The performance of the false story is contrived, and it is easy to see through at a glance.

However, whether it is the Han army rushing to Handan, or the Zhao State has no troops available, these are all true. Zhao Guo has indeed reached a critical moment.

Zhao Shu's performance of seven points of truth and three points of falsehood made King Zhao anxious.

And in order to show his loyalty, Zhao Shu was not verbose, and after leaving the palace, he went directly to the post house where Xia Huan was.

However, on the first day, Xia Huan rejected Zhao Shu on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Zhao Shu waited at the door of the post house all day, but he didn't see Xia Huan come out.

There was no way, after dark, Zhao Shu could only return home.

The next day, when Zhao Shu came to the door of Xia Huan's post house early again, he was told that Xia Huan had already left the city and went to the barracks, saying that he would not be able to come back until night

So, Zhao Shu waited until the evening. However, at night, the city gates were closed, and Xia Huan's frame was never seen back.

On the third day, it was the same.

At this time, the Han army was only two hundred miles away from Handan. Although it is raining lightly now, I think it will take a few days to reach the city of Handan.

This news can be said to have completely sandwiched King Zhao on the oil pot. Even, several times I wanted to escape to the country of Qi.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, and I also asked the king to allow the Sanchuan army to enter the city and set up camp." Finally on the fourth day, Zhao Shu, who was "helpless", came to King Zhao and said with a disgraced face.

"What Aiqing said is true!" King Zhao seemed to have come back to his senses, and hurriedly made an order.

So, at noon on the fourth day, Zhao Shu successfully met Xia Huan.

"Zhao Xiangguo, Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time." At the door of the post house, Sun Qian, who was the emperor, said to Zhao Shu ruthlessly.

"Yes, yes, let His Highness wait for a long time." Zhao Shu bent down slightly and said with a smile.

"Please come in." After Sun Qian finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Shu to go in first, but turned around and left.

Zhao Shu followed Sun Qian, and finally met Xia Huan in a side room in the post house.

"In the past few days, it has been hard for Lord Xiangguo." Xia Huan said with a smile as he handed a small cup of this year's new tea to Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu respectfully took the cup, and said with the same smile: "Everything is for the sake of Zhao Guo." ”

"Well, everything is for the sake of Zhao Guo!" When Xia Huan heard this, he laughed and laughed.

"Zhao Shu replaced wine with tea, first saluted His Royal Highness King Zhou, and saved Zhao's feelings."

"Then, this king also wants to pay tribute to the adults who have thought about it!"

After speaking, both of them drank the tea in their cups.

"Well, the entrance is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is endless, the tea of Chu State is really not something that Zhao Guo can grow."

"If Lord Xiangguo likes it, when can't you drink the tea of my Chu Kingdom in the future?"

"What Your Highness said is very true."

As I said before, a lie should be seven parts true and three points false.

With Zhao Shu's age of knowing the destiny of heaven, waiting at the door of the post house for three days, I'm afraid no one will believe that Zhao Shu is not really for Zhao Guo.

And Xia Huan didn't see him for three days in a row, and it seemed that Zhao Guo didn't let his soldiers enter the city before the burden.

Everything, how harmonious it looks.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Shu suddenly asked Xia Huan: "Having said that, Your Highness can know when the reinforcements of the Chu State will arrive in the Zhao State." ”

"Xiangguo rest assured, this king has already reported this matter to his father three days ago."

Zhao Shu hesitated slightly, and then asked, "Then how long will it take to wait for the arrival of the army of the Chu State?" ”

Xia Huan's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and said with a smile: "Recently, I'm afraid it will take nearly half a month." ”

"Half a month......" Zhao Shu frowned, as if he was worried about something.

"Xiangguo rest assured, it took more than a month for the Han army to take a small Kan Yu. Handan City is tall and thick, but it is not comparable, no matter how you say that it is no problem to keep it for a month. ”

Zhao Shu nodded a little embarrassedly, and then said with a smile: "At that time, the divine soldiers of the Chu army will descend from the sky, and I will ask His Highness to say good words to help my Zhao State defeat Li Guang's army and regain the lost territory!" ”

"That's nature!" Xia Huan assured without hesitation.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Lord Xiangguo is polite......"

After asking the most worrying questions, Zhao Shu seemed to have let go of the last heavy stone in his heart, and drank tea and chatted with Xia Huan with peace of mind, and did not leave until night.

Of course, Zhao Shu's behavior, in the eyes of outsiders, is not a leisurely tea chat, but a bitter rumor that King Zhou sent troops.

Therefore, when Zhao Shu came out, he went straight to the palace and told King Zhao with some bitterness, "Fortunately, I am not dishonored."

King Zhao was also overjoyed when he learned that Chu Guoken had sent troops. At the same time, he felt that Zhao Shu was the pillar of the country, and even if he was rewarded with some property.

However, when Zhao Shu left, Xia Huan called Sun Qian again.

"What does Your Highness command?"

"This king wants you to go back to Shoudu in person." Xia Huan took out a piece of letterhead and handed it to Sun Qian.

"Whoa!" Sun Qian didn't ask why, took the letterhead and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Before Sun Qian could turn around, Xia Huan handed him another letter.

"Take this book back with you."

Sun Qian glanced at Xia Huan in a little surprise, and then took the letterhead.

After Sun Qian left, Xia Huan's face crossed a smile again.

That's right, the previous letter was Xia Huan's letter to Shoudu.

No matter what Zhao Shu says, he is also a person who has been in the court for 20 years again. even went behind King Zhao's back and had a secret conversation with him. Xia Huan would not trust such a person.

Moreover, like the series of promises made to Zhao Shu before, Xia Huan actually didn't write on that letterhead at all.

In particular, Xia Huan's promise to help Zhao defeat Li Guangjun's army and recover the lost territory is just a flash in the pan.

Who is Li Guang, the main force he led is the elite soldiers of Jiuyuan, so that the army that Chu has painstakingly cultivated to recover the lost territory for Zhao State, just for a little fame, Xia Huan is not so stupid.

Moreover, Xia Huan also hoped that after the defeat of the Zhao army, the Han army would be able to engage the Qi army head-to-head to consume the military strength of the two countries.

No matter what the reason, it is impossible for the Chu State to go to Daijun, at most, it will help the Zhao State to lead the troubles to the east and prevent the Han army from entering the rest of the Zhao State.

Sun Qian is worthy of being a person who can be favored by Xia Huan, even if the city gate is closed, he can quietly climb out of the city.

We trotted all the way to a small village outside the city, where several palace guards were already waiting.

"Go straight to Shoudu!" Sun Qian ordered.

"Whoa!"

Taking advantage of the night, the ten palace guards changed into ordinary people's clothes and headed all the way to the south.
