Zhao sent the famous general Li Mu to lead 200,000 tigers to the Black Flag Pass, and according to the Liuzhuo Cliff plan, the border plug was close to the Ningwu Pass outside the Saiwai Province, and the Zhenyuan Pass was built as solid.

The distance between the two cities is not too far, and the places separated by each other are mostly mountainous and hilly, and the terrain is dangerous, which is not conducive to marching. However, the northern part of the two places is full of wide and flat land, suitable for cavalry combat.

Not to mention that the Zhao army hoarded a lot of heavy troops in the two passes, the money and grain donated by the people also began to be sent here in a steady stream, and then transferred to Li Mu's camp every week.

So as to support Li Mu's march into the Black Flag Pass, so, to be precise, the two passes have become the rear camp of the Zhao army, and if the two passes are lost, the Tiger Ben army led by Li Mu will be completely hollowed out, losing the support of grain, grass and ordnance.

Therefore, Zhenyuan Pass and Ningwu Pass are facing the Tiger Ben Army who are preparing to seize the Black Flag Pass of Yan State. Or, for the Yan army that was preparing to go south to break into the Zhao State, it was of great significance.

However, the first problem in Zhao State, which caused panic in the court, was not the two passes in the north of the country, but Qingyang County, which was close to Handan City.

After Liu Zhuoya left, Zhao lost the minister of the humerus, Zhao Mukong had diplomatic talents, but lacked military experience, only after informing Zhao Fan, he handed over the northern military power to Li Mu.

At the same time, he began to send officials to Xinzhao to strive for peace talks with Zhao Shide, transfer back the Fengzixiu Army, and make every effort to deal with Feng Yi in the Southern Zhao region.

Even if Zhao Mu made a dispatch, he was still panicked in his heart,

More than ten days after Liu Zhuoya left, news came from Qingyang County on the eastern front that Lin Xiao led the army through Cangyan Mountain, and 100,000 troops appeared in Qingyang County.

The news was transmitted back to the court, and suddenly, the Zhao State court, whose atmosphere had just eased, seemed to explode in an instant.

Even Zhao Fan, who was holding his concubine for fun, was so frightened that he rushed away the concubine and realized the crisis of Zhao State.

Qingyang County, only two counties away from Handan City, the Yan army passed through Mengcheng County and Langxi County, and will appear under Handan City again.

He really didn't expect that Yan Jun would not make a move, and as soon as he made a move, he was ready to directly choke his lifeline.

Moreover, a few days ago, Liu Zhuoya left the Zhao State because of his guilt and went to the Eastern vassal states to find another lord.

At present, the Zhao court has long become chaotic, and the only person he can rely on is Zhao Mu, the uncle of the Sixth Emperor, and the famous ministers who went to Southern Zhao with him before were mostly detained by Feng Yi, and he did not trust the old ministers of Northern Zhao.

"Sixth uncle, the Yan army suddenly appeared in Qingyang County, only two counties away from Handan, if it can't form an effective defense, I'm afraid that the Zhao family will be destroyed."

When the crisis came, Zhao Mu didn't want to sit idly by, but he didn't know anything about military affairs, and he had the urge to eat the tiger and not be able to catch it.

Glancing at Zhao Fan, who was in a hurry, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, it is especially possible to live if you do evil in the sky, but you can't live if you do it yourself, when you drove away the Liuzhuo Cliff, did you ever think about today's situation.

If there is a willow cliff, today's crisis, the willow cliff must have a clever plan to relieve.

What's more, he dared to predict that Lin Xiao led 100,000 troops to appear in Qingyang County, which was just the beginning, and the south, west, and north, and soon there would be Yan troops appearing, and at that time, it was really at the end of the road.

After thinking about it, Zhao Mu didn't come up with a good way, Zhao Fan looked at it, his expression showed a look of pain, and he said in a difficult tone: "Uncle Huang, if you don't want to commit a crime?" ”

offended Liu Zhuoya because of his guilt, causing Liu Zhuoya to leave Zhao in a fit of anger.

Later, Zhao Mu calmly explained to him the benefits of the guilty book, and when he realized that he had done something, it was too late, Liu Zhuoya abandoned him, and rumors unfavorable to him also flowed among the people.

At present, the Yan army is attacking, and he hopes to issue a letter of guilt, calm the people's anger, and gather the strength of the people to resist the Yan army.

"No, never!" Hearing this, Zhao Mu, who was listless, raised his head suddenly and hurriedly stopped him.

At the beginning, when Liu Zhuoya proposed to release the guilty letter, the general environment was good, the people could accept it, and they would be able to see Zhao Fan's sincerity.

The promulgation of the guilty book will bring unprecedented prestige to Zhao Fan, and the court and people of Zhao will definitely gather around Zhao Fan.

However, the current situation has changed, the Yan army is coming, the Zhao country is in danger, the people are panicked, and Zhao Fan is bound to complain. At this moment, Zhao Fan issued a letter of guilt, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire and prove to the people of Zhao that he was incompetent?

In this way, if Zhao Fan does not abdicate, I am afraid that it will be difficult to eliminate the anger of the people.

At that time, let alone gathering the minds of the people, it would be strange if everyone didn't turn into birds and beasts to scatter, or form a civil explosion, and dare to issue a letter of guilt, which would mean that Zhao Guo was completely finished.

"Why?" Zhao Fan said puzzled.

I don't understand why the same thing, more than ten years ago, Liu Zhuoya proposed that it was feasible, but today, he proposed it but could not implement it.

