A "rebellion" was quickly put down, and the strong smell of blood filled Songzicheng.
The Yan soldiers held spears and patrolled back and forth around the corpses. No one thought that since Yan invaded Zhao, the largest casualties would be caused by the women and children of Zhao. Thousands of Zhao people died this time. In the battle, they also killed more than 700 Yan people, and more Yan people were seriously injured. The crazy Zhao people completely frightened these Yan people, and even Tu did not suffer any more What an insult.
Li Fu sat in the upper position, listening to the officers' reports, gritted his teeth, and asked angrily: "Didn't I give the order not to beat or humiliate the Zhao people?"
The officer shrank back in fright, and then said: "They did not bully the Zhao people. As usual, it was the envoy of the Zhao State. He knew witchcraft. He used witchcraft on those Zhao people... Please You should order the messenger to be killed now. I heard that using mulberry wood can drive away ghosts. Please use mulberry wood to make a coffin and bury him so that he can no longer perform witchcraft." Li Fu's face twitched. Just now he said: "Bring the envoy of Zhao State to me."
"But..." The officer looked at Li Fu with some fear and wanted to persuade him. Li Fu suddenly threw the bamboo slips in his hand on his head and cursed: "Go quickly!"
The officer ran out. When he saw him leaving, Li Fu sighed and rubbed his forehead. Because this crusade against Zhao was a temporary move and he was worried about encountering strong resistance in Zhao, he summoned eight soldiers. An army of ten thousand came to attack the State of Zhao, which was claimed to be one hundred thousand. Among the eighty thousand troops, more than thirty thousand were soldiers recruited from Liaodong and other places. To put it simply, they were the barbarians in the newly expanded territory of the State of Yan.
Such things exist in all countries. For example, in Zhao State, after the conquest of Lin Hu, many Lin Hu people were incorporated into the ranks of soldiers. In terms of their behavior, language and culture, they are no different from the Zhao people. But Yan The country's expedition to Liaodong did not last long, and the people of Liaodong did not have a sense of belonging to the Yan Kingdom in their hearts. Their language could not be promoted, and they would not fight for the Yan Kingdom, and many of Lifu's orders could not be issued because They don't understand it at all!
The most terrible thing is that their captain, the captain, is from Yan. Thinking that the general can only command his army through gestures, Li Fu feels a little headache. He feels a little regretful in his heart, maybe he shouldn't recruit so many people. We should gather 40,000 of the most elite Yan people and attack Handan directly, but then I thought about it, Zhao State still has soldiers stationed in Yunmen and Daijun, and there are more than 20,000 elite soldiers in Handan, only four of them. In a siege battle, the Wanyan people could hardly defeat the Zhao people who were only slightly smaller than themselves.
The messenger Tu was brought to Li Fu, and it was the first time for him to see this fat general of Yan State. The messenger Tu was a little afraid, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at his face. Li Fu frowned and held his hand. On the bamboo slips, he calmly asked in Zhao language: "Did King Zhao send you here?" The messenger Tu shook his head hurriedly, took out the letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Fu respectfully. Li Fu was stunned for a moment, then started to look at it after taking it apart.
Li Fu looked at it several times, and suddenly laughed. He became much gentler, stood up hurriedly, and walked to the side of the messenger Tu. Tu was even more frightened. Li Fu held his hand cordially and said: "It turns out that You are Ma Fuzi's envoy. I have long heard of Ma Fuzi's reputation for benevolence and wanted to make friends with him. However, I didn't expect that sir, you actually brought a letter from him. Please forgive me for my rudeness. ..”
Lifu said, and asked Tu to sit down again, and hurriedly asked people to prepare meals to entertain Tu. Tu was a little confused, and Lifu's sudden change made him a little confused. Lifu chatted with him about his daily life, and gradually,
Tu Ye relaxed and talked about the situation of Zhao State. Li Fu sighed and said: "If it weren't for your Majesty's order, I wouldn't want to conquer Zhao State. I just want to be friends with Ma Fuzi."
of."
