Zhao Kuo didn't understand why Wei Wuji had gone to great lengths to drink with himself.

When the two of them were half drunk and half awake, Wei Wuji drunkenly told him: If you don't do something, this wine can't be swallowed.

According to Wei Wuji's proposal, Zhao Kuo issued an order, Bai Qi may cross the river at any time to attack, but Zhao Kuo has no other way, at present, the Zhao army is seriously short of food, if it is not for Wei Wuji, there is still a lot of grain and grass, Zhao Guo's army does not know how many soldiers will be starved to death, but Wei Wuji's grain and grass can not be provided to Zhao State, Zhao Kuo can only leave the elite, and the rest of the people go home to farm.

Zhao Guoshi, who learned the news, couldn't believe it.

After being away from home for a few years, they really didn't expect that they still had the opportunity to go back, the word homecoming, they had only read it in their dreams, before Zhao Kuo arrived, the generals did not allow the soldiers to talk about their hometown, they were afraid that this would affect the morale of the army, but Zhao Kuo didn't think so, they are now fighting with the Qin people here, isn't it just for their hometown not to be destroyed? Why don't you mention it?

The soldiers trusted Ma Fujun very much, and they felt that Ma Fujun would definitely take him home.

It's just that they didn't expect that the idea that seemed unattainable would be realized ahead of schedule.

This day, for the soldiers of Zhao State, it is absolutely unforgettable, the soldiers cheered excitedly, elated, even those who stayed, they were also excited to look at their father, look at their brothers, bid them off, tell them, they are also very happy, they don't have to worry about their mothers, wives, and sons being bullied, after all, there are men in the family, everything will slowly get better.

The excitement and excitement of the Zhao people is difficult to contain, on this day, when they even scolded the Qin State on the Danshui side, their voices were much higher than usual, and they couldn't help but confuse the Qin people, Zhao Kuo did not delay the time, the soldiers must go back to farming as soon as possible, this matter can not be delayed any longer, he assigned his own guests to investigate and verify, and to Zhao all parts of the country, in turn.

When the soldiers left, they looked at Ma Fujun who came to see him off, with tears in their eyes, bowed in the direction of Ma Fujun again and again, and left one by one, the more Xinling Jun looked, the more surprised he became, these soldiers of Zhao Guo simply regarded Zhao Kuo as a god, and there was only fanatical worship in their eyes, not only soldiers, but also generals, except for Lian Po, Wei Wuji had no doubt that they would carry out any orders from Zhao Kuo.

Even if he doesn't have a tiger talisman in his hand, that's true.

Wei Wuji felt very incredible, his reputation in Wei was also very high, but without the Tiger Fu, the soldiers would not obey his orders at all, and the soldiers respected him enough, but there was absolutely no such fanaticism, let alone generals, now many generals in Wei were urging themselves, hoping to return to Wei as soon as possible, they were very dissatisfied with themselves and respected by others, Wei Wuji was very set, but he didn't understand why Zhao Kuo could do this!

This melancholy famous general stood on his chariot and bid farewell to every departing soldier.

He will bless them, he will tell them, he will tell them to work hard.

When the soldiers left, they took two steps, and they had to look back at Ma Fujun again, their eyes full of reluctance.

Some of the soldiers would run up and sweep the stones around the chariot with their hands, muttering, "Stone, stone, please don't trip over our beloved Mafujun." ”

Zhao Kuo smiled, the sorrow in his eyebrows seemed to dissipate a lot, when the soldiers left one by one, Zhao Kuo finally laughed, Wei Wuji had never seen him so happy, Wei Wuji stood beside him, looked at the soldiers who disappeared from sight, and asked: "You were never so happy when you defeated Bai Qi, and now you are sending the soldiers away, how can you be so happy?" ”

Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Being able to take these people home is my greatest wish when I set out on the expedition." ”

"Most of my wishes have come true."

Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Kuo beside him seriously, the reason why the soldiers loved him so much, Wei Wuji seemed to understand a little.

The movements of the Zhao army, Bai Qi soon knew, in front of himself, Zhao Kuo disbanded most of his troops, and several generals persuaded Bai Qi to take the opportunity to attack, but Bai Qi did not listen, now is the time when the Zhao people are most excited and have a high fighting spirit, crossing the river at this time is not a good idea, not to mention, the Chu army is attacking Nanyang, and wants to make a direct road to South Korea.

Although Bai Qi didn't want to admit it, he still lost this battle.

The purpose of the Qin State was to capture Shangdang at the beginning, but when the Qin State gathered a large number of troops to the Shangdang and took Bai Qi as the general, the purpose was not Shangdang, he wanted to destroy the Zhao State, but now, the soldiers under the command of Bai Qi had experienced a huge fiasco, and there was no way to regain their strength in a short period of time and launch an attack again, and Bai Qi's troops were not enough to destroy the Zhao State.

