Chapter 143
Seeing that the two sides were about to start a war again, the red-robed general was calm and waved his hand to stop Zhao Jun who wanted to take action.
Although Deng Tu was eager to take Bai Ba and others, he couldn't afford to offend the five thousand cavalry of the Red Robe General, so he had to watch it honestly and not dare to act rashly.
The Red-robed General took a step forward and said respectfully: "General Bai, I'm afraid you don't know that the former King of Zhao Wuchen had died at the hands of the surrendered general Li Liang of Qin. The current King of Zhao is a descendant of Zhao that General Chen Yu and Prime Minister Zhang Er found from the descendants of the six countries, named Zhao Xie."
Bai Ba was stunned. Wu Chen did not trust him. Although he was resentful, he was still a little surprised to hear that a man who claimed to be King Zhao died like this.
"In this chaotic world, the king's life is even cheaper than grass. I really don't know how many grass-headed kings will die in a turmoil!" After sneering, Bai Ba borrowed the yellow silk square box handed over by the red-robed general with one hand.
When you open the box, the first thing that catches your eye is the edict.
When Bai Ba opened the edict, everything was still in the old system of Zhao State, but the place where the king signed the letter changed from the previous seal of the military minister to the current seal of Zhao Xie.
Below the edict is a square seal, which is the seal of the vanguard of Zhao State.
Looking back at the Bai family army behind him, Xie Ke and others who had just been rescued by him, Bai Ba frowned slightly.
If he agreed to the invitation of King Zhao, he would not know what kind of person the so-called Zhao Xie was. Bai Ba was unwilling to serve a man like a martial minister. But if he did not agree to the invitation of King Zhao, there would probably be a fierce battle today. Even if his government army could escape by chance, he would probably suffer heavy casualties.
After thinking silently, Bai Ba decisively picked up the seal and said loudly: "Since King Xie of Zhao looks down on Bai, then Bai Ba will take the pioneer seal."
The red-robed general seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the cavalry behind him also smiled on his face, only Deng Tu's face was gloomy and clear.
Seeing Bai Ba receiving the seal, the general of the Red Robe took out an edict from his arms, knelt on the ground with one leg, raised his head high and said, "General is above, and the last general Zhao Lei is in charge of the order of King Zhao, leading five thousand vanguard cavalry, waiting for the general's order."
Bai Ba reached out and picked up the edict in his hand and took a look. The content of the edict was to ask him to accept the five thousand cavalry led by Deputy Pioneer Zhao Lei, as the vanguard force, to guard Linji City bordering Qin. All the soldiers and horses in Linji City were under the command of Bai Ba.
Hearing this order, Deng Tu's face changed several times, but he quickly calmed down and stepped forward and smiled and said, "General Bai, we really don't know each other without fighting, we actually became a family. For the misunderstanding in the middle, Rong Xiao gave the general an explanation, please do not hold grudges."
Although Zhang Shuo was his confidant and was killed by Bai Ba, Deng Tu naturally would not be stupid enough to offend his immediate boss for a dead man.
If it were Bai Ba before, he would have been unreasonable. But now living in the mountains and forests of Luerling has already restrained his sharpness.
Bai Ba bowed to Deng Tu and said, "The general needs no more. The King of Zhao said in his decree that the rebel Li Liang resigned to Qin. Now he is in charge of Shangdang County and has asked Qin for help. We have two tasks now, one is to prevent Li Liang from fleeing from Linji to Qin, and the other is to resist Qin's reinforcements."
"For the sake of the present plan, our Linji is the only place for Qin and Zhao to hand over. To defend Linji, we must work together." Bai Ba finished speaking, looking at Deng Tu and Zhao Lei.
A few days later, the atmosphere in Linji City has been fresh.
After Bai Ba took control of all the troops, the laws were strict. Anyone who harassed the people would be beheaded. Under Bai Ba's leadership, the Zhao army in Linji worked hard to prepare for war.

Xianyang imperial capital, Xianyang Palace, Wuxin Hall.
Hu Hai frowned and looked at the roll of bamboo slips in front of him. Since the paper was made, it has been popularized among the Secretary of the Qin Army. All official documents that were passed on from time to time were replaced by paper.
The bamboo slips in front of me were obviously not from the Qin army.
The content of the bamboo slip is written by Li Liang, a rebel general of Zhao State, saying that he had occupied Shangdang County and wanted to present it to the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty to redeem the crime of betraying Qin.
"You have read all the contents of the bamboo slips. Tell me, do you want to save me or not?" Hu Hai rubbed his head and asked.
"This Li Liang was originally my general of Qin. When the rebel Chen She raised his army, he shook the flag and rebelled on Zhaodi. Such repetitive villains are not enough to believe. According to my opinion, it would be better not to save me." Youzhan sucked his teeth and shook his head and said.
Meng Yi looked at Youzhan and then looked at Li Si beside him. He knew that Li Liang was a relative of Li Si and wanted to see what the prime minister said.
Li Si coughed and said, "Li Liang is my relative, but he is capricious. He surrendered today and was forced by the Zhao people. If he gained power in the future, it will inevitably be repeated. I agree with Youzhan's opinion."
Hu Hai nodded, looked at Meng Yi, and asked, "Is General Meng Tian better in gasping? I have not seen him these days, I am very worried."
"My brother's illness is all caused by coldness. Now that winter is coming, it's a little worse. But the emperor doesn't have to worry about his brother. However, I have different opinions on Li Liang's affairs." Meng Yi said with thought.
"It's good that Meng Tian is fine. I'll go over to see him in the next few days. As for Li Liang, what do you think of my dear?"
"Chen She raised the flag of rebellion, and our Great Qin responded a lot. Many of the county officials who were corresponding to the rebels came from aristocratic families, just like Li Liang. If he wanted to return to our Great Qin today, we would not save him when we were dead. I am afraid that if someone had such thoughts in the future, he would have to think twice." Meng Yi paused and Hu Hai nodded.
"Some of these officials are truly rebelling. Most of them are forced by circumstances and have to respond to the rebels and protect their lives and the people in the counties. If Li Liang can get proper place in the Qin Dynasty, I believe there are still many ministers willing to be under the Qin Dynasty."
Meng Yi said it was reasonable, but Hu Hai still felt a little tired of these people who had rebelled. But this kind of frivolous feeling was hidden deep by him.
After all, an emperor cannot judge things based on his own likes and dislikes. What he needs to consider is the country and country of Qin. Meng Yi's opinion is undoubtedly the best solution for this period.
He first appeased these people, and then found an excuse to cut off military power and give him a free clerk. It would be fine. Understanding this section, Hu Hai's expression calmed down and his fingers gently tapped the table and said, "Now Wang Ben led a large army to guard Sanchuan County. After this period, it is estimated that Li You had regained the control of Sanchuan County. I see, let Wang Ben lead his army to Zhao State from Linji and directly penetrate Shangdang County."
Looking at Li Si, Hu Hai continued, "It's better for the Prime Minister to write an edict to Wang Ben in the name of the Counselor's Office."
"No!" Li Si bowed, he had a good personal relationship with Li Liang. But just now, the second emperor asked that in order to avoid suspicion, he did not dare to talk about rescue. Now Meng Yi's words made Hu Hai determined to rescue Li Liang, and he was happy. When he stood up, he looked at Meng Yi gratefully.
"I visited Baijialou in a private visit the day before yesterday, and suddenly realized something. When Meng Tian's breathing improves one day, let's discuss it together." Hu Hai said, holding the square table.
