"Nowadays, it is said all over the Zhao Kingdom that you revealed General Bai Qi's affairs to Zhao Kuo. Many people in Zhao praised you for your kindness and righteousness..." the retainer said with a strange expression. Fan Ju sat down In front of the wooden case, he was dealing with government affairs. After hearing the report from his retainers, he suddenly raised his head, squinted his eyes, and asked: "I am this kind of person. Zhao people love me. Is there anything wrong with this?"
When the retainer heard this, his expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "The master of the family is naturally such a person." However, another old retainer sitting next to him said displeasedly: "You are the prime minister of Qin State, and you have never really If you want to pass military information to Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo definitely has no reason to love you."
When Fan Ju heard this, he became furious and frowned and asked: "You mean, I, Fan Ju, am not a righteous person and only have a bad reputation in the world. Is that so?" In front of him, two guests, the younger one, sat. The person who came to deliver the information was so frightened that his face turned pale. He looked at the old customer over there and kept blinking. The old customer turned a blind eye and said, "This is nectar, and that's arsenic."
Fan Ju snorted coldly, squinted his eyes, and said again: "I made Zhao Kuo famous, Zhao Kuo is repaying my kindness." After saying that, he looked at the retainer in front of him and asked: "Bai Qi Have you heard the news there?"
The young man nodded, "General Bai Qi learned about this and thought it must be Zhao Kuo's counter-intentional plan, so he ignored it."
"Do you think he really won't care about this matter?"
The young man thought for a moment and said hurriedly: "Bai Qi doesn't respect you on weekdays. He seems to be humble, but in fact he is arrogant and arrogant. He also hates you for being favored by the king. I think he will definitely use this matter to attack you." Attack." Fan Ju nodded, glanced at the old customer again, and asked: "What do you think?"
The old disciple said solemnly: "The Marquis of Ying is the arm of Qin, and Lord Wu'an is the long sword of Qin. How can one with bare hands or a broken arm be able to stab the enemy?"
"Do you think I can't achieve anything without Bai Qi?!" Fan Ju asked angrily.
The young man hurriedly said: "He is old and unconscious. Please don't blame me. In response to your talent, Bai Qi is not worthy to be compared with you." However, the old retainer said displeasedly: "General Xianghe. Even Lin Xiangru of the State of Zhao knew this. How could you not know it? I came to serve you because of your talent. I didn’t expect you to be such an ignorant and mediocre person. Please kill me. I I won’t follow you anymore.”
Fan Ju was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Here comes someone!" Immediately, some soldiers rushed in. Fan Ju pointed at the young man and said, "Take him down and kill him." The young man turned pale with shock. When the soldiers rushed over and shouted: "What sin do I have?", Fan Ju said coldly: "As a human minister, you can't point out my shortcomings and just flatter me blindly. You are as dishonest as you are. What is the use of coming?"
The young man could no longer speak, and was dragged down crying. At this time, Fan Ju stood up, bowed to the old guest, and said: "Please forgive my behavior just now. You are a loyal man." He is a person worthy of my trust." The old customer also stood up and returned the greeting to him. He even said that he did not dare. Then he said with some unbearability: "Although he is not upright, he is young after all. Can you forgive him? Where is his life?"
Fan Ju said seriously: "I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, but I heard that once a down-and-out person has wealth, it is easy to believe those flattering words and gradually forget his own ambitions. The reason why I want to kill him is to wake him up."
You, don’t lose your past aspirations just because of your current wealth.”
It’s hard for the old customers to give any more advice.
Fan Ju smiled again and said: "I am a person who always pursues the greatest results in my work. If I kill him just because of this matter, it is not worth it. Please tell others that this person is my close retainer. He is here."
He slandered Lord Wu An in front of me and wanted me to suppress Lord Wu An, so I killed him."

When the robbery... No, when Li Mu passed through Danshui, he was indeed shocked by the scene in front of him. He had also fought in battles, but the scale was not large, and he had only seen military formations of thousands of people.