The strategic purpose can not be achieved, Bai Qi is a failure, even if the Zhao people paid a very heavy price, the entire Handan County was almost slaughtered, and paid far more heavy casualties than the Qin people, after the two sides fought, the most able to cause the death of the soldiers is not the battlefield, but the wounded soldiers after the battle, the Qin State has a supporting doctor, can treat the wounded soldiers, and the Zhao State, the wounded soldiers, almost no way to live.

Even the slightest abrasion can kill them.

This is the crushing brought about by the system.

But this is the case, no matter how many Zhao people Bai Qi killed, he was not able to destroy the Zhao State, this was his fiasco.

Just one party member can't make Bai Qi satisfied.

However, although Bai Qi did not press on it vigorously, he still tentatively carried out several attacks, and sure enough, as Bai Qi thought, the soldiers left by Zhao Kuo had no worries, and their combat effectiveness was amazing, and they easily repelled the attacks of the Qin people, and even wanted to fight back. Bai Qi could not attack on a large scale, so he could only continue to confront Zhao Kuo and wait for the royal order from Xianyang.

Qin State, Xianyang.

In the courtyard, there was a violent splash sound, and after a long time, Fan Ju walked out of the courtyard wet, covered in red, changed into clothes, and got into the carriage, rushed to the palace, and sat in the carriage, Fan Ju frowned, almost crushing his teeth, Zhao Kuo's vertical son, actually repelled Bai Qi's attack, how is this possible? Could it be that all this is in Zhao Kuo's plan?

He deliberately pretended to be incompetent, just to make himself stupidly boast of a great enemy??

The more Fan Ju thought about it, the more uncontrollable the anger in his heart became.

King Qin was very calm, and the old King Qin sat on his knees, flipping through the letters sent by Bai Qi, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of annoyance. Fan Ju walked in front of him, immediately bowed down, lowered his head and said, "Please punish the king severely." ”

"What are your sins?" , King Qin looked at him with some surprise.

"I shouldn't have let Zhao Kuo replace Lian Po."

"No, none of us can see that Zhao Kuo has such a talent, and the widow also agreed to your suggestion at the beginning, and it is not your fault."

"My reinforcements didn't help."

"No, your arrangement in the Zhao State made the King of Zhao very dissatisfied with Zhao Kuo's violation of the king's order, and your arrangement in the Wei State made the King of Wei believe that Wei Wuji had the intention of rebelling, and recruited soldiers in the name of support, and was ready to deal with Wei Wuji. How can you say that your strategy is not working? ”

Fan Ju slowly raised his head and looked at King Qin, a little unsure of what to say.

King Qin suddenly frowned, threw the bamboo slip in front of Fan Ju, and said angrily: "Your crime is that after Zhao Kuo disrupted your plan several times, you made a hasty decision because of anger!" Your crime is that you have not yet looked down on your enemies! Even if he defeats Bai Qi, you don't look up to him! Your crime is that after the defeat of the war, you did not come up with a suitable plan, but came to the widow to ask for punishment for your sin! ”

Fan Ju gritted his teeth, his hand suddenly stretched out to his waist, and he grasped the hilt of the sword.

He was the only minister who could come to the king of Qin with a sword, the king of Qin looked at his hand, sighed, shook his head and said: "Who would have thought that a mere son of the Zhao State could force the widow's most favored henchman to death...", Fan Ju slowly lowered his hand, raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, making him look extremely hideous, he said: "The king, the minister has a strategy, and he can break the kingdoms for you!" ”

King Qin looked at him and didn't say a word.

Fan Ju looked at King Qin like this, and after a long time, Fan Ju eased up, exhaled, looked at King Qin calmly, and said, "King, the minister has a plan. Only then did King Qin laugh, hurriedly stood up, walked to Fan Ju's side, grabbed his hand, enthusiastically pulled him in front of him, and asked him to sit down, before asking him about countermeasures, Fan Ju was full of confidence, and he no longer had Fang Cai's angry appearance.

He said seriously: "Now the countries, Korea is not to worry, the small country is widowed, the king only needs to send an elite army, he can destroy Korea, however, from the rescue of the Zhao State by the countries, if Qin insists on destroying Korea, it will suffer from the joint conquest of other princes, so please send an envoy to Korea to ask the king of Han to submit to the Qin State and not destroy his society." ”

"When the Qin State is not afraid of the joint efforts of the countries, it will be able to quickly destroy Korea."

King Qin smiled and nodded.

Fan Ju said again: "In the Wei Kingdom, the people who need to be scrupulous the most are Longyang Jun and Xinling Jun. However, now that Xinlingjun has violated King Wei's decision, he doesn't dare to go back, as for Longyangjun, as long as someone keeps sending people to publicize the intimate relationship between him and Wei Wuji, King Wei will definitely hate him. ”

"Zhao is the great enemy of Qin, there are Yu Qing, Zhao Kuo, Lian Po and others, Yu Qing is not favored by King Zhao, Zhao Kuo's credit is too great, his reputation is too high, and Lian Po does not know politics...."

