The horse rubbed its front hooves restlessly.

The carriage was filled with flames.

The rider died on the left side of the carriage, with a spear in his chest, staring blankly at the sky, already cold, while not far away was a fallen nobleman, dressed in luxurious clothes, lying on the ground, with arrows stuck in his back. This is the road to Hanoi, and the nobles are called Wei Sui, who is a messenger to the state of Zhao, and he is not going to meet the king of Zhao, but to meet Wei Wuji and convey the royal decree of the king of Wei.

The king of Wei asked Wei Wuji to retreat to Hanoi to prevent a counterattack by the Qin.

In fact, this was only his nominal purpose, and his real intention was to order the generals of Wei to take Wei Wuji and return to Daliang.

It's a pity that he didn't make it to Zhao Di, he was attacked halfway through, the identity of the attacker, I don't know for the time being, but you can imagine how frightened the King of Wei will be when the news of the assassination of the noble man reaches Daliang, and what kind of turmoil will there be in the Wei State.

At this time, Zhao Kuo's camp outside Danshui was also not very stable.

The scout brought the latest news, the envoy of the Qin State was coming towards Danshui, and he would probably be able to rush here tomorrow to meet Zhao Kuo. This envoy is none other than Zhao Ren Lou Zhuan, Lou Chang's elder and the biggest traitor in Zhao State. After Zhao Kuo learned about the relationship between the envoy and Lou Chang, he didn't want to see the envoy of the Qin State very much, but he was still very happy, because he could sense that the Qin people sent the envoy this time to really want to end the war.

Ending the war has always been Zhao Kuo's long-cherished wish.

The war he experienced in those days was Zhao Kuo's nightmare, the wails of the soldiers still echoed in his ears, and the pleading sound made by Handan, he couldn't forget it, Zhao Kuo felt that he had never gone crazy, probably because the original Zhao Kuo had a strong heart. There were countless emotions, remorse, self-blame, pain, he couldn't find any positive emotions, and whenever he felt that he couldn't breathe, he would go to look at the soldiers outside the door.

Listen to them talk about their hometown, and listen to them talk about their lovers.

Sometimes he didn't dare to sleep alone in the tent, and when he picked up the water in his hand to drink, he could see that the water in his hand had turned into a blood-red liquid, dripping constantly, and he would hesitate for a long time before drinking it all.

This hateful, hateful, terrible war is finally coming to an end.

Zhao Kuo summoned several of his most trusted guests besides Di, as well as the generals of Zhao and Wei to discuss matters in the tent, and he wanted to tell everyone about this good thing. In addition, it is the worry in his heart, after so much, he is no longer the simple young man in the horse suit, he no longer believes in the Qin people, the envoy of the Qin people has arrived, I am afraid that it is not just for peace talks, after the end of the flesh and blood war, there will be a war without a spear.

And this war is even more cruel, and sometimes, even more blood can be shed than a war of swords.

Zhao Kuo sat on the top seat, he originally wanted Wei Wuji to sit next to him, after all, both of them were the main generals, but Wei Wuji didn't care about this, according to his words, it was no problem to give him a wine bag and let him stand outside the camp tent. Zhao Kuo had no choice but to let him sit on the position closest to his right, but Lian Po threw Wei Wuji an empty wine bag, so he lifted him up, threw him aside, and sat down closest to Zhao Kuo.

Wei Wuji looked blankly at the empty wine bag in his hand and laughed out loud.

Zhao is respected on the left, and the right is respected in the army.

Therefore, the generals are sitting on the right, and the doormen are sitting on the left, and there are not many people, Lian Po on the right, Wei Wuji, Tian Yue, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Hou Ying and others, and on the left hand Bian Ge, Li Yu, Xing, Wang Fan, Zhao Fu and other doormen. After everyone arrived, Zhao Kuofang told the messenger about the arrival, and as soon as he finished speaking, Tian Yue suddenly got up and said, "There is a fraud!" ”

Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly, Tian Yue was a little too cautious, when he was fighting with Bai Qi, the general was in charge of pursuit, and he didn't get anything in fear, and later Lian Po, who learned about it, wanted to cut him down, but prudence also has the benefit of prudence, at least, Bai Qi didn't think that he could break through from him, Lian Po liked the aggressive Li Mu very much, but he hated this cautious Tian Yue very much.

He recognized Tian Yue's talent, but his personality made the old general very unhappy.

Tian Yue frowned and said, "If the Qin people want to negotiate peace, they should go to Handan, how can they come to see the general?" This must be a ploy of the Qin people, maybe the Qin people want to assassinate the general, or they want to find out the news of our army.... In short, they certainly did not come to see the general for the sake of peace, please send someone to stop them, general, simply send someone to send them to Handan, and not let them come to the Danshui camp. ”

"That's not right." , Li Yu, who was sitting on the left side, suddenly spoke, he frowned, thought seriously, and said: "Shaojun, what General Tian Yue said makes sense, they must have some kind of plan when they come to see you, but it will definitely not be assassination or inquiry." I think that Lou Xuan is here to divide you, he deliberately came to Danshui Camp to talk to you about the truce, the truce and the start of the war, this is a major matter that the two monarchs should talk about, how can the general give an order? ”

"He deliberately provoked your relationship with the Emperor and made the Emperor think that you had the intention of replacing you."

