Smoke rose from the low hills, and the raging fire engulfed all the soldiers of the left army around them like primeval beasts, and the flames rose to the sky, and the towering ancient trees fell down with the fire one by one, stopping all the soldiers who had fled.

Except for Ge Xiang, the commander of the Second Division, none of the soldiers of the Left Army who launched the attack this time ran away.

The thick black smoke went straight into the sky, but Zhao Fan didn't care about this, he just drove the war horse and chased towards Ge Xiang in front, at this moment, his heart was also secretly sighing at the impermanence of the world, Shicai himself was still the one who escaped, and in the blink of an eye, his identity was immediately reversed.

Zhao Fan didn't have time to care about these, even if there was a miserable howl in the distance, Zhao Fan still went all the way forward, seeing that Ge Xiang was about to run into Yuehua Village, if he hid in a courtyard or corner of the village at that time, it would not be good.

Immediately, Zhao Fan was also chasing bravely, but at this moment, Xu Ying suddenly roared, took out a small halberd from his waist, and stabbed at Ge Xiang fiercely, the sound of breaking the air sounded almost instantly, and the sharp whistling sound rolled up a piece of air and stabbed straight away.

"Peng!"

To Zhao Fan's surprise, the little halberd actually hit Ge Xiang's throat accurately, until the end, the former didn't understand why Zhao Fan was prepared, he was unwilling to die like this in his heart, but after such a deadly attack, if he wanted to live, it was simply a fantasy.

Seeing Ge Xiao hit the halberd, turning over and falling off the horse, Zhao Fan was also faintly excited in his heart, he didn't expect Xu Ying's halberd technique to be so good, he could easily hit the target at such a distance, and immediately admired him even more in his heart.

"Leave a few people to bury him on the spot, and the others will smash the lair of the Second Division of the Left Army for me!" Ge Xiang was dead, and Zhao Fan did not hesitate to think of going to the former's lair and annexing the rest of his soldiers to his sixth division.

Immediately, Zhao Fan gave an order, and immediately left a few soldiers, but he himself had already galloped towards the southeast, more than a thousand horses, stepping on the sound of heavy horses' hooves, galloping on the wild land.

In the past few days, Zhao Fan has already found out the details of Ge Xiang, and knows that the place where their second division is stationed is also next to a village, but they are not very friendly to ordinary residents, so these civilians do not support Li Dui from the bottom of their hearts.

He originally had no intention of touching Ge Xiang, but the former actually came to the door, so he naturally couldn't snub the guests, and went to visit the other party's humble house to show respect.

In the distance is a thriving pasture, the terrain here is much better than the plains near Yuehua Village, although it is winter, but it can still be expected that in spring and summer, the water and grass are abundant and the land is fertile.

To the south of the ranch is a village, which is similar in layout and buildings to Yuehua Village, but with a slightly larger population.

It turned out that Ge Xiang swaggered into Yuehua Village and wanted to arrest him Zhao Fan, so he naturally would not hide his head and tail, and directly killed the station of Ge Xiang and other second divisions, although there were more than 1,000 people left here, however, there was no need for Zhao Fan to say too much, he only needed to order Xu Ying to lead people to surround the village, and then throw Ge Xiang's head in front of these soldiers of the left army, and they knew what to do.

Zhao ...... Master Zhao, no matter what grievances Ge Xiang has with you, but we are just a group of small soldiers, you ...... Just let us go, we're willing to serve you! "The commander is dead, and the soldiers know very well what they should do, and even those who know what to do hurriedly say it.

Zhao Fan smiled slightly, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad on his face, this is a person who walks to tea and cool, although Ge Xiang is a division commander, but no one will do anything for a dead division commander, when these soldiers mention him again, even the honorific title of division commander has been omitted.

Although there are some feelings in his heart, Zhao Fan will not feel worthless for Ge Xiang, this world is already respected by the strong, and if you become a king or lose, if you fail, you must have the consciousness of bearing failure.

Zhao Fan was very satisfied with the reaction of these soldiers, and he was naturally very happy to be able to subdue these soldiers without blood, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Everyone is right, since you are unwilling to join the Right Army, then I won't say anything more, no matter what happens in the future, I only hope that you can contribute to the Right Army in the right army." ”

He naturally didn't expect these people to die for him in the future, Zhao Fan only hoped that during this time, these soldiers could join the Sixth Division and improve the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division.

