Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 183

Outside the east gate of Handan, a group of soldiers rushed out to drive away the pedestrians, and then Dawuwu led the officials out slowly, looking forward to the front.

Xue Qian and Zhao Wuming rode their horses and galloped all the way, watching the front pull the reins, Zou frowned: "Sun Buer, go and find out, and see what's going on ahead."

"promise".Sun Bu'er bowed and patted his horse's back to ask.

Xue Qian stopped him suddenly, and explained to Zhao Wuming: "The person in front is Xiangguo Dawuwu, and he should be waiting here for the envoys of various countries at this time."

"Emissaries from various countries?"Zhao Wuming reacted and nodded slowly.He turned his horse's head and walked aside, waiting.

Behind the Xiangguo Dawuwu outside the east gate, Gao Zhao looked up and saw Zhao Wuming, and then he was slightly taken aback: "Xiangguo".

"What's the matter, Lord Gao?"Dawuwu listened to the voice and looked at Gao Zhao with doubts.

Gao Zhao explained to Dawuwu: "The next official will accuse you of a crime, leave for a while, and ask the Prime Minister for permission."

"Away?"Dawuwu gradually frowned, with displeasure in his tone.

Gao Zhao smiled apologetically: "The next official will go and return quickly, and will not delay the matter of welcoming the envoys."

Dawuwu didn't speak immediately, but just thought for a while, then nodded.

Gao Zhao saluted, and hurriedly walked towards Zhao Wuming.

Dawuwu looked thoughtfully at the direction in which Gao Zhao left in a hurry, and heard that this person belonged to the fourth son of King Cheng, and was also the leader of the Chaozhong Han family.Who is it that made him leave in such a hurry? .

Gao Zhao walked towards Zhao Wuming and hurriedly bowed: "I have met the fourth son of King Cheng."

"Are you also here to welcome the envoys from various countries?"Zhao Wuming just walked aside, and got off the horse with Xue Qian and others, when he heard Gao Zhao's voice asking him.

Gao Zhao explained to Zhao Wuming: "The envoys of Qin, Chu, Han, Wei, Qi, and Yan have already entered the city, but only the envoys of Lou Fan and Lin Hu have not yet arrived. Just received the news that they will come from the east gate Enter, so Xiangguo brought me and others to greet him."

"East Gate?".Zhao Wuming vaguely felt that something was wrong, but looked at Gao Zhao and didn't say much.

Just when Gao Zhao was about to speak, he saw two teams with Lin Hu and Lou Fan approaching in front of him, and immediately explained to Zhao Wuming: "This official is here on leave. At this time, the envoy is here, and the official needs to go back to greet him."

"Business is the most important thing, let's go."Zhao Wuming agreed immediately without stopping.

Gao Zhao bowed, turned around and ran towards the east gate.

Xue Qian looked at Gao Zhao who was going away, and explained to Zhao Wuming; "After the king ascended the throne, Gao Zhao became an official of Tianbu, and was in charge of domestic tax affairs."

"Taxation? It seems that Gao Zhao's fortune is coming, no wonder I just saw him beaming with joy."The scene of Gao Zhao taking refuge in him suddenly appeared in Zhao Wuming's mind, and it seemed that he was a fool.

As soon as the words fell, something strange suddenly appeared outside the east gate.A man from the state of Zhao was escorted to Dawuwu by Lou Fan, and then a Lou Fan general drew his sword and slashed at the man's hands.There was a commotion among the crowd watching from afar.

Zhao Wuming and Xue Qian looked at each other, got on their horses and galloped forward at the same time.

A group of officials standing at the east gate saw Zhao Wuming, Xue Qian and others coming, and quickly bowed to Zhao Wuming: "See the fourth son of King Cheng."

"The fourth son of King Cheng?"Dawuwu looked at Zhao Wuming who was approaching with puzzled eyes, and immediately came to his senses when he thought of Gao Zhao's resignation just now: "It's a pleasure to meet you".

