In front of this burly king, a sturdy general with the same armor paced back and forth, as if he had no restraint in front of his own king: "King, the war between Qin and Chu has been decided, and the pattern of the world is about to change again." ”

The burly king bowed his head slightly, still staring at the letter in his hand, thoughtful.

This burly and handsome king is none other than Zhao Yong, the sixth monarch of Zhao - and the famous King of Zhao Wuling in later generations.

And that sturdy general, whose name is Feiyi, is the confidant general of Zhao Yong, the king of Zhao Wuling, and a sibling with a different surname who can be entrusted with his life.

Twenty years have passed since the death of Marquis Zhao Su and the accession of Zhao Yong.

In the past 20 years, Zhao Yong deeply felt the poverty and backwardness of Zhao State, so he worked hard and made great efforts to introduce a series of military reforms called 'Hufu Cavalry and Archery', which have been quite effective so far.

And Fei Yi, who has followed Zhao Yong's southern expedition to the north in the past twenty years, and has even saved Zhao Yong's life many times - naturally he is a first-class henchman.

Zhao Yong put down the letter in his hand and exclaimed: "This Marquis of Quyang of Chu State is also a person who knows soldiers...... Fat Yi, tell me, how does this person compare with the widow? ”

Fei Yi was stunned at first, and then grinned: "The king said that he was smiling." ”

"Even if the Marquis of Quyang of Chu State uses his troops well, how can he be compared with the king?"

"Since the king's accession to the throne, my Zhao State has been very effective, subduing the Linhu and Loufu tribes to the north, and subduing the elite cavalry of Rong Di for my use...... The war against the country of Nakayama was also won repeatedly. ”

"Just last year, the king led three armies and attacked Zhongshan on a large scale and captured a large territory...... No matter how strong Xiong Liang is, he can only win for a while, but the king is focusing on the achievements of the Great Zhao Kingdom! ”

"Is there any comparison?" Fei Yi said with a smile.

That Zhao Yong smiled and stroked his beard, and his words were indeed quite useful.

Zhao Wangyong is an out-and-out 'king on the horse'.

Since his accession to the throne, he has led his troops to the east and west many times, especially after the 'Hufu cavalry shooting', Zhao's national strength has been unprecedentedly strong.

And the point is - King Zhao Wuling is very reluctant! Strong and strong!

For example, when the six kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Han, Qi, Yan, and Chu fought in the Central Plains, the Zhao State curled up in the north and has been developing obscenely - expanding its territory to the north and subduing the Hu tribes for its own use.

At the same time, regardless of the disturbances in the Central Plains, he is wholeheartedly engaged in Zhongshan Kingdom.

The First Danyang War of Qin and Chu in the south, the Great Battle of Hanging Sand between Qi, Wei and Han and the Qin-Chu Alliance, the Battle of Qi of the Kingdoms, and the Second Danyang War...... The fight was in full swing, and a series of wars and vicious battles attracted everyone's attention, but only Zhao Guo has been making a fortune in a muffled voice.

Now Zhao's national strength has been unprecedentedly strong, and in terms of military strength alone, in fact, it is no longer inferior to any other powerful country...... But Zhao remained infamous.

The main thing is a lewd development! No waves!

Fei Yi said with some resentment: "This letter from the Chu State, between the lines, is arrogant, and he has already regarded himself as the overlord of the Central Plains. ”

"The old minister really can't look at it!"

"That is, Nanchu does not border my Da Zhao...... Otherwise, the king led 100,000 cavalry south to the Central Plains and slapped this Chu man back to his original form...... I want to see what kind of confidence this acacia still has to shout there?! ”

Zhao Yong laughed, and finally shook his head slowly: "Don't worry...... At present, my only goal is to completely destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom! ”

"At that time, the national strength of my Zhao State will be greatly improved again - and then a long and short time with the Central Plains countries!"

Feiyi also knew the temperament of his own king, so he also gave his hand to show that he was taught.

