Chapter 19 The villain
"Are you saying that your two brothers joined forces to deal with you?" Zhao Fu was not surprised after hearing this. This kind of thing was not impossible.
"Yes," Zhao Qian smiled bitterly, "This trip is probably not as simple as I imagined."
Zhao Fu nodded. This was the purpose of bringing Zheng Yuan's subordinates and the Iron Arm Army. He had long felt that this trip was definitely not an easy thing. Even ordinary families would cause trouble and make life and death, not to mention that this was a major event related to the entire Zhao State.
"sorry."
After a long time, Zhao Qian apologized to Zhao Fu. He knew that because of his haste, he had dragged Zhao Fu into this huge vortex.
"How do you feel after seeing the war?" Zhao Fu left the topic aside.
"Not very good." Zhao Qian shook his head repeatedly. When he recalled it, he seemed to smell the smell of death and felt nauseous.
"That's good." Zhao Fu smiled.
"Hmm?" Zhao Qian was puzzled.
Zhao Fu did not answer him immediately, but answered the matter that Zhao Qian had previously suggested that he had been implicated.
"Zhongzhou is a huge vortex. Since the founding of the Zhao family here, this matter has been destined. No matter how hard it is, this vortex will always stir everything around you, me, and Lanting into the northwest... It's just a matter of time sooner or later." Zhao Fu sighed. Although the founding of the Zhao family was not the fuse of the entire incident, it was also the spark that ignited. All this is destined to be unavoidable. Instead of waiting for the vortex to get bigger and bigger, it's better to come in earlier. At least there is a chance of tranquility in the center of the vortex.
"But this will kill many people..." Zhao Qian almost vomited again.
"What's the dead...just get used to it." Zhao Fu said lightly.
"Teacher, don't you care at all?" Zhao Qian was puzzled. In his opinion, Zhao Fu was not a person who treated human life as a mustard.
"Of course I care." Zhao Fu answered very quickly, without any hesitation.
"But, there are wild beasts that are hungry in troubled times. You can only feed them with human lives." Zhao Fu said this. He heard this from Xia Yingyang. At first, he didn't understand why Xia Yingyang described it like this, but later he slowly understood it. When he looked at the list of the fallen soldiers after pacifying the Beihu.
For peace, sacrifice is inevitable. This is not a big truth, but it is extremely humble and inferior. For peace, you can deprive others of your rights in life and give them the crime of death.
Zhao Fu also knew that he, who was actually commanding hundreds of thousands of troops in the northwest, was a despicable villain. Soldiers were the most pitiful profession. They were just offering sacrifices to the beast in exchange for something called peace. They were just chess pieces.
Fortunately, when everyone is despicable, this feeling of guilt becomes much gentler.
"It is a good thing that you don't like dead people. If you don't like dead people, you can fight less. If you don't like dead people, you won't feel that bad here." Zhao Fu poked Zhao Qian's chest.
"Teacher, you're a little strange today." Zhao Qian was poked and hurt a little. He covered his chest and said.
"It's nothing, I just remembered myself when I first started killing. I was like you and wanted to vomit." Zhao Fu said.
"Ah, it turns out that you can vomit too, teacher. How much have you vomited, don't lie!" Zhao Qian suddenly became excited.
"I didn't spit it out, I got used to it very quickly." Zhao Fu did not satisfy Zhao Qian's self-comparison.
"The teacher is the teacher, you are better than me!" Zhao Qian curled his lips.
"But I envy you very much. You are good at this. Unlike me, you have more than 100,000 lives." Zhao Fu told the truth.
"You are awesome!" Zhao Qianquan thought Zhao Fu was running him.
In his opinion, Zhao Fu is indeed a great man. How could such a great man envy him? He must be using different ways to mock him. Zhao Qian quietly did not plan to continue this topic.
"Master, the counting is completed." At this time, Zheng Yuan had just finished counting the granary of Geyang City.
"How much food is left?" Zhao Fu asked.
"A lot, enough for us to fight to Zhongzhou City." Zheng Yuan reported.
"Okay, we will take a day off, and we will continue to rush tomorrow morning." Zhao Fu thought for a while, but decided to take a day off first.
After all, I have been rushing for eight days and have walked a lot of night roads. Even if these are veterans, they cannot withstand this long struggle.
"It's time?" Zheng Yuan asked. He knew that Zhao Fu was in a hurry this time.
"The plan has changed, and the raid cannot be fought." Zhao Fu explained.
Indeed, it can be seen from Geyang City that it is already prepared that at least the second and third heirs of the Zhao family are still guarded against Zhao Qian, the first heir. When the other party is already prepared, he still walks all day long, exhausts the soldiers and goes to deliver vegetables? Since the surprise attack cannot be achieved, he can only attack the front.
Fortunately, Zhao Fu is never afraid of facing others.
Zhao Fu is ready to fight a long-term tug-of-war, and Geyang City will become his important stronghold in this tug-of-war. He just wrote to Feng Yu, asking him to transfer people from the northwest to help him guard this Geyang City as his base in Zhao State.
"Then we?" Zheng Yuan asked for instructions.
"We fought all the way upright." Zhao Fu laughed.
"I understand." Zheng Yuan immediately started to make arrangements after hearing this.
"Zhao Qian." After instructing Zheng Yuan, Zhao Fu needed to make several other preparations.
"Here! What's wrong?" Zhao Qian replied.
"How much power can you connect with now?" Zhao Fu asked.
"Not many, most of my people had withdrawn from Zhongzhou City in advance in order to preserve their strength. The Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry is now almost divided up by Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang and others..." Zhao Qian looked puzzled. He thought Zhao Fu wanted his side to help send troops.
He is different from the two brothers Zhao Yu and Zhao Yang. Although he is the first heir and has twenty-five shopkeepers support him, he has not had much opportunity to cultivate the power in Zhongzhou City because he has been in Lanting City before. The most important thing is that he has no military power, which has led to him still having to rely on Zhao Fu's power.
If this is not the case, he wouldn't have to call Zhao Fu at all. He could just return to Zhongzhou City and succeed him directly.
"I want you to help me find out about the opponent's defense situation. Can this be done?" Zhao Fu asked, at least in war, you must know yourself and your enemy. He must understand the strength of the opponent.
"There is no problem with this, just ask someone for a question." Zhao Qian agreed.
"Well, there is one more thing I can't figure it out. You go and investigate it." Zhao Fu continued.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Qian asked.
