Chapter 945: The Magnificent Power of Han (Sixty-Nine)

Looking at this general of the Han army, Zhou Changshou thought for a moment, "Where is it?" he asked directly.

"General Zhou is so brave!" The Han general opposite gave a thumbs up, "I thought you would refuse?"

Zhou Changshou snorted, "Stop talking nonsense and take me there."

"General!" Zhou Bince, the personal guard general behind him, immediately stepped forward and whispered: "Be careful of fraud, you can ignore it."

"What kind of deceit can there be? Could it be possible that he would kill me? What good would killing me do to him? Once I die, the front line will be in chaos. Once the front line is in chaos, the Qin army will come in like a tide. With his seven or eight thousand troops, Can you hold the beam?" Zhou Changshou snorted coldly. "You all wait here."

The Han general stopped talking, turned his horse's head, and left the road. Zhou Changshou followed directly.

A small tent was set up in a dense forest on the far road. Zhou Changshou got off his horse, ignored the general who led the way, opened the curtain and walked in.

The small tent had a well-decorated table, and there was a food box on the table. The Han generals walked in immediately, opened the food box, and took out various dishes from it, which were still steaming.

"It may take a while for General Bu to arrive. You should eat and drink first. It's too late!" the Han general said with a smile.

Zhou Changshou picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine, and drank it down. He was startled and smacked his lips, "Good wine."

"Of course it's good wine. General Bu brought it from China. It's an old wine brewed by the Wu family in Jishi. It's also commonly known as the mother wine. It's never been sold to the outside world. It's extremely rare. General Bu also relies on his relationship with Commander Wu is an old acquaintance, and they came out of Fufeng together, so they blackmailed him a little." The Han general smiled and said: "You drink slowly, I will go outside to guard."

Zhou Changshou snorted, "He just blackmailed me for a hundred taels of silver. This jug of wine is worth it."

The Han general laughed and said, "Silver is easy to come by, but this wine has a price but no market."

Zhou Changshou poured another glass, but this time he did not drink it down in one gulp, but took a small sip. Then he closed his eyes and swallowed the wine. The man put down the curtain with a smile and retreated. .

As if Zhou Changshou had not seen him, he picked up the chopsticks from the table, picked up a piece of vegetables, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Wine is indeed good wine. As the Han general said, it has a price but no market. It cannot be obtained by money. I am afraid that except for those senior generals from Fufeng in Han Dynasty, no one else can get it. Since the infantry is willing to Take it out, why are you so polite? If you don't drink it, it's nothing. After tasting it slowly, Zhou Changshou squinted his eyes slightly, but in his mind, he was thinking about what tricks the infantry was playing.

The sound of horse hooves sounded outside, and then the Han general's respectful voice sounded: "Commander, are you here?"

Zhou Changshou snorted, took another big sip, and slammed the wine bottle on the table.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, the infantrymen strode in. However, the arrogance and coldness on their faces when they faced Zhou Changshou in front of Wu Qi were gone. Instead, they smiled. They walked in and sat down directly opposite Zhou Changshou, stretching out their hands. He picked up the wine bottle and just weighed it. He couldn't help but hesitate, and immediately shook it. There was still a drop of wine in it. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Why have you finished drinking it?"

"Why didn't I finish the drink you gave me?" Zhou Changshou smiled proudly, "But it is indeed good wine."

The infantryman's hand holding the jug froze in mid-air, and after a long while, he put the jug back into the corner with a bang. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "I am not a kind person when I meet people, but you know I got this jug of wine." How strenuous it is!”

"That's your business!" Zhou Changshou laughed, "Infantry, tell me, what are you trying to do in a mysterious way?"

The infantryman sat up slightly and looked at Zhou Changshou, "General Zhou, you must feel that life is very difficult now, right? You feel like you have no way out?"

"What a joke. I, Zhou Changshou, am one of the most powerful generals in the Zhao Dynasty. I have a great reputation, and I have countless elite soldiers and generals. I am desperate. Are you mistaken?" Zhou Changshou sneered.

"Yes, he is indeed a well-known general, and he is indeed famous. In the past, he was the second general Hengha under the command of General Zhao Mu!" The infantryman smiled and said: "General Zhou, I'm afraid that's the problem? If you weren't so famous, When you were in the city, you would not have taken the risk to plot against Yuyang, so that in the end you would have failed in vain. If you were not one of the most famous generals in the Zhao Kingdom, you would not have been sent here, right?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Changshou's expression changed.

The infantryman said calmly: "The Zhao Mu era of Zhao State has passed, and now is the era of Zhao Qi. General Zhou, as the general on the right and left of General Zhao at the time, what do you think will happen to you?"

"Are you being alarmist? I am still a general of the State of Zhao, and the more than ten thousand soldiers under my command are all the elites of the State of Zhao." Zhou Changshou said: "What can Zhao Qi do to me if he covers the sky with one hand? It's amazing. I just stay in the State of Wei." With?"

