In the northern part of Yan State, cold winds rage all year round and it is extremely cold. People here admire white, probably because this color is close to the color of ice and snow. It is difficult and poor here, and even the barbarians are not willing to come here to plunder.
The cold wind created a group of warriors who were good at drinking, forthright, and focused on friendship. Wei Wuji would probably get along very happily with the warriors here. In the wars between the princes in these years, the Yan Kingdom has been in a weak situation for a long time.
It was even difficult to withstand the Hu people's attack. Fortunately, the overlord of Qi led the Central Plains princes to help, which gave Yan a chance to survive. The land of Yan was barren, the household registrations were sparse, and the people everywhere could not understand the language, and the soldiers could not understand.
exchanges, the overall national strength of the Yan State may not be as good as South Korea. And because of this, we can see the excellence of General Le Yi. He led these soldiers who were not elite enough, with less sophisticated equipment, and less food.
Supplies and conquers Qi.
Compared with cities further north, the climate in Ji, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, is not so bad. However, at this moment, snowflakes are still falling here. The snowflakes are not big. If they fall on the ground or on people's shoulders, they will fall quickly.
It disappeared, leaving only a stain, but the ground became muddy and very difficult to walk on. The warrior stood in the courtyard, raised the dagger in his hand, took a sip of wine, and then danced the sword.
The light shines in all directions and sways with the body.
The knock on the door interrupted the samurai's sword dance. The samurai was not angry and hurriedly put away his dagger, then stepped forward and opened the door. Outside the door, stood a dusty young man with a red face. The young man exhaled.
With a breath of mist, he looked at his friend blankly. The samurai smiled and hurriedly welcomed the young man into the courtyard, and then said: "Where have you been these days? I went to your home, and your father said that you were traveling far away.
You didn’t even tell me a word.”
The samurai pulled his friend enthusiastically, but he soon discovered something was wrong. His friend, who loved to joke and had a cheerful nature, became extremely silent at this moment, his eyes were full of sadness, and his whole person seemed to be numb, and he was
There was no response even after pulling, so the samurai asked him to sit in front of him, looked at him seriously, put the dagger on his knees, and then asked: "Who wants to kill you?"
Hearing his friend's inquiry, the visitor was a little touched. He raised his head and looked at his friend in front of him. After being silent for a long time, he carefully handed the bamboo slip in his hand to him. He said seriously: "This is
It's a method of keeping out the cold taught by Ma Fujun. I copied a copy. Please be sure to teach it to the people of Yan State." The warrior was stunned, clenched the bamboo slips, and said in surprise: "What's going on? You defected.
Mr. Ma Fu from Zhao State?"
The visitor did not answer his question, but just shook his head and said, "Please help me take care of my family."
The samurai was a little scared and said hurriedly: "What kind of thing can't you tell me? You still have parents at home and a newly married wife. Why do you have the idea of dying?"
"I failed to fulfill your Majesty's order." The visitor said, slowly stood up, and bowed to his friend. The friend closed his eyes, sighed, and then asked: "You want to see your family.
Are you a relative?" The visitor shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking. He took out his sword again and placed it in front of his friend. Then he turned around and walked out. The warrior just watched him leave.
I wanted to say something, but I couldn't hold it back.
In the palace, King Yan was sitting on the throne, looking angrily at the warriors in front of him who had returned without success.
Not long ago, the angry King Yan summoned dozens of brave warriors in the country, rewarded them, and sent them to kill Ma Fujun. Not many warriors were willing to go, and the rest did not want to murder Ma Fujun, and because they themselves
Unable to fulfill King Yan's order, he committed suicide. In the end, only sixteen warriors went to Zhao State, but none of these people came back. Now this one is the only one who has returned.
King Yan was very happy when he heard the news. He thought that he dared to come back because he successfully killed Zhao Kuo. However, he did not expect that just after meeting the warrior, the warrior told him that he could not complete it.
With his own mission, King Yan's face became even more gloomy. He stared coldly at the warrior in front of him and said nothing. The warrior placed the bamboo slip in his hand in front of King Yan. King Yan picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it for a moment.
Then he asked: "What is this?"
"This is the method of keeping out the cold taught by Ma Fujun." The warrior failed to assassinate him again. All the words Ma Fujun said to him were told to King Yan. King Yan was stunned, took the bamboo slip in his hand, and looked at the warrior in front of him.
, asked in confusion: "Is this really what Zhao Kuo asked you to bring back?" The warrior nodded, and King Yan asked again: "Does this really work?"
"It works. I saw the finished product with my own eyes at Ma Fujun's place. It was made by a craftsman named Du."
