He didn't see a famous general who could defeat Bai Qi here. He just saw an uneducated young master who talked about military skills on paper. In the days after Lou Huan arrived, this noble young master had to summon Lian Qi every day.
Po, Wei Wuji and others gave them some impossible tasks, such as hiding an ox across a river, and when the enemy was about to attack, they would light a flame on the ox's tail and launch a fire ox array.
Even the rumored young Zhao generals, such as Li Mu, Tian Yue and others, were very dissatisfied with Zhao Kuo. Lou Xu once heard Li Mu complaining through gritted teeth: Zhao Kuo asked him to lead the cavalry to cut off Baiqi's food supply.
road.
Lou Huan was not stupid. Faced with a picture that was completely contrary to the rumors, he wanted to find some secret soldiers arranged by the Qin State for questioning. However, he did not expect that during several battles, the Qin State's spies placed in the Zhao army
They were all almost dead, and the few who survived were responsible for logistics. The news they found out was very exaggerated. Zhao Kuo rushed into the camp on a bicycle and almost stabbed Bai Qi to death with a spear.
Such exaggerated rumors only made Lou Huan even more disbelieving.
He doesn't know Zhao Kuo, but he knows Bai Qi very well. Bai Qi has never been a person who puts himself in danger. He can never lose control of the army at any time. Therefore, he will not charge. What is the battle between two people?
Zhao Kuo's assassination of Bai Qi was obviously a lie. After careful investigation, Lou Huan discovered that these rumors came from one of Zhao Kuo's retainers, who was called Di.
Lou Huan thought of a way and invited this Di in the name of wanting to make friends with Zhao Kuo.
To be honest, when he learned that Lou Huan had summoned Di, Zhao Kuo was still a little panicked. After all, Di didn't know about his arrangements and was afraid that he would expose the secret.
Sitting in the tent, Lou Huan looked at the burly man in front of him and asked with a smile: "When I was in Qin State, I had already heard about Ma Fujun's reputation and wanted to make friends with him. I learned that you are his most trusted disciple, so I
I want to ask you about him." Di looked at him and smiled, "Then you have found the right person."
"Back then, when my young master borrowed grain to transport to the battlefield, he was ambushed by the Qin people in Taihang... My young master took the lead and killed more than forty Qin people in a row, causing the Qin people to flee..."
"In Boren, my young master is charging forward. No one can stop him. He can kill the general and seize the flag. He alone can defeat a hundred thousand people!"
"In Changping, my young master met Bai Qi and was about to capture him. Bai Qi was scared and hurriedly fired an arrow. I even blocked the arrow for my young master..."
Lou Xu was dumbfounded. He looked at Di talking nonstop. Di kept talking like this all night. Lou Xu felt that his ears were ringing. He shouldn't have found this guy. But no matter what he said, this guy
The warrior just didn't want to leave and continued to talk about Ma Fujun's heroic past. Poor Lou Xu couldn't push him away. When Lian Po walked into the camp, Di Yi glanced at Lou Xu reluctantly and left reluctantly.
Already.
Lou Huan excitedly held Lian Po's hand: Thank you, old general.
Lian Po looked very displeased: Zhao Kuorang did not know how to use the art of war, but he wanted to temporarily reorganize the army and withdrew the soldiers stationed at the Danshui defense line, leaving the defense line completely empty. He came to say goodbye to Lou Huan, and he wanted to take him with him
Send your own soldiers to defend to prevent Bai Qi from attacking.
Lou Huan said goodbye to Lian Po. After Lian Po left, he had time to think seriously, but Di's words seemed to still echo in his ears, making him dizzy. He had never seen such... talkative people.
Zhao Kuo, not to mention anything else, is full of talented people. Lou Huan can tell that everything Di said is a lie. He has also seen Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo is indeed tall and strong, but he is a dignified general.
, it is impossible to kill the general and capture the flag in an array of 100,000 people!
It seems that what Lian Po and Wei Wuji told is not a lie. This general pursues fame very much, so he appoints people like Di to build momentum for him. In fact, he has no talents. Otherwise, even his father and mother,
Would someone like Lin Xiangru criticize him so harshly?
Lou Huan was sitting in the tent seriously. He was waiting, waiting for news about the alchemy.
After waiting for two days, Zhao Kuo's formation was completed, but Bai Qi did not launch an attack. Even in such an empty time, Bai Qi did not launch an attack. Lou Suan narrowed his eyes, why did Lord Wu An pretend to be defeated? Why?
Are you going to deliberately lose to this Zhao Kuo?
It was Yinghou's plan to let the King of Zhao use Zhao Kuo, and if Wu Anjun and Yinghou were at odds, he shouldn't be...
Lou Xu shook his head, it was impossible for Lord Wu An to make such a big sacrifice just to frame Ying Hou.
Suddenly, he remembered King Qin's embarrassed face when he talked about Bai Qi's military exploits. He suddenly woke up, Feng Wufeng!
