Lieren, in the latest change, Lieren successfully became Lieren County. To be honest, the household registration of the Lie people is not much, that is, it is slightly more and Mafu and other places, and Handan, Zhongmu, Ye and other county towns are not comparable at all, as for why the Lie people will become the county seat, it is because of his important geographical location, the Lie people will be Zhongmu, Shadune, Handan, Hanoi and other places are linked, is an important gateway to the east of Handan.

It's a pity that the people who have just been upgraded to the county seat, perhaps because of the "unworthy virtue", actually encountered a flood, the flooded river flooded the people, destroyed the cultivated land, and forced the people to move elsewhere.

And this flooded and empty county town is now ushering in a group of uninvited guests. Thousands of soldiers came from the south, these people were in high spirits, raised the banner of Xinlingjun, rushed to this place with a rapid march, and quickly rested here, and the person who led them was Ping, after retreating from Beijing, they kept moving towards Zhao State, probably because of Xinlingjun, these people were able to maintain a high-intensity march and refuse to fall behind.

Now that they're here, they can finally rest.

Ping is loudly telling Zhao Bao's evil deeds, he said: Zhao Bao killed officials from all over the country at will, and the officials were humiliated, and they raised their flags to respond to Xinling Jun, to get rid of the traitors for Zhao State, and he talked about their upcoming victory? According to him? Ma Fujun, Lian Po and other generals all agree with Xinlingjun's changes? Unwilling to fight, the soldiers in Handan have no intention of fighting? Now, as long as they rush to Handan, they can force King Zhao to hand over Zhao Bao and put him to death.

Forthwith? Ping didn't know where to find Chang'anjun's evil deeds? Hurting people? Killing people for no reason? Many despicable crimes were made public by him, which aroused the anger of the soldiers. But? Some generals in the army also had doubts in their hearts, they had been following Xinlingjun for a long time, such an important matter, Xinlingjun could not just contact Ping, and not look for his own people.

What's more, Ping always said that Xinlingjun's army was behind him, but until now, they hadn't even seen a scout. In any case, Shinling-kun also wants to send someone to give orders, or inquire about their situation. Ping explained: This matter is very important, it must be carried out in their own name, and it cannot affect Xinlingjun, so they all send scouts to contact Xinlingjun, and Xinlingjun cannot send someone to contact.

The crowd was suspicious, and after resting here for a few days, they met a large number of officials, and the officials brought the villagers who were willing to follow them, as well as the victims who were engulfed by them, and when they arrived here, the leaders began to complain, saying that Zhao Bao had killed their friends, and wanted to take advantage of Wei Wuji's absence to wipe them out, and the suspicious generals also dispelled their suspicions.

There are not too many officials who raise the flag, and they are not fully prepared, many people are unarmed, and many people are confused, mistakenly thinking that these are the arrangements of Xinling Jun, but the people who really have ulterior motives are less than thirty people, but these thirty people have driven the rest of the people, and because of their previous performance, they have attracted a group of people who do not know the truth, plus the people who are coerced, so that there are many people.

After the two sides met, the people brought by these officials were naturally very happy, they left their homeland and obeyed the arrangements of the officials, because of what the officials promised, Xinlingjun would give them a better life, and now seeing the vanguard army of Xinlingjun, even approaching Handan, they are naturally extremely happy, and the soldiers are probably the same, the arrival of these people makes them more at ease.

Ping saw the leader of the officials, follow.

The two walked into a private house, the warriors were stationed in the courtyard, they held each other's hands excitedly, sat down with a smile, and said seriously: "I led the team to come this time, bypassing those important cities, and coming on a rapid march, they would not have thought that I had come to the Lieren, many county towns around here are empty, because no one lives in the flood, this is our best opportunity... Heaven is bless us, too. ”

Xun nodded, this is indeed an unexpected joy, I thought they would not be able to come to the vicinity of Handan, who knows, a flood, gave them the opportunity to cover their tracks and quietly approach Handan, Xun shook his head and said: "When I came, it was a big fanfare, they will definitely know, so we can't continue to rest, we must attack the city immediately, Handan will definitely not be able to fight, but as long as a conflict breaks out, Xinlingjun's army and those who support him attack Handan, then our task will be completed." ”

"But..."Ping wanted to say something, but sighed again, he hesitated for a moment before he said, "Xinling-kun is really good to me, I feel that I can't stand him." Looking at him with some surprise, Ping continued: "Please give these people to me, and leave with the rest yourself, and I will lead them to attack the city." Xun has already understood that Ping is unwilling to continue to live.