"Xiangguo Dawuwu".Zhao Wuming asked Dawuwu, and then looked at those officials: "What happened here?".

All the officials looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. When Dawuwu was about to speak, he heard a voice in front of him: "You Zhao people have unclean hands and feet, and dare to steal our money and silk. According to the laws of our Loufan Kingdom For example, his hands have been chopped off. Therefore, the people of Zhao State will be in a commotion."

"This is the country of Zhao. You abused lynching and beheaded according to the laws of our country. Where is Sun Buer...".Zhao Wuming looked at the man who had lost his hands and passed out, and immediately became furious, shouting at Sun Buer behind him.

Sun Buer got off his horse with a few personal guards, walked up to Zhao Wuming and bowed: "My subordinates are here."

"Behead someone who abuses lynching as a public example, so as to make an example of others."Zhao Wuming gave the order immediately.

Sun Buer bowed to accept the order: "No".

With the sword out of its sheath, Sun Bu'er went straight to General Lou Fan.

Dawuwu hastily uttered a word to stop him: "No...".

However, it was already too late, General Lou Fan sent his body away.

The envoy of Lou Fan State was furious, and the sound of drawing swords was everywhere, and he shouted at Zhao Wuming: "Who are you? You dare to kill our generals. Do you, Zhao State, want to declare war on us?".

"Please calm down the envoys, our country has no such intention."Dawuwu hurriedly made amends and apologized to Lou Fanguo's envoy.

Lou Fanguo's envoy was relentless when he gained power, and looked at Dawuwu: "Since you didn't have this intention, why did you kill our generals?".

"this?……".Dawuwu looked embarrassed, and looked at Zhao Wuming.

Lou Fanguo's envoy looked at Zhao Wuming and sneered: "As long as you kill this person, we can treat this incident as never happened, otherwise our clan and your Zhao Kingdom will have to go to war."

"Go to war? Gu will go to war with you sooner or later, but I don't know if you can stop Gu's army."Zhao Wuming looked over without showing any weakness, if Lou Fan went south, he would wish for it.With Zhao Fan standing in front, Seoul can take advantage of the gap.

Envoy Lou Fan seemed to understand Zhao Wuming's wishful thinking, and said to him: "We don't go to Daijun, we go to Xincheng."

"I hope that when the lonely army enters your king's capital Shanwu, you can still be so stubborn."Listening to envoy Lou Fan's threatening words, Zhao Wuming was not afraid at all.The 60 troops in Seoul are already ready to go, so why be afraid of Lou Fan's clan.

Dawuwu was very anxious, and given the situation Zhao Yu was facing at this time, how could he have the energy to launch an offensive against Lou Fan: "The envoy calms down, the truth has already prepared bouillon in the city, and I invite the two envoys to come in and enjoy it."

"You people from Zhao State killed the general of Lou Fan State for no reason. The murderer has not been punished, so how can we leave?".Envoy Lin Hu fanned the flames.

Zhao Wuming didn't wait for Dawuwu to speak, and looked directly at Lin Hu: "How do you want to punish Yu Gu?".

"We don't embarrass your country either. As long as your country hand over the person who just killed our general to our disposal, we can let the matter go."Envoy Lou Fan recalled Zhao Wuming's appearance and the scene where Zhao's officials paid homage, after a little thought, he lowered his requirements.

Xue Qian looked at Lou Fanguo's envoy, and couldn't help saying: "Your request is a little too much."

"Xiangguo, how do you decide on this matter? Do you want to give us an answer? Did our generals just die in vain?".Envoy Lou Fan listened to Xue Qian's words, and immediately looked at Dawuwu.

Dawuwu was in a bit of a dilemma, he was not ignorant of the relationship between Zhao Wuming and Zhao Yu, but at this moment Zhao Guo wanted something from them after all.

