"Shengzhi, I'll give it to you." Lu Tai handed a bowl of millet porridge mixed with a lot of wild vegetables to Zhou Guanfu.

Zhou Guanfu frowned, turned his head away and said angrily: "Eating this kind of thing all day long, the bird is almost fading out of his mouth, so don't eat it!"

Lu Tai sighed and said, "Be content, it's good to find something to eat."

Lu Tai was not nonsense. The Liang land was originally not decent because Peng Yue had caused trouble. Then Chu Qi fought and was searched twice by Han Xin and his son. Now there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away, and there are bones frozen to death on the road. Lu Tai's army has never been full since he entered Liang land, and has struggled all day long.

Zhou Guanfu said: "I still don't want to eat it. I feel frustrated and have no appetite."

"Are you still upset about the daytime things?" Lu Tai sat down beside Zhou Guanfu and said calmly, "As the saying goes, victory or defeat is common in military affairs, why should you care too much? Besides, you can't beat four hands with two fists, so what's more shameful?"

It turned out that this morning, the Han army fled to the bottom of Hulao Pass. Lu Tai and Zhou Guanfu only knew that Jin Xiang led 3,000 Hu Ben to attack and occupy Hulao Pass, but he didn't know that Hu Yan, Mengyuan and Mengliao also arrived inside the pass. Therefore, during the day, Zhou Guanfu led 5,000 Yuezhi cavalry to the bottom of the pass to fight. He thought that if he was lucky enough to kill Jin Xiang, he might be able to take advantage of the situation to break through Hulao Pass.

Zhou Guanfu named a name and invited Jin Xiang to fight at the gate of the pass, but Jin Xiang was not willing to show his weakness, so he came out of the pass to fight.

The two fought for more than a hundred rounds before the pass, but they were indistinguishable from the victory or defeat. As a result, they annoyed the young and energetic Zhou Yafu. General Zhou Tuesday slapped out of the formation and attacked Jin Xiang without saying a word. However, Zhou Yafu had just taken the horse and a general of Chu rushed out of Hulao Pass. Suddenly, Hu Yan, the notorious evil wolf!

The two brothers of Zhou fought against the tigers and wolves of Chu. They barely resisted for more than twenty rounds before being defeated. In order to cover Zhou Yafu, Zhou Guanfu was picked up by Hu Yan's horse spear on his back. Fortunately, the Red Dragon Horse was quick and fled back from the tigers and wolves. However, the five thousand Yuezhi cavalry he brought with him allowed Jin Xiang and Hu Yan to disperse.

Since Zhou Guanfu joined his father at the age of 16, he has suffered losses except for Hulao Pass. In the past few years, no one has been able to get a bargain from him. A few years ago, Hu Yan, the evil wolf, was just a match with him, but today he really lost to Jin Xiang and Hu Yan. How could he not be upset?

Zhou Yafu came up and said with some guilt, "Brother, it's me who dragged you down."

"Silly boy, what are you talking about?" Zhou Guanfu touched Zhou Yafu's head, and a soft look finally appeared in his eyes. Zhou Guanfu was originally a reckless person, although he was in his early thirties. His mind was still quite simple. However, after hearing the news of Zhou Bo's death, Zhou Guanfu finally grew up.

Next, Zhou Guanfu taught Zhou Yafu earnestly: "Yafu, you have also seen the result today. Although you are brave enough for the three armies, you are just the courage of an ordinary man. It is difficult to achieve great things on the battlefield. Therefore, you still have to ask the general for advice on military tactics in your daily life. In the future, you will strive to be a general like your father."

Zhou Yafu nodded solemnly, and from then on he was no longer obsessed with martial arts, he instead studied the method of starting a military ritual.

Lu Tai said: "Now the Central Plains, Hebei and Guanzhong are in chaos. I heard that Qi, Zhao, Yan and South Korea are all fighting. It seems that even the Huns have been brought in. It is impossible to break through the Hulao Pass, so it is better to cross the river and go to Zhao, and then go back to Guanzhong through Jingxing and Han. How about it?"

If it was normal for Lu Tai's lonely army to cross the river north, enter Zhao, then cross the Taihang Mountains through Jingxing, and then cross the river westward through Han land to Guanzhong, it would be absolutely dangerous. Unless Lu Tai had the ability to fight thousands of miles in Xiangzhuang back then, he would be afraid that no more than 40,000 cavalry under his command would not want to return to Guanzhong alive.

However, now, since Qi, Zhao, Yan, and Han are all fighting, the Huns are also involved. The situation is so chaotic, but it gives Lu Tai a chance to take advantage of the troubled waters.

Zhou Guanfu sighed, grabbed the job from Lu Tai, and said, "You can do whatever you say."

Looking at Zhou Guanfu with a bleak expression, Lu Tai felt sorry for him. Once upon a time, the champion Hou, who had always been arrogant, became so despaired? It seemed that the Han Dynasty was really unlucky.

#############

Lu Tai's inference was completely correct. The situation in Hebei was indeed extremely chaotic at this time!

At this time, Zhao Wu's general Zhao Wu's army was blocked by Qi's army in Lixia (Jinan). He had been attacking for more than a month and could not advance. Although Zhao Wu had received the order to retreat from Zhao King Zhang Ao, how could Zhao Wu be willing to do so? He still drove his troops to attack Lixia, and the battle situation was still in a stalemate, and it was difficult to decide the outcome.

The army of King Zangtu of Yan was also in a stalemate under Handan City for almost half a month.

