Although he has been in Qin for several months, Zhao Kuo has always been reluctant to see this "son", and the death of the flying cavalry Tiewei has made him haunted to this day. Today, I met Xiao Zhao Gao by chance, and after looking at each other for a long time, Zhao Kuo still didn't speak, sighed slightly, and turned around to leave.

"Brother Zhao, why don't you admit it?" Lu Buwei had already seen the unusual relationship between the two from Zhao Kuo's eyes, but what made him wonder was why Zhao Kuo behaved so coldly.

Zhao Kuo didn't answer, just shook his head, and then walked straight out of the palace gate.

A month later, King Yingyiren of Qin officially issued an edict: "The Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty secretly united with the princes and intended to attack Qin." Ordered the general Zhao Kuo and the prime minister Lü Buwei to lead 50,000 troops, go east to Hangu, and sweep Luoyang. "Originally, such a small battle, it was more than enough to send one general. However, although the Zhou family is weak, it is the country recognized by the princes as the suzerains for 800 years, and destroying its country is tantamount to changing the dynasty, so it has to be cautious.

Hearing that the army of Qin was coming, the Duke of Eastern Zhou was suddenly frightened and hurriedly summoned a group of old ministers in the country. At the same time, a secret envoy was sent to Xinzheng, which was less than 300 miles away from Luoyang, overnight, urging South Korea to send troops to rescue in accordance with the covenant.

"Just South Korea, how can you defeat the army of tigers and wolves of the Qin State?" After the secret envoy left, the Duke of Eastern Zhou felt that he still couldn't feel at ease.

"The old minister thought that the king could pretend to go out of the city to ask Qin for his guilt, and Wang Shi and the Han army were ambushed in the mountains and forests of the river valley and killed him by surprise." The eighty-year-old lady said eloquently.

The Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had no opinions, and felt that what the old lady said seemed to be reasonable, so he couldn't help but be greatly excited, and said: "Just follow the old lady's plan!" ”

The plan must be certain, the Duke of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty immediately worshiped the old lady as a general, and even moved out of the last family of the Zhou royal family, Xingwang Shi 10,000, and Lian Han broke Qin. King Han sent his troops in time, and as soon as the envoys left, 80,000 Korean cavalry hurriedly set out on the road under the leadership of General Han Peng. The two armies converged, and the old lady told Han Peng about his plan, and Han Peng also thought so, so he ordered the whole army to change its route and hide into the valley and mountains and forests a few miles outside the west gate of Luoyang.

At this time, the army of the Qin State could already faintly see the towering arrow tower of Luoyang City.

After the destruction of Zhou, the aftermath matters were complicated, and Zhao Kuo and Lü Buwei discussed along the way, but they were still a mess. Suddenly, a knight of the Qin army rushed from a distance, and there was still a person hanging on the ground. I saw that the knight came to Zhao Kuo, threw his hand and threw the person under the horse, raised his whip and said: "This person claims to be the special envoy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and wants to see the general." ”

"Oh? It's amazing! Zhao Kuo and Lu Buwei looked at each other and smiled, "What does the envoy have to say?" ”

The envoy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty got up from the ground in a frightened manner, patted the dust on his body, and said in a trembling voice: "Eastern Zhou ...... Zhou Gong's ...... Out of Luoyang five miles, please ...... Please ...... sin"

"Isn't it too late to sin at this time?" Lu Buwei squinted his eyes slightly and sneered.

Zhao Kuo waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go and see what tricks we can play!" After that, Zhao Kuo urged the horse to leave.

Seeing the Qin army's plan, the envoy of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly rushed back to Luoyang to report the news. After listening to the envoy's report, the Duke of Eastern Zhou felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and immediately led the royal guard of honor to open the west gate of Luoyang, and the solemn music of Zhou Li sounded leisurely on the official road of Luoyang.

A moment later, the army of Qin roared in, and a military flag with the word "Qin" fluttered first.

Zhao Kuo looked at the horse, and the white-haired Eastern Zhou Cheng stood tremblingly on a dilapidated bronze chariot, surrounded by a group of old ministers, and walked over.

"Go any further, there is no mercy for killing!" A shout suddenly came from the Qin army's array.

Dong Zhou Gong was so frightened that he hurriedly got off the car. The old lady then shouted: "The Duke of Eastern Zhou apologizes to Qin, and invites the general and prime minister to drink this wine." As he spoke, a chamberlain walked slowly forward with a large tray containing two bronze winelords.

Lü Buwei was just about to speak, when suddenly a sharp horn sounded all around, and 80,000 Han troops and 10,000 Zhou troops suddenly rushed out like a tide.

