At night, the entire Zhao army was completely assembled and entered the defensive positions designated by Zhao Hao, while the Qin army did not launch a substantial attack. The two sides faced each other ten miles apart. The initial stabilization of the situation made Zhao Hao feel a little comforted.

King Zhao quietly sent Le Cheng to understand the situation. Zhao Hao pointed to a large camp in front of him and said, "Yes, the Qin camp is also, the battalion is several miles away, and the soldiers are not few." "Lecheng climbed high and looked, and saw that the fire of Qinying was endless; The formation was sturdy and invulnerable, and he sighed to Zhao Hao: "General Qin, those who know the soldiers!" ”

Zhao Kuo, who had been with him all the time, said: "If the Qin army attacks me when I am not stable, what can I do? ”

Le Cheng pointed to the Qin camp in front and explained to Zhao Kuo: "I look at the formation of the Qin army, less for the generals, and more for Wu'an City. The Qin people were attacked on their backs and failed to move eastward. ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Today, if we advance, we will have little strength, and if we retreat, we will be useless." And Qin has broken my city and has been used as my aid. How? ”

Lecheng and Zhao Hao looked at each other and smiled, Zhao Hao sneered: "Wisdom is within reach, stupidity is unreachable!" Doctor's laugh! ”

Le Cheng said: "The minister knows the truth of Qin, and when he returns to the king, he will be taught sooner or later." ”

Zhao Hao said: "The ministers should be respectful!" ”

Seeing off Lecheng, the Zhao father and son returned to the camp and prepared to rest. Zhao Kuo pinched his father's feet to relieve fatigue. took the opportunity to ask: "Today's things are dull and difficult to understand, and my father teaches them!" ”

Zhao Hao said: "What do you know about what you say?" ”

Zhao Kuo said: "In the winter of last year, Qin increased his troops into Taoyi and took Gangshou; To summer and Tao Yi rule. Qi people were afraid and asked Yu Qing. Yu Qing is seeking the Mo family, and has more than ten children of the Mo family, and goes to Taoyi, pretending to be the three cities of Jidong, and the three cities of Taiyuan. Wu Zhao then got the three cities of Taiyuan, and Jidong was unharmed. Qin was angry and wanted to repay, but he said that Han Wei would be moved, and the coalition army would attack Zhao, so he would be killed. The king is a trade-off, and the courage of Jia's father is to lead the army out of the west. ”

Zhao Hao said: "You know that the son of the Mo family? ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Not only the son, Yu Ye, but also more than ten people with the crowd, all of whom are from the Mo family. ”

Zhao Hao said: "Why did you know why the Mo family helped Zhao? ”

Zhao Kuo said: "The Mo family thinks of the world and is peaceful. ”

Zhao Hao said: "If you want to cause peace, why should you provoke the dispute between Qin and Zhao?" ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Qin and Zhao, the mountains and rivers are far away, and it is not easy to fight!" ”

Zhao Hao said: "Qi is Yan and injured each other, Han, Wei, and Chu are all injured by Qin, and the male who is under today is only Zhao and Qin!" Qi and Yan were afraid of Zhao, and Han, Wei, and Chu were afraid of Qin, and they all wanted Qin and Zhao to compete and give the world a rest. ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Knowing the plans of the princes, why did Zhao Nai throw himself into the net? But the city of Taiyuan is easy, would you rather be close to Qinhu? ”

Zhao Hao kicked on the face of Zhao Kuo, who was pinching his feet, and scolded: "If you don't do anything, you can do it!" He eased his mood a little, and then explained: "In the past, the first king wanted to expand the land in Zhongshan, and the first Zen was located in the king, who was it? Out of battle without thinking of returning! It is so difficult for the first king to open up the land. In the sixteenth year, Lian Po won the Yang Jin Dynasty in a war and returned to Shangqing. I have gained wheat in three years, and I have lost it in one day. Now do not spend money and food, do not poor people's strength, and get Sanyi without fighting, although they do not give up despite all difficulties, how can they retreat because of dangers! ”