The Yan country was weak, and Zangtu could only mobilize 30,000 people to attack Zhao. It was thought that Handan must have been empty at this time. The Yan army was surprised and was unprepared to attack him. Most of them could succeed in one blow. However, unexpectedly, General Bai Xuan of Zhao was prepared and used a trick to deceive Zangtu into the urn and almost died! Fortunately, Prince Zangyan fought to protect him, so he opened a bloody road and escaped from the city.

After this defeat, the Yan army was no longer able to attack Handan, but Zangtu was unwilling to withdraw his troops. At that time, while ordering reinforcements from the country to be dispatched, he secretly excavated the tunnels and prepared to dig the city before launching a sneak attack!

#############

Zangtu sat cross-legged in front of the table and was feasting on a large jar of cooked pork.

Zhao was densely populated and the people were rich. The Yan army was not large, with less than 30,000 riders, so there was no difficulty in supplying food and grass. However, over time, the disaster was almost the same as locusts crossing. It was really scorched earth, and no grass was left.

Gradually, raising food and grass began to become difficult.

With the rapid footsteps, Prince Zangyan hurried into the tent. Seeing that it was Zangyan, Zangtu licked the oily fingers and asked, "Prince, what are the harvests?"

Zangyan bowed to Zangtu and replied, "No, I led my troops to loot three forts, but only less than five hundred stones of food were found from it, which was less than a day's food!"

Zangtu frowned and said, "Then go to Ye County in the south to see, Ye County is a big county!"

Zangyan whispered: "Father, my son has accidentally received news today. It is said that the Han general Lu Tai and the champion Hou Zhou Guanfu have already crossed the river and fled into Zhao State with 50,000 cavalrymen!"

"What did you say?" Zangtu was startled, "Where did the news come from?"

Zangyan said: "One of the three squeaks that the son-in-law has been pulled out today, one of which seems to be the stronghold of the Chu State's Ebony Cliff. Several secret letters were found from it, one of which talked about this."

"Ebony Cliff?" Zangtu said sternly, "Is it really possible to say that?"

Zangyan said: "Father, when the Han army arrived, the situation in Zhao State became complicated."

Zangtu also began to hesitate for a moment. Lu Tai might not help Zhao, but in the same way, he probably wouldn't help Yan destroy Zhao. If Lu Tai just passed by, it would be easy. If Lu Tai had the idea of ​​occupying the magpie's nest and seizing Zhao as king, it would be meaningless for the Yan army to stay in Handan again.

Should I leave or stay? This is a question.

However, the entanglement of Zangtu did not last long. Soon, the flying cavalry from Ji County brought shocking news: the Xiongnu Shanyu Maodun personally brought 100,000 cavalrymen and had already launched a large-scale attack on Yan State!

"What did you say?" Zangtu grabbed the flying cavalry who came to report the news with his hands, wide eyes, and said in disbelief, "Mao Dun personally brought up 100,000 cavalry attacking and attacking Yan State?"

The flying cavalry focused on the key points and said: "King, the capital of Shanggu County has been lost. Now the Huns army has divided into four groups, divided into Jixian and Yuyang, and has no end. Let's branch four cities! The prime minister has condemned the flying cavalry to Beihe, and the Donghu tribes seeking help, but each tribe may not dare to offend the Huns. The king should return quickly!"

Zangyan made a quick decision and said, "Father, Yan land is the foundation of my great Yan, and you cannot be misunderstood. You should return to your master quickly!"

"Hey!" Zangtu sighed in great anger with boxing and ordered Zangyan, "Crown Prince, quickly pass down my edict, the entire army will pull out the camp, and return to Yan's land overnight!"

"Yes!" Zangyan responded with a loud bang and took the order.

In a moment, the entire Yan army camp became noisy, and thousands of pine and open torches were ignited continuously. In the bright light of daylight, teams of Yan army soldiers began to dismantle tents and load military equipment, and then began to chaoticly organize the team under the quarrels of small schools at all levels, and then headed towards the north.

#############

The Yan army's abnormal movements quickly alarmed the Zhao king and ministers in Handan City.

King Zhang Ao of Zhao, surrounded by the country's great power, Zhang Jing, the second general Bai Xuan, hurriedly climbed to the top of the East Gate. Sure enough, he saw the Yan army pulling out camps overnight and winding northward.

"Is this the Yan army's trick?" Zhang Ao said skeptically, "Why did you withdraw your troops?"

After careful observation, Bai Xuan shook his head and said, "From the view of me, the Yan army does not look like a fraud, but should have really retreated."

"Oh? The Yan army really retreated?" Zhang Ao was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "So the siege of Handan has been lifted?"

Guan Gao and Zhang Jing were overjoyed when they heard this. For more than half a month, they have been spending every day in fear. Fortunately, the Yan army finally withdrew, and such days have finally ended.

Bai Xuan shook his head and said in a serious tone: "King, it is not necessarily a blessing for the Yan army to retreat."

"It may not be a blessing?" Zhang Ao was stunned when he heard this and said in confusion, "Second General, how can you explain this?"

Bai Xuanyao looked at the dark night sky in the north and said worriedly: "If I hadn't expected it was wrong, the reason why the Yan army hurriedly withdrew was mostly because the Huns' soldiers were approaching! The Xiongnu Dan sent troops and would never just target Yan State. I, Zhao State, is it one of the targets of attack. Compared with the Yan army, isn't the Huns' army more difficult to deal with?"

Zhang Ao, Zhang Jing and Guan Gao's face suddenly collapsed. This was really not good news. Compared with the Huns, they would rather face the Yan army in Zangta.
