Chapter 124: Although there is a famous horse
Lou Yan was very panicked.
He didn't see a famous general who could defeat Bai Qi here, he just saw a noble boy who didn't learn and didn't know how to talk on paper, and in the days after Lou Zhu's arrival, this noble prince had to summon Lian Po, Wei Wuji and others every day, and gave them some impossible tasks, such as hiding the ox to cross the river, and when the enemy was ready to attack, he would light the flame on the ox's tail and launch the fire ox array.
Even the rumored young generals of Zhao State, such as Li Mu, Tian Yue and others, were very dissatisfied with Zhao Kuo, and Lou Chuan had heard Li Mu gritting his teeth and complaining: Zhao Kuo asked him to lead the cavalry to cut off the grain route from Baiqi.
Lou Xuan was not stupid, in the face of the picture diametrically opposed to the rumors, he wanted to find some secret guards arranged by the Qin State to inquire, but he didn't expect that in several wars, the spies placed in the Zhao army in the Qin State were almost dead, and those few who survived were all in charge of logistics, and the news they found was very exaggerated, Zhao Kuo rushed to the camp on a single car, and almost stabbed Bai Qi to death with a spear.
Such exaggerated rumors only made Lou Xuan even more unbelievable.
He doesn't know Zhao Kuo, but he knows Bai Qi very well, Bai Qi has never been a person who takes risks with his life, he can't lose control of the army at any time, therefore, he won't charge, what two people fight, Zhao Kuo stabbed Bai Qi and the like, obviously it's all lies, Lou Chu After careful investigation, he found that these rumors came from one of Zhao Kuo's doormen, and the doorman was called Di.
Lou Shu thought of a way, and in the name of wanting to make friends with Zhao Kuo, he invited this Di.
To be honest, when he learned that Lou Xuan had summoned Di, Zhao Kuo was still a little panicked, after all, Di didn't know about his arrangements, so he was afraid that he would show his stuff.
Sitting in the tent, Lou slowly looked at the burly and stout man in front of him, and asked with a smile: "I am in the Qin State, I have heard of the prestige of Ma Fujun, and I have the heart to make friends with him, and I know that you are his most trusted guest, so I want to ask you about him." Di looked at him and laughed, "Then you've found the right person." ”
"At the beginning, my young monarch borrowed grain to transport it to the battlefield, and encountered an ambush by the Qin people in Taihang... The young monarch of my family took the lead and killed more than 40 Qin people in a row, causing the Qin people to flee in despair...."
"In Boren, my young monarch is charging ahead, no one can stop him, he will capture the flag, he alone can be defeated by 100,000 people!"
"In Changping, my young gentleman met Bai Qi and was about to capture him, Bai Qi was scared and hurriedly released the arrows, and I also blocked the arrows for the young monarch...."
Lou Chuan was dumbfounded, watching Di Tao talk endlessly, Di talked like this all night, Lou Chuan only felt that his ears were roaring, he shouldn't be looking for this guy, but no matter what he said, this warrior just didn't want to leave, and continued to talk about Ma Fujun's heroic past, poor Lou Chuan couldn't push him, when Lian Po walked into the camp, Di Yi glanced at Lou Chuan unfinished, and reluctantly left.
Lou slowly shook Lian Po's hand excitedly: Thank you, old general.
Lian Po looked very displeased: Zhao Kuorang didn't know how to use the art of war, so he wanted to temporarily reorganize the army, and withdrew the soldiers stationed in the Danshui defense line, making the defense line completely empty.
Lou said goodbye to Lian Po, after Lian Po left, he had time to think seriously, but Di's words seemed to still echo in his ears, making him dizzy, he had never seen so... Talkative people. Zhao Kuo doesn't say anything else, there are a lot of talents in this door, Lou Shu can judge that what Di said is a lie, he has also seen Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo is indeed tall and strong, but he is a master general, how can he not kill the flag in a hundred thousand people!
It seems that Lian Po and Wei Wuji are not lying, this general is very much in pursuit of fame, so he appointed someone like Di to build momentum for him, in fact, he has no talent, otherwise, even his father, mother, Lin Xiangru and people like Lin Xiangru would criticize him so harshly?
Lou Yan sat in the tent seriously, he was waiting, waiting for news from Danshui.
After waiting like this for two days, Zhao Kuo's preparation has been completed, but Bai Qi did not attack, even when it was such an empty time, Bai Qi did not attack, Lou slowly squinted his eyes, why did Wu Anjun cheat and defeat? Why did you deliberately lose to this Zhao Kuo?
Letting King Zhao use Zhao Kuo is Ying Hou's strategy, and Wu Anjun is at odds with Ying Hou, should he be...
Lou shook his head, it was impossible for Wu Anjun to make such a big sacrifice in order to frame Ying Hou.
Suddenly, he remembered the embarrassed face of King Qin when he talked about Bai Qi's military exploits, and he woke up suddenly, and there was no seal!
