Chapter 117 The Loser

In fact, Qiu Yao saved Mao Sui at the beginning. As a result, now she has done so many things for herself in the name of repaying, and Qiu Yao feels a little embarrassed.

But it's one thing to be embarrassed, and it's another thing for her to see Bai Qi.

I just didn't expect that Zhao Kuo and Mao Sui had a close personal relationship and promised to let her go out with the army, still as Zhao Kuo's personal guard.

Zhao Kuo's generity surprised Qiu Yao. Qiu Yao's appearance also made Zhao Kuo curious. He always thought that Mao Sui's kind of scholar who usually hides rich philosophy with a loose appearance should not be close to women. Unexpectedly, this time let himself take a woman to war for the first time. Looking at the woman's beauty is not as good as the middle, then it must be inside. There's something extraordinary about it.

And looking at the woman in the barracks with a group of old men, there was no formality. It seemed that it was not the first time to go out with the army. Zhao Kuo's curiosity was finally heavier. He finally took out some gaps. Zhao Kuo found Qiu Yao's figure in the camp, and then pretended to walk over inadvertently. But he found that the other party really looked at the art of war he put on the table.

"Do you understand?" Zhao Kuo's tone was imperceptible with a trace of contempt and conceit. Qiu Yao knew that this man was well swd in the art of war, and naturally he would not play tricks foolishly.

"It's just a little understanding," Qiu Yao got up and put the art of war back in place. In fact, this thing is just a tool for her to kill time and distract attention. "The art of war is dead, and random response is the truth."

"I don't know how to get on the battlefield," Zhao Kuo held his head high and turned around and walked back to the side of the case. "In the future, he will fight with Qin. Even if the commander-in-chief of the Qin army is Wu Anjun Bai Qi, he will take his undefeated name."

Qiu Yao unconsciously sighed in her heart. Zhao Kuo was really far away as the history books said, but her popularity was not inferior to Bai Qi, but she couldn't help but feel sorry to think that he would die under her excessive self-confidence.

But soon Qiu Yao's first impression of Zhao Kuo was shaken. In the battle between Qin and Zhao and Changping, the two sides were only equal at the beginning, but they also suffered heavy losses. The fierce battle could not hold on, and the supply in the army soon became tense.

Zhao Kuo's previous confidence in winning has disappeared, but Qiu Yao did not see him decadent and depressed. The next arrangement was much more cautious than before, which made Qiu Yao a little impressed by him.

While meditating, there was a lot of movement from the outside. Then I saw several soldiers carrying a wounded person in. The strong bloodiness made Qiu Yao couldn't help but feel a little nauseous. Fortunately, she had exercised more or less in the white army for a while, and the original dizziness was much better.

The person who was brought in was not someone else, but a confidant general under Zhao Kuo. Qiu Yao couldn't help leaning over and looking. The man was covered in blood, with five broken arrows in his chest, and his shoulder blades seemed to be pierced by a sharp blade and kept bleeding out.

"Water..." The general's consciousness was blurred, and he could only breathe instinctively and let out some faint moans.

According to the medical level of this era, suffering an injury of this level is basically equivalent to receiving a death notice.

"General Ma said something to say to the general after he was injured, but according to the current situation, I'm afraid..." The soldiers beside him couldn't help choking.

"I would have known that he wanted to entrust the children in his family, and I would have known..." Zhao Kuo looked at the people on the ground and walked back and forth two steps in a little upset. Then he stopped. He turned around and took the kettle on the case and bent down to feed him. The attendant hurriedly stopped him.

"General, no, General Ma just lost consciousness and said he wanted water. You don't have to take out your own water..." Otherwise, it is equivalent to waste.

The servant's words were not fully said, but the people around him had fully understood what he meant. Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuo suddenly became angry, "Get out of the way!"

"General!" The servant actually knelt down straight at Zhao Kuo, "The reinforcements have not arrived. How precious this water is. It's hard to die. Let's feed General Ma with the water of the last general."