Zhao Kuo said: "The countries of Shandong, take Taiyuan to bait Zhao also." It is unwise to know the bait and eat it, and set it on fire! Zhao Ning fought against Qin Hu alone for Shandong? ”

Zhao Hao said: "Although, the fish must eat the bait, but avoid its fishing." ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Now Qin enters the suburbs of Handan, so you have to avoid it!" ”

Zhao Hao said: "Qin is deep into the heavy land, I am afraid that it will not be long enough!" ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Zhao Hao said: "Now Qin enters Handan, it is impossible to enter, there is no way to retreat, there is no way to plunder, and there will be chaos." When the king revives his army, he will be swept away! ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Ran'er's plan is not true. Qin entered Wu'an and prevented me from aiding him. If you lose it, you will retreat! How? ”

Zhao Hao smiled dumbly and said: "Fool, it's not a plan!" Yan and, Yanyi also, rare and easy to lose. Destroying the Qin army in Wu'an, why is it difficult to take the Qin? ”

Zhao Kuo said: "The coalition army is 100,000, and the Qin army in Wu'an is only 20,000 or 30,000. ”

Zhao Hao said: "It's not a plan!" The coalition army numbered 100,000, but in fact, the Qin army was 30,000 or 40,000, the Han army was 340,000, and the Wei army was thousands. Except for the Qin army, they are all old and weak. Wading far into the mountains and rivers, the veterans of the division are tired, and they have to fight! Even if you can get the city, how can you defend it? The Qin people were half in Wu'an, in order to refuse Zhao's aid; Half in Yanhe, and Han jointly attacked the rock city, the casualties will be heavy, the military strength will be exhausted, even if the city can be won, it cannot be defended. If you destroy the army of Wu'an and save it with a partial division, you will be able to succeed! ”

Zhao Kuowu said: "If you don't have to defend the city, but abandon the city to defend it, and take it again after it is tired, and keep it with you." ”

Zhao Hao was a little satisfied this time, and said, "The son can be taught." Then he retracted his feet, didn't let Zhao Kuo massage again, and said to Zhao Kuo: "It is not easy to suppress the Qin army in Wu'an." If he goes out of the valley, he will go to Handan, disturb the Beijing division, and lose a lot. ”

Zhao Kuo said: "There is no city in Gudao, why do you want to defend it?" If you don't drive it in, according to Wu'an City, you can take it on your back! ”

Zhao Hao slapped Zhao Kuo on the head again, and said angrily: "Stupid! But when you enter Wu'an City, Qin will enter Handan! ”

Zhao Kuo didn't dare to protect the pain, and said with his hands crossed: "Fei'er dares to say anything." But the plains of Taniguchi, there is no danger to rely on, what can I do to defend it? ”

Zhao Hao said: "Do you know anything? The world is the only thing that is difficult, and it should be done. There is a town ten miles away, and a country thirty miles away, so why is it difficult? Qin's belly is backed by the enemy, and he goes abroad for thousands of miles, and his difficulty is nothing less than hundreds of thousands, you are a Qin general, what can he do? ”

Zhao Kuo bowed his head and said: "Son's ambition!" "

Zhao Hao said: "Although there are few children, we should also take a long time to go, and we should not ignore it!" “

Zhao Kuo said: "Oh! “

Zhao Hao said: "With the lowest soldiers, the same food and clothing, can you?" “

Zhao Kuo said: "Son should do it!" “

Zhao Hao said: "There is no seat in the room, there is no ride, the food is won by the person, and the labor is shared with the soldiers." Huh? “

Zhao Kuo said: "Son should do it!" “

Zhao Hao said angrily: "Get up and do it, okay? “

Zhao Kuo said: "I pity my father and the old man, and I can't bear to abandon my ears!" “

Zhao Hao said: "As a general, how can you be old and sick?" “

Zhao Kuo crossed his hands and saluted, exited the house, walked out of the gate, and saw a soldier guarding the door with a halberd. Zhao Kuo asked, "Where do you see at night?" “

