Zhao Kuo was sitting indoors, looking at the map of Zhao State seriously.
Most of Yan's defeated troops were concentrated in the two areas of Haocheng and Songzicheng, while other places such as Fangfang, Yuanshi, Fenglong, Yi'an, Fei, Xiyang, Jiumen, Quan, Ningjia, Shicheng and other cities,
They were all under the control of the Yan people. Only Longdui and Wu Sui, which bordered the Yan State, were cut off by the Zhao knights. The Yan people were attacked from two sides and trapped in Zhongshan. Zhao Kuo suddenly regretted it at this moment.
.
Maybe he shouldn't let the knights in the clouds cut off the enemy's retreat. In this way, the enemy can probably return to the Yan Kingdom along the same route. But now they have no retreat, no general in command, and they dare not attack by force. If they
They fled into Taiyuan and other areas and became rogues. At that time, it was unknown how many people would be tortured by them. Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly, looked at Zhao Fu on the side, and asked: "The reinforcements still haven't arrived yet.
?”
Zhao Fu shook his head and said nothing.
Now Zhao Kuo has too few troops. If reinforcements arrive, he can quickly send troops to the direction of Dunyu Mountain and Changcheng, control Shicheng in the west, Jingxingsai two cities, and Changcheng in the east, and then let Yunzhong
The knights rushed to Zuoren, Quyang and Lingshou in the west, and rushed to Kuxing and Quyang in the east. They joined Zhao Kuo's army, surrounded the enemy from three sides, and drove them back to the Yan Kingdom along the same route.
The biggest problem is that the reinforcements have not been seen yet. With the infantry in hand, it is not easy to defend Bairen, let alone rushing to these cities to defend. Zhao Kuo really doesn't understand. Logically speaking,
For example, after he defeated the Yan people, King Zhao would not refuse to send reinforcements. The reinforcements he wanted were all cavalry. Why didn't they arrive at Bairen for so long?
For a moment, the room seemed a little quiet, and neither of them spoke.
"General!", the young man hurriedly walked into the room, breaking the silent atmosphere. Zhao Kuo looked at him quickly. The young man called him Zhao Bu, a son of the clan, the son of Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao, and the same brother as today's Zhao Bu.
The kings are brothers of the same generation. However, Zhao Bao has too many sons. It is hard to say whether King Zhao remembers this younger brother. Zhao Bu is not as arrogant as Handan Zao. Instead, he seems a little inferior and does not dare to talk to Zhao Bu.
Kuo speaks.
Zhao Kuo heard his voice tremble a little and asked, "What happened?"
"The Yan people have abandoned Haocheng and are coming towards Bai Ren!" Zhao Bu said seriously, and Zhao Kuo saw that his whole body was trembling slightly. Zhao Kuo stood up and looked at the people beside him.
Zhao Fu, Zhao Fu was also very surprised. The Yan people had no food and grass, and even the general and deputy generals were killed. How could they dare to attack Bai Ren? Is it possible that the man named Yangji really has such ability? Can he?
Quickly pacify a defeated army, and then organize another attack?
"Let's go to the city wall!" Zhao Kuo's injuries gradually improved and he was able to walk normally without wearing armor. He led the two of them out of the inner room and saw Ge squatting in the courtyard to repair him.
The chariots were clanging, and they found Zhao Kuo coming out in a hurry. Ge also stood up and looked at them doubtfully. Zhao Fu whispered: "The Yan people are coming." Ge then dropped his hand.
He hurriedly followed Zhao Kuo.
After walking up the city wall, several old soldiers hurriedly paid homage to Ma Fuzi. After Zhao Kuo returned the greeting, he squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. Sure enough, the Yan people appeared outside the city again, but they didn't look like them.
It looked like they were about to attack the city. There were no cavalry to clear the way, and there was no division of the three armies. There was not even a formation. They walked towards Bairen City in groups of three and three, and it was chaotic.
This made Zhao Kuo even more surprised. What on earth do these Yan people want to do?
Soon, these people gathered under the city, and Zhao Kuo could see clearly that most of these Yan soldiers were unarmed. Even the group at the front were naked and tied behind their backs.
Holding branches and other objects... Carrying thorns to plead guilty? Zhao Kuo looked at them blankly. Suddenly, a Yan soldier with a thick beard walked under the city wall, raised a human head in his hand, and shouted: "Yan soldiers
Please surrender!"
