Two days later, Gongzicheng took the monarch Zhao Yong lightly and went to Wu Guang's house to see Wu Wa.

But halfway through, Zhao Jun suddenly heard someone shouting not far away:

"Zhao is dying...... Zhao is dying...... Zhao Guo is dying! ”

When Zhao Jun heard this voice, he was very angry, so he asked the leader of the guards on the side:

"What's going on, who is so bold to curse me Zhao Kingdom to perish?"

The head of the guard also didn't know anything:

"The little one doesn't know, the little one is going to help the monarch arrest this bold maniac!"

Zhao Jun said angrily:

"Go quickly, this person must be severely punished after being arrested!"

At this time, Zhao Jun heard the same voice as just now:

"The faint king is in charge...... I, Zhao Guo, am really in charge! ”

When Zhao Jun heard this, he became even more angry at this time, and stopped the head of the guard:

"Go, after catching him, bring him here, the widow wants to see for himself where this arrogant person came from, dare to slander the widow in this Handan City!"

After a while, the guards escorted a man to Zhao Jun.

As soon as this person saw Zhao Jun, he didn't wait for him to question him, so he preemptively said to him:

"Monarch, now that the Qi State has joined forces with Zhongshan to invade our Zhao State, it is close to Handan City, my Zhao State is in danger, and the reinforcements of the Qin State have not arrived for a long time, haven't you been worried about this?"

Zhao Jun originally wanted to question this person, but when this person mentioned what he was most worried about, Zhao Jun had to endure it for the time being, and glanced at the person in front of him with disdain:

"If the widow is worried or not, what does it matter to people like you?"

The man quickly responded:

"Monarch, the rise and fall of my Zhao country is the responsibility of the husband, and I am as worried about it as you are the monarch!"

Zhao Jun questioned him:

"Since you know how to worry about my Zhao Kingdom, then why are you cursing my Zhao Kingdom for destruction, and slandering the widow as a faint king? Who gave you this guts? ”

The man replied:

"The courage is given by you, the monarch, otherwise how dare the little one say these words?"

Zhao Jun glared at the man:

"What? You say that the widow gave you the guts? ”

The man replied:

"Yes, I heard that the neighboring King of Wei, in order to govern the country well, let the people speak freely, and even ordered the people to accuse him of his mistakes, and when he went out, he would often accept the people's scolding without being ashamed, but the monarch was scolded a few words but was so angry, and he had to treat small sins, so how can we still tell the truth in Zhao State in the future?"

Zhao Jun snorted lightly:

"Hmph, what did you just call for? You are simply spreading rumors, and you dare to quibble here! ”

This man said:

"Little me, I'm not a rumor-monger!"

Zhao Jun was a little angry again:

"Okay, since you still dare to quibble, what is your name? If you can't explain to me why my Zhao Kingdom is going to perish, and why the widow is a faint king, then the widow will immediately order someone to drag you out of the city and divide your body! ”

The man replied:

"My name is Guo Kui, why do you say that Zhao is going to die, because you are the king of a country, when my Zhao country is about to be in calamity, you don't want to resist the armies of Qi and Zhongshan, but secretly come to the minister's house to have a private meeting with a woman, Zhao has a mediocre monarch like you, why don't you perish?"

Zhao Jun I was speechless.

Guo Kui continued:

"Now there are more than 300,000 troops in Qi and Zhongshan, and the momentum is high, and the distance from Handan is only 30 miles, and the 100,000 reinforcements of Qin have just arrived at the Yewang of Wei, and it will take a few days to rush to Handan to support, and our Handan is now only 200,000 troops, all of them are defeated generals, and reinforcements from other places cannot arrive, even if they add Qin reinforcements, they may not be able to resist the attack of the armies of Qi and Zhongshan, don't you have a count in your heart?"

Zhao Jun said:

"So what?"

郭隗 says:

"Since our Zhao State is destined to be unable to resist the enemy army, why sit back and wait? Therefore, the more this time, the more we Zhao Guo should take the initiative to attack, only in this way can our Zhao State have the hope of defeating the powerful enemy army! ”

Zhao Jun smiled bitterly:

"What? Take the initiative, are you crazy, knowing that you can't beat it, you still go to the egg to touch the stone? It's ridiculous, ridiculous! ”

Guo Kui continued:

"Don't you understand the truth of winning by surprise, monarch? Think that back then, Sun Wu defeated Chu with 30,000 Wu soldiers and defeated hundreds of thousands of Chu elites, and Wu Qi defeated 300,000 Qin with 50,000 troops from Wei and Hexi, didn't these all rely on surprise to win? ”

Zhao Jun couldn't help but laugh at Guo Kui:

"Haha...... Haha, you ...... Do you think you deserve to be compared with Sun Wu and Wu Qizuo? ”

Guo Kui replied:

"Although I, Guo Kui, don't have this talent, but I know that there is one person in our Zhao Kingdom who definitely has such a talent!"

Zhao Jun looked at Guo Kui:

"Really? I have such a genius in Zhao Guo? Why don't the widows know? That widow wants to know, in the eyes of you Guo Kui, who has such talent! ”

Guo Kui said with a smile:

"This person is none other than the strong man Nie Xian, the monarch you want to send him to the Qi camp!"

