Zhao Gu saw that Master Zhao had such ambitions, and he was unwilling to admit defeat, so he swore: "Minister, even if you have your liver and brains, you will keep the territory of the Zhao family and protect your descendants forever." ”

Master Zhao's father smiled heartily: "With you in Northern Xinjiang, you can be lonely and worry-free." ”

Three days later, Zhao's father gathered 30,000 cavalry from Daijun and traveled westward to Yanmen County, which was newly developed in the three counties.

Lord Zhao's father did not enter the city, and couldn't wait to climb the Great Wall built by Zhao Xin. Master Zhao climbed the Great Wall and looked at the scenery of the Great Wall. The Great Wall winds and undulates from east to west, like a giant dragon, embedded in Hujiang. The flag clattered with the wind.

"If the descendants are blessed by this city, the Zhao family will be able to be forever solid, and the descendants will be safe." Master Zhao stood on the Great Wall, spread his arms, embraced the world, and said in an impassioned tone: "This is the territory of loneliness. ”

The officers and soldiers of the three armies of Zhao State shouted in unison, "Long live Lord Zhao, long live Zhao State." ”

The voices of tens of thousands of people echoed in the valley and could not be dissipated for a long time.

"Master Zhao, please take a look." Sima Wangzu unfolded the map, his fingers constantly moving, "This is the inner Great Wall, this is the outer Great Wall." We built the inner and outer Great Wall, even if Beihu went south, and invaded our territory. We were also able to take advantage of the hardships of the Great Wall to intercept Beihu. We were also able to learn the news of Beihu's southward movement in the first time. ”

Master Zhao asked, "How do we send the news of Beihu's southward movement back to Handan?" ”

Sima Wangzu pointed to the map and said, "The Great Wall is built along the mountain range. We adapted measures to local conditions and took advantage of the natural topography to intercept Beihu. Finding that Beihu was heading south, we lit a beacon to warn. The Great Wall has beacon towers every 100 miles, guarded by special soldiers. ”

"Beihu, how to warn when you go south during the day, and what about going south at night?"

"Smoke by day, open fire by night."

"That's very good."

"The Great Wall is not only for us to intercept the Hu people from going south and warn Handan. We built checkpoints on each steep terrain, relying on the Great Wall, and went north to attack Hu. The north of the Great Wall will become the pasture of our cavalry. ”

"Lonely, climb the Great Wall to see the world." Master Zhao walked along the Great Wall, went west, and then climbed the Outer Great Wall. The scenery inside and outside the Great Wall is different.

Zhao's father climbed the Great Wall, pointed out the rivers and mountains, and learned more about the newly opened Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Jiuyuan counties. These three counties, with the Great Wall as a backing, can attack Beihu to the north, and can also block Beihu from moving south.

With the barrier of the Great Wall, Beihu will also be greatly weakened by relying on cavalry and shooting.

Another day later, Master Zhao gathered 40,000 cavalry from the three counties of Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Jiuyuan, plus 30,000 from Daijun, a total of 70,000, and walked north from the outer city, he wanted to find the traces of Lou's annoying.

The army marched north for half a month, and did not find the building annoying. Zhao Yong thought to himself: "Could it be that Chenglou is annoying and has been going north from here to Chu State?" ”

Master Zhao led the army, crossed the Gobi, crossed the desert, and then traveled north for more than ten days, showing a fertile grassland in front of him.

Master Zhao watched the eagle soaring in the sky and the beast fleeing in all directions, and said in his heart: "The land of Hujiang is bigger than he imagined. ”

Master Zhao asked, "Where is this place?" ”

Sima Wangzu spread out the map, looked at it, shook his head and said, "Minister, I don't know." ”

The other generals also gathered, and they didn't know where this place was.

Seeing that there was no map mark in this area, Master Zhao asked again: "How far is it from the four counties in Saibei?" ”

Sima Wangzu replied: "We walked along the north for more than 20 days. According to the itinerary we planned, we walked 100 miles every day. Here, it is at least thousands of miles away from the four counties of Saibei. ”

"Hu Jiang, it's really a magical land." Master Zhao sighed: "Lonely, I thought that after the vast desert, it was still a desert. But I never thought that after the desert, it was a different scenery. There are mountains, rivers and grasslands, which are suitable for animal husbandry. What a pity! ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "What is the pity of Master Zhao's father?" ”

"It's a pity that there is a lot of wind and sand here, and there is a large temperature difference between day and night. It is not suitable for us Chinese people to live in, and we cannot gain a foothold here. Master Zhao looked at the endless grassland and said with emotion: "This territory, if we can firmly control it, it would be great." ”

"Then we'll make this territory our new pasture."

