At this time, Wu Chen had stationed troops in Yi County. Not long ago, he had disposed of the magistrate and county magistrate of Yi County, which caused quite a stir. Some people supported and some opposed it. For a time, there was an undercurrent in Yi County, and the internal affairs of Zhang Chu's army were surging.

Contradictions gradually emerged.

But at this time, the military officials already had an army of fifty thousand. For such a huge army, a small civil unrest was not enough to destroy this army. In the past few days, Zhang Chujun was rigorously training soldiers and horses in the school field, and supervised the production from Anyang

A batch of weapons was obtained and distributed to the soldiers of the three armies.

It can be said that Wu Chen's army is gradually transforming from a bandit army to a regular army. At this time, Wu Chen is sitting high on the martial arts viewing platform in the school ground. On the side are the generals and counselors. Everyone is sitting in two rows, watching the martial arts performance below.

.

For Zhang Chu's army, which lacked cavalry, most of the main force of the military officials were armed with long swords. They also had their own chaotic sword formations. Although they looked chaotic, this formation was extremely lethal to the Qin army, and it was used in several large-scale battles.

, it has also been quite effective.

But watching them perform martial arts was not the real purpose of the military official. He just wanted to boost morale by watching the three armies. This was Zhang Er's suggestion to him.

At this time, Wu Chen felt a little tired. He stood up and stretched his body. Zhang Er laughed and said: "General, I think that after we capture Fan Yang, we should immediately go north and march towards Zhuoxian County. We have reached the border of Zhuoxian County.

Establish defense, at least for now, it will not be easy for us to expand further north."

Wu Chen didn't understand Zhang Er's opinion. He couldn't help but stare at Zhang Er and said in surprise: "Why do you say this?"

Zhang Er saw that the military minister did not understand the mystery, so he laughed and said: "If we develop further north, the front will be too long and it will be difficult for us to control it. Moreover, if Handan does not fall, it will be a thorn in our back and may affect us at any time.

Our foundation is in Zhao land."

The military minister listened to what Zhang Er said and nodded slightly. At this time, Zhang Er said again: "Moreover, we have fifty thousand troops at this time. We can return to kill Handan County by surprise. Now that Handan is down, we can divide our troops and advance. Why worry?

Can’t all the Zhao lands be wiped out?”

When Wu Chen heard this, he was completely conquered by Zhang Er's suggestion. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Sir, what you said is very wonderful!"

At this time, a cavalryman came quickly on his horse and approached the martial arts stage. The cavalryman dismounted and ran quickly to the martial arts stage. He knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "General, the envoys are waiting at the county government office. Please invite the general."

Come back quickly!"

"Messenger?" Wu Chen was a little surprised. What news would the envoy come to at this time?

With doubts, Wu Chen looked at Zhang Er, who was also confused and could only shake his head slightly, saying that he didn't know. Wu Chen stopped thinking about it and immediately ordered: "Prepare your horses, I want to go back to the county government office!"

...

In the county government office, a court envoy was also anxiously wandering around. Soon, Wu Chen walked in quickly with his generals. When the court envoy saw Wu Chen, he said happily: "Hurry, Wu Chen has accepted the order."

When the military official walked ten steps away from the envoy, he knelt on one knee. Behind him, all the generals knelt down one by one. At this time, the military official said loudly: "The last general will receive the order."

The envoy opened the bamboo slips and read with a smile: "I have received news that the military ministers have made great achievements north of the Yellow River and have tens of thousands of troops. This is commendable and congratulatory. However, I have ordered Zhou Wen to send troops to Hangu Pass and advance towards Guanzhong.

The generals and military ministers should not be in love with Zhao for a long time. They should swear to march westward, echo Zhou Wenyao, and jointly destroy the Qin Dynasty. In the future, they will make great achievements, which can represent the descendants of your descendants and enjoy generous rewards forever. Don't let me down... So far, I commend you.

