The people in the back group, dressed in different shapes, looked a little scattered and disorganized, most of them were hunters wearing animal skins, and a few were soldiers wearing fine iron battle helmets and looking extremely high-quality.

The people at the head were Gongsun Long, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt, and Xu Jia, who was dressed in a gray coat, and the more than 2,000 people opposite them were undoubtedly the people of the left army, but fortunately, the two sides had not yet started a conflict.

The arrival of Zhao Fan and others immediately attracted the attention of the people on both sides, and when they saw that there were suddenly two hundred more bearded sword knights, the soldiers of the left army were also a little confused, and the bearded knife knights have always been a symbol of the strength of Zhao State, representing the purest troops of Zhao State, these ordinary soldiers naturally felt a little shocked in their hearts when they saw it.

At this time, Xu Jia, Gongsun Long and others also saw Zhao Fan at the front, and they were immediately overjoyed and greeted them.

"Brother Zhao Fan, Master Zhao." The two shouted separately.

Although Gongsun Long is much older than Zhao Fan, he is not familiar with the matter of marching and fighting, and when he saw Zhao Fan appear, the burden in his heart was suddenly reduced, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

Zhao Fan rolled over from his horse, he glanced at the soldiers of the left army opposite, and then asked Xu Jia and Gongsun Long in a dumb voice, "What's wrong?" I received a notice from these big brothers, and I rushed over immediately, so it should be fine. ”

Although he saw that the men and horses on both sides were not fighting, Zhao Fan was still a little worried in his heart, after all, Gongsun Long and their side were twice as small as the other party's men and horses, if it was a short handover, even if there was a bearded knight, it would definitely suffer.

"There have been no clashes yet." Gongsun Long waved his hand, and then continued: "Here's the thing, we came to Yuehua Village today to recruit soldiers, and there are already dozens of people who are going through the formalities for joining the army, at this time they suddenly rushed over, and said that the residents of this area are under the management of the left army, and if the local residents want to join the army, they must enter the left army. ”

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The entire territory of Zhao State, logically speaking, should belong to King Zhao, at least, now on the surface, King Huiwen is the king of Zhao, he Li Dui can only obtain the right to rule the region of Zhao unless he openly resists, kills King Huiwen, seizes power, and obtains the recognition of Zhou Tianzi.

Zhao Fan was also murderous in his heart, and he sneered in his heart, Li Dui is still a Xiangguo now, although he holds most of the power of Zhao State, but on the surface, he must still follow King Huiwen's arrangement.

Judging from the behavior of these soldiers of the Left Army today, if Li Dui is ready to go out and do it, or if these soldiers are arrogant and domineering, they are not seen in the eyes of Gongsun Long and others now.

No matter what the situation, Zhao Fan will definitely not be able to tolerate it, no matter what, King Huiwen is his royal brother.

Zhao Fan nodded slowly, he turned to look at the soldiers of the left army opposite, the person at the head was a tall man, wearing the same battle robe as Zhao Fan, this person was obviously a division commander.

Feeling Zhao Fan's gaze, the man also grinned, his eyes full of compelling disdain.

In his opinion, Zhao Fan, a hairy boy, can afford to make big waves, even if he defeats Wei Liang, Wei Liang is nothing in his eyes, just a young man in his early twenties, you know, he has gone through dozens of battles before he climbed to his current position, compared to those who came in by connection, there is no comparison at all.

"Which division of the Left Army are you?" Zhao Fan stepped forward slowly and said lightly to the man not far away.

The man's name is Ge Xiang, he saw Zhao Fan's division commander's robe, and then contacted his age, he had already guessed that the young man in front of him was the famous commander of the Sixth Division of the Right Army during this time, Zhao Fan.

"Master Zhao, right?" Glancing at Zhao Fan, Ge Xiao did not answer his question directly, but had a playful taste on his face: "These soldiers under your command are too ignorant, this area has always been the place where our left army is under the management of the government, your people, without saying hello, came to recruit soldiers without authorization, Zhao Shishuai must give an explanation to our left army for this matter." ”

This Ge Xiang is not a simple character, these latecomers have a bit of an anti-guest flavor at the moment, you know, it was Xu Jia and others who came here to recruit soldiers in advance, and they said that this is the place where the left army is managed, just like capturing these soldiers, it's just a joke.