"Really?" the infantryman laughed, "General Zhou, we are all sensible people, is this really what you think? You have been staying in Wei State, do you think this is possible? Zhao State will not give Wei State any more With little aid, not only will you not get new soldiers, but on the contrary, your subordinates will be transferred back to the country bit by bit. When your subordinates gradually leave you, it will be your turn to call you back. You go back ?"

Zhou Changshou looked extremely ugly.

"Go back, you know what will happen if you don't go back and stay in the Wei State? By the way, the Wei State might have provided you with a position, just like your great Zhao reused Qin Jing Rufeng. In the Wei State, it is indeed very important. It's hard to find an experienced general like you who can command large armies in battle, but it's a pity that when we come, what Han can give them is far beyond what you can do, so even this road is blocked. General Zhou, what should you do?"

Zhou Changshou stared at the infantry angrily, "I won't let him transfer any of my soldiers!"

"Can you do it?" The infantryman shook his head and said: "Of the 20,000 soldiers you brought out from the whole city, 10,000 followed you to Wei. But now, how many of the 10,000 who followed you are still left?" In the State of Wei, apart from those who died on the battlefield and those who were injured and retired, how many people are there? Are half of them still there? Zhao Qi has been plotting against you since he brought you to the State of Wei. Do you think he will become the leader of the State of Wei? When the imperial court orders these troops to be transferred, what do you do? Do you disobey the order? Will the generals transferred later listen to you?"

Zhou Changshou glared at the other party, "You have inquired clearly. What else do you know? Why don't you tell us all?"

"Okay, then tell me something you don't know!" The infantryman tapped the table with his fingers, "Ten days ago, our country received a secret report that Zhao State's Tiger and Leopard Riders secretly arrested Wu Zeng in the Hedong Camp for having an affair with the Qin people. , conspiring to betray the country.”

"This is impossible!" Zhou Changshou stood up excitedly.

"General Zhou, do you think I would joke with you about this kind of thing? I believe you also have friends in Zhao State. It won't be long before you know the news." The infantryman leaned forward, "Wu Zeng has fallen. , will you still be far away?"

Zhou Changshou's body trembled slightly, and his mind was obviously extremely shaken.

"The State of Zhao no longer needs the State of Wei. This can be seen from the fact that when Zhao Qi was in Jicheng, he did not hesitate to sell the State of Wei to us. The current State of Wei is a burden in their eyes, while the great Han and the great Chu are talented He is the one they want to win over. If my king had not rejected Zhao Qi's proposal for various reasons, I believe that General Zhou at this moment would not be drinking with me here, but would be escorted back to Handan."

Zhou Changshou looked up to the sky and sighed. If it is true as the infantry said, Wu Zeng has been secretly arrested, then it will really be his turn next. The reason why Zhao Qi has not taken action yet is just because of the army currently in Wei State. , at least half of it is still in his own hands. He is worried that he will take risks.

"I won't be tied down." He lowered his voice and said viciously.

"But General Zhou, what can you do? Do you think the Wei people will accept you? Or will you go and join the Qin people? It's a pity that you don't dare to go to the Qin people, and the Qin people will not take in a general who is at the end of his life. , because even if you vote for them, they will not be able to take over the current Wei State, because we are here, and don’t forget how Ying Teng died? In the battle of Hangu Pass that year, under the command of Zhao Mu, you killed More than 20,000 Qin troops were killed, and Ying Teng was killed on the spot. Even King Wulie of Qin was injured by you. Who is Ying Teng? He is the uncle of King Wulie of Qin, the biggest contributor and staunchest supporter of King Wulie of Qin. You voted for the Qin people, and you will end up here. I'm afraid it won't be much better than returning to Zhao State," the infantryman said. "Or are you going to turn grass into bandits? Then we will have to fight against each other. A group of grass bandits with no logistics and no stable base will be wiped out. It’s just a matter of time.”

"You said so much, what exactly do you want to tell me?" Zhou Changshou was confused.

"The answer is very simple, General Zhou. There is only one way out for you, and that is our country of Han. The King of Han is willing to take you in." The infantry spread their hands, "This is your only way out."

"You are really a good lobbyist!" Zhou Changshou stood up with a sneer, "Your wine is delicious, but I won't thank you much."

Looking at Zhou Changshou striding away, the infantryman smiled and said: "General Zhou, I will wait for you to come to me. I said that your only way out is with us, and you will come to me."

Zhou Changshou paused for a moment, then strode away without looking back.

There was the sound of horse hooves outside, and Zhou Changshou rode away. The Han general who brought him came in, "Commander of the infantry, will he defect to us?"

The infantryman took a chopstick and stuffed the dish into his mouth and said with a smile: "He will verify some of the information I gave him. When he gets a positive answer, I think he will make the best choice. During this time, we We must also make all preparations, and do not rule out the possibility that this person will be alone and break the pot. Inform our army that all vacations will be canceled during this period, and the entire army will be on the highest alert."

"Are our military strength insufficient?"

"It doesn't matter, the King of Han has already made preparations. If the situation we least want to see happens, Gongsun Yi's independent cavalry division and Agu Huai'en's Donghu cavalry division have already made preparations." The infantry stood up. , looked at the jug in the corner of the tent, "It's a pity that this grandson drank all my old jug of wine." (To be continued)
