An unprecedented war broke out between Qin and Zhao to compete for Shangdang.
Known in history as the Battle of Changping.
Lian Po, the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army, was defeated again and again, losing troops and generals. Rumors spread in the city of Handan, and the people talked a lot.
The King of Zhao was furious and ordered his son Zhao Kuo to replace Lian Po as the commander-in-chief of the Zhao army and attack the Qin army.
Next, if nothing unexpected happens...
There was an accident...
…
Handan.
In the midsummer of July, the blazing and vicious sun scorches the earth mercilessly, and there is not a single cloud in the sky.
Wisps of steaming hot air rushed out from the cracks in the soil, converging into a heat wave more than ten feet high, rolling happily among the rubble of the earth wall, jumping, and constantly hitting the cheeks, bringing bursts of burning sensation. pain.
A four-horse carriage came galloping from a distance.
"Master, just turn a corner and you'll reach Wangzhujun's Mansion." The driver held the reins with one hand and pointed forward with the other.
Zhao Kuo stood on the carriage, holding Shi in both hands, looking at the ancient city of Handan more than two thousand years ago.
Large areas of low-rise buildings are gathered together, giving off a gray-white luster under the reflection of the sun. Pieces of walls are peeling off, and the earthen walls are mottled and uneven, as if they have been graffitied at random.
Occasionally, you can see old men in coarse cloth sitting in twos and threes under the shade of the trees, sharing some after-dinner conversation. Only when the carriage passes by them will they raise their heads and take a look.
The entire city of Handan is shrouded in a layer of twilight...
"Have you heard that the front line has been defeated again? I don't know how many people died."
"Hey, my boy is serving as a soldier for the first time. I don't know if he can come back alive."
"General Lian Po is getting old after all. Let me tell you, only Ma Fuzi in Zhao State can defeat Qin State."
"If Ma Fuzi leads the army in battle, I will definitely follow him."
"I heard from my neighbor on duty in the palace that the king has appointed Ma Fuzi as the commander-in-chief of our army."
"real or fake?"
"of course it's true."
"Our country, Zhao, is finally saved!"
…
Zhao Kuo shook his head helplessly. He really didn't know whether these people were innocent or stupid for actually believing that he could defeat Qin.
"Qin's ability to spread rumors is really terrifying." Zhao Kuo's sense of crisis rose again.
Three people become tigers. At first, no one may believe the rumors of the Qin State, but as more people spread the rumors, it seemed that Zhao Kuo really became the savior of the Zhao State.
If he hadn't known that Zhao Kuo was defeated in history and 400,000 soldiers were buried alive, he might have believed it himself.
"Perhaps Zhao Kuo in history lost himself in the sound of handsome boys."
Compared with Qin, Zhao's intelligence system is rubbish. Not to mention spreading rumors, they don't even know that the Qin army's coach has been replaced.
Zhao Kuo really felt sad for his predecessor.
"Bah, I should feel sad for myself." Zhao Kuo cursed in his heart.
That's right, the current Zhao Kuo is no longer the original one.
His soul comes from the twenty-first century.
Time travel is a technical job.
The protagonists in those novels in previous lives became royal relatives, nobles, sons and grandsons as soon as they opened their eyes. It was true that Zhao Kuo was envious.
Now it was finally his turn, but he couldn't be happy no matter what.
Because...he became Zhao Kuo!
Zhao Kuo was a controversial person in later generations.
Some people think that Zhao Kuo was a talented general and it was not his fault that he just met Bai Qi.
Some people think that Zhao Kuo is a waste and caused Zhao's 400,000 soldiers to be buried alive. No matter how he washes him, it will be useless.
He didn't know whether Zhao Kuo was a waste.
But he knows that he is absolutely useless!
Zhao Kuo shuddered when he thought about his future.
King Zhao's order has been issued, and he must go to Changping within ten days.
The question is, is Changping a place for people to live?
That is a public cemetery!
It’s still the kind that doesn’t erect a monument.
Whoever goes, dies!
reject?
If he crossed over before King Zhao's order was issued, he still had a chance to refuse, but it was already too late now.
Escape?
This idea flashed across his mind and was immediately rejected by Zhao Kuo.
This is an era when reputation is more important than life. Although he doesn't care about reputation, he still has a mother and younger siblings at home. Once he escapes and is caught, the best outcome for him is to be beheaded, and the whole family will be implicated and demoted to slavery. From then on
Being humiliated, I can never hold my head up.
"Then... go to Changping to fight Bai Qi?"
Thinking of this name, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shudder, inexplicable fear surged into his heart, and a chill came from his back.
Bai Qi, a name made of thick bones, even after more than two thousand years, future generations can still feel the strong murderous aura from it.
"What's the difference between fighting for nothing... and committing suicide!" Zhao Kuo almost collapsed.
"There are still ten days, let's take it one step at a time."
In order to survive and understand his opponents, Zhao Kuo began to study the history books of this world.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
Zhao Kuo discovered that this world was completely different from the Warring States Period in history.
This world is actually capable of cultivation. A warrior can cut off mountains and rivers with one sword, and a scholar can level the world with one move.
There are also various powerful forces from Confucianism, military strategism, Taoism, Legalism, Mohism, and farming.
In other words - Bai Qi's strength is stronger than ever before!
As we all know, civilians remain civilians after their strength increases.
But after Rentu's strength increases...it's very likely that he won't be Rentu anymore.
But Immortal Slaughter!
Facing Xiantu, Zhao Kuo decided: find someone to help!
As the saying goes, it is better to seek help from others than from yourself.
Since you are not good at it, then admit it honestly and find someone who is good at it.
Live your life, don’t be miserable!
If we want to say who is the most capable person in Zhao State now, it is not the famous general Lian Po, nor is it Li Mu who has not yet become famous.
But I hope you all will be happy!
A man who was ranked among the ten sages of the martial arts temple with Bai Qi, and was also the only person in Zhao who could possibly compete with Bai Qi.
Zhao Kuo visited Le Yi this time, hoping to get his help.
…
There were almost no pedestrians on the road. The carriage ran very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at Wangzhujun's Mansion.
Along the way, Zhao Kuo did not encounter any bloody incidents such as a villain bullying a good young woman, or a girl bumping into a carriage without her eyes.
There was no scene where a group of people surrounded Zhao Kuo, crying and shouting to follow him.
Those Guizhou leaders shouted Ma Fuzi's name, but when Zhao Kuo passed by them, no one recognized him.
"Hush!"
The war horse stopped panting, shook off the sweat on its body, and stood quietly aside, looking around curiously with its cute big eyes.
The driver jumped out of the car and walked up to knock on the door.
The retainer who opened the door was a little surprised to learn Zhao Kuo's identity, and respectfully led the two of them into the mansion.
Entering Wangzhujun's Mansion, Zhao Kuo was stunned.
Looking at Zhujun's mansion, it is extremely desolate. The rockery has fallen to the ground, the pond is covered with dense water plants, and the water surface cannot be seen. There is not a single flower in the flower bed beside the wall, but some onions, garlic, leeks and the like are planted.
The entire mansion was empty. Except for the retainer who opened the door, Zhao Kuo did not see any other servants.