Immediately, Zhao Fan also smiled coldly and said: "My conscription is the king's order, and outside Handan City, it is the king's land, the area you are talking about is the place managed by your left army, I don't know who gave you this power?" ”

Zhao Fan was in an extremely bad mood at the moment, he didn't expect that not only Li Dui and Wei Biao, but even these jumping clowns also jumped out one after another, no matter what, at present, King Huiwen or King Zhao, how arrogant Li Dui was, before he launched a rebellion, he didn't dare to tell the truth, saying where it was his own, and where it was King Zhao's.

Ge Xiao's face flickered, he didn't expect Zhao Fan to be powerful, he didn't say anything, just used King Zhao as a shield, he was just a district commander, and the battle with King Zhao was completed by Li Dui, where did he intervene in this matter.

However, thinking of Wei Biao and Li Dui's orders, Ge Xiang settled down in his heart again, and sneered: "This is the order of Lord Xiangguo, Master Zhao, you and I are just small people, this matter is very important, I advise you to leave it alone, brothers, take away the adult men from Yuehua Village and add them to the army." ”

Ge Xiang was ruthless in his heart, and he didn't want to talk to Zhao Fan more, so he directly ordered the soldiers and forcibly dragged the dozens of men recruited by Gongsun Long and others into the army.

Seeing this, Zhao Fan couldn't keep calm in his heart anymore, he jumped into the air, flew up, kicked the soldiers of the left army who were about to step forward, and then raised the spear in his hand horizontally to his chest, looking at them with cold eyes.

Seeing that the commander had already made a move, Xu Ying, Xu Xiong, and the more than a thousand Orions who were ready to join the Sixth Division also surrounded them, and looked at Ge Xiang and the others on the opposite side vigilantly, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and a battle intent emanated from the people on both sides.

Zhao Fan naturally couldn't let Ge Xiang succeed in person, if so, then his reputation would be greatly damaged, and he couldn't even protect his own soldiers, and who would dare to join his sixth division in the future, so Zhao Fan didn't think about it immediately, and shot directly.

Seeing Zhao Fan kicking his soldiers into the air, Ge Xiao's face also became very ugly, he didn't expect Zhao Fan to dare to really make a move, and immediately sneered: "Master Zhao, I advise you not to make mistakes, attacking your country's army will be severely punished!" ”

Zhao Fan also sneered and said nothing, he naturally knew this law, but even so, so what?

"Don't say that you are just a division commander of the Left Army, when Tian Baigui was a general, this commander still killed him in front of Li Dui and Wei Biao, tell you, don't know what to do." Zhao Fan said coldly.

Everyone has a bottom line, and this Ge Xiang has already violated his bottom line, so Zhao Fan categorically will not show mercy.

Hearing this, Ge Xiang was stunned, remembering that when Zhao Fan sent an envoy to Qi State, he killed the former on the grounds that Tian Bai was late, and he was also a little chilled in his heart.

He turned his head and glanced at the more than 2,000 soldiers behind him, and his heart was a little calmer, no matter how ruthless Zhao Fan was, there were still more than 2,000 soldiers behind him, and the other party, but more than 1,000 people, immediately the fear in his heart also faded a lot.

"Hmph, this matter is not to worry about you for the time being, let's go!" Ge Xiao thought for a moment, and saw that Zhao Fan had a tough attitude, not like a master who would make concessions, so he immediately waved his hand and left here with the soldiers of his headquarters.

He didn't want to clash with Zhao Fan yet, not to mention, this matter was not a trivial matter, he had to report to Wei Biao and Li Dui first, and listen to their orders before he dared to act.

More than 2,000 soldiers soon disappeared into the crowd, and the surrounding hunters also cheered, they had long hated the left army, especially the recent forced conscription, which made the nearby residents resentful.

Under the ideas instilled by Gongsun Long and Xu Jia, they already admired Zhao Fan, but now that they saw Ge Xiang eating under Zhao Fan, everyone's respect and admiration for Zhao Fan has risen a lot.

