Chapter 106: The Destined Battlefield

After a few months, Zhao Kuo once again put on military uniform.

Du helped repair the chariot, saying it was repaired, but in fact he made a new chariot. According to Ge's requirements, a sharp blade was installed on the outside of the wheel. Ge liked this chariot very much. After Du repaired the chariot, he stayed by the chariot all day long. Except for driving for Zhao Kuo, he could hardly see anyone else.

On the second expedition, Zhao Kuo finally discovered some changes in himself.

He was not as panic and fear as before. He was very calm and calm. He couldn't recognize himself. He stroked the cold armor. Zhao Kuo stopped in the courtyard for a long time and looked at everything around him. This time the enemy was far stronger and terrifying than the Li Fu of Yan State. Zhao Kuo couldn't even think of any way to defeat the enemy. Before leaving, he just wanted to remember all the surroundings in his mind. Perhaps this was his last time standing here.

Zhao's mother had already learned that Zhao Kuo was leaving, but she was not worried. She seemed to have begun to trust her son, her beloved, and her son, were all famous warriors in Zhao State, and no one could defeat them. When Zhao Kuo was wearing military uniform and looking at her, she prepared the words she used to educate her son all night, but she couldn't say anything. She just grabbed Zhao Kuo's hand and said, "Take good care of yourself."

Zhao Kuo hugged his mother, and Zhao's mother said again: "When you pass by triumph, you will get married."

Zhao Kuo suddenly laughed. In later generations, people who thought that they would get married after the war had no good ending. However, looking at his white-haired mother in front of him, he nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."

The guests were ready to go to the war, and Di was also saying goodbye to his lover. The maid was sobbing in a low voice. Di was waving his hand to brag about something to her, making the maid cry and laugh. Ge had already prepared a chariot at the door, and was still pulling various parts of the chariot to confirm safety. Li Yu was putting leather armor on his body, and Ming was helping him.

Zhao Kuo took a last look at his mother, then looked at the familiar courtyard, and then issued an order to set off!

Zhao Kuo stood skillfully on the left side of the car. Wang Fan originally wanted to stand on the right side of the car, but Di was pulled away. Di widened his eyes and stared at him fiercely. Wang Fan looked at him for a moment, and then he had no choice but to get out of the position. Di then jumped onto the chariot with a smile, stood on the right side of the chariot, and glanced at Wang Fan proudly. Wang Fan ignored him, picked up his spear, and stood beside the chariot.

Compared to the last expedition, this time it was obviously more solemn. Dozens of visitors surrounded the chariot and completely blocked the road. The people in horse suits came out to see Zhao Kuo once again. The neighbor Ping Gong was also among these people. He was holding his mulberry stick and slapped all the visitors one by one. It is said that he slapped Zhao Kuo's chariot all night yesterday, and was so angry that he almost fought with him.

Zhao Ji was not here, but a maid with the emperor of the ages in her arms, looking at Zhao Kuo on the chariot with fear. Zhao Kuo looked at these familiar people one by one, as if he wanted to remember them all. Finally, the flag suddenly opened, and the flag of Ma Fujun floated on the chariot again. Zhao Kuo raised his head, looked at the brand new flag, and ordered: "Go!!!"

The people in the horse costume sent nearly three miles to the end, Du, who could not see anything, was still waving goodbye in the direction where no one was.

Everything just now was more like a picture scroll, because Zhao Kuo didn't hear any sound. It was not until the chariot gradually disappeared in front of the crowd that Zhao Kuo heard the whizzing wind and sonata. The weather was particularly cold. Standing on the chariot, the strong wind blowing towards him was like a knife, making Zhao Kuo tremble all over. He wanted to hold on for a while and let the disciples imitate his tenacity, but this cold winter would not give him this opportunity.

It was the former schoolyard, and King Zhao specially transferred 3,000 people from his elite troops in the palace, as a way to escort Zhao Kuo and others to the Great Wall to replace Lian Po. King Zhao gave him a monarchy order, which was an order to ask Lian Po to hand over the tiger talisman to Zhao Kuo. In addition, he also prepared some wine and winter clothes. The sacrifice that originally needed to be held for a whole day was over in a short period of time, but because it was too cold outside, King Zhao couldn't stand it.

