One hundred and twentieth chapters scheming Mafujun
The horse rubbed its front hooves uneasily.
The carriage was burning with flames.
The driver died on the left side of the carriage, with a spear stuck in his chest. He looked blankly at the sky, which had already become cold. Not far away, there was a fallen nobleman. The nobleman was wearing luxurious clothes and lying on his back.
On the ground, there are arrows stuck in the back. This is the road leading to Hanoi. The nobleman is called Wei Wei, and he is the envoy to the State of Zhao. He is not going to visit the King of Zhao, but to visit Wei Wuji and convey the King of Wei's message.
make.
The King of Wei asked Wei Wuji to retreat to Hanoi to prevent the Qin people from counterattacking.
In fact, this was only his nominal purpose. His real intention was to order the generals of Wei State to capture Wei Wuji and return to Daliang.
It is a pity that he was not able to rush to Zhao. He was attacked halfway. The identity of the attacker is not known for the time being, but it is conceivable that when the news of the assassination of the noble man spread back to Daliang, King Wei would have
What a fear, and what kind of turmoil will occur within the Wei State.
At this time, Zhao Kuo's camp outside Danshui was also not very stable.
The scouts brought the latest news. The envoys from the State of Qin are heading towards Danshui. They will probably arrive here tomorrow to meet Zhao Kuo. This envoy is none other than Zhao Renlou Xu, Lou Chang’s elder, Zhao Kuo.
The biggest traitor of the country. After Zhao Kuo learned about the relationship between the envoy and Lou Chang, he did not want to see the Qin envoy. However, he was still very happy because he could sense that the Qin people were
This envoy was sent because he sincerely wanted to end the war.
Ending the war has always been Zhao Kuo's long-cherished wish.
The wars he experienced in those days were Zhao Kuo's nightmare. The wailing of the soldiers still echoed in his ears. He could never forget Handan Zao's pleading. Zhao Kuo felt that he had never gone crazy.
Probably because the original Zhao Kuo had a strong heart. There were countless emotions, regret, self-blame, and pain, but he couldn't find any positive emotions. Whenever he felt that it was difficult to breathe, he would look at it.
Look at the soldiers outside the door.
Listen to them talk about their hometown, listen to them talk about their lovers.
Sometimes he didn't dare to sleep alone in the tent. When he held up the water with his hand to drink, he could see that the water in his hand turned into blood-red liquid and kept dripping. He would hesitate for a long time and drink.
And finished.
This hateful, hateful, terrible war is finally coming to an end.
Zhao Kuo summoned several of his most trusted disciples except Di, as well as generals from Zhao and Wei to the camp to discuss matters. He wanted to tell everyone about this good thing. In addition, he was worried about his heart. After so much, he
He is no longer the innocent young man in the horse suit. He no longer believes in the Qin people. The Qin people's envoys have come not only for peace talks. After the flesh-and-blood war is over, there will be another war without swords and spears.
And this war is even more cruel, and sometimes even more blood will be shed than a sword-to-sword war.
Zhao Kuo sat in the upper position. He originally wanted Wei Wuji to sit next to him. After all, they were both commanders, but Wei Wuji didn't care about it. According to his words, he gave him a wine bag and let him stand in the tent.
There was no problem outside. Zhao Kuo had no choice but to let him sit in the seat closest to his right, but Lian Po threw Wei Wuji an empty wine bag, picked him up, threw him aside, and sat at the end.
At a location close to Zhao Kuo.
Wei Wuji looked blankly at the empty wine bag in his hand and laughed loudly.
In the State of Zhao, the left is respected, and in the army, the right is respected.
Therefore, the generals all sit on the right, while the retainers sit on the left. There are not many people coming. On the right are Lian Po, Wei Wuji, Tian Yue, Li Mu, Sima Shang, Hou Ying and others, and on the left are Ge and Li Yu.
