The most elite soldiers of Zhao State are not in Changping, but in the palace.

Because the Qin State often had the habit of directly besieging the enemy's capital, when fighting against the Qin State, the princes did not dare to leave their capital empty, for fear of being directly destroyed by the tyrannical Qin. In this army guarding the royal capital, the officers and officers are all noble children recruited from all over the country, and the soldiers are all strong men who are one in a hundred.

Running with heavy loads, fighting and fighting, the final winner made up this strong army, the king of Zhao entertained them with meat, and the ordinary soldiers could wear armor and hold shields, which can be said to be the most elite army of Zhao State. King Zhao was reluctant to let them leave the palace on weekdays, and only occasionally encountered small-scale wars would he send them to practice their hands as actual combat drills, probably this time, he thought the same.

Yan Guo no longer has a main general, just like scattered sand, send an elite knight, kill a few more Yan people, and practice hands, of course, it is also good.

After getting the tiger talisman, Lou Chang summoned two thousand elite knights, Xu Li had already prepared to go on the expedition, after gathering the soldiers, Lou Chang sent people to mobilize the grain and grass materials used in the expedition, Xu Li waited for two days, Lou Chang did not have the slightest intention of going to the expedition, Xu Li was furious, and came directly to the door. Fortunately, Lou Chang's doorman did not stop his thoughts, and directly brought him to see Lou Chang.

Lou Changzheng was sitting indoors, looking at the books indifferently, and when he saw Xu Li coming, he was very happy, and hurriedly stood up, "Xu Jun, you are here, sit down, I was about to ask you about the war!" Xu Li snorted coldly and said angrily: "The lord trusts you, so you can lead the army to the battle, but two days have passed, and you are still studying indoors, you are so neglectful of the war, this is a big crime!" ”

Lou Chang was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "I didn't slack off, but the grain and grass have not yet been gathered, and now the grain and grass are extremely scarce, so I can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield on an empty stomach, this cavalry has to consume more food than the foot soldiers, you have to give me a time to prepare." ”

Xu Li said angrily: "The army you lead is valued by the lord, and they have hoarded a lot of grain and grass, how can it take so long to prepare?" ”

"Do I have to bring only the food I need? In the past, Ma Fuzi didn't bring much grain and grass, but now that he is running out of food and grass and needs support, how can you only think about yourself? Can't you think about Ma Fuzi? I gathered grain and grass to send it to Ma Fuzi. Lou Chang said dissatisfiedly.

Xu Li was speechless for a while, and said viciously: "If you deliberately delay time again, I will go to Shangjun and ask for your crime to be punished!" After speaking, he also ignored Lou Chang's retention, turned around and left the mansion, Lou Chang calmly watched him leave and smiled, but he was just a reckless man from a humble background. Lou Chang sat down again and looked at Zhao Guo's map seriously.

The Yan people were burned with grain and grass, they wanted to attack Bairen, this is impossible, hungry, they always need to find something to eat, and when they are hungry and can't stand it, they go out to rob the people, and officially become brutal thieves, think about the sudden appearance of nearly 10,000 thieves in Zhao State, looting everywhere, all over half of Zhao State, heh, this harm is not less than the Yan people besieging Handan, so that Ma Fuzi's merits will become sins.

Ma Fuzi had less than a thousand people around him, and he couldn't defeat the rest of the routs at all, and if he didn't have reinforcements, he could only watch the Yan people flee in all directions and become thieves. And once they disperse, even if their own reinforcements arrive, it will take several years for Ma Fuzi to lead people to capture them all. Lou Chang laughed gloomily, or said to himself:

"What's the hurry... I'm not a villain vying for merit... You can't rob the horse of the clothes..."

In the following days, Lou Chang waited unhurriedly for the grain and grass to be gathered, during this period, Xu Li met with King Zhao several times, and King Zhao also urged Lou Chang several times, Lou Chang then set off to prepare for Bairen, Lou Chang sat in the car, and the knights gathered around and left Handan. It's just that he didn't let the knights rush to Bairen at full speed, and also sent the knights to be on guard around and return to their lives at any time, resulting in the marching speed even inferior to the chariot troops!

As soon as the sky was a little dark, Lou Chang would ask the soldiers to stop and camp to rest and stop marching. In the early morning, he was reluctant to march earlier, but asked the soldiers to eat well first, prepare enough mental strength, Lou Chang came to question him several times, Lou Chang Zhenzhen said, "There are a lot of Yan people's routs, what if you encounter a sneak attack by Yan people?" "If we march in a hurry, and by the time we reach Bairen we are already a tired army, how can we fight? ”

Finally, when Lou Chang said that the weather was too cold and he should rest, Xu Li couldn't bear it anymore.

Lou Chang and two pro-soldiers sat on the left side of the chariot, he was covered with a thick coat, the pro-soldiers on the side were lighting a fire for him, and one was preparing to boil some water for him, Lou Chang was sitting here very comfortably, squinting his eyes, the soldiers were stacking blocks, "Bang~~", suddenly someone kicked over his firewood, the pro-soldiers were furious, and stood up suddenly, but they saw the angry Xu Li.

The pro-soldiers didn't dare to attack, looked at him aggrievedly, Xu Li pushed him away and stood in front of Lou Chang.