Xun said: "No, I still have my own mission, we have to take advantage of the enemy's lack of reaction, quickly gather under Handan, and use those disaster victims to attack Handan, those disaster victims stand in front of us, and the soldiers in Handan will not dare to shoot us..."

"How is this possible? If they threaten Handan, they will definitely shoot it. ”

"Yes, that's it, that's my last mission."

"But... Why? ”

"I don't know, please don't ask... Hmm...", Xun hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his opinion, he said: "Maybe it's to anger Ma Fujun and let Ma Fujun leave Zhao Kingdom." ”

Ping didn't say anything more, they continued to rest and recuperate, Ping was not stingy, he divided all the food, used to reward everyone, that is, those who were plagued, they all got a rich meal, everyone ate very happily, Ping too, he drank some wine, and happily told everyone the news that they were about to win, just as dusk, everyone set out for Handan.

The march was not fast, for among them there were people and many officials.

Ping couldn't bear to look at these soldiers, people, and victims.

If I weren't a Qin person... Maybe I'll be Shinling-kun's best friend.

............

When Zhao Kuo walked out of the palace, his doorman was arguing with the palace warriors, Ge stood alone at the front, scolding at the warriors, his beard trembled, no one could catch his words, the warriors were scolded and lowered their heads, allowing Ge to spit at him, after Zhao Kuo came out, Ge stopped, Zhao Kuo hurriedly got into the chariot, and asked Ge to take himself to Zhao Bao's mansion.

Ge waved his long whip, and the chariot hurried towards the Pingyang Junfu.

When the chariot arrived, Zhao Kuo jumped directly from the chariot, he walked quickly to the door, there were retainers cleaning around, Zhao Kuo rushed in directly, the doormen rushed up, the retainers screamed in fear, suddenly, the chickens and dogs jumped in Pingyang Jun's mansion, and Zhao Bao, who was interrupted again from reading, walked out of the mansion angrily, but happened to meet Zhao Kuo who walked quickly, Zhao Kuo grabbed his arm and pulled him directly into the inner room.

"Pingyang-kun... Is this civil unrest related to you? ”

Zhao Bao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly shook his head, and said, "Wei Wuji rebelled, what does this have to do with me?" ”

"Listen to me, this is the strategy of the Qin people, because Xinlingjun resisted the attack of the Qin people on the front line, so the Qin people want to force Xinlingjun to leave Zhao, the generals who came back, including the officials who made trouble in the local area, all came to participate in the assessment at the same time, and they couldn't find their families, they are all spies of the Qin State, they are framing Xinlingjun, because I have a close relationship with Xinlingjun, so Shangjun is not willing to believe me, please testify for Xinlingjun and find out who is behind the scenes with me."

Zhao Bao suddenly became a little nervous, his words stammered, and he muttered: "Curtain... The people behind the scenes.."

Zhao Kuo saw something, he said: "What I want to do is just not to see the situation of killing each other in the country, and I don't want my friend Xinlingjun to be framed for no reason, leave infamy, and be expelled from Zhao, you have always said that Zhao is the Zhao State of the Zhao family, if Xinlingjun, who is resisting Bai Qi on the front line, suffers such slander, which makes the coalition army defeated, and when the army of Qin enters Zhao, what will you do?" ”

Zhao Bao raised his head, his lips trembled slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and said, "I'll go with you." ”

"If you can help me find out the real traitor, it won't be difficult...", Zhao Kuo said, Zhao Bao's energy in Zhao State is still very large, although he vaguely suspects in his heart that this matter may be related to Zhao Bao, however, he is likely to be just used by the Qin people to find out the real culprit, which is also a good thing for Zhao Bao. After Zhao Bao agreed, Zhao Kuo set the target at the lieutenant.