Envoy Lin Hu reminded Envoy Lou Fan: "Look at what they do, it would be better to wait for us to enter the palace and let King Zhao make a decision on this matter."

"Okay, this envoy wants to see what King Zhao has to say about this matter."Looking at the scene in front of them, Dawuwu couldn't make a choice that satisfied them, so envoy Lou Fan immediately led the team to the city.

Seeing the scene at this time, Envoy Lin Hu suddenly became in a good mood, and walked in with the team with a smile.

Seeing the envoys of the two countries entering the city in the Great Wuwu Period, he immediately sighed and saluted Zhao Wuming: "Farewell".

As soon as the words fell, before Zhao Wuming could say anything, Dawuwu had already left with all the officials.

Xue Qian thought about how Dawuwu left, and looked at Zhao Wuming: "What you did just now was too arbitrary."

"Arbitrariness? How Arbitrary".Zhao Wuming asked Xue Qian.

Xue Qian sighed: "Is it worth it to offend Xiangguo with this matter?".

Zhao Wuming didn't answer immediately, but just got off his horse and walked towards the man whose hands had been cut off.The voice drifted back along the wind: "Brother Xue, at this point, do you think it's worth offending Xiangguo?"

Xue Qian was speechless, he could only get off his horse and followed Zhao Wuming.

The man whose hands had been cut off had passed out long ago, and the people who were scattered in fright surrounded him one after another.

Zhao Wuming saw that the man was still breathing, and the blood on his arm gushed out.Immediately took off his coat, split the clothes in two with a bronze sword, and made a simple bandage on the unconscious man: "Go to the city quickly and find a doctor, whether you can save him or not depends on his fortune."

"promise".A personal soldier hurriedly bowed to accept the order, and then walked towards the horse and galloped towards the city.

Xue Qian looked at Zhao Wuming bandaging the man, feeling in his heart: "Maybe what Wuming did is the right way, but judging from the current situation, it is a bit unwise."

"They are the people of Zhao State, and they are Zhao people. If we are within our own territory, we can't guarantee their safety. So what's the point of Zhao State's existence?"Zhao Wuming replied while bandaging the man.

Before Xue Qian could reply, the gathered people heard Zhao Wuming's words, and all of them showed indignant eyes and echoed repeatedly.

"This adult's words are reasonable."

"If we wait for the people of Zhao to be in danger within the country of Zhao, then what is the point of the existence of the country of Zhao?"

"The boy in my family heard about the expansion of the army by the former king last year, so he volunteered to sign up to join the army. He died outside the city in defense of Handan some time ago. If he knows what happened today, I don't know how emotional he will be under the nine springs." .

"Although my country of Zhao has experienced catastrophes in the past few years, my blood and courage have not faded away. How dare those barbarians carry out that lynching outside Handan?"

"...".

Xue Qian listened to these remarks, remained silent, and sighed for a long time: "Maybe the road that Wuming is walking is the great way."

The carriage came galloping, and a doctor got out of the carriage in a hurry, and walked towards the unconscious man with a medicine box.

Seeing Lang Zhong approaching, Zhao Wuming immediately stood up and took two steps back to give Lang Zhong his seat.

Xue Qian watched the doctor skillfully rescue the man, and then turned his eyes to Zhao Wuming: "Young master, can you still go to the city?".

"It's rare for Brother Xue to invite you. Why don't you go when you're already at the gate of this city?"Zhao Wuming nodded slightly, then looked at Sun Buer: "Order a personal guard here to assist the doctor."

"promise".Sun Buer bowed to accept the order.

Seeing this, Xue Qian nodded slowly, and then walked towards the horse: "In that case, let's ride into the city."

"Since it's a stroll, riding a horse is too boring. Why don't we put the horse here and let's walk together."Zhao Wuming proposed to Xue Qian.

Xue Qian thought for a while, then pulled the horse aside.

Zhao Wuming walked towards the city with Sun Buer and several personal guards.
