Li Yu finally met Ming. After asking many Wei people, he finally met Ming on the way to Zhao. The soldiers of Zhao were pretending to be retainers and were protecting them around. The meeting between the two was also very special.
After talking happily for a long time, Li Yu continued on his way. Li Yu said angrily: "I originally thought Lord Xinling was a moral gentleman, but I didn't expect that he is not even as good as Lord Pingyuan."
Then, he told Ming the farce that Wei Wuji had instigated his subordinates to do because he did not want to borrow food. Ming smiled and said, "There are so many people in the world. It is impossible for everyone to be a gentleman. There are gentlemen.
Of course there will be villains, but fortunately I still bought food. I didn't have any hope at first, but I didn't expect that I actually bought 200,000 shi of millet and 50,000 shi of wheat."
Li Yu was stunned and asked: "How much did you say?"
"Two hundred thousand shi of millet and 50,000 shi of wheat were sold to me by one person. The people of Wei are really rich."
"What is the name of the man who sold you the grain?"
"I don't know, and he refused to tell me. He must be a steward who secretly sold the owner's grain. Although I hate such people, the State of Zhao needs grain, so we have to take it."
"Is he a dark-faced, honest-looking young man?"
"Oh? Do you know him?" At this time, Ming was a little surprised.
"Oh! It's broken!" Li Yu frowned, hurriedly reined in his horse, turned around and was about to leave. Ming hurriedly asked: "Where are you going??"
"Please move on, I'm going to apologize!!" Li Yu shouted, and then rode away.
............
Zhao Guo, Haocheng.
Because of Zhao Kuo's previous orders, the people of Haocheng had already fled here. They took away everything they could. Especially after receiving Zhao Kuo's order not to leave anything to the Yan people, they wished they could even leave the well.
Haocheng, which was carried away and was in a dangerous position, has now become an empty city. When Zhao Kuo led many knights to pass by, he also saw this dead city.
Li Fu did not launch an attack here. It seemed that the chaos caused by his attack on the Yan army was not over yet. In other words, he was preparing to join Qing Qin and then march to Haocheng. Zhao Kuo did not stop here.
, he wanted to return to Bai Ren quickly. The knights followed Zhao Kuo and quickly left Haocheng, galloping in the direction of Bai Ren. The road was not close, their horses were extremely tired, and their speed was very slow.
.
The situation here in Lifu was also particularly bad. The flames were finally extinguished, but 80% of the food and grass prepared by the Yan State for the army was burned down. This food and grass was only enough for the Lifu army for ten days, and the food and grass were not enough.
The biggest problem, the biggest problem is the morale of the army. After a camp bombing, the Yan army suffered heavy losses. Most of them killed each other in the dark, and there were countless deserters.
Generals need to reorganize their armies.
The rear army was almost collapsed. The Zhao people brought them great fear. They were like frightened rabbits. They were on tenterhooks all day long. Even on the night of the second day, they listened to the sound of the hoofbeats of their cavalry and thought
It was the Zhao people who attacked and almost caused another camp bombing. The rear army lost its combat effectiveness. The front army and the middle army remained intact, but they could not hold on for too long without food.
Li Fu could only give an order to Qing Qin, asking Qing Qin to stop attacking Yuanshi City and join him quickly. He still had some food there, so the army would not be out of food. At the same time, he sent people to Yan State.
He wrote letters, hoping to get food and assistance. But Li Fu did not expect that this was the beginning of his nightmare. The news that Yan State was attacked and defeated by Zhao State spread. Those deserters were the best proof. They talked about Zhao Kuo's
It was so scary that I shivered with fear.
People all over the Zhao Kingdom went crazy again.
Ma Fuzi did not disappoint them, and they could not disappoint Ma Fuzi. The resistance in various places became more and more serious. In Yuanshi City, some people actually set fire to Qing Qin's grain and grass. At that time, Qing Qin's soldiers mobilized
The local people came to push the cart for them, but fortunately it did not cause a fire and was immediately put out. Three days later, Qing Qin came late. He frowned and paid a visit to Li Fu with a displeased look on his face.
As soon as he saw Li Fu, he was scolded.
It is said that the two had a quarrel, and the Yan soldiers found that the food they could use every day was getting less and less, which made them even more dissatisfied, and they also knew that their food and grass had been burned by the Zhao people, so ever since
, this complaint turned into dissatisfaction with Lifu. If it weren't for his incompetence, how could this situation have happened? The soldiers' war-weariness was also increasing. Lifu was a little at a loss. He could only order the army to set off earlier.
Capture the city of Haocheng.
Just when Li Fu came to Haocheng, he discovered that it was a dead city. There were not even living animals in the lifeless city. The Zhao people left nothing behind. Even the wells were blocked by them and the houses were destroyed.
After it was demolished, Li Fu gritted his teeth and said nothing. His time became increasingly tight. Even with the food brought by Qing Qin, it was not enough. He did not stop at Haocheng, and the army went directly towards Bai
Rush in the direction of Ren.
At this time, Zhao Kuo and a group of knights finally arrived at Bai Ren.
Compared with Haocheng, Bairen can't even be considered a city. It is just a small village. The city wall is extremely short. You don't even need a ladder to climb up. However, it seems that someone is strengthening the city. You can vaguely see it.
When someone was piling stones on the city wall, Zhao Kuo had just arrived at the city gate. There was chaos in Bairen. They thought they were coming from Yan people. Ge who was busy on the city wall took one look and shouted:
"The person coming is Ma Fuzi!"
As a result, the city became even more chaotic.
However, this time it was because of excitement. Surrounded by everyone, Ge and a group of people opened the city gate and walked out in the direction of Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo dismounted his horse, and the knights dismounted one after another. A local official,
He led everyone to pay homage to Zhao Kuo, who was an acquaintance. When Zhao Kuo borrowed grain from Lord Pingyuan, a Dong Chengzi once sent him grain, and it was this Dong Chengzi who led everyone out of the city.
His fat and white face was stained with some dust. When he saw Zhao Kuo in front of him, he was particularly excited. He held Zhao Kuo's hand and almost cried. Zhao Kuo comforted him with a few words and then looked at Ge.
, Ge frowned and looked at the bloody and scarred Zhao Kuo in front of him. He was speechless. Zhao Kuo was a little tired and asked: "The army has arrived at Bai Ren?"
"We arrived the day before. Dong Chengzi was reinforcing the city defense here, so I stayed to help. The people of Haocheng said they had received your order and came here... What about you?", Ge Kan
Looking at Zhao Kuo, he paused and then asked: "Are you okay?"
Zhao Kuo smiled towards him.
"I am fine."
In the small city of Bairen, a large number of Zhao people gathered. All the fleeing people seemed to have gathered here just because they heard that Ma Fuzi was here. Finally, Ma Fuzi came, and he led
A horse, wearing a military uniform, leading some knights, walked in from the city gate. The people gathered around and poked their heads out to see that the horse's clothes were in a mess at the moment, with cloth tied all over the body, and the military uniform was torn and stained with blood.
.
However, this did not affect the people's enthusiastic respect for him. These blood were shed for them.
Facing thousands of people, Zhao Kuo just smiled and nodded towards them. The people cheered, and the sound seemed to overthrow the entire Bairen. Everyone was happy, except Zhao Kuo and him.
The knights were very tired, very tired. Dong Chengzi was originally the city guard of Haocheng. After hearing Ma Fuzi's order, he led his people to Bairen and took over the defense here.
He really wanted to host a banquet in honor of Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo refused his kindness.
It's not time to celebrate now. The previous attack only made the Yan people lose their ability to fight for a long time, and the real war is about to begin now.
