On the wall of Yecheng, Yang Duanhe looked at the soldiers who were tidying up the battlefield, and his heart was quite proud, and at the same time, a trace of worry flashed.

Proudly, after a few days of fierce battles, this strategically important city was finally trampled under his feet.

The reason why I am worried is that I have just received a report from Tanma, and Li Muzheng is coming with an army of 200,000 people, which is less than a hundred miles away.

Will it attack head-on, or hold on to Yecheng, or retreat westward?

After all, he was alone and faced the danger of being cut off at any time, and Li Mu was the most famous handsome talent in Zhao State, and his number exceeded him by a lot......

Just as he was weighing, he probed the Malay newspaper again: "Boss, Mrs. Hu Yu arrived here with the king's secret order to see the boss." ”

Yang Duanhe was taken aback: "Take me over quickly." ”

Tanma led him to Hu Yu's approach, but saw Hu Yu squatting on the ground helping a wounded soldier wrap his wounds.

Yang Duanhe hurriedly saluted and said: "Yang Duanhe to meet Mrs., how can Mrs. Lao do this matter herself." ”

Hu Yu had already finished bandaging, wiped the blood stains on his hands, stood up and smiled: "It's just practicing hands, Hu Yu has seen General Yang." ”

Then, Hu Yu took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yang Duanhe.

The letter was written by Ying Zheng himself, which said that Hu Yu returned to Handan to visit King Zhao this time, and negotiated with Zhao on behalf of Qin, so that he could listen to Hu Yu's dispatch.

After reading the letter, Yang Duanhe's heart finally settled, so he arched his hand and said: "In the end, everything will be arranged by Mrs. ”

At this time, Hu Yu had already washed her hands, she looked around, and said: "I heard that Li Mu has approached with a large army, and there are forces of Zhao on three sides here, and it is already extremely unsafe, I suggest that the general take all the soldiers back to Quehe." ”

Although he was a little unwilling, Yang Duanhe still said: "The last general will obey the order." ”

"As for Li Mu's side, I will personally intercept him and prevent him from pursuing you." Hu Yu said, "In the future, whether it is war or peace, when I get to Handan, I will say, if Li Mu chases after you, then you must hold on and wait for rescue." ”

"Yes!"

Yang Duanhe immediately ordered everyone to give up the booty and prisoners, put their armaments in order, and set off in an hour.

Facing the frightened people of Yecheng, Hu Yu went out of the city after being appeased.

In order to avoid being accidentally injured by Zhao's army, Hu Yu ordered the guards to raise the banner of Zhao and march all the way east.

After being intercepted by Li Mu's vanguard troops, Hu Yu ordered the guards of the Qin State to return to restore his life, and then went to meet Li Mu alone.

When Li Mu heard that Hu Yu was back, he immediately urged the horse to greet him.

"General Lee!!" Before he arrived, Hu Yu shouted loudly.

She has been pestering Li Mu to learn martial arts since she was a child, and Li Mu also loves her very much, and the two are like father and daughter.

Li Mu smiled, turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand: "Meet the ...... Oh, meet Madame. ”

The title has changed, but the sense of closeness has not diminished in the slightest.

Hu Yu dismounted, held Li Mu's sleeve and said, "Uncle has been doing well in recent years?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Mu's smile was even stronger, "The little girl in the past has finally grown up, and I heard that she has given birth to a baby." ”

Li Mu only heard that Hu Yu gave birth to Hu Hai, and he didn't know about Ying Yu, but these words aroused a trace of pain in Hu Yu's heart.

Uncle smiled. Hu Yu quickly changed the topic, "How is my father?" ”

At the mention of King Zhao, Li Mu sighed lightly and said, "It's not too good, I wanted to stay by his side, you may have heard of those two."

Childe fought very hard, but the war here was really tight, so he had no choice but to bring a large army to resist. ”

"The Qin army has retreated." Hu Yu said, "Although Yecheng was breached, the damage was not serious, and they heard that their uncle had arrived, so they were probably scared away." ”

"Really?" Li Mu was a little incredulous, no one would give up the city he had just captured so quickly.

"I just came over there, how can I talk nonsense." Hu Yu said, "What's more, King Qin has already entrusted me to come back and make peace, so my uncle should hurry up and accompany me back to Beijing." ”

Li Mu pondered for a moment and said: "King Qin sent his wife to come to talk about peace, that would be better, but Yecheng has just been broken, and it must be rectified and re-armed, if the peace talks fail, it will not be passively beaten again." I will send a team of cronies to escort you back to Handan, and when I settle down Yecheng, I will go back immediately. ”

Hu Yu felt that what Li Mu said was not unreasonable, so he said: "Then it is decided, but before the conclusion is decided, uncle must not take the initiative to attack the Qin army." ”

"I understand that." Li Mu said, "Madame, let's get on the road as soon as possible, it's important to see the king quickly." ”

Hu Yu nodded and turned over on his horse.

Li Mu personally ordered a team and escorted Hu Yu in the direction of Handan.

The officers and men in the army all looked at Hu Yu's back without exception, and the same sentence came out in their hearts: What kind of horse is that? So handsome.

Li Mu actually noticed the red horse under Hu Yu's crotch, but he didn't have time to ask more questions in a hurry.

After Hu Yu passed through Zhao Jun's ranks, he completely let go of his speed, leaving the guards far behind.

The heart is like an arrow, and time cannot be delayed on the road.

It is also difficult for Maple Leaf to have the opportunity to run with all his strength like now, and he is quite excited, and after a long time, the endurance of the sweaty horse has also been highlighted.

