At the end of the feast, there is a day of separation.

As the sun rose high and all the soldiers packed their bags, Zhao Kuo stepped on the war horse again, turned around and hugged his fists and said, "Take care, everyone." ”

"Take care!" The crowd saluted.

Zhao Kuo's horse whip pointed forward: "Let's go, Handan!" ”

Looking at Zhao Kuo's figure walking farther and farther, everyone felt a little sad in their hearts, this time they said goodbye, and the next time they met, they might be enemies......

……

"Lord, Qi is back."

As soon as the army arrived in Anyi, Liu Ping walked in with a person, who was Menkeqi who had returned to Handan with Ben.

"What about my mother." Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked.

"My lord, the old lady has already settled outside the city, but the old lady has always asked you to rush back as soon as possible." Qi said.

"Thank you for your hard work, you can stay here and go back with the army." Zhao Kuo said.

"No."

"Marshal, the Qin army has brought 200,000 stone grain and grass, and asked for Hu Yang and Sima Jin to be released first." At this time, Li Mu, who was still in Pusaka and had not set off, sent someone to deliver a letter.

The Zhao army had a total of 300,000 troops, and there were countless loads of grain and grass, so it was impossible to set off at the same time. Zhao Kuo was not at ease with others, so he left Li Mu at the end, responsible for transporting grain and grass, and negotiating with the Qin army.

"Give Zheng Anping to Qin Guo, and in addition, tell Qin Guo when the remaining 300,000 stones will be sent over, and when Hu Yang and Sima Jin will be sent over." Zhao Kuo said.

As long as Sima Jin is still in his hands, with Sima Wrong's position in the Qin State, even if he doesn't open his mouth, the Qin State will desperately gather food for Sima Jin to exchange for back.

Yavin

Zhao Kuo originally planned to persuade Hu Yang, Sima Jin, and Zheng Anping to surrender. Although the three of them are not as famous as those famous generals, they can leave their names in history after all, and no matter how bad they are, how bad can they be.

However, compared with the military generals, Zhao Guo is now more short of food and grass, and in desperation, Zhao Kuo can only return the three to Qin State in exchange for more needed food.

"Hopefully I'll catch it next time." Zhao Kuo thought to himself.

No monarch would dislike the talent of his men.

The army marched to Hanoi, and Zhao Kuo ordered Feng Ting to lead an army of 5,000 to the north to take over the party.

……

"King, no, Zhao Kuo is back with the army." Lou Chang rushed in from outside the palace in a panic, and the guards on both sides pounced in front of King Zhao before he could react.

"What? Where is the army now? King Zhao stood up and asked in a panic.

"It's almost time to get to Zhongmu." Lou Chang said.

"How good is this, how good is this!"

King Zhao panicked instantly, kept muttering in his mouth, pacing back and forth in the hall, his two eyebrows almost twisted together, and he couldn't think of a good way after thinking about it for a long time.

In the end, he set his eyes on Lou Chang, "Aiqing has a way?" ”

"King, then Zhao Kuo is good friends with Lin Xiangru and Pingyuan Jun, it is better to send them to meet with Zhao Kuo and trick Zhao Kuo into the city. Then ambush the sword and axe men in the city, and wait for Zhao Kuo to enter the city......"

Lou Chang made a gesture with a knife in his hand, and a sinister smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen the scene of Zhao Kuo's head.

"Lin Xiangru and Pingyuan-kun won't agree." King Zhao shook his head, "Besides, if Zhao Kuo returns from defeat, this king still has a reason to put him to death." Now that Zhao Kuo has returned from a great victory, if this king kills him, how can he explain to the people of the world? ”

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhao Guo will lose the battle for the party. He thought that he would send Zhao Kuo to the party, and after Zhao Kuo was defeated, he would be executed, but he didn't expect that Zhao Kuo would win in the end!

Now he has no reason to punish Zhao Kuo, not only is there no reason, but he also wants to reward Zhao Kuo.

Thinking of the reward, King Zhao had another headache, he delayed it again and again, saying that he would wait for the reward to be awarded after the fight, but now he finally couldn't drag it out......

"King, when is this coming, it doesn't matter what the people in the world think, if you wait any longer, Zhao Kuo will hit the city. After the big deal, everyone was silenced, and then announced to the public that Zhao Kuo was sick and dead, even if some people doubted it, they would not avenge a dead man. Lou Chang said loudly.

"Then how do you convince Lin Xiangru and Pingyuan-kun? There was absolutely no way that the two of them would agree to this plan. King Zhao said.