The military minister is Lord Wu Xin. I hope you will continue your efforts and sing a triumphant song soon."

After the envoy finished reading, he looked at the military minister and said with a smile: "General, get up."

Wu Chen stood up and took the imperial edict. At this time, the envoy smiled and cupped his hands: "Then I will not disturb Lord Wu Xin. Your Majesty is still waiting for my return."

"Slow down!" Wu Chen stopped the envoy, turned around and said to Chen Yuling: "Go and get one hundred yi of gold. I want to thank the envoy very much."

"Don't dare to accept this, Mr. Wu Xin, you don't have to be polite." The envoy waved his hand and smiled, but Wu Chen refused, so the envoy could only smile and nod, and followed Chen Yu away.

There was a brief silence in the county government office, and the military official was also immersed in the joy of being knighted. Soon, the military official woke up from the joy. At this time, he looked at Zhang Er aside and said in surprise: "The king wants me to go west? Then Zhao Zhao

What to do with the land? There are so many places, how can we do it without heavy troops guarding them!"

Zhang Er smiled and said: "Why are you so anxious, Mr. Wu Xin? Your Majesty has your orders, and of course we cannot resist him. But at the moment, Guangyang County has not been pacified, Handan has not been captured, and the Zhao territory has not been stabilized. Of course, we can refuse your Majesty, even if your Majesty sends envoys to interrogate you."

Responsibility, we can also rely on this to say, I hope Mr. Wu Xin will not worry."

Seeing that what Zhang Er said was true, the military minister felt a little relieved. At this time, he looked at the generals and ordered: "Go and prepare. In the next few days, we will march towards Fan Yang."

Everyone left, except Zhang Er. At this time, Chen Yu also came back and nodded to Wu Chen, indicating that the envoy had been sent away. Wu Chen felt exhausted. He took a deep breath and walked to the soft seat.

He sat down and pointed to the soft mat beside him, motioning for the two of them to sit down. The two were not polite and sat down respectively. At this time, a personal attendant walked in, clasped his hands and said loudly: "General, the county

There is a man outside the Yamen who calls himself Kuai Che and asks to see the general."

The military minister was slightly surprised and asked: "Who is Kuai Che?"

The personal attendant replied: "He claims that he has a way for the general to pacify Zhao and stabilize Hebei within a few months."

"Oh? Does this person have such ability?" Wu Chen couldn't help laughing. At this time, his eyes had fallen on Zhang Er and Chen Yu. They were also slightly surprised and didn't believe it. Does this person have such ability?

?

After a short silence, Chen Yu said with a smile: "If this person really has such ability, he must be a useful talent. Why don't Mr. Wu Xin keep him under the curtain? He can be reused in the future."

Wu Chen also had this intention, and he loudly ordered: "Bring him to see me."

Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a green robe walked in quickly. The young man came to the military minister, raised his hands and said, "I have met the general, Kuai Che."

Seeing Kuai Che's extraordinary behavior, Wu Chen felt good about him. He pointed to the soft mat beside him and said with a smile: "Sir, you have come a long way, so you might as well sit down and have a rest first."

"Thank you, General." Kuai Che saluted and came to sit on the soft mat. At this time, he looked at the other two people in the room and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Who are these two?"

Wu Chen pointed at the two men and said with a smile: "They are my counselors and generals. One is named Zhang Er and the other is named Chen Yu."

Kuai Che hurriedly bowed to the two of them and said with a smile: "I've heard about his name a long time ago, but I just got to see him today. I'm really lucky!"

The two of them also returned the gift. At this time, two personal attendants brought four cups of tea and placed them in front of everyone. Everyone took a few cups of tea and drank a few sips. Kuai Che also took the opportunity of drinking tea to think about his words.

, and soon he said with a smile: "I am here this time, and I have a clever plan to offer to the general. I can pacify Guangyang County in an instant and march the army to Handan. I wonder if the general is willing to listen?"