It was originally a two-day journey, but Hu Yu arrived in Handan in just one day.

The guards in the palace saw that Hu Yu was back, and hurriedly let him go.

Handing over the maple leaf to the personal maid who had been with her before, Hu Yu rushed into the palace where King Zhao was resting.

King Zhao was lying flat with his eyes closed, his face was burnt yellow, and his breathing was uneven.

"Father!" Hu Yu rushed to the bed, tears already hanging in the corners of his eyes.

I saw King Zhao's eyes move, as if he was struggling, and then he woke up.

I don't know if it was because his eyes were blurry or what, he looked at Hu Yu for a long time before he said weakly: "Yes...... Is it Hu Yu? ”

"Well, it's me." Hu Yu took King Zhao's hand, "Father, I'm back to see you." ”

King Zhao coughed twice and said, "I can't imagine that the widow will be able to see you again before closing his eyes." ”

At this time, everyone in the palace who heard the news came one after another.

Hu Yu didn't look behind, but just focused on King Zhao's face: "Father, I have learned a lot of medical skills these days, you first take a pill I refined, and then rest for a while, I will check your pulse." ”

King Zhao nodded weakly, and opened his mouth to swallow the Linggu Shan that Hu Yu had fed.

At this time, a voice came from the door: "Hu Yu, don't give your father anything to eat, if something happens, can you bear it?" ”

Hu Yu looked back and saw that it was the crown prince Zhao Qian.

"This pill can strengthen the body, and I usually take it regularly." Hu Yu explained, "Besides, my father is not only yours, but also my father, will I harm him?" ”

"Humph!" Zhao Qian said coldly, "What you brought back from the Qin State, this prince can't believe it!" ”

"Okay, stop arguing." A voice came from the doorway, and two appeared at the same time

Figure.

It was Hu Yu's mother Huang who spoke, and the other was the eldest son of King Zhao, that is, Zhao Jia, who was deposed as the crown prince.

Zhao Jia walked to Hu Yu's side, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Come, give me that pill, I'll see if it's okay." ”

Zhao Jia wanted to personally test the medicine to prove Hu Yu's sincerity, and at the same time tell Zhao Qian to shut up.

Zhao Qian glanced at Zhao Jia and didn't say anything more.

Hu Yu handed a Linggu Pill to Zhao Jia, and at the same time ate one himself, then ignored the people in front of him, and sat down beside King Zhao again, concentrating on the pulse.

Zhao Jia looked at Zhao Qian contemptuously and said, "Hu Yu and I have both taken pills, and no one will say that this is poison anymore." ”

Zhao Qian's biological mother, Yao, hurriedly came out of the round: "What the eldest prince said is not right, no one said that it was poison, if the king's illness was really cured, wouldn't it be better." ”

The slightly bewitching tone made Zhao Jia quite uncomfortable to listen to, but he didn't say anything, just said in his heart: I'm afraid that if my father goes to the immortal, your mother and son will be happier than anyone else.

Hu Yu gave King Zhao a pulse, and his heart was half cold.

King Zhao has always been in poor health, and she started taking medicine before she went to Qin, but the prescription should have some side effects, and after taking it over time, it has caused King Zhao's organs to be damaged, and now he is powerless.

But if you didn't take that medicine before, I'm afraid that King Zhao won't be able to survive now.

"Father, you sleep for a while, and I'll come to see you later." Hu Yu gently covered the quilt for King Zhao.

The weak King Zhao nodded slightly, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Hu Yu came to Zhao Qian, lowered his voice and said, "Please ask the prince to take a step to speak." ”

Zhao Qian guessed that she had state affairs to say, so he led Hu Yu to his own study.

Hu Yu said straight to the point: "I came back this time, first, to visit my father, and secondly, I was entrusted by King Qin. Now that my father is seriously ill and cannot take care of state affairs, he asks his brother to make decisions on his behalf. ”

"Then I don't know what King Qin means?" Zhao Qian asked.

"The Qin army's attack on the city this time is indeed a way, and it has no intention of taking advantage of the situation." Hu Yu said, "After hearing the news that my father was seriously ill, the handsome Yang Duanhe had already given up the city he had just captured and retreated. ”

"The Qin army has already retreated?" Zhao Qian was a little puzzled, but more was surprised.

"Exactly." Hu Yu continued, "In fact, from the very beginning, the King of Qin sent two large armies, Wang Jian was the commander in the west, and Yang Duanhe was the one who commanded the army in the north. The two armies went their separate ways and finally attacked the Xiongnu together. ”

"Brother, think about it, if the Qin State really came to the Zhao State this time, and it was Wang Jian who led the troops, I am afraid that Handan City is now in the bag of the Qin State."

Hu Yu's words are not an exaggeration, before Li Mu fought abroad, Wang Jian was a famous general who did not lose to Li Mu, and there was infighting in the court of Zhao State......

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhao Qian's forehead.

Although he is a little profligate, he is extremely smart, although he has always been on guard against Zhao Jia, but if the Zhao State is destroyed at this time, then he will not be able to be the king of Zhao either.

Hu Yu looked at Zhao Qian's eyes in a trance, so he continued: "So, the real purpose of the Qin army is the Xiongnu, if our Zhao State can open a road for the Qin army to go north, then the King of Qin is willing to sit down with us and make peace." ”

"What about the conditions?" Zhao Qian asked.

Hu Yu said with a little helplessness: "This is exactly the problem that makes King Qin a headache, he wants to negotiate peace with us, but he can't find someone who has the final say, so I asked my brother, can you do it?" ”
