In the Battle of Bairen, the Yan people suffered heavy casualties. In fact, there were 80,000 troops. After this bitter battle, only more than 50,000 people were left. Nearly 30,000 people died directly or indirectly on the battlefield.
, Zhao Fu walked with these mortal enemies, the atmosphere was indescribable silence. Along the way, the Zhao people who led the way did not speak to them. Both sides had blood feuds. Unlike Zhao Kuo, they could easily forgive these people.
They didn't really agree with Zhao Kuo's order in their hearts. Looking at these defeated troops who lit bonfires, ate fish, danced weird swallow dances, and sang swallow songs that gave them a headache, Zhao Fu even thought in his heart, this is not the case at all.
We should let them go so easily, wait until the reinforcements arrive, capture them all, and kill them, so that we can be worthy of those comrades who died in the battle. In this way, the Yan State will not dare to attack within ten years.
Zhao Guo’s thoughts!
Fu Zhao was looking at them coldly. A soldier with a thick beard walked up to him holding a piece of barbecue and handed the fish with a smile. Fu Zhao said: "The reason why I sent you back to my country is just because I obeyed."
You killed my best friend because of Ma Fuzi's orders and not my willingness to forgive your crimes." The soldier was stunned, smiled bitterly, squatted beside him, and ate the fish.
"I am alone in the State of Yan. My father died in the State of Qi. My mother died of illness after hearing the bad news. I have an older brother who died in Liaodong. I inherited my father's title and served as a general.
I have been fighting with the barbarians in Liaodong... At that time, I enjoyed the war, leading my soldiers to conquer everywhere, killing enemies one after another, making countless gains, and receiving rewards again and again..."
"Are you a general?!" Zhao Fu suddenly became alert.
The soldier shook his head and continued: "Don't worry... When I came back from Liaodong, I found that my wife and children were dead. It turned out that a clan member stayed overnight and took the opportunity to insult my wife.
After being stabbed by her with a dagger, she killed my wife and son... I killed him, and the officials arrested me and wanted to interrogate me... General Lejian saved me because of my past military exploits, and I became a
He became an ordinary soldier."
"After becoming a soldier, I realized what real war is. Generals enjoy war and conquer everywhere, and we charge at the forefront. If we retreat, we will die, if we advance, we will die. If we win, we will not get any reward. If we are defeated, we will die."
, we will be beheaded, I have no grudges with the Zhao people, but if I don’t kill your friends, they will kill me, and the generals will not let me go... You say, do you want to live?
Is it also my crime?"
"Wanting to live is not a sin... but killing others in order to live is a sin."
"Then if you were me, what would you do? Will you let the enemy kill you, or would you be a deserter and be executed by the generals?"
"I..." Zhao Fu shook his head and said: "Ma Fuzi is a benevolent and righteous gentleman. He will not lead his innocent soldiers to invade other countries. I killed the enemy because I wanted to defend my hometown. This
It’s right and there is no crime.”
The soldier laughed and looked directly at Fu Zhao.
"So...I envy you very much."
The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom wanted to go home so strongly that they were not willing to rest and hurried on with all their strength. On the road, Zhao Fu met the knights from Yunzhong County again. These knights were originally responsible for guarding the soldiers.
Yunzhong County, which blocked the Hu people from plundering, cut off the connection between the Yan people and the Yan State due to Yu Qing's military order. At this moment, when they saw the Yan people's retreat, they seemed very excited. They were about to charge and kill them, but they were killed by Zhao.
Fu Suo stopped him.
Zhao Fu told them Zhao Kuo's military orders. Although these knights were very confused, they did not have the courage to disobey Zhao Kuo's orders. They surrounded the Yan people on both sides and attacked back and forth. This frightened the Yan people.
It's so embarrassing. If they bring Ma Fujun's flag again, I'm afraid the Yan people will escape... The Yan people speed up again. The knights even sent some food. They didn't show up in the war.
The casualties did not mean much harm to the Yan people.
The closer they got to the Yan Kingdom, the more silent the Yan soldiers became, and their speed became a little slower. They were all worried.
