After a few months, Zhao Kuo once again put on his military uniform.
Du helped repair the chariot. He said it was repaired, but in fact he made a new chariot. According to Ge's request, sharp blades were installed on the outside of the wheels. Ge liked this chariot very much. After Du
After repairing the chariot, he stayed by its side all day long. Except for driving it for Zhao Kuo, he almost never saw anyone else.
During his second expedition, Zhao Kuo finally discovered some changes in himself.
He did not have the same panic and fear as before. He was very calm and calm, and he almost did not recognize himself. Stroking his cold armor, Zhao Kuo stopped in the courtyard for a long time and carefully looked at everything around him. This time
The enemy was far more powerful and terrifying than the Lifu of Yan State. Zhao Kuo couldn't think of any way to defeat the enemy. Before leaving, he just wanted to remember everything around him. Maybe
, this is the last time he stands here.
Zhao's mother had already heard the news that Zhao Kuo was leaving, but she was not worried. She seemed to have begun to trust her son, her husband, and her son. They were all famous warriors in Zhao State, and no one could defeat them.
When Zhao Kuo, dressed in military uniform, looked at her, she prepared the words she had spent all night teaching her son, but she couldn't say them out. She just grabbed Zhao Kuo's hand and said, "Take care of yourself."
Zhao Kuo hugged his mother, and Zhao Kuo said again: "After you return home in triumph, you will get married."
Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed. In later generations, thinking that those who got married after the war would not end well, but looking at the gray-haired mother in front of him, he still nodded and said: "I listen to you.
."
The disciples were getting ready to go to war. Di was also saying goodbye to his lover. The maidservant was sobbing quietly all the time. Di was waving his hands and bragging to her, making the maid cry and laugh. Mr. Ge
He had already prepared the chariot at the door. At this moment, he was still pulling various parts of the chariot to make sure it was safe. Li Yu was putting leather armor on his body, and Ming on the side was helping him.
Zhao Kuo took one last look at his mother and the familiar courtyard before giving the order and getting ready to set off!
Zhao Kuo skillfully stood on the left side of the car. Wang Fan originally wanted to stand on the right side of the car, but Di pulled him away. Di opened his eyes wide and stared at him fiercely. Wang Fan faced him.
After staring for a moment, Di reluctantly gave up his position. Then he jumped onto the chariot with a smile, stood on the right side of the chariot, and glanced at Wang Fan triumphantly. Wang Fan ignored him and picked up the
The spear stood beside the chariot.
Compared with the last expedition, this time it was obviously more solemn. Dozens of diners surrounded the military chariot, completely blocking the road. The people in horse uniform once again came out to bid farewell to Zhao Kuo, and their neighbors Ping Gong
Among these people, he was holding his mulberry stick and beating all the guests one by one. It is said that he beat Zhao Kuo's military chariot all night yesterday, and he was so angry that Ge almost had a fight with him.
Zhao Ji is not here, but there is a maid, holding the Eternal Emperor in her arms, looking at Zhao Kuo in the military vehicle with some fear. Zhao Kuo looked at these familiar people one by one, as if he wanted to take them all away
Remember, finally, the flag suddenly opened, and Ma Fujun's flag once again flew above the military chariot. Zhao Kuo raised his head, looked at the brand new flag, and ordered: "Let's go!!!"
The people in horse uniforms sent them off for nearly three miles. Until the end, Du, who couldn't see anything, was still waving goodbye in a direction where no one was around.
Everything that happened just now was more like a picture scroll, because Zhao Kuo didn't hear any sound. It wasn't until the military chariot gradually disappeared in front of the people on horseback that Zhao Kuo heard the sonata of the howling wind. The weather was particularly unusual.
Standing in the military chariot, the strong wind blowing in his face was like a knife, making Zhao Kuo tremble all over. He originally wanted to hold on for a while and let his disciples imitate his tenacity, but this cold winter didn't give him any chance.
this opportunity.
It was still the same school grounds as before. King Zhao specially transferred 3,000 people from his elite troops in the palace to escort Zhao Kuo and others to the Great Wall to replace Lian Po. King Zhao gave him a royal order, which was to let Lian Po
He gave the order of giving the tiger talisman to Zhao Kuo. In addition, he also prepared some drinks and winter clothes. The sacrifice that originally took a whole day ended in a short time because it was too cold outside and King Zhao was a little nervous.