Zhao Yong looked at the south from afar and muttered to himself: "There are such strange people in the Chu State...... If this Quyang Marquis can be used by my Great Zhao Kingdom, how good it would be......"

……

Wuguan.

Xiong Wuliang was enjoying the barbecue with Shaohu and Zhong Hua, when he suddenly sneezed one after another.

Grandma drops, who is scolding me behind my back?

Xiong Wuliang blew his nose and continued to turn the bamboo sticks in his hand......

On the bamboo skewers, there are skewers of fat mutton, and the thick aroma of mutton is roasted on the charcoal fire.

The golden hot mutton fat dripped into the flames, causing the noses of the three people next to them, Peony Tiger, Zhong Hua, and Xiao Hei, to move, like three hungry wolves.

Zhao slip is sitting upright, a gentleman's style...... But his eyes were also firmly fixed on Xiong Wuliang's hand, revealing the truth of his greed.

It is said that since Bai Qi and others passed the level, this martial pass has completely quieted down.

Although the battle had been over, Xiong Wuliang did not give the order for a long time.

The reason is also very simple - before Yingdu sends someone to take over the defense of Wuguan, it is necessary to ensure that there is at least one defender of Wuguan.

Because the people of the Qin State are really not credible - don't look at the armistice agreement that has been reached, and it is said in black and white that Wuguan is now owned by the Chu State...... Maybe the people of the Qin State will suddenly come and stab them.

Don't be careful!

Anyway, so far, Qin Guo doesn't seem to have any tendency to turn his face and deny people - Qin Guo is honest. Like a wolf that has been whipped, he cowered in the corner and silently licked his wounds.

And the 7,000 soldiers of the New Army under Xiong Wuliang lived a comfortable life in Wuguan-

There are warm barracks in Wuguan, piles of firewood, and enough food storage...... In addition, during the previous war, the soldiers of the Chu army 'borrowed' the beef, mutton and livestock from the villagers of the Qin State...... It's been a beautiful day.

To say that the Quyang New Army had a really hard time this winter - first in the Gaoqian camp, camped in the ice and snow for two months to confront the Qin army.

Then there are all kinds of snow raids, all kinds of big battles.

After three months in a row, I finally don't have to live in a cramped military tent or a plow, and I am back to living in a sturdy and spacious barracks...... It's so cool!

If you think about it, there will be rewards after returning to your hometown...... The soldiers of the Quyang New Army are even more peaceful and joyful.

In addition to guarding the military pass, every day is to drink hot water, roast some pigs and sheep, and calculate how much reward you can get from the lord for your merits......

Just enjoy life day after day, and half a month has passed...... The air has gradually warmed, and the snow on the ground, which was already thick, has gradually thinned.

……

Xiong Wuliang lazily sprinkled salt on the lamb skewers in a very extravagant motion, and then divided the hot meat skewers with everyone......

Fragrant!

Scald!

Bite into the tender lamb and feel the texture of the mixture of fat and lean meat, which is already grilled crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. When I bite into it, it burns people again and again, but I am reluctant to spit out the delicious delicacy in my mouth.

Sizzle!

Even Zhao Hua had to admit that although his lord was very lazy and rarely made anything to eat, he occasionally made some food by himself, and the taste was really unforgettable!

It stands to reason that with Xiong Wuliang's noble status, he really shouldn't cook himself.

The so-called 'gentleman is far away from cooking', which is not an empty word in this era - like Xiong Wuliang's dignified identity as Quyang Hou, he actually started the barbecue himself, if it is spread out, it will be laughed at.

But here are all their own subordinates, retainers, and in the barracks...... There are not so many rules. Zhong Hua, Shaohu, Xiao Hei, and Zhaohua ate with their mouths full of oil, and they actually killed more than 30 skewers of mutton skewers in three or two clicks, and then looked at Xiong Wuliang with a blank eye......
