent also added food. When he was about to eat it all, Bai Qi called him off the dining table. No one would be angry.

Bai Qi glanced at Wang Feng lightly: "Do you want to violate the king's order?"

Wang Yi immediately closed his mouth and left embarrassedly.

Bai Qi looked at the Qin army retreating back to the camp like a tide, and after a long time he couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, Bai Qi also wanted to put a big push and have a perfect revenge with the damn Zhao Kuo on the opposite side? But... it is hard to disobey the king's order.

Bai Qi once had a political ally and backer, and that man was named Wei Ran, who was the prime minister of Qin and the uncle of the current King of Qin.

But Wei Ran is now dead, and dies at the hands of the King of Qin.

So no matter how much you want to take revenge, Bai Qi must obey the orders of the King of Qin, otherwise Bai Qi will have to end up with the next Wei Ran.

Looking at the red Zhao army flag flying in the distance, Bai Qi silently said in his heart: "Zhao Kuo, you are very lucky."

Zhao Kuo felt that his luck was a bit bad, because on that night, a piece of news came from Shangdang County that surprised Zhao Kuo.

"The peace consuls of Qin State have entered the territory of Shangdang County, Zhao State from Hedong County, Qin State, and will arrive in Handan in the next few days?"

The young official standing in front of Zhao Kuo said respectfully: "That's it.

Our Zhou Shaofen County Magistrate Zhou hopes that this information can provide you with some judgment."

Zhao Kuo pondered for a while and said to the official in front of him: "Go back and thank your County Governor Zhou for yours. This matter has helped me a lot."

After the official left, Zhao Kuo found Xu Li: "Uncle Xu, send someone back to Handan immediately to meet Pingyuan Jun."

Seeing Zhao Kuo's expression, Xu Li knew that the matter was serious and hurriedly asked, "What should the lord do if he wants his minister?"

Zhao Kuo pondered for a while and said, "Tell Pingyuanjun that if the Qin people really negotiate peace, they will ask them to cede Hedong County to us!"

"Hedong County?"

When Pingyuan Jun, who was far away in Handan, heard Zhao Kuo's request, was shocked and couldn't help but drink a few sips of water to calm down.

Hedong County was the base camp of Jin at that time. It was the birthplace of the three countries of Zhao, Han and Wei. Most of the places were plains, with fertile land and dense population. It was one of the largest grain producing areas in the world.

Qin has been salivating about Hedong since its founding, but it was not until it was seized by Wei about thirty years ago. It has been hundreds of years since it passed.

With Hedong, Qin could further conquer the Wuhan Channel, and then go east to the Central Plains to reach the Korean War, which is now at war between Qin and Zhao.

Wouldn't giving up Hedong mean that Qin directly gave up his dream of going east to the Central Plains?

How is this possible?

Looking at Pingyuan Jun's face, the messenger was not in a hurry, but said calmly: "Jun Hou, my master and his family said that as long as you keep this condition, my family is likely to repay you with a great victory that has lost over 100,000 Qin people!"

Pingyuan Jun immediately gasped when he heard this.

What is the concept of 100,000?

Before the Battle of Changping, the greatest victory achieved by Zhao Kuo was the 100,000 Qin troops that Zhao Kuo's father, Ma Fujun, annihilated in one go in the Battle of Yanyu.

Is this Zhao Kuo, killing the Qin people is the same as drinking water for him?

Just report a number of 100,000?

However, after a brief hesitation, Pingyuan Jun gritted his teeth and said to the messenger: "Okay, go back and tell Zhao Kuo that I will believe him once!"

After Zhao Kuo's envoy left, Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao suddenly appeared: "Why did your brother agree to Zhao Kuo just now?"

Pingyuan Jun's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "Why can't you agree with me?"

Mr. Pingyang said anxiously: "Brother, haven't you heard the rumors in Handan City during this period?

It is those who are likely to have strange intentions about Zhao Kuo..." "Zhao Kuo will not have strange intentions, and he doesn't have the courage to do so."

Pingyuan Jun said lightly: "You don't know the king's skills to control people?

Zhao Kuo has been controlled by the king for a long time. I see, what you are talking about is just the rumors spread by the Qin people, just to succeed in the negotiation with us, Da Zhao as soon as possible!”

Pingyang Jun sighed and said, "But it is said that the king seems to have been shaken a little."

"What?"

Pingyuan Jun was shocked and asked, "What's going on?"

Pingyang Jun whispered: "The Qin people also sent a few women this time..." Pingyuan Jun slapped the table and said: "It's simply nonsense! How can a major military and national affairs be influenced by several women?

No, you can go to the palace with me immediately!"

Two hours later, the two brothers Pingyuan Jun and Pingyang Jun walked out of the palace gate side by side, and they could clearly see the solemn expression on each other's face.

Pingyuan Jun took a deep breath and said slowly: "This time, Zhao Kuo is really going to be in trouble."