Lou Huan was ready to leave and wanted to rush to Handan, because he found that Zhao Kuo was not worthy of being his opponent. Facing such an immature noble son, all Lou Huan's original plans were of no use.
If you want to play chess, you have to find an opponent who can play chess. Facing someone who can't even understand the chessboard, you can't form a chess game.
Lou Huan still said goodbye to Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo looked at him arrogantly. Hearing Lou Huan's flattery, he couldn't help but smile. Lou Huan felt particularly contemptuous in his heart, but he still looked like he respected him. Zhao Kuo had a big hand.
With a wave of his hand, he gave him the reward, and then said: "I heard that my retainer Di and you hit it off, so why not just send him to escort you to Handan."
"No, no, thank you Ma Fu-kun, it doesn't have to be like this." Lou Xu shook his head in horror.
Finally, Di still didn't follow Lou Xu. Lou Xu breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the carriage, and walked towards Handan. He wanted to pass through Lucheng, to She, to Wu'an, and then to Handan. Now these few
The city still wouldn't open easily, so Lou Sui could only live outside the city. The roads in Handan County were far more dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and bumpy than when he left Zhao.
The Qin people who were traveling with him complained about the road, with anger in their eyes.
Lou Chuan sat on the carriage and looked around. There were ruins everywhere. The small cities in the past had now become dead cities, empty and deserted. And outside the cities, there were graves, and no one knew where they were buried.
How many people were there? Looking at these graves, even the Qin people felt a little uneasy, as if someone was staring at them and gnashing their teeth. Every time they passed by the graves, they were always scared into cold sweats.
.
Sitting in front of the bonfire, Lou Huan became a little silent. He looked at the ruins around him, but memories of the past kept flashing through his mind.
The handsome noble son went hunting in a carriage, and the people of the city came to greet him with smiles. The beautiful girl looked at him shyly... But the cities that had entertained the noble son in the past were all reduced to ruins.
And those enthusiastic people may have died long ago, and their descendants will be buried here.
Lou Huan stretched out his hand, pretended to scratch his head, and secretly wiped his eyes.
When the carriage approached Handan, they finally saw the traces of the Zhao people. Even the hostile Zhao people made them feel at ease. At least, these Zhao people were still alive. The strange thing was that the Zhao people did not show any sympathy.
Their hatred was such that when they learned that they had come to negotiate peace, some people even wanted to invite them to stay overnight. The Zhao people here all worshiped Zhao Kuo fanatically, and they seemed particularly excited when talking about Zhao Kuo.
Lou Huan smiled and didn't say much.
Finally, they arrived outside Handan City. Handan City was no different from when he left, but it was a little deserted. As soon as the carriage arrived outside the city, a warrior came up and took them to the palace. Listen.
The familiar local accent made Lou Xu feel mixed in his heart. He looked at the changes in Handan City. However, the people here were not enthusiastic. The angry eyes of the men who had just returned from the battlefield almost overwhelmed these Qin people.
If it weren't for the warriors around them, they would have pounced on them and tore these Qin people into pieces.
"Bang~~", a stone hit a Qin soldier next to Lou Huan hard, and blood suddenly came out of the Qin soldier's forehead. The person who threw the stone was an old woman, and the old man cried and shouted: "
Give me back my son!" The warriors hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the old man. More and more Zhao people gathered around. They quietly picked up farm tools and came from all directions. There was no trace of panic on Lou Huan's face, but
Looking at these Zhao people coldly.
The elites guarding the palace were dispatched. The elites used spears and swords to force the common people back. Facing the people who far exceeded their numbers, the elite soldiers showed their courage and faced them bravely, injuring several people.
The people who were unwilling to leave showed their own bravery very well, and the people were defeated step by step. Surrounded by them, the Qin people walked into the palace without any danger.
When Lou Huan entered the palace, King Zhao came to greet him personally.
King Zhao looked very enthusiastic. He took Lou Huan's hand and said seriously: "I have sent people to Qin to invite you many times, but I have never been able to see you. I am very happy that you can come today."
Ah." Lou Xu smiled. He knew the character of King Zhao and was not surprised. After chatting with him, he finally sat down. Lou Xu looked around and saw that King Zhao only invited a few of his confidants.
, Lou Chang is not here.
At the beginning of the banquet, Lou Huan said: "Fan Ju does not want to cease the war. It is I who have reported to the King of Qin, asking him to send me to negotiate peace. Qin and Zhao are brothers. They should not kill each other. I am willing to take Qin's place."
, signed an alliance with the State of Zhao and ended the war." King Zhao smiled and said: "Okay, if you can report to the King of Qin about the affairs of the State of Zhao, it means that you still care about the State of Zhao, and I want you to stay in Zhao.
Country, what do you think?"
Lou Huan suddenly felt a little headache.
Is this what I meant? I told you that I wanted to end the war, but you told me that my heart goes to Zhao?