King Yan fell silent. He looked around. The entire palace was empty. At this time, he always missed Lifu very much. Lifu could always solve the confusion in his heart. Thinking of this, he again
Vaguely regretting how he had dealt with Li Fu's family, he looked at the warrior in front of him and said displeasedly: "Go and call Ju Xing." The warrior was stunned, and hurriedly accepted the order and walked out of the palace.
King Yan was sitting in the palace, looking at the bamboo slips in his hands, his expression uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, the warriors brought an old man into the palace. The old man called him "Xing", and he was also Pang Lao.
My friend once assisted King Wu Ling, but because of his previous involvement in the affairs of the new king, he was not liked by King Yan. Now, the Yan Kingdom has lost one wise man after another, but King Yan thinks of him again.
Ju Xing was a thin old man with no grace. King Yan looked at him for a moment and then asked him to sit down.
"I sent people to kill Zhao Kuo." King Yan told Ju Xing what the warrior told him, and then asked: "Why did Zhao Kuo do this?" Ju Xing stroked his beard and said without hesitation:
"I heard that Ma Fujun is a wise man from the Zhao State. He once defeated Li Fu, but let the soldiers of the Yan State go. He now passes this method to the Yan State. It is also because of his benevolence and righteousness that he does not regard the Yan people as
Work is one's own enemy."
"Zhao is lucky to have such wise men."
"Isn't he trying to show his kindness to me? Isn't he expressing his desire for peace?" King Yan asked again. Ju Xing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, he once dared to tremble with thousands of people.
Prime Minister, could I still be afraid of assassins and show my favor to you?" King Yan thought for a long time, then nodded and asked: "What should I do?"
"You should teach this method to the people of Yan State. However, you cannot tell them that this is what Ma Fujun taught you. You can tell the people that this is a method that the warriors stole from Ma Fujun. Ma Fujun also killed two people of Yan State.
The warriors who stole this thing from the people of the country," Ju Xing said. King Yan was stunned, slowly stood up, and wandered back and forth in front of Ju Xing. Suddenly, King Yan laughed.
He shook his head and threw the bamboo slip on the case.
"I want to kill him because of Li Fu, Qing Qin, and Le Jian. Even if I am not a wise king like my eldest father, I am not a villain. Zhao Kuo can ignore the enmity between us and do something that is beneficial to the Yan State.
Tell me the method, how could I frame him like this? You can find the warriors who assassinated Zhao Kuo, and spread this method to all parts of Yan State, and tell them that this is what Ma Fujun taught them!"
Ju Xing looked at the King of Yan in front of him in surprise. He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Kuo is very famous in the Yan Kingdom. The soldiers all appreciate his benevolence and righteousness. If you do this, it will only make his reputation worse."
Higher, if he leads his soldiers to attack the Yan Kingdom in the future, how can the Yan people stop Zhao Kuo for you?" King Yan laughed, he clapped his hands, and immediately beautiful women filed in from the side with a smile,
There are more than a dozen people.
Even in such a cold winter, they wore very little. They gathered around King Yan, and some warriors brought wine and other things. King Yan drank the wine, hugged him from left to right, and sent for musicians.
Ju Xing looked at this scene blankly, and hurriedly pushed away the beauties in front of him, causing the beauties to scream. He walked up to King Yan, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do this."
"Just do what I said. By the way, you will serve as the Prime Minister of Yan State from now on. I will leave the rest of the affairs of Yan State to you!"
Ju Xing asked: "What if Zhao Kuo attacks Yan?"
"Then I will personally lead the troops! Drive him out of the Yan Kingdom!" King Yan said, laughing again, hugging the beauty in his arms tightly. Ju Xing was dumbfounded, looking at the extravagant and absurd scene in front of him, helpless
With a long sigh, he turned around and left. After seeing off Ju Xing, King Yan saw the helpless Yan warrior standing not far away. King Yan shouted angrily: "What are you still doing here?! You don't have
After completing your mission, do you still want to have fun with others? Go home!"
The warrior bowed deeply to King Yan and left the palace.
Until they left the palace, the warrior was a little confused. Should he die?
Xinzheng, South Korea, on the city wall, Xiang Xian stared at the Qin army camp in the distance, lost in thought. He had long known that Bai Qi would ambush him on the road, but even though he was prepared, he did not expect
, Bai Qi actually disguised himself as a fleeing Korean to ambush him. As soon as Xiang Xian passed through Nanyang and entered the land of Korea, he saw the defeated Korean army being chased by the Qin people. He immediately formed a formation to let the Koreans go.
After breaking up the troops, they pursued the Qin people in the distance.
