In the face of the sudden appearance of the ghost cavalry, the Linhu people collapsed first psychologically, coupled with the irresistible strong impact of the heavy armored iron cavalry, the entire cavalry array fell into a huge riot in an instant, and the eight thousand light cavalry of Meng Yu and Pang Yu took the opportunity to crush it, and the entire battle situation suddenly took a sharp turn, and the Linhu people were no longer able to return to the sky.

The initial formation of more than 200 heavy armored iron horses can be called perfect

In less than half an hour, more than 5,000 horsemen were almost slaughtered.

Looking at the battlefield full of corpses and blood, Xiang Zhuang raised his right hand again and stretched out his index finger to press it gently, and ordered coldly and cruelly: "Order the whole army to enter the city, and once you find the Linhu people, regardless of men and women, old and young, all the horses slaughtered and all the cattle and sheep will be slaughtered and abandoned in the wilderness."

"Oh" Meng Yu and Pang Yu agreed with a bang, and galloped away.

A moment later, there were endless screams, wails and neighing of horses in the cloud city, Xiang Zhuang could imagine what kind of scene the city should be like with his eyes closed, the clouds at this time were definitely a real hell, but Xiang Zhuang would not be soft-hearted because of this, let alone change his decision.

Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Xiang Zhuang hates killing, especially unarmed women and children

In order to protect the civilization of the Central Plains, Xiang Zhuang must kill them all, otherwise, when the Xiongnu cross the Great Wall and go south to the Central Plains 20 years later, there will be hundreds of thousands or even millions of innocent women and children in the Central Plains who have grown up and died tragically

For the continuation of the civilization of the Central Plains and China, why is Xiang Zhuang afraid of infamy?

Five days later, when Mao Dun personally led 50,000 light horsemen to chase into the clouds, all he was left with was the corpses of the city and the corpses of cattle and sheep everywhere in the wilderness, but the Chu army had long since lost its influence.

"Hateful" Mao Dun waved his whip hatefully at Kong, and suddenly let out a hollow sound.

Uncle Shuo sighed and persuaded: "Da Danyu, don't chase it, the Chu army did not take away the women, children, cattle and sheep of the Linhu people, but slaughtered them in cold blood, just don't want to add burden, if nothing else, the Chu army should have passed the Dai County by now, and they are about to enter the upper valley, no matter how much we chase, I am afraid that we will not be able to catch up." ”

Mao Dun thought about it and shouted: "Don't chase it, go back to the Hetao"

Although Mao Dun wanted to continue to hunt and kill Huyan Zhengde, he knew better that there would be more than half a month at most, and the first heavy snow of this winter would come, and the top priority was to move all the women, children, cattle and sheep in the old camp of Mobei to Hetao before the heavy snow froze.

Handan, Zhao Palace.

Although it was already late at night, the bedroom of Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was still brightly lit, although the doors and windows were closed, but you could still hear the melodious sheng song and the melodious chime, and you could faintly hear the little lady's coquettish whispering, and the expression hurriedly walked to the nearby country to hear it, and his face suddenly sank.

The attendants who were guarding outside the dormitory saw that the country was high, and hurried to salute.

Guan Gao returned the salute, and ordered the chamberlain to push open the door of the hall, and a wave of heat suddenly came to his face with a strong smell of wine.

Before he could take a step, an angry voice had already come out of the hall: "Which dog?" The king dared to enter without being summoned? Huh? ”

Guan Gao straightened his clothes and said coldly: "Why, the prime minister can't enter the king's bedroom?" ”

The angry voice just now suddenly stopped, and Zhang Ao, who was leaning on the soft mattress and drinking and having fun, hurriedly pushed away the two beautiful girls snuggled in his arms, hurriedly turned over and knelt down and sat up, and said: "Father, the night is so deep, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

A middle-aged man sitting at the head of Zhang Ao also quickly knelt down and stood up, bowing to Guan Gao.

This middle-aged man is none other than Zhang Jing, a close minister who is deeply favored by Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, and Zhang Jing is also from Zhang Ao's clan.

However, Guan Gao is the important minister of the first king Zhang Er Tuogu, because Zhang Ao is cowardly by nature, Zhang Er entrusted the state affairs to the country and the general Zhao Wu before he died, especially the country is always in charge of Zhao Guo's affairs, even Zhang Ao has to respectfully call his father when he sees him, how dare Zhang Jing support it?

Guan Gao ignored Zhang Jing, but saluted Zhang Ao, and then reported with a solemn expression: "King, I just received a quick horse report from the Hengshan County Guard, the Chu army entrenched in Jiuyuan has entered Handan County, and it is said that the Chu army has increased greatly, and Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er actually pulled up a powerful cavalry, not to mention 30,000 cavalry", "Ah, 30,000 cavalry? Zhang Ao's face turned pale with fright when he heard this.

Zhang Ao couldn't help but be afraid, the Chu army could reach Handan in an iron horse, but Handan was empty of garrison

Seeing Zhang Ao's appearance, Guan Gao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and the expression on his face eased at the moment, and he persuaded: "The king doesn't have to worry, although the Chu army is powerful, it may not be coming for our Zhao country, and the old minister has already sent a flying horse to the Baimajin camp, and the general will be able to lead the army back to defend Handan by the morning after tomorrow at the latest." ”

Recently, the relationship between Zhao and Liang was very stiff, the reason was that Peng Yue sent people to borrow grain from Zhao Guo, Zhao Guoguo Xianggao rejected Peng Yue's request on the grounds of the new funeral of the monarch, Peng Yue was furious after receiving the letter, and threatened to do everything Liang army to destroy Zhao State, and sent the general Liu Kou to build a bridge near Baimajin to build a ship, ready to cross the river.

