In the end, Tian Wen didn't know what method he used to persuade Chen Qi, and after leaving 20,000 Qi troops to hold on, he took the rest of the people and set off towards Daijun of Zhao State.

However, these are no longer Xia Huan's business.

Since Kan Yu's retreat, the morale of the whole army has not been high. After all, almost more than a third of the newly formed Sanchuan Army remained there.

"Your Highness, a hundred miles further east will be Handan."

As the commander of the Zhao army, Li Yan rode on a horse, slightly half a body behind Xia Huan.

That's right, after Kan Yu retreated, Xia Huan didn't think about returning to Sanchuan. Instead, he followed Li Yan and went to Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

In the battle of Kan Yu, although Xia Huan fought against the elite of the Han army with a new army for more than a month, he also killed and injured many people. However, in the end, it was defeated.

Just returned to Sanchuan like this, and could only be regarded as barely completing the task given by Emperor Chu. Perhaps, under the operation of the crown prince, he will get a lot of rewards, but for the prestige of Xia Huan himself, it is useless.

The Sanchuan Army has paid so much manpower and financial resources, and Xia Huan has personally supervised the army, not so much for a reward.

"General Li's direction, King Zhao's place, this king will personally talk to him." Xia Huan had a gentle smile on his face and comforted Li Yandao.

Although Li Yan was persuaded by Xia Huan to evacuate Kan Yu, not long after leaving, his heart became uneasy again.

This kind of abandonment of the city and fleeing can be described as a big stain.

Even if King Zhao wanted to kill him, there was nothing to say.

After thinking about it, Li Yan felt that only Xia Huan could help him get rid of future troubles forever.

As long as Xia Huan insisted on evacuating Kan and his opinion, then presumably King Zhao and the courtiers had nothing to say.

As for Li Yan's thoughts, Xia Huan could also see it early on.

When Li Yan first found Xia Huan, he pushed the boat along the river and offered to go to Handan with Li Yan to excuse him.

Li Yan, who thought that he couldn't ask for it, was naturally overjoyed when he heard it, and agreed again and again.

However, when the remnants of the 30,000 troops had marched less than thirty miles, a man claiming to be an envoy of the king of Zhao stopped the army.

"Minister, Zhao Yu, meet His Royal Highness King Zhou, Dingyang." The man named Zhao Yu saluted Xia Huan and Li Yan.

Xia Huan glanced at Li Yan, and Li Yan nodded slightly in response.

"Lord Zhao came in a hurry, why did he come?"

"On the orders of King Zhao, please invite King Zhou to Handan."

"Then, thank you King Zhao for your kindness." Xia Huan nodded after hearing this, but the person named Zhao Yu still lowered his head and stopped in front of Xia Huan.

"Huh? Anything else? ”

"King Zhao knows the army of King Zhou, and in order to help my Zhao State, he has been fighting the Han army for a long time. Therefore, thirty miles outside Handan City, he arranged for the army of His Royal Highness to be rewarded with wine and food. ”

"Presumptuous!" Before Xia Huan could speak, Yu Meng behind him slapped his mount, walked in front of Zhao Yu, and scolded: "In order to help your Zhao State, our army has suffered heavy losses, and you don't even let us enter the city!" ”

I have to say that Yu Meng is rugged and wears scarred armor, not only is he not decadent, but he is full of murderous intent, which is intimidating.

"Don't dare! Can't! Zhao Yu was obviously a person who had never seen a big battle, and when he was scolded by Yu Meng like this, he retreated again and again, and at the same time waved his hand and snored.

"Yu Meng, stand down. Lord Zhao is just acting on orders, why do you have to do this? ”

"Whoa!"

Yu Meng arched his hand at Xia Huan, and then waited fiercely for Zhao Yu before turning the horse's head and returning to Xia Huan's back.

"Frightened Lord Zhao." Xia Huan turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Zhao Yu with a smile, and apologized: "When we are waiting for a battle with the Han army, it is when people's hearts are fluctuating, and I hope that Lord Zhao will not be surprised." ”

Zhao Yu, who was shocked and felt a little embarrassed before, saw Xia Huan's attitude so good, and said with some flattery: "The foreign minister understands, the foreign minister understands." ”

"Since Lord Zhao is on the orders of King Zhao, the guest is as the master pleases, and we will not embarrass the lord." After Xia Huan finished speaking, he turned back to Yu Meng and said, "Take the army and go to accept the reward!" ”

Yu moved his lips violently, as if he wanted to say something, but finally responded respectfully: "Oh! ”

Seeing that Yu Meng couldn't say anything, Zhao Yu, who had been scolded by Yu Meng before, suddenly felt a lot better.

Naturally, he was also greatly moved by Xia Huan's gentle style.

"His Royal Highness is benevolent and righteous, and he is admired by the foreign ministers!"

"However, Lord Zhao, having said that, I am the king of Zhou, and I should be the same as the king of Zhao, so I can't have no honor guard."

When Zhao Yu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Of course." ”

"In that case, how about this king not embarrass the adults and only bring two hundred horsemen?"

"Your Highness is benevolent!"

Zhao Yu nodded again and again, and he was even more grateful to Xia Huan for being so understanding.

"Then let's ask Lord Zhao to lead the way."

"Whoa."

Although Zhao Yu was said to be an envoy sent by King Zhao, he actually had no identity and status.

After all, like this kind of offending work, capable people naturally hide as far as they can.

Xia Huan and Yu Meng had a white face and a red face, and they cooperated with each other, which raised Zhao Yu's gratitude to Xia Huan.

Therefore, when Xia Huan walked with him and even talked affectionately, Zhao Yu said almost everything, and he couldn't say enough.

Soon, Xia Huan inquired from Zhao Yu to understand why King Zhao or the Zhao Dynasty were so wary of him.

Since Yan attacked Zhao, everyone can see the decline of Qi State, although King Zhao especially misses the grace of Qi back then, but it is impossible to say that he is loyal to Qi State.

Chu is naturally happy to be able to help Zhao resist the Han State King Zhao, but in the eyes of King Zhao, Chu State, like Han State, is a wolf with ambition.

I don't know when, I will think about annexing Zhao State.

Especially in the court, during the battle of Qi and Chu, Zhao Shu, the prime minister of Zhao State, who strongly advocated supporting Qi and joining forces to attack Chu, was even more worried that Chu would find him to settle accounts after the autumn.

Although Zhao Shu's surname is Zhao, his relationship with Zhao Guo is really not big.

The reason why he was able to become the Xiangguo of this Zhao State back then was not because of how outstanding his talent was or how high his reputation was, but because of Emperor Qi's trust in him back then.

It can be said that Zhao Shu, the prime minister of Zhao State, is the eyeliner of Qi State in the court of Zhao State.

Therefore, when Xia Huan was coming, he was the most opposed.

After figuring out the key, Xia Huan couldn't help but start thinking about how to deal with this Zhao Xiangguo.

"Where is Zhao Xiangguo's family?"

"It's in Handan."

"But there are still clansmen?"

"Shhh...... I've never heard of it. Even if there is, it should have been out of five suits, so it's not a close relative. ”

"That's fine......" Xia Huan slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and muttered softly.