"Lonely, don't dare to hope. It's too far away from the four counties of Saibei. ”

One person replied: "Master Zhao, if the last general is not mistaken, this is the territory of the Donghu people's activities. ”

"Donghu people?" Master Zhao asked, "It is said that the territory of the Donghu people is very extensive. We traveled all the way north, why didn't we see the Donghu people? ”

The man replied, "Master Zhao defeated Sanhu and raised his power in the grassland. The Donghu people are afraid of our country and go eastward to chase the place where the sun is rising. It is said that the world to the east is much larger, and the pasture and water are more abundant than here. ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "Master Zhao, do we still want to continue to travel north to find the annoying building?" ”

Master Zhao nodded and continued: "If you are alone, you have to find the traces of Lou's annoyance. ”

Master Zhao led the group and continued to walk north. I don't know how long it took to walk, but the water blocked the way in front of everyone.

Ji grabbed the water from the river, took a sip, and shouted: "Master Zhao, we have arrived at the coast of the East China Sea." ”

Master Zhao shook his head and said, "Lonely, I've seen it from an ancient book." Here, it should belong to the North Sea. ”

Sima Wangzu looked at the seemingly calm water and asked, "This is Beihai." ”

"The world is divided into nine states and four seas." Master Zhao looked at the water and continued: "The east of Qi is the East China Sea; south of the state of Chu, travel thousands of miles, and arrive at the South China Sea; From the north of Handan, tens of thousands of miles, is the North Sea; The state of Qin traveled thousands of miles west to reach the West Sea. ”

Le Yi asked curiously, "What will be north of the North Sea?" ”

"No one will be able to cross the North Sea." Master Zhao said: "Legend has it that there is a sea in the north of the end of the north, and there is a fish in the sky, which is thousands of miles wide, and its length is called Yan, and its name is Kun." This may be the land of the North Sea, which is recorded in ancient books. ”

Sima Wangzu asked: "The coast of the North Sea, could it be the south of the Chu State." Lou annoyed people will not cross the sea and go to the state of Chu. ”

Master Zhao shook his head and said, "There are not only Kun in the North Sea, but also other sea monsters and glaciers. No one will be able to get out of the North Sea. ”

Ji Qian asked: "Master Zhao, we traveled all the way north and arrived in Beihai, and we didn't meet Lou Annoying. Where did the annoying people go. ”

Master Zhao said: "The northern frontier is too big, we are in the wrong place. Or the building annoys people to the east and arrives at Donghu. Or maybe Lou Fu traveled west and arrived at another unknown territory. ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "Master Zhao, what should we do now?" ”

Master Zhao's father dismounted and paid tribute to the mountains and rivers.

Master Zhao led 70,000 iron horsemen through the desert, escaped into the desert, and went deep into the grassland to find the traces of Lou's annoying. Unexpectedly, they pounced on the air and arrived in the North Sea.

Going north, there is no annoying building, then the trouble in the northern frontier of Zhao State will be eliminated for the time being. Perhaps, this territory will usher in a new master and threaten the Zhao State. But a hundred years later, Master Zhao can't predict it. Now, what he has to do is to cut down Qin and compete for hegemony in the Central Plains.

The further north you go, the sparse vegetation and the colder the weather, and many cavalry are also unadaptable. Seeing that this phenomenon was spreading rapidly in the military camp, Master Zhao's father had no choice but to order him to go south and return to China.

Everyone traveled south and returned to Zhao. Master Zhao's father didn't dare to be careless, and was ready to start a war with Lou's annoying encounter.

When everyone crossed the desert and traveled south for more than ten days, a majestic city wall appeared in front of everyone.

Sima Wangzu pointed to the Great Wall and said happily: "Master Zhao, the Great Wall." We have returned. ”

All the soldiers looked at the Great Wall, extremely cordial, and shouted in unison.

During the trip to northern Xinjiang, although there was no trace of Lou annoying, the harvest was also huge. Master Zhao not only broadened his horizons, but also discovered that the north of Zhao was a broader territory, and they even reached the legendary Beihai.

This night, Master Zhao's father was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a noisy sound.

Master Zhao asked, "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as Master Zhao's words fell, Sima Wangzu ran in in a hurry and said angrily: "Master Zhao, the beacon tower is a warning." ”

"Beacon warning." Master Zhao asked, "It's annoying to find Lou." ”

"I don't know if it's annoying." Sima Wang's breath was steady, and he said worriedly: "The beacon tower is a warning, on behalf of the Beihu attacker." We need to prepare early. ”

Master Zhao shouted: "Come on, wear armor for solitary." Lone, I want to see who has invaded my territory. ”

Sima Wangzu hurriedly said: "Master Zhao doesn't need to go in person, Ji Xuan, Zhao Xi, Le Yi and other generals are rushing to the scene with 30,000 cavalry. ”

"Lonely, the north is troublesome and fruitless. Return, the enemy Koubian. Lonely, how can you not go and see. ”

Wearing battle armor and riding a horse, Lord Zhao's father led 30,000 cavalry to reinforcements, leaving 10,000 cavalry to defend the city.

