"Let's go." When Zhao Fan saw him walking away, he also smiled slightly, and said to Xu Jia beside him.

At this moment, he was also a little nervous in his heart, he didn't expect to come to Handan, not only saw Lian Po, one of the four famous generals of the Warring States, but also saw the generation of Zhao Guo's famous Lin Xiangru, of course, at this time, Lin Xiangru is not comparable to Lian Po, the former is already a general, and he is just a humble guest.

The two walked into this small courtyard, the yard was extremely simple, and some flowers and trees were planted everywhere, which looked quite elegant and made people feel comfortable.

"Who?"

Only when they entered the courtyard, an elegant but implied strong voice came, and they saw a man nearly eight feet tall, wearing simple clothes, slowly walking towards them, this person looked less than forty years old, thin, straight, with a flowing green beard under his chin, not only did not look like the weakness of the literati, but gave people a feeling of looking up to the mountains.

"Uncle."

When Xu Jia saw this person, he was immediately stunned, and then a touch of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward and shouted loudly.

Zhao Fan looked at the former and stepped forward, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was obvious that this man in plain clothes was Lin Xiangru, and he really deserved to be a generation of famous appearances, although he was elegant but not stiff, giving people a feeling of hard appearance.

"You are?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiangru was also stunned, he was a little distracted for a moment, his eyes rolled, and he said tentatively: "Are you Jia'er?" ”

"Yes, uncle, I'm Xu Jia, father Xu Qing." Xu Jia approached Lin Xiangru and fell to the ground. When he was young, his mother died, and now his father has passed away, and he has no relatives at home.

After listening to him, Lin Xiangru trembled, he looked at Xu Jia carefully, and saw that he was indeed the son of his old friend, and immediately became very excited, and said: "Jia'er, I didn't expect to see you, I have already received the news of your father's death a few months ago, and I know that your father and son depend on each other, so I asked someone to find you, hoping to take you over." I didn't expect to hear that you went to Cloudsdale City, and also entered the military camp, I know that you have been talented since you were a child, and you have great ambitions, and you may be able to break out of your world when you enter the military camp, so I didn't ask someone to look for you again, I didn't expect you to come to Handan this time, which really makes me happy. ”

Xu Jia was also very excited at the moment, he settled down and introduced: "By the way, uncle, this is Zhao Fan, I went to Cloud City with them at the beginning, and I came to Handan this time because I was entrusted by Li Feng to visit General Lian." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xiangru also turned his gaze to Zhao Fan, he saw that the former was handsome, and his eyes were extremely clear, so he immediately had a good impression, and saluted: "It's really troublesome little general, Xu Jia has caused you a lot of trouble, I'm really embarrassed to be an uncle." ”

Although Lin Xiangru lived under Miao Xian, whether it was a major event in the DPRK or a war outside the DPRK, he had heard of it, and Zhao Fan was extremely hot in the military camp in Handan during this time, and Lin Xiangru had also heard about Zhao Fan.

He was just a guest under the eunuch, but Zhao Fan was a brigade commander, so it was not surprising that Lin Xiangru saluted Zhao Fan.

"I can't help it, my uncle is polite, although Xu Jia and I have a relationship between superiors and subordinates in the army, but in private we are friends and brothers. You are Xu Jia's uncle, naturally my Zhao Fan's uncle, and this gift is really killing me. Zhao Fan hurriedly picked up the former and said hurriedly.

Lin Xiangru's talent, he admires him very much, and the former is an elder, if Lin Xiangru wants to salute him, Zhao Fan naturally feels a little panicked in his heart.

"Hehe, the little general is polite, I've been standing for so long, let's go in and sit." Seeing this, Lin Xiangru also stroked his beard, smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and took Zhao Fan and Xu Jia to approach the living room.

In the whole courtyard, except for a few simple wooden houses and a front yard, there is nothing else, and as for the slaves, there is no one, only Lin Xiangru here. It stands to reason that since Lin Xiangru is valued by Miao Xian, then his living conditions are not so simple.

"Hehe, Master Miao originally wanted me to move out of here and find a larger yard to live with me, but I like to be quiet, and the environment here is good, so I have been living here."

Lin Xiangru seemed to see Zhao Fan's doubts, and immediately explained: "Here, compared to other places where ordinary guests live, it is still much better. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Fan also smiled embarrassedly, he didn't expect that he just thought about it casually, and he was also seen by Lin Xiangru what he was thinking, no wonder when the former handed over He's Bi to King Qin in the future, he could see at a glance that King Qin had no intention of exchanging fifteen cities for He's Bi.

Strictly speaking, this living room may not be called a living room, the size of more than ten square meters, a few cases on one side, and a bamboo mat, this is the so-called living room of Lin Xiangru.

The three of them sat on the couch, drinking wine and chatting at the same time, Xu Jia and Lin Xiangru hadn't seen each other for a long time, and naturally there were a lot of words, and Lin Xiangru had a very good impression of Zhao Fan, so the three of them chatted quite happily.

Xu Jia told Lin Xiangru all about the city in the clouds, and the Qin army attacked Zhao State, and Lian Po did not say that he would lead the army to the battle, and he also said it without reservation.