Can't stand.
Zhao Kuo did not take time to visit Lin Xiangru, but simply said goodbye to Dong Chengzi, Yu Qing and others before leaving Handan. Dong Chengzi told Zhao Kuo about his capture of Lou Sui, and said: Lou Chang
He disappeared and could not be found in the entire Handan city. He either committed suicide or surrendered to Qin. Zhao Kuo did not care about Lou Chang's life or death. It was a good thing that Lou Chang was not in the palace.
After repeatedly admonishing Dong Chengzi, Zhao Kuo led the army and left Handan.
March towards the Great Wall.
In such weather, marching became an extremely difficult task.
Zhao Kuo felt that his ears and hands had lost all feeling, and there was an inexplicable, burning pain on his face. Most of the guests were the same, especially Li Yu. As a Chu native, he rarely visited Yan.
During Zhao Kuo's winter outings, he always hid at home. Now that he was following Zhao Kuo out, Li Yu could no longer escape and could only endure the unbearable cold.
The soldiers had a very difficult journey for nearly three days, but fortunately there were no casualties. Zhao Kuo had never experienced such coldness in his previous life. In the wilderness of the Warring States Period, where there was no heating, no stove, and even cotton-padded clothes, winter was so cold.
It's so difficult. Zhao Kuo is always thinking now, after defeating Bai Qi, he must find cotton or simply make a fur coat, no matter what else?
This bone-deep cold can even interrupt Zhao Kuo's thoughts. Fortunately, the Great Wall is not far from Handan. According to Ge, it can be reached in another five days' walk. It was another cold night, and everyone
Stacking stones, lighting bonfires, and gathering around to keep warm, Zhao Kuo asked for more bonfires. He did not want the soldiers to freeze to death. Even in such a severe cold, he went to check all the bonfires one by one.
There is a bonfire in each group. This is Zhao Kuo's order. Looking from a distance, uninformed people thought that a hundred thousand troops of Zhao State were gathered here!
After Zhao Kuo finished his work, he finally sat down, stretched out his hands, moved towards the bonfire, sat closer, looked at Di beside him, and said tremblingly: "Di, take four people with you.
Riding a horse, rush... to the Zhang Great Wall first, and deliver the news that I am going there..." Di was also trembling at this moment, after hearing Zhao Kuo's order.
, said fearfully: "Can... can... go during the day?"
"Bullshit...riding wildly on horseback at night, can you...reach the Great Wall alive?"
Di then breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Wei!"
Di left with the four knights the next day and ran towards the Great Wall. Zhao Kuo led the rest of the soldiers and marched for several more days before they saw the outline of the Great Wall. The Great Wall at this time was not Zhao Kuo's. The winding giant dragon seen in previous lives and the Great Wall in later generations are the crystallization of successive dynasties. But at this moment, the Zhao Great Wall is still very primitive, made of simple piles of soil mixed with stones and other debris.
The Great Wall of Zhao is not tall either. It looks like the courtyard walls we saw in the countryside in our previous lives, rather than the Great Wall.
The Great Wall is very long, so it is divided into sections. Each section has a different name, and even the height and thickness of the wall are different. When the Great Wall was built, the work started at the same time, so each section of the Great Wall is different now. , after all, this is Zhao, not Qin. Zhao Kuo’s destination is the Zhang Great Wall on the far right, where General Lian Po is stationed.
Relying on the Great Wall, General Lian Po set up a camp here. There were billowing smoke from cooking stoves all over the Great Wall, indicating that there were many troops here. However, when Zhao Kuo got closer, he discovered that there were many places where cooking smoke was rising. In fact, there was no camp, only one soldier, who was building bonfires everywhere. Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes and hurriedly sent someone to call the soldier over.
This Zhao Kuo looked a little nervous. He looked at the flag behind Zhao Kuo curiously, but failed to recognize the word. Zhao Kuo smiled and then asked: "Why are you making fires everywhere?"
The young Zhao Zu looked at him, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "I can't say."
Zhao Kuo laughed and said approvingly: "Very good."
He looked into the distance again. Wherever he could see, there were smoke billowing from cooking stoves. It seemed that these places were like this, and they were just pretending to be seen by Bai Qi. General Lian Po wanted to mislead Bai Qi and let him Bai Qi thought that Qin's army was stationed on the Zhang Great Wall? Isn't that the case? What on earth did he want to do?
