"I'm a little tired. Please chop some firewood and light a fire here to rest!" The old cow was lowering his head and eating the grass. The car was parked aside, and Xunzi was sitting in the car, saying very sternly. Said to Lord Linwu. Speaking of which, Lord Linwu was particularly angry. I don’t know why, but since he left Zhao, Xunzi has become more and more harsh on himself, with a very bad attitude. He is always blaming and embarrassing him. he.
Lord Linwu is like Xunzi's servant. No, Xunzi is not so harsh on his servants, not even as harsh as his servants. He does all the hard work. Anyone who complains will be punished by Xunzi. Dun Education, if it comes to war, he might be able to talk to Xunzi, but when it comes to big principles, even if ten Linwu Lords are tied together, they are no match for Xunzi.
"I thought you were my friend, so I was willing to escort you to Qi, but why did you treat me like this?" Finally, Lord Linwu became angry and asked angrily.
Xunzi didn't even open his eyes. He replied: "The Chu soldiers who followed you at the beginning also regarded you as their lord and were willing to follow you on the battlefield. But didn't you also behave in the same way? Beating, scolding, insulting, and being arrogant and arrogant. , ignored their dignity and lives, and finally killed all the people who followed you. Isn't this more serious than what I did? I will not ask for your life."
Blue veins popped up on Lord Linwu's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to Chu State to confess my sins and use my own life to correct my mistakes. Isn't that enough? Why do you still insult me like this?"
Xunzi opened his eyes suddenly and reprimanded angrily: "Is your life comparable to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers who were killed by you?!"
Lord Linwu's clenched fists gradually loosened, he let out a long sigh, and said nothing more.
.......
Zhao Kuo was so tired. Everything he had experienced in these days seemed to have taken away his decades of energy and returned to Bai Ren. He still had a lot of things to do, but sitting at the table, he didn't know Why, he just fell asleep. When he woke up, he was already lying on the bed. The sunlight came in through the window, and there were a few more light spots on his body. Zhao Kuo looked at the sunlight and saw the wounds on his body. The bursts of severe pain made him grit his teeth and grin.
Only then did Zhao Kuo look at the injuries on his body. Two arrow wounds and one stab wound were all treated by Zhao Fu. The rough man's skills were very poor, and the cloth that was originally tied had turned into It was black mixed with blood and soil, and now, it seemed that someone had helped him deal with it again. Zhao Kuo sat up slowly, squinting his eyes slightly, enjoying the sunshine. After just sitting for a moment, he suddenly remembered something, He suddenly jumped up from the bed and walked towards the door.
As soon as they reached the door, someone opened the door and walked in. The person who came was Ge. Ge was wearing a military uniform and a short sword. His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. He looked at Zhao Kuo solemnly and asked: "Young Master Jun, what happened?"
Zhao Kuo asked nervously: "How long have I slept?"
"Young Master, you haven't slept for too long. It's Chen time now."
"It's time to eat..." Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. He found his military uniform and was about to change it. Ge stopped him and said: "Dong Chengzi sent a set of armor last night. You still have to wear it?" Wear something new." Soon, he brought over the armor given by Dong Chengzi. Zhao Kuo put on the new clothes. Dong Chengzi was still loyal. Zhao Kuo originally wore cloth armor made of rhinoceros skin. Made of armor, it has an armor body, armor sleeves, and an armor skirt. The lower row longitudinally presses the upper row, and the armor is braided with armor pieces.
Now, what Dong Chengzi presented as a gift was armor made of iron sheets in the shape of willow leaves, which had been threaded together. There was even a helmet, which could be called iron armor. In terms of defense, it was directly improved to a higher level. Zhao Kuo had no time to think about the armor, which was a bit heavy. After Zhao Kuo put it on, Ge brought some food. Zhao Kuo ate the food and asked about the situation of food and grass.
Ge puffed out his chest and said with some pride: "I led the army and rushed here. There was not much food and grass left. Unexpectedly, Bo Ren gathered a large number of people and some nobles. They heard that it was Ma Fuzi's army. They all offered food, grass, and even wild vegetables dug from the roadside, and they all came to us... It can be seen that you, Ma Fuzi..."
"Bang!" Zhao Kuo slapped the case with his palm. Ge was startled. Zhao Kuo raised his head angrily and said, "Didn't I already have an order not to ask for people's supplies?"
