Sinjeong, South Korea.

Xinzheng, who has been noisy for more than two months, gradually became deserted with the departure of King Han and hundreds of officials, although compared to many cities, Xinzheng is still called busy, but it is always like an old man in the twilight, and it is difficult to reproduce the glory of the past. Everyone in Xinzheng knows that Luoyang, only Luoyang is the next center of South Korea. Xinzheng bears the name of the old capital, and sooner or later it will become a slightly larger ordinary city like Yang Zhai.

The plot of the Chinese people's love for the land is incomparable to any nation in the world. As long as the land in their hometown can still support people, few people will leave their homeland to beg for food. Only officials and businessmen who aspired to wealth and power would go to great lengths to move their families to Luoyang, a completely unfamiliar place.

Therefore, many Xinzheng people chose to stay. Not only because I have become accustomed to the life here, but also because my ancestors are buried here, I was born in Si, grew up in Si, and will be buried in Si.

At this time, those who stayed in Xinzheng were locals except for the business travelers who turned, and Chang'anjun was an exception. He was neither a free-of-movement merchant nor a native of his homeland. He is more like a bargaining chip, maintaining the relationship between South Korea and Zhao.

It's been more than a year since he came to Xinzheng, and Chang'anjun has grown a little taller. Although the Empress Dowager Zhao would write letters to greet from time to time, and although King Zhao would send many strange things from time to time, Chang'an Jun always felt that he had nothing to do with the city called Handan six hundred miles away!

South Korea treats itself well, as long as you ask for instructions in advance, you can even go out of the city to hunt. Of course, South Korea sends guards to spy on itself every time in the name of protecting its own safety. For this qiē, Chang'an Jun is already very satisfied. Although he is just a proton, he is the youngest son of Empress Dowager Zhao and the younger brother of King Zhao. Compared with other protons, his treatment is already very good.

But although Xinzheng is good, it is not a hometown. If he could, Chang'anjun would rather eat coarse tea and light rice and frolic in the palace. Instead of fine clothes and fine food, like a prisoner, carefully watching his words and deeds. Every day, I play a play that I am tired of.

King Han ordered the relocation of the capital to Luoyang, and Chang'an Jun naturally knew, and he also guessed that he might move to Luoyang with King Han. Things were similar to what Chang'anjun expected, after King Han moved the capital to Luoyang, Chang'anjun received an order that he would go to Luoyang to live.

Chang'anjun is used to being submissive, not to mention, he has no right to refuse, although Luoyang is not Handan, but compared with Xinzheng. It's closer to Handan after all, isn't it?

Chang Anjun didn't expect that on the first night after leaving Xinzheng, a man in black would sneak into his mansion, holding a letter from King Zhao, saying that he would come and take him back to Handan!

Chang Anjun was surprised and delighted by this, returning to Handan was something Chang Anjun thought about day and night, but Chang Anjun didn't expect it. The day will come so fast! King Zhao's letters will not be faked, and Chang'anjun, who loves calligraphy, naturally recognizes King Zhao's handwriting. Let alone. The man in black was still holding a token that King Zhao and Chang Anjun knew. The more important thing is that Chang'anjun doesn't think that South Korea will play such a boring joke on himself.

But the man in black alone could not single-handedly kill from the army and bring Chang'anjun back to Handan. Although Xinzheng's defense was inevitably slackened because of the departure of King Han, Xinzheng, which still has more than 10,000 people stationed, should not be underestimated. What's more important is that the 3,000 elites of the Yulin Army were stationed on the outskirts of Xinzheng no earlier or later yesterday! If the officials who escorted Chang Anjun to Luoyang tomorrow found that Chang Anjun was gone. It will definitely alarm South Korea, and South Korea will definitely search for Chang'anjun across the country! No one can guarantee how far they can escape!

Xinlingjun's guest, Tian Heng, the leader of the rescue of Chang'anjun this time, told Chang'anjun his plan to Chang'anjun. The distance from Xinzheng to Luoyang is more than 200 miles, which is calculated according to the speed of 60 miles a day. It takes four days to reach Luoyang. At the beginning, South Korea's supervision of Chang'anjun must be strict, and this is not the best time to start. On the third night, when Luoyang was within reach, the Korean officials escorting Chang'anjun would definitely relax, so Tian Heng would take more than a hundred dead soldiers to attack the camp.