Zhao Jun snorted lightly:

"Huh, really? As far as the widow knows, this Nie Xian is just a Korean criminal assassin who knows some martial arts, but you say that he can lead the army to fight, what a joke, a joke! ”

Guo Kui stood up by himself and patted the dust on his body:

"Monarch, since the situation of my Zhao Kingdom has reached such a dangerous time, it is time for a savior hero to appear, and looking at the entire Zhao Kingdom, do you think there are really other more suitable candidates who can repel the enemy army? Please think about it, my lord! ”

At this time, Zhao Cheng on the side immediately knelt in front of Zhao Jun:

"The Monarch...... The monarch, the minister also thinks that what Guo Kui said is reasonable, and I beg the monarch that you can think about it! ”

Zhao Jun is also a little uncertain about it:

"But this matter is too big, let the widow make a decision at the court meeting tomorrow!"

The next day, Zhao Jun convened the ministers to discuss, but the courtiers did not agree with the majority, but no one argued with Guo Kui, and now Zhao Bao, the minister of state who is acting as the lord, has no suitable way to retreat from the enemy.

Zhao Jun also had to temporarily believe Gongzicheng and Guo Kui, and ordered someone to recover Nie Xian, who was about to be sent to the Qi camp, with Nie Xian as the main general, the veteran Zhao Zhuang as the deputy general, and Guo Kui as the military advisor, leading 70,000 Zhao troops to take the initiative to attack the combined forces of Qi and Zhongshan that had crossed Zhangshui.

The Zhao army soon reached five miles west of Feidi and confronted the Qi army, which had occupied Feidi.

At this time, Nie Xian's army was not only facing the hundreds of thousands of Qi troops in the fertile land, but also facing the pressure of the Zhongshan army in the direction of the Northeast Julu, and was in danger of being surrounded by the armies of these two countries at any time.

Nie Xian actually didn't know much about military affairs, after all, this was also his first time as a general, so he still obeyed Guo Kui in everything, which naturally caused the deputy general Zhao Zhuang to be dissatisfied.

After Zhao Zhuang waited for Guo Kui to help Nie Xian finish the deployment, he came to question Nie Xian:

"You don't know anything about military affairs at all, why do you want to deceive our monarch?"

Nie Xian didn't know how to explain to this Zhao Zhuang.

Next to him, Guo Kui immediately explained for Nie Xian:

"General Zhao Zhuang, you can't accuse us General Nie for such a reason, our Zhao country is now in danger, the entire Zhao country is counting on us, if we can't unite, how can we defeat the enemy army?"

Zhao Zhuang smiled lightly and coldly:

"Hmph, don't talk to General Ben about these useless things, since Nie Xian doesn't know anything about military affairs, he shouldn't sit in the position of the main general, not to mention that now is the time when my Zhao State is in trouble, how can you let such a person harm my Zhao State?"

Nie Xian had never been so angry, so he also responded to Zhao Zhuang:

"What are you? Dare to come here to accuse General Ben? ”

Zhao Zhuang jumped like thunder and pointed at Nie Xian and said:

"Who do you think you are, you despicable man? Dare to be presumptuous in front of this general, when this general has been through a hundred battles, you still don't know where to be a beggar, you are still standing up in front of this general, right? ”

Nie Xian couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and suddenly rushed over, took out the fish intestine sword from his sleeve, stabbed it directly into Zhao Zhuang's abdomen, and said angrily:

"You, the general of the defeated army, are embarrassed to claim to be experienced in a hundred battles, and I Nie Xian let you know the fate of offending my Nie Xian."

Guo Kui on the side was also shocked when he saw this scene, and when he saw Zhao Zhuang who was stabbed, he was about to shout outside at this time, and immediately rushed over to cover Zhao Zhuang's mouth, and said to Nie Xian, who was a little impulsive and at a loss:

"In that case, don't stay alive, don't leave alive!"

Nie Xian understood, quickly pulled out the fish intestine sword, and stabbed Zhao Zhuang several times in a row, until Zhao Zhuang's flesh and blood were blurred and he lost his breath, then stopped, and then asked Guo Kui:

"What shall I do now, sir?"

Guo Kui also let go of Zhao Zhuang, who had no longer struggled, and then said:

"It's come to this, let's quickly dig a pit on the spot and bury him, don't let anyone know for the time being!"

After speaking, Guo Kui walked outside the tent door and said to the guards:

"Just now you heard any sound in the big account, if there is any leakage, you will be punished with the army!"

Then he called the two of them in and buried Zhao Zhuang on the spot.

After dealing with the matter, Guo Kui asked Nie Xian to go out and inform the soldiers that the deputy general Zhao Zhuang had returned to Handan, so as not to make these soldiers suspicious, and then continued to arrange the countermeasures for attacking the Qi army as if they were safe.

Before dawn the next day, Guo Kui first led 20,000 Zhao troops to Feicheng City, and took the initiative to invite the Qi army to fight.

The main general of the Qi army in the city at this time was Tian Ji, and when he saw that Zhao Jun suddenly dared to come to invite his Qi army to fight, his face was also full of incredulity.

After all, Tian Ji also knew that the Zhao army arrived five miles outside the city, thinking that it was just here to send him to death, so he didn't care, but was planning how to break through Handan City with the Zhongshan army, after all, since the Battle of Guiling more than forty years ago, Handan has not been breached again, and the last time Qi attacked Zhao, he didn't get more benefits, because he didn't break through Handan City, Tian Ji naturally had to prepare for this this time.

At this time, Tian Ji walked to the city tower and looked at the Zhao army lineup, and sure enough, it seemed to stretch for several miles, so he responded to Guo Kui's invitation to fight:

"Okay, you Zhao Guo can be so knowledgeable about current affairs, how can I, Qi Guo, not give face? As long as you Zhao State does not run away, you can choose any battle place for five miles around the fertile land, and my Qi Kingdom will never fail to make an appointment! ”
