Chapter Sixty-Four: The Witchcraft Messenger and the Crazy Zhao People

The wind crashed against the mountains and forests, making a whistling sound.

In such a cold climate, even if there is no snow, it is unbearable, Handan made those noble sons are okay, they have prepared winter clothes, and these people led by Zhao Fu are a little suffering, they did not prepare these at all when they set off, riding fast horses, galloping in the wind, making the oncoming wind even more violent, freezing and shivering.

Along the way, Zhao Kuo has seen what the real ten rooms and nine emptiness, no, ten rooms and ten emptiness, on the road from Handan to Bairen, there was originally no people, because of the war, the people fled in all directions, making this road even more bleak, Zhao Kuo had the heart to help the knights borrow some clothes, but they couldn't find anyone, thinking that he was worried about being found by others, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sometimes, cold winds can kill.

On the third day of the march, a knight under the command of Zhao Fu died in the wind and cold, experienced several days of baptism of wind, in the night, he suddenly started a fever, the whole body was hot, Zhao Kuo was in a hurry, and he prepared hot water for him to drink, and used a hot cloth to wipe his body... The knight was in a coma all night, muttering the name of his newborn child, and the next day, he died in Zhao Kuo's arms.

Zhao Kuo couldn't save him, even if he did everything he could.

Surprisingly, there was no imaginary crying goodbye, the knights sat around, snuggled up to each other, just stared blankly, they were very calm, just watching Zhao Kuo hug the dead and cry bitterly, as early as when they left home, they were all ready to meet such a day, no matter who it was. Handan Zao looked a little envious, and he said to the people around him: "This person is lucky, if one day, when I die, Ma Fuzi can also shed tears for me like this and send me away, how good it would be." ”

Then two more people died of cold and disease, and before the battle began, there were already warriors who fell, so Zhao Kuo took the knights to hunt in the forest, and in this cold season, even if it was a beast, it could not be easily seen, and some bloody furs were made, and the knights wrapped the fur around their bodies or stuffed it into their clothes. braved the wind to come to Bairen, but Zhao Kuo didn't dare to go in and ask the people here for clothes.

He wasn't sure if there would be spies from the Qin State or the Yan State here, and if his true whereabouts were known to the enemy, then his plan would be completely frustrated. After bypassing Bairen, the sides of the road were finally not empty, and some corpses of Zhao people could already be seen, they were wearing thin clothes, and they fell on the side of the road, even young people like Zhao Kuo could not resist the cold, let alone these old and weak women and children who had fled.

Zhao Kuo saw a red. The naked mother, the mother held the baby in her arms tightly, all the clothes were wrapped around the child's body, and the mother's body was frozen like that, and the baby in her arms was not spared, the little guy opened his mouth wide, kept crying, and the tears on his face were also frozen, Zhao Kuo trembled all over, raised his head, took a few deep breaths, and his teeth kept colliding together.

Zhao Kuo took off his coat, gently draped it over the mother's body, and kissed her on the forehead, and then buried her and her child. After thirteen days of travel, Zhao Kuo's group became more and more cautious, and at this moment, they had rushed to the vicinity of Shancheng, Zhao Fu led people to investigate, and brought back two news, the good news is that the Yan people have not captured Shancheng, and the bad news is that they have captured Song Zicheng and Yuanshi City,

Zhao Fu caught a deserter from the Yan people, and learned from his mouth that the chestnut belly was stationed in Song Zicheng, and he didn't know the news of Qing Qin, it seems that Qing Qin was stationed in Yuanshi City. Zhao Kuo led the knights and shuttled through the mountains and forests again, and at this time, they had already been able to find the scouts of the Yan people, fortunately, the Yan people were not familiar with the terrain here, with Zhao Fu and others leading the way, Zhao Kuo could always avoid these scouts in time, and there were not many cavalry of the Yan people.

It's just that for the Yan people's investigation, but there has been no result, the chestnut belly has always been in the city, there are soldiers guarding the city, Zhao Kuo has no way to enter the city to investigate, in such weather, it is not possible to light a bonfire, therefore, Zhao Kuo can only take everyone back and forth every day, light a fire in the distance to rest, and then return to the city to investigate, Song Zicheng is a big city in the north of Zhao State, every time it is time to eat, see the smoke billowing up, it is enough to see that the number of soldiers in the city is not a lot.

Zhao Kuo waited outside Songzi City for six days, but Chestnut Belly didn't send troops at all, didn't Chestnut Belly have been marching in a hurry all the time? Zhao Kuo didn't understand that his knights were still suffering casualties, and if he waited any longer, he didn't have to make a move, and he would lose to this climate! Zhao Kuo finally made up his mind and went around to catch the deserters of the Yan people, wanting to get some more information.

