Chapter 87 Qin Rencheng does not deceive me

In the battle of Bai Ren, the Yan people suffered heavy casualties. In fact, there were 80,000 troops. After this hard battle, there were only more than 50,000 people, nearly 30,000 people left. They died directly or indirectly on the battlefield. Zhao Fu walked with these mortal enemies, and the atmosphere was indescribable. Along the way, the Zhao people who led the way never spoke to them. Both sides had blood feuds. They were not like Zhao Kuo, who could easily forgive these people.

They didn't agree with Zhao Kuo's orders very much. Seeing the defeated soldiers who lighted the bonfire, gnawing fish, dancing the strange Yan dance, and singing Yan Ge who made their headaches, Zhao Fu even thought in his heart that he shouldn't let them go so easily. When reinforcements arrive, they arrest them all and kill them, so that they can be worthy of those comrades who died in battle. In this way, Yan State would not dare to have the idea of ​​attacking Zhao State within ten years!

Zhao Fu was looking at them coldly. A soldier with a thick beard walked up to him with a piece of barbecue and handed the fish with a smile. Zhao Fu said, "The reason I sent you back to China is because I obeyed the orders of Ma Fuzi, not that I am willing to forgive your crimes. You killed my best friend." The soldier was stunned, smiled bitterly, squatted beside him, and gnawed the fish.

"I am alone in Yan State. My father died in Qi State. 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 deputy general. I have been fighting with the Hu people in Liaodong. At that time, I enjoyed war very much, led my soldiers to conquer everywhere, kill one enemy after another, and won countless 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 there was a royal family member staying overnight. He took the opportunity to insult my wife. After being stabbed by her dagger, he killed my wife and son... I killed him, and the officials arrested me and wanted to punish me... General Lejian saved me because of my past military merits, and I became an ordinary soldier."

"After becoming a soldier, I realized what a real war is. Generals enjoy war and conquer everywhere. When we charge at the forefront, we will die when we retreat, and we will die when we advance. We will win, we will not receive any rewards. If we lose, we will be beheaded. I have no grudges with the people of Zhao, but if I don't kill your friends, they will kill me, and the generals will not let me go... You said, is it my crime to live?"

"It is not a sin to live...but to kill others to live, this is a sin."

"What would you do if you were me? Will you let the enemy kill you or be a deserter and be executed by the generals?"

"I..." Zhao Fu shook his head and said, "Ma Fuzi is a kind and righteous gentleman. He will not lead his soldiers to invade other countries innocently. I will kill the enemy because I want to guard my hometown. This is right, and there is no crime."

The soldier laughed and looked at Zhao Fu straight.

"So...I envy you very much."

The soldiers of Yan State wanted to go home so strongly that they were not willing to rest and rushed to the road with all their might. On the road, Zhao Fu met the knights from Yunzhong County. These knights were originally responsible for protecting Yunzhong County and blocking the robbery of the Hu people. Due to Yu Qing's military order, they cut off the Yan people's connection with Yan State. At this moment, they seemed very excited to see the defeated soldiers of these Yan people. They were about to rush to kill, but they were stopped by Zhao Fu.

Zhao Fu told them about Zhao Kuo's military orders. Although these knights were very confused, they did not have the courage to not implement Zhao Kuo's orders. They surrounded the Yan people and rushed back and forth, which scared the Yan people. If they brought the flag of the horse to the emperor, they would be afraid that the Yan people would escape... The Yan people accelerated their speed again, and the knights even sent some food. They did not suffer casualties in the war and did not have much malice towards the Yan people.

The closer they got to Yan State, the more silent the Yan soldiers became, and their speed became a little slower, and they were all worried.

On this day, the soldier with thick beard summoned all the officers of Bo Chang and others who survived the Yan people. He had a high prestige in the army. He sat by the river and roasted a bonfire. He said seriously: "If they knew that we had killed the generals, they would 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 that I took the opportunity to assassinate the generals, motivate the soldiers, and want to surrender."

The officers lowered their heads and said nothing.

"It seems that it is not enough for me to bear it alone. I still need a few heads of my uncle..." He said, looking at an old master of Yan State 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 man was trembling all over, exhaling, and saying, "Okay."

"I'll go with you too."

"No, you still have a few children, and they will punish you for your family affairs."

"Tell all the soldiers about this, and if you want to survive, you must say that."

Since the last conversation, Zhao Fu has never seen the Yan man who was demoted from a general to a soldier again. Zhao Fu even searched carefully but could not find him. He thought that this guy ran away because of his identity and had been exposed, so he did not continue to search. Yan man lowered his head and walked towards Yan State step by step. Several Yan State's uncles held the head in his arms and looked blankly in the direction of Yan State.

Xu Li stood on the chariot and finally saw the outline of Bai Rencheng.

The soldiers in Bai Ren's army also found traces of reinforcements. When the chariots arrived at the city, Zhao Kuo was already standing at the door waiting. Zhao Kuo was wearing military uniforms. If he had only had the style of a gentleman before, then now he was more and more like his father, an iron-blooded general, especially his resolute eyes, which made Xu Li almost admit his mistake, as if it was not Zhao Kuo, but Zhao She who stood in front of him.

Xu Li hurriedly jumped out of the chariot, ignored Lou Chang beside him, walked to Zhao Kuo, looked at him, stretched out his hand to grop his hand and arm, and asked nervously: "Are you not injured?" Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "I am not bad, I worry you..." At this time, Lou Chang just walked to him and said with a smile: "I just said that Ma Fuzi's attack must have left the armor of the Yan people. It's true as I said!"

Zhao Kuo led the two of them into the city, and the knights from Handan were also brought down by Ge.

After walking into the room, Xu Li hurriedly asked, "What's the war? Am I late?"

"I have defeated the Yan people."

Lou Chang asked again, "Where are the defeated soldiers? But they are still in the city? Please let me lead the knights to attack the city and destroy the Yan people in one fell swoop!" After hearing his words, Xu Li frowned, but Zhao Kuo said with a smile, "The defeated soldiers are not in the city." Lou Chang was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Did they escape? If they were wandering around, the entire Zhongshan and Taiyuan people would suffer a great disaster. What should I do?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "They have returned to Yan State. At this time, they are probably about to arrive in Wusui City."

"They have already..."

"Yan Country?"

Lou Chang was stunned and slowed down for a moment before asking: "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 forgive their crimes and allow 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 again.

"There are escorts from the clouds, and they dare not do so."

Lou Chang collapsed on the seat with a dull expression. Xu Li laughed loudly, looked at Lou Chang and said, "What you said is indeed good. Ma Fuzi is a powerful general of Zhao State. Even if we don't come, he can defeat the Yan people... I shouldn't question you. I want to apologize to you. Please forgive me!" Lou Chang looked at him, smiled awkwardly, and said, "You don't have to do this..."

He looked at Zhao Kuo and murmured: "Ma Fuzi is invincible in the world..."

"The Qin people said that they were only afraid of the horse cousin of Zhao and could not let you serve as the general of Zhao. It turned out that they did not lie..."
