"I want to go back."

Linwujun sat on the mat and said with a solemn expression. Xunzi lay on the couch in front of him, expressing his great disdain for this famous general of Chu. If it were in the past, Linwujun would have left angrily because of Xunzi's attitude. However, today he is surprisingly steady and no longer the boastful appearance he usually talks. Xunzi half-shook his eyes, glanced at him, and then asked: "Didn't you escape to Zhao because you were afraid of being executed by Chu?"

Lin Wujun nodded, "That's it."

"Do you think Zhao State is going to be destroyed, so you want to escape to other countries?"

"It's not like this." Lin Wujun shook his head. In the Central Plains, there is a saying that the punishment cannot be punished. Civilized countries believe that scholars cannot be humiliated, so they cannot insult him with severe criminal laws. Of course, there are two barbarian countries, but they ignore this convention. The differences between Qin and Chu are very big in all aspects, but they have common ground in only two aspects.

First, they will punish those who violate the law, regardless of whether the person who violates the law is a doctor or not. Second, they are all barbarians.

The State of Chu has a very bad tradition. In the State of Chu, generals have no room for growth, because the State of Chu has the tradition of overthrowing the army and killing generals. At first, the kings were responsible for the death of defeated generals. Later, they also received the influence of the cultures of various countries in the Central Plains and began to do decent things. If you are not decent, I can help you be decent. This tradition of the State of Chu seems to have lasted for a long time until the State of Chu was destroyed, and even generals committed suicide because of defeat.

This tradition is deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Chu people. In Qin, there are even geniuses who have lost all their battles and finally avenged their shame. In Chu, there is no one who has defeated people in Chu. In Chu, the defeated people can only be decent. Although there are three families in Chu, no one will even help you be decent, and you must be decent. This is the fine tradition of the Chu people.

Unfortunately, Linwujun, who has always been favored by the King of Chu, was defeated. In Jingling, Linwujun, who claimed to be a famous general in the world, met a humble man from Qin. He led an army far less than him and defeated him. Linwujun was defeated, but he didn't want to be decent, and he didn't want the King of Chu to help him decent. So he came to Wei State and for many years he had been living in various countries.

The King of Chu may have forgotten that he had such a general, and never paid attention to him again.

Lin Wujun raised his head and looked at Xunzi. He said, "I want to go back to Chu."

"Oh?" Xunzi was a little surprised.

"A few days ago, I sent Zhao Kuo away." Lin Wujun was silent for a moment, and then chuckled. He said, "A newly weaned Zhao child dared to lead 6,000 elderly and weak to conquer the 100,000 troops of Yan State. As for me, I have been in the army for half my life, but in the end I am like a thief, fleeing in various countries. No one can respect me in my heart. He shouted Lin Wujun in front of me, but cursed the courageless rats in my heart..."

He stood up with a slightly ferocious expression. He said, "I want to go back and pay homage to the King of Chu. Even if I want to die, I will die upright, like Zhao Kuo, like a gentleman. I don't want to die old on the sickbed, so that my children will continue to bear the infamy of cowardice! There are no cowards in my Chu State!!" Lin Wujun yelled, as if he really expressed his thoughts, and he felt much more comfortable all over.

Faced with the excited Linwu Jun, Xunzi was unmoved and asked calmly: "Are you not afraid of death suddenly?"

"I have never been afraid, but I have never been willing to die in my own hands without taking revenge on Bai Qi. Now, I think it may be a good thing to die upright."

"Well, then you will be killed by the King of Chu after you go back."

Lin Wujun was stunned, nodded, and said, "I have arranged my funeral. I am here this time to say goodbye to you."

Xunzi said, "I am leaving Zhao State and heading to Jixia, so you escort me all the way. There are many thieves on the road now, and I dare not go alone. Anyway, you are not long before your death, even if it is the last good thing you do before death." Lin Wujun smiled bitterly and said, "I will obey your orders." After that, he said goodbye and left.

After Lin Wujun left, Xunzi closed his eyes and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Zhao Kuo never thought that marching was such a troublesome thing. If he had been appointed as five commanders, it might not have been the case. However, now there are twelve garrison commanders, and the messengers sent by these garrison commanders have never stopped. Zhao Kuo is responsible for everything, such as in which village there are soldiers with diarrhea, some soldiers are bitten by sting, spears are broken, some soldiers faint, all kinds of trivial matters, and reports on the surrounding situation, Zhao Kuo has almost no spare time.