That's all. He had never seen a military camp with hundreds of thousands of people like this. Such a scene was very shocking. He chatted endlessly along the way, which made Li Mu doubt the life of Di. He had no education. He could only look at it blankly.
Several military formations in the distance murmured: "It's so big."
Li Mu was different. Having read some art of war, he could probably figure out General Lian Po's arrangement. Under the Qin's repeated attacks, the Zhao people still lost Shangdang County, and the army retreated to the Changping area.
, Lian Po stationed his army in Changping. Just after crossing Danshui, you can see four camps of Zhao people. These four camps are on high slopes, with their backs to Danshui and facing Changping.
When Li Mu and Di passed by here, the Zhao people and soldiers were very vigilant and kept checking and verifying their identities. It turned out that these four camps all stored food. Lian Po specially set up four camps at this location to store food.
These camps are all on high slopes, and the surrounding trees have been cut down to maximize the view. This place is called Zhiziling.
Li Mu was observing the situation here all the way. After learning their identities, a lieutenant sent two soldiers to take them to General Lian Po. Along the way, Li Mu was speechless. Instead, Di
, chatting with the accompanying soldiers, and after just a moment, they became familiar with them, like old friends. Di talked about those things about Zhao Kuo, and the two soldiers who heard them were so excited that they wanted to join Zhao Kuo immediately.
He was under the command of Kuo Kuo and followed him through life and death.
"I'm telling you two and three sons one thing. You must not tell anyone else." Di lowered his voice.
"Please tell me, we will never tell others!"
Li Mu did not expect that Di was very conscientious and started to carry out what Zhao Kuo ordered so quickly. Li Mu ignored him and just observed Zhao Jun's camp intently. Zhao Jun was not just stationed in Changping.
There was not just one camp. Along the way, Li Mu had already seen eight Zhao Kingdom camps, each located in different places. The big one was as big as a village and accommodated thousands of soldiers, and the small one was just one.
There were only seven or eight soldiers standing at the sentry post, serving as a hub for delivering messages.
The cavalry kept whizzing past them. When they saw these two people who were not dressed as soldiers, the cavalry would always stop and question them. The sound of soldiers practicing could be heard in the distance, howling like thunder and beating drums.
During the banner hunting, soldiers were everywhere, and there was almost no empty place or civilians. King Zhao followed Yu Qing's suggestion and transferred many Korean people from Shangdang County and brought them back to Zhao.
Compared with the Qin State, these Korean people also prefer the Zhao State.
Finally, Li Mu and Di arrived at Changping City. Changping City was the center point of the entire Zhao Kingdom's defense line. General Lian Po was also stationed here. Facing the main force of the Qin people, the two soldiers took them to the east city gate and headed toward the defenders. The general at the city gate told his identity and the purpose of Li Mu and others' coming. The general just opened the door and let Li Mu and others in. The two soldiers could no longer accompany them, so they reluctantly said goodbye to Di. Just left.
After entering the city, you can see the demolished houses and the soldiers who are constantly coming and going. Walking down the city wall is a young captain. This captain is probably only a little older than Li Mu, and he is also not. He grew a beard, looked at Li Mu in front of him proudly, and asked: "You are the one who wants to meet General Lian Po?" Li Mu was immediately unhappy, but did not have an attack. He nodded and said: "I am holding the horse uniform. I came here to pay homage to General Lian Po at your command."
"Ma Fuzi?", the young captain was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Is he coming to Changping?"
"No, you just want me to bring a few words to General Lian Po."
"Oh..." The young man looked a little disappointed. He nodded and motioned for them to follow him, and then walked towards Lian Po's main camp. Di walked to him with a smile, wanting to follow him After saying a few words, the young man ignored them. The young man took them to the palace of Chang Pingyuan, and then said lazily: "General Lian Po is here. If you have anything else to do, you can come. Look for me at the east city gate, I will call you Sima Shang."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Mu stared at him and snorted coldly.
To become a captain at such a young age must be an ignorant nobleman.
