The news that Zhao Sheng had returned to Handan with 30,000 defeated soldiers spread like wildfire, and the whole country of Zhao was in turmoil. Hundreds of thousands of people knelt outside the city of Handan or at the palace of Handan, crying day and night, hoping that Zhao Zhang could bring them to justice.

The family redeemed them so that they would not suffer from bullying.

Lian Po! After Li Mu came back, he stayed behind closed doors all day. From time to time, people spat in their foyer. Some people made noise outside day and night. Some people threw stones and smashed the door! Some complained outside, which made Li Mu and Lian Po miserable.

The two of them were getting haggard day by day. Lian Dan and Li Zuoche once stepped forward to stop them, but what greeted them was a tsunami of insults and beatings.

Everyone in Handan was in danger, and the fighting outside Jinyang City was even more intense. Anlu Mountain had strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. Zhao Kuangyin relied on the defense of Jinyang City to withstand Anlu Mountain's attack.

Under Jinyang City

In the mansion, a tall, round-waisted man was sitting. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a face as red as maroon, and he looked eight feet long. He was none other than Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin was sitting on a chair, revealing his strong arms, with a cold arrow stuck in them. Blood was flowing along the wound. As long as he touched it even slightly, Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth in pain, frowned, and the cold sweat on his forehead was as big as a soybean.

It fell and wet the table.

The doctor on the side, holding a bright knife, bowed to Zhao Kuangyin and said: "General! It's time to get the arrows! Just be patient!"

Zhao Kuangyin turned over and picked up the rag on the table, bit it into his mouth, and nodded heavily.

The doctor looked at Zhao Kuangyin and then moved the knife. A few seconds later, a sound of flesh and blood was heard. The doctor threw the bloody arrow into the copper basin and quickly treated Zhao Kuangyin's wound. After instructing Zhao Kuangyin for the next few days,

Don't get wet, just retreat.

"Brother! The situation in Handan is in turmoil!" A young man trotted over. He was dressed in black armor, with a face as white as jade, a helmet, and a bamboo slip in his hand. He hurried to Zhao Kuangyin with a serious look on his face.

"How many times have I told you! There is no such title as eldest brother in the army! There is only general!" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi lovingly, but his mouth was full of blame.

However, Zhao Guangyi was nonchalant and placed the bamboo slip in front of Zhao Guangyi: "Brother, look! The news from Handan! Pingyang was defeated! An army of 120,000 was captured by Han Yi! More than 100,000 soldiers and horses were lost! Li Mu! Lian Po

Two old generals were dismissed, and the king fell ill! Zhao Sheng had been ill for half a month in order to seek peace, and the Yan State invaded! Xian Zhen led his troops to fight, and our country ceded thirty-six cities in this battle!"

When Zhao Kuangyin heard the news, he fell into deep thought. He looked at his younger brother. Zhao Kuangyin took the bamboo slip with one hand, walked to the bonfire and threw it inside. Zhao Guangyi looked at Zhao Kuangyin's movements without stopping him, and was worried.

looked at Zhao Kuangyin.

"Right now! Our army's general order is to defend Jinyang! Without the general order, we can't come out!" Zhao Kuangyin watched the bonfire getting more and more prosperous, sighed and said helplessly.

"The situation in Handan is unstable! Why don't you and my brother learn from An Lushan and his son and become kings?" Zhao Guangyi showed a wolfish gaze at this moment and subconsciously licked his lips.

Zhao Kuangyin looked back at Zhao Guangyi, looked at the guards guarding the door, and said immediately: "Everyone, get back! No one is allowed in!"

"promise!"

These guards were all Zhao Kuangyin's dead soldiers and loyal to him. Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi and said: "What qualifications do we have to rebel?"

"Do you have as many soldiers and horses as An Lushan? Do you have food and grass? Do you have territory?" Zhao Kuangyin approached Zhao Guangyi step by step. Zhao Guangyi was dizzy with practical problems one after another, and he could only shake his head.

Zhao Kuangyin pressed Zhao Guangyi's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't do things based on wishful thinking! You must also consider reality! Otherwise, it will only be counterproductive! This Zhao country belongs to our Zhao family! Instead of becoming king and taking endless risks! It is better to strengthen your own.

Strength! Only when strength is strong! Everything will fall into place!"

"Brother! I have a way! We can expand our military strength!" Zhao Guangyi said with a solemn expression.

"explain!"

"There are many young men in Jinyang City! Our army is small! But there is plenty of food and grass. If we recruit soldiers, we can get 10,000 soldiers. When the time comes, we will have the soldiers and horses! As long as we pretend to prepare for war! Jinyang will not be destroyed! Anlu Mountain will not be eliminated.

!Zhao Zhang still needs us! We don’t have to worry about being overcooked!" Zhao Guangyi said with an indifferent expression.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at his younger brother and said after a while: "You have indeed grown a lot! Do you want to leave this matter to you? Remember what I just said! Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Zhao Guangyi nodded heavily and then went out.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi's retreating back, shook his head slightly, glanced at the map casually, and said with an indifferent expression: "With Han Yi's ambition! Will he let this opportunity go so easily? I hope it won't fall to Han Yi.

Tell the truth! Otherwise, Zhao will not be able to escape the disaster of thunder!"

Envoy from Zhao State

Because of Zhao Sheng's illness, Gong Zhonglian was appointed as the leader of the mission. The purpose of this mission was to cede the number of cities, the division of regions, and compensation for defeat.

Of course, there is still part of the problem that Gong Zhonglian doesn't know. Because of this secret, Gong Zhonglian's head is in danger.

Now Han Yi is still in Pingyang and has not left. Han Yi is waiting for Zhao Guo's reply! Once Zhao Guo's city defense troops withdraw, Han Yi can take over the thirty-six cities. For this reason, Han Yi specially asked for

Baqiu, with this city, can strangle Zhao State by the throat, making it difficult for Zhao State to resist at all.

"Your Majesty! The envoy from the State of Zhao has arrived!" Pang Wanchun pressed the bronze sword in his arms and said with an indifferent expression.

"Oh! Are you here already?" Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "Since they are here! Let them come in!"

"promise!"

"Pass! The envoy from the State of Zhao is here to see you!"

"pass………!"

Then, three people walked outside the main gate. The leader was holding a letter of credence in his hand, with a sallow complexion, and was wearing the Zhao Dynasty court uniform! He came with a dignified and solemn look. The two people behind him were holding a map in their hands, and the other was holding a talisman.

Under the attention of both civil and military parties, he walked in.

"Gong Zhonglian, the envoy of the State of Zhao! Bring Gai Nie and Xun Xin! Come to pay homage to King Han!" Gong Zhonglian's head was covered with sweat. He didn't even look at Han Yi and bowed his head directly.