"Hahaha, I can't get what I asked for. Please give me some advice, sir." The military minister took a low profile and asked Kuai Che for advice.

Kuai Che thought for a while and said with a smile: "General, as he went north, did any counties and counties resist on a large scale? Did any counties and counties surrender in admiration?"

The military official pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that the common people organized themselves to kill county guards, kill officials, and surrender the city. It seems that no one in the Qin army is willing to surrender, let alone resist. They are eager to eradicate them.

We are happy."

Kuai Che couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wu Chen speaking frankly. After the laughter, Kuai Che narrowed his eyes slightly, looked directly at Wu Chen, and asked: "General, does he know the reason?"

The military minister thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly, but Kuai Che looked confident. He stood up and laughed and said: "With all due respect, wherever the general passes, Qin officials will undoubtedly die. The people miss their homeland and hate Qin."

The army has been tyrannical, oppressive, taxing, and doing hard work over the years. In this way, they will definitely respond openly to the general, but the Qin army does not dare to respond. The stakes are that they will die if they surrender, and if they don't surrender, they will die. Why not fight to the death?

Can the city be saved?"

Kuai Che's words were so original that no one had ever thought about it. Wu Chen, Zhang Er, Chen Yu and others all fell into deep thought. At this time, Kuai Che said again: "If the general can pardon General Qin, General Qin will be grateful.

He will definitely surrender to the general. If he can keep his rank and title, and the guards in each city, why would he want to be an enemy of the general? At that time, Zhao's territory could be captured without a single blow, and the general was returning to Handan. Why worry about the injustice of Zhao's territory and the world?

indefinite?"

Wu Chen was moved by Kuai Che's words. He stood up and wandered around the room. After a long time, he glanced sideways at Zhang Er and Chen Yu. They both nodded silently. Wu Chen then smiled and said, "Sir, are you willing to go for me?"

"

"I'm willing to serve the general!" Kuai Che stood up with his hands raised. At this time, the military official said again: "I will prepare the seal of the Marquis of De, the flag, the high chariot and the horse. Please sir lobby Fan Yang for me. If he is willing to surrender, I will be a courtesy.

Is it okay to wait for him and reinstate him to his original position, with a high chariot and a fine horse, and be granted the title of marquis?"

"That's good. If the general can appoint Fan Yangling as the vanguard, so that officials from all over the country can see the general's sincerity, I think the defenders from all over the country will rush to join the general." Kuai Che said again.

Wu Chen laughed and said: "Everything depends on Mr.!"

...

In the early morning, under Fan Yang City, the mighty Zhang Chu army marched towards Fan Yang in neat lines. On the city tower, a white flag was hung high, which was the surrender flag of Fan Yang army.

At this time, Fan Yang ordered Xu Gong to have his hands tied behind his back, and his back was covered with thorns. He walked out of the city gate. Behind him were the officials of Fan Yang County. Opposite him, where the gate flags were opened, the military ministers led the generals on their horses.

Soon, Xu Gong came to Wu Chen. Wu Chen hurriedly dismounted, personally untied the rope for Xu Gong, took down the thorns, and comforted him///// said: "Why do you have to do this, Xu Gong? From now on, I will appoint Xu Gong to guard Fan Yang forever."

To back you up.”

Xu Gong burst into tears with gratitude. He knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders."

The military minister nodded with satisfaction, took the seal of Marquis Guide from his attendant, handed it to Duke Xu, and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be Marquis Guide, and you will be responsible for guarding Guangyang County!"

Xu Gong was overjoyed. He took the seal, turned to look at Fan Yang, and shouted loudly: "Beat the drums and play music to welcome the general into the city!"

...

Three days later, Xu Gong personally rode high chariots and four horses, leading 3,000 vanguard troops to march towards Zhuoxian County. Wu Chen led the main force to follow suit. All the counties and towns along the way begged for surrender. Even Zhuoxian County was captured by Zhang Chu's army without a single blow.