After rescuing Chang'anjun, the group would rush to the bank of the Bishui River, where a boat would be waiting. As soon as Chang'anjun arrived, the boat would go down the river and dock in Huaxian. Huaxian County is now within the territory of Zhao State. It is a 300-mile waterway from the bank of the Bishui River to Huaxian County, and it takes a day and a half at most. When the time comes, even if South Korea wants to catch up, it will be too late. What's more, Tian Heng will let the other dead soldiers confuse Korea and buy enough time for Chang Anjun to escape.

And the only thing Chang Anjun needed to do was to cooperate as much as possible and create a false impression of obedience, so that the Han army who escorted him to Luoyang would relax. Tian Heng has already learned that the number of Korean troops escorting Chang'anjun tomorrow will definitely not exceed 200 people, and the probability of success is still very high. Han Jun would never have imagined that there would be bold robbers who would dare to kidnap Chang'anjun on the outskirts of Luoyang! The only thing Tian Heng needs to worry about is not to injure Chang'anjun by mistake in the chaotic army, and the speed of action must be fast, and he can't leave a living mouth, otherwise, in the face of the reacting South Korea, it is not a pity for these people to die, and the key will drag down the king's plan!

As Tian Heng inquired, early the next morning, Xun Qian, the county guard of Yingchuan County, led two hundred Han troops to meet Chang'anjun and informed Chang'anjun that the two hundred Han troops would be responsible for Chang'anjun's safety along the way. Chang Anjun nodded enthusiastically, complimented Xun Jing, thanked him for taking care of himself these days, and then went on the road.

On the way, Chang Anjun showed his enthusiastic side very well, eating and drinking were all paid by Chang Anjun, and he mingled with this group of big-headed soldiers, without the slightest appearance of a son. The Han army was also willing to deal with Chang Anjun, and even the unsmiling Han military lieutenant had to admit that Chang Anjun respected himself very much and did not cause any trouble to himself. Moreover, Chang Anjun is very measured. For example, he never persuaded himself to drink alcohol, and he never went out of his sight. Seeing that after tonight, there would be half a day to arrive in Luoyang, and everyone began to relax unconsciously.

On the way from Xinzheng to Luoyang, there are cities of all sizes. It's always better to stay in the city than to camp in the wilderness, that's a constant truth. It's just that when I crossed the floating mountain. Chang Anjun had a bad stomach and lost a lot of time. Now, Du Wei can only take his subordinates and Chang'anjun to camp in the wilderness.

Although we are in the heart of South Korea, we still have to be vigilant. This is not because of Chang'anjun's esteemed status, but because the new South Korean law stipulates how many troops need to camp in the wilderness. If you don't follow the rules, you'll be known by the company. Not only will he be punished with a rod of thirty, but he will also be demoted by two levels. If there are bad consequences, the punishment is even greater!

Chang'an Jun saw that the captain of the Han army sent out twenty people to guard the surroundings, and he could only pray secretly in his heart. The cautiousness of the Han army deviated too much from Tian Heng's prediction, although the Han troops in the camp were loosely guarded, but the Han troops who were in charge of vigilance outside were by no means vegetarians. Unless Tian Heng can quietly deal with the twenty Han soldiers outside, otherwise, most of them will be discovered by the vigilant Han army! As long as they warn in time, the Han army, which is waiting for the day, will wake up. The raid is likely to fail.

Although Chang Anjun had long known that Tian Heng and his party would attack the camp in the second half of the night when people were sleepy and tired, the success or failure of the matter was no longer something he could control. But it's still tossing and turning! Chang An Jun has been wondering if Tian Heng will find out about the secret post outside, and if the operation fails, what will South Korea do with him. They pretended to be robbers, even though they could prove that they had nothing to do with it. But I'm afraid that South Korea will guard itself more strictly. The chances of escaping on your own will be slim to the extreme! I can only force a smile and stay in Luoyang with peace of mind.

If it weren't for Tian Heng to rescue himself. Although Chang'anjun is melancholy, he will also accept the arrangement of fate! But the most terrible thing for anyone in distress is to give him hope and watch it shatter! Therefore, Chang'anjun, who suffers from gains and losses, naturally has insomnia!

