Chapter 202 The Wrath of the Lord 2

Handan is located in the east of Handan Mountain, which is named after the mountain. Because it is backed by the Taihang Mountains and the water of the Zhang River in the south, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the throat of the State of Zhao leading to the Central Plains.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Handan originally belonged to the State of Wei. After Zhao Jianzi, who was the Zhengqing of the State of Jin at that time, got this place from the State of Wei, he incorporated it into the sphere of influence of the Zhao family. In order to strengthen Zhao's management of the southern territory, Handan City was built according to the risk. After the three families were divided into Jin, Handan became a bridgehead for the state of Zhao to fight for hegemony, and its status became more and more important. After Zhao Jinghou moved his capital, Handan replaced Jinyang as the center of the whole Zhao's military and political economy.

Because Handan is close to the Central Plains and the State of Qi and Wei to the south, if the State of Zhao and the two countries have a bad relationship, Handan will directly become the front line of the war. Therefore, as the continuous repair and reinforcement of Handan, the capital of King Zhao, when Zhao He was the king, Handan had become the largest military fortress in the world. In terms of arduous and solidity, it was far better than Xianyang, Linzi, Daliang and other capitals.

In addition to the protection of tall walls, there are still five small satellite cities scattered in Handan, and the dangerous place of Hanshan Mountain in the north is also equipped with relevant es. During the war, these small city pass and the main city of Handan echoed each other. If the enemy wants to capture Handan, they must conquer these satellite cities one by one without worries. Similarly, if the satellite city is besieged by the army, the main force of Zhao in Handan can attack the enemy's back with a light horse.

It can be seen that these satellite cities are extremely important in the Handan city defense system, and have always been stationed by the city guards.

The sun is setting, the twilight is getting heavier, and it has passed three quarters. According to the Zhao system, the garrison should close the gate and start the curfew.

Just when the gate was closed, there was a sound of horses' hoofs in the distance. The two riders galloped towards the gate, and it seemed that they wanted to rush into the city before the gate was closed. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the immediate knight had to stop outside the closed gate, with a disappointed face.

Zhao soldiers at the top of the city smiled gloatingly. They usually saw more of this kind of scene. There are often passers-by who do business abroad who have to shiver and complain under the wall all night because they missed the time when the gate is closed. Only when the gate is opened the next day can they enter.

The curfew system has been implemented in the State of Zhao for a hundred years. After closing the gate at night, no one is allowed to enter or leave the gate unless there is an emergency military situation or a king's order. Even the princes and dignitaries cannot make an exception. Therefore, the soldiers who guarded the city were bored and gloated at the two people under the city.

The two people in the city looked at each other. The thin knight raised his voice and said loudly to the head of the city, "Brother in the city, may I ask your lieutenant."

Zhao Bingyan at the top of the city poked out his head and said lazily, "What are you shouting? Don't shout. As soon as the gate is closed, you, even the king of heaven, will have to wait until tomorrow morning to enter the city. Stay with me honestly. Our lieutenant will not have time to see you.

Zhao Xin was not angry, but still smiled and said kindly, "I have something important to do. I hope this brother can help spread it. Your captain will never blame you when he sees me."

When Zhao Bing saw that Zhao Xin's tone was full of confidence, he couldn't help looking at him carefully. Although the sky can't be seen clearly, it can be faintly seen from the costume on his body that it is the costume of General Zhao Jun. Naturally, he didn't want to offend Zhao Xin, so he said politely, "This officer, who are you? I can also pass on to the lieutenant."

"You just need to say that it is an old knowledge in the Yulin Army, and your captain will come and know."

Zhao Bing was shocked when he heard the name of Yulin, and he didn't dare to neglect it. He hurriedly said, "Shangguan, please wait a moment, the villain is going to spread it." After saying that, he climbed down the tower and trotted all the way.

The man who had been bowing his head behind Zhao Xin and saying nothing suddenly raised his head. A smile flashed in the tiger's eyes and teased Zhao Xin: "I can't see that you have a great reputation in Handan."

Zhao Xin scratched his head with some embarrassment and said, "Isn't this all due to your appreciation? This lieutenant is a general under Lieutenant Zhao. I have had a lot of deals with the city guard, and they should all recognize me."

But I knew in my heart that it was Le Yi who defended this city. Last time he asked Lieutenant Li Xi for Le Yi for a favor. Li Xi also made a personal favor for Zhao Xin and transferred Le Yi to Yancheng, north of Handan, as a lieutenant. Zhao Xin knew this in his heart, so he was so confident.

After getting the promise of the position of Yan Wangji, Zhao Yong no longer stayed. In order to return to Handan as soon as possible, he and Zhao Xin decided to rush back day and night on the Liangju in the army. He also made Han Sheng and his army stay in the alliance with the King of Yan under his own banner, so as to confuse people with ulterior motives and prevent changes in the middle.