Fortunately, Wang Fan, Zhao Fu and other retainers waited until everyone had arrived before Zhao Kuo told him about the arrival of the envoy. Just as he finished speaking, Tian Yue suddenly stood up and said: "There is a fraud!!"
Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly. Tian Yue was a little too cautious. When he fought with Bai Qi, the general was in charge of the pursuit. He was too timid to make any gains. Later, Lian Po, who learned about this, was so angry that he wanted to kill him.
However, caution also has its advantages. At least, Bai Qi never thought of breaking out from him. Lian Po liked the aggressive Li Mu, but disliked the cautious Tian Yue.
He recognized Tian Yue's talent, but his personality made the old general dislike him very much.
Tian Yue frowned and said: "The Qin people want to negotiate peace, so they should go to Handan. Why do they come to see the general? This must be the Qin people's strategy. The Qin people may want to assassinate the general, or want to find out.
News about our army... In short, they definitely did not come to see the general for the purpose of negotiating peace. General, please send someone to stop them. Simply send someone to send them to Handan, and do not allow them to come to Danshui Camp."
"No." Li Yu, who was sitting on the left, suddenly spoke. He frowned and thought seriously before saying, "Shaojun, what General Tian Yue said makes sense. They must have some plan when they come to see you.
, However, it will definitely not be an assassination or a spy. I think Lou Sui is here to alienate you. He deliberately came to Danshui camp to talk to you about the armistice. Armistice and war are important matters that the monarchs of the two countries should discuss and determine.
How can we let the general give the order?"
"He is deliberately trying to sow discord between you and the Supreme Lord, so that the Supreme Lord will think that you are trying to replace him."
After Li Yu finished speaking, everyone fell silent immediately. This topic seemed a bit sensitive, especially in front of so many people. Zhao Kuo's expression did not change, he smiled calmly and said: "What you said makes sense, but
I still don't want to drive him away." After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, everyone was shocked for a moment. The guests looked at each other, some were surprised, some were angry, some were expecting, and some were excited.
The generals were also particularly surprised. Lian Po frowned. He was thinking: Should he restrain Zhao Kuo? Tian Yue covered his ears and trembled: General, shouldn't he kill me to silence me? Li Muchong
He held his chin with his hand and thought seriously about where to attack Handan.
Zhao Kuo quickly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He shook his head and said: "Whether it is political or military affairs, the Qin people have the initiative. They continue to launch attacks and use despicable tactics. We can only resolve them one by one."
, I attacked once before, killing their envoy and destroying their plan, but this is not enough, I want to take the initiative to attack again, so that the people of Qin will not live so comfortably."
Hearing his words, everyone was thoughtful.
Zhao Kuo lowered his voice, looked at everyone and said, "I have a plan..." He told everyone his ideas one by one. The generals listened carefully, and the diners raised their heads and smiled from time to time.
After Zhao Kuo finished speaking his thoughts, young Sima Shang grinned, looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "Okay, your plan is really insidious!!"
Everyone turned to stare at him, and Sima Shang quickly changed his words, "That's... great!"
Zhao Kuo then looked at everyone and said: "Then I will wrong you all, especially you..." He looked at Lian Po and said helplessly: "Please forgive me.", and then continued. Looking at Wei Wuji, Lian Po said with a smile: "No problem, the Qin people have repeatedly plotted against us, causing chaos in the palaces of the kings. We will also let them have a taste of this. General, don't worry, I will act according to your instructions. .”
Wei Wuji also laughed and said, "Anyway, what I want to say is the truth."
After everyone's deliberations were completed, the retainers went to greet the Qin envoy.
Lou Huan is also a good friend of Pang Nuan. Pang Nuan has a kind of magical power. All his friends seem to live longer, such as Ju Xing, Le Yi, and this Lou Huan. This is probably why others are willing to become friends with Pang Nuan. Well, Lou Xu was originally a senior minister of the Zhao State. He was sent to the Qin State to serve as the Prime Minister. He persuaded the King of Qin many times, which eased the relationship between the two countries. However, the backstabbing from his homeland caused him to lose his position and almost lost his position. Killed.