Zhao Mu said coldly: "The Yan army is coming, and the situation of Zhao has become extremely bad, at this time, the emperor has issued a letter of guilt, unless he is ready to abdicate?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fan was as soft as mud, sitting on the soft couch, his body was like a balloon that had been drained, and it instantly became wilted.

Unexpectedly, after more than ten days, the same thing produced different effects!

Abdication, this is absolutely impossible, even if he dies, he will die in the dragon chair, and no one can peep into his throne.

At this time, Zhao Fan's face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his head helplessly, and asked weakly: "Sixth Uncle, is there no other way?" ”

Zhao Mushang didn't have time to speak, the guards outside ran in, and after saluting Zhao Fan and Zhao Mu, he panted and said, "Your Majesty, the northern border is urgent!" “

Bang bang, bang bang,...

When Zhao Mu heard this, his inner mood couldn't help but jump wildly, and the northern border was in an emergency, judging from the current situation, it was definitely not a good thing.

"Say!" Zhao Fan's tone was solemn and he spit out a word.

The guards didn't dare to delay, and said bluntly: "The Northern Yan army has passed through the defense line and entered the vast area of Zhao State. “

A vast area? Zhao Mu asked urgently: "What is the place, let's be specific!" “

"This. This... In the letter sent back by the spies, such a description was not known to his subordinates. In the face of Zhao Mu's forced questioning, it was difficult for the spies to give the answers they wanted.

"Get out, get out, get out!" Zhao Fan roared.

The war in Qingyang County has not yet been seen, and there is bad news from the north, which is simply a house leak and even rain.

Continue, Zhao Fan only felt that he would be driven crazy!

In the chaos, Zhao Fan suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes were shining, and he asked Zhao Mu: "Sixth uncle, where are the children of the Bai family?" Gather them into the palace. “

More than ten days ago, the children of the Bai clan were wrapped in plain clothes, ready to live and die with the Zhao State, at this moment, when the crisis was lurking, it was time for the children of the Bai clan to serve the country.

"Your Majesty, the children of the Bai family led their retainers a few days ago and set off for the north, and at this time, they are probably on the way to the north." Zhao Mu responded.

Hearing this, Zhao Fan's expression showed a slight look of disappointment, and he shouted: "Quickly send a letter, inform the Bai clan disciples to go to Ningwu Pass and Zhenyuan Pass immediately, cooperate with Li Mu, and never let the Yan army advance half a step." “

"Sixth Uncle, you personally go to Qingyang County, gather the local villagers, quickly form a defense, and try to block the Lin Xiao Army!" Zhao Fan continued to command, looking at Zhao Mu's stunned expression, and said, "I will quickly order Feng Zixiu to end the war in Xinzhao, and strive to send Li Tiehu and Guo Mingxia to lead the army to support you." “

At the beginning, when Zhao was in turmoil, Guo Mingxia and Li Tiehu supported Zhao Fan to stand on his own feet in the south, if there were no these two generals, it would be difficult for Zhao Fan to ascend to the throne. “

Zhao Mu nodded hard, very helpless, and ordered him to go to Qingyang County, wouldn't he be looking for death?

At this time, the guards who had returned again entered the palace in a panic again, looking at Zhao Fan and not daring to speak.

Zhao Mu glanced at the guards, saw that the other party's body trembled slightly, and realized that there must be another disaster, so he couldn't help but take a slow breath, and tried to calm down and asked, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

The guard's face was purple, obviously extremely panicked, and he stammered: "Hundred, people, gather, gather outside the Handan Palace, and strongly ask to meet the emperor."

Not long ago, Zhao Fan happily received assistance from the people, and at that time, he was especially looking forward to the opportunity to communicate closely with the people again, so as to demonstrate the style of being kind to others.

However, at this moment, when he heard that the people were gathered under the Handan Palace, he had an urge to see the hell.

This time, the people of Handan City were afraid that they would not be kind to him, and when he went out, he was not torn into eight pieces by the people.

"Inform the palace gate guards, guard the palace gate, and never let the people approach, and at the same time, tell the people that the emperor is accidentally cold, and he can't travel today, two or three days, and when he recovers from his injuries, he will personally meet with the people in the square outside the palace, and tell everyone to be at ease." Zhao Mu said in shock, there is no way to solve it, only to delay time first.

When the guards heard this, they had to do it.

However, looking at the menacing appearance of the people outside, I am afraid that it will be difficult to eliminate the anger of the other party in a few words, so that the people will automatically disperse.

The guards left, and Zhao Mu also prepared to leave the main hall, preparing to leave the palace from the side gate and go to Qingyang County to defend against the Yan army.

Handan City is not safe, not long ago, the royal family just got the donation of food in the hands of the people, and it has not been calm for a few days, the Yan army is coming, and it is very likely to enter Handan City again.

According to the current distribution of Zhao troops, the people will definitely not see hope, if someone fanned the flames again and caused a civil explosion, as a member of the royal family, he may also encounter a threat to his life.

Therefore, it is better to leave Handan City quickly and go to Qingyang County to block the Yan army, which may not only protect itself, but also reduce the pressure on the court.

However, Zhao Mu was thinking at the same time, Zhao Fan was so incompetent and faint, and he continued to rule the Zhao Kingdom, and he saw more and more the potential of the Fallen King from the other party.

Continue, Zhao Fan has no way to deal with state affairs and military affairs, and Zhao Guo will be buried in his hands sooner or later.

As a member of the royal family of the Zhao State, Zhao Mu felt that he needed to do something to save the Zhao State, which was in danger of destroying the country.

Turned around and looked at his eyes helplessly, and there was no way, only the angry Zhao Fan, Zhao Mu bowed down and slowly pushed out of the hall, secretly sighing Zhao Fan asked for more blessings.