He looked at the Zhao ministers around him and found that none of them had any intention of speaking, so he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, we can discuss the matter of going or staying later. The current situation between Qin and Zhao One hundred thousand troops are facing each other in Danshui. If they cannot negotiate a peace in time, they may fight again, causing huge casualties. Qin and Zhao will be damaged. This is something that other countries are happy to see. The two countries have stopped fighting. Living in a friendly relationship is something that the people of both countries are happy to accept."
King Zhao said sincerely: "This matter is not urgent. I have heard about your talents for a long time. If you can stay in the State of Zhao, I will entrust you with important tasks. You have been away from the State of Zhao for a long time. I have heard that you can't sleep in your own mind." In our homeland, this is something that even our ancestors would not forgive, so please stay..."
Lou Huan was so "touched" that his whole body trembled.
Censor Zhao Hui suddenly asked: "I heard that you went to Danshui to meet Ma Fujun. Didn't Ma Fujun agree to negotiate peace?" Lou Huan glanced at him, squinted his eyes, and looked at King Zhao in front of him. He said with some confusion: "I did go to see Mr. Ma Fu before, because I heard that Mr. Ma Fu can decide the war in Zhao Kingdom." After hearing his words, King Zhao gradually frowned.
Lou Huan added: "But Mr. Ma Fu is not willing to negotiate for peace. He said that he wants to capture Mr. Wu An alive."
Hearing Lou Huan's words, King Zhao was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Did he really say that?"
Lou Huan squinted his eyes and nodded, haha, even if King Zhao trusted Zhao Kuo again, he would be angry when he heard Zhao Kuo's arrogant words.
Suddenly, King Zhao burst out laughing. He was moved and said to Lou Xiang: "This is what he promised me. Before going to the expedition, he promised me that he would capture Bai Qi alive. Ma Fujun is a man who keeps his promise. Yes A wise man from Zhao State..." King Zhao was so moved that he could not speak, but Lou Huan opened his mouth wide. It turned out that Zhao Kuo was really not fooling himself. He, a fool, really wanted to capture Wu An alive. Jun???
At this moment, his doubts about Zhao Kuo dissipated immediately, and he was sure that this was a stupid young man with a six-year-old age, a fool who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth!
Not to mention Lou Huan, even Yu Qing was confused at this moment, looking at King Zhao and Lou Huan in front of him with blank expressions.
King Zhao continued to win over Lou Huan. Faced with such a warm invitation, Lou Huan was helpless and could only say that he would consider it. This made King Zhao restrain himself a little, and the two of them formally discussed the matter of peace talks. Lou Huan As soon as he spoke, Yu Qing stood up and said proudly: "Only when Qin withdraws from Shangdang can Zhao agree to negotiate peace with Qin."
Then there was a heated exchange of words. Lou Huan and Yu Qing started to argue. The two refused to give in and their faces turned red.
"If you say so, I will go back and report to King Qin to send more soldiers to Lord Wu'an! Continue this war!!"
"Okay, we will also give more support to Mr. Ma Fu, so that Mr. Ma Fu can join forces with the Chu State to attack Hangu Pass!"
"The Qin State can still muster 300,000 soldiers! Five million stones of grain and grass! There are countless good warriors!"
"The State of Zhao can still muster 200,000 soldiers! Four million stones of grain and grass! There is only one horse, Fu Jun, and your so-called good warriors are not worth mentioning!"
While Yu Qing was arguing, King Zhao suddenly signaled him to come forward. Yu Qing walked to King Zhao in confusion. King Zhao looked at him in embarrassment and said: "Zhao cannot summon 200,000 soldiers... There is not enough food..." Yu Qing looked at King Zhao in front of him, his lips trembled, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a lie. Of course I know how many people Zhao can summon and how much food and grass they can transport."
"Oh~~" King Zhao suddenly understood, nodded and never spoke again.
Lou Huan looked at Yu Qing in front of him with a half-smile.
King Zhao is still thinking of ways to recruit himself.
His ministers were all eating mutton just to show their bravery.
There was only one Yu Qing, who continued to argue with himself angrily and tried his best to gain benefits for Zhao.
Lou Huan felt a little sorry for Yu Qing in front of him.
If he were in the Qin State, he should be a minister who was very favored by the king.
Although Lou Xu thought so, he still didn't give in at all when it came to negotiating peace. He argued with Yu Qing for three days, but he still couldn't get Yu Qing to change his mind. Lou Xu was a smart man, so he didn't bother him anymore.
Instead, Yu Qing paid a visit to King Zhao. He told King Zhao that he rushed to Zhao State because of the order of King Qin. If he could complete his mission, he could stay in Zhao State. But if he could not complete it, he would still stay in Zhao State.
country, the world will definitely think that he is absconding out of fear of crime.
Lou Xian is unwilling to bear such a crime, so if the matter does not succeed, he must go back.
Sure enough, King Zhao was overjoyed and waved his hand, agreeing to the peace negotiation between the two parties.
As a condition of peace negotiation, Lou Huan temporarily stayed in the palace.
King Zhao held a banquet in the palace and entertained Lou Huan warmly.
Yu Qing was also sitting at the banquet. He kept drinking wine, getting drunk and laughing loudly.
