Overlord of the late Qin Dynasty

Chapter 293 Zhao Gao died, Han Gu descended (3)

A few days later, tens of thousands of Yan troops escorted a carriage to the north.

On the carriage, Zang Tu woke up leisurely.

"Your Majesty, you are awake!" Zhang Zhen was pleasantly surprised to see that Zang Tu had woken up.

Looking at the decoration of the carriage, Zang Tu asked suspiciously, "Where is this widow?"

"Your Majesty is in the carriage and is on his way to Ji County!" Zhang Zhen answered Zang Tu's question softly.

"How's Zhuo County?" Zang Tu asked weakly with his mouth cracked.

"This!" Zhang Zhen was reluctant to reveal the situation in Zhuo County.

"Let's talk! What else can't I bear?" Zang Tu knew that Zhang Zhen didn't want to make himself too tired when he just woke up, but as the king of a country, he had to know the big things and small things in the country at all times.

"Our army suffered a disastrous defeat in the first battle in Zhuo County, losing nearly 5 horses. General Zhennan Shi Dayuan was captured alive by Wei Loufeng, the capital of the Zhongshan Kingdom. The captain Mi Duo, the county magistrate Guo Tong of Zhuo County, and the county Sima Wei Jing all surrendered to the Zhongshan Kingdom! Right now, the army is retreating for fifty li, and the rear general Gao Yi and the left general Zou Yu will be in command for the time being." Although Zhang Zhen couldn't bear it, he still told the results of the battle and the news obtained after the investigation.

"Mi Duo and Wei Jing had no choice but to surrender. Their family members, young and old, were captured by Lu Niu occupying Fangcheng; but Guo Tong is a real spy."

"This Guo Tong had acquainted with Han Yan as early as when Han Guang attacked the land of Yan Dynasty. When Han Guang captured Jicheng and made himself queen, Han Yan helped Guo Tong many times, making him become the chief of the pavilion step by step. The position of county magistrate. This time, Guo Tong was tempted by a letter from the cold war to treat him as a county magistrate, which made our army defeated by surprise!"

"When the king is in a coma, it is really usurping to issue orders with the king's orders. Please punish the king!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhen knelt on the carriage and cupped his hands to plead guilty.

"Follow the power in a hurry, what is your crime?" Seeing this, Zang Tu motioned to the maid beside him to help Zhang Zhen up and comforted him with praise. "Besides, if Qing is not here, the army will be defeated. I don't know if I will be able to speak with Qing now! Qing, you have made great contributions to Yan. When you return to Jicheng, you will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Zhen was very moved when he heard that.

"The widow didn't expect it! Guo Tong would betray the widow and the country of Yan just because of the position of a county guard! The widow also thought that after the war, Guo Tong would be made a senior doctor and enter the court to participate in state affairs. Fortunately, But now I see that this person is not sincere about Yan, which is a good thing!" Zang Tu felt a little regretful, but at the same time he was very happy.

"I never imagined that Guo Tong would treason the country for the sake of a county guard. But the matter has come to this point, please don't be sad. The most important thing is to take care of your body!" Zhang Zhen continued following Zang Tu's words, But then he began to persuade Zang Tu to take good care of his health.

"I know!" Zang Tu expressed his awareness little by little, and then asked, "What happened to Jicheng?"

"When Yan Xiangguo and General Tie Mo, who were staying in Jicheng, got the news of the defeat of the army, they urgently called Lin Shu and Gongsun Shi to send troops back to help. Now nearly 10 troops have gathered in Jicheng. With 20 troops in defense, our army will have nearly [-] troops. It is more than twice as much as the cold service, and I am not afraid of any tricks!" Zhang Zhen replied after clapping his hands.

"I'm tired!" Zang Tu didn't say anything after listening, and then said very tiredly.

"Resign!" Zhang Zhen bowed his hands and exited the carriage.

