When the envoy of the State of Chu came to the State of Zhao, he was almost stunned.

He saw that the officials of Zhao Di were personally helping the people harvest the crops, and even drove to transport the grain. This made many Chu envoys who left Zhao very dazed, because of the war just experienced, the people everywhere were still shrouded in a cloud of pain, along the way, he saw those Han people who lost their homeland, Wei people who lost their families, that kind of strong despair, unsolvable sorrow, is not able to solve Pingyuan Jun.

Even in the harvest season, there is not much joy on the faces of the people, but Zhao Guo is different.

The Zhao people seem to have forgotten the hardships caused by the war, on the road, you can often see the Zhao people humming an unknown tune with a basket on their backs, the crops of the Zhao country are not better than those of the Han and Wei countries, and the life of the Zhao people is not necessarily better than that of the neighboring countries, but it is an indescribable difference, it is a spiritual difference, and the difference can be seen from the smiles and their faces.

Chu Envoy couldn't help but be a little moved, and he valued Wei Wuji even more in his heart.

However, when the Chu envoys talked to these Zhao people, they found that it was not Wei Wuji who said the most, but their Ma Fujun. The old people showed their teeth and said with a smile: "Ma Fujun has come to my house and eaten my food. The children rode bamboo horses and carried sticks, and usually the eldest child played the role of Ma Fujun, and the rest were his disciple generals, who ran around the countryside, chanting the name of Ma Fujun.

The officials treated the Chu envoy very politely, and when they talked about Ma Fujun, they praised him again and again, feeling his benevolence and righteousness.

And those strong men looked at Chu Envoy arrogantly, loudly talking about his deeds of fighting with Ma Fujun, and Chu Envoy vaguely felt his disdain and pride for himself. In their spare time, there are often people sitting at the gate of the township, talking about the deeds of Ma Fujun, there must be a group of people listening around, after learning that the envoy of Chu is here, they all raise their heads and look at him with disdain.

The carriage of the Chu envoy and the carriage of a Zhao merchant happened to be blocked on the road, and the Chu envoy stood up impatiently and asked angrily: Don't you know the truth that the humble give way to the noble?

Shang Jia actually raised his head and asked loudly: Do you know the horse service king of Zhao State?

Chu Envoy's eyes widened, not knowing how to respond. However, this merchant Jia quickly got out of the way, and when the Chu envoy passed by, the merchant bowed to him, and then said to the Chu envoy: If Ma Fujun is opposite me, he will make way for me, and you won't, this is the reason why you are not as good as Ma Fujun, now I make way for you, don't think that I am afraid of you, this is because I am a Zhao person, and I want to emulate Ma Fujun's morality. ”

When the Chu envoy heard this, he was ashamed, covered his face with his sleeves, and fled in a hurry.

Chu Envoy never thought that one person could actually change an entire country.

When the Chu envoy arrived in Handan, it was Wei Wuji who came to greet him and brought him to King Zhao. King Zhao looked at the envoy in front of him, the envoy of Chu behaved very respectfully, he told Wei Wuji the idea of Chu directly, without the slightest cover-up, this is also Huang Xie's order, Huang Xie said: Wei Wuji is a bold person, he doesn't like others to hide it.

After the envoy of Chu told Wei Wuji and King Zhao of his intention, he quietly waited for their reply, Wei Wuji looked at King Zhao and said: "Now all countries, no country can fight against Qin alone, only by uniting can we face the violent Qin, please promise King Chu that Zhao and Chu will get along amicably, this is something that Qin does not want to see, and the talents of both countries are willing to see." ”

Since Wei Wuji said so, then King Zhao naturally has no reason to object, he promised the Chu envoy, Chu envoy himself never thought that things would go so smoothly, it's just that King Zhao was not willing to let the Chu envoy go back to tell him, he wanted to set up a banquet to entertain the Chu envoy, the envoy wanted to go back to complete his mission earlier, but also did not dare to refuse the kindness of King Zhao, the two countries just promised to form an alliance, he refused King Zhao's invitation, if this ruined the big thing, then his mission would not be completed.

People in this era take their mission very seriously, almost to the point of paranoia, in South Korea, there have just been a few bloody cases, first Mu was given death, after he died, he felt that he could not protect him, obviously promised the imperial history, but failed to complete the mission of the Si Kou committed suicide, after the suicide of the Si Kou, he felt that he had killed Mu and the Si Kou Yu Shi Su also committed suicide.