Lou Chuan was ready to leave and wanted to rush to Handan, because he found that Zhao Kuo was not worthy of being his opponent at all, and in the face of such an immature nobleman, all Lou Kuo's original plans were useless.
If you want to play chess, you have to find an opponent who can play chess, and you can't form a game against someone who can't even read the board.
Lou Kuo still said goodbye to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo looked at him arrogantly, listened to Lou Kuo's flattery, couldn't help laughing, Lou Chuan was particularly disdainful in his heart, but he still looked respectful of him, Zhao Kuo waved his hand, gave him a reward, and said: "I heard that my doorman Di is like you at first sight, why don't you send him to escort you to Handan." ”
"No, no, thank you Ma Fujun, it doesn't have to be like this." Lou slowly shook his head in horror.
In the end, Di still didn't go with Lou Huan, Lou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, sat in the carriage, and walked towards Handan. He wants to pass through the city, to She, to Wu'an, and then to Handan, now these cities, or will not be easy to open, Lou Yan can only live outside the city, Handan County's roads are far more dilapidated than when he left Zhao State, overgrown with weeds, bumpy.
The Qin people who were traveling with him complained about this road, their eyes full of anger.
Lou sat slowly on the carriage, looking around, there were ruins everywhere, those small cities in the past, at this moment have become dead cities, empty, and outside the city, there are graves, I don't know how many people are buried here, looking at these graves, even those Qin people, I also feel a little uneasy, as if someone is staring at them, gritting their teeth, every time they pass around the grave, they are always scared out of a cold sweat.
Sitting in front of the campfire, Lou slowly became a little silent, he looked at the ruins around him, but his mind kept flashing memories of the past.
The handsome noble son rode in a carriage to hunt and play, the people of the city came to greet him with a smile, and the beautiful girl looked at him shyly.... And the cities that once entertained the noble princes have been reduced to ruins, and those enthusiastic people are afraid that they will have long since passed away, and their descendants will be buried here.
Lou slowly stretched out his hand, pretending to scratch his head, and secretly wiped his eyes.
When the carriage approached Handan, they finally saw the traces of the Zhao people, even the hostile Zhao people, which made them feel a lot more relieved, at least, these Zhao people were still alive. Strangely, the Zhao people did not show hatred for them, and when they learned that they had come to negotiate peace, some even wanted to ask them to stay overnight. The Zhao people here have a kind of fanatical worship of Zhao Kuo, and when they talk about Zhao Kuo, they are particularly excited.
Lou smiled slowly and didn't say much.
Finally, he came to the outside of Handan City, Handan City, but it was no different from when he left, but it was a little deserted, and as soon as the carriage came outside the city, a warrior came up and led them to the palace. Listening to the familiar local sound, Lou Xuan had mixed feelings in his heart, looking at the changes in Handan City, but the people here were not enthusiastic, and the men who had just returned from the battlefield almost drowned out these Qin people with angry eyes.
If it weren't for the surrounding warriors, I was afraid that they would have pounced on them and tore these Qin people apart.
"Bang~~", a stone hit a Qin pawn next to Lou Zhuan, Qin Pawn's forehead suddenly burst blood, and it was an old woman who threw the stone, and the old man cried and shouted: "Return my son!" The warriors hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the old man, and gathered more and more Zhao people, quietly picked up farm tools, and rushed from all directions, Lou Zhuan's face was not the slightest flustered, just looked at these Zhao people coldly. 4E
The elite guarding the palace dispatched, and the elite used their spears to force these people back, and in the face of the people who far exceeded their own number, the elite soldiers showed their own courage, bravely faced, and injured several people who did not want to leave, which showed their own bravery, and the people who fought were defeated and retreated. Surrounded by them, the Qin people walked into the palace without danger.
When Lou slowly walked into the palace, King Zhao personally came to greet him.
King Zhao looked very enthusiastic, took Lou Yan's hand, and said seriously: "The widow has sent people to Qin State to invite you many times, but I haven't been able to see you, today you can come, the widow is very happy." Lou Shu smiled, he knew the character of this King Zhao, and he was not surprised, chatting with him, and finally sat down, Lou Shu looked around, King Zhao only invited a few of his henchmen, Lou Chang was not here.
At the beginning of the banquet, Lou Shu said: "Fan Ju is unwilling to stop the war, I played the king of Qin and asked him to send me to negotiate peace, Qin and Zhao are brothers, and they should not kill each other, I am willing to replace Qin and sign an alliance with Zhao to end the war." King Zhao smiled and said: "Okay, if you can play to King Qin because of the affairs of Zhao State, it means that you still care about Zhao State, and the widow wants you to stay in Zhao State, what do you think?" ”
Lou Shu suddenly felt a little headache.
Is that what I mean? I told you that I wanted to end the war, and you told me that my heart was for Zhao?