Because those who participated in the examination and went to various places to serve as officials were appointed by lieutenants.

The former lieutenant was Xu Li, later Zhao Bao, and then Lou Zhuan.

The two walked out of the mansion and were about to rush to the mansion, but as soon as they walked out of the mansion, Zhao Kuo was taken aback, I don't know when, outside the mansion, a large number of people gathered, but these people were all Zhao Kuo's disciples, they were led by Han Fei, standing neatly outside the mansion, Zhao Kuo looked at them in surprise, and then looked at Han Fei at the front, and his face was suddenly a little annoyed.

"Didn't I tell you to wait in the stables?"

"Teacher, you taught us to have a benevolent heart, to have the faith to die for the right path that we believe in our hearts, and you have taught us the principle of the unity of words and deeds, if we can't follow you to quell the civil strife now, then what should we continue to learn? Even if we all survive, what's the use? It was not Han Fei who spoke, but Yang Duanhe, a Qin man.

"Please take us, teacher."

The disciples looked at Zhao Kuo seriously, and under the leadership of Han Fei, they bowed down towards Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo looked at them, thinking a lot, but he just sighed, and said, "Follow me to the Lieutenant's Mansion." As a result, Zhao Kuo's chariot was even more powerful, and there were many "foot soldiers" around, who followed behind the chariot and quickly rushed towards the lieutenant's mansion.

Zhao Bao was also pulled to the chariot by Zhao Kuo at this moment, but he didn't say a word, lowered his head, but didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

The road was empty, perhaps the news of the rebellion, so scared that the people did not dare to go out, Handan once again became as dead and silent as before, Zhao Kuo sat in the carriage, looked at the empty street, and sighed: "Many calamities and troubles...", Zhao Bao glanced at him, did not answer, Zhao Kuo continued: "Our time is running out, Shangjun will soon send people to conquer the rebel army, I am very worried, those innocent people will die because of this incident." ”

"Let's see if the lieutenant can find anything here, if not... Then I'm going to put down the civil strife immediately... What I hate most of my life is these thieves who incite innocent people to die in vain... I also have my own pursuits, but I will not let innocent people die for me under lies in order to realize my pursuits and ideals... It's not right, it's not supposed to be. ”

Zhao Bao's face became a little ugly, because, he did the same thing at the beginning, he had no choice but to speak: "Sometimes, for the benefit of the family and the country, you can only sacrifice some people. ”

"The interests of the country? You are right to say that you can sacrifice yourself for the sake of your country, but this should not be done under a lie, you say? If a soldier is willing to die for the sake of his country, I will respect him very much, and if a general gives up some soldiers for the sake of victory in the war, I will not blame him, but if a minister weaves a lie to deceive those who do not know the truth to die, even if their death is beneficial to other things, I will not forgive this person. ”

"What's more, what is happening today is not beneficial in the first place, it's just that innocent people die for no reason."

"If you really know anything about this, please tell me... How can you bear to watch those who are being deceived and used outside your people, your relatives, those who are stationed on the walls, and even more so your sons? Zhao Kuo asked.

Zhao Bao's expression was a little stunned, and he said, "This matter... Actually..."

Suddenly, a scout came speeding from a distance, and the scout shouted, "There are thieves attacking the city!" There are thieves attacking the city!! The scout shouted, passing by them, looking at the scout's path, to report to the palace. Zhao Kuo watched the knight go away, the whole person was silent, he shook his head, looked at Zhao Bao on the side, his eyes were full of worry, Zhao Kuo said: "It's too late.. It's too late. ”

Hearing that the thieves were attacking the city, Zhao Bao panicked, his face was full of horror, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly said: "Please lead the army out of the city... How many thieves are there? Dare to attack Handan... No, we have to summon Handan Qingzhuang to help defend the city. ”

Zhao Kuo ignored him, just looked in the direction of the city wall, and could vaguely hear the screams on the city wall.

His face was solemn, and he lowered his head and looked at Ge.

"Out of town."

ps: I saw a lot of people saying that they wanted to keep watching.... Aren't you afraid of death?