Lou Chang slowly opened his eyes, raised his head, looked at Xu Li in front of him, and asked with a smile, "General Xu Li, what's the matter with you?" Xu Li stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed Lou Chang's neck, and dragged him up, his forehead touched his forehead, like an angry bull, he gasped, and said: "Please give the order immediately and rush to Bairen at full speed!! ”

Lou Chang was taken aback, and then scolded: "Do you want to rebel? I'm the master! He leaned back, stretched out his fingers and pointed at Xu Li's chest, and said viciously: "You are just a lieutenant, you are not qualified to play... Ah~~", but at that moment, Xu Li grabbed his finger and snapped it suddenly, "Click~", Lou Chang's finger was directly broken, and Lou Chang shouted bitterly, "He wants to reverse!" He's going to be opposed!! ”

The surrounding soldiers looked at the two of them in surprise, but they were indifferent.

Xu Li looked at Lou Chang coldly, grabbed his neck with one hand, and slowly pulled out the short sword from his waist with the other, Lou Chang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly whispered: "Please spare me, if you kill me, the soldiers will not obey your orders, even if you rush to Bairen with the soldiers, the soldiers will not dare to fight, and the battle will definitely fail!" Xu Li looked at the frightened soldiers around him.

He put his short sword against Lou Chang's abdomen and said, "Please get on the chariot!" Lou Chang trembled and got into the car, Xu Li stood beside him and said, "Please give the order to go to Bairen at full speed!" ”

"Full speed to Bairen !!" , Lou Chang shouted, the soldiers jumped up, quickly got on the horses, the knights galloped madly in the direction of Bairen, Lou Chang's face was pale, sweat was constantly dripping on his forehead, he looked at Xu Li, smirked, his face was full of smiles, but in his eyes, there was unforgettable hatred. Damn the horseman, even if you march to Bairen now, it will be too late, and when you return to Handan, I will break every finger of you!

And at this moment, in Shancheng, because there was no food for a long time, the Yan people were almost crazy.

In the entire city of Shancheng, almost even the worms in the soil were dug out and eaten by them, and the horses of the soldiers had already become a meal on the plate of the generals. There were several unrests, and the soldiers could not control these soldiers, and the bodies that died in the turmoil disappeared mysteriously after being buried.

"Ma Fuzi, he killed all the generals who were caught??" Standing on the city wall, Yang Ji grabbed the neck of the soldier who fled from Bairen and asked coldly. The soldier was frightened and anxious, nodded his head, and said: "Ma Fuzi said that the soldiers do not know the truth of benevolence and righteousness, and can only obey the orders of the generals, although he cannot be blamed for killing the enemy's soldiers on the battlefield, but because the generals know these truths, they do not dissuade the monarch from launching unjust wars, and let the soldiers kill innocent people." ”

"This is something he can't forgive, and he also said that as long as I follow the river and return to Yan and don't kill the people along the road, he won't chase and kill me, and the knights won't stop me, but if I hurt the people of Zhao, he will chase Yan and kill me...", the soldier said tremblingly.

"Shut up! Say no more! Yang Ji said angrily, he looked at the few generals around him, and said, "Zhao Kuo, this is trying to kill us all... Since he has no benevolence and righteousness, we will let him know that the Yan people cannot be underestimated. Only then did he raise his head, facing the many soldiers surrounding the steps of the city wall, and shouted: "What he said is a lie, Zhao Kuo will kill all the Yan people!" ”

"We killed his friends, his comrades, how can he forgive us?"

"The way back has been cut off by the cavalry of Zhao State! I want to take you to all regions of Zhao State, and in Zhao State, there is grain and grass! Some are beautiful women! Even if you want to die, you can't starve to death here!! Yang Ji shouted, and as soon as he finished speaking, the soldier he caught shouted in fear: "No, Ma Fuzi does not allow us to harm the people, he is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, he will... Uh..."

Yang Ji's short sword had already pierced into his chest, and he kicked the soldier off the city wall with one kick, then looked at everyone and said, "He has been bought by Zhao Kuo!" He is the internal response arranged by Zhao Kuo!! ”

However, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom did not speak, just looked at him coldly.

"The soldier who was forgiven by Ma Fuzi died at the hands of our own general." , A soldier with a thick beard looked at the twitching corpse on the ground, gritted his teeth and said. As soon as he said this, the surrounding Yan people hurriedly looked at him, Yang Ji was furious, pointed at him and said, "Arrest him!" He's also guilty! The soldier laughed and looked at Yang Ji angrily, and he shouted:

"Fellow! I heard that Confucius said that the monarch will treat his subordinates as his own siblings, and his subordinates will treat the monarch as his own heart, the monarch will treat his subordinates like dogs and horses, and his subordinates will treat the monarch like passers-by, the monarch will treat his subordinates like dirt and mustard, and the subordinates will treat the monarch like a robber enemy! Today, these flesh-eaters don't even treat us like dirt and mustard! Instead, I was treated like a slave!! ”

"The horses of the Zhao State released the guilty soldiers, forgave their sins, and even healed them, giving them a little grain and grass... Even the guilty can be treated like his own siblings!! In that case, I am willing to regard Ma Fuzi as my heart, and these stupid meat eaters as my enemies! What do the second and third sons think?! ”

"Good! They killed my steed, but they didn't leave us a mouthful! ”

"I saw with my own eyes that they brought all the grain and grass brought by the grain transporters into their mansions!!"

"Your subordinates will treat the monarch like a bandit enemy!!"

The Yan soldiers shouted, raised the ordnance in their hands, and pointed at their respective generals, Yang He looked at them blankly, and kept muttering in his mouth:

"Wrong.. You're all wrong.. Wrong... That's what Mencius said...."

"You... What do you want to do?! Your family is still in Yan Kingdom! You guys..."

"Wrong..."