Zhao Kuo did not take time to visit Lin Xiangru, but simply said goodbye to Dong Chengzi, Yu Qing and others, and left Handan. Dong Chengzi told Zhao Kuo about his capture of Lou Sui, and said: Lou Chang disappeared, and he could not be found in the entire Handan City. He either committed suicide or went to Qin. Zhao Kuo did not care about Lou Chang's life and death. Lou Chang was not in the palace, but a good thing.

After repeatedly reminding Dong Chengzi, Zhao Kuo still led the army to leave Handan.

March towards the Great Wall.

In such weather, marching has become an extremely difficult thing.

Zhao Kuo only felt that his ears and hands had lost consciousness, and an inexplicable and scorching pain came from his face. Most of the guests were the same, especially Li Yu. As a Chu person, he rarely went out in the winter in Yanzhao. At this time, he always hid at home. Now that he followed Zhao Kuo out, Li Yu could no longer hide and could only bear the unbearable cold.

After nearly three days of travel, the soldiers had a very difficult journey. Fortunately, there were no casualties. Zhao Kuo had never experienced such coldness in his previous and current life. In the Warring States wilderness without heating, stove, or even cotton coats, winter was so difficult. Zhao Kuo is always thinking that when he defeated Bai Qi, he would not care about anything else, but he would have to find cotton or just make a fur coat?

The cold that penetrated the bone marrow could even interrupt Zhao Kuo's thoughts. Fortunately, the Great Wall is not far from Handan. According to Ge, you can reach it in another five days. It was another cold night. Everyone piled up stones, lit a bonfire, and surrounded him for warmth. Zhao Kuo asked for more bonfires. He did not want the soldiers to be frozen to death. Even if it was so cold, he would check all the bonfires one by one.

There is a bonfire in each house. This is Zhao Kuo's order. Standing from a distance, those who don't know about it thought that a 100,000 army of Zhao State gathered here!

After Zhao Kuo finished his work, he finally sat down, stretched out his hands, moved towards the bonfire, sat closer, looked at Di beside him, and said tremblingly: "Di, take four people with you, ride horses, and get ahead... to Zhang Great Wall and pass on the news... the news... the news... "Di was also trembling at this moment. When he heard Zhao Kuo's order, he said in fear: "Can I... be able to... go during the day?"

"Bad...nonsense... can you...live to the Great Wall alive?"

Di then breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Vei!"

Di left the next day with four knights and ran towards the direction of the Great Wall. Zhao Kuo led the other soldiers and marched for several days before he saw the outline of the Great Wall. At this time, the Great Wall was not the winding dragon that Zhao Kuo saw in his previous life. The Great Wall in later generations was the crystallization of dynasties. At this moment, the Great Wall was still very primitive, and was simply piled up with muds such as soil, stones, etc.

Zhao Great Wall is not tall either. It looks like the courtyard wall I saw in the countryside in my previous life, but not like a Great Wall.

The Great Wall is very long, so it is divided into sections. Each section has different names, and even the height and thickness of the city wall are different. When the Great Wall was built, construction started at the same time, so there is a different Great Wall like this now. After all, this is Zhao, not Qin. Zhao Kuo's destination is the Zhang Great Wall on the far right, which is also the garrison of General Lian Po.

Relying on the Great Wall, General Lian Po set up a camp here. There were rolling smoke from all over the Great Wall, indicating that there were not many troops here. However, when Zhao Kuo approached, he discovered that there were actually no camps in many places with smoke from the stove, and there was only one soldier, who was piled with bonfires everywhere. Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and hurriedly sent someone to call the soldier over.

The Zhao Shu looked a little nervous. He looked at the flag behind Zhao Kuo curiously, but could not recognize the word. Zhao Kuo smiled and asked, "Why are you making fires everywhere?"

The young Zhao Zu looked at him, hesitated for a long time before saying, "I can't say it."

Zhao Kuo smiled and said in praise: "Very good."

He looked away again. Wherever he could see, there were smoke rolling in the cooking fires. It seemed that these places were all like this, pretending to be for Bai Qi. General Lian Po wanted to mislead Bai Qi and let Bai Qi think that the Qin army was stationed on the side of Zhang Great Wall? Isn't that the case? What exactly did he want to do?
