Zhao State, Lucheng.

Lucheng is a very important gateway to Zhao State and has a very high strategic position, so it is also called Lucheng. Before the war broke out, it was a very wealthy area, an important transportation location between the Central Plains and the North, and most of the merchants in Zhao State gathered here and Handan. However, since the outbreak of the war, its status has plummeted and there is no longer the prosperity of the past.

King Zhao asked the young people here to send them to Changping, as if they had taken away the last trace of life here. Now, Lucheng is even defending on the city walls, most of them are old soldiers. The city is empty, and even the laughter of children cannot be heard. Many old people sit at the gate with concern. On weekdays, they hate the noise brought by young people, and at this moment, they miss the noisy sounds.

They looked at each other, shook their heads, without words, without communication, and were dead.

After the war with the Qin people broke out, many Koreans fled from Shangdang. Most Koreans wanted to return to their own country, but what disappointed them was that they could not pass the Han people's pass. Perhaps the Koreans were scared by Qin. The generals stationed in the garrison said: In order to prevent the Qin people from hiding among you, take the opportunity to trick the pass, please go back.

At that moment, the Koreans who fled from Shangdang to their own land died.

They cried miserably and were attending their own funerals.

Therefore, the Zhao State was close to Shangdang's cities, crowded with dead Koreans. These Koreans lived like walking corpses, and were stronger. They were also sent to Changping, women and children, and some were bought and became retainers, and some became dead bones on the road. As for the useless old people, they were arranged in a town outside the city.

Zhao State gave them the gift of hired farmers, farming for others, and dragging their dull and elderly bodies, they waved the farm tools in their hands.

The people of Zhao said that those Koreans who refused to escape were all cut off their heads by the tyrannical Qin people. As military merits, they were so scared that they dared not speak. After a busy day, the Koreans returned to their homes, no, they returned to the house. Sitting in the house, an old man wiped the sweat from his forehead. In these houses, four or five people had to be squeezed. The old man looked at the rest and said fluently in Korean: "Zhao Kuo did not set out from Wu'an."

"What?!", the other few old men suddenly seemed a little impatient. One of them even spoke Qin language. The leader glared at him coldly, and then said: "Don't be anxious. Those food and grass do not pass by Wu'an. I heard that they were going to pass by Taihang. I have notified the villagers that the villagers will do it themselves. The two and the three sons don't have to pay attention to it, just pretend that they don't know these things."

"Then will our arrangement here be wasted?" one of them asked unwillingly.

"It's not in vain." The man shook his head and sighed. This man was an important spy placed in Zhao State by the Qin people, responsible for all matters in the Lucheng area. He never thought that as a doctor in Qin State, one day he would fall to the point of farming for the fools of Zhao State. This is also impossible. Now that young people are too conspicuous in Zhao State, they may be sent directly to Changping.

The Qin people could only send some old men to find out the news in Zhao. Most of the people present were old spies and old soldiers. They had experience in this area and were more likely to confuse the enemy and reduce the enemy's vigilance. With these advantages, these people really collected a lot of information.

Chatting with these people, soon, the night gradually darkened. The old men hurriedly left the house, stood in the courtyard, chatted loudly, and turned a few people off the wall. They were wearing black clothes and covering their faces with black cloth. The old men ignored them and continued to chat. The people entered the house. The leaders had long been sitting in the house waiting for them. These people were different from these old men. They were spies responsible for the specific implementation, and they were all young people.

"How is it?"

"We are too conspicuous. The villagers who came from the eldest son had no way to get here. As you told me, the villagers had already started gathering. However, Dongwu City is too far away, or you might as well call people from the nearby area... Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop it..." The man was talking, and the old man's face darkened and asked, "Are you going to disobey Wu'anjun's order?"

The man was shocked and hurriedly leaned over and bowed, saying, "I dare not."

"Based on the people from Dongwucheng, a group of people gathered to rob and kill food and grass. This is Wu'anjun's order and is not allowed to violate it."

"I understand, but our people don't know the terrain of Taihang."

"Didn't you ask you to gather a group of bandits from Zhao State?" the old man asked disdainfully.

"This matter is very unsuccessful. They learned that the person to be robbed and killed was Zhao Kuo... so they refused our request and killed the lobbyist we sent." As soon as he finished speaking, the old man was furious, "Bold Zhao Quan, sooner or later..." He swallowed his anger and said coldly: "They will not die in vain. The Zhao people will be buried with them. Please endure the two and three sons for the time being."

"The second and third sons need to find a guide who is familiar with the terrain and send someone to explore the terrain in Yangchang. If you can't find a suitable person, then you will mainly use these villagers to ambush them. In addition, if you really can't gather people, it doesn't matter. I will get some more powerful crossbows for the second and third sons, which are enough to defeat Zhao Sheng's disciples."

"I understand, I don't know what else do you have?"

"From now on, Ersanzi is no longer a Korean, Ersanzi is a disciple of Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng."

...........

Following the Zhao Fu, Zhao Kuo did learn a lot. After the convoy entered Taihang, Zhao Kuo had the opportunity to appreciate the rough nature two thousand years ago, which had not been conquered. It had a different kind of unyielding nature, the jungle was messy, and there seemed to be no way forward. Fortunately, he personally led the way forward. He looked a little unnatural, but surprisingly, he could always find those covered roads.

Even sometimes he ordered his disciples to cut down a few trees. After the cut down, he could see a winding mountain road hidden behind him. His familiarity with Taihang shocked everyone who was walking with him. Fortunately, he had a stern face and could not see any joy or satisfaction. He looked like he was in a hurry to open the way in the front, and everyone was not in danger, even though the roar of beasts often woke them up in the middle of the night.

I was lucky to lead the way, but the speed did not decrease but increased, and the road was closer than before. However, the Zhao Fu occasionally looked at Xun and his face became heavier. He also came to Zhao Kuo to ask about Xun's situation, probably because he had some doubts about him, but Zhao Kuo made him feel at ease. Xun followed him for several years. Although he was not a good person, he was definitely not the one who was betrayed the master.

After nightfall, Xun lay on the mat and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Until everyone was asleep, Xun stood up carefully and walked towards the jungle beside him. There, a guest was observing the situation. When he saw him coming out, he was shocked. He saw clearly the person coming through the bonfire and said unhappily: "It's you? What do you want to do?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Xing said coldly, and Xie Shang walked towards the distance. The guest snorted coldly, turned his head, and ignored it. Fortunately, he did not put down his clothes, but instead rushed into the woods. He ran quickly in the forest for a long time. Even in the middle of the night, he did not limit his speed. He quickly arrived at a relatively flat open space, and stood here.

Above the open space, there are several cemeteries piled up by stones.

"Brother! He has set up an ambush!!"

"Run away!!"

Fortunately, there was a faint scream in his ears. At some point, his face was covered with tears. He slowly knelt here, covered his head and sobbed.

Suddenly, Zhao Fu walked out from the side, held the long sword at his waist, stood beside him, silently looked at the cemetery in the distance, and suddenly asked: "Four years ago, I occupied the Taihang Mountains, robbed the business trips, and repeatedly defeated the county soldiers, doing all kinds of evil. The notorious thief leader is surely you?"
