Nowadays, Zhao Kuo’s troubles come not from Changping, but from Zhao’s mother.

For some reason, Zhao's mother was determined to arrange a marriage for Zhao Kuo, so naturally she was still the rumored virtuous daughter of Xu Li. Zhao Kuo could only find various reasons to escape, and even said the words of why the tyrannical Qin had not yet been destroyed. But Zhao's mother didn't believe it. Your father dared not say that you would destroy Qin. You would defeat a Yan man and dare to clamor like this?

On this day, it was late at night, and someone suddenly knocked on the gate of the courtyard.

The voice was very rapid, panicked, and seemed a little rude. Go, who was resting in the side room, jumped up. When he rushed to the courtyard with a short sword, he happened to meet Zhao Kuo, who was also walking out with a weapon. The two looked at each other and walked to the door. Ge asked angrily: "Who is outside the door? How dare he be so rude?!"

"Old thief! Open the door! I am Di!"

Ge was stunned and turned around and went back angrily. Zhao Kuo had to go forward and open the door. Outside the door, there were dozens of people standing. They were holding bonfires and trembling in the cold wind. Among these people, there were Di, Youyou, Li Yu, Ming, and they were all Zhao Kuo's disciples. Di was already swearing: "You old thief's bones are rotten... Why do you still open the door..." Before he finished speaking, Xun, who was standing beside him, hurriedly covered his mouth.

Di widened his eyes and saw that the person who came to open the door was Zhao Kuo.

Everyone hurriedly leaned over to salute Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo was a little excited. He missed his guests very much. He stepped forward and helped them up one by one. This time he took them into the courtyard and took them to the side room. Ge was lying on the bed. When he saw them in, he turned around and ignored them. Fortunately, he closed the door. Everyone squeezed into the room and greeted Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo suddenly realized that they should be in Changping, so why did they come back suddenly?

Di sighed, looked at Zhao Kuo, and said, "Shaojun...General Lian Po is defeated."

"What?? How could this happen..." Zhao Kuo widened his eyes and looked at these people incredibly. They lowered their heads completely and looked particularly depressed. Di continued: "It's Bai Qi, Bai Qi is here."

Zhao Kuo frowned and asked, "General Lian Po is good at using troops, Changping has sufficient food and supplies. Even if Bai Qi is the general, how could he be defeated so quickly?? General Lian Po? Where is he? What is the casualties of Zhao soldiers? Where are the Qin people?" Zhao Kuo asked anxiously, everyone just looked at Di, but did not answer. Di said seriously: "Shaojun, don't worry, General Lian Po is now in the Baili Stone Great Wall."

"In Shangdang, the Qin people broke through the Danshui defense line, and nearly 40,000 soldiers in Zhao State were injured and killed. The current trend is still unclear."

"General Lian Po said that if he suffered such a great defeat, Shangjun would not forgive him. He sent us away, saying that we were to come to the horse service and let you prepare to replace General Lian Po... Of course, I also want me to tell you about the situation of Shangdang." Di was the only person in the crowd who was very excited. There was no frustration in his face. When talking about the defeat of Zhao State, he had no feelings.

Of course, this may also be because he is not a Zhao person, he just followed Zhao Kuo, not the King of Zhao. Therefore, he would not feel sad when facing these things. Zhao Kuo sat down in a daze. He heard such bad news and even wanted to prepare for the news to go to Changping. For some reason, Zhao Kuo no longer had the previous fear and panic in his heart. He was just thinking about how he should defeat Bai Qi.

Perhaps it was because of the experience of life and death that Bai Qi could no longer make Zhao Kuo so afraid. Of course, if he was not afraid at all, it would be unlikely. Facing this cold-blooded war machine, who could defeat and behead the Killing God who had been beheading more than one million in his life? Zhao Kuo was naturally also afraid, but he used to be afraid that he would die at Bai Qi's hands, but now, he is just afraid that he cannot defeat Bai Qi, that's all.