"How did these people end up here?" Zhao Fan watched Ge Xiang and the others leave, and also asked Xu Jia and the others beside him in a deep voice.

He had a kind of expectation that Ge Xiang would not give up, and this concession was only short-lived, so he had to be prepared.

Hearing this, Xu Jia also pondered for a while, and replied: "This is a division of the Left Army, with a total of 2,500 people, they are divided into five brigades, and they have been recruiting troops outside Handan City recently, but because of our appearance, the process of their recruitment is far from being as good as before, so they want to attack us all the time, and this is because of this, the conflict was launched." ”

Originally, Zhao Fan left Xu Jia and Gongsun Long behind to secretly sabotage Li Dui's conscription, but because King Huiwen later appointed him as the commander of the Sixth Division, and could form the Sixth Division, they began to recruit troops in a bright and bright manner, and the two sides of the people and horses did the same thing in the same place, so there would naturally be contradictions and conflicts.

This is very natural, Zhao Fan also knew in his heart, he nodded, looked around, and saw that the scale of Yuehua Village was also quite huge, with hundreds of residents, thinking that Ge Xiang would definitely come again, and he didn't plan to return to Handan immediately, so he took everyone and temporarily lived in the local people's homes.

The people here are simple and the residents are quite hospitable, and Zhao Fan and the others even lived in the courtyard vacated by a hunter.

The progress of Gongsun Long and others during this period was much smoother than the beginning, and more than 1,000 people were recruited to join the Sixth Division of the Right Army, of course, most of them were soldiers and civilians in that hunting area, where Orion was favored by the king, and King Huiwen was naturally extremely supportive.

Outside Yuehua Village, there is a high mountain, Zhao Fan and others climbed the hillside, on the hillside can overlook the entire terrain of this area, Yuehua Village is the most concentrated area of residents, not far away, there are several scattered villages, visual inspection of residents will not exceed dozens of households.

"Recently, Li Dui's actions have become more and more frequent, and he has become more and more arrogant, I am afraid that he is not far from the date of rebellion, so everyone must be prepared." Zhao Fan looked down at the bottom of the mountain, raised his head and said to Xu Jia and the others beside him.

A few days ago in Handan City, Zhao Fan would enter the palace every two days to discuss major affairs in the court with King Huiwen, because the identities of both parties have been clear, and they are both brothers, so King Huiwen will tell Zhao Fan anything about it.

From the former's words, Zhao Fan heard the changes in Li Dui's words, perhaps because of Zhao Fan's conscription, which aroused his vigilance, so Li Dui's actions became more and more frequent, and I believe that it would not be long before the civil strife in Zhao State broke out, so Zhao Fan must be prepared.

Hearing this, Gongsun Long also nodded, he stroked his beard under his chin, and muttered, "How long will it take for General Lian to return to Handan?" ”

Lian Po is in charge of a large army, and his military command ability is extremely strong, everyone's hopes are almost on him, as for Li Feng, although he is the county guard of Yunzhong County, he does not have many troops, and he wants to deter the Hu people, so he can't transfer troops and horses to support.

Zhao Fan looked in the direction of the northwest and nodded: "It will take about four or five days, during this time, we must run through all the surrounding areas as soon as possible, as long as those who are willing to join our right army, whether they are people, they will all agree." ”

The matter is imminent, this matter is related to the survival of Zhao State, although judging from the information in the previous life, Li Dui's ** operation failed, but how King Huiwen dealt with him, but there is no information left in this regard, so Zhao Fan now has to use his own method to carry out, hoping to succeed.

And the alliance with King Qi is also extremely urgent, now that Princess Huiwei and Su Qin have come, he must give an answer, let Su Qin bring it back when the time comes, so as to stabilize King Qi's heart, so as not to have any unnecessary trouble.

I don't know what sad things I remembered, Gongsun Long's eyes suddenly seemed to be blinded by the sand, a little moist, and said to the northwest: "The Dune Palace is in that direction, if the master father hadn't taken in Gongzizhang at the beginning, now my Da Zhao would not have faced such a crisis, alas......"

After listening to him, Zhao Fan's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to breathe, and he looked towards the place where Gongsun Long pointed, which was indeed the direction of the Dune Palace.

