Having led his army outside Handan City, he had originally thought that he would be able to go straight to Handan after advancing another ten miles. Unexpectedly, at this time, he saw a group of mighty troops standing in front of him, and behind them, there were flags covering the sky. Looking from afar, these flags were densely packed with the words "Zhao" and "Pang", clearly indicating that they belonged to Zhao Jun.

"Hmm? Didn't they say that the elites of Zhao had already left to go against Qin Guan? "How come there are so many Zhao Jun born here?" Seeing this scene unfold shocked him. He couldn't help but think in his heart.

Just as he was thinking, the group of people in front of him opened and closed up, and a horse carriage with four carriages came out. On the horse carriage stood an old man with white hair and a beard. Under the cover of the carriage's roof, the elder had an indifferent expression, but his brows revealed an unfathomable mysteriousness.

When he saw the Yan Army under their lead, he stroked his long beard, smiled, and shouted towards the people around him, "General Xin, you have come from afar. Please forgive me for the disrespectful manner in which you have come."

When he registered the name "Pang Zi", he realized that this person had a very familiar demeanor. It was only when he registered that he realized that this person was Zhao's old servant, Pang Wen. Previously, there had been many conflicts at the borders of Yan Zhao. On several occasions, he had accompanied them to pacify the situation. Before meeting them, he had said that the person he was at peace with was none other than Pang Wen. In addition, he was already old and had long since reached the age where he could return home from old age, so he had never put Li Mu in his eyes. Today, seeing Li Yao suddenly come to welcome him, he felt somewhat surprised.

"Eh? I haven't seen him for many years, but to think that Old General Pang would still be alive. It's rare for him to be this old. " Seeing Pang Wen with his white hair and beard, he secretly felt that the State of Zhao truly was a powerless country. Even the four dynasties' elders came to order him around, thus he mocked and ridiculed Pang Wen.

"Heh heh, General Toroca's Hong Fu. General Zhou Xin is still alive. Would I, Pang Zi, dare to go first?" He didn't expect that Pang Wen wasn't the least bit angry. Instead, he spoke a few words of ridicule, which caused him to become slightly angry.

He only cast a sidelong glance at the man standing beside him. He did not say a word, and his expression was indifferent. Only then did he raise his voice and say, "General Pang has come at the right time. Today, General Pang has something that he needs to trouble you with."

"Oh? Since General Xin has an important matter to attend to, then please make it clear that I, Pang Zi, will do my best to help you. " Pang Wen pretended to be polite as he slightly bowed.

"Then let's get straight to the point, now that the six nations have joined forces to reject Qin, I, the King Yan, am worried that the troops previously sent out would be weak, so I have been ordered to lead the troops to assist, but it is only via your country, I wish to use your country's shortcut, Handan. This will not only replenish our troops' supplies, but it will also save us a lot of trouble of traversing over mountains and rivers. I hope General Pang can understand this. " As per the explanation given by Free and Unrestrained, he explained to Pang Wen.

"Hahaha, General Tu Xin came uninvited. Without our country's consent, he led his army and crossed the Zhao Realm, heading straight to Handan, don't tell me he still needs to ask for my permission?" Unexpectedly, Pang Wen laughed heartily, and his words were immediately mixed in with a burst of ridicule.

"What does General Pang mean by this?" When the director heard this, he could not help but ask loudly.

"My king has heard that General Tu Xin has travelled a long distance to come here, and has endured a lot of hardships, and has ordered me to lead an army to welcome him. If General Pang has any requirements, please state them clearly, and I will instruct the Military Administration to allocate some resources to General Tu Xin. However, regarding this matter of borrowing Handan, my king has instructed me not to borrow anything from him, and I hope that General Tu Xin will forgive me." Pang Wen said sternly, not backing down in the slightest.

"You ?" When he heard that Pang Wen actually refused to open the city to welcome him, he couldn't help but get angry. Just as he was about to explode in anger, he was suddenly caught by the loose man next to him and gave him a wink. His gaze followed the direction of his gaze, and he saw that Pang Wen's men were raising a cloud of dust into the air, and from time to time, the howls of the horses could be heard. He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the Free and Unrestrained Elders were reminding him to be careful of the army that was ambushing Pang Wen.

