The strong wind slapped the mountains and forests, making waves of howling sounds.

In such a cold climate, even if there was no snow, it was unbearable. It was fine if the noble men in Handan were all prepared. They all prepared winter clothes, and the people led by Zhao Fu were a little affected. They did not prepare these at all when they set off. They rode fast horses and ran in the strong wind, making the oncoming wind even more violent, and they were trembling with cold.

Along the way, Zhao Kuo saw what the real thing is, nine out of ten rooms, no, ten out of ten rooms, there was no people on the road from Handan to Bairen. Because of the war, the people fled everywhere, making the road even more bleak. Zhao Kuo wanted to help the knights borrow some clothes, but no one could find them. Thinking of his past concerns that he had been discovered by others, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sometimes, cold wind can kill people.

On the third day of the march, a knight under Zhao Fu's command died in the cold wind. After several days of strong wind baptism, at night, he suddenly started to burn and his whole body was hot. Zhao Kuo was so anxious that he prepared hot water for him to drink, and wiped his body with hot cloth... The knight was in a coma all night, muttering the name of his newborn child. The next day, he died in Zhao Kuo's arms.

Zhao Kuo was unable to save him, even though he did everything he could.

Surprisingly, there was no crying and farewell as I imagined. The knights sat around, snuggling each other, just staring blankly. They were very calm, just watching Zhao Kuo crying bitterly while holding the dead. As early as when he left home, they were all ready to welcome such a day, no matter who it was. Handan Zao looked a little envious. He said to the people around him: "This person is so lucky. If one day, when I die, Ma Fuzi could cry for me and send me away, how great it would be."

Then two more people died of wind and cold and disease. Before the battle began, warriors had already fallen. Zhao Kuo took the knights to hunt in the forest. In this cold season, even beasts could not be seen easily. After getting some bloody fur, the knights wrapped the fur around them or stuffed them into their clothes. They came to Bai Ren in the strong wind, but Zhao Kuo did not dare to go in and ask the people here for clothes.

He was not sure if there would be spies from Qin or Yan here. If the enemy knew his true whereabouts, his plan would be completely lost. After bypassing Bai Ren, the road was finally empty, and some of the bodies of Zhao people could be seen. They were wearing thin clothes and fell on the side of the road. Even young and strong men like Zhao Kuo could not resist the cold, let alone the old, weak, women and children who fled.

Zhao Kuo saw a naked mother. The mother was holding the baby in her arms tightly. All her clothes were wrapped around the child. After several circles, the mother's body was frozen like that, and the baby in her arms was not spared. The little guy opened his mouth wide and kept crying. The tears on his face were frozen. Zhao Kuo was trembling all over, raised his head, took a few deep breaths, and his teeth kept colliding together.

Zhao Kuo took off his coat, gently draped on the mother, kissed her on the forehead, and buried her and her child. After thirteen days of travel, Zhao Kuo and his party became more and more cautious. At this moment, they had arrived near the city of Zhen. Zhao Fu led people to inquire and brought back two news, the good news was that the Yan people had not yet captured the city of Zhen, and the bad news was that they had captured the city of Song Zicheng and Yuanshi.

Zhao Fu captured a deserter from the Yan people. From his mouth, he learned that Li Fu was stationed in Songzi City, and he didn't know the news about Qing Qin. It seemed that Qing Qin was stationed in Yuanshi City. Zhao Kuo led the knights to travel through the mountains and forests again. At this time, they could already find the scouts of the Yan people. Fortunately, the Yan people were not familiar with the terrain here. With Zhao Fu and others leading the way, Zhao Kuo could always avoid these scouts in time. There were not many cavalrymen of the Yan people.

However, the inquiry of the Yan people was never fruitful. Li Fu was always in the city, and there were soldiers guarding the city. Zhao Kuo had no way to go into the city to inquire. In such weather, it was impossible not to light a bonfire. Therefore, Zhao Kuo could only take everyone back and forth every day, make fires in the distance to rest, and then return to the city to inquire. Song Zicheng is a big city in the north of Zhao State. Every time he was having a meal, he saw smoke rolling up, which was enough to see that there were not many soldiers in the city.

Zhao Kuo waited outside Songzi City for six days, but Li Fu did not send troops at all. Didn’t Li Fu marching all the time? Zhao Kuo was a little confused. His knights were still suffering from casualties. If he waited, he would not have to take action and he would be defeated by this climate! Zhao Kuo finally made up his mind to capture the deserters of the Yan people everywhere, hoping to get some more information.