However, these broken troops were faked by the Qin people. When they passed the Chu state's formation, they suddenly attacked, causing Xiang Xian's forward formation to be in chaos. Later, the Qin people pretended to pursue the Koreans and launched an attack directly. Bai Qi chose the last option.
The right time and the best place made the Chu army trapped in a narrow road, trampling on each other. If Xiang Xian had stopped his losses in time and blocked Bai Qi's strong attack, I am afraid that 50,000 Chu troops would have been annihilated by the opponent.
.
Bai Qi attacked quickly and evacuated very quickly. Xiang Xian was gathering the remaining soldiers and reorganizing them when he learned that the Korean army was ambushed, but he did not dare to support him at full speed. Therefore, when he arrived at the battlefield, Han
The people were killed cleanly. Korean general Feng Ting, who would rather die than surrender, died tragically in battle. The corpses of the Qin people were piled around him, and he died with his eyes open. Xiang Xian learned that Bai Qi pretended to be a Chu forward who came to rescue.
Shi, in a daze, killed the Korean troops.
Xiang Xian took these defeated soldiers and returned to Xinzheng.
Naturally, after returning from a great defeat and causing Feng Ting to die in battle, he was not greeted with a smile by the King of Han. King Han was very angry and gnashed his teeth. If it had not been for his failure, Feng Ting would not have died in the battle, nor would he.
There would not be so many Korean soldiers lost, but the King of Han suppressed his anger because there were less than 20,000 Korean soldiers left in Xinzheng, and he had to rely on Xiang Xian to resist Bai Qi.
However, he no longer had any hope for Xiang Xian.
This kind of despair is not only on the King of Han. The people of Korea have also lost confidence in the war. They are hiding in their houses in fear and dare not go out. The same is true for the Korean soldiers on the city wall. They just hear Bai Qi
The name made everyone tremble with fear and couldn't hold the weapons in their hands. Only the soldiers of Chu were better and had the will to fight. But the problem was that Xiang Xian didn't dare to leave the city at all.
After Bai Qi severely wounded him, he did not think about attacking Xinzheng by force. His soldiers disappeared without a trace. They occasionally appeared outside the city and occasionally disappeared without a trace. Just now, a corpse was tied to a horse and came to Xinzheng.
Under the city wall, these corpses were all envoys sent to Xinzheng from various places. They came to ask for help, hoping that the King of Han could save them. They were unable to resist Bai Qi.
Xiang Xian knew that this was Bai Qi's plan. He sent out scouts to investigate, but the scouts who came back were also tied to horses, their heads had been chopped off, and the headless bodies were hanging like this under the city wall. The Koreans were all
Almost collapsed, some Korean soldiers started jumping off the city wall to commit suicide. Xiang Xian didn't understand. He died because he was afraid of death??
At this time, Xiang Xian saw several knights appearing in the distance. The knights were slowly coming towards the city wall. They all had heads, not corpses. Xiang Xian looked at them seriously. They were from Qin.
!Xiang Xian immediately ordered the generals on the city wall to prepare for the enemy. At this moment, the knights had arrived under the city wall where Xiang Xian was. There were only twelve of them. The leader, Gao Gaoyang,
At first, he seemed to be observing the Chu people on the city wall.
Fortunately, the Chu people were not afraid of the Qin envoys. They looked at them with disdain and pointed their crossbows directly at them. The Koreans standing beside them had already begun to tremble at this moment. They seemed to be again
Thinking of those headless knights, they trembled and imitated the Chu soldiers, aiming their crossbows at the enemies below the city and looking at them in fear.
"We were sent by Lord Wu An to discuss the armistice with the King of Han!", the leading knight suddenly shouted in Korean.
"Whoosh", in an instant, a crossbow arrow was shot from the city wall, suddenly shooting a Qin soldier off his horse and falling to the ground, lifeless. The knights were furious and reined in their horses one after another.
, the leader did not retreat, but looked at Xiang Xian angrily, and cursed: "How can there be any reason in the world to treat an envoy like this?!" Xiang Xian was also very angry, and when he looked around, he saw a man in his teens.
The thin Korean soldier looked around in horror and cried: "I didn't do it on purpose."
Xiang Xian stared at him, but did not scold him. He turned to look at the leading Qin knight, and said in Chu language: "The continuation and end of the war! It should be a matter of negotiation between the kings. Lord Wu An, as Qin
Can the general of the country come to discuss with the King of Han on behalf of the King of Qin?!"
The Qin envoy gritted his teeth and stared angrily at Xiang Xian on the city wall. Then he looked at the corpse beside him and sneered: "You are a general of Chu. You are not qualified to participate in the war between South Korea and Qin."
, please report it to King Han and let him decide this matter!"
