Huan Zhao was so angry on the city wall that he vomited blood.
Zhao Tuo didn't know all this and didn't care.
For Zhao Tuo, as long as he leaves Huan Zhao's command, he will no longer give the other party a chance to take advantage of him.
When Li Xin successfully defeated Wei and launched a campaign against Chu, he would no longer be afraid of the Huan Junhou, so he would let Hei Butu deal with it at will.
At this moment, as soon as the army set off from Chenliu, Zhao Tuo received a report that there were two people asking to see him on the road.
"Mr. Li?"
Zhao Tuo was slightly startled when he saw that the first of the two men was a middle-aged man with a right bun and a red bun on his hair. He was none other than Li Shiqi who had left after the Battle of Waihuang.
Next to Li Shiqi stood a man of seventeen or eighteen years old. He had a sword on his waist and looked around with a wary look on his face. If you observe carefully, you can find that his appearance is somewhat similar to that of Li Shiqi beside him.
"Haha, it's me. I haven't seen him for a long time. I didn't expect Zhao Gongcheng to be able to command thousands of soldiers. It's really surprising." Li Shiqi complimented him as soon as he came.
Hei Butt, who had just returned to Zhao Tuo, heard this and said dissatisfiedly: "Alas, alas, what nonsense are you talking about, a drunkard? Why do you call it a public ride? My military commander is now the fifth doctor! Fifth doctor! ,Do you understand!"
A smile flashed across the corner of Li Shiqi's eyes. It was as if no one could miss the conspicuous crown on the young man's head.
He followed Hei Butt's words and pretended to be surprised: "Hey, it turns out that Gongcheng has been promoted to the rank of fifth official, and even made a military commander. Such a speed of promotion really shocked me. In the entire Qin State, Gongcheng... ... No, it’s a young military commander like the fifth doctor. I’m afraid there is no such thing anymore. He is truly a young talent, unparalleled in the world.”
Hearing this, Black Butt giggled.
Even Zhao Tuo couldn't help but smile on his face. He said: "Sir, why are you doing this? I don't like to hear such compliments. I'm here, sir, so you might as well speak frankly."
Li Shiqi smiled, cupped his hands and said, "The bustle in the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle in the world is all for profit. Li Shiqi came here today just for fame and fortune."
…
"A good person comes here for fame and fortune, but this person is sincere."
Zhao Tuo stood on the chariot and couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the conversation he had just had with Li Shiqi.
After some polite remarks, Li Shiqi told the truth.
In the Battle of Xingyang, the Qin army won a complete victory. It not only smashed Wei general Zhou Shi's conspiracy to attack the Qin army's rear, but also beheaded thousands of people and captured Wei's son Bao. With such a victory, the Qin army naturally publicized it vigorously to discourage the Wei people from fighting. At the same time, the young men of Hufu Township who were released also spread the news everywhere.
Li Shiqi, who lives in Chenliu, keenly discovered the key points when he heard the news.
Zhao Tuo!
This young man who once persuaded him has actually achieved such great success.
Li Shiqi has been paying close attention to this matter, and through twists and turns, he has tried every means to find out the news that Zhao Tuo has been appointed as the military marquis.
After all, Zhao Tuo was ordered to train troops, and in more than ten days, he killed a 200-500-year-old master. Such things caused a stir within the Qin army. It was not a top secret, and it was inevitable that someone would find out.
Therefore, Li Shiqi has been waiting, hoping to seek another opportunity to gain fame and fortune from Zhao Tuo.
"Sure enough, only when one is in a high position and has a high position of power, will people take the initiative to join."
Zhao Tuo secretly thought that when he was still the Lord of Five Hundred, he could not decide on the strategic plan and could not provide a bigger stage for Li Shiqi, so he simply said goodbye and left.
But now, he had been promoted to the rank of military commander and could lead an army by himself. He didn't even have to invite him personally. Li Shiqi took the initiative to send him to his door.
This is a change in power and status!
This world is real. If you can’t bring benefits to others, why should others turn to you?
Zhao Tuo wanted to use his military skills to win this time when he marched eastward to Wei territory, so that he could test the results of his military training during this period. But since Li Shiqi came to his door, he had no reason to refuse, so he agreed to let the Li brothers accompany the army and temporarily act as guest advisers.
In addition to being a lobbyist, Li Shiqi is also a strategist and may be able to play some role in the upcoming battle.
After this incident, the army continued to march eastward.
To the east of Chenliu is Waihuang.
The general stationed in Waihuang City was Zhao Tuo's original superior Yang Xiong.
After hearing that Zhao Tuo was leading troops into the country, Yang Xiong led his men and waited on the road.
"Well, you Zhao Tuo, now you have become a military commander, and you are all coming to my head. Many of the soldiers under your command are my people!"
As soon as they met, Yang Xiong showed a resentful expression on his face.
When Zhao Tuo went to the west, the five hundred Guanzhong troops he took away were all his original subordinates. These 500 people were directly placed under Zhao Tuo's command by Wang Ben, causing Yang Xiong's troops to be reduced by half. He was in Wei and it was difficult to replenish his troops.
There are two to five hundred dignified masters, but now there are only five hundred people to command.
Even the defeated Hanoi army that had gathered in Waihuang City was summoned to Daliang by Wang Ben's military order and assigned to Zhao Tuo's command.
Not to mention that Zhao Tuo, who was originally his subordinate, turned into a military commander one level higher than himself in an instant. How could Yang Xiong not feel troubled.
Zhao Tuo laughed, patted Yang Xiong on the shoulder and said, "Come here, here are only 500 people. Isn't it worthwhile for you to be promoted to the fifth doctor?"
Hearing this, Yang Xiong smiled happily.
"Haha, it's a good deal! It's a great deal! Not to mention, thanks to your pursuit this time, I was able to be promoted to the rank of Fifth Doctor. If I can be promoted to this level of title, my victory in destroying Wei this time will not be in vain."
Because Zhao Tuo originally belonged to Yang Xiong, his pursuit of the Wei army to the west was also Yang Xiong's decision. Therefore, in the end, after the division of labor, Yang Xiong, who had been guarding the outer Huangcheng, was successfully promoted to the fifth official, which can be said to be enjoying the success. , naturally very happy.
After saying this, Yang Xiong no longer had any grudges in his heart, and he smiled and said to Zhao Tuo: "I asked you to sit in Waihuang City and buy you a drink to celebrate, but Zhao Ben said that you have military orders and should not enter the city to have a banquet. I couldn't resist him, so I could only bring you some wine and food. This guy is very old-fashioned, and he said that the two of them cannot go out together, and one person must be left to guard the city, so he didn't come out to see you off."
Zhao Tuo thought about Huan Zhao inviting him to the city for a banquet, and praised Zhao Ben for his meticulous work.
"I accept your suggestion. Zhao Ben is right. I have a military order and it's really hard for me to enter the city. When the battle is won in the future, let's go back to Xianyang and have a good time drinking and having fun!"
"Good!"
The army rested for a while outside Waihuang City. After the soldiers drank water and ate, they broke camp again and set off, continuing eastward.
But this time, there were no cities controlled by the Qin army in front of them.
There is the last territory of Wei State.
"To the east of Waihuang is Feng County."
Zhao Tuo looked at the map in his hand, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