"Excuse me, where is Ma Fuzi now?" Li Fu asked.
Tu said: "When I left, Ma Fuzi had just left Handan and had not yet reached Bairen."
"Based on King Zhao's respect for Ma Fuzi, Ma Fuzi must have brought the 20,000 elites from the palace to attack me. Two people who were supposed to be friends ended up like this. What do you think is the reason for this?
What?" Li Fu said, shaking his head helplessly, Tu said with some dissatisfaction: "Where are the elites of the palace? Your Majesty refuses to let those people leave Handan and recruits soldiers from the people. I won't hide it from you, I am just a man.
The humble merchants were recruited helplessly."
"I used to be a businessman, hahaha, I didn't expect that."
"You too?" Tu heard that he was also a little happy.
Li Fu frowned, looked at him, and asked: "I see you are quite young, why are you still being recruited?"
"I...I am considered young in the army. You don't know that your Majesty conscripted a group of old and weak men and gave them to Ma Fuzi. Ma Fuzi marched no more than a few miles every day... Alas,
They even refused to give me more food and baggage. If it weren’t for my family, I would have left Zhao long ago.”
A hint of joy flashed in Lifu's eyes, and he continued chatting with Tu calmly. Tu was very happy because he received such courtesy from the Prime Minister of Yan State, and he directly proposed the idea of staying in the Yan Army.
He was a timid and cowardly businessman, and he had no intention of dying for the State of Zhao. As for Ma Fuzi, he also admired Ma Fuzi's character, but in the face of his own life, he could only say sorry.
Tu's performance made Li Fu dispel his doubts about him. Li Fu agreed to keep Tu by his side and arranged accommodation for him. He hurriedly summoned all the captains under his command. At this moment
, the sky was already a little dark, and the captains were about to take a rest, but Li Fu called them over, and walked into Li Fu's courtyard complaining. When everyone sat down, Li Fu said with a smile: "Please
Second and third sons, get ready, we will go straight to Hacheng tomorrow!"
Everyone was shocked, and an officer asked: "General, don't you want to wait for General Qin to join forces before attacking Haocheng?"
"Haha, I was originally worried that Zhao Kuo would lead the elite of the palace, so I didn't dare to underestimate him. I didn't expect that that idiot King Zhao only gave Zhao Kuo thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people. Zhao Kuo hasn't even come out yet.
Handan City, let alone Haocheng, I'm afraid even when we captured Bai Ren, he didn't come here!" Li Fu said with a big smile, and everyone laughed when they heard Li Fu's words.
“Thousands of people??”
"King Zhao is sending Zhao Kuo to die!"
"We must capture Zhao Kuo alive this time and let the Zhao people see what their hero looks like in front of us!"
Li Fu stroked his beard and said seriously: "Go straight to Haocheng tomorrow, take Hacheng first, then take Bairen, and besiege Handan!"
"only!!"
........
In the mountain forest some distance away from Song Zicheng, Zhao Kuo and the knights were resting around a bonfire. Handan Zao didn't know when he came to Zhao Kuo's side. Zhao Kuo glanced at him, and Handan Zao smiled.
He took out an egg from his hand and put it into Zhao Kuo's hand. Zhao Kuo was stunned for a moment and was about to say something, but stopped again, smiled, ate a few mouthfuls, and Handan Zao brought another water bag.
"General..." Handan Zao hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Do you still blame me for attacking rashly?"
Zhao Kuo smiled, knocked on his forehead, and said just now: "I blame you for what you did, I treat you as my own brother..." He then said seriously: "But, disobeying military orders,
It is not something that soldiers can do. This involves the lives of many people, so we must obey it seriously." Handan Zao listened and said with a silly smile: "As long as you don't blame me, I will note it."
The two were chatting when suddenly, Zhao Fu came out from the forest and said hurriedly: "General! The Yan people are leaving the city! They are marching in the direction of Haocheng!"
Zhao Kuo jumped up suddenly, and the knights also got up one after another and followed Zhao Fu all the way.
