General Zhao Wang slapped his palm on the table, stood up abruptly, and cursed angrily: "You son of a bitch, you have missed our country's important affairs!"

Shi Long is his eldest son, and also his imperial son. After a hundred years, the position of King Zhao will be passed on to him.He was afraid that Shi Long would not have military merits, that firstly he would not be able to hold down the concubine elder brothers above him, and secondly that he would not be able to control the officials, so this time Liu Fu led the army to the side, he thought twice and decided to let Shilong go out on his behalf.He originally thought that although Shi Long was young, Liu Fu was not very old, and his military skills might not be much better than his son's, not to mention that Zhao people were always good at fighting, and with Shi Meng escorting them, he expected that there would be no What's up.After repelling the invading enemies, he would let Shi Long take on the big responsibility in the future, but he never thought that once the army went out, everything would be out of control.

Within a month, Hanoi changed hands, and now seeing that Hedong is not guaranteed, King Zhao can't sit still no matter what.He knew that he himself underestimated the enemy, his son who grew up in the deep palace was really no match for Liu Fu, but in front of the ministers of the court, he could not admit this no matter what, he could only spread the fire elsewhere.Zhao Wang lost his temper, sat down panting heavily, looked around and said: "Now that the front line is defeated, I am going to conquer myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, whispers sounded from below.The previous 15 people were defeated in Wangwushan, and 10 soldiers were lost; this time, among the [-] people who were hastily pulled up, another [-] were lost in Gaoping, and most of the family was emptied at once. No matter how you look at it , it is not the best policy to continue fighting with Yong Guo.But Zhao Wang has a fiery temper, so he can't just say this, everyone only looks at me and I look at you, and they wink at each other, but they don't speak.

Finally, Chen Qian came out of the squad and said: "Why do you bother the king to go to the army? I have a plan, and I can retreat from the Yong army."

King Zhao looked at him, "What's the plan?"

"My lord, this plan is very secret—" Chen Qian paused, and King Zhao waved his hands to everyone, got up and walked towards the apse.The palace servant standing beside said loudly: "Retire!" Everyone dispersed, only Chen Qian walked towards the back of the palace.

"Finally, what can you do?" King Zhao was impatient, Fang asked as soon as he saw him.

The palace people brought cushions, and Chen Qian sat on it and said: "Yong's army has come from afar, and the advantage lies in the quick battle, so it can't last long. Now that the morale of the Yong army is high, we should temporarily avoid its edge, fortify the walls and clear the fields, retreat to the fortress, and wait for it to change. Taking advantage of provocations and attacking them, today's shame will be avenged."

"Changes?" King Zhao shook his head, brows tightened, "What if they don't change?"

Chen Qian said in a low voice: "The minister who wants to be the king's counselor is the method of change."

Zhao Wang was interested when he came back, he greeted Chen Qianjin and said, "Come on, tell me in detail."

"Your Majesty, there are a few incisions that are a bit deep, and the skin and flesh are turned out. They are already dirty and need to be cut off. It will hurt a bit when cutting, so let's drink the mobos first."

Liu Fu took off his jacket around his waist, and his upper body was naked, revealing all kinds of wounds.He rolled his flag into the battle, entered three times and exited three times. Although Zhao Jun was terrified, he was also wounded more than ten times.He was covered in blood during the charge, but he didn't feel any better, but now he took off his shirt and felt embarrassed.He waved his hands when he heard the words, and said boldly: "In the past, Guan Yunchang scraped the bone to heal the poison. He didn't need to drink Mabosan, and he could still play chess with others. What's more, I suffered a small injury? Come, come and get me the chess equipment." !"

Someone reminded: "Your Majesty, there are no chess sets in our camp."

Liu Fu was very dissatisfied, but still said: "Forget it, let's do it like this. Jing Er, come over and talk to me."

"Your Majesty, let's drink it..."

The imperial physician wanted to persuade him, but Liu Fu raised his hand to stop the conversation, "A man is not afraid of death, why is he afraid of pain? I have made up my mind, there is no need to persuade me anymore, let's use the knife."

The imperial physician had no choice but to follow suit, put the boiled soup aside, fetched the knife, and roasted it on the fire.Liu Fu spread his legs apart, put his hands on his knees, and still chatted happily with Liu Jing who was beside him: "Today I told you about the Qizheng method, you—"

The imperial physician overheated, and cut Liu Fu's back for the first time. After this cut, Liu Fu's voice stopped abruptly.Liu Jing heard him halfway through and didn't have anything to say, so he said in a daze: "Brother Wang, what's wrong with Qizheng's method?"

Liu Fu looked at him, but still didn't speak.

"Brother Wang?" "Your Majesty?"

Seeing that he was strange, everyone asked each other, but Liu Fu ignored him.After a long silence, he suddenly raised a hand to block the doctor's knife that fell again, and said in a low voice, "Fetch—fetch Mabotang!"