When Chang Anjun was dazed and half-asleep because of the fatigue of the journey, Tian Heng and the others launched a night attack when they were young, and the flames were everywhere. Killing all over the world, Chang Anjun woke up violently and saw the most unforgettable side of his life so far. A hundred masked dead men rushed into the unsuspecting camp and killed everyone as if they were in a no-man's land! The South Korean army lost an inch in the chaos. The commander can't find his subordinates, the soldiers can't find his superiors, where is there still the elite demeanor in the daytime! Sharp whistles came and went, and the Korean army fought with the sacrifice of dozens of people to stabilize its position! And at this time, Chang Anjun had already seen Tian Heng and them getting closer and closer to him!

In order to protect Chang'anjun, the captain of the Han army divided five or six elite soldiers, and he personally led the rest of the soldiers to rush towards the unidentified man in black. The Han army has discipline and skillful cooperation, and the man in black has a fierce character and the courage to die together. In order to achieve the best effect, they even smeared poison on their weapons, and the Han army, who was often slightly injured, gradually found that they had no strength, lost control of their bodies, and were killed by the man in black with a sword. Relying on such indiscriminate means, the man in black gradually gained the upper hand!

Chang'anjun thought that Tian Heng would win, until the rumbling iron horse broke the tranquility of the night! The Yulin Army, which was lying in ambush twenty miles away, showed its deadly fangs after all the men in black appeared! Chang An Jun watched as the black-clothed men who had the upper hand were shot by the Yulin Army one after another, and watched the captains of the Han army with hideous faces, avenging the dead subordinates. Chang Anjun's mind was blank! He clearly realized that he could only be bound to the sky of Luoyang from now on! Until Korea Kaieun, Ken put himself back!

The day dawned quickly, and the battle came and ended quickly! The 100 men in black from Tian Heng down were all killed in the battle, and the Han army was not comfortable. The Han army that escorted Chang'anjun to Luoyang lost more than 60 people, while the Yulin army suffered no casualties. If it weren't for the fact that the men in black had poisoned their weapons, the losses of the South Korean army could have been smaller, but the war had no ifs. In order to exterminate Tian Heng and his party, South Korea mobilized 100 Yulin troops and 200 foot soldiers, and reaped such a result, it could only be a tragic victory!

Chang Anjun later learned that Han didn't know about Tian Heng and his entourage at all, and the 100 feathers of the forest army were added by King Han prepared. Just like a sentry, South Korea is used to preparing both openly and secretly! Although Tian Heng was careful enough to solve the secret post outside the camp, he did not avoid the Yulin army that followed him after all. This is not to blame Tian Heng and them, who would have thought that the reinforcements of the Korean army would be twenty miles away, and it would be the elite cavalry known for its speed - the Yulin Army!

Knowing that someone wanted to kidnap Chang'anjun and escape, King Han was furious. It is certain that Chang'anjun was held hostage instead of assassinating Chang'anjun because the group of black-clothed people played by Tian Heng had already killed him close enough to Chang'anjun. But no arrows were fired! This fully shows that the purpose of this group of people is to hold Chang Anjun hostage.

However, it is unknown whether the purpose of holding Chang'anjun hostage was to blackmail Han and Zhao or whether they had other plans! Because the only man in black who could speak had been turned into a corpse. And the dead don't speak! South Korea can only guess who will be behind the scenes, and can only be vigilant!

The consequence of King Han's anger was that nearly 100 fine works hidden in Korea were ordered by the angry King Han to be pulled out and executed in advance! This is a naked deterrent to countries not to attack their own ideas.

As far away as Handan, the Empress Dowager Zhao, the actual principal of Zhao State, reacted extraordinarily. She complained in public that King Han did not take good care of her young son, which made Chang Anjun feel undeservedly frightened! Fortunately, Chang Anjun only had a false alarm and was not injured, otherwise, she would have personally gone to Luoyang Xingshi to ask for the guilt!

