Chapter Thirty

"Now, it is said that the Zhao State is everywhere. You have revealed General Bai Qi's story to Zhao Kuo. Most people in Zhao regard you as kind-hearted and kind, and praise you..." The retainer said with a strange expression. Fan Ju sat in front of the wooden case and was dealing with government affairs. After hearing the retainer's report, he suddenly raised his head, squinted his eyes and asked, "I am such a person. Zhao loves me, what's wrong with this?"

When the retainer heard this, his face changed drastically and hurriedly said, "The head of the family is naturally such a person." However, another old disciple sitting next to him said unhappily: "You are the prime minister of Qin and have never really passed on military information to Zhao Kuo. The Zhao people definitely have no reason to love you."

When Fan Ju heard this, he was furious and frowned and asked, "You mean, I, Fan Ju, is not a kind person, and only has a bad reputation in the world. Is that true?" In front of him, the two guests were sitting there, the younger one, the one who came to convey information. At this moment, he was so scared that his face was pale. Looking at the old guest over there, he kept blinking. The old guest ignored him and said, "This is the dew, the arsenic of the others."

Fan Ju snorted coldly, squinted her eyes, and said, "I am making a name for Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo is repaying my kindness." After that, he looked at the guest in front of him and asked, "Has Bai Qi heard about this news?"

The young man nodded, "General Bai Qi learned about this and thought it must be Zhao Kuo's counter-espionage plan and did not pay attention to it."

"Does Ersanzi think he really doesn't care about this?"

The young man thought for a moment and hurriedly said, "Bai Qi doesn't respect you on weekdays. He seems humble, but he is actually arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, and hates you being favored by the king. I think he will definitely use this matter to attack you." Fan Ju nodded, looked at the old guest again, and asked, "What do you think?"

The old disciple said solemnly: "Yinghou is the arm of Qin, and Wu'an Jun is the long sword of Qin. How can there be a reason why a naked or broken arm can stab the enemy?"

"Do you think I can't get anything without Bai Qi?" Fan Ju asked angrily.

The young man hurriedly said, "He is old and unconscious. Please don't blame him. Bai Qi is not worthy of comparing you with your talent." However, the old guest said unhappily: "Even Lin Xiangru of Zhao knows the principle of harmony between generals and ministers. How can you not know? I came to serve because of your talent and name. I didn't expect you to be such a mediocre villain with no knowledge. Please kill me, and I will not follow you again."

Fan Ju was silent for a moment and suddenly shouted, "Come here!" Suddenly, a soldier rushed in. Fan Ju pointed at the young man and said, "Take him down and kill him." The young man was shocked. When he saw the soldier pounced over, he shouted loudly, "What are my sins?" Fan Ju then said coldly: "As a minister, you can't point out my shortcomings and just flatter me. What's the use of being an unrighteous person like you?"

The young man could no longer speak and was dragged down while crying. At this time, Fan Ju stood up and bowed to the old guest, saying, "Please forgive me for my behavior just now. You are a loyal and righteous person, a person worthy of my trust." The old guest also stood up and bowed to him, saying that he didn't dare. Then he said a little unbearable: "Although he is not upright, after all, he is young. Can he forgive his life?"

Fan Ju said seriously: "I am not a person who kills indiscriminately. But I heard that once a down-and-out person has wealth and honor, he will easily believe those flattering words and gradually forget his ambitions. The reason why I wanted to kill him was to wake myself up and not lose his past ambitions because of his current wealth and honor."

It’s hard for old customers to persuade them any more.

Fan Ju smiled and said, "I have always pursued the greatest results in my work. If I kill him just because of this matter, it is still not worth it. Please tell others that this person is my trusted retainer. He slandered Wu'an Jun in front of me and wanted me to suppress Wu'an Jun, so I killed him."

.........

When the cavalry... no, when Li Mu passed Danshui, he was indeed shocked by the scene in front of him. He had fought a war, but the scale was not large, and he had only seen a military formation of thousands of people. He had never seen a military camp like this today. Such a scene was very shocking, and he kept chattering along the way, making Li Mu doubt Di in his life, and had no culture. He could only look at several military formations in the distance in a daze and murmured: "It's so big."

Li Mu was different. After reading some military tactics, he could probably see the arrangement of General Lian Po. Under the continuous attacks of the Qin people, the Zhao people still lost Shangdang County and retreated to the Changping area. Lian Po stationed his troops in Changping. As soon as he passed Danshui, he could see four camps of Zhao people. These camps were all on high slopes, facing Danshui with their backs facing Changping.

When Li Mu and Di passed by, the Zhao soldiers seemed very alert and kept checking their identities. It turned out that the four camps were all storing grain. Lian Po specially set up four camps at this location to store grain. These camps were all on the high slopes, and the surrounding trees were cut down to maximize their vision. This place was called Zhiziling.

Li Mu was looking at the situation here all the way. After learning about their identities, a lieutenant sent two soldiers to take them to General Lian Po. Along the way, Li Mu didn't say anything. Instead, Di chatted with the accompanying soldier. After only a moment, he became familiar with them, just like an old friend. Di talked about Zhao Kuo's affairs. The two soldiers were full of passion and wanted to immediately join Zhao Kuo's command and follow him through life and death.

"I will tell Er Sanzi one thing, you must not tell others." Di lowered his voice.

"Please tell me, we will never tell others!"

Li Mu did not expect that Di was still very dedicated and began to implement what Zhao Kuo ordered so quickly. Li Mu ignored him and just observed the Zhao army's camps attentively. The Zhao army was not only guarding Changping, nor did it have only one camp. Along the way, Li Mu had already seen eight camps at Zhao State, located in different places. The big one was as big as a township, which accommodated thousands of soldiers, and the small one was just a post with seven or eight soldiers standing as a hub for delivering messages.

Cavalry kept whistling by their side. Seeing that they were two people who were not dressed in soldiers, the cavalry would always stop and interrogate. In the distance, they could hear the sound of soldiers' training, roaring like thunder, drums, flags and flags. There were soldiers everywhere, and they could hardly see empty places or civilians. King Zhao followed Yu Qing's advice and transferred many Korean people from Shangdang County and brought them back to Zhao State.

Compared with Qin, these Korean people are more inclined to Zhao.

Finally, Li Mu and Di came to Changping City, which was the center of the entire Zhao State's overall defense line. General Lian Po was also stationed here, facing the main force of the Qin people. The two soldiers took them to the East City Gate and told the generals guarding the city gate that their identities and the intentions of Li Mu and others. The general opened the door and let Li Mu and others enter. The two soldiers could no longer continue to accompany him. They reluctantly said goodbye to Di and then left.

When he entered the city, he could see the demolished houses and soldiers who kept coming and going, a young lieutenant walked down the city wall. This lieutenant was probably a little older than Li Mu, and he did not have a beard. He looked at Li Mu in front of him proudly and asked, "You are you going to pay homage to General Lian Po?" Li Mu was displeased, but he did not make any attacks. He nodded and said, "I came to pay homage to General Lian Po as Ma Fuzi ordered."

"Ma Fuzi?", the young captain was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Is he coming to Changping?"

"No, I just want me to bring a few words to General Lian Po."

"Oh...", the young man looked a little disappointed. He nodded and signaled them to follow him. Then he walked towards Lian Po's main camp. Di smiled and walked to his side, wanting to say a few words to him, but the young man ignored him. The young man took them to the front of the city guard mansion in Changpingyuan, and said lazily: "General Lian Po is here. If there is anything else, you can come to Dongcheng Gate to find me, and I call him Sima Shang."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Li Mu stared at him and snorted coldly.