Now that he had understood, he immediately suppressed his anger and said to Pang Wen in a humble manner, "In that case, I'll have to trouble General Pang to send us some food and water to relieve the cold and fatigue of our troops."

When Pang Wen heard this, he nodded slightly and said, "Since Yan Zhao has formed an alliance, he should help out. However, there are still many soldiers in the city, so I need to return to prepare. General, please set up camp here first.

"Thank you very much." When he heard this, he cupped his fists in greeting and made a "please" gesture, signaling Pang Wen to hurry back and get ready.

Pang Wen also saluted and ordered the carriage to return to the formation. He saw that once the formation was opened, Pang Wen had disappeared without a trace. Soon after, Zhao Jun and his men began to retreat.

After Pang Wen left, he didn't dare to act rashly and only set up camp where he was. However, even when it was almost dark, he still couldn't find the materials Pang Wen had given him. The more Free and Unrestrained people saw Zhao Jun's banner fluttering in the wind, the more they felt that something was amiss. Thus, they made a report to the theater, while they secretly went to investigate in the camp of Zhao.

After a long while, while Ji Xin was waiting anxiously for something to happen, a figure suddenly flew across his tent like a gust of wind. The tent door fluttered slightly, and the figure had already arrived in front of him. Tu Xin was startled. He hastily drew his sword and pointed it at the figure as he shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into this general's tent?"

The figure anxiously replied, "It's me!" When he heard the voice, he felt very familiar. He looked carefully and saw that it wasn't Free and Unrestrained, but who was it? However, when he saw the impatient look on his face, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Xiao Yao, why did you come back so quickly?"

"Ai, Brother Xin, we've fallen into that old man Pang's trap!" Free and Unrestrained Daoist Master let out a long sigh and said in a annoyed tone.

"What do you mean?" When he heard what Free and Unrestrained Priestess said, his heart tightened and he continued to ask.

"So, Zhao Jun didn't set up camp in front of them. The military camp that seemed to be filled with flags was empty. I guess he must have been there a long time ago."

"Ah?" What about Zhao Jun's ambush? " When the director heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked again and again.

"Where is the Zhao Army lying in ambush? It's just that there are a few wild horses tied to wooden stakes in the barracks. Their hooves are all tied up with tree branches." Wild horses are inherently mischievous, and are usually tamed by the trainer. Ordinary trainers would tie them to a stake to kill them, and since this strong horse could not stand under the restraints of the rope, it would run around in circles on the spot. The dust on the ground would be swept up by the tree branches, and at that moment, it would appear to be filled with dust. "

When the drama heard this, it could not help but come to a realization: "No wonder there were faint sounds of horses coming from not far away. It must be because the fierce horse was whining randomly." He angrily said: "This damned old man Pang Wen has used such a cunning scheme to deceive this general. Let's see if this general will pull his tendons out or not!"

"What's the use of saying all this now, the most urgent matter is to take advantage of Pang Wen's incomplete preparations and attack Handan City, otherwise, it will be too late for him to bring reinforcements!" Seeing that the drama was preoccupied with cursing loudly, the Free and Unrestrained Man immediately suggested that he send troops to attack Handan.

"Great Master Xiao Yao's words are reasonable, but what if this old man has an elite army?" Although he agreed to take over Handan, he was still a bit worried.

"Brother Xin, you still don't understand the situation. Do you think that if there's a strong elite army here to guard against you and me, why would they deliberately set up such a suspicious formation?" Seeing that he was still hesitating, the others couldn't help but secretly jump up and down in anxiety.

"Yes, that's right, thanks to Grandmaster Xiao Yao's advice," Prometheus finally understood after listening to Free and Unrestrained's explanation. He immediately expressed his gratitude and said, "Prometheus will gather some men and capture Pang Wen alive!" Saying that, he hurriedly left the tent and gave out orders.

After four hours, Xin led his team and rushed to Handan City, by this time the sky had already entered the curtain, the sky was covered in dense dark clouds, the sky was devoid of the stars and moon, everything was pitch black, and even the bustling city of Handan, Zhao Du, was only faintly twinkling a few stars above, it looked as calm as usual.

