"I want to go back."

Lin Wujun sat on the seat and said with a solemn expression. Xunzi lay on the couch in front of him, expressing his great disdain for this famous general of the Chu State, if it was in the past, Lin Wujun would definitely leave angrily because of Xunzi's attitude, but today, he is surprisingly steady, and he is no longer the boastful appearance on weekdays. Xun Zi half-narrowed his eyes, glanced at him, and asked, "Didn't you flee to Zhao State because you were afraid of being executed by the Chu State?" ”

Lin Wujun nodded, "That's right." ”

"Do you think that the Zhao Kingdom is about to fall, so you want to flee to other countries?"

"Not really." , Lin Wujun shook his head, in the Central Plains countries, there is a saying that the punishment is not a doctor, the civilized state believes that the scholar cannot be humiliated, so he cannot be insulted with a harsh criminal law, of course, there are two barbarian countries, but ignore this convention. The Qin State and the Chu State are very different in all aspects, but only in two aspects do they have something in common.

First, they punish those who break the law, whether they are doctors or not. Second, they are all barbarians.

There is a very bad tradition in the state of Chu, in the state of Chu, there is no room for the general to grow, because the state of Chu has the tradition of overturning the army and killing the generals, initially the king came to execute the defeated generals, and later, they also accepted the influence of the culture of the Central Plains countries, and began to do decent things, and if you lose the battle, you have to be decent, if you are not decent, I can help you be decent. This tradition of the Chu State seems to have lasted for a long time, until the fall of the Chu State, and there were even generals who committed suicide because of defeat.

This tradition is deeply rooted in the marrow of the Chu people, and in the Qin State, there are even wizards who have lost a hundred battles and lost a hundred battles, and only take revenge in the end, but the Chu State does not have it, and in the Chu State, the defeated can only be decent. Although there are three households in Chu, no one will even help you be decent, and you must be decent, this is the fine tradition of the Chu people.

Unfortunately, Lin Wujun, who had always been favored by the King of Chu, lost the battle. In Jingling, Lin Wujun, who claimed to be a famous general in the world, met a humble man from Qin, who led an army far less than him, and defeated him to the annihilation of the whole army, Linwujun was defeated, but he didn't want to be decent, and he didn't want the king of Chu to help him be decent, so he came to Wei, and for many years, he has been living in various countries.

The king of Chu may have forgotten that he still has such a general, and he has not paid attention to him anymore.

Lin Wujun raised his head and looked at Xunzi, he said, "I want to go back to Chu State." ”

"Oh?" , Xunzi was a little surprised.

"Some time ago, I sent Zhao Kuo away." , Lin Wujun was silent for a moment, and then he chuckled, and he said: "A young man of Zhao State who has just been weaned dares to lead an army of 100,000 troops of six thousand old and weak people to conquer Yan Kingdom. shouted Lin Wujun in front of him, but scolded the gutless rats in his heart..."

He stood up, his face was slightly hideous, and he said, "I want to go back and meet the king of Chu." Even if I want to die, I want to die with dignity, like Zhao Kuo, die like a gentleman, I don't want to die on the sickbed, let my children continue to bear the infamy of cowardice! I'm Chu, there are no cowards!! Lin Wujun roared, he seemed to really say what he thought in his heart, and he only felt a lot more comfortable all over his body.

Facing such an excited Lin Wujun, Xunzi was unmoved, and asked calmly: "You are not afraid of death all of a sudden?" ”

"I've never been afraid, but I've always been unwilling to die in my own hands without taking revenge on Bai, and now, I feel that it may be a good thing to die with dignity."

"Well, then you will be killed by the King of Chu after you go back."

Lin Wujun was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "I have already arranged the future." This time, I want to say goodbye to you. ”

Xunzi said: "I was about to leave Zhao Country and go to Jixia, you escort me all the way, now there are many thieves on the road, I don't dare to go alone, you are not long before you die, even if it is the last good thing you did before you died." Lin Wujun smiled bitterly and said, "I obey your orders. After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

After Lin Wujun left, Xunzi closed his eyes, and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

........

Zhao Kuo never thought that the march would be such a troublesome thing, if he had sealed five captains, maybe it wouldn't be like this, but now there are twelve tun chiefs, and the heralds sent by these tun chiefs have not stopped, and all things need to be taken care of by Zhao Kuo, such as which tun has soldiers with diarrhea, some soldiers have been stung and bitten, some spears are broken, some soldiers have fainted, all kinds of trivial matters, plus the surrounding situation, Zhao Kuo has almost no leisure time.