After Li Yu finished speaking, all of a sudden, everyone fell silent, this topic seemed a little sensitive, especially in front of so many people, Zhao Kuo's face remained unchanged, he smiled indifferently, and said: "What you said is very reasonable, but I still don't want to drive him away." Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, for a while, everyone was shocked, and the guests looked at each other, some were surprised, some were angry, some were expectant, and some were excited.

And the generals here were also extremely surprised, Lian Po frowned, he was thinking: Should he restrain Zhao Kuo? Tian Yue covered his ears and trembled: The general shouldn't kill me, right? Li Mu held his chin with his hand and thought seriously: where to attack Handan.

Zhao Kuo quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing, he shook his head and said: "Whether it is political or military, the Qin people are in the hands of the initiative, they continue to attack, using despicable strategies, we can only resolve them one by one, I attacked once before, killed their messengers, and destroyed their strategies, but this is not enough, I think, also take the initiative to attack once, so that the Qin people do not want to live so comfortably." ”

Hearing his words, the people were thoughtful.

Zhao Kuo lowered his voice, looked at everyone and said: "I have a plan....", he told everyone his thoughts one by one, the generals listened carefully, the guests raised their heads, laughing from time to time, and when Zhao Kuo finished saying his thoughts, the young Sima Shang grinned, looked at Zhao Kuo, and said: "Okay, your strategy is really insidious!" ”

Everyone turned their heads to stare at him, and Sima Shang hurriedly changed his words, "It's really... All right! ”

Zhao Kuo looked at everyone and said, "Then I have to wronged everyone, especially you...", he looked at Lian Po and said helplessly: "Please forgive me." Then he looked at Wei Wuji again, and Lian Po said with a smile: "It's okay, the Qin people have repeatedly murdered us, causing chaos in the palaces of the kings, and we will also let them taste this taste, don't worry, general, I will do what you tell me." ”

Wei Wuji also laughed and said, "Anyway, I'm going to tell the truth. ”

After everyone had completed their discussion, a doorman went to meet the envoy of Qin.

Lou Xuan is also Pang Xuan's friend, Pang Xuan has a kind of magic, his friends seem to be able to live a long life, such as Ji Xing, Le Yi, and this Lou Xuan, this is probably the reason why others are willing to become friends with Pang Xuan, Lou Xuan was originally a veteran minister of Zhao State, and was sent to Qin State as the state minister, and persuaded King Qin many times, which eased the relationship between the two countries, but the backstab from the old country made him lose his phase and was almost killed.

Since then, he has been extremely hostile to the Zhao State, and has constantly offered advice to the King of Qin to help weaken the Zhao State. This implicated his family in the Zhao State, so his family also defected to Qin and became a secret pawn in the Zhao State, transmitting information for the Qin State and helping to implement the Qin State's strategy.

The reason why the King of Qin sent him as an envoy this time was mainly because he was very familiar with the Zhao State, and the King of Qin also trusted him and thought that he could do the important things he commanded. Lou Zhuan's heart was just thinking about this world-famous Zhao Kuo, in the rumors, he was a benevolent and righteous gentleman, deeply loved by the Zhao people, supported by the soldiers, and even people like Wei Wuji were ashamed of themselves, but Lou Huan never believed in the rumors, he only believed in his own eyes.

As soon as his frame approached the camp, a soldier was waiting for him.

The leader was dressed in armor and tall, but he looked a little abnormal, staggering, and seemed to have drunk.

Seeing the carriage coming, the man hurriedly walked in front of Lou Yan, raised his head arrogantly, his face was full of disdain, and he asked, "Bai Qi didn't dare to fight again, so he sent you to ask for surrender?" Smelling the smell of wine, Lou was stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile and said; I'm here to meet Ma Fujun. The man nodded and said proudly: "Ma Fujun knows, I am Ma Fujun's doorman, called Li Yu!" ”

Li Yu waved his hand, got into another carriage, and opened the way for Lou Shu in front, Lou Shu looked at the few soldiers in front of him with their heads down and their faces full of frustration, he suddenly felt that this situation seemed to be a little different from what he knew, but this made him even more excited in his heart, he was a little expectant, can he do more big things? At last the carriage came to the tent, and there were not even any soldiers to guard it.

The tent was a little empty, and a few generals seemed to be drinking and playing, unarmoured, and disheveled.

However, Li Yu did not give Lou Huan a chance to ask, he stepped forward directly, took Lou Huan's hand, and dragged him into the camp tent, just walked into the camp tent, he saw a young man wearing bright armor, meticulous, standing in front of the map in front of the wall, looking at it seriously, hearing the movement behind him, he turned around, looked at Lou Shu in surprise, and said to Li Yu angrily: "Why did you bring him here?" What if he sees important military information? Let him out! ”

Lou Xuan couldn't speak, so he was dragged out by Li Yu again.

