Zhao Kuo was sitting indoors, looking at Zhao Guoyu seriously.

Most of the rout of the Yan State was concentrated in the two regions of Yancheng and Songzicheng, while the rest of the places, such as Fang, Yuanshi, Fenglong, Yi'an, Fei, Xiyang, Jiumen, Quan, Ningjia, Shicheng and other cities, were all under the control of the Yan people, except for Longdui, which bordered the Yan State, and Wu Sui, these two points were cut off by the knights of the Zhao State, and the Yan people were attacked from both sides and were trapped in Zhongshan, Zhao Kuo suddenly regretted it at the moment.

Maybe he shouldn't let the knights in the clouds cut off the enemy's retreat, so that the enemy can probably return to Yan Country according to the original way, but now they have no way to retreat, no commander in general, and they don't dare to attack, if they flee, run into Taiyuan and other areas, and become Liukou, then I don't know how many people will be poisoned by them. Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly, looked at Zhao Fu on the side, and asked, "The reinforcements still haven't arrived?" ”

Zhao Fu shook his head and did not speak.

Now Zhao Kuo's troops are too small, if the reinforcements arrive, he can quickly send troops to the direction of Dunhe Mountain and Changcheng, control the stone city in the west, the two cities of Jingcheng Sai, and Changcheng in the east, and then let the knights in the clouds rush to the left people in the west, Quyang, Lingshou, and rush to Kucheng and Quyang in the east, and connect with Zhao Kuo's army, surround the enemy from three sides, and drive them to return to Yan according to the original route.

The biggest problem is that the reinforcements are nowhere to be seen until now, relying on these infantry in their hands now, not to mention quickly rushing to these cities to defend, it is not easy to hold Bairen, Zhao Kuo really doesn't understand, it stands to reason that he defeated the Yan people, how could King Zhao not refuse to send reinforcements, the reinforcements he wants are all cavalry, why hasn't he rushed to Bairen for so long?

For a moment, the room seemed a little silent, and neither of them spoke.

"General!" , The young man hurriedly walked into the room, breaking the silent atmosphere, Zhao Kuo hurriedly looked at him, the young man was called Zhao Bu, a son of the clan, the son of Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang, and the current king of Zhao is a brother of the same generation, but there are too many sons of Zhao Bao, and it is difficult for King Zhao to remember this younger brother. Zhao Bu was not as arrogant as Handanzao, but he seemed a little inferior, and he didn't dare to talk to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo trembled a little when he heard his voice, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The Yan people have abandoned Shancheng and are rushing in the direction of Bairen!" , Zhao Bu said seriously, and Zhao Kuo saw that his whole body was trembling slightly. Zhao Kuo stood up and looked at Zhao Fu on the side, Zhao Fu was also very surprised, the Yan people had no food and grass, and even the main general and deputy general were killed, how could they dare to attack Bairen? Could it be that the one who is called Yang Ji really has such a ability? Can you quickly pacify a defeated army, and organize another attack?

"Let's go, let's go to the city wall!" , Zhao Kuo's injuries gradually improved, without wearing armor, he was able to walk normally, and walked out of the inner room with the two of them, and saw Ge squatting in the courtyard to repair his chariot, clanging, and found that Zhao Kuo hurriedly walked out, Ge also stood up, looked at them suspiciously, Zhao Fu said in a low voice: "Yan people are here." Ge dropped what he was holding and hurriedly followed Zhao Kuo.

Walking on the city wall, several old soldiers hurriedly greeted Ma Fuzi, and after Zhao Kuo returned the salute, he squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. Sure enough, the Yan people appeared outside the city again, but they didn't look like they were going to attack the city, there was no cavalry to open the way, there was no division of the three armies, and there was not even a formation.

This made Zhao Kuo even more surprised, what did these Yan people want to do?