Lin Xiangru didn't know Zhao Kuo's identity, the king needed to tell him part of it first, and then admit his mistake, saying that it had caused Zhao Kuo's misunderstanding, and hoped that he would adjust it, and Lin Xiangru would not refuse. Pingyuanjun did not want another turmoil in Zhao State, and he would not refuse. ”

"The king can even tell the two that they are willing to give up the throne to Zhao Kuo, as long as they can trick him into the city and kill him, these promises do not need to be fulfilled."

"Lin Gong is seriously ill and doesn't have much time to live. As a royal family, Pingyuanjun will not spread this kind of family ugliness. The rest of the people involved, as long as they are secretly disposed of afterwards, no one will know. Lou Chang said quickly.

"Order, immediately invite Lin Qing and Pingyuanjun into the palace." King Zhao made up his mind.

……

The army marched to Yecheng, and Zhao Kuo left Meng Fu and 5,000 troops to take over Yecheng and the nineteen surrounding cities ceded by Wei.

The order of the King of Wei has arrived here, and there were no accidents in the delivery process.

Although the Wei officials were a little curious as to why the people sent by the Zhao State to deliver the city did not take out the order of the King of Zhao, but the order of the general Zhao Kuo.

But I didn't think about it, anyway, they were only responsible for the delivery, and then it had nothing to do with them.

Even if something goes wrong, King Zhao can't blame them.

As for the people, they have long been accustomed to changing the banner of the king at the head of the city, and no one cares who will be the king, they only care about whether this year's harvest is good or not, and whether this year's conscription is heavy.

"We must be vigilant to prevent a sneak attack by Wei and South Korea." Before leaving, Zhao Kuo admonished.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are too many examples of two countries forming an alliance today and fighting tomorrow, although the Three Jin Dynasty has just won a big victory, and the focus of Wei and Korea for a period of time must be on digesting the land they have just obtained, but no one can guarantee when they will turn their faces.

"The people are in the city." Meng Fu said solemnly.

He didn't expect Zhao Kuo to take such a fancy to himself and hand over Yecheng to him to guard.

He has already lost the city once, and he must not lose the second one, otherwise he will not have the face to continue to live.

"You're more important than the city." Zhao Kuo patted Meng Wei's shoulder, and then turned over on the horse.

"The last general will never disappoint the commander." Meng Wei looked at Zhao Kuo's back and said loudly.

Crossing Yecheng, it didn't take long for Zhao Kuo to see a big river in front of him, and on the other side of the river was a Great Wall that stretched endlessly and could not be seen at a glance.

This big river is called Zhangshui, which is the dividing line between the Zhao and Wei states, with the north of Zhangshui being the Zhao state and the south of Zhangshui being the Wei state.

Because Handan is located on the border of Zhao, it often faces threats from Wei, and has even been captured by Wei (in the eighteenth year of King Hui, Handan. Zhao asked Yu Qi to save him), so Zhao built the Great Wall on the north bank of Zhangshui to resist the invasion of Wei.

There are not many defenders on the Zhangshui Great Wall, most of them are old pawns, and there are some children who have not grown up. They were very excited to see the army, and they walked down the Great Wall one after another, standing on the side of the road to greet Zhao Kuo.

"I only hate that it wasn't the general who led us back then, otherwise those companions wouldn't be the only one who has survived to this day." An old man looked at Zhao Kuo and cried.

Zhao Kuo rode on a horse and saluted them with fists, and the old soldiers also returned the salute.

Crossing the Zhangshui and the Great Wall, Zhao Kuo soon saw Handan City.

"Dashuai, King Zhao has been prepared for a long time." Pang Xuan stepped forward and walked to Zhao Kuo's side and said.

I saw that the gate of Handan was closed, and the city was full of soldiers who were waiting for the battle, pointing bows and arrows at the city, and they could attack at any time.

"Do you want to attack?" Li Mu looked at Zhao Kuo.

If Zhao Kuo did not have the identity of Wang Sun, Li Mu would not follow Zhao Kuo to rebel even if he had a good relationship with Zhao Kuo.

But now, all Li Mu was thinking about was how to pull King Zhao off the throne and let Zhao Kuo sit on it.

The vast majority of officers and men in the army are also like this.

Identity is too important in this day and age.

Otherwise, the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in history would not have raised the banner of Chu and Fusu.

"Who is under the city? Want to rebel? At this moment, there was a loud shout from the city.

"Order, soldiers besiege Handan." Zhao Kuo's indifferent voice spread throughout the entire army.