On this day, the bushy-bearded soldier summoned the surviving uncles and other officers among the Yan people. He had a high prestige in the army. Sitting by the river and warming himself over a bonfire, he said seriously: "If
They know that we killed the general, and they will not let us go..." He took another bite of barbecue and said with a smile: "Please kill me, take my head back, and tell them.
, I took the opportunity to assassinate the general and incited the soldiers to surrender."
The officers lowered their heads and said nothing.
"It seems that it is not enough for me to bear the responsibility alone. I also need the heads of several uncles..." He said, looking at an old soldier of the Yan Kingdom in the distance, and asked: "Ke,
You don't have a family, right? Are you willing to go on the road with me?" The old soldier was trembling all over, exhaled and said, "Okay."
"I will go with you too."
"No, you still have several children, and they will punish you for household chores."
"Tell all the soldiers about this. If you want to survive, you must say this."
Since the last conversation, Zhao Fu has never seen the Yan man who was demoted from a general to a soldier. Zhao Fu even searched carefully but could not find him. He thought that this guy was because
His identity was exposed and he escaped, so he did not continue to look for him. The Yan people lowered their heads and walked step by step towards the Yan State. Several uncles from the Yan State held heads in their arms and looked at Yan State blankly.
direction of the country.

Xu Li stood on the chariot and finally saw the outline of Bairen City.
The soldiers of Bai Rennei also discovered the reinforcements. When the chariot arrived at the city, Zhao Kuo was already waiting at the door. Zhao Kuo was wearing a military uniform. If he had only the demeanor of an elegant gentleman before, then he is now
, but became more and more like his father, an iron-blooded general, especially those resolute eyes, which made Xu Li almost admit his mistake, as if the person standing in front of him was not Zhao Kuo, but Zhao She.
Xu Li jumped down from the chariot in a hurry, ignoring Lou Chang beside him, walked up to Zhao Kuo, looked at him, stretched out his hand to feel his hands and arms, and asked nervously: "You are not injured.
So?" Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "I'm fine, I've made you worry..." At this time, Lou Chang just walked up to him and said with a smile: "I'll just say, Ma Fuzi
This expedition will definitely kill all the Yan people, leaving no trace behind, it is indeed what I said!"
Zhao Kuo led the two of them into the city, and the knights from Handan were also led by Ge Suo to settle down.
After entering the room, Xu Li hurriedly asked: "How is the war going? I'm late?"
"I have defeated the Yan people."
Lou Chang asked again: "What about the defeated army? But they are still in Haocheng? Please let me lead the knights to attack Haocheng and wipe out the Yan people in one fell swoop!" Hearing his words, Xu Li frowned.
, but Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "The defeated army was not in Haocheng." Lou Chang was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Did they escape? If they were running around, then the people of Zhongshan and Taiyuan would be affected.
, are all going to suffer a big disaster, what should we do?!"
Zhao Kuo shook his head and said: "They have returned to Yan State. At this time, they are probably about to arrive at Wusui City."
"They have..."
“Yan Kingdom??”
Lou Chang was stunned. He paused for a moment and then asked: "You have... driven them out of Zhongshan? But... you... this..."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said: "They were unwilling to continue fighting, so they asked me to surrender. I forgave their crimes and allowed them to return to their hometown."
"What about the people along the road? What should they do if they harm the people along the road?" Lou Chang asked hurriedly.
"With the escort of knights in the clouds, they don't dare to do this."
Lou Chang slumped down on the seat with a dull expression. Xu Li laughed loudly, looked at Lou Chang and said, "What you said is indeed true. Ma Fuzi is a fierce general of Zhao State. Even if we people don't come, he will
They can defeat the Yan people... I shouldn't question you, I want to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness!" Lou Chang looked at him, smiled awkwardly, and then said: "You don't have to be like this..."
He looked at Zhao Kuo and murmured: "Ma Fuzi is invincible..."
"The people of Qin said they were only afraid of Zhao's horses and could not let you serve as Zhao's general. It turns out they were not lying..."