Finally, two days later, Zhao Kuo caught two deserters from Yan Kingdom, after they saw Zhao Kuo, they seemed to be particularly surprised, unbelievable, Zhao Fu hit them hard, they just cried and begged for mercy, Zhao Fu asked again, Zhao Kuo didn't understand Yan Yan, so he could only let Zhao Fu act as a translator, Zhao Fu said: "Qing Qin doesn't seem to have been able to capture Yuanshi City, chestnut belly is waiting for him." ”

Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes, if the two armies were united, the difficulties he would face would be even greater, and he could only hope that his envoy could play a role.

Compared to Zhao Kuo, the envoy Tu can be said to be late, if it weren't for Zhao Kuo's doormen staring at him, I'm afraid he would have fled, when the Yan scouts surrounded them, the envoy Tu was cold, he was born in a businessman, the original family still had some property, through the method of bribery, exempted from military service many times, and now, because of the impact of the war, the businessmen have gone bankrupt, he is also among them, this time the military service, he was not exempted.

Yan Ren smirked and pounced on him, the doorman drew his short sword, and he shouted, "I am the messenger of Zhao State!" I am the messenger of Mafuzi! ”

Yan people were stunned, whispered, a Yan people stepped forward is a punch, the doorman and they fought, soon, the doorman had a few more scars on his body, the Yanmen tied him up, the doorman scolded, Tu was still shouting his identity, did not dare to resist, the Yanren fought for a while, only then pulled the rope, and led them towards the city, just walked to the city gate, but an officer of the Yan country heard Tu's cry.

hurriedly walked out and said angrily: "Let go of these two people!" ”

The soldiers looked at him a little blankly, and the officer almost jumped up angrily, and shouted to the surroundings: "Do you know this nonsense!" Do you have!! No one stepped forward, the officer stepped forward directly, forcefully pushed away the soldiers, took the rope from their hands, there was a Hu man captain wanted to say something, the officer kicked him over directly, the captain fell to the ground, and the rest of the soldiers looked at the officer angrily, but they didn't dare to move.

The officer ignored them and untied Tu from the doorman, and then said with a smile and in a Handan accent: "Distinguished guests from Zhao State, please forgive them for their rude behavior, and I will take you to see General Libei." Tu only eased up a little, still afraid, the officer pulled him into the city, the weather was cold, the Yan soldiers raised the long whip in their hands, and the numb Zhao Guo was old and weak, demolishing his house, or carrying baggage on the road, his face was bloodless, and he was about to rot wood.

A woman from Zhao State, just because she fell while carrying wood, was whipped by a Yan State soldier, Zhao Kuo's doorman widened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, he rushed out towards the soldier, and was immediately surrounded by Yan people, the doorman pointed to the soldier in the distance, and yelled: "You wait!" When Ma Fuzi enters the Yan Kingdom!! I'm going to do the same to your mother!! Whip your wife!! ”

"This day is not far off!!"

"It's not far off!!"

The Yan people didn't understand his roar, they just pointed at him and sneered. The Yan State soldier who was holding a whip was even more so, seeing the angry appearance of the doorman, he laughed and raised the long whip in his hand again, but the Zhao people, who were busy, suddenly stopped, and everyone raised their heads, and a fire suddenly appeared in their eyes. "Mafuko?"

"Mafuzi is coming?"

"It's Ma Fuzi's man?"

The man who had long since died came to life, his eyes were burning with flames, and the soldier of Yan Guo, who was holding a whip, looked at the doorman who was pressed to the ground, struggling frantically, he squeezed his eyes at the doorman, and signaled the whip in his hand, he just raised the whip, "Bang!! At that moment, the soldiers of Yan Guo fell, and the women of Zhao Guo trembled, and the wood in their hands was still stained with blood.

At that moment, she pounced, knocked her hands into the eyes of the soldier, the soldier let out a violent scream, at that moment, the Zhao people were crazy, they yelled at the name of Ma Fuzi, raised the stone, wood, and even empty hands in their hands, and pounced towards the Yan people beside him, Tu was so frightened that he almost fainted, he saw with his own eyes an old man bite off the face of a Yan soldier, and then, he was killed, but he still stared at his eyes, biting the soldier's face.

"Avenger of my revenge Ma Fuzi !!"

The Yan people shouted, raised their weapons, and began to fight with these empty-handed old and weak Zhao people, Yan people faced such crazy Zhao people, their eyes were full of fear, these Zhao people, who were usually gentle and obedient, why did they suddenly go crazy? It must be that guy's witchcraft, he knows witchcraft!! The Yan people didn't dare to face the doorman who was knocked down.

The doorman was pressed to the ground, struggling frantically, his eyes wide, he looked at the battlefield in the distance, and he laughed loudly.

Laughing and laughing, tears fell.

He began to cry.