Zhao Wu, the general of Zhao State, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly led an army of 100,000 troops out of Baimajin to camp.

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Ao said repeatedly, "Hurry up and let the general rush back to Handan with the army, hurry up." ”

Seeing that Zhang Ao was already frightened like this, Guan Gao really couldn't bear to say anything serious, some things could only be said by him and General Zhao Wu and General Bai Xuan, but fortunately, he and General Zhao Wu were all the first kings to trust the lonely ministers, and they were not overstepping their authority and overstepping the system.

At that moment, Guan Gao withdrew from the palace of King Zhao.

However, when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the official told him that a guest had come to visit

"Visiting?" Guan Gao was stunned and said, "It's so late, who is this?" ”

Before the words fell, a Tsing Yi Xiushi had already walked out of the living room, waved towards Guan Gao and shallow, and said loudly: "Xuyi Wushe, I have seen the prime minister." ”

"Wu Shi?" Guan Gao's eyes narrowed suddenly.

Wu Shi was originally just an unknown person, but since he successfully said that Peng Yue and Lu Ze turned against him in Ao Cang, his reputation has spread all over the world, at least Guan Gao has heard of his name.

Wu Shi said: "Prime Minister, it seems that this is not the place to speak?" ”

Guan Gao was dumbfounded, and said solemnly: "Mr. Wu She, please inside." ”

Entering the hall, the two sat down separately, and Guan Gao ordered the little officials to serve tea.

Tea culture has a long history in China, legend has it that the ancient Shennong clan already knew how to make tea, to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but by the Zhou Gong formulated a formal tea drinking etiquette, but until the Tang Dynasty, tea is a luxury that only high-level nobles can enjoy, so Guan Gao took out tea to entertain Wu She, which is already a real hospitality.

Then Guan Gaocai asked: "I don't know if Mr. came to visit late at night, what is his business?" ”

Wu Shi took a sip of hot tea, then put down the teacup and said: "My general led 50,000 iron cavalry to enter Zhao in a big way, presumably the prime minister has already gotten the news, right?" Quite a few words"

Guan Gao was silent, he knew that Wu Shi still had a following.

Sure enough, Wu Shi paused, and then said: "Actually, King Zhao and the prime minister don't need to be nervous at all, my general has no intention of embarrassing Zhao at all, as long as the Zhao army can make way for my Chu army to go south smoothly, then my general will be rewarded heavily and give away a thousand good horses."

"Oh?" Guan Gao stroked the long hair under his chin, and a pair of old eyes suddenly narrowed, "So, tens of thousands of iron horsemen of your army entered Zhao Land in a big way, not to attack the city and plunder the land, but just to pass by?" ”

"Yes." Wu Shi smiled and nodded, "My Chu State army is just passing by. ”

Guan Gao suddenly said: "I don't know if Mr. has thought about it, if my army gets out of the way and lets the Chu army cross the border, after the King of Han knows about it in the future, how will he spare my king?" ”

Wu Shi was stunned and said: "Dare to ask the Minister of State, when did King Zhao become a retainer of the King of Han?" ”

Guan Gao frowned and said unhappily: "Mr. Shenyan, how did the king of my family become a retainer of the Han king?" ”

"That's weird." Wu Shi pretended to be puzzled and said, "Since King Zhao is not a retainer of King Han, what does King Zhao do, and why should he care about King Han's feelings?" King Zhao is a king, King Han is also a king, everyone is a king, what qualifications does King Han have to point fingers at King Zhao, and what qualifications does he have to accuse King Zhao? ”

Guan Gao was suddenly speechless by Wu She.

Think about it carefully, it's really like this, King Zhao is the king, and the King of Han is also the king, although the first king of Zhao was Liu Bangfeng, but in terms of name, everyone is a king, and there is no distinction between high and low, what qualifications does the King of Han have to point fingers at King Zhao, can't King Zhao still dominate the state affairs of Zhao State? That's the joke.

Wu Shi straightened his clothes and said: "Actually, the prime minister also knows very well in his heart that even without the permission of King Zhao, my Great Chu Iron Cavalry can also go south to the Central Plains, relying on the power of Zhao State alone, it can be described as a fool's dream to stop my Great Chu Iron Cavalry, even if the army of the King of Han is in person, it may not be able to stop my Great Chu Iron Cavalry."

After saying this, Wu Shi said again: "However, I must remind the minister of state that once Chu Han starts a war in Zhaodi, it is the people of Zhao who will really suffer, and at that time, where my Great Chu Iron Cavalry passes, Zhao Di will be full of corpses, blood flowing, and densely populated Handan County, I am afraid that it will be ten rooms and nine empty."

Guan Gao changed color slightly: "Sir, is this a threat?" ”

"Nope." Wu Shi shook his head and said, "I just want to remind the minister of the state not to be a lackey of the King of Han, and my Great Chu Iron Cavalry does not want to go to war with the Zhao army, and even, the general of my family still hopes to be able to befriend the Zhao State." ”

Guan Gao was still silent, such a big matter, he really couldn't make a decision for a while.

At that moment, Wu Shi stood up and said to Guan Gao: "Since it is difficult for the minister of state to make a decision for a while, I will leave in the next place, but before noon tomorrow, I will wait for the news of the minister in the post house and say goodbye." After saying that, Wu Shi bowed slightly and shook his head to Guan Gao shallowly, then turned around and walked away......
