"I heard that the monarch has been insulted, his ministers have no face to survive, and the Zhao people have insulted our lord many times, and we have to risk our lives to fight."

"Before I set off, I have a few things I want to tell my second and third sons. The first thing, this crusade against Zhao is just to take revenge on the nobles of Zhao State, no one can kill the people of Zhao State for no reason, they must not rob the merchants of Zhao State, they cannot rape the women of Zhao State, they cannot damage the arable land of Zhao State, there are soldiers of Zhao State who surrendered, please accept it, do not abuse. ”

"The second thing is that we must end the war quickly, so I will march quickly, drive straight into Handan, and break through Handan, therefore, in the process of rapid marching, please don't complain, don't disturb the morale of the army."

"Violators will be killed."

Chestnut said seriously to his generals, sitting on both sides of chestnut belly are some young people, they are not afraid of fighting, but very eager to fight, at the moment the excitement is a little unable to sit still, after hearing chestnut belly's order, they also hurriedly promised, chestnut belly then let them each return to their own team, ready to go. The vanguard had already been drawn out, and the chestnut belly stood on top of the chariot, which was originally the chariot that the monarch store, and its shape was basically the same as that of ordinary chariots.

However, in today's era, the monarch no longer personally commands the war in a chariot, so the chariot has become the exclusive domain of the generals.

The chariot is drawn by four or two horses, the chariot carries three soldiers, the armor on the left holds a bow, the main shot, is the head of a car, called the left one, called the left one, also known as the head of the car, called the left one, also known as the head of the car. The armor on the right is the main stab, and is also responsible for removing obstacles for the chariot, which is called the right side of the chariot, also known as "participation". Sitting in the middle is the Rider, also known as the Guardian, who wears only a short sword with him.

Of course, in addition to these three armor soldiers, on both sides of the chariot, there were five foot soldiers, these five foot soldiers gathered around the chariot, and there was a carriage behind the chariot, which was responsible for changing the chariot's accessories, carrying food, shields, bows and arrows and other materials, as well as the cymbals responsible for communications, and five apprentices were in charge of the logistics chariot, and all these scales added up to one chariot, so a country with two thousand chariots cannot be underestimated.

Chestnut was armed with a bow and arrow, apparently to take the position on the left side of the car. Chestnut belly looked into the distance, his face was vaguely worried, he had never commanded the war, if Lejian could command this army, it would not be a problem to defeat the Zhao State, but let himself come, alas, he could only act cautiously, the Yan State had no advantages in all aspects, such as today, how could the princes allow the Yan State to be on the safe side, the Yan State must not sit still, and must continue to get enough nutrients from the war to grow into a towering tree.

If General Le Yi is still here.... Chestnut raised his head, sighed, and then hurriedly covered the loneliness on his face, he looked firmly into the distance, pulled out his short sword, pointed in the direction of Zhao Guo, and ordered: "Go!" ”

......

The news of Yan's declaration of war, under the impetus of well-intentioned people, soon spread throughout Zhao State, and the people of Zhao Kingdom were desperate.

They hadn't seen their children or their loved ones for years, and now, without them by their side, the enemy had invaded again. They were very afraid, the child cried out his father's name, the enemy was coming, and the father, who had been standing in front of them to protect them, was not there.

The Yan people claimed to attack Daijun, but they launched an attack in the direction of Zhongshan, and in the face of the county seat of Zhao State, which was not garrisoned by soldiers, the chestnut belly fully showed the talent of a famous general, and in the face of a group of women and children composed of resistance, the Yan people also fully demonstrated their bravery.

Li led 40,000 people to capture Wusui City, and successfully eliminated more than 100 elites of Zhao led by a famous general of Zhao State, an unknown county commander, this elite of Zhao State is composed of a group of soldiers who have participated in many wars and have as long as forty or fifty years of military experience, even if they are experienced in a hundred battles, it is difficult to resist the brave Yan people, in front of the brave Yan people, they are so frightened that they can't even ride horses, and they can't hold swords, they can only wipe endless tears and die under the bow and arrow of the powerful Yan people.