At this moment, the battle on the hillside had already ended, and the more than 1,000 soldiers led by Ge Xiang, except for hundreds of people who were swallowed by the sea of fire, the rest of them were captured by Gongsun Long and others, and they were immediately pleasantly surprised when they saw that Zhao Fan had brought back more than 1,000 people without spending a single soldier.

They didn't expect Zhao Fan to be so powerful, not only commanded Ruoding, but also notified everyone to set up an ambush, killed Ge Xiang, captured the second division of the Left Army, and brought back so many prisoners without bloodshed, and suddenly looked at Zhao Fan in surprise.

Zhao Fan waved his hand, he didn't think it was a big deal, and immediately he nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Left Army were placed into the existing 2,000 teams, in order to prevent them from rebelling together, so Zhao Fan disrupted them and supervised them separately.

By daybreak, the hillside, within a radius of ten miles, had been scorched, and the flames were still continuing, but they had weakened considerably. Zhao Fan skillfully set up an ambush and defeated Ge Xiang, which has been blocked.

Before launching an action against Li Dui, Zhao Fan naturally would not let people announce these appalling things.

Poor Wei Biao and Li Dui, they may not find out in the next few days that they were eaten by a hairy boy like this, and they also absorbed the soldiers in the team into the ranks of their right army.

If they were the two of them, they were afraid that they would be so angry that they would immediately send troops to attack Zhao Fan and others.

On the slopes and puddles, the corpses were piled up and the blood was pouring down, which showed the brutality of last night's fighting. After all, it was a soldier of Zhao State, and Zhao Fan couldn't let them be in the wilderness, so he immediately ordered the soldiers of the Sixth Division to bury these dead soldiers of the Left Army on the spot.

After dawn, Zhao Fan took the more than 1,000 soldiers recruited and the more than 1,000 Yunzhong City soldiers brought by Wang Zhilinhu, and after arranging these captured soldiers of the Left Army, he hurriedly found Gongsun Long alone.

Last night, he got the news from Ge Xiang that Li Cheng was carrying out a major blood change in the court of Zhao State, and Zhao Fan knew that Li Du was making final preparations for the rebellion this time, and it was also for the sake of justification, so he had to get the support of these ministers.

Therefore, Zhao Fan wanted to discuss with Gongsun Long at the moment, and if he didn't go back, he always felt uneasy. Now Handan City has become a place of right and wrong, especially for those ministers, once they stand on the wrong side, for them, the future is bleak.

From this, Zhao Fan can imagine how much mental pressure King Huiwen is under now.

Gongsun Long stayed awake all night, just arranged everything and was about to rest for a while, but when he saw Zhao Fan walking in, he immediately had to sigh helplessly, and said with a smile: "Zhao Shishuai disrupted the battle last night, isn't he tired?" ”

Of course, this is just a joke, after this period of getting along, everyone has long been familiar with it, and they are talking a lot more casually, although Gongsun Long said this, he had already turned sideways and invited Zhao Fan in.

Gongsun Long's small courtyard is adjacent to Zhao Fan, which is where ordinary villagers live, so there are no maids and slaves, when they come into the house, Gongsun Long personally fetched wine for Zhao Fan, and after it was full, he said, "What's the matter with the master?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fan also frowned, and said Ge Xiang's words last night without any trace.

After listening to him, Gongsun Long was also a little discolored, he didn't expect Wang Neishi to be killed by Li Dui in public, immediately, he was also a little trembling with anger, when had he ever seen such a thing that regarded the court as a child's play and the king as air, he immediately changed color, and said: "Li Dui, this brute, is so arrogant!" ”

Speaking of this, Gongsun Long was also so angry that he couldn't speak.

Although Zhao Fan also felt something in his heart, but he was not as deep as Gongsun Long's side, he was now only responsible for the completeness of King Huiwen, and immediately said: "Mr. Gongsun, I want to go back to Handan first, find the king to understand the specific situation, and discuss what to do next, you will take everyone to train and recruit troops in Yuehua Village." ”

Although Gongsun Long was annoyed by Li Dui's behavior, he was far from losing his mind, and immediately nodded and said, "Well, then you should be careful all the way, I estimate that General Lian should be able to get to Handan Road in the past two days, and I will pick up General Lian near here when the time comes." ”

Lian Po's army is a strange soldier, and Li Dui doesn't know that the war in Jinyang has ended, so he thinks that Lian Po is still resisting the Qin army in Jinyang, and he can take advantage of this to catch Li Dui off guard at that time.