The envoy still stayed to participate in the banquet of King Zhao, the scale of this banquet was not large, only a few of King Zhao's henchmen, such as Zhao Hui, Si Kou Dong Chengzi and others, King Zhao looked at the envoy of Chu happily and asked: "Xunzi is in Chu State, is he doing well?" The Chu envoy hurriedly replied: "He has a good life, seriously handles the government affairs of Lanling, and accepts a lot of disciples to teach. ”

King Zhao was a little disappointed, nodded, and asked again: "I heard that there are as many virtuous talents in the Chu State as there are stars, I don't know what virtuous talents there are?" ”

The envoy replied: "There is a respected gentleman like Chun Shenjun in the Chu State, and there are brave generals like Jingyang and Xiang Xian...", and he simply introduced the sages of the Chu State, and King Zhao's eyes lit up and he was very excited.

Xianyang of the Qin State

King Qin looked at Fan Ju in front of him seriously, the two had just finished reading the information sent by the secret agent, Fan Ju was very calm, but King Qin looked a little impatient and annoyed at the moment, King Qin said angrily: "The State of Chu has drawn up an alliance with the State of Wei and South Korea, and has decided to advance and retreat together to resist foreign enemies, and they are going to unite to deal with the State of Qin!" Fan Ju shook his head with a smile and said, "King, what you said is not right. ”

"Oh?"

"Zhao Guo, Qi Guo, will also participate in the alliance in the near future, this is something that can be determined now."

When the King of Qin heard this, he became even more angry and said, "The five countries are united to prepare to crusade against the Qin State, why don't you seem to be worried at all?" Fan Ju laughed, and he said: "This is Huang Xie's strategy, and the Chu State wants to dominate." The King of Qin frowned, still not quite understanding, and Fan Ju said again: "Today's princes are afraid of the strength of the Qin State, fidgeting, and hiding in the palace in fear, for fear of hearing the news of the Qin State's attack. ”

"Huang Xie wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take Chu as the leader and form an alliance with the Five Kingdoms, his purpose is to increase the prestige of the Chu State, and defeat the Qin State with the help of the hands of the Five Kingdoms, so as to establish the hegemony of the Chu State, and the current proposed alliance is only the first step in his strategy." balance

"He knew that the Qin State needed to restore its national strength and would not start a war in the short term, so he drew up an alliance, so that there was no need to go to war with the Qin State in the short term, and it could also make the fools of the Five Kingdoms think that it was the blessing of the Chu State, so that they could avoid war, so as to increase the status of the Chu State in the hearts of the countries, and prepare for the future invasion of the Qin coalition led by the Chu State." , Fan Ju said, and couldn't help laughing.

"When we were thinking about annexation, the state of Chu was thinking about hegemony, and now we want to be the king of the world, and the state of Chu is still thinking about hegemony... Hahaha~~", Fan Ju laughed disdainfully and said, "What's there to worry about?" ”

King Qin glanced at him, and then said: "When Ma Fujun's words were not transmitted to the Qin State, you also had the same thoughts as him, please don't despise our opponents." Fan Ju was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I won't despise him, my thoughts are like this." He paused, and then said: "The strategy of the Chu State is based on the fact that the Qin State will not start a war in the short term, so it is also a very simple matter to destroy the alliance. ”

"Please send Wu Anjun with 10,000 elite soldiers to Korea, the Han people have beaten our envoy and insulted you, this is what we cannot tolerate, please write to the king of Han, the king of Han must personally rush to Xianyang and ask you for the guilt, otherwise, Wu Anjun will destroy his country and capture his people." , Fan Ju said calmly, and King Qin nodded thoughtfully.

"However, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will make the princes more afraid of the Qin State, so that the strategy of the Chu State will succeed, if the Five Nations Alliance Army crusades against the Qin State, the widow is worried that even Wu Anjun will not be able to deal with such a situation." , King Qin asked with some concern.

Fan Ju said: "The State of Qi and the State of Yan will never send troops to the State of Qin, this point, I can swear to you, the State of Zhao has just experienced a great war, the country is young and strong, and it is the time of the autumn harvest, how can it be possible to send troops for Korea?" As for the Wei State, the Wei State had no generals to command the troops, and after another major defeat, the King of Wei did not dare to send troops, and the only one who could save Korea was the Chu State. ”

"Huang Xie has always avoided the outbreak of war between Qin and Chu, and wants to weaken Qin through other means, so Chu will not send troops."