Qiu Yao couldn't help looking sideways. If it were Bai Qi, even if it was Sima Jin lying in front of him, I'm afraid he would not want to let himself and anyone around him take out the life-saving water to feed a mortal person to drink. During the battle, the surrounding spring water may be turned into the enemy's weapon against its own army, so the rations and water carried with you are extremely precious.

Sometimes, calmness is cold.

"This is a military order!" Zhao Kuo didn't know the strength he brought. He pushed away the people who stopped him, knelt on one knee, gently used the mouth of the pot to the two moving dry and cracked lips, and then fed the water into his mouth.

Suddenly there was a dead silence in the tent, and everyone stared at this sacred and solemn moment with breath. Qiu Yao felt a little unbelievable. She thought that a young man born in a famous family like Zhao Kuo should be arrogant and selfish, but she forgot that he was born as a general. Even if he was a scholar, he still carried a blood of general.

The clear water was fed only a little and overflowed from General Ma's mouth. At first, the injured person instinctively swallowed a few times, but soon there was not even this point for seven miles, and the clear water fell from the corners of his mouth to his cheeks.

Zhao Kuo closed in time, but his body still maintained its original posture.

Qiu Yao faintly saw something shiny on her blood-stained face and melted into a small piece of Yin Hong.

Zhao Kuo immediately stood up and turned his back, "Bury General Ma."

His men took the order and carried the body away, leaving only blood stains on the ground.

Qiu Yao continued to read the military book. She should not have appeared in this barracks, so she tried to minimize her sense of existence.

She had already known Zhao Jun's defeat, but she didn't expect to see such a scene. Thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of drums outside. A soldier entered the account and brought a chilling news for Zhao Jun.

"Report to the general, the Qin army's reinforcements have arrived, and they are attacking our army with all their strength."

The corners of Qiu Yao's eyes jumped slightly.

"Fight against the enemy with all your strength!" After the military order, Zhao Jun began a desperate breakout battle, but finally he was gradually unable to do it. Seeing that Zhao Jun was about to annihilate the whole army, Zhao Kuo suddenly made an amazing decision.

"Gender my order, Kaicheng surrender."

Zhao Kuo's behavior once again exceeded Qiu Yao's expectations. She thought that an arrogant person like him would fight with the enemy even if there was only one last breath left. At least his grandfather was also a famous general Zhao She.

The general who sent the message suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Why don't you go? Do you want to see hundreds of thousands of people in Changping become victims of the Qin army!"

The generals were shocked, said "No" seriously, and turned around and walked out of the camp.

"As for you," Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and looked back at Qiu Yao, who was silent from beginning to end. "I owe Mr. Mao Sui a favor. It's worth taking you out on an expedition, but I can't let you be buried here together. I would have sent two people to try to take you away. As for whether you can't go away, it's up to you. I have made myself."

"What about you?" As soon as Qiu Yao said, she felt that she had asked a very stupid question.

"I am the general, and I will go to Qin Jun in person to surrender." A trace of pain flashed on Zhao Kuo's young and handsome face. "Wait here. Someone will take you away later."

Zhao Kuo turned around and wanted to leave, but Qiu Yao stopped herself from behind.

"I'm not leaving. I'll go with you." Qiu Yao stood up and looked at Zhao Kuo fixedly.

"Are you crazy?" Zhao Kuo turned his head in surprise and looked at her, but he saw that Qiu Yao's eyes were full of determination.

"I'm Bai Qi's wife."

——————————

Well, it's true that Qin and Zhao are evenly matched, and the surrender of the State of Zhao.

In fact, the allusion of talking about soldiers on paper is biased. In fact, Zhao Kuo is not a pit that only knows the art of war and does not know actual combat. At that time, in the Battle of Changping, Qin and Zhao fought well. The key to victory or defeat was whose reinforcements came first.

The saying on Baidu is that Zhao Kuo was killed by an arrow in the breakout battle, but there is also a saying that Zhao Kuo's body is empty. If I write a novel, I prefer the latter, at least add a little more possibility.