"The second and third sons came from afar, go and rest first. Let's talk about these things tomorrow." Zhao Kuo quickly recovered, which surprised the guests who were about to comfort him. Zhao Kuo looked at them calmly, smiled, and said, "Let's rest, it's just Bai Qi, it's not to be afraid!" After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the people who were still a little anxious suddenly calmed down.

The smile on Zhao Kuo's face seemed to have a different kind of convincing power.

The guests actually had a lot to say, Zhao Kuo's record in Bai Ren and the tasks Zhao Kuo ordered to give them, especially Di. He was full of words and didn't want to rest at all. He just wanted to tell Zhao Kuo everything he knew. Fortunately, Li Yu, Ming and others said goodbye to Zhao Kuo. They had their own courtyards nearby, and only Di refused to leave, staring at Zhao Kuo with a grieving look.

Looking at Di's resentful woman's eyes, Zhao Kuo sighed helplessly and waved his hand. Di then grinned, walked to Zhao Kuo, lit the candle, and the two of them sat facing each other. Zhao Kuo looked at him and asked, "Please say it." Di cleared his throat and said excitedly: "Shaojun, the war is like this. I heard that the road from Deyi to Danzhuling was cut off... General Lian Po was worried that the enemy would detour through Danzhuling to attack the granary..."

"I ordered the eldest son, Zhizi, and Changping to send soldiers to support Danzhuling from three directions, but the order was less than half an hour after I heard the Qin army attacking Daliang Mountain. General Lian Po personally took people to rescue Daliang Mountain, and ordered Tang Wang Mountain to send additional reinforcements in the two places besieged the city..." Di was particularly excited when he talked about these, and he looked like a storyteller in later generations.

"I didn't expect that General Lian Po's reinforcements were attacked by enemy chariots in the south of Changping. There was a plain. General Lian Po led infantrymen and fought very fiercely... When General Lian Po was in a stalemate with the opponent's chariots, Bai Qi led the main force of Qin to attack Changping. Changping supported everywhere. There was a vacant defense and was breached by Bai Qi. Bai Qi abandoned Changping and attacked directly to the large granary in the rear."

"Bai Qi destroyed the food and grass?" Zhao Kuo jumped up suddenly. Di hurriedly grabbed him and asked him to sit down again, then said, "Shaojun, don't be anxious, it's not that simple."

"After learning about it, General Lian Po was also very uneasy and hurriedly ordered that the road behind Bai Qi was cut off from Deyi and wanted to siege Bai Qi, but he led his elite troops to the Zhizi to reinforce the granary. However, who could have thought that Bai Qi's purpose was not the granary at all. He set up an ambush halfway and attacked General Lian Po's reinforcements. General Lian Po came quickly. Where was the opponent of the Qin army who was raising their energy and setting up an ambush on the road?"

"Fortunately, General Lian Po led the way and rushed out of Bai Qi's encirclement and killed, and took Changping back."

"Where is Bai Qi, he directly joined forces with the chariots and attacked Han Wangshan with the Qin army that had originally attacked Daliang Mountain. The two mountains were lost... They could no longer defend the enemy... News came from Qinyang that he saw the Qin people's partial army, which was obviously to surround Danshui. General Lian Po understood the enemy's thoughts, so he took the people to cross Danshui to retreat. Bai Qi took the opportunity to attack, and suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, the main force was still there, the food and grass were not lost, and the generals were not captured."

After talking about the battle situation, Di just let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he was much more energetic, looking at Zhao Kuo in full spirit, and then asked, "I heard that you defeated the 100,000 troops in Yan State..." Zhao Kuo hurriedly interrupted him and said, "You go and rest first, let's talk about the rest tomorrow... I'm a little tired." Hearing Zhao Kuo say this, Di had to leave the inner room reluctantly.

Zhao Kuo sat in the inner room. First of all, he was not sure whether the situation of the war was really as Di said. After all, Di was inquiring out the news from his people, and there was inevitably deviation. However, Lian Po was defeated and retreated to Zhao's territory, which was obviously true. King Zhao had long intended to let him replace Lian Po. After the news of Lian Po's defeat came, he was afraid that King Zhao would summon him.

Zhao Kuo stood at the window, frowned, and looked at the bright moon in the air, falling into deep thought.
