Chapter Seventy-One: The Real War
Li Yu finally met Ming, after asking a lot of Wei people, he finally met Ming on the road to Zhao, Zhao's soldiers pretended to be doormen, and were protecting around, and the two met, they were also very happy, talked for a long time, and then continued to hurry, Li Yu said with some resentment: "I originally thought that Xinlingjun was a moral gentleman, but I didn't expect that he was not even as good as Pingyuanjun." ”
Immediately, he told Ming the farce that Wei Wuji instructed his subordinates to make because he didn't want to borrow grain, Ming smiled and said: "There are so many people in the world, it is impossible for everyone to be a gentleman, there are gentlemen, of course, there will be villains, fortunately, I still bought food, I didn't have hope, I didn't expect it, I actually bought 200,000 stone millet, 50,000 stone wheat." ”
Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and he asked, "How much did you say?" ”
"200,000 stone millet, 50,000 stone wheat, this is still sold to me by one person, Wei people, it's really rich."
"What is the name of the man who sold you grain?"
"I don't know, he won't say, he must be a steward, he secretly sold the grain of the head of the family, although I hate such people, but Zhao Guo needs food, I can't help but take it."
"Is he a dark-faced, honest-looking young man?"
"Oh? Do you know him? At this time, Ming was also a little surprised.
"Alas! Broken! Li Yu frowned, hurriedly reined in the horse, turned around and was about to leave, Ming hurriedly asked, "Where are you going??" ”
"Please keep going, I'm going to apologize!!" , Li Yu shouted, and rode away.

Zhao Guo, Shancheng.
Because of Zhao Kuo's previous orders, the people of Shancheng have already fled here, and they have taken everything they can take away, especially after getting Zhao Kuo's order not to leave anything for the Yan people, they can't wait to even have the well taken away, and the dangerous location of Shancheng has now become an empty city, Zhao Kuo led many knights, and when he passed by here, he also saw this dead city.
Chestnut did not attack here, it seems that the chaos caused by his attack on the Yan army is not over, or rather, he is preparing to join Qing Qin and then march to Juancheng, Zhao Kuo did not stop here, he wants to return to Bairen quickly. The knights followed Zhao Kuo, quickly departed from Yancheng, and galloped in the direction of Bairen, the road was not close, and their horses were extremely tired and slow.
And here in the chestnut belly, the situation is also particularly bad, the flame was finally extinguished, but the grain and grass prepared by the Yan State for the army were burned eighty percent, these grains and grass, only enough for the chestnut belly army for ten days, the grain and grass is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is the military heart, after a bombing camp, the Yan army suffered heavy losses, most of them were cannibalistic in the night, and there were countless deserters.
The generals need to reorganize their armies.
The rear army almost collapsed, the Zhao people brought them great fear, they were like frightened rabbits, worried all day long, even, on the night of the second day, they listened to the sound of their cavalry's horses' hooves, and thought that it was the Zhao people attack, almost triggered another bombing of the camp, the rear army lost its combat effectiveness, the front army and the Chinese army remained fairly intact, but there was no food, and they could not hold out for too long.
Li Belly could only give an order to Qing Qin, asking Qing Qin not to attack Yuanshi City again, and to join him quickly, he still had some food there, so as not to let the army run out of food, and at the same time, he sent someone to send a letter to Yan Guo, hoping to get grain and grass assistance. But Li Bei didn't expect that his nightmare was the beginning, the news that Yan Guo was attacked and defeated by Zhao Guo spread, and those deserters were the best proof, they said Zhao Kuo's horror, and they trembled with fear.
The people of all parts of Zhao went crazy again.
Ma Fuzi did not disappoint them, they could not let Ma Fuzi down, the resistance in various places became more and more serious, in Yuanshi City, there were people who lit Qing Qin's grain and grass, at that time, Qing Qin's soldiers requisitioned the local people to push carts for them, fortunately, it did not cause a fire, was extinguished, after a full three days, Qing Qin was late, he frowned, and looked unhappy to see the chestnut belly.
As soon as he saw Chestnut, he was reprimanded.
It is said that the two quarreled, and the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom found that they could use less and less food every day, which made them even more dissatisfied, and they also knew that their grain and grass were burned by the Zhao people, so this complaint turned into dissatisfaction with the chestnut belly, if it wasn't for his incompetence, how could this situation be caused? The soldier's war-weariness was also increasing, and the chestnut belly was a little helpless, so he could only order the army to march out and capture Juancheng as soon as possible.
Just when Chestnut came to Shancheng, he found out that this was a dead city, there were not even living animals in the lifeless city, the Zhao people had nothing left, even the wells were blocked by them, and the houses were demolished, Chestnut Belly gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, his time became more and more tense, even if he added the food brought by Qing Qin, it was not enough, he did not stay in Shancheng, and the army rushed directly in the direction of Bairen.
At this time, Zhao Kuo and a group of knights finally arrived at Bairen.
Compared to Juancheng, Bairen can't even be regarded as a city, he is just a small township, the city wall is exceptionally short, and you don't even need a ladder to climb up, however, it seems that someone is strengthening the city, and you can vaguely see someone piling up stones on the city wall, Zhao Kuo just came to the gate of the city, Bairen is in chaos, they thought it was the Yan people who came, and Ge, who was busy on the city wall, took a look, and shouted: "The person who came is Ma Fuzi!" ”
As a result, there was even more chaos in the city.
Only, this time it's because of excitement. Surrounded by everyone, Ge and a group of people opened the city gate and walked out in the direction of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo got off his horse, the knights dismounted, a local official, led everyone to meet Zhao Kuo, this is still an acquaintance, Zhao Kuo borrowed grain from Pingyuan Jun, there was once a Dong Chengzi to send grain to himself, and the one who led everyone out of the city was this Dong Chengzi.
His white and chubby face was stained with some dust, and when he saw Zhao Kuo in front of him, he was extremely excited, holding Zhao Kuo's hand, and almost cried, Zhao Kuo comforted him a few words, and then looked at Ge, Ge frowned, looking at the bloodstained and scarred Zhao Kuo in front of him, he was a little speechless, Zhao Kuo was a little tired, and he asked: "The army has arrived at Bairen?" ”
"We arrived the day before, Dong Chengzi is here to strengthen the city defense, I stayed to help, the people of Shancheng said that they got your order, and they also came here... What about you? Ge looked at Zhao Kuo, paused, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
Zhao Kuo smiled at him.
"I'm fine."
In the small city of Bairen, there are a lot of people from Zhao State, and all the people who have fled seem to have gathered here, just because they heard that Ma Fuzi is here. Finally, Ma Fuzi came, he led a horse, dressed in military uniform, led some knights, walked in from the city gate, the people gathered around, poked their heads out to see, Ma Fuzi was a little embarrassed at the moment, all tied with cloth, military clothes were broken, and blood stained.
However, this did not affect the fanatical reverence of the people for him, and this blood was shed for them.
In the face of thousands of people, Zhao Kuo just smiled and nodded to them, the people cheered, this sound seemed to overturn the entire Bairen, everyone was very happy, except Zhao Kuo, and his knights, they were very tired, very tired. Dong Chengzi was originally the city guard of Shancheng, and after hearing Ma Fuzi's order, he led people to Bairen and took over the defense here.
He wanted to set up a banquet to entertain Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo refused his kindness.
Now is not the time to celebrate, the previous attack only made the Yan people lose the ability to fight for a long time, and the real war is only about to start now.