From then on, he hated the State of Zhao extremely, and constantly offered advice to the King of Qin to help weaken the State of Zhao. This implicated his family in the State of Zhao, so his family also defected to Qin and became the leader of the State of Zhao. The secret soldiers within the territory conveyed information to Qin and helped implement Qin's strategy.
The reason why the King of Qin sent him as an envoy this time was mainly because he was very familiar with the State of Zhao. The King of Qin also trusted him and believed that he could do the important things he asked. In Lou Huan's heart, he was just thinking about this famous person. Zhao Kuo in the world, according to rumors, is a benevolent and upright gentleman. He is deeply loved by the Zhao people and supported by the soldiers. Even people like Wei Wuji feel ashamed. However, Lou Huan has never believed the rumors. He only Trust your own eyes.
When his carriage just approached the camp, there were soldiers waiting for him.
The leader was wearing armor and was tall. However, he looked a little abnormal. He was staggering and seemed to be drunk.
Seeing the carriage arriving, the man hurriedly walked up to Lou Huan, raised his head arrogantly, with disdain on his face, and asked: "Bai Qi didn't dare to fight anymore, so why did he send you to ask for surrender?" Smelling the smell of wine that hit his face, Lou Xu was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "I'm here to meet Ma Fujun." The man nodded and said proudly: "Ma Fujun knows, I am. Mr. Ma Fu’s disciples are called Li Yu!”
Li Yu waved his hand and got on another carriage, clearing the way for Lou Xu. Lou Xu looked at the soldiers with their heads lowered and frustrated faces in front of him in surprise. He suddenly felt that he understood this situation. It seemed a little different, but this made him even more excited. He was looking forward to whether he could accomplish more great things. Finally, the carriage arrived in front of the camp, and there were no soldiers to guard it.
The camp seemed a little empty, and there were still a few generals who seemed to be drinking and playing, without armor and disheveled, playing hutong.
However, Li Yu did not give Lou Xu a chance to ask. He stepped forward directly, took Lou Xu's hand, and dragged him into the tent. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw a brightly dressed man. The meticulous young man in armor was standing in front of the map in front of the wall, studying it carefully. When he heard the movement behind him, he turned around, looked at Lou Huan in surprise, and said angrily to Li Yu: "What are you doing?" Did you bring him here? What if he sees important military information? Let him out!"
Before Lou Huan could speak, he was dragged out by Li Yu again.
After a long time, he walked into the camp again, only to see that the map had been covered up. The young nobleman was sitting on his knees not far away with his head held high. The captain of the building hurriedly bowed to him. Zhao Kuo just nodded casually.
Lou Huan nodded and let him sit in front of him. Lou Huan looked at the young man in front of him seriously. Zhao Kuo said, "Bai Qi asked you to come? Why didn't Bai Qi come and surrender to me in person?"
"Huh?" Lou Huan was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "I came here to discuss peace with you on the order of the king."
"Peace? What peace?" Zhao Kuo seemed a little angry. He said angrily: "I will not negotiate with you. I will cross Danshui by force and capture Bai Qi alive. This is my king's order. Then, I will
We have to break through Hangu Pass and arrest the King of Qin too!" He waved his hand and said: "Please go back and tell Bai Qi that next time, I will not be careless and let him escape successfully!"
Lou Xu was stunned.
Is this the wise man who defeated General Bai Qi?
He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up angrily and said: "I came here to end the war. If you insist on war and don't care about the soldiers, then I will go back. Please wait for General Bai Qi.
Attack!" When Zhao Kuo heard this, he suddenly laughed and said disdainfully: "Bai Qi? Only Lian Po and an incompetent person like Wei Wuji would be afraid of him. I fought Bai Qi twice and won both times, and he also
Are you worthy of being my opponent?"