Ji Xuan, Le Yi, and Zhao Xi saw that Master Zhao had stepped into danger regardless of his personal safety, and hurriedly said: "Minister, see Master Zhao." ”

"No need to be polite." Master Zhao climbed the pass of the Great Wall, looked outside the Great Wall, and asked, "What is the situation now?" ”

Zhao Xi replied: "Someone took advantage of the night to sneak attack and was repelled by our army. ”

Master Zhao asked, "Is Lou annoying?" ”

Ji Qian said: "The night is too dark, we don't know who it is, and we don't know how many enemies there are outside the city. We only repelled the invading enemy, and did not dare to go out of the city to pursue. ”

"The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. We must not attack, lest we fall into the trap designed by the enemy. Master Zhao looked outside the city, and then stared at the bleak night sky, "Wait until dawn and go out of the city to pursue." ”

The enemy outside the city saw that he could not break through the Great Wall, and saw that Zhao reinforcements had arrived, so he had to retreat. As the sky became clearer, Master Zhao couldn't wait any longer, rode a horse, personally led 60,000 iron horsemen, and went out of the city to find the enemy who came last night.

Last night, the king of Lou Fu sent a forward to take advantage of the night to capture the pass of the Great Wall and capture Jiuyuan County. Unexpectedly, Zhao Guo was very secretly guarded. King Lou Fu planned to personally lead his troops south, break through the Great Wall, and regain the dignity that he had been defeated by the Zhao people a few years earlier. Lou annoys the king to slaughter sheep, reward the soldiers, and wait for the food and drink enough, and then fight a decisive battle with the Zhao people. At this moment, a Lou Fu warrior ran in, "Your Majesty, it's not good, I found a large number of cavalry. ”

Prince Lou Fu asked, "Who is the person who came?" ”

"Zhao Ren."

King Lou Fu said angrily: "I didn't go to them, they took the initiative to send them to the door." ”

Prince Lou Fu asked, "How many are there?" ”

"There are too many people to see clearly."

"Who leads?"

"I don't know."

King Lou Fu scolded: "Waste." ”

The prince of Lou Fu hurriedly said: "Zhao is powerful, and it is elite, we might as well withdraw!" ”

"It's too late." King Lou Fu shouted angrily: "We are cavalry, and the Zhao people are also cavalry. If we withdraw, we will also be caught up by the Zhao people. The Zhao people came to the door, and we fought against it. Deliver the order, gather the warriors, and prepare for battle. ”

Lou annoys and Zhao people, and the two armies face each other.

Master Zhao smiled: "It's really annoying"

Sima Wangzu saw that Lou was annoying and crowded, so he was ready to fight, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhao, Lou is annoying and annoying, and he is good at riding and shooting. Our little soldiers and horses are annoyed against Lou and have no chance of winning. ”

Master Zhao asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Sima Wangzu said: "Return to the Great Wall." ”

"Retreat?" Master Zhao said with a smile: "As soon as we retreat, Lou annoys people and raises troops to attack me." 60,000 cavalry, in danger. ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "Master Zhao means to start a war with Lou Furen. ”

Master Zhao's father pointed to the black pressure on a piece of the building annoying, talking and laughing, "Although the building is annoying, it is not good at arraying." Lou is annoying and good at riding and shooting, and my Zhao people are not weak. A few years ago, Lou Furen was defeated by us, and there was a shadow in his heart, how dare they fight against us. ”

Sima Wangzu said uneasily: "Lou Fu is attacking in a big way, what should I do." ”

Master Zhao replied: "Lonely, the gambling house is annoying and does not have the courage to go to war." ”

Zhao Xi saw that Master Zhao regarded the battlefield as a gamble, and reminded: "Master Zhao, Lou is annoying and good at fighting, far better than Lin Hu, we can't be careless." ”

Master Zhao looked at Lou's annoying position and said with a smile: "Lou's annoying people don't dare to attack because they are in awe of us." Lou annoying people are afraid to start a war with us. We make peace with it. ”

Zhao Xi said: "What if the king of Lou is not peaceful." ”

Master Zhao smiled: "Salute first and then soldier." ”

Sima Wang's clan stepped forward and shouted, "Master Zhao, please ask King Lou Fu to come out and speak." ”

Prince Lou Fu asked, "Who is Master Zhao's father?" We only talk to Zhao Jun. ”

Sima Wangzu said sharply: "Master Zhao's father is Zhao Jun. ”

Prince Lou Fu lost his voice and said, "What did you say." Master Zhao's father is Zhao Jun. ”

"Where is Master Zhao's father?"