In such a busy and chaotic situation, he saw the scarred Zhao Fu again. Zhao Kuo's mind was blank. Could something happened to Pingyuan Jun?? Zhao Fu got off the horse and walked to Zhao Kuo's chariot. He saw the flag on the chariot. Zhao Fu was stunned for a long time, just staring at the flag. Zhao Kuo hurriedly asked, "Zhao Jun, where is Pingyuan Jun?!" Only then did Zhao Fu wake up.

He faced Zhao Kuo, leaned over and bowed, and said, "Pingyuan Jun had already left Dongwu with an old man surnamed Pang, and brought many visitors to various countries for help." Hearing this, Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at him and asked, "Are you fighting with the Yan people?" Zhao Fu sighed and said, "I learned that the Yan people were invading, I wanted to lead the disciples to attack, but what..."

Zhao Fu thought for a long time, but still didn't say much. He said, "I brought more than 600 people, attacked the Yan people's troops at the Nine Gate, and killed many Yan people, but there were many cavalrymen of the Yan people. They were caught up in Yi'an, and I was defeated and only brought back more than 200 knights. I heard that you led your army to attack the Yan people, so I guess you must have marched from Bai Ren's direction and came to join you."

Zhao Kuo frowned, looked at Handan Zao in the distance, and asked, "Did you send back the wrong news without seeing the person coming clearly, and almost fought with Zhao Fu and the others?" Handan Zao lowered his head. Just now, he did think he had the opportunity to make a contribution, so he led people to charge. As a result, he was pulled off the horse by Zhao Fu in one round. If it weren't for Zhao Fu's resolute hand, he would be afraid he would have died.

"I have issued a military order, but I cannot fight in any situation! How dare you violate my military order? Come! Take it down and behead it!" Zhao Kuo said angrily. Handan Zao was stunned. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Kuo with grievance. He couldn't speak. Zhao Fu glanced at him and understood it in his heart. He hurriedly persuaded: "General, this governor is indeed guilty, but the enemy is in front of him, so it is not easy to kill the general. Please give him the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious contributions."

Everyone also persuaded them one after another. Zhao Kuo snorted coldly and said, "Made in Handan, war is not a joke. Any action of you may harm thousands of us, even millions of people in Zhao. This time I miss you for the first offense and spare your life. If there is a next time, I will definitely be killed and unforgivable!"

"Thank you, General!" Handan Zao bowed to Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo then asked Handan Zao to continue to investigate, called Zhao Fu to his side, and said, "Call those knights. If you are willing to continue to fight against the Yan people, please ask them to follow the army. If you are unwilling, please ask them to go back to Handan, and I can give them some food." Hearing Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Fu couldn't speak and said, "I'll convey your words to them now!"

Zhao Fu left, Zhao Kuo did not order the marching, but was just waiting here.

Soon, Zhao Fu led a group of knights to rush towards here. As soon as Zhao Fu rushed to Zhao Fu, he saw an old man dropping the spear in his hand in fear and squatting down. At this moment, everyone stared at the old man. His sergeant, also an old man, angrily drew out the short sword and pulled him up. Just as he was about to take action, Zhao Kuo hurriedly stopped his behavior. Zhao Kuo looked at the old man deeply, looking at his timid appearance, thinking.

Zhao Fu led everyone to get off the horse. He just pretended that he had not seen the old man. Zhao Fu bowed and said, "General!! We are all willing to obey your orders and follow you to kill the Yan people!"

"We are willing to follow!!" shouted many knights.

These people are all strong young and strong, and they look very burly, which is definitely not comparable to those of the old and weak Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo was very happy. He finally had a useful army. He saw many familiar faces among these people, all of whom had escorted him. These people were also very excited to see Zhao Kuo at this moment. These people continued to set out with the army, but Zhao Fu followed Zhao Kuo, and Zhao Kuo asked him about the situation of the Yan people.

"This Yan State army is not strong. Many of their soldiers are not Yan people. They seem to be Hu people outside Liaodong. They can't even understand Yan language. The weapons are also very messy. It seems that they are not prepared for war. The military discipline is scattered, and there are even many deserters. The Yan State general is determined to quickly destroy Zhao and march urgently. The Yan people are very tired and full of complaints..."

Fu Zhao has brought some good news.

Similarly, he brought some bad news.

"The Yan people killed innocent people as a military merit. There were no living Zhao people in Wusui City. I heard from the deserters that the Lord General Li Fu did not allow them to do this, and also killed many soldiers who harmed the people, but his orders could not be passed to the bottom, and it was useless."