Luan Bu, who was standing by the side, saw Zhang Zhen getting out of the carriage, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Taiwei, is the king going to him?".

"The king is awake, but his body is still very weak. Don't worry him!" Zhang Zhen nodded, then looked at Luan Bu and said in a low voice.

"Yeah!" Luan Bu nodded in agreement, and then whispered in his ear, "Although Lin Shu and Gongsun Shi each brought in 2 horses, most of them were fresh recruits; but it was Fei Qing who sent his lieutenant general Liu He with him. Liaodong iron cavalry traveled [-] starry nights, and now they have arrived in Jicheng!"

"Lin Shu and Gongsun Shi really failed the king's trust. On the contrary, Fei Qing was beyond my expectation! This is really a loyal minister in a national calamity!" Zhang Zhen had a great feeling for Fei Qing after hearing this. However, they were very disappointed with Lin Shu and others.

"Yes! Xiangguo was also very surprised, but since Fei Qing dispatched [-] elite cavalry to aid Jicheng, Xiangguo and General Tie had no choice but to take over!" Luan Bu was also very emotional.

In fact, Yan Hai, Zhang Zhen and others felt that they could not transfer Wei Fei Qing's troops at first, so they did not order to go to Liaodong.

But I never thought about it, and the result was beyond everyone's expectations.Both Lin Shu and Gongsun Shi only called in freshly recruited men on the grounds of defending against the north or Di, while Fei Qing sent in [-] elite cavalry.

"After this battle, let's talk to the king again! I have to treat Lord Ling better, after all, this is a loyal subject of my country Yan, don't let him feel bad!" After thinking about it, Zhang Zhen preached to Luan. "Also, send someone to talk to Xiangguo and General Tie immediately, stop embezzling Liaodong's grain, grass and military equipment!"

"That's right!" Luan Bu agrees with a little bit. "I will send someone to Jicheng to inform General Tie and Xiangguo."

Ji County.

Yan Palace, Tai Chi Hall.

"Xiangguo, great joy! Great joy!" After receiving the report from Luan Bu's messenger, Tie Mo rushed to the palace to congratulate Yan Poster.

"What caused the general to lose his composure?" Yan Hai was assisting the young master Zang Yan to handle the government affairs of the country, and he was a little puzzled when he saw Tie Mo's happy face.

Zang Yan, the son of Zang Tu, also looked at Tie Mo curiously, wondering what could make a normally serious general so happy.

"The king is awake!" Tie Mo replied immediately.

"What? Father is awake?" Before Yan Hai could react, Zang Yan clapped his hands happily.

"The king is awake? But really?" Yan Hai also smiled for the first time since Zang Tu fell into a coma.

"Yes! When the king woke up, the Taiwei was beside him!" Tie Mo nodded with certainty.

"God bless my country of Yan!" Yan Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Tie Mo's confirmation.

During the past few days when Zang Tu was in a coma, what Lin Shu and Gongsun Shi did made Yan Hai a little frightened.Yan Hai was afraid that Lin Shu and Gongsun Shi would separate and stand on their own, just like Han Guang divided Wu and Zhao back then.Fortunately, Zang Tu woke up after three days of coma, which relieved Yan Hai's tense heart.

"It's so great, father is awake! I'm going to tell my mother the news!" Zang Yan was very happy after receiving Tie Mo's confirmation.

Seeing this, both Yan Hai and Tie Mo thought that Zang Yan's filial piety was commendable.Little did he know, Zang Yan was happy that he could go to practice martial arts instead of continuing to deal with state affairs.

...........................

After Zang Tu returned to Jicheng, he sent Cai Jin and Ju Ze to Zhao and Chu for help.

After Cai Jin arrived in the state of Zhao, he was welcomed by the king and ministers of the state of Zhao.After learning about the situation of Yan State, Zhao Wang Wuchen sent generals Chen Shi and Ding Fu to lead [-] troops to Xiaquyang to force Zhongshan State to withdraw its troops for a truce.