Both of them rode Qianliliangju collected by Zhao Yong. They were replaced by two horses, and they ate and slept day and night. It was nearly a thousand miles away from the south to Handan, but the two arrived in only eight days. Although Zhao Yong was getting older, he was no less than when he was young. When he was tired, he rested for a while on the bumpy horse. When he was hungry, he simply grabbed the dry food in the bag and chewed a few bites. He forced the army for six days as if nothing had happened. On the contrary, Zhao Xin complained all the way. If anyone saw two people rushing on the road, no one would have thought that this bearded and rough-faced middle-aged man was the famous father of the State of Zhao.

Zhao Bing, who saw the reward, did not reply for a long time. Zhao Yong and Zhao Xin and others gradually became a little impatient, so they got off the horse. After a while, I saw that Zhao Bing brought the lieutenant who led them over.

Le Yiben was eating in the camp. When he heard his subordinates, he didn't pay attention to it. He still ate dinner slowly.

In his opinion, it is nothing more than the children of some large rich families who go out to hunt and play late. They think that they can make an exception to enter the city by relying on their power, but it doesn't work in his Leyi.

Since he took office in February, I don't know how many such scenes he has encountered, so it's not surprising.

After eating, Le Yi raised his eyelids and asked, "What is the identity of those two?"

"A teenager said it was Lieutenant Yulin's old acquaintance, but he didn't say much about anything else."

Le Yi was stunned. "Youth", "Yu Lin", he could not have thought it was Zhao Xin, and he suddenly became suspicious.

Zhao Xin was not guarding in the palace at this time, but suddenly mysteriously appeared outside the city. There must be something wrong with it. Thinking of the rumors of discord between the master and the king in Handan City, I became more and more sure.

Think about it, but since Zhao Xin is here, he will naturally not disappear. He hurriedly followed Zhao Bing back to the tower, raised his torch and looked down at the city. He saw that the knight who was the first horse was indeed Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin looked up and bowed his hand with a smile; "Brother Le, it's all right."

Le Yi handed the torch to his own soldier and said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's Brother Zhao. Brother Yu just got the reward, and he knew it was you as soon as you guessed. I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

After a pause, he said strangely, "Brother Zhao, why are you here at this time?"

Zhao Xin said, "It's a long story. I was ordered to go out of the city to deal with important things. I came back late and missed the time to close the door."

Does Le Yi look guilty? "Brother Zhao should know that according to the law of our State of Zhao, the gate will be closed in three hours. If there is no tiger talisman king's order, he is not allowed to enter the city. Although my brother has a good relationship with you, the law is still not acceptable. Please forgive me.

Although Zhao was slightly disappointed in his confidence, he also knew that this was indeed Le Yi's character. He wanted to sneak into the city with Le Yi's friendship without revealing his father's identity, but now it seems that it doesn't work.

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yong behind him and asked in a low voice, "Lord, how about I let him come down to see you."

Zhao Yong nodded slightly, and his expression was not happy or angry. He is a person who advocates the military system, and he will not be angry when he sees that the generals in the army are so conscientious.

Although Zhao Xin spoke in a low voice, he did not hide his expression from Le Yi on the tower. He saw Zhao Xin turn around and whisper a few words to the people behind him with a respectful expression. Then he saw the man nodding, as if Zhao Xin was asking him for instructions.

Le Yi's heart suddenly thumped and suddenly realized something.

As the main general of Yulin, Zhao Guozhong has a few people who can accompany him and look humble. After thinking about it, there seems to be only one person.

Le Yi saw that although the person behind him had been bowing his head and couldn't see his appearance clearly, his figure and manners were very similar to that person, and he became more and more sure. I couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Fortunately, it was too dark for others to see clearly.

I also heard Zhao Xin look up and say, "I won't embarrass Brother Le. I was ordered by the king to go out of the city to do business. There are tokens from the master here. Brother Le might as well come down and have a look."

Le Yi nodded and said, "Okay." It was very troublesome for the gate to open and close. Le Yi asked his men to take the rope and throw it down the city. He slid down the rope.

After landing, he walked over to Zhao Xin, but his eyes were staring at the people behind Zhao Xin.

Under the moonlight, the man raised his head and looked at him. He was burly, with a dragon's face and a bird's beak. His eyes were very beautiful, and his appearance was extremely powerful. He was not Zhao Yong, the father of the State of Zhao today. Le Yi didn't dare to doubt at this time. He hurriedly knelt down to salute, but was dragged forward by Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin whispered, "Don't show off. The master doesn't want too many people to know."

Le Yi was ungrateful and bowed his head to the master in a low voice and said, "See the master."

Zhao Yong said "um" and turned his head to look at Zhao Xin, looking inquiring.

Zhao Xin said righteously, "Master, this person's name is Le Yi, and I think it's a good relationship with me. He is conscientious and knows the general idea. The master can completely trust him.

When Le Yi heard that Zhao Xin praised himself so much in front of his father, he was immediately oversed. To know that he is full of talent, the only thing he lacks is the appreciation of the Lord. If the Lord can look at himself differently, it will not be a lie in the future. Thinking of this, I couldn't help looking at Zhao Xin gratefully, but I secretly remembered it in my heart.