Another famous general, Qing Qin's bravery is more prosperous than Bai Qi, he led 20,000 people, pulled out Longdui City, and successfully killed more than 1,000 local elites of Zhao who disguised themselves as ordinary people, these people hid among the people, and the camouflage was very in place, there were women and children, and there were old people, but they couldn't deceive the wise Qing Qin, Qing Qin saw through their disguise at a glance, killed them all, and talked about his great exploits in annihilating the defenders of Zhao State.

He said that Zhao Guoshi was timid and cowardly, and when facing the warriors of Yan State, all those pretenders cried and begged for mercy, and none of them dared to resist.

After pulling out the two portals of Zhao, the army drove straight in, and captured Zhongren, Quyang, Yetai and other cities in a short time, and then killed them in the direction of Handan non-stop.

Zhao had no army in Zhongshan, and even, no youth. Only the local nobles led their own doormen to fight to the death with the Yan people, but the dozens of doormen who got together were not the opponents of the Yan warriors.

The Zhao State encountered an unprecedented crisis, the people were extremely frightened, and fled one after another, the invasion of the Yan State became the last straw that overwhelmed them, even Changping, there were many rumors about this matter, some said that the Yan people had taken Handan, some said that the Zhao State had perished, and General Lian Po soon ordered that these were all lies of the Qin people, which could not be believed, and found out a few Qin spies who spread rumors, and executed them in public.

.......

It was early in the morning, when Zhao Kuo finished eating and was practicing his sword in the courtyard, he heard intermittent crying. Zhao Kuo frowned, followed the cry, and walked out of the door, it turned out that it was Zhao Kuo's neighbor Pinggong's wife Yiyuan, the old lady stroked Pinggong's face at the moment, crying sadly, Pinggong was still comforting the old wife, Zhao Kuo's heart sank, could it be their child... He walked over to them with some embarrassment.

"Pinggong? What happened? ”

Ping Gong raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, he laughed, and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry, there is an order today." ”

"Levy? But at home... Who else can levy? ”

"Me."

"You??" , Zhao Kuo's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "How can this work? Is this for you to transport grain and grass? You're that old. Pinggong smiled and shook his head, Zhao Kuo noticed that he was wearing a short sword and holding a shield in his left hand, he raised his head and said, "Ma Fuzi thinks I'm old, so he looks down on me?" Zhao Kuo was speechless, and Yiyuan on the side cried: "Handan has come to the official, and he wants to recruit him as a foot soldier, he is at this age, how can he be a foot soldier?" ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense, how can I not be?" , Pinggong said, and said with some displeasure: "You go back quickly, wait for me to come back, I won't be away for too long, I still have something to say to Ma Fuzi!" Pinggong took out the tone of command, Yiyuan wiped her tears, and touched Pinggong's face, then she leaned over and returned to the courtyard step by step, Pinggong's face was full of smiles, and said: "Women's people, I just don't know the general situation." ”

Zhao Kuo was still speechless, he asked, "What happened?" ”

"I don't know, Shangjun has recruited a group of soldiers in all parts of Handan, and I am also included. There are four people in Mafu, you also know, that is, resignation, trouble, Zhao Shi...", Pinggong said, these people he said are almost the same age as him, the youngest is Zhao Shi, five out of forty this year, the oldest Pinggong, who is close to the sixtieth year. Zhao Kuo still didn't understand, why did King Zhao recruit them? Do even these old men have to go to Changping?

Can they wield a sword, and can they ride a horse? Isn't this meant to send them to death?

Ping Gong smiled and walked towards the gate of Mafu Township, Zhao Kuo followed him, without saying a word, and finally walked to the door, Ping Gong looked in the direction of home, he still smiled, but the tears could not be stopped, he gritted his teeth, not let himself cry, Dou Da's tears continued to cross Lian Pang, he looked at Zhao Kuo, and said seriously: "I am old, I don't have many years to live, I am not afraid of death, but she can't see things, can't take care of herself... Please take care of her a little bit..."

"I bless you... I wish you peace, I wish you no disaster...", Ping Gong picked up the mulberry stick and gently hit Zhao Kuo's body.

"I... I'm leaving...", Pinggong said, couldn't hold back any longer, covered his head, and cried.

"!! Go"

"Get me a car!!"