"Lonely, here." Zhao Yongce immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Prince Loufu, we meet again." ”

Seeing that it was really Zhao Jun, Prince Lou Fu rode back, "Father, Zhao Jun is here." ”

King Lou Fu was shocked: "What are you talking about, Zhao Jun is here." ”

The general of the Lou Fu Department saw that there were many Zhao people, the military appearance was neat, and it was the father of Zhao who led the army, and the Zhao people were all elites, and they were afraid in their hearts, and advised the king of Lou Fu to surrender.

In order to regain the dignity of a man, King Lou Fu shouted: "Prepare to fight." ”

The King of Lou Fu gave an order, but did not get a response from the Lou Fu Warriors.

It turned out that a few years ago, King Lou Fu, King Lin Hu and Donghu allied with Zhongshan to attack Zhao Guodaijun, and Sanhu jointly attacked Zhao and was defeated by the Zhao people. With the help of King Lin Hu, King Lou Fu broke out of the encirclement and fled far away to Mobei.

When the Lou Fu warriors met Zhao Ren again, the shadow in their hearts had not yet dispersed, and they did not dare to face the battle.

Seeing this, Prince Lou Fu hurriedly said, "Father, we have no chance of winning. Zhao Jun asked his father to speak, and we didn't talk about it. ”

Seeing that the Zhao army was very numerous, and it was Zhao Jun who personally led the army, and his subordinates were cowardly, he was furious in his heart, but he had no choice but to come to the front of the battle and shouted: "The one who comes, but Zhao Jun." ”

Master Zhao said: "King Lou Fu, we meet again." Do you remember me? ”

King Lou Fu replied loudly: "Zhao Jun attacked Sanhu, expanded Hu Jiang, and raised the grassland. The people of the grassland, when they heard the name of Zhao Jun, all fled far away. I lost to Zhao Jun, how can I not remember. ”

Master Zhao asked, "The last time we fought, we didn't have a winner. The king of Lou Fu intends to start a war with me, and it will not be possible to divide the ranks. ”

King Lou Fu shouted: "Exactly." ”

Master Zhao smiled and said: "King Lou Fu, if you return to the orphan, surrender to the Zhao State." The previous thing, Lonely, can not be pursued. ”

"Lou annoying man, standing up to the sky and the earth, how can he be submissive to you." King Lou Fu shouted: "Zhao Jun, Hugh has to say more, if you want to fight, you will fight." ”

"Okay." Master Zhao said: "King Lou Fu is a man, and he will fulfill you alone." The whole army listened to the order and prepared for war. ”

The voices of tens of thousands of people in Zhao Guo shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill." ”

King Lou Fu pulled out his sword and shouted, "Lou Fu man, prepare to attack." ”

The generals of the Lou Annoying Department said in unison: "Your Majesty, you can't go to war. ”

King Lou Fu said angrily: "What are you doing? ”

Seeing that the tribe was afraid of the Zhao people, the general trend had gone, and he also said: "Father, the soldiers of Zhao are strong and strong, and it is Zhao Jun who personally leads the troops. We are not Zhao Jun's opponents. ”

"If you can't win, you have to fight, this is a man's choice."

"My father forsaken the lives of his people for the sake of his own honor. My father also wanted to learn from King Linhu, and he died in battle. ”

"You want me to surrender to the Zhao people."

"Father, the tribes don't want to fight, let's surrender!"

Seeing that the general was asking for surrender in nonsense, King Lou Fu sighed: "That's it, that's it." ”

King Lou Fu dismounted, walked to Lord Zhao's father, took off his sword, and shouted: "Zhao Jun, I am willing to surrender." ”

Master Zhao turned over and dismounted, came to the king of Loufu, took the war knife and said, "Lonely, I promise your invitation." ”

"Against Zhao Jun, it was all done by me, please Zhao Jun not hurt the lives of my people."

Master Zhao's father shouted in Huren: "Lou Fu and Zhao Guo have always lived in harmony. Lou Fu united with Lin Hu and Dong Hu to attack our Dai County, which led to the two countries becoming hostile. ”

Lou Fu Wang was shocked, "Zhao Jun will talk nonsense." ”

"Today, Lou Fu surrendered to Zhao Guo, and Lone accepted your invitation to surrender, and you will not be able to rebel."

"Lone allows you to graze in the northern frontier of Zhao State, but you can't be presumptuous, you have to listen to Zhao Guo's orders. Once there is war in the Zhao Kingdom, you need assistance. ”

King Lou Fu asked, "Zhao Jun allows us to return to our homeland?" ”

"King Lou, the climate in Saibei is not comfortable!" Master Zhao's father helped up King Lou Fu and said in a loud voice: "Lone allows you to return to the territory of the Lin Hu people, and graze in Jiuyuan County of Zhao State." ”

Seeing that there was no need to stay in the bitter cold land of Saibei, King Lou Fu hurriedly said: "I am willing to surrender." ”

The warriors of Lou Fu also shouted: "I am willing to surrender." ”