Zhao Kuo smiled contemptuously, didn't even look at the Han and Zhou coalition forces that came to kill, turned around and ordered: "Protect the prime minister!" ”

In just an instant, the Qin army formed a large circular crossbow array, protecting the Chinese army in the center. Under the overwhelming rain of arrows of the Qin army, the Han and Zhou coalition forces repeatedly rushed and killed several times, and they were stunned and could not break through to half a point.

"A rabble!" Zhao Kuo saw clearly the disparity in combat power between the two armies, so he decisively ordered, "Ten thousand horsemen all the way, five ways to intercept and kill!" Don't go to the Eastern Zhou Gong! ”

The 50,000 Qin troops quickly dispersed in formation, divided into five teams, and rushed straight into the Han and Zhou armies. The Zhou army had never experienced such a fierce offensive, almost at the touch of a button, although the Korean army was outnumbered, but the national strength declined, the equipment and ordnance were old, how could it defeat the tiger-like Qin army.

"Retreat!" Han Peng was also broken, how could he care about the Duke of Eastern Zhou, and fled to Xinzheng without looking back. In just half an hour, the 90,000 allied troops were scattered.

The Duke of Eastern Zhou originally thought that the number of coalition troops was twice as large as the Qin army, and it was a surprise attack, and the Qin army would definitely be defeated. Unexpectedly, in front of the Qin army, the coalition army was so vulnerable. Under the shock, the pale-faced Duke of the Eastern Zhou hurriedly left a group of ministers behind him and drove the dilapidated chariot to seize the road. But the mountains and fields are full of Qin army's iron cavalry, but where did they flee?

"General, General Wang Yu has led an army of 50,000 to attack Korea!" As soon as the war ended, the military commander Sima hurried to report it.

"Good!" Zhao Kuo turned to Lü Buwei, "It's just that what did the Duke of Eastern Zhou do?" ”

Lu Buwei laughed and said, "But you came to ask me what I was doing?" Escort back to Xianyang. ”

During the reign of King Xun of Zhou, the royal family of Zhou was split into two parts, King Xun moved west to the royal city, and the Eastern Zhou was governed by the Duke of Eastern Zhou. The Western Zhou royal family was annexed by the Qin State as early as the time of King Qin Zhao, and now the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has died again, and the Zhou Dynasty has also died after more than 800 years.

Ten days later, Wang Yi defeated the Han army and besieged Xinzheng. King Han had no choice but to sacrifice the two cities of Chenggao and Gongcheng to sue for peace, and Zhao Kuo sent someone to inform Wang Di to withdraw his troops.

The situation in Luoyang gradually calmed down, and at this time, the national lieutenant Sima Terrier came in the starry night and read out the edict of the King of Qin: Feng Lü Buwei was the Marquis of Wenxin, and he and Ma Fujun Zhao Kuo ate 100,000 households in Luoyang, and Luoyang set up Sanchuan County, and the county guard was concurrently served by Sima Terrier.

After the edict was announced, Sima Terrier conveyed the secret edict of the King of Qin to Zhao Kuo, asking him to secretly transfer the Qin army in Luoyang to raise grain and grass and prepare to go east in the coming year.

"The Qin army is going east, and the primary target must be Zhao State!" The stakes are very high, how can Zhao Kuo not be in a hurry! After Le Yi's death, there has been no one around him who can be trusted, but how is this good? After thinking about it, Zhao Kuo thought of his wife, Princess Ji Hua of Liyang.

Without further ado, Zhao Kuo immediately left Luoyang overnight and went straight to Liyang on the pretext of returning to the Lantian camp to rectify the military horses.

Liyang was once the capital of Qin before Qin Xiaogong, but since Xiaogong moved the capital to Xianyang, Liyang Palace has been abandoned. Later, Ji Hua was admitted to the Qin State and was named the princess of Liyang, and King Qin Zhao gave this quaint old palace of Liyang to Ji Hua to live in.

"Why is the husband here?" After a long absence, Ji Hua was choked up and speechless.

"Since you are a husband, why can't you come?" Zhao Kuo's heart throbbed, and he couldn't help but hug Ji Hua and teased.

Ji Hua quietly leaned on the man's muscular chest, letting his long hair flutter in the wind. After saving for a while, Zhao Kuo let go of Ji Hua and whispered in her ear: "Madame, can you go to Zhao on your behalf?" ”

"I see." Ji Hua looked at Zhao Kuo faintly, sighed, and stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Hua Mei......" Zhao Kuo bit her lip tightly, but she didn't know where to start, she owed her too much in this life.

"I was stunned, and then I said something." Seeing Zhao Kuo's guilty look, Ji Hua couldn't help but chuckle, "As long as it's for you, Ji Hua is even willing." ”