South Korea chose to forbear this and admit to Zhao Guo that it was his own negligence? It's impossible! Let's not say that Zhao Guo can't get rid of suspicion, because Zhao Guo has been too close to Qin, Qi, and Chu in the past few months, and it can't help but make people wonder if Zhao Guo will be the mastermind behind the scenes. Want to send Chang'anjun back to Handan and then beat him upside down?! South Korea's national strength alone is far superior to Zhao's, and South Korea can't erase this face! Have you ever seen that when the Qin State was strong, how could you ever compromise the countries of Shandong?! Their approach has always been, you have an opinion about me, okay! Come and hit me! If you can't beat it, don't shout!

Of course, South Korea's forbearance does not mean that there is no counterattack! After Empress Dowager Zhao's remarks were known to South Korea, King Han ordered to ban Chang'anjun's feet. On the surface, it is for the sake of Chang'anjun's safety, but in fact, it is to express dissatisfaction with Empress Dowager Zhao's remarks!

Zhao Guo, Handan.

Shinling-kun looked worriedly at the torrential rain outside. It's been seven days. The rain in Handan has not been light. The continuous rainy days make people bored for no reason, and no one knows. When will the sky clear. If it is a weekday, Xinlingjun can read and enjoy dancing on a rainy day to pass the time. But June was the day when the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu agreed to send troops to the front line, and rainy days meant muddy roads, which meant that the assembly of troops would become very slow and slow. After all, not all countries are like South Korea. Cement was used to build a gallop road that extends in all directions. Therefore, from a certain Cheng dù, Xinlingjun's mood is also like the rain in Handan, and he is extremely depressed! Although it is summer, heavy rain is mixed with strong winds. It actually made people shiver with cold.

The most direct consequence of the failure of the operation to rescue Chang'anjun was the vacillation of the Empress Dowager Zhao. After all, King Zhao is young and can't insist on his own opinions, although Pingyuan Jun supports him as always, but Lin Xiangru, an old and serious minister, stood up again after seeing the vacillation of the Empress Dowager Zhao, opposing a big move against South Korea, and even more opposing taking the initiative to provoke South Korea. This undoubtedly added a lot of variables to Zhao Guo's war against Han.

In the eyes of Lin Xiangru and his courtiers, the continuous years of war have damaged the vitality of Zhao State. Although the state of Zhao was strong, it could not be belligerent. Korea grew in strength after the annexation of Wei, and for whatever purpose, Zhao certainly wanted to weaken Korea. But war is not the only means, and even if you start a war with South Korea, you don't necessarily have to be the vanguard yourself, so that Qin, Qi, and Chu can come out!

Today's weather is the best excuse for Zhao to postpone or even cancel this war. Some ministers even spoke bluntly and told the Empress Dowager Zhao that this was a warning from heaven! At this time, it is really not appropriate to use troops! Such remarks were so loud that things seemed to have suddenly returned to the situation of last winter - Xin Lingjun and Zhao Guoqun's ministers argued fiercely, and Empress Dowager Zhao was slow to make up her mind!

Of course, Xinlingjun knew that Empress Dowager Zhao was in a predicament now. I am not at ease to fulfill the covenant, and I am unwilling to tear up the covenant. King Zhao is young and needs to be more powerful, as long as he defeats South Korea this time, even if it is a small victory, King Zhao's authority can be established! It's just that Chang'anjun, who is in Luoyang, will be blamed by the annoyed and angry South Korea, and the Empress Dowager Zhao can't bear it!

Xinlingjun decided to wait, wait for the rain to stop for a while, and the rumors dispersed, and then enter the palace to tell the Empress Dowager Zhao about the benefits.

For today's Xinlingjun, the only thing that comforts Xinlingjun is that the Chu State and the Qi State have not had any more problems. But in Xinlingjun's plan, Qin and Zhao were the main forces in this attack on Han. Because of the opposition of the people in Guanzhong and in order to paralyze Korea, the Qin State will postpone the dispatch of troops for half a month. As for Zhao Guo, looking at the rain in Handan, even if the Empress Dowager Zhao is persuaded again, it will be postponed for half a month!

Xin Lingjun began to blame himself, perhaps, he should not have let the soldiers of Qin, Zhao, Qi, and Chu divide into four ways to distract South Korea and overwhelm South Korea! Perhaps, it is time for the four countries to gather together and defeat South Korea with a dignified and upright strategy! After all, if you take the latter, you don't have to run around and do all kinds of coordinated things. It has added a lot of variables to the war. (To be continued......)