This Zhao Fan naturally knows, so this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential.

After discussing the matter with Gongsun Long, Zhao Fan didn't care about resting, and immediately stepped on the war horse, only bringing Xu Ying and Xu Xiong, and galloped all the way towards Handan City.

At the same time, the Prime Minister's Office.

It was already early in the morning, and when the morning was empty, a hazy morning light illuminated the bluestone street of Handan City with a pale golden color. The high walls on both sides are long, the shadows of the trees are slanted, and the faint snow chips are scattered in the courtyard.

The fire was burning in the hall, sweeping away all the cold air in the cold winter morning, and after returning from the palace for a court meeting, Li Dui gathered Wei Biao and other confidants to discuss things in the Xiangguo Mansion.

"Today's court meeting, Zhao He's performance is not bad, it seems that Liwei last time did have a great effect." Li Dui laughed loudly, and there was a lot more arrogance in his eyebrows than some time ago.

Although it is in private, the person who dares to call the name of King Zhao is the only one in Zhao State, and it can be seen how much Li Dui's ambition has swelled.

Today, he elected one of his henchmen to serve as the king of the history who was killed by him in public a few days ago, and King Zhao agreed without any opposition and displeasure, which made his heart even more complacent.

You must know that before this, although he also held great power, King Zhao sometimes did not listen to all his advice.

At this time, Wei Biao also nodded and asked: "Lord Xiangguo, I think we have almost done our preparations, why are we not ready to act, if we wait for Lian Po to come back, it will be a lot of trouble." ”

Hearing this, Li Dui's eyes also flickered slightly, and he was silent, in fact, he didn't know that now was the best time to launch the plan, but he found that his heart was not ruthless, after all, at this time, the concept of monarchs and ministers still had some influence on him.

However, this impact is also extremely limited, he can do so many disrespectful things during this time, and he naturally has already made a decision in his heart, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "General Wei is right, during this time, we have replaced all the ministers who support King Zhao from the court to the court, and the old man also feels that the time is almost up." In this way, in these two days, you will gather all the soldiers inside and outside Handan City, and after two days, start planning. ”

For so long, Li Dui has been preparing the plans one by one, and today, he is almost ready, as long as all the soldiers are gathered, with the cowardice of King Huiwen, it will be effortless when the time comes, and great things can be done.

Hearing him make up his mind, Wei Biao and the others were also a little excited, everyone has the right and ambition, the reason why they follow Li Dui, even if it is because the former has great power, and it is not to go further.

You must know that they are all the people with the highest official positions in the court, and it is very difficult to go further, but if Zhao Guo changes hands, it will not be necessarily, so these people will support Li Dui with all their hearts.

After Li Dui made a decision, a complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart, like sadness and joy, but he quickly reacted, shook his head immediately, and swept away all these emotions in his heart.

Immediately, the crowd was also deliberating on a specific plan and how to act, until noon.

At this time, Zhao Fan and Xu Ying and Xu Xiong also came to Handan City as fast horses, and the streets were still full of traffic, no different from usual, no matter how the situation in the court changed, it would not affect these ordinary residents.

The change of rulers is even more slanderous, and these ordinary people naturally have no intention of taking care of it.

After entering Handan City, Zhao Fan first went to the three sword halls he opened and took a turn, only to see that there were people surging inside, and the apprentices of a sword hall had reached three or four hundred, which added a lot of strength.

Zhao Fan saw that it was in order, so he didn't stay any longer, rode a fast horse, and went to the Plains Junfu first.

The steward in the mansion was also surprised when he saw Zhao Fan returning, and immediately went in to report, and after a while, Zhao Sheng took Su Qin and others to the outside of the mansion to greet him, Zhao Fan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”

The faces of Zhao Sheng and the others were not good-looking, Zhao Fan saw at a glance what should have happened, and immediately asked anxiously.

Su Qin frowned slightly, and said, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

After coming to the hall and sitting down on the ground, Zhao Sheng also said with an ugly face: "Zhao Shishuai is finally back, Li Dui has become more and more presumptuous in Handan City during this time, and has killed many ministers, Brother Wang is troubled by this matter, and has even lost confidence, let's go to the palace to see Brother Wang tonight." ”

Indeed, the ministers who supported King Zhao were either dismissed or killed behind their backs, although Handan City was calm on the surface, but above the court, in fact, the wind and clouds were surging, and the atmosphere of panic and tension was suppressed in the hearts of every minister.