After chatting with Lin Xiangru for so long, Zhao Fan also admires the former very much, although he is only a guest under Miao Xian now, but a person who can leave a name in history, his talent is naturally undoubted, just a simple sentence, but it contains a wealth of ideas and an incisive analysis of things.

Zhao Fan felt that he had benefited a lot, and from the meaning of Lin Xiangru's words, he also seemed to be secretly dissatisfied with Li Dui's dictatorship, although he did not express it clearly, but as an admirer of Confucianism, how could he support Li Dui's chaotic ministers and thieves.

"This time, the Qin army took advantage of the emptiness in our country to send troops to attack Jiaoyang and other places, will it really be as simple as indicated, just sending troops, and no other means?" The three of them talked about the Qin army's dispatch of troops, and Lin Xiangru was also silent for a long time, he held his beard in his hand, and suddenly said loudly.

Hearing this, Zhao Fan was also stunned, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Go to the army to plot, then attack the enemy, then attack the army, and attack the city." The Qin people are cunning, and King Qin Zhao is ambitious, according to what his uncle said, they should not simply use the inferior siege method, but I don't know what other means they have? ”

Lin Xiang said just now, but he just relied on his keen political intuition and guessed in his heart, and when he heard Zhao Fan say this, the doubts in his heart were even worse. After all, even if Zhao is attacking Song now, there is some emptiness in the country, but the Qin army wants to use this to destroy Zhao, it is absolutely impossible, if it just wants to occupy some of the land of Zhao, it seems to be inconsistent with Qin's great appetite.

"The best strategy for fighting with troops is to use wisdom to achieve victory. The general who went on this expedition was Lian Po, with his ability, the Qin army was sure of victory, could he think of a brilliant strategy to defeat him? ”

Zhao Fan smiled indifferently, although Lian Po is not famous now, but his ability is also a small reputation among Qin Zhao and other countries, where can ordinary generals dare to say that they will definitely be able to defeat him, then in this way, it is impossible to go to the army to fight.

"Brother Zhao Fan, have you come up with any other means for the Qin army besides attacking the city?" Xu Jia saw Zhao Fan with a bright smile on his face, with his own understanding of him, Zhao Fan usually smiled like this, he must have thought of something in his heart, and immediately asked.

Without waiting for Zhao Fan to speak, Lin Xiangru blurted out: "It's not a military strategy, it's a second war and a diplomatic victory over the enemy." The west of Zhao is the Qin State, and the east is the Qi State, and the Zhao State is in danger from both sides. ”

Lin Xiangru paused, and then said: "Last year, Su Qin came to Zhao State as an envoy of Qi State and canceled Qi State's promise to give Meng to Fengyang Jun Song Yin Land, at that time, there were cracks in the relationship between Qi and Zhao for this, so this time it is very likely that Qin State will unite with Qi State and attack our Zhao State together." ”

After listening to Lin Xiangru's words, Zhao Fan couldn't help but admire, this is indeed the case, but Su Qin's cancellation of Qi's promise to give Meng to Fengyangjun Song Yin was to drive a wedge between Qi and Zhao, and to find an opportunity to unite Zhao and Qi to avenge his attack on Yan.

When it comes to Su Qin, I have to say that this person who single-handedly promoted the unity of the six countries of Shandong, made Qiang Qin dare not send a letter to Guguan for fifteen years, and matched the six countries to seal each other, and dominate the situation.

Su Qin is actually a minister who works for the Yan State, and he is currently in the Qi State, not only has the trust and reuse of the King of Qi, but also plays the role of an undercover agent of the Yan State.

The two countries of Yan and Qi are feuds, and the world knows it. As for the reason, it is because the former King of Yan, hey, I don't know which nerve was wrong, and he followed Yao Shun to achieve Zen and pass the throne to Xiangbangzi.

This naturally caused the prince and other nobles to disagree, which led to a mutiny, although this civil strife Zizhi was victorious, and he not only killed the prince, but also seized the military and political power of the Yan State.

But also because of this civil strife, the national strength of Yan was seriously weakened, Qi took the opportunity to attack Yan, and the general Kuang Zhang led the army to occupy Yan within 50 days of sending troops, and Yan was almost destroyed by the defeat, and Yan Wang and Zizhi were killed. At the same time, Zhongshan also took the opportunity to send troops to capture part of the territory of Yan. Under the fierce resistance of the Yan [***] people and the pressure of Zhao, Han, Qin, Chu and other countries, the Qi State had to withdraw its troops, and finally, King Wuling of Zhao supported the position of prince of Han as a hostage, and escorted him to the Yan State with soldiers, which was for the King of Yan Zhao.

As a result, Yan Qi's hatred was settled, and King Yan Zhao didn't want to avenge the country all the time, so he let Su Qin sneak into the Qi country.

"I just don't know if this news has reached the court, we have to inform General Lian, this matter is not a trivial matter, once Qin Qi joins forces, then Zhao Guo will be really dangerous." A trace of worry crossed Zhao Fan's face.

Qin State and Qi State are both big countries that are not inferior to Zhao State, they join forces, Zhao State must not be an opponent, he is now an officer of Zhao State, so he naturally has to think about Zhao State, and immediately said in a hurry.
