Chapter 386 Delay

"Get back!"

In the dark room, Guo Kai drove away everyone and sat on the bed alone, immersed in it.

Outside the window sill, a ray of moonlight poured out, which was the only source of light in the dark room.

However, after an unknown amount of time, a dark shadow covered the moonlight, and a deep voice resounded in the room.

"Why is Prime Minister Zhao looking for a trap?"

Guo Kai raised his head. Even though the person in front of him was wearing a mask and could not see his face, the sword in his hand was quite familiar.

"I didn't expect it was you who came, hiding the sun!"

Zhanri hugged his arms and smiled softly.

"I just came back from Yan State. I have urgent matters and I don't have time to catch up with you."

Zhanri was quite indifferent, which did not change because of the noble status of the person in front of him.

"I know what your emergency is, and I can't help you."

Guo Kai smiled slightly, his eyes bright in the darkness.

"oh?"

There was a trace of surprise in Zhan Ri's voice. Although he never looked down upon Guo Kai, he was still a little surprised at this moment. The other party seemed to have seen through the internal movement of the net.

"Can Prime Minister Zhao make it clear?"

"Luo Wang's actions were just to promote the alliance between Yan State and Qin State to jointly attack Zhao State. However, it did not go smoothly. King Yan was not stupid. He saw Qin State's ambition and wanted to find a way out. Therefore, Qin’s envoy has not yet seen King Yan.”

"good!"

Zhanri said, seemingly with a bit of admiration. However, this praise has a somewhat condescending meaning after all. He went to Yan State to promote the Qin-Yan Alliance. However, unlike before, Lord Yan Chun is no longer so easy to use. And it is more difficult to promote something than to destroy it, which is not what Luo Wang is good at.

"It's just that the Qin-Yan alliance is for Ye land after all. Since there is no way to get there from Yan country, then we can take it directly through military means."

"Are you wasting my time?"

Zhanri was a little impatient and continued with Guo Kai.

"It's just that with tens of thousands of troops, they were able to break into the suburbs of Handan. Up to now, the Qin army's prestige shocked the world. However, this was not Luo Wen's handiwork, and Luo Wen did not have this handiwork. This is also the purpose of your return!"

Zhanri looked at Guo Kai and took two steps forward. The moonlight shines through the gap, and the room is no longer dark and depressing.

"You finally said something interesting. You'd better keep it brief, though."

"Hanyang Jun!"

Covering the sun with a smile.

"Prime Minister Zhao has a very keen nose."

"Although these tens of thousands of Qin troops are led by Yang Duanhe, the way he attacks cities and seizes territory is not his previous style of military use."

"Does Prime Minister Zhao also have knowledge of military matters?"

Guo smiled and waved.

"Although I don't understand, there is someone in Zhao country who understands. As long as I put my ears and eyes in his place, I will naturally get what I want to know."

"It seems that it is not unreasonable for Prime Minister Zhao to take root in the Zhao Kingdom and remain unmoved even after being reviled by so many people. But, is Prime Minister Zhao deliberately Zhao Luowang just to show off his own skills?"

"Master Zhanri came south from Yan State this time, wasn't he just to find Zhao Shuang?"

"you know!"

Guo Kai touched his beard and stood up.

"He's in Handan!"

"What did you say?"

After all, Zhenri could no longer maintain that indifference. For Zhao Shuang, the entire network attaches great importance to him. There are many people in the net who want to kill him quickly, but the reality is just the opposite. The net cannot kill Zhao Shuang, but is in danger of being destroyed by him, so he has to be careful.

Guo Kai had never seen Luo Wang's first-class killer be so nervous in such a short period of time before. In Guo Kai's knowledge, this kind of emotion should not appear in Luo Wangtianzi's first-class killer.

"He is at the top of Handan City, mixed in among the corvees."

Although Guo Kai's answer sounds very funny and weird to ordinary people, there is a feeling of relief in Zhenri. Ever since Luo Wang got the news that the heavy armor army had entered Zhao's territory, Luo Wang had been looking for Zhao Shuang.

Luo Wang only knew that Zhao Shuang was commanding these tens of thousands of troops, but he was never able to find his whereabouts. And Guo Kai's answer finally cleared up the confusion for Zhanri.

Yes, hiding among the corvee is indeed a good cover. It's no wonder that the net couldn't find it for so long.

"Thank you!"

The assassins of Luowang never say thank you. For them, everything is a transaction and a task. Zhenri wanted to treat it as a transaction, but the other party also paid for it. However, Guo Kai didn't want it to end like this.

Zhanri turned his back and was about to leave when he heard a sound behind him.

"Luo Wang suffered a big loss at the hands of Lord Hanyang. Now, do we really want to sit back and watch him get the land of Ye and take another step forward?"

"What do you mean?"

"Leaving Zhao Shuang alive will be of no benefit to the net or to me. In that case, why not take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to surround and kill him!"

"You want to kill Zhao Shuang?"

Zhanri didn't look back, but there was a bit of disdain in his voice.

"It's not me! It's Zhao Guo who wants to kill him."

Guo Kai's face was very gloomy.

"I understand what you mean. I will tell the leader what you mean. Let's wait until we get the answer!"

North of Handan City.

"How long does it take to get to Handan?"

Li Zuoche led the cavalry troops all the way south to rush for reinforcements. At this time, he stopped and asked the marching commander beside him.

"This place is less than fifty miles away from Handan."

Zhao's most elite Hu Daobian cavalry was behind Li Zuoche at this moment, rushing to aid Handan and relieve Zhao's crisis.

"Take a break!"

Li Zuoche knew very well that the men and horses were already tired at this time and could not continue. The situation in Handan is not as urgent as first thought.

"promise!"

"General Sima Shang is behind and leads an army of 50,000, which is less than a hundred miles away from us. I believe that we will be able to defeat the Qin army this time."

Marching Sima handed Li Zuoche a water bag, with some confidence in his words.

"Repelling the Qin army is only secondary. What is important is whether we can retake Ye in this war?"

Li Zuoche's voice was full of doubts. Zhao State owns the land of Ye, which can push the border defense line hundreds of miles, providing a sufficient buffer zone for southern Handan.

If it is lost, the Qin army's front can directly reach the south bank of Zhang River. In other words, the defense line that Zhao State had spent huge sums of money to establish in the past two years was broken. Not only is it a waste of people and money, but it is also of no use at all.

"As long as tens of thousands of Qin troops are surrounded and annihilated, the land of Ye will naturally return to our Kingdom of Zhao."

Li Zuoche shook his head and disagreed with Marching Sima's somewhat optimistic attitude.

"Let's do this. I will enter Handan first. You will postpone it for one day and meet with General Sima Shang's forward, and then we will enter Handan together."

"Major General, what do you want to do?"

"I want to see who is the real person commanding the Qin army?"