Even Wang Xian, a general who has always maintained neutrality, even said that he was sick and did not go to court.

The entire palace has almost been controlled by Li Dui, and it is no wonder that King Huiwen is so anxious, his courage is not as good as that of his father King Wuling, after so many things, although he is still wise and intelligent, but his courage is insufficient.

Just as when the meeting of the pond, the king of Qin invited the king of Zhao to meet with the pond, at that time the state of Zhao was strong, but because the king of Qin had a precedent of detaining the king of Chu Huai, so the king of Zhao was afraid and a little afraid to go, and finally after being persuaded by Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, he went tremblingly.

This is the same as when the original King Wuling succeeded to the throne at the age of fifteen, King Wei Hui took the name of burying his grandfather Zhao Suhou, united the four kingdoms of Chu, Qin, Yan, and Qi, and sent elite soldiers to take advantage of the young age of the new monarch of Zhao to plot Zhao.

For the fifteen-year-old Zhao Wuling King, his father's funeral was really dangerous, and if he didn't do it, Zhao Guo would be destroyed by the Five Nations Alliance. With the help of Zhao Suhou's Tuogu and heavy minister Feiyi, King Wuling of Zhao decided to take tough countermeasures such as-for-tat and death, and set up a decisive battle to meet these ill-intentioned condolence messengers.

King Wuling of Zhao ordered the entire territory of Zhao to be under martial law, and the Zhao army of Daijun, Taiyuan County, Shangdang County and Handan was on first-class alert, ready to fight at any time. Uniting Korea and Song, two countries located between Qin, Wei, Chu, and Qi, the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han, and Song formed a character structure, putting the four states of Qin, Wei, Chu, and Qi in a passive situation of being attacked on two sides or on three sides. He also bribed the king of Yue Wujiang to attack Chu, and first shifted the attention of Chu State, which was not in line with Zhao, to its old rival Yue State.

Heavy bribes to annoy Wang Zhenyan and Zhongshan. Yan Guo is the weaker of the five kingdoms, under the strong attack of Lou Fu, Yan Yi Wang is more nervous, very worried that Zhao Guo and Lou Fu will attack Yan Guo. Although Zhongshan was not a first-class power, because it was wedged into the territory of Zhao, it was often instructed by Qi to attack Handan, the capital of Zhao, from behind, and posed a greater threat to Zhao than strong external enemies. Under the attack of Lou Fu, Zhongshan had no time to take care of the robbery of Zhao State. After removing the two strong enemies of Yan and Chu, the Wei, Qin, and Qi groups had no advantage over the Zhao, Han, and Song groups.

King Wuling of Zhao ordered the five [***] teams who came to the funeral not to enter the border of Zhao, and only allowed the envoys of the five countries to bring the condolences of the kings of each country into the country, and the minister in charge of receiving them from Zhao sent them directly to Handan. Wei, Qin, and Qi saw that Zhao was heavily armed and heavily guarded, and that the alliance of Zhao, Han, and Song had been formed, so they had to dispel the idea of taking advantage of Zhao.

After the envoys of the five countries entered Zhao, they saw that the elite of Zhao gathered in Handan, and the war was about to break out, so they did not dare to make any mistakes, and left in a hurry after burying Zhao Suhou with King Wuling of Zhao. The conspiracy of the Five Kingdoms Tu Zhao initiated by King Wei Hui was thwarted by King Wuling of Zhao. The young King Zhao Wuling withstood such a severe test when he first set foot on the throne.

King Huiwen and King Wuling present a stark contrast.

Everyone's courage is different, this is the same as the dragon giving birth to nine sons, so Zhao Fan naturally won't say anything, after all, King Huiwen is his royal brother, and he just wants to solve Li Dui's matter as soon as possible.

Immediately, Zhao Sheng told Zhao Fan in detail what happened in the Zhao Dynasty during this time, the more he listened, the more shocked he became, Li Dui was so bold now, and the bad feeling in Zhao Fan's heart became stronger and stronger.

Li Dui has done so many things, there is no doubt that his rebellion plan is about to be launched, and it is only now that Zhao Fan feels that time is pressing, they can't delay it any longer, and they must complete everything as soon as possible within these two days. (To be continued.) )