"Send off the guests!", he ordered without mercy.
Li Yu pushed Li Yu directly and pushed him out of the tent.
Standing outside the camp, Lou Huan looked a little confused. Why is this so different from the rumored Ma Fujun? No, it's not different. He is just an arrogant aristocratic son with no qualifications for a famous general! Just as Lou Huan stood there
Here, when he was helpless, a tall old general suddenly stood in front of him. The general looked a little worn out and depressed. He asked in a low voice: "Is he the envoy of Qin?"
Lou Huan nodded, the old general smiled bitterly and said, "I am Lian Po."
Sitting in the tent, Lou Huan looked at Lian Po and Wei Wuji in front of him. Both of them looked decadent, drinking wine, hanging their heads and saying nothing. After a long time, Lian Po finally raised his head.
Staring at Lou Xu with blood-red eyes, he said, "You shouldn't have come here. That boy Zhao Kuo will not make peace. Please go to Handan and make sure to end this war." Lou Xu looked at him doubtfully.
, asked: "Why is this?"
"Zhao Kuo is still thinking about capturing Bai Qi alive..."
"Oh, this...I..." Lian Po wanted to say something, but couldn't. He sighed helplessly, looked at Wei Wuji in the distance, and said, "It's up to you to say it."
, Wei Wuji stared ahead, and said with some confusion: "Lian Po's soldiers and I are all dead, only Zhao Kuo's soldiers are still alive here... We can't fight anymore... This Bai Qi, why did he act like this when he met us?"
With such ferocity, Zhao Kuo is always defeated when he fights against him?"
"Why?" Wei Wuji raised his head and looked at Lian Po in front of him.
Lian Po shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Maybe we are not as good as this Ma Fujun."
Wei Wuji sighed and said: "Yes, after all, this man can defeat a hundred thousand Yan soldiers with a few thousand soldiers...a famous general, a famous general." Lian Po suddenly laughed, shook his head and said: "You are here
What can the State of Wei know? Zhao Kuo's father is a good friend of mine. He once said that if the State of Zhao takes Zhao Kuo as a general, it will definitely lead to disaster. His mother does not trust him... Even Lin Xiangru once said
He said that Zhao Kuo could only read the art of war left by his father and could not lead troops."
"What about defeating Yan State?"
"When he led his soldiers to attack the State of Yan, it was actually Zhao Fu and Xu Li who actually commanded the soldiers to fight."
"Zhao Fu was Zhao She's deputy general, and Xu Li was also promoted by Zhao She. They helped Zhao Kuo defeat the Yan people. Later, Xu Li was forced to go to Yunzhong to be the county magistrate, but Zhao Fu became
Military doctor, hehehe, this is a famous general, he can't even tolerate his own subordinates." Lian Po drank the bitter wine and shook his head. He looked at Lou Suan aside, and suddenly grabbed Lou Suan's neck.
, asked angrily: "Did Bai Qi fake defeat? Is Zhao Kuo an internal agent of Qin?"
Lou Xu looked at him in horror and shook his head.
"Then why when Bai Qi attacked us, hundreds of thousands of soldiers couldn't stop him, but when he fought against Zhao Kuo, who had fewer soldiers, he always left his soldiers and ran away?!"
"Why is this? Is Lian Po really not as good as Zhao Kuo?!"
Lian Po roared angrily, Wei Wuji hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Lian Po away, rescued Lou, and said helplessly: "Please don't pay attention... He just drank a little too much... Please hurry up
Go to Handan, Zhao Kuo will not be willing to negotiate peace. As for the affairs of Wei State, I can discuss it with you. We are willing to negotiate peace with Qin State and stop the war."
Lou Huan looked at Wei Wuji and nodded.
But my heart was in turmoil and I couldn't calm down.
Could it be that Bai Qi lost to Zhao Kuo on purpose?