Hearing the name of the master father, Zhao Fan's heart also throbbed, after all, the blood flowing in this body was given by the great King Zhao Wuling, if it wasn't for Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui to launch the Dune Rebellion, King Zhao Wuling would not have starved to death in the palace.

In fact, in the final analysis, King Zhao Wuling is also responsible for this matter. That Gongzi Zhang, speaking of Zhao Fan's brother, was originally made the prince by King Wuling, but because King Huiwen, who was Zhao He's mother Wu Wa, was favored, he abolished Gongzi Zhang and established King Huiwen as the crown prince.

Later, King Wuling was bent on destroying the Qin State, so he passed the throne to the nine-year-old King Huiwen, assisted by Xiangguo Feiyi, and King Wuling concentrated on military affairs.

After Wu Wa's death, her love for Zhao He was also relaxed, and she took pity on the original prince again, and planned to divide the county and the Zhongshan Kingdom, which had been destroyed, and let the eldest son be the king, and let the two sons be the king, so he hesitated.

In the fourth year of King Huiwen, the lord father and King Huiwen visited the sand dunes (one said to find the location of the tomb) and lived in two palaces. Gongzizhang thought that the time had come, so he used his party members to make trouble with Tian Buru, and falsely summoned King Huiwen under the orders of his master's father. Xiangguo Feiyi Fox suspected fraud, so he visited first, and left elite soldiers to defend King Zhao, and soon a generation of Ming Xiangfeiyi was assassinated. Gongzizhang led his troops to engage the guards of King Huiwen, but the palace was tightly defended and could not be attacked for a long time. A few days later, Gongzi Cheng and Li Dui, who were in charge of the military power of Zhao State, arrived from the national capital and mobilized the army of Siyi to quell the rebellion, and finally repelled Gongzi Zhang and Tian Buli, eliminated their party members, and stabilized the royal family.

After the defeat, Tian Buli fled to the Song Kingdom, and Gongzi Zhang retreated to the palace of the master father to kneel and beg for refuge, and the master father actually accepted him. Therefore, Li Dui and Gongzi formed troops to surround the Dune Palace. The main father was surrounded in the inner palace, and there was no food or drinking water in the inner palace. The son became a pair of the main father before and after the food and water for three months, and the main father was forced to dig out the bird's nest to eat the chicks, and finally starved to death in the prime of life.

Thinking of the past, Gongsun Long was also a little sad, Zhao Fan's mood was also complicated, in the final analysis, King Zhao Wuling was still too soft-hearted, and he actually wanted to divide Zhao Kingdom into two, with Gongzi Zhang and King Huiwen respectively king.

This kind of thinking is undoubtedly extremely wrong, but it is a pity that a generation of male lords, if it were not for this, with the courage and military level of King Zhao Wuling, even if he could not destroy Qiang Qin, the national strength would be at least a little stronger.

Zhao Fan shook his head, this matter has passed, and he doesn't want to think about it, he just needs to deal with the matter in front of him for now. Immediately, several people were also on the hillside, pointing to some nearby villages, and agreed on who would lead the team to recruit troops.

Due to the urgency of the matter, they divided several groups of men and horses to recruit soldiers in various villages in this vicinity, and immediately, everyone also planned all these things, just waiting for the action to be taken.

The night of the Warring States period was extremely quiet, especially in the villages, and it was even more terrifying. Dozens of miles away from Yuehua Village, there is also a densely populated village, which has long been occupied by Ge Xiang and others who appeared during the day.

They used it as their barracks, and they sent their soldiers to various places during the day and lived here at night, and the inhabitants of the village were so angry with the soldiers that they vacated their houses for the soldiers to live in.

At this moment, Ge Xiang was changing into civilian clothes and walking out of the village, and after giving orders to the patrolling soldiers, he stepped on his war horse and galloped away into the distance, seeing that the direction he was going in was Handan City.

He rode alone, extremely fast, after an hour or so, he came to the outside of Handan City, at this moment the city of the official left army people, he recognized Ge Xiang, heard the former said that he came back to report to Wei Biao urgently, so he immediately opened the city gate and let him in.