At night Liu Fu tossed and turned in pain, unable to fall asleep no matter what, Zhu Cheng sat by the bed and said he wanted to watch over him, but he started snoring early in the morning.Hearing the thunderous snoring, Liu Fu couldn't help being very envious. Zhu Cheng was hurt more than him, yet he could fall asleep while sitting. Looking at himself, he couldn't sleep because of the pain. The more he couldn't sleep, the more he felt. Feeling the pain, sweating all over the body, the wound was covered with sweat, and the pain made him sweat profusely.

In the middle of the night, Liu Fu seemed to fall asleep in a daze for a while, but he woke up again not long after, wanting to get up and drink some water. He made a slight movement, but before he could make any movement, the snoring stopped abruptly , and then Zhu Cheng asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

"Ah," Liu Fu sat up, "I'm thirsty and want to drink some water."

Zhu Cheng got up and poured him a glass of water, Liu Fu drank it up and said to him, "Old Zhu, I don't need anyone here, go back to sleep."

Zhu Cheng took the cup and put it aside, sat down on the bed again, pulled up the quilt and put it on Liu Fu's body, "Didn't it be agreed that I will watch the night for you today? Your Majesty, you can rest assured and sleep, ah."

Liu Fu nodded, but before he could be moved, he heard the continuous sound of snoring.

Fortunately, Liu Fu's energy was still good. Although he was injured, it didn't affect his pursuit of death and northward pursuit, and he settled on Hedong.It's just that after the wound on his body healed, he couldn't sleep at night again.

"The grain and grass are already ten days late, why hasn't it arrived yet?"

In the tent of the Chinese army, Liu Fu frowned - the army did not move, and the food and grass went first.Now that he is alone in the depths, he suffers most from lack of food and grass. Wang Sheng sits in Chang'an and provides enough food and soldiers for him. This situation has never happened before, which makes Liu Fu anxious like never before.Although Zhao Jun was fighting and retreating, the places he passed were solid walls and clear fields, and the food he could take away was taken away, and the ones that could not be taken away were burned, and he was not even left with a single grain of rice.Now the food and grass in the army can still last for seven days. If the food and grass can't arrive within seven days, even the gods can't stay in Zhao Guo.

"Your Majesty, I have already sent someone to ask. It should be two days before the news comes back."

Now Zhao Jun is sticking to the cities of Taiping and Jinzhou, no matter how he challenges him, he will not be able to hold on.Liu Fu couldn't bear to let these elites attack the city, so he stalemate.Now that the food and grass are not enough, the east of the river has become a weak point. Although Liu Fu has never said anything, he is already secretly thinking about the possibility of withdrawing the army.

"Your Majesty, there is news!"

Liu Fu straightened his back for a moment, and said to the visitor, "How is it? Has the food arrived?"

"Your Majesty, it has been found out that it is Zhao Anmin, the food and fodder officer, who was late on the road because of drinking too much. This person has surrendered to Zhao in fear of crime. The prime minister said that the food and fodder will arrive within five days."

"Vot Zhao?" Liu Fu frowned, but he didn't take it seriously. Since Wang Sheng had a guarantee, he was more determined, and it seemed that there was no need to rush to withdraw the troops.

"also……"

"Why are you stuttering? If there is anything else, let's talk about it together."

The man paused for a moment, then looked at Liu Fu's face carefully and said: "This subordinate came from Chang'an, and now there are rumors in Chang'an city, saying..."

Liu Fu let out an "ah" and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you not to hesitate?"

The visitor really didn't have the guts to repeat it verbatim, so he could only try his best to use his words carefully and say: "The prime minister wants to take... the king and replace him."

Liu Fu was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, shrugged his shoulders and laughed twice, "Heh, heh", and reprimanded: "Talking nonsense." After a while, he withdrew his smile and asked again: "Has the prime minister heard about it?"

"The rumors are so widespread that the Prime Minister has already heard about it."

"Then how did he react? You didn't ask you to bring me a letter?"

"Back to the king, the prime minister didn't... didn't respond."

Liu Fu stroked his beard and waved him down.As soon as the other party retreated, another soldier came into the tent and said, "Your Majesty, the defenders at Changping Pass have intercepted the letter addressed to Zhao!"

"Changping Pass?" After Changping Pass is the border of Zhao State, Liu Fu gave him a strange look and took the letter from his hand.After looking back and forth, I saw that the sealing mud was still intact, and there was no trace of being opened.Liu Fu uncovered the seal, pried open the brass clasp, and took out the letter paper inside. There were only eight short words on it:

The great sage saw his death, and the local officials pardoned his sins.

It was Wang Sheng's handwriting.

At this time, the consequences of lack of reading were manifested. Liu Fuming knew that these eight characters had profound meanings, but he couldn't read the meaning of what was written on them at all.Compared with the content, Liu Fu was more concerned about what Wang Sheng was writing to Zhao Guo for?

