Zhao Kuo dressed up as a black beard, originally thought that it was seamless, and he didn't want to come to Jufeng Business to be recognized at a glance, what the fat merchant said was even more intriguing, why should he help Zhao Kuo at any cost, what kind of mystery is implied, what kind of hardships and dangers Zhao Kuo will experience on this trip, is that mysterious person really as you think in your heart, please collect it?

Zhao Kuo left the business, and the group rushed to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city stretched out their hands to stop, and looked up and down at the bearded Zhao Kuo, who didn't recognize it, Handan City came and went every day, and the captain had a rule that all vehicles going out of the city should be checked, "What is on the car?" ”

Shanji stepped forward, "Tongjia rice store shipped, the old rules." After speaking, he stuffed the prepared iron money into the soldier's hand, the soldier coughed, a smile appeared on his face, came to the front symbolically patted, turned around and shouted, "Release!" ”

Not far away, holding a spear to block the way to the soldier outward, the coachman who led the horse pulled the reins in his hand, the cart started, making a creaking sound, out of the city gate to the east, Handan city gate is getting farther and farther away, thinking of the city gate Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shake his head again and again, taking advantage of the benefits of the function can not avoid any era, the key is how to improve the legal system, only the real legal system rather than the human system can completely avoid these unhealthy trends, otherwise a qiē is just empty talk, a small guard is still so, What about other officials, if everyone in the court can achieve self-denial and public service, how can these servants dare to accept private benefits and open the door to people.

There was nothing to say all the way, Zhao Kuo pretended to be a soldier of the alliance and led the convoy out of Handan, until the sun went down, and there happened to be a towering place in front of him, with some stones on it to shelter from the wind, Zhao Kuo nodded, everyone stopped, and took out the forage from the car and pulled the horses of the cart with a loud nose, which inevitably attracted the attention of others.

Everyone took out the dry food and water bags they brought with them and sat on the ground to rest, Zhao Kuo took out a map from his arms, with some horizontal and vertical stripes drawn on it, some can be seen clearly, with long ripples should show the water flow, the triangle represents the mountain range, the finger is gently pointing on it, from Handan to the capital of Qi This road should be the nearest one, the march map is carefully put away, rest overnight and immediately go on the road, along the way to appreciate the customs of Zhao country, the customs of various places are not the same, the more eastward the more desolate it becomes, Most of the people on the border are worried about war, so most of them choose places with high walls and thick walls to make a living.

Avoiding the difficult road, suddenly a burst of flowing water came into his ears, Zhao Kuo stepped forward quickly, stood on a high place and looked down, only to see a water stream meandering down to block the way, the water surface is 100 meters wide, the water is fierce, from a high place it looks like a white dragon, there is a city fortress built on the opposite bank, it should be built to deal with the Qi country.

Mu Chen stepped forward, "Childe, there is water blocking the way, if there is no big boat, you can't cross it at all!" ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, he had seen the above drawing on the marching map, and there was no river detail on it, originally thought it was just a thin stream, and it was impossible to pass without a big boat.

Qin Wan stepped forward and her eyes fell on the water, "I have heard that there is a water between Zhao and Qi called Jishui, and I will finally see it today!" ”

The flow direction of Guji water is recorded in the "Yu Gong": "The water is guided to flow eastward, enters the river, overflows into the Xing, east out of Taoqiu north, and east to He, and northeast will be in Wen, and north and east into the sea." "Jishui originates from Taiyi Pond on Wangwu Mountain in Jiyuan City, Henan Province. The source water underflows more than 70 miles to the east with the underground river, gushes out to the ground of Jidu and Longtan, forms two rivers of Zhu (Jidu) and Long (Longtan) to the east, and does not go out of Jiyuan City to meet into a river, called water, to the northwest of Wenxian County, the first name is Jishui. After the second undercurrent underground, through the Yellow River without muddy, in Xingyang again miraculously surfaced to the ground, when the water flows through Yuanyang, the south Ji three times ambush to Shandong Dingtao, and the North Ji will and form a giant Yeze, the water is hidden three times, a hundred folds into the sea, mysterious and unpredictable.

Zhao Kuo said: "Let's see if we can find a way to pass up and down?" ”

The guards agreed, and the two figures rushed out quickly, avoiding the fortress of Zhao State, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and the time passed slowly, and the two figures returned, "Hui Gongzi, the water is too urgent to cross the river!" ”

"Rest first, and then make a decision after deliberation!"

Encourage to stimulate potential, criticism creates estrangement, orders are only accepted, and consultation is king, especially in the face of unknown situations, Qin Wan and Mu Chen came to the front, "It seems that there is only one way to take a detour!" ”

Mu Chen nodded, "You can reach the border of Zhao and Yan along this water, and now you can only enter from the Yan realm and then enter the Qi country." ”

"What does Miss Qin think?"

"Brother Mu is right, it's all because Qin Wan didn't find out in time that the son took a lot of detours!"

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "There are mountains and rivers here, and the scenery is quiet, and it is also worth the trip to take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of Jishui!" ”

"Childe, Mu Chen will check around." After speaking, he gave a look, and Shanji hurriedly got up.

A gust of wind blew, and his hair fluttered, Zhao Kuo pointed with his hand, "That's Qi Guo, what does Wan'er think in her heart?" ”

Qin Wan showed a smile on her face, and gently picked the wild flowers with white fluff on the ground with her hand, and blew lightly with her mouth, and the white flew up and slowly fell, "Just like this white flocculent, there is no concern, and it takes root and sprouts when it gets there." ”

"If Qin Yu hadn't been in the way, he would have been able to live a life of abundant food and clothing as his uncle General Qi Guo, why did he choose to practice swordsmanship and run around?"

