At night, Zhao Kuo first investigated various camps, and then returned to the central army, sat with Zhao Fu, took out the map, and looked at it seriously. Zhao Fu said seriously: "When I left, the Yan people were attacking Yi'an City, and the partial division was attacking Fenglong City. Now, they should be besieging Song Zicheng and Yuanshi City. When we arrive at the battlefield, they will probably gather troops here!"

The place where Zhao Fu refers to is the important transportation center connecting all directions, the city of Cheng (Baixiang County). Zhao Kuo looked at the map carefully and said, "There are no more cities to be broken around, so they will concentrate their troops to first break through the city of Cheng, then attack Fangzi City, and then Bai Ren... and then directly attack Handan." Zhao Fu nodded and frowned and said, "Although the Yan people did not have a population of 100,000, there were still 70,000 or 80,000, just relying on a few thousand people..."

Zhao Fu did not continue to say it, but Zhao Kuo already understood what he meant and used 6,000 people to resist 100,000 people. This was to hit the stone with eggs. Zhao Fu said again: "You can't fight in the wild. I know that the walls of Fangzi City are solid. It's better for us to march to Fangzi City and defend it here. Maybe they can't easily break it. When they run out of food and grass, they will definitely defeat them."

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "Their purpose is not to break through all the cities along the way. They are heading for Handan. If we defend the city, they only need to leave a side army to surround us, and the rest can drive straight in. This is inappropriate."

When Zhao Fu heard this, he sighed again and couldn't speak. Zhao Kuo looked at the map in front of him seriously, and his eyes lit up. He hurriedly asked, "Have you ever attacked the logistics line of the Yan people?" Zhao Fu shook his head helplessly and said, "General, it's useless. They may have emptied the treasury of Yan State. They have no grain transport troops. The grain trucks follow them all the way, and the supply is enough."

Zhao Kuo stood up and paced back and forth, as if he was hesitating. Zhao Fu did not disturb him. Everyone just looked at him quietly. Zhao Kuo frowned and thought about something. After walking back and forth for a long time, he asked again: "How many times have you attacked the Yan people's camp?"

"three times."

"You have only a few hundred people, how can you attack?"

"They did not encounter any enemy along the way, and they had to march urgently, so they only rested on the ground at night, and did not set up camps. Apart from a few sentries, they had almost no defense. However, after I attacked several times, they strengthened their defense and we gave up the attack."

Zhao Kuo thought seriously, then looked at Ge and said, "Please bring the old man who was scared by General Zhao Fu today!" Ge didn't know what Zhao Kuo wanted to do, but he still stood up. After a while, he brought the old man to Zhao Kuo. The old man looked very scared and trembled all over. As soon as Zhao Kuo got up, he knelt down and begged: "Please forgive me, General."

Zhao Kuo smiled and helped him up and said, "I don't want to blame you for your idea. What is your name?"

"I call it Tu..." The old servant said in a panic. Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Tu, I have something now that I want to get rid of you. If you want to, I can give you a reward and appoint you as the commander of the soldiers. If you don't want to, I won't make things difficult for you." Tu slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo then said, "I want to write a letter to Yan Xianglifu and persuade him to withdraw his troops. I want to ask you to send me a letter."

"I...my...", the old man couldn't speak.

"I will tell Li Fu in the letter that even if you are unwilling to seek peace, don't hurt you. I wonder if you are willing to go?"

The old soldier pondered for a moment, his face was extremely pale, he nodded and said, "I am willing to go." Zhao Kuo laughed, and someone brought the bamboo slips and wrote them. Zhao Fu and others looked at each other, not knowing what Zhao Kuo wanted to do. Zhao Kuo looked around and said to one of his disciples: "Please take two horses, as deputy envoys, escort the commander all the way, and rush to the Yan army camp as fast as possible, and then bring him back."

The guest was not afraid, so he received the order and stood behind the old man.

Zhao Kuo brought some meat to entertain them, and then asked them to leave. The two of them rode on horses and galloped forward.

After seeing them off, Zhao Kuo hurriedly called another guest and said, "Please return to Handan quickly and tell Yu Qing that according to my military order, two thousand people were drawn out from the knights stationed in Yanmen and Dai County, wandering around Wusui City, attacking the passing Yan people's baggage chariots or the envoys of Yan people. Their purpose is to cut off the connection between Li Fu and Yan State!"

"only!"

Zhao Fu hurriedly stood up and said, "General, the Yan people don't have any baggage chariots at all! They carried their own food and did not need to transport baggage."

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Soon, they will need it." He hurriedly called Handan Zao and said, "Please call all the people who come with you." He also ordered Ge to remove the chariot and the horses of the chariots. Soon, all the young and strong in the army gathered in the central army. They didn't know why Zhao Kuo called them and whispered.

The more than 300 people were built in Handan, plus the more than 200 people brought by Zhao Fu, and his own disciples, Zhao Kuo found that he could gather nearly 600 elite knights. Zhao Kuo gathered these people around and said, "Please bring enough food and prepare horses. I want to lead you to kill the Yan people. If you are afraid, you can tell me now that I will not blame you, but once you follow me, you cannot retreat halfway. Please know the two or three sons."

When everyone passed Zhao Kuo's words, the first ones who became excited were the noble boys. They didn't know what fear was. They also fantasized in their minds that they followed the general and fought with one hundred. Isn't this the best opportunity? They screamed one after another. They were willing to fight to the death with Zhao Kuo. Zhao Fu did not hesitate. Most of their people knew Zhao Kuo and believed that they had accepted Zhao Kuo's kindness.

Isn’t it my honor to die on the battlefield with such a kind and righteous person?

"We are willing to follow!!"

Zhao Kuo looked at these extremely determined warriors, and his heart was filled with courage. He said, "Please slaughter!" This matter was done by Ge. He dragged a sheep from the camp. Ge skillfully tied the sheep's legs, dug a pit, pressed the sheep down, cut the sheep's throat with one sword, and blood sprayed into the pit. The sheep just struggled for a moment and stopped moving. Ge cut off the sheep's head and placed it in front of Zhao Kuo.

This sacrifice was not as solemn as the sacrifices that King Zhao had sacrificed at the time of departure, but in everyone's hearts, the sacrifice was extremely sacred. Zhao Kuo looked at everyone seriously and said, "The Yan people took advantage of the Zhao army in Changping, and took the opportunity to invade Zhao and kill the women and children of Zhao. They even boasted about it, saying that there were no warriors in Zhao. This time, I would lead the warriors of Zhao and let the Yan people see what Zhao's country is!"

"good!"

Zhao Kuo pulled Ge aside and ordered: "I have something to tell you. This time I will take everyone away, but this army still needs a commander, and I must choose a trusted person to be responsible for this matter. I want to ask you to stay and lead the army toward Bai Ren. There is no need to be rushed. Just follow the original speed. Please agree. I am not leaving you because you are not brave enough, but because I trust you. "

Ge was silent for a long time before nodding.

That night, Zhao Kuo and everyone rode on horses, carrying enough food, and preparing enough spare horses. The warriors were extremely excited and wiped the sword, with pride on their faces. They thought they had been recognized by Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo prepared a lot of things this time, almost emptying the bags in the army, and even brought all the wine bags given by King Zhao.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Fu beside him and asked, "Does there anyone under your command who knows the path that can be discovered by others?" Zhao Fu said seriously, "I knew that I came this time and walked on the path. Because of the war, the people fled everywhere and could hardly see any figures."

"Okay, let's go this path."

Zhao Kuo, dressed in military uniform, rode a horse and pointed his sword to the north.

"Go towards the direction of the city!!!"