Zhao Fu hurriedly translated for Zhao Kuo: "They want to surrender."
"General, beware of their deceit... Why don't you order them to retreat first, and then we will send people to negotiate with them..." Zhao Fu said, Zhao Kuo shook his head, and asked: "Are you willing to talk to them?
Shall I meet these Yan people? I don’t understand the Yan language..." Fu Zhao said hurriedly: "Then please let me go out of the city alone to meet them. Please stay in the city to prevent being kidnapped by the enemy."
"It's okay... If they intend to attack the city, how can I resist them even if I'm in the city?" Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Bu beside him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If something happens,
Please don't worry about me, just shoot me with a strong bow! This is my military order, you must obey it!" Zhao Bu's face turned red and he nodded heavily. Zhao Kuo then walked down the city. Zhao Fu also wanted to say
But he just sighed and followed Zhao Kuo.
The city gate slowly opened, and Zhao Kuo and Zhao Fu walked out of the city and looked at the Yan soldiers in front of them.
Zhao Kuo was not wearing a military uniform, but most of the soldiers recognized him. Some knew him after being captured, and some knew him on the battlefield. When his chariot was heading towards them, they could see clearly
Seeing Zhao Kuo's terrifying face, the defeated soldiers immediately became a little uneasy. Several of them subconsciously wanted to retreat, and even fell down. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
Zhao Kuo smiled, walked directly to the thick-bearded Yan soldier, and asked: "Second and third sons, do you want to go home?"
Zhao Fu was translating on the side, and the soldier suddenly knelt on one knee in front of Zhao Kuo, raised the head in his hand, and said: "We heard that Ma Fuzi only pursued the crimes of generals, so we killed Bo.
All the generals above, please forgive us for our crimes and let us go home." Wow, many Yan soldiers knelt down one after another. Zhao Bu on the wall could see the dense crowd of Yan people most clearly.
Kneeling in front of Zhao Kuo, this scene made Zhao Bu's eyes widen and he was particularly excited.
Zhao Kuo then noticed that the soldiers at the front were holding some heads in their hands. Most of these people died with eyes wide open. They never thought that one day, they would die at the hands of the slaves they drove.
In his hands, Zhao Kuo helped up the Yan soldiers kneeling in front of him. It seemed that he was the leader of these soldiers. Zhao Kuo looked at him seriously and said: "I will let the second and third sons return to Yan."
country."
Zhao Kuo accepted the heads of the Yan people, and then appointed Zhao Fu and others to lead the Yan people back to their hometown. Zhao Kuo did not have much food in stock here, but there were many large and small rivers here.
Going north, there is no shortage of fish, and there are also a lot of wild vegetables along the road, which can be eaten by wild animals. Zhao people who are familiar with this place are leading the way. As long as these strong Yan people work harder, they will not starve to death on the way.
The reason why they were trapped in Hacheng, unable to escape, and unable to find any food, was mainly because they did not know the surrounding environment. Li Fu, who had a map, had died in the formation, and the soldiers could not even tell the direction.
Not to mention leaving the city to hunt and fish. After learning that they could return to the Yan Kingdom and Zhao Kuo would not kill them, these Yan people seemed very excited and burst into tears.
They have been away from their hometown for a long time. They miss their families and everything in their hometown.
Zhao Fu took dozens of cavalry and decided to serve as their guide and lead them back to the Kingdom of Yan. Zhao Kuo also ordered him. When he met the knights in the clouds, he told them his military order not to kill these soldiers and let them escort them along the way.
These soldiers returned to the State of Yan. The soldiers of the State of Yan bowed to Zhao Kuo and paid homage, thanking him again and again for his kindness, then wiped their tears and walked behind them.
The soldier with the thick beard stayed for a long time, looking at Zhao Kuo seriously, as if he wanted to remember his face deeply.
"Do you want to stay with me?"
After Zhao Fu translated, the soldier just shook his head. Zhao Kuo didn't say anything else. Zhao Fu opened the way at the front and everyone went back one by one. The strong soldier looked at Zhao Kuo and whispered: "You are really a good person."
A benevolent person, I am not lucky enough to follow you. This is my greatest regret. Please take care of me. After I die, I will use straw ropes to trap your enemies and repay your kindness."
"What did you say? I don't understand Yan language." Zhao Kuo asked in confusion.
