Chapter 80: Saving the Country 2

"Do you, King Chu?" Zhao Liang, who received the report from Jieshi Port, went back and forth in the Mingtang uneasy.

"Reported to the king, it is indeed the King of Chu." Five days were not enough to send people from Handan to Jieshi Port. Ge De, who personally carried out the matter, could only let the local Zhao officials investigate on his behalf. "He wore black clothes, hung his hair, decorated with white jade, rode an eight-foot dragon horse, and there was a temple man beside him. The Chu generals followed him respectfully, called him, and called him... king."

"Be the king?" Zhao Liang was puzzled. He could only call the king, but there was no one who called the king.

"Your Majesty, the people of Chu have long stopped speaking elegantly, only spoke Chu language. The Southern Barbarians' tongue, and the king of Chu language, the officials of the pass are not very clear about it." Ge De explained. He did not talk about the passers-by in Jieshi Port, even he could not understand Chu language very well. "The people of Chu called him king. Judging from his age, behavior, and accessories, he must be the King of Chu. However, there were very few people accompanying him, only thirty or forty cavalry."

Zhao Liang looked at Ge De who was talking in detail for about half a quarter of an hour, and then he smiled strangely: "Haha! King Qin, King Chu, King Chu, King Qin. Hahahaha..."

"Tell Jieshi that the branch should not stop him from going out of the blockade, but should help him out of the blockade!" Zhao Liang's laughter suddenly came out, then suddenly calmed down, and then ordered it clearly. "Those who block his out of the blockade will be killed without mercy."

"Why..." Ge De was very confused about Zhao Liang's order. "Yingdu explicitly told me to stop them from going out of the border."

"Send the order!" Zhao Liang's lips were tense. He didn't want to make any explanation or make any suggestions.

"Your Majesty, all the existence of Zhao State is in Chu State..." Ge De was still advising, trying to persuade Zhao Liang to give up a certain idea.

"Send the order!!" Zhao Liangli interrupted him with a harsh face, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Jun..." Ge De wanted to persuade him, but Zhao Liang pointed his hand straight outside the hall and asked him to retreat quickly.

"Come." Before Ge De retreated, Zhao Liang was already summoning others. "Summon Jianxinjun."

Whether in Yingdu or in Yan land, autumn always looks somber. The sound of cicadas gradually becomes weak, and the leaves are golden. Only the locust flowers falling from the locust tree look like the light snow after spring. They are spread bit by bit on the official road, with people walking on horses and stamens pressing layer after layer. The whole road looks white from a distance.

When you walk out of the mountains and mountains outside the Lingzhi Pass, the autumn on the grassland is even more exciting. The bright sunshine of autumn spreads on the grassland. From a distance, it seems that the entire grassland is golden, just like the golden millet and rice in the fields in October. But unlike millet and rice, the grassland is boundless, and you cannot see the villages, the forests, and the city.

"Based on the itinerary, it is necessary to have a hundred miles a day," Gui Jing didn't want to appreciate the scenery on the grassland, he only cared about the itinerary.

"It takes twenty days for a hundred miles." The leader was a Hu man who knew Zhao's words, named Yueran, who had been to Qin before.

"Twenty days?" Xiang Chao looked at the Hu man and was surprised. "We have been going for six days. If we have to go to Xianyang for twenty days..."

When hiring a guide, everyone did not say they wanted to go to Xianyang, Qin State, but said they wanted to go to Quyan. Therefore, when Xiang Chao mentioned Xianyang, Gui Jing pulled him. However, Yueran had already heard the word Xianyang, and he asked with Zhao Yin in a different tone: "Are you going to Xianyang?"

"We're only here to Quyan." Gui Jing looked directly at Yue Ran and cleared his power to correct Xiang Chao's mistake.

"Okay. You are only here to Quyan." Yueran chuckled an imperceptible chuckling at the corner of her mouth. Even if the Zhao people did not give in, he knew that the destination of these Chu people was Xianyang of Qin, not Quyan to the north of Qin.

"How can I reach Quyan quickly? Twenty days are too long." It took six days to go north to Zhao State, landing from Jieshi Port and then going out of the frontier, and another six days. It took twenty days to get to Quyan, and then from Quyan to Fangqu - two roads to Qin, one is the Yanshi Pass, and the other is Fangqu. The time spent on Fangqu is shorter. When the time is urgent, Guijing can only choose Fangqu - it is estimated to take five days; after entering Qin, it will take five days. The entire itinerary will take at least forty-two days. If you consider some accidents, it is estimated to take forty-seven or even fifty days.

"If you want a short time, you can only enter the barrier." Yue Ran replied. "If you enter the barrier and walk on the official road of Zhao State, you can travel 500 miles less and consume less beans and wheat."

"Don't enter the barrier." Gui Jing opposed it. He always felt that he was moving fast enough that he was not intercepted by Zhao.

"It will take twenty days if you can't enter the block." Yue Ran looked back at the entire team. Most of them rode eight-foot-high thousand-mile horses, and each rode six short Di horses, five of which were carrying fried beans and wheat, and one left with armor.

"What's the matter?" Gui Jing noticed Yue Ran's turn around and remained vigilant. Because it was inconvenient to transport horses on the Three-legged Golden Crow, there were only more than 30 knights who boarded the boat that night. The dragon horses were highly watched everywhere, and a Hu people came up to ask if the horses were sold. Fortunately, all of these horses were castrated, otherwise Gui Jing believed that Donghu, Linhu, and Lou Fan would come to grab the horse breed at all costs.

"Horse." Yue Ran did not hide anything. "There is no such a magic horse in the grassland."

