Handan City, Zhao Palace.
Liu Sui paced back and forth with an anxious expression. He could not help but mutter to himself,
"Strange, so many days have passed, why is there no news at all?”
More than half a month had passed, but there was still no movement from Yunzhong.
Could it be that the people from the Black Horn Division took his money but did not do anything?
Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and gathered all the important officials of Zhao.
"Great King, look, there's smoke!" A palace guard pointed at the northwest sky.
When Liu Sui heard this, he was not surprised but happy. He cheered loudly,"It's here, it's finally here. It's really too little!”
His actions confused the guards of the palace, wondering what was wrong with their king.
The smoke was an early warning signal that an enemy was invading. This was clearly a matter of imminent danger, so why was he so happy?
Soon, a group of important officials from the Zhao Kingdom arrived at the Zhao Palace.
"Great King, Wolf Smoke…"
An important official who was sweating profusely was about to say something when he was interrupted by Zhao Wangsui.
"I saw it. Qing did a good job in this matter. Liu Sheng is probably trembling in fear!”
Liu Sui couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of his pride.
The surrounding people looked at each other, their faces revealing awkward and uneasy expressions.
"Your Majesty, that is our Beacon Tower!”
That person had no choice but to remind him.
"What about our Beacon Towers…our Beacon Towers?”
Liu Sui did not react at first, but after he repeated it twice, his expression immediately changed.
"Qing means that someone has invaded the border of our country?”
Despite the uneasiness in his heart, that person still mustered up his courage and said,"Not only that, but judging by the number of beacon fires, the enemy has already entered the country of Zhao!”
"How is this possible? I have 30,000 troops at the border. How can the enemy break through our defense line so quickly?”
Seeing King Zhao's expression, the military general had no choice but to step forward and explain to prevent himself from being implicated.
"Previously, didn't the Great King contact the Black Horn Division to attack Yunzhong? In order to gain their trust, didn't the Great King order the army to retreat thirty li?”
"What?"
Liu Sui's eyes widened when he heard this. He wanted to retort, but he seemed to have said something similar in his memory.
This time, they were caught in an awkward situation.
"Reporting, Great King, Hanoi County has been breached and the official warehouse has been looted.”
"Your Majesty, Minghe County has sent a distress letter!”
"Report, Little Black River has discovered signs of enemy cavalry!”
“……”
In the next half a day, more than ten letters of distress, emergency, or news of the city being breached came from all over the country, making the officials and ministers of Zhao extremely anxious.
"It's all your fault!"
If not for the fact that the other party's younger sister was his most beloved concubine, Liu Sui would have taught the other party a lesson.
"Cough cough, Your Majesty, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most important thing now is to chase out the invading enemies as soon as possible.”Someone at the side said.
"But I don't even know who the enemy is.”
Liu Sui retracted his fierce gaze, and his tone was depressed after being hit.
"This isn't hard to guess. With the enemy's tactics of coming and going like the wind, it must be the grassland cavalry.”
There was no lack of smart people in the country of Zhao, even though the enemies did not raise any flags.
However, he could still guess some things from the clues.
"From all the signs, the enemy should not have many troops. They are only using their cavalry to create chaos everywhere.”
"Those cities that were breached were either not guarded by soldiers or they took advantage of the chaos to sweep down.”
"From this, we can see that the enemy doesn't have the ability to attack the city head-on.”
"Unfortunately, if our defense line was complete, the enemy would not have had the chance to break in!”
In the end, it was all Liu Sui's fault.
With the defense line that the Zhao Country had built for many years, it would not have revealed such a big flaw.
It was better to stop cursing at the Overlord, so the person quickly changed direction.
"We can't be led by the nose by the enemy anymore. We should concentrate our forces in some of the main cities and traffic arteries.”
"While compressing the enemy's movement space, we'll send out cavalrymen to bite the enemy's tail!”
"If the enemy doesn't want to be completely wiped out, the only way is to obediently leave the country of Zhao before we surround them.”
It had to be said that this person was quite skilled in the military.
Even if Liu Sheng was here, he had to admit that the other party's words made sense.
However, this did not meet Liu Sui's expectations.
"Are we just going to let them go?”
He was very unwilling. He had never suffered such a big loss in his life.
What was worse was that he did not even know who the enemy was.
This was really too stifling.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to be angry. Every moment the enemy stays in our country, our country's losses will increase. I hope Your Majesty can consider the overall situation.”
When the other officials saw this, they also echoed,"Your Majesty, please consider the overall situation!"
Liu Sui's expression changed several times before he finally sighed." We'll do as you say!”
After obtaining his approval, the Zhao army immediately had a backbone.
They were no longer fighting fires everywhere like before. Instead, they were stationed near major cities and traffic arteries.
From the outside to the inside, they sealed off the enemy cavalry's movement space step by step.
"It seems that the people of the State of Zhao are not stupid!”
Bai Ma Yi, who was surrounded by Zhao He, quickly sensed the enemy's intentions. His tone was still very relaxed.
Just as the ruler of the State of Zhao had expected, if he wanted to leave now, the other party would definitely not be able to stop him.
"Uncle, are we leaving just like that?”
"What, you have other ideas?”
"Heh, I knew I couldn't hide it from uncle.”
Zhao Yun chuckled and then shared her thoughts.
"Hmm…this plan is a little risky, but if it succeeds, it will definitely leave a deep lesson for the State of Zhao!”
Zhao He pondered for a moment before making a decision.
"Cheers!"
He decided to do something big before he left!