In such a hectic situation, he saw the scarred Zhao Fu again, Zhao Kuo's mind was blank, Pingyuan Jun couldn't have had an accident, right? ? Zhao Fu got off the horse and walked to Zhao Kuo's car, he saw the flag on the car, Zhao Fu was stunned for a long time, just staring at the flag, Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked: "Zhao Jun, where is Pingyuanjun?!" Zhao Fu came to his senses.

He faced Zhao Kuo, bowed down, and said: "Pingyuanjun left Dongwu with an old man surnamed Pang a month ago, and took a lot of guests to various countries to ask for help. Hearing this, Zhao Kuofang breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at him again and asked, "Are you at war with the Yan people?" Zhao Fu sighed, and then said: "When I learned of the Yan invasion, I wanted to lead the disciples to attack, but what..."

Zhao Fu pondered for a long time, but still didn't say anything, he said: "I brought more than 600 people, and attacked the Yan people's troops in Jiumen, and also killed a lot of Yan people, but the Yan people's cavalry also had a lot, and they were caught up by them in Yi'an, I was defeated, and only brought back more than 200 knights, I heard the news that you led the army to attack the Yan people, so I guess that you must have marched from the direction of Bairen and came to join you." ”

Zhao Kuo frowned, looked at Handan Zao in the distance, and asked, "Did you send back the wrong news without seeing the person clearly, and almost fought with Zhao Fu and them?!" Handan Zao lowered his head, just now he really thought that he had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he led people to charge, but he was dragged off the horse by Zhao Fu in a round, if it wasn't for Zhao Fu to stay in his hand, I was afraid that he would have died.

"I have given a military order not to fight under any circumstances! How dare you disobey my military orders? Someone! Take it down and decapitate! Zhao Kuo said angrily, Handan was stunned, raised his head, looked at Zhao Kuo aggrievedly, speechless, Zhao Fu glanced at it, and had already understood the general situation in his heart, and hurriedly persuaded him: "General, although this tun chief is guilty, but the enemy is in front, it is not easy to kill the general, please give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." ”

Everyone also persuaded one after another, Zhao Kuo snorted coldly, and said: "Handanzao, war is not a child's play, any of your actions may harm thousands of us, or even millions of Zhao people, this time I will read your first offense, spare your life, if there is a next time, I will not be forgiven!" ”

"Thank you, General!" , Handan Zao bowed to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo then asked Handan Zao to continue to investigate, called Zhao Fu to his side, and said: "You call those knights, if you are willing to continue to fight the Yan people, please ask them to follow the army, if you are unwilling, please ask them to go back to Handan, I can give them some food." Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Fu was speechless and said, "I'll go and convey your words to them!" ”

Zhao Fu left, and Zhao Kuo did not order the march, but just waited here.

Soon, Zhao Fu led a group of knights to rush here, Zhao Fu just rushed to Zhao Fu's face, he saw an old soldier fearfully dropped the spear in his hand, squatted down, at this moment, everyone stared at the old soldier, his captain, who was also an old soldier, angrily pulled out the short sword, pulled him up, and was about to start, Zhao Kuo hurriedly stopped his behavior. Zhao Kuo looked at the old man deeply, looking at his cowering appearance, thoughtfully.

Zhao Fu led everyone to get off the horse, and the old pawn just now, he treated it as if he didn't see it, Zhao Fu bowed his hand and said, "General!" We are all willing to follow your orders and follow you to kill the Yan people! ”

"We're willing to follow!!" , the many knights shouted.

These people are all strong and young, they look very burly, they are by no means comparable to Zhao Kuo's old and weak, Zhao Kuo is very happy, he finally has a usable army, he has seen a lot of familiar faces among these people, all of them have escorted him, these people are also very excited to see Zhao Kuo at this moment. These people followed the army and continued to set off, but Zhao Fu followed Zhao Kuo's side, and Zhao Kuo asked him about the situation of the Yan people.

"The army of this Yan State is not strong, many of their soldiers are not Yan people, it seems that they are Hu people outside Liaodong, they can't even understand Yan language, and the weapons are very messy, it seems that they are not ready for war, the military discipline is sloppy, and there are even a lot of deserters, the general of Yan State is bent on destroying Zhao State quickly, and he marches in a hurry, and the Yan people are very tired and full of complaints...."

Zhao Fu brought some good news.

Again, he brought some bad news.

"The Yan people killed innocent people as a military merit, and there were no living Zhao people in Wusui City. I have heard from the deserters that the Lord did not allow them to do so, and that he had killed many soldiers who had killed the people, but his orders could not reach the lowest level, and were of no avail. ”