He looked at a few Zhao ministers around him, and found that none of them had the idea of opening, so he said helplessly: "Shangjun, we can talk about the matter of going to stay, we can talk about it later, now the hundreds of thousands of troops of Qin and Zhao are facing each other in Danshui, if they can't negotiate peace in time, I am afraid that they will fight again, causing great casualties, Qin and Zhao are damaged, this is something that other countries are willing to see, the two countries stop fighting and get along amicably, this is something that the people of both countries are willing to accept." ”
King Zhao said sincerely: "This matter is not in a hurry, the widow has already heard of your talent, if you can stay in the Zhao country, the widow will entrust you with the important affairs, you have left the Zhao country for a long time, the widow has heard about it, can not sleep in his homeland, this is a matter that the ancestors will not forgive, please stay..."
Lou Zhuan's "moved" whole body trembled.
Yushi Zhao Hui suddenly asked: "I heard that you went to Danshui and met Ma Fujun, didn't Ma Fujun agree to the matter of peace?" Lou slowly glanced at him, squinted his eyes, looked at King Zhao in front of him, and said with some confusion: "I did go to see Ma Fujun before, because I heard that Ma Fujun can decide the war of Zhao State." Hearing his words, King Zhao gradually frowned.
Lou Xuan said again: "However, Ma Fujun is unwilling to negotiate peace, he said that he wants to capture Wu Anjun alive." ”
Hearing Lou Zhuan's words, King Zhao was startled and hurriedly asked, "Did he really say that?" ”
Lou slowly squinted his eyes and nodded, hehe, King Zhao just trusts Zhao Kuo again, and when he hears Zhao Kuo's arrogant words, he will be angry in his heart.
Suddenly, King Zhao laughed loudly, he was a little moved and said to Lou Huan: "This is what he promised the widow, before he set out on the expedition, he promised the widow to capture Bai Qi alive, Ma Fujun is a person who keeps his promises, he is a sage of Zhao State...", King Zhao was moved speechless, but Lou Chuan opened his mouth wide, it turned out that Zhao Kuo was really not fooling himself, he was a fool who really wanted to capture Wu Anjun alive???
At this moment, his suspicion of Zhao Kuo suddenly dissipated, and it was determined that this was a stunned young man with a long six valleys, a fool who didn't know the height of the sky!
Not to mention Lou Zhuan, even Yu Qing was also stunned at the moment, looking at King Zhao and Lou Zhuan in front of him blankly.
King Zhao continued to woo Lou Huan, in the face of such a warm court, Lou Xuan was helpless, he could only say that he would consider, which made King Zhao a little more restrained, and the two officially talked about peace, Lou Huan just spoke, Yu Qing stood up, and he said proudly: "Qin State quits the party, and Zhao State will agree to negotiate peace with Qin State." ”
Then there was a war of words, Lou Chu and Yu Qing argued, and the two of them did not give an inch, arguing red-faced.
"If you say so, I will go back and tell the King of Qin to send more soldiers to Wu Anjun! Continue this war!! ”
"Okay, we will also give Ma Fujun more support, so that Ma Fujun can join forces with Chu State and attack Hangu Pass!"
"The Qin State can still gather 300,000 soldiers! Five million stone grains and grass! There are countless good fighters! ”
"Zhao Guo can still gather 200,000 soldiers! Four million stone grains and grass! There is Ma Fujun alone, and your so-called good fighter is not worth mentioning! ”
Yu Qing was arguing, King Zhao suddenly motioned for him to come forward, Yu Qing walked to King Zhao's side in confusion, King Zhao looked at him in embarrassment, and said, "Zhao Guo can't gather 200,000 soldiers.. The food is also insufficient....", Yu Qing looked at King Zhao in front of him, his lips trembled, and he said loudly: "Shangjun, the minister is a fake, of course he knows how many people Zhao can gather and how much grain and grass he can transport." ”
"Oh~~", King Zhao suddenly realized, nodded and never spoke again.
Lou slowly looked at Yu Qing in front of him with a smile.
King Zhao was still thinking of a way to recruit himself.
His courtiers were munching on mutton, just to show their bravery.
There was only one Yu Qing, who continued to argue with himself angrily, trying his best to obtain benefits for Zhao Guo.
Lou Xuan was a little distressed about Yu Qing in front of him.
If he was in the Qin State, he should be a minister who was very favored by the king.
Although Lou Chuan thought so, but in the matter of peace, there was still no concession, he quarreled with Yu Qing for three days, and there was no way to make Yu Qing change his words, Lou Chuan is a smart person, he did not pester Yu Qing anymore, but met with King Zhao, he told King Zhao that he rushed to Zhao because of King Qin's order, if he could complete his mission, he could stay in Zhao State, but if he could not complete it, he still stayed in Zhao State, and the world would think that he was afraid of crime and absconded.
He was reluctant to bear such a charge, so if things didn't work out, he had to go back.
Sure enough, King Zhao was overjoyed, waved his hand, and agreed to negotiate peace between the two sides.
As a condition for the peace, Lou was temporarily left in the palace.
King Zhao set up a banquet in the palace and warmly entertained Lou Yan.
Yu Qing also sat in this banquet, he kept drinking wine, drunk like mud, and laughed loudly.