The halberd replied, "No." “

Zhao Kuo touched the soldier's body and said, "He Yizhi is thin!" He took off his robe and put it on the soldier. The halberd did not dare to accept it, and made a sound. The hundreds of people who inspected would come to check, and when they saw that it was Zhao Kuo, they hurriedly saluted. Zhao Kuo pointed to the robe and said, "By order, this robe is for those who hold halberds." Anyone who wears a halberd and is cold can wear it; Warmth is passed on to others! “

Hundreds of people will cross their hands and say: "Oh! He turned back to the halberd and said: "But the two of you change their clothes to each other, the cold body is the clothes, and the warm body is the change!" What's more! “

The two halberds said in unison: "Wow! “

Zhao Kuo came to the camp of the middle camp and sat by the fire with everyone, pulling idle pieces with each other. Zhao Hao came out to patrol the camp, and saw Zhao Kuo giving up his robe and roasting the fire with the soldiers, but did not come over, but walked towards another camp.

In just one night, Zhao Kuo realized what it means to live like a year. The weather was extremely cold, the cold wind accompanied by the drowsiness came in, and the non-stop beating campfire was the only consolation. Experienced veterans came over and asked four or five people to sit in a circle, leaning against each other and warming each other with their body temperatures. Zhao Kuo finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep while sitting.

At dawn the next day, the drums beat loudly in the camp, and the camps awoke from their silence. The hundred people will take the robes and return them to Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo told him that this robe was a robe for halberders, and if he needed it, he could go back to Handan to get it. And when the hundred men believed it, they took away their robes and kept the soldiers who guarded the tent from the cold.

After ordering the army, Zhao Kuo returned to the big tent, and Zhao Hao pointed to a lamp and said, "Drink this ginger soup!" Zhao Kuo picked it up, drank it all, and warmed up from his heart. Zhao Hao said: "As a general, not only the same as a soldier, but like a cold winter fire, light up people's hearts, warm the people's will, and guide the way forward!" Thou shalt reluctantly! ”

Zhao Kuo said: "Son should do it!" ”

The generals will enter the big tent and report that all the soldiers are all right, and that each of them is sick. Zhao Hao ordered to build a fortress along the river today. The order of action of the armies was laid down. The generals were ordered to go.

After the account was dispersed, Zhao Hao said to Zhao Kuo: "Each battalion builds a fortress, and you should be the leader." Zhao Kuo responded, received the festival charm, and came to the front.

The 1,000 men were very experienced, and 500 men crossed the river to guard and 500 men dug in the river to build fortifications. Rotate after half a day.

Hu Yang saw the Zhao army building a fortress along the river in the city, sent a few people to patrol the sentry, shot a few arrows, and went back. In the afternoon, Hu Yang sent several battalions to occupy several settlements along the road leading to Gukou. In the west, several battalions were also sent to occupy the settlements on both sides of the road. Wu'an City also constantly sent people to harass, only shooting a burst of arrows at each other, each separated, and not in close combat.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zheng Anping and Chen Si sneaked out of the valley to the south to find their way to Handan.

Unlike the host road, which is a sloping area, to the south is a swamp country. Xiang Xiang took a boat and went down the river, and entered the Zhanghe River in half a day. Out of the Great Wall, on the other side is Ye. Although the Qin army was found in Wu'an, the Great Wall was not very nervous, but the opening time was shortened by two hours: it opened at dawn and closed when the sun went down. Ye on the other side of the river is even more business as usual.

After entering Ye, Chen Si found a caravan from Chen to Handan to do business, pretended to be a merchant and asked to go with them. Although Zheng Anping did not hold Chen Yin, Chu Yin and Zheng Yin did not arouse more suspicion. The few who Qin Yin could only not speak.

The next day, everyone crossed the river by boat, and when the Great Wall of Zhao was opened, everyone passed in turn. The checkpoints are not strictly checked, and basically as long as they pay taxes, they can pass. Those who have goods are one hundred, and those who have no goods need to pay a penny, and Zhao people can be tax-free with festival charms.

Zheng Anping had already handed over all the taxes needed by his party to the businessman on the first day, and he paid them all today. Due to the large number of people, he is also more familiar with Guanshang, so he can pay less, and he also avoids a lot of trouble.