"If you want to seize the horse, please ask about this sword first." Xiang Chaoyue felt more and more uncomfortable when he heard it. He was unsheathed and then quickly inserted it into the sheath. His movements made Yue Ran shake his head repeatedly and muttered a word of humor.

"Have the King of Chu left the frontier?" Li Mu, who was guarding the Qin army out of Jingxing Pass day and night, suddenly received terrible news this day: not only the generals of the cavalry took the sea boat to the north, but the King of Chu also took the sea boat to the north.

"Whendan said this." A smile hung on the corner of the fox fairy's mouth. I don't know if it was mocking the King of Chu or Handan.

"Why did the King of Chu go out of the frontier?" Li Mu asked back, but he was not asking about the fox infancy.

"It is reported that Jianxin Jun has sent Qin." Hu Ying once again made a terrible news. "Xiangbang wants to..."

"He dares!" Li Mu's hand slammed on several cases. "This matter is leaked, and Zhao State will be destroyed!"

"If this matter is not revealed, the King of Chu will die again at the hands of the Qin people, and Zhao will survive." Hu Ying blinked and ignored the already angry Li Mu and said this. "It is rumored that the King of Chu loves the daughter of the Mi surname, but it turns out that way."

"How can we survive in this country? We have no faith and no righteousness, like a beast!" Li Mu glared at each other. "And the King of Chu is dedicated to helping Zhao,"

"The King of Chu assisted Zhao only for the State of Chu." Hu Ying understood Li Mu's temper. His deception was only used against the enemy. The people of Chu have always been friends.

"The State of Chu is my ally!" Li Mu almost roared. "The King of Chu went out of the frontier, and I sued the Qin people, causing the King of Chu to die at the hands of the Qin people. This, this, this..." Describing what was about to happen, Li Mu seemed to see the Chu cavalry led by the King of Chu fall into the ambush of the Qin people. Everyone finally died in a fight and could not speak for a moment.

"Qin and Chu are in evil, and Zhao is insured." Hu Ying also sighed, but no matter how much she sighs, it is not important to survive. The Warring States Period was not an era when who was stronger than who was better than who was, but an era when who was better at lobbying the princes and who was more intrigue than who was more.

"It is better to die heroically than to live in vain!" Li Mu tidied up his clothes and stood up and was about to leave the tent.

"Where will the general go?" Hu Ying hurriedly pulled him back. "If the general talks about this matter to the State of Chu, the people of Chu will not help me in the future; if the general wants to lead troops out of the frontier to rescue the King of Chu, what will happen to the Qin people in the frontier to attack me? Moreover, the news is very fast. Handan must have equipment for this plan."

"Equipment?" Li Mu turned to look at him after hearing this.

"From today, the news of the Fanwu Feixun can only be collected but not sent, and the message can only be sent to Handan." Hu Ying told him frankly. This was his original intention to tell Li Mu about the matter: even if he didn't say it, Li Mu would find out. At the same time, the order to allow Zhao army to enter Qin has been issued.

"The general should know that Chu State will become stronger and stronger. If Zhao State does not hope that Qin and Chu will fight each other, what if Qin State is destroyed? What's the difference between Qin State and Chu State and the whole world?" Hu Ying asked Li Mu Yayan. Today's friend, tomorrow's enemy, and the three Jin Dynasties are very, very common.

"But that's the State of Chu!" Li Mu shook his head suddenly. He remembered that Chu and Zhao had never had any evil, and Chu saved Zhao several times.

"So what about Chu?" Hu Ying asked back. "Today, the world must be one country. If it were not Qin, it would be Chu. The plan of the prime minister has no faith and no righteousness, but the plan of the prime minister can survive our Zhao State. If Qin and Chu are defeated, the Zhao State can be one."

"Zhao Guokeyi?" Li Mu suddenly wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh. He broke free from the fox baby's pull, and after leaving the tent, he rode on his horse and rushed to Handan. He had to see Zhao Liang immediately.

"Report to the Xiangbang, the general asks for..." Zhao Liang sat alone in the seat, still moving as a mountain.

"No." Zhao Liang was not surprised when he heard Li Mu's request to see him. He knew he would come.

"Yes." Zhao Liang did not meet, so the officials had to come out of the hall to tell him. But it was useless for him to tell him because Li Mu had already rushed up.

"Why is this? Why is this?" Li Mu shouted loudly before he entered the hall. When Zhao Liang saw Li Mu enter the hall, he not only waved his soldiers who wanted to go forward to stop him, but also asked everyone to withdraw from the hall.

"The magnificent Zhao Kingdom is a great minister, and he can only do such a miserable thing?" Li Mu rushed straight to Zhao Liang, staring at him from his eyes.

"Everything can only be successful and failure, and there is no distinction between being miserable and being noble." Zhao Liang looked at him without shrinking.

"That's true. Although people are despicable and noble, even though I, Zhao people, are not gentlemen, there are no such beasts." Li Mu said again. "Let's ask the prime minister, will this plan make our Zhao Kingdom survive? Will the King of Chu die in Qin? Otherwise..."

"The King of Chu will surely die when he enters Qin!" Zhao Liang finally avoided Li Mu's gaze and answered firmly. "If the King of Chu dies, the Chu army will inevitably attack Qin. If Qin and Chu fight again, our Zhao State will be able to rest. Ziyou is noble in his mind and can report this plan to Yingdu. He said that our Zhao State has no faith and no righteousness, and has reported the news that the King of Chu has gone out of the border to the Qin people. How about it?"

"Beast!" Li Mu cursed, but he didn't scold him loudly. He did not dare to do what Zhao Liang said, because once he did this, the Chu people would definitely wait for revenge with their revenge, and the Zhao State would undoubtedly persevere with the Qin State, and the Zhao State without assistance would undoubtedly perish.
