Chapter 716 A Fledgling

The ancient trees are lush and the vines are winding.

Zhang Er sat on the root of a tree and fled all the way, looking very bad.

Soon after, Chen Yu also came, and it didn't look much better.

Zhao State has been operating Handan for many years, and the surrounding land was developed relatively early. Julu County, on the other hand, appears to be relatively remote.

Dalu Ze in Julu County is one of the nine marshes in the world. It is surrounded by ancient forests and the terrain is complex.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu met here because there were too many pursuing troops behind them, making it difficult for others to detect.

"How's it going?"

Zhang Er asked. They were originally from Wei. They followed the military officials to Zhao and took root in Zhao. But now, the military minister is dead, and the Qin army is pursuing them, and they have also lived a life of escape.

"It's all over in Handan. The bright and dark things you and I laid have been washed away by the quicksand."

"quicksand!"

Zhang Er recited this name, the hatred and fear in his heart reached the extreme.

"Yeah, quicksand!"

Chen Yu also felt a sense of panic in his heart. In the past, when I heard about Liusha, I only knew that it was a powerful killer organization hidden in the rivers and lakes. Its leader, Wei Zhuang, was a disciple of Guigu.

Unexpectedly, this mysterious killer organization had already penetrated into Handan, the world's largest capital.

Responding almost at the same time as Xuedi's side, Liusha controlled Zhao's rebels and took control of Handan instantly.

Once an attack is launched, they have no power to fight back.

"When we first heard that Wei Zhuang was helping Zhao Shuang deal with Luo Wang, we already took precautions, but we didn't expect that it wasn't enough."

Zhang Er shook his head, feeling very regretful. Being reduced to this situation at this time is mostly helpless.

"It's too late to say this now, what should we do next?"

Now that the military official is dead and Handan has been lost, the two Wei people may not be able to take root in this Zhao land.

Zhang Er closed his eyes and pushed away the distracting thoughts in his mind. When he opened his eyes again, all the negative emotions just now were gone.

He looked at Chen Yu and asked.

"How many more people do you have?"

"More than ten thousand!"

Chen Yu didn't hide anything, and there was no need to hide it at this time. They got a share of Wei's national treasure. Over the years, they recruited troops and horses. They did not completely rely on Zhang Chu and put all their chips on the military ministers.

"Me too."

Zhang Er touched his beard and looked a little anxious.

"After the battle in Xuedi, the Central Plains will probably be in chaos. Now with these people and a few cities in our hands, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long." What to do next, the two of them had no idea in their minds.

But the sudden sound of footsteps in the forest alerted the two of them.

A large number of people came here, but the two of them had no power to fight back at this time and could only sit back and watch as these people surrounded them.

"You are not from the Empire!"

"Of course they are not!"

A noble young man walked out from behind the forest, his face a little pale.

"Zhao Xie has met two adults."

"Zhao Xie?"

Zhang Er and Chen Yu were both unfamiliar and familiar with this name.

"You informed us of the threat and asked us to evacuate Handan immediately?"

"Exactly!"

"Among the Zhao clan, have we never heard of you?"

Zhao Xie didn't care about the attitudes of the two people in front of him, and was even a little satisfied.

"When Qin destroyed Zhao, my Zhao clan was killed and escaped, and the rest were closely monitored by the officials of the empire. It's normal that the two of you have never heard of me."

"May I ask what you mean when you come to us now?"

"I'm about to ask you two to help me regain the Kingdom of Zhao."

Zhang Er and Chen Yu glanced at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

Why is the man in front of me so confident?

"But the military minister is dead, and the troops in our hands cannot resist the imperial army."

"It is natural for military ministers to fail. At that time, the Qin army captured Handan and Jicheng, and Hanyang Junzuo Town was in Hebei, connecting Yan and Zhao, with a deep layout. But at this time, he had already come out. Next, It’s my turn, Zhao Guo.”

"Master, do you have any ideas?"

"I wonder if you two have heard of the Blue Dragon Project?"

…

"Xindu?"

The candles burned and the room was quiet.

Zhao Shuang was a little surprised when he received the news from Zhao Di.

In front of him, Gai Nie heard the imperial army's military report, and his expression became serious.

"There is also news from Xiaozhuang, there should be nothing wrong."

Zhao Shuang looked at the military report and murmured.

"After Wei Zhuang took control of Handan, a cavalry force of 3,000 people suddenly came down from the north and took control of Xindu. At the same time, Zhang Er and Chen Yu summoned an army of 20,000 people, stationed in Julu City, and established Zhao Xie as Zhao king."

"At this time, there are not many forces that can have so many war knights!"

Gai Nie said something leisurely. The attributes of this troop of soldiers and horses are still unclear, but this sudden move is just in time.

"As soon as the military official died, this group of troops took control of Xindu. Zhang Er and Chen Yu took up the banner of the descendants of the Zhao Kingdom. It would be difficult to control the situation with quicksand alone. Where did this group of troops come from? of?"

Ge Nie didn't know about it, but Zhao Shuang already knew about this force.

"In today's world, Yan Dan and Tian Guang are dead, Zhang Chu is defeated, and the last part of Qinglong's plan is this army."

"Xiao Shuang, are you talking about the remnants of Dai Wangjia that the empire was looking for?"

The wind blew in from outside and the lights swayed.

"It would be impossible for these three thousand cavalry to go all the way north from Daidi without the cooperation of Han Guang and Zang Tu. Even the Zhao army in Zhongshan has turned to Zhao Xie."

"Then they have fifty thousand men."

"No, probably more."

The situation suddenly became tense, but Zhao Shuang remained calm and analytical.

"At the beginning, the military official led thousands of soldiers and horses to the north. Within a few months, tens of thousands of troops gathered. The Zhao army was so mixed that it was difficult for me to take care of it all. Now that the military official has just died, the Zhao people have not attached themselves. The troops around Handan are probably Many will turn to Zhao Xie."

Zhao Shuang walked to the candlestick step by step, looked at the increasingly faint flame, and smiled softly.

"The other party really picked a good time."

"Xiao Shuang, what should I do now?"

"Although their timing was good, it's a pity that their wings have not yet matured and their wings are still very immature."

Zhao Shuang smiled leisurely and his eyes became deeper and deeper.

…

"What a great Zhao Shuang!"

Zhao Xie gritted his teeth. He had just ascended the throne a few days before he heard the news from Zhongshan.

All 50,000 Taiyuan troops marched out and captured more than ten cities in Zhongshan, isolating Yan and Zhao.

"Your Majesty, the scouting horse has come to report. Li Xin is coming to Handan soon. The Yan army cannot go south, and we have fallen into isolation."

Their movements were fast, but Zhao Shuang was even faster.

Zhao Xie sat on the throne, touched his head, and finally made a decision.

"Send an envoy quickly to Pengcheng."

"promise!"

All the ministers exited the palace, and Zhao rested in the empty palace, thinking of the frightening figure he had seen back then, and sighed, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Lin Luhou!"
