After more than a month of trekking, the Chu army reached the city of Yecheng of Zhao.

The long march of the army was not suitable for immediate entry into the battle, and the order was made to camp in place on the weekend.

The army of Yecheng of Zhao State had already been on alert under the orders of King Zhao and was ready to deal with the imminent attack of Chu. The state of Chu did not move, and the generals of the state of Zhao shouted and cursed above the city.

"King Chuzhuang, since I am here, why don't I dare to fight? Hiding in the barracks as a shrunken turtle? Are you afraid of dying at my grandfather's hands? The soldiers defending the city of Zhao State scolded at the military camp of Chu State.

The military tent on the weekend was far away, and I couldn't hear their scolding, but when those generals heard them scolding their lord like this, they couldn't help but blow their beards and stare at them, and wanted to fight with Zhao Jun.

Three or five people couldn't sit still, so they came to the camp tent on the weekend to ask for battle.

"King, let's go to battle!"

"The king, the Zhao people dare to insult the king, please allow us to lead our troops out of the camp to fight with the generals of the Zhao State."

"King!"

"Zhao Guo is just quick to speak, what's the big deal." He destroyed the Jin Kingdom, and there are still few people who scold him. One by one, there are brave and unscrupulous.

"King!"

"If Zhao people like to scold, let them scold, you don't have to fight for a moment. When to send troops, I have my own opinions, and you wait to retreat. "Now the army is tired from a long journey, and it is not at all suitable for war. The two armies are fighting strongholds, and there are many cases of scolding like this.

On the weekend, I waited in the military tent for news from the New Year's pole. There are no energy cannons in this siege, and no system space can be used. He can still rely on his own ability to defeat Zhao Guo. With the previous deployment, he could get the most accurate information, and it was clear how many people there were in the defenders of Zhao State.

On the weekend, they insisted on not sending troops for the time being, and the generals had no choice but to retreat in disgrace.

Qin Qian opened the curtain at this time, and after saluting, he said: "Your lord, the general of Zhao State guarding the city this time is Zhao Xie. ”

"What is Zhao Xie's temperament?"

"Be cautious."

"How can you lead troops?"

"Okay."

can get Qin Qian's recognition, it can be seen that Zhao Xie does have two brushes.

"Looks like another tough bone to gnaw." Weekend frowned slightly. Yecheng can fight. But there is a capable general here, and if you want to take down this city, the Chu State will have to pay a lot of price.

King Qi is an idiot, but King Zhao still has some ability. And Zhao has many famous generals. First defeat the difficult Zhao State, and then it will be simple to solve the Qi State.

"There is a king, no matter how difficult the bones are gnawed, the Chu State will gnaw them."

"The order goes down, and the city will be attacked in three days." After three days of rest, the soldiers were almost rested.

In history, Li Mu, a famous general of Zhao State, did not let Qin State attack a step without the help of other countries, and even the Qin army. If King Zhao hadn't listened to the slander of his favored ministers and killed Li Mu, there would have been no Qin Shi Empress to unify the Central Plains.

Zhao Xie is only a small character, and although it will take some time to defeat him, it will only take a little longer. The most difficult thing for Zhao Guo to deal with was Wu Anjun and Li Kang. He is good at using soldiers, fighting against the Xiongnu for many years, has rich experience in leading troops, and is good at defending the city. With him, the advance of the Chu army will be blocked. "I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about Li Kang."

"Indeed, this man is a soldier like a god."

"If he defends the city at all odds, no matter how valiant our army is, it will be very difficult to take the city from him." This person is not greedy for money, not lustful, and his only drawback is that he is highly meritorious. "So, we'd better start with King Zhao and let him help us get rid of Li Kang."

Although the current King of Zhao is not biased and is a good monarch, he has not reached the level of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and is far from being so wise and wise. If he saw the ironclad evidence of Li Dang's rebellion, King Zhao would not keep him.

"Qin Qian, you let your people put some bamboo slips that he had dealings with us in Li Kang's house, and then let the people we bribed go and denounce Li Kang. At that time, no matter how shrewd King Zhao was, he would also believe that he had already colluded with the State of Chu. "As long as you make some marks that are unique to the Chu State in the bamboo slips, you can do it.

Qin Qian couldn't stop nodding. "In this way, the people at the pole only need to secretly put something in Li Kang's house."

"The denunciation must also be arranged, so that King Zhao will believe it."

"Wang, although the Nian Pole failed to buy Li Kang, he did buy a close associate general Zhao Shen beside him. Zhao Shen has followed him for ten years and has won his trust. If it was him who denounced Li Kang, King Zhao should believe it. ”

"Good!" The weekend was almost a good deal.

Three days later, the Chu army began a general offensive.

At the same time, the plan to deal with Li Kang also began to be implemented. First, Li Kang's confidant Zhao Shen's subordinates accused Li Kang of conspiring with the Chu State, and Yuan Yong, a favorite minister of King Zhao, came forward to bring Zhao Shen into the palace to meet King Zhao.

"You said that Li dared to conspire with the State of Chu and deliberately walked into the trap set by the State of Chu when the Chu army attacked? The Li family has been in my Zhao country for so many years, and they have been loyal and good for generations. Li Dang is even more loyal and brave, how could he betray the Zhao State and collude with the people of the Chu State. ”

Li Dang guarded the frontier for Zhao over the years, resisted the invasion of the Huns, and made great contributions, and the king of Zhao saw it in his eyes, with red mouth and white teeth, he really didn't believe that Li Kang would betray.

"My lord, what the last general said is true. When the last general entered Li Kang's house to see him, he was once seen secretly sending away a mysterious person. Li Dare acted really weird, so Gusu District followed to take a look. Who knew that the mysterious person was actually from the Chu State. ”

Yuan Yong interjected: "King, what he said is clear, it doesn't look like it's made up. ”

King Zhao glared at him. "There is no basis for your words, do you think that if you say a few words casually, the widow will believe it?"

Zhao Shen seemed to remember something. "When Li Dang met with the mysterious man, the minister saw that Li Dang had accepted a book."

"King, just search Li Kang's house, can't you be sure? At this time, it was the time of the war with the Chu State, and if the king wanted to reuse Li Kang, he must first investigate this matter. Otherwise, in case he was really bought by the Chu State. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Zhao State were handed over to him, wouldn't it have made him. ”

King Zhao closed his eyes.

"Pass on the widow's order, search Li Kang's mansion, and check every corner for me."

The corners of Zhao Shen's mouth hooked a strange arc.

An hour passed, and the Imperial Forest Army, who had been ordered to search Li Kang's mansion, returned to the palace to resume his life.

The Guards held a locket of red sandalwood in their hands. "Great King, this is what the last general found from Li Kang's mansion."

"Bring it up."

The attendant beside King Zhao took the red sandalwood locket and took it to the table in front of King Zhao. King Zhao opened the red sandalwood locket and saw that it was a bamboo slip inside.

The bamboo slips are stamped with the seal of the king of Chu. It said "Acceptance Certificate", and when it was opened, it said that Li Kang would be named Shangqing, and if the Chu army entered Handan, the capital of Zhao State, it would not be difficult for Li Kang.
