Zhao Guangyang County, in an unknown town, Pan Hong sat in a small wine shop, holding a rough wine bowl tightly in his hand, but his ears were struggling, listening attentively to all kinds of discussions in the small wine shop.

This town belongs to Pi County, located on the border between Guangyang and Dai County, and for a period of time, the biggest news is the attack on Dai County by the Standing Army of Zhao State.

It is precisely because of this battle that Pan Hong came here, but he couldn't move forward anymore, the military had blocked the road to Daijun, and he, Pan Hong, the first strategist by Zilan's side, was naturally one of the key criminals that Zhao Jun wanted to capture.

Thinking of this, Pan Hong couldn't help laughing, although he had been stranded here for several days, the news he heard in this small wine shop every day was enough to make him feel excited. Daijun soldiers connected to the big victory, even Zhao Qi was trapped under Xiling City, his own trip traveled a lot of places, and also achieved good results, within the Great Zhao, many powerful nobles, has indeed expressed their dissatisfaction with Zhao Wouji, if you can take advantage of this great victory, maybe a big thing can be expected.

You only need to convince Zhao Mu in the end. He couldn't stay in Guangyuan, and part of the reason was that he wanted to block Zhao Mu here, but the strange thing was that Zhao Mu was replaced by Zhao Qi, but he never went back.

There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the wine shop, Pan Hong followed the sound and saw a fast horse quickly from far to near, and the knight was obviously extremely tired, so he reined in the horse outside the wine shop, "Shopkeeper, fill me with wine in my leather bag, this damn weather, it's really freezing to death." ”

"Come on, Master Jun!" Xiao Er ran out quickly and took the leather bag from the knight's hand. The knight carried a long letter on his back, clearly a messenger.

"Master Jun, how long will this battle last? Can we win? In the restaurant, a guest asked loudly.

Pan Hong's ears were also immediately pricked up, the messenger was from the front line, and he naturally knew the latest news at the first time.

"How long to fight? Who knows? Maybe it'll be over soon. Maybe for a long time. The knight sighed.

"I heard that our standing army was surrounded under Xiling City, so can we still win?" Someone else asked.

"Then don't think about it, these 30,000 people must have been given to the people of Daijun." The messenger pouted.

Someone began to panic, "Master Jun, in this way, we are not defeated, will the Daijun people fight?" Are you here to move the rescuers? “

"Not really, I'm here to report the victory." The knight laughed, "I'll tell you a big news." When our army was in a desperate situation, Captain Zhao used clever tricks to lure the county to guard Zilan, and now Zilan has been killed by our army, although we have lost tens of thousands of troops, but after killing Zilan, the dragons of the county have no leader, this battle, we will win in the end. ”

"Really?" The liquor shop cheered. Although Zilan is in the Zhao Kingdom and has a great reputation, the King of Zhao is still on top and in the eyes of ordinary people. The people that the king wants to crusade against are naturally problematic, but Zilan did not tie his hands and arrest them, but raised troops against the court. That's naturally a big rebellion.

No one will like war, and now that Zilan is dead, the war will definitely end.

Zilan almost thought she had misheard. But when he heard the cheers in the wine shop, he was sure that he had heard it correctly, and he only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, Zilan was dead, is this true? If Zilan really died, what was the point of what she had done, no, it must be fake, Zilan would never have died so lightly.

He clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly.

"Sir!" The guards around him were also shocked, looking at Pan Hong's face that suddenly became a little pale, looking at him very worriedly, they are now in the enemy territory, if they show flaws, it will be difficult to fly out even if they grow wings.

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Pan Hong took a deep breath.

Three days later, Pan Hong, who lived in a small inn above the town, finally confirmed that the news he heard that day was true, because he saw Zhao Qi and saw Zhao Junzhong's simple coffin nailed together with wooden planks. Seeing Zhao Qi appear, Pan Hong was sure that Zilan was really gone.

Closing the window, Pan Hong slid down the wall, holding his head in his hands, and cried silently, what is the point, what is the point? His own rush has won the support of so many people, but Zilan's work has been abandoned, Zilan has no successor, Zhao Zhuo is dead, Zhao Yong is almost out of the door because of physical reasons, in Daijun, there are even many people who don't know that there is such a person as Zhao Yong, how can he afford Daijun?

What to do? Now what?

Pan Hong curled up in the corner of the wall like this, until it was dark, and the future of Daijun was like the night outside, so that he could not see the slightest light.

The door was gently pushed open, and the guards flashed in from the outside like ghosts, turned around and closed the door, and walked to Pan Hong's side, "Sir, I'm back." ”

Pan Hong stood up against the wall, "Did you find out any news?" ”

"I found out, but the news is too terrifying." The guard said in a low voice: "I spent fifty taels of silver, and I found out from those soldiers who returned that Xianggong has indeed passed away, but Zhao Mu is also dead, and his body is hidden in the army. ”

"Zhao Mu is also dead?" Pan Hong was taken aback, and faintly felt that it was probably not simple here, and there must be a huge article hidden.

