The city's guard generals were starting to write a letter to his wife in the city tower to report safety. The postman will come tomorrow. Taking advantage of the opportunity to pass on official documents, he wrote a letter to his wife and family, telling about his current situation, and reporting his safety to his parents in the high hall. This is necessary.

In this era, there were already post stations and post station soldiers, but they mainly serve the military and government. Of course, you can send a few small money and ask the post station to carry a letter from the family. Who still dislikes the money?

Because of the convenience of paper, there are national situation reports in the coming official documents of the future generations. Last time, the official documents came from the post station saying that the war with Zhao State was not ideal, and the king and his helpers had to draw the defenders of the capital to the border of Zhao State to strengthen their attacks. In this way, the rotation of garrisons in various places could not go home on time, and their guards would have no chance to go home and take a rest.

But the garrison soldiers were almost finished, and they were fine, with a small fief. But the other garrison soldiers were in misery because they needed their families to send food and clothing. Because the garrison soldiers could not go home, the family would delay their output due to lack of labor. The waste of this inflow would also consume their stored food. The garrison soldiers did not seize it, and they could not obtain the share of the seizures that belonged to the soldiers in the war. It seemed that some of the garrison soldiers under their command had suffered.

But these people, including themselves, are all people at the bottom who are in control. Their destiny is not controlled by themselves, and that is determined by the power in the hands of the superiors.

Fortunately, there is no war here, and everyone can sit here safely and enjoy the sunshine and rain in ease.

It was just as it was written, suddenly there was a chaos outside, and someone shouted: "I will guard, there is an enemy situation outside the pass, hurry up and take a look."

He immediately became nervous, and walked out while muttering: "Damn Hu, it's really annoying to harass him again at this time."

He was really not nervous about the enemy situation, because the pass here is steep and the Hu people can't get any benefits easily, so it's easy to guard it.

When I walked to the city wall and looked out, I saw a war horse standing in front of the pass, and a general was riding on the horse, watching the city tower. "Huh? Why aren't it Hu people, but Zhou people." I was puzzled, but then I immediately understood: "It's Zhao people. Zhao people have sneaked off the road and attacked the grassland, but how did they bypass the hostile grassland?"

But this doubt didn't need him to think about it anymore, because just when he was stunned, a whistle whistle screamed, and a sharp arrow flew over like lightning and drilled into his throat like lightning. The guard stood up with resentment: "Damn Zhao, you're going to bring suffering to the Yan people again."

As the guards were killed, the city of Guancheng immediately became in chaos. When the guards were in chaos, a group of cavalry rushed over. When the guards were at a loss, they rushed to the gate, took out a strange hook, and threw it on the top of the city.

It was a kind of three-claw hook. When it was swung up, it grabbed the top of the city. The cavalry immediately grabbed the rope on the hook and climbed towards the top of the city without hesitation.

"Cut off the rope quickly, hurry, hurry." A sergeant loudly reminded his subordinates. The soldiers who came to their senses immediately waved their swords and chopped the ropes, but they had just leaned out when the Hu people swarmed in from the city rushed forward. Those were the eagle shooters among the Hu people, and the bows and arrows in their hands shot out, shooting the Yan army garrisons who were leaning out accurately.

And in this blink of an eye, the climbers had already kicked the city, and a young general pointed the sword in his hand: "Put down your weapons, surrender and not kill."

There is no point in resisting the city walls. As long as they are the people of Zhou, surrender is the best choice.

The garrison soldiers did not hesitate and immediately put down their weapons, knelt down on the ground and surrendered - Maguan, Xiongguan City, Yan State, fell.

Loudi saw the smooth siege process, and was so surprised that he dropped his chin.

"Are you still able to attack the city?"

Zhao Xing proudly rode a horse into the pass, and said calmly: "In fact, this kind of siege effect has been deduced and practiced countless times, and it was achieved through various conditions. If it were in the future, it would not be so easy."