After a long time, he walked into the tent again, but saw that the map had been blocked, the young nobleman knelt down not far away, Lou Kuo hurriedly saluted him, Zhao Kuo just nodded casually, and let him sit in front of him, Lou Kuo looked at the young man in front of him seriously, Zhao Kuo said: "Did you let you come for nothing?" Why didn't Bai Qi come and surrender to me personally? ”

"Huh?" , Lou was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "I came to discuss peace with you on the order of the king." ”

"Peace? What peace? Zhao Kuo looked a little angry, he said angrily: "I won't negotiate peace with you, I want to force the Danshui and capture Bai Qi alive, this is my lord's royal order, and then, I will break through Hangu Pass and arrest the King of Qin!" He waved his hand and said, "Please go back and tell Bai Qi that next time, I won't be careless, so that he can successfully escape!" ”

Lou was stunned.

This thing is the sage who defeated General Bai Qi?

He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment before he stood up angrily and said, "I came here to end the war, if you insist on the war and don't care about the soldiers, then I will go back, please wait for General Bai Qi's attack!" When Zhao Kuo heard this, he suddenly laughed, and he said disdainfully: "Bai Qi? Only Lian Po, an incompetent person like Wei Wuji would be afraid, I fought with Bai Qi twice, won twice, and he is also worthy of being my opponent? ”

"Sending off!" , he ordered mercilessly.

Li Yu directly pushed Li Yu and pushed him out of the tent.

Standing outside the tent, Lou Xuan looked a little dazed, how is this not like the rumored Ma Fujun? No, it's not like it, this is completely an arrogant aristocratic son, without the slightest bit of celebrity qualifications! Just as Lou was standing here, a little helpless, suddenly a tall old general stood in front of him, this general looked a little vicissitudes of life, languishing, he asked in a low voice: "Is it the envoy of the Qin State?" ”

Lou slowly nodded, and the old general smiled bitterly and said, "I'm Lian Po." ”

Sitting in the tent, Lou Xuan looked at Lian Po and Wei Wuji in front of him, both of them looked decadent, drinking, hanging their heads, without saying a word, after a long time, Lian Po raised his head, stared at Lou Xuan with blood-red eyes, and said: "You shouldn't come here, Zhao Kuo's kid is not at peace, please go to Handan, you must end this war." Lou slowly looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"Zhao Kuo is still thinking about capturing Bai Qi alive..."

"Alas, this... I...", Lian Po wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything, sighed helplessly, looked at Wei Wuji in the distance, and said, "It's better for you to say it." Wei Wuji stared ahead, and said a little dazedly: "I and Lian Po's soldiers are dead, only Zhao Kuo's soldiers are still alive here... Can't fight anymore... This is white, why is it so fierce when we meet us, and we always lose when we fight against Zhao Kuo? ”

"Why?" , Wei Wuji raised his head and looked at Lian Po in front of him.

Lian Po shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It may be that we are not as good as this horse service gentleman." ”

Wei Wuji let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, after all, this can defeat 100,000 Yan soldiers with a few thousand soldiers... Famous generals, famous generals. Lian Po suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "What can you know in Wei Kingdom?" Zhao Kuo's father was a good friend of mine, and he once said that if Zhao Guo took Zhao Kuo as his general, it would definitely lead to the disaster of destruction, and his mother did not trust him... Even Lin Xiangru once said that Zhao Kuo would only read the art of war left by his father and would not lead soldiers. ”

"What about defeating Yan Guo?"

"At the beginning, he led his soldiers to crusade against Yan State, and it was actually Zhao Fu and Xu Li who really commanded the soldiers to fight."

"Zhao Fu is Zhao Hao's deputy general, Xu Li was also promoted by Zhao Hao, they helped Zhao Kuo win the Yanren, and later, Xu Li was forced to go to Yunzhong to be a county commander, but Zhao Fu became a military doctor, hehehe, this is a famous general, even his subordinates can't tolerate it." , Lian Po drank bitter wine and shook his head, he looked at Lou Chuan on the side, suddenly grabbed Lou Slow's neck, and asked angrily: "Is Bai Qi a fraud?" Is Zhao Kuo the internal response of the Qin State? ”

Lou slowly looked at him in horror and shook his head.

"Then why when Bai Qi attacked us, hundreds of thousands of soldiers couldn't stop him, and Zhao Kuo, who had fewer troops against him, always left his soldiers and fled?!"

"Why is that? I'm really not as good as him Zhao Kuo?! ”

Lian Po roared angrily, Wei Wuji hurriedly stepped forward, tore Lian Po away, rescued Lou Slow, and said helplessly: "Please don't care... He just drank a little too much... Please hurry to Handan, Zhao Kuo will not be willing to negotiate peace, as for the affairs of Wei, I can negotiate with you, we are willing to negotiate peace with Qin and stop the war. ”

Lou slowly looked at Wei Wuji and nodded.

But the heart is turbulent, and I can't be calm.

Could it be that Bai Qi deliberately lost to Zhao Kuo?

But why did he do it?