Finally, two days later, Zhao Kuo captured two deserters from Yan State. After seeing Zhao Kuo, they seemed particularly surprised and unbelievable. Zhao Fu beat them hard. They cried and begged for mercy. Zhao Fu asked again. Zhao Kuo didn't understand Yan Yan, so he could only let Zhao Fu serve as an interpreter. Zhao Fu said: "Qing Qin seems to have not been able to capture Yuanshi City yet. Li Fu is waiting for him."

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes. If the two armies were united, the difficulties he had to face would be greater. He could only hope that his messenger could play some role.

Compared to Zhao Kuo, the envoy Tu was late. If Zhao Kuo's disciples had not been staring at him, he would have escaped long ago. When the Yan scout surrounded them, the envoy Tu was cold. He was born into a merchant and had some property in his family. He had bribed many military service. But now, due to the influence of the war, the merchants went bankrupt one after another, and he was also among them. However, he was unable to avoid this military service.

The Yan Man smiled grimly and rushed towards him. The guest drew a short sword, but he screamed, "I am the messenger of Zhao State! I am the messenger of Ma Fuzi!"

The Yan people were stunned and whispered. A Yan people stepped forward and punched them. The guests started fighting with them. Soon, there were a few scars on their bodies. The Yan people tied him up. The guests cursed. Tu was still shouting about his identity and did not dare to resist. The Yan people beat him for a while, and then pulled the rope and took them to the city. As soon as they reached the gate, an officer from Yan State heard Tu's scream.

He hurried out and said angrily: "Let these two people go!"

The soldiers looked at him in a daze, and the officer almost jumped up in anger and shouted to the surroundings: "Does anyone know this Hu Yu?! Is there anyone there?!" No one stepped forward. The officer stepped forward directly, pushed the soldiers away strongly, and took the rope from their hands. A Hu sergeant wanted to say something. The officer kicked him over and fell to the ground. The other soldiers looked at the officer angrily, but did not dare to take action.

The officer ignored them and untied Tu and the guest. Then he smiled and said in a Handan voice: "Guests from Zhao State, please forgive their rude behavior. I will take you to see General Lifu." Tu then slowed down a little, and was still afraid. The officer pulled him into the city. It was cold and cold. The soldiers of Yan held high the long whip in their hands. The old and weak Zhao State with numb faces were demolishing their houses or carrying supplies on the road, with blood-colored faces and about to rotten wood.

A woman from Zhao State fell down by a soldier in Yan State just because she fell down. Zhao Kuo's disciple widened his eyes and his eyes were bloodshot. He rushed towards the soldier and was immediately surrounded by the Yan people. The disciple pointed at the soldier in the distance and shouted: "Wait!! When Ma Fuzi rushed into Yan State!! I will treat your mother like this too!! Whip your wife!!"

"This day is not far away!!"

"Not far away!!!"

The Yan people couldn't understand his roar, but just pointed at him and sneered. The Yan soldier holding a whip was even more so. Seeing the angry look of the disciple, he laughed and raised the long whip in his hand again. However, Zhao people who were busy suddenly stopped. Everyone raised their heads and suddenly a fire appeared in their eyes. "Ma Fuzi?"

"Is Ma Fuzi coming?"

"Is it the man in Ma Fuzi?"

The already dead man came alive, with flames burning in his eyes. The soldiers of Yan holding a whip looked at the guests who were pressed to the ground and struggling frantically. He squeezed at the guests and signaled the whip in his hand. He had just raised the whip, "Bang!!" At that moment, the soldiers of Yan fell down. The women of Zhao were trembling all over, and blood was still stained with the wood in their hands.

At that moment, she pounced on her, knocked her hands into the soldiers' eyes, and the soldiers screamed violently. At that moment, the Zhao people were crazy. They shouted Ma Fuzi's name, raised the stone, wood, and even empty-handed, and rushed towards the Yan people beside her. Tu was so scared that she almost fainted. He saw an old man bit off the face of a soldier in Yan State, and then, he was killed, but he still stared at his eyes and bit the face of the soldier.

"Restore my enemy horse's condolence!!!"

The Yan people shouted, raised their weapons, and began to fight with the old and weak Zhao people who were empty-handed. The Yan people's eyes were full of fear when facing such a crazy Zhao people. Why did these Zhao people who were usually gentle and obedient on the contrary suddenly go crazy? It must be that guy's witchcraft, he knows witchcraft!! The Yan people dare not face the knocked guest.

The guest was pressed tightly to the ground, struggling wildly, his eyes widened, and he looked at the battlefield in the distance, and he laughed loudly.

As I smiled, tears fell down my eyes.

He started crying.