Soon, these people gathered under the city, and Zhao Kuo saw clearly that most of these Yan soldiers did not carry weapons, and even the group of people at the front were naked, with branches and other things tied behind them.... Guilty of petitioning? Zhao Kuo looked at them blankly, and suddenly a Yan soldier with a thick beard walked under the city wall, raised a human head in his hand, and shouted: "Yan people, please surrender!" ”

Zhao Fu hurriedly translated for Zhao Kuo: "They want to surrender. ”

"General, beware of their deception.... It's better to let them back down first, and then we will send someone to negotiate with them...", Zhao Fu said, Zhao Kuo shook his head, and he asked, "Would you like to meet these Yan people with me?" I don't know the Yan language...", Zhao Fu hurriedly said: "Then please let me go out of the city alone to meet them, please stay in the city, in case you are held hostage by the enemy." ”

"It's fine... If they have the heart to attack the city, how can I, even if I am in the city, resist it? Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Bu on the side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If something happens, please don't take care of me, shoot directly with a strong bow!" This is my military order, and you must obey it! Zhao Bu's face was red, and he nodded heavily, Zhao Kuo walked down the city, Zhao Fu wanted to say something, but he just sighed and followed Zhao Kuo.

The city gate slowly opened, and Zhao Kuo and Zhao Fu walked out of the city and looked at the Yan soldiers in front of them.

Zhao Kuo was not wearing a military uniform, but most of these soldiers knew him, some knew him after being captured, some knew him on the battlefield, when his chariot killed him, they saw this terrifying face clearly, and when they saw Zhao Kuo at this moment, these routs were suddenly a little uneasy, several people subconsciously wanted to retreat, and even fell, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Zhao Kuo smiled, walked directly to the thick-bearded Yan Guo soldier, and asked, "Second and third sons, do you want to go home?" ”

Zhao Fu was translating on the side, and the soldier suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Kuo, raised the head in his hand, and said: "We heard that Ma Fuzi only pursued the crimes of the generals, so he killed all the generals above the uncle, and asked you for the guilt, please forgive us for our crimes, and let us go home." Wow, many Yan soldiers knelt down one after another, Zhao Bu on the city wall saw the most clearly, and the dense Yan people collectively knelt in front of Zhao Kuo, this scene made Zhao Bu's eyes widen and he was extremely excited.

Zhao Kuo only then noticed that these soldiers at the front were carrying some heads, these people were almost blind to death, round eyes, they never thought that one day, they would die in the hands of slaves driven by themselves, Zhao Kuo kneeled in front of him Yan people pawn up, it seems that he is the leader of these soldiers, Zhao Kuo looked at him seriously, and said: "I will let the second and third sons return to Yan Kingdom." ”

Zhao Kuo accepted the heads of those Yan people, and then appointed Zhao Fu and others, leading these Yan people back to their hometown, Zhao Kuo does not have much food here, but there are many large and small rivers here, along the big river all the way to the north, there is no shortage of fish, there are also a lot of wild vegetables along the road, wild beasts can be eaten, there are Zhao people who are familiar with this place to lead the way, these strong Yan people as long as they are diligent, will not starve to death on the way.

The main reason why they were trapped in the city and could not escape, and they could not find any food, was mainly because they did not know the surrounding environment, and the chestnut belly with Yutu had already died in the battle, and the soldiers could not even tell the direction, let alone go out of the city to hunt and fish. After learning that he could return to the Yan Kingdom and that Zhao Kuo would not kill him, these Yan people were very excited and cried.

It's been a long time since they've been away from their hometown, and they miss their families and everything they have to do back home.

Zhao Fu, with dozens of cavalry, decided to act as their guide and lead them back to Yan Kingdom, and Zhao Kuo also instructed him, met the knights in the clouds, and told them his military order that these soldiers could not be killed, and let them escort these soldiers back to Yan Kingdom along the road. The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom bowed down to Zhao Kuo and thanked him again and again for his kindness, then wiped their tears and walked behind him.

The soldier with a thick beard stayed for a long time, looking at Zhao Kuo seriously, as if he wanted to remember his face deeply.

"Do you want to stay with me?"

After Zhao Fu translated, the soldier just shook his head. Zhao Kuo didn't say anything more, Zhao Fu opened the way in the front, everyone went back one by one, the sturdy soldier looked at Zhao Kuo, and said in a low voice: "You are really a benevolent person, I didn't have the blessing to follow you, this is my biggest regret, please take care, after I die, I will also use a straw rope to lasso your enemy and repay your kindness." ”

"What do you say? I don't understand Yan. Zhao Kuo asked a little dazedly.

The soldier grinned, and then turned to leave.