"Shaojun, I didn't ask for it. They sent it themselves. I..." Ge was speechless. He couldn't explain clearly, and his face turned red with anxiety. Zhao Kuo then said: "Pass my military order, don't take anything from the people anymore... We are here to protect them, not to kill them. Along the way, so many people died of hunger and freezing. They fell into the hands of Yan people's soldiers. If you escape, will you die in the hands of Zhao soldiers?"
Ge lowered his head and could only rush to deliver the order. Zhao Kuo also quickly finished his meal and walked out of the house. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw soldiers running in the distance, holding weapons and circling around. Running in the county town, there were still a few children laughing and following behind them. Zhao Kuo nodded and did not forget to practice, which was good. But when they saw him coming out, the children screamed again and ran towards him. Came over.
Zhao Kuo laughed and picked up the little guy who rushed the fastest. The little guy was very brave when he rushed towards him, but when he was picked up by Zhao Kuo, he was very restrained. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak. , the other little guys gathered around Zhao Kuo, some were playing with his armor and skirt curiously, and some were holding his legs. Zhao Kuo laughed. At this moment, a person hurriedly rolled up from a distance. Meatball...is Dong Chengzi.
"Go play somewhere else!" Dong Chengzi waved his hand and drove away the children. He stood panting in front of Zhao Kuo, wiping the sweat from his forehead. After a moment, he looked at Zhao Kuo. The armor on his body, he said with a smile: "It really fits!" Zhao Kuo hurriedly thanked him for the gift. Dong Chengzi waved his hand generously and said: "I also want to be like you and go through life and death on the battlefield, but I have been No chance."
"I heard that only good spindles can weave the best fabrics in the hands of people who are good at weaving, and this set of armor can withstand swords only on the body of a warrior like you." Dong Chengzi said, and then Leading Zhao Kuo toward the military camp, Dong Chengzi did not forget to tell Zhao Kuo about his achievements as he walked on the road. He said: "I originally wanted to fight to the death with the Yan people, but after hearing your order, I had no choice but to comply and retreated here."
"As soon as the army arrived, I immediately arranged them in the west of the city. This is because the gate in the west of the city is wider, making it easier for the army to enter and exit. I have also prepared food and supplies..." Zhao Kuo nodded from time to time. , and don’t forget to say thank you.
The entire residential area in the east of the city has been converted into a school ground. From a distance, you can see soldiers practicing. Some are running long distances, some are shooting arrows, and some are fighting each other with long sticks.
Seeing them coming, Ge, Zhao Fu and others also came to Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo smiled and asked, "Who arranged this drill?" Zhao Fu looked at Ge, who raised his head proudly.
At first, Zhao Kuo said: "I have known for a long time that Ge is a trustworthy person!"
After talking for a while, Zhao Kuo ordered Zhao Fu and others: "Please take charge of your own soldiers according to the original establishment first. The vacant camp commanders will be filled from among the chiefs, and the chiefs will be filled from the chiefs, and so on.
. Then select some elites from the soldiers to serve as corps commanders, very senior." Speaking of this, Zhao Kuo's face was obviously a little more lonely. He originally led a group of officers to attack the Yan people's food and grass, and the officers were killed and injured.
It was so disastrous that it completely disrupted his original arrangement.
However, those young nobles who were previously frivolous and restless have now changed and are now able to take on important responsibilities.
Everyone was busy, Zhao Kuo just watched from the side, Dong Chengzi looked at them, smiled, and then asked: "Ma Fuzi, when will the rest of the army arrive?"
"Army? All my troops are already in front of you."
"Ah?? Just these few thousand people??" Dong Chengzi's face turned pale. He looked a little frightened and his teeth seemed to be chattering. He asked: "Then what should we do?" Zhao Kuo smiled.
, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I'm here. Please find someone who is familiar with the surrounding area for me. I have something to ask." Dong Chengzi called a retainer and gave instructions.
After a few words, the doorman ran out.
Soon, the doorman led a majestic half-hundred-year-old man to Zhao Kuo. The old man frowned, was tall, and had slightly bowed legs. This was proof of long-term riding. He even wore a short sword. The young man
At that time, he must have been a warrior. He stood in front of Zhao Kuo, bowed his hands, raised his head, and asked loudly: "Please tell me, Ma Fuzi, when will we kill the Yan thief?"
This old man looks a bit familiar...
Zhao Kuo was startled and asked hurriedly: "Are you the father of Li Mu?"
