Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 227
After Cheng Wangsi's fourth son's mansion outside Handan City, the shouts of killing in the camp of the personal guards shook the sky.The [-] personal guards are practicing as usual, Zhao Wuming led Sun Buer, Fan Shun, and Qing Que to patrol.

Thinking about the situation during this period of time, Sun Buer couldn't help asking Zhao Wuming: "Since my lord came back from the palace half a month ago, I have been in this barracks every day. My lord may not know this period of time, whether it is Handan or the whole Zhao Guodu is surprisingly calm."

"This is just the calm before the storm, but I don't know what happened to Zhao Zhen's persuasion of the public."Zhao Wuming looked at the guards in the barracks and walked forward slowly.

Qing Que looked at Zhao Wuming and replied to him: "I heard that Zhao Zhen, the commander of the imperial army, has convinced almost half of the public clan with the bamboo slip given by the national captain, but the public clan is scattered in various places, and it may take a while to gather troops. time".

"My country of Zhao has suffered a lot these years. I'm afraid that the savings of the public are not much, and the food and grass in their hands are not enough, so the speed of gathering troops is naturally a bit slower."Fan Shun explained to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming listened to the words of the two, and seemed a little careless. He didn't know whether he was asking the three of them or talking to himself: "It's time for another message."

"Message? What news?".Qing Que and Fan Shun looked at each other with blank eyes.

Sun Buer naturally understood what Zhao Wuming was asking, but Qing Que and Fan Shun were both around and it was hard to say clearly, so he could only vaguely say: "The news should come soon."

"Some time ago, I discussed with my elder brother and agreed that the battle will be set at the front line of Xindu, Julu and Sand Dunes. What do you think about this?"Zhao Wuming asked the three of them.

Fan Shun thought for a while in his mind, showing a worried look: "Our military strength is not enough, and now we have to divide the troops, I am afraid that we will lose more and win less."

"The [-] guards in Handan, the [-] forbidden troops, and the [-] lord's personal guards correspond to three places. I don't know which one the lord intends to belong to."Sun Buer didn't reply, but just asked Zhao Wuming.

Qing Que's lips moved, she didn't know what to write, and then held back her words.

Zhao Wuming turned around and happened to see it, and asked Qing Que puzzledly: "Is there anything you can't say here in Gu, just say what comes to mind."

"The war is about to start, and I don't know whether Qing'an will be able to get what he wants among the defenders in Handan."Qingque replied to Zhao Wuming.

Seeing the worried look on Qingque's face, Fan Shun said to him displeasedly: "It is the duty of a soldier to go into battle and kill the enemy, and it is also your brother Qing'an's wish. What to worry about."

"It's human nature to worry about the safety of your loved ones. If you don't want Qing'an to go to the battlefield, I can go and talk to Brother Xue and Guowei."Zhao Wuming thought for a while and proposed to Qingque.

Qing Que quickly shook her head: "This is absolutely impossible, just like what Fan Langzhong said, it is his wish to go to battle and kill the enemy. How can an elder brother cut off his future in the name of worrying."

"It's best you can think of it that way".Facing the three words Fan Langzhong that Qing Que said, Fan Shun was depressed but could only pinch his nose to recognize it.

Zhao Wuming seemed to have thought of something, and then looked at Qing Que and Fan Shun: "I wonder if you two will participate in this battle?".

"Where there is a young master, how can there be no blue sparrows? As long as the young master is still in Zhao State, my blue sparrow will definitely accompany you."At this time, Qingque didn't even call the lord anymore, and called him son directly.

Zhao Wuming smiled at Qing Que, and suddenly felt that the word "Young Master" was very pleasant to the ears: "Gu suddenly felt that calling you and Fan Shun "Gu Gongzi" was much more pleasant than calling "Gu Master". If there are no outsiders present, you should still be called "Gu Gongzi."

"I didn't expect you to feel the same way. I also felt awkward when I called you Lord. If it wasn't for Fan Langzhong's constant muttering that calling him like this would make you a younger generation, otherwise I wouldn't bother to care about it."After Qing Que finished speaking, she deliberately glared at Fan Shun.

Fan Shun smacked his lips, and replied angrily to Qing Que: "After all, it's all my fault in the end."

"That is".Qingque replied without thinking.

The four of them laughed at the same time, Zhao Wuming changed the topic, and asked them: "Since you Qingque and Fan Shun are both participating in this battle, let's choose a place and give Zhao Fan a big gift."

"I don't know where the son means."Fan Shun asked Zhao Wuming, but the speed of changing his words was not slow at all.

Zhao Wuming pondered, and asked Fan Shun: "Which place do you think Zhao Fan will personally attack?"

"Xindu".Fan Shun thought for a while, and replied to Zhao Wuming.

When Zhao Wuming heard the word Xindu, he remained silent, obviously still analyzing the possibility.

Fan Shun carefully analyzed Zhao Wuming: "Xindu's fortifications are far superior to the giant deer and the sand dunes. If Mr. Dai Yun wants to go south, he will first try his best to pull out the sand dunes, which is a hidden danger, and at the same time use his main force to attack the giant deer, taking advantage of the opportunity to attack Xindu. However, it is impossible for Dai Yunjun not to have heard about the affairs of the public clan. In order to buy time, he may divide his troops at the same time as the king. Divide the main force into two, and rush to the sand dunes and giant deer at the same time, forcing the king to increase his troops in two places. At that time, Mr. Yun personally led an elite raid on Xindu and entered Handan. After all, the distance from Xindu to Handan was the shortest.”

"Fan Shunzhi's subordinates agree, the lord can ask King Zhao to guard and strengthen the fortifications of Xindu."Sun Buer thought for a while and suggested to Zhao Wuming that the [-] personal guards would not have as many troops as the Handan garrison and the forbidden army, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they are only strong but not weak.

Zhao Wuming nodded slowly, looking at Fan Shun and Qing Que: "You two are patrolling the camp on behalf of Gu, Gu still has to think about whether to choose Xindu or not."

"promise".The two bowed and turned to leave.

Seeing the two walking away, Xiao Zhan appeared in front of Zhao Wuming, holding a bamboo slip in his hand and winking at him.

Looking at Xiao Zhan's appearance, Zhao Wuming smiled and asked deliberately: "Xiao Zhan, did you get sand in your eyes?".

"You just got into the sand."Xiao Zhan looked at Zhao Wuming with a depressed face.

Zhao Wuming stretched out his hand to Xiao Zhan: "Bring it here."

"I worked so hard to deliver the letter, and you bully child labor like this?".Xiao Zhan turned his hand away unhappily.

Zhao Wuming completely ignored his words: "If you want anything, go talk to Prime Minister Xiao He, it's useless to talk to me."

"mean".Xiao Zhan muttered, and then handed the bamboo slips to Zhao Wuming: "This is a good news, I want to double the reward."

After speaking, I took out a small notebook and started to remember.

Zhao Wuming looked at Xiao Zhan's actions and couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you keeping accounts?".

"Do you know if you are innocent?".Xiao Zhan replied angrily, and quickly jotted it down.

Zhao Wuming looked at the unhappy Xiaozhan: "You go back and show this account book to Xiao He, and say that Gu said it, and I will settle all the accounts for you at once today."

"real?".Xiao Zhan immediately showed a smile, seeing Zhao Wuming nodded and disappeared immediately before he could react.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan disappeared, Zhao Wuming opened the bamboo slips with a smile, then he was taken aback, and told Sun Buer: "Prepare the horse, Gu must enter the palace immediately."

"promise".Sun Buer didn't ask any more questions, and left immediately to prepare the horses.