"Tell me more."

Since Zhao Qi was trapped under Xiling City, Zhao Mu rushed back on the way back to Handan, and invited Zilan Xianggong to negotiate in Ma'anshan, but what happened in Ma'anshan, no one knows, only that in the end Zilan and Zhao Mu died, the soldier also heard that it was Zhao Mu who designed Zilan Xianggong, ambushed the army in Ma'anshan in advance, and killed Xianggong, although they killed Xianggong, but in Daijun's subsequent counterattack, Zhao Mu also died, I heard that in order to bring back the body of Zilan Xianggong, The Zhao army also paid the price of two thousand soldiers. The news that the guards said was intermittent, and many things made Pan Hong feel incredible.

"Since it is an appointment in Ma'anshan, which is extremely close to Hefeng, it must be Zhao Mu in order to show the sincerity of the peace talks, then the security work must be the responsibility of our army, how could Zhao Mu ambush the army in advance, and since Zhao Qi is trapped under Xiling City, how can he appear here? Who is in charge of Ma On Shan's defense? ”

"Sir, that soldier is just a small sentry commander, how can he know so much." The guard shook his head. "I can inquire about this, or because there are a lot of rumors even among Zhao Jun now. Everybody's talking about it. ”

Pan Hong walked around the house a few times, and suddenly said, "Pack up your things, let's leave overnight and go back to Daijun." ”

"Sir, now that Xianggong is gone, what should we do?" The guards were a little nervous.

"Although Xianggong is gone, Xianggong still has a son, let's go back, no matter what, I want to keep this foundation for Xianggong."

"But the little boy, he?"

"The little boy's health is not good, but the little boy is already married, as long as he has an heir, there is still hope, now, I'm afraid that there are many forces that are eyeing Daijun, we have to rush back and help the son." Pan Hong said resolutely.

A few days later, Pan Hong appeared on Ma'anshan, the place where Zhao Mu and Zilan talked, now it has become a ruin, there are traces of war everywhere, Pan Hong carefully picked up among the ashes, trying to find some clues, on the empty mountain, except for the cold wind that whimpered, there was no trace of life. The guards around him have already inquired about Hefeng's situation, and in Pan Hong's heart, there are too many strange things revealed in this matter, and something that should not have happened happened, there must be something wrong in it.

His hand touched a hard object in the ashes, and Pan Hong reached out to hold him and pulled it out. It was a crossbow arrow, holding this crossbow arrow in front of him, Pan Hong couldn't help but gasp, this crossbow arrow is for the Eastern Army, not a crossbow, but even in the Eastern Army, there are not many riding crossbow arrows, Pan Hong has seen this kind of crossbow arrows, which can be loaded with a crossbow three times at a time, and the melee power is incomparable.

How did the weapons of the Eastern Army appear here?

A big question appeared in Pan Hong's mind.

"Sir." Hurried footsteps and heavy wheezing sounded behind him, and Pan Hong turned around to see his guards running over.

"What did you hear?" He asked.

"I heard a lot of things." The guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "At the time of the accident, the garrison of Hefeng was a cavalry team led by the infantry of the general of the Eastern Army, because our strength in Hefeng had been swept away by the Zhao army, and at that time, the one responsible for the defense of Ma'anshan was also another part of the Eastern Army, but I heard that this army was killed in the conflict with the Zhao army. ”

"The Eastern Army, it's the Eastern Army again!" Pan Hong's body trembled slightly.

"What else?"

"Gongzi has officially announced that he will inherit the post of county guard in Xiling City, but there is another thing, but there is another thing, but Ye Zhen, the general of the Eastern Army, led five thousand cavalry into Dai County, and now it is not far from Xiling City." The guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I heard that I came to Daijun at the invitation of Gongzi, in order to prevent Zhao Jun from counterattacking again." ”

"Five thousand cavalry!" Pan Hong gasped, "Where did the five thousand cavalry of the Eastern Army come from, they are fighting in Hetao, and they are also confronting the Donghu people in Panshan, where did the five thousand cavalry come from?" ”

He stared at the ruins in front of him, and suddenly reacted, the Eastern Army seemed to have expected today's events a long time ago, so at a very early stage, they began to deploy troops to deal with the things in front of them, otherwise, with the situation that the Eastern Army is facing now, how could it be possible to mobilize five thousand heavy troops to appear in Daijun in time so quickly.

If all the qiē were plotted by the Eastern Army, then their intentions would be self-evident. Pan Hong only felt cold and swishing on his body. Daijun, is this the front door to reject the wolf, and the back door to welcome the tiger? (To be continued......)