"Could it be that this old fart, Pang Wen, is deliberately trying to cheat us into setting up an ambush in the city?" Seeing that Handan City didn't have the slightest bit of vigilance, he couldn't help but be secretly suspicious.

"Brother Xin, old man Pang Wen wants to sing a song about an empty city plan, so don't fall into his trap again, as long as you do your best and advance forward, taking advantage of the darkness of the night to attack Handan will be a great achievement."

When he heard his words, he nodded his head and shouted towards the rear, "Attack the city!"

Unexpectedly, before the rear forces had started to move, they saw that at the top of Handan City, a fiery light suddenly flashed, densely packed around the city, instantly lighting up the whole city as if it was day. The city was suddenly filled with people. The halberds were like a forest. The armor of Zhao Jun's soldiers were covered by the light of the fire. They looked even better, and their morale was high.

When Yan Jun saw this Zhao Jun, he was obviously on guard. He had wanted to attack the city, but who knew that Zhao Jun would appear in front of him like a man descending from the sky? He couldn't help but be stunned. Everyone just stood there in a daze, looking at each other, but no one dared to attack the city.

However, at this point, the order he gave could not be withdrawn. Just as he was about to shout out again, he suddenly saw a majestic figure standing in front of him shouting: "Plot Xin, you are claiming that you are from the Yan Zhao Alliance, and now you are using such a trick to kill our Handan City! What is your intention?"

The general looked up and saw that he was Pang Wen, the one who had obstructed his advance during the day. However, he was dressed in armor and looked even more domineering than he was in the daytime.

Seeing this, the Free and Unrestrained Fellow next to him immediately changed to a respectful tone and said to Pang Wen, "General Pang might have misunderstood. General Pang was only borrowing some food along the way when Yan Zhaoge was at peace with himself, but who would have known that after waiting for so long and not seeing what General Pang has agreed to, he came rushing forward to claim it."

Pang Wen took a careful look at the Free and Unrestrained Elders and asked casually, "Judging from their attire, they don't look like military men. I wonder who they are?"

When Free and Unrestrained people heard Pang Wen's question, they replied while saluting, "I am a Free and Unrestrained person from the Xiao Yao family of Mount Kunlun. I heard that there are many talented people in the Central Plains, so I came to the Central Plains to seek advice from knowledgeable people."

After hearing Free and Unrestrained Hero's introduction, Pang Wen immediately sneered and said: "Humph, I was thinking that with his ability to act, he would never have thought that he would take advantage of the situation to rob our State of Zhao. So it was you, a barbarian from the Western Regions, who urged him to do this."

When they heard Pang Wen ridicule them, they immediately flew into a rage, "Pang Wen, you old fool, come down and fight with me if you dare. See if I take your head or not!"

"General, you don't need to act to take the head of this old man. This general will take it!" As soon as his voice faded, one of the high-ranking officers rushed out of the formation and asked for his order.

Although he was still young, he was still full of fighting spirit. It was indeed the deputy general of the Central Army, Chuan Yuan. He was the son of the marshal, the marshal of the previous generation, Chestnut, and now that he had emerged, he wanted to ask for his father's revenge to wash away the shame of his father's defeat.

When General Xin Xin heard his murderous request, he immediately understood his intentions, so he replied, "Okay, since General Song Yuan has volunteered, I shall order you to be the vanguard and fight against the other generals of the Zhao Army."

"Thank you, Great General!" Hearing that Pang Wen old man, who was standing at the top of the city gate, shouted: "Pang Wen old man, quickly come down and die!"

When the generals standing on top of the city walls heard his arrogant tone, they could not help but feel infuriated. At once, two little generals shouted at him, "Is a third-rate character like you worthy of challenging our Marshal Pang? Let this general meet you first. "

The people who were speaking reprimanded him. Just as they were about to fight, Pang Wen warned, "General Le Cheng and General Le Xian, you must be careful!"

"Yes!" The two of them replied to Pang Wen together before descending from the city walls. Each of them rode a handsome horse, waving their halberds and rushing out of the city.

Seeing the two rush forward, he did not have time to think anymore. He took out his spear and kicked at the horse's belly with both of his feet. Then, he also started to rush forward like the wind.