"If he sends troops, it will be better, take advantage of the fact that the princes can't help him, and let Wu Anjun help Huang Xie and the King of Chu calm down." , Fan Ju said, his eyes were full of fierce light.

King Qin laughed, nodded, and said, "The widow will write a letter to King Han." ”

In a certain courtyard in Xianyang, Bai Qi was smiling and explaining to Meng Wu what he needed to pay attention to in the war, Bai Qi was not a qualified teacher, and the art of war he told Meng Wu was not complicated, but only told him very simple things. He didn't tell Meng Wu how to set up the formation, but he told him to set up the formation quickly, and he didn't tell Meng Wu how to judge the other party's intentions, he just told Meng Wu to judge the other party's intentions in time.

This seems to others to be a bit confused nonsense, but Meng Wu listens to it with relish. He also recorded Bai Qi's words on the bamboo slips very seriously, and looked at them over and over again every day, he was either in the barracks or by Bai Qi's side, and he didn't even go home, his wife cried every day to complain to Meng Wu's parents, she was pregnant and about to give birth, but Meng Wu ignored her and ran around.

This is Meng Wu's first child, and he cares about it very much, but he feels that it is because of the child that he should work harder to learn the art of war, and it is best to earn a feudal position through war, so that his child can inherit the title in the future, he occasionally thinks, if it is a girl, it will be named Shan, if it is a boy, it should be named Tian, or Yi.

"What should I pay attention to during the night attack?"

"Don't attack at night." , Bai Qi shook his head and said, Meng Wu was stunned for a moment, and Bai Qi then said gently: "Before marching, before fighting, you must calculate the time well to avoid fighting at night and being attacked at night, this is what a general should do." If you are attacked at night, you must be calm, you can't move your soldiers at will, as long as you can be prepared, the first to rout must be the first to attack. ”

Bai Qi was about to say more, when suddenly several samurai walked into the courtyard, and they brought a royal decree from the king of Qin, asking Bai Qi to leave immediately and prepare to crusade against Korea. Bai Qi stood up in surprise and took over the royal order, Meng Wu was also very surprised, why was he suddenly about to crusade against Korea? Or do you want Wu Anjun to personally lead the troops? To deal with a country like South Korea, do you still need Wu Anjun to do it himself?

Meng Wu turned his head curiously, looked at Bai Qi, and asked, "Can you take me?" ”

Bai Qibing didn't answer, he took the royal order, and when he raised his head again, his face had become extremely indifferent, and he could no longer see the smile he had on weekdays, his frosty face, and his murderous face, so frightened that Meng Wudu took a few steps back, not daring to approach, Bai Qi bowed his head towards the messenger, and said coldly:

"Take your orders."

Meng Wu still joined the ranks of the army as he wished, and the King of Qin temporarily gathered a group of old Qin people from Xianyang, they were all the elite of Qin, and they were warriors who could serve as successor officers during the war, but it took less than ten days for the army to gather in the palace of Xianyang, and these elite warriors who had experienced nearly ten years of training were soon reorganized by Bai Qi, and Meng Wu was also appointed as Bai Qi's deputy general.

The army set off from Xianyang, towards the direction of South Korea, along the way, Bai Qi no longer refused to say a word to Meng Wu, and Meng Wu did not dare to ask at all, to be honest, he was very afraid of Bai Qi in the state of war, Bai Qi at this time will be very terrifying, there was once a general who fought with Bai Qi for many years, because of a small mistake, the number of people killed in the battle under his command far exceeded the number of beheadings, so he was ruthlessly killed by Bai Qi.

Because of this, no one neglected Bai Qi's orders anymore, and no one dared to be careless, because Bai Qi never cared about these, in the eyes of many people, he was a cold war machine, so there were many soldiers and generals who admired him, but they were also afraid of him and did not dare to approach him.

When he heard that Bai Qi led the army of Qin to kill Korea, King Han could no longer keep his calm, he panicked, he was trembling all over, extremely frightened, he gathered his ministers in a panic, constantly wiped the sweat on his forehead, lowered his posture, and asked them for advice on how to repel Bai Qi, but no matter how he asked, his ministers were silent and did not say a word.

King Han was furious, and he trembled and asked, "Isn't there a sage in Korea who can repel Bai Qi for the widow?" ”

"Yes."

"Who'??!"

"Lieutenant Mu, Si Kolou, and Yu Shisu."

"Someone! Pull this guy out of the widow! Chop!! Chop!! ”