When the army entered Yanshan, Xu Jie gave up his carriage and rode his horse to Loudi and Zhao Xing, so he explained to Loudi: "First, we rushed to Shimaguan unexpectedly, caught the guard's general off guard, and panicked. The second general's sharp shooting effect was to capture the thief and the king, leaving the guard's general without a leader. Then the hard training of the three-claw hook invented by our master played the key, and your Theater made an indelible contribution. This was the result of such an effect."

Loudi really didn't expect that there were so many factors in just this little attack.

"These links must be closely coordinated. As long as there are mistakes and omissions in one link, we will fail." Zhao Xing told Loudi.

At this time, Le Yi carried his sword and strode down from the city: "There are five hundred soldiers in the city, and all the soldiers who have not fallen will be solved. We will lose fifty soldiers in the city and win a great victory."

Zhao Xing nodded: "But this time, I can't remember your contributions. Because, as the commander of the army, you are not standing in your command position to command the battle, but you are personally a pawn to attack. You are negligent."

Le Yi smiled indifferently: "The Lord is wrong, because the commander of this army is you, not me. As a general in the army, I should do what I should do at this time. Therefore, I am the first to attack the city. According to the military rules, I will be the first to win the city." Then he said proudly: "I have obtained the big house of Sanshe."

Zhao Xing concluded that he wanted to find some mistakes but he was betrayed the reward. He had to lose a huge loss.

The city of Maguan is naturally a horse market inside and outside the pass. There are a large amount of supplies for trading cattle and sheep, as well as many horses.

Of course, the Duke of Yan State was seized directly. The horses were all merchants, and of course they could not even move their hair. However, the merchants were treated with delicious food and drink, and temporarily put under house arrest and blocked the news.

According to the rules, the seized materials must be handed over to the monarch, and then the monarch will reward them again so that everyone can have a share.

Zhao Xing treated this as if there was no such seizure, and in the name of Zhao Yong, he rewarded Loudi as a reward for lending troops to himself. The reason for his lent troops in Zhao Yong was to ask Loudi to thank Zhao Yong and Zhao State to deepen his relationship with Zhao State. As such things gradually became more and more common, it would be natural to integrate Lou Fanren into Zhao State and become Zhao State.

This is Zhao Xing's ambition. Since he and Loudi are both tired of war, and have connected their feelings through business and eliminated the barriers, and Loudi still has the heart to integrate into the Central Plains, is it a good option to finally use this method of assimilation to merge Loufan?

Is it cost-effective to merge other people's population and land without violence?

Loudi was a straightforward person for Zhao Xing's decision. Of course, he did not understand the twists and turns of the Zhou people, but he was still grateful to the king of Zhao who could reward him so generously.

Zhao Xing taught him: "You should express your gratitude to the king for rewards."

Loudi didn't know this procedure, so he asked willingly: "The king is so grateful to me. But I don't understand this, and I have to bother my brothers to do it for me."

Zhao Xing was willing to do this for his own sake, so he took some time to write a thank-you letter on behalf of Loudi. Zhao Xing bullied Loudi without words, and bullied Loudi did not understand his own words. So he wrote this letter with sincerity, expressing his own blame for the original invasion of Zhao, and then told his true feelings about his suffering, asking Zhao Jun to agree to start a trade in Dai County, so that everyone can be neighbors in a harmonious manner.

After writing it, I pretended to read the title to Loudi incorrectly. The content was neither humble nor arrogant. After accusing Zhao of his mistake of blocking himself with righteousness, I suggested that everyone get along well with the original intention of living in harmony.

Xu Jie looked at the contents of the letter, listened to Zhao Xing's nonsense, and then suggested: "Since the King of Loudi thanked the king for his gift, he should send a formal envoy to his heart."

Loudi thought that he should thank others in person, so he agreed with this suggestion.

So Xu Jie became more and more arrogant: "According to the rules of our Zhou people, since you have received the gift from our king, you should give it back. This is a favor. Of course, your return is just a symbolic one, a horse and a few cows."

Loudi also believed that this was human nature, and this etiquette was more popular on the grassland, so he agreed with it.

Therefore, with the help of Zhao Xing and Xu Jie, Zhao State and Lou Fan started their first formal communication and exchanges, laying a good foundation for future development.

After arranging this matter, the army continued to roar south after providing necessary supplies here.