Qin Wan's expression moved, "There are some things that I can't control at all, and I don't want to mention them even more after they have passed, and I hope that Gongzi will forgive me." Qin Wan's head twisted to the side, Zhao Kuo looked at it, picked up a stone and threw it directly, with a snap, one person let out a muffled snort, covered his head and walked out from behind the stone, it was Shanji who left just now, followed by Mu Chen.

"It's you!"

Mu Chen looked ashamed, "It's all good to blame for pulling Mu Chen to hide here and eavesdrop." ”

Shanji grinned, although he only used a few percent of his strength to hit the door of the head, it was also not light, "Shanji is just curious, don't disturb the child!" ”

"Sit down, you can't talk to anyone, and discuss the matter of Yan entering Qi!"

The marching map opened, several people came up, Mu Chen pointed with his hand, "This road is the most suitable, this mountain is Lin Mountain, and the land below originally belonged to Zhongshan Kingdom, and now it has been classified into Zhao Kingdom!" ”

"Zhongshan Country?"

For the mysterious Zhongshan country Zhao Kuo has heard a little, the predecessor is the northern Di Xianyu tribe, for Ji surnamed Bai Di, Di people are good at fighting, Yan civil strife, Zhongshan country took the opportunity to send troops to seize a large area of land in Yan country, the reputation is great, how can it be difficult to survive in the cracks, first with Wei fighting, Wei sent Le Yang, Wu Qi to command the army, after three years of hard fighting to occupy Zhongshan, the remnants of Zhongshan retreat into the Taihang Mountains. After Zhongshan was destroyed, after more than 20 years of hard work, accumulating strength, and finally defeated the Wei State to regain and set the capital Lingshou, how could it never resist the army of Zhao.

Mu Chen said: "A country that is tenacious and tenacious and equally tragic. ”

"This is strength, no one can escape, only with absolute strength can you survive well, if you can't even maintain your own life, how to talk about protecting others."

"What Childe said is extremely true, Shanji summed up a truth, if you are not enemies, you will avoid, if you do not avoid, you will retreat, and if you do not retreat, you will flee!"

Mu Chen laughed when he heard this, "This is a little interesting, Mu Chen is different, he has no strength, he only understands one truth, as long as Mu Chen is in anyone, he can't hurt his son!" ”

"Childe has a plan in mind?"

Zhao Kuo shook his head, "The shape of the Qi country is unknown, it is inevitable that something will happen, and only after finding Qin Yu in the Qi country can we find the best way." ”

"Have you ever thought that this time it is very likely that you will not be able to return to Zhao Kingdom!"

"Zhao Kuo is not rash, don't worry, the worst ending has been thought of, and what he promised Miss Qin at the beginning will definitely be done."

Qin Wan kept with her hand, "Childe, do you remember this place?" ”

"McChu!"

Qin Wan nodded, "Maiqiu Mountain is steep, that day the Qi State sent troops to garrison here to contain the Zhao State, I don't want to be taken by the prince later, there was a pontoon bridge between Maiqiu and Qi, after the defeat of Qin Yu's army that day, I was worried that the Zhao army would take the opportunity to attack the Qi State, so I ordered someone to burn all the pontoon bridges!" ”

Zhao Kuo frowned deeply when he saw the marching map, and if he wanted to enter the Qi country, the road could not be passed, so he could only enter the Yan country from the Zhao Yan border, and then cross the Yan country into the Qi country, and stood up, "Rush to the border of the Yan country after dawn!" ”

The border of Yan is bright, a city fortress is located between two high mountains, directly separates the two places, the barracks in the city fortress are connected together, the barracks are covered with tall fences around the barracks, and there are deep ditches dug around the fences, which can delay the siege time to the greatest extent, the tall sharp wood is buried in the soil, the cavalry is even more unable to gallop back and forth, there is no war between Yan and Zhao, even so they dare not relax, fortunately, the Qi country has been in ruins after the war, and can only recuperate and be unable to attack Yan, and a team of soldiers patrol back and forth with torches on the city wall.

Time: Late at night, location: Yanzhao border.

The gate of Yanguo City was opened, and a person wearing armor stood in front of the door, followed by a team of pro-soldiers, it can be seen that the identity must not be low, and he looked into the distance from time to time by the light of the torch, who must be waiting for someone, and who chose to come here late at night is really puzzling.

"General, here!"

A sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the light from the torches was seen from a distance, and it was not long before a team of men and horses approached, all heavy cavalry, holding spears majestic, and the cavalry was divided on both sides, and a tall horse flashed out in the middle, and the whole body was full of jujube red, and the horse's legs were far higher than other war horses.

As soon as the reins stepped forward, the general standing in front of the door hurriedly walked a few steps to the horse, his expression was extremely respectful, someone came to stabilize the reins, and the horse man threw himself off the horse on one side, the garrison general who was usually a powerful man hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, the man shook his robe, and the garrison general hurriedly saluted, "Fan Yu has seen Lord Xiangguo." ”

The man nodded, "The old man is very grateful to have General Lao Fan greet him." ”

Fan Yu stepped forward, "Fan Yu doesn't dare to forget the grace of Lord Xiangguo's cultivation at all times, there are many people here, so it's better to talk about it in detail!" ”

"Good!"