Fortunately, he can't read it himself, but there are people under his command who can.Liu Fu asked someone to call Kuai Mao, and handed him the letter, "Deyin help me to see, what does this letter mean?"

Kuai Mao frowned immediately after receiving the letter, and instead of answering, asked, "Your Majesty, is this written by the Prime Minister?"

Liu Fu nodded.

Kuai Mao lowered his head, and was silent for a long time at these eight characters, before he finally spoke: "The local official is called Zhongyuan Second Rank Official of Forgiving Sins, and every July [-]th, he verifies good and evil, and forgives sins for others." .The so-called forgiveness of sins by local officials refers to the Ghost Festival.”

Liu Fu nodded again, suddenly realized, "Oh, Prime Minister, this is what you want to do during the Hungry Ghost Festival."

Unexpectedly, after finishing this sentence, Kuai Mao lowered his head again, and remained silent for a while, with a strange expression on his face.Liu Fu was also used to his temperament, so he suppressed his temper and didn't rush, just drinking tea and waiting for him to speak.After a while, I finally heard Kuai Mao say slowly again: "The great sage sees his death, and he speaks Kong Rong: After my great sage, I saw his death in Song—"

He paused, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Fu, "Whoever has the world, why bother with a golden sword!"

Liu Fu felt a thunder blast in his head, and when he came to his senses, he had already stood up, the table was bumped by him, the teacup fell to the ground, and exploded into several pieces with a "pop".He snatched the letter back from Kuai Mao's hand, read it carefully again, pressed the letter on the table after a while, and sat down slowly.

Changan.

"Have you found out the details of Zhao Anmin's delay?" Wang Sheng put down his pen and looked up from the case.

Zhang Qing replied: "The prime minister's guess is correct, it really is the ghost of Zhao Guo. Zhao Anmin's soldiers did not escape with him, he confessed that there was someone from Zhao Guo before, and asked him to vote for Zhao, but Zhao Anmin refused. The man didn't force him, and gave him a sum of gold, Zhao Anmin became addicted to alcohol after getting the money, and used all the money to buy alcohol, so there was a later delay."

"As for this Zhao Anmin, he did a thorough investigation." Wang Cheng frowned, "Forget it, it's because I hired people improperly, but fortunately it didn't cause a catastrophe. You go and write down the whole story in detail, and report it to the king. know."

"Yes!"

Wang Sheng picked up the documents on the case again, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear footsteps. When he looked up, he saw that he was still standing where he was, so he asked, "What?"

Zhang Qing hesitated and said, "There are so many rumors in Chang'an City now, won't the Prime Minister order to deal with it?"

"It's just a backstory. If I let people suppress the rumors, it will make people say that I'm guilty of a thief."

"Then at any rate, I should write a letter to the King, and justify myself..."

Wang Sheng smiled imperceptibly, but the smile was fleeting. Zhang Qing almost thought that he was busy with government affairs, which made his eyes dazzled.Seeing Wang Sheng's silence, how could Zhang Qing not understand what he meant, knowing that he couldn't be persuaded, so he didn't insist anymore, bowed and left.

As soon as he walked to the door, he bumped into someone.Zhang Qing and the man staggered back a step, but they didn't fall down. When the soldier fixed his eyes, he saw that he had bumped into Ting Wei, and he knelt down to apologize. Zhang Qing waved him to get up, "Don't kneel down, the business is important. .”

Wang Sheng asked in the room: "But what military newspaper?"

One foot of Zhang Qing stepped outside the door, but the other stood still inside the door. He couldn't help pricking up his ears, only to hear the sergeant say: "Your Majesty has retreated!"

"Retreat?" Wang Sheng stood up and walked towards him, "Isn't Jinzhou about to be conquered? Why, the food and grass were not delivered on time this time?"

"It has been delivered."

"That's what happened to the king in Zhao State?"

"The guard at Changping Pass caught a spy and found a letter from him that was sent to the State of Zhao. Hearing that the king was furious after reading it, he ordered to withdraw from Hedong that day, and his subordinates left the camp to return. At that time, the army had already retreated to Qinshui. During the retreat, Zhao Jun pursued and harassed our rear army all the way, but the king ignored it. It seemed that the retreat was particularly urgent this time, and I don’t know why.”

"What letter?"

"Subordinates don't know."

Wang Sheng pondered for a moment, then waved to him, "You step back first."

"Prime Minister..." The soldier did not move, swallowed his saliva, propped his hands on the ground, raised his head and looked at Wang Sheng, with a rather embarrassed expression, and said with difficulty after a while: "When my subordinates arrived, the army was still in Jinzhou , before the camp was pulled out, the king was discussing matters with the generals in the tent. When the subordinates were waiting outside the tent, they heard the king shouting in the tent, saying that the prime minister has betrayed me..."

Zhang Qing's heart trembled, and he hurriedly looked at Wang Sheng.