On this day, Fan Ju once again analyzed the current situation in detail for the King of Qin, he believed that the war with Zhao could be ended, Qin won the party, and hit Zhao and Wei hard, especially Zhao, the loss of national strength was very serious, and the only general who could handle Wei was also killed. In fact, the Qin State still took a lot of advantage, and the happiest thing was that Bai Qi's title could be reduced.

It's okay to use titles and food to get by.

Originally, it was two fierce tigers fighting, and those who lost would die, and those who won would also die.

But now, the victorious will not die, and the defeated will not have to die again.

King Qin couldn't help laughing when he heard Fan Ju's words, he was not a mediocre monarch, a general like Bai Qi, he was also very reluctant to let him get rid of him, now that he was okay, he could keep him, but he didn't expect that it was Zhao Kuo who saved his life.

Fan Ju believes that the war should end now, but it can't end like this, it is necessary to negotiate peace with King Zhao, so that King Zhao agrees to return to the Qin State, as for why he did this, Fan Ju hopes to delay Zhao Kuo's soldiers for a while, so that they can't go back to farming immediately.

The conspiracy between the two of them in the palace was not known to anyone else.

And at this time, two people rode horses, but also came to Xianyang, surprisingly, there was no soldier to enter Xianyang, because, to reach Xianyang, you need to go through more than a dozen checks, so here, it will not be so strict to check the people, the exhausted Ying Yiren sat on the horse, his horse was also very tired at the moment, hanging his head, Lu Buwei on the side, it was not much better.

The two of them traveled a long distance and finally arrived in Xianyang, if it weren't for the help of the Qin people along the way, I am afraid that they would not be able to come to Xianyang alive.

Watching the soldiers push the wheelbarrow and pass by, Ying Yiren smiled and said, "Sir, it seems that the wheelbarrow you reported has been made on a large scale. Lü Buwei nodded, they had gone to visit Zhao Kuo's mother in Mafu, at that time, Lü Buwei saw this strange car, there was a blind man who couldn't see things, and he was pushing the cart back and forth in the most uneven place outside Mafu.

Lü Buwei was very curious, so he went to ask, and the blind man told Lü Buwei that this was made by Ma Fujun and that it could be driven in various terrains and was convenient for transportation.

So, Lü Buwei got everything he wanted from this unsuspecting blind man, and then, logically, this report on the wheelbarrow came to Xianyang through the internal responses everywhere.

Lü Buwei wanted to give the credit to Ying Yiren, but Ying Yiren didn't ask for it, but told him truthfully.

Ying Yiren rubbed his eyes, looked at Lu Buwei on the side, and said, "Sir, please go to the post station to rest, I am going to visit my mother." ”

Of course, Lu Buwei knew who Ying Yiren's mother was, and he hesitated for a moment before asking; "You might as well go take a bath first, and then go and meet her when you're ready, I'm afraid she'll think you don't respect her like this." Ying Yiren smiled and said, "You don't know my mother, not only will she not be unhappy, but she will reward me." Lu Buwei didn't want to say anything more, so he took the first step and left.

But Ying Yiren, who dragged his tired body, came to the palace and told the samurai that he wanted to see his mother, Mrs. Huayang.

The samurai did not recognize him, checked again and again, confirmed his identity, and then put on a respectful appearance, just because his identity was different from other sons, some samurai hurriedly went in to pray, Ying Yiren stood at the door, chatting with the samurai cordially, the samurai was flattered, and the person who went in to tell soon walked out and took Ying Yiren into the palace.

"Mother!" At the first glance of Mrs. Huayang, Ying Yiren bowed his head respectfully and bowed his respects. And Mrs. Huayang, because of his title, was a little moved, hurriedly stepped forward, helped him up, looked at his tired appearance, and said with some distress: "You just came back?" Why don't you take a few days off and come and see me again? ”

"I'm in Zhao Kingdom, I miss you and my father very much, I just returned to Xianyang, I can't wait to come to visit, please don't blame... I...", Ying Yiren looked at his somewhat torn clothes bitterly, Mrs. Huayang's eyes were red, and she said: "Don't say that, you can come to see me at the first time, I'm very happy, come, sit down." ”

The two sat down, Ying Yiren greeted his mother respectfully, and said some interesting stories he saw along the road, not humble or arrogant, his words were funny, Mrs. Huayang immediately liked her son, he is indeed a talent, different from other sons, Ying Yiren said, and took out his own gift and gave it to Mrs. Huayang, his gift is still the clothes of Chu State.

"You don't know, I'm in Zhao State, because every day I claim to be the son of the Chu people, and they all call me Zi Chu."

"Zichu... All right... Zichu. ”
