Chapter 19: The Villain

"You're saying those two of your brothers have teamed up against you?" Zhao Fu was not surprised when he heard this, this kind of thing is not impossible.

"Yes," Zhao Qian smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid this trip is not as simple as I imagined." ”

Zhao Fu nodded, this was the purpose of bringing Zheng Yuan's subordinates and the Iron Arm Army out, and he had already felt that this trip was by no means a simple matter. Even ordinary family succession will make a fuss and make you die, not to mention that this is a major event related to the entire Zhao Kingdom.

"I'm sorry."

After a long time, Zhao Qian apologized to Zhao Fu. He knew that because he was in a hurry, he had swept Zhao Fu into this huge whirlpool.

"How do you feel after seeing the war?" Zhao Fu turned away from the topic.

"It's not very good." Zhao Qian shook his head again and again, he seemed to be able to smell the smell of death when he thought about it now, and he felt sick to his stomach.

"That's good." Zhao Fu said with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhao Qian was puzzled.

Zhao Fu did not reply to him immediately, but first answered the matter that Zhao Qian said that he was implicated in before.

"Zhongzhou is a huge whirlpool, since the Zhao family founded the country here, this matter has been doomed, no matter how hard you try, this whirlpool will always stir everything around, you, me, Lanting and the northwest...... It's just a matter of time. Zhao Fu sighed, although Zhao Jiajian was not the fuse of this whole incident, it was also the spark that ignited, all this was destined to be unavoidable, rather than waiting for this whirlpool to get bigger and bigger, it was better to come in earlier, at least there was a chance for tranquility in the center of the whirlpool.

"But this will kill a lot of people......" Zhao Qian almost vomited again.

"Dead man...... It's good to get used to it. Zhao Fu wrote lightly.

"Teacher, don't you care at all?" Zhao Qian was puzzled, in his opinion, Zhao Fu was not this kind of person who regarded human life as a mustard.

"Of course I do." Zhao Fu replied quickly, without any hesitation.

"However, troubled times are hungry beasts, and you can only feed them with human life." Zhao Fu said this, he heard this sentence from Xia Yingyang, at first he didn't understand why Xia Yingyang would describe it like this, but then he slowly understood, and when he looked at the list of fallen soldiers after pacifying Beihu, he understood.

For the sake of peace, sacrifice is inevitable, which is not a big reason, but it is extremely lowly and inferior - for the sake of peace, you can deprive him of the right to life and give him the guilt of death.

Zhao Fu also knew that he was actually in command of hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest, that is, he was a despicable and shameless villain. Soldiers are the most pitiful profession, they are only sacrifices to the beast in exchange for something called peace, they are just pawns.

Fortunately, when everyone is mean, this guilt becomes much softer.

"It's a good thing that you don't like the dead, and if you don't like the dead, you can fight a lot less, fight a lot less, and you won't be so uncomfortable here." Zhao Fu poked Zhao Qian's chest.

"Teacher, you're a little weird today." Zhao Qian was poked a little painfully, and he said while holding his chest.

"It's nothing, it's just that I remembered myself when I first started killing, and like you, I want to vomit." Zhao Fu said.

"Ah, it turns out that you can vomit too, teacher, how much do you vomit, don't lie!" Zhao Qian suddenly came to his senses.

"I didn't throw up, I got used to it quickly." Zhao Fu was not satisfied with Zhao Qian's self-comparison.

"A teacher is a teacher, you are better than me!" Zhao Qian pursed his lips.

"But I'm very envious of you, you're good like this, unlike me, who has more than 100,000 lives." Zhao Fu told the truth.

"You cow!" Zhao Qianquan was running on himself when Zhao Fu was squeezing himself.

In his opinion, Zhao Fu is indeed a cow, how can this kind of cow envy himself. must be mocking him in a different way, Zhao Qian quietly did not intend to continue this topic.

"Master, the count is complete." At this time, it happened that Zheng Yuan had just finished counting the granary of Geyang City.

"How much more food is there?" Zhao Fu asked.

"A lot, enough for us to hit Zhongzhou City." Zheng Yuan reported.

"Okay, let's get a resupply, we'll rest for a day, and we'll continue on our way tomorrow morning." Zhao Fu thought about it and decided to take a day off first.

After all, they have been on the road for eight days, and they have walked a lot at night, even if these are veterans, they can't withstand such a long toss.

"Yet?" Zheng Yuan asked, he knew that Zhao Fu was in a hurry this time.

"The plan has changed, and the raid can't be fought." Zhao Fu explained.

Indeed, just from Geyang City, which had already prepared, it could be seen that at least the second and third heirs of the Zhao family were still wary of Zhao Qian, the first heir. When the other party is already prepared, he still walks all day at night, exhausting the soldiers and then goes to deliver food? Since the surprise attack failed, it could only be played head-on.

Fortunately, Zhao Fu has never been afraid to face others head-on.

Zhao Fu is ready for a long-term tug-of-war, and Geyang City will become his important stronghold in this tug-of-war. Just now, he had already written to Feng Yu, asking him to transfer people from the northwest to help him guard this Geyang City as his base in Zhao State.

"What about us?" Zheng Yuan asked for instructions.

"We're going all the way through with dignity." Zhao Fu laughed.

"I see." When Zheng Yuan heard this, he immediately began to make arrangements.

"Zhao Qian." After instructing Zheng Yuan, Zhao Fu still needed to make a few other preparations.

"In! What's wrong? Zhao Qian replied.

"How many powers are you able to connect with now?" Zhao Fu asked.

"Not much, most of my people withdrew from Zhongzhou City in advance in order to preserve their strength, and the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry is now almost divided by Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang......" Zhao Qian's face was sad, he thought that Zhao Fu wanted him to help send troops over there.

He is different from the two brothers Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang, although he is the first heir in line and has the support of twenty-five big treasurers, but because he has been in Lanting City before, he does not have too many opportunities to cultivate the power in Zhongzhou City, and the most important of these is that he has no military power, so he still has to rely on Zhao Fu's power.

If this weren't the case, he wouldn't have called Zhao Fu at all, he could have directly swaggered back to Zhongzhou City to succeed him directly.

"I want you to help me inquire about the other party's arming, can this be done?" Zhao Fu asked, at least he must know himself and his opponent in a war, and he must be clear about the strength of his opponent.

"There's nothing wrong with that, just ask someone." Zhao Qian agreed.

"Well, there's one more thing I can't figure out, you go and investigate." Zhao Fu continued.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Qian asked.
